Inari wants to live in peace

Time is running out, and it's been eight years since Tianbao.

The American merchant ship Morrison appeared off the coast of Uraga, and seven Japanese drifters protected in Macau were safely transported.

The windy flag depicts countless stars in red horizontal lines and blue squares, and when I saw the distinctive flag, I immediately realized that I was not smart.

Immediately, I decided to send a diplomat who could speak English to the American merchant vessel to find out the other party's purpose.

And since they definitely helped the Japanese drifters, instead of chasing them away quickly, they welcomed them to Uraga Port to welcome them.

Normal Uraga ports are not permitted to enter foreign ships even if I order them to do so.

Therefore, no matter how suddenly I was surprised by the visit, I was strictly ordered not to fire from here, and I kept the welcome mood even if it was just face-to-face.

I don't have an embassy because I don't have national communications or trade with the United States.

In addition, foreign facilities are concentrated on the island of Dejima in Nagasaki.

Nevertheless, it was not possible to respond to an emergency situation. After the merchant ship was docked at Uraga Port, it was taken to a luxury inn arranged by the Edo Shogun.

The first thing to do is to have a welcome dinner and let them stay overnight so that they can heal the fatigue of the great voyage.

It's a blatant time to set a course of action, but ordinary people would be delighted to have too many washclothes, unlike themselves.

Meanwhile, I hurriedly gathered the officials of the shogunate while watching Inari Taisha Shrine.

Lower your hips in a tatami mat mat cushion and observe the photographs you've hidden to get some information about the United States with a serious expression.

(Hmm, what do we do? It's not Perry.)

I also photographed the ship, but it only appears to be an unarmed merchant ship.

To put it further, it is not a convoy, but one that came alone.

It doesn't matter what happens, but I also feel that there are a few American flag stars.

An official from the Shogun asks if he thinks it may be different from the black ship he was expecting.

"How does Inari God intend to deal with this?"

"... I see."

It is unclear how powerful and vocal America is today.

But slowly you'll be doing police officers around the world.

Above all, when comparing the national territory, the difference with Japan is historical.

But it wasn't Perry who came.Then it is not the time for the founding of the country.

You may fly separately to open national communications, but to make a decision to change the foundations of the country, you need some preparation.

The same was true when we opened the Edo Shogunate, but if we don't do it properly, we will buy an unnecessary rebellion.

So I felt like I had no connection this time, so I wanted to go home peacefully somehow.

With such circumstances in mind, I gave instructions, as always, on the spot.

"We invite them to Inari Taisha Shrine.I'll talk to you directly. "

"Are you the Inari God himself!?"

I know the officials are surprised, but I didn't back off.

"Yes, I'm a little concerned.

America is a big country, and if you don't deal with it correctly, you'll be in trouble. "

If this were Perry himself, he would have borrowed his authority and position from a presidential figure.

And since I'm not comfortable with negotiation, I'm sure it won't be a difficult outcome.

But this time, we're dealing with a merchant who's not that good.

In this case, even if we meet in person, it does not suddenly develop into a fight.

My content is a trick, but my position is only that of Inari god and god emperor, so it's amazing anyway.

If you see such a presence on the clouds, even if you refuse the request, you will pull back and say that there is nothing you can do.

One day, with Perry coming, Japan will have to start a nation.

I didn't want to be disturbed by the plan now to transfer my authority to the Meiji government, as was decided in advance in Masahiro.

Well, it is possible that the incident will not happen in the first place because of what I did, but you should think about it at that time.

Anyway, my thoughts cannot be explained to the Edo Shogun.

So I blurred the occasion appropriately and closed the meeting that day.

A day passed since the Morrison docked at Uraga Port.

It was difficult to invite all the crew, so I limited myself to those with high positions among the sailors and guided them during the inspection of Inari Taisha Shrine.

Of course, language translators from both the United States and Japan were already present.

There may not be a culture of tatami mats or cushions over there, but it seems that if you enter the village, you will follow it.

There was no particular problem, and he sat honestly.

"Little Princess, I see you for the first time.My name is Captain Dard Ingasol. "

That said, as the captain sitting in the front row lowered his head deeply, the two men dressed in the pastor's clothes behind him introduced themselves in turn.

I'm Carl Guzraf, the missionary.

And I'm Samuel Williams, the missionary.

I've checked the information beforehand, so it looks like I'm not lying or lying about myself.

And I learned from them on this occasion, and I answered magnificently.

"I am Emperor Inari, the supreme ruler of Japan."

However, being the supreme ruler of Japan is not going to last much longer.As far as the recent situation in the countries surrounding Japan is concerned, the day of its founding is unlikely to be far away.

