Faced with Matsushita's problem, Watanabeemon just laughed and said: "Matsushita-kun, I can't calculate the supplies needed to blockade all villages, but I know that the supplies needed to blockade all villages

The supplies are definitely a huge amount beyond anyone’s imagination, and I also know that Japan cannot afford such a huge amount of supplies.”

Matsushita snorted coldly at night and said angrily: "If Watanabe-kun knows this, why do you still say that you want to blockade a village to do something about the Umu Lixin? Don't you know that as more villages are blocked,

The more supplies will be needed, the more likely it will be for those good people and untouchables to cause trouble in the future?"

Tokugawa Ieki also nodded and said: "Yes, as the saying goes, you don't worry about scarcity but inequality. If all the villages that need to be blocked do not have supplies, those good people, untouchables, and even the samurai and ronin will only worry about their own villages.

It will be blocked. If the previously blocked village has supplies and the subsequent blocked village does not have supplies, then the only result is that the subsequently blocked village will be in chaos."

The most troublesome problem for Tokugawa Jiaqi now is actually exactly the same as the most troublesome problem for Guangge Jianren. They are both worried about the supplies needed to completely blockade the villages with leprosy patients - if the Japanese country can be as wealthy as the Ming Dynasty, let alone the blockade

What would happen to those villages with lepers, even if the entire Japanese country was sealed off for a few years?

The problem is that the Japanese country is not as wealthy as the Ming Dynasty. Let alone just blockade those villages with lepers, even if it only blocks half of them, the Japanese country cannot afford the materials needed for the blockade!

In particular, Watanabe Eemon has to block the village to achieve the result of relocating the wood...

Isn't this horse riding pure nonsense?

However, what Tokugawa Iezai and Matsushita didn't expect was that Watanabeemon had no intention of changing his mind at all. Instead, he sneered and said: "Japan has no supplies, does it mean that the Ming Dynasty does not have enough supplies?

"

When Watanabe Eemon said this, Tokugawa Ieki was dumbfounded - the materials of the Ming Dynasty are related to the Japanese country? The Japanese country is the Japanese country, and the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Japanese country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it does not mean that the Japanese country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was obliged to help Japan solve the leprosy problem.

However, just when Tokugawa Ieki secretly complained about Watanabeemon's whims, Matsushita refuted Watanabeemon unceremoniously that night: "Watanabe-kun, the Ming Dynasty is not short of supplies, but Japan is short of money.

, lack of Da Minglong Yuanbao banknotes!"

Watanabe Emon also responded unceremoniously to Matsushita: "Matsushita-kun, don't forget that although Japan lacks the Ming Dynasty's Dragon Yuan treasure notes, it does not lack gold and silver! Gold and silver can be exchanged for the Ming Dynasty's dragon coins.

Yuanbao banknotes!"

Matsushita looked at Watanabeemon like a fool that night and asked: "Watanabe-kun, how much gold and silver does Japan have? How many dragon-yuan treasure notes can be exchanged for it? Are the exchanged treasure notes enough to buy what we need?

Supplies?”

Watanabeemon sneered and said: "Of course Japan's current gold and silver cannot be exchanged for enough dragon yuan treasure banknotes, but Japan has Iwami Ginzan and Hisikari gold mines. Your Majesty the General can completely exchange Iwami Ginzan or Hisikari gold mines."

We will use the Linggao Gold Mine as collateral to borrow some Long Yuan banknotes from the Ming Dynasty, do you understand?"

After Watanabeemon's words fell, Tokugawa Ieki suddenly felt like the dark clouds had been cleared and the moon was shining brightly.

Previously, in order to seek the help of Chen Yan, the Ming Dynasty ambassador to Japan, Tokugawa Jiaqi personally promised to sell Iwami Ginzan to Ming Dynasty. It was just a promise, but how to sell it was very troublesome - he directly gave Iwami Ginzan to the Ming Dynasty.

During the Ming Dynasty, even if Tokugawa Jiaqi could replace Guangge Jianren and become the new Japanese leader, he would inevitably be accused of betraying the interests of Japan.

