Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 526

After many years, people remembered this place and called it by the name of Dongying, and even the term Japan was gradually mentioned less frequently.

In the history textbooks of Dongying teenagers, there is also mention of the event of a hundred ships that is very important to Dongying.Different from the Japanese in another plane, the record of the black ship’s voyage is generally negative and mixed with subtle emotions. The Ming’s hundred ship’s voyage and the previous Nagasaki incident are considered to be the beginning of Japan’s entry into modern society. .

In Japanese history textbooks, it is recorded as follows: Prior to this, privileged classes such as warriors in Japan restricted the development of society, farmers, businessmen and businesses were under oppression and exploitation, and the decadent system could not stimulate any creativity.And when the advanced scientific and technological strength and national power of Ming Dynasty were displayed in front of Dongying, the people of Dongying knew that the past era was over, and they joined the big family of Dongxia ethnic groups united and advancing hand in hand, and marched forward into a new era of people-based rule of law. Right in front of you.

Even after more than 40 years in Dongying, the Xuanfu Department officially announced that the day when the hundred ships sailed was designated as a public holiday of Dongying, and became the Hundred Ships Day.

Edo Castle was still a low-rise Japanese-style building at this time, but it was already a large-scale city.Standing at the Edo castle tower overlooking the city, Zheng Sen felt like looking down on the world.

Bai Mingxiu walked behind him and said, "What is King Ying's plan for Dongying?"

Zheng Sen did not look back, but looked at the mountains and rivers from a distance, and said calmly: "In the final analysis, Japan is still the land of the Ming Dynasty, and I, Zheng Damu, am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. What plans and initiatives Japan has, it should be the Council of Governors or the Xuan Dynasty How can I get involved in Fusi’s affairs?”

Bai Mingxiu still observed him carefully to confirm how sincere his words were.

The result is that there is still some sincerity, but the Guoxing Lord obviously has no intention of really getting out of the various major events in Japan.

But he also understands very well that if he really regards Dongpu as his independent small kingdom and can do whatever he wants here, then he really has no IQ.

As far as the Dongying Fan Army is concerned, although Zheng Chenggong can mobilize this army now, it is because Zheng Chenggong still has a military position and is also the commander-in-chief of the Fan Army.But if he completely resigns from the military post, then the Ministry of War of the Legislative Yuan will send a new commander of the Fan Army to take over the work of the Fan Army.Although the fan army was established by his Zheng family, it is definitely not his Zheng family's private army.

On the other hand, the vassal army accepts the dual leadership of the Ministry of War and the Xuanfu Department. In emergencies, the Xuanfu Department can also mobilize the vassal army to perform tasks such as suppressing riots or defending against foreign enemies.

The current penetration of the Zheng family in Japan is reflected in both political and economic aspects. Many people from the Zheng family serve as officials in the Xuanfu Division. However, the position of Xuanfu Envoy must be appointed by the Li Zhengyuan, and people from the Zheng family do not have their turn. ; In terms of economy, the various companies that the Zheng family participated in are now also very important to Dongying's economy.

The reason why Bai Mingxiu asked Zheng Chenggong was because he wanted to know what means he had to prevent the Zheng family from becoming a big deal in Dongpu in the future, and even to the imperial court.

Bai Mingxiu is a very realistic person. He doesn't think that everything will go smoothly in a country or region, and there will definitely be problems of one kind or another. Therefore, he accepts that there are some contradictions or irregularities in a society.But he certainly cannot accept a Xuanfu Division or Xuanwei Division that is at odds with the main body of the Ming Dynasty.So even though Dongying was entrusted to Zheng Chenggong in name, in terms of management and various systems, Dongying still has to follow the local methods of Ming Dynasty.

Education should be consistent with that of Ming Dynasty, especially the patriotic education received is consistent.Cultivate their healthy values ​​and let them know that their allegiance is to Ming, not the Zheng family.Therefore, King Ying's own status and symbolic significance will be downplayed in the future of Dongying Xuanfu Division.

As smart as Mr. Guo is, he actually roughly understands what the emperor is thinking.Because Xuanfusi had already shown some similar characteristics after arriving in Japan.

Zheng Chenggong turned around and said to Bai Mingxiu: "Eastern Ocean has very good conditions and abundant manpower, and it can become an important area of ​​Ming Dynasty in the future. Now the entire East Ocean has been closed for a long time, and there are too many dross poisons, which need to be cleaned up one by one. This king will also do his best for the Xuanfu Division. The Xuanfu envoy Qian Wangsun has a more detailed plan, which is generally to first stabilize the social situation in Dongying, liberate the common people from the land, and give them the opportunity to engage in different industries. Possibly, and carry out the initial reform of rural cooperative education.”

In fact, Zheng Chenggong had more plans in mind than this plan. The Ming Dynasty Council usually did not make development plans for the ordinary Xuanfu Division and Xuanwei Division, or integrated them into the Ming Dynasty's economic system. I want the Xuanfu Division and the Xuanwei Division to carry out comprehensive industrialization and create a lot of industrial categories.Because this will inevitably affect the development of local industry. Although the Ming Dynasty is much better than the European colonists, it can build colonies and bring prosperity to the colonies, but its importance is completely different compared to the mainland.Industrial development is taking place almost everywhere in the country, and the results are outstanding.Only a few Xuanweisi, such as Meng Mian, received relatively good policies and were supported to develop industry.

The Council of Governors did not clearly stipulate what Japan could develop and what industries it should develop, but Zheng Chenggong still hoped to make his "fiefdom" as prosperous as possible, even comparable to the mainland.His plan is to use the capital of Zheng's consortium to invest in steel, machinery, shipbuilding, mining, textiles and other industries on a large scale. If they can meet the development needs of the four islands of Japan, then the scale of these industries is already very large.

To this end, on the one hand, he hopes to attract some skilled immigrants from the mainland, and on the other hand, he hopes to promote education and cultivate talents in Japan to finally solve his problem of industrial employment.

After Bai Mingxiu learned about his approach, he couldn't help feeling that what this guy was doing was actually an improved version of the Meiji Restoration.But in this plane, Japan will never get any more chances.It has become a part of Ming Dynasty, and since Ming Dynasty has developed, there will no longer be a situation where the middle is weak and the day is strong.Dongpu will only serve as a vassal of Ming Dynasty and run all the way honestly.

Zheng Chenggong asked: "Commander Wang Kai, the fleet will return home tomorrow, right?"

Bai Mingxiu nodded: "Yes, it has been more than two years since I left the motherland, which is longer than planned."
