Chapter 1201 The Road That Japan Never Envisioned (1)
Two years ago, after the defeat of the Tokugawa shogunate, in order to divert the conflict, the island began to drain the situation.
In this case, Matsuhira Kama's wish to inherit the Musashi Matsuhira family as the head of the family failed, and the Tokugawa shogunate chose the descendants of the Kishu Tokugawa family to inherit the family business of Matsuhira Nobutsu.
The Matsuhei family is a branch of the Tokugawa family. Once the Tokugawa family has no one to inherit, they will welcome the adopted son from the divided Imperial Family and the Imperial Family.
When no one inherited the Matsuhira family, the Tokugawa family could also send people to inherit it.
This made Matsuhide Kama extremely angry. She had been a son for the Matsuhide family for several years, but in the end she was in vain.
And when Matsuhira Kama even unexpectedly, the territory granted to him by the Tokugawa family was also taken away.
Gao Jian was busy in Japan for several years, but in the end he was almost futile by the Tokugawa family.
This made Gao Jian extremely angry, but he was helpless in the face of the Tokugawa family, and his plan had been completely disrupted.
The Tokugawa shogunate was always on guard against those outsiders.
Although the general Tokugawa Ietsuto trusts Takaya very much, the Tokugawa relatives and the shogunate bosses were unwilling to see that a kid-in-law gained power in the shogunate.
When Matsuhira Kama returned to Japan, she was squeezed out of the core of the shogunate, while Wu Sangui and others were sent to Shikoku, not the Honshu, which was equivalent to being imprisoned in disguise.
After all, the shogunate would definitely not be able to support tens of thousands of Qing troops, and the big guys were not at ease with the Qing army.
Nurhaci was an official of the Ming Dynasty, but he betrayed the Ming Dynasty, which brought great disaster to the Ming Dynasty. Now that these Qing troops have arrived in Japan, the top leaders of the shogunate naturally remain vigilant.
Influenced by Chinese culture, Japan is familiar with China's history and knows the "Hou Jing Rebellion".
Therefore, when tens of thousands of Qing troops entered Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate did not treat them as their own people, and scattered the Qing troops, and most of them were thrown into barren lands.
Although Takaya was a meritorious to the Tokugawa shogunate and to the samurai who successfully withdrew from Japan, she was not her own.
After the defeat of the Tokugawa Shogunate, there were many conflicts in Japan. In order to divert the conflict, the shogunate deliberately provoked anti-surgery sentiment, and Tokugawa's Issues could only follow the will of the people to sacrifice Takaya's interests.
Shiguo Island has a mountainous terrain, and 80% of the territory is mountainous, with narrow plains and scattered in the lower reaches of various rivers or along the coast.
This terrain undoubtedly led to poverty in the Shikoku region, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu were unwilling to rule here directly.
Two years ago, Wu Sangui and others retreated to Japan with the troops of various vassals. Gao Jian meant to place them in the southern part of Honshu Island to facilitate Wu Sangui's rebellion, but the Tokugawa shogunate was obviously prepared for these tens of thousands of Qing troops.
Some people stayed in Changzhou, while others were transported directly to the Four Kingdoms and Kyushu for scattered resettlement.
Tens of thousands of Qing troops were dispersed, and Gao Jian was suppressed in the Tokugawa shogunate, which led to the miserable life of Wu Sangui and others in the past two years.
The defeat of the Tokugawa shogunate and the severe trade deficit with the Kan-Dang Dynasty made the finances of the Tokugawa shogunate and the following vassals to the brink of bankruptcy.
The war reparations and exhausted taxes made the Tokugawa shogunate breathless. The Qing army, which was thrown into the four countries, not only did not receive support from the shogunate, but was also forced to pay taxes to the shogunate together, and their lives were miserable.
At this time, on the sea of the Sanki vassal of Shikoku, there was a boat of Anzai, with many foot samurai from the Matsuhira family standing on it.
Takaya did not become the head of the Matsuhide family, and the shogunate's errands and territory were confiscated, so he broke off contact with the Matsuhide family. However, when he went out, he still used the banner of the Matsuhide family.
