Fumishi Ishikawamura is not a fool. The reason why he is addicted to alcohol and sex and is unwilling to manage the vassal state is that no one can handle the deficit hole of millions of taels.

In order to be able to take over the project of Kanto Pu's request for service from Shimazu Shigeo, Ida Shigemura spent 220,000 taels of gold in order to be able to be from Shimazu Shigeo of Shimazu family.

In the fifth year of Minghe (1768), due to the serious loss of copper in China, Edo ordered that the Sendai vassal use of iron produced in this vassal to cast Kuanyong Tengbao iron coins and gave them a seven-year license period.

Ida Shige Village saw that it was so great. After passing this village, there was no such store. I fought hard! So a large number of square iron coins flowed into Edo, causing the value of iron coins to fall and prices in some areas to soar.

After four years, the shogunate could not bear it anymore. A typical bad currency was used to drive out good coins! Tanuma Yiji ordered the Sendai vassal to stop minting iron coins. The Sendai vassal had already gained benefits at this time, so he was not willing to give up. After several consecutive years of pleading to the shogunate, he finally continued to open the furnace to mint coins in the fifth year of Ernst & Young (1776).

But from then on, the Sendai Fan had to eat by itself.

Fumishi Ishikawamura and Shibata Minatosa left with Zhao Xin's conditions. Although he was a senior at the Bito family, he could not make any decisions about such a big deal and had to go back and convene meetings for discussions.

Zhao Xincai didn't care! At most, he could use shells to exchange for an obedient head of the family. This business is still very cost-effective. Compared with the poor, he had to be a trotter in the southwest vassal state, the Sendai vassal state has a good economic situation and has a foundation for doing it.

So look, this year is an era when the shogunate and the daimyo are bad; there is no good, only bad and even worse.

After leaving Ishimatsu Port, the Thor went south and drove straight to Edo Bay at full speed. Heita also led a few subordinates to run wildly along Tokaido to Edo. Three days later, the five people finally arrived at the Nihon Bridge in Edo Castle in the early morning; this is also the starting point of five streets in the island country.

In the early morning, Edo Castle was already full of people, and the seafood and vegetable market under Nihonbashi was the most lively time. Heita and others who were running all the way, who were standing in front of him and putting on his back, first found a small stall to eat two bowls of soba noodles. After recovering, they found a nearby traveler to stay. After resting until noon, the five people went out separately and wandered around each town to inquire about the news.

In the past two years, due to the great famine, the farmers left their hometowns, and some went to Sendai, while the other large part came to Edo Castle. They were looking forward to finding a better life in the bustling downtown. At this time, in the town of Edo Castle, Naraya, Zunya and Kita Village, under the jurisdiction of the three "Monday Send" of Naraya, Zunya and Kita Village, there were more than 200 village chiefs who each managed several to dozens of streets. The rows of long houses on the street were filled with landlords and urban civilians from the countryside.

Those refugees who fled to Edo with their families and their families lived in nearby Kanda, Kojicho and other places. With the introduction of the guarantor and the guild, they worked handily in various places in the city every day.

In the afternoon, a spy guarding a Beihai Town outside the gate of Oichu, saw several fast horses entering Oichu with messengers. Heita and others who were asking about the store rent near Kyobashi and Nipponbashi also began to hear people around him saying that a white foreign ship suddenly came from Uraga in the morning.

At this time, Thor was anchored on the ocean between the Sanpu Peninsula and Tomotsu. From the morning, ships carrying supplies from all over the sea from all over the place were frightened to flee in all directions when they saw Thor. All the ships from the west fled back to Izu, and all the ships from the northeast ran to the Utsumatsu area to hide; while the ships from Edo Bay either turned around and fled to Yokohama, or went west to hide in Uraka Harbor.

The first to issue the alarm was the "Dengmingtang" guards on Mount Hiraene, located at the easternmost end of the Sanbu Peninsula. Immediately afterwards, several people stationed in Nishiura Ka and Li and his subordinates arrived one after another. At noon, the Tokugawa navy stationed in Uraga Port began to dispatch.

Before the black ships in later generations came, Uraga Fengshou's role was a customs office.

There are no decent defensive facilities here. Apart from the docks, shipyards, and houses (similar to post stations), there is only one steward and the Imperial Office. The initial local force was ten, fifty, and fifty; that is, ten police chiefs led fifty formal police officers. The responsibilities of the ranks are mainly to board the ship for inspection, collect taxes, and expel ships that are not allowed to enter Edo Bay.

In addition, due to the Thor invasion of Nagasaki two years ago, 50 new slight people were added, 11 water masters and 190 sailors were added.

So at noon, dozens of black sloops formed a large circle, with the Thor in the middle.

