When the civilians, slaves, and war horses on other ships went ashore, it was the vigilant fleet led by Yang Renri who went ashore, and the artillery units quickly occupied the fort heights and included the entire Fushan City in the scope of the attack.

Finally, when Yang Wenli went ashore, the commanders of the various units and the chief officers of the logistics department all went to the dock to line up to greet them, Yang Wenli's escort team was extraordinarily large, as many as 500 ironclad elites, like the Imperial Forest Army, energetic, like modern honor guards, every movement was so firm and powerful, full of masculine beauty.

"My lord, the Ming Commander has landed." The interpreter deliberately walked to Matsumae Gonghiro's side and pointed to Yang Wenli, who was leading Xiao Yan'er off the boat, and reminded kindly.

In fact, his kindness is redundant, Yang Wenli's pomp is not comparable to ordinary generals, it can be said that it is surrounded by stars, and he sent the military band to play music to welcome him, Matsumae Gongguang is not stupid, and naturally knows that the main lord is coming.

When Yang Wenli accepted the greeting of a group of subordinates, and walked towards the Japanese nobles kneeling on the dock, Matsumae Gongguang once again bowed loudly and said: "Xiaguo Xiaobang, General Zhengyi personally canonized as the governor of Ezo South Province, from the five Shimo, Matsuzen Gonghiro, led his retainers and people to sincerely ask for surrender to His Excellency the Grand Commander, I hope that His Excellency the Grand Commander will raise his noble hand and descend Hongen, Gongguang is grateful!" ”

The Japanese interpreter next to him translated Matsumae Gonghiro's words to Yang Wenli as they were.

Yang Wenli carefully glanced at Matsumae Gonghiro, in his early thirties, when he was in the prime of life, he looked very spiritual, the iconic head of the moon dynasty, Ren Danhu, and the black and white samurai kimono that echoed the head of the moon dynasty, indicating his identity, a purebred and human.

"Get up! Lonely Nian Er has to be sincere and obedient, and has never rebelled against the power of God, and I can spare you from the misfortune of slaves.

Ezo Island, Sakhalin Island and Kamchatka Peninsula further north, the Kuril Islands, the Far East and the vast Siberian region are all sacred territories of China, and there are historical records that can be traced back to the ancient period of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Previously, due to various reasons, no troops were stationed there, and they were invaded by small countries such as Er, but now I have led the Black Armor Army to cross the ocean and come here, which is to declare that Ezo Island is the inherent territory of our Chinese kingdom.

The former clan of Ermatsu and the people who live here are sincere in their submission, and I can return to Honshu Island, Japan, or I can choose to continue to live here.

But we must swear allegiance to our Black Armor Army, and we will be cut off from the peace of the Japanese kingdom from now on. However, he allowed you to continue to do business and buy property, maintain the independent status of your Matsumae family, and protect your personal property and personal safety.

You can go back and think carefully, whether to go or stay, I will not interfere, choose to leave, and your property and family can be taken away. ”

The reason why Yang Wenli made such a tolerant disposition was because the power of the Matsumae Domain was not strong, and it was not enough for the size of the servant army of the General Banner, and now that the Black Armor Army occupied Fushan Castle with absolute power, he was not afraid of any more resistance from the Matsumae Domain.

Besides, Yang Wenli wants to unify the Far East in the future, and he must be lenient and strict with people of different countries and races, and cannot blindly rule barbarically.

Sing which song on which mountain, Yang Wenli is now a leader of tens of thousands of people, and the previous dick silk can't have angry feelings, the individual obeys the main body, and everything starts from the overall situation.

Yang Wenli's disposition, or policy, was relatively lenient and unexpected by all the nobles present, but this kind of family and state affairs must be decided by Matsumae Kohiro, the head of the family, or he must go back to the castle tower to discuss the council.

Everyone looked at Matsumae Gonghiro, and Matsumae Gongguang asked after a while: "Grand Commander, if you still want to live and do business here, will there be any changes in my army, retainers, fiefs, and official positions?" ”

"That's for sure, but it doesn't mean that it will go bad, and all your positions and fiefs that the shogunate used to seal you will be null and void.

But in view of your special status, I will canonize you as the commander of the second army of the servant army, the rank of general banner, and the actual rank of 100 households and lieutenant.

