Some people were very happy at this time, but some people looked pale. Those who were happy were naturally those who had a good relationship with Suzuki Nakata, and those who were sad were naturally those who had a grudge against them.
Some people wondered why they weren't called out. Was their position unimportant? If that were the case, wouldn't they have no future?
Just as they were daydreaming, the people who followed Suzuki Nakata into the house came out. They looked at His Majesty the Emperor with some shame, then rode away on horseback with the Tang Dynasty soldiers beside them.
These people are all generals around the capital, and they all have more or less military power in their hands. Although many soldiers have fled the barracks now, if you count the barracks around the capital, there are still quite a few soldiers inside.
Lord Suzuki knew very well what Ding Jiayong meant, which was to let all the soldiers in the barracks stay inside and not let them come out to cause trouble. These people all had combat skills, and if they came out to cause trouble, it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to control this place.
After stabilizing the military camp, these generals had to start their second step, which was to screen their soldiers carefully, just like Jiro Fujii. Those who were useful to the Tang Dynasty would naturally stay, and those who were useless would naturally be driven out. Of course, if they encountered those who were brainless, they would send them to the west first.
These generals were unwilling at first, but Suzuki Nakatasu was no fool. Under coercion and inducement, these people knew what to do next. Your families are still counting on you to survive. If your whole family refuses, you can be loyal to the Emperor. But you don't know what he can give you after you lose the lives of your whole family.
After this group of people left, Suzuki Nakatasu called in five or six more people. These people were from the local government offices in the capital. They had to return to their jobs. Although their subordinates had all run away, they had to set up this stall.
Soon someone came to support them. The capital city had to be restored to peace within three days. Suzuki Nakatasu was definitely a talent. He had a deep understanding of these officials in the Fuso capital city. He would not give any chance to those who only knew how to eat and not do anything.
At this time, he knew very well that Ding Jiayong was watching him and everything he did would be reported to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he had to show some real ability. As long as he could stabilize the Fusang capital in a very short period of time, his position in the future would be stable.
As for the Emperor of Fuso, he was now sitting on a stone by the roadside with his eyes closed. He did not dare to open his eyes at all, as if opening his eyes would be like seeing hell.
At the beginning, Suzuki Nakatasu felt a little guilty, but he soon thought about why he was asked to go to the negotiations. There are so many ministers in the court, but you insisted on letting me go to negotiate. Everyone knows that this negotiation is a life-and-death matter, but did you care about my family at that time?
It's just an imperial edict that lets me set off immediately. I'm lucky now. The Tang Dynasty treats me as an official. As for your own future, you can think about it slowly. Anyway, I can't take care of so many things. Just be a good puppet emperor. I believe you will have a chance to eat in the future.
In less than half an hour, more than a dozen officials were sent out, and Suzuki Nakatasu left again with the Tang soldiers. As for the emperor and others, they would go to a nearby settlement under the supervision of Fujii Jiro. They would have to stay in this place until there was an order from above.
The emperor in the future will be like a mascot. When it is time for you to come out, you will come out. When it is not time for you to come out, you will stay in your own yard. You will be well fed and well drunk every day, and everything including your woman will be left for you. This can be said to be the best day ever.
If you do this to someone who has never held power, he will definitely kowtow to you, maybe even break his head.
But for the Emperor of Fuso, this was almost equivalent to killing him. He had lived in the center of power since he was a child, but now he had become a puppet and had to watch his country become a colony of the Tang Dynasty step by step. This was undoubtedly a very sad thing.
The emperor wanted to die, but there was a rushing river next to him and there was no way he would survive if he jumped in. Unfortunately, the emperor did not have the courage. He had no idea how many people he had ordered to be executed in his life, at least eighty if not a hundred. But in the end, he got scared.
The emperor had fewer and fewer followers, and most of them went to Suzuki Nakatasu. They also knew that the emperor could not give them anything, and that in the future Fuso would be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and would not even be as good as those vassal states.
Fukuoka
Compared with the capital of Fuso, this place is already well governed. Although it is not as good as Goguryeo, production around here has already started, and many people have now accepted their fate. They do whatever they are told to do, even if they have to be slaves for their whole lives, at least they are still alive.
Recently, there have been frequent corpses washed up on the beach. Most of these people were washed up from the deep sea. At that time, no one knew how many people died in Fukuoka and Nagasaki. In order to avoid various problems caused by these corpses, Li Xiang ordered all the corpses to be sent to the deep sea.
But now they still rush over every now and then. However, this is also a good thing. It can make the people of these two places see clearly and obey the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. Then at least you can see the sun tomorrow. But if you don’t obey, there may be a place for you in this sea.
"Your Highness, the court has already agreed to your proposal. I just received the imperial edict today."
When Zhang Jiuli saw Li Xiang coming in, he quickly found the most important document of the day. The other matters were just trivial matters and he could handle them by himself.
Zhang Jiuli is definitely a talented guy. Li Xiang used to be so busy that he was running around. But now he has been fishing until sunset for two consecutive days. There is nothing to do at all. Most of the work is done by spot checks, and Li Xiang is very satisfied with what he has found.
The imperial court naturally agreed with Li Xiang's plan. Although they could not take over all of Fuso, the court had already begun to celebrate the result. There was no need to occupy it all, as long as they could get the benefits they deserved.
