Chapter 739: Great Song Jubilation
At the same time, craftsmen from the Southern Song Dynasty had entered Japan's newly discovered mines in large numbers and began to smelt gold and silver using the latest mining methods. In addition, in the hundreds of places identified by Cheng Yue, factories and shipyards are intensively preparing, and dozens of new-style schools have also appeared in various places, and the people in charge of lecturing are all people transferred by Cheng Yue from the Southern Song Dynasty.www.biquge.info
The impoverished Japanese people were summoned to factories in almost unlimited quantities, and the construction of new towns required a large number of laborers, and the repair and widening of roads in various places required even more people. After the war, Japan was not in ruin, but flourished.
Merchants from various industries in the Southern Song Dynasty flocked to the ship, and large sums of money and all kinds of new things came with the ships. Japanese people have mixed feelings, but they also have more expectations for changes in their lives.
Five days after the death of Minoru Dongyuan, Tuhuan led the generals of the Lu clan from Shikoku to Kyoto and handed over orders to Cheng Yue. The four countries, which were empty of troops, were easily pacified, and the Song and Yuan coalition forces suffered almost no casualties. Not a conquest, just a hurry.
Cheng Yue set up a banquet for them to catch the wind and made a heavy note in the book of military exploits.
In fact, the credit of Dehuan is not big, there are not many soldiers to fight in the four countries, and the place is small, Cheng Yue killed chickens with a knife, just to give the credit to Dehuan.
No one will compete with the generals. Besides, with the respect of the prince, Tuhuan bowed his head to Cheng Yue and charged ahead, so he really couldn't find any fault, and it was reasonable to remember more credit.
After another ten days, the generals of the Northern Expedition and some of the navies who cooperated with the Northern Expedition also returned one after another. Kyoto was occupied, Kamakura fell, and the princes of Honshu were at the end of their rope and could not escape the fate of annihilation or surrender.
At this point, except for some islands, there are still remnants of samurai to be cleared, and all the lands in Japan are under Cheng Yue's absolute control!
The Japanese monarch and ministers immediately congratulated him, and the Emperor Hou Shencao sent a letter, urging Cheng Yue to take over as the general of Zhengyi again, Cheng Yue returned the letter, and ordered someone to tell the Emperor Hou Shencao that he must not write on this matter again, and the Emperor Hou Shencao only promised.
Cheng Yue immediately ordered the abolition of the national prefectures, divided the Japanese islands and the Ezo country into sixty-two prefectures, and appointed qualified officials to govern them. Officials everywhere had to accept the Great Song Dynasty moderation and swear allegiance to Cheng Yue, and Japan was shaken.
Liu Shunzheng won a complete victory in Ezo and returned with a teacher. Du Hu did not compete with the generals in Japan, and went to Ezo to lead the marines to more than ten cities, and was the second most meritorious hero in addition to Liu Shun.
Liu Shun returned to Kyoto to pay an order to Cheng Yue, while Du Hu continued to lead the army north to capture Guwei (Sakhalin Island), which was also a secret order given by Cheng Yue to Liu Shun.
In the face of Cheng Yue's great military exploits, the Japanese monarchs and ministers had no other choice but to submit.
Here, Cheng Yue was grieving the death of Toin Shio, and he was also busy with Japan's state affairs. The Great Song Dynasty, which was hundreds of miles away, was jubilant because of Cheng Yue's victories in Japan one after another.
Cheng Yue gave only three war reports, the first of which was that he landed in Kyushu and completely annihilated the 120,000 troops of Fujiwara.
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, how many times has there been such a big victory?
"China Daily" has been serialized for three days, and the supply is still in short supply! Regardless of whether they are literate or not, almost every household has a copy of it.
The people rushed to tell each other, and everyone was jubilant!
Not long after, Cheng Yue's second war report arrived.
Kyoto, Japan has been captured!
The people are ecstatic, and hundreds of officials congratulate!
Zhao Miaohui was so tired that she was dizzy, no matter how much "China Daily" was printed, it was snatched up by the people as soon as the newspaper came out!
Ding Niang received a snowflake congratulatory watch in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and some officials even only congratulated the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, so that the two saints received less than half of the congratulatory watches in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
All parts of the Great Song Dynasty are as lively as the New Year, and the wine shops and markets are crowded with people. Those who didn't know how to read gathered around to listen to the reports in the "China Daily" read aloud, and listened to them over and over again, but they couldn't get enough of them.
No one read it and didn't want to disperse, and then took the news from hearsay and then boasted, in their minds, the Dadu Governor is the legendary god general who has won a hundred battles, and as long as the Dadu Governor is there, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be invincible!
The Empress Dowager specially ordered the official family to sacrifice to the Taimiao, and in some remote places, there were people who secretly set up hundreds of ancestral halls for Cheng Yue, worshipping in the morning and evening, praying for Cheng Yue's long life and blessing the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
The examinations in the Special Administrative Region have already been held in various provinces one after another, and students from all over the country have been unprecedentedly enthusiastic, and a large number of students from the north have tried their best to go south. The Yuan Dynasty did not have the imperial examination, and if they did not defect to the Great Song Dynasty, how could they get ahead?
Officials from all over the world who were observing the government in Suzhou no longer had any doubts about Cheng Yue's grand cause. The Metropolitan Governors will make great achievements, and their future will be great!
However, there was still a hidden concern in the hearts of the two saints and the ministers of the court, that is, the Kamakura shogunate did not fall. So half a month later, Cheng Yue used the third good news to completely put them at ease.
The 150,000 troops of the Kamakura shogunate were completely annihilated by Angel!
Japan is sure to be the Great Song Dynasty, just waiting for Cheng Yue to officially announce it!
Subsequently, news came that Liu Shun took the country of Ezo in the north of Japan and added another big island to the Great Song Dynasty, while Du Hu continued to conquer Guwei in the north, which is said to be bigger than Japan's Honshu!
Da Song was repeatedly boiling for a series of victorious news, raising his eyebrows up and down, and everyone walked with their chests up and their heads up, which made them feel indispensable.
Cheng Yue seized a lot of gold and silver from Japan, in addition to more than 1.7 million taels of the shogunate, the death of the princes in various places, the surrender of the surrender, plus the initiative of the Kyoto royal family and ministers, only gold, Cheng Yue got more than 3 million taels.
In order to please Cheng Yue, Emperor Kameyama gave the royal family's deposit of more than 5 million taels and 4 million taels at once, and Cheng Yue also took out 1 million taels to comfort the Japanese families who died in the war. Japan has mountains of gold and silver, and Cheng Yue is not in a hurry to hold all the money in his own hands.
More than one million taels of gold were also distributed by Cheng Yue to soldiers with military merits, and they were all given double. That is to say, the bereavement pension for the dead in battle, regardless of the Song, Yuan, Goryeo or Japanese soldiers, was 20 taels of silver or 2 taels of gold (the exchange ratio of gold and silver at that time was basically 1 to 10), and the Song army died in battle with 10 to 20 acres of land and other rewards.
The rewards for wounded, beheading, and other exploits were also very rich, and it was not uncommon to receive hundreds of taels of silver or dozens of taels of gold, and the artillerymen and spearmen also received at least three taels of gold each. Full cash, no deductions, the whole army is jubilant!
Because Cheng Yue still had to face a big battle with Naiyan on the return trip, most of the Song troops handed over the bounties they received to the army, and Cheng Yue arranged for the ships to be sent back to the Southern Song Dynasty first. (To be continued.) )
