Matsuhira Nobuzu's suggestion was only mentioned to Tokugawa Ieki in private, but it was not officially announced. Tokugawa Ieki quite agrees with this, on the one hand, it was out of his trust in Matsuhira Nobuzu, and on the other hand The aspect is indeed out of a serious sense of crisis that Japan is facing now. Although the Japanese are stubborn in doing things, they still accept new affairs very quickly, let alone learning from China, which is not embarrassing.
But before it could be implemented urgently, Tokugawa Iemitsu had already died, otherwise Japan's Meiji Restoration might have happened more than 200 years ahead of schedule.
Now facing a more serious situation, Matsudai Nobuka finally formulated three measures to deal with the current situation: First, send people to negotiate with the anti-strait faction immediately, as long as it is abandoned, In the famous discussion, surrender to the shogunate, they would give them greater political privileges, and they would not have to pay tribute to the shogunate, and they would also be exempted from settled in Edo every year, etc. In this way, they would resolve tensions in Japan and ease the situation in Japan. ;Second, the second is to immediately form a mission, go to China to express your surrender to Shang Yi, and follow the example of North Korea and become a vassal state of China. The conditions for the whole body can be discussed slowly, and the previous things that helped the Qing court can be recommended When it comes to the late Tokugawa Iemitsu, although it may lose some of its sovereignty, it will also cause China to lose its force to interfere in Japan's borrowing Japan, allowing the Tokugawa shogunate to temporarily preserve it; third, learn from China comprehensively and reform Japan's Government affairs, open up the sea and enjoy the country.
However, after these three measures were proposed, the impact on the Tokugawa shogunate was of course conceivable. Even within the compromise faction, many people opposed the measures proposed by Matsuhira Nobusuo, believing that these three measures were completely a shameful country. But negotiating with the reverse recruitment faction, Yunruo's various political propositions were equivalent to changing their independence, and it was easy to trigger a chain reaction. Other major members rushed to make these requests from the shogunate. Wouldn't Japan retreat again? During the Warring States Period; and even though Japan has been learning from China for more than a thousand years, it has never truly surrendered to China. Now it not only has to surrender to China, but also to give up one. The sovereignty of the Ministry is also difficult for the Japanese to accept; in addition, the closing of the country was a national policy formulated by Tokugawa Ieyasu, which is equivalent to the rules set by the ancestors of Japan. If it is to be revised openly, it is naturally an uproar.
In fact, Nobutsu Matsuhira also knew that his three methods were indeed a bit of a shame, but the situation Japan is facing now can only give up a considerable portion of its interests. It is much better than the complete destruction of the shogunate. As long as the shogunate is saved, the shogunate is kept. The vitality can slowly recover, and there is still hope. Therefore, he tried his best to persuade other ministers to explain their interests and interests to them, saying that he can only endure humiliation and save the whole person with grievances.
Most of the ministers of the compromise faction are of high power. From a heart, they are unwilling to fight with the anti-straits, because they are all the immediate interests of Japan and are afraid of losing their immediate interests. This is related to the middle and lower-level samurai. Different, if a samurai wants to be promoted, he can only make military achievements through war. Therefore, after repeated persuasion by Matsuhira Nobutsu, many ministers have also spared their support for Matsuhira Nobutsu's three methods, and of course some have also been People insisted on disagreeing, and Matsuhira Nobutsu did not have the energy to convince them, and could only suppress them with their own power.
After the internal unification of opinions, Matsuhira Nobutsu also started a difficult negotiation with Tadao Sakai. Tadao Sakai certainly said that he did not agree with Nobutsu Matsuhira's proposal. The two sides had a talk for three days in a row, but the differences were still not eliminated. In the end, Nobutsu Matsuhira had no choice but to threaten Tadao Sakai. If he still disagreed, he would join forces with other ministers to demand the removal of Tadao Sakai's family.
Tadaokazu Sakai's face changed dramatically, because the members of the compromise faction are basically middle-level officials. If they really unite and demand their abdication, it will be difficult for them to maintain their old position. Therefore, this will be a little more relaxed and express their own It is necessary to consider it and make a decision. Matsuhira Nobutsu also felt that he could not force Tadao Sakai to be too anxious, so he agreed to give Tadao Sakai three days to consider, and at the same time decided to wait until three days later, if Tadao Sakai If he refuses to compromise, he will really join forces with other ministers to remove Tadao Sakai from his position as a family member.
The situation in Japan is in the three days of construction.
Three days later, the hardliners led by Tadao Sakai did not make any noise. In the morning, Matsuhira Nobutsu put on his clothes and wore a samurai sword. Although Matsuhira Nobutsu is almost 60 years old now, he wears it. After being neat, he still looked refreshed and did not look old.
However, Matsuhira Nobutsu also knew that today was Hiroshi who had a showdown with Tada Sakai. Yesterday, he had contacted Horita Masamoto, Miura Masaji, Oda Shizo, and Abe Shiji, several other important officials of the Shogunate. Tadaosaki Sakai was not even more compromised, so he joined forces and attacked Tadaosaki Sakai. Therefore, Nobutsu Matsuhira also felt confident. At the same time, he was thinking that after his suggestions were approved, he would start learning about China and comprehensively reformed. , Then the mission sent to China this time not only needs to surrender to China, but also carefully examine China's various political and economic systems. After Japan opened the sea, it was on the one hand to entrust China with a snake, and on the other hand, it also needed to Develop yourself and revitalize Japan.
