After the plan for scientific and technological support for the next seven years has been completed, the topics of this Jiangning meeting are basically finished.

In the end, the remaining issue of "naturalization of the construction of newly occupied territories" did not take up much of everyone's energy.

Because the administration of these places, whether it is Tohoku, Ezo, Sakhalin, or Kyushu, is still purely militarized. Therefore, it is relatively quick to adjust, and when you encounter new problems, you can ask for instructions at any time, and Zhu Shuren can make decisions directly at any time, without the complicated process of discussing politics in the imperial court.

So as long as the general direction is good, just start first, and then solve the problem when you encounter it.

The only thing worth mentioning in this agenda is that Zhu Shuren once again temporarily included the Yunnan-Guizhou region, which had been well ruled by the Ming Dynasty, into a seven-year strict military control plan.

Li Dingguo was given a certain amount of quasi-wartime authority, and further accelerated the transformation of the Yunnan-Guizhou Tusi into the Liuliu, striving to completely transfer the Tusi that had not yet been completed before the future conflict with Burma and Vietnam, and put all the Tusi in the hands of the imperial court.

Of course, the militarized management authority of this quasi-wartime state must be accompanied by a strict time limit, and when this seven-year plan is over and the use of troops against Burma and Vietnam is also over, it will be delayed for two or three years at most, and then Yungui will still have to completely return to the normal rhythm of liuguan management, and from then on it will be the same as other inland provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, as early as fifteen years ago, the Ming Dynasty gave Yungui Tusi a policy, which involved the exclusive planting rights of tobacco and some other exotic hobby crops. Whichever Tusi responds to the imperial court, accepts the governance of the liuguan, and is well naturalized, he will give priority to providing tobacco, cocoa, and chili pepper seeds.

This policy has been going on for fifteen years, so over the years, the number of toasts in the southwest has decreased by at least two-thirds compared to fifteen years ago, and it is no longer so mountainous.

All the docile toasts that responded early to the Ming Dynasty have more than doubled their average territory over the years. And those stubborn toasts were basically destroyed by the toasts who had grown stronger after adapting to the land change.

Of course, the people under the command of those stubborn Tusi will not be liquidated, they are just innocent people, so they were directly swallowed up by the docile and naturalized Tusi, and then reformed and indoctrinated. Those who were killed and destroyed were only those stubborn ruling families.

In fifteen years, Yungui had hundreds of small Tu Emperor families in the ravines, and fell under the butcher's knife of tobacco to open the way. The number of anti-Ming recalcitrant rebels killed was not only tens of thousands, but the number of people who were exiled to hard labor exceeded 200,000.

But under the iron fist of such domination, the effect is also very outstanding.

Historically, the Qing Dynasty people began to make efforts to change the land and return to the river from the 40th year of Kangxi, and as a result, they also changed to Xiangxi natives in the first 20 years. It took 40 years from the Yongzheng period to the first half of Qianlong to change most of Guizhou and some parts of Yunnan to the same extent.

In the second half of Qianlong, it continued to change the Daliang Mountain in western Sichuan and the Hengduan Mountain in western Yunnan. Historically, the Qing Dynasty's recorded repatriation of the last Tusi on the Yunnan-Burma border was completed in 1820, the 25th year of Jiaqing, when the Opium War was barely 20 years away.

In other words, it took the Qing Dynasty 90 years to convert most of the southwestern regions except the Yunnan-Burma border. Counting the hard bones of the Yunnan-Burma border, then you have to add another 30 years, a total of 120 years.

Now it has only taken fifteen years for the Ming Dynasty, using Li Dingguo's stick and tobacco-grown carrots, and it is estimated that it has achieved the transformation effect of the Qing Dynasty in the same period of history. That's five times the time efficiency.

The progress of Yungui's current land reform and return to the river is basically equivalent to about thirty or forty years of Qianlong in parallel time and space.

Therefore, Zhu Shuren decided to add a fire to the end, give Li Dingguo the last ten years, and take advantage of the opportunity to use troops against Burma and Vietnam to militarize and manage at the same time.

Strive to complete the road of 30 years in 10 years, and then advance to the process of land reform and return in the early Jiaqing period in history, and completely solve the problem of the frontier not obeying the control of the imperial court and fending for itself.

At that time, except for the Hengduan Mountain Tusi that is still swinging between Daming and Myanmar, the other Tusi must all be naturalized.

