"Your Majesty, I have thought about this matter."

Zhang Juzheng replied at this time.

Zhu Yijun and other ministers therefore looked at Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng said at this time: "I believe that the strict control system implemented by Haigong in Nanzhi in the past can be implemented in Japan!"

"Japan is the land newly returned to our Han family. We should stop wars in this place, so that the moral and religious style can flourish in this place, and truly become a place of kingship. Therefore, we must strictly implement education first."

"Rebels should be punished! Submissives should be encouraged! And a period of ten or twenty years of enlightenment should be set."

"During the period of enlightenment, the newly returned land will be temporarily different from other administrative systems of this dynasty. The newly returned land will not be allowed to communicate freely with the provinces, unless it is the original people of the country."

“In the newly returned land, the acquired land should be given priority to the original people of the country. This is to encourage the original people of the country to move there, promote the morality and education of the place, so that the place can be rid of bad smells, and can learn etiquette and respect morality, and never be immune. arms."

"As for the original barbarians in the newly returned areas, the imperial court should send officials to organize them to mine locally or participate in farming overseas, and use the harvest of the endless fields as labor expenses to reduce the cost of the officers and soldiers stationed overseas. The resentment of being homesick and missing relatives caused by being far away from home; the people of this dynasty need to use heavy pay to make up for the pain of separation from their loved ones when they relocate to their hometown, so as to prevent the soldiers and civilians at the bottom from supporting foreign garrisoning; in addition, this is also the implementation of the work-for-relief method , to provide relief to the hungry and cold barbarians in the newly returned land, and to organize them to receive education."

When Zhang Juzheng said this, he handed over the original document: "These are all my ministers' words. I hope your majesty will make a decision!"

Zhang Hong hurriedly took Zhang Juzheng's first copy and handed it to Zhu Yijun.

After Zhu Yijun took it, he asked the ministers in the hall: "Do you have any objections?"

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, since we want to educate, in addition to ordering those who are good at fighting to impose authority, it seems that we must also select great Confucian scholars to spread the teachings of sages and eradicate the unhealthy learning in the local area."

At this time, Pan Cheng, the Minister of Rites, spoke up.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Very true, the suggestions given by Pan Qing and sir have been implemented according to the regulations of the six departments!"

All six ministers handed it over and said so.

At this point, Ming Dynasty officially began to institutionalize its external expansion and proposed new system construction.

This can be regarded as a new stage in the reform of the empire.

That is to say, the group of monarchs and ministers who presided over the reform of the Ming Empire no longer only carried out internal reforms, but also officially began to carry out external reforms.

At this time, places such as Hirado and Nagasaki in Japan.

The Ming generals Chen Ziluan and Tong Zimingze stationed here were already following Qi Jiguang's instructions to make new arrangements for the local Japanese.

"There is another Japanese here, capture him and let him serve!"

On this day, Morioka Yiichi, a Japanese young man who was digging wild vegetables, had just dug out the wild vegetables that had only grown during the New Year this year. He couldn't wait to put them into his mouth. With a smile on his face, a group of Korean auxiliary soldiers appeared. Under the order of the military attache of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese Morita Yiyi was captured.

The wild vegetables in Morioka Takeichi's hand were also knocked to the ground by the North Korean auxiliary soldiers, and were stepped on the ground by the North Korean auxiliary soldiers and stepped into the mud.

He was furious because of this, his eyes were blood red, but his strength was limited due to hunger. In the end, he could only express his anger at the destruction of the wild vegetables he was preparing to eat by choking and crying.

But not long after, when Morioka Yi arrived at the destination of serving, when he saw baskets of potatoes, sweet potatoes, even steamed buns, and pickled fatty meat, he immediately reached out to grab and eat them.

"Don't grab it! Wait in line to get it. The bacon and steamed buns are for you to replenish your strength for doing heavy work. They are given once every two days, so they won't be available at night and in the next two days."

A military attache from Zhejiang Province who was hired to take care of the food of these Japanese slaves because he knew the Japanese language started talking, and stabbed a disobedient Japanese to death, then cut off the head of the Japanese and threw it among the other Japanese. In front of me: "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! A bunch of dogs!"

These Japanese people immediately became a lot more honest. They just knelt on the ground eagerly as arranged, looking up at the people eating and drooling.

Morioka Yiichi meekly went to the back and stood in line. After receiving his food, he started eating with a bright smile. After eating the same food for two days, he gave up the idea of ​​​​escape. , and began to hope that it could be like this every day.

