"Your Majesty, the post-war plan discussed by the adults before is very complete, and the important thing is to let the Japanese implement it and let the Han supervise it. So...... The minister has the following suggestions......" Zhou Pu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then continued, "First, after the war, following the example of Goryeo, a legation was set up in Japan, and the minister in Japan authorized by the emperor himself was responsible for negotiations with Japan, and had the right to control all aspects of Japan.

Second, on the basis of copying the Goryeo Legation, the establishment and scale of the Legation were expanded, and capable officials were selected to be fully responsible for Japan's financial supervision. These officials can be stationed in various parts of Japan to inspect the mines and customs, estimate their income, and then hand over the mines to the exclusive management of the Japanese specialized agencies, which must also have inspectors stationed in the legations, and can directly draw money from their revenues to deduct indemnities. If this can be realized, the minister believes that it is possible to get Japan to hand over 30 million or more in 20 years. ”

"Interesting," the emperor smiled slightly when he saw that this special official who negotiated with Japan supported his opinion, "I think these two items are correct, and they can be implemented." Is there a third then? ”

Zhou Pu's heart suddenly tightened.

"Third, the minister believes that the Japanese are cunning and cunning, and if they want to completely eliminate their cleverness, it is difficult to do it, so they can only take advantage of the situation and create a situation in which the Japanese are unable to be involved by all parties and have to rely on the support of the Han court at the same time, so that the Japanese can control the Japanese, so that they can focus on internal friction and dare not deceive the imperial court......"

"This is also interesting," the emperor nodded approvingly, "I also think that after the war, Japan should continue to be fragmented, and the shogunate should not be destroyed but let others unify Japan, to put it bluntly, if the shogunate is really rotten, who will maintain the stability of Japan, so that they can give us reparations with peace of mind!" ”

"The minister also felt that this was the case, and that the power and prestige of the shogunate needed to be preserved." Zhou Pu bowed down, "The ministers and others will fight against Japan this time, since they will play the banner of supporting justice in the early stage, and they are ready to use the Japanese imperial family as a signboard, then the strength and prestige of the Japanese imperial family after the war will be greatly greater than before, and they may even have their own financial resources and military resources, we can give some help to this, so that it can grow strong enough to compete with the shogunate, but we can't let it become too strong, so as not to lose the tail, but become a shogunate with a righteous name, which is even more difficult to control......"

"That's right, we are fighting for the Han Dynasty, not for the Japanese court, Zhou Pu, you are really a person who knows the stakes!" The emperor praised Zhou Pu's words very much, and then looked at Zhao Song deliberately, "Zhao Song, you also remember these words for me." Now that you are also a general on the side of the army, remember not to blindly indulge in the battle formation, but to learn to strategize. It's very important to win, but it's even more important what you do after winning, you have to ask Zhou Pu more in the future, he knows how to deal with those people. ”

"When the time comes, the minister must always consult Lord Zhou." Zhao Song hurriedly agreed, then turned around and arched his hand slightly to Zhou Pu, "Lord Zhou, please don't hesitate to teach me when the time comes." As long as you and I cooperate sincerely, why worry about the great cause? ”

"How dare you do this...... If the general has any questions, just ask, and Zhou Puzhi will answer everything! Zhou Pu hurriedly and humbly agreed.

Although he was humble on the surface, he was already happy in his heart, because in this way the emperor had established his relatively independent position in the expedition here, and the power to advise the generals who could lead the troops - after the expedition, even Zhao Song, who was a royal prince, could not ignore all his words, otherwise it would be disobeying the holy will. This arrangement will certainly be of great help to him in his future work.

"Let the Japanese court and the shogunate oppose each other, this is indeed a good move, but only they are fighting I'm afraid it's not enough, don't forget that the two heroes fight, once one side loses its foot, the other side will rise in power......" The emperor praised Zhou Pu for a few words, and then became serious again, "Since you want to let them control each other, you must do it to the end, and simply don't let them have a chance to turn over." Didn't you say that? There are many wealthy families in Japan who disobey the shogunate, and we can use them this time, but we can't just use them without giving benefits, right? After the war, we were able to raise some powerful daimyo and give them a good amount of power in their hands, so that they could be independent of the shogunate and the Japanese court. Since they didn't take the shogunate seriously, that is, they may not have much loyalty to the Japanese court, as long as they have power, no one will buy it! ”

After some mention by the emperor, Zhou Pu almost came back to his senses.

