"Just a widow, why do you need Your Majesty to recruit in person?"

Hearing that the emperor was going to conquer in person, Yuan Jixian, the first assistant, couldn't help but enter the palace to persuade him, in his opinion, the emperor is best to stay in the capital for the rest of his life, stay in the palace for the rest of his life, and don't go anywhere.

He is one of the few ministers who knows that the emperor often incarnates Guo Wende on weekends, and he can barely accept this, after all, the emperor is the founder of the country, and he usually pays a private visit, as long as he does not go out of Beijing, it is not much of a problem to have guards around him.

But it's different with the royal driver, even if the emperor is a martial artist and immediately takes the world, but now it's different. Now that the emperor is the lord of the world, how can the emperor still run around.

Moreover, once the army is recruited, it will be necessary to mobilize a large number of forbidden troops to accompany the car, and also to bring a large number of palace maids and attendants, and call many ministers to accompany them, which will not only be a huge additional expense, but also disrupt the normal operation of the imperial court.

Besides, Japan is at sea, and if there is a storm or something in the vast sea, the emperor will not be in danger.

Anyway, Yuan Jixian had already made up his mind and resolutely opposed the emperor's personal conquest.

"Actually, it's not a pro-conscription." Liu Jun personally peeled a pear for the teacher. "The teacher eats a pear to extinguish the fire. In fact, the matter is not as serious as you think, and the teacher is completely too worried. ”

The imperial court system is now relatively sound, and after the establishment of various departments one after another, the responsibilities have been clarified, and there is also a perfect supervision system. You can do your own thing without worrying about doing anything wrong.

There are those in charge of administration, finance, justice, and supervision. Liu Jun's management of the empire is actually equivalent to managing a company.

As long as the departments that should be there are sound, and then the heads of each department are properly employed, there is no need to bother the chairman of the board of directors in everything.

Yuan Jixian is the general manager, and he can make decisions about many things within the framework that has been set early.

The imperial court now has money in the treasury. And how the money will be spent has basically been decided a long time ago, the budget has been prepared early, and it has passed the review. This year, the main direction of the imperial court has been decided, the big projects have been decided, and even the money has been prepared.

Now it is just that Yuan Qiangxian needs to guard the imperial court and keep an eye on the various departments of the imperial court to continue to operate properly. In this regard, even if Liu Jun went to Japan, he could still deliver news through a special messenger.

The big things have already been decided, and the small things can be decided by the first assistant, therefore. There's no need to worry about it at all.

As for saying that it costs a lot of money to pro-levy, Liu Jun also thinks that there is no need for too many additional expenses at all. He didn't plan to bring many eunuchs or palace maids, just bring a few eunuchs who were responsible for handling confidential secretarials from the celebrant eunuch. There is no need to bring a lot of imperial doctors and kitchens, there are already imperial doctors in the army, and there is no shortage of cooks.

The guards and pro-army are coming, but they don't need too much, and they don't need to get a dozen or two hundred thousand people at all at a price. He is not Emperor Suiyang, Emperor Suiyang likes to take many people when he is touring the west. encountered a snowstorm, and as a result, tens of thousands of palace maids froze to death at once.

To patrol the south of the Yangtze River, you have to have countless dragon boats, and almost all the eunuchs and palace maids in the Luoyang Palace have been brought along. The concubines also accompanied the car.

It is enough to bring 5,000 guards, and when you leave Tianjin, there is also a navy escort. Those troops were also built up by him, isn't it worth believing?

The Royal Task Force in the Bohai Bay. However, there were two detachments, both of which were strong in terms of rank and number of ships. This task force is full of the most loyal and trustworthy nine-headed birds selected from various levels.

As for the additional cost of the soldiers and horses mobilized by Liu Jun when he went out on patrol. Liu Jun can completely pull money out of his own internal money. He has a very full treasury, and there is no need to go through budgeting and auditing to pull money from there.

And Yuan Jixian is worried about the storm and other safety issues, Liu Jun is not worried, with the strength of the fleet, even if it is really unexpected to encounter a storm, it is not so serious, besides, under normal circumstances, there will be people in the navy who observe the sky and predict the weather, and general storms and other situations can be known and avoided in advance.

It is not the first time Liu Jun has gone to sea, a few years ago he fought both Japan and the East China Sea.

"But everything is going well on the Japanese side, there is no war yet, and there are already daimyo annexed, so why does Your Majesty want to conquer it in person?" Yuan Jixian was puzzled.

"I think the situation on the Japanese side is better than we expected, I am ready to go there in person, I can understand the situation there in a more timely and accurate manner, if things are really as I estimated, then the imperial court may have to make some adjustments to Japan's strategic deployment."

