Inari wants to live in peace

After a long time of eating, I gathered officials from the Shogun during the Inari Taisha Shrine's visit to decide how to deal with foreign ships wandering around Edo Bay with this momentum.

It is a clandestine country, but Japan possesses an overwhelming power not found in other countries.

Moreover, because it is a cooperative relationship with Australia, even if the United States is the opponent, it will prevail in the 19th century.

But once there is a war, there will be many casualties for the Japanese people.

Besides, I hated buying grudges from other countries, and I didn't want war dead from my own country as much as I could.

Therefore, I would like to avoid anything but cutting off the rudder at the start of the war.

In this case, however, it was realized that Perry's intimidating diplomacy would not change his opinion.

As it stood, the clandestine country continued, and it was certain that it would be farther away even if it withdrew.

There was such a situation, and before the summoned officials gathered, I entered the Inari Taisha Shrine as soon as possible and had a thick cushion laid on a tall tatami mat and sat down for a while.

The time was around eight o'clock at night, so Inari Taisha officials prepared a warm fox soba noodle for dinner.

Placed on the table, I politely and silently cheated and waited for the other officials.

Enjoying the delicious soba noodles for a few minutes, Tokugawa Ieyashi, the current great shogun of Goei, and officials of the Shogunate continued to enter.

So we interrupt the meal, lay down chopsticks, and speak to them.

"This meeting is expected to be quite protracted.If you still have dinner, please report it to Inari Taisha. "

Having said that, I start rinsing fox soba again with chopsticks.

It's hard to throw away the soft noodles that stretch to the junk by sucking in the juice. I basically prefer to have rice.

While looking sideways at Kakei and shogunate officials calling people from Inari Taisha Shrine to order, I finally received soba noodles that Koshi was still strengthening.

In addition to fox soba noodles, they were served in a small bowl, but they were properly adjusted to the amount I could eat out.

After leveling it all down, drink a cup of hot tea and take a drink.

And while the shogunate officials are still eating, they suddenly start the meeting in the usual relaxed atmosphere.

"Let's start the meeting, but you can eat it."

These kinds of family-only meetings are familiar to everyone because they are always held in disrespect while picking tea confectionery.

If you want to make a statement, you will put down your chopsticks for a while, and I will proceed without worrying.

"There will already be a number of proposals for black ships.

So let me also suggest one thing. "

Instead of speaking in an orderly fashion, we skip the process and suddenly get to the point.

I'm not good at getting around, and it's a waste of time explaining what I know for a long time.

In the first place, it is after eight o'clock in the evening.

Whatever the urgency, it is better to finish the meeting as soon as possible.

I want to get into the bath and sleep in the futon as soon as possible.

For those reasons, I spoke clearly without fear.

"The first thing you do is you listen to what they want, and you do it badly."

Didn't you expect this statement? The shogunate officials, including Mr. Kakei, opened their mouths.

Some people inadvertently blew tea, but Inari Taisha quickly wiped it with a cloth.

Then, the modern general Kani, who hastily swallowed the soba noodles, put down chopsticks and challenged.

"Yikes, but! Our country is overwhelmingly on the battlefield!

Still want me to hang my head! "

It is true that Japan is a small island country compared to the United States, but in terms of combat power alone, it is probably not the best in the world…, but it is reasonable to rank second after Australia.

But to be honest, it's easier than bombarding an old steamer moored off the coast of Uraga.

But then I can't achieve my purpose, so I blur around and return the answer to his objection.

"No matter how much difference in combat power is overwhelming, there will be many casualties for the Japanese people.

And even if you succeed, you will not fully accept the request. "

It was always me who pushed my brains, but I was twice as sensitive to the departure of the Emperor.

We will show our willingness to listen to the demands, take them back to our company and discuss them with our superiors. We will spend time without difficulty with practical excuses.

This will allow us to create a weak-sided shogunate without a wave, so the founding fathers will also be born.

It feels like it's going to be eight hundred years, but given the international situation in the future, it is obvious that in the one-man management policy of the Emperor, sooner or later, it will collapse.

It is still very troublesome if you overreact and even emerge as a champion, but what you are doing is professional wrestling from one to ten, so I intend to explain the background to each clan later.

I somehow wondered how Tokugawa-san of Masahiro handled this troublesome situation, but the history test was a red dot, so it was something I didn't know.

He opens his mouth after he thinks of something when I am talking while staring at such a Ieking.

"Well, now that you're weak, you'll buy us some time to take action."

After I was convinced, I felt the atmosphere of flirting with Iemitsu, who had a provocative smile.

