Chapter 767 Ultimate Goal

Businessmen are high-risk people with bad human nature. If they are left alone, any country will be messed up. This is not a speculation, but a historical fact. From another perspective, if we do not violently crack down on the evil side of human nature, the moral level of the entire human society will fall below the bottom line.

The social structure and moral system of the Ming Dynasty were enough to suppress merchants, but not in Japan. Even if merchants make the people in Japan live in poverty, Chen Xie would not have too many dissatisfactions. The key is that he could not open this hole. This involves a question of rulemaking and rule maintenance. Chen Xie had to formulate a rule, and then this rule had the ability to keep pace with the times and improve itself.

The core of the problem is that everyone has to abide by the rules. If you go beyond this rule, you must accept punishment.

All the merchants dared not speak anymore and lowered their heads to avoid Chen Xie's eyes. However, they could not block their ears.

"I know you are dissatisfied and think you don't get the corresponding reward after you give it. So, are you really not rewarded? Or is my intelligence lying to me? Song Zhao, you should have three days of ships from Huating to Sakai Port, and now it has become six. What's going on? How do you explain the three new shops you have obtained in Sakai Port? And you, Kong Ning, can you explain who you were talking to last night? And you, Zhang He, I heard that you have taken another concubine. Oh, by the way, I didn't notice that the people of the Zheng family are also here. The Japan route is the traditional advantage of the Zheng family. It has not developed much in recent years. Are you very sorry for this brother of the Zheng family? Do you want me to say hello to Zheng Zhilong and transfer you to the Indian route?"

One by one, the merchants who were named by Chen Xie all knelt on the ground and shivered. In the past month, all of their actions have been clearly seen in the eyes of others. Everyone present has gained huge benefits from the landing of Sakai Port. Relying on the support of the army, they have taken advantage of their robbery, exploited their past partners and attacked their competitors. And what they did has not encountered too much resistance because of the existence of the army.

"If one-third of the Sakai Port in the past was the world of Ming merchants, and two-thirds of the Sakai Port in the present were the power of Ming. Are you still not satisfied with this? You still have to reach into Chen's bowl? Whatever you do, Chen turned a blind eye to him. Do you really think that I don't know anything?" After saying this, all the merchants knelt down, and then everyone remembered that this was "King Chen Yan"!

"Good luck, my husband!" After Song Zhao of Songjiang Mansion was the first to shout out, everyone else shouted. At this time, his imagination was getting bigger and bigger. Now it was during the war, killing a few people was really like playing. And this is in Japan, and you have no place to reason if you kill them. There is a sea around, and throwing them into the sea is so easy.

"Now you know you're scared?" Chen Xie stood up and sneered. His eyes swept around again. When everyone kowtowed like garlic. The Lord knelt down and begged Chen Xie to be a traitor, Yoshita Yamauchi, who was standing at the door. Looking at the ugly appearance of these Ming people at this time, it felt like a dream. These people could walk sideways in Japan, and no one dared to offend them. Even the Daming people would not dare to offend the merchants of the Ming Empire easily, lest they attract the army of the Ming Empire.

Looking at this scene now, Yamauchi Toshima became more and more confident that he had to hold on to this thigh and not relax.

"Hmph!" Leaving these businessmen, Chen Xie stepped out of the door and saw Toyota Yamauchi changing into military uniform and standing straight. He reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Yes, how are you doing what you have told me?"

"Report to your opinion, the best of Sakai Port Japan's merchants are basically talking. Chen Xie didn't stop him from doing this, anyway, he was not from the Ming Dynasty.

"Very good!" Chen Xie praised, and continued to walk forward. Yamauchi Toyota followed with his footsteps, bent his waist and followed behind him. After walking a few steps, Chen Xie stopped and turned around and said, "The whole of Japan needs to establish a new order. Can I trust you?"

"Hey, please don't worry, lord, the villain is willing to go through fire and water for lord." Yamauchi Toyota was overjoyed. This was a sign that Yamauchi's family would prosper. At this time, he was still worried, but his father refused to come to see Chen Xie for a long time. What he was worried about was that Chen Xie held the Hongmen Banquet. However, this old guy was very smart and claimed to be seriously ill, and the position of the head of the family was also represented by Yamauchi Toyota. In this way, Chen Xie was too lazy to argue with this clever little warlord. Yamauchi Toyota had brought out 80% of the combat effectiveness of the Tosa vassal.

