Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 290 Chapter 290: To pacify Japan, the plan to govern Japan!

Two months later.

The time has come to March of the 34th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty!
The harsh winter has passed, and spring has arrived when all things revive. After nearly six months of war in Japan, the war is finally over!

It took Zhu Xifeng half a year to successfully conquer Japan and unify the entire territory of Japan!
To be able to achieve such a result, the casualties on the Ming side were naturally not small. Sixty thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty died directly on the battlefield, including 20,000 navy troops, 30,000 imperial troops, and even Zhu Xiafeng's own bodyguards. , more than 700 people were damaged!
But compared to Japan's casualties, the Ming Dynasty definitely won!
Dozens of battles, large and small, were carried out, and the total number of young and middle-aged men in Japan who could fight was about 1.8 million!

There are still quite a few that can be seen. If those who died without complete bodies or whose identities cannot be determined are counted, the number will definitely exceed two million!

The population of Japan as a whole is only tens of millions, and the proportion of young adults is only 15 million at most. Today, there are only a few hundred thousand males aged 40- left.

In addition to the nearly two million old, young, women and children left, there are sixteen Japanese families who have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty!
The number of puppet troops they control is around 200,000!

In other words, in Japan, there are only about 300,000 young and middle-aged people who can handle it and can still form a certain combat effectiveness!

This includes those who were injured on the battlefield and left disabled after participating in the war!

It can be said that the entire Japan suffered a great purge because of this war of annihilation!
Inside Kyoto City.

These Japanese people are not only cruel to their enemies, they are even more cruel to their own people!
Even if my wife, children, children are about to die, I can't leave them to the enemy, but die in my own hands. It's really easy to do this!

"Commander, our people discovered that the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimachi and that bullshit emperor had committed suicide in the palace!"

"Actually, those who have made the greatest contribution are those soldiers who have died on the battlefield!"

"They are the biggest contributors to this battle!"

Lan Yu and other Huaixi nobles began to pat Zhu Xifeng's horses.

However, Zhu Xifeng's next words made Lan Yu and others look at them with awe and awe!

You must know that Zhu Xifeng is only fifteen years old now. He fought a war to destroy the country and helped the Ming Dynasty expand its territory!
Such achievements were placed in front of him, but he could still hold back and not become complacent because of it. He could still think of the soldiers who died on the battlefield, which was enough to show Zhu Xiafeng's character and character!
"The commander is right, let me wait to shame!"

"They deserve to be exterminated!"

"Almost all their wives, children, and children died beside them. They were all stabbed to death!"

Zhu Xiafeng's army has occupied the entire palace. At the same time, the Ming army began a bloodbath against the last Japanese royal family!
“These Japanese Japanese pirates really don’t have any self-awareness at all!”

Zhu Xifeng looked at the scene of blood flowing into the river, but his heart was not disturbed. Instead, he snorted in a very dissatisfied tone.

When Zhu Xifeng heard this, he was somewhat speechless.

"They should have done it themselves!"

"It's all thanks to the collective efforts of all the officers and soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy. I don't dare to be greedy for credit!"

"If you die like this, it will be an advantage for them!"

"Why do these Japanese pirates always commit suicide by disembowelling themselves? Aren't they afraid of pain?"

"After this battle, Japan has been completely defeated by us!"

"What kind of class are they? How dare they call themselves emperor?"

"Being able to conquer Japan, the commander-in-chief is the main contributor!"

Lan Yu led several generals to Zhu Xia Feng and reported the situation in the palace to Zhu Xia Feng.

The coach of this expedition is Zhu Xia Feng, and Zhu Xia Feng has grown up in the past six months. It can be said that if these Huaixi generals encounter Zhu Xia Feng on the battlefield, they would not dare to say that they can win!

"Those soldiers who died on the battlefield are the greatest contributors to the Ming Dynasty!"

Lan Yu nodded heavily and agreed.

"I leave the finishing work of Kyoto City to you. If you catch the remnants of the shogunate or the royal family, shoot them to death!"

"I will find a quieter place to write a successful report to the court!"

