Chapter 163 We can colonize!Ouyang Lun’s few requests (please subscribe!!)
Soon, the entire Japanese capital was captured, all personnel were detained and guarded, and the city gate guards were replaced by their own people.
Ouyang Lun took the seal, the population atlas and the document begging for surrender from Emperor Guangming, only glanced at it, and then threw it to Tang He.
"Second uncle, isn't this solved?"
Tang He looked at the things in his hands and suddenly laughed.
"Haha, if we really capture the Japanese city of Kyoto and capture the Emperor Komori and the Ashikaga, Oda, Kamakura and other Japanese powerful families, then we will have a large number of hostages, and we can completely run amok in Japan."
Tang He knew very well that with these people in hand, let alone Japan's 50 million troops, even if there were millions or tens of millions of troops, he would not be afraid at all.
Ouyang Lun nodded, "Second uncle is right, we are now the emperors of Japan!"
"The Emperor is in hand, you can do whatever you want!"
At this time, Fang Mingqian came over, saluted Tang He and Ouyang Lun, and said: "Your Excellency, Mr. Ouyang, this Japanese capital city has been occupied by us, but there are too many ordinary people, a rough estimate of about 50 , we only have more than 1 people, and it is very difficult to manage.”
"Please give us instructions on how to deal with these people."
Tang He gritted his teeth, "50 people, not only can't they be guarded, but how much do they need to eat in a day?"
Tang He said with fierce eyes, "In that case, let's just kill them all and leave only the emperor and other useful people to save trouble!"
"My nephew, what do you think?"
"Emotionally, I also want to slaughter the entire city of Kyoto to avenge my Chinese people." Ouyang Lun said solemnly.
"Good nephew, these Japanese people not only participated themselves, but also allowed Japanese pirates, pirates, and pirates to plunder our people of the Ming Dynasty. It is estimated that 60 million people of the Ming Dynasty have died at their hands over the years!"
"All the people on Chrysanthemum Island were slaughtered by the Japanese pirates! Today we will have a massacre in Kyoto! Just in time for revenge! Tooth for tooth!"
Tang He believed that what Ouyang Lun said about avenging the Chinese people was only the people who had been killed by Japanese pirates in recent years. He himself also hated Japanese pirates deeply.
After speaking, Tang He said to Fang Mingqian: "What are you waiting for? Go and execute it quickly!"
"Yes." Fang Mingqian nodded and planned to carry out the massacre.
"Fang Mingqian, wait a minute!" Ouyang Lun stopped Fang Mingqian, then looked at Tang He and said, "The damage that Japan has caused to China is far more than this. There will be more after today, and they are more and more cruel each time. .”
"In this case, there is no need to wait anymore, kill! Otherwise we will cause trouble in the future!" Tang He said immediately, and he was very excited as he said it.
But Ouyang Lun shook his head, "It's too cheap to kill them, and it will dirty our hands!"
"One more thing, even if all of us start killing these 60 to [-] people, then each of us will have to kill at least [-] people." Will they finish the killing? "
Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Tang He felt a little shaken and had no choice but to look at Ouyang Lun: "My dear nephew, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Ouyang Lun thought for a while and said: "We have captured the minds of the Emperor Guangming and the major Japanese families. Those soldiers who came to support the Japanese can only be at our mercy."
"The Japanese capital of Kyoto is now mostly populated by women and children, and has no use value at all. Our goal from the beginning to the end is to eliminate Japan's active forces. Once the Japanese army is destroyed, then Japan will be like a wolf with its teeth pulled out, without any threat. In the end, it can only be domesticated and become an autumn dog!"
Hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Tang He's eyes lit up and he extended his thumb to Ouyang Lun, "It's up to you. What to do next is up to you!"
Ouyang Lun thought for a while, "Although we have Emperor Koumei and members of major Japanese families in our hands, there are still some omissions, such as Ashikaga Takauji. This guy is currently the most powerful person in Japan. Even Emperor Koumei is just a His puppet."
Fang Mingqian nodded, "Master Ouyang is right. My subordinates have checked the list and found that Ashikaga Takauji had already secretly escaped when the Sea Wolf team attacked."
Ouyang Lun continued: "We control the lives of 60 million people in Kyoto, which is enough to prevent the Japanese army from attacking us, but it is not enough to make these Japanese troops lay down their weapons and surrender!"
