Chapter 375: Sweeping Kyushu and establishing new rules with Hai Rui
Nagasaki was originally a fishing village, but in fact, it has become a port of Nagasaki because the Ming government and private trading houses came to trade with the Japanese country, which gradually turned Nagasaki Village into Nagasaki Port, and there is even a grain bureau town established by the Daming Grain Industry Bureau.
Lu Bo took his personal guards and first stationed in the grain bureau town.
Wang Zhe, the director of the grain industry bureau and town, hurriedly greeted Lu Bo as soon as he saw him: "The deputy marshal has worked hard all the way, and now this dragon temple clan has not doubted our plan, what I have been telling them is that our army is only temporarily stationed in Nagasaki, and it will go to conquer Oda Nobunaga within three months, so now they are still willing to make a deal with us, I don't know if the army needs to purchase anything, I will ask them to arrange!" ”
"No, now that the navy has been stationed in Nagasaki, the army will use Nagasaki as a springboard at that time, and it will not be a problem to directly occupy Hizen.
As Lu Bo spoke, he saw Chen Yu, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei stationed in Nagasaki, appear, and Lu Bo took the opportunity to ask: "Chen Baihu came just in time, what is the situation in this Feiqian country now, how many soldiers are there to fight, you can tell me, if you can, before Qi Shuai leads the army to arrive, our navy will first destroy this Feiqian country, and then the army can go directly to China to clean up the Maori clan." ”
"Now the main forces in Hizen are the Ryuzoji clan, the Otomo clan, the Shaoji clan, and the Matsuura clan, and now, it is mainly the Ryuzoji clan that is fighting with the Otomo clan, and Ryuzoji Takanobu has just united with Maori Yuan to prepare to attack Otomo Sorin, and is now preparing to send troops to build the front ......"
Chen Yu replied.
"In that case, you send one of your people as a guide, and take the officers and soldiers under your command to Chikuzen first."
Lu Bo commanded.
Lu Bo is the deputy marshal of the army, so he can naturally command Jinyiwei, who is in charge of military intelligence and reconnaissance in Japan.
Chen Yu, a hundred households in brocade clothes, said yes, and immediately ordered his commander-in-chief, Mude, to be a guide for Lu Bo's marines.
Early this morning.
Lu Bo rushed to Chikuzen with 5,000 marines.
Chikuzen's current guardian is Otomo Sorin, a top daimyo who owns the territory of the six countries of Bunzen, Bungo, Chikuzen, Chikugo, Hizen, and Higo.
But at present, Otomo Sorin is facing a joint attack by Ryuzoji Takanobu and Mori Motosho, so the defeat of Otomo Sorin's defeat is inevitable.
Lu Bo also learned the basic situation of some daimyo on Kyushu Island at this time from Jinyi Weimude.
Lu Bo was also very surprised that there were many countries in this kind of big place at this time, and when he arrived at Chikuzen, this Ryuzoji Takanobu and Mori Motomo had already begun to fight against each other.
But the arrival of Lu Bo's 5,000 Ming army also surprised the three daimyo who were about to fight a big battle.
"General Lu, your country's army can only stay in Nagasaki and Herado to replenish supplies, and then go to Kansai to punish the traitors who usurped the Muromachi shogunate, and you can't enter my Hizen interior."
Ryuzoji Takanobu welcomed the Ming army into Nagasaki and went to Kansai to suppress Oda Nobunaga through Nagasaki, but he really did not want the Ming army to go deep into his territory, after all, he could not guarantee that these Ming troops would not take the opportunity to seize power when they came to his territory.
Lu Bo said: "Longzao Temple Longxin, you are really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people, this general is grateful that you are very friendly to the king of the Heavenly Dynasty, so he specially brought 5,000 officers and soldiers to help you attack Otomo Zonglin, but now it seems that you don't need our assistance, in this case, we will go to Otomo Zonglin, I believe he will definitely be willing to give us more benefits." ”
As Lu Bo spoke, he instructed Mude to contact Otomo Zonglin.
Seeing this, Longzosi Takanobu was also worried that the addition of the Ming army would help Otomo Zonglin, so he couldn't help but get up and shouted: "General Lu, please stay!" Contemptible people welcome Wang Shi to come to help! ”
"Very good, General Ben has no other requirements, five hundred widows! There is also a sustenance! ”
Lu Bo said hurriedly.
Ryuzosi Takanshin knew that Ming Guo liked Japanese women, but he didn't expect Lu Bo to directly ask for five hundred Japanese women, but he thought that he couldn't lose the opportunity to eliminate Otomo Zonglin because of the intervention of the Ming army, so he agreed: "Okay, I promise you!" Within a month, 500 widows were sent to the general! ”
Lu Bo nodded, and began to order his troops to start camping, and asked Mude to prepare to contact Otomo Sorin, while he sat on a hillside, watching Otomo Sorin's battle with the Ryuzoji clan and the Maori clan.
At this time, the Japanese country was still in the arquebus era, and there were no powerful cannons, so these daimyo fought mostly with each other, using the loyalty of the samurai to fight to the death, basically comparing who was less afraid of death.
