Tsushima was occupied by China, and Japan was very fierce about it, but it was limited to the quarrel between the old and the Chinese.

For the sake of a small island, who wants to go to war with China?

In the Tokugawa Ieyasu period, there may be a symbolic army, but now there is no way at all.

The situation of the shogun's power falling apart was not something that Tokugawa Ietsuna could solve at all. It will even intensify, and Sakai Tadashi will eventually become the autocratic elder, and the power of the old man will in turn overwhelm the shogun.

This mess later passed into the hands of Tokugawa Tsunyoshi.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi set up the post of "side employer", and Lao Zhong could only meet the general through side personnel. To put it bluntly, the side employers are eunuchs who do not need to be castrated, while the elders and elders are the first assistants and ministers. In this way, it suppressed the old and middle, but it led to the dictatorship of side employment.

Put it in China, it is the eunuch dictatorship!

This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

However, he said that after discussing the territory obtained from North Korea, Zhao Han discussed it with the cabinet officials, and quickly made corresponding arrangements.

Ping'an Province was changed to Ping'an Province, and the whole was incorporated into the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province.

In addition, the province of Xuansu was established, which included the entire territory of Jilin Province in later generations, and the Hamgyong Province of Korea was also incorporated into it. The province was set up in Huifa City (east of Huinan), and Dongning Mansion was established as the provincial capital, a large area of Tonghua was established as Jianzhou Prefecture, Hamgyong Province was changed to Hamgyong Province, Tongyu and Buyeo were set as Taining Mansion, and Jilin and Changchun were set as Lujiang Mansion.

The reason why the provincial governance of Xuansu Province is set in Huifa City (Huinan) is purely because of geographical reasons.

This city is located on the side of the Gray Pao River (Huifa River), and can be connected to the Songhua River to the east along the river; Walk west along the river for a mountain road, you can go straight to Shenyang through the Hunhe River; Walk south along the tributary to the Yalu River via the Po Pig River, which is convenient for the control of Hamgyong Province.

The population of the entire province is only a little over 200,000, and the ethnic composition is complex. Among them, there are only more than 50,000 Han Chinese (including garrisons and their families), about 40,000 Jurchens, about 20,000 Mongols, and the remaining 90,000 are all Koreans.

Among the more than 50,000 Han Chinese, some are Sinicized Jurchens and Sinicized Mongols.

The reason why the province was in a hurry was to speed up the immigration of the Han Chinese, and the exiles in the future would also be thrown over first. Through school education and people-to-people exchanges, the Chinese-speaking area will be expanded little by little, and after two or three generations, the population of the province should reach 500,000.

For decades, Xuansu Province has been a money-losing province, and it has always had to rely on central funding for development, and it would be good to be able to achieve a balance between the province's fiscal revenue and expenditure.

On the other hand, it is assigned to the province of Liaoning Province, which is very good from Pyongyang to Baoju, and is a relatively flat farming area near the river and the sea, and it is also the elite of the entire northern part of Korea.

Nanjing, Forbidden City.

Zhao Han asked Dang Chongjun, who had just returned to Beijing: "After the land was ceded, what was the public opinion in North Korea?" ”

Dang Chongjun replied: "This has to be divided into places and people. The North Korean officials did not say anything on the surface, but privately complained a lot about our Celestial Empire. The Korean literati have admirers, fears, and resentments of our Celestial Empire, but more often they point the finger at the Westerners. The loose merchants in Kaesong, dissatisfied with Kaesong's failure to annex the Celestial Empire, and the fact that it was very likely to be liquidated afterwards, mainly showed panic. ”

"What about the people?" Zhao Han asked.

