Chapter 151: The father-in-law's thoughts shine the brightest
Reluctantly, the son of the world is sick.
Figure it out, the county magistrate takes turns.
Gonggong Wei has a good impression of Shang Xian, firstly, Cai Jin said a lot of good things for this student who taught him single-handedly;
Second, Shangxian is still different from his father and ancestor, this Wang Shisun, who had gone to Beijing with the mission in the forty-first year of Wanli, had a special worship and yearning for the Ming Dynasty, and was very hostile to Japan under the influence of Cai Jin.
Based on the above two points, Wei Gonggong hoped that Shang Xian could become the representative of the Shang family, change the "pro-Japanese" thinking of the Shang family in the past few decades, and inject the blood of rebirth and rebirth into the Shang family, so as to not only help the Shang family get out of the past, but also help the people of Ryukyu County to move towards a new era.
"Young people should not always think about the past, and do not rest on their laurels, there is nothing to be proud of in the past of the Ryukyus, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for. Perhaps, you will think that you may have lost the opportunity to be the king of the Ryukyus, but you must know that what awaits you is another opportunity, if you have the ability, it is not a dream to become the governor and governor of our Ming Dynasty! ”
Father-in-law Wei is not a monk, but he also does not speak words.
This is the case, as long as Shang Xian can closely follow in his footsteps, it is not impossible to get him a French governor in the future.
Isn't that more than the little Ryukyu King with a row of noodles, liners?
Not only Shang Xian, but as long as the Shang clan shows a high degree of recognition for the Ming Dynasty, is full of respect for the imperial army, and wholeheartedly builds new good ministers, and will not be stupid enough to want to "restore" the young people, Gonggong Wei will not regard them as alien existences and cut off their progress in official career and in any way.
For example, although the Lend-Lease Act dismissed all the Ryukyu officials from the original military, government, and tax systems of the Ryukyus, as long as they passed the examination, became proficient in Chinese, used Chinese characters, and fully understood the thoughts of the Wei Gonggong, the Gonggong was also willing to give them a place in the newly established Liangchen Prefecture so that they could display their talents.
This article was not only to appease the old ruling class of the Ryukyus, but also to promote the complete coverage of the Ryukyus by the Han cultural circle, so that the Ryukyus could become the real Ming territory.
Military conquest has always been the foundation, and cultural conquest is the top.
If the governance of Liangchen County can be carried out smoothly as the father-in-law wishes, and good results are achieved, the father-in-law will really let the officials of Liangchen County rise step by step like the scholars of the Ming Imperial Examination, and become officials in Taiwan, the Special Economic Zone, and even Beijing.
A small good minister, a big emperor.
The world is very big, as long as they are subjects of the empire and friends of the imperial army, Gonggong Wei is willing to let them stand on the shoulders of giants and spread their wings high.
Who are the giants?
Who is she?
The Lend-Lease plan was an unequal treaty against the Ryukyu Kingdom, but rather a practice of Wei Gonggong's ideology in the Ryukyus.
"New Thinking on External Governance" is the brightest star shining brightest in Wei Gonggong's thoughts.
The newly established Taipei, Taichung, and Tainan Sanwei on the Taiwan side are implementing Wei Gonggong's new thinking on foreign governance.
The local government is actively promoting the work of building villages and townships, which is the embodiment of this new thinking, and the candidates for village and township heads are not only selected from among the Han people who have migrated to the past, but also a considerable number of them are appointed and dismissed from the familiar ones, and in some areas there are also "shengfan" grassroots backbones.
The elected grass-roots cadres were under the unified management of the Yamen under the command of Taiwan's pro-military commanders, and salaries and subsidies were paid on schedule, which made the rule of the imperial army in Taiwan increasingly consolidated; except for a few areas in Tainan who stubbornly hid in the mountains and stubbornly resisted the imperial army, the majority of the Taiwan people were in favor of and supported the arrival of the imperial army and the rule of the emperor.
Gonggong Wei knew that relying on the violence and cruelty of the conquerors alone, it was difficult to make the original people of the conquered land willing to pay taxes, and it was difficult to conquer them for a long time.
Therefore, it was necessary to adopt a strategy of both grace and power to rule the natives, to make the sending officials and local officials equal in the appointment of officials, and to use the method of "paying" these natives to serve the empire.
According to the different situations in different regions, the means of governance should also be varied.
Gonggong Wei emphasized that culture and military should be conquered at the same time, integration and suppression should be combined, and that governing a region should require both iron-blooded skills and flexible means.
The two are indispensable, and the "two conquests" and "two combinations" must also be closely linked, and one point must not be mentioned alone.
Salaries were a flexible means of not only stabilizing the established ruling order, but also making the officials of the conquered regions appreciate the honor and responsibility of the emperor's officials.
Guo Qizizi, commander of Taiwan's garrison division, did not understand Wei Gonggong's idea of paying salaries to grassroots personnel.
The seventh uncle and grandfather thought that as long as the villages on the island paid the things on time, and then returned some "kickbacks" to those village chiefs and township chiefs according to the share handed over, it would be enough for them to be grateful.
Isn't it good to save trouble and money?
This idea was not Guo Qizi's own thoughts, but what his subordinates told him, and it is also a common governance routine in China for thousands of years.
Of course, Gonggong Wei would not listen to Guo Qi's words, he loved and hated him, the seventh uncle and grandfather.
What I love is that if it weren't for the big bag and braggart of the seventh uncle and grandfather, his Wei family army would not have recruited thousands of hometown children at once, thus laying the foundation of today's imperial army.
What I hate is that Guo Qizi's thinking can't keep up with the times, and his mind is still the same as the old school, and his military command ability is also a mess.