Looking at the big white ship in front of me, several water owners were trembling with their hearts and hearts. They thought to themselves, how could they fight such a big guy? It would be better to stay for a day and leave. Everyone goes back to their own houses. Isn’t it better to live a peaceful life?

After two o'clock in the afternoon, Uraga Fengshu, Ritanzawa Kusaemon and a companion, approached the Thor on a small morning boat.

This is the second time that Zhao Xin has met a direct official from the Tokugawa Shogunate, and the last time it was in Nagasaki.

The shogunate and the wise are subordinate samurai, but because they deal with common people all day long, they are mostly good at communication and conversation. In terms of clothing, the wise are both wearing relatively wide monochrome "shoulder clothes" and wearing "Ma Chengyao" cut with pinstriped floral cloth.

"Are you a Tangren?" Danzawa Hisaemon asked loudly in a crappy Zhapu dialect.

Jiuzang, dressed in military uniform, appeared on the side of the ship and said loudly in the island dialect: "I can't understand a word you said."

Danzawa Hisaemon breathed a sigh of relief, and the other party could speak his own language, so it was much easier to communicate.

"Please inform us of your identity!"

"I am Zhao Jiuzang. This time we represent Beihai Town and the Great Ainu Kingdom to negotiate with the shogunate."

Danzawa Hisaemon and his companions were stunned and thought for a while and continued, "Your Excellency, we ask for negotiations on board the ship. You have entered our waters without authorization. I represent the shogunate. I hope you can withdraw from the Uraga sea."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh, what official position is your Excellency? My Highness has his life, and he only speaks to people with equal identities."

"Your Highness?" Danzawa Hisaemon was shocked and thought to himself that where did you run out of the palace? Aren't these people Tang Yi pirates?!

Due to the suicide of Todashi Meng and the defeat of the Saga clan, Zhao Xin actually didn't know that he had already become notorious among the coastal vassals. Danzawa Hisaemon thought to himself that he had built a fort in Nagasaki and you couldn't beat it, so he ran to Uraga to make trouble again!

The companion on the Kozaki boat was so quick that he immediately pointed at Danzawa Hisaemon and shouted loudly: "This man is Uraga, the deputy who is responsible for negotiations."

Jiuzang was stunned and thought that the deputy leader had come. He was about to turn around and report to Zhao Xin, but Zhao Xin behind him laughed and said, "How can you make a fool of yourself! Does Uraga have a deputy leader? You ask him if he is the leader."

Only then did Kuzang realize that the other party was concealing himself, and his face changed. He was a mountain citizen and didn't know the organization of the Yuanguo Zhengyuan. But Zhao Xin understood this very well. He used to travel to Yokohama China Street and visited Yokosuka's museum.

The organization of Uraga Fengshu is to pursue two people, one of whom is always based in Edo Castle. Under the pursuit, there are two people in the group, and then they are in harmony with each other.

"Bastard! My highness asked me to ask you, are you the leader of the group?"

Danzawa Hisaemon and his companions looked at each other, and they said they were finished, and the lie was exposed!

The two of them were beating in their hearts, and suddenly another person's voice came from their heads, saying, "Your public servants are too young, and the old and middle-aged man has stepped down again. Forget it, I will make it difficult for me to ask someone from the Yusan Family or the Yusan Qing to come and I will talk to him."

"You are rude!" Danzawa Hisaemon and his companions were furious. Who are the people in the three families? They are all from the two senior officials; and the three ministers are also from the three "Qing". What qualifications are you, a group of pirates?

Seeing that the other party was not talking, Kuzo said, "We have defeated the 10,000 troops of Saga's vassal. How long do you think Uraga can last? Go back and report quickly. If our highness doesn't beat you, I'm afraid that there will be a large group of separatists in the end!"

Danzawa Hisaemon sneered: "Although our country is small, there are countless people who dare to die! What is ten thousand people? Within a few days, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will gather around here."

"Oh, the 80,000-kilo horses of the flag, right?" Zhao Xin walked slowly to the side of the ship, looked down at the two warriors below, and sneered: "Dare you two of you working with bamboo foil? Is the armor at home still there?"

Danzawa Hisaemon was so angry that he couldn't continue talking about this! People live a life of a face. Now the Tokugawa shogunate has nothing to do, but only face is left. People slapped the face without mercy.

"We are here for a day, so no boat can be in and out!" Zhao Xin's face changed and continued, "Tell me to the people in Yucheng without saying a word. I will only give you two days, otherwise you will first blow up the Hirasu-Hibashi Office, and then bombard the Yucheng Zhongao!"