Song Yingchang was also observing how the military ministers dealt with the local Japanese during the military control period. He was worried that these Ming Dynasty's arrogant generals were too rough and arrogant to the Japanese, which would make the Japanese unwilling to obey the rule, leading to a large-scale rebellion.

On this day, Song Yingchang visited the Nagasaki port expansion site that Chen Ziluan was responsible for and asked Chen Ziluan: "General Chen, have these Japanese people not been paid their wages?"

"Does Song Gaijian suspect that we have deducted wages?"

Chen Ziluan asked directly after hearing this.

Song Yingchang said: "I have the right to ask."

Chen Ziluan said: "The commander-in-chief said that we should treat them like dog slaves, not too nice, so I didn't apply for wages for them, I only applied for food for them, and the food provided was only enough to satisfy their needs. As for the arrangements required for the heavy work, I can bring it to Jian to check as to how many supplies were used."

"This is too unkind!"

"We only treat the Japanese as third-class slaves. How can we stay here for a long time?"

Song Yingchang became quite dissatisfied after hearing this, and immediately questioned Chen Ziluan.

It wasn't that he was overflowing with the Holy Mother's heart, he just asked because of the Ming Dynasty's long-term strategy of stationing troops in Japan for a long time and ensuring that Japan would not continue to have frequent wars.

Chen Ziluan said: "We only act according to the command of the commander-in-chief. If we feel that it is inappropriate to give advice, we can go directly to the original source."

Song Yingchang took a long breath after hearing this: "This is indeed inappropriate!"

"Two high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Dynasty, please forgive me for interrupting this old monk. Seeing your army's kindness, as a Buddhist, I cannot stand by and watch. Therefore, on behalf of Hirado Yunguang Temple, I am willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver and food to help the army. Please accept it." Down."

At this time, a Japanese monk came over and bowed to Song Yingchang and Chen Ziluan. Then when he saw a large number of Japanese people who were conscientiously transporting earth and wood to build the port, he couldn't help but sigh: "Your army is really He is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness!”

Song Yingchang was quite puzzled and asked: "Why does the master say that?"

Chen Ziluan also looked over curiously and murmured: "One hundred thousand taels, Japan really has no shortage of silver."

The Japanese monk continued to reply in Ming Dynasty Mandarin: "Isn't it a benevolent act to allow so many Japanese people who could only starve to death or become thieves and destroy temples and plunder merchants to rely on their own labor to support themselves? At least The great names of this vassal did not do such a benevolent thing, but only used force and force!"

"The emperor of our dynasty is a benevolent monarch who can be compared to Yao and Shun. His kindness and kindness are profound. Naturally, he cannot bear to see all the creatures in the world starve to death in order to carry out his mission."

"The troops stationed in Japan also uphold the holy will, so they can't bear to see the Japanese people starve to death!"

"In addition, if you donate food to your temple, your advice will be repaid to the emperor. I know that my emperor is benevolent and will be very pleased after hearing this, and he will confer the title of master."

Song Yingchang immediately raised his hands toward the north without hesitation, spoke well of Zhu Yijun, and began to hint that the Japanese monk would continue to pay for his money.

"Since Shangguan said so, our temple is willing to donate another five thousand stones of food to help the army to achieve good deeds."

This is how the Japanese monk replied.

Song Yingchang laughed and asked: "I don't know where your temple is. I see that the master is also a somersaulter. Why don't you give me a chance to discuss Buddhism?"

The Japanese monk didn't expect that Song Yingchang would rely on his temple, and he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to agree with a smile and bring Song Yingchang to his temple.

After Song Yingchang came to Yunguang Temple, he learned through chatting with the Japanese monk that the Japanese monk also knew Otomo Zonglin, who was the overlord of Northern Kyushu, and knew that Dayou Zonglin had become a monk and his Buddhist name was Xiu'an Zonglin.

Song Yingchang therefore said to the Japanese monk: "Master, please tell him that the emperor will only do three things when he comes to Japan tomorrow."

"What three things do you dare to ask?"

"Stop the war, calm the people, teach morals!"

Song Yingchang answered and said: "So as long as these great names are willing to do these three things, this court will help them prevent the Shimazu family or the rising Hashiba Hideyoshi from conquering them."

After hearing this, the Japanese monk nodded and said, "Don't worry, the young monk will bring these words to them to promote this merit and reduce the number of killings."