If it weren't for the fact that this old boy was still pointing to stabilizing the thousands, hundreds of households, and general flags that were generated by the vote of pulling people back then, and expanding and strengthening the Taiwan Garrison Division for himself and embarking on regularization, Father-in-law Wei would have let this old boy retire early.
If you don't rush anything else, you will rush the "two nerds", and your father-in-law will have to hate it?
Gou Fugui, don't forget each other, this is right.
But King Chen slaughtered his old brother.
How good is the father-in-law's heart in such a comparison?
Back then, Widow Pan cheated on him so much, and his old man only asked the brothers to prostitute her a hundred times, but he didn't want anyone's life.
For Guo Qi's leper, his father-in-law is really benevolent and righteous, and no one can find fault with him.
Of course, in view of the fact that most of the middle- and high-ranking generals of Taiwan's garrison division came from Suning, and their political, work, and military capabilities were not good, Wei Gonggong demanded that Jiang Xifeng must send outstanding staff officers to the garrison division, so that the garrison division could have an excellent staff force.
According to Jiang Xifeng, the staff officers of the current garrison division have already played a tremendous role, for example, the "three-tier blockade tactic of rolling barrels," which is being deployed in Tainan, was proposed by a young staff officer named Shi Dayuan.
My father-in-law instructed - "Use it for young people, use it for the outstanding among young people, let them do things freely, and don't make any rules." ”
Under this spiritual instruction, the young staff officers of the Taiwan Garrison Division have become a clear stream of the division and a clear stream of great strength.
The effective implementation of the "new thinking on foreign governance" in Taiwan has consolidated Taiwan's political power, and also enabled a large number of Taiwanese people to serve in the imperial army, which not only supplemented the strength of the imperial army, but also divided the local people, making them incapable of gathering to resist.
The new thinking policy is actually based on the article "How to Effectively Implement Your Majesty's Great Policy of Opening the Sea" published by Gonggong Wei in the "Huangming Daily" in June of the 45th year of Wanli.
In this 5,000-word article, Wei Gonggong proposed for the first time that the empire should hand over the land beyond its actual control to subjects who were willing to open up to the outside world, so that they could defend the borders of the empire and actively expand it to the outside world.
Whether this subject is a nobleman, a bureaucrat, a commoner, a homeless person, or a criminal, as long as he is interested in the cause of the emperor's maritime development, anyone can get the strong support and protection of the imperial army.
Gong Wei believed that driven by sufficient economic interests, in order to obtain new territories, in order to obtain more land and financial resources, the subjects of the empire would definitely devote themselves to the maritime industry with great confidence and enthusiasm.
This will not only effectively solve the major problems of domestic land annexation and natural disasters leading to the reduction of grain production, but also promote the circulation of commodities and increase the revenue of the national treasury.
Gonggong Wei wrote that allowing foreign frontier subjects to form private armies, allowing them to build cities and fortresses, allowing them to develop farmland and mines, and giving them the greatest preferential treatment in terms of taxation would greatly improve the security of the empire's borders.
Once this policy can be comprehensively promoted, it will also greatly enhance the emperor's understanding of the outside world, and find out the virtual reality and geographical environment of the external enemy, so that he can anticipate the enemy's opportunities and control the enemy outside the country.
In addition, in the article, Father-in-law Wei also encourages intermarriage.
"For the alien races that are not subjects of the Empire, we must integrate them as much as possible, and we can use the method of intermarriage to infiltrate their people and disintegrate their people.
Of course, this kind of integration must always adhere to the self-centered and Han-oriented, otherwise, it will not be us who merge with others, but who will integrate us.
Hu Hua Han is for Han;
Sinicization of Hu,It's for Hu.。
In reality, the only people who could integrate with the local aborigines on a large scale were the imperial officers and soldiers.
The imperial officers and soldiers came from a variety of sources, except for a small number of aspiring young people who took the initiative to join the army, most of them were criminals who were captured or exiled for various reasons.
But they have one thing in common, and that is that they are all young men.
My father-in-law said to the people around him more than once that in addition to leading the imperial army to fight for the emperor all his life, he also wanted to give the imperial officers and soldiers a warm and secure home.
Under the conditions of most officers and soldiers, it is difficult for them to marry a suitable daughter-in-law in their hometown, after all, the people of Huangming still think that they are noble and martial. Unless soldiers make meritorious contributions and become officers, their living conditions and external perception will be better.
But in the new conquest, these ordinary soldiers appeared in the form of conquerors, very noble, and they were able to marry a wife.
Gonggong Wei has already issued instructions to let the imperial officers marry their wives and spread the branches of the Han nation in the new region.
"Population, and only population, is a symbol of a country's stability; Only population is a symbol of a country's prosperity and prosperity; Only population is a symbol of a country's strength; Only the population is a nation, even if the country dies, it can be guaranteed to be reborn again! ”
The secret order of "Juzi No. 2" has been signed by Gonggong Wei, and the full text of this secret order is only one sentence - "Officers at all levels must work hard to seek happiness for their subordinates." ”
After the listing ceremony of Liangchen County, Cao Wenyao, on behalf of Gonggong Wei, proposed to Cai Jin, the first magistrate of the county, that the imperial army was about to fully conquer Japan, so to prepare for war, in addition to soldiers, weapons, ammunition and logistics support were also needed.
"These require a lot of manpower and material support, and relying only on the support of the imperial army from the mainland is relatively limited, and it also requires a large price..."
Cao Wenyao demanded that Liangchen County immediately mobilize 10,000 people to participate in the imperial expedition.