I took the word sincerely and returned the answer clearly.

"War, with many sacrifices and losses on both sides, cannot be avoided.

Still, if the negotiations break down and you're in a fight, try to win without sacrificing as much as you can. "

Nobody wants to die.

Some of you may be willing to throw your life for God, but at least I don't like it.

What I have just said is quite reckless, but it's just like being prepared.

"Hahaha! I remember my liver!"

The men of the Edo shogunate lowered their heads and shouted aloud.

Here I take a breath and moisturize my dry throat with hojicha, Ieking, who raised his face, says again.

"But even if I had time, the next time I sailed, it wasn't just for intimidation ─ ─"

As he says, it is highly probable that Perry will increase the fleet.

If you are convinced that intimidating diplomacy is effective, the opponent will try to gain an even greater advantage.

So we should be prepared for it, but honestly, it is an excessive force even at this stage.

You don't have to stand there, but at least for the Japanese people, the Edo Shogunate must show a position that it is not weak.

(The supreme ruler of Japan really stinks.I want to leave early)

Whether I am in my head or thinking about this, the current Great General Kaisei speaks up.

"It is absolutely unacceptable that the fatherland that Inari God protects will be caught in the fire.

I still haven't received your request, but it's not easy to predict. "

Perry's obscure knowledge of history somehow understands his purpose.

A smart person like Mr. Kakei would certainly be imaginable.

But for now, let's sink the American Black Ship!I'm glad I didn't have to.

I have suddenly exposed my true feelings without having to hide them, either because everyone's opinions have been united and I am relieved.

"I don't like sending war victims from Japan.

But what I hate the most is winning the war and having to rule the vast United States.

Whatever you think about it, it's in our hands. "

With the help of Australia, we can overwhelm the United States and beyond.

But it's easy to win a war, but then the problem.

To be honest, even Japan, which maintains peace through its clandestine policies, is clearly out of place and out of hand for me.

It is obviously too impossible to rule a country with even more vast territories and multi-ethnic communities.

I will explain to those gathered here the situation in his country, which is so troublesome that mines may explode everywhere.

"I'm calm now, but when I first opened the Edo Shogunate, I didn't have much time to go home or sleep."

Instead of being able to leave the Emperor, he is forcibly pulled onto the stage to solve official, political and economic problems.

If you are asked for help with every matter, even if you try to manage it as a country, you cannot help solve the problem, and you cannot be unrelated to something you do not know.

Officials of the Tokugawa Shogunate will naturally be far from living in peace together, but new troubles will boil from one day to the next.

By communicating these circumstances, it became clear that Iemitsu and other officials were all bluishing their faces and trembling.

"Beep, it's too vivid!"

There is no future without waiting for such overwork to die.

Iemitsu, shogunate officials, and even those in each clan who are in a forced position, will fully cooperate in averting war.

Whatever it is, Japan's policy is to go out poorly and buy time.

Then listen to the other person's request, carefully review it, and then take action.So it was formally decided.

At the moment, there was no conclusion as to whether it was a founding or a clandestine country, but it was easy to imagine getting questioned after Perry was driven back.

Therefore, I really wanted to leave quickly because the official duties of the Emperor of God are all serious and inexorable and do not suit me.

Later, as negotiators, Mr. Toda Sakae and Mr. Hiromichi Ino were sent.

Mr Perry then simply handed over his handbook and demanded the opening of the country without any specific discussion.

However, they were informed of the Edo Shogun's policy in advance, so everything was arranged.

"This is a very serious case!

It is imperative that the Shogunate and the clans gather and discuss!Please wait at least the following year! "

I kept talking slowly as I was doing so poorly.

As a result, Mr. Perry took the rudder to Okinawa and the four black ships left peacefully, waiting until next year.

After that, the Russian ambassador came to ask for the opening of the country and trade, and it was in a hurry.

But he got information from the British army and returned it almost immediately, so he succeeded in buying time without any particular problems.

With my skin feeling that the world situation is rapidly changing, the day when Japan's clandestine country is coming to an end is imminent.

If you press the rubber, it looks like it will drag you down for another hundred years, but then you can't leave the Emperor.

So I'm very sorry, but it's time for me to disappear from the front stage of history.

The Meiji government was established at the same time that General Kaiji returned to the court and returned to the normal girl.

By becoming a democracy, the Emperor is completely relieved of his service.

A peaceful life, such a small dream that had not been realized for a long time, was finally approaching.

I sat on the edge of my house, buttering my feet and tail and rejoicing meaninglessly.
