Chapter 113 New State Capital
Tokugawa Tadashi did not hide it: "As a general, you were captured by the enemy, what qualifications do you have to be a general, then of course I should be the one." Are you afraid that if I become a general, let the Ming army arrest me? ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu replied, "Then what do you think I can do?" I watched you become a general, and then I was killed as garbage by the Ming army. I don't want you to be caught too, that's to sit back and watch yourself die, you understand? ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga said, "You have your reasons, I will definitely tell my father when I go back." ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered: "You betrayed Japan, how should I tell my father?" ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga was poked in the pain point and couldn't argue, so he had to remain silent. Tokugawa Iemitsu continued: "If you don't confess to me, I won't confess to you, and the matter will be over. In the future, everyone will rely on their abilities, and one day if you can become a general, it will be your own blessing. ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga nodded: "Well, if I become a general one day, I will spare your life." ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered and said nothing, if Tokugawa Tadanaga really became a general, he was afraid that the first thing he would do was to kill himself. Or he killed himself first before he could become a general.
Ma Shiying asked the two to select twenty retinues from each of the captives and then send them away separately. I have the peace treaty they signed in my hands, and as long as they dare to get in the way, I can throw it out at any time and hand it over to them to lay the abyss.
Yang Guanggao was already on his way to Kirishima at this time. They took the waterway, Zhang Qianfang was responsible for transportation, and Zheng Zhilong was responsible for clearing the front road, first beating the warships near Kirishima to either sink or surrender, and then the Guards landed and began to attack.
After these battles, the Shimazu family became less and less numerous, and under the attack of the guards, the castle was quickly broken. Shimazu Tadashi took Shimazu Mitsuhisa and others to surrender helplessly, and was escorted to Yang Guanggao by the soldiers.
Yang Guanggao asked people to count the number of people in the Shimazu family, and found that almost all of them were among those who surrendered, so he ordered: "Let's kill them together and avenge my Ryukyu domain." ”
Shimazu Tadashi didn't expect the Ming army to kill them directly, and shouted: "We have obtained permission from the shogunate to attack the Ryukyus, and most of the property of the Ryukyus has also been taken by the shogunate." ”
This sentence saved the life of the Shimazu family, originally Yang Guanggao thought that in order to stabilize the Satsuma place, he must kill the original daimyo and the family elders together, but now Shimazu shouted like this, but it made him think that he could use it to blackmail the shogunate again in the future, and there was no problem in staying, as long as he was not in the Satsuma Domain.
So he asked, "Who led the attack on the Ryukyus, and there must be a top tank." ”
Shimazu Tadashi hurriedly pointed to Kayama Hisataka and Hirata Masumune and said, "It was the two of them who led the troops to Ryukyu. ”
Yang Guanggao pointed to the two and said, "Behead these two people to sacrifice the people of the Ryukyus." ”
Then he ordered someone to bring the Shimazu family to Hirado, and when they returned to the army, they were brought back to the mainland, leaving a tail for future Japanese affairs.
Kirishima was down, the Shimazu family had been wiped out, and the entire Satsuma domain was in the hands of the Ming army. Yang Guanggao sent a letter to Osumi Province, ordering Osumi Province to cede the territory south of Tarumi Province to the Ming Dynasty on the grounds that Osumi Province had helped Satsuma Province and fought against the Heavenly Soldiers, otherwise the Heavenly Soldiers would arrive, and the entire Osumi Province would not be left.
Osumi Province had been a vassal of the Shimazu family many years ago, so when the letter arrived, the Osumi liver Fu clan immediately responded and gave up the territory south of Tasui.
The Ming Dynasty did not send officials to govern here, so the local governance could only use the Japanese to govern the Japanese first. This was the most interesting thing for Chinese civil officials, and Ma Shiying began to implement this feat with great interest. He himself replaced the original daimyo, and the samurai class below remained, but he gave the samurai a rank.
The former Satsuma Domain and the Osumi Domain south of Taruisui are now called Kagoshima Prefecture together, and this is only a temporary name, and the official name will have to wait for the emperor to give it a new name. Ma Shiying divided the entire Kagoshima into twenty big samurai, and then asked them to take in some more small samurai to basically maintain the original feudal rule.
After the Guards completed the occupation, they told the surrounding feudal states that Kagoshima was the land of the Ming Dynasty and was sacrosanct. But if there is one who transgresses the boundary, he will be destroyed. With the appearance of the Satsuma Domain in front, at least in the short term, no one will dare to take a step beyond the Thunder Pond.
The General Staff of the Guards Army and the 2nd Division returned to Juehua Island, leaving only the Independent Brigade and Yan Siqi's troops in Japan. Hirado and Iki Island had already been occupied by Yan Siqi, and now only Tsushima Island and Ezo Island remain.
And Zhang Qianfang came to Tsushima Island with the Fufu, and the pirates on the island decided to surrender after seeing the Fufu. This is a very wise decision, and Zhang Qianfang also welcomes this decision, because the navy just needs to increase the number of people, if it can not kill people, it is better not to kill people.
After the pirates were co-opted, Zhang Qianfang ordered them to continue to guard Tsushima Island, reclaim wasteland, and fish, and left them three months' rations, clearly telling them that no one outside the Ming army was allowed to go to the island. As long as the boats along the way are not from the Ming Dynasty, they can be grabbed. Of course, the only thing that can be grabbed is the North Korean ship, and the other ships do not pass here.
The weather is already very cold, and it is impossible to emigrate from the mainland at this time, so it will not start until after the beginning of spring next year. And Ezo Island will not go to declare sovereignty until the weather warms up next year, and this year it seems that it can only nest at home and cats winter.
Before the Chinese New Year, the emperor's decree arrived, naming the occupied former Japanese territory as the new state capital, appointing Ma Shiying as the prefect, and the jurisdiction of the Satsuma domain and the southern part of the Osumi domain also included Hirado, Ichiki, Tsushima three islands, and the unoccupied Ezo Island, and the original Jeju was also assigned to the new state government.
This is the first government far away overseas, and it does not belong to any political secretary, but is directly managed by the imperial court. In other words, Ma Shiying is actually equivalent to the governor of a province, which makes many people envious, and also makes more people understand that the emperor values people who do practical things, and it is no longer popular to only find fault in the court.
And before the Chinese New Year, cabinet member Han Yi finally resigned. To say that he is not very old, at least much younger than Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao. But it was clear that the emperor didn't like him, didn't trust him, and avoided him for everything, whether it was himself or the ministers of the court, they all saw it in their eyes and understood it in their hearts. He didn't ask for his resignation again, but he was afraid that everyone would despise him.
After Zhu Youxiao received his resignation, he pretended not to allow it. And Han Yi repeatedly went to the table, so Zhu Youxiao had to reluctantly approve him, crowned him as the crown prince and Shaobao, and sent him back to his hometown by Jinyiwei.
