To the southeast of Edo Castle is Edo Bay, and there was originally a small harbor near the coast, but since the arrival of the Ming fleet, the small harbor has become too crowded, so under the orders of Shen Zhou, the servant army has recently captured countless Japanese to work in the port and expand the size of the port.

"Brother Anliang, look at these widows, their movements are too slow, it took three months, and the entire port has not been able to expand the berths for warships, they are all things that only eat and don't work!" On top of the battleship, Shen Zhou, who had just returned from his inspection, pointed to the dense Japanese people working in the port, and said with a resentful expression, the warships of their fleet were too huge, and the port of Edo was too small to allow the battleships to dock, and every time they needed small boats to transport people or goods back and forth.

Li Anliang followed Shen Zhou's fingers and looked at the muddy and skinny widows on the port, and his face did not show any unbearable color, but smiled and said: "Brother God, don't complain, under the management of the overseer, these widows need to work for eight hours every day to rest, and they can only eat two meals of sweet potato rice a day, this is already the limit of these widows, if they continue to squeeze it, there will be a large number of deaths, and then they will have to bother the servants to arrest people." ”

As soon as Li Anliang's words fell, he heard a series of screams suddenly coming out of the working widows, and when Shen Zhou and Li Anliang looked up, they found that several widow supervisors were beating a widow laborer to the death, although the laborer was covered in mud and water, and he could not tell the age of the other party, but from the sound of the other party's screams, it could be distinguished, and the person who was beaten should be a young widow.

"Brother God. These people are really strange. We are just dividing the Japanese into three classes. Use the Japanese of the previous level to manage the Japanese of the next level, and as a result, these Japanese people are like crazy, and the upper level is crazy to the lower level, and everyone is very cruel, without the slightest friendship of the same race, do you say that these Japanese people are cruel by nature? Li Anliang watched the overseers beating the laborers, and still said with an indifferent face, this kind of thing happens every day in the port. And the overseer is also to speed up the progress of the project, so he naturally will not interfere.

"Hehe, I don't dare to say anything else, but these Japanese people are indeed the most murderous people I have ever seen, they are not only cruel to others, but also very cruel to themselves, such a people is the best to use as thugs!" Shen Zhou also smiled after hearing this.

After Shen Zhou conquered Edo and the surrounding area by force, Li Anliang immediately began to govern the area, which he already had experience in Korea, so it went very well.

For example, one of the most important policies implemented by Li Anliang in Edo and other places. It was to divide the Japanese people under his rule into three classes, and the first class was the Japanese officials and their families who helped them govern Edo and other places. In addition, there are also servant soldiers and their families, they are the highest status group except for the Han Chinese, with all kinds of privileges, the second class is the ordinary people who have submitted to them before, and the third class is the laborers who were captured in the port, they do not belong to the Japanese people under the Ming Dynasty, and naturally they are not protected in any way, even if the second class of the Japanese kill the third class of the Japanese people, they only need to be punished a little.

For this method of dividing the Japanese people into three classes, Li Anliang called it the use of Japanese to govern the Japanese people, after all, most of the troops they brought were armies, which were only suitable for warfare, and could not be used to govern the local area at all, and the number of Japanese people was also dozens of times that of them, so in this case, Li Anliang naturally thought of promoting a group of Japanese people, and then using Japanese people to govern Japanese people, so that they only needed to manage the top Japanese people.

In addition, after dividing the Japanese people into three levels, it is easy to build antagonistic emotions between the Japanese people of each level, so that the Japanese people of all levels hate each other, and the purpose of dividing the Japanese people is achieved, and the number of the Japanese people at the top is the least, and if they want to maintain their dominant position, they can only hug the thighs of the Ming Dynasty tightly, which is more conducive to the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the Japanese country.

With the beating of the overseers from the second class, the screams of the Japanese boy became lower and lower, and finally quietly, while those Japanese overseers dragged the young man's legs with a smile, and then threw them directly into the big pit dug on the construction site, and soon this big pit would be filled, which could be regarded as the last contribution that the other party could do to the port.

For those Japanese overseers' cruelty to the Japanese laborers, Li Anliang and they were a little unaccustomed to it at first, after all, what these Japanese people did was almost beyond the limit that civilized people could bear, but in the eyes of the Japanese people, it was very normal, so in this case, Li Anliang and Shen Zhou's bottom line was getting lower and lower, and even after that, they began to appreciate the cruelty of those Japanese overseers, after all, under their supervision, not only the progress of the project has been accelerated a lot, At the same time, the last vestige of the value of the laborers was also squeezed cleanly, and there was no waste at all.

