    The Japanese island is isolated on the sea, and has long developed a narrow, xenophobic, paranoid, and extreme national personality.  , the Ming army suddenly broke with tradition and invaded the islands, and the impact can be imagined.  Soon a group of young samurai targeted the Tokugawa shogunate, accusing the shogunate of being incompetent, losing power and humiliating the country. Some even proposed to respect the king and repel the barbarians, let the emperor take charge of political affairs, revitalize the Japanese country, and expel foreign invaders.  There is another group of warriors who advocate uniting all forces to expel the Ming army first and regain the lost territory.  The two factions of Japanese people were in a quarrel. Every day, warriors fought privately, and some went to the palace to have their caesareans performed, which was extremely bloody.  "The Japanese country is also good at internal fighting. It's best for these people to kill each other and let them all die." Chu Haitian said proudly.  Chen Minqing didn't see it that way. He said worriedly: "Although these two factions are making trouble, their goal is to expel our army, but they have different methods. And from my point of view, the Tokugawa shogunate is strong after all, and will soon be  He will suppress the opposition and will do his best to establish prestige. A war will break out within half a year at most." "Let's fight," Chu Haitian said nonchalantly: "I brought five thousand troops here to join forces.  The prince will continue to mobilize more than 10,000 troops, not to mention the little Japanese pirates, even the Mongolian cavalry. " Chen Minqing laughed, and Chu Haitian suddenly widened his eyes and asked.  : "Old Chen, do you not believe what I say?" "How dare you!" Chen Minqing hurriedly surrendered and said with a smile: "I naturally believe in General Chu's combat effectiveness. It can be solved by fighting alone, and the prince will not send me.  Japan is over." "Oh?" Chu Haitian rolled his eyes and asked in surprise, "What else are you planning to do?" "It's natural that peace will last forever!" Chen Minqing smiled and put out a handwritten plan.  Go up and tap lightly.  ¡°If we want to turn Kyushu Island into an island for the Han people, we have to rely on it!¡± Half a month after Chen Minqing arrived at the Japanese island.  The official operation began. First, he mobilized the army and at lightning speed, arrested all the feudal lords and upper-level samurai on Kyushu Island except Satsuma Domain and Higo Domain.  "There is nothing else to say. These people and their families will be reduced to slaves and will be sent to Taiwan Island to farm immediately.  At the same time the land and property they left behind were divided into three parts.  One-third of them were awarded to Shimazu Tadahashi, Kato Nakahiro and their samurai retainers. Such a huge reward simply made the two of them burst into tears.  They, along with all their retainers, knelt in a dark mass and swore allegiance to the Ming Dynasty and King Anton.  What made the two of them even more excited was Chen Minqing's announcement that Kagoshima and Nagasaki would be opened as commercial ports, and ships and goods from the Ming Dynasty would dock at the two places.  Although the Satsuma Domain and Higo Domain were unable to collect customs duties, the gathering of merchants and goods from the Ming Dynasty would inevitably bring strong demand.  Inn, cargo station, teahouse.  Liquor shopsjust think with your toes and you will know how much profit there is. ???????????? It¡¯s different for the Heavenly Kingdom, it¡¯s too generous.  Shimazu and Kato became more loyal and dedicated.  Manage affairs on the island for Ming Dynasty, eradicate dissidents, maintain local security, and recruit civilian husbands.  To collect taxes, they are simply the two most powerful dogs!  Of course, the two of them couldn't maintain order, so Chen Minqing took the other third.  Distributed to the remaining middle and lower-level samurai on the island.  Although the Japanese believe in Bushido, they can't help but be shy and enthusiastic in the face of real interests.  The former masters have been driven to Taiwan to open up wasteland, what else can they do?  Will you take up arms and fight against Ming Dynasty?  What's the difference between that and seeking death?  What's more, the Ming Dynasty was so generous, giving them fields and grain, and they changed from small landowners to medium landowners. What else could they be dissatisfied about?  This group of people was also calmed down, and the Japanese on the island quickly became honest.  When things got to this point, Chen Minqing was finally relieved.  He has already studied it. The people of the Japanese island are deeply servile. Since ancient times, one group of lords has defeated another group of lords, and few people have risen up to make trouble. This is incomparable with the frequent and magnificent peasant uprisings in China.  If you appease the samurai class, everything will be easier to handle.  ??Then there will be vigorous efforts to resettle refugees from the country, and the last one-third of the land will be prepared for immigrants.  After detailed research, Chen Minqing selected the best fertile land with an important geographical location, recruited Japanese nationals, and built a castle.  