Chapter 558 The General is Mingjun, Japan Wants Land Reform The Fifth Update

The fifth is offered, and then vote for Rolls Roy, rolling all over the ground and selling cute

"General Ben personally led the troops to reinforce Satsuma!"

The Tokugawa family retainers in the main hall all had a feeling of excitement when they saw the old Tokugawa shogun wearing the armor left by his ancestors and holding a sword in his hand. It seems that this person in the main hall is not Tokugawa Iekei, but Tokugawa Ieyasu.

However, Masahiro Abe, Naobi Ii and others, who know the ability of Daodao Kawa Jiakei to lead the troops, are somewhat worried. This shogun had never fought before, and Matsudaira Kanyu, Sakuma Zozan, Saigo Takanaga and others who were relied on by the general as the support of the Great Wall also had no actual combat experience. Even Saigo, who had seriously attended the Military Academy of Jishi University (which has now been merged with the Army Military Academy), had only been an instructor in the Ming Kingdom for a few years.

In addition, Sakuma Koyama's strategy of "deceitful surrender and lure the enemy" did not sound very reliable, and let the 5,000 Satsuma army lead the Lucia fleet into the Kinai, and also pretended to have an edict from the emperor to crusade against the shogunate. Who knows if the fake will come true?

That's the Satsuma clan that has always been in harmony with the shogunate!

Tokugawa Iekei was full of confidence, and he glanced at the people in the main hall: "Since the Emperor was appointed by Yasugong to open the shogunate, the Tokugawa family governor has been the shogun of the Seiyi for generations, and it is the mission of the Tokugawa family to protect the country of Japan, and it is the duty of the shogun to sei. On the occasion of these eventful times both inside and outside, the Tokugawa family and Shogun should shoulder their responsibilities without hesitation, even if they die on the battlefield! Gentlemen, follow me to kill the enemy and repay the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Hay!"

The courtiers of the Tokugawa family hurriedly bowed to the ground.

The general sighed and sat down with the help of the little surname. For today's "performance". He didn't know how many times Lu Dao had rehearsed in the Great Olympics, although he knew that Lu Dao didn't have much talent, but now the whole of Japan is looking forward to Ming Jun, how can he perform as a general of Zhengyi. Otherwise, the whole world would know that he was a faint king, and the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate would be in suspense.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news for you." Tokugawa Qizhao, who served as the elder, took over the topic and said, "The Ming Emperor has decided to send the guards here, and he also sent 10,000 Bese Maiyang guns, 100 cannons, and 1 million bullets. will also welcome the palace as a concubine! ”

Hear the word "welcome". The Tokugawa retainers in the main hall couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Acceptance" and "marrying" are not the same concept. It is the main room that marries home, and the side room that enters the door. It doesn't matter if Tokugawa Saiaki's daughter was a side room for Zhu Jishi before, after all, Zhu Jishi is the king of a country, and Tokugawa Saiaki is just the former lord of the Mito Domain. There is too much difference in status. So there is no shame in Tokugawa Akiko becoming Zhu Jishi's side room. But now it's Prince Shukonai. The fact that the emperor's daughter gave the Ming Emperor a side chamber did not mean that Japan's national character was lowered and that the Ming Dynasty was recognized as a superior country. Is the status of the Emperor of Japan inferior to that of the Ming Emperor?

Although this is an obvious fact, it is one thing to know the Tao and another thing to admit it. You must know that the poor and the heavenly emperor marry their daughters, and they all use the word "marrying". Now he is actually a little wife to the Ming Emperor, this is not a "marriage", it is simply a price reduction sale.

"Lord Naka-sama (Tokugawa Saiaki's official position), may I ask if those foreign guns and cannon bullets were given to the shogunate or the imperial court?" Masahiro Abe suddenly thought of a question, Zhu Jishi's "acceptance" of the Shu Palace, these arms are considered bride price, and they should be given to the Heavenly Emperor!

"Of course, it was given to the Emperor, but the shogunate can borrow it." Tokugawa Qizhao said solemnly, "And the combination of public and military forces is already the general trend, after the victory of the battle against the dew, we should start to promote this matter, and then we will naturally form a guard division." ”

Borrow? It's whimsical. Masahiro Abe said that the imperial court would not form its own guards? Now there are not 100,000 but 80,000 samurai ronins gathered in Kinai, all clamoring to defend the imperial court and defend the emperor, and if the imperial court gets foreign guns and cannons aided by the Ming Kingdom, it will not be easy to pull up a division?

