Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 739 Full Control of Kyushu and Shikoku

To the angry Japanese, the notice issued by Sakai Tadaki, the elder of the Tokugawa shogunate, was that there would be no silver 300 taels here.

Not only did they not quell their anger, many daimyo accused the Tokugawa shogunate of being devoid of conscience.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and without the support of the emperor, they still couldn't unite, let alone send troops to the shogunate.

Emperor Mingzheng was a girl, and of course, like most Japanese, she firmly believed that the Tokugawa shogunate sent samurai to assassinate Emperor Guangming.

The emperor Mingzheng hated the Tokugawa shogunate in his heart. This was the first time in Japanese history that the emperor was assassinated. It was an absolute shame for the Japanese royal family.

On the second day after the death of Emperor Guangming, Emperor Mingzheng ascended the throne again.

For many years, the Emperor of Japan has been oppressed by the shogunate, giving the Japanese royal family a false name.

This made the Japanese royal family hate the Tokugawa shogunate for a long time. This time the shogunate assassinated Emperor Guangming, which made the beautiful female emperor of the Japanese royal family hate the Tokugawa shogunate even more.

In her heart, overthrowing the Tokugawa shogunate has become the most important thing.

Immediately after Emperor Meisho came to power, he quietly contacted many powerful daimyos.

However, those big names all supported Emperor Meizheng, but they did not dare to send troops to attack the Tokugawa shogunate.

There are also daimyo who see the emperor as a woman, and they even have evil thoughts about Mingzheng.

This allowed Emperor Mingzheng to fully see the faces of the Japanese daimyos. Even if the shogunate fell, the Japanese imperial family would still be emptied.

The most critical problem is that they are not yet capable of fighting against the Tokugawa shogunate. Mingzheng feels that cooperating with them is likely to lose his wife and lose his army.

The hatred for the shogunate made Emperor Mingzheng eager to find a strong backer, as long as the shogunate was brought down, she could do anything.

So she thought of a person she was unwilling to ask for help, and that was the Ming Dynasty.

With the development of Daming industry, more and more farmers began to enter the factory.

Now the goods produced by Daming are no longer for the use of its own citizens, but also become the world's factories.

The neighboring countries of Ming Dynasty and some western countries depend heavily on imports from Ming Dynasty.

In this way, there is also a problem in Ming Dynasty, that is, the shortage of labor force.

Although the population of Ming Dynasty has recovered well in recent years, it will take at least ten years for them to grow up.

Qianqing Palace

The ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty are reporting to Zhu Youjian with a sad face:

"Your Majesty, the disaster situation in the northwest has been alleviated due to population migration, but the farmers in various places are not very enthusiastic about farming, and most of the labor has gone to factories. Huaxia is a farming nation. This is not a good phenomenon."

"Your Majesty, although what the Secretary of the Household Department said has some truth, the Ministry of Industry is still short of manpower! Even if many farmers enter the factory, the labor shortage still exists.

Everyone wants to do a lighter and cleaner job, but there is a serious shortage of workers in mining and heavy industries, and many young people are actively enlisting in the army, which is also one of the reasons for the shortage..."

Of course Zhu Youjian can understand what they said, and this kind of problem will also occur in later generations.

The people all went to the city to work, and a large area of ​​cultivated land was barren, and the rest of the cultivated land was planted with trees.

Farmers basically only have enough to eat when farming, and some pocket money would be nice.

It is simply impossible for farmers to make a fortune by planting a few acres of land at home.

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said:

"In the north, northeast and outer northeast regions, the winter climate is still very cold, which is not suitable for human survival at all.

The population there can temporarily migrate to the south, and when the bad weather passes, they are going back.

At present, the Ming army is attacking Japan, if the factories and mines are short of people, they can capture prisoners and serve Daming for free,"

Zhu Youjian's words immediately made the two ministers smile, and hurriedly cupped their hands and said:

"Your Majesty, you are so wise! If you can get free labor to dig mines, build roads and cultivate land for Daming, that would be the best."

During World War II, millions of Japanese were arrested by the Soviet Union to work as coolies, and hundreds of thousands were tortured to death. Zhu Youjian knew this very well.

Since Little Japan has committed heinous crimes against China, Zhu Youjian can certainly think of letting them come to Daming to do free coolies.

It's just that people in some parts of Japan, Zhu Youjian wanted them to be extinct, and didn't even give them the qualifications to be coolies.

For example, the Satsuma Fan of the Navy and the Changzhou Fan of the Army, they are the Japanese who have done the most harm to China.

Japan has a population of nearly ten million, and it is impossible for Zhu Youjian to kill them all. If so, what is the use of several empty islands.

Hearing that the emperor was planning to go to Japan to catch coolies, Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Household Department, and Meng Zhaoxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, immediately stood up and resigned.

"Your Majesty, since you want to solve the problem of labor shortage, I will take my leave first."

After the two ministers retired, Zhu Youjian decided to visit Japan in two days.

As a time traveler, Zhu Youjian is still very curious about Japan.

Besides, for the three-way army that attacked Japan, Qi Jiguang suspended the attack for three days and rested for three days, but Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan said that they did not order the attack.

The North Korean soldiers led by Lu Aiguo also did not stop attacking.

The equipment and combat effectiveness of the Korean soldiers are not as good as the main force of the Ming army, but their equipment is better than that of the Japanese.

As their attacks on cities increased, the casualties also increased. When Li Dingguo attacked Kitakyushu, Lu Aiguo had only 5000 troops left.

If it weren't for the 2000 troops led by Zheng Chenggong's younger brother Zheng Zongming, Lu Aiguo would actually have only about 3000 soldiers.

Zheng Zongming is Zheng Chenggong's younger brother Tianchuan Qizuo in Japan. When the Ming army attacked Hirado, he led his troops to take Hirado.

The two armies joined forces in Kitakyushu, and the entire Kyushu island was formally controlled by the Ming army. More than 8 prisoners were captured, and all the vital forces were wiped out.

While Li Dingguo, Zhang Huangyan, and Lu Aiguo took Kyushu Island, the Ming Navy and Longteng Army led by Huang Degong and Zhang Mingzhen were also raging wildly on Shikoku Island.

Opening the way in front of them were [-] aborigines from Southeast Asia, and they were unequivocal in their initiation of devils.

As long as the Ming army bombards the Japanese fort, these cannon fodder will immediately land with the support of the Ming army's artillery fire and go shopping with Little Japan.

During the siege, they also rushed in front of the Ming army. With their little combat power, if it weren't for the support of the Ming army, they would have perished with the Japanese long ago.

The huge advantages in equipment allowed the Ming army and the Ming army to be invincible all the way in Shikoku Island, successively breaking through Sanuki, Aiyo, Tosa, and Tokushima.

After all, there is such a big place, and even though they did not encounter too many challenges, the Ming army took half a month to capture more than [-] prisoners.

In this way, the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku in Japan are under the control of Daming.

The 20 captives were all shipped to Daming, and the men were sent to various mining areas and farms.

Women were sent to garment factories, textile factories, etc., and good-looking women were sent to Yichunlou in various places.

What awaits these Japanese people will be free contributions to Ming Dynasty for life.

Now there are only some small islands and Honshu Island that have not been completely captured.

Honshu Island is the largest island in Japan, and the Ming army has only captured the big city of Edo so far.

Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe, Yokohama, etc. are still in the hands of the shogunate.

　The head of the Tokugawa shogunate is Tadaki Sakai, if he made a mistake before, he will correct it later!
