I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Tang Xiaoren also said: "Your Majesty is worthy of being Your Majesty. Huang Xiao really has the talent of a frontier official!"

Jia Renyi also nodded.

What the court lacks most is talent.

A senior official who can govern one side well and handle relations between all parties.

As long as you have excellent performance, it is easy to enter the center.

However, there are so many governors in the court now, and not many of them can take charge on their own.

Huang Xiao, who donated money to become an official, was able to put down the rebellion with a quick and decisive blow. Even the Yuhang Governor did not have such ability.

No wonder Li Tian gave Huang Xiao another difficult task.

Jia Renyi said: "Master Prime Minister, His Majesty's appointment of Huang Xiao to supervise the Southeast Official School is really a stroke of genius!"

Tang Xiaoren said: "Yes, banning private schools and establishing official schools will definitely cause great resistance in Yuhang."

"But Huang Xiaogang put down the Yuhang Salt Rebellion and has evidence of the powerful and wealthy in his hands."

“He is indeed the best candidate for supervision.”

Tang Xiaoren also said admiringly: "Your Majesty is really good at controlling people!"

Jia Renyi said: "Your Majesty actually issued an edict to reprimand the Ministry of Personnel. This is the first time that he has been so harsh."

Tang Xiaoren sneered and said, "These guys in the Ministry of Personnel really need a beating!"

"Everyday I feel like I am the head of the six departments and no one looks down on me."

"I heard that the Ministry of Literature actually calls itself the Small Cabinet, saying that officials above the fifth rank in the court are under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet, and those below the fifth rank are under their jurisdiction!"

"Now everyone knows that the Ministry of Personnel is a lucrative job. Even minor clerks dare to blatantly ask for bribes from candidates for the imperial examination."

"If we don't discipline these guys, I don't know what will happen!"

……

Igawa Hirozo's ship finally docked at Edo Island in Japan.

Through operations in the Great Zhou, Igawa Kozo attracted the assistance of 4,000 soldiers.

Among them were Rand's personal guards, Jeon Min-ho's personal soldiers, and some gangsters recruited by Igawa Kozo at the port and Jeju Island.

This group of people came to Edo in batches in the name of merchants.

After Igawa Kozo arrived in Edoguchi, he immediately convened a meeting.

"Everyone, we must have a legitimate reason when we start a rebellion, otherwise it will be neither legitimate nor justifiable!"

"I want to raise the banner of rebellion and conquer the Protector of Japan!"

The garrison on Edo Island had long been infiltrated by Igawa Kozo.

The governor of Edo immediately said, "Sir, can't we fly the flag of the Great Zhou? If we show the flag of the Great Zhou, I'm afraid everyone will be more submissive."

That's what the Japanese are like.

If you are friendly and easy-going with him, he will think you are weak.

But if you hurt him, he will be very submissive.

The last time Fan Jian captured the royal city, the entire Japanese country was frightened. Now, merchants from the Great Zhou Dynasty can travel freely in Japan.

The Japanese people were full of awe for the Great Zhou.

The Edo governor felt that as long as Igawa Kozo could raise the flag of the Great Zhou, all forces would surely surrender.

Igawa Hirozo sighed and said:

"I want to overthrow the Protector of Japan who is recognized by the Great Zhou court. How could the Great Zhou support such an act?"

"But I have already negotiated with General Lander of the Great Zhou. As long as I can replace the Protector of the Japanese, the Great Zhou will definitely recognize my identity."

The governor of Edo said regretfully: "Then we can only fight!"

Igawa Hirozo said, "Can we use the same method that Lord Fan Jian used to break into the royal city last time?"

The governor of Edo said, "It shouldn't be possible. The last time the royal city fell, the captain who protected the Japanese built many wooden castles along the way."

"Who is guarding the castle?"

"Those castles are all guarded by the family elders and trusted aides of the Guardian of Wo."

Igawa Hirozo said with a smile: "That's easy, let's continue on this road!"

The next day, after Igawa Hirozo's troops finished their meal, they officially launched their march in Edo.

Igawa Hirozo raised the two banners of "suppressing rebellion" and "enlightenment" to denounce the Japanese protector who was still closing the country to the outside world.

"Suppress rebellion" is the slogan that the Japanese people should hear.

Enlightenment is the slogan for thoroughly learning the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Hirozo Igawa sent people to make two large flags and set out from Edo towards the royal capital!

Igawa Hirozo's marching speed was very fast. After setting out from Edoguchi, he marched hundreds of miles in a day.

When the wealthy people along the way saw that Igawa Hirozo's troops were all equipped with the standard equipment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they immediately raised their hands in surrender.

They were all frightened by Fan Jian's beating.

The equipment used by Igawa Hirozo is even better than the one Fan Jian used last time.

Soon, a rumor spread within Japan.

Da Zhou supports Kozo Igawa!

Igawa Hirozo was the second son of the Japanese Protector General. Although he was not the crown prince, the castle guards along the way all knew Igawa Hirozo.

If the people from the Great Zhou invaded, these retainers of the Jingchuan family would still resist.

However, when they saw the strong army and powerful horses of Igawa Hirozo, these retainers stood on Igawa Hirozo's side without hesitation.

The drama of a loving father and a filial son, and of the subordinates rebelling against their superiors, is also very common in Japan.

The Japanese have always believed that the one with the strongest army and powerful military force can become the emperor.

If a son, once he has grown strong, forces his father to abdicate, he will be condemned by the whole world in the Central Plains and may be infamous for thousands of years.

But in a country like Japan where there is no etiquette or education, this is really a normal thing.

This group of retainers were loyal to the Igawa family's Protector of Japan Captain.

As for who will be the commander of the Protectorate over Japan, they don't care at all.

Just as Igawa Kozo had expected, they did not encounter much actual resistance along the way, and the resistance from the big households was only symbolic.

Igawa Kozo and I are at war, and these are the Igawa family's family affairs.

They hoped that the Igawa family would be severely damaged so that they could take the opportunity to seize the throne of the Protector of Japan Captain.

After seeing Igawa Hirozo's strength, the retainers of the Igawa family quickly pledged their allegiance to him.

The Japanese King's Castle.

In the residence of the captain of the Protectorate of Japanese Okinawa.

"What a rebellious son! What a rebellious son!"

Upon hearing that the one who was to rebel was his own son, the current Protector of Japan Captain Igawa Munehito became furious.

He said to the chief elder, "Where did that rebellious son get into?"

The chief elder knelt down and said, "General, we are less than three days away from the capital!"

After Fan Jian conquered the royal city, he felt that the Japanese ruler dared to call himself the shogun, which was an act of usurpation!

Therefore, the title of the Shogun was changed to the Protector of Wo Japan.

However, in the Japanese Guard Commander's Office, the retainers were still accustomed to calling Igawa Munehito the general.

Igawa Sohito took a deep breath and said, "So fast!"

The chief elder sighed and said, "The rebels' troops were equipped with the standard equipment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they did not encounter any actual resistance along the way."

This made Igawa Sohito even angrier.

But he calmed down and said, "Where are our new troops?"

After being easily defeated by Fan Jian last time, Igawa Sojin also learned his lesson

Although he was unwilling to study Da Zhou thoroughly, he was willing to learn part of it.

Igawa Munehito established a new army following the example of the Great Zhou army.

The new army's equipment was all modeled after that of the Great Zhou.

The training method used was also that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