That night, when Zhao Xin's warning reached Central and Austria in Edo Castle, Tokugawa's family immediately panicked. He had heard of the Thunder bombardment of Nagasaki Port. It was a devil who sank a ship with one shot and killed a deceased ship at the foot of the mountain. The devil's corpse and blood were really unaffected. This is really unprovoked. Immediately, immediately, now, move!

It’s impossible not to hide. Tokugawa’s family Qi is only 13 years old and doesn’t even have a son. Besides, Mito’s family has been staring at the general’s seat. Even if Kazuki doesn’t want to leave, his father Tokugawa’s Jiji would not agree.

So Gong Fangxi quickly took his biological mother Yu Fuyu and Maoji who had not yet passed the door to Yibashiyashi, the northwest of Oshi. At night, Jiaqi, who was shocked and scared, fell asleep with his mother and nurse, but the princes from Zhongao were still discussing countermeasures overnight.

"Sendaihou, you should negotiate this matter. Do I need to tell me the specific reason?" The person who spoke was Tokugawa Osamu of the Mito Tokugawa family.

"What does this have to do with me?! The conscience of heaven and earth, Matsushima Town and Ishimatsu Port were also attacked by Tang Yi, and this vassal and Tang Yi were also irreconcilable enemies!"

"Hmph~" Saga Fanfan hostage, who was sitting behind, rubbed the wound that would hurt when the weather was cold, and he thought to continue acting.

Maeda Oshisuke, the vassal lord of the Kaga vassal family, said: "How is the convening of troops in the city at the moment?"

Yes! No, no pot is available. Although the order to mobilize troops to the various vassals has been issued, do you have no idea what kind of virtues of warriors are now? Look, the prices of swords, guns, armor, bows and arrows in the city tomorrow will be raised.

One person here said: "People have been sent to check whether the stored cannons, muskets, gunpowder and war horses are in place. All the houses in the city are buying them overnight. But... saltpeter is slightly insufficient."

Not only is saltpeter not enough, but even swords and guns, war horses not enough. In summary, one word is that it is extremely decay!

If Tang Yi really made a move, everyone would have to continue moving and stay in a rural villa in Nikko Tozhao Palace in Shino.

"So..." Maeda Yuki turned his head to look at Ida Shigemura: "It's better to work hard for Sendai Marquis to delay it for a while and see what the Tang Yi wants."

Ida Chongcun, the son of Sendai, was so angry! The damn Tang Yi didn't come early or late, but he came at this time. Everyone here criticized him with guns and sticks, and his eyes were eager to swallow him alive.

Ida Shigemura thought to myself, why? Isn’t this vassal just buying some food from Tang Yi and reselling some untouchables? If you have the ability, you can sell it too! If you don’t starve to death, it’s a victory. I will help the shogunate reduce the burden!

Besides, the Sendai vassal really cannot beat those Tang Yi... When Ida Shigemura thought of the big bullet crater he saw in Matsushima Town, he felt distressed. With just one shot, dozens of samurai were beaten to pieces, and many people couldn't even get the corpse.

"A few months ago..." Shimazu Shigeo, who had not spoken at this time, spoke. This is the lord of the Shimazu family, Gong Fangxi's future father-in-law, who is really that kind.

"The news was sent back from the North Korean Kingdom that the leader of Tang Yi was said to be named Zhao. However, it is said that this person's surname is Zhu, and he is a descendant of the former Ming Dynasty King Zhao."

Tokugawa Osamu interrupted, "So what? Even though he was a descendant of the former Ming royal family, China is now the world of barbarians and tatars."

Shimazu Shigeo frowned slightly and continued: "The year before yesterday and last year, this person defeated the Qing Dynasty's tens of thousands of troops in the northeast, outside the Qing Dynasty's pass. It is said that he also captured the general who led the army and was a relative of the Qing Dynasty's emperor."

As soon as this statement was spoken, the several mu ministers who were still shouting to fight off Tang Yi were stunned.

Tokugawa's Tokugawa family's Tokugawa family looked sideways and said, "Samo Hou, the enemy is facing, what does this mean?"

"My intention is self-evident. It is best if such a person is not an enemy."

Shimazu Shigeo thought a lot. If the person named Zhao Xin won the Qing Dynasty and restored the Han Dynasty. When the time comes, he will turn around to deal with the island country, the first person to be affected will be the Satsuma vassal.

Since the 14th year of Qingchang, that is, since the 37th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, the Satsuma vassal state has been trying to annex the Ryukyu Kingdom. Although the second generation of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Hidetachi completely cut off the idea of ​​the Satsuma vassal state to annex the Ryukyu Kingdom, the continuous erosion of the past two hundred years has completely become a vassal of the Satsuma vassal state.
