Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1133
"The guard of Edo General Li Shun has an audience~~~~"

The attendants outside the door sang salutes loudly, Wang Tong nodded, and after a while, two attendants led a general in his early twenties to come in, and when he arrived in front of Wang Tong, the general knelt down to salute.

"Why are you kneeling, get up quickly, give me a seat, give me a seat!"

Seeing this general Li Shun, Wang Tong, whose expression had not changed much, showed a smile with a loving expression all over his face. The attendants didn't find it strange, and had already prepared their seats.

Most of Wang Tong's attendants were descendants of nobles, generals, and nobles from all over the country, and some descendants of civil servants also took this path.

This is a shortcut. After a period of experience, you will usually start as a deputy battalion officer in the army, and at the local level, you will also serve as the deputy of the county-level real power yamen.

In fact, what is really difficult is the first actual position of these attendants. They have to spend four years in the military, but the front line can be shortened to three years. If they have military merits, it will be two years. , it must be done at the local level for five years.

There are also special cases. For example, some young people who have already performed well during their service as attendants will be assigned to Nanyang and Wa countries to serve as county-level chiefs. This system has actually been implemented before Wang Tong proclaimed himself emperor. In fact, the young men who served as soldiers and clerks beside Wang Tong were actually reserve personnel prepared for the civil and military system.

After their first real job is completed, their performance and evaluation will be directly reviewed by the various yamen of the central government, and then the appointment will be decided. The next promotion will be much faster than the young people who came up through other channels.

There are rumors that after the attendants leave Wang Tong's side, they will get a simple evaluation. If the evaluation is not good, they will be promoted to full-time positions on the spot after the expiration of the first real-time position, and then they will be inspected for a period of time.

After all, this system has just become an official law for a year. It used to be just the rules of Liao Guogong and Lelang County King.

Many of the young talents in the empire have held various positions beside Wang Tong, which is well known.

But there are not many young people who can be treated so affectionately in front of the emperor, and this young man has never served as an attendant by Wang Tong's side. He was promoted step by step from an ordinary spearman in the army. When a soldier arrives as a general who guards one side, he will be the first one if he counts tomorrow.

This young man named Li Shun is indeed very outstanding. When he was stationed in Edo Castle, he was the first to discover the remaining Tokugawa rebellion in the city. More than a dozen guards from Sanjiang Trading Company guarded the west gate of Edo Castle and blocked the attack of a full 3000 people.

There are hundreds of original samurai in the remnants of Tokugawa, and there are dozens of iron cannons. This kind of power cannot be said to be strong, and there are nearly [-] peasants who are encouraged outside the city. Once the city gate is opened, the situation will immediately decay. At that time, Wang Tong's reputation in Daming was already in full swing, and major events were in progress, so there was no room for any mistakes. This Li Shun won two hours, and only two companions survived.

But then the garrison inside the city was assembled, and the garrison outside the east gate also rushed over. The rebellion was suppressed and the situation stabilized.

Li Shun made great contributions in the "Taichang Edo Rebellion", which is the basis for his promotion. However, strictly speaking, this great contribution cannot make him a general within six years, because he is the king of Lu, Li Hutou. The only son of his son, the title of meritorious officials is according to the Ming Dynasty system, the king's title is only given posthumously, not the living.

Originally, Wang Tong thought that Li Hutou had no heirs. Later, Shi Qi sent people to investigate and found out that although Li Hutou was unmarried, he had lived with the daughter of a local businessman and promised to take her as a concubine, but something happened to Li Hutou. Afterwards, the woman also died of a sudden illness. The family raised Li Shun anonymously for fear of disaster, and sent him to serve as a soldier in the Imperial Army.

It was also a coincidence that when Li Shun's background was traced, Li Shun happened to have made great contributions in Edo, so he was promoted step by step.

"When a foreign general enters the capital, running errands is the most important thing, otherwise he will be given a "not diligent" evaluation, so when you come to the capital to do business, you will not be able to eat breakfast. You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

The attendants were watching their minds there, but they also exchanged glances with each other unsteadily, thinking that Emperor Wu was very strict with his children, but he was so kind to this young master.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I haven't had breakfast yet."

"It's time for you to grow up now. How can you do without food? Come here and arrange for the people in the imperial dining room to bring some food up."

A servant nodded in agreement, but was stopped by Wang Tong when he was about to leave. Wang Tong patted his forehead and said with a smile:

"Let the kitchen cook the dried cowpea mixed with the stewed meat, and cook it in a braised way."

The attendant who received the order was stunned below. Why did His Majesty and others talk about such kitchen regulations? Could it be that he heard it wrong, but he reacted quickly and hurried away.