Referring to the experience of building castles in Liaodong, each castle varies in size and can accommodate up to three to five thousand people, and some can accommodate as few as two to three hundred.  However, every castle has a three-foot-high wall, with a moat and antlers outside. Artillery is placed on the city, and militiamen are constantly patrolling.? Simply put, these castles are the nails driven into everywhere.  With the existence of these castles, the Japanese could not stay together. Once there was any movement, they would be detected.  A small rebellion can be dealt with by the soldiers of the castle. A large rebellion can be held for a few days, and reinforcements will arrive soon.  Zhang Haichuan is not capable of such a detailed project, only civil servants can do it.  Three months after Chen Minqing arrived in the Japanese country, he straightened everything out, wrote a report of more than 100,000 words on how to control the Japanese, and gave it to Zhang Ke.  "Hahaha, I have a good vision. This Chen Minqing is really a talent." But Yu Weiliang, who had just sent Shanhaiguan over, took a look at it and sneered: "Your Majesty, Chen Minqing is too good to the Japanese pirates. Don't kill them.  Buza was sent to Taiwan to farm, and a large amount of land was given to Shimazu Tadahashi and his gang. I really can¡¯t understand it. If it were me, it would be a massacre and the Japanese pirates would be killed. Isn¡¯t it us on the island?  It's so troublesome!" "So I don't dare to let you go to Japan." Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Japan has a population of several million, and killing alone cannot solve the problem.  This is to draw firewood from the cauldron and boil frogs in warm water. Overseas farming is done step by step. One-third of the fields are enough to house 500,000 people. On the other hand, the island of Taiwan has just been developed, and there is miasma in the mountains, and there are many insects and snakes, and the people are rash.  If the land is not adapted to the situation, people will die. Let the Japanese pirates develop in the front and we take advantage of the situation in the back. When all the Japanese pirates die, the fields will naturally belong to us. This move is deeply loved by me, deeply loved by me!  Wei Liang blinked his eyes. He really didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns. Killing people was not enough, but also drained people completely. He kicked them away. Really, really After thinking for a long time, he choked out a sentence.  He said: "It's so dark!" "It's just so so." Zhang Ke said with a proud smile: "It would be good to seize Kyushu Island from the Japanese. After all, the Japanese islands are not rich. The next step is to go south. Brother Yu, I  I want you to lead the army. Do you want to expand the territory and make contributions to the country? " "I've thought about it for a long time!" Yu Weiliang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "I've been worried since Jiannu was destroyed.  , If there is no war in the future, it will be a waste of life. When no one is around, it is better to wait for the wild boar skin to suddenly come to life and continue fighting than to sit idle!  I want to fight, there are plenty of wars in this life. " Just as Zhang Ke was sharpening his sword, an appointment he had been looking forward to did not come.  The use of troops overseas is completely different from that at home. From the Japanese islands, to the Ryukyus, to Taiwan and Nanyang, the long maritime territory is no longer a decisive battle between large armies, but scattered into countless battlefields, both land and sea, which is very cumbersome.  Therefore, Zhang Ke proposed that the imperial court should set up a governor, who would be able to preside over the overall situation at sea and assign coastal provinces to provide supplies and personnel to respond.  It was originally a sure thing, but it was blocked by the cabinet. The reason was very simple. The candidate proposed by Zhang Ke was Liaodong Economic Strategy Cui Chengxiu.  "You're just kidding, how can you use the remnants of the eunuch party!"  The recent cabinet ministers refused to draft the votes, and also instigated their subordinates to impeach Zhang Ke for shielding the eunuchs and disobeying the imperial edict, and wanted Zhang Ke to return to Beijing for trial.  The news reached Tianjin. Cui Chengxiu, who had just arrived, looked aggrieved and said to Zhang Ke: "Your Majesty, I wanted to help you solve the problem for your Majesty, but the court officials didn't allow it. I can't do this as the governor Wuwuwu  " "Old Cui, don't pretend to be this king, I tell you, this governor must be you." Of course Zhang Ke knows Cui Chengxiu's character, but he is obedient, his official position is high enough, and he is familiar with the Ming Dynasty officialdom.  He has served as Minister of the Ministry of War, is good at organization and coordination, and has sufficient ability and structure.  Among Zhang Ke¡¯s subordinates, except Cui Chengxiu, no one is suitable.  In fact, Cui Chengxiu also deliberately tried to test. When he saw Zhang Ke sincerely supporting him, he suddenly became happy, but he was worried and said: "Your Majesty, if the court does not agree, I will not be able to mobilize the food, salary, and soldiers in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong. I want to compete with the Dutch."  It is extremely difficult for the red-haired barbarians to compete!" (To be continued)
