"Your Majesty, if you can't control these people to a certain extent and let them do this all the time, no one knows what they will do in the future. It must not be done outside the law!"

Sun Chuanting said with a worried face.

Although he is the prime minister of the Wen Senate, and although he has worked under Sun Jie for a long time, in essence, his previous education was traditional Confucianism.

In his ideology, as long as the whole world is the territory of the imperial court, it must be done according to the imperial court's will, and no place outside the law is absolutely allowed.

The existence of a place outside the law is a threat to the court and will break the balance of the court.

In Sun Chuanting's mind, the measure for Fu'an Mansion should be that the imperial court send a large army to station there, and then send corresponding civil servants to effectively rule there.

Those people who immigrated there, then followed the government's policy, opened mines, worked there, married and had children to expand their living area, and then they colonized the entire America step by step.

His thinking is very correct, and he can hardly find any faults, but there is a premise that people are not machines, and they will not follow the will of the superior to do what the superior requires. It exists in an ideal state, and it is impossible to happen in reality.

Sun Jie looked at Sun Chuanting who was standing in front of him, and said, "I am aware of your worries, but if it is really done as you said, how much energy will the court spend?

You must know that the current targets of the imperial court include the West, Japan, and even the North. Manpower is needed everywhere, and we don't have many people in our hands now.It is not appropriate to send too many people for an America! "

"As for whether it will become a place outside the law, there is no need to worry about it at all. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the domestic situation became so chaotic, I have the confidence to clean up the old mountains and rivers in a short period of time, let alone a small Little America.

What's more, by that time, the country is as stable as Mount Tai, and nothing will threaten the rule of the court. You are right to have this idea, and you can't worry about it unfounded. "

Sun Jie's voice was firm and steady.

Listening to Sun Jie's words, Sun Chuanting's expression gradually relaxed.

Sun Jie was right. He was indeed a little anxious. He adjusted his thoughts a little and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed that I am a little anxious. There is nothing wrong with thinking in the long run!"

Sun Jie nodded and said, "Understood, I have my own concerns about this matter."

……

There have been arrogant soldiers since ancient times. No matter which dynasty or generation, there will be a large number of arrogant soldiers. Especially when the country was just founded, these soldiers would often become arrogant with the mentality of being a dragon. It is also normal.

If the number of arrogant soldiers can be controlled within a certain range, it will not have much impact, but if it cannot be controlled, the blow to the army will be devastating.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang took sapphire for surgery was because these people were too arrogant and refused to obey the management.

At that time, Zhu Biao was already dead, and the new Zhu Yunqi would definitely not be able to command Lan Yu. If these people were not wiped out, a huge disaster would be caused. …

But now, there are also a large number of arrogant soldiers in Sun Jie's team, especially those in the Japanese army.

Although Zhao Dading has been trying his best to restrain the soldiers under him, there are still many arrogant soldiers born.

In today's Wa country, [-]% of the land has been taken by Zhao Dading, and the successive victories have already made these soldiers feel desperate.

In their view, there is no one in this world who is their opponent, as long as they attack, any enemy will be crushed and pulverized by them.

Under such a state of mind, the entire army is permeated with an atmosphere of arrogance from top to bottom. This atmosphere will cause major problems. If it cannot be changed in time, no one knows what this army will eventually evolve into. look.

Most of the officers in this army are generals from the Daqin Military Academy. Relying on the name that they are Sun Jie's direct descendants, these people are arrogant and arrogant in the army.

People are diverse, and their ideas will gradually change. Although they were able to maintain a humble heart at the beginning, as time goes by, quite a few of these people have changed their original aspirations.

They think that they are heroes, and with this kind of thinking, arrogant soldiers and powerful generals are born.

Zhao Dading also knew that this trend was difficult to restrain, so he pushed Li Dingguo out.