Dang Chongjun said: "Our army occupied Hanyang, Kaesong and Chuncheon, treated the people well, and did not commit any crimes in autumn. The people of these three cities are reluctant to let the heavenly soldiers leave, and they want to be stationed there forever. As for the ordinary civilians in the area, they don't have any ideas, they just want to live in peace. ”

Zhao Han nodded and said, "Understood." ”

Dang Chongjun also said: "The detailed work of the National Security Yuan has been spread everywhere, saying that the Celestial Empire sent troops this time because North Korea banned the dissemination of the "Datong Collection". Many North Korean scholars and even North Korean officials believed it, and began to secretly seek to buy "Datong Ji". They want to know what kind of books will attract the heavenly soldiers to overwhelm the realm. The more North Korea banned the "Datong Collection", the more curious North Korean readers became, and the more they wanted to get their hands on it. ”

Zhao Han said: "Qing has worked hard this time, and he will go to Brunei again, and when he returns to Beijing, he will be promoted to the right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple." ”

"Brunei?" Dang Chongjun was puzzled.

"There's a civil war going on there." Zhao Han said speechlessly.

Brunei's fart is bigger, in history, this civil war has been fought for 12 years. In the end, the civil strife was completely ended by ceding land to the Sulu State and bringing reinforcements from the Sulu State.

Probably as follows, Zhao Han has a concubine who is a princess of Brunei. Last year, the old king-in-law fell ill and died, and his brother-in-law succeeded him as sultan. In less than half a year, the brother-in-law King died again, saying that he died of illness, but no one knew the specific cause of death. Immediately, the second brother-in-law succeeded to the throne of the Sultan.

The second brother-in-law, the king, is called Ali, and the prime minister is called Mubin.

Ali's son-in-law, who killed Mubin's son. Mubin was furious and asked Ali to punish the murderer severely, but Ali protected his son-in-law.

As prime minister, Mu Bin staged a coup d'état and killed King Ali, Zhao Han's second brother-in-law.

Mu Bin established himself as the sultan, and in order to appease the anger of the royal family, he even appointed a member of the royal family, Bangsu, as the prime minister. Bangsu raised an army to avenge Ali, and Mubin fled to Mirror Island in fright, and Bangsu established himself as Sultan. Now, the two Sultans of Brunei, while busy with the civil war, sent envoys to ask the Chinese emperor to be canonized.

Sulu was in the middle of the fire, wanting to reap some benefits, and sent an envoy to Mirror Island, but the envoy was killed by Mubin. The king of Sulu was furious and said that as long as Brunei ceded the Sabah region, he would send troops to help destroy Mubin.

In addition, the second brother-in-law, the king, and the second son, Aleutin, who was killed by the coup, fled to China and asked the Celestial Empire to help him regain the throne as sultan.

Zhao Han said: "You first take the prince of Brunei, Aleutin, to Luzon, order the two puppet sultans to cease fighting, and return the Brunei throne to Aleutin." ”

Dang Chongjun said that it was very difficult: "Your Majesty, these two people are fighting a civil war in order to be kings, how can they easily return the throne?" The governor of Luzon had to send troops. ”

Zhao Han said with a smile: "Brunei's prince Alyutin promised to dedicate Sabah to China as long as he can regain the throne. ”

"Minister, Commander!" Dang Chongjun immediately understood what to do.

At this time, Brunei was really not small, and the Sarawak and Sabah regions were under its rule, and the land area of Kalimantan accounted for about one-third of the island.

The Sabah region, located in the northernmost part of Kalimantan, has always been eyed by the country of Sulu. If Brunei dedicates Sabah to the Celestial Empire, it is really not necessarily a loss, once the Datong army is stationed, the Sulu State will never invade Brunei again, and the Brunei State will have no external trouble on the island, and it can even dominate the entire Kalimantan Island.

In another time and place, when Malaysia was first founded, the Chinese made up 23% of the entire population of Sabah. Even in the 21st century, Sandakan, the second largest city in Sabah, has a population of about 400,000, of which 320,000 are Chinese.

There are certainly not so many Chinese now, and they were brought by the late Qing Dynasty immigration.

But it's not less, because Chinese merchants, three consecutive generations of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, have always come here to trade. In Sabah alone, there are one or two thousand Chinese, and all of them speak Hokkien and have not forgotten their mother tongue.

Dang Chongjun didn't rest for a few days, so he rushed to Luzon non-stop.

first went to angrily denounce the two puppet sultans, both of whom denied it in every possible way, and also gave gifts, asking the party to worship handsome words and let Zhao Han canonize them as kings.

