On October 20, in the main hall of the Tianjin County Palace, hundreds of officials in Tianjin wore official uniforms and were deliberating.

Today's Tianjin County King Council is very similar to the Ming Dynasty. Hundreds of officials held talismans to play affairs and issued advice. Li Zhiduan sat on the throne and handled affairs. There is also a tribute to the county king's mansion similar to the officials of Honglu Temple, which is responsible for the order of the council.

Except for the smaller size of the council, the other functions are similar to those of the court meeting in Beijing.

In fact, the actual power of the officials under Li Zhi has even surpassed that of the Son of Heaven. Li Zhi ruled one town and nine provinces, and had turned the East China Sea into his own inland sea, with a population of more than 60 million. And the only things that the Son of Heaven can control are Beizhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi and northern Huguang, and his influence is probably not as good as Li Zhi.

Therefore, Li Zhi's council, which is actually another court other than the imperial court, is equally solemn.

Now that Li Zhi manages more and more territories, it is impossible to do everything himself. In order to help him share his official duties, Li Zhi established the Six Ministries, also known as the Yamen of the Six Ministries of the King of Tianjin. The six ministries are the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, and the Organization Department. However, the prefect of the six ministries is not called Shangshu, but is called minister.

The Sixth Ministry has a certain amount of authority to administer the provinces and armies of the Tianjin system. Overall, however, as a rising regime, the power of local officials and expatriate generals under Lee Sik is still very high. The officials of the six ministries have relatively little power, and only have the power to record, advise, and advise.

For example, the Ministry of Defense does not have military command at the moment. He only has auxiliary powers such as keeping account books, appointing staff officers, drawing maps, and handling correspondence. The command and logistical power of the dispatched troops are in the hands of the dispatched generals, while the power of promotion and transfer of officers is in the hands of Li Zhi and the dispatched generals.

Therefore, most of the officials of the six ministries are also junior officials, unlike local officials who serve as meritorious veterans. For example, the Ministry of National Defense took refuge with Li Zhi late and did not have a high prestige in the army as the minister to deal with all kinds of documents.

At the beginning of today's meeting, Hong Chengchou gave up his hand: "Zhennan Bo Li Laosi has a play!" ”

Li Zhi said: "Read! ”

Hong Chengchou took out Li Laosi's recital and read: "Chenzhen Nanbo Li Laosi was ordered by the king to conquer Vietnam, and it has been two months and seven days since the army was sent. Fortunately, he did not fail in his mission and entered the city of Hue in Vietnam on the seventh day of November and occupied the entire territory of Vietnam. ”

Hearing Hong Chengchou's recitation, the hundred officials in the hall were very happy. The officials looked at each other for a while, and secretly said that the power of the prince had expanded again.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Good! ”

Hong Chengchou continued: "The minister thinks that the weapons of the countries of the Indochina Peninsula are backward, and the soldiers are not good at fighting. Li Laosi was confident that he could occupy all the cities within half a year and destroy the four countries of Lancang, Cambodia, Siam and Burma. ”

Li Zhi nodded.

Obviously, Li Laosi's attack was very smooth.

"Ranchen looked at the Indochina Peninsula all the way, and only felt that the mountains and rivers here were deep and the rainforests were everywhere, and it was very barren. A handful of cities and plains, which can be easily controlled by the Tiger Army. But the land deep in the mountains is a nest of local indigenous guerrilla resistance, where rifles and cannons cannot be used. ”

"If the Tiger Ben Army goes deep into the mountains to engage in white-knuckle fighting, I am afraid that there will be large casualties. Therefore, the minister and the samurai army general Sanada Nobuyuki jointly advised the king to recruit another 100,000 ronin samurai from Japan and transfer them to the mountains of the Indochina Peninsula as grassroots managers. ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand samurai, each with their own armor and katana, can suppress fifty natives. The samurai levied the land from the natives, and every month the samurai used a small amount of grain for their own use, and the rest was handed over to the king. If the natives rebelled, samurai were organized into the mountains to suppress it. The samurai were excellent in swords and martial arts, which was enough to deal with the natives of the Southern Barbarians. There were casualties, and they were not casualties of the soldiers of the Tiger Army, so that the king would not be heartbroken. ”

After listening to Li Laosi's advice, the hundred officials in the hall were silent.

