Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at the goldfish he raised and burst into tears, "Why did I make the decision to send troops to North Korea?" It's stupid! Now that Japan is in the midst of disaster, how can I explain to my dead father and grandfather? ”

The goldfish can't speak, only knows how to eat, Tokugawa Ieyasu sat on the ground dejectedly, leaning on the fish tank and continued to mumble, "You can't compromise, Japan must not compromise!" To fight the Ming people to the end and send troops to North Korea, I am not the first person to do this! The shogunate can't collapse at my hands, and the Tokugawa family will still be in charge of Japan for thousands of generations, and they must not compromise with the Ming people! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu walked to the center of the hall and took the sword that represented the glory of the general, this sword, the katana, had seen too much blood!

In 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed as the Shogun of Seiyi and established the shogunate in Edo, and by the time of the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogunate was largely complete. The shogunate domain accounted for about a quarter of the country's land, and the rest was held by daimyo (princes) and was called a feudal state. The shogun is the supreme ruler of the country, with the elders and middle schools under him, who decide policies, govern government affairs, and are responsible for controlling the imperial court, daimyo and diplomacy; In addition, there was a Wakanian service, which was responsible for the control of the shogunate's territory and direct retainers, and also set up the temple shrine, Edo town, and Kansada, which were divided into the temple shrine, the treasury, and the Edo municipal government and the shogunate's direct domain. The shogunate set up county deputies or acting officials in the territories directly under its jurisdiction, and directly controlled the peasants. The power of the Tokugawa shogun was stronger than that of the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. The daimyo were the rulers of the feudal states. There are old families, annual mail, etc. Directly rule the people. It has the administrative, judicial, and annual tribute collection rights of the territory. The shogunate set up inspectors and inspectors called metsuke to supervise the feudal states, and controlled the daimyo by means of daimyo visits and confessions, and daimyo changes, but each feudal state remained relatively independent. As a result, a political system was formed in which the feudal states under the control of the Tokugawa shogun were divided and ruled. At the end of the 17th century, due to the development of the commodity economy, the shogunate system was in crisis, and the financial difficulties of the shogunate were reflected in the frequent peasant uprisings. In response to the crisis, the shogunate implemented the Tobo, Lenien, and Tenpo reforms from the mid-18th century to the 40s of the 19th century. But none of them worked. After the founding of Japan in 1854, the national crisis exacerbated the crisis of feudalism. Satsuma and Choshu and other powerful feudal domains in the southwest, under the impetus of the reformist lower-ranking samurai, gradually adopted a different policy from the shogunate, colonized the industry, and resisted foreign enemies. Under the pressure of the peasant uprising at the end of the Edo period and the Shogunate movement centered on the powerful feudal clans in the southwest, the 15th shogun, Tokugawa Yoshiki, was forced to declare the "return of the Hosei" at the end of 1867.

On December 9, 1867, the Shogunate faction staged a coup d'état and announced the abolition of the shogunate system. The newly established government of the Meiji Emperor completely overthrew the shogunate after the Boshin War of 1868~1869. At this point, the feudal shogunate in Japan came to an end.

Prior to the Imperial Disputes (Sugawara Michizane period), the power of the emperor was equivalent to that of the emperor of China. Because they practiced the Tang system. But after that, Japan went through the Heike regency one after another. The Muromachi shogunate, the Kamakura shogunate, the Ashikaga shogunate after the Onin Rebellion and the Toyotomi regency, and eventually the Tokugawa shogunate. From that time until the Meiji Restoration, for more than 1,000 years, the emperor was in a vacant position. For example, at the beginning of the Azuchi-Momoyama period, the emperor only had 5,000 koku of land, and although the Toyotomi family later increased it to 10,000, the Toyotomi family received 1.3 million koku. Later, the Tokugawa family increased to 50,000, but the shogunate received 4 million koku! During the Edo period, more than 20 generations of shoguns, except for a few people such as Ieyasu, never gave the emperor a title. The emperor had only fifty servants on weekdays, and he had to add 20 percent of the bran to his rice. However, whether it is Guan Bai or the general, they all have tens of millions of taels of gold. For example, Toyotomi's house has 10,000 scales of gold, and one is 3,000 taels. You can see it.

