Chapter 1450 Check and balance Dorgon
The Ming Dynasty court went inside and outside, and the "new policy" moved forward step by step amidst the scattered doubts and turmoil.
Although I encountered various problems from time to time, under the helm of Sun Chuanting, I still moved forward in an orderly manner and followed the established plan, and became more and more stable.
Suihai Province, Edo.
Dorgon accompanied Zhang Guowei and walked in the recruit camp outside Edo Castle, watching while "chatting".
Dorgon looked at the Japanese samurai who was training and said with a calm expression: "Shangshu Zhang, Zuo Liangyu led 20,000 new recruits to suppress bandits in the Tanba vassal state. Kazuyama has been guarding Kyushu Island for a long time, Kuroda Tada is in the Guanmen Strait, and Masamune Ida went to the north. At present, the resistance in Suihai Province is still very fierce. At this stage, it is still mainly to suppress the rebellion..."
Zhang Guowei looked at these Japanese warriors. Every move they made was weird. The Ming Dynasty military uniforms were weird, the Ming Dynasty training methods were weird, the shouting commands were weird, and every move was weird.
Zhang Guowei had a expressionless face, and behind him was his guards, with wide waists and cold eyes, and at first glance they were veterans who had been in the military for a long time.
Seeing that he did not speak, Dorgon continued, "The General's Office is currently operating normally. The local government has attracted more Japanese families, and the control over the local area has been further deepened. The abolition of the vassal state has already achieved initial results. However, Ida Masamune, Kuroda Tadayuki, and Karayama Kuroyama hold heavy troops, just like vassal states, without restraint, which is worrying. In the Taizheng Court, although I am the Minister of the Taizheng Court, there are many supporters of Matsuhira Nobutsu, Tokugawa Akihide and others, and many matters are constrained. I hope the court can intervene, otherwise many things will be difficult to do..."
Zhang Guowei did not look at him and said indifferently: "The recruit camp is too unreasonable. The whip leader of the Ministry of War is beyond the reach. I will discuss with the General's Office and hand over the two of the recruit camps to you."
Dorgon's pupils shrank suddenly and he stared at Zhang Guowei seriously.
If the Ming Dynasty really did this, it would be equivalent to giving him the independent recruitment power, which would be equivalent to him being able to freely decide the number of his army!
This is simply telling him directly that Dorgon can proclaim himself king!
Dorgon knew that Japan's current complex structure was more important to check and balance him, and would not allow him to recruit troops and expand his influence in Japan.
But what does Zhang Guowei mean just now?
Dorgon has always been calm, but at this moment, his heart is still pounding, and his breathing becomes faster and slower.
He had had enough of being used as a gun envoy by the Ming Dynasty and had been trying to get rid of it. Although this place in Japan was naturally inappropriate, he still wanted to struggle, secretly accumulating energy, and waiting for an opportunity.
Zhang Guowei turned around and continued: "The main ones are two on the islands of the country. The Navy will take over the Navy. The General's Office requires you to strictly train the General's Office, and retire more than 100,000 people each year. Within three years, 500,000 well-trained recruits are available for call. If necessary, the recruit battalion can be added to two to three. Regarding weapons, weapons, etc., you plan an order and order from the Royal Trading Group. The Ministry of War will no longer restrict it..."
Dorgon clearly heard something in Zhang Guowei's words, and asked him to continue to be a thug. He was ordered to exploit him again.
Dorgon's heart was as clear as a mirror, but he didn't care at all. He looked as usual and bowed slightly and said, "Sir, obey the order."
Zhang Guowei looked at Dorgon who had never been humble and arrogant and suddenly became respectful. His eyes suddenly became cold, and he said in a cold tone: "The court has given you the right, so you must be more attentive to plan for the country. Don't beat you, those little ones, don't beat you anymore. Do you think the court is really blind and you really don't know anything about your actions in Japan? The secret letters of Matsuhei Nobutsu, Tokugawa Akihide and others have been on the marshal's desk for a long time. The reason why they did not deal with you is just to take care of the situation in Japan. If you do not change your advice and continue to go against the will of the court, I will be able to kill you now!"
