After Li Chengliang said this, he looked at Wang Xijue, Shen Li and the others.

After pondering for a while, Shen Li said first: "According to the meaning of the cardinal minister, in the future, this western part of Japan should be directly ruled by the central court center!" The eastern part was divided into a number of feudal states, and it was necessary to ensure that the feudal states were different from each other. ”

"In this way, the whole of Japan will be divided in the future, even though it will be Han land in the future."

"The king of the future generations, it will be easy to cut the feudal domain in the future, or not to cut the feudal domain, because the cost of ruling is high, and it will be necessary to abandon the land and carry out strategic contraction, which can also ensure that it is difficult for Japan to be unified, and then the successor monarch who wants to make a difference in the future can continue to attack this place in a more respectful way!"

Shen Li looked at Li Chengliang when he said this: "But that's the case?" ”

Li Chengliang bowed his head.

Wang Xijue also nodded here and said: "There are too many islands in Japan, and they are too narrow and long, and the imperial court directly rules all the places, with the current conditions, it is indeed difficult to do!" ”

"And if you want to digest it all after conquering this place in the future, it will take several generations, and now you can really only return to it partly and partly fetters it!"

"That's right!"

"For example, although Lingnan was unified into China during the Qin Dynasty, it was still in the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty that it was completely returned."

"The southwest is only now starting to return on a large scale!"

"The victory of a military war against a place is often just the beginning, and it often takes a long time to completely digest a place as a Han land and truly achieve effective rule."

"The reason why the former Jiaozhi political secretary was abandoned was that he was too eager and forcibly returned to the country, so that the rebellion was difficult to suppress and the taste was the same."

Li Chengliang followed up with a few words, and said:

"It's the same in Japan, although it's a strip of water, but before the appearance of the kind of radio that the Qi family is researching by the horse master, the cost of internal and external transportation is still too great!"

"Therefore, there is no problem in sending only a large army to conquer now, it is nothing more than a hammer deal; However, if we want to permanently garrison officers and soldiers in the local area and set up rogue officials, it will be difficult to know the changes in time. ”

"Especially east of Edo!"

"Because the traffic is too long, sooner or later, the liuguan sent will also become a local official."

"Instead of this, it is better to imitate Taizu, in such a remote place, not only to seal the king, but also to set up officials, so that they can check and balance each other."

"In this way, even if the imperial court cannot reach the decree quickly for a while, it can avoid it from becoming bigger."

"What's more, there is also the army stationed in the western part of the court watching all the time."

Shen Li followed.

Li Chengliang nodded, and pointed to the location of Ibaraki in the Kanto region of Japan on the map: "This Changlu country is just east of Edo, there are more than 5 million acres of land, and now the lord of the country is a hardliner who is unwilling to accept the rule of my Ming Dynasty, and it just so happens that my army is conquering the Tokugawa clan, so it is completely possible to take Edo and directly turn Changlu country into my Ming Dynasty." ”

After hearing this, Wang Xijue said at this time: "I agree! ”

Shen Li nodded: "Me too." ”

"I don't have an opinion, it's nothing more than that the Changlu Kingdom has become a Wei country, and the Daimyo of the Wa Kingdom has become my Emperor Ming Vassal King."

"It's just that King Wei is the first vassal king to take up a vassal overseas after all, since he wants to ensure that the vassal is smooth and can attract other clans willing to go overseas in the future, then the Wei domain area should be a good business, so he should carefully choose the governor of the vassal of King Wei."

The secretary of the ministry, Shangshu Wang Xuan, followed at this time.

"Naturally, I recommend that the governor of Uncle (Xing Jue) Wei Wang take the domain."

Li Chengliang said at this time.

"Uncle Yan has served as the governor of Dongying, and he is familiar with the Zhuyi in the east, so he is competent."

And the other ministers also agreed.

Li Chengliang therefore said: "In this case, it will be played in Your Majesty." ”

After Zhu Yijun learned of this plan, he said: "Then seal the guard, change the Changlu State to the Ming Honshu Governor Kaiping Mansion, and order the Governor of Xing Yu to conquer the Tokugawa clan's Magui army, so that they must clean up the Japanese Kou, so that it is convenient for the Wei King to become a vassal, and the Wei King can wait for the sea monsoon to be suitable, first go to Dongying to stay temporarily, and then go to the Changlu State to become a vassal." ”

"Yes!"

The current Ming official army is marching vigorously in Honshu under the leadership of the commander Ma Gui, and it is overwhelming, and it has arrived near Kyoto in the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Wanli.

The emperor of Kyoto was frightened and hurriedly sent a letter to Magui, saying that he had no intention of becoming emperor or allowing Tokugawa to establish a shogunate.

Ma Gui directly ordered to kill the envoy.

Because Zhu Yijun has clearly decreed to him, the royal family of the Wa Kingdom must be wiped out, so as to prove to the people of the world that there can only be one emperor in this world.

Therefore, Magui did not mean to accept the emperor's surrender.

During the attack on Kyoto by Magui, King Wei also officially boarded the ship after bidding farewell to Zhu Yijun and went to sea to Dongying.

Since the Ming Dynasty now often has ships between Dongying and Ningbo, there is basically no risk of going to Japan at sea.

Therefore, King Wei also successfully arrived in Dongying, and met Zhu Yiyi, the former king of Lu, who was imprisoned here.

"Your Majesty's meaning, as long as you are willing to write a letter of repentance, you can go back."

King Wei also conveyed Zhu Yijun's words to Zhu Yiyi.

