Chapter 339: Hierarchical Domination

In Li Shan's tent, the corpses of several Dali soldiers were placed on the ground.

The general said: "Your Majesty, this is the third attack in the past half a month. It's all really for the soldiers who go out alone. This was clearly premeditated. But because the killer is hidden among the civilians, it is difficult for us to tell the difference. ”

Li Shan was also angry and said, "Come on, pull out a hundred of our captives and behead them for public display." I will tell them that they will pay back tenfold and hundredfold for the blood we shed. ”

"But Your Majesty, will this cause a riot among the civilians, and now that the opposition of the civilians has become more and more high, if we are causing public outrage, I am afraid it will backfire."

Li Shandao: "Resistance? If we allow them to do so, they will rebel. Since they don't realize the gravity of the matter, it is important for them to understand what they are doing means. ”

The land that Li Shan currently occupies has a population of about 300,000 people, but because of the war, Li Shan can have been captured, and young men around the age of 20 to 30 have basically been captured. Some were taken away by slave ships, some were killed, and some were held in prisoner-of-war camps awaiting the arrival of the next slave ships.

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will do it."

Li Shan said: "Wait a minute, you go and gather all the generals above the commander of a thousand commanders, I have important matters to discuss." ”

More than a dozen officers have gathered into the tent,

Li Shandao: "You should have all seen the current situation these days, although we have defeated these cities, but we have not completely controlled the cities in our hands. The main reason is that we have lost the hearts and minds of the people, or we have never won the hearts of the people. ”

A general said: "Your Majesty, now we will arrest all the young and strong Japanese middle-aged and young people, and almost every household has a male laborer who has been arrested. They may be the head of the family, or they may be the only son of the family, and in any case, our actions will surely cause public outrage. Now there is no way to undo this resentment. ”

Li Shandao: "Redemption? There is no need to redeem. In the short term we may lose some of the hearts and minds of the people, but in the long run it will be very good for us. ”

"But now the people are in turmoil, which is very unfavorable to our rule!"

Li Shandao: "So I have to take more measures, and I will issue a few decrees for you to implement." First of all, the urban area was divided into four classes according to geographical location, and the sergeants of our army lived in the best area; Secondly, set aside an area for rewards, and those who are willing to receive education in everything, and those who obey the orders of our army live in the third class, and everyone else lives in the fourth class, and all the gentry and nobles are equal. ”

The generals didn't understand and asked, "What should we do with another area?" ”

"The second-class areas are used as a strategy for ethnic integration. All the women in the family who are willing to marry the soldiers of our army will be rewarded with a private house, land, money, silk, etc., and live in the second district. There is a distinction between the four regions, with the first and second classes being the highest, the third class being the second, and the fourth class being the last. The people of the superior area have absolute power over the people of the lower area, and the people of the lower area cannot enter the superior area without permission, and there will be no forgiveness for violators. All the people in the fourth class must work, arrange special personnel to be responsible for their labor matters, hand over all the income from labor, and distribute all supplies according to the capitation, regularly and quantitatively. ”

Li Shan borrowed the caste system of India, even if he has great hatred, but the temptation of interests and status will eventually break through the national barrier, and time will make up for everything.

Japan's invasion of China can never achieve national integration, and even if it is integrated, Japan will be integrated, because there are too many Chinese. But now Li Shan has a great advantage, Japan is currently vast and sparsely populated, almost the same as the land area of Dali, but it has a population of less than one million. Dali, after these years of governance, coupled with the annexation of Annan, and because of the improvement of living standards, the superior national welfare policy is completely open to the outside world, attracting many immigrants from the Tang Dynasty.

Now the population of Dali has exceeded two million, and the economy and culture have reached an unprecedented height, so Li Shan did not hesitate to do one thing, to eliminate this nation. And the most effective way is to converge.

In order to maintain the current rule, Li Shan specially sent 10,000 soldiers to Japan, but they were still at sea. Moreover, Li Shan did not transport the looted property resources in Japan back to China at all, in order to completely transform Japan.

During these years, Li Shan successively promulgated regulations and continuously improved measures, and successively abolished the original aristocratic landlord class in Japan. This era in Japan was an era of the rise of the landlord class, a large amount of rich land was occupied by the landlords, and the common people were oppressed by the landlords. The aristocracy and the landlords colluded with each other to divide the interests.

The first thing Lee Shan did when he came here was to confiscate the landlords' land, and all the land was taken over to the military, turning the area south of Osaka into a region without class rule. Subsequently, Li Shanyou took measures to burn books and pit Confucianism, and successively dealt with local schools, religions, temples and other places, and exterminated all traditional culture.

Although this series of actions by Li Shan caused strong dissatisfaction among the locals, riots also broke out. But Li Shan was not afraid, all the bloodshed and sacrifice were necessary, and in just six months, local life had changed drastically. It's completely gone.

At the same time, while overthrowing his previous rule, Li Shan vigorously built schools, cultural centers, hospitals, and so on. The first and second class areas have become similar to Dali, and teachers, doctors, craftsmen, etc. have been mobilized from Dali to live in it. Although there is a lot of hatred brought about by the invasion, the hatred of the nation can be completely inflicted on the individual.

After a series of thunderous means, what Li Shan needs is peace, and only peace can create integration.

Sure enough, the grading system has caused great internal contradictions, because of the worrying living conditions of the fourth-class areas, many people have set their sights on the second- and third-class areas. Especially the previous aristocracy and landlord class, although they also hated the Dali army, but they were pampered and pampered in the fourth class area, and under the threat of their lives, some people gradually began to compromise.

In contrast to the indefinite labor in the fourth district, which is not compensated for the corresponding remuneration, the third district already allows private ownership. All labor is distributed according to work, although the standard of living is not as good as that of the first and second class areas, but it can already meet the life, coupled with the construction of hospitals, schools and other facilities, they also have future expectations. Although he received the education provided by Dali, because Japan has always accepted the culture of the Tang Dynasty, there was no expected rejection.

A year later, the originally empty third-class area was already home to many residents. About 1 in 10 people moved to the third-class district by learning Chinese, declaring their respect for Dali's rule, and reporting rebels in the fourth-class district. The Japanese imperial court, the dispatch of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty did not achieve the expected effect, the Tang Dynasty naturally would not agree to send troops to attack Dali, without the support of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Jimmu did not know how to defeat the Dali army, and could only wait until the five-year period passed.