Yuan Jixian still couldn't keep up with the emperor's rhythm, he didn't understand, what situation couldn't be asked by the navy to investigate and then report?

"Your Majesty plans to adjust your strategy towards Japan, how to adjust it?"

Yuan Jixian sometimes feels very tired, the emperor can often think of a play, although it is often proved that the emperor is indeed right, but this kind of tossing always makes him feel like an old man following the young man to climb the mountain, unable to keep up with the pace, tired.

"Your Majesty promised the Nabeshima clan's million-stone territory, is it not ready to implement the Mongolian feudal system in Japan as well?"

"Of course not!" Liu Jun replied without hesitation that the Japanese were not qualified enough to enjoy the treatment of the Mongols. The sub-feudal system for the Mongols, it was tailor-made. According to the characteristics of the Mongolian steppe and the characteristics of the Mongolian tribes, as well as their close proximity to the northern frontier of the Han Empire, the feudal system can benefit the Mongolian tribes a lot, so that the Han Dynasty completely cages these people into their hands.

But why do Japanese people enjoy this kind of treatment?

If the Mongols can't handle it well, they will come to rob and make trouble. But the Japanese are separated by a sea, and now is not the time of Jiajing, even if the Japanese are Japanese criminals, they have no chance.

Since the Japanese can't threaten the Han, they will naturally not be so polite to them.

The promise to Nabeshima is only because he is the most knowledgeable about current affairs.

Nabeshima's submission allowed Liu Jun to see a better solution to Japan. The original plan was to directly and gradually devour, attack by force, conquer Japan, and then replace it, move the Japanese out, and then move the Han people to Japan.

However, conquest by force is not a cure, especially when one nation conquers another nation by force, it is certainly easy to encounter resistance. Just like when Japan invaded Korea, Korea was about to be destroyed, but it still refused to surrender.

On the other hand, Japan is also a country in the Confucian cultural sphere, and their national heart is similar to that of China. The Japanese themselves have been able to fight for hundreds of years, and they are a very aggressive people.

If there is a simpler way of strength. Of course, Liu Jun didn't want to go around the mountains on Japanese islands all day long to arrest people.

Liu Jun also peeled a pear for himself, the pear tasted good, and the water was abundant and sweet.

"What do you think would happen if there were a few more daimyo lords of Nabeshima who were willing to join us?"

Yuan Jixian thought about it, the Saga domain is a big domain, but even if there are a few more such domains, it won't change the overall situation much, Japan has nearly 300 domains, just one Kyushu. There are more than 20 feuds.

Liu Jun laughed, "Teacher, you should think about it from a different angle, for example, if there are a few more feudal lords like the Saga Domain's Nabeshima clan, then we don't have to attack and take it hard, but we can completely change our names." ”

"A change of name?"

Yuan Jixian's mind turned, and he immediately thought of the emperor's plan.

The emperor is really calculating, wishful thinking.

"Does the teacher think it's feasible?"

"If there are only one or two people, it will definitely not work, but as long as there are four or five feudal lords who are obedient. This is a great way to go. ”

"Since there is a Nabeshima, there will be a second Nabeshima, although there will never be a shortage of loyal ministers and filial sons in this world. There is also no shortage of wall grass that makes the wind make the rudder. This part of Japan is very interesting, but in the Central Plains, where one or two provinces are large, it turns out that it can be divided into hundreds of feudal lords, and they can fight against each other at every turn. ”

Of course. Even more interesting is the Japanese shogunate system.

The Edo Shogunate of the Tokugawa clan was not the founder of the shogunate, and before the Edo shogunate, there were already two shogunates, the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate. About four hundred years ago. That is, during the Southern Song Dynasty in China, the military commander Minamoto Yoritomo defeated the Taira Kiyomori clan, the real power of the aristocratic class, at the end of the Heian Dynasty, and established the Kamakura shogunate.

From then on, the emperor became the nominal supreme ruler of Japan, but in reality he was only a puppet of the shoguns.

In fact, the Heian period began after Emperor Kanmu moved the capital from Heijo-kyo (i.e. Nara) to Heian-kyo, i.e., Kyoto. But since the middle of the Heian period, the Japanese imperial family has been decadent and has lost real power.

Since then, the Imperial Family, known as the Eternal Lineage, has taken the path of decay and has been manipulated by others.

From the Fujiwara clan regime, through the Taira clan, Kamakura shogunate, Muromachi shogunate, and Toyotomi regime to the current Edo shogunate, the emperor has no power.

