Tanegashima and Yakushima did not resist for long, and both fell.

The commander-in-chief of this operation was Lei Lin, which was regarded as a drill close to actual combat for the newly recruited soldiers.

Not only that, but this time there were fifteen hundred servant troops accompanying him.

These servants were the best overseers of the laborers, and when they gained their trust, they became an important force in the suppression of the Japanese laborers.

After this group of people arrived on the island, they immediately began to maintain law and order with great force, and when they encountered civilians who dared not to bow their heads, they were immediately beaten up.

In less than a few days, the civilians on the two islands became submissive.

Lei Lin also took the opportunity to issue an order to divide the land, and on the basis of organizing the households and people, the land was redistributed equally to the civilians and servant troops on the island.

And take the opportunity to keep half of the cultivated land on the island and all the undeveloped land, waiting to be distributed to future Han Chinese immigrants.

After that, the Huaxia Army announced that Tanegashima and Yakushima had entered the state of military control.

All grain can only be traded with the garrison on the island, and all daily necessities must be supplied by the supply and marketing cooperatives.

As for the captured lords and officials on the island, in order to prevent the appearance of emotions such as hurting us, they confiscated their belongings and released them directly to the Satsuma Domain.

At first, the civilians on the island did not know what the situation was, and they fled into the mountains and wilderness of the island.

Fortunately, there are cadres who can speak simple Japanese with the army, and they also brought a translator, which is Shimazu Kaori who married Haruki Nishigi.

After a few years in Eastern Qin, Haruki on the West Bank has completely turned into a black man, not only with short clothes and short hair, but also with a fluent new language.

He originally wanted to have something to do with Shimazu Tadamasa, but after the growth of Eastern Qin, he felt that the whole of Japan was not as hopeful as Eastern Qin.

So he took the initiative to wear short clothes and short hair, learned the new language more standard than the Ming people, and got a position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as he wished.

"Commander-in-Chief Lei, the two islands have been leveled, and the population on the island is not large, with a total of more than 40,000 people. I suggest that when the land is divided, let the farmers who originally had nothing divide it first, and as for those who originally had land, they should be deprived of their land and let them have to work! ”

After going down for a visit, Haruki on the west bank hurriedly found Lei Lin.

Lei Lin was pondering the location of the fortress on the island, and after listening to this suggestion, he was a little puzzled: "The land division order is related to all farmers, why should those farmers with land be treated differently?"

Haruki Nishigan said seriously: "Commander-in-chief, the situation in the Wa Kingdom is very different from that of the Ryukyus. This lord is hereditary and insatiable, and seventy percent of the land on Tanegashima and Yakushima is owned by lords and retainers. And most of these peasant households with their own land are landlords, and they have a lot to do with the lords! When these people saw that the previous untouchables had land like them, they were bound to resent Dongqin! I will also have nostalgia for the original lord in my heart!

So instead of keeping them, it's better to force them all out of the land! Anyway, their number is less than half of the population of the whole island, as long as they take the opportunity to collect their land and make an example of them, then the commander-in-chief can immediately win the hearts of the civilians on the island, and they will also farm and pay food for our garrison with peace of mind! ”

Lei Lin thought about it, but felt that this suggestion was very good, and immediately summoned the accompanying cadres to discuss the matter together.

When their cadres encounter matters that require resolution, they usually set up a military and political congress in advance and elect five deputies for voting.

As long as the five-person vote passes, it can be implemented first and then reported, and if the government has doubts about the resolution, it can only send a commissioner to the local area to investigate the hearing in detail after the fact.

Soon, the delegates will immediately adopt the proposal after understanding the reasoning.

The servant army began to rob the land of large families on Yakushima Island and Tanegashima Island, and directly copied a few "bad gentry" households with great grievances.

The civilians on the island were shocked, and for them, this time it was a good lord! They were finally able to live a good few days.

Heizo Castle, Shimazu family house.

When Shimazu Tadamasa was hesitating, he received news that Eastern Qin had sent troops to Tanegashima and Yakushima.

He was first indignant, and then afraid, feeling that if Eastern Qin had bad intentions, he was afraid that the coastal areas of the Satsuma Domain would already be in flames of war.

Originally, he wanted to maneuver, not only did not want to sell Osumi Nishima, but also wanted to annex the Hefu clan and the Sagara clan.

was thinking hard about how to make a mistake with the snake, but Dong Qin simply took down Tanegashima and Yakushima directly.

Well, now his worries are gone!

Faced with the fact that Eastern Qin had already occupied Tanegashima and Yakushima, if he wanted to refuse, it would be to be cut a piece of meat for nothing.

