In Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's view, Shibukawa Manyori was not suitable for a strong and stubborn army, which can be seen from the fact that he easily gave up Kyushu when he served as a Kyushu probe, preferring to venture into the turbulent Bungo waterway than to face the surging Ming army.

However, after this setback, Shibukawa Mitsuyori was discovered by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu on another aspect of his talent, that is, his ability to advise the main family as a strategist; And Shibukawa Mitsuyori lost Kyushu, which can be said to be a crime that cannot be punished, Yoshimitsu feels that as long as he protects him, he will not have two hearts, of course, the necessary care is still needed.

......

At the same time as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was consolidating the army, the Japanese army was also being integrated.

According to the Zhao order of Emperor Zhu Yunwen, the Haidong Xingdu Division was established, which governed all of the Japanese State, with Chu Zhi as the commander and Lu Changsheng as the supervising envoy, Shao Yun as the commander of the Sixth Guards Army as the chief of staff of the Expeditionary Japanese Army, and Mei Xintian, the chief of staff of the Sixth Army, as the commander of the army.

However, at present, the Japanese army only controls Chikushi Island (Kyushu Island) and Iyo Island (Shikoku Island), so they can only set up thirteen guards first, and the basic territory is similar to that of the Japanese feudal state, and Chu Zhi and Lu Changsheng have only made minor adjustments.

Among the thirteen guards, there were two Japanese generals, namely Satsuma Wei Shi Shao Zhen Lai and Hyuga Wei Shi Li Congshan; There were two North Korean generals, namely Heo Bao of Hizen Guard and Kim Nam-hyon of Tosawei; The rest of the nine guards are all Han generals.

According to the usual practice, the Thirteen Guards also set up a tuntian envoy to concurrently serve as a supervision envoy.

The establishment of the guard house is actually a very cruel process. The establishment of health centers is generally divided into two kinds, one is for foreign military households, and the other is for encircled people for the army.

The former is often found when the territory is expanded, such as the Northern Expedition of Emperor Hongwu, the Northern Expedition army will gradually be broken into pieces, distributed to various places to take root, and become a member of the local guard. This situation is better, because there is too much unclaimed wasteland in the local area, and there is enough to set up a guard post, which is a very good choice for both the resumption of production and the soldiers themselves.

However, there is another situation, that is, there is no wasteland in the place where the guard post is set up, but if the guard post must be set up for some reason, then the local people need to be deprived of their land, and the people lose their land and become displaced people, which can be described as extremely miserable.

As for encircling the people for the army, there are more disadvantages, first of all, the civilian households are not so easy and pleasant; Secondly, the amount of land owned by the private households is much lower than that of the military households, so in order to reach the size of the guard, the land of the nearby people will also be deprived, and they will also lose their land and become displaced people.

Whatever the reason, the displacement caused by the garrison is the greatest threat to social stability.

Therefore, after the unification of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu was very cautious about the establishment of new guards.

After Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, the situation was different, the number of newly established health centers in Suiyuan, Northeast China, and North Korea has exceeded 50, but there are no problems on the whole, because even if the land is lost, there is still enough land in other places, so as long as the migration is done, such as the newly opened up health centers in the northeast, there are many people who have migrated from Korea.

The establishment of the guard office of the Haidong Xingdu Division was actually a rather cruel process.

Some of the soldiers in the guard station came from Fujian and Zhejiang, where there were many mountains and few places, and there were many displaced people, so Zhu Yunwen consciously moved some of them away to alleviate social contradictions; In addition, some of the soldiers came from the Jurchens in Liaodong, the Mongols who surrendered, and even some Koreans, and the number of Japanese was relatively small, only more than 10,000.

However, in the Battle of Kyushu, there were as many as 30,000 Japanese troops who surrendered; In the Battle of Shikoku, there were more than 8,000 Japanese troops who surrendered, and the total number was almost 40,000.

For these people, Sheng Yong had a headache, it was impossible to kill them all, but it was not appropriate to let them all go, so they were all handed over to Yang Rong, the supervising envoy, and Qu Tao was sent by Qu Neng to take charge of the management of the prisoner camp, and at the same time as Yang Rong's deputy.

Qu Tao was very unhappy to accept this task, and went to find his father Qu Neng, but was taught a lesson by his father, so he had to accept the task unhappily.

And Yang Rong was very happy about this errand, because he had considered this situation for a long time, thought of a variety of countermeasures, and just tried to see if it was feasible!

First, Yang Rong divided them into thirteen parts according to their regions, convened a grievance conference, and called on the common people to complain about the atrocities of the samurai and nobles, and in this way Yang Rong intended to dismantle the inherent class system of the Wa Kingdom.

This process is relatively slow, ordinary people were initially more timid, they did not believe that the Ming army could really uphold justice, and they were also worried about the revenge of the nobles, so Yang Rong quickly introduced the secret system, those who can write can write anonymous letters, and those who can't write can privately appeal to the Ming army, this is like opening a Pandora's box, the prisoner camp is rampant, the nobles and warriors are all in danger, and people are constantly being pulled out and beheaded, among which there are not a few who die unjustly, because the Ming army who holds the power of life and death has a strong tendency, As long as the commoners can find testimony and speak reasonably, basically the nobles and samurai will die.

