Edo Traveler

v9 Chapter 11: General?? Lifetime Events

When Keiho Tokugawa, who was called into the city, learned that he was about to be appointed as the guardian of Kyoto, he had no intention of resigning. When it comes to protecting the shogunate, there are few in the world that are more active than him.

   However, Tokugawa Keiho is different from history, and Tokugawa Keiho was probably a relatively feudal and conservative person in history. Now he is still a conservative, but after seeing the prosperity and glory of the British Empire, and seeing the so-called British Pearl, he is probably considered an enlightened conservative.

   So this Kyoto guardianship, everyone decides that I will do it.

   Since everyone agrees, Tokugawa Keiho has to make a request. The number of people left behind by the Owari clan at the Edo clan residence needs to be halved. Otherwise, they have to maintain a force of two to three thousand people in Kyoto and three thousand people in Edo. The Owari clan’s great cause cannot withstand this. Of tossing.

  The reason is very good. Although this might be a bit shameful, the dignified Owari Hou did not have thousands of followers in Edo, but it was better than the last Owari clan’s finances were dragged down.

  Ii Naobi accepted without surprise, and promised that the salary of the Kyoto guardianship was 50,000 shi. In other words, as long as Tokugawa Keiho served as the guardian of Kyoto for one year, the shogunate would give Tokugawa Keiho 50,000 shi more rice as a subsidy for his military dispatch.

   After the money matter is finished, the troops and horses will follow. The Owari feudal clan had two thousand soldiers, and the newly established group of five hundred Jingzhong Rangshi, and the old Kyoto institute had hundreds of people on behalf of them, and the total number was three thousand. At this point, I am afraid that there is no way to control the permanent population of two to three hundred thousand people, and there is also a large number of people in Kyoto, which is a big fan of barbarians.

   Moreover, these people have not learned to fight for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is not much better than expected. As a security policeman in peacetime, he can still hold his full post. If conflicts really break out, it will be difficult to make a difference.

  The transfer team gave me five hundred!

   Good fellow, the shogunate has only a few thousand shogunate teams, and you need five hundred if you open your mouth.

   Keiho Tokugawa is also right. The most combative force of the shogunate is the transmission team. If you really do battle, you must pass on to the Xixi team, do you count on Qiben 80,000 riders? Just as they were, they didn't even see the appearance of Yingmi's ghost animals. The sound of the artillery was still more than ten kilometers away, and the people fleeed in a rout. It was a bird.

   "Why don't you do this, one rotation of 500 people every three months, just as a training soldier." Chuemon somewhat guessed Matsudaira Chisun and Ii Naobi's concerns.

   The excuse for training troops is very good. When the army is not in combat, if it wants to maintain its combat effectiveness, it must have military exercises, and it must also exercise seriously. Thinking about it this way, is there any better practice method than a long-distance march?

   Every three months, five hundred people ran five hundred kilometers to Kyoto to replace the five hundred people stationed in Kyoto. Such a long-distance march, encampment on the way, preparation of logistics, no matter what it is, it will test the quality of the army.

   Although there are a large number of post stations on Donghai Street, eating and lodging are not a problem. But in the final analysis, the team can move back and forth for thousands of kilometers without incident, not only training soldiers, but also officers.

   The point is that three months is definitely not long, and Keiho Tokugawa, the lord of the Owari feudal clan, will not be given the opportunity to fully grasp the soldiers of the direct shogunate. Perhaps these five hundred people were transferred away as soon as they became acquainted.

  As a feudal regime, sometimes defending oneself is more concerned than defending foreigners.

   Anyway, the team came to Kyoto, not to patrol the streets or maintain law and order. That is to ensure that at the necessary moment, the shogunate has a loyal army and can go directly to the streets. It doesn’t necessarily need to be very familiar with Tokugawa Keiho, and it’s not a big problem if he doesn’t know the generals.

   After speaking, Tokugawa Keiho also knew that his request might be a bit taboo, and immediately stated that he would implement it in accordance with Chuemon's plan. The mission team sent to Kyoto is also under the direct command of the mission team’s own officers. Only when necessary, such as large-scale riots and wars, is the command power taken over by Tokugawa Keiho.

   negotiated up and down, then Ii Naobi led the play to the Tokugawa family. After listening to the opinions of the people, the Tokugawa family agreed. Fortunately, he encouraged Tokugawa Keibao to stabilize the overall situation in Beijing and make a good public family.

   It happened to be about this matter in Kyoto. Tadasho Ooka, who usually only serves Tokugawa Iesada, and never speaks about politics, suddenly said this.

   "Whether you are in Beijing, find a good match for the general."

What    said was indeed the private life of Tokugawa Iamatsu that Ooka Tadasuke should care about. And at this moment, this matter can also be discussed.

   If the Tokugawa family married a woman who was born in the Secen family, the father-in-law of the Tokugawa family would not be able to jump out of the shogunate. After all, the Tokugawa family would pay tens of thousands of taels of golden gifts. There is a shogunate who firmly supports the Tokugawa shogunate in Kyoto, who is in Kyoto, cheering for the Tokugawa shogunate. It will definitely be convenient for the shogunate to act in the public house.

   If the big wedding is held, it can also reveal the meaning of relaxation between the shogunate and Kyoto. UU reading www.uukanshu.com distracted the Emperor Xiao Ming who was dissatisfied with the shogunate recently due to the founding of the country. At least this year and a half, there is no time to worry about the establishment of a country or not, so I followed to plan the wedding.

   Then Keiho Tokugawa would be able to suppress the barbarians in Kyoto. Most of the barbarians are not noble, have a voice, and control the existence of public opinion. They had to be attached to the palace family and public officials who had the right to speak even though they were already weak, in order to disgust the shogunate.

   Once the emperor and the public are busy with other things, they become rootless duckweed. Even if Tokugawa Kebao really hacked and killed them, as long as the public didn't pay attention to it, it would be tantamount to not killing them.

   is a very good way to divert attention, especially at this time, it is good to use one. It is stronger than the direct conflict between the shogunate and Kyoto.

   "What does the general think?" Chungemon looked up at his cheap brother.

   "It's handled by the Sweeping Department." Tokugawa's family has no special opinion, anyway, his interest is not in women.

   There are more or less the same, and there is no the same. Anyway, it has been decided to adopt the pill as an heir. He doesn't care if the wife is not the wife.

   "Yes!"

   Yes, everyone left Zhongao and returned to Ciaoao. Things are not in a hurry, and the big marriage also requires a daughter in Beijing. Whether it is the emperor or the daughter of the Sheguan family, they are not leeks. It is impossible to cut a stalk and grow back in a few days.

   First, send someone to Kyoto to investigate and see if there are any suitable daughters, and then discuss the marriage with the Tokugawa family.
