"This Tokugawa Mitsuhime. Look away! ”

Over the Imperial Garden of the Old Summer Palace.

The moon is in the sky.

Seeing it made Emperor Zhu a little irritable.

A letter in his hand was placed on the table in the pavilion, which was sent from Japan by Tokugawa Mitsukie.

Of course, the content is to report on the coup d'état in Japan, and the upcoming reform of the Japanese court.

Japan is going to be reformed!

Emperor Zhu, who heard the news, almost jumped to his feet.

If it weren't for the abdication of the Japanese emperor and the letter from the sixth child asking for the title of king of Japan, Emperor Zhu would have even come up with the idea of sending a large army to intervene in the Japanese Restoration.

But it's okay.

After all, Japan is going to be a vassal domain.

The king was still his own son.

There's this chain there.

After all, I can keep this vicious dog on a leash.

Now Tokugawa Mitsuki has requested that all 30,000 Japanese soldiers be sent to the Japanese mainland to suppress the turmoil caused by the emperor's abdication.

This is the case in Japan right now.

The shogunate and the imperial court merged.

Belch.

It can be regarded as a combination of public and military, but those hereditary ministers, who are lucky (with a good relationship with the Tokugawa family), have been transferred to the nobility, and they can still have an iron rice bowl.

If you are not lucky, you will be directly demoted to the common people.

The second is that the Tokugawa family served as the shogun, commanding the military, and the Tokugawa ruled the Japanese kingdom as the prime minister.

And Tokugawa Mitsuhime, as the mother of the king, called the queen mother, sat on the west side, and listened to the government.

has become the Queen Mother of the West of Japan.

In addition to these internal power adjustments in Japan.

Tokugawa Manhime also asked Emperor Zhu to issue an edict in the name of Zhu Laoliu.

There are two main things.

The first is to give a surname.

Give the Chinese surname to the Japanese, and give the Chinese surname to the ordinary people of Japan.

Actually, it's three things.

The first is the change of surnames of Chinese people in Japan.

The second is the fact that ordinary Japanese people get surnames - after all, ordinary Japanese people do not have surnames now.

This is the first step in integrating Japan into the Chinese system.

After all, there are now several sons of the Ming Dynasty.

Joseon and Annam are both Han surnames.

If Japan doesn't take the initiative to change its surname, how can it be the son of the Ming Dynasty?

In addition, please withdraw the prefecture.

The initial approach to the abolition of the feudal domains and the transformation of the counties was to establish local councils following the example of the Ming dynasty – and further, to have real power councils, and those local feudal lords surrendered their dominion over the localities in exchange for representation in the parliament – specifically on the principle of "one stone, one vote."

Those who agree can go to the parliament to continue the "struggle of the vassals".

Disagree.

They sent a regiment of Japanese soldiers to attack, deprive them of their land, and distribute them to landless peasants.

The third is to use the Ryukyu incident to declare war on Spain!

It was announced that the South American Expeditionary Force would gradually recruit samurai as soldiers, so as to ensure that these poor samurai would have something to do to the greatest extent possible, lest they follow some foreign forces and local reactionary forces in the local chaos.

The samurai had nowhere to vent their energy, so let it all be vented in the war against Spain!

Samurai who have contributed to the war can be rewarded with land in the plains of La Plataca.

The expansion of the army could be recruited from all the feudal domains in Japan, from all the samurai, and the ronin could also sign up, and the first batch was 50,000 people, all using new weapons and training.

In the letter.

Tokugawa Mitsuhime told Emperor Zhu.

The fundamental principle of these three measures is to suppress the powerful feudal domains, win over the lower strata, and divert contradictions from the outside world.

These three come down.

The situation in Japan will be stabilized.

More people will also support the new Japanese imperial court after the "combination of public and military forces".

Zhu Laoliu's position as king can also be supported by most Japanese.

The first measure co-opted the lower classes.

The second measure guaranteed the rights and interests of the high-ranking samurai.

The third measure gave most of the lower-class samurai a way out.

It can be said that the interests of all parties have been taken care of.

A minority of the opposition.

In the face of such a general trend, it is not a climate at all.

Moreover, under the deterrence of the 30,000 Japanese samurai soldiers, those few opposition parties did not dare to come forward.

"It's not simple, this concubine of mine is really not simple."

Emperor Zhu said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Japan does not need to worry, they have guaranteed the interests of the samurai, and it will be a samurai country in the future, how many samurai can they have, and they can have two million to die? I have a population of 40,000, so why worry. Gu Song said with a smile.

Two million samurai don't need to worry yet?

And now Japan is going to be reformed.

It's a little uncomfortable to hear.

It's all renewed.

Is the First Sino-Japanese War coming?

However, what Gu Song said also makes sense.

The number of the samurai class in Japan as a whole did survive to two million.

Although the reforms implemented by Tokugawa Mitsuki in Japan largely protected the interests of the samurai class.

But unlike the Meiji Restoration, which was very successful in history, it is different.

Historically, the Meiji Restoration was based on the Shogunate Movement launched by the lower class samurai.

The nouveau riche who took power after the movement deprived the samurai of their privileges, and it was no longer the privilege of the samurai and the public to become a soldier and an official. Civilians at the lower levels also have the obligation to join the army to defend the country. The compulsory military service system was the guarantee of Japan's military resources in all subsequent foreign wars.

But Japan's current reforms have not touched on that.

Serving as a soldier was still a samurai privilege.

Ordinary people do not have the right to be soldiers, officials, or even to elect the army.

Although the samurai were suitable for military service, the population was too small.

The samurai class of about two million can mobilize 200,000 troops, which is already the absolute limit.

Think of it this way.

This country of the samurai privileged class.

It really doesn't threaten Daming

"How does this look like the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty?"

Tokugawa Jiji frowned.

If the reform is carried out according to this approach.

The military power and local governance power of the local feudal lords were taken away, and the privileges that distinguished them from the common people were replaced.

Isn't this similar to the Eight Banners nobles of the Qing Dynasty?

What is the future of Japan?

"It looks pretty much the same, but what's the matter? If there was no great emperor born out of nowhere, wouldn't this Qing Dynasty rule Nuoda China very stably? ”

"Is stability enough?"

"Isn't stability good? Japan can't be chaotic, and Japan can't be chaotic! And with the protection of the Ming Dynasty, Japan does not have to worry about future problems. ”

Tokugawa Manji hugged Zhu Lao Liu, looked at the colorful flowers all over the ground, and said nonchalantly.

The extravagant Tokugawa Mitsuhime, dressed in the most ornate silk kimono, walked through the cherry blossom garden accompanied by a dozen maids.

Tokugawa Jiji, who had already become Japan's prime minister, began to worry about Japan's future.

In this reform, the public and military forces are combined.

But one or two million more privileged classes.

It is not said that one or two million people are special first, and others are special later.

Rather, it is a hereditary privileged class.

Under this system, Japan is afraid that it will become a system similar to that of the Qing Dynasty in the future.

"The future of Japan is in South America, in New Japan. What we have to do is to establish a base in New Japan as much as possible, and when Yizin Er is an adult, he will give Japan a strong New Japan State. ”
