Chapter 742 True Rule

Even before the fleet arrived, the momentum was already building up.

The emperor's tours around the world were known to all in East Asia, as long as the information was not particularly secluded. Not to mention that the two empires of the Ming and Qing Dynasties had made a lot of information closer to the bottom of society due to the widespread dissemination of newspapers.

The existence of newspapers in this era was far more useful than those within the two empires.

The vassals of the Black Flag Qing Dynasty were in many remote places, so the spread was not very fast.

In terms of culture, the Ming Dynasty was more powerful.

Even though the neighboring countries and vassals of the Ming Dynasty looked at the Ming Dynasty at the end of the feudal dynasty and had ulterior motives, they were still inextricably linked to the Ming Dynasty culturally and economically.

And newspapers can give them a clearer understanding of Ming society.

So.

The newspapers produced by the most famous newspapers in the Ming Dynasty are now spread throughout Ryukyu, Mo's, Zheng's, Ruan's Vietnam, Nanzhang Kingdom, Cambodia, Siam, Taungoo and other countries.

The Qing Dynasty is also included in this list.

Even the Four Islands, Luzon, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal are extremely enthusiastic about these newspapers.

They specially engaged in translators and newspaper translations for this purpose, and sent many of them back to Europe.

Some Mongolians even made translations and sent them to the Western Regions or grasslands.

Today there may be newspapers traveling along the Silk Road to the Middle East.

In order to pursue newspapers in various places, the post stations of the Ming Dynasty came to life, and their operation efficiency was still very high, perhaps even higher than during the heyday of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that Longwu is not aware of the cultural advantages and global voice that are delivered to his door.

It was also through the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty that almost half of the world knew that the emperor who took office in the Qing Dynasty carried out a grand tour that was costly to people and money.

Zhu Youjian's fleet arrived in the middle of the night. That night, the Tokyo garrison Black Flag and the navy contacted each other to control the port. They then announced that the port would not be open in the morning and Tokyo residents were not allowed to approach.

That night, all the samurai and black warrior groups who had been wandering around Tokyo city fell silent.

The fire fighting show that had been taking place every night in Tokyo for most of the month also stopped.

Most of the world knows that Zhu Youjian is on patrol.

Naturally, the city of Tokyo must be prepared to welcome the emperor.

Even three days before the emperor's arrival, various daimyo and court ministers had gathered in Tokyo. Therefore, in the days waiting for the emperor's arrival, the conflict between the old forces and the new forces in the streets became more and more intense.

When political struggles spread to the lower levels, there will naturally be bloodshed.

The next morning, Zhu Youjian asked his concubines and children to stay on the boat first, and then led his officials to disembark.

As soon as he appeared on the ship, he saw a large group of officials guarding the dock far away.

When they saw Zhu Youjian, they immediately became excited, each yelling something, and even started a small fight with fists and kicks on the spot.

After checking the boat with Zhu You, everyone knelt down and shouted noisily.

"Your Majesty! The new party's thieves are so ambitious! The wild samurai under his banner are attacking everywhere and causing havoc in Tokyo! The new party's thieves are even using this to bring trouble to the imperial court! They regard the names of the emperor's relatives as if they are nothing! They regard the honor of the public as nothing!"

"Nonsense! Your Majesty's warning! The common people have been suffering for a long time! The Yamagata Rebellion has not yet been settled. What's wrong with the martial law in Tokyo? On the contrary, it's what you people are thinking. Do you think the Emperor doesn't know!? Now the imperial court wants to send troops to your original fiefdom. Not even an official!
You are clearly thinking about the old dynasty!In vain, Your Majesty's benevolence allows you to eat the rice of the Imperial Dynasty, Your Majesty!emperor!Weichen, please remove your position from the position of Daimyo!It is enough for me to treat you with nobility, food and salary in the Qing Dynasty!We can no longer allow these people to support themselves as soldiers."

"Bold!"

"Silence, silence!!"

The guards and eunuchs scolded them, and they obediently moved out of the way, but their shouts continued unabated.

Knowing that the people guarding here are all minions, those who are really in charge of the Tokyo government cherish their status very much, and there is no way they would come here to seek this bad luck.

Zhu Youjian directly asked the black guards to wave their sticks to drive them away.

Among them were many people who had been beaten to death and still shouted, acting like they were criticizing officials.

It can be seen that the struggle between the new forces and the old forces has become fierce.It was so shameless.

Soon, Zhao Bai, who had completed the handover with Tokyo Sticky Rod Office, came back.

"Tell me."

"Back to my master, in this month alone in Tokyo, there have been 67 armed fights. Excluding those involving firearms, there were a total of fifteen fights. Many daimyo were affected, and some daimyo were even assassinated, but they were not injured. "

The Japanese shogunate enfeoffed the daimyo. Although the daimyo's status was much lower than before, the daimyo still had autonomy over his own territory. As long as he did not go too far and left a clue to the shogunate, he enacted laws to collect taxes, and made offerings to the shogunate from time to time. This territory is still your own territory.

When the Black Flag Court was first established, it did not directly and frequently reach out to the daimyo's territory.

But it's different now.

Even if Zhu Youjian refused, the imperial court would definitely covet the local power of the daimyo.

Zhu Youjian came and went again and again.

It's both letting go and finishing.

"What are the people's intentions? Not just in Tokyo, but outside of Tokyo, and also in Osaka."

"From what I can gather from the sticky pole, the common people in Tokyo and Osaka mostly support the imperial court. For the daimyo outside the two cities, the common people mostly support the daimyo."

Zhu Youjian, who was sitting in the palace, nodded when he heard the words. The pattern was still the same.

"First summon the ministers in Tokyo who have the power to discuss political affairs, and then... let's hold a court meeting."

All the prominent people from the four islands gathered together.

"Many battle reports of the Yamagata Rebellion will be submitted in detail first, and they will be prepared so that the ministers can see them when the time comes."

"Whoo."

See what happens to rebellion.

The Four Islands are colonies after all.

Even if there is a deputy capital here, local forces and various ethnic groups will not be able to fully integrate into the Chinese cultural circle.

If you want to train this traitor well, you have to take your time.

The proper thing is to send the advance fleet away first.

In other words, as long as you don't rebel, your struggle can take its time.

Of course, without rebelling and completely cleaning each other out, the final result can only be a fight.

And this is exactly what Zhu Youjian wants.

Neither a rebellious Si Dao nor a loyal Si Dao is what he wants.

Not up or down is just right.

Real rule lies in education, culture, and the daily life and customs of the people.
There are a lot of Chinese characters appearing in the newly built streets and markets of Tokyo. Signs, notices, and all kinds of text are mixed in. It seems to have become a fashion. Those who use Chinese characters are more advanced.

The imperial examination has now become the biggest aspiration of ordinary people. Stories about many untouchables who studied and obtained fame and then became lords are spread everywhere.

But in the books related to the imperial examination, all the knowledge is written in Chinese characters.

So children can only learn Chinese characters.

Even the newspaper opened two issues.

One issue is in Japanese characters and is only used for announcing speeches on bulletin boards in markets. The other issue is in Chinese characters and is the most widely circulated issue.

Only readers who understand Sinology can understand it.
