On the same day, Datang officially established the Toei Overseas Consulate in Edo, and the original Ou Overseas Consulate was incorporated into the Toei Overseas Consulate, which governed Ou, Kanto, Kansai, Shikoku, and Kyushu provinces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The island of Hokkaido still belongs to the overseas territory of Goodway, which is fundamentally a clear line with Japan.

The conditions for the establishment of the new overseas consulate were still very good, and due to the military operations of the Tang Dynasty, the shogunate and the major names had basically broken the rule of various places. As the main fighting force of Japan, most of the samurai have been controlled by the Tang Army because of their participation in the war. And the social organization of grassroots Japan was also on the verge of collapse because the samurai class was hit hard by the Tang Army.

After the establishment of the overseas consulate of Datang Dongying, a series of new laws and policies were promulgated immediately. Basically, a series of frameworks and policies of the Toei Overseas Territory are inherited from the previous Okuba Overseas Territory. The Ou Overseas Domain has been established for many years, and the original feudal system has been completely eliminated in the territory, and the original samurai class has either joined the Yamato Corps to serve in the army, or has become government civil servants, and there are also merchants or farmers.

In fact, what Datang has implemented in various overseas territories is this model of abolishing the feudal system and implementing a more elaborate modern administrative system. In some areas, the social situation may be more backward, so the difficulty is low, but in a country like Japan, the feudal system has developed to a peak, and it is still more difficult to carry out reforms. Of course, due to the violent approach adopted by the Tang Dynasty, most of the vested interests have become the targets of the revolution, so there is relatively little resistance.

When the Tang Dynasty turned around, the number of troops of the various feudal domains and shogunates who were being detained by the Tang army was as high as 170,000, not counting the samurai and daimyo who were relatively high-status, these people were placed under solitary house arrest or in a state of personal freedom, and the main ones who were under centralized supervision were ordinary soldiers such as Ashigaru. There are now almost 400,000 samurai in Japan. Most of these people are out of work and need to be supported by ordinary people.

How to deal with the large number of captives, and how to deal with the samurai class, was also a problem for the Tang Dynasty. Paiknan will not be like the other American, who disbanded the Republican Guard directly after the Iraq War, and many of these servicemen who lost their jobs eventually became terrorists. It has also brought untold disasters to Iraq. Bai Nan also knew very well that if these samurai were let go casually, they would be transformed into ronins on the streets, because they had lost their original allegiance and had no reliable way to make a living, which would cause great instability to Japanese society.

And the Tang Dynasty does not need to form such a large-scale Yamato corps for the time being, and this part of the samurai is not all suitable for war. You must know that after the Meiji Restoration, Japan only formed a standing army of 30,000 people, which has something to do with Japan's poor finances. But it also shows that the Meiji government's elite military line did not require too many useless samurai.

Datang doesn't need so many troops for the time being, the size of its regular Tang army is expanding, and the Latin Corps in Mexico is also being organized, and Datang doesn't expect any war that requires a large number of troops to break out somewhere, so even if the Yamato Corps will expand to a certain extent, the scale will not be particularly large.

The military finally decided to reorganize the Yamato Corps so that it had three full divisions of more than 70,000 men. In the military establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the division is a large establishment. Above the brigade, it is not often used. It is also because the scale of Datang's campaign is actually limited, and its own military strength is not so much, so it needs a large number of units. However, with the development of military needs, the Tang Dynasty has also slowly put forward the call for the establishment of additional divisions to enhance the combat strength of the Tang Army at the campaign level.

The Yamato Corps division will consist of two infantry brigades, plus a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, and a logistics support regiment. The infantry brigade has four infantry regiments, plus division headquarters and regimental headquarters troops, with a total strength of 25,000 men in each division. Those who know military history through the crowd can immediately see that this kind of establishment is actually similar to the division and regiment establishment of the Japanese army in another face.

The three divisions were named the Daiwa First Division, the Daiwa Second Division, and the Daiwa Third Division. Among them, the Yamato Second Division will be directly organized in Southeast Asia with the troops of the Yamato Corps originally stationed in Southeast Asia. The 1st and 3rd Divisions will be formed in Japan. The military conducts strict assessments and drills for samurai and other conscripts who are interested in joining the army, and those who pass can enter the Yamato Corps.

When this news was released to those who were captured or other samurai, a considerable number of people hoped to get rid of the status of prisoners, and of course, there were some people who were not enthusiastic or refused to serve the Tang Dynasty at all. In short, in addition to the retired soldiers of the old Yamato Corps, which had retired more than 20,000 people, the entire newly organized Yamato Corps will recruit more than 40,000 people into the corps.

In the end, it turned out that more than 100,000 Japanese samurai competed for these 40,000 places. Although the shogunate fell, the emperor fell, and the daimyo fell, the samurai still wanted to pursue a glorious career in warfare and needed a loyal object. At least most of the samurai were educated, and many were even proficient in Chinese, and the Ministry of Defense was still very much looking forward to the reorganization of the Yamato Corps, hoping to become an important part of the Tang Army's operations in the future.

However, for the control of Japan, the Tang Dynasty did not dare to relax in the slightest, only by completely turning Japan into a part of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty could sit back and relax, and as a foreign ruler, the Japanese opposition to the Tang Dynasty may appear at any time, and the Yamato Corps itself is not necessarily worthy of full trust, especially in this environment in Japan. Therefore, the Datang Ministry of Defense took the Army Folding Chong Regiment as the cornerstone and organized the 16th Brigade of the Datang Army in Japan to defend Japan. And the 16th Brigade of the Don Army will undoubtedly be a mechanized unit to maintain an advantage over the troops of the Yamato Corps.

In addition to the expansion of the Yamato Corps, other placements for Japanese samurai were also launched. Datang doesn't want to see the trouble caused by idle ronins, so basically a large number of samurai groups, some of the more capable and talented will be selected to serve in overseas governments, or sent to Datang to study. Some of them will be uniformly arranged into different jobs, the Datang has nationalized the samurai's land, except for a few that have been reserved exclusively, most of it has been redistributed, and the rural cooperatives promoted in Ou will also be fully implemented in Japan, some samurai will be devolved into farmers, and some may also work in the industrial and commercial enterprises run by the Datang. Of course, in the end, if such a large warrior population is really digested, the Tang Dynasty can still immigrate them to other places. (To be continued.) )
