According to Li Xin's plan, the entire Eastern Kingdom would be divided with Mount Fuji as the boundary.
The area west of Mount Fuji, including Kyushu and Shikoku, is known as the Toyo Province.
It is the capital of the country and the capital of the Toying Province.
However, it is clear that the name of the capital city will be changed, and it will be renamed Dongying City.
The area east of the Fuji Mountains is Fuso Province. Edo Castle is the capital of Fuso Province.
After the establishment of the Eastern Province and the Fusang Province, they were all placed under military rule.
The commanders of the original Western Route Army's 31st, 32nd, 42nd, 43rd, 61st, and 62nd Infantry Divisions formed the Military Control Commission of Japan, responsible for guarding various parts of Japan.
The commanders of the original Eastern Route Army's 16th, 17th, 18th, 41st, and 63rd Infantry Divisions formed the Fusang Provincial Military Control Commission, responsible for guarding various parts of Fusang Province.
In addition, the headquarters of the Eastern Ocean Fleet was moved from Jiangnan and other places in the Great Gan Kingdom to Edo Castle. The Eastern Ocean Fleet was stationed in the provinces of Japan and the eastern seas of the Japanese region.
The areas originally under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Ocean Fleet were all transferred to the Beiyang Fleet.
In order to ensure the implementation of the monarchy, it is necessary to support the suppression with a large army!
After making this decision, on the seventh day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Yanning, a high-level military and political meeting of the Japanese and Japanese provinces was held in Dongying City.
Looking at the group of division commanders, Li Xin said, "The primary task of guarding Japan and the East is to eliminate treacherous officials and lawbreakers."
"This matter will be handled by the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Eastern Pacification Division, with your assistance! Only by eliminating treacherous officials can we remove unstable elements here and ensure stability throughout Eastern Japan!"
"In addition, the second task was to register the people and compile a list of the Japanese population."
"Third, draw militia from all over the country and send them to various parts of Japan to settle the borders!"
"Fourth, I will instruct the cabinet to select scholars from various regions to come to Japan and Fusang Province to bolster the grassroots administrative staff in the two provinces."
"These scholars,"
Li Xin continued, "They will not only serve as grassroots administrative personnel in the two provinces of Japan and Japan, but will also serve as instructors in schools throughout the two provinces, responsible for promoting assimilation policies."
"Through the efforts of the past few years, our Great Gan Kingdom has also compiled a standard Great Gan dictionary and Great Gan Mandarin. In Japan and Japan, just like in the grasslands, the Western Regions, and the snowy plateau, we will promote Great Gan language and Great Gan script, so as to achieve a unified written language and a unified pronunciation!"
"Once schools are established in various places, all unmarried people will be sent to the schools to learn Daqian language and Daqian characters."
"Especially for school-age children who are six years old or older, we must ensure that all of them are sent to school!"
"In addition, the land tax policy formulated by our Dagang cabinet will also be implemented in Japan and Japan. The standard of Dagang dialect and Dagang characters will also be linked to the land tax policy. Those who can use Dagang dialect and Dagang characters fluently will be given appropriate reductions or exemptions from land tax."
"Anyone who continues to speak Japanese in public will have their land tax increased!"
"Strive to thoroughly promote the use of the Da Gan language and Da Gan script in most parts of Japan within one or two decades!"
In the assimilation policy, literacy was the most important thing!
Only by receiving the same education can a sense of identity be established.
This policy is also a long-term policy.
Once we can completely change the way Japan speaks, and then follow up with other policies, it will be much simpler to completely bring Japan under our rule!
Other policies, of course, include changing customs and traditions and promoting intermarriage!
These two policies, though seemingly simple, were crucial in ensuring Japan's submission to the monarchy.
Changing customs and traditions means eliminating some of the old customs in Japan and gradually replacing them with the customs and etiquette of Japan.
This will take a long time to complete.
However, one aspect of changing customs and traditions can be completed within the year.
That means changing one's surname!
Within the territory of Japan, the vast majority of ordinary people do not have surnames, only given names. In the past, only the royal family, feudal lords, and nobles had surnames.
However, most of them are surnames such as Tokugawa, Mori, and Nabeshima. These surnames are quite different from those of the people of Okanagan.
Therefore, the first step in changing customs and traditions is to change one's surname.
Using the existing surnames of the Great Kingdom as a standard, the surnames of all citizens of the Eastern Kingdom will be changed.
Immediately, the joint military and political conference of the two provinces of Japan and Japan made a decision and issued Order No. 1, which selected one hundred surnames from the "Surname Records" of the Great Gan Kingdom as the standard and distributed them to various parts of the two provinces of Japan and Japan. It ordered all people to change their surnames and apply for name change when registering households before the fifth year of Yanning.
Those who fail to amend their declarations by the deadline will be sent to work in factories and mines.
Besides changing customs and surnames, another policy was intermarriage.
Intermarriage will also be linked to land tax. For example, if a woman marries a soldier in the army, her family's land tax may be reduced accordingly.
They encouraged eligible Japanese women to marry high-ranking military officers, high-ranking officials, and militia members.
After these policies were finalized, the joint military-civilian meeting concluded successfully.
Li Xin also entrusted the affairs of Japan and other places to the military control commissions of the two provinces, as well as the Jinyiwei Japan Pacification Division and others.
In mid-July of the fifth year of Yanning, after handling the aftermath in Japan, Li Xin also arrived at Kagoshima Castle.
The current Kagoshima Castle has been renamed Kagoshima Castle.
On the seaside city wall, the three large Chinese characters read "Deer Island City". This place is located by the sea and has excellent geographical conditions.
The northern mountainous region of Kashima Castle is where the Hishikari Gold Mine of the Eastern Province is located. The mined gold, after being smelted, can be transported from Kashima Port to the Kingdom of Daikan.
According to the plan, this will also be an important port city in the Toyo Province.
After arriving at Kashima Castle, the gold ore collected from the Hishikari Gold Mine was also loaded onto the ship. This gold ore will also be transported back to the Daqian Kingdom along with Li Xin.
On July 20th, after everything was ready, Li Xin set off on his journey home with a boat full of gold.
This campaign against Japan lasted for more than half a year. Japan was successfully pacified and brought under the rule of the Great Gan Kingdom.
In addition, they also amassed a great deal of wealth here.
It was a very fruitful experience!
On his way back, Li Xin stood on the deck of the Beiyang Fleet flagship Zhenyuan, gazing at the vast sea with a bright smile on his face.
The vast ocean is turbulent with waves.
The Great Khanate has now become the absolute ruler of this sea area.
"His Majesty,"
Zhang Jingzhi walked to Li Xin's side and said, "After the pacification of Japan, there will be no more threats from the East. We can shift our focus to other places..."
"East?"
Li Xin was slightly taken aback, then his eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right, the East has not yet been explored..."
