But the "Governor of the Imperial Guard" is

For the official position in the imperial court, the monthly salary is 7,500 taels. Such a high salary can be enough to support more than 3,000 troops. This is not possible!

(The shogunate is based on rice, and the 7,500 tsu covers all the expenses for raising an army, not just food.)

Although the royal warriors had proposed setting up imperial soldiers very early on, because the matter involved military power and was too sensitive, no one had ever dared to raise it explicitly in the court.

This time it was proposed by Emperor Fuso himself. General Iemo and political president Qingyong couldn't help but change their expressions:

Agree, this is undoubtedly a recipe for disaster;

If he refuses to agree, the "Gongwu Yihe Decision" will exist in name only. If he refuses this matter again, I am afraid that the Gongwu unity will be completely out of business.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the public and military are compatible or not, just from the perspective of cooperation with the public officials.

But the problem is that since the opening of Fusang as a port, people's livelihood has been difficult. Trouble has occurred from time to time, and many princes have suffered greatly. Therefore, there has been endless voices of resistance to the barbarians. Only the combination of public and military forces can suppress these princes and the so-called robbers who resist the barbarians.

If this public-military union falls apart, rogue princes like Changzhou will soon spread all over Fusang.

If these people fire two cannons today and two tomorrow, they might really drag the shogunate into using force to resist the barbarians - as for completely turning to the foreigners, the people's livelihood of the shogunate's leaders is also not good now. In order to maintain the people's support, we must not

consider.

Seeing Jia Mao, Qing Yong was in a dilemma. Emperor Fusang laughed and ran away first, leaving Guan Bai and Er Jing Jing to hook up.

Finally, Nijo finally convinced the two of them:

He said that the minister is weak and that Fusang is in turmoil now. This concern for his own safety is a common worry for everyone.

As for the "Governor of the Forbidden City Guards", although the monthly salary is 7,500 taels, all the soldiers and horses that can be raised can be from the shogunate's division, and they can just bear the false name of the imperial court.

Of course, if the sons of ministers are willing to join the army, please ask the shogunate to make arrangements as appropriate, and the court will never force it.

But no matter what, this group of people cannot leave Kyoto to avoid a crisis like the August 18th Incident.

Let's take a two-year period. If the situation in Fuso stabilizes, then the "Forbidden Guard Governor" can be abolished. If it is still not stable, we will follow the old practice and ask the shogunate to recommend a new governor. What do you think?

Seeing that the two of them were still doubtful, Guan Bai and Erjo Qi Jing added another important condition:

"The handling of Changzhou will ultimately be subject to the opinions of the shogunate."

Choshu blatantly reneged on his agreement with the shogunate. This was Shogun Iemoji's heartache. If he could not deal with it decisively, not only would the shogunate's majesty be damaged, but other princes might also follow suit.

Therefore, these conditions combined are quite tempting.

But the matter was so important that neither Iemo nor Qingyong dared to make a promise hastily. They only said that they would go back and think about it.

Unexpectedly, Rong Bao, the guardian of Kyoto, came to our door that day:

It turned out that Qingxi promised that 70% of the 7,500 taels per month would be given to Rong Bao soldiers, and he wrote a handwritten letter to Rong Bao.

There are only three thousand troops in Aizu Kamiro. Although the shogunate has given a certain amount of food and grass to assist in military service, there is no way to provide enough. It is good to be able to give three achievements.

Therefore, Rong Bao couldn't sit still after hearing Qing Xi's promise, and hurriedly came to plead for mercy. This matter can be considered. With me watching, nothing will happen.

When Rong Bao went to Luo, it was under the instigation of the political president Qing Yong. Today when Rong Bao opened his mouth, Qing Yong really couldn't refuse.

What's more, at the end of the first public-military integration last year, when Iemo ran away, the princes of the anti-barbarian faction were ready to take action, but Aizu suppressed the local area, which shows their loyalty. At that time, Keinaga was afraid that Yongbao and Keixi would collude, so he did not give him permission until he ran away.

Rong Bao sent a letter, so Rong Bao was too late to join the escort.

When Rong Bao said this, Jia Mao and Qing Yong really put down their doubts:

Don't look at the 7,500 taels per month, but the team doesn't just have food, it also comes from here for weapons and military supplies. 70% is given to Rong Bao, so even if Qingxi subsidizes more, he can only raise a thousand soldiers.

.

In addition, the person is drawn from the shogunate team, so we can still be afraid that he will cause trouble.

Therefore, despite the remonstrances of the ministers around them, the two of them agreed to the matter.

Later, the imperial court also kept its promise. Not only did it agree to the shogunate's proposal for "Gongwu Yihe Decision," but it also issued a new edict before Qingxi took office:

"If Changzhou Maori and his son do not come to Kyoto to defend themselves within a month, they will be prosecuted in the name of the enemy."

That's why General Iemo appeared at the joyful transfer ceremony today.