At the same time, it was clear that the time of my departure was approaching momentarily.

It is the black ship that will surely come after this that is destined, and there will be a heated debate between the two forces whether the country is a founder or a clandestine country due to domestic confusion.

For nearly 300 years now, a peaceful peace has continued, but it can be realised that it will soon be over.

Preparation is also important for me to peacefully retreat and return to normal history.

That's why I wanted to wish the Morrison people a pleasant return.

"First of all, I would like to thank you very much for helping the Japanese homeless people."

That said, they are obviously confused by my lowering of their head.

It is something that must be done in a streamlined fashion, and I don't think there is anything in particular because the contents are common people.

The problem is because I raised my head the next time.

I have received a deed from the caregiver stating the purpose of their visit to Japan and have read it in advance.

However, everything is in order, and he reads through the handed over letter again and opens his mouth after he takes a breath.

"You want to trade with Japan and get permission to preach.Is there a difference? "

"Yes, that's right."

The captain answered as his representative, and the two missionaries behind nodded.

Apparently, there is no discrepancy with the advance information and it is correct.

But that's why I'm worried.The expression is only calm, but I think about it from the bottom of my heart.

(If we conclude a trade treaty with the United States before Mr. Berry arrives, it may interfere with our steering towards the opening of the country.

I wonder what happened.)

America's black ship, led by Perry, was forced to open its doors to Japan with overwhelming force.

Even I was neglectful of history, but I knew that.This is because the coolness of the latest weapons and warships is an important point for light nerds.

But that's fine at this time anyway.

The problem is that if we start trading with the United States by entering into a trade treaty at the moment, there's no need to intimidate them by force.

In other words, the Japanese people do not have a sense of crisis, and neither the founding nor the clandestine countries are born, and the era of peace continues as before.

This eliminates the need for the Meiji government to be established, and the Edo shogunate will not end.

Besides, the world situation in the future is extremely confusing, so it is always extremely dangerous in my one-man management.The Tokugawa family should also return to the imperial court and entrust politics to the people after the departure of Emperor Ikabari.

It was because of such circumstances that I could never accept their claim.

"Unfortunately, I will decline your request."

Oh, really?

All in order to finish the Tokugawa Shogunate and return authority to the imperial court.

After that, I set up the Meiji government and ended up in peace, so I finally lived in peace, so I couldn't give up on this.

"But as I said at the outset, I am deeply grateful to you for rescuing the Japanese drifters."

That said, I looked to the nearby caretaker, and after she nodded small, she quietly went out into the hallway.

In the meantime, I will tell them why I refused earlier by blurring the original reason.

"Japan has been a clandestine country for a long time, so accepting others now is very difficult."

I've been doing Wye all along with my family, but suddenly a stranger comes in asking me to join him from outside, and I don't know him well, so I kind of feel awkward.

By analogy, it's a little bit of a thing, but it's not always a mistake.

So please give me a moment.

"Very well, I'm sure you're feeling it in Little Princess."

I don't know if the Captain really understands me, but he convinced me to back off.

I'm sure he's willing to accept the American demands, but it'll take time to convince the House of Ministers.

So wait a minute.You must have received it favourably.

It's not wrong, but the hold period is until the black ship arrives, so it's actually quite a long one.

But I'm glad I didn't get too deep.

As I exhaled in my heart, the hallway was open.

There were several nearby guards and caregivers with large gruesomeness, and they entered the room slowly while gazing.

"It's a gift from me, a gift from my heart.

I will bring it to your merchant ship later, but please check the contents first. "

That's how I stood up.

The Morrison people.This is your chance while the geckos keep an eye on you.

By the way, I didn't have the experience of giving things to others, so I left it to an official who was accustomed to such things.

"I hope that the Morrison journey will be fruitful."

The caretaker opened the door at an exquisite time, so I quietly leave the room.

But when I went out in the hallway, I exhaled a lot.

In the meantime, the policy is not to open or clandestine countries, but to withhold.

Nothing has been resolved, but what I told the Morrison is not a lie.

It is not until the ground is ready to open the foreign gates that we know what distortions will occur.

I don't remember clearly when Perry was founded by his intimidating diplomacy.

But Tokugawa-san was definitely better than his fox daughter.So I suppose we did a good job of keeping domestic chaos to a minimum.

But I can't stand being so clever without feelings.

Still, I'm still the supreme ruler of Japan, so I can't do it, and I have to do it anyway.

(I wish I could conclude a pact on equal terms and establish a Meiji government.... that would be difficult.)

I walked down the hallway exhaling, and I was tired today anyway, so I wanted to be healed by the crocodiles.

With that in mind, I went slowly toward my home in the back of the forest.
