If the emperor just had the thought of dying, now he really wanted to jump into the sea.
The Tang Dynasty's support fleet arrived a little late, but it did not delay things here. Ding Jiayong did a very good job, so it doesn't matter whether there are support fleets or not. Now the support fleet only serves as a deterrent to those small guys.
Why does His Majesty the Emperor want to jump into the sea?
This is because most of the people who got off the ship were dressed in uniforms. It can be seen from their clothes and weapons that this should be the reorganized army that Suzuki mentioned. These people are from Fukuoka and Nagasaki, but now they have become minions of the Tang Dynasty.
Many ministers around had the same look in their eyes as the emperor. They couldn't believe that these people were actually Fuso people. However, judging from their language and clothes, they were definitely Fuso people and could never have any relationship with the Tang Dynasty.
"They...how could they do this?"
The Emperor found it difficult to accept the facts before him. He reasoned that although Fukuoka and Nagasaki had fallen, they were still Fuso territory, and the people would not want to be slaves of the kingdom. Therefore, the relationship between them and the Tang Dynasty should be very tense. But what was happening? There was no sign of tension between them at all. Instead, many people stood obediently beside the Tang army, acting as a vanguard for them to bully the local people.
Lord Suzuki sighed helplessly. When I told you guys this earlier, none of you believed it, and you even vowed to drag the Tang Dynasty into a war, a war of resistance by ordinary people.
But do you know how the Tang Dynasty did things? After they occupied a place, they immediately sent a large number of guards from Goguryeo. These Goguryeo guards did things without any principles. If they did not like it, they would immediately beat them with sticks.
In just over a month, countless people died under these sticks, but the Goguryeo army did not receive any punishment. Instead, the generals of the Tang Dynasty commended them and their families received many rewards.
According to what Lord Suzuki knew, if a Goguryeo soldier could ensure that there was no danger in his area for ten days in Fuso, his family would be able to obtain a batch of food, which was a batch of fine food.
The life of the Goguryeo people was very hard, and they might not even have a meal of fine grain for a whole year, so this kind of reward was very deadly to them, especially if there were children at home. They would try their best to exploit the Fuso people. If anyone had any ideas, they would immediately beat up your whole family. As long as you could get up to work the next day, they would never show mercy.
Under this high-pressure policy, the Japanese people also knew who to obey. These soldiers transported from Fukuoka also wanted to fight for good conditions for their families.
The method used by Li Xiang is very old-fashioned, but it has to be said that it is extremely useful. The main thing is that if you want your family to eat better and wear warmer clothes, then after arriving at the capital of Fuso, you should ensure that there are no public security cases in the area you are responsible for. As for actions against the Tang Dynasty, you should twist off the heads of these people.
Before leaving, the Tang army said that the life of your family depends entirely on what you do in the capital. If you work hard for the Tang Dynasty, then you and your family will not have a hard life. At least it will be much better than those who work hard, for example, you can be assigned as a supervisor or something.
So after these people got off the boat, they didn't even look at the emperor, and they quickly got involved in maintaining public order. Each of them had a big stick tied around their waist, and more than a dozen people formed a team. If anyone disobeyed, more than a dozen people would immediately rush up and beat them up.
No matter what you did before, or which government office you belonged to, now you are just an ordinary citizen of the capital. Before being canonized, all people are equal, and anyone who makes a mistake will be beaten.
Boatloads of people came down, and they quickly filled every corner of the Fuso capital. There were these people wearing black clothes, who were specifically there to maintain law and order. Their methods of maintaining law and order were extremely brutal, and they would chop your head off at any time to see if you dared to cause trouble.
After seeing all this, the emperor and Fuso officials could not accept it. Although this place would still be under their rule, the emperor had already seen his own end. He was nothing more than a puppet and had no rights at all.
However, the emperor had another hope in his mind, that is, the Fuso daimyos scattered across the country would not be so obedient. The Tang Dynasty would deprive them of their rights and take away their property, so these people would probably resist again. As for the extent of their resistance, it was hard to guess.
"You're trying to find a place for these people. I don't think they'd dare return to the palace. Until the entire city is settled, you're responsible for their safety. We can't rule this place directly, at least not within the next five years. They're still useful."
Ding Jiayong said with some disgust that the one leading the team was Fujii Jiro, and this guy was specifically responsible for this matter. Ding Jiayong was unwilling to use his soldiers to take care of the Fuso royal family. In his opinion, these people were not worthy at all. You'd better find a place to hide and don't show up in front of me, otherwise I will find an opportunity to beat even the emperor.
"Please rest assured, General. I will do it immediately."
Jiro Fujii said very happily that he was originally just a small local official, but now he could give orders to the emperor and his entourage. This was simply unimaginable. These were all benefits given by the Tang Dynasty. It would never be wrong to follow the Tang Dynasty.
"Listen up, everyone! Follow my army and leave this place immediately. The generals of the Tang Dynasty don't want to see you. If they see you still here, they won't be as easy to talk to as I am."
What surprised the Emperor was that Fujii Jiro actually spoke to him in such a tone. You know, during the ceremony last year, Fujii Jiro's grandfather had entered the palace on his knees out of gratitude, and his knees were worn out. In the blink of an eye, this kid was like this...
