This time in the Japanese Kingdom, the time was short, and the changes were very drastic... The Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses, the Muromachi shogunate was completely wiped out, and seven out of ten local powerful families died.
After the mountain name Mu Zhang was killed by a monk, his men retaliated against the temples, destroyed Buddhist temples and shrines, and robbed gold and silver fields. Tens of thousands of monks were killed, and all the monk soldiers were killed.
At this time, in the Japanese state, almost all the power originally used to maintain the country had disappeared.
The old King Huailiang, faced with this land of chicken feathers, really had no choice but to do nothing.
"Mr. Zhang, can you agree to Japan's request?" Lao Zhu looked up at Zhang Ximeng.
Zhang Ximeng just had a smile on his face and said, "My lord, you are not unclear. Do you want to send troops and horses at this time? One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, or three to five hundred thousand?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed for a while. It is not difficult at all to destroy order, but to rebuild it, it is bound to reach the sky. Just like a house, it can be torn down in a few minutes, but it may take dozens of days or months to build it up.
The difficulty coefficients are not on the same order of magnitude at all.
It's like the famous Imperial Cemetery. In anger, the emperor would break through all fronts in ten hours, and take control of the entire territory in a few days. It was a clean and tidy victory.
The real trouble lies behind, to control the local area and to reestablish order... Local forces are complicated and independent of each other. When you send troops there, you have to deal with these people, and then you have to fight non-stop.
Everywhere you look, there are enemies. Even a superpower will be overwhelmed and exhausted. There is no chance of success.
The land of Japan is small, the terrain is fragmented, and the local forces are numerous, intertwined, and extremely complex. This unlucky place definitely has the potential to evolve into the cemetery of the Ming Dynasty.
"Mr. Zhang, this opportunity is rare. If you miss this opportunity, the local forces of the Japanese country will soon rise again. Those powerful and famous people will control the local area and even the temples will be revived."
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Sir, you have to make an idea."
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "My lord, this time I am seeking fish from a tree. I wonder why I am blind... How did the Japanese country come to this day? To untie the bell, you still need a person to tie the bell. My lord will not think that I am the person to tie the bell, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, who was the bell-tieer?
Why do we think that you, Mr. Zhang, can't escape the involvement in Daming's affairs?
Of course, Lao Zhu also knew that Zhang Ximeng could not get involved in everything... Planning the Japanese country was not something Zhu Biao could do. And then there was Sun Yan, who? I'm afraid that might not be the case.
Sun Yan is mainly presiding over domestic affairs. As the chief minister, there is no need to spend time outside.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and suddenly said: "Sir, are you talking about Hu Weiyong?"
Zhang Ximeng nodded with a smile. As the only remaining veteran minister, there was no doubt about Hu Weiyong's moral integrity. He was simply a miniature version of Li Shanchang. Moreover, because he knew his situation, he did not dare to go too far.
In addition, neither Zhang Ximeng nor Zhu Yuanzhang had to take him down.
Therefore, Hu Weiyong was relatively safe, but he also stepped out of domestic affairs and supervised foreign affairs as a political participant. Together with Mao Gui, he was responsible for external affairs.
Moreover, Mao Gui is responsible for formal interactions, and Hu Weiyong is responsible for overall work, and he has been doing this for several years... If you figure this out, it seems that many problems will be solved.
For example, the sudden rise of the mountain name Mu Zhang, how could he propose such powerful three policies, and why did he suddenly die in the temple?
The whole person rose like a meteor and fell instantly.
What’s the story behind such a short process?
There is no doubt that these materials will probably be stored in the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty. If nothing unexpected happens, something will definitely happen.
This is also the method of the superior country, and it is natural.
After all, when a superpower goes all out, the ripples it creates are enough to destroy a small country.
For example, around Yamana Mu Zhang, in addition to military advisors such as Zhang Ziming, there were also several literati who provided many suggestions to Yamana Mu Zhang.
But with the sudden death of Yamaname Mu Zhang, all these people disappeared.
In addition, the Hosokawa clan's counterattack was so fierce, and the Ming envoys were in a mess, without the ability to resist, and were completely at the mercy of others, which was not logical.
But don't worry, if you have any doubts, you can almost find the answer when you go to Hu Weiyong.
It's just that Zhang Ximeng no longer has that thought, he is really starting to grow old.
"My lord, send Hu Weiyong as governor!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly. The area of the Japanese country was not small, with a population of tens of millions. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the size of two or three provinces, or even more.
As mentioned earlier, allowing Tang and his descendants to establish a country in the Japanese country meant dividing the Japanese country into several parts, preferably four or five countries.
A governor had already been appointed at that time.
However, the early governors were only responsible for personnel exchanges and business transactions, and there was still a long way to go before they could fully control the Japanese state.
The purpose of asking Hu Weiyong to go to Japan at this time is to make the management of Japan mature.
"Sir, Hu Weiyong's ability is not inferior to that of Li Shan!"
Lao Zhu sighed in a low voice. Indeed, when it comes to knocking on the bones and sucking out the marrow, Hu Weiyong is definitely a ruthless person among ruthless people. Back then, when he managed prisoners, he built several large projects and countless prisoners died of exhaustion.
