Chapter 478: The Protectorate of the East China Sea
In order to control the territory of the Wa Kingdom as soon as possible!
Chao Gai first used the Flying Eagle to pass the book, contacted Wu Yong and Zhu Wu who were sitting in the base camp, and listened to their opinions. Another military meeting was held.
The participants in the meeting were Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui, Gongsun Sheng, and Yelu Tali Li, who discussed the matter and finally had a plan.
The plan for the founding of the country put forward by several military advisers was not agreed to by Chao Gai and was shelved. I wanted to make it a province and city in the future at once, but I thought it was too sudden, so I took a compromise method and continued to slow down the strategy of becoming the king.
The Wakoku Kingdom was renamed the Tokai Prefecture, and the five administrative regions of Honshu South Road, Honshu North Road, Hokkaido, Kyushu Road, and Shikoku Road were established by drawing on the system of the previous dynasty, and there are currently five prefectures, twenty prefectures, and dozens of prefectures!
The surrounding islands are under the jurisdiction of the nearest state capital. Similar to Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands and other gateway islands are under the direct jurisdiction of the prefecture.
Chao Gai served as the first Dadu Protector, and the deputy Metropolitan Protector Sai Xiao He Wenhuan Zhang, who was responsible for assisting in handling government affairs, and Chao Gai was able to act as a full-fledged agent when he was away.
Zuo Shangshu Lou Minzhong became the long history, and Wang Jin served as Sima. "Take charge of the Yamato, soothe the conquest, and punish the merits." He also set up records to participate in the military, records affairs, Zhu Cao to participate in the military, and participated in the military, etc., all of which were appointed.
The division of labor is clear, each performs its own duties, and the former Emperor's Palace is closed, dedicated to the emperors of the past dynasties, and tries to be a victor without touching the bottom line of the Japanese people. The Metropolitan Protectorate chooses another place to live, and the officials of each road and county are selected for recruitment.
The talents convened by Chaojiazhuang, spring is coming!
The site has been formalized, and all kinds of affairs reports have been written into official letters. In case of emergency, you can use the flying pigeon to pass the book and play the capital to protect the house.
Of course, a series of systems and civil servants take time.
Since the Imperial Protectorate had not been established long ago and had just been pacified, it needed to be garrisoned with heavy troops. The flower monk Lu Zhishen served as the envoy of the festival, and the handsome army guarded the capital.
There were also arrangements in the army, and tens of thousands of Japanese veterans were sent to Goryeo, where they reclaimed wasteland for planting, and selected obedient ones to form a group of servant troops.
Tens of thousands of Ainu selected 20,000 of the most elite soldiers to make up for the army's losses first, and the rest were transferred to the city defense army, and some served in the local yamen. Those who return to their hometowns can also participate if they want to.
The commander of the Thunder Army, Saichi Jie Bian Xiang, led three divisions, in addition to one brigade stationed in Hokkaido, one division each in Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku.
The 1st Division of the Mad Demon Army, the 3rd Division of the Guards Army, and the Long Xiang Army sent a division to assist in the defense. There are more than 80,000 guards on the island.
Other divisions rested on the spot after the battle, rebuilding barracks or helping to harvest rice. Familiar with the situation on the island, as the situation in the Togo Province stabilizes, some of them will return to Jeju to defend the town, and some will go directly to Jeju Island.
Although there are many trivial things and great sacrifices, the harvest is also gratifying. The biggest gain is that you have a base on the huge island. In particular, large areas of land are very rich in minerals and the soil is fertile.
Not only suitable for growing rice and wheat, but also for receiving the wealth of the Japanese kingdom by the way. After more than three months of fierce battles, he broke through large and small territories, especially the last imperial city. From the treasury or directly to the house, the accumulation of wealth is amazing.
The amount of gold and silver exceeded tens of millions, and the number of antique calligraphy and paintings was even more. By the way, it also received more than a dozen gold and silver mines to completely solve the financial problem.
Although the minerals of the country are not abundant, there are still a lot of them.
For example, Sado Gold Mountain in Niigata Prefecture has been excavated for hundreds of years, and Sado Island is also known as "Gold Island" by the locals, and it is difficult to estimate the annual gold production.
Although it has not yet been developed, Chao Gai knows that it will happen sooner or later. A group of prospectors and smelters were also transferred from the base camp.
If it is said that the Chao family army was very strong before, it was rootless duckweed. After having an overseas base area, we have logistical support and no worries. This sharp knife will become even sharper and sharper.
What is missing now is time to develop!
In order to shorten this time, Chao Gai took matters into his own hands, threw away the bloody butcher's knife, and personally led the team to inspect everywhere. During the day, he came forward to use the broken indigenous dialect to appease the common people everywhere, ensure that their interests were not violated, meet with the officials and gentry who took refuge, and promise to use the talents if they were ......
In the evening, piles of documents were placed on the table, and they were read one by one and instructions were made. Often at midnight, the candles in the room were lit even until dawn. I could only take a break for two hours, and the next day I started to run to the next stop.
Not only him, Wen Huanzhang, Lou Min and other officials had a special task force to act as bodyguards and translators, and after taking office, they worked hard to appease the good people, abolished the untouchability system, and gained a group of loyal supporters. They also went door-to-door to distribute money and food greetings, and expressed their deep condolences to those families who had lost their loved ones due to the war.