Lu Bo could see that these daimyo warriors were very brave, even more courageous than the Ming army, but the Ming army had the advantage of weapons, and the combat quality was high, as high as 90 percent of the literacy rate, especially the marines with a higher literacy rate, they had more advantages in group combat, but they might not be as good as these warriors when fighting alone.
Otomo Sorin's defeat was defeated, and it was obvious that Maori Motoshi joined, making Ryuzoji Takanobu stronger.
However, Lu Bo took advantage of the situation to occupy Chikuzen with the Ming army first, and directly entered Fukuoka, demanding that Ryuzoji Takanobu not enter Chikuzen again.
To this end, Lu Bo issued a murderous military warning in Fukuoka, demanding that Ryuzoji Takanobu stop his march into Chikuzen, otherwise the other prefectures of Chikuzen would also be slaughtered.
Ryuzosi Takanshin realized that he had led the wolf into the room, but he didn't dare to offend the Ming Dynasty, and was even afraid that the Ming would interfere with him to destroy the Otomo Zonglin, so he had to follow Lu Bo's instructions, give up Zhuqian, and attack the Fengqian country instead, and even still gave Lu Bo 500 widows as promised, and also gave 200 more widows, in order to make Lu Bo promise to allow him the legitimate occupation of other countries guarded by the Ryuzoji clan.
Although Lu Bo accepted these 700 widows, he did not give any promises.
Ryuzoji Takanobu didn't say anything, and only continued to attack Otomo Sorin.
But Lu Bo also seemed to see the weakness of this Japanese country in front of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't take the name of this Japanese country in his eyes more and more.
"Lu Shuai, Qi Shuai has led the main force to land in Nagasaki, and now he is sweeping through all parts of Nagasaki and setting up three concentration areas to house the Japanese women, and now Qi Shuai asks, you immediately approach the direction of Nagasaki, and strive to break through Bunzen, Bungo, Higo, Kagoshima and other areas together with the Second Army of the Guards within ten years, and completely clean up Kyushu!"
At this time, Lu Bo received Qi Jiguang's military order, so he nodded: "Please rest assured Qi Shuai, we will quickly approach in the direction of Kagoshima!" ”
Saying that, Lu Bo instructed: "The first place to occupy should be Fengzen, and now Ryuzoji Takanobu may not know the purpose of our army, so he immediately sent the 4th Marine Regiment to Fengzen Tagawa County to tell them that a widow of our Celestial Dynasty King Division was missing in Fukuoka, and the official suspected that he had fled into Tagawa, so he specially ordered the 4th Regiment to search Tagawa Castle!" Ask the garrison of Tagawa City to open the city gate and let Wang Shi go in and search! ”
Lu Bo directly thought of such a reason, he believed that it was impossible for the people of Longzoji Takanobu not to agree, of course, if Ryuzōji Takanobu did not agree to let his army go in to search, he would naturally have more reason to attack Tagawa County.
However, Ryuzoji Takanobu refused the Ming army's request to enter Tagawa County to search for Japanese women, fearing that the Ming army would enter Tagawa County and occupy Tagawa County in the same way as Fukuoka and carry out a bloody policy against the Japanese people of Tagawa County.
Lu Bo also directly declared war on this with Longzosi Longxin, asking Otomo Zonglin to cooperate with him, and said that after the Ming army left, he would give all the territories of the Longzosi clan to Otomo Zonglin.
The Wa State, which was in the Warring States Period, had no national cohesion and could not unite against the Ming Dynasty, which gave the Ming army the best conditions to use the strategy of killing people with a knife.
Otomo Zonglin couldn't refuse Lu Bo's temptation to give him the territory of the Longzosi clan after the Ming army left, so he resolutely chose to send troops to help the Ming army attack the several orders guarded by Longzoji Takashin.
Soon, the Ryuzoji clan abandoned the city and abandoned the land, and the entire Fengzen Kingdom once again fell into the hands of the Ming army and Otomo Sorin, and at this time, Qi Jiguang's main force also advanced to the south and east of Kyushu after clearing Nagasaki.
Ryuzoji Takanobu eventually fled to Kagoshima and committed suicide in Kagoshima.
And Qi Jiguang's main force also joined forces with the Marines led by Lu Bo of the Ming Army in Songpu County.
At this point, Lu Bo will be mainly responsible for sweeping up the sea and cutting off the way out of the Japanese pirates, and looking for a landing site in China (Japanese geographical name), while Tang Kekuan will lead the main force of the Ming army to eliminate the forces of Otomo Sorin's forces and completely sweep away the remnants of the Japanese in Kyushu.
Qi Jiguang began to study the next military strategy for China.
During this period, a group of daimyo Japanese prisoners were also escorted back to China for a prisoner sacrifice ceremony, after all, the reason for the Ming Dynasty's conquest of the Japanese State was that the Japanese State harassed the southeast.
On this day, Emperor Zhu Houzhao sat on the high platform behind Emperor Zhu Zailei and witnessed the ceremony of dedicating prisoners to 27 Japanese daimyo.
Gao Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, read out the verdict, and Emperor Zhu Zailei agreed, and then these twenty-seven Japanese daimyo were escorted down, clicked, and beheaded directly!