At this time, on the Anzhai boat, Wu Sangui was facing a table of wine and meat, and was eating voraciously.
The Shikoku is already poor, and the new Sangisuo is also very powerful. People like Wu Sangui are full of rice balls and pickled vegetables all year round, so they can't eat meat, and they are very short of oil and water.
At this time, facing the pork prepared by Gao Yan and the Fenjiu sent by Gan Chao, Wu Sangui drank a cup of it. He remembered his time in the Central Plains, and tears almost came out as he ate it.
"Your Highness, if I had known this, I might as well go to the forest for repentance and accept labor reform!" Wu Sangui touched his mouth after eating, and whispered his fingers, "It's so fucking hard here. I'm fine, at least I won't be hungry, my brothers below will be miserable."
Gao Jian poured him a glass of wine, "General Wu, don't worry, our chance is coming soon. Tell your brothers, Lao Geng, bear it, don't be impulsive!"
After the Qing army arrived in Japan, some people could not bear the suffering of Japan. Luo Keduo, a general who was placed on Kyushu Island, took his subordinates to launch a rebellion without communicating with Wu Sangui and others.
The rebellion swept half of Kyushu, and Rocodo once captured Nagasaki, but in the end, because of his lack of strength, he was jointly pacified by the Tokugawa family and the Shimazu family.
This not only disrupted Gao Jian's plan, but also made the shogunate surveillance of the Qing army more tightly.
Wu Sangui took a drink and said in a deep voice: "Okay, but your highness has to tell me what to do?"
Gao Jian poured himself a cup and took a sip. "Japanese politics and army are completely monopolized by the martial family and the nobles. Ordinary people want to make a name for themselves, but the only one who comes from a poor family is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but the Toyotomi family has also perished under the strangulation of those aristocratic families. Nowadays, the politics of Japan can be said to be the Shiqiu Shilu, the son of Daming, and the son of the nobles is the nobles. We outsiders have no channels to rise at all, and those aristocratic families will not give us the chance to climb up!"
The Tokugawa shogunate prevented him from being the head of the Matsuhei family and taking over his fiefdom, allowing Takaya to see clearly the political ecology of Japan. The way to usurp power by being a powerful minister may not be able to do so.
Wu Sangui said: "What does your highness mean?"
Gao Jian glanced at Wu Sangui and smiled and said, "I think General Wu already knows what I think!"
Wu Sangui smiled and Gao Yan said, "It's better to write it on paper to see if what we think is consistent?"
Wu Sangui quickly praised him for his goodness, and the two of them immediately wrote down their thoughts and put them on the table to unfold, hoping that they would become a beautiful conversation in the future.
At this time, I opened the note and Gao Yan wrote "Would you rather have a genital?"
Wu Sangui wrote, "Incite the people to rebel!"
Gao Yan was a little embarrassed. It seemed that the tacit understanding still needed to be cultivated, but although the words were different, the meaning was still similar.
Gao Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Sure enough, the heroes have the same views! Our power in Japan is still too weak. If we want to succeed, someone must support us. The martial arts and ministers will not support us outsiders. Therefore, we must mobilize the Japanese people and instill in them the idea of having a kind of thought. In the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor, it is to transform identity contradictions into class contradictions."
Wu Sangui has also read Gao Huan's books recently, studied Gao's thoughts, and fully understood Gao Yan's meaning.
For Japan, they are people who are polite. But from another perspective, they are all oppressed by the Tokugawa shogunate, the martial family and the ministers, and they are of the same class.
Wu Sangui nodded, but then said, "However, these Japanese people may have endured it. The taxes were received at 80% and no one rebelled. It would be difficult for them to revolt!"
Gao Jian drank a glass of wine, "That's all I can make them suffer a little more. I'm also doing this for their own good, helping them overturn the two mountains pressing on their heads, and giving them a chance to rise!"
Wu Sangui said: "Since that's the case, we will wait for news from Your Highness!"
Gao Jian nodded and said, "Well, you go back first, I have to go to Geng Zhongming's place!"
At that moment, Wu Sangui took Xiaoyao back, and Takaya went to meet Geng Zhongming. He did not return to Edo Castle until the Tokugawa Shogunate sent someone to find him.