The composition of Li Dingguo's army is fundamentally different from other armies. Those other armies are basically soldiers brought over from the mainland, while Li Dingguo's army is mostly Japanese warriors and adapted Japanese soldiers.

Because of the composition problem, the other soldiers looked down on Li Dingguo at all.

But on the way to attack the Wa country, Li Dingguo made a lot of contributions, which made the other generals even more unhappy.

If it were other leading generals, they would definitely try their best to avoid this kind of thing from happening, and try their best to avoid disagreements among their troops.

But for Zhao Dading, he is not like this.

The problem of arrogant soldiers and powerful generals is difficult to solve, but if it is not solved, this army will be abolished in the future.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you want to get rid of the abscess, you must cut the pus block, so that the suppurative blood inside can flow out.

With such an idea in mind, Zhao Dading deliberately pushed Li Dingguo out, and then let him make meritorious service, and then let those arrogant soldiers jump out, and then deal with it.

Use this to frighten people's hearts, and use this to rectify the team.

This is also something that can’t be helped, otherwise, it will endanger the rule of the court, the problem of arrogant soldiers must be solved, and means must be used.

Zhao Dading's idea is not only that, since ancient times, the greatest achievement is the founding of the country and the opening of the border.

As the first general to follow Sun Jie, Zhao Dading already had credit for founding the country, and this time he took down the entire Wa country under Sun Jie's order, so he will also have the credit for opening up the frontier.

Now Sun Jie has not rewarded the meritorious officials, but he will certainly be rewarded in the near future. The merits of him are too great, no matter what the award is, it is not appropriate.

Although Zhao Dading knew that Sun Jie would not treat them badly, since ancient times, his merits have never been higher than that of the Lord Zhen, and he has great prestige in the army. Even if Sun Jie can fully trust him in the future, the new emperor Woolen cloth? …

A big man in the army, with great achievements, such a person is a natural threat to the imperial power.

So he had to reduce this attribute in him, and dealing with military officers was the best choice.

Dealing with the officers in the army with harsh means will definitely break the relationship between Zhao Dading and those officers in the army. In this way, there is no need to worry about him colluding with those officers in the army. After all, no one will fight with his own Enemies cooperate.

There are many ways to blackmail yourself, but this is undoubtedly the most effective and thorough method.

Now, Tokugawa Iemitsu fled to the remote island of Hokkaido, and only one last attack was needed to completely destroy Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Zhao Dading was not in a hurry, when all the officers in the army were asking Zhao Dading for instructions, he already had the answer in his heart.

The most suitable candidate is Li Dingguo, who wants Li Dingguo to complete the final blow to the Tokugawa shogunate.

Let this huge credit fall on Li Dingguo.

……

Today's Tokugawa Ieyasu fled all the way to Hokkaido, to this most remote place.

The status of Hokkaido in the entire Wa country is not obvious, and it is even discriminated against by the Wa people.

In their minds, the place of Hokkaido often represents barbarians, and often represents disobedience. The people living here are all outcasts, and they are all savages who refuse to obey the king.

Tokugawa Iemitsu also despised this place very much. When he was in power, he didn't look down on this place at all, but now, it has become his last refuge.

Shimamaki County, here is a very poor place.

Tokugawa Iemitsu lives here now. It is not as luxurious as Edo Castle, and there are not so many wide and tall buildings. The houses here are basically thatched cottages or simple rooms built with mud. It can only provide simple shelter from wind and rain, and there is no way to keep it warm in winter and cool in summer.

Living here is a great pain, but now, Tokugawa Iemitsu has no other choice, he can only live here.

In a low thatched hut, Tokugawa Iemitsu sat kneeling in the center, with a bamboo stand in front of him, on which was a samurai sword.

This samurai sword is his family heirloom, which has been passed down by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

This samurai sword is engraved with a golden chrysanthemum, a gift from the Emperor to Ieyasu Tokugawa.

This knife symbolizes the glory of the Tokugawa family and is the glory of the Tokugawa family.

