Chapter 457: Arrangements
"Everyone, the canonization process has been completed. Now please obey the imperial edict and transfer the title to the vassal state!"
On the third day after the canonization ceremony, still in front of the castle tower, the order for these new Japanese kings, who were dressed in the robes of the Ming Dynasty princes, to move to feudal lords, finally came out from Wang Bing's mouth.
Faced with this transfer order, all the kings were naturally happy and angry. The ones who were happy were naturally the kings who had become 'developed' out of thin air. And the kings who had 'cut their flesh to fatten the other' were naturally happy too.
Can't get up.
"However, I also know that the matter of transferring the title is cumbersome. I will give you two months to prepare. After two months, if anyone is 'inconvenient', I will ask the imperial army to 'help' you."
!
Looking at these new Japanese rulers with uncertain expressions, Wang Bing was very 'considerate' and suggested that for those who were 'inconvenient', the Ming army would come to 'help' them.
"Don't dare bother the imperial army. I will definitely complete the transfer as scheduled."
Faced with Wang Bing's naked threat, no matter whether these new Japanese rulers were happy or angry, they quickly declined Wang Bing's kindness.
Just kidding, if the Ming troops who are still stationed in their territory come to help transfer the fief, then what will be 'moved' is not the fief, but the head.
"In addition, before the transfer, the advance compensation you owe the court must be delivered to Nagoya for delivery and acceptance by my uncle!"
Finally, amid the complicated expressions on these people's faces, Wang Bing spoke again and set the delivery time for the 'down payment' of the compensation.
"Send an order to Commander Li, Commander Qi and Marshal Ma. During the period when the Japanese are moving, they will be closely monitored. If there are any offenders who violate the regulations, they will be killed directly without asking for instructions!"
In order to prevent someone from 'making trouble', after the new Japanese rulers left Nagoya, a murderous order was sent from Nagoya again to the Liaodong Army and Jizhen, announcing that the army and
Everywhere in the Yulin Guards.
In fact, Wang Bing was overly worried. As the Japanese were only obedient to power, they would never cause trouble as long as the army had not withdrawn. As for after the army had withdrawn, haha, Wang Bing wished they would beat them to death!
However, the only thing that Wang Bing didn't expect was that before the death of Hou Hou, the former Japanese 'man of the world', the new kings who were forced to change their fiefdoms by the Ming Dynasty showed no signs of restarting the Warring States Period.
So much so that a few years later, Wang Bing almost asked the little fat man for an order to send Nuer Hachi to stir up unrest in the Japanese country.
Of course, these are all things for later, but Wang Bing did not expect this at the moment, but is thinking about how to manage this land of Northern Kyushu.
…
"Sir, I've been here in Nagoya for so long, but I haven't had a chance to have a good chat with you. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me, sir!"
In the castle tower, the Japanese maids did not let them take action, but Wang Bing personally made a cup of tea and put it in Xu Yihou's hands.
"I can't do it, I can't do it, how dare the common people bother the Marquis..."
Seeing that Wang Bing, the general manager of the Japanese conquest, actually poured him tea himself, Xu Yihou hurriedly took it.
"Haha, it's just a cup of tea, what's wrong? If the Ming Dynasty had more people with lofty ideals like Xian who always care about their homeland, why would the Ming Dynasty not be able to restore the prosperous days of the Han and Tang Dynasties!"
To be honest, Wang Bing sincerely admires Xu Yihou, Guo Guoan and others who were forced to wander overseas for decades and have long been 'forgotten' by the Ming Dynasty, but still never forget the safety of their homeland.
of.
Therefore, when Xu Yihou opened his mouth to intercede for the Shimatotsu clan, even though it slightly conflicted with his own plan to deal with the Japanese country, Wang Bing still agreed without hesitation, in order to naturally treat him like this.
a reward for patriotism.
In Wang Bing's eyes, an overseas lone loyalist like Xu Yihou cannot be compared to a mere Shimadzu.
What's more, it's just a Shimazu family, and it's enough to slightly change the response arrangement. But it is worth using this favor to repay his life-saving grace and master-servant love for Xu Yihou.
"Your Majesty is overly complimentary! As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, these are the responsibilities of ordinary people. I really don't deserve such praise from the Marquis."
Faced with Wang Bing's high praise, Xu Yihou modestly waved her hands in thanks.
"What a duty a citizen of the Ming Dynasty should fulfill! I wonder if you, sir, are willing to continue to fulfill your duty to the Ming Dynasty and guard the land of Northern Kyushu for the imperial court?"
Taking advantage of Xu Yihou's words, Wang Bing stopped being tactful and directly asked Xu Yihou straight to the point.
"Ah? Here, the common people have few talents and little knowledge, and they have not achieved any fame. They may fail the great trust of the Marquis and miss the important events of the court..."
After hearing what Wang Bing said, Xu Yihou would not know what Wang Bing meant.
However, how could he dare to agree to Wang Bing's important task of pastoring and guarding Northern Kyushu, even though he had never had the reputation of being a scholar?
"Fame? What's the use of fame? It's just a stepping stone to serve as an official. It's of no use to the country or the people. If you want to have a good family background, how about you ask your majesty to give you the title of No. 1 Scholar?"
hey-hey!"
After seeing Xu Yi, he excused himself because he had no fame, but Wang Bing made a joke and directly wanted to give him the title of No. 1 Scholar.
"Master Marquis, you have a heavy responsibility to protect Northern Kyushu for the imperial court. The ordinary people have never had the experience of being an official, so they are really afraid of missing important events of the imperial court!"
Although Wang Bing's request for the title of No. 1 Scholar on his behalf was just a joke, Xu Yihou saw Wang Bing's sincerity, so he also took his concerns seriously.
"Haha, no one is born with the knowledge of being an official. You should learn by doing! As long as you have Da Ming in your heart, you will be able to do well in this job! Besides, you are familiar with the affairs of the Japanese country, but at the moment no one can compare with you.
More appropriate!"
Wang Bing did not take Xu Yihou's concerns seriously, but instead decided that this northern
The first ‘governor’ of Kyushu was Empress Xu Yi.
"The Marquis has your trust, so the common people will support the Marquis for a while. When the court finds a more suitable candidate, the common people can return to their roots and spend their remaining years in peace in the Ming Dynasty!"
In the end, seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Xu Yihou had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Of course, Xu Yihou was only responsible for the political affairs of Northern Kyushu. In terms of military affairs, the imperial garrison generals stationed here were responsible. They did not have military and political control like the general military officers of Liaodong and other nine borders.
"Sir Xu, as for the official uniforms and seals, we can only wait until the end of the year when we return to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit. Now you can temporarily replace it with my seal for a while, haha!"
In the end, Wang Bing lent him his champion Hou Zhiyin as an official seal!
At this point, the entire Japanese land has been basically arranged, whether it is the transfer of new monarchs to feudal lords or the governance of Kitakyushu.
Chapter completed!
