Chapter 407: Japan's Railway Plan
Students do not have tuition fees for classes, and the school also has to subsidize food, which is not because Wang Yu is kind-hearted, but with bad intentions, he hopes to teach for free by running Confucius Institutes in Japan, and add a clause: with a Confucius Institute graduation certificate, you can be eligible to immigrate to the Americas, or come to Daming to do business, so that after about two generations of education, the children and grandchildren of Japanese will no longer think that they are Japanese, but will regard themselves as Han.
As long as it continues to be assimilated from generation to generation, then the Japanese state will exist in name only, and eventually be incorporated into China.
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi arrived at the Edo Railway Station construction site, where the workers were in full swing and technicians from the Ming Dynasty were guiding the workers in their work.
It is said that the salary level of railway workers is quite high, but because all technical materials and teaching materials are written in Chinese, the first requirement to become a qualified railway worker and recruit workers in the future is to be able to speak Chinese.
Edo Railway Station, the starting point of the Edo railway line from Edo to Kyoto, was personally directed by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi on the construction site.
Three months earlier, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi had just sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty and went to Nanjing to meet Wang Yu, who was serving as a prisoner. In Nanjing, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi discovered one thing: Zhu Honghuan, the current Zhaohan Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was actually a puppet, and the military power of the Ming Dynasty was firmly in the hands of Wang Yu.
At present, Jinyiwei is booming, and it can be said that he is ruthless to readers. Under Wang Yu's call, scholars went abroad one after another to carry forward the Han culture.
Of course, there are some scholars who are unwilling to leave the Ming Dynasty and try to continue to be an official in the country, if you are an honest official and benefit the people, then you are still a good official, but if you are corrupt, take bribes, and collude with profiteers, then I'm sorry, Jinyiwei will come to the door.
Wang Yu reused craftsmen, which made many scholars very dissatisfied, Shinong industry and commerce is a thousand-year-old tradition, craftsmen and scholars who have studied hard for ten years in the same dynasty as officials, is the biggest insult to the scholar class. As a result, the Donglin Party scholars in Nanjing City made trouble, and those scholars, when facing the Manchu butcher's knife, were all soft bones, but when the Ming Dynasty returned to Nanjing, they all became angry young people who dared to smash cars and beat people in later generations.
There were students from Guozijian and students from other places who made trouble many times, and Wang Yu unceremoniously asked Jinyiwei to suppress it.
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was stunned by the scale of Jinyiwei's suppression of the troublesome students: he saw a group of Jinyiwei riding horses and rushing towards the troublesome students, and it was directly the war horses that knocked over the students, knocking them to the ground, and trampling them with horses' hooves. There are also Jinyi guards who pulled out embroidered spring knives and rode on horses to slash and kill students.
About fifteen minutes later, a massacre finally ended, and all the remaining students who were still alive were twisted by Jinyiwei and sent to the prison car.
"Those who hid behind in the first place were lucky to get their lives back." Tokugawa Tsunayoshi sighed.
Chen Mang, who was standing on the side, said coldly: "Those who are caught in are the most unlucky!" In comparison, those who died were more fortunate! Those who did not die entered the Zhao Prison of Jinyiwei, then life is better than death! And those who go to Zhao Prison will not be able to come out alive! They will suffer more before they die! ”
"That's too ruthless, isn't it?" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi gasped.
"The first emperor was killed by these sanctimonious, human-faced and beast-hearted scholars! If I don't suppress it today, this Ming Dynasty will become like before, the common people will revolt, the profiteers will collaborate with the enemy, maybe those profiteers will sell even our core secrets to foreigners for their own interests! Wang Yu said angrily, but he added, "Of course, sending these scholars outside to teach Chinese culture and let people from more countries learn Chinese is also considered waste utilization." ”
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi lived in Daming for a while, and he found that the current Daming is thriving and is in a stage of rapid development, especially the railway line, he took the train from Shanghai to Nanjing, it only took six hours, and the feeling of the train running on the railway line made Tokugawa Tsunayoshi feel that Japan also wanted to build a railway.
Wang Yu directly spent all the planning plans of the Japanese railway: "First, build a railway from Edo to Kyoto, and the second step is to extend the north and south of this railway, and extend to the opposite bank of Ezo Island in the north; Extending to the south to the other side of Kyushu Island, the third step is to build an island-wide railway line to the west of Honshu Island, so that a ring railway line around Honshu Island will be formed, and between the two railway lines, some narrow-gauge branch railways can be built. ”
All railways in Japan were built with loans from the three major banks, Dameito Bank, Nanyang Bank, and Gangnam Bank, and the mortgage of the loans was the right to operate the railways to these three banks.
In addition, the Nanyang Railway Company, which was responsible for the construction of the railway, also had the right to build castles along the railway line, station guards, and mine minerals along the railway line.
The right of way belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and the areas on both sides of the railway line actually became the concession of the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of treaty was obviously an unequal treaty, but the Japanese had no way at all, and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi could only sign this treaty with Wang Yu.
The establishment of schools and railways in Japan would also gradually weaken the position of the Japanese emperor. Emperor Lingyuan was naturally extremely dissatisfied with these unequal treaties signed between the Edo shogunate and the Ming Dynasty.
The rest of the shogunate, under the covert control of Emperor Reimoto, was also extremely dissatisfied with the Tokugawa shogunate, and at this time Emperor Reigen and the other shogunates, especially the Satsuma clan, tried to carry out a massive campaign to bring down the shogunate.
However, the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty is not a vegetarian, and the actions of Emperor Lingyuan and the other shogunates have long been clearly understood by the Jinyiwei.
"Father, the feudal clans led by the Satsuma clan are trying to rebel, so we should decisively start a war with them! We have the most advanced weapons, and we are afraid that they will not succeed? The Tokugawa family advised his father, who was hesitant.
Today's Tokugawa shogunate army has completed a comprehensive reload, and the infantry is all equipped with mini bullet rifled guns, although these mini bullet rifled guns are still front-loading guns, but the firing method has been changed from the original flint to the fire cap fire, which can greatly reduce the rate of dumb fire. The original flintlock machine has a high rate of dumb fire, and when you pull the trigger, it is likely that you will not be able to ignite the primer. Switching to a fire cap type of ignition ensures that the trigger is pulled to fire a bullet.
The Tokugawa cavalry was equipped with breech-loading rifles, and the artillery was replaced with new artillery, equipped with new flowering shells, and even a small number of rear-loading guns.
And the other shogunate armies, most of them still use cold weapons, the few firearms are still old-fashioned arquebuses, and the number of artillery is even more pitiful, the Hongyi cannon that has been eliminated by the Ming Dynasty is called the collapse of the country in their eyes.
So Tokugawa Ienobu could see at a glance that the other shogunate armies were against the Kamitokugawa shogunate army, and it would be a one-sided massacre of them by the Tokugawa shogunate!
