Edo Traveler

　　 came just right!

　　Tadaemon took a famous post and asked about the address of Sakuma Koyama. Of course it was the residence of the Matsushiro clan in Edo. So he gave a servant twenty dollars, let him run, and told Sakuma Xiangshan that he could make an appointment for dinner in two days.

　　 Why is it two days later, mainly to pull the autumn sails on Takashima. As the host, find another guest to accompany him, and then ask Sakuma Xiangshan to be a good thing. Moreover, Sakuma Xiangshan is a standard "foreigners and foreigners" who is very fond of Western guns and cannons, as well as various science and technology. He should be able to talk to Takashima Qiuho.

　　 More importantly, these two are both theoretically samurai faction, so it goes without saying that Akho Takashima is a shogunate. Sakuma Xiangshan was extremely opposed to the lord’s frugal spending and cutting costs from ceremonial clothes. He believed that this was a manifestation of the feudal order and the "rituals" of elders and inferiority. Generals should look like generals. Be like a prince.

　　If you want to come, two people will become good friends...

　　 "I'm back?" Heizo just came back from Qiantang holding a change of clothes. Judging by the flush of red on his face, there is another indescribable story between Heizo and Keiko.

　　 "Is the money soup still open?" Tadaemon smelled himself, feeling that he should go to wash it.

　　 "It's on, the water is just right." Heizo deliberately avoided Tademon's eyes, took off his shoes and jumped onto the veranda.

　　嘁!

　　Who doesn’t know anything about you yet!

　　 But Chungemon would definitely not go to pierce Heizo’s garlandish intestines, so he quickly took a small cloth bag to change his clothes and rushed to Qiantang. It's not anxious, but I'm afraid that the pool will be too dirty and I will not be able to get off the feet when I am late. Of course, I also hope that there will be a new master wiping back, so that everyone will not be stopped, and there will be work on hand.

The boss and old bridesmaids in the money soup naturally already know Chuemon, and people like Chuemon who come to take a bath almost every day are easily remembered. What's more, Chuemon is a reformer and a low-ranking official. Heavy. In the future, no matter what happens in the neighborhood, you can ask Tademon Gate for help.

　　 Amidst various familiar shouts, Chuemon enters the pond. There are people squatting and eating takeaways on the benches, and there are people sitting there rubbing their feet, chatting and spanking. Don't look at these people, there are many warriors, but most of them are poor ghosts. Some samurai who came to work alone from other places lived in the Odori shop and ate bento takeaways. They lived in the same way as coolies on Nihonbashi.

　　 Some people who knew Chuemon greeted him, and they were all regular customers of Tantang. The changing room was full of all kinds of smells, and there were even people with pipes and poles in their mouths, smoking them, and the smoke was full of smoke, but everyone didn't think it was wrong.

　　 This is probably a kind of "breath of life"...

　　Tadaemon greeted a few familiar samurai, and quickly stripped off and went into the bathhouse naked. Keiko, who was sitting by the side, got up and greeted when the old benefactor Chuemon came. It caused a group of old gangsters in the pond to roar with laughter, and they all teased Keiko to look down on their group of old men, and only liked the seventeen-year-old boy like Chuemon.

　　 That's not it! How handsome we are!

　　 Keiko whitened these rough guys and didn't feel annoyed, so she asked Chuemon to sit down, help Chuemon to beat his pancreas, pour the back with water, scrub it clean, and soak in the pool.

　　 The rough guys in the pond almost whistled, and when Chuemon came in, they gave up a position. I started to chat. There is actually another reason why Chuemon tried his best to come to take a bath every day. In the bathhouse, men from all walks of life could be heard bluffing. Although many are useless gossip, there are also many useful things.

　　Because I only know a rough idea about the future history, and don't know many details at all, Chuemon hopes to collect useful information as much as possible and gradually complete the various aspects of the period at the end of the shogunate.

It’s like talking about things in Jiner Pond, even if it’s a bit useful. Two days ago, the Musashi Kawagoe clan, the feudal lord of the famous Kawagoe Castle in the history of the Warring States Period, the 25th son of the predecessor General Tokugawa Ieqi, Matsudaira Qi Province ( 1823-1841) died of illness, and he was only eighteen years old when he died.

　　As the younger brother of Shogun Tokugawa Ieki, it was naturally mourning and honoring. The shogunate not only gave a lot of funeral expenses, but also sent personnel to go to the Kawagoe clan for funerals. Anyway, it is necessary to stand up this card, after all, it is a pro-fan.

　　 There is another thing that Chuemon is very concerned about, because it does not touch the blind spot of Chuemon, but it is something that Chuemon knows very well.

　　 Loyal soul Yongwei Dongfangjun!

　　 Aizu feudal lord Matsudaira Yotsuki is old and no heir, so he has already played to Tokugawa Iekei, hoping to choose an heir to inherit the Aizu clan, the 19th largest feudal clan in the country.

　　Notice that the Aizu domain is different from other relatives~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The first lord of the Aizu domain is the illegitimate son of the second general Tokugawa Hidetada, and his real name is Masayuki Hoke. To put it bluntly, it is the Hoko clan, which is the Aizu Matsudaira clan, that is the division of the Tokugawa family. The three generations of general Tokugawa Iemitsu attached great importance to Hoko Masayuki and promoted all the way during his reign. From 30,000 shi all the way to Baokezhengzhi to 230,000 shi.

　　 Now that Matsudaira is childless, he naturally hopes that Tokugawa Jiaqing will either give him a son of his own, or help him choose a son from other relatives. Lest Matsudaira Yoshiki died, the world's famous Aizu Matsudaira clan would be severed, and the Aizu domain would be taken back.

　　 This matter has not been discussed publicly, but as long as it is a matter of entering the table, there is nothing to keep secret, isn’t it just because Chuemon has known it.

　　 If nothing else, the son of Mino Takasu domain lord Matsudaira Yoshiken will adopt the son of the famous Aizu lieutenant Yoshiho Matsudaira to Matsudaira Yoshitake.

　　 "Hou Aizu has no children in this fashion?" Tadaoemon pretended to inadvertently asked the samurai.

　　 "No, the previous generation of Aizu Hou was also childless!" The samurai said the news in hopes that the audience would come out to talk to him. Chugoemon was sleeping and giving pillows.

　　 "The Aizu domain has no children for two consecutive generations..." Chuemon sighed.

　　 After the previous generation of Aizu feudal lord Matsudaira Yoshiki severed his family heirs, he greeted Matsudaira Yoshiki from outside and returned to be heirs. Unexpectedly, Matsudaira Yoshiki was also unable to have children. He had no children for two consecutive generations, and I don’t know why.

Moreover, the severance of Matsudaira's no heirs means that the Tokugawa clan’s direct sect has been completely severed, and all this bloodline since the second-generation general Tokugawa Hidetada has completely disappeared, and a son has not been left. It is somewhat sad. .

　　 "Excuse me, may I know which male heir Aizu prefers?"
