Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 369 Eighteen Palaces
There are Shikoku on Shikoku Island.

The four countries are Iyo, Awa, Tosa and Sanuki.

Originally, during the Warring States Period in Japan, there were still many powerful people in Shikoku Island.

For example, the Tosa tycoon Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin was a famous tycoon during the Warring States Period in Dongying.

He once led the Soga tribe to unify the Shikoku Islands, which shocked the whole of Japan.

It's a pity that Toyotomi Hideyoshi suppressed Changzong's Ibu Yuanqin just after his rise, and he couldn't make waves.

Later, the Changzonggabe clan repeatedly stood on the wrong team in the Sekigahara Battle and the Osaka Battle. As a result, the entire clan lineage was wiped out by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

In addition, the Saiyuanji, Utsunomiya, Hosokawa, and Kagawa clans once appeared on Shikoku Island. However, the results were similar to those of the Nagamune clan, either declining or dying out.

At this moment, the Shikoku Islands that are entrenched are basically the princes entrusted by the Tokugawa clan.

For example, the Kato family of the Matsuyama domain, the Date family of the Uwajima domain, the Fujita family of the Ozu domain, the Fujido family of the Imabari domain, etc., these are the generals of the Middle Eastern Army in the Sekihara Battle and the Osaka Battle.

The Tokugawa family sealed them all together, and the power of Shikoku Island became fragmented as a result.

At the moment, the only ones with real strength on Shikoku Island are the Yamauchi clan of the Tosa Kochi clan and the Hachisuka clan of the Apodshima clan, but they are not very strong, and they have a maximum of 2 horses.

This strength is naturally incomparable to the Shenji Camp and the Shenwu Camp.

Taichang only had a little understanding of the situation on Shikoku Island, and then decisively ordered Qi Jin, Qin Minping, Cao Bianjiao, and Sun Zushou to lead [-] infantry each to Hiroshima City in the south of Ayi Kingdom.

At the same time, he ordered the Dongyang Navy Fleet and the Beiyang Navy Fleet to sail directly to the Seto Inland Sea.

After the naval ships and the infantry of the Shenji Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion were all in place, he ordered the ships of the Dongyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy to immediately transfer the infantry and began to land and seize Shikoku Island.

This Hiroshima Castle was originally the main city of the Maori clan, and the Maori Navy once dominated the Seto Inland Sea. Therefore, the scale of the port near Hiroshima Castle is relatively large, and it is not a problem to transfer a large number of infantry.

As for the port on Shikoku Island, it only needs to be able to dock the wheels and warships.

Soon, Qi Jin led [-] infantry to land from Imabari Port in the northwest of Shikoku Island, and swept across Iyo Country from north to south.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Minping led [-] infantry to land at Marugame Port in the northeast of Shikoku, and went straight to the counties of Sanuki.

Afterwards, Cao Bianjiao led his army to land at Kochi Port in the south of Shikoku Island, directly conquered the Kochi Domain, and marched into Tosa Country.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Zushou landed at Tokushima Port in the east of Shikoku Island, easily defeated the tens of thousands of Tokushima Domain, and pushed directly to Awa Country.

All the forces on the island of Shikoku add up to less than 10 horses, and the army of the [-] Shenji Battalion and the [-] Shenwu Battalion are naturally invincible and invincible.

In a few days, the entire Shikoku Island was taken by the Ming army!
Taichang immediately landed on Shikoku Island in person and inspected it carefully.

To be honest, Shikoku Island is not very rich, at least, not very rich at the moment.

There is not a lot of land on this island, and it seems that it can support several 10 people.

At this moment, there are tens of 10 Japanese civilians on Shikoku Island.

He really didn't expect this question.

How to do it?

He can't just squeeze in a few hundred thousand people, so that Shikoku Island, which can only accommodate a few hundred thousand people, will suddenly increase to a population of more than one million!

If this is the case, Shikoku Island will probably be in chaos.

In the meeting hall on the top floor of the Aegis, Taichang once again threw this question to the generals.

One person counts the short, two counts the long, ten or twenty people discussing together is better than him struggling alone.