Dang Chongjun was noncommittal, turned around and returned to Luzon, asking Governor Zhang Huangyan to send troops.

Five warships and 2,000 Datong troops first killed Mubin on Mirror Island, and then went straight to the capital of Brunei. The puppet Sultan Bangsu surrendered, and under the mediation of Dang Chongjun, Prince Aleutin regained the throne, while Bangsu assumed the post of prime minister.

The Sabah region, which had only about 1,000 Chinese, was established as Sabah County and was under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Luzon.

Under the strong strength, the expansion of the land is so simple, it only depends on how to manage and rule in the future.

At least, there will be no problems in this Sabah county, the mountains are full of headhunters, and the Han people live in the coastal areas. As long as they don't disturb the natives, the Han people can cultivate along the coast at will. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, not only Fujian people went south, but even North Chinese people came to Sabah. Hundreds of years later, there are several villages that speak the northern dialect, which is very strange among the Hokkien and Malays.

Dang Chongjun completed the task and expanded the overseas territory again, and the outgoing governor of Palembang, Kwong Hong, couldn't help it.

Under his soft and hard governance, several major families in Palembang have converted to Mazu.

It can't be called a conversion, the Chinese here not only believe in *** religion, but also believe in Mazu, and even believe in Guan Erye. Now it's just abandoning the religion, believing in Mazu wholeheartedly, and by the way, the second master also believes in it.

Several major families set an example, and more and more commoners were willing to convert.

Kuang Hong encouraged reclamation again, so the Han people went crazy. There are tens of thousands of Han Chinese, many of whom are small landlords and tenants, frantically cultivating and encroaching on the land of Bandan, expanding the land along the two river valleys, and also eyeing the fertile soil along the coast.

The application for the lifting of the ban on firearms was approved, and Kwong Hung immediately distributed arquebuses to the peasants and soldiers, and another 500 flintlock pistols were also handed over to the four major families.

Taking advantage of the leisure time, he trained the army for more than half a year, and as soon as the rainy season passed, he thought about making trouble.

If he doesn't make any more trouble, Kuang Hong will return to Beijing to report on his work, and he has to hurry up and make great contributions!

In the territory of Banten on the island of Sumatra, there are only three cities, one is called um Bran Padumanan, and the Han people refer to Ubulan for short; the second is called Bengkulu; The third is called Banda Lampung, and the Han people refer to Lampung for short.

Shi Cunzhang, the leader of the local noble clan, led 3,000 peasant soldiers to take Bengkulu.

Chen Sanwei, the leader of the local wang clan, led 3,000 peasant soldiers to take Ubulan.

And the 500 Datong Army in Palembang went around Lampung on a warship. Not only to take Lampung City, but also to use naval ships to cut off the Sultanate's reinforcements, because the main army of the Sultan is on the island of Java.

There are no decent armies here, just a burning tribe.

Neither the Governor of Palembang nor the local Han people spoke of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Along the way, they burned and killed the natives, especially in the river valleys and plains, and attacked and killed the natives when they saw them, because these lands were easy to cultivate.

The Banten army on the island of Sumatra did not have time to assemble, and the cities of Ubran and Bengkulu were conquered by peasant soldiers. In these two cities, even the walls are made of wood, where can the Banten soldiers with cold weapons stop the peasant soldiers with muskets?

As for Lampung City, it could not stop the regular Datong army, and it fell in half a day, and the power of Banten in Sumatra was completely uprooted.

Palembang Governor Kwong Hung, that's really iron-blooded.

This cargo made its own assertions, set off storms in the South Seas, and led the Eight-Nation Alliance to defeat Malacca. Now that he is expanding his territory in Palembang, there are probably tens of thousands of natives who have died because of him over the years.

Wu Liangfu, who killed Da Yuer and Shunzhi, stood outside Lampung City at the moment, looking at the sea from afar and sighed: "Open up the territory and expand the territory, and promote the prestige of the four seas, the husband should be like this!" ”

Kuang Hong smiled and said: "You are very capable, this time I will recommend you to be the deputy governor of Palembang." Even if you can't do it, you will definitely be able to return to China for promotion. ”