The emperor lived a miserable life in Kyoto, and it has been seven or eight hundred years since the emperor lived.

The Fujiwara, Taira, and Toyotomi clans were still Sekihaku regents, while the three shogunates of Kamakura, Muromachi, and Edo were entirely ruled by shoguns.

The shogun of the shogunate, whose power was completely above the emperor.

The shogun is also known as the shogun of Seiyi, also known as the shogun. If the power of the shogun is great, it is about comparable to Cao Cao, the prime minister in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the emperor of the shogunate era is as miserable as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The Emperor of Japan at this time was a young female emperor.

The Emperor of Japan is said to have been one hundred and nine. Today's emperor is also known as Empress Akimasa, there are many empresses in Japan, especially before the Heian Dynasty, it is the era of female dominance, Empress Akimasa is the seventh female emperor of Japan.

However, the female emperor who succeeded to the throne at the age of seven, in fact, she cannot be compared with the previous female emperors in the political arena, and her actual identity is at most equivalent to the priestess of the shrine, and she has no power at all.

Empress Meisho was the daughter of Emperor Gomizuo, and his mother, Genkazuko, was the daughter of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun of the Edo shogunate. Ming Zheng's young name is Xingzi, so he was also called Prince Xingzi before he ascended the throne.

During the Edo shogunate period, the power of the Japanese emperor was even weaker, and according to the regulations established by the Tokugawa shogunate, the emperor gave priority to the cultivation of learning and the mastery of waka, which was in effect to restrict the emperor's interference in politics. The only recognized right in the Emperor's possession was the Emperor's right to determine the name of the era according to the rules of the dynasty.

Koko is the granddaughter of the Tokugawa family, and she was born with two older brothers, but neither of them grew up.

When Xingzi was seven years old, because the puppet emperor was too aggrieved under the control of the shogunate, Emperor Gomizuo was powerless to resist, so he simply announced his abdication.

As a result, the grandson of the Tokugawa family, Prince Kokonai, was able to ascend the throne and became the 109th Emperor of Japan, Emperor Akisho. This year Xingzi was seven years old, eleven years ago.

However, this female emperor is purely a decoration, not to mention that she is just the granddaughter of the Tokugawa family, even if she is the daughter of the Tokugawa family, she can't change this result.

"What an aggrieved Japanese emperor!" Liu Jun shook his head and sighed.

Yuan Jixian thought to himself, this is someone's internal affairs, what do we do.

Liu Jun did not agree with his attitude, "My Han is a **** country, and Japan once presented me with a letter of state, and since then it has been a vassal state of my Han Dynasty." I also gave Koko the title of King of Japan, as well as the Golden Seal of the King of Japan. ”

"Japan is a vassal state of the Holy Han, and the Queen of Japan is my courtier, and now the Tokugawa family of Japan is stealing Japan's national politics and overthrowing the Queen of Japan, how can I sit idly by? I must uphold justice for the Queen of Japan, fight against the unsubsalaging Tokugawa clan for Japan, and call on all the loyal feudal lords of Japan to rise up together to defeat the Edo Shogunate and return the Queen of Japan. ”

Listening to Liu Jun's righteous look, the corners of Yuan Jixian's mouth twitched.

The Japanese shogunate has a history of hundreds of years, and this has become a Japanese characteristic, so let's care what we do. Besides, you yourself are a usurper and emperor, how can you still say this in such a high-profile manner?

However, he vomited in his heart, but Yuan Jixian understood that this was indeed a good reason to interfere in Japan's national affairs.

If in the name of crusading against the shogunate, returning the queen, and upholding justice for the vassal states, this is a righteous dispatch. Of course, it would be better if there were still a few loyal feudal lords, loyal, and raised troops to crusade against the Tokugawa clan, and then if they took the initiative to ask the suzerain Han to send troops for support, then the Han army would be more full of justice.

A battle of conquest can become a war of justice. A war of aggression can also turn into a civil war for the Japanese.

Liu Jun knows very well that this change is actually extremely important. If it is a war of invasion and conquest, it may face desperate resistance from all over Japan, and some people may even fight to the death. But if it becomes a war against the curtain and becomes a Japanese civil war, and the Han army is just reinforcements, then the nature will be different.

With a few obedient feudal lords, make a curtain army come out, and make a noise, then you can easily divide a large number of Japanese resisters.

"Your Majesty really plans to support the curtain and return to the Queen of Japan?"

Liu Jun smiled, "Let's fight against the Tokugawa shogunate and his fellow party first!" ”

Once the Han army set foot on the Japanese archipelago, it was easy to invite the gods and difficult to send them. (To be continued.) )
