Chapter 767: The Ultimate Goal

Businessmen are a high-risk group of people with bad human nature, and if they are left alone, any country will be in shambles. This is not speculation, but historical fact. From another point of view, if we do not violently crack down on the evil side of human nature, the moral standard of the entire human society will fall below the bottom line.

The social structure and moral system of the Ming Dynasty was sufficient to suppress the merchants, but not in Japan. Even if businessmen make Japan miserable, Chen Xie will not be too dissatisfied, the key is not to open this opening. This involves a problem of rule-making and rule-maintenance, Chen Xie wants to formulate a rule, and then this rule has the ability to keep pace with the times and improve itself.

At the heart of the matter is that everyone has to follow the rules, and if they exceed that rule, they must be punished.

All the businessmen didn't dare to speak, and bowed their heads to avoid Chen Xie's eyes. However, it is not possible to plug the ears.

"I know you're resentful and think you don't get something in return. So may I ask you, is it really not rewarded? Or did my intelligence officers lie to me? Song Zhao, on the route from Huating to Sakai Port, you should have three boats, and now it has become six, what's going on? How do you explain the three new shops you bought in Sakai Port? And you, Kong Ning, can you explain who you were talking to last night? And you, Zhang He, I heard that you have taken on a new concubine. Oh, by the way, I didn't notice that the people of the Zheng family are also there, the Dongying route is the traditional advantageous route of the Zheng family, and it hasn't developed much over the years, this brother of the Zheng family, are you a pity? Do you want me to say hello to Zheng Zhilong and transfer you to run the Indian route? ”

One by one, the businessmen who were named by Chen Xie all knelt on the ground and trembled. What they did in the last month. It's all clear in people's eyes. Everyone present had a huge benefit from the landing of Sakai Port. Relying on the support of the army, they are clever and aggressive, playing with their lives to squeeze past partners and attack competitors. And all of what they did was because of the army's survival without much resistance.

"If you say. In the past, one-third of Sakai Port was the world of Ming merchants, and now Sakai Port has two-thirds of the Ming Dynasty's power. Are you not satisfied? Do you want to put your hand in Chen's bowl? As soon as you do it, Chen someone opens his eyes and closes his eyes, do you really think that I don't know anything? After saying this, all the businessmen knelt down, and everyone remembered that this was "King Chen Yan"!

"Grandpa spares his life!" After Song Zhao of Songjiang Mansion was the first to shout out. Everyone else shouted, and at this time the brain hole was getting bigger and bigger, it was the time of the war, and it was like playing to kill a few people. And this is in Japan, so you won't have a place to reason if you kill you. There is the sea all around, so it is so easy to throw it into the sea if you kill it.

"Now you know you're scared?" Chen Xie stood up and sneered. The eyes swept around again, and everyone kowtowed like pounding garlic. The lord knelt down and begged Chen Xie to be a dog, and Yamauchi Fengchang stood at the door, looking at the ugliness of these big men of the Ming Dynasty at this time, it felt like a dream. These people can walk sideways in Japan, and no one dares to offend them. Even the daimyo did not dare to offend the merchants of the Ming Dynasty lightly. so as not to attract the army of the Ming Empire.

Looking at this scene now, Toyomasa Yamauchi is becoming more and more determined, and he must hold this thigh and not relax.

"Humph!" Leaving these businessmen behind, Chen Xie stepped out of the door and saw Yamauchi Fengchang changing into a military uniform and standing straight. Stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, how did everything you explained?" ”

"My lord, according to your meaning, the best of the merchants in Sakai Port Toei are basically in the hands of the villain." Toyomasa Yamauchi bowed ninety degrees and spoke with his face to the ground. Chen Xie didn't stop him from doing this, he wasn't a Ming man anyway.

"Good!" Chen Xie praised and continued to walk forward, and Yamauchi Toyomasa followed suit, hunched and followed behind. After taking a few steps, Chen Xie stopped, turned around and said, "The entire Dongying must establish a new order, can I trust you?" ”

"Hey, please rest assured, the villain is willing to go to the soup for the lord." Yamauchi Fengchang was overjoyed, this is the precursor of the prosperity of the Yamauchi family, at this time he was still worried, that is, his father was unwilling to come to see Chen Xie, and the worry was naturally that Chen Xie put down the Hongmen banquet. However, this old guy is also very smart, claiming to be seriously ill, and the position of the head of the family is also represented by Toyomasa Yamauchi. In this way, Chen Xie didn't bother to bother with this clever little warlord. Toyomasa Yamauchi has already brought out eighty percent of the Tosa Domain's combat effectiveness.

