Edo Traveler

Vol 9 Chapter 92: Respectful elements seem to converge

Caught a criminal?

   Still more than a dozen?

how could it be possible? Chungemon had already determined that the whole incident was a farce self-directed and performed by Putinya, and even the Russian soldier who lost the Molotov cocktail was caught by the British military police. The case is completely closed. The criminals who came out of thin air are still committed by more than a dozen people, deceiving ghosts.

  If the person in front of you is not from Naobi Ii, Chuemon must ask who you are. But I was sent by Naobei, so I won't lie to us.

   "I don't know if it is?" Seeing that Chungyoumen's face was not plain, the visitor had the courage to ask.

   "The murderer had been captured yesterday, and Shilu made Putinya to avoid demarcation with the shogunate and do her own thing." Kurokawa Kyotoku explained to the same person.

   "Huh? But there is a rumor in Edo that Higu draws a sword and Lushi Putinya fought against Lily, almost slashing it..."

   "Tell me more carefully." Chuemon frowned, motioned for someone to sit down, and said calmly.

   Not surprisingly, according to the description of the visitor, Chuemon quickly understood what happened to the public opinion in Edo in just a few days. Combining with the previous painful cutting of the Mito clan's 100,000 stones, which caused the Mito clan to abolish hundreds of middle and lower-level samurai at once, Chuemon keenly touched something.

   The tumbling movement of the end of the shogunate era does not mean that it was so huge as it happened and appeared. It has gone through a number of processes, and it is a process of gradual development.

  In the early days, it was mainly based on the two public opinion centers of Mito and Kyoto. Later, scholars and samurai from other places also participated. This category includes people like Iwakura Jushi who we killed before, and Umeda Yunhama, who is known as the iron rod to stab the big ship and can break the enemy. These people are similar to the "instructors" who provide theoretical basis.

   is also the so-called theory of destroying the barbarian, or the theory of respecting the king and destroying the barbarian. In ancient China, this kind of people were scholars and scholars. As the so-called talent rebellion, three years failed.

   Including Yoshida Shoin in history, he can also be regarded as a theoretical practitioner of the movement to respect the king and fight against the barbarians. Although he taught a lot of disciples, he still kept on carrying forward the theory, so Ii Naobi killed him just like killing a chicken, and he was just beheaded when he caught him.

   There is no effective resistance at all, and there is no strength to resist. Cut it down with a big knife, it would really kill people. And the spray on the mouth, no matter how much it sprays, it's just saliva.

   Later, at this stage in front of Chuuemon, the subordinate samurai of the various domains, as well as the renegade renegade, this huge entity, began to accept the theory of the king and the barbarian. And gradually hooked up with the interpreters of the theory, strengthening the strength of the respected faction.

   There are pawns and cannon fodder!

  Although the number of these people is not small, there is no military power, no more than the foreign guns and cannons of the shogunate. So what should I do? It chose a certain countermeasure that many political forces would adopt in the early stages of their development because of their weak strength.

   assassination!

   After the combination of theoretical and activist groups, assassination activities began to rise on a large scale. The so-called "Bakushou Four Masters" all began to become active after this. By continuously assassinating the Shogunate and the Founding Faction among the shogunate and the feudal vassals, indirectly made the Zunwang Jieyi faction stronger and more power to speak.

There is a saying that this is a good trick. The historical shogunate was assassinated because of the elders like Ii Naobi, but changed the previous tough strategy of founding the country and started the so-called "combination of the public and military." The overall tone of the shogunate became Compromised. It further increased the strength of the Kyoto court, that is, the honorable minister, giving it the upper hand.

   Later, the contradiction began to intensify, and at the same time, the Reunion faction had occupied the commanding heights of public opinion. The foreign lords who were dissatisfied with the rule of the shogunate themselves, the Changshu clan headed by the Maori clan, and other vassal states formally raised the anti-flag. Not only did they no longer obey the shogunate in general actions, but even sent troops directly to attack the shogunate, so that the "forbidden door change" occurred.

   On the whole, the success of the curtain fall is the final result of the cooperation of the three forces.

   One provides theory, one action implementation, and one force guarantee. The three hold together and completely ruin the Tokugawa family's more than two hundred years of history.

Chuemon originally thought that Ii Naobi had already killed the assassin in the Kyoto Koch before, and killed Iwakura Jishi and Sanjo Shiman, who could really provide a theoretical basis for the kings and barbarians, so there was no theoretical support. Reckless guys may only become idlers in society aimlessly.

   Everyone knows this truth, wow, on the next continent, if only the bandits rebelled, they would not get the court’s attention at all. At most, it is to deploy a few troops to encircle and suppress.

   Once the scholars and the insurgents gather together, and there are actions such as deciding the ranks, establishing systems, and setting up official offices, the imperial court’s attention will increase by geometric orders of magnitude.

   For example, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, UU reading www.uukanshu. Before the establishment of com Yong'an, the Manchu and Qing court paid little attention to the Taiping Army at all. After the establishment of Yong'an, the troops of the southwestern provinces will be immediately mobilized to suppress it.

   is nothing else, just because the uprising has theoretical support!

   is some kind of qualitative change, some kind of qualitative change that must be vicious to the shogunate. These rogues have begun to evolve and become so-called high-spirited scholars, and they have to merge with those who respected theorists.

   Once they fully converge, then the strength of the entire group of kings and barbarians will be greatly enhanced. With cheap cannon fodder thugs, the respected faction can take full measures to attack the shogunate and expand its strength.

   It’s just that the current confluence is still in its infancy. Although the ronin who claim to be Bigou draws a sword, even though they yell to respect the king and fight against the barbarian, they are just trying to get famous, and they are not yet a system.

   When there are planners, they will help them organize actions, who go and where to set fire, and burn to death tens of thousands of people in Kyoto or Edo, making the people panic. Someone was lying in ambush somewhere, assassinating the shogunate's elder Ii Naobi. Another group of people lie in wait somewhere, assassinate another old man, and so on.

   The blind movement of a single person cannot cause a fatal blow to the rule of the shogunate. Only organized and planned violent groups can use their methods to achieve their goals and shake the rule of the shogunate.

   Fortunately, it’s not too late to find out. Chuemon got up and walked, thinking about how to interrupt the process and avoid the confluence of theory and action.

  Perhaps, the Tokugawa family should be portrayed as a great man!
