After some understanding, it turned out that this Murakami-sama was the sect of the Mamiya Rin sect's teacher Shimojo Yoshinosuke, and he is still his current boss.

The Shimojo family is a branch of the famous "Shinano Giant" Murakami Yoshikiyo. They took refuge when Tokugawa Ieyasu took over Shinano, and accompanied him to transfer to Kanto. The family line is not visible, and now it is

He can only survive as a "servant", but the Murakami family still has some vitality.

Not to mention the Murakami clan, the banner head of the shogunate, the Yonezawa clan of the Uesugi clan that I just mentioned also has a branch of the Murakami clan. It is unclear whether it is doing well or not.

If we go a little further, the Mori Domain of Kyushu Island's Bungo Kingdom is still a member of the Mishima Murakami clan. With a daimyo of more than 10,000 koku, at least it can be regarded as a continuation of the daimyo's status.

"Without respect, I will be appointed as the patrol judge of Dongnae Prefecture, Sangdo, Korea during the National Day of Youming Dynasty. Hong Jinglai! I am the reporter of this communication mission."

"Every word of what you taught me is precious. Although I dare not forget every word, please accept my worship again."

This time Hong Jinglai did not accept his courtesy, but stepped out of the way and went to help him personally. It was not because Murakami Shima no Prime Minister was an important official like the shogunate's imperial commissioner, but because of his performance.

Temperament is indeed revealed from the inside out. This man Hong Jinglai looks upright. Although the two people's positions can be said to be completely different, loyal ministers are always admirable. This dear friend is dedicated to his own affairs.

The Lord, the Shogun, is humble and loyal to his ministers, so he deserves to be honored.

"The current situation is difficult, with natural and man-made disasters, internal worries getting worse, and external dangers emerging again. We are in the midst of great changes that have not been seen in three thousand years!"

"A major change that has not happened in three thousand years?" This was probably the first time Murakami Shima no Cheng heard this term, but he was still deeply touched.

As a minister who was worried about the current situation of the shogunate and tried to remedy the increasingly bad situation, such a very directional word easily allowed him to automatically bring it into the situation of their country.

The most tense time in the past was when the Mongols invaded Kyushu. But at that time, the central authority of the Kamakura shogunate was still high and they could mobilize people and financial resources. Secondly, the enemies who invaded were enemies from the known world, which was not unreasonable.

Thousands of miles away, the unknown and powerful foreign barbarians came leaping over the whale waves.

"The changes in the world are nothing more than the Ding Dynasty Revolution. But the current situation is completely different from the Ding Revolution story! In the distance, there are Manchu barbarians usurping the two, and the world will perish. Nearby, there are foreign barbarians who want to destroy the Xia!"

"Destroy the world?"

"Hankyu (Mamiya Rumune) was born in Mito, so he should know the Confucianism passed down by Mr. Zhu Shunshui, a great scholar from Zhejiang, right?"

"Of course I know this!"

"The Tartars marched south, and the fiercest resistance was in Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, east of the Yangtze River. They defended the city for several years. According to the "History of the Yuan Dynasty", thirty-one generals and heroes could not even attack the city. When the city was broken, there were more than 100,000 people in the city.

All soldiers and civilians were slaughtered, except for seven households.

The Manchu barbarians marched south, and the fiercest resistance came from Jiangyin County, Changzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili. On the 80th, they led allegiance and defeated three Manchu barbarian kings and 18 generals, killing more than 100,000 thieves. After the city was broken, the whole city died, and no one was killed.

One must survive.

What are they guarding?

It’s China!”

"When a dynasty changes, only a family and a family will be destroyed. But if the barbarians usurp it, it will not only be the destruction of the country, but also the annihilation of the species!"

"The country of Lucia is so cunning and cruel that it wants to destroy our country?" The two people in front of them were shocked.

"If you don't want to subjugate your country and exterminate your species, why are you here, the barbarians? Are you here to make good friends and celebrate the peace of all nations? If you don't want to inspire people, build military equipment internally, and defend against aggression externally, how long can your country's shogunate survive?"

"The country will be destroyed and the species will be destroyed... The country will be destroyed and the species will be destroyed..." Murakami Shima's face suddenly changed.

………………

"Will the subjugation of the country and the annihilation of the species that your Excellency said really happen?" Mamiya Tonzong put the irritated Murakami Shima no Cheng on the sedan chair and stood there watching Hong Jinglai.

"You think I'm alarmist?"

"It shouldn't be...but..."

"I have already explained the truth to you. You are a smart person. I cannot influence your thoughts. You have your own knowledge and you should also make your own judgment!"

Mamiya Tonzon was silent. This warrior who had personally experienced the invasion of Tsarist Russia's navy knew clearly that what Hong Jinglai said was true, but he still couldn't believe it. A tangled look appeared on his face. Sometimes he was solemn, sometimes bitter, and he couldn't let it go for a long time.

go.

He had also come into contact with Lan Xue. As an official of the shogunate, he knew to some extent that the European powers had embarked on the road of colonial expansion. Today they captured Malacca and tomorrow they captured Kamchatka.

To the east, west, north and south, there is no place without a sea in Japan. Compared with North Korea, it is a piece of cake. It has a good natural harbor, abundant minerals, rich fisheries, and immeasurable forestry resources. None of which is not what the great powers want.

Want? Which one thing is not expected by the great powers?

"Although I had some experience at first, after listening to what you said today, it seems that the crisis is right in front of you, which is unbelievable."

What a joke! Hong Jinglai just looked at Tokugawa Ieki in Yuan Dynasty. In his lifetime, he will directly face the American Perry fleet, and the foreign ships and cannons will sail directly into Edo Bay. And this shogun who once also wanted to inspire the shogunate,

He passed away at the moment when he was in trouble both internally and externally, and at the moment when many people were approaching him.

Is it far? Very far, there are still forty-nine years to go!

Is it close? Very close, just the next general!

After the Black Ship Incident completely tore through the shogunate's whitewashed authority, the death knell of the shogunate also sounded.

No matter how hard others try to pull this thing, it will be useless. The shogunate has no way to save itself, and others have nowhere to do it even if they really want to.

The final result can be described by Sakamoto Ryoma's life. I started by being a big troll. Anyway, I didn't like the shogunate, so I just complained. As a result, the shogunate became more and more bastards, so I read again and succeeded.

Evolved into angry young men, let's take to the streets.

The street movement didn't work, and it became clear that it didn't work, so I became a Ge Ming practitioner. I got in touch with more like-minded friends, stood out, and eventually became a Ge Ming mentor.

The evolution of Sakamoto Ryoma is the best portrayal of the continuous decline of the shogunate!

"I'm going to say something more. Isn't Inaba Mamoru some strong-willed and outspoken minister who dares to rebuke?" Hong Jinglai suddenly thought of some of the traditional skills of samurai these days and was a little worried.

"Murakami is not considered a righteous minister, and he usually manages affairs quite tactfully." Mamiya Tonzong seemed to have thought of something, frowned, and recalled his usual work experience.

"As long as you don't speak out and forcefully remonstrate."

Who knows if Murakami Shima no Cheng would run outside the Sakurada Gate, wear white clothes, and kill himself with a knife, just to stimulate the shogunate to launch reforms.