"Very good, those merchants inside will spit out half of what they eat from the hands of the Dongying merchants. And what you have to do is to hand over this half to those Dongying merchants. If you tell those merchants that something similar will happen in the future, you can report it directly to me. In the future, a new government agency will be established in Sakai Port, and your new position will be to assist the head of the new government and manage the public order of Sakai Port. Remember, no matter who is in Sakai Port, you must obey the law. Otherwise, you have the right to dispose of these people in accordance with the law. Chen Xie explained unhurriedly, and Yamauchi Toyomasa knelt down directly. Sakai Port, there's not one of the richest places in the whole of Toei (uh, this guy has changed his tune). Now it is handed over to him to manage, although there is also a chief official of the Ming Dynasty, but his own rights are already very large, and he can deal with the illegal acts of the Ming merchants. With this one, Yamauchi Toyomasa knelt willingly.

At this time, Chen Xie beckoned, Ah Yue came over with a plate, Chen Xie reached out and picked up a badge from the plate, the pattern on it was a flying eagle, beckoning Yamauchi Fengchang to get up, Chen Xie personally put it on his chest, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Do a good job, I hope your future position is the prime minister of Yingzhou." ”

The system that Chen Xie created for the future Dongying is actually an improved version of the Ming system, centralization is necessary, and this centralization is not the centralization of the monarchy, but the centralization of classes. And this class is the existing aristocratic class, and they depend on Chen Xie to survive. The reform, of course, was to abolish some of the privileges of the samurai of the past and give them the right to administer the country. In the past, the samurai had too much power over the people under their rule, and it was necessary to weaken it a lot, and the Toei aristocracy, which had lost its ownership of the people under its rule, would lose the basis for secession. Another important point is nationalization, in addition to the land allocated to the people, all other qiē resources belong to the state and belong to the symbol of the country, the new Japanese king Chen Xie.

Under such a system, the samurai class of the past would be transformed into the ruler rather than the master of the land and population. Of course, the immediate task is to end the war as much as possible, and to clean up the rebel daimyo, not to exterminate them, but to exile them to India, where they can regain a territory.

It's interesting to think about this approach, the wolf nature of the Japanese samurai is naturally no problem in India, but the people under the rule are a flock of sheep, or a flock of sheep that cannot be reformed. And in that part of India, Chen Xie didn't plan to kill all the nobles and kings, and he had to keep at least half of it, and use this half to continue to maintain the caste system in India.

All these places will serve as raw material supply bases and markets to provide blood for the industrial development of Daming. However, this is not the ultimate goal of Chen Xie, who aims to grab a large piece of territory in North America in the next 50 years, and strangle the hidden dangers of a superpower in the cradle. Until then, the existing site must be consolidated. What to rely on for consolidation is, of course, on the system and a new ruling class.

All in all, to create a world with Chinese culture as the core, Chen Xie takes this goal as the end of his struggle.

In other words, the rules of the future world are set by the Chinese-speaking community. It's a long way, but it has to be walked.

Chang Shiren, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, had left Liaodong and appeared on the battlefield in Japan. He didn't ride a horse, not because he didn't like it, but because he didn't think it was necessary. The pattern of warfare seemed to him to have changed radically, and his opponents were still able to fight decisive battles with smoothbore guns and linear array guns.

Despite being at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, Chang Shiren still ordered the initiative to attack. Prior to this, the military plan had already been drawn up by the staff officers, and the purpose of the campaign was to destroy the enemy's will to resist and force them to surrender and accept the fate of defeat.

The hot air balloon in the sky floated very high, and there was more than one, observing the movement of the enemy army from all directions and angles, which seemed very bullying. But this is war, and as long as it can force the enemy to bend to its will, both warring sides will do whatever it takes.

Chief of Staff Weng Zhengqing is an artillery soldier and used to be the head of the artillery major of the Army School. Even he was a little illprepared in the face of the changes in the mode of war brought about by the new artillery, not to mention others. Therefore, after the emergence of new artillery, new artillery tactics have not yet taken shape, and people need to explore.

"Often, our observers discovered the artillery positions of the rebels, hiding here. If you don't destroy these artillery first, you may be hit hard when you attack. Weng Zhengqing hurriedly walked over and reported the latest news.

Chang Shiren put down the binoculars in his hand, pointed to a high ground in the distance, and said: "Sue the mountain brigade, that is the commanding height of the entire battlefield, if you can't take the high ground within five hours after the battle, the battle is likely to be delayed for a day." Our plan is to break down our opponent in two days, and if it takes three days, it will be a shame for us. (To be continued......)
