Prime Minister Bizen

After Kato Kiyomasa was sent away, Hanabou Masayuki began to deploy the army again.

According to Xiujia's plan, he needs to be responsible for the suppression work in South Hamgyong Province.

Although the major cities along the coast of Hamgyong Road are already under the control of the Xiu family, the Korean flags are still flying in the cities of Jiangjie, Cicheng, Yurui, Sanshui, and Jiashan on the Gaema plateau.

Historically, volunteer soldiers from Hamgyong-do rose up from here, and clashed with the Japanese army and Koreans who resisted the imperial court in Hamgyong-do.

Jingcheng is the symbol city of Hamgyong-do, and one of the names of Hamgyong-do is taken from here.The loss of Jingcheng marked the breaking of the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army.

After the news of the victory of the righteous army Jingcheng came out, the anti-Japanese fighters from North Hamgyong Province continued to come to Jingcheng to join Zheng Wenfu's team, including Jin Sizhu, a warrior of Zhongcheng, Wu Pu from Jingcheng, and Zheng Jianlong, envoy of Zhongcheng Mansion, Wu Yingtai, envoy of Qingyuan Mansion and others.

The base of the anti-Japanese army, Yijingcheng, continued to grow and develop. In addition, Yi sun-shin's navy blocked the logistics of the Japanese army at that time, making it difficult for the Japanese army to supply supplies, so Naoshige Nabeshima had to collect food on the spot.

However, the proportion of Naoshima Naoshige and others collecting grain on the spot was as high as 6%. At that time, the Korean court’s minimum nominal tax was only 2%, and the rest were collected in the form of various miscellaneous taxes in money.

This is the difference between Japan and North Korea's local taxation habits, but under the propaganda of those interested, this is evidence that the Japanese army is more black-hearted than North Korea.

You have to know that the people who welcomed the Japanese army before were all low-level people, and those who participated in the anti-Japanese war were all "sighted people" who had passed through the Joseon Dynasty.

The arrival of the Japanese army looted their land and finances, so that they could not be the "two classes of masters" who read sage books in a high position. However, they feel that the culture is still in their stomachs after reading the books for so many years. How can they grasp the high ground of public opinion? What they are good at.

Therefore, in a short period of time, Hamgyong-do has become a pioneer area of ​​Japan's anti-Japanese war from the "Ni Cave" in the mouth of the Joseon King Li Yan.

After Kato Kiyomasa and Nabeshima Naoshige fought with the rebels in the "Battle of Mt. Changtoku", "Battle of Shuangpu", and "Battle of Jizhou", the Second Army suffered heavy losses. Kato Kiyomasa did not dare to leave the city easily. Finally, the volunteer soldiers under the command of Zheng Wenfu were surrounded in Xianxing and Jizhou.

The Hide family will certainly not make the mistake of Kato Kiyomasa in history. In fact, although the land tax in North Korea and Ming Dynasty is not high in name, they need farmers to sell rice to landlords at a discount in exchange for money to pay population tax, anti-Tarist tax, Various miscellaneous taxes such as the Anti-Japanese Tax, Ice Respect, and Carbon Respect, actually cost 7% of the tax cost, and the bulk of the profits were actually taken by the landlords everywhere when they discounted the money.

In the area under the rule of the Xiu family, all the people no longer have to pay various miscellaneous taxes, and the farmers directly offset the tax with the land tax, and the tax is 5% for me.

Vendors and handicraftsmen directly collect taxes on the goods they sell. When they enter the market every day to set up a stall, they go to Fengxing to get a card that records the type and quantity of the goods. When they take the goods away at night, they check that the tax is 1 become.

For the big merchants, they are all local nobles. Most of them either ran away or were cut off when the Japanese army came. The remaining ones pay taxes on a monthly basis based on the past sales of goods, and the tax is 1%. 5.

If a farmer wants to sell agricultural products, he only needs to pay 1% of the tax when he comes to the market.

