Chapter 399 Economic and Cultural Aggression

The Shimazu family was almost wiped out.

Hisao Shimazu successfully took the position of governor of the Shimazu family, but his family died at the hands of this new governor.

Now, it is time to reorganize the entire Satsuma Domain.

Ding Yunyi appointed Qi Yumu as his plenipotentiary representative in Tsurumaru City, called "supervision".

The position of "Supervisor" is not a real official position, but it holds great power in his hands. His existence is Ding Yunyi's plenipotentiary representative in Tsurumaru Castle and even the entire Satsuma Domain, and he is the only person who can represent Ding Yunyi.

, is the real master who holds the power of life and death in the Satsuma Domain...

Hisao Shimazu knows this very well, but he doesn't care. For him, as long as he can sit in this position, he is satisfied...

And now there is another question in front of Ding Yunyi...

In order to firmly hold Satsuma Domain in hand, in addition to dispatching "supervision", the army is also indispensable. But Ding Yunyi once promised the general's envoy that he would never install Da Ming in Satsuma Domain.

One soldier at a time...At least now, judging from the strength of the Tiger Guards, it has not yet reached the point of full-scale war with Japan. What's more, Zheng Zhilong will never allow this to happen. The Zheng family in Japan

Zheng Zhilong will not give up his status so easily.

Unless one day the Huben Guards can defeat the Zheng Family Navy...

What kind of armed forces should be left here so as not to arouse the high alertness of the Japanese and Zheng Zhilong? In fact, Ding Yunyi already has the answer to this point...

"What? You want me to pretend to be a pirate and stationed in Tsurumaru City?" Long Zhantian shouted as soon as he heard this: "No. No, Headquarters. I can agree to anything, but on this point I really...

..”

The reaction of his subordinates had already been planned by Ding Yunyi. He smiled and asked Long Zhantian to sit down: "Qi Yumu has stayed, and now he needs help. Zhantian, I have thought about it for a long time, and you are the most suitable candidate.

Already..."

Ding Yunyi's words were very sincere. Long Zhantian was silent for a long time, and then he said: "Since the decision has been made by the general town, there is no reason for me to continue to shirk it, but...it's just that I am really weak in this regard."

No experience..."

"No one has experience." Ding Yunyi smiled: "You have only one mission here, to monitor Hisao Shimazu and all the Japanese in Tsurumaru City. If there is any commotion, kill without mercy! Zhantian, here

Sooner or later, it will become our base and our bridgehead... Japan is not just one Satsuma Pana!"

In an instant, Long Zhantian understood what Ding Yunyi meant.

Lord Souzhen’s eyes are not just on the Satsuma Domain...

"It can take as little as three years or as many as five years. I will send someone to replace you." Ding Yunyi looked at his subordinates: "I will leave you with 500 elite tiger guards. In order to deceive others, they will all disguise themselves as Shimazu Hisao.

Guard. At the same time, I will leave another thousand pirates behind, under the unified command of Hai Nixiong, who will also obey your orders... Shimazu Hisao has surrendered to me now, so there is no need to worry too much. I am worried about other things.

The Japanese..."

He paused there: "Resistance will inevitably occur, and I judge that it will be very frequent. Iron-fisted measures are indispensable. This is your responsibility. What you did here and how many people you killed will all

I will support you from behind, as for other aspects..."

Speaking of this, he happened to see Qi Yumu come in, and Ding Yunyi also greeted him and sat down: "Ruling the Satsuma Domain by force is one aspect, while economic and cultural rule is another aspect. I heard that the economic situation of the Satsuma Domain is very bad.

, especially after this war, the economy has been severely damaged, so I decided to transport a batch of grain to Satsuma Domain..."

"What?" Long Zhantian stood up as soon as he heard this: "We still have to transport food to Satsuma Domain?"

Ding Yunyi and Qi Yumu looked at each other and smiled, and Qi Yumu said slowly: "Brother Long, don't you understand what the main town is thinking? When did you see the main town killing people and would be merciful? But Satsuma is so big, we don't have enough strength.