Although this guy is not a military commander, the blood on his hands is not comparable to that of ordinary warriors.
So cruel!
If he is sent to the Japanese country, the destructive power will definitely be strong enough. I am afraid it will be several times more powerful than this battle. It is hard to say how many Japanese pirates will be left by then.
Lao Zhu hesitated. It was not that he felt sorry for the Japanese pirates, but that he was worried.
"Sir, we are all old and want to give up our authority. With Hu Weiyong's ability, we are afraid that the prince and others will not be able to defeat him!"
Zhang Ximeng raised his brows and suddenly smiled, "My lord, if this is really the case, is His Highness the Crown Prince too weak? Why should he inherit the country? You can't do everything for him, okay? That would be too much work."
Got it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, and sighed after a long while: "Okay, even if what you said makes sense, our health is still good anyway, and that Hu Weiyong dares to do whatever he wants, even if he only has one breath, we can get rid of him!"
Lao Zhu's words are the final word.
Soon the order arrived at Yingtian. Hu Weiyong, who was originally a counselor of political affairs, was secondly assistant, and was given the title of Taibao, Prince Taibao, and governor of the Japanese military affairs. He immediately took up his post.
After receiving this order, Hu Weiyong was startled for a moment, and then he knelt on the ground, facing the direction of Chang'an, kowtow to thank him, tears streaming down his face, and he cried so hard.
His crying was not just as simple as being grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang... The old ministers were withering and tomorrow was changing with each passing day. It was already considered remarkable that he could survive to this day safely.
Compared with Yang Xian, Wang Guangyang and others, he is much stronger, and even Li Shanchang is not as good as him.
After all the hardships, I finally made it to today!
In fact, Hu Weiyong was also very proud. Li Shanchang had already completed this process, and he had brought down Goryeo.
It's not that Hu Weiyong didn't know, it's just that he felt that time was on my side. After all, the news that Grand Master Zhang was going to retire to write a book had already spread, and His Majesty was also preparing to abdicate the throne after the Jiuding was cast.
After these two are gone, let me ask the heroes of the world, who is our opponent?
At this time, Hu Weiyong was no longer a dead tree, but a dead tree that was revived in spring. He couldn't wait to receive the order and go to the Japanese country.
Moreover, Hu Weiyong had already figured out the virtues of Japanese people and thought of ways to deal with them.
He first met with King Huailiang, and Hu Weiyong said that the Japanese country did not need to be merged into the Ming Dynasty, and King Huailiang was still the leader of the Japanese country. This made King Huailiang a little hesitant, because in fact, the Japanese country still had a serious leader, and even
And there’s the Supreme Emperor! Although he doesn’t have much power, he is still the ruler of the country!
I'm sorry, Hu Weiyong doesn't admit it.
He personally accompanied King Huailiang and summoned some of the remaining important ministers of the Japanese country, as well as powerful and famous people who were willing to surrender... Hu Weiyong first targeted all temples and shrines.
Hu Weiyong made it clear that these guys are called monks. They break the country, break the family, break the body...the most disgusting thing is greed, and they should be severely punished!
Hu Weiyong's move was too powerful, because no matter whether it was the Ming Dynasty envoys or the remaining famous officials, they still had some influence. Only monks had no direct spokesperson for their interests in the Japanese country.
Following Hu Weiyong's order, all the remaining temples and shrines in the Japanese country were destroyed, and not a single one was left!
Immediately, a school was built on the basis of the temple and shrine to teach the knowledge of the Ming Dynasty!
Even Zhang Ximeng had to lament that Hu Weiyong was really an expert... Those envoys who sent the Ming Dynasty learned something in the Ming Dynasty and promoted it when they returned home. Faced with the counterattack of the old forces, they were completely defeated.
After all, their roots are not deep yet.
Hu Weiyong established schools everywhere by getting rid of the temple forces. Having schools means he has control over public opinion and future thoughts.
Hu Weiyong then began to deal with other forces.
The first is the original royal family. Hu Weiyong accused them of ineffective governance, which resulted in the loss of monarchical power, the suffering of the people, and the boiling of public resentment... Therefore, he wanted to collect their land and give it to the people.
In fact, the existence of the Muromachi shogunate proves that the so-called imperial nobles are a group of dead tigers. Like the temple, they have no strength and can be easily solved.
But the problem is the next killer move.
The local daimyo actively took action to liquidate the royal family. They were so excited that they wiped out the so-called royal family of all generations. Many royal family members were killed, and those who were still alive had to change their surnames and hide.
It's just that the powerful and powerful people have overlooked one problem. Their behavior is called lowering to overcome higher. In this case, their subordinates can also follow suit!
As expected, Hu Weiyong then ordered to start investigating the names of local princes... Hu Weiyong's murderous methods were carried out step by step and steadily, which can be called a textbook.
The problem is that the people of Japan didn’t see it?
Are you willing to be a lamb?
I'm sorry, so what if it's inappropriate, Chang Yuchun and Tang He, the two great princes, and an army of 100,000 are right there!
Moreover, Hu Weiyong collected 1.5 million taels of gold by liquidating temples, royal families, and famous names, and sent them to Tiantian one after another...