Zhu Xifeng waved his hand and said nothing more. After giving instructions to Lan Yu and others, he led his team of personal guards and turned around and left!
The past six months have been a brand new experience for Zhu Xifeng, and it has also made him grow and mature a lot!

Eight days later, the news of the unification of Japan reached Xi'an Prefecture.

In the morning court, when Zhu Yuanzhang directly had people read out the victory report in front of all civil and military officials, the whole court was in an uproar!

Obviously, most of the court officials did not expect that the Ming Dynasty could completely include Japan within the Ming Dynasty's territory in just half a year!
Japan is not North Korea. It is almost impossible to take it down without bloodshed!
The victory in the Battle of Japan was due to the Ming Dynasty soldiers fighting with real swords and guns!
In fact, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had mixed opinions about the Ming Dynasty's ability to attack the entire Japan. There is always a group of people who still insist that the Ming Dynasty's move harms the peace of the world, and even damages the dignity of the Ming Dynasty!

But now it's a done deal, everything has been settled!

On the contrary, it was the group of main combatants who stood up at this time and began to congratulate Zhu Yuanzhang with excitement on their faces. Others could not interrupt, let alone say anything more!
As the commander-in-chief of this attack on Japan, Zhu Xifeng naturally became the target of praise from most of the courtiers. For a time, the prestige of His Highness the Wind King gradually increased in the court, and no one dared to underestimate him!

In response, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li, father and son, looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes!
After the morning court, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue came to the imperial garden.

"Japan has been conquered, how to arrange the follow-up governance preparations?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Yue.

It's easy to fight the country, but it's hard to keep it.

After opening up a territory and expanding its territory, the first thing to consider is how to govern it.

Sending officials to Japan is only the first step. In other words, officials are just implementing policies, and what kind of policies to implement need to be formulated by the court!
In this regard, Ming Dynasty has accumulated a lot of experience in North Korea.

However, the situation in Japan is obviously much more complicated than that in North Korea, and a lot of experience is actually useless to Japan!

"If you deal with the issues of women and children, you will have solved more than half of Japan's governance issues, and other issues will no longer be a problem!"

Zhu Yue said sharply.

"Where are the specific regulations?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"Encourage intermarriage between Han and Japanese women. Whoever marries a Japanese woman will get an extra acre of land! The upper limit is three!"

"Japanese women are not allowed to be wives, but can only be concubines. The next generation's legitimate mother must be Han!" "Children born in this way, regardless of whether the biological mother is Japanese or not, will be included in the Han nationality!"

Zhu Yue revealed the plan he had made.

"Well, this is a good idea. Japanese women really cannot be wives!"

"The children they give birth to must also be disciplined by Han aunts!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with deep understanding.

"The Ming Dynasty soldiers stationed in Japan and the Han people who are about to migrate there are all within the scope of this policy."

"The main thing is to rely on these ordinary people who migrated over. The proportion of young and middle-aged men must not be less than 30%. At least 300,000 people are needed to fill the shortage of men among Japanese women!"

"As long as women's problems are solved, the next thing to solve is the education of children!"

"Except for some orphans due to the war, if the mother of the child marries a Han as a concubine, the child will be able to receive free basic education in the Ming Dynasty!"

"The imperial court must instill in these children the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and use Han thinking to influence their next generation!"

"In this way, in about twenty years, Japan will be able to completely return to its homeland."

"The sixteen Japanese famous families and their family power that originally survived will not have any chance to cause trouble again!"

Zhu Li continued to explain.

"With the current state of Japan, it will probably take at least a hundred years for the population to gradually recover!"

"If you want to break through tens of millions again, it may not be possible even in a hundred years!"

"But by that time, it is estimated that the Han people in Japan will account for at least 70% of the Japanese population!"

Zhu Yuanzhang even smiled proudly.

Think about how majestic and majestic the Tang Dynasty was during its heyday?
Countries destroyed by the Tang Dynasty can be counted on both hands!

Today's Zhu Yuanzhang finally experienced this feeling. It was just to destroy the country. Today's Ming Dynasty can also do it!
This is the truth that dignity is only at the edge of the sword, and truth is only at the range of the cannon!

