Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 761
Zhu Youjian looked at the Chinese soldiers and then at the Japanese daimyos, he suddenly felt very funny.

However, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, these great Mings have all surrendered now, so he can't show it clearly.

He looked at the charming former emperor of Japan beside him, and Zhu Youjian said:

"Miss Xingzi, come and read out the relevant decisions and systems of Ming Dynasty towards Japan."

"According to the purpose"

Xingzi led the decree, immediately opened a book coupon and began to read:
"His Majesty the Ming Emperor has decided to formally end the Tokugawa Shogunate starting today, and remove all the official positions in the Shogunate including General Zheng Yi.

After the emperor voluntarily abdicates, Japan will become a province of Ming Dynasty. The name of the province will be Dongying Province, and the capital will be established in Tokyo, which is now Edo.

Disbandment of all Japanese armies except the Ming Association Army, and the disbanded soldiers' life after the disbandment, the Ming court made its own arrangements.

The Ming Dynasty will station 25 troops in Japan, of which [-] will be stationed in Yokosuka.

Because of his outstanding performance, Mao Liqiu was loyal to Daming and was granted the title of Viscount.

At the same time, he served as the deputy governor of the Dongying Ming Association Army, assisting Tang Wang Zhu Yujian in managing the security of Dongying Province.

The other daimyos were transferred from each other to serve as deputy posts in various government offices, and the magistrate was appointed by the Ming court.

But family members of Daming can do business, go to work, and freely travel to and from the interior of Daming.

No daimyo is allowed to keep samurai privately, and he can have two hundred light soldiers.

In addition, ordinary people in Japan are not allowed to hide firearms privately, and civilian and non-military organizations are also prohibited from using firearms..."

Xingzi finished reading Zhu Youjian's decision in one breath, which immediately caused a commotion among the daimyo who surrendered in Japan.

Of course Mao Li was happy to be assassinated, he was actually made a Viscount by Daming, and served as the Deputy Commander of the Ming Association Army.

This kid was really grateful, and he lay down in front of Zhu Youjian and shouted long live three times.

The other daimyos are not reconciled, but what can they do? If they refuse to obey, they will die, and the whole clan will be wiped out.

However, family members can go to work or do business, and they can also travel to and from the inland of Ming Dynasty, which is very attractive to them.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa Shogunate, he divided the land of the whole of Japan into about 3000 million shi, and initially sealed more than 200 daimyo.

Over the past 50 years, in order to consolidate the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, the three generations of generals have deprived most daimyo of all or part of their territories on various charges.

More than 150 new daimyos have been added, which are divided into three grades: pro-vassal daimyo, genealogical daimyo, and foreign daimyo, keeping the total number of Japanese daimyos at nearly [-].

Equivalent to [-] daimyos dividing up [-]% of Japan's land (the other [-]% is the territory directly under the Tokugawa shogunate.)
Of course, Zhu Youjian would not retain this feudal federal system. He even canceled the fief of the Daming vassal, so how could he give the Japanese daimyo a fief.

According to the administrative division of Japan in later generations, he divided Japan into Tokyo Prefecture, Osaka Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture and 43 counties, with several towns and villages under it.

Not all countries can be said to be vast and rich in resources. People who grew up in different countries have completely different views on their own country since childhood.

Chinese people have known since childhood that China is a vast country, majestic and magnificent, rich in products, and omnipresent. That kind of pride arises spontaneously from time to time.

But the Japanese are different. When they think about Japan, the territory is small and the supplies are scarce, and many necessities of life have to be solved through trade.

Before modern times, the Japanese lived a miserable life. Even the Japanese nobles, let alone the common people, did not even deserve their names. How could they live a good life.

Under the overall situation of hard work, Japan's mentality has also changed accordingly.

As long as I have the opportunity, I want to rush out of the island country, go to a wider space to find fertile land, and live a truly good life.

The place they want to go the most is naturally the dream country of Silk, their old neighbor Daming.

Ancient China was almost always the most prosperous country in the world. Even small businessmen lived better than Japanese nobles, which deeply shocked the hearts of little Japan.

A total of four wars broke out in the history of China and Japan. The Tang Dynasty Baijiangkou Naval Battle, the Ming Dynasty Resisting the Japanese and Aid Korea, the Qing Dynasty Sino-Japanese War, and the Republic of China Anti-Japanese War were all initiated by Japan.

From the Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China, for more than 1000 years, Japan always cared about eating but not fighting. Every few hundred years, it had to set up a posture to fight against China.

The desire to break out of the Japanese island and go to the whole world is obvious.

The reason why the Japanese are so ambitious, motivated, and fearless of failure all stems from the defects of geographical conditions. Lack of resources is their blemish, and it has been like this for thousands of years.

Everyone can do business with the inland of the Ming Dynasty, which also made the lost daimyos excited again in an instant, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three times, long live my emperor.

In view of the initial determination of the current situation, Zhu Youjian can only govern Japan in this way for the time being, and wants to make a big move against Japan.

Political, economic, and educational reforms, and the implementation of more policies, will still take a few years to transition.

These are all left to Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, and there are immigration issues. If Zhu Yujian can't even do these things well, he can only return to Nanyang and continue to be Tang Wang.

The only way is to raise the living standards of the Japanese first, and then you can do whatever you want in the future, and whoever is full wants to rebel.

After enfeoffment, the daimyo who were withdrawn or cut down need to hand over their power and territory.

All of this will take some time to complete, and it is estimated that it will take more than a month. If there are some conflicts and twists and turns, it will have to be delayed.

The Ming Dynasty stationed 25 troops in the Japanese army, of course, including tens of thousands of Ming allies, this is not a small number.

As long as the giant Buddha of the Ming army guards Japan, all ghosts and monsters will not dare to take any action lightly, even if they are dissatisfied, they have to endure it.

The good intentions of Emperor Mingzheng finally paid off, and the imperial palace was completely preserved.

Xingzi still lives in the palace, but the name of the palace has been changed to Chonghou Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen's harem means that Zhu Youjian will often come to Dongying for inspections in the future, and this is the foothold.

The Battle of Conquering the Sun lasted for two months, causing great damage to Japan's social production.

After the meeting, Zhu Youjian's appeasement policy played a big role in gradually stabilizing the chaotic situation in Japan, and re-opened the sea trade that had been interrupted for half a year.

There is less than a month before the New Year, and merchant ships from Daming are crowded with ports such as Osaka, Edo, Nagasaki, and Kobe.

It was sold out in less than three days, and each of these merchant ships made a lot of money.

The big names who made a small fortune through the war need a lot of high-end goods to decorate their facades, and they are the main consumers of Ming merchants.

Some daimyos even sent people to Daming to buy real estate, planning to live there for two or three months every year to experience life in a prosperous country.

Ming benefited more from the war against Japan, not only turning Japan into the province of Japan, but also confiscated more than 3000 million taels of gold and silver.

In addition, there were nearly [-] captives, and Japan's silver mines were also in the hands of Daming.

In the late 16th century, Japan set off a boom in mineral exploration, and silver mines were discovered in many areas.

During the long period of more than 1562 years from 400 to the Edo period, the Iwami Silver Mine located in Ota City, Shimane Prefecture, Japan was the largest silver mine in Japan and even in the world.

Japan became one of the few silver-producing countries in the world, so that one-third of the world's silver was produced in Japan at that time.

For this reason, Japan was called the "Silver Islands" by the people of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, almost all materials except silver were in short supply.
