Chapter 207: Sweet Dates for the Princes of All Walks of Life

All kinds of sailing ships with a displacement of 100 tons, under the leadership of Yan Siqi, constantly traveled back and forth between the Jiaodong Peninsula and the Wa Kingdom. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although, the Wa Kingdom had a population of nearly 100 million in the 17th century. The continued mass migration does not seem to be of any use other than exacerbating the conflict between people and land.

But Corning chose to do just that. First, he needs more Chinese Miao descendants to change the customs of this land. Second, the hungry people in Shandong must acquire more land at a faster rate. As for the contradiction between man and land in the Japanese state. The solution is actually very simple, that is, to immigrate the Japanese to Southeast Asia and even further afield New Zealand.

As for the rebellion that is taking place now, it is indeed a very serious challenge for the group. So Boss Huang has been busy. But that busyness isn't going to spill over to Corning.

He has returned to Awaji Island and is preparing to set off from here for Kyoto in Yamashiro Province.

There, his subordinates Wang Sunsin and Lifei Genri had taken control of the emperor, but Omi remained in the hands of Tokugawa Ieyasu's men.

After the Shimonoseki Treaty, the other side ceased military operations and began internal discussions on whether or not to comply with the treaty's restrictions. However, Kanning must prevent these people from brazenly attacking the Yamashiro Province that was already on sale, regardless of Tokugawa Ieyasu's life and death.

The signing of a treaty is one thing, but its implementation is another. Not to mention that the international order of the 17th century had few restrictions on the breach of treaties, even the customs of the princes in the Wa Kingdom since the Warring States period did not regard a treaty as a chain that bound their hands and feet.

Therefore, it is still necessary to replenish the necessary troops. What's more, there is an important decision that Corning has already made.

Regarding the question of the prime minister of the Japanese government after the return of the Great Shogun, Kangning had decided to recommend Sakamoto Ryoma, the pioneer of the Shogun Movement, to serve as the prime minister.

Speaking of which, Saigo Takamori, who launched an uprising and ignited the Southwest War, was more suitable as a hostile opponent of the big landlords and the big bourgeoisie, but Corning preferred to let this guy know that although the eight strategies he proposed to Goto Zojiro in the boat briefly guided Japan to a national government with the emperor as the core, what was ultimately left to Japan was only a constitutional monarchy after World War II.

The inheritance of the world, in the face of the constantly emerging talents, can not withstand the impact of the times. After all, the acquisition of knowledge and skills gave birth to intellectuals to obtain better social power, including the imperial power that ruled the world.

If it weren't for the ideological seal of Confucianism being transformed into imperial power by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that China's history would never have lingered in the cycle of chaos of feudal dynasties for 2,000 years. Perhaps it only takes one time to always have the five virtues to push the historical process to another track, whether that track is a surname or a surname, it will be a completely different scene.

Unfortunately, history does not tolerate assumptions. Therefore, China has been wandering for 2,000 years, passing by the crown of world hegemon many times, and has not buckled it to the door of its head.

However, even this could not prevent the decline of the world. Although the pains of modern times are unbearable, knowledge and skills have finally replaced bloodline and become the most important indicator for selecting talents on this land and even in the whole world.

Sakamoto Ryoma's backward concept brought only a flash in the pan to the Wa Kingdom.

When he was summoned and talked with Corning in the carriage all night, he stubbornly believed that the way forward for the Wa Kingdom lay in the innovation after integrating resources.

But Corning said only one word.

"Innovation cannot turn back the clock of history."

Failure to discard outdated ideas, even the famous Meiji Restoration, could not fundamentally change the fate of the Wa Kingdom.

At the same time, Corning adds, "We need to innovate before we integrate." ”

Corning wasn't saying that the last plane should have done this, he was just setting the tone for what was going on.

At least in this plane, the Wa Kingdom can only be a part of the Corning world. The emphasis on the whole doesn't make much sense.

After arriving in Kyoto, Corning slept in his mansion almost every day, but Ryoma Sakamoto couldn't sleep all night.

Despite this, he did not refuse the appointment of the prime minister of the imperial court. From the very beginning of his tenure, government reform was put on the agenda.

The reigning Emperor Gomizuo was very self-aware, and he knew that the so-called return of the great government was nothing more than a deprivation of the legitimacy of the shogunate's exercise of power. As the nominal head of state, his ruling power remains nominal.

Therefore, Emperor Gomizuo did not say a word about the reforms advocated by Sakamoto Ryomali.

But the Tokugawa Group could not ignore it. Naomasa Ii, who was reactivated, was in the Tokugawa army opposite. They had been stationed in Omi Province for some time, but they did not dare to attack the armies of Wang Sunsin and Lifei Yuanli. What holds them back? Naturally, it's Naomasa Ii.

In the recent war, many of the undead under Sanada Maru Castle were his subordinates. If he hadn't been a fast runner, he might have been one of them.

And now, the battlefield has shifted to Omi Province, and the other side has obviously been tempered by explosives, and the Tokugawa Shogun has been captured alive. This makes it all the more imperative to act rashly.

But it's not a way to keep going like this. Their nests have been raided, and the supply of food and grass can be said to have been cut off. Now he can only survive with the selfless assistance of the Omi Province and the surrounding princes. But if this situation continues, their cold dishes will also be emptied one day, and if they continue to rely on it, it may cause the dissatisfaction of the princes, and when the time comes, they will turn to Kangning, which will be even more unfavorable to themselves.

So, they urgently need a window of dialogue to break the deadlock.

The clever Naomasa Ii actually hit the idea of Sakamoto Ryoma's reform.

The new reform program created a number of new official positions in the imperial court. The reason for this is naturally because the clan nobles have a monopoly on a lot of fat differences, and their abilities, after many years of captivity, are obviously not enough to handle the burden of managing the country. Therefore, the regulations must be reset. And this gave Naomasa Ii hope.

He demanded that Sakamoto Ryoma be willing to persuade the Tokugawa generals to surrender if he was given a place.

Sakamoto Ryoma is naturally indispensable. However, considering the possibility of conspiracy such as delaying the army, he stressed to the other side that his soldiers must be placed in the command of Corning.

Naomasa Ii said he needed to think about it and consult with other major generals.

In this regard, Sakamoto Ryoma naturally has no reason to refuse.

Inspired by Naomasa I, Kangning sent a letter to the various princes who had rebelled to ask if they needed to keep their official positions in the new imperial court.

As soon as the letter came out, nearly half of the princes who had declared that they would defeat Corning stopped their military operations.

Kangning took a look at the latest information, and among the remaining half of the people, the Shimazu family was the most threatening.