In addition to the military power, the shogun also has the right to distribute the territories of the princes and collect gold and rice from various places, and the emperor and the ministers around the emperor only have identities, and the shogun's meeting with the emperor is often just a formality, and the power of the state is completely in the hands of the shogun. In the Edo period, there was an emperor, and at that time the shogunate was an Edo shogunate, and the Japanese mostly called it the Tokugawa shogunate (created by Tokugawa Ieyasu). There were three shogunates in Japanese history, the Kamakura shogunate, the Muromachi shogunate, and the Edo shogunate. The emperor originally lived in Kyoto, but after the Meiji Restoration overthrew the Edo shogunate, he moved to Edo, which is now Tokyo.

The "Edo Shogunate" was also known as the "Tokugawa Shogunate". Japan's third feudal military regime. The Tokugawa clan took Edo as its political base and opened the government to rule the world, so it was also called the Edo shogunate. From 1603 A.D., when Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed as the shogun of Seiyi and established the shogunate in Edo, until 1867, when the fifteenth shogun Keiki returned the power of the government to the imperial court (i.e., the return of the great government). About 265 years, it was the strongest and last samurai organization after the Kamakura and Muromachi shogunates.

Tokugawa Iemitsu doesn't know if he will end up using this katana to kill himself by breaking his belly? Gently touching the sharp blade, "Si! With a soft shout, the blade cut a little bit of skin, and blood flowed, and the blood, red and black.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was still waiting for news from Matsudaira Nobutsuna, but he didn't expect Matsudaira Nobutsuna to return soon.

"What? Have all the people who will go to Kyoto to pick up the emperor been dispatched? Tokugawa Iemitsu asked.

"Huo!" Nobutsuna Matsudaira was lying on top of the straw mat.

Tokugawa Iemitsu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "That's good, as long as the emperor takes over, the defense of Edo can ensure that the emperor is worry-free, the Ming people have traveled to Japan, the supply is difficult, and the grain obtained by looting Kitakyushu and Shikoku Island is definitely not enough to support another two months, as long as they defend for two months, they will definitely retreat!" ”

Matsudaira Nobutsuna wiped his sweat, didn't know how to tell Tokugawa Iemitsu, and trembled his voice, "General, according to the report from the spies, the Ming army has retreated, and it has completely withdrawn from Chiba." ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu stood up in shock, "Where did you go?" ”

Matsudaira Nobutsuna shook his head, "Now all the ships in Japan have been wiped out by the Akito, and I only know that they are going to sea, and no one knows where they are going, and the most likely place to go is Kyoto." ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu sat on the ground in a daze, and let out a heavy thump! "Kyoto? Now what? If the emperor is arrested, where will the face of our Tokugawa family be? Why didn't you arrange for someone to pick up the emperor earlier? ”

Matsudaira Nobutsuna sighed, "Edo has always been surrounded by the Ming army, don't you remember the great general?" Don't panic, the general is not afraid of being caught or killed, at most he will be disgraced, he will not shake the foundation of the shogunate, and he can invite Emperor Gomizuo back at any time, the key is ......"

Tokugawa Iemitsu raised his voice and stared at the floor, "Say it quickly!" What is it? ”

Matsudaira Nobutsuna sighed, "Huo! The most feared thing is that the Ming people will besiege Kyoto but not attack it, forcing our army to go to the rescue and fight a decisive battle with us on the outskirts of Kyoto! There are only a few hundred guards in Kyoto, and if Akito had left for Kyoto by now, we would have no choice at all. ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded, regaining his calm, "You are right, what you are most afraid of is to surround but not fight, and to fight a decisive battle with us in Kyoto, where the terrain is flat, but the situation in Edo is different, which is conducive to the power of the Ming army's firearms and equipment!" But if the emperor is ignored, how will the people of the whole country view the shogunate? The samurai of the shogunate will also be unconvinced! You can only fight? ”

Matsudaira Nobutsuna also sighed, "Now I can only make preparations to rescue Kyoto first, I hope the Ming people don't do what I think, if they really besiege Kyoto and don't fight, it also proves that the strength and motives of the Ming people are not enough to destroy our Japan, they just want to ask us for money and food." I can't say anything, I can only contact them first. ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu was upset for a while, "Let's take one step at a time, hurry up and arrange the mobilization of a large army, 100,000 to defend Edo, and the rest of the 350,000 troops, and follow me to reinforce Kyoto." ”

"Huo!" Matsudaira Nobutsuna and a group of followers lay on top of the straw mat. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