Ten years later, Li Dingguo will also be sent by Zhu Shuren to the Tusi territory newly "rescued" by the Ming Dynasty from Burma and Vietnam, continue the work he has done in Yunnan and Guizhou, and replicate the successful experience again until the Ming Dynasty completely digests the new planning territory in Southeast Asia.

Considering that at this time in history, Li Dingguo is already dead, even if history has been changed now, Zhu Shuren estimates that Li Dingguo is not a particularly long-lived gene, so if he can solve the problem of Yungui and the new annexed territory in the future, he will not be given a new task. If he can live until then, let him return to his old age.

(Note: It is now 1663, and Li Dingguo died in 1662 at the age of 42.) However, it is said that he died because of grief and anger and unaccustomed to the climate and soil of Myanmar. This is very similar to Zheng Chenggong in history, Zheng Chenggong was also sad and angry, and he was not used to the tropical rainforest environment of the big man, and died in the same year at the age of 38)

In this seven-year plan, Zhu Shuren has made further efforts in the field of medicinal chemistry to solve the research and development of tropical disease drugs and chemical pesticides and disinfectants.

Zhu Shuren knew that the untimely death of Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong in history had a lot to do with tropical diseases, so he must devote resources to tackling tropical disease drugs.

After the completion of Li Dingguo's task, Daming's management of new hobby crops in the Americas will definitely be stricter.

In the future, it will no longer be possible to engage in the road of "special preferential treatment and exclusive planting of Yungui naturalized toast", and the provinces should be treated fairly (but in fact, cocoa coffee and tobacco cannot be grown in the north, which is due to climate reasons, not policy reasons), and the imperial court will directly implement the official monopoly from the legal level, and the people are only allowed to plant and not operate privately, similar to salt and tea.

On the other hand, this is also to save the face of the imperial court, because after so many years of diffusion and cultivation, in fact, the seeds of tobacco, cocoa and coffee have already spread wildly among the people in the southwestern provinces. In the early years, the imperial court was able to control the place by providing seeds in a centralized manner, but now it cannot control it at all.

Therefore, instead of waiting for the future to be completely out of control and slapped in the face, it is better for the imperial court to take the initiative to announce the release of the monopoly on planting and retreat to only monopolistic operation. In this way, the court still does not want to manage, not that it can't manage, it is "unwilling to compete with the people for profit".

At the beginning, Zhu Shuren engaged in licensed cultivation and openly collected tobacco taxes, which was only an expedient measure, in order to destroy the Qing Dynasty and unify the war to need military spending. In the past ten years, the tobacco tax has indeed provided the Ming Dynasty with a total of tens of millions of taels worth of silver in military spending.

Now that the reunification has been completed, there is no need for so much military spending during the war years, Zhu Shuren, as a benevolent person with modern ethics in later generations, also knows that this thing is harmful to health, and the scale of control should still be controlled.

……

After sorting out the ruling tone and management methods in the southwest region, the remaining Tohoku, Sakhalin, Ezo, Kyushu, and Ryukyu will be relatively easy to deal with.

The problems in those places are not too complicated, not to mention the large area, but the scale of the aborigines is not large, so it is relatively easy to manage.

In the final analysis, the biggest trouble in the development of a piece of land is people. As long as there is no constraint from the aborigines, you can draw on a blank piece of paper, and the infrastructure is almost easy to overcome, and immigration and throwing money can solve it.

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the technology of gunpowder and explosives has matured, and even if there is no heavy machinery, you can rely on blasting to get twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, Zhu Shuren in line with the idea of grasping the big and letting go of the small, ranked the policy adjustment priorities of the above-mentioned territories, and first focused on solving the problem of the rule of Kyushu and Ezo.

Although the two islands are small in size, Kyushu is just similar to Oin Island, and Ezo is only twice the size of Oin Island. But after all, these were cut from Fuso, and the Ezo people on Ezo Island need strong means to naturalize, and the people of the Aso Volcano such as the Xiong Raidan in Kyushu must also be dealt with.

So after a closed-door discussion at the highest level of the cabinet, Zhu Shuren and Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong came up with a plan - because the plan was a bit cruel and strong, Zhu Shuren didn't even let a righteous gentleman like Shi Kefa participate.

Shi Kefa is old, the moral lower limit is relatively high, and some things are not suitable for participation.

