Chapter 341 Kyoto Security

Zuocun has found a stronghold, and what he is waiting for now is for the feudal lord to enter the capital, and King Qin's party will also follow him.

Although the anti-barbarian forces were severely defeated during the Ansei Prison two years ago, the Centipede Insects are still alive. Now the Hitotsubashi faction, headed by Hitotsubashi Keiki, is still active in the shogunate as the leader of the anti-barbarian forces.

and the imperial court.

The most fundamental reason is that the passion of the lower-class warriors among the people for resisting the barbarians gave them too much help.

As for the emperor, although these samurai claimed to "respect the king and repel the barbarians", the emperor himself did not agree with their ideas and even disliked these samurai who spread the idea of ​​​​repelling the barbarians indiscriminately.

Emperor Takamei is undoubtedly a "combiner of public and military families." In recent years, the emperor, who has no real power, has been committed to integrating the public and military families in order to achieve stability.

Although foreigners are scary, the emperor knows very well that as long as Japan does not take the initiative and compromises with foreigners to a certain extent, it can delay enough development time for Japan. After all, these foreigners have never focused on

When it comes to Japan, their eyes are on other places, not this small springboard.

March.

The lord of the Tosa Domain, Yamauchido, compromised with the Kino Party and led the feudal troops to Kyoto. The Kino Party also followed the troops to Kyoto.

Samurazai had been guarding near Kyoto. After learning that everyone from the Tosa Domain had arrived, he quickly found Takeichi Mizuzan and Sakamoto Ryoma.

"How are you doing during this period?" Several people wanted to go to the base area arranged by Zuocun first.

"It's nothing. Because you killed Yoshida Toyo in advance, the resistance we encountered was not great. If Yamauchi Hall wants to support another person to fight against us, it will not be possible in a short time."

"That's good." Zuo Cun smiled, but did not ask for credit or say anything more, "Mr. Takeshi, then, I'll leave this to you."

"Don't worry, you will only be ordinary people with lofty ideals." Takeshi Ruishan patted Zuocun and Ryoma on the shoulders.

Wu Shi Ruishan is also a member of the anti-Yi faction, but he can see through the anti-Yi surface to see the inner nature of the anti-Yi faction.

Fighting against foreigners does not necessarily mean that foreigners must be expelled. Making good friends with them is also a way to fight against foreigners.

But now that the whole country is shouting to fight against the barbarians, Wu Ruishan, as a leader of a party, will not foolishly sing the opposite tune.

Anyway, his mission is just to attract attention.

"Well, I will leave after you receive the base area and supplies." Zuocun glanced at Ryoma.

"Funds for activities within the organization can be obtained from Izo." Ryoma added.

As a big dog owner, what he can do most is money.

"By the way, Mr. Takeichi, when Yamauchi-sama enters the court, I hope that Yamauchi-sama can give a word, or in other words, a reminder to His Majesty the Emperor and the Shogun."

"Say, if I can, I will try my best to help." Wu Shi Ruishan was all ears.

"This matter is quite important..." Zuo Cun's eyes were as cold as ice, "Please ask those two big shots to pay more attention to the security issues around Kyoto."

Wu Shi Ruishan only felt a little cold and nodded: "Oh, oh."

...

What Yamauchi-do brings with it is the will of the Tosa Domain and the Tosa Kinnoi Party, so naturally the word "rejecting the foreigners" cannot be escaped.

Xiaoming felt annoyed when he heard this word now.

"I understand, Lord Yamauchi, do you have anything else to do?" Emperor Komei sighed and looked at Yamauchi Hall feebly.

His health is getting worse and worse.

"Well... there's one more thing." Yamauchido hesitated for a moment, remembering what Takeshi Ruishan said to him respectfully before.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, please pay more attention to the security issues in Kyoto and surrounding areas." Yamauchi Tang lowered his head and admonished Emperor Komei.

Takaaki hesitated, shook his head and smiled: "Lord of the Yamauchi Domain, you shouldn't come to me about this matter, you should go to Tokugawa Iemo."

"...I understand." Yamauchi Dou smiled bitterly.

As a relatively traditional feudal lord, he cared more about "honoring the king" than "repelling the barbarians" which the Qinwang Party was more concerned about.

The emperor, who is of the blood of God, actually has very few rights.

Moreover, even the pitifully few rights are subject to constraints.

Someone who had the same troubles was Shimazu Hisamitsu who was far away in Satsuma.

...

After paying a visit to Emperor Komei, the Yamauchi Hall moved to the shogunate, where Tokugawa Iemo was located.

"Is there a safety issue in Kyoto and surrounding areas..." Tokugawa Iemo rubbed his head and sighed.

He is also aware of this problem, but now the shogunate is disgraced and has no prestige, and its only ruling power is slowly being digested by internal conflicts. He also wants to maintain the security of surrounding areas.

However, unlike Takaaki who had a salty mentality, Tokugawa Iemoji really wanted to do something for this country, but the constraints he faced were much greater than Takaaki's.

After marrying He Gong, he did not feel a trace of stability. Instead, the Zunwang Expelling Barbarians faction, which was suppressed by the Gongwu Combined Faction, became more violent.

Moreover, He Gong, who was already dissatisfied with the marriage, never gave Jia Mao a good look when they were together every day. Even when they were in the same room, he always had a bad look on his face.

But it seems that Kamo also likes this feeling? (

In such a political quagmire, it is really difficult to find a gap and organize people to maintain the security of Kyoto and its surrounding areas.

"I understand, thank you, Lord of the Yamauchi-do Domain." The somewhat autistic Tokugawa Iemo began to see off the guests.

After Yamauchi-dou retreated, Tokugawa Iemo touched his chin and began to think.

Even the lords of other vassals who entered Beijing believe that the security problems in the surrounding areas are very serious...

No matter what, it needs to be dealt with a little bit.

"Matsudaira, how many regular troops are currently stationed in Kyoto?"

"Sir General, if you include the soldiers of each vassal, the current number of troops is about 10,000."

"What about the ones I can directly appropriate?"

"......two thousand."

Tokugawa Iemo covered his face.

There were originally four thousand, but two thousand of them were still being trained as ace's secret army and could not be mobilized.

"Organize two hundred people, all armed with weapons, to patrol Kyoto and the surrounding areas for half a year. If you encounter bandits, arrest them all and try to survive." Tokugawa Iemo ordered, "It's time to take good care of it.

The earthquake has frightened the bandits around Kyoto. I have recently received documents indicating that several villages were looted."

"I see."

"Go as soon as possible. Also, if there are lower-level warriors who are willing to help, they can be allowed to do so, but they are not allowed to join the regular army."
