Chapter 28 Fusang is in chaos

After the agreement was signed, Tokugawa ordered the daimyo in various places to pay tribute to young workers according to the population of the territory.

If there were any rebels, Tokugawa personally led the samurai to conquer them.

Fighting broke out all over Fusang.

Those who hope to put things at ease will serve as laborers honestly.

Those who did not want to pay tribute from their own territory would go to other daimyo to plunder.

With more than two hundred daimyo fighting their own battles, Fuso's steady upward momentum suddenly took a turn for the worse and slid toward the abyss.

During the war, many people lost their land or fled. More and more workers gathered around Edo.

The number gradually exceeds one million!

Even with Edo's wealth, these people were about to wipe out their savings.

And when there are more people, various problems will come one after another.

Accommodation, food, drinking water, sanitation, and security were all a mess, turning the entire Edo into a huge refugee camp.

Not to mention the scenery, I couldn't even find a place that was nearly clean, and it was disappointing just to look at it.

Yin Lisabai has been learning Chinese in the past six months. After three days of fishing and two days of netting, she finally got started and can have some oral communication.

Then decisively throw it aside.

When I remembered it, I picked up a copy of "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and shook my head until I fainted, so I went out for a walk.

She walked around Edo Castle that day, and when she came back, she looked like she was surviving a disaster.

"I never imagined that it would be so scary when there are too many people!"

"What did you see? Tell me and listen."

Lin En is a little funny. She has always been full of energy and vitality. I don't know what she saw that made her so depressed.

Yin Lisabai said with an ugly face: "People, there are so many people! They don't do anything, they just lie on the ground waiting for food."

"Dirty, lazy, shameless, many people don't even wear clothes!"

She didn't know what she was thinking of, but her face turned red and she was mumbling:

"That horrible scene of countless people without clothes, I never want to see it again in my life!"

Lin En almost laughed out loud when she saw her face, which was so shameful. He already knew what she saw.

There were more and more people inside and outside Edo, and the daimyo from all over the place sent people here and then left it alone.

The Tokugawa family didn't want to take care of it, but they didn't dare. They could only keep these people like this until Lin En took them away.

These people who were sent here were originally poor people without any education. Now that they see that they can eat without having to do anything, many of them choose to become decadent.

As long as they were hungry, they would lie down. Some people would sell their belongings for money if they did not have enough food to eat. Those who had no personal belongings would sell their clothes.

If one person does this, others will follow him. When there are more people without clothes, those who wear clothes will become different.

So it is not unusual for people to be naked in large areas.

Just that scene,

Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people are walking around with no clothes on, their bodies covered in white!

Thinking about it does give you nightmares...

"But with so many people, can our boat hold them?"

Yin Lisabai asked a question that many people are concerned about.

Now more and more people are gathering inside and outside Edo Castle, but Lin En has no intention of stopping.

Their fleet had more than a thousand ships when they set out, but they were docked and damaged along the way, and now there are still more than 800 ships.

Putting aside the more than 300 warships, there are only less than 500 that can really be used to pull people.

Even if we do not take into account the size of the ship and the supply and sanitary conditions required for long voyages, each ship can hold up to 250,000 people based on 500 people.

This is already an extremely large number. But now there are at least 1.2 million people waiting outside, and the number is growing.

It has long exceeded their transportation capacity.

Tokugawa never dared to ask, but no one here in Rohan cared.

Their fleet was divided into two parts, one part stayed in Edo, and the other part went to take over "Shikoku Island". The people on the fleet could also be placed here.

Those Han people will live in Shikoku Island, take root, and become the land of Rohan in the Fuso Islands.

Like a nail, while it continues to bleed, it also nails Fusang here firmly.

Not only that, he also plans to occupy the Ezo land (Hokkaido). In this way, one from the south and one from the north, and attacked from both sides, Fuso will never be able to make waves. It can only bleed continuously for the construction of Rohan.

As for the problem of too many people gathering this time, Lin En thought for a moment, clapped her hands and stood up.

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

Yin Lisabai shook her head repeatedly, "No, I won't go!"

She would never see that scene of white flowers and squirming flowers again!

"Are you sure?" Linn narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

Is there any good show to watch? Yin Lisabai hesitated,

Judging from Linn's appearance, something interesting will definitely happen if you go there.

But is it more important to watch the fun or to avoid nightmares?

Then there is no need to hesitate?

Yin Lisa rolled her eyes and immediately stretched out her hand.

"Let's go!"

Lin En pulled Yin Lisabai out of the Edo Honmaru Palace, followed closely by the guards outside the palace.

After hearing the news, Tokugawa Yoshihachi rushed over and kowtowed in front of him, but Lin Enli ignored him and walked straight forward. Tokugawa stood up in a hurry, lowered his hands and followed behind, showing great respect.

Now, after losing a large number of warriors, the Tokugawa family has also lost its prestige among the people. Many daimyo from various places are also dissatisfied. The only way he can go is to hug Rohan tightly.

As long as there is the support of Rohan, the Tokugawa family will still be the most powerful shogunate in Fuso, and Fuso will still be under the control of the Tokugawa family.

As for those contracts? It was obviously signed by the emperor, and he was just executing them.

Under his deliberate guidance, people's grievances will be more concentrated in Kyoto.

If one day, when necessary, he could even regain his reputation by "overthrowing the emperor".



The group of people gathered more and more, and walked up the city wall of Edo in a mighty manner.

Looking out at the endless and chaotic "resettlement camp".

"How many people are here?" Linn asked.

Tokugawa Yoshihachi was so excited that he quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, as of yesterday, the number of people counted was about 1.4 million. If that's not enough, there are still laborers on the way."

"That's almost it. Let's do it this time." Lin En's words made Tokugawa secretly relieved. Suddenly supplying food for so many people really made him unable to hold on anymore.

Next time, be sure to ask those famous people to bring their own rice and grain, and pay the management tax.

Lin En turned to look at the guards beside him, "Please inform me that the fleet will set sail in three days."

"Your Majesty!" Tokugawa quickly knelt down and said hesitantly: "The port of Edo is too small, and the laborers will not be able to board the ship in three days."

Lin En said coldly: "The three days are for fleet replenishment, not for workers to board the ship."

"What about these workers who were summoned?" Tokugawa couldn't help but screamed in horror.