Some nobles and warriors gathered and planned to resist, but they were quickly cracked, because Yang Rong also stipulated that if you make meritorious service, you can avoid death!

The few that succeeded in connecting were also quickly suppressed by the Ming army, and the anger in Qu Tao's heart could not be vented, so as long as he was caught, they were all buried alive.

Gradually, the nobles and samurai fell into despair.

The grievances and revenge lasted for a month, and more than 3,000 nobles, warriors, and bullies were executed. On that day, some people regretted it, but some nobles and samurai were extremely happy.

Then, Yang Rong held a competition in the ring, he threw out a thousand small flags, two hundred flags, one hundred households, ten thousand households, regardless of the high and low, the winner wins, this time set off a big wave in the entire prisoner camp, the commoners could not believe it, there were many discussions, the nobles, the samurai looked at each other, and then fell silent.

In order to avoid confusion, Yang Rong first conducted a primary selection for the Japanese people, all of which were subjects prescribed by the Guards, such as weightlifting, weight-bearing running, push-ups, long jump, etc., the nutrition and height of the Japanese people were generally not as good as the Ming people, so the elimination rate was very high, and in the end more than 10,000 people were barely left, and these people were qualified to compete for military positions.

What is surprising is that many nobles and warriors have been eliminated, and Yang Rong only smiled slightly at this situation.

In the end, for the sake of fairness, Yang Rong made strict regulations on the ring competition, the small flag competition can only use wooden sticks, the general flag competition can only use simple knives and spears, and the competition of hundreds and thousands of households can choose their own weapons, such as various strange weapons such as swords.

Moreover, Yang Rong also stipulated that no matter who it is, it must be played at a level, and it is forbidden to cut in line.

This caused strong dissatisfaction among some samurai and nobles, but Yang Rong insisted, and they had no choice.

Qu Tao was a little worried about Yang Rong's arrangement, he felt that if all the Japanese people were unwilling to compete, what should he do?

Regarding this, Yang Rong just smiled and said: "Impossible, as long as it is a person, there is nothing to fight for when you see interests." ”

Sure enough, after the initial twisting and pinching, the Japanese people soon went crazy.

Among them, the competition for small flags is the most fierce, using wooden sticks as weapons, the advantages of nobles and samurai are greatly offset, and although the physical fitness of nobles and samurai is better, their self-motivation and hard-working degree are poorer, so there are not a few nobles and samurai who fail.

When they began to use weapons, the disadvantages of civilians were reflected, not that they were not capable enough, but that their psychological quality was not good, after all, they had no experience in killing, while nobles and samurai were experienced, and they often took advantage of the night to go to remote roads at night to behead pedestrians to practice courage, and generally had to be beheaded ten times to be qualified.

By the time of the hundred households, the nobles had basically disappeared, and only the samurai and commoners remained.

At this time, the samurai played to their advantage, and the long knives flew up, blood splattered, killing people like hemp, and civilians fell under their swords. Of course, the samurai were also a last resort, human physical strength was limited, and if they did not deter the challengers, they would be consumed sooner or later.

In the end, there were only more than forty samurai in the hundred-hundred-hundred-household quota, because there were some strong people among the commoners, but for various reasons, there was no chance to become a samurai.

The ring competition lasted for a total of five days, and it achieved the effect that Yang Rong wanted, but there were a lot of casualties, more than 1,300 people were injured, and more than 200 people died.

After screening, Yang Rong sent more than 600 people to fill the vacancy.

.....

These selected elites were dispersed to various guard posts, and the remaining captives and their families were relocated to Korea, Taiwan, and Hainan Island in batches to serve as military households and participate in the local tuntian.

At the same time, Haidong Xingdu Division began to set up thirteen guards, most of the Japanese people on the corresponding land of the guards were moved, and a small number of elite and strong people were incorporated into the guards to serve the Ming Dynasty.

And for these Japanese people who lost their land, Yang Rong gave them two choices, they could go to North Korea, and they could have all the travel and resettlement fees, and at the same time, they could also get land to cultivate; Of course, they can also go to the state, but they have to bear the risk.

In the end, most of the Japanese people of Tsukushi Island chose to go to Korea, and a small number of people helped the old and the young to go to Shimonoseki, and then crossed the Shimonoseki Strait and came to Honshu; Most of the Japanese people on Iyo Island chose to go to Honshu and threw themselves into the arms of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and a small number of them went to Korea and Tohoku by boat.

After brutal integration, the security situation on Chikushi Island and Iyo Island has greatly improved, and the bandits and grass bandits have gradually lost their living space, and the scope of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's espionage activities has also been severely limited, and its role is getting smaller and smaller.

Time flies, and it has entered July of the ninth year of Jianwen, Sheng Yong is still standing still, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is still integrating and waiting.