As soon as Zhang Guowei finished speaking, more than 30 guards suddenly drew their swords, and suddenly surrounded Dorgon. As long as Zhang Guowei snorted again, he could chop Dorgon into meat paste.
The soldiers of Dorgon were shocked not far away and were about to rush over.
Zhang Guowei stared at Dorgon with an unconcealed murderous intent in his eyes.
Dorgon gently raised his left hand, stopping the soldiers approaching, with expressionless face, bowed again, and said, "The official understands."
Zhang Guowei snorted coldly and turned to leave.
His personal guards walked past Dorgon one by one, and the hilt that had not yet returned to the sheath was shining coldly.
Dorgon did not move at all, bowed slightly, and signaled to see Zhang Guowei.
Zhang Guowei walked a few steps away, and his aides followed and whispered: "Sir, Dorgon cannot stay!"
Zhang Guowei naturally saw it, his face was cold and said, "This man, Gu Yuanshi, is definitely not a good person! Now it is not the time to deal with him. Go and call Matsuhira Nobutsu, Tokugawa Akihide and others to see me."
The staff quickly understood and said, "Yes, the student will go now."
That night, Zhang Guowei abandoned Dorgon and others and invited local Japanese forces including Matsuhira Nobutsu, Tokugawa Akihide and others.
Although these people do not control the army, they basically control the Taizheng Yuan and control government affairs.
These people are very alert to the Ming Dynasty, and are even more respectful and uneasy towards this Ming Dynasty figure.
Zhang Guowei's serious face was full of smiles, constantly appeased these people, promising to fight for the court, continue to exempt the taxes of Suihai Province, treat the families of Suihai Province well, treat the civil unrest in Japan in a moderate manner, and will not start a massacre, etc.
Of course, people like Matsuhira Nobutsu and Tokugawa Akihide were allowed to have 500 to 1,000 personal soldiers, and the title of wife and son are no problem.
In addition to the encirclement of his own family, Zhang Guowei also revealed that Concubine Xingzi, the former Emperor of Japan, was pregnant. Once he gave birth to a dragon son, he would convince the emperor and the court to confer the blood of the two emperors as the General of the Conqueror and Minister of the Taizheng, and command the Kingdom of Japan, that is, Suihai Province.
Regarding this article, Matsuhira Nobuzu and Tokugawa Akihide were even more shocked, and his solidified expression was loosened, and he became much closer to Zhang Guowei unconsciously.
After drinking all night, Zhang Guowei, who seemed drunk, gradually became calm and his eyes flashed after these people left.
The staff came in from outside and followed Zhang Guowei's gaze and said, "Sir, these people are afraid that they cannot balance Dorgon, and at most they will cause some trouble."
Zhang Guowei took a sip of strong tea and cheered up his spirits. He said for a moment: "Don't worry about Kyushu Island. Governor Yang has taken over. What I am worried about is Honshu Island. Zuo Liangyu has been thinking about it and has been very close to Dorgon recently. Kuroda Tadayuki, Karayama Kuroshima, Masato Ida and others are still in a position to check and balance Dorgon, so they have to find another way..."
Japan is not as good as Annan and Phnom Penh. It is lonely here and is not connected to the land. It has a dense population and is more than 20 million people, with huge potential. If it starts, the Ming Dynasty does not know how much effort it will take to pacify again.
The staff thought about it and said, "Sir, please report this matter to the General Manager's Office first. You must plan it thoroughly."
Zhang Guowei frowned and said, "Well, when I go back, I will go to Liaodong. I want to have a talk with Yang Sichang."
Yang Sichang was the executor of the last time he challenged Japan. He knew the most about Japan and his voice was more important than Zhang Guowei. If Yang Sichang joined forces with Zhang Guowei, the General's Mansion and even the Qianqing Palace would pay attention to it.