You can command 174 regular soldiers, including officers, and these 174 people are equivalent to the samurai class of your Japanese kingdom, and each of them will be given 50 acres of land, and each regular soldier will command five slave soldiers, on top of which is the captain, and there are five regular soldiers, and there are ten slave soldiers, and above them are the chiefs, and there are three captains, and there are fifteen slave soldiers, and above the chief is a small banner, and the commander is three captains, and there are twenty slave soldiers, and above that is the general banner.

So you actually have 1,339 troops, and compared with your previous strength, your strength has not dropped to the bottom.

What needs to be reminded is that no matter how big or small your official position is, you only have 50 acres of basic ration fields, and your regular soldiers have absolute autonomy over their 50 acres of ration fields, and you have no right to interfere with and occupy them, nor are you allowed to buy or sell them.

You only have the right to collect taxes, and each mu of land is a fixed 20% tax, you have no right to increase, in the future it will only decrease, will not increase, you take 10% of the grain tax, and pay 10% of it.

I am doing this to protect the basic right to life of every regular soldier under my rule.

In addition, I did this because I wanted to build the country on business, and in the future, under my rule, I would allow wealthy merchants, factory owners, mine owners, etc., but not large landowners.

Of course, the difference between an officer and an ordinary soldier is mainly reflected in a generous salary, and I can guarantee that the officer and his family will live a decent and prosperous life.

If you sincerely obey me, your future official positions must be promoted by meritorious service on the battlefield, and I will guarantee that you will be treated fairly and justly.

On top of that, you still have the exclusive right to trade with the Japanese daimyos, which you have an absolute advantage in.

Let me tell you so! Our country of China is the birthplace of East Asian civilization, and our Black Armor Army is not a barbarian, and we are here to build, not destroy.

What we bring is civilization and advanced production technology, and I believe that it will not be long before Ezo Island will be a beautiful, civilized, rich, and advanced place that will lead the world, and I can guarantee that.

But the premise of all this is that you must be sincerely attached to me. ”

Yang Wenli introduced the unique system of the Black Armor Army to Matsuzen Gongguang and all the nobles present in detail, many of which they had never heard of, and there were some matters that were related to interests, and everyone wanted to ask him face to face.

For example, the eldest of the elders of the Matsumae Domain, the old Inoue of the pen family, trusted, he was equal to the official position of the prime minister of the Matsumae Domain, with a high and powerful position, in charge of both the army and the people, but his essence was still a civil official, no different from those who pursued.

He listened to the meaning of Yang Wenli's words, even the head of the family only has fifty acres of ration land, so does he, a civil official, have land? So he stood up and bowed respectfully to Yang Wenli and asked, "Your Excellency, the old Inoue of the Songqian Domain's pen head family is trusted, I want to ask, do we civil officials have any land?" ”

"Strictly speaking, civilian officials have no land, and only when they are promoted to the rank of regular soldier for meritorious service on the battlefield will they be given 50 acres of basic ration fields, and civilian officials only have a good salary and can also engage in foreign trade, but they are not allowed to do business and buy property in the country, and this is to prevent officials from taking advantage of their power to enrich their own pockets and infringe on the interests of ordinary businessmen.

But there are exceptions, civil officials who have made outstanding contributions, and those who receive the title can also receive land, but fifty acres is the upper limit, no matter how high the title is, there can be no exception.

It's just that these 50 acres of land are ancestral fields, which can be passed on to their descendants, but the basic ration fields of regular soldiers are not good, and the government will take them back after death, except for the martyrs who died on the battlefield, and their ration fields will automatically be converted into ancestral fields. ”

According to the situation that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were few people in the fields, especially in the Nuergandusi area, which was vast and sparsely populated, and Yang Wenli made certain changes to the system.

In this way, he decided that in fact there would be a large amount of land left, which would be owned by the government and leased to the common people for cultivation, up to fifty percent of the land rent.

All tenants do not have to pay taxes, and paying fifty percent of the land rent is the limit, even if they cultivate the land of regular soldiers and officials.

In doing so, he ensured the most basic living conditions of the poor and did not make the poor poorer.

There are many, many more protection policies for the poor, which I will talk about later.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with these nobles......