Although he was unwilling, there seemed to be no better choice, so he could only follow the prescription given by Dong Qin and obediently annex the Liver Fu clan and the Sagara clan.

He immediately found Tatsuhiko Akiyama and Yin Zuozenjiu and asked: "Now that Eastern Qin has occupied Osumi two islands, it seems that we have no choice, you see, how should the four parties carve up Kyushu?"

Yin Zuoshan lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then said with a smile: "My lord, the subordinates still have the original opinion, just follow the Fang Yu given by Eastern Qin, let's quickly annex the Liver Fu Clan and the Sagara Clan!" Only when the territory is bigger, can there be more things to do. As you can see, the arquebuses newly sold in the Eastern Qin Dynasty were equipped with bayonets, and after the use of this musket, the pikemen in the army could be greatly reduced.

Adults also know that after two months of training, a farmer can kill an enemy with an arquebus, while an archer needs to be trained for at least two years! Now the musket is paired with a bayonet, which can attack from a distance and also fight in close combat! What does this mean? This means that in the future, the more people there are, the more troops they will have, and the more troops they have, the stronger they will be! ”

Shimazu Tadamasa nodded, as if he was unwilling: "But it seems to be a bit of a loss to annex only one of the Liver Fu clan and the Sagara clan, and the other three are the same as us!"

"Haha, adults think too much!" Yin Zuoshan held his eyes for a long time and said: "They want to annex, can they really annex easily?" As long as adults can quickly destroy the Liver Fu clan and the Sagara clan, then there are many things that can be done! ”

"That's right!" Shimazu Tadamasa was reminded like this, but he felt that he should act quickly, as long as he annexed the share he deserved as soon as possible, he could secretly assist the rest of the small forces, which could not only cause obstacles to the other three families, but also obtain benefits from the small forces.

Tatsuhiko Akiyama also said: "Dongqin asked us for Osumi Nishima, but also promised to sell new arquebuses to us first, and also made a promise in terms of share, we might as well strike while the iron is hot, and ask Dongqin to sell us a few more cannons, so that we will be able to destroy the family quickly!"

"Which one will be destroyed first?"

"Sagara!" Yin Zuoshan slapped his palm for a long time and said: "The Liver Fu Clan is not to worry, but the Sagara Clan must suddenly attack!"

Shimazu Tadamasa nodded in agreement and said, "What you said is that, then bother Akiyama and go and explain one or two to the other three."

"Oh, that's a lot of things! You don't have to. Yin Zuoshan smiled for a long time: "The diplomat sent by the Eastern Qin, Ah Xin, is said to have stopped at Fangjin, but he did not come to see the adults, and went north directly. It shows that Dong Qin is determined that the adults will definitely follow their rules. Simply, let Dong Qin go and talk to the other three, let's prepare for war immediately! As long as the diplomats of the Eastern Qin leave Japan, we will start a war, and if anyone stops it, it will be a bad Fang Yu of the Eastern Qin people, and then we can ask the Eastern Qin to come forward to put pressure! ”

Shimazu Tadashi was silent for a while, feeling that what Yin Zuozen said was right, but in this way, wouldn't it be that the four of them could only go according to Dongqin's arrangement.

No way! He raised his head and said: "You must communicate with one of them, otherwise in the future, the affairs of this Kyushu will be all decided by Eastern Qin!"

Yin Zuoshan thought for a while, nodded and said: "If you are far away and close to attack, then you will be good friends with the Ouchi clan!"

"The subordinate is willing to send an envoy to the Ouchi clan!" Tatsuhiko Akiyama immediately asked for it.

Shimazu Tadamasa nodded in agreement, but his heart was extremely unhappy.

Tatsuhiko Akiyama said, "Besides, do you need to send a letter to the shogun?" Also, outside of Kyushu, can you find another ally? ”

Yin Zuoshan opened his eyes for a long time and said: "Shao Nayan is thoughtful, this matter really needs to go to the shogunate, and outside of Kyushu, you can indeed find a help!"

"What about that party?" Tadamasa Shimazu asked.

"Shikokushima's Ichijo clan, Kono clan!" Yin Zuoshan replied for a long time.

Shimazu Tadamasa thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's it!"

……

According to the decision of the Shimazu clan, they will befriend the two major powers of Shikoku, and at the same time befriend the Ouchi clan.

In the future, the Matsuura clan and the Otomo clan will be sandwiched between the two parties, and in the face of common pressure, the two sides will also be very likely to unite.

And the Ouchi clan will inevitably face the threat of the Hosokawa clan and have to carry both sides.

When they finish expanding, they will face more powerful opponents and face greater pressure on their armaments.

Comprador is not just talking!