Whether it is a minister on the pastoral side or a grassroots official, everyone is full of energy. This captured island nation is only the beginning, not the end.
Slogans such as "common prosperity and strength" and "not taking a stitch from the masses" were posted everywhere.
Whether it is a Han Chinese official or a military officer, he abides by his duties and never disturbs the people. When encountering those who are vulnerable, those in need reach out and help each other.
The efforts of the people have paid off.
For more than half a month after the end of the war, various localities have been on the right track. The people of the former Wa Kingdom completed the registration and became the citizens of the East China Sea Protectorate. As if returning to the old life, many people are busy harvesting rice.
Even the island of Honshu is no longer rioting, and it is also busy harvesting. Originally, during the war, there must have been no rice on large tracts of land. However, these were all planted by the Han Chinese who migrated.
Why is this so?
In fact, after the capture of Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku Island, the officers and officials of the Chao family organized the local residents to bravely harvest the ripe rice and crops, and the army helped transport them, and they did not take a grain of grain.
These places were also the first to stabilize.
Since then. The immigration plan was put forward in the charter, and the three fleets were transported back and forth. So far, hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese have poured in and settled in various places. Even Honshu Island is no exception, harvesting rice that is about to rot in the ground, busy planting rice for the next season, and clearing land to grow crops.
The civilians who were driven to the city did not lack food, and some people helped to plant it. The soldiers of the Chao family army picked up a sickle to help, and said in the broken dialect they had just learned that they were also peasants and had been bullied.
This made the people of the Japanese country feel complicated, but they could not resent.
Perhaps they understand that the country of the past is gone, and a new life will be ushered in.
And so it is!
More than two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the four islands have changed very much. First of all, there are not only more schools in the cities (aristocratic domains), but also a statue of Xu Fu at the door, as well as stories from the pre-Qin period, teaching children and adults to learn Chinese characters and understand Han culture.
A small but chic restaurant with shops located in it. There is a dazzling array of excellent liquor and various goods shipped from the Great Song Dynasty. Every household has a subsidy from the Metropolitan Protectorate, which makes the poor people grateful......
In addition to shops, caravans were also formed in various places to recover from the wounds of the war. More and more Japanese people can communicate simply in broken Chinese. There are even many who catch their eyes and tie the knot and become husband and wife.
More and more Japanese people are giving themselves Han names.
In addition to the fact that the island of Honshu is deeply influenced by the Yamato national regime, it can't be done for a while, and there are many civilians who are indifferent to the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the school is also a little calm, far inferior to Beihai, Kyushu, Shikoku and other places.
Of course, with unremitting efforts, it won't be long before the islanders can integrate.
Chao Gai basically traveled all over the island and learned about the customs and customs. From memory, several gold mine locations have been found, where they are being mined and smelted.
The plan to relocate the people from the Great Song Dynasty continued.
According to his calculations, at least more than 3 million people would have to be relocated to settle on the island. Occupy the advantage in numbers and promote communication between the two communities. Not only can they have a firm grip on the island, but they can also help them integrate with each other.
Reclamation of wasteland is underway in several places, and large tracts of land have been turned into fertile land. Some of them are planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes, which can be harvested before winter.
The war a few months ago was not very damaging, and the grain reserves of the noble domains were well preserved. In addition, the recent harvest has been abundant, and the food is self-sufficient. Aside from transporting the cattle, the base camp doesn't have to worry about the island.
The island gradually became stable and the economy slowly recovered.
The Nguyen Xiao 7th Division of the Nanyang Naval Division was stationed and established a naval base in the East China Sea. It is responsible for the security of the main island, and the number of locals can be recruited with the assistance of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the scale can be expanded to 30,000 people to guard the long coastline.
Surrounded by thousands of islands, some have been transformed into frontier positions, or have been inhabited by Han Chinese fishermen to form fishing villages of various sizes.
The most is the salt field of the Duhu Mansion, which is dense and dotted. In addition to the Han Chinese, there were also many Ainu apprentices.
Relying on the towering tree of the Great Song Dynasty, the Chao family army quickly digested the results. As long as the time is ripe, the garrison on Jeju Island can also move.
For two months, in addition to a few divisions stationed on the island. The Tiger Army, the Thunder Army, the Dragon Xiang Army, the Tiger Army and other armies left one after another.
The situation is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!
It was also time for Chao Gai to leave, from June to November, when he set foot on the island, he was away for five months, and he didn't see Li Qingzhao and them, nor did he see his children.
He said goodbye to Wen Huanzhang, Lu Zhishen and other officials, and led the team to board the ship and return.
"Let's go, go back and discuss, and prepare the envoys!"
Looking at more than a dozen big ships disappearing into the sea, Wen Huanzhang's laughter echoed. Although it was a very busy time, although the sideburns were getting gray. But it is the joy of heartfelt joy and the joy of ambitions.
It's not just him, it's everyone else.
The pride in my heart, as if I sometimes have endless strength,
When the flower monk Lu Zhishen heard this, he said heartily: "Then you still need to think about it?" Directly let the knife-mouthed Lao Liu go to Bianliang City, and it will never disappoint. ”
The reason why the envoy group was formed and went to Bianliang City.
That's because Chao Jiajun has been expanding his territory overseas for a few months. The situation in the Great Song Dynasty is like a sudden change in the wind and clouds, and it has not stopped.
So much has happened in this time!
