Chapter 1303 Local Tyrant New Japan Asking for a Monthly Pass
Surrounded by everyone, Zhu Jishi slowly walked onto the "Hinomaru" along the gangway. Following the melodious music, Emperor Zhu stepped onto the teak deck. A burst of drums sounded, and people lined up on the deck to greet them.
The officers and soldiers of the Guards of the Kingdom of Japan knelt on one knee and shouted: "Long live the Ming Emperor, long live the Ming Emperor!"
"Father, these soldiers are the best soldiers," said a young man who looked very similar to Zhu Jishi, but was a few centimeters shorter. "My father's Japanese army follows the line of elite soldiers. Although the number is less than 50,000,
, but one can be worth ten..."
This young man is Zhu Xingyi, the current king of the Kingdom of Japan. Like his brother Zhu Huan, he was also raised by his mother according to the requirements of the military.?
"The adopted son is willing to lead troops to conquer North America on behalf of the emperor." Tokugawa Akiko, who is in her forties, smiled proudly. The Japanese King Zhu Xingyi is certainly her pride. He graduated from the Ming Dynasty Royal Army Officer with very excellent results.
After graduating from school, he was awarded the rank of General of the Ming Dynasty Army (honorary of course).
"Okay, my son wants to make great achievements, how can I not allow him to do so as a father?"
Zhu Jishi looked at his son and thought, Huan is an ambitious man, what about this Xingyi? If he is so ambitious, it will be a bit troublesome... After all, Japan is close to the Ming Dynasty!
"When I return to Japan, I will order all the troops and horses." Zhu Xingyi said excitedly. Young soldiers are always eager to go to the battlefield, especially Zhu Xingyi who grew up listening to his father's heroic deeds.
Mingzi's big black eyes flashed with sparks of love. "Your Majesty, under what name should the adopted son go to North America? Can he also lead a North American duke? Just like the eldest prince."
Do you want territory? The territory in North America is so big, it is definitely unfair to let Huan take it all. There are so many princes in the Ming Dynasty. There will be more emperors and grandsons in the future. Many people may not even have a prince. If they don't work hard, they can
I can only be among them indifferently.
Waiting for the rich man, why can Juan have so much? He is neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son... However, whether the territory of North America can be broken up and divided depends on the situation, but we cannot let a bunch of small Chinese countries fight against a united country.
white America.
Zhu Jishi patted his son on the shoulder, smiled and said to Mingzi: "Of course we can't let the adopted son's hard work go in vain, but a duke is not enough to raise the merits. How about this, how about giving the adopted son a prince from Beihua?"
"Prince of Beihua?" Mingzi was startled. She knew that Beihua was one of the Four Kingdoms planned by Zhu Jishi. Although it only has the land of ice and snow in Alaska now, it will definitely include a large area of Canadian territory in the future. "Yes.
Is there a fiefdom?"
Zhu Jishi laughed: "Of course there is a fiefdom, but it is not in Alaska, but on the land of Canada. In the future, the Beihua Kingdom will have more than twenty times the land of Japan! The adopted son's fiefdom can become an autonomous territory, attached to
The Kingdom of Beihua."
"Your Majesty, who will be the king of Beihua Kingdom?" Mingzi asked with some uncertainty. She really wanted her son to be the king of Beihua and leave Japan to Zhu Xingyi's grandson...
"Ah, I haven't thought about it yet. In the future, Beihua will be a big country with a population of hundreds of millions. It can keep pace with Donghua and jointly dominate North America." Zhu Jishi said his wishful thinking.
The future Canadian federation will only have a population of 35 million. Obviously, Beihua cannot take over the entire Canada. It is obviously very difficult to build a big country with a population of hundreds of millions there. However, it is still possible to create a population of tens of millions. Even if this country
Although he cannot be compared with Donghua, he can also contain the restless guy Juan in the north... As for the north,
Emperor Zhu has already made plans for the candidate for the King of Hua. Although Zhu Jishi has a lot of sons, the only one who can gain a foothold in Beihua, far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, is probably Zhu Heng, who is "loved by everyone". Although he
He is also of mixed race, but at heart he is a full-fledged Chinese. He is even proficient in Confucian classics, and his calligraphy is more beautiful than Zhu Jishi's.
As for giving a piece of land to Zhu Xingyi in Beihua, it is not actually to raise merit. In this era, Japanese civilians have no national consciousness - not long ago, they were untouchables who could be hacked by samurai masters with swords! But
The Japanese samurai class still have a certain degree of national consciousness. After entering China for more than ten years, most of them still maintain their family's Miao characters and samurai traditions. Zhu Jishi took out a piece of land in North China in order to further consolidate the Japanese mainland.
The samurai class population dispersed.
In contrast, those Japanese civilians without surnames have now happily accepted Chinese surnames and consider themselves Chinese. Of course, the King of Japan, Zhu Xingyi, also considers himself Chinese. He was educated in China since he was a child.
He went to Japan only after he became king. He later returned to China to study in the military academy and met Zhu Jishi and a bunch of brothers and sisters frequently. Therefore, his thinking and culture were completely Chinese, which was completely different from Juan.
"My son is willing to open up Beihua for my father!" Zhu Xingyi said happily. Of course he was very happy to have a piece of Beihua territory.
"Okay," Zhu Jishi said thoughtfully, "Yi'er, there won't be any problem in letting some of your ministers and people go to Beihua, right?"
"No, everyone knows the wealth of the New World." Xingyi smiled. "Even my son is very envious."
While they were talking, the father and son and Akiko had already entered the luxurious cabin of the "Hinomaru", and their own beautiful maid served tea and snacks. The tea was Japanese Gyokuro tea, which was fragrant, and the water was not polluted Huangpu River water.
, but Kobe mineral water, which is known as Japan's No. 1 mineral water - Japan now is actually a very good place, with beautiful environment, fresh air, and no industrial pollution. Japan's current industry is cane sugar and fruit cans
Head, salted fish, etc., there is basically no pollution. However, no matter how good Japan is, it is still a paradise for wealthy military families and mainland capitalists, and has nothing to do with ordinary poor people. Although the "100-acre farm support plan" has also been implemented in Japan
Ten years have passed, but there are still not many Japanese civilians who have obtained land. Instead, larger-scale "rental farms" have appeared in Japan. The only shortcut for Japanese civilians to obtain land is immigration.
New Japan in the New World is the best place for Japanese who want to immigrate. Because historically Chile became one of the richest countries in the world in the second half of the 19th century because of its rich resources. In this time and space, New Japan
Japan, together with Donghua, has become one of the countries with the highest national income in the world. The gold and peat of Tierra del Fuego, the copper mines and timber of the Andes, the fertile land of the Pacific coast, and Gotabani

pastures, as well as saltpeter and guano from the Atcatama Desert (that desert does not belong to New Japan, but the business of digging guano and saltpeter was contracted to New Japanese businessmen), and of course there are the first generation of East Asian settlers.
The hard work of millions of immigrants, etc.
The combination of other factors has allowed New Japan to become a wealthy "country" in just 20 years. In Japan today, the buzzword describing the nouveau riche is "just like a New Japanese", which is both enviable and