"Very good. The merchants inside will spit out half of the amount they eat from the Japanese merchants. And what you have to do is to return this half to the Japanese merchants. Tell those Japanese merchants that if something similar happens in the future, you can report it directly to me through you. In the future, Sakai Port will establish a new government agency, and your new position is to assist the chief officer of the new government and manage the social security of Sakai Port. Remember, no matter who is on the territory of Sakai Port, you must abide by the law. Otherwise, you have the right to deal with these people according to the law." Chen Seol slowed down and Toyota Yamanuchi knelt down directly. Sakai Port, the richest place in Japan (uh, this guy has changed his words) is nowhere to be left to him to manage now. Although there is a chief officer of the Ming Dynasty, his own rights are already very high and he can deal with the illegal acts of the Ming Dynasty merchants. With this, Toyota Yamanuchi knelt down willingly.

At this time, Chen Xie waved his hand, Ayue came over with a plate, Chen Xie reached out to pick up a badge from the plate, the pattern on it was a flying eagle, and greeted Toshiba Yamauchi. Chen Xie personally put it on his chest, patted his shoulder and said, "Do it well, I hope your future position will be Prime Minister Yingzhou."

The system Chen Xie created for the future Japan is actually an improved version of the Ming system. Centrification is necessary. This centralization is not monarchal centralization, but class centralization. This class is the existing aristocratic class, and they depend on Chen Xie to survive. The improved part is naturally to abolish some privileges of the past samurai and give them the right to manage the country. The past samurai had too much rights to the people under their rule and had to be greatly weakened. The Japanese aristocratic class who lost the ownership of the people under their rule will lose the foundation of separatism. Another important thing is that nationalization, except for the land distributed to the people, all other resources belong to the country and the symbol of the country, the new Japanese king Chen Xie.

Under such a system, the samurai class in the past will be transformed into a master of management, rather than a master of land and population. Of course, the key task at the moment is to end the war as soon as possible and clean up the rebels' names. This cleaning is not to eliminate them, but to exile them to India and go to that place to fight for another piece of territory.

If you think about it carefully, this method is quite interesting. The wolf nature of the Japanese samurai is naturally fine when it comes to India, but the people under their rule are a group of sheep, or a group of sheep that cannot be transformed. Moreover, in that place in India, Chen Xie did not intend to kill all the nobles and the local kings, and he had to keep at least half of them, and use this half to continue to maintain India's caste system.

All these places will serve as raw material supply bases and markets to provide blood for the industrial development of the Ming Dynasty. However, this is not Chen Xie’s ultimate goal. In the next fifty years, Chen Xie’s goal is to grab a large piece of land in North America and kill the hidden dangers of a superpower in the cradle. Before this, the existing territory must be consolidated. What to rely on to consolidate is of course relying on the system and a group of new ruling classes.

In short, to create a world with Chinese culture as the core, Chen Xie takes this goal as the end of his struggle.

To put it another way, the rules of the future world are formulated by the Chinese-speaking ethnic group. The distance is very long, but we must continue.

The commander-in-chief of the front enemy, Chang Shiren, had already left Liaodong and appeared on the battlefield in Japan. He did not ride a horse, not because he didn't like it, but because he felt that there was no need. In his opinion, the pattern of war had undergone fundamental changes, and his opponents could only use smoothbore rifles and linear array guns to fight to the decisive battle.

Despite the absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, Chang Shiren ordered an active attack. Before this, the military plan had been formulated by the staff. The purpose of the battle was to destroy the enemy's will to resist, force them to surrender, and accept the fate of failure.

The hot air balloons in the sky float high, and there is more than one. Observing the enemy's movements from all directions and angles seems to be very bullying. But this is war. As long as the enemy can be forced to surrender to their will, both sides of the war will use any means.

Chief of Staff Weng Zhengqing was an artilleryman and was once the head of artillery at the Army School. Even he seemed a little inadequate in the face of the changes in the war pattern brought by the new cannons, so let alone others. Therefore, after the new cannons appeared, the new artillery tactics had not yet been formed and people needed to explore it.

"Old Chang, our observers discovered the rebel artillery positions and hid here. If these artillery soldiers were not eliminated first, they might be hit hard during attack." Weng Zhengqing hurried over and reported the latest news.

Chang Shiren put down the telescope in his hand and pointed to a high ground in the distance and said: "Tell the mountain brigade that it is the commanding height of the entire battlefield. If the high ground cannot be taken within five hours after the war begins, the battle may be delayed for one day. Our plan is to defeat the opponent in two days. If it takes three days, it will be a shame for us." (To be continued...)