, it is impossible to manage the entire Satsuma Domain. If we kill people here today and kill people there tomorrow, we are afraid that we will be exhausted first, and the Satsuma Domain may not be under our control yet, so first

Stabilizing them is essential..."

Long Zhantian slowly sat down and heard Qi Yumu say:

"This is actually the same everywhere. The people have nothing to eat and are about to starve to death, so there is no other way but to rebel. But if you let them have enough to eat, they will not take risks easily.

..."

What Qi Yumu said was just one point, but Ding Yunyi actually had another layer of thoughts in his mind.

In the future, when his strength is further strengthened, he will soon set his sights on the whole of Japan. At that time, just as what Long Zhantian said just now, he will need a reliable base to carry out the operations in his heart.

The big plan...

Satsuma Domain is undoubtedly the best choice...

If you want to make this place full of traitors and have power at your disposal... then you will have half the chance of winning the future war...

He did not fully reveal his thoughts in front of his subordinates... Some things have not yet been put into practice...

"In terms of economy, we must exploit it to the greatest extent possible." On this point, Ding Yunyi did not hide his thoughts at all: "Do everything possible to use the resources and manpower of the Satsuma Domain for my own use, and even turn them into

To become a reliable base that can provide the greatest help to Taiwan. Of course, these require your efforts... But I have one request for you, and you must do it..."

Ding Yunyi glanced at his subordinates. Then he said: "First of all, the words searched in Satsuma Domain... Well, the word "search" may not sound very nice, but the fact is exactly like this.

Every tael of silver and even every copper plate collected must be shipped to Taiwan as soon as possible without any delay... Second point, if one day I need it in Taiwan

A lot of hard work, you must do it within the time I specified..."

He took care of every detail and explained everything very carefully.

Qi Yumu and Long Zhantian also listened very seriously and did not dare to omit anything.

Now they are beginning to know all the thoughts of Lord Soujin. Soujin wants to treat Satsuma Domain as a... a huge warehouse, and continuously take away from it until all its power is exhausted.

So far... and the previous food delivered to Satsuma Domain was just a means to stabilize people's hearts before a crazy search...

When the Satsuma Domain was stabilized, that was the beginning of their nightmare!

As for when to take action, it does not depend on the mayor, but on Qi Yumu and Long Zhantian...

"The last point is about culture..." Ding Yunyi said slowly at this time: "Yu Mu, Zhan Tian, ​​don't underestimate the word culture. Sometimes it is more terrifying than the effects of swords and guns.

...There are three weapons: military colonization, economic colonization, and cultural colonization. The former is easy to see. The latter two, especially the third weapon, will make a nation die comfortably in a frog boiled in warm water. Simple.

It is difficult to conquer a nation using military means, but the role of cultural colonization is very great..."

When he talked about this issue, his expression was very serious: "Let foreign species and foreign culture, through propaganda, temptation, and subtle influence, make the people of a nation generally accept this foreign culture and values, and let this nation worship foreigners and lose their nation.

Self-confidence, losing national spirit and belief, taking pride in accepting this foreign culture, taking pride in betraying the country and betraying the spiritual beliefs of the nation, taking pride in slandering and slandering the basic ethics of the nation, and forgetting the ancestors. Let every living person lose

The soul becomes a corpse-like body!"

Qi Yumu and Long Zhantian were surprised. This was the first time they heard the Lord of the Town talking about this issue.

Ding Yunyi said slowly: "In the animal world, how do we eliminate alien species to minimize the invasion and danger of alien species to local species? Looking at us humans, the conflict of ideas between countries has always existed.

The signs of cultural conflict have never eased...How to make the Japanese fully accept our culture, everyone, this is a very important issue that you should consider, and it is also the top priority to stabilize our rule...

..”