Zhu Yiyi said: "I don't write, and I don't want to go back, it's so prosperous here, and the Chinese Japanese are also very obedient, much more comfortable than Middle Earth." ”

At this time, King Wei also stood in the attic facing the street, looking at the lively and prosperous Nagasaki City, because he saw that there were many people here, all wearing Han clothes, and more shops were densely packed into clouds, and Han characters were seen everywhere, and although it was a cold time, he still saw the pink dolls dancing with red sleeves in the Qinglou painting boats everywhere to attract people, and then said: "It does not look so barren and desolate here, it is as big as Jiangnan!" ”

"Really?"

"So, why should I go back, I might as well be locked up here honestly until I die."

Zhu Yiyi lay down on the couch as he spoke, and while letting the widow knock his legs, he closed his eyes and smelled the faint body fragrance of the widow, and after a while, he snored like thunder.

As the second son of Longqing and Li, he is somewhat similar to Wanli's personality in history, and he likes to be rotten.

Seeing this, King Wei did not persuade again, but only stayed in Nagasaki temporarily, waiting for the news of the expedition of Magui's army.

Magui has now led a large army into the Hyogo area of Kyoto.

The ruling stratum throughout Kyoto was even more alarmed.

After the allied forces led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi were defeated by the allied forces led by the Daming, Tokugawa Ieyasu became the real shogunate due to the early outbreak of the Battle of Sekigahara, but the power of the Toyotomi family was not completely wiped out.

Japan as a whole is still in an era of fragmentation.

However, because Tokugawa Ieyasu had just finished the Battle of Sekigahara, he had not yet had time to divide the daimyo who had moved abroad to be loyal to the Toyotomi family.

Therefore, the real power in the Kyoto area is still in the hands of the Toyotomi family.

Equally.

Now the Ming Dynasty is conquering the Tokugawa clan, not only to eliminate the Tokugawa clan, but also to eliminate the Toyotomi clan by the way.

The reason is that the Toyotomi clan originally belonged to the hostile forces of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Toyotomi Hideyoshi was ordered by Zhu Yijun to be a rebel, the Toyotomi family has been an enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Wanli 24th year east, October.

The Ming army arrived at Himeji Castle and captured the outer castle of Himeji Castle with hundreds of artillery.

Kinoshita, who was given the surname Toyotomi, was forced to open the Honmaru Castle Gate, that is, the inner castle, and surrendered.

And after the Ming army occupied Himeji Castle, they did not rush to launch an attack and went to Osaka Castle.

Because the weather was too cold, and the army was already sleepy and lacking horses, and the logistics needed to be rereplenished, they only rested in Himeji Castle and sent people to recruit the Toyotomi family.

The Toyotomi family, who held the real power to rule the Kyoto region, did not know that the emperor had secretly asked for surrender.

It was only after receiving the news that the Ming army was persuaded to surrender that they began to discuss fiercely whether to surrender.

But in the end, the Toyotomi family did not choose to surrender, because their actual ruler, Asai Chacha, knew that once he surrendered, his three-year-old son Toyotomi Hideyori would definitely lose his life.

Therefore, Asai Chacha demanded that the ministers must protect Osaka and not surrender.

Coincidentally, today's Toyotomi family is also the master of the ministers, and the generals are secondary, and the ministers have always paid attention to the king's orders, which makes the Toyotomi family still try to resist when the Ming Dynasty arrives.

However, the Toyotomi family also knew that the Ming army was strong, and they did not plan to fight alone.

Therefore, Asai Chacha still followed the advice of the ministers and, in the name of Toyotomi Hideyori, asked Tokugawa Ieyasu to send troops to reinforce Kyoto Osaka.

But Tokugawa Ieyasu refused Toyotomi Hideyori's request.

The reason was that Tokugawa Ieyasu's own Edo region was also being attacked by the Ming army's naval divisions, and he was afraid that if the reinforcements were sent, the Ming army would focus on attacking his Edo region.

And.

Tokugawa Ieyasu still wants to use the hands of the Ming army to eliminate the power of the Toyotomi family, and it is beneficial for him to continue to sit on half of the rivers and mountains of the Japanese kingdom in the future by eliminating the main battle faction in the country.

Therefore, Tokugawa Ieyasu chose to refuse, and even still showed goodwill to Ming Guo behind his back, saying that he rejected Toyotomi Hideyori's request for reinforcements to prove that he had no intention of becoming an enemy of Ming Guo.

Because Tokugawa Ieyasu behaved very reluctantly, Ma Gui also chose to implement the plan given to him by the Privy Council to destroy the Toyotomi family first and then the Tokugawa clan, and only ordered Shen Yourong to lead the sailors to continue to attack and bombard the waters around Edo, at most tentatively landing, without having to force a landing in Edo.

However, this also gave Tokugawa Ieyasu the illusion that the Ming army was not particularly strong, and he could really continue to be the actual ruler of Japan in the future.

However, on the Kyoto side, many daimyo who submitted to the Toyotomi family did not have this illusion, that is, the Ming army was not particularly strong.

They have been beaten by the Ming army to the point of urine, and they keep complaining to the Osaka side.

Daimyos, such as Kinoshita Ieding, have already chosen to surrender.

While Magui led his army to rest at Himeji Castle, King Wei ended his crossing to Matsuyama.

But as soon as King Wei arrived in Songshan, a large number of Japanese people dressed in Han clothes suddenly rushed out of the houses on both sides, and they took up their swords and killed King Wei.

King Wei was so frightened that his face turned as white as paint.

"Escort!"

"Escort!"
