Chapter 62: The Tokugawa family is soft

The atmosphere of the discussion in the conference room was at its hottest, and everyone thought that it was better to chase after the poor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"The sailor has been captured, how about activating that card at this time?" Wang Fuzhi knew Wei Yunshan's recent traces, and knew that Zhu Cihong had taken another big bomb card.

"Japan's sailors are gone, and it's enough to digest this bad news. If you play that card again in such a hurry, I'm afraid the shogunate will be stunned. Gotta give them a little time to react. As soon as they softened, we had to feed a few pieces of candy. In any case, it can be imagined that Tokugawa Iemitsu still has hope of letting Chiyoko and the younger generation of officials come to Daming for further study. Chen Zhenhui was very optimistic about the shogunate's attitude, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone laughed, and Zhu Cihong said: "That card doesn't move for the time being, and the time is not right." The situation in Japan is complicated, and yesterday's Matsudaira Nobutsuna is very annoying in other places, but one thing is right. Japan was different from Korea, and although the shogunate was powerful, the daimyo in various regions were almost divided by princes. It is not difficult to take down a shogunate, but without the shogunate, Japan will be in chaos, and this is not in our fundamental interests. ā€

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Chen Zhenhui said.

"Next, Wang Aiqing, you can go to the shogunate. Chen Aiqing doesn't have to follow me, let the news out, and wait for the big names from all over the world, especially the three royal families, to come and talk to you. Zhu Cihong said again.

Chen Zhenhui and Wang Fuzhi got up one after another, and they were all laughing.

Wang Fuzhi said very easily: "This scale is good. If you don't force the shogunate to death, but the daimyo from all over the world come to Chan-sama to flatter, it will definitely make the boat family nervous. ā€

"However, if you really force Tokugawa Iemitsu hard, it will be a headache. I heard that his body has not been strong lately. Chen Zhenhui also said with a smile.

They understood Zhu Cihong's purpose for letting the two of them do this.

Wang Fuzhi went to see Tokugawa Iemitsu, obviously to further force Tokugawa Iemitsu to bow to the Ming Dynasty and completely surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

After the Yui Zhengxue Rebellion, there is no sailor in Japan today, and no matter how you knead it, you can follow Zhu Cihong himself. The shogunate lost its naval division, and its strength was greatly reduced, and it was the time when it was at its weakest. Those careerists are sure to emerge overnight to compete for the next generation of Japan's lords.

Of course, ordinary daimyo don't have much strength, but the three royal families are definitely different.

In particular, Tokugawa Yorinobu will soon be rumored in Edo Castle that this time the Yui Masayuki Rebellion was led by him. When the time comes, he just doesn't want to rebel, and he won't have a chance. can only be forced forward by the general trend, and when Tokugawa Yoshinobu comes back to his senses, he will understand that he has no way out except to try his best to tie up the thigh of Mingguo.

At this time, he naturally tried his best to tie Chen Zhenhui's throat.

The other two of the three royal families are also similar in psychology, as for those big names, they will want to fish in troubled waters in the next competition, or take advantage of the situation, or make a fortune in a muffled voice.

But no matter what you do, you must face up to one point, the strength of the Ming people is the key force in the chess game of Japan.

"Proper persecution is needed, otherwise Tokugawa Iemitsu really thinks that he can hold Japan." Zhu Cihong was a little thirsty, drank water, and said: "But don't force it too hard, as long as his attitude softens, he still has to feed more carrots." Chen Aiqing's worries are right, according to Wei Aiqing's recent intelligence, the Tokugawa family can't be naked, and it won't last for a few years. If you really want to scare him to death all at once, it won't end well. ā€

"The minister understands the measure." Wang Fuzhi said again and again.

"Alright. Let's go get busy, no matter what, the rest of the work will be easy. If you don't want to be a grandson, won't you be an uncle? Zhu Cihong said wittily, causing the audience to laugh again.

The atmosphere ended the meeting relaxedly, and Wang Fuzhi and Chen Zhenhui were busy.

After the two left, Wei Yunshan took a step slower and stayed: "Your Majesty, Yanagi Shibei wants to see you." ā€

"Yanagi Three Days Dog, Ah......" Zhu Cihong's mind flashed the handsome appearance of the Onmyoji Great Tengu, and suddenly a sentence popped up: "How is the eyesight of Yanagi Shibei's eyes?" ā€

"Very good...... Your Majesty is ......? Wei Yunshan was confused.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and did not continue the topic: "Let's meet." ā€

Sure enough, all those rumors are false, and Yanagi Shibei is indeed not the one-eyed dragon in literature...... It's just that it's unknown if it's as handsome as Onmyoji Otengu.