While thinking, Matsuhira Nobuzuki had already walked out of the mansion, and his carriage and guards had already parked at the door of the mansion and waited. Matsuhira Nobuzuki was about to get on the car, but someone stopped his carriage and said, "Central." Mr., please wait a moment.”
When Matsuhira Nobutsu saw it, he frowned. It turned out that the one who called him was a young samurai named Konishi Kuroro. His age was only forty stones. He was a lower-level samurai. He was a master of Shininyin and had a very good swordsman. Among the shogunate samurai, there must be a number one, but he is a person who firmly advocates a tough stance. He once asked Matsuhira Nobutsu to give up compromise and immediately start a war against the anti-shog faction, but was Matsuhira Nobutsu resigned, but he was indeed loyal to the shogunate.
Seeing that he came to see him again, Nobuzuo Matsuhira felt bored, and waved his hand and said, "Turn him away."
Several guards rushed forward and pushed Xiaonishiya Kyuro and rushed to the side. The little Youmi Kyuro was very strong, kneeling on the ground and cried and shouting: "Master Zhong, please give up your three points. We suggest that this will only push Japan to a state of destruction. Please order that we are willing to fight to the death with China for the shogunate, the Choshu family, and the death toll with China, but we must not negotiate peace.”
Matsuhira Nobuzuna had already gotten into the car. When he heard his shout, he couldn't help but burst into anger and pointed at Konishiya Kyuro in the carriage and said, "You are just a small forty-stone samurai, and you dare to treat the country." Are you pointing fingers at the big thing? I will never spare you next time I want to meet you again." As he said that, he turned his head and said to the coachman: "Drive."
The carriage started and drove on the road. After waiting for the guards to guard both sides of the carriage, they turned a street and walked onto the main road of Edo, Suzaku Street, Matsuhira Nobuzu was sitting in the car, and the anger gradually calmed down a little. .
At this moment, I saw countless pieces of paper flying in the air. I could vaguely see that there were words written on it. Several of them fell on Matsuhira Nobusuo's carriage. Matsuhira Nobusuo picked it up. One picture, I saw two big words "Heavenly Punishment" written in cinnabar on it.
Matsuhira Nobuzu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Be careful to protect..."
Before he finished speaking, countless ronin samurai rush out from the shops on both sides of the alleys. Each of them waved his shiny samurai sword and rushed towards Matsuhira Nobuzuna's carriage, and kept shouting. : "Heavenly punished, heavenly punished."
The guards brought by Matsuhira Nobuka also drew out their samurai swords and fought fiercely with the assassins. For a moment, the sword lights and swords on the entire Suzaku Street were splattered, and blood became the Shura battlefield.
Matsuhira Nobuzuka also pulled out his sword from his sabre from the carriage. Although he had seen many storms and waves in his life, he was also very nervous at this fight. He didn't understand it in his heart. This must be Sakai. Tadaokaku's assassin was arranged by Tadaokaku and he couldn't help but feel secretly regretful. He shouldn't give Tadaokaku Sakai a chance to breathe. At the same time, he made up his mind that after he escaped this time, he would definitely be unwilling to Tadaokaku Sakai.
But the number of this group of samurai is not less than that of Matsuhira Nobuzuo's guards, and there are many masters, with their subordinates very fierce. After a fierce battle, Matsuhira Nobuzuo's guards have been injured and killed by nearly half, and several assassins have approached. Matsukai Nobusuke's car.
The guards had already retreated to Matsuhira Nobuzu's car and said, "Old Master, get off the car quickly."
Matsuhira Nobuzuki was about to get off the car, but someone rushed to the front of the car. The samurai sword in his hand danced a cold light, and continued to chop down several guards, killing all the way to Matsuhira Nobuzuki's car, which was the previous one. The Konishiya Kyuro saw him roaring violently, rise up, hold the knife in both hands, and chop off Matsuhira Nobutsu on the carriage.
When Matsuhira Nobutsu saw it, he hurriedly waved his knife to resist.
With a "dang", Matsuhira Nobutsu's tiger mouth shattered, his long sword fell to the ground, and his whole person fell into the car. Although the Japanese have been practicing swordsmanship since childhood, Matsuhira Nobutsu is not good at using swordsmanship, let alone He is nearly sixty years old, and of course he is not the opponent of the young and powerful master of Yinliu, Konishi Kuroro.
After knocking off Matsuhira Nobuzu's long sword, Konishiya Kyuro also landed on the carriage. Matsuhira Nobuzu pointed at Konishiya Kyuro and said, "You..."
After saying only these two words, Konishi Yakuro shouted sternly: "Heavenly punished." The samurai sword in his hand swung into Matsuhira Nobuzu's chest.
Matsuhira Nobuzu screamed, pointed at Konishiya Kyuro's hand and slowly lowered. The last thought in his mind was that the plan to revitalize Japan was complete with his death.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Matsuhira Nobuzuna died tragically on the street. In the next three days, the main ministers of the compromise faction, Masamoto Horita, Masaji Miura, Zisom Oda, Shizo Abe, and Shigeji Abe were either imprisoned or executed, and the hardliners quickly controlled them. The shogunate government situation.
Ten days later, the Japanese civil war broke out.
