Isolated on the sea, Wajima has long developed a narrow-minded, xenophobic, paranoid, and extreme national personality. The Ming army suddenly broke with tradition and invaded the archipelago, and the impact can be imagined.

Soon, a group of young samurai took aim at the Tokugawa shogunate, accusing the shogunate of incompetence, losing power and humiliating the country, and some even proposed to respect the king, let the emperor take charge of the government, revitalize the Wa country, and expel foreign troubles.

There was another group of samurai, who advocated uniting all forces, expelling the Ming army first, and recovering the lost territory.

The two factions of the Japanese kingdom quarreled fiercely, and every day there were samurai fighting privately, and some people ran to the palace to disembowel, making it extremely bloody.

"Dare to love the country is also an expert in internal fighting, and it is better for these people to kill each other and die out." Chu Haitian said proudly.

Chen Minqing didn't see it that way, he said worriedly: "Although these two factions are making trouble, in fact, their goals are to expel our army, but the means are different. Moreover, in my opinion, after all, the Tokugawa shogunate is strong, and it will soon suppress the opposition, and in order to establish its prestige, it will definitely do its best, and within half a year at most, a major war will break out. ”

"Hit it." Chu Haitian said indifferently: "I brought 5,000 men and horses over, plus more than 10,000 horses from the old prince, the prince will continue to transfer troops over, not to mention the little widows, even if it is a Mongolian iron horse, we dare to fight." ”

Chen Minqing smiled, Chu Haitian's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked, "Old Chen, don't you believe my words?" ”

"How dare you!"

Chen Minqing hurriedly surrendered and said with a smile: "I naturally believe that General Chu's combat effectiveness can be solved just by fighting, and the prince will not send me to the kingdom." ”

"Oh?" Chu Haitian rolled his eyelids and asked in surprise, "What else do you have to do?" ”

"Naturally, it is a long-term peace!"

Chen Minqing smiled and took out a handwritten plan, put it on the table, and tapped it gently.

"If you want to turn Kyushu Island into the island of my Han people, it's up to it!"

Half a month after Chen Minqing arrived on Wadao. The official operation began, first of all, he mobilized the army and arrested all the feudal lords and high-ranking samurai on Kyushu Island, except for the Satsuma and Higo domains, with lightning speed.

Nothing else, these people and their families were all reduced to slavery and immediately sent to Tuntian, the island of Taiwan. At the same time, the land and property they left behind was divided into three parts.

One-third of the reward went to Tadashi Shimazu and Nakahiro Kato and their samurai retainers, and the two of them were grateful for such a huge reward. They took all their retainers, knelt in a black oppression, and swore allegiance to the Ming Dynasty and the king of Anton.

What made the two people even more excited was Chen Minqing's announcement that Kagoshima and Nagasaki would be turned into commercial ports, and the ships and goods of the Ming Dynasty would dock in two places. Although the Satsuma and Higo domains were unable to collect customs duties, the large number of merchants of the Ming Dynasty was bound to bring a strong demand.

Inn, cargo station, teahouse. Wine ...... Think with your toes and you can know how profitable it is.

To say that the Celestial Empire is different, it is too generous.

Shimazu and Kato became more and more loyal and dedicated. Take care of the affairs of the island for the Ming Dynasty, eradicate dissidents, maintain local law and order, and recruit people. Collecting taxes is simply two of the most powerful dogs!

Of course, the two of them can't maintain order, and Chen Minqing will have the other third. It was given to the remaining middle and lower rank samurai on the island.

Although the Japanese believe in bushido, they can't help but blush and be enthusiastic in the face of real interests. The former masters have been driven to Taiwan to open up wasteland, what else can they do?

Pick up arms and fight with Daming? What's the difference between that and looking for death? What's more, Daming was so generous, giving them land and grain, from the original small landlord to a medium landlord, what is there to be dissatisfied with.

The gang was also pacified, and the Japanese on the island quickly became honest.

Things have come to this point, and Chen Minqing is finally relieved.

He had already studied that the people of Wadao were deeply servile, and since ancient times, that is, one group of lords defeated another group of lords, and few ordinary people rose up to make trouble, which could not be compared with the magnificent peasant uprising in China at every turn.

Pacify the samurai class, and everything will be easy.

Then there was a big effort to settle the refugees from the country, and the last third of the land was for the immigrants.

After detailed research, Chen Minqing chose the best fertile land, and the geographical location was important, and recruited Japanese people to build the castle.

Referring to the experience of building castles in Liaodong, each castle varies in size, with a maximum of three or five thousand people, and a few of two or three hundred. However, each castle had a three-zhang high wall, a moat on the outside, antlers, artillery on the city, and constant militia patrols.