Zhu Houzhao took a special look at the civil officials present, some civil officials with the background of the Jiangnan Shi clan obviously looked more dignified, this kind of eradication of the Japanese invaders, obviously let them know that it will be difficult for their family to take advantage of the division of the Japanese state and be independent of the Ming forces in the future to collude with the Japanese to smuggle.
But in any case, at this time, whether it is a civil servant or a general, they have to praise the martial arts of the emperor and the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the killing of prisoners is an ominous thing, therefore, the minister thinks that in the future, this prisoner sacrifice ceremony will not need to be held again, and the leaders of the Japanese who will be escorted back from the Japanese country will be directly rebelled by the Ministry of Justice, and then the Ministry of Rites will preside over the ceremony, so that the Ministry of Punishment can be publicly executed in front of the officials and the people, it is too bloody! And it can be regarded as a simple and provincial ceremony! lest Your Majesty be overworked! ”
Chen Yiqin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up at this time and put forward a proposal to ban this kind of prisoner sacrifice ceremony.
"No! The new emperor ascended the throne, need to promote the rule of culture and martial arts, the Japanese have always been my Ming trouble, now can be cleared of the Japanese and protect the peace of the world, it is already a brilliant thing, how can it not be opened! If you don't offer prisoners, then don't hold the hairpin ceremony of the new science and technology jinshi, since you want to simplify the government, you can't only reduce the gift of martial arts, but not the gift of literature! ”
Yang Luan, the imperial historian of Zuodu, objected, and Chen Yiqin was not good at speaking.
Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly when he saw this, he naturally knew why Chen Yiqin and others were unwilling to hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony, but fortunately, now that the Ming Dynasty is no longer heavy on literature and suppression of martial arts, military generals are no longer under the control of civil ministers, and naturally they can compete with civilian officials, even in the court.
Xu Jie could only sigh slightly when he saw this, he also knew that now was no longer the time when the civilian clique was dominant, and the military generals group backed by the big chaebols and the common people was not only on an equal footing with the civilian officials, but he was afraid that if Qi Jiguang returned to the prime minister in triumph, the military attache would completely overwhelm the civilian officials in the future.
What makes Xu Jie even more indignant is that there are idealistic civil officials like Hai Rui, who only have the justice he insists on in his eyes, and don't listen to anyone's words, and now the emperor and the emperor are naturally extremely wise, but because of this, civil officials like Hai Rui have repeatedly opposed the gentry.
Hai Rui was indeed against the gentry in Jiangnan at this time, and he was not instructed by anyone, but instinctively because he found that in Jiangnan there were not only families like Xu Jie, but also many gentry with prominent backgrounds who embezzled the land, and it was very serious, a large number of mulberry farmers and cotton farmers were in a weak position in the entire competition for land resources, and even forced to become workers from small bourgeoisie because of the loss of land.
Not only that, Hai Jui also found that the rights and interests of workers in many towns were not guaranteed, and even some workers with higher pay and pay were oppressed by the gentry, who controlled most of the trading houses and even formed chambers of commerce if they lost their jobs.
If a gentleman wants to rectify a worker, he can directly ask the major commercial houses controlled by the chamber of commerce not to hire the worker, forcing the worker to be desperate.
As a result, many workers commit suicide, especially middle-aged workers whose families are burdened but can no longer provide cheap labor.
And many officials also helped the gentry, which further exacerbated the antagonism between these gentry and the workers.
Naturally, unlike those civil officials, Hai Jui took advantage of more autonomy and directly embarked on pilot reforms in Yingtian to strengthen the protection of workers' rights and interests, encourage the establishment of trade unions, encourage workers to hold property rights, and even directly formulate local regulations to protect workers' rights and interests and give preferential treatment to workers.
"Anyone who dismisses a worker during the contract period and a non-worker takes the initiative to apply for resignation shall be compensated for liquidated damages of one year's salary! Governments at all levels are obliged to establish free reemployment training institutions, and all commercial firms that employ less than 30% of Ming citizens and use a large number of white and black slaves will be subject to three times the heavy tax! Special factories can apply to the official for a special application! Whoever encroaches on the land, whoever it is, shall be subject to a civil judgment by the judge, and shall not only return the land, but also compensate for the loss of the income from the land......"
Zhu Houzhao carried out a pilot reform to increase local autonomy in Yingtian, after all, the production relations in Jiangnan were ahead of the rest of the country and more complicated, so Nanzhili could be allowed to carry out some pilot reforms on his own, so that the time would be used to promote them to the whole country.
Therefore, the governor of Yingtian can make some local regulations and appoint officials below the provincial level (excluding the provincial level) through the collective voting of the leadership group, which is also an attempt to integrate with the modern political system.
However, it is clear that Hai Jui has undoubtedly seriously violated the interests of the gentry and businessmen, and has also directly interfered with the free economy of Jiangnan, and even the employment and dismissal of workers by these businessmen have been regulated by law.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao received a telegram from the emperor's son Zhu Zailei on this day: "Father, it's not good, a group of students from Nanzhili crowded outside the Daming Gate, demanding that the imperial court remove Hai Rui!" ”