Now Watanabe Eemon proposed that Iwami Ginzan can be used as collateral to lend money to the Ming Dynasty. The money loaned back, the food and medicinal materials bought back will be used for all the good people and untouchables of the Japanese country. This will not only solve the problem of the Japanese country's supplies

The problem of shortage, and more importantly, it can help Tokugawa Jiaqi wash away the infamy of betraying the interests of Japan!

Selling a silver mine in exchange for a Japanese country, Tokugawa Jiaqi thought it was reliable. Dang even couldn't help but smile and said: "Yo Xi, Watanabe-kun is so smart that he can come up with such a perfect solution!

"

Watanabeemonhai sighed, paused and said: "Thank you for your compliment, General. However, Watanabe is just a little clever, which is far less than the great wisdom of General!"

After figuring out the twists and turns, Ishikawa Iin and Toudo Takayoshi looked at Mitsukaku Kijin as if they were mentally retarded.

What's this?

This is rubbish. Even if you eat shit and ride a horse, you can't keep up with the hot rubbish!

The faces of Guangge Jianren and Kuan Gong Huiren were equally gloomy.

Guangge Jianren glanced at the feudal lords in the field, glanced at the daimyo, and said with a gloomy face: "The matter has come to this, I wonder if you have any good solutions?"

However, among the feudal lords and daimyo present, no one answered Kogekijin's question.

Ishikawa Iin then continued: "I think that instead of reacting passively, it would be better... why not take the initiative to accept civilian patients from the shogunate?"

Other feudal lords and daimyo also targeted Ishikawa Iin.

On the contrary, Guangge Jianren slammed the table and shouted: "Everyone be quiet! Ishikawa-kun, do you want to continue talking?"

After thinking about it secretly, Guangge Jianren gritted his teeth and said: "I will find a way to solve the food issue. You just need to take care of the lepers."

The more Shimazu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong.

After thinking for a long time and still unable to come up with a reason, Shimazu Hisamitsu simply asked directly: "Excuse me, General, are there any requirements for these quotas?"

Tokugawa Jiaqi also felt this.

Being outside the mainstream, coupled with the fact that he wrote such absurd articles as "The Theory of Farts", Gennai Hiraga became increasingly frustrated.

The main reason for this situation is that Hiraga Gennai was born in a low-level samurai family of Takamatsu Domain.

However, the architectural drawing was not in Gennai's arms, but was exposed from the gap in his belt. Gennai later became insane and died in the cold Kodenma Town Prison.

The so-called "suffering such an unusual death" refers to the fact that Gennai Hiraga should not be punished for killing two carpenters.

Tokugawa Jiaqi, who had personally visited the Ming Dynasty, knew the importance of the steam engine very well.

It's just that Tokugawa Jiaqi also knew in his heart that the distribution of quotas for senting envoys could not be fair and just at all.

After feeling secretly in his heart, Tokugawa Ieki looked around at all the feudal lords. The daimyo glanced at them and said in a deep voice: ""

To put it bluntly, the Japanese country, which has been blown away by countless incurable people in the sky and the earth, is actually similar to the situation in Tianzhu. Tianzhu has castes, and the Japanese country also has classes.

For example, why do those ronin samurai who lost their masters remain ronin instead of finding a job?

This also means that if Tokugawa Jiaqi wants to completely complete the blockade, he must first get rid of those ronin.

Chikuzen, Chikugo, Bunzen, Bungo, Hizen, Tsushima, Hinata and other feudal lords also responded one after another, while the other feudal lords and daimyo couldn't help but frowned.

This difference in geographical location naturally resulted in uneven development among the various vassals. Some vassals were relatively wealthy, while others were poor.

The difference in wealth and poverty will be directly reflected in the number of ronin in each domain.

The poorer the feudal clan is, the more rogues there are.

More importantly, the Satsuma clan, Chikuzen, Chikugo and other feudal lords actually have a common name: Kyushu clans.