This level of taxation is much lower than that collected by the North Korean government in the past.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the situation in history, the North Korean people were confused and coerced by a small number of "sighted people".

The Xiu family had clearly informed them before Huafang Zhengxing left that they were asked to set up Chinese and Japanese wooden signs at the entrances of each village and city, and to find soldiers who could speak Korean and bring Koreans who were willing to submit to each village to beat gongs and drums Claim your benevolence.

Xiujia, who has experienced information and cognitive operations at home and abroad in the future, naturally knows how to occupy the highest point of public opinion, that is, to infinitely magnify his own advantages and hide his own problems.

A great man once said, "If you don't occupy the high ground of information dissemination, someone will naturally occupy it."

Because many people in North Korea could not read, he specially asked Hanfang Zhengxing to make several patterns, namely, the head of a tartar with money rat braids on the gold ingot, and the pattern of a Japanese head on the gold ingot. The gold ingots with these patterns are all marked with [×] in bright vermilion, which means that they will never pay these miscellaneous taxes on silver in the future.

In addition, there are various taxes such as ice respect, carbon respect, master's money, etc., all of which are painted on wooden signs and preached from door to door in a village.

North Korean people are actually very clear that their biggest expenditure is these miscellaneous taxes, and the real talent is less than 2%. A lot of costs are taken away by the government lords because of paying these taxes, or by their lords when they convert silver .

Therefore, what they hate the most is these miscellaneous taxes. When someone declares that they will no longer be called miscellaneous taxes, even if the talent is increased to 5%, their survival cost will still increase a lot.

Of course, most of the Korean people in this era don’t know how to do arithmetic, and they don’t know the difference between the single tax of 5% and the comprehensive tax of 5 cities, and they will send people to preach to them.

In short, absolutely do not give some ill-intentioned intellectuals any room for manipulation.

And Xiujia said that craftsmen will be reused. Anyone with a skill can be recruited into the workshop to specialize in the work provided by the government, and the wages will be settled according to the output. The more you do, the more you will be paid.

At the same time, it announced that the immigration policy of Ezo, Kanto, and Vladivostok includes giving all immigrants a piece of land. Kanto has at least 8 anti-lands, Vladivostok has a maximum of 15 anti-lands, and Ezo has 12 anti-lands, and these lands need to be developed.

But correspondingly, each person will be given 5 kanwen of housing money, and children will be given 2 more kanwen, and the ferry ticket for their migration to these places, the house after landing, farm tools and livestock will all be provided by Xiujia.

North Korea and Ming Dynasty have never heard of such favorable conditions for immigrants to settle in the border for 200 years.

These North Korean people will not know what the place is Ezo, Vladivostok or Kanto, let alone that they are immigrating to Japan.

For them, the upper court in the literati is so far away, the master who usually disciplined them was driven away, and now Fengchun's family, which is flying the banner of gentian Wuqitong pattern, is their new master.

The master gave himself generous conditions to allow himself to immigrate. They don't understand what is immigrating or not. Anyway, the people of Hamgyong Road were driven away decades ago and migrated to the village from other places.

Now it is the new Japanese master who spends money to let himself stock up on the new frontier. The North Korean master used a whip to drive him here decades ago. When he gets here, he has to develop the house and fields by himself. Now this Japanese master , not only prepared everything for himself, but also got security money, so naturally there would be no complaints.

Naoshige Nabeshima initially planned to collect 7% of the tax, but seeing that the Hide family only collected 5% across the river, he could only lower this ratio by pressing his nose.

Of course, he didn't have the awareness of the Xiu family, he didn't publicize his virtuous government like the Xiu family, and he didn't realize that compared with the suppression by force, the Xiu family's move was the real bottom line, killing people with soft knives.

As long as it can rule for 10 years, Hamgyong Dobi will no longer be owned by North Korea.

In addition to the work of cultivating internal morality, Huafang Zhengxing followed the order of the Xiu family to sweep and suppress the towns and villages on the Gaema Plateau in the north of Hamgyong Province, trying to suppress the resistance as much as possible.