As long as you are strong, you can do anything!
If you fall behind, you will be beaten!

If you fall behind and don't get beaten, it's just that they haven't got around to beating you yet!

If Ming wants to always play the role of beating people instead of the role of being beaten, he must continue to develop and grow and always be ahead of the world!

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt full of high spirits!

During the Hongwu period, the Ming Dynasty was able to capture North Korea without a single blow, and at the same time directly annihilated Japan, which was enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang proud!
Just for this achievement, how many emperors from ancient times to the present can achieve it?
Li Shimin couldn't even defeat a single Goguryeo!

Not to mention Japan!
This is not the same thing as casually destroying a small country in the Western Region!

The Ming Dynasty's current war to destroy the country will only be more valuable than the Tang Dynasty, and it is completely different!
"By the way, who do you think the imperial court should send to guard Japan?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a change of subject.

It is one thing not to send the vassal king to Japan for the time being, but garrisoning troops is a must. The selection of generals must also be carefully considered, and the most suitable people must be selected!
"Let Xu Huizu go!"

Zhu Yue directly said the name that he had decided on long ago!
"he?"

"The Xu family boy is indeed a suitable candidate!"

"We don't have to worry about his having any second thoughts, and Xu Huizu has no shortage of means and is also very calm. We can rest assured when we send him to Japan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement. Apparently, the father and son had reached a consensus on this candidate.

"How about giving him a Japanese naval governor?"

"It just so happens that Feng'er is about to return to Korea. Let him go to Japan and just focus on military issues!"

Zhu Li thought for a while and then revealed his arrangement for Xu Huizu!
"Not bad, we think this position is suitable!"

"We will give him 50,000 naval troops, and in addition, we will also give him the command of Japan's 200,000 Ming and puppet troops!"

"Let's talk to him tonight, announce the appointment at the morning meeting tomorrow morning, and let him go to Japan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

……

Just after the morning court ended the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang announced in front of the civil and military officials of the court that Xu Huizu had been appointed as the governor of the Japanese Navy and took office immediately.

This incident also caused quite a stir in the court.

Most officials thought that after conquering Japan, Zhu Yuanzhang would also send a prince to Japan to establish a vassal state. After all, isn't that what happened in North Korea?

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to let the vassal king guard Japan, but directly sent Wei Guogong Xu Huizu to Japan as a naval governor!

Isn't this the same as asking Xu Huizu to go to Japan and become the emperor?
You must know that the entire military power of Japan will be in the hands of Xu Huizu by then!
Wasn't the emperor worried that Xu Huizu would have any second thoughts?
The majority of court officials have such thoughts. In fact, most people will subconsciously judge others by themselves. However, for anything they take for granted, they think that others will think the same way, or even do it!

In other words, if they are sent to Japan to become the emperor, they will definitely have their own little thoughts, and even have the idea of ​​​​supporting their own troops!

But as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue said, Xu Huizu was indeed the most suitable candidate among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty!
Not to mention anything else, just that he is Xu Da's son, this is enough!
Of course, to take a step back, even if Xu Huizu does have a problem, Zhu Li has plenty of means to deal with him, so this aspect is not a problem at all!
On the third day after the Japanese news was returned, Xu Huizu left for his post!

He was accompanied by a large number of officials sent by the imperial court!

At the same time, plans to relocate people from coastal areas are also in progress.

From Lingnan to Hebei, at least 100,000 people have migrated from each province, and the total number can be about one million. They will go to Japan in batches!
After all, this number of people is too large, and it is impossible to migrate at the same time. Moreover, the sudden influx of so many people into Japan will inevitably make the already unstable situation in Japan even more chaotic!

Ten days later, Xu Huizu and the officials sent by the imperial court all arrived in Japan, and met Zhu Xifeng and a group of Huaixi nobles who had been waiting here in Saga City, Kyushu!
Because they were occupying Japan, Zhu Xifeng and the others could not return to Japan until the imperial court sent someone to take over. After all, Japan still needed people to take care of it!

But the arrival of Xu Huizu and these officials means that Zhu Xifeng and the others can retire with success!