Originally, he just wanted to discuss with a group of generals to see if they could come up with a good solution.

Unexpectedly, these people directly helped him solve this problem.

As soon as he raised this question, Cao Wenzhao said cautiously: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is still a lot of cultivated land in Kyushu Island, at least much more than the Shikoku Island. There are probably as many fields as all the arable land on Shikoku Island combined."

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but said with great interest: "Oh, what do you mean, move the Japanese civilians from Shikoku Island to Kyushu Island?"

Cao Wenzhao nodded again and again and said: "The emperor is wise, the general thinks it should be fine."

Taichang asked again: "What do you think?"

Qi Jin immediately echoed: "General Cao is indeed right. There are actually a lot of cultivated land on Kyushu Island. When General Mo attacked the Saga Domain, he also felt that the basin there was quite large, at least compared to Izumo Kingdom. Izumo Plains are much bigger."

Cao Bianjiao also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I also discovered when I was about to attack Ganju County that the basin there is much larger than the so-called Izumo Plain."

Well, Taichang hasn't been to these places yet, so, he didn't expect these.

It seems that there is a lot of cultivated land in Kyushu Island.

According to the statistics of the states of Tang Guofu, the population of Kyushu Island is actually not large at this moment, with a total of more than 100 million.

In other words, the population of Kyushu Island may not have reached saturation yet, and it should not be a problem to squeeze in a few hundred thousand people.

As for whether it can be done, it's simple, just invite Tang Wang Zhu Yujian to ask him.

The next morning, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was pulled over.

After paying respects to the princes and ministers, Taichang directly said: "I want to move all the hundreds of thousands of Dongying civilians from Shikoku Island to Kyushu Island. Do you think there is any problem?"

OK!

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian nodded without hesitation and said: "No problem, no problem, if the emperor wants to move, just move."

He naturally hoped that the more people he ruled, the better, because there are too many ways to get money at the moment, and the more people, the more income!

Taichang immediately asked again: "Is there enough land in Kyushu Island?"

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian still nodded without hesitation: "Enough, enough, Your Majesty, at the moment the total arable land in Kyushu Island is about 420 million mu, and the current population of the island is only about 180 million, according to the emperor's will , Dongying civilians are limited to one mu of arable land per person, so there are still about 240 million mu of arable land in Kyushu Island under the name of Tang Guofu, and these lands are leased to those commoners. "

This guy is really good, at least he has a better understanding of the territory and people under his rule.

As for the limit of one mu of land per person, he was indeed the one who said it, because only in this way can the common people of Japan be motivated!

If there is enough land for each household, and you can pay off your bills and support your family without going out to work, many people will probably not want to go out to work.

This is definitely not possible, so Dongying civilians are limited to one mu of land per person.

In other words, there is no problem at all in relocating civilians from Shikoku Island to Kyushu Island.

In fact, it is quite convenient to relocate civilians from Shikoku Island to Kyushu Island.

Because the fleets of the Dongyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy have to pass through Kyushu Island when they return to Daming to pick up people. At that time, they just need to take the civilians here by the way and drop them on Kyushu Island without any delay.

Taichang and a group of generals made a decree to transfer the [-]th Route vassal king and the [-] garrison guards stationed in Fengyang Mansion after careful consideration.

At this moment, the combined number of ships of the Dongyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy already has thousands of ships. Although there are still so many Aegis ships and Longya warships, the number of Spike warships has increased by [-].

And Dongying civilians and the [-]th Route vassals and their descendants have no property, let alone weapons and equipment, so it is no problem to transfer more than [-] yuan at a time.

As for whether the island of Shikoku can support so many "imperial relatives" or not, that is still the old rule. If you want to eat enough, you can cultivate the land by yourself, and if you want the imperial court to help you, you can drink porridge every day!
After the eighteen princes and their sons and grandchildren were taken over, Taichang simply changed the name of Shikoku Island to Eighteen Princes Mansion.

Of course, this mansion is the mansion of the state capital, not the mansion of the king's mansion, and it can be regarded as a new state capital of Ming Dynasty.
