Chapter 1182: Japan, Separation and Gambling
The midsummer of 1863 was at the most critical turning point in the country's history. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The shocking and at the same time long-awaited news has finally arrived.
The news is that Japan has successfully restored the status of a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty! This...... This is a good news to celebrate, because the conditions for the Japanese feudal domain are quite generous.
First of all, the king of Japan (who could not be called the emperor after being a vassal) was given the status of a vassal, higher than the king of Taiping, the king of Joseon, the king of Siam, the king of the Ryukyus, the Khan of Kazakhstan, the king of Western Qing, the king of Alaska, and the Duke of Hong Kong Island.
Secondly, the king of Japan also got the title of Prince of Daming, and the four princes of the Japanese imperial family can also get the title of Duke of Daming, and the 3oo Daimyojia gets the corresponding title of Daming according to the level of the family (the Daimyo's family personality also has a high and low), and the highest-level Tokugawa family governor will get the title of the Duke of Edo. Moreover, all the titles given are not false names, but have corresponding mansions, land, and annuities, and of course have corresponding obligations. This is tantamount to incorporating all the Japanese aristocracy into the Ming aristocratic system. With the exception of Japan, only the nobility of the Kazakh Khanate enjoyed the same treatment.
Third, Japanese citizens also have the same status as citizens of the Kazakh Khanate and Hong Kong Island. The right to receive a certain amount of land for cultivation in the frontier lands or colonies of the Ming Empire, can apply for the same schools as other Ming citizens, and is eligible to become a soldier or official of the Ming Empire. Of course, there is also the obligation to serve as a soldier to defend the Ming Empire.
Fourth, the Kingdom of Japan could also receive financial support from the Ming Empire for national education, just like the Kazakh Khanate...... Of course, it is a Ming-style compulsory education. It's the kind that requires the educated to pay a certain fee (because the salary of teachers in Japan is low. Therefore, the cost of students is relatively low) of four-year compulsory education. The professor's textbook is exactly the same as that of the Ming Dynasty!
Fifth, the King James Constitution will be fully applicable to Japan within 2o years, and the Kingdom of Japan will need to make its own constitution without violating it. At that time, Japan will achieve legal equality among the four peoples.
The above five points were summarized by later historians of the Kingdom of Japan and are considered to be the key factors in promoting the integration of the Han and the two ethnic groups. The integration of the two nations under the premise of peace, voluntariness and mutual benefit fully embodies the great advantages of the oriental civilization that is easy to unite and integrate, and is the most important factor in the revival and rise of the oriental world......
Oh, this is the Chinese imperialist destruction of Japan n article. It's something extremely reactionary!
Nanjing, in the Japanese settlement outside the Purple Mountain Imperial Palace, inside a Japanese-style house with the Okubo family brand. In the study, the two people looked at each other silently. A letter raft copied with the "Decree of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to Canonize the King of Japan" was spread out on the tatami mats. The owner of the house, Okubo Ritsu, who came to China with Akiko Tokugawa, had a gloomy face and said nothing. Sitting opposite him was a twenty-three or four-year-old woman in a kimono, who still showed her slender figure when she knelt there, and her face was quite delicate, which could be regarded as a beauty. However, her beautiful face was also full of sorrow.
The room was quiet. Only the muffled breathing of two people could be heard.
In the end, it was Okubo Ritsu who sighed. slapped on the raft and sighed deeply: "I really didn't expect it...... The Great Tomorrow's attack is so swift that this is to completely assimilate our country of Japan, and leave no room for it...... This time it's really a gamble for the whole country, if I can't fight a real new Japan, I'm afraid the Yamato clan will be cut off in my hands! Yako, do you think that we people will become sinners in Japan? “
The woman named Yako is the third sister of Okubo Ritsu, 24 years old this year, she went to Nanjing with her mother 1o years ago, and she also completed her elementary and middle school courses at the Purple Mountain Girls' School opened by Shuzi Guifei, and was admitted to the Department of Medicine of Jishi University with excellent results, and after graduation, she became an obstetrician and gynecologist at the Imperial City Hospital, which is actually the imperial doctor. In addition, she also has the status of a waiter. Well, it's Emperor Zhu's little wife! It was Emperor Zhu who went to the Imperial City Hospital for a physical examination once, and saw this good-looking female doctor in obstetrics and gynecology, so he had a lustful heart, and learned that she was not yet married, so he ordered someone to invite her into the palace, and this Miss Mizi didn't say a word, and agreed on the spot......