Shenzhou's flagship slowly approached the port, but because the draft of this battleship was too deep, it was not possible to get close to the port for the time being, so it could only stop a few dozen steps away from the port, and then the two went ashore in a small boat, and walked through the busy port to the residence of the two in Edo, which was also their office.

A beautiful widow sent tea, Shen Zhou and Li Anliang drank it all, sat on the boat for a long time, and shouted with the Qiu Ba on the boat for a long time, and now they are naturally very thirsty, but after Shen Zhou put down the teacup, he immediately said to Li Anliang: "Brother Anliang, the order of the Governor has come down, and I will leave with the fleet in a few days, and there will only be a small number of officials left here, as well as 10,000 Korean soldiers, plus the 50,000 Japanese servant army you have formed, how about it, Do you have the confidence to help the court defend this place? ”

"Hehe, although the god brother can rest assured, after this period of blows, all the forces around him have been scared by us, even if the fleet leaves, they don't dare to make a mistake, not to mention that I still have 60,000 troops in my hands, this kind of strength even if the Zhou heavy Japanese daimyo are united, they can't take out so many troops, so even if the god brother leaves, Edo will be handed over to the brother!" Li Anliang said with a smile.

"Ha Luha, this is also true, but the little brother I am too careful, but some time ago we almost beat all the big names around us, although this makes them already know how powerful we are, but after all, they have also formed hatred, so if the little brother leaves, Brother An Liang is not going to shrink his forces, try not to provoke those big names again, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Although Shen Zhou said that he was too careful, he still had some uneasy advice after the end, after all, Edo was something he spent a lot of effort to fight, and it was also an important certificate for his future promotion, so he naturally didn't want to see Edo have an accident.

"Ha Lu Ha ~ , Brother God, you are wrong, if you leave with the fleet, not only can I not shrink my troops, but I will also send troops everywhere, and it is even better to destroy a certain daimyo around it, and do the arrogant posture to the end, after all, those Japanese people are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, if you are too weak, they will not hesitate to pounce on you and tear you to pieces, only the tougher you behave, they will show their deferential side, even if I put those famous wives, they will not say anything!" Li Anliang obviously disagreed with Shen Zhou's opinion, but put forward his own opposite opinion.

Shen Zhou was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Anliang's words, and then he had to nod and said: "This is the negligence of the younger brother, these Japanese people have always been afraid of power and not virtuous, the more we oppress them, the more they dare not resist, on the contrary, if we show a trace of transmission, but they will be regarded as weak, which seems to us before It is really a bit incredible, but this may be the way of survival of the Japanese people, that is, there can be no mercy to them, On the contrary, we must be tougher than them everywhere, and only in this way can they respect and fear us! ”

Speaking of this, Shen Zhou stood up and saluted Li Anliang and said: "Brother An Liang really deserves to be valued by the Governor, and he sees the temperament of the Japanese people much more clearly than the younger brother, and the younger brother has also benefited a lot from this. ”

For Shen Zhou's praise, Li Anliang also smiled and said: "Brother God is too modest, Li is just a general, where can he compare to Brother God's family lineage, and he is deeply valued by the Governor, as long as this mission of the Wa Kingdom is done well, he will definitely become a general in charge in the future, and in the future, there will be a God Admiral in the army of the Governor's Palace, and there will be a general like Brother God fighting outside, and both father and son are generals of our dynasty, and it will definitely become a good story for a while!" ”

Naturally, everyone loves to listen to compliments, especially Shen Zhou has long wanted to get rid of his father's influence and become a general in his own right, and now he hears Li Anliang praise him and his father Shen Zhou in the same position, which just scratched his itch, making Shen Zhou also laugh, although he was humble again and again, saying that he did not dare to compare with his father, but the look on his face had betrayed him.

A few days later, the well-equipped fleet, led by Shen Shu, left Edo Bay again to complete the new mission given to them by Zhou Shige. However, when Shen Zhou left, he still left two warships for Li Anliang, and secretly told the other party that if there was really a big change in Edo, and he couldn't suppress it, then let all the Han officials board the warships and leave, after all, for the governor's palace, the safety of these officials was far more important than Edo.
