Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 283 Chapter 283: You haven’t conquered it yet, and you’re thinking of relocating the people?

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Yue was a little bit dumbfounded. The old man must have been a little impatient, right?

Zhu Xifeng had just set out for the expedition, and he had not yet arrived in Japan. How long would it take to think about how long it would take to defeat Japan?

"The specifics will depend on Japan's combat strength and Feng'er's methods!"

"But in my estimation, if it's as fast as three months, if it's as slow as half a year, we should be able to capture the entire Japan!"

Zhu Yue thought for a while and gave Zhu Yuanzhang an approximate time.

"In other words, the time given to us is only a few months!"

"Should we consider emigrating to Japan?"

“Be prepared in advance so that you don’t have to be in a hurry later!”

Zhu Yuanzhang suggested seriously.

Moreover, this time the immigration is still to a place like Japan, and you have to cross the sea to reach it, so there will definitely be more people who resist!
Some people may still think that immigrating to Japan is equivalent to distributing them all!
"What did you think about it?"

"Do you think adding a few more policies can attract people to migrate to Japan?"

But it only takes a few months, so it’s not impossible to prepare in advance. After all, the Han people’s thinking is still very traditional, and they are all about returning to their roots after fallen leaves. Few people are willing to leave the habitat where their ancestors have lived for generations!

"If we want people to be willing to take the initiative to migrate to Japan, just exempting taxes for five years is not enough!"

"As long as it can impress the people, I believe there will still be many people willing to go to Japan!"

"If Japan can implement free education, it will be the best opportunity for those people who want their children and grandchildren to have a chance to succeed!"

In some respects, these policies are not much better than those in most areas of Ming Dynasty!
"Well, that's a good suggestion!"

This old man, Japan hasn't even been conquered yet, and he's already thinking about immigration!
How anxious is this?

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and told him his plan.

"Also, we can exempt them from the court taxes in Japan for five years. Do you think this is feasible?"

"We know this, shouldn't we just discuss it with you again?"

"Today, only the northwest can enjoy free education. Other regions only have such a policy in some large towns, and it has not been extended to the entire Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Li thought for a while and directly added several policy measures that were closely related to people's lives.

Hearing this, Zhu Li shook his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang said noncommittally.

Hearing this, Zhu Li felt dumbfounded again.

"Each household can be given five acres of fertile land, and the imperial court will provide them with funding to subsidize the cost of house construction!"

"On this basis, we will exempt them from taxes within five years, and at the same time build some schools so that children can receive free education from the imperial court!"

"In this case, it may be possible to attract many people to migrate to Japan!"

Zhu Yue did not rush to answer, but asked instead.

"We just thought that it would be best if the people could actively request to immigrate to Japan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with deep understanding.

With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, there is not much pressure to implement free basic education, and it will only be free of charge, that is, tuition fees.

In other words, the imperial court is not responsible for the students' living expenses, but is only responsible for the establishment of the school and the fees for the teachers.

For this part of the money, local government finances have special taxation departments to support it, and there is no need to go through the court!
The imperial court only needs to make statistics based on the financial data reported by the various states.

Of course, these policies are still in the early stages of adjustment. When basic education becomes free throughout the Ming Dynasty, funding for education will be allocated exclusively from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The main reason is that schools are being built and teachers are being recruited all over the country. It is impossible for the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Household Affairs to review the funding. We can only temporarily let the local government offices do these tasks first and then report them. This is the most effective way. Efficient way.

But it is undeniable that there will be some problems with this approach, especially corruption.

However, this is also a problem that must be faced in the early stage. After the game is fully unfolded, we will slowly solve and deal with it. In the end, the entire system will become more perfect and the problems that arise will be solved!

"But if each household is given an additional five acres of fertile land, can it be allocated in Japan where there is so much fertile land?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again hesitantly.

"Japan and North Korea are different!"

