Inari wants to live in peace

Episode 43 Establishment of a New Government (5) Qing Dynasty Restoration Regulations

In the Meiji Four Year, various foreign countries became noisy.

Japan alone is still singing the song of peace, but the response of diplomacy has changed momentarily.

Because government officials had to suffer, or because of God's usual trouble, I was summoned during Inari Taisha's visit.

When I arrived late in the room where everyone was already assembled, I sat down in a cushion laid on a higher tatami mat, a designated seat.

Then, instead of the usual loose atmosphere, a diplomat with a serious expression raised his hand and the greeting began to explain the situation there.

"I think you know that Kiyokuni was defeated in the opium war and the Arrow war earlier ─ ─"

In the official's explanation, I remembered the television news.

It was certainly the opium war that took place between England and Kiyokuni.And then the Arrow War was when France formed a coalition to mix me up.

It was quite rough and appropriate, but I clearly remembered that both Kiyokoku had been made full bocco.

Diplomats nod small enough to understand the situation and need no supplementary explanation

"So did Kiyokuni feel the difference between the powers of the East and the West, or did a Western faction advocate the strengthening of the national power rise?"

He immediately explains what the Westerners are when he looks at me and leans his neck.

"Western clerics are those who cultivate their minds and bodies in the academic discipline of Kiyokuni, and do not respond to affairs in the academic discipline of the West.

It is a faction that argues about such ideas. "

I know that the neighboring powers have made a lot of noise, but when was such a faction formed?

Japan is already a fox color when looking to the right or to the left, so I felt that there would be no other ideas or doctrines that would arise now.

But when it comes to Kiyokuni, Kikkake is a tragedy in itself, but a new faction has emerged in an attempt to revive the consolidated doctrine over the years.

Isn't that a good point?

Then the diplomat opens his mouth with nervousness, looking straight from here.

"Such Westerners came into secret contact a few days ago.

Its purpose is to connect Japan with Japan. "

I didn't think that was happening underwater.

It's probably because we had nothing to do with the cross-shore fires, and we weren't more interested than our trading partners.

The Australian presence, which has been associated with the honeymoon for 300 years, was too large.

I did not remember at all how the relationship between Kiyokuni and Japan was in proper history.

So there's nothing wrong with not dating your neighbors, right?And it was a young person's feeling in the 2000s, and it was a pretty dry response.

In the future of Japan, it is always troublesome to come from the continent.Because there is such an image, I don't want to be involved as much as possible.

Still, it's the same neighborhood that used to take care of you.

So I put the conclusion on hold for now and urged the officials to continue the explanation.

"Fortunately, there is no movement in Japan to eliminate foreign forces."

Indeed, it was intimidating diplomacy when Mr Perry came to open the country with the Black Ship.

But looking at the results, not only did I succumb, but also the diplomat's hard work, and he didn't give in to the threat.

Thanks to this, we have come to the conclusion of an equal treaty.

The same is true of the Russian Empire, which does not like foreign countries very much, but has relatively good relations with Australia and the United Kingdom.

Therefore, as a citizen, as long as there is no problem, it is good to stay at an appropriate distance from other countries.

That was the majority opinion.

But the government took the trouble to summon me.

It is such an important decision that the public will not be able to do anything.Alternatively, it is extremely likely to be a handling caution project.

Either way, as the former female high school student's supreme ruler in Japan, honesty is heavy.

Still, I am the Inari god (false), so if I do not hear the concerns of the Japanese people and lead them to a solution, I will lose face.

Sitting in the cushion while mourning in your heart, without changing your expression, you wait very long.

"Whether or not to conclude Nikkei repair agreement.I want to hear the judgment of Inari God. "

"Well, that's right..."

It was as expected.

But I'm not familiar with history, what kind of treaty did I have with my neighbor in the future?

I didn't remember whether I refused or not.

I will receive an explanation from the diplomat regarding the contents of the Nikkei Restoration Treaty, but it is still tentative and not final.

It seems that the opinions of both countries will be shared from here on, so it seems that some modification will be effective.

(Hmm, if so, is there anything I can do?)

I exhaled a huge sigh of trouble in my heart, but first I solemnly told him the conclusion.

"I believe that even if I sign the Nikkei repair agreement, I will not mind."

We should make it a proper and equal treaty because we are outside the scope of making concessions.But you can fill it up later.

However, the official seemed somewhat unconvinced and asked with an unfortunate look.

"Inari God, the benefits from the Nikkei Fixation Treaty are insignificant.

It is more likely that we will lose, but should we still proceed to the conclusion? "

I think with my hands around my mouth.

In other words, the official to whom the proposal was put was caught between brother-in-law and compassion.

A desperate request from a neighboring country that used to be taken care of.

Even if it was a delicate relationship in Japan after the Edo period with little profit.

It is easy to imagine that the other side is also rubbing against the straw.

But whatever it takes to win the war, push it hard.

Because of this, I may get into trouble as far as Japan by buying unwanted boyfriends from other countries.

That's why people in the Meiji government are wondering what to do.

Nothing can be done for me, but I clearly told the people who are here to lighten my troubles a little.

"I heard what you said.Kiyokuni is doomed. "

"" What is it? ""

Everyone but me was surprised.

"Oh, no, I don't think I'm going to die that bad.... maybe."

Maybe!?

It seems that the topic has suddenly changed, but this is a promise that I have to make as a light nerd.

What I have just said is not out of the question, and humankind will not perish so far, but there is no doubt that the Qing Dynasty will end.

"Anyway! Do you think Inari is coming to the end of Kiyokuni!?"

"It will be close to me.But you may feel far away from human beings. "

Historically, I don't know how many years and months I will become a new country, and I don't know how that happened.

Therefore, the area was obscured and misled.

But in the 2000s, it was no longer in Kiyokuni.

In other words, as long as Japan does not cooperate, it will perish for some reason.

But I still didn't want to go to war if my country got involved.

Even in the future, self-defense is a motto militia, and it is really hard for me to send Japanese people to the battlefield from a grandson's point of view.

I explained it in some order with that in mind.

"Even if the Nikkei Repair Treaty is signed, it will not be effective if the country is destroyed.

It should be avoided that such descriptions as the dispatch of troops and the effectiveness of the next generation ─ ─ "

At this point, the officials gathered during the visit were willing to conclude the Nippon and Qing Dynasties.

Previously, it was between brother-in-law and compassion, but now I am a serious face filled with details of Meiji government officials.

I'm relieved that this looks okay.

It will be decades before the Nippon and Qing Dynasties become effective.Until then, you should keep your relationship to a minimum.

The countries of the continent have fallen apart.Then we'll break the rules legally.

When I saw the officials laughing black-and-white while having such a conversation, I felt uneasy in a different way than in this country.