According to this plan for Zheng Chenggong, in the future, the barbarian tribes in the Aso Mountains on Kyushu Island should be restricted from servitude, forcing them to serve and work for the imperial court, building the local area, cultivating terraced fields, building ports, and being responsible for mining, shipbuilding, and building corresponding factories......

After all, Kyushu Island is a volcanic island, and it is still rich in mineral resources, with a little gold, silver and copper, although it is not as rich as Iwami and Sado, but it is still very good compared to the Central Plains.

The island of Kyushu has an outrageous number of sulphur mines, the largest in Asia – after all, digging a shovel into a huge active volcanic crater like Mt. Aso is full of natural sulphur.

The only thing to worry about is whether sending people to mine around the active crater of sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide will kill or injure too many miners. But since there are natives to enslave, these problems are not a problem.

Therefore, mining in the deep mountains alone can consume a huge amount of labor. The above projects should be carried out well in the next seven years, enough to ensure that all Xiong Raiders can find enough saturated jobs.

If the manpower is insufficient, other non-barbarian Japanese people in the Kumamoto Domain can be forcibly recruited as conscripts, and if there is not enough manpower, the Japanese poor can be recruited from Satsuma and Fukuoka. If you dare to resist, you will be taught a lesson directly with a bayonet and a rifle.

Anyway, there were originally only 3 million people on Kyushu Island, but after a series of bloody battles to destroy the four feudal domains of Kyushu, and forced Kuroda Mitsuyuki to move to Choshu and Hiroshima, the current island of Kyushu actually has a population of up to 2 million people.

And the Ming Dynasty has an absolute advantage in population and troops, as well as an absolute advantage in the weapons of generational difference, leaving a few tens of thousands of people and letting the locals provide for them, and they can definitely rule without spending the Ming Dynasty's own military salaries and military rations. Only the money for ammunition and ordnance consumables still needs to be produced and manufactured locally in the Ming Dynasty.

With such strong control, the pressure on the rulers of the Ming Dynasty was slightly greater, and the local area could not make waves.

You must know that according to Zhu Shuren's own thoughts, those "damned Kumamoto miners" should have been slaughtered directly, and they should have paid off the blood debt of their descendants in parallel time and space for slaughtering Jinling three hundred years later.

Now the rulers of the Ming Dynasty have endured the "abuse of not teaching and punishing", and instead let those Kumamoto miners go to the volcano mining and transformation, which is already a very civilized and ceremonial state.

Of course, since we are ready to build a sulfur chemical industry and mining base in Kyushu, after some necessary infrastructure construction investment, if the utilization rate is too low, it will also form a waste of resources.

Anyway, in the next seven years, Daming will take climbing the chemical industry science and technology tree as a national policy, and then move all the dangerous, polluting, and harmful chemical production and research links of Daming to Kumamoto.

New gunpowder factories and explosives factories can be set up in Kumamoto and Satsuma, as well as sulfuric acid plants, nitric acid plants, rubber vulcanization nitrification plants, and even factories for the simple treatment of coal and crude oil that may occur in the future.

(Note: In this era, even if shallow self-blowout oil is extracted, it is impossible to crack and refine light components such as diesel, gasoline and natural gas, and it is useless to refine it.) But petroleum jelly, paraffin wax and kerosene can already be refined, and kerosene can also be used for lighting instead of lamp oil and blubber, which can be done without industrial songs, as long as the chemical process and reaction design are strong enough)

In addition, Kyushu originally had a highly polluting Japanese-style ash blowing method for smelting gold and silver, and various highly toxic environmental refining processes that require a large amount of cinnabar, lead and mercury. These production capacities can also continue to be carried forward and improved and expanded in Kyushu.

Therefore, in the next seven years, Zhu Shuren will be determined to build the mountainous and marginal areas in the central and southern parts of Kyushu Island into a mining and chemical industry zone where sulfuric acid, petroleum, explosives, and various highly toxic heavy metal industries converge. Mining in mountainous areas, construction of factories in mountainous valleys and places with relatively convenient transportation at the edges, and a clear division of labor.

If only Fukuoka in the north and the coastal plains of Funai near the main island of Fuso are suitable for agricultural production, then continue to cultivate the land to ensure that the island's food rations are at least self-sufficient, and that they will not have to buy grain from North Korea to meet the food needs of the local people in Kyushu.