This was a blockbuster move that changed the political structure of Indochina at once.

Li Zhi pondered for a while and asked, "What do you think of Zhen Nanbo's advice?" ”

The officials looked at each other for a while, and finally Minister of Finance Xie Liangyou stood up and said, "The minister thinks that this method is feasible!" ”

"How is it possible?"

"I don't think it's much of a waste to hire a Japanese ronin samurai. Each ronin warrior was given one and a half stone of rice per month, and no more than eighteen stone a year, which was enough to satisfy him. And each samurai suppressed fifty natives, and each natives cultivated five acres of rice fields, and twenty percent of the harvest was handed over to the king, and each samurai could harvest more than 200 koku a year. ”

"If it weren't for these warriors who went deep into the mountains, the fields in these small villages in the rainforest and mountains might not have been harvested at all. We exchanged 18 stone for 200 stone of land, which is very cost-effective. ”

Hearing Xie Liangyou's calculations, the officials all agreed very much.

Cai Huaishui, Minister of Industry, arched his hand and said: "The minister thinks that Minister Xie's words are reasonable!" ”

Many officials seconded the proposal, saying: "Your Majesty, this law can allow us to completely control the Indochina Peninsula, and the ministers think it is feasible!" ”

"This method is financially beneficial, and it can greatly reduce the risk of rebellion by the Japanese ronin samurai."

When the officials were seconding the proposal, Cui Changwu, the head of the discipline inspection team, came out and said: "Your Highness, the ministers have different opinions!" ”

Baiguan looked at Li Zhi's brother-in-law, Cui Changwu.

Li Zhi said: "Chief Cui can speak! ”

Executive Cui arched his hand and said: "The minister thinks that the capture of the Indochina Peninsula by our army is to open up another colony for our Han nation. If all of them are handed over to the management of the Japanese ronin, then our Han nation will have one less piece of land with a living population. ”

"The land in the mountains and rainforests is certainly difficult to penetrate, and it can be handed over to the Japanese ronin to control by force. The flat plains of the hinterland of Siam, the plains of northern Vietnam, and the undeveloped Mekong Delta in southern Cambodia should be handed over to the Han people for colonial reclamation in order to expand the living space of the Han people. ”

"The minister thought that all the natives of Indochina should be moved into the dense forests and mountains to develop the barren land. The number of new recruits of Japanese ronins can be determined as 100,000 according to the number discussed by Zhen Nanbo. These samurai were able to forcibly relocate the natives into the mountains by force, and then subjected them to high-pressure management. ”

"After the aborigines moved away, the plains were cultivated by the Han people of Jianghuai Province. Although there will be various problems in the short term, in the long run, the Indochina Peninsula can forever become the land of the Han people. The Indochina Peninsula is thousands of miles away, with plenty of sunshine and many rivers, which is enough to support tens of millions of Han people to farm. ”

Hearing Cui Changwu's words, all the officials were silent. The officials who had just seconded Zhennanbo's advice were silent at this time.

The policy that Cui Changwu said is in line with the king's consistent style of acting. I am afraid that the king would prefer the Han people to occupy more land than the cost of migrating.

Sure enough, Li Zhi happily patted the armrest of the throne and said with a smile: "The advice proposed by Chief Cui has won my heart. According to Chief Cui's suggestion, the plains and deltas of the Indochina Peninsula were moved to accommodate the Han people! ”

"This time, led by the Ministry of Finance, with the cooperation of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Industry, within ten days, we will come up with a plan on how to relocate the natives, how to distribute the ronin samurai, and how to encourage the Han people to migrate south!"