"North Korea has a large population, but they are basically weak. It only takes one or two generations at most. It is very easy to Chineseize them!"

"But Japan is different. These people are so ambitious. If they can't be crippled with a stick, they will definitely think about restoring their country and making a comeback!"

"Furthermore, Japanese culture has always advocated the spirit of Bushido. As long as there is a war, they will definitely resist to the death!"

"When the time comes, most of the men on the battlefield will die, and the freed fields will only be a lot more. There is no need to worry about not being enough for the common people!"

Zhu Yue shook her head disapprovingly.

He knew that after Zhu Xifeng went to Japan, he would definitely turn Japan into a minority province. Hundreds of thousands of Han people would migrate there and carve up the fields that originally belonged to millions of people. That would definitely be enough!

"Well, what you said makes sense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with deep understanding.

He is not a good man and a believer in women, and he will not be soft-hearted towards Japanese people. If you are not of my race, your mind must be different!

During the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms period, more than millions of Han people were reduced to two-legged sheep in the Central Plains?
The number of dead people is counted in millions or even tens of millions!

Since Japan is so ambitious and dares to repeatedly harass the Ming Dynasty and kill its people, it should be prepared to pay the price for it!
There is no one to blame for the destruction of the country, they can only blame themselves!
"Where do you think it is more appropriate to move people to Japan?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a change of subject.

"It is most suitable for people to migrate to Japan from coastal areas such as Hebei, Shandong, Zhejiang and Fujian."

"First of all, these areas are offshore and can easily adapt to Japan's climate environment and living habits. These people in the inland have never even seen a larger river in their lives. It is really difficult for them to go to the sea to Japan!"

"Secondly, it will be much easier for people in coastal areas to migrate! We have so many steam engines and warships that can transport hundreds of thousands or even millions of people to Japan. It only takes a few more trips and the time is faster!"

Zhu Li simply stated his thoughts.

Even if there were one million people, evenly divided among the coastal provinces, there would only be less than 200,000 people in one province at most, which could easily be gathered together!
"Well, it is indeed easier for the people in coastal areas to adapt to the living environment in Japan. It is indeed the most suitable choice for the people here to migrate there!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with deep understanding.

If you were an inland common person, you would never have seen what a typhoon looks like in your life. If you were to encounter that kind of weather, you probably wouldn’t even know how to deal with it!
It seems that relocating people is not so casual, and there are many aspects to consider!
But for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue, this is not a problem!
In the early stage, about one million Han people migrated to Japan, and in the later stage, the number could slowly increase every ten or twenty years.

Anyway, if you want to turn Japan into a minority province of the Ming Dynasty, you must at least ensure that the proportion of Han people is around 70-80%!
Of course, the migration of millions of people is temporarily impossible for the Ming Dynasty. One million is already as high as the sky!

So you have to do it in batches and slowly!

And as long as the early batch of Han people are the first to eat crabs, after they really take root in Japan, other Han people will also know the benefits of migrating to Japan, and maybe there will be a wave of people following the trend of migrating to Japan. !
Of course, this is all for the future!
……

The next day.

The setting sun reflected on the rippling blue sea, and the outline of the land was faintly visible in the distance.

Zhu Xifeng, Lan Yu and other generals stood on the deck and looked far into the distance, with unstoppable smiles in their eyes!
"Anyway, sitting on this steam engine boat is much more comfortable than riding on the original wooden boat! We used to have a bit of seasickness, but now it's gone!"

Feng Sheng on the side was still filled with emotion!

This steam engine ship is not only fast, but more importantly, it is stable. It will not speed up and slow down at times, or sway left and right when hit by a wave!

After all, a large amount of steel structure has been added, and the tonnage of the entire ship is larger than that of a wooden ship, so it is naturally more stable!

Moreover, the warships Feng Sheng took in previous battles were, to put it bluntly, small boats on inland rivers. Stability was not a concept at all compared to these big guys.