"After all, Ashikaga Takauji is on the run now. Once he joins the Japanese army, there is no guarantee that he will not jump over the wall and choose to attack Kyoto City."
"But I have just asked the Sea Wolf team to set off to find the Penglai Navy and the Fujian Navy. In your name, I asked them to log directly to the Japanese island and come as quickly as possible. In this way, the Penglai and Fujian Navy The total division army has 60 people and can surround the Japanese army, thus forcing the Japanese army to surrender."
"Okay! Just now I was thinking about how to deal with the surrounding Japanese troops, but my nephew has already thought of a way!" Tang He said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right to send you here. I have never fought like this before." Easy fight!”
"But nephew, why do you want to use my name? Can't you use your own name?"
Faced with Tang He's question, Ouyang Lun smiled and said: "People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. I prefer to keep a low profile. Second uncle, you are the commander-in-chief of this Eastern Expedition. You are the commander-in-chief of the third navy, too." You fought all the way from Matsuura County to Kyoto and set a legendary record of destroying Japan in nine days, and then you subdued hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops!"
amount……
Tang and Kuanghan, it seems that he did all these things, but only he knew that if it weren't for Ouyang Lun, he would have been discovered before he even reached Dongying Island.
Wait, others are looking for someone to take the blame, but Ouyang Lun is looking for someone to take the honor! Can't see through, can't see through.
But the matter of carrying honor, well...it's still pretty good.
wrong.
Not long after Tang He secretly rejoiced, he suddenly realized something, that is, based on his understanding of Ouyang Lun, this guy is definitely not the kind of good guy who does good deeds without leaving his name behind, and is really just a little benefit! "Good nephew, you gave me such a big deal, don't you want any benefits at all?" Tang He said seriously: "Although our relationship is closer than that of uncles and nephews, brothers still know how to settle accounts, and I can't take advantage of you. It’s such a big deal and you don’t have any expression at all.”
"Just tell me what you want!"
Ouyang Lun smiled slightly and said, "Second uncle, open up!"
"I don't have much idea. I just hope that my second uncle can hand over the surrendered Japanese army to me. You also know that I send people from Beizhili. These free labors are really urgently needed."
Tang He nodded, "That's no problem. His Majesty also knows about the people you sent, and these Japanese troops also need to be dealt with. You took them to Beizhili, just in time to help solve the problem."
"Thank you, uncle." Ouyang Lun continued with a smile: "In addition, I also want [-]% of the wealth stolen this time."
Tang He frowned slightly, "You are so rich, why do you still need money?" Ouyang Lun spread his hands, "Second uncle, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. The Yong'an Mansion has indeed made a lot of money, but the money spent Even more, your coastal defense line is worth 1000 million, Beizhili infrastructure construction has issued many bonds worth tens of millions, and there are gold-devouring behemoths such as military factories and shipyards. This money seems to come from the hands of the people. It’s raised, but it actually requires continuous injection from the outside, and I can’t print money now.”
Tang He seemed to understand, and was a little confused: "Xiannephew, I know it's not easy for you, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Majesty to pass this matter."
"Second Uncle, we have the final say on how much we capture this time. The reason why I didn't ask for them all is because I took this into consideration. You can reward the remaining [-]% to the soldiers, and then report the last [-]% as a seizure. , so that no one is aware of it!"
Ouyang Lun said with a smile.
"..." Tang He was speechless, "My dear nephew, thank you for taking this into consideration. Normally we would underreport at most [-]%, but you want me to underreport by [-]%!"
"Second uncle, just tell me whether you want to do it or not!" Ouyang Lun asked directly.
"Can I not do it? If it weren't for you this time, there wouldn't be such a victory. No wonder you asked me to take so many cargo ships. You have already decided to give back the relationship." Tang He said speechlessly.
Just when Tang He thought Ouyang Lun's request was finally completed, Ouyang Lun made another request, "Second uncle, I have one more request!"
"Damn! Are you done yet!" Tang He couldn't help it anymore, "Give me the honor, but you have to eat all the benefits! I beg you, please leave me a mouthful of soup to drink!"
Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "Second uncle, don't you want to know the best way to deal with Japan?"
"What else can we do? Completely occupy Dongying Island. From now on, Dongying Island will be part of the Ming Dynasty!"
Ouyang Lun shook his head, "Japan Island is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, and is separated by the Sea of Japan, the Yellow Sea, and the Bohai Sea. How to manage Japan after it is occupied. The imperial court's management of Japan can only be beyond the reach of the whip."
