Chapter 1033 The General Assembly
Zhu Cilang rode a tall horse and treated ministers from a narrow country with the style of the king of the Supreme Kingdom to treat ministers from a minor country. He came to Matsupita Nobuang with a condescending force.
One meter-5-meter-old Nobugang Matsupita bowed respectfully to the ground and said, "My minister, Nobugang Matsupita has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will live and live forever!"
The ministers of the shogunate clan all knelt on the ground, bowed three times and nine times, and said in unison: "Long live the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, long live, long live, long live!"
Zhu Cilang nodded and thought to himself that this generation of Japanese people is quite sensible and knows how to be a human being with their tails in between.
The Japanese have the elements of obedience to the strong. The Ming Dynasty was strong and the Ming army swept Japan, making these Japanese officials feel that the Ming Dynasty was a father and it was not embarrassing to condescend and welcome him!
Zhu Cixuan raised his right hand on the war horse and said, "Let's just flat!"
Matsuhira Nobuzuo then straightened his waist, and the other royal families and ministers also stood up one after another, and then everyone walked into Edo Castle with a smile on their faces.
From beginning to end, they ignored the Mingzheng Queen beside the Ming Emperor, which made the Queen feel unfair.
After entering Edo, Zhu Cilang first ordered the seizure of all Edo's treasury, money, grain, household registration, etc., and strictly ordered the Ming army not to invade the people.
As for the shogunate army, it was dismissed by Takabon yesterday, and the Ming army took over the defense of Edo Castle to prevent the unexpected.
The architectural style of Edo Castle is similar to that of Kyoto, and both exudes a profound cultural atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Japan has learned from China since ancient times. Although it has paid tribute many times in all dynasties, it has never truly surrendered to China and does not recognize it as a vassal state of China.
This time the Ming army shogunate collapsed and the emperor was promoted. It can be said that Japan had basically destroyed its country, and it was only waiting for the Daming to finally announce it.
As the sky approached evening, lights were lit on the corridors of General Zhengyi's mansion, setting off a number of exquisitely decorated temples.
The mansion of the General of the Conquest Yi is quite luxurious, no worse than the imperial palace in Kyoto. It has artificial lakes, waterfalls, islands, trees, lakes and stones, etc., with staggered heights and combinations, which complement each other, and is an obvious Chinese garden style.
Looking at the scenery in the mansion, Zhu Cilang said to Wu Zhong: "I passed my will, and the court gave me a great reputation for surrendering and officials. The land was already supported and the same as before. No soldiers were allowed to invade fishermen and occupy the seeds."
On November 16, Zhu Cixuan issued a pacification policy to Japan: "I heard that you were exploited by the shogunate and were peaceful. I am not fond of soldiers but happy to fight. In order to eliminate disasters and save the people from the fire and peace of the world; the heavenly army will not disturb you, and the people in the cities and villages will live and trade as usual, so that they will not be alarmed."
"If the wise men of the mountain and lakes, all civil and military officials, military and civilians, and other people, who are originally from the vassal state or are famous for their own local names, they will still be recruited and assigned important tasks; if they refuse to accept the situation, they will be placed under the throne and be prostitutes."
In a word, changing the dynasty without changing the generations, the Japanese interest groups and social order have been successfully continued.
Finally, Zhu Cilang added a sentence after the decree, and held a meeting of the vassals in Edo Castle at the end of the month. He refused everyone and did not refuse.
During this period of time, Zhu Cilang accepted old ministers of the shogunate, mobilized officials from various yamen to do their jobs as usual, and at the same time declared the dynasty's policy of advocating integrity.
With this operation, Japan, which was originally panicked, quickly returned to peace. The daimyos who were waiting and watching really felt that the shogunate was out of the blue and rushed to Edo to apologize to the Ming army and exchange for tickets to participate in the vassal conference.
The person responsible for entertaining these daimyos was former shogunate scholar Bainitojoko. This was his old job, and all the daimyos of the vassals knew him.
In the early years, when Daming met with the general, it was Ito Joko who was responsible for conveying it.
The lord of the Sendai vassal state, who was trying to get along well, also came. He followed Zhu Cixuan's will and only brought ten followers to Edo to apologize, looking like he was left to fate.
Regarding this guy, Ito Joko didn't give him a good look. The food and accommodation arranged for him were inferior and there was a restriction on freedom.
Ida Tada Zong even regretted his intestines, but at this point, what else could he do? He had to pretend to be deaf and bear it silently without saying a word.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Cixuan summoned 108 Japanese daimyos at the General of the Conquest of the Yi, officially announced the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate and exempted all official positions from the General of the Conquest of the General of the Conquest of the General of the Conquest of the General of the Conquest of the.
Then, Zhu Cilang changed Edo to Tokyo, and the Ming Dynasty moved the East Protectorate to Tokyo, and former shogunate officials entered the East Protectorate to serve.
The tone was set, and Zhu Cixuan re-enfeuded all Japanese daimyos.
After Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa Shogunate, the land in Japan was divided into about 30 million stones, and initially more than 200 daimyos were granted.
Over the past fifty years, in order to consolidate the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the three generations of the generals of the expedition deprived most of the Daming of all or part of the territory on various charges, and added more than 150 new Daming, which were divided into three levels: Daming of the Daming of the Protoss and Daming of the Foreign Daming of the Day, which kept the total number of Daming of the Japanese Daming at nearly 300.
It is equivalent to 300 daimyos dividing 80% of Japan's land (the other 20% are directly under the Tokugawa Shogunate territory.)
Zhu Cixuan obviously would not retain this feudal federal system. According to the administrative divisions of later generations, he divided the whole of Japan into Tokyo Prefecture, Osaka Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture and forty-three prefectures, with several towns and villages under it.
Maori Outline and other Daming who were the first to surrender to Ming Dynasty and made meritorious deeds, enthroned viscounts, and rewarded a county as a fiefdom. The rest of the Daming who failed to do so were drawn by lottery according to the size of the original land, with one town or village...
Zhu Cixuan's move was equivalent to finding a group of town chiefs and village chiefs for free for a period of time. Their family samurai became local yamen runners, temporarily stabilizing the situation in Japan.
All daimyos are only allowed to be hereditary for three generations, and no more than five hundred warriors are raised.
There are still restrictions on hereditary, which the Japanese are a little confused, which aroused the dissatisfaction of some daimyos.
However, when Zhu Cixuan announced that he would allow the Japanese to enter and leave the Ming Dynasty freely, they would serve in the Ming army, and they looked happy again.
This privilege is a dream for a Japanese.
Not all countries are considered to be vast and wealthy. People who grew up in different countries have completely different views on their own countries since childhood.
The Chinese have known since childhood that China is a great country, majestic and magnificent, rich in resources, and everything. That kind of pride comes naturally from time to time.
But the Japanese are different. When they think about Japan, their territory is small and their supplies are scarce, and many daily necessities have to be solved through trade.
In modern times, Japanese people lived a hard life, and were Japanese aristocrats in real time, and their lives were not much better, not to mention civilians. They didn’t even deserve names, so what good life could they live.