Tokugawa Iemitsu picked up the knife from the shelf and wiped it repeatedly with a clean and white towel.

He drew out the knife, the cold light was shining and the blade was sharp.

After wiping the blade with a towel, the cold light became sharper.

Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed while wiping.

Back then, the Tokugawa shogunate ruled the entire Wa country, and even the high-ranking emperor had to obey his arrangements.

At that time, he was the uncrowned king of the Wa Kingdom, and all the big names had to obey his orders.

He owns the most affluent land in the country, and he is the most noble person in the entire Wa country, but now, he has ended up in this state, and he can only shrink back in this small place, like a bereaved dog. …

When he thought of all the glory of his ancestors dissipating in his hands, his mood became even more depressed.

He touched his neck, then his stomach, with a difficult expression on his face.

He used this white towel to line the edge of the blade, then clenched his hands tightly, pointing the tip of the knife at his stomach, then pushed slowly with both hands so that the tip of the knife was against his belly.

The cold touch came from his stomach, which made him shiver involuntarily.

The hairs on his body stood up, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Panting heavily, his whole body was exerting force, he wanted to push the tip of the knife to his stomach.

After gesturing with him like this for a long time, I still couldn't insert the tip of the knife into my belly.

After a long time, he threw the knife in his hand on the ground, then lay down on the ground and cried loudly.

He wanted to commit seppuku and die for his country, but he didn't dare, he wanted to live, not die.

After crying for a long time, he picked up the knife thrown on the ground and began to wipe it. After wiping it clean, he inserted the knife back into the scabbard and put it on the knife holder.

With a long sigh, everything turned into this sigh.

The village where Tokugawa Iemitsu lives is not big, but very small, and the people who came with him are basically his confidants.

However, these people are now depressed, wandering around in the village like a shell that has lost their soul.

They are thin and thin, with little flesh on their bodies, and their faces are like vegetables.

It has been several months since Iemitsu Tokugawa came here, but they have never had a full meal, and they live in fear every day, for fear that Zhao Dading from across the strait will suddenly call.

And above their heads, they could see huge iron birds flying in the sky almost every day. Although these iron birds did not attack, they kept hovering over their heads. This oppressive feeling made them very, very uncomfortable.

There is great terror between life and death, and many people's spirits tend to collapse when faced with death.

The same is true of these soldiers under Tokugawa Iemitsu. Since he came here, soldiers have committed suicide almost every day.

Some hanged themselves, some jumped off cliffs, and there were news of deaths every day. Although Tokugawa Iemitsu had always banned soldiers from committing suicide, it had no effect.

With a tired look, Tokugawa Iemitsu walked out of the room. He stood outside, his clothes were already in tatters and could only cover a few key parts.

Another fighter plane flew up in the sky, circling above his head.

Iemitsu Tokugawa didn't care anymore, he put his hands on his waist, raised his head, and quietly watched the plane pass by the sky.

In the first few days, he would even curse at the sky, roaring and cursing loudly, but now, he has become normal-hearted, and even hopes that the plane will drop a bomb to blow himself up to death.

"General, what should we do now? We have carried less than ten days of food, and soldiers commit suicide every day. If this continues, I'm afraid we will collapse before the enemy hits us."

A confidant came to Tokugawa Iemitsu and said with a sad face.

Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed for a long time, looked at this confidant, "I understand what you said, but what can we do now?

Hokkaido is a very barren place, there is not much food here at all, even if we snatch it from those savages, I am afraid we will not be able to get much.

Now that the enemy is pressing harder and harder, what can I do?We are already at the end of our rope, and there is no way out! "

The confidant left after a long sigh.

Tokugawa Iemitsu has nothing to do, so what can he do?

With his hands behind his back, Tokugawa Iemitsu wandered around like a walking dead.

He thought about committing seppuku more than once, but he didn't have the courage, he was afraid of death, and he wanted to live.