These feudal clans were originally hanging out on Kyushu Island. The Satsuma clan even sent troops to capture Ryukyu, forcing the Ryukyu king to surrender to Japan and pay tribute.

To say that they are willing, they are definitely not willing to give in. Shimazu Hisamitsu, Chikuzen, Chikugo and other feudal lords have not thought about resisting. At least they must find a good place, right?

Then Shimazu Hisamitsu and the others quickly moved to Ezo, completely giving up Kyushu Island.

More importantly, whose orders are these samurai and ashigaru going to obey?

What would the shogunate think if they were asked to obey the orders of the feudal lord and ignore the Tokugawa family? They were dragging each other back and fighting to pay off the ronin who had a nest of chickens!

If you ask them to obey Tokugawa Ieki's orders, wouldn't that be tantamount to handing over military power to others?

This was even more unacceptable to the feudal lords than directly using money to support Tokugawa Ieki!

When Tokugawa Ieki finished speaking, all the feudal lords present breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

As we all know, apart from being lustful, Tokugawa Ieki's biggest problem was his greed for money. The problem of his sons and daughters' excessive amassing money can be said to be inherited from Tokugawa Ieki.

Matsudaira Nobu suddenly became alert in his confidence.

Shimazu Hisamitsu, who was already as poor as a dog in Ezo, still sent samurai and ashigaru to help the Tokugawa family. Now he was the first to jump out and scold all the feudal lords, all for the sake of the Edo shogunate.

He behaves like a loyal dog who doesn't hesitate to shed the last drop of his blood, but Tokugawa Ieqi seems to be unhappy?

After thinking about it secretly, a bright light suddenly flashed in Matsudaira Nobunobu's head - thinking at the best, Tokugawa Ieki may really want to wipe out those samurai, and the current performance between him and Shimazu Hisamitsu is just...

He is acting just to lure the feudal lords into taking the bait.

If you think about it in the worst possible way, maybe the real purpose of the Tokugawa family is not to completely wipe out those ronin, but to come to them, the feudal lords! Once the samurai and ashigaru of the shogunate enter the territory of each feudal in large numbers, what will happen later?

It’s hard to say what happened!

Thinking of this, Matsudaira Nobunobu's face couldn't help but become ugly. He glanced at Shimazu Hisamitsu and said loudly: "The Shimazu family leader is right. Now is an important moment for us to work together to overcome the difficulties.

We can no longer look forward and backward at this time!”

As Shimadzu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu expressed their opinions one after another, the other feudal lords suddenly had no way out. Whether they wanted to understand or not, they had to follow Shimazu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu to express their opinions.

They will each send samurai and ashigaru to help the shogunate eliminate those ronin.

Just as Matsudaira Nobubu thought, the reason why Tokugawa Ieki proposed that the shogunate send samurai and ashigaru to wipe out those ronin was that on the one hand, he really wanted to wipe out those ronin, so as to avoid any accidents during the subsequent blockade.

.

But on the other hand, Tokugawa Ieqi is trying to coerce the princes to force the imperial court - if these two bastards, Mitsukage Kihito and Kanmiya Erihito, dare to send people to do mischief on Tokugawa Ieqi's territory, Tokugawa Ieqiu will

Kawajia Qi was going to kill several minor feudal lords and daimyo of the Kinki clan first, causing chaos in the territory of Mitsukoshi and his son.

As for sending ninjas or getting some leprosy patients to cause harm to the territory of Mitsuo and his son, the Tokugawa family really didn't have such an idea for the time being.

Because the current situation is obviously dominated by Tokugawa Ieqi, and the possibility of successfully ascending to the throne is very high. Tokugawa Ieqi, who has begun to dream of becoming the leader of the country, naturally does not want leprosy to start spreading around Kinki. After all, no matter how poor he is,

The spread of diseases and leprosy is there, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to escape.

It's a pity that Tokugawa Ieqi's originally good plan was ruined by two weaklings, Shimazu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu.
To be continued...
