Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 736: Do it yourself
Every bandit suppression or counter-insurgency war in Black Flag Qing Dynasty is a good business.

Especially after the restructuring of the Slave Division.

Nowadays, every domestic slave ship is strictly controlled by the seaports and slave departments in various places.

The business of exporting slaves to the four islands and one place was greatly hindered.

We can no longer stuff a few unlucky ones into the bottom cabin. Unless they are handed over to the army and registered as prisoners of war, Japanese with unknown origins cannot be listed on the third-class slave list.

This time there was a turmoil, claiming that they had found traces of the emperor and the general who conquered the barbarians across the sea in Liaodong, and wanted to send troops to Luo. At the same time, they also sent a ship to Liaodong to rescue someone named Matsudaira Tadahiro.

Of course he can't do it alone.

His neighbor, Matsudaira Naoki, was also a member of the Matsudaira clan, and three daimyo of the Sakai clan participated in the turmoil.

They are all children of the Tokugawa family.

This was done openly, but secretly, although the former lords of the feudal lords around Tokyo had changed a lot and most of them had moved places, there were many suspicions that they were involved in causing trouble.

Therefore, since the beginning of the rebellion, all the former feudal lords who had not moved around Tokyo were moved to the capital.

Checking slowly.

The scale of the rebellion sweeping across the North is not entirely exaggerated. Although the rebels were surrounded, many big names in the north did not take action when the rebels gathered. Instead, local officials stationed by the imperial court were made things difficult for them. These must be investigated.

To move the name, the Tokyo court had to ask Zhu Youjian for instructions.

Therefore, we can only let the army run around the Northland more, and let those Northland famous names who have not participated openly be more honest.

tokyo city.

In just one year, this city that was destroyed by fire stood up again. Driven by the imperial court's far greater resource mobilization power, the city's planning scale was far greater than before. Now there are construction sites everywhere, as if it will never stop.

The residents of the city have also undergone great changes.

A little richer, but also extremely busy, the good news of 996 envelopes every Tokyo citizen.

The most conspicuous part of the city of Tokyo is naturally the place where the Tokyo Imperial Court is located. Many palaces have risen from the ground, and officials from the six ministries come and go among them, all of them wearing Ming Dynasty costumes.

The most important task of the imperial court at present is the Yamagata Rebellion.

"Ikui is supposed to be a joke. The imperial court is no longer the era of daimyo. If the public and military families are loyal to the imperial court and devote all the young people in the family to scientific examinations, both the status of the military family and the dignity of the public family can be preserved. .

His Majesty the Emperor's great policies also tacitly approved and even approved of this kind of behavior, but they actually still want to go back to the past after seeing His Majesty's army and the grand scene of Liaodong, haha."

If a junior official is busy, a senior official will naturally be free.

In the guest room of the Ministry of War, an old man wearing a large official uniform, who looked extremely old and seemed to have run out of oil, but still had some vigor in his movements and words, was talking slowly.

Beside him, there was a dark-skinned and ugly man with an uneasy expression who was nodding along with him.

Matsudaira Tadaki, the sixth son of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"Whether Sendai Clan is participating in this battle or not, Tadaki, you have to think carefully before answering."

Matsudaira Tadaki hurriedly stood up and knelt down. Just as he was about to speak, the old man sneered: "There are no tatami mats here. It hurts to kneel down. The Qing Dynasty inherited the Ming system, and the old customs are most taboo when meeting officials of the Imperial Court in Tokyo."

"My lord, please forgive me!"

"Your Majesty should have brought the Princess to Tokyo in early autumn. The Yamagata Rebellion may have made Your Majesty and Your Majesty have a bad feeling for the four islands. The children of the Shinwa Party and the Kuroshiki Group are going crazy.

You have also seen the tragic situation of the Tokugawa clan and the Matsudaira clan in Tokyo in the past few days. You don't want to be unable to sleep for two days and three nights and only be believed that you were not involved in Ichiku when the blade was inserted into your belly. "

Matsudaira Tadaki was even more frightened: "I don't want to! Please save me!"

The old man took a sip of tea and said leisurely and calmly: "Isn't this saving you?"

After saying that, he closed his eyes in enjoyment and felt the taste of the tribute tea given by the imperial court. In the past, not even him, not even the Tokugawa generals could drink this kind of tea. "It's a pity that only old people can taste it."

Sanada Nobuyuki, the elder brother of Sanada Nobushige, the number one soldier in the Warring States Period, and a veteran of the Tokugawa family.

Once the shogunate was gone, the imperial court was established.

Sanada Yukimasa, the first pioneer in the Black Flag's capture of the Four Islands, held a high position due to his military exploits. It can be said that in the Four Islands, he and Aikawa Kazuki shared military power. Even because he was a serious samurai daimyo, he had more control than Aikawa Kazuki. .

Naturally, the Sanada family would not let it go. Sanada Yukimasa also needed the family's help to gain a firm foothold within the imperial court.

The 88-year-old Nobuyuki Sanada went from being a daimyo with a fortune of [-] koku to becoming the Minister of War in Tokyo.

He was promoted by Zhu Youjian based on his strength.

At this time in Tokyo, he became one of the leaders of the "New Peace Party" as a daimyo.

Xinhe Party.

To put it simply, it is a party composed of people who have passed the imperial examination or been promoted by the Black Flag court and have no political foundation.

imperial examination.

Samurai test.

This makes the New Harmony Party both civil and military.

In the Tokyo court, he was extremely at odds with the old daimyo and former shogunate public groups, and at the same time he continued to win over the samurai families in the court.

And they are also the staunchest supporters of the Black Flag Court.

He advocated abandoning old customs and practices, and even spurned the past shogunate system. He praised the superiority of the Qing court system from the top to the grassroots, and criticized the behavior of a group of daimyo who resisted the imperial officials who gradually governed in their fiefdoms. .

This also caused them to be like mad dogs in the eyes of the established powerful families.

"Ieyasu left a last word before his death to abolish your fiefdom. You lost your fiefdom at the age of 25 and have been in exile for almost 40 years. I don't believe you will participate in the turmoil, but the children of the Kuroshigumi are very stubborn and insist on investigating you. If It’s not me who’s stopping them, you can’t stop them in Hida Country’s mansion.

But I can stop you for a while, but I can't stop you forever. Zhonghui, he is over 60 years old, how many years do he have left in his life?In the past few years, I only hated myself for not dying early, but now I am always afraid that I will die early. I have never had such a high position! "

The status of the four island literati has never been so high.

The same goes for Nobuyuki Sanada.

Matsudaira Tadaki is a little different.

When he was young, he had a great reputation of 75 shi.

He gained and lost again, and was even exiled for nearly 40 years.

"But what if I tell you that Ieyasu didn't leave any last words asking Hidetada to abolish your fiefdom?"

As soon as these words came out, Matsudaira Tadaki's eyes widened, his face darkened by vicissitudes of life was ferocious and trembling.

In order to allow the advance fleet to sail to the Americas, and to plan for the future colonization of the Americas, Zhu Youjian did not plan to kill on the four islands, so as not to arouse national consciousness and increase resistance.

But the new forces and the old forces are at war with each other.

The new civil servants and generals who took power in the Tokyo court knew clearly that the better the government's policies were implemented throughout the four islands, the higher and more stable their status would be.

The old daimyo entrenched in the fiefdom must be eliminated and suppressed.

"You are not a daimyo, and you have not participated in the samurai examination. You are white in your sixtieth year, and it is impossible to join the army or politics. However, there are many wild samurai under the black warrior group. I recommend it."
