In just a few months, Wu Kai understood why there were so many faint kings in history - it was too troublesome to be a diligent king!

Although the territory under his rule is currently only two-thirds of Japan's territory, it seems that the myriad of troubles is endless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the final analysis, the biggest problem was that Wu Kai did not have enough 'officials' at his disposal, especially civil officials who could govern the local areas - so the 'imperial court' had a serious lack of control over the local areas, and there were even repeated reports of the restoration of the Japanese warriors in the countryside.

If it was in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Wu Kai could still issue a 'recruitment order' or something, and collect some suitable talents from the people, but now, ...... Not to mention that there are few people who are proficient in the economy and people's livelihood, even if there are, Wu Kai may not dare to reuse them.

So it's not surprising that he has to make up his mind about all these things.

At present, the biggest headache for Wu Kai is the conflict between Han immigrants and Japanese natives - in the past two years, with the full support of the Red Turban Army, Han Chinese immigrants have finally gained a firm foothold in Japan, but it is precisely because the Red Turban Army has always favored the Han people that some of them are a little carried away.

The most obvious conscription is that before the six years of Xuanhe, most of the conflicts between immigrants and natives were initiated by the Japanese people, but since the sixth year of Xuanhe, the cases of Han immigrants taking the initiative to provoke disputes have gradually become the mainstream.

Those who embezzled the land of the Japanese people, and abused the Japanese women -- there were even people who slaughtered the Japanese people for a few quarrels!

And after the Red Turban military sent people to investigate, they were still resisted, excluded, bribed and co-opted by the local forces that had just formed!

This made Wu Kai quite angry, and at the same time, he also began to reflect on the strategy he had formulated - in order to gain a firm foothold in the Han Chinese, or even completely replace the Japanese people, he set the policy of comprehensively favoring and shielding the immigrants, and the resistance against the Japanese people was mainly suppressed by force, so as to narrow the numerical gap between the two races.

But now it seems that such unprincipled favoritism has raised a lot of white-eyed wolves!

Think about it, the main component of immigrants is the displaced people who survived the war, as well as the prisoners in various places, among whom there are many lawless people, after being connived at and protected by the authorities, they will naturally do evil and take advantage of it!

In view of this, from the end of the winter of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Wu Kaida began to organize manpower to survey laws and regulations on the one hand, and on the other hand, he carried out a severe crackdown throughout Japan, focusing on cracking down on the remaining samurai aristocratic class in various places, as well as those who took the lead in breaking the law and discipline among the Han people.

Because relatively strict targets were set for all localities, the local defenders did everything they could to accomplish their tasks, and no less than 1,000 people were killed by mistake in a few months.

At that time, there were also some dissenting opinions in the initially established court, and the mainstream faction led by Lin Dengwan, Cao Yang and others expressed their vows to defend Wu Kai's decision to defend Wu Kai's British name; The minority faction headed by Yue Fei and the iron-faced face Pei Xuan believed that this move was suspected of being punished without teaching and was unkind.

However, the strike hard campaign has indeed been effective, and in just a few months, the social atmosphere has been cleared up, and the previous chaos has no longer been restored.

In short, after temporarily stabilizing the situation in Japan by striking hard, Wu Kai immediately ordered the requisition of 60,000 Japanese peasants and soldiers from the hinterland of Gyeonggi, with the Japanese warriors who surrendered to Cheng as the backbone, and his relative Zong Chongshang personally commanded the formation of the Imperial Cooperative Army to assist the chariot general Wu Song to expedition to Goryeo.

For this decision, everyone in the court has no objections, first, Goryeo has been dancing too happily recently, which has long aroused the disgust of the Red Turban Army; Many of them secretly colluded with the rebellious party and transferred them out of Japan, making it easier for them to concentrate their forces on eliminating the rebellious party.

As for the 10,000 Han troops transferred to attack Goryeo, because they were supplemented by the 5,000 officers and soldiers that Wu Kai had just brought with them, it would not hurt the Japanese side.

At that time, the standing army of Goryeo was more than 300,000, and the territory was mostly easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Who knew that the Goryeo people in order to guard against the Jin State, most of the troops were deployed on the border, and they did not expect that someone would raid from the sea, coupled with the ignorance of the people, they often mistook firearms for witchcraft, and many strange rumors spread from this, so the officers and soldiers along the way almost fled from the wind, only a little more than a month, Wu Song's troops captured half of the country of Goryeo, and arrived at the capital of Goryeo.

On the eighth day of the fourth month, Li Ziqian, the governor of Goryeo, led his army out of the city to meet the enemy, and set up a large array of 'menstrual dog blood', driving hundreds of women to charge into battle with dog blood in their hands, intending to break the demon law of the Red Turban Army and regain the initiative on the battlefield.

On the same day, the Red Turban Army broke through Li Ziqian's headquarters and took advantage of the situation to attack the city, capturing hundreds of civil and military ministers including Wang Kai of Goryeo Injong and Li Ziqian, the head of the country, and obtained countless gold and silver utensils.

Li Ziqian's comrade Tuo Junjing fled from the capital in a hurry, supported the new emperor in the Dongting Mansion in Xidong, and prayed for peace, expressing his willingness to respect Wu Kai as the 'uncle emperor', and pay tribute every year to be called a minister.

Considering that the hinterland of Korea was mostly mountainous, it was very difficult to transport supplies, and that the elite corps deployed in northern Goryeo was still intact, and it was not without the strength to fight - and Wu Kai also hoped to keep a buffer zone in the middle before preparing for a head-on clash with the Jin army, so he temporarily agreed to Tuo Junjing's request for peace.

Afterwards, Tuo Junjing learned that Wu Kai was preparing to establish a state and ascend the throne on June 1, so he hurriedly collected 500 beautiful virgins and 300 eunuchs and sent them to Japan as tribute for the first tribute.

However, at the same time, Tuo Junjing gave a lot more gifts to the Emperor of the Jin State to enter the palace than this, obviously in case there was a discord, he used the power of the Jin State to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that the Goryeo people repeatedly emphasized the power of the 'Song immigrants', but they still failed to attract the attention of the high-level of the Jin State, but made the Jurchens look down on the strength of the Goryeo Kingdom more and more - if it weren't for the fact that the Jin State only had the fat of the Great Song Dynasty in their eyes at this time, they would have taken advantage of the situation to annex Goryeo first.

In April of the first year of Jingkang, Wu Kai built a simple city in the location of the later Tokyo City, and built private houses inside and outside the city, and moved 6,000 households of Japanese nobles, samurai, merchants, craftsmen, and 2,000 Han military dependents, with a total population of more than 50,000, distributed inside and outside the city.

In mid-May of the first year of Jingkang, Xincheng was officially named 'Nanjing' in preparation for Wu Kai's accession to the throne and proclamation as emperor.
