At the end of the ceremony, the residents of Kizugawa were given one pound of millet per person, and the children were given two extra pieces of candy.

Non-cooperative elements, under the guiding concept of "eliminating all possible threats" in the base camp, will inevitably face the most severe punishment.

The No. 7 secret order of the base camp personally signed by Gonggong Wei emphatically pointed out that only by inflicting the most brutal blow on the anti-Ming elements can we ensure the law and order in the areas controlled by the imperial army, and ensure that the Japanese people can integrate into the big family of the emperor and Ming, so as to achieve the purpose of uniting the Japanese people.

What is the most brutal blow, it is not clearly stated in the secret order, this degree is left to the discretion of the ministries. The base camp is only required not to have an undue impact.

Obviously, the 4th Infantry Wing carried out and understood the secret order very well, and on the day of the capture of the Kizugawa River and in the days that followed, about 1,000 non-cooperative elements and "anti-Ming elements" were summarily executed.

As a result, the population of the Kizugawa River decreased by 10 percent, but it is undeniable that this move purified the Japanese people and the local security environment in the Kizugawa River, and greatly promoted the people's desire for the emperor.

This can be seen in the welcoming ceremony of the local residents.

Koji Yamamoto, the commander of the 4th Infantry Wing who captured the Kizu River, was greatly praised by Wei Gonggong for his outstanding organizational ability, and was awarded the honorary title of "Flower of Kyoto".

At the reception banquet of the Fourth Infantry Wing and the special maintenance meeting of the Mujinchuan Special Maintenance Association, which was composed of "heads and faces" in the locality, Gonggong Wei further pointed out: The whole army should popularize the experience of the profound friendship established by the Fourth Infantry Wing with the local Japanese residents in the Mujinchuan, and make sure that the Japanese people deeply feel the might and benevolence of the Ming Imperial Army and the deep care for the Japanese people from the Imperial Ming Court.

"The establishment of the Special Maintenance Committee is politically necessary, and the base camp encourages and supports it. The Imperial Army welcomes friends, and it is sincere to friends, everyone, let us raise a glass to the friendship and common prosperity of the Emperor and Japan! ”

At the banquet, Gonggong Wei personally raised a glass to the officials of the Mujinchuan Maintenance Association.

Father-in-law Wei, who is dressed in a kimono and casual clothes, gives people an extremely cordial and sincere impression.

"The Imperial Army has a great kindness to Japan for reconstruction, and the Emperor also has a great kindness to Japan as a mentor, and the Kizu Maintenance Association will sincerely obey the dispatch of the Imperial Army as a student and a teacher, and contribute to the Imperial Army's conquest of the Shogunate of All Evils!" Shigemasa Itakura, the chairman of the Kizu maintenance committee, led the vice president and the officials of the maintenance association to bow down to Gonggong Wei.

After learning that this chairman Itakura turned out to be the second son of Itakura Katsushige, one of the sixteen gods of the Tokugawa Ieyasu era, Gonggong Wei was pleasantly surprised, and stepped forward to help Itakura Shigemasa with a white armband, praising him for abandoning the dark and turning to the light is not only the luck of the people of Kijin, but also the luck of the Ming court and the emperor's army.

"If Japan had been a figure like Chairman Itakura, there would have been no bloodshed and the people would not have been affected by the war."

Father-in-law Wei was very emotional, especially when he learned that dozens of members of the Itakura family were in the hands of the imperial army.

The Kizu Maintenance Association was the first grassroots organization established by the Japanese people on their own initiative since the Imperial Army's conquest of Japan, and its political significance was particularly significant.

Therefore, Gonggong Wei instructed Itakura Shigemasa to draw up a first draft of the program of the maintenance association, which generally met the needs of the imperial army and was consistent with the consistent tone of the imperial army's propaganda, but there were some flaws.

Wei Gonggong personally revised it and added provisions on labor and education to the program.

The program stipulates that all men in Japan who are over 16 years old and under 50 years old, as long as they are not members of organizations serving the Imperial Army, will be designated as "laborers" and will not be evaded.

The so-called "laborers" are the adults of the emperor. All "laborers" are obliged to provide labor services for the Imperial Army and its affiliated institutions, and bear the responsibility of paying taxes.

If the "worker" is unwilling to fulfill his responsibilities and obligations, he will be regarded as a non-cooperative member.

In terms of education, Gonggong Wei focused on drafting the imperial education with "respecting the emperor and respecting God" as the core.

The father-in-law proposed that once the local maintenance council was established in the area under the actual occupation of the Imperial Army, Chinese language teaching must be introduced immediately.

"Language is the most powerful weapon to promote the spirit of Huangming! It is also a powerful tool to promote the great unity of the Chinese and Japanese peoples! It is also the cohesion that promotes the prosperity of East Asia! ”

In order to popularize Chinese language education, the father-in-law stipulates that maintenance associations at all levels must establish local school institutions, and as long as they are willing to receive Chinese language instruction in schools, they will be subsidized in terms of human and financial resources.

At the same time, after peace, all localities should hold such Chinese language popularization campaigns as "Chinese Language Gathering and Art Meeting" and "Chinese Speech Competition."

At the same time, maintenance committees at all levels should abolish the use of fake characters in the past, and use Chinese for both official documents and everyday language.

Everybody had to learn Chinese, even the monks in the temples, even the geisha and the women who betrayed their hues.

According to this program, the Chinese language was actually raised to supremacy in the areas controlled by the imperial army.

During his meeting with the "Observation Group of Japanese Confucian Scholars" led by the great Confucian scholar Lin Luoshan, Gonggong Wei solicited the opinions of the Japanese Confucian scholars on the educational part of the program.

My father-in-law proposed that strengthening Chinese language teaching in Japan is an important measure to eradicate Japan's original narrow and xenophobic thinking, and it is also a powerful weapon to break the shogunate's isolation from the country.

"The Chinese language is the foundation for the establishment of a new order in East Asia, and it can be thoroughly based on the idea of pro-shogunism and the conservative and stubborn thinking of Japan for thousands of years." Grandpa Wei said.

"I fully agree with what you said about the need for Chinese language teaching in Japan, so that in the whole of Japan, no matter where the Japanese go, they can do things by speaking only Chinese."

As a representative of the Japanese Confucian community, Lin Luoshan has a deep study of Confucianism, and in his early years, he entered Jianren Temple as a monk, and later worshiped Fujiwara Yuwo as a teacher. After that, he served Tokugawa Ieyasu, Rokumi 300 tables, and Zhihidetada was the shogun's attendant, and many diplomatic documents and laws of the shogunate were drafted by him, so he can be said to be the head of the shogunate's civilian power and the grandmaster of Japanese Confucianists.

Earlier, the contact with Lin Luoshan had always been in charge of the Dongxing Society, and later after the Dongxing Society was merged into the Chrysanthemum Agency, this task was taken over by the Chrysanthemum Agency.

Ge Sanlang, the person in charge of the chrysanthemum organ, attached great importance to Lin Luoshan and specially sent people to do his ideological work.

It's just that Lin Luoshan benefited from Tokugawa Ieyasu and was a lecturer of Tokugawa Hidetada, and his status in the shogunate was very high, so it was difficult to convince him to abandon the shogunate and turn to the emperor only because of the "integration into China" and "branch theory" that the Japanese Confucian scholars have been advocating.

For this reason, Ge Saburo boldly put forward a proposition to Lin Luoshan, that is, after the imperial army overthrew the evil shogunate, it immediately implemented the imperial examination system in Japan.