Li Shun is also one of the legends among the warriors of the empire. With this background, he has attracted even more attention. Wang Tong has seen him twice in total, and today is the second time. Although the attendants around him have heard about it, they can see him today. But he felt Li Shun's favor.

In front of Wang Tong, Li Shun was obviously a little nervous and reserved. The more friendly and friendly Wang Tong's attitude was, the more uncomfortable he was. Hearing this, he quickly stood up and thanked him.

When he was talking, Wang Tong kept looking at Li Shun. Seeing him get up and thank him, he waved his hands and said with a smile:

"Your father liked to eat this dish the most. A large bowl of rice can eat three bowls at a time, and you have to let me cook it."

Speaking of this, Wang Tong patted his forehead with his hand again, but fell silent. The atmosphere in the political affairs hall was a little dull. Shen An was just about to persuade him, but Wang Tong cleared his throat but changed the subject himself, and said:
"I asked you to come back to report on your work this time. The main reason is to hear what you said in the memorial. There are always things that cannot be said in correspondence. Tell me!"

When it comes to business, Li Shun is a little more natural, stood up quickly and said:
"Your Majesty, although the Japanese country has been in war for years, it is still the size of our two provinces, Dahua, with a population of nearly ten million. Our army is stationed in the Japanese country with a total of [-] people, all of whom are stationed in key areas. Our army is a powerful army in the world, and the Japanese are weak. Now peace is worry-free, but it is not a long-term solution. If more troops are sent, the military expenditure will be huge. If Dahua bears it, it will be a waste of money. If Japan bears it, it may be possible in a short time, but in the long run, it is also a disadvantage.
The conversation in the palace on this day almost formed the foundation of Dahua's policy towards the Wa Kingdom in the future. Of course, the name of the Wa Kingdom later was Haidong Province. Haidong Province initially had eight prefectures, and later became thirteen. There are 66 counties in total, and there are four separate state cities.

In the first hundred years, the entry and exit between the various prefectures was like a foreign country, and the inspection was extremely strict. Only Chinese businessmen could pass unimpeded. In the third year of Emperor Wudi of Dahua, Japanese people were recruited into the army. Only males with property are eligible to apply, must have family members and brothers as guarantees, and must understand Chinese.

This army composed of Japanese people is called the security army. Local soldiers are not allowed to be in the local area, and under deliberate dispatch, people who are often enemies of the local area are often stationed to maintain security.

In the time and space without Wang Tong, for Wa, the concept of "Japan" has always been just a concept. People in each feudal state only know that they are from this feudal state, not Japanese. The time is too short, and the various vassal states have not yet merged. The conquest of Ming and Hua and the strict division of borders have exacerbated this division, making it impossible for all parts of the Wa Kingdom to knead into a unified force.

The promotion regulations of the public security army are even admired by the Japanese themselves. As long as they have accumulated military merits to a certain extent, they will be promoted immediately, but they will not be at the head of their own battalion, and will often be transferred to other places. If he is a Han, he will be transferred to Dahua mainland and stationed in Jianzhou Province or Haixi Province, where he will not be treated as a Japanese, but as a Han.

If he wanted, he could move his family to Jianzhou or Haixi, where he could get a piece of hereditary land, or if he didn't want to, he would get a civil position somewhere in Wa.

Generally speaking, Dahua’s control over the Japanese kingdom is strong or weak, and Kyushu is the strongest. On the one hand, it has the assistance of the navy and maritime merchants, and on the other hand, it has the help of the Shimadzu family. On the island of Honshu, both Osaka Prefecture and Edo Prefecture Control is also good here, as both have harbors and garrisons.

The policy that really made Wa Kingdom a Haidong province a hundred years later was not the above items, but the policy of "speaking Chinese, writing Chinese characters, wearing Han clothes, and those who practice Han affairs are Han people".

The Japanese people who originally admired the Chinese civilization did not have much resistance to this policy. Although this nation is fierce and violent, and likes to go to extremes, it completely surrenders to the strong.
That is to say, after implementing this policy for 30 years, a quarter of the population of Wa has reached this standard, and most of them are rich merchants, ministers, monks and the original warrior class. This is the middle and upper class of this nation, that is, in this At that time, the proposal of changing the country of Wa to Haidong Province was put forward.

"Mongolia, Jurchen, North Korea, and Japan, except for the difference in language and customs, are no different from the Chinese people in appearance. They should be the Chinese Miao descendants who scattered all over the world in ancient times. After such a nation is completely assimilated, it will be the Han people. Ten years, 50 years After a hundred years, they will all be citizens of China. As for those Fan people with tall noses, deep eyes, blue eyes and white skin, they are not my race. In the long run, you will definitely die."

For a long period of time, what Wang Tong said in the conversation was a sermon that only senior officials and nobles of Dahua could see and must see.