They say he doesn't get seasick, but in fact if he is put on a small boat, he will still get seasick!

"North Korea should be ahead, but I didn't expect it to be here so soon!"

Lan Yu couldn't help but smile on her face. She didn't know why, but when she thought about attacking Japan soon, she felt her blood boiling in her bones!
Zhu Xifeng naturally has this feeling, but he is relatively restrained and does not show it so obviously!

After all, he is the commander-in-chief, so he has to behave calmly, right?
Not long after, Zhu Xifeng's fleet successfully stopped in the temporary naval port built by North Korea.

The important thing in war is to move forward before the soldiers and horses use food and grass, but what is more critical than food and grass is actually intelligence!

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger!
So during this period, even though the Navy has been stationed here, it's not like they haven't done anything!

The imperial court has secretly dispatched many spies to sneak into Japan. At the same time, several warships from the navy will wander across the strait from time to time, mainly to explore the defense situation on the west coast of Japan!
So as soon as Zhu Xia Feng and Lan Yu arrived, they already had ready-made information sent directly to Zhu Xia Feng's hands!
Just a few days ago, many ships suddenly appeared on the west coast of Japan. However, compared to the large-tonnage warships on the Ming Dynasty, the ships on the Japanese side were small and pitiful!

According to the reports from the warships and the reconnaissance ships, Japan has also assembled nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses. They are stationed along the line from Saga to Fukuoka to set up defenses and confront the Ming Dynasty's navy across the sea!

It's just that the Japanese side is obviously not as wealthy as the Ming Dynasty. It can't bring out such a huge fleet to fight, and can only defend the coastline!
Unless the Japanese side can't think of it, they won't have the guts to confront the Ming Dynasty Navy head-on at sea!

In other words, Ming Dynasty only needs to carry out landing operations, and there is no need to worry or consider the possibility of naval battles!
After all, if you want to have a naval battle, you also need a ship capable of fighting!
The small Kalami warships of Japan had no advantage at all against the behemoths of the Ming army. It was no different than giving away their heads!

Not to mention that there were so many artillery pieces on the Ming Dynasty warships, even if the artillery was not used, just a collision could knock all these Japanese ships apart!

The few warships that went for reconnaissance encountered dozens of small Japanese ships, and they seemed to want to use their numerical advantage to deal with the Ming warships.

But soon, the Ming warships taught them a vivid lesson. The Japanese warships that went to besiege these Ming warships were all damaged at sea, and none of them could go home!

So the Japanese side decisively gave up the naval battle and retreated directly back to the coastline to defend it to the death!
After reading the available information, a sneer appeared on Zhu Xifeng's face.

"A mere Japanese dares to hit an egg against a stone!"

"I'm afraid you don't know how to write the word "death"?"

"Mr. Liang Guo, I will allocate an army of 50,000 to you. You will take a detour overnight and rush to the waters of Kagoshima to join Zheng He's 100,000 navy and hand over to Zheng He the attack plan we made before..."

"Forget it, you don't have to come back, just land from Kagoshima with Zheng He."

"I will lead the remaining 150,000 troops to land from Saga. We will attack the entire Kyushu Island from the west and south, and strive to control the entire Kyushu Island within three days!"

Soon, Zhu Xifeng issued the deployment order.

"I will obey the order, but the commander needs to pay attention to the fact that the opponent will attack with fire!"

"The intelligence mentioned that the Japanese ships carried a large number of haystacks. They are obviously prepared for this!"

"Their ships are small, so they may not have the guts to confront us head-on at sea, but after our fleet lands, they will be easily attacked by fire from the other side!"

Lan Yu naturally had no objection to this, and while bowing to accept the order, she also reminded him with some worry.

"It's nothing more than some clever tricks!"

"Even if we land, we will only use small boats. The big ships will all stay at sea. If you dare to play any tricks, we will just bombard them!"

When Zhu Xifeng heard this, he sneered disapprovingly.
