This statement is indeed quite mysterious, and there are many disputes and differences among Ming scholars, who all believe that this statement is unreasonable.
However, this is not important.
"It doesn't matter whether anyone wants to believe it or not."
Xin Qiji spread his hands and smiled: "I only know one thing. In order for these millions of Japanese people to reasonably enter the Ming Dynasty and become its citizens, both of us need a mutually acceptable explanation.
Both of us need to accept the other's view of becoming our own people. Whether it is a myth or a discovery with real evidence, this is very important. Xu Fu's eastward journey is just the best view at the moment.
When we educate them in the future, we can tell them that their ancestors are Xu Fu and the three thousand boys and girls who left the Chinese mainland. They have the same origin as the people of the Ming Dynasty. They are long-lost relatives, not enemies. We It's a family.
As long as they accept this statement and admit that we are one family, there will be no other worries. They will build the frontier honestly, and the Liaodong and Western Regions will develop. "
"Do they have millions of people?"
Su Jue asked curiously: "I've never heard of it before. The population is really quite large."
"The people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs estimated it based on the information sent back by the Skynet Army's spies over the years."
Xin Qiji said slowly: "It is estimated that Japan has a population of at least five million, and the chairman plans to move most of the population away, leaving only a few people. Most of the population will be used to fill Liaodong and The Northwest, so whether they are or not, they must and can only be the remnants of China."
Hearing this, Su Jue nodded slowly.
"It's interesting to say this, but I think Liaodong's condition is actually pretty good. Do we need so many people?"
"Need it."
Xin Qiji smiled bitterly and said: "If you are not in Zhongdu, you don't know how difficult it is for us to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to leave their hometowns and settle on the border. There are really very few people who are willing to leave their hometowns and settle in such a cold and cold place on the border. .
They are all people who are accustomed to living in their hometown. They have land, houses, familiar environment and fellow villagers. They have grown up here all their lives and have taken root. How can they be mobilized so easily?
But both Liaodong and the Western Regions are very important to the Ming Dynasty. People are absolutely indispensable. If his own people can't be mobilized, the chairman has the idea of Japanese people. Anyway, the vast majority of them will not care about his own people at all. Any other ideas about identity. "
When Su Jue heard this, he was speechless.
Yes, do these people know who they are?
They only know that their next meal and the next one will be able to eat the salted vegetable pancake, which is a supreme delicacy to them. They feel very happy and happy.
If you tell them that after traveling to Liaodong and the Northwest, they will not only have salted vegetables and flatbreads to eat, but also eat grains grown by themselves, and even meat, it must be a very happy thing, and they will be willing.
The people of Ming Dynasty have spent more than ten years of happy years under benevolent governance, and their definition of happiness is different.
Only a few of them are willing to settle on the border with a high level of awareness, and most of them will not.
Forced mobilization will only cause damage to people's hearts. Once people's hearts are damaged, it will be difficult to recover.
For these Japanese, going to Liaodong and the Northwest to obtain their own land, houses, farm tools, livestock, preferential production policies, and even the opportunity to study and receive education is almost a gift. ?
After the Ming army joined forces in Ping'an Jing, they reorganized and rested for five days. They gave the army a few days of good meat, supplemented nutrition, and accumulated strength, and then prepared to launch a new round of attacks on the east and northeast.
They want to wipe out all the resistance forces, get rid of all the powerful landlord-level figures who are unwilling to cooperate, turn the Japanese people into atomized families, smoothly integrate them into the Ming Dynasty household registration, and populate Liaodong and the northwest.
The remaining population of about one million can stay locally, produce food in the Kanto Plain, dig silver mines in Iwami Ginzan, and serve commerce in major ports.
All original religious beliefs and cultural relics on the Japanese archipelago will be wiped out, and the Ming Dynasty will completely build the Japanese archipelago into a functional province to serve the Ming Dynasty's New World strategy.
Of course, the Japanese ruling class did not know the Ming army's overall plan, but they would not be swept off the stage of history by the Ming army so willingly.
For the more independent local forces in eastern and northeastern Japan, fierce men like Taira Kiyomori cannot make them surrender, and the Ming army may not be able to either.
They dared to fight against Taira Kiyomori, and naturally they also dared to fight against the Ming army.
After the news came that the Ming army had attacked the Taira regime and destroyed central Japan, most parts of eastern Japan were in panic, fearing that the Ming army would invade the area and destroy their family fortunes accumulated over generations.
Those who are afraid are stubborn.
The Hojo family based in Izu country, headed by the son-in-law Minamoto Yoritomo, the leader of the family, raised a banner and said that Ming's unprovoked crusade against Japan was an act without morality and integrity, and that no one in the world would support Ming's tyrannical behavior.
Therefore, they want to call on all the leaders of the remaining powerful kingdoms in eastern Japan to gather all their strength and join forces with Minamoto Yoritomo and the Hojo family to resist the tyrannical and merciless aggression of the Ming Dynasty in order to restore Japan's independence.
Minamoto Yoritomo is the son of the leader of the Minamoto group who once fought against the Taira group headed by Heilongjiang Kiyomori. Both families are typical representatives of the samurai family and enjoy a high reputation among samurai groups all over the world.
Now that the Taira regime has collapsed and been destroyed, and Taira Kiyomori is dead, can the son of his former rival be able to provoke a strong resistance against the brutal and merciless aggression of the Ming Dynasty?
no one knows.
However, Minamoto Yoritomo absolutely did not want to succumb to Ming Dynasty's military attack and become a person who lost his country.
More than 20 years of exile have made him very determined and obsessed with revenge. Although his enemy is dead now, his ambition will not disappear because of this.
Family hatred turned into national hatred. He believed that he could lead the people of the country to resist the Ming invasion. As long as he could do what the Taira couldn't do, it would be revenge in another sense, and the Genji could be revived.
He made extensive use of his father's personal connections during his lifetime to summon his father's friends and family members, trying to get their help. The Hojo family who supported him also made extensive use of their own family's personal connections, hoping to get more power to support him.
They want to fight against the Ming army.
When there is no unified order, everyone in the powerful factions in various places is in danger. But when someone is willing to stand up and take the lead, the situation is different.
The large number of imperial orders in eastern Japan are in conflict with the Heian-Kyohei regime. The existence or absence of the Taira regime does not have a great impact on them. They can still complete their operations and recruit troops to accumulate strength.
But now, someone else is willing to take the lead and give them a glimmer of hope, so they decisively send news to Minamoto Yoritomo and the Hojo family to express their willingness to support.
As time goes by, more and more local powerful factions are willing to accept Genji's call, and there are more and more signs that they are gathering in Izu and are conducting a nationwide mobilization.
So Minamoto no Yoritomo became more and more happy.
But he was not happy for a few days when he learned bad news.
In line with the principle of rapidity and rapidity of troops, the Ming army decisively launched a new round of offensive.