Wei Yunshan put away his thoughts, he had been following Zhu Cihong for a long time, and he had long been accustomed to Zhu Cihong coming up with strange questions from time to time.

……

Edo.

When the news reached Oku, it was breakfast time.

Tokugawa Iemitsu has had a rare good appetite lately, and of course he is in a good mood. Mingren is indeed trustworthy, and he is still struggling with how to reply to the first request of others. One million textbooks had been delivered to Lin Luoshan's hometown a week ago.

Lin Luoshan happily went back, and also brought back many students who were studying in Edo.

For a time, the shogunate had a great reputation. It is not only in the mouth of Shilin students, but also won the love of many parents. They have claimed that this is the beginning of the prosperous era of Wenhua.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was not very energetic in his own right, also had a much better appetite, got up a quarter of an hour earlier than usual, and then ate breakfast slowly.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's breakfast was very light, porridge, cabbage, boiled eggs, and some other side dishes were arranged, but they didn't let Tokugawa Iemitsu move his chopsticks more.

He eats very slowly, pays attention to swallowing and chewing slowly, and takes great care of the feeling of his stomach.

The servants and maidservants who were waiting on the side were light and did not dare to disturb.

In the calm morning, everything seems so peaceful that people can't bear to spoil it.

Da Da Da ......

An anxious footstep sounded, causing Tokugawa Iemitsu to raise his head. He felt a little surprised, after all, it was still early and few people disturbed.

Originally, the footsteps were still a little far away, but soon, the footsteps became running, sprinting, and even tripping to the ground with a bang.

At such a fast pace, Tokugawa Iemitsu saw the visitor.

The embarrassed Matsudaira Nobutsuna had just fallen and eaten, his head was stained with grass, his forehead was broken and blood bloomed, and only a pair of eyes stared at people, which looked a little scary.

"My lord! Mingren is in turmoil! There was a mutiny in Edo Port, and the sailors were robbed by the rebels! Matsudaira Nobutsuna shouted eagerly, and Lang Lang staggered to his knees in front of the house. Subsequently, Matsudaira Nobutsuna spoke extremely quickly about the chaos of Yui Masayuki.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was picking up a spoon at the moment, wanting to scoop up the porridge. At this moment, when he heard the movement, he stopped moving.

Bang dang......

The spoon landed on the table, and the porridge spilled all over the floor.

Bang......

There was another muffled sound, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was originally kneeling on the ground with his head down, listening to the movement, only to find that Tokugawa Iemitsu was fainting to the ground at this moment.

"Call the doctor!" Matsudaira Nobutsuna's exclamation resounded through Oku.

Mrs. Awan hurriedly arrived with the doctor, and after a period of busy work, Tokugawa Iemitsu finally woke up.

"This is the last move of the Ming people." As soon as the Tokugawa family woke up, he spoke quietly, revealing countless coldness.

At the same time, Shigeji Abe, Tadaaki Abe, Nobutsuna Matsudaira, and Tadashi Sakai all came. Sakai Tadakatsu was the first to issue an order to blockade Ooku. If the general really doesn't wake up, everyone will be prepared for the worst.

Fortunately, there was no sign of the rebels in the city. The agitated ronins had a clear goal, which was to run to the ships in the various ports.

They wanted to pursue the path of wealth and went overseas to fight, but they did not see the goal of overthrowing the shogunate.

At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Tokugawa Iemitsu wake up. It's just that when I heard that Tokugawa Iemitsu woke up like this, everyone looked at each other.

Especially Matsudaira Nobutsuna, he stared at Abe Tadaaki with red eyes, and gritted his teeth: "Abe Tadaaki!" Is this the true face of the Akito you attracted? More than 100 large and medium-sized warships in Edo Port, the elite of all Japanese sailors, have been buried! Now, there was not a single battleship up and down the shogunate. The Akito gunboat is on Edo Bay, and Japan's national fortune is buried! ā€

"Who was it that brought all the sailors of Japan to Edo Port? The Ming people came here, naturally, with good intentions. Otherwise, what would the million books say? As for the Ronin Riot...... There may be a Ming person who is causing trouble, but after all, this is not a Ming person taking the lead in making trouble. At this time, if you come forward to find out the strife, is it to start a complete war? Where can Abe Tadaaki endure it, he immediately retorted.

Originally, the Japanese sailors were scattered all over the sailor bases, but this time the Ming escort fleet came, so Matsudaira Nobutsuna advocated gathering the main force in Edo Port, lest he be unable to resist the Ming army's sailors.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be served by the wandering samurai who rioted in his own country!