To put it simply, these castles are nails that drive everywhere. With the existence of these castles, the Japanese people cannot be connected, and once there is a little movement, they will be detected.

Small rebellions can be handled by the soldiers of the castle, and large rebellions, the castle can hold out for a few days, and reinforcements will arrive soon.

Zhang Haichuan did not have the ability to do such a detailed project, and only civilian officials could do it. Three months after Chen Minqing arrived in the Japanese Kingdom, he straightened everything out and wrote a report of more than 100,000 words on the treatment of the Japanese and sent it to Zhang Ke.

"Hehehe, this king has a good eye, this Chen Minqing is really a talent."

However, Yu Weiliang, who had just been sent to Shanhaiguan, looked at it and was quite disapproving, and sneered: "Lord Wang, Chen Minqing is too good to the Japanese Kou." If you don't kill or behead, you will send it to Tuntian, Taiwan, and distribute a large amount of land to Shimazu Tadahiro's gang, I really don't understand. If it were replaced by me, it would be a massacre, and all the would-be wouldn't be ours, so why bother! ”

"So this king doesn't dare to let your brother go to Wadao to toss."

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "After all, Wadao has a population of several million, and killing alone can't solve the problem. Chen Minqing is drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, boiling frogs in warm water. Overseas tuntian is a step by step, one-third of the field is enough to house 500,000 people. On the other side of the island of Taiwan, which has just been developed, there is miasma in the mountains, there are many insects and snakes, and the people have rashly migrated there, and they will die if they are not accustomed to the water and soil. Let the Japanese develop in the front, we will pick up the cheap in the back, when the Japanese will die, the field will naturally be ours, this hand is deep in my heart, deep in my heart! ”

Yu Weiliang blinked his eyes, he really didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns, killing people was not enjoyable, and he would completely squeeze people dry, kicking them away, really, really...... After thinking for a long time, he held back a sentence: "It's so dark!" ”

"Average." Zhang Ke smiled proudly: "It's good to be able to snatch Kyushu Island from the hands of the Japanese State, after all, the Japanese Island is not rich, the next step is to go south, Brother Yu, I want you to lead the army, I don't know if the old brother wants to expand the territory and contribute to the country?" ”

"I've thought about it for a long time!" Yu Weiliang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Since Jiannu was destroyed, I am worried, if there is no war in the future, it will be a waste of life." When there is no one, they all hope that the wild boar skin will suddenly come back to life, and then go to war, it is better than being idle! ”

"This time, my brother can't be idle, he wants to fight, there are battles in this life."

……

Just when Zhang Ke was sharpening his knife, an appointment he had been looking forward to was delayed.

The use of troops overseas is completely different from that at home, from Wajima, to the Ryukyus, to Taiwan's South Seas, and the long sea frontier is no longer a decisive battle of the army, but to be dispersed into countless battlefields, both sea and land, which is very cumbersome. Therefore, Zhang Ke proposed that the imperial court set up a governor, on the one hand, who could preside over the overall situation at sea, and then who could assign coastal provinces to provide materials and personnel to respond.

It was originally a matter of nine out of ten, but it was blocked by the cabinet, and the reason is very simple, that is, the candidate proposed by Zhang Ke is Cui Chengxiu, the economic strategy of Liaodong.

Just kidding, the remnants of the eunuch party can be appointed!

The newly appointed ministers refused to draw up the votes, and also instigated their subordinates to impeach Zhang Ke for harboring the eunuchs and disobeying the holy decree, and wanted Zhang Ke to return to Beijing for trial.

When the news reached Tianjin, Cui Chengxiu, who had just rushed over, looked aggrieved and said to Zhang Ke: "Lord Wang, the lower official originally wanted to share the worries and solve the problems for the prince, but the courtiers did not allow it, and this governor and subordinate official couldn't do it...... Woowoo woo ......"

"Old Cui, don't pretend to be this king, let me tell you, this governor belongs to you." Of course, Zhang Ke knows Cui Chengxiu's character, but he is obedient, his official position is high enough, he is also familiar with the Ming officialdom, he has been a secretary of the military department, he is good at organization and coordination, and his ability and pattern are enough.

Among the entire Zhang Ke's subordinates, except for Cui Chengxiu, there is really no one who is suitable.

In fact, Cui Chengxiu was also deliberately tempted, and when he saw that Zhang Ke sincerely supported him, he immediately showed joy, but he was worried: "Lord, if the court does not agree, I will not be able to mobilize the food and salary sources in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong.