According to the memory of Xiujia's previous life and the intelligence of the people in Hamgyong-do, Zheng Wenfu, Jin Sizhu, Wu Pu, Zheng Jianlong, and Wu Yingtai.Cheng Yunwen, Li Weiyi and others were all listed on the arrest list.

People who provide clues will be given tax exemption for 5 years and a one-time reward of 10 gold beads. For the people and villages who are directly arrested and handed over to the government, they will be given tax exemption for 10 years and a one-time reward of 100 gold beads.

Each golden bead is as big as a thumb, which is definitely a great fortune.

Referring to the policies of the Xiu family, Toyotomi Xiuzhen is also in charge of the government in Gangwon Province, but because he does not have the financial resources of the Xiu family, he is not so powerful in giving subsidies, but he has given more policy rewards.

Leaving aside the people of Gangwon Province, the people of Hamgyong Province are very simple, otherwise they would not welcome the Japanese army who attacked their own court, and would take the initiative to join the raid on the cities of Hamgyong Province.

During this period of time, the expansion of the servant army managed by Nobushige Sanada brought the total number to 1.5. After preliminary training, they were able to stab with long spears proficiently, and then they wore belly rolls and ashigaru pills and were stationed in various places.

He even sent part of the Japanese army and servants to station in the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River in the past, and asked the Korean court to shoulder the responsibility of monitoring the Jurchen tribe on the other side.

The Xiu family’s policy has achieved initial results in the area ruled by the Fengchun family. Hanabang Masanari commanded 500 Japanese troops and 2000 servants. — Yin Zhuoran, inspector of Hamgyong Road.

Unlike Hamgyong-do, which was relatively calm under the rule of Hanabang Masako and others, the 6 provinces of North Korea under the rule of several other legions all experienced disturbances of varying degrees.

Although the Japanese army started to arrange the "Eight Ways of the Kingdom" plan in advance this time, his group of barbarians who only knew war could no longer hold back their hands and feet after they came to this foreign country.

They didn't regard this land as the land that Guan Bai would rule in the future at all, and they didn't regard the people on this land as their future compatriots.

Anyway, my samurai lord, the lord of the samurai lord, and the lord of the samurai lord let us attack the city, so we just grab it.

After all, even in Japan, they have never been soft on the people of other families, even if they are of the same Yamato nationality. Have they ever stopped arresting, looting, burning and killing?
If you are so ruthless to your own people, why should you be polite to these "two-legged sheep" who speak foreign languages?

From the perspective of latecomers in history, although the timing of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea was not the best, it was considered good.

But if he had formulated a clear appeasement policy from the beginning, it might not have caused such a huge civil upheaval. After all, the Korean people under the leadership of the Korean court may not necessarily live better than the Japanese people.

But his biggest mistake is no longer here. The biggest mistake is that since he didn't stop the butcher knife at the beginning, he has already offended the Korean people a lot. Let them find out that you Japanese soldiers are not as good as the Korean court, so they should continue to implement it. .

However, when the North Korean people already had great hatred for the Japanese army, he also dispatched Ishida Mitsunari and others to restrain the generals of all parties.

Even if scattered Japanese troops were killed, Ishida Mitsunari did not allow the daimyo to go out to take revenge, and wanted to influence these people with benevolent government.

If Ishida Mitsunari hadn't been so naive in the early days of the outbreak of the rebellion, and the Japanese army suppressed it with thunderous means, maybe the rebels would not be so fierce.

Later, the daimyo headed by Kato Kiyomasa discovered this problem, no matter how Ishida Mitsunari protested, and even threatened to sue Hideyoshi, they decided to use force to suppress the rebels.

Righteous soldiers, righteous soldiers, to put it bluntly, took away their weapons and looked no different from ordinary people in terms of their attire.

If you don't suppress them, they will become more and more violent. Once you suppress them, Ishida Mitsunari will sue Hideyoshi for oppressing the Korean people and causing civil unrest.