If the imperial court has force and then colludes with the Satsuma Domain, the world of the Tokugawa family will be hanging!

"It is imperative to combine public and military forces! The Shogunate must prove its worth on the battlefield! Tokugawa Qizhao straightened up and said, "As long as the shogun can lead Japan to defeat the Lucia Kingdom, the combination of public and military forces will be dominated by the shogunate, and now is the time for me and other Tokugawa retainers to fight for it!" ”

Tokugawa Iekei stood up again with the support of the little surname (Tokugawa Ieyasu's armor was too heavy), holding the hilt of the sword, wanting to make himself look more majestic: "The order goes down, Edo Castle will be guarded by Tokugawa Qizhao, and all relatives and generations must send troops to help in the war!" The 1st Division of the Shogunate Army went with Shogun Moto! There are cowards, beheaded! ”

The retainers of the Tokugawa family received orders one after another, and the shouts shook Edo Castle slightly.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Wu Chunqiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had been ordered to lead the team to Japan, Major General Shi Dakai, deputy commander of the First Division of the Jinyi Guards, and Lao Sheng Haizhou, a member of the Yokohama clan of Japan, were listening to Emperor Zhu's instructions in the palace.

“…… In the past, I once wrote "The Theory of the Founding of the First Army", in which it was said: The way to rise up is to strengthen the army first, and after the army is strong, it should be safe and secure, and then the country can be safe. At present, Japan has been strengthening its army for four or five years, and this campaign to resist Russia is the time to test the effect of strengthening the army. If the ability to defeat Russia, Japan will have completed the first step of the first step of the founding of the Songun army, and of course the strengthening of the army must continue, but it is time for Annei to start. I also have a lot of experience in how to make peace inside, and I think I can make one or two suggestions to the shogunate and the Japanese court.

The way of peace lies in win-win, the so-called win-win, is to take care of the interests of all parties, so that they can unite as one, and this is the case with the karma of my Ming recovery. And the key to the use of the country's own theory also lies in this. The so-called foundation is not only an idea or a doctrine, but also a benefit. The foundation of China lies in scholars, so the interests of scholars must be taken care of, otherwise things will not be done. The foundation of Japan lies in the samurai, so the interests of bushido must be taken care of. Otherwise, the combination of public and military forces is just empty talk. After thinking about how to take care of the samurai, I felt that the samurai's ownership of the land should be recognized. Ownership and dominion were separated, the samurai owned the land, and the imperial court collected taxes......"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean......" Sheng Haizhou looked at Zhu Jishi with some confusion.

The land system in Japan under the Tokugawa shogunate was different from that in China, and it was a "feudal land ownership system" in the true sense of the word, and theoretically only feudal lords could receive land from the lord in return for their ranks. Ordinary Japanese peasants, on the other hand, were somewhere between serfs and tenants, and two-thirds of their labor income had to be paid as annual tribute, and they could only get one-third of it, so it was extremely difficult for the peasants to survive.

The so-called "feudal land ownership system" that is now practiced in China is actually a capitalist land ownership system, because except for a small number of nobles and nobles who owned land that Zhu Jishi "sealed," the vast majority of landlords' land was bought. Moreover, in theory, the landlord could only manage the land and had no right to manage the peasant households who rented the land. This is completely different from the situation in Japan, where the feudal lords were not only the owners of the land but also the masters of the peasants, and it was legitimate and legal to hack the peasants to death. This is the real feudal land ownership! However, there is no difference between China's model of buying land and renting land and buying houses and collecting rent in later generations, and it cannot be said that buying a house and collecting rent is in line with N representatives, and buying land and collecting rent will bring down the ground and become a pariah. Of course, the exploitation of the peasants by the landlords is another matter, and the fact that the wealthy people in China are keen to invest in land and real estate, thus precipitating a large amount of capital into land and real estate, and restricting the development of industry and commerce.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi smiled and said: "Shengqing, I think Japan should reform the land ownership system according to the model of the Ming Dynasty, and transfer the samurai's ruling power over the people to the future government of the public and military alliance under the condition of recognizing the samurai's ownership of the land, so as to transform Japan into a politically unified and civilized country." This method is more advantageous to the Japanese samurai, especially the high-ranking samurai, for example, the Tokugawa clan will be able to own more than 20% of Japan's arable land in the future, and can collect millions of silver dollars in land rent every year!