"Liaodong is still the capital of Liaodong and has not set up a chief secretary or a censorship department. One of the important reasons is that it is difficult to manage!"
After hearing this, Tang He also felt that direct occupation was not very realistic. After thinking for a while, he continued: "Then let Japan become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and claim vassal status and pay tribute. This is the easiest way."
"This is indeed simple. In my impression, Japan has always had the habit of claiming vassalage and paying tribute to the Chinese dynasty. The word Japan was also a reward from Wu Zetian, but what are the consequences?"
"Let's put it this way, there is no difference between us just letting Japan declare itself a vassal and pay tribute and letting the tiger return to the mountain. In a few years, Japan will show its teeth and claws at the Ming Dynasty again!"
amount……
After Tang He heard this, he suddenly felt dizzy, "Nephew, this won't work, that won't work either. What do you think... what should I do?"
Ouyang Lun smiled slightly, "It's not possible to occupy and pay tribute, but we can colonize!"
"This is a more advanced method!"
"Colonization? How to colonize?" Tang He asked hurriedly.
"Simple, the first step in colonization is to use absolute strength to defeat the original regime in the colonial area and make those in power fearful. We have already accomplished this." Ouyang Lun said with a smile.
"Indeed, even their emperor kneels down to us, he must be very scared." Tang He nodded, "What should we do next?"
"This is the second step." Ouyang Lun smiled evilly, "We have to tell them that we are not bad people, we are teachers of justice. The reason why we beat them is because they made mistakes. Just find one of them, of course. It is an iron crime for the Japanese to invade our Ming coastal areas, and here they refer to everyone in Japan, especially ordinary people in Japan."
"The third step is to sign an unequal colonial treaty, requiring Japan to open its market, allowing Ming merchants to do business in Japan, and have privileges. The people we send will serve as the governor of Japan, replacing Japan's original generals who conquered the barbarians and the shogunate, responsible for establishing and Training the Japanese army, and at the same time demanding a huge amount of war reparations. Of course, we are kind-hearted and will not ask for it all at once. We will also ask them to pay it back in installments. It can be 30 years or 100 years. Just a little interest, 4%. Pay the interest first, it’s absolutely conscientious.”
"As long as [-]% interest, it is indeed very conscientious." Tang He nodded.
"The fourth step... we need to win over the scholars in Japan, compile some books praising the Ming Dynasty, and tell the Japanese people how great the Ming Dynasty is. Of course, these are all things after colonization, and we will talk about it later."
Tang He stretched out his thumb and said, "My dear nephew, your method is really great. In this way, we don't have to spend too much effort to manage Japan, and we can continue to get benefits from Japan Island. Even if His Majesty is here, Will agree."
"Then what is your request? It can't be these compensations, right? If I give you all these compensations, I can't explain it to His Majesty!"
Seeing Tang He's nervous look, Ouyang Lun waved his hand, "Second uncle, do you think I am such a greedy person?"
"Like!" Tang He nodded without hesitation.
amount……
"Second Uncle, don't worry. I don't want any of Japan's future war reparations to the Ming Dynasty. I only want the ownership of the minerals on Japan Island." Ouyang Lun said.
No compensation, just mineral ownership!
Tang He was overjoyed, this request was very satisfying! But just in case, Tang He still turned to look at Fang Mingqian, "Go find someone and ask if this Dongying Island is rich in minerals and how much they are worth."
"Yes!" Fang Mingqian hurriedly went to check.
"Good nephew, if you are not my second uncle, I don't trust you. It's really..." Tang He explained with a smile.
"I understand." Ouyang Lun nodded.
After a while, Ma Mingqian ran over and said, "Your Excellency, I interrogated several ministers and nobles. They all said that there are no minerals on the island, mainly some iron ore and a small amount of silver ore, and the total value should not exceed 100. Ten thousand."
Hearing this, Tang He was relieved and nodded immediately, "Xiannie, I have promised you this. The minerals on Dongying Island belong to you, but these will wait until I write to His Majesty and His Majesty agrees. OK."
"Of course, if my emperor father-in-law doesn't nod, I won't dare to accept it even if you promise!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile.
"Xiannephew, your "not too much" request should be over!" Tang He asked quickly.
"I have no other requests."
"Huh -" Tang He breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s finally over!
