Chapter 581 Prestige
Iwami Mansion, Yamabuki Castle.

Hachiro sat on the wooden board of the rain corridor like a lord of the Warring States Period, listening to the reports of officials from all over the country to the three prefectures of Ishimi, Izumo, and Aki, and asked, "Can't the output of Yinshan be more?"

The Yinshan Ambassador of Iwami used to be the main craftsman under the guidance of the Mori family in Yinshan. Now he has transferred to Hachiro and was appointed as the Ninth Grade Yinshan Ambassador. He is one of the four genuine Ninth Grades in Iwami, so he is very grateful to Chen Bazhi , Hearing his question, still leaned down according to the past habit, kowtowed and said: "It is not difficult to separate silver and lead by ash blowing. The difficulty is that the mine lacks manpower, and it is difficult to dig out more silver mines."

Chen Bazhi nodded slightly, said a few words of encouragement to Ambassador Yinshan, waved him to go down, and then called several county magistrates around one after another, ordering to go down and encourage farmers to grow rice.

After the political affairs were dealt with, he continued to summon the princes from all over the country. His Western policy outside the three prefectures directly under the Central Government was basically the same as Japan's previous concept. Military officers vary in rank, and the three prefects with the highest civil officials are Jinshi sent by the imperial court, and the county magistrates of the three prefectures are civil servants who have been promoted from across the sea from Nanyang.

Even if such a small number of cultural and political talents were sent here, Chen Bazhi still felt that it was a bit redundant... This place can't be called governance at all. The degree of autonomy in various places is stronger than that of Daming Township. A few miles away is another set of laws and regulations, coupled with frequent wars, there is no such thing as the situation that people think about.

Because this is not a short-lived calamity of 30 or [-] years. It has been more than a hundred years since the Yingren Rebellion. Four or five generations have passed.
The only way out is to rule the world by force.

After handling the political affairs, Chen Bazhi rode on a healthy horse and led his entourage along the way to listen to the messengers sent by Li Ruzhang and Li Rubai from Anyi and Izumo to inform them of the situation there.Now Li Ruzhang is the head of the Anyi Mansion Army, and Li Rubai is the head of the Izumo Mansion Army. They led their respective thousands of households to settle in Zhucheng earlier, and got the order from Chen Bazhi to control the place, so they became city lords there.

Like Chen Bazhi in Shijian Mansion.

The three of them now have a group of local warriors in their hands, and they are evenly matched in terms of military strength. The two sons of the Li family in Liaodong are all armed with the army, and Chen Bazhi controls Yinqi Island in addition to Izumo.

Especially the six Ding Liujia battleships he docked at the new ship repair port called Chenshi Port in the north of Yamabuki City, they are really huge gunships that can shake the world if you take them out at random.

"General, a letter from Captain Xingsheng from Bozhou Prefecture."

Hakushu Prefecture is the former Hoki Kingdom to the east of Izumo. Now Nizi Katsuhisa is named General of Hakuzhou, and his subordinate Yamanaka Shikasuke is named Captain of Zhongmu, Kume County, Hakushu Prefecture. His letter is for nothing else. I want to ask Chen Bazhi why there is no rebellion in the land of the three prefectures, but the other prefectures entrusted by the Ming Dynasty have to deal with the endless rebellion of the Chinese people.

Chen Bazhi put the letter away after reading it, and wrote a reply later, he wanted to see his banner army.

In Shanbuki City, the city was rebuilt after the war. On weekdays, only [-] banner troops were stationed in the city, and a large number of soldiers lived under the city. They built two camps in the place where they once captured the city and fought. Guarding a large field, the guard is Wang Rulong, who also shoulders the duty of training soldiers.

On the side of the school field under the castle, several vast academies were built next to the castle town, each of which has two local samurai as instructors, and under the decree of the lord Chen Bazhi, all children in the four counties of Iwami Prefecture can enter Studying in the academy, those warriors who surrendered had literary talents and learned Chinese and then taught it to the teenagers, and those who had martial courage taught martial arts to the children.

All the children of the common people are eligible to enter the school, including those children who are displaced and can only become bandits. All of them can learn to read and practice martial arts here, and learn how to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

Some adults who lack the ability to make a living will also go to school, but after they have basic literacy and can recite the Banner Army manual proficiently, they will leave the academy and go to the barracks opposite the academy to get their own set of ashigaru armor, and then start new training. among.

Of course, at this stage, there is actually no Japanese king who canonized by Wanli in Japan at this stage. The king defended by Oda Nobunaga must be dead. Wake up, he is still looking for new candidates.

In fact, Chen Bazhi had no intention of canonizing the king of Japan at all according to the intention of the court. In his eyes, the canonization is equivalent to using the bait of generals from all over the world. , can make them invincible.

After meeting with the children studying in various academies, and watching his adopted son's spear learning, Chen Bazhi went to the school grounds of the camp.

His adopted son used to have no surname, his name was Xiaogou, he was a little pirate picked up by Chen Bazhi on Yinqi Island, he had never seen his parents since he could remember, and naturally he didn’t know how old he was, wandering around Yinqi Island with pirates Living together, small and pitiful, he attracted Chen Bazhi's attention because of his walking posture.

It seems that he is only eleven or twelve years old, and he follows the older pirate dolls, crossing his shoulders when he walks, trying his best to make his shoulders appear wider so as to have a deterrent effect that does not exist, but in reality There is no deterrent effect at all, it will only make people feel extremely funny.

Because of this, the little dog became Wei Quan, from a bullied little pirate to the son of General Ming.

Although both the son and the father are too young, this is already a tradition after all, and the flag soldiers who have traveled far to Japan can readily accept this situation.

"Zhishan Zhonglujie wrote a letter, asking me why no one in the three prefectures rebelled."

Chen Bazhi held a Nanyang-made matchlock bird gun and carefully looked at the inscription on the gun body. After seeing the year of manufacture, he skillfully loaded the gun. He tilted his neck slightly to aim and buckled the tap rod. After a loud noise, he threw the bird gun to the flag. Jun, turned to Wang Rulong and asked, "How should I reply?"

"Why didn't the people of the three prefectures rebel? Good question!"

The weather-beaten Wang Rulong, who frowned and showed three raised forehead lines, stood aside and leaned on his sword, thinking hard, but he didn't know why after thinking for a long time. At the beginning of breaking through Shanbuki City, he made a detailed plan for Chen Bazhi, at least It took three large-scale suppressions and rebellions to rule here. As a result, except for a few samurai rebellions, all other wars were fought outside the territory.

He squinted his eyes and said without confidence: "I am the Son of Heaven with prestige overseas, and the people of the three prefectures are looking forward to it?"

Chen Bazhi pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Then I'll do it this way. If he is willing to persuade Nizi to hand over Bozhou to me, I can also prevent the rebellion there."

Who made you five public and five people?