Qi Yumu thought for a while: "General Town, this is easy to say, but it is difficult to actually do it... Although Japan cannot compare with our Ming Dynasty in all aspects, after all, it

It also has a long history, and some of it has been deeply rooted in their minds. How can we make them accept our culture and accept it completely?"

"Then let's start with the doll." Ding Yunyi cracked his white teeth and smiled involuntarily: "It is difficult to reverse all the inherent thinking patterns in adults' minds, but the doll is different...

.The doll is like a piece of blank paper. No matter what we draw or tell them, they will accept it... Let's put it this way, we are the first generation and we have laid down the foundation, and from the second generation

Starting from the third generation, we must let them know that the Satsuma Domain has always belonged to China, and this cannot be changed by anyone or any force..."

Qi Yumu suddenly smiled: "Zhongzhen, your ambitions are really lofty."

"It's not that I have lofty ambitions, but that this is what I have to do." Ding Yunyi stopped smiling: "There are many enemies around us, and Japan is the most dangerous enemy... I

This is not an alarmist statement, but it is the fact. This danger must be eliminated within our generation..."

Qi Yumu and Long Zhantian didn't believe it.

Although there have been Japanese pirate rebellions in history, they still don't quite understand how much harm Japan has done to China.

"The Tang Dynasty was the so-called best period for the relationship between China and Japan..." When Ding Yunyi said this, his face was full of disdain. He took out what he had already written and handed it to Qi Yumu.

On the hand: "Yu Mu, take a look at these first."

Qi Yumu took it and saw that what was written on it was something related to the envoy sent by Japan to the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty, Japan followed the old system of sending envoys to the Sui Dynasty and sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty. The first envoy was sent in the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, and the last one was sent in the fifth year of Kaicheng (the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty). In the first year of Tang Qianning's reign, Japan was ready to send envoys again and had appointed them. However, due to Sugawara Michizane's advice, he

From then on, they officially stopped sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty. In more than 260 years, except for three appointments that failed to take place, the Japanese envoys who arrived in Chang'an were sent twice to send envoys from the Tang Dynasty to return home, and once to welcome the envoys from the Tang Dynasty to Japan. There were ten official plans to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty.

Second time. The officials of the mission are the envoy, the deputy envoy, the judge, and the recorder. In addition to about half of the helmsmen and sailors, the members of the mission also include the chief god, the divination department, the onmyoji, the doctor, the painter, the musician, the translator, and the historian.

, as well as shipbuilders, shipwrights, shipwrights, carpenters, casters, blacksmiths, jade workers and other craftsmen. Accompanying them are long-term studying abroad monks, foreign students and short-term study monks and returning monks who will return to China with the same mission.

students. There were also archers engaged in defense. At the beginning, the mission consisted of more than 200 people, traveling on two ships. Later, it was increased to four ships, and the number increased to more than 500 people. However, only a few of the main members were allowed to enter Chang'an.

The purpose of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty was to learn from China and absorb the culture of the Tang Dynasty, so they attached great importance to the selection of mission personnel, especially ambassadors, deputy envoys, judges, recorders and other officials. For example, Gao Xiang Xuanli and Kibi Zhenbei studied in China for a long time

; Many members are doctors of articles, and Shan Yiliang, Ono Huang, and Sugawara Michizane are even more famous literary figures. Two fathers and sons have been appointed as envoys successively, also because of their education and experience, which are conducive to learning from the Tang Dynasty.

There are only about 20 names of students who entered the Tang Dynasty, but more than 90 monks were sent to the Tang Dynasty along with the Tang envoys and merchant ships. They visited famous mountains in China, sought advice from teachers, and brought back a large number of Buddhist scriptures, statues, and Buddhist utensils.

etc., and at the same time, paintings, sculptures, etc. related to Buddhism were introduced.

Qi Yumu was such a smart person. When he saw what the Chief had written, he immediately understood what he meant. He put it away carefully and said respectfully: "Headmaster, I know what should be done."