Daming's rule over Xiong himself is still very relaxed, and he will not do everything he can. Let people engage in such heavy physical mining and chemical construction, and they must give each other enough food.

At that time, the policy was to conscript all the local Xiong himself, as well as the unmarried Fusang men in other domains, into the imperial court. The imperial court fed them to ensure that they were nourished, and perhaps they were fed more than they had when they were under the Fuso daimyo.

In this way, they will not resist, and they are only single, and they are engaged in this kind of toxic, harmful and dangerous heavy physical strength, and the average life expectancy is estimated to be less than forty years old, so they have to change people in more than ten years.

In this way, after a maximum of thirty years, the Kumamoto men on Kyushu Island and the unmarried Fuso men of the other feudal domains basically disappeared on their own, and there was no need for the Ming to use a butcher's knife.

As for those who are married, they can stay in the countryside and continue farming. But these farmers must levy high taxes, and they will definitely not follow the standard of land endowment in the Ming Dynasty, but according to the most ruthless "six princes and four people" in Fusang's Warring States Period, that is, sixty percent of the grain harvest will be returned to the imperial court, and only forty percent will be returned to themselves.

After all, only such a high tax on Fuso farmers can ensure that the people of Fuso can still have food even when most of the population is not engaged in agricultural production.

And as long as the Ming court guides it well, it can definitely guide the hatred of the Fusang miners and workers to the Fusang peasants, so that they realize that "they are all this group of people, and they have women, and they also occupy the land and farm, and they don't want to pay more food for our miners."

Once the Fuso farmers dared to resist, the Ming Dynasty could incite the Fuso miners and peasants to fight among themselves, just as the Europeans instigated African tribes to kill each other at the same time.

And the price that Daming has to pay is only to ensure that the accounts are clear and that "the grain collected from Kyushu Island will never be shipped out, and it will be eaten by the natives of Kyushu."

This point is also the last time that Zhu Shuren took special care of Zheng Chenggong, and he must do so when the time comes.

Because the Ming Dynasty did not lack surplus food from such a barren volcanic island as Kyushu Island to feed other regions.

If we do not take away the surplus grain of Kyushu Island, and all kinds of propaganda and public announcements emphasize that "Kyushu grain is eaten in Kyushu", we can completely lead the contradictions between the indigenous people of Fuso in Kyushu to the infighting among the mining farmers.

Da Ming paid a small economic price, but he was able to consume those restless people for a long time, which was simply too cost-effective.

After setting such a ruling tone, Zhu Shuren finally added an extralegal point, which is not suitable for being placed in the national policy and court documents, and will send Zheng Chenggong a private letter to explain it when the time comes.

Zhu Shuren will ask Zheng Chenggong to be in the follow-up process of counterinsurgency, for the Fusang farmers who were killed because of resistance, if there are more female dependents in the family, then they will be punished and confiscated.

Because a large number of men were conscripted as miners and there were more women in the folk Fusang, they were issued to Han farmers from the Ming Dynasty as concubines.

In order to encourage Han immigrants to infiltrate the local owners of Kyushu Island, the imperial court can privately publicize some preferential policies, mainly to attract Han people to the poor and poor at the bottom, and ensure that after they go to Fusang, they can get a Fusang wife.

If this is not enough to digest the extra Fusang women, then another batch of ships will be shipped to the Northeast and distributed to the Eastern Han people who have broken through the Guanguan to open up the wasteland in Heilongjiang, which can also give similar preferential attraction policies.

In this way, within a few decades, the proportion of the Y chromosome of the Fuso people on the island of Kyushu will fall off a cliff, and in half a century, there may be no Y chromosomes of the Fuso people on the island.

The same policy can also be used appropriately in Ezo. It's just that Ezo doesn't have any mining and chemical industry to develop, only animal husbandry and fishing and hunting.

Therefore, if the male labor force of the Ezo people is rich, they can go to Kyushu to dig and build roads, or go to the outer northeast and Sakhalin to build the earliest infrastructure.

In the same way, men are given enough food but they are not given the opportunity to marry and reproduce, and women are taken to emigrate. All women who are removed must learn Chinese, and if they are over 30 years old, then at least their descendants must learn Chinese from their fathers, and cannot speak Japanese, and the problem of integration and assimilation will gradually be solved after a few decades.