Of course, this is not to say that Kato Kiyomasa and others did the right thing. They were deadly when they suppressed them. They not only suppressed the volunteers, but also suppressed the villages and civilians who helped the volunteers.

In a sense, Ishida Mitsunari is not wrong to sue them for oppressing and killing North Korean civilians. They did kill many common people who helped volunteers.

But in that situation, it is impossible to use benevolence and righteousness to ease the effect. The volunteers have already divided several Japanese groups, and if they do nothing or die, who can control so much?

From the standpoint of Kato Kiyomasa and others, I have done nothing wrong. I risked my life for Guan Bai's world. You, a guy who can only sit in the back and talk about benevolence, morality and false compassion, why should you sue us?Do you know the real situation on our front line?
But from Ishida Mitsunari's point of view, you group of muscular and brainless warriors know how to kill, kill, kill, and now so many volunteers are the hatred that you have killed in front of you. How do you understand the distress we have in governing the territory?

This was the biggest conflict between the later Arbitrary faction and Ishida Mitsunari, which eventually caused the Osaka riots after Hideyoshi's death.

And this life Hideyoshi once again had the same problem. When the daimyos in various places were sweeping and liquidating all the ways, Hideyoshi issued multiple imperial orders in succession. Harass the people at will.

In the end, Asano Nagamasa, Ishida Mitsunari and others were even sent to Wangjing, just to supervise whether the commanders of each army strictly implemented the order.

Unlike the turmoil of the righteous soldiers in North Korea, the North Korean court was extremely ambiguous about inviting Ming to fight in Japan.

In the early days when Governor Konishi and others landed in North Korea, although North Korea knew very well that the real target of the Japanese army was himself and the daimyo, they still sent a meaningless message to the daimyo.

It said: The Japanese pirates made a lot of noise in Busan, and nothing else was said.The subtext is: small meaning, I handle it myself, and don't bother my brother.

As a result, after Xiaoxi Xingzhang and others made great strides all the way, and Li Yan and others abandoned Wangjing and retreated to Pyongyang, a Ming merchant from North Korea brought the matter back to Tong Yangzheng (female), the deputy commander of Kuandianbao who was closest to North Korea. real people).

He sent someone to ask Yizhou official Huang Jin about the situation, and offered to go to the court and give some support.

But Huang Jin coldly refused, "My king has 20 armor, so there is no need to bother the Celestial Dynasty."

In fact, when Li Yan escaped from Wang Jing, Liu Chenglong suggested that he seek help from Daming. He did send someone or quickly inform Daming.

However, some North Korean ministers believed that even if the Ming Dynasty sent troops, they would definitely send people from Liaodong and Guangning.

At present, 8 of the 5 provinces in North Korea have fallen and been ravaged by Japanese pirates. If the Ming army comes to North Korea, will the remaining 3 provinces also be ravaged by them?If that's the case, where can we wait for the North Korean monarchs and ministers to stand up? —— "Reconstructing Fandom Chronicles"

It has to be said that these North Korean officials have a relatively thorough view of the quality of soldiers in the Ming army.

However, it was not this reason that really made Li Yan chase the messenger back, but someone advised Li Yan that "now that more than half of the country has been lost, after the Ming army enters North Korea, it is bound to counterattack based on the remaining three.

At that time, the military power of the three forces will be in the hands of Ming, and the main force to take back the five forces will be the Ming army, so what is the meaning of your existence?
At that time, the Eighth Routes of Korea will be under the power of the Ming Dynasty. You need to know that it is easier to ask the gods than to give them away. I am afraid that by then you will be recalled to Beijing and become a rich man. "

But right now Li Yan has been driven to Uiju, and he has reached the point where there is no way to retreat. Even Yang Shaoxun, the commander-in-chief of Guangning Town, already knows that the king of Joseon has lost most of his land, and now he is taking refuge in Uiju, only one step away. It is time to avoid the news of the Central Plains.

There are a lot of things at the end of the year, next Monday and next Tuesday will stop updating for 2 days, depending on the situation, it may stop updating for 3 days.