"What the emperor said is very true! The Japanese are afraid of power but not virtue, and have never been loyal, let alone those wealthy families? As long as we support them, they will definitely not follow the shogunate or the imperial court, in this way, after the war, Japan will be a three-legged combination of the shogunate, the imperial court and the noble clans, they will contain each other and attack each other, and they will have to rely on the mediation of our dynasty, and our dynasty can also use it to override them and let them fight each other......"

"That's what it means!" The emperor smiled, then raised his head, "As long as they let their forces balance and attack each other, your task will be much easier!" A traitor will always be a little twisted and pinched, if they let a few of them sell the country, then they will definitely sell actively and properly, and sell willingly! ”

As soon as the emperor said this, in addition to Zhou Pu, the ministers in the hall also laughed together. They didn't just want to welcome the emperor, but they felt that the emperor's method was indeed very appropriate and to the point.

"The emperor has strategized and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away, which is indeed beyond the reach of his ministers!" At this time, the prime minister no longer expressed disagreement, "Zhou Pu, are you very good at this strategy of the emperor?" When you go to Japan in the future, you must do it well! ”

"The emperor clearly sees thousands of miles, and the ministers ...... It's hard to ...... the horse," Zhou Pu bowed down convincingly, "The emperor's ministers must keep it in mind, and they will make Japan a **** vassal country from now on!" ”

And the clerks who had been silent next to them also recorded the post-war terms that the emperor and the important ministers had just discussed, and the future fate of a country was given in such a few words. In any era, a small country can only become an object of domination by a large country, and the price that Japan will have to pay after this war is almost a thin line away from its demise.

However, they cut out the meat, and they didn't even have the opportunity to discuss the disposal, and the only people who could discuss how to dispose of it were other people at this meeting.

Marshal Shi Manqiang was one of those people who was qualified to discuss what to do, and he did intend to discuss it.

"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that it was imperative to set up a management agency to supervise Japan's industrial and mining affairs. But...... The status of these institutions is debatable. Just when the ministers were still praising the emperor, Marshal Shi Manqiang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "The mission in Japan has to deal with negotiations with Japan, arbitrate disputes between Japan's major forces, and handle political affairs...... Inevitably, there is also a suspicion of too much power......"

This suggestion of the marshal made the prime minister and other cabinet ministers suddenly stunned slightly.

To be honest, no one could have imagined that the marshal would stand up at this time and question the post-war arrangements, feeling that the mission in Japan would have too much power.

Although the marshal's suggestion does not seem completely unreasonable, these people are all people who have been established in the court for many years, and naturally understand that things in the court can never only be superficial. The marshal was originally a member of the army, and he had no interest in interfering in the affairs of the cabinet, and if he had any opinions, he would not openly say them at the court meeting, so as not to affect the relationship between him and the cabinet. And when he said it so directly today, there must be some deep meaning hidden behind it.

Marshal Shi's remark is very reasonable, Japan is isolated overseas, and its relationship is special, so it is not good to blindly follow the example of Goryeo to carry out remote control, and it is necessary to re-study the specific structure. In addition, although the diplomatic mission in Japan has the authority to grasp it, it is really not appropriate to take care of everything in detail, otherwise it is inevitable that there will be omissions. After laying the groundwork and giving the marshal's approval, the prime minister rejected his room to say further, "This matter is indeed very important, the cabinet needs to think about it in the long run, and then discuss it after everyone goes back, and see how to distribute power is the safest, so as not to lose the authority of the mission, and not to lose the dignity of the ****." ”

Under normal circumstances, it is almost enough for the prime minister to say this, he gave face to the marshal who meddled in political affairs, and promised to adopt the marshal's opinion, and the marshal should not continue to criticize the affairs of the cabinet, but today's marshal does not intend to stop there, because he does have other plans.

"Prime Minister, this matter is very important, so it is better to agree on it at the state meeting first, so as not to cause disputes in Japan in the future." The marshal shook his head, but continued, "Since the prime minister also thinks that it is not appropriate for the embassy in Japan to be too authoritative, then we can consider handing over the supervision of gold and silver mining to the garrison to deal with - after all, there will definitely be some garrisons in various parts of Japan at that time!" This is to make it easier for everyone to handle their own affairs, and secondly, if they belong directly to the garrison, in case of an incident in the gold and silver mines, the garrison can also be mobilized to suppress it as soon as possible, so as not to expand the incident and affect the income of the mine......"

Sure enough, it came!

The prime minister and the prime minister were shocked at the same time, and unexpectedly glanced at each other secretly.

They had been worried that the military people would also covet Japan's gold and silver mines, but they didn't expect these people to be so bold that they didn't wait to make small moves in the future expeditions, and actually explicitly mentioned it in the State Council.

For a moment, I don't know what was going on, and the prime minister's heart actually flashed with a slight anger.