Listening to Abe Tadaaki's old story again, Matsudaira Nobutsuna's eyes turned even redder: "If you don't mobilize troops and horses, won't you be able to wait for the Ming people to enter the Great Ao?" ā€

"Right now, it's not the Ming people who have come in, but the sailors who have been snatched away!" Tadaaki Abe said.

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked impatient, coughed several times, and then said, "Okay, okay, no matter how much you talk about the past, there is no point in talking about it." Importantly...... What to do now. Sakai Tadakatsu, you can arrange a conference, and say that I am going to build a few Confucian training centers. Show your face, so as not to panic the people below. ā€

Tokugawa Iemitsu spoke, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Abe Tadaaki both endured it and shut up.

Sakai Tadashi is the oldest shogunate minister, the official worships the elder, and is above the elders, and can be called the prime minister of the Japanese shogunate. Tokugawa Iemitsu's arrangement was obviously to stabilize the morale of the military.

The news of his fainting could be kept hidden for a while, but it would soon leak out.

Only by appearing in public can we refute rumors and stabilize people's hearts.

"Yes. Please rest assured. Sakai Tadashi was relieved and said: "No matter what, this time the Ming people did not tear their faces, they did not move, and it was indeed a riot of a group of ronins in name." There is still a chance for things to ease. ā€

"There is only a chance for relaxation, and there is no reversal." Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled bitterly in his heart, but he had to keep his composure so as not to make his subordinates even more flustered.

Tokugawa Iemitsu paused, then looked at Abe Tadaaki and Matsudaira Nobutsuna and said, "Matsudaira Nobutsuna is in charge of rectifying Edo's defense. Either way, prepare for the worst. And also...... Let's count how many samurai were involved this time. Note that it is all samurai. According to the previous information, I am afraid that except for those wandering samurai...... Many samurai with positions were also shaken in their hearts. ā€

Go out for three or five years, and earn a thousand taels of silver.

This kind of sudden wealth is an incomparable temptation for people who are depressed and can't find a way out.

Not only the wandering samurai who have no place to live and are forced to the end of life, but also those formal samurai who guard less and less money will also have the idea of fighting.

"Yes." Matsudaira Nobu took the order and left.

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu comforted Abe Tadaaki and said, "Matsudaira Nobutsuna is dedicated to the public, not for you. This time, no one wants this chaos. Don't take it to heart. ā€

"The Lord is serious. In any case, the minister is the general's retainer, and he thinks about the general wholeheartedly! Abe Tadaaki hurriedly said.

Seeing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled and said, "You also hurry, if nothing else, Akito will soon send an envoy to ...... 'comfort' us." Of course, even if they don't come, you have to go as soon as possible to show kindness. Otherwise, you'll soon be behind the three families...... Go ahead, your burden is heavy. We all have to work hard! ā€

Looking at the tired face of the Tokugawa family, Abe Tadaaki was distressed, and even gave birth to a heart of mourning, and said cheerily: "Please rest assured, lord!" In any case, complete the task for the lord! Don't let Akito continue to make trouble! ā€

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded and exhaled, as if he were catching his breath again.

At this time, only Abe Shigeji was left in the house.

Similarly, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not rush to speak.

After a long time, when Mrs. Awan took the maid to help Tokugawa Iemitsu up and used some food, and his energy recovered a little, Abe Shigeji finally looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu with a worried face, wanting to say it but not daring to say it.

"Yanagi Ten Guards and Three Strict...... Something went wrong? Tokugawa Iemitsu had clearly anticipated this.

Shigeji Abe replaced Yagyu Jubei in the role of Ometsuke and took on Japan's intelligence work. But apparently, the assassination of Yagyu Jubei failed.

After all, if it's good news, Abe Shigeji won't hide it.

"Akito...... Saved Yagyu Shibei. Jin Yiwei commanded Wei Yunshan to personally lead the team, and ...... The people of the Sword Zen Dojo went to the empty building, and there was no trace. Abe spoke weakly, and he was even more scared.

He was afraid that Tokugawa Iemitsu would not be able to bear the bad news, and he was also afraid that Tokugawa Iemitsu would blame.

What made him a little happier was that Tokugawa Iemitsu seemed to have expected it and had accepted all this.

Especially at this moment, Tokugawa Iemitsu was even more remorseful: "It was my mistake to kill Yanagi Shibei." The Ming people have a saying, self-destruct the Great Wall...... I'm talking about it. ā€

"It's not too late to make amends...... Lord, why don't you go and persuade Yanagi Shibei to come back? "Abe Shigeji has a big heart. It's not that he has a noble character, but it's clear that he really doesn't have the ability to serve as a big eye.