Seeing her brother's painful appearance, Miko took a deep breath: "Brother, Emperor Ming also asked me to bring you a message, he hopes that you can stay and serve as the minister of the future kingdom of Japan." His Majesty the Emperor greatly appreciates your talents! ”
Okubo Ritsu, the three heroes of the Meiji Restoration, is talented. Zhu Jishi is not completely historical blind, and he also slept with someone's sister, strictly speaking, everyone is a relative, of course, you have to take care of one or two.
Okubo Ritsu said coldly: "How can I be the prime minister of the Kingdom of Japan?" I'm Ieyuki-sama's teacher! I should be with him and go to a new Japan together. If you don't succeed, you will die in a foreign land! ”
Miko's eyes widened and she looked at her brother with admiration, "Brother, I'll accompany you to New Japan!" ”
Okubo waved his hand: "What are you messing around, you are the choice of the Ming Emperor, how can you go to South America with me?" We have a lot of work in Okubo, and we will have to rely on you to take care of it in the future! ”
"Okubo? Brother, what do you mean......" Miko was slightly stunned, Okubo Ritsu has no brothers, only a few sisters, all of whom are already married, and she is the youngest, and she is also the woman of the Ming Emperor. Although the father of the Okubo siblings had two brothers, both died early, leaving only one daughter. Isn't Okubo's family the same as his brother Okubo Ritsu's family?
Okubo Ritsu said with a smile: "It's unpredictable to go to South America, our Satsuma Okubo family is from the famous Fujiwara clan, but we can't just cut it off!" I decided, let Riwa (Okubo Ritsu's eldest son) inherit the governor of the Okubo family, and stay in Nanjing to trouble your sister to take care of you. I'm in New Japan, and I'm going to open a new Okubo House in Japan! “
"Are you going to split the Okubo family in two?"
"That's right, it's split in two...... Not only will our Okubo family be divided into two, but most of the samurai families with some status will do the same, and even the Tokugawa family will arrange it this way. In the future, it will be divided into the Tokugawa family in Japan and the Tokugawa family in New Japan! The governor of the Tokugawa family in Japan will be succeeded by Safu (Tokugawa Keiki), and the governor of the Tokugawa family in new Japan will be Taiko-sama. In this way, even if the development of New Japan is not successful, these famous samurai families will not be cut off. “
As he spoke, Okubo Ritsu, who was missing arms and legs, looked at his sister seriously, "Miko, in the future, Lihe will all depend on you to take care of him, you must let him study hard, be admitted to Jishi University, and get ahead in Daming in the future!" “
Get ahead in Daming? Shouldn't it be Japan? Miko muttered in her heart, but she still agreed with a smile on her face. Taking care of Okubo and Ori is really nothing for her. Although she is not a favorite concubine in the Daming Palace, she is also a very important royal obstetrician and gynecologist, so her face in the palace is very big.
And this kind of family is divided into two, one stays in Japan or simply moves to Daming, and the other goes to South America to open up a new Japan. After the promulgation of the "Decree of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to Canonize the King of Japan" and the "Edict of the King of Japan to Patrol New Japan", it became the only choice for almost all samurai families. The Japanese samurai of this era were not a tendon that had been brainwashed by militaristic ideology in history, and for them, the inheritance and interests of the family were the most important. Even if you want to create a new future for the country, there is no reason to put the whole family on it.
Therefore, since the summer of 1863, there has been a wave of splitting up in Japan! Later historians estimated that about 35 percent of the approximately 20,000 samurai in Japan went on to New Japan in the following years.66 About 60,000,000 civilians also migrated to South America over the next two or three decades.
