Laoliu's design for Kyushu was basically the same as that of Goryeo, both retaining the king's appointment of a chief secretary.
It just so happened that the King of Goryeo was a child and the King of Japan was a puppet, so the system that worked well in Goryeo would not be a big problem in Japan.
He planned to appoint Shao Er Laicheng as the left chief envoy to Kyushu and other places, and Otomo himself as the right chief envoy, and the two would jointly manage Kyushu's government affairs.
As for the future inspection envoys and capital commanders, they will be appointed by the imperial court.
After all, Japan does not border the Ming Dynasty like Goryeo, and there will be gold mines to supervise in the future, so it cannot have its own pro-Ming faction as the inspector like Goryeo.
Young Master Laicheng and Otomo Senshi expressed their understanding of this. It was appropriate for the imperial court to send individuals to supervise this situation, which was so far away across the ocean.
As for sending an envoy to the capital, that is what they want. If the Ming army really withdraws, the Northern Dynasty will come back to deal with them. Even if they are given a Japanese king, they will not last long.
The Ming Dynasty sent all the envoys to command, so they had to garrison troops. As long as the Ming Dynasty garrisoned troops, the Northern Dynasty would not dare to make trouble. Only then could the safety of Kyushu be guaranteed, and they could be the local emperor with peace of mind.
In short, the two men did not have high political demands, unlike the ambitious Li Chenggui, who regarded Goryeo as a treasure. As long as they could actually manage Kyushu, they were satisfied, so they were very satisfied with Lao Liu's arrangement.
Lao Liu originally thought that the two of them might have objections to arrangements such as garrison and supervision, so he prepared a real earl title for each of them. In the end, they happily agreed without any complaints.
So he was just a thief and didn't mention the title again. Although it would be given to them sooner or later, wouldn't it be nice to hang them and wait for them to make meritorious service in the future before rewarding them?
"We must hurry up on the Shimazu family's affairs." Lao Liu finally ordered: "Get it done as soon as possible and start the story soon."
"Hi." Young Master Laicheng and Otomo Senshi responded in unison without any hesitation.
When the two came out of the king's tent with many thanks, Shimazu Yoshiguro hurried forward to greet them and inquired about what His Highness had discussed with them.
However, the two of them only used some ecstasy soup to fool him without saying a word to him.
Both Shaoer and Otomo know that the Shimazu family is their name. There is no such thing as three people sharing weal and woe! From now on, only two people will be left in Kyushu...
Besides, if two people share a piece of cake, they will get more than three people.
Seeing the three people walking out of the camp just as they came, talking in low voices, Hu Quan couldn't help but sigh: "These two are ruthless people who hide their swords behind their smiles."
"This word is used well. A smile hides a knife. When you deal with the Japanese in the future, you must remember that they are all this kind of people." Zhu Zhen reminded everyone of civil and martial arts with a smile.
Everyone hurriedly said that they had taken note of it. Han Yike added: "But I didn't expect that they are more obedient than the Koreans. It doesn't matter how they arrange it."
"The people of the two countries are different. The Goryeo people want to find a father for themselves. It is common for a son to have trouble with his father and negotiate terms." Lao Liu laughed and said, "Japan is a strong-willed person.
, as long as you subdue him, you can do whatever you want with him, in whatever position you want. And you especially like to be tied up and beaten..."
"Hahaha, Your Highness is really full of witty words." The generals laughed strangely, saying to themselves that they had been busy fighting in Japan and had never seen Japanese ladies.
Hey, why do you think of Japanese women from His Highness's lecture? It seems that you are really frustrated.

The second son, Raicheng, and Otomo went back to make a plan. Since they decided to do it, they should do it as soon as possible. While the senior officials of the Shimadzu family and the army were in Ono Castle before they returned, catch them all in one go, so as to avoid the disadvantages and endless troubles.
But after all, the three of them had been together for so many years, and it was too ugly to hide it. The two decided to let King Changqing show off his remaining energy before he completely stepped aside.
So the two of them met with King Changqing all night long and asked the king to declare the Shimazu family, Matsuura family, and Uku family as Japanese pirates, deprive them of all power and status, capture them all, and hand them over to the Chinese government for disposal.
The kings of Japan have been using human skin seals for generations, and they will obey whoever is stronger, and Changqing is no exception. Soon, the two of them got the edict with his signature seal.
The two went to Nijo Nori and asked him to read out the edict. Nijo Nori was not willing to wade into this troubled waters, but the two of them vowed that they would recommend him as the chief envoy to Kyushu after the matter was completed, so he reluctantly agreed.
So early the next morning, Nijo Sect, relying on Guan Bai's identity, summoned the civil and military ministers and a group of Kyushu local tycoons to announce the edict in the castle tower.
Everyone in the Shimazu family was completely in the dark. It wasn't until they heard the edict that they looked at Young Master Yori Cheng and Otomo Akashi in shock. They must have known about such an important matter, so why didn't they communicate with them at all?!
However, they saw that the mattresses where they were sitting were already empty. They had quietly left the pavilion while everyone was leaning over to listen to the announcement.
Before everyone could recover, they heard noisy footsteps outside the Shimian Pavilion, and then samurai armed with Japanese swords poured in and pounced on the unarmed Shimazu Yoshiguro and others.
Everyone in the Shimazu family knew that they had been tricked, and tried desperately to escape and get weapons. Unexpectedly, the narrow stairs were crowded with soldiers from the Shaoji family and the Otomo family.
It's hard to fly now...
Only then did Shimazu Yoshiguro and others realize that the second son, Raicheng, and Otomo Takashi were trying to capture them. They were so furious that they fought with the two samurai families with their bare hands while shouting curses. The two of them had betrayed their oath and would die badly!
The men of the Shimazu family were indeed violent and fierce. Even though they were defeated, they refused to surrender and were eventually beheaded in the castle tower.
Under the leadership of the Shimazu family, the Matsuura family and the Uku family could not just surrender, otherwise where would they be? They would end up dead or injured, and no one would be spared.
The ministers and wealthy people from other families have been huddled in a corner, fearing that they would be the victims.
They didn't stand up until the shouting of death ended, looking at the dead bodies on the ground in shock, not knowing what to do.
At this time, the second son, Laicheng Laicheng, and Otomo Otomo came out from behind the screen. They looked surprised and said: "Oh, I have only been out for a while, why is it like this?!"
The acting skills are so bad that no one dares to expose them.
"Lord Guan Bai, please tell me what's going on?" Young Master Laicheng looked at Nijo Kori who was still sitting in front of the screen.
Nijo Koyori showed no reaction. Everyone hurried forward to check, and with a slight push, he collapsed to the ground, and the clothes on his back were soaked in blood.
It turned out that someone stabbed him to death from behind the screen...
"Lord Guan Bai was killed by the Shimazu family." At this time, Takazo, the head of the Xiaodama family who was vassal to the Shaoer family, shouted.
Young Master Laicheng cast an approving look at Xiaoyu Guisan, and then asked everyone with a solemn expression: "What should we do now?"
Everyone said that of course it is up to you to do whatever you want. They all said honestly that it was all up to the two of you.
