In Huaxia 3984, on the second day of February in the second year of Hongwu, the dragon raised its head.

The entire household registration and land inventory of Zhushi Island was completed, and the counties reported to the Tang Dynasty. There are more than 270,000 households in 13 counties of Xiuning and Hailu, with more than 950,000 men and women. More than 117,000 acres of land.

In addition, more than 17,000 Yuan war horses and more than 22,000 cattle were seized from various pastures. The confiscated Yuan people's property was converted into 2.4 million yuan in silver and 1.24 million stone in grain.

When Li Luo saw the household registration, he couldn't help but be a little speechless. He remembered that Kyushu Island still had a population of more than 1.4 million at the time of his expedition. It's only been five years, and it's lost 500,000 people!

More than a third of the population has been lost.

It can be seen how cruel the rule of the Mongol Semu aristocracy on the island was.

"Young Erjun, Yi Di is like a tiger, and the people's livelihood is suffering. I have great mercy on him. Li Luo sighed.

Shao Erxin was loyal and slanderous, but he didn't dare to show the slightest hint on his face, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is kind and loves the people, and he is really a saint through the ages, and the people are blessed since then." ”

Li Luo nodded, with a look of pity on his face, "The people of this island are ancient refugees from China, the Yanhuang branch, and they are also the sons of the Tang Dynasty. The edict was issued to exempt the two counties from paying taxes for one year. In addition, 300,000 stone of grain was allocated to provide relief to the victims. ”

Shao Er Xinzi was stunned for a moment, immediately stood up, took three steps back, bowed solemnly, kowtowed three times in a row, and swallowed: "Your Majesty... Benevolent! Minister... There was a heart of slander before, a capital crime! ”

That's right, in his opinion, Li Luo is indeed hypocritical, but Li Luo is hypocritical, and he also implements the Juntian Order, giving the Chinese people the same treatment, and also exempting taxes for one year to help the victims!

If a king can do this, no matter how hypocritical he is, he is still a benevolent king! Hypocrisy? That's really for the world!

For the sake of the world? Is hypocrisy for the sake of the people?

Li Luo asked the guards to help up Shao Erxinzi? "Young Erjun? You have known me for many years, and you can be regarded as my old friend. What's in your mind? How do you not know? ”

Shao Erxinzi said with a flushed face: "The minister is frightened and has no place to embarrass himself. ”

Li Luo smiled: "Are you slanderous? But can you tell you calmly? I will not sin against you. What you think makes sense. You think I'm an outsider, and I'm here to invade Japan, so I've been haunted by it. ”

"But? Am I really an outsider? Your former emperors? Tell me personally that he is a descendant of Xu Fu. Many Chinese people, including your Shao Er family, have ancestors from the Central Plains. I don't treat you as outsiders, so why do you treat me as outsiders? ”

"When I was in Jiangnan? It was decided that the Annamite people and the Japanese people were all of the Chinese ethnic group and belonged to the Chinese and Han ethnic groups. This treatment? There are no natives in Nanyang, and neither do the Fanren in Haidong. Are you really outsiders? Won't I treat you as slaves? ”

Shao Erxin said: "The minister is shallow and ignorant, and he doesn't know the lofty heart of the Sacred Heart. Since we are not outsiders? Same kind of text? Then it's time to return to the mother state? Do Xia Min again. ”

Li Luo smiled, and Shao Er Xinzi finally came to the road. Or rather, the man has matured.

"Then tell me, how to return to the mother country and become Xia Min again?" Li Luo looked at Shao Er Xinzi with burning eyes.

Whether Shao Er's trust can be used depends on his next answer.

His fate and future are in his own hands.

Senior Shao Erxin took a breath and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, most of the people on the island have no surnames, please give the people surnames under your Majesty's edict." Please Your Majesty again, give the minister the surname Han! ”

Li Luo wanted to laugh. Well, yes, this young man is really not stupid, he has a future.

"This..."Li Luo pretended to think about it, and said left and right: "What do you think?" ”

Wu Yan and Xiao Bei and other generals said together: "Your Majesty, Shao Erxinzi's invitation is very good, and the ministers agree. ”

"Okay." Li Luo nodded and thought for a while, "Pen and ink!" ”

After a while, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were prepared, and Li Luo brushed and wrote 100 characters, but it was a hundred common Han surnames such as "Liu, Wang, Zhang, Chen, Yang, Zhou, Zheng, and Wu".

But there is no Li, because Li is a national surname and cannot be given indiscriminately.

In this matter, the vast majority of Japanese people do not have surnames, only simple names. It's not that they don't want to have a surname, it's because the nobility doesn't allow it.

The five-year colonial rule of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty almost emasculated the Japanese culture, and began to be Hu. This is the best time to speak Chinese. And Japanese culture is already sinicized, so it's easier.

After Li Luo finished writing, he said to Shao Erxinzi: "Post the counties, let the county officials take their names according to their household registration, and remake Huang Ce of household registration." If there is a surname, it should also be changed to a Chinese surname to show unity. ”

"As for you, I will give you the new name Qin Xin. From now on, you will be called Qin Xin. ”

"Minister, Qin Xin, thank Your Majesty for the name!" Shao Erxinzi's heart is full of mixed gratitude.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and besides, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Hey, that's all there is to it. I hope that the Shao Er family, no, the Qin family can continue to remain wealthy.

In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck, and the young Erxin became Qin Xin.

The Tang Lord's "Edict on the Surname" was issued, and the people were happy. Because they were not qualified to use surnames in the first place, later generations knew about the Meiji era, and it was only because the emperor issued the "Commoner Miao Character Permission Edict" that gave them the right to use surnames.

And now, the Tang Emperor allowed them to have a surname, how could they be unhappy.

What is unhappy is that there are a very small number of people who originally had surnames, and these are either descendants of the Chinese or samurai. But under the rule of Meng Yuan, the surviving ones have long since become ruined, and many of them have even been reduced to slaves before.

Now, even if they are dissatisfied, it is useless.

At the same time, Li Luo ordered this year's tax exemption to provide relief to the victims and resume production, which immediately further won the hearts of the people. In the hearts of the people, compared with the nobles of Mengyuan, the Tang Emperor is simply a saint.

At this time, the people at the bottom of the Japanese country did not have much national consciousness, and they recognized whoever was good to them. As for the Kingdom of God Yunyun, the Emperor Yunyun, what is that, can you eat it? Besides, the kingdom of God has long since died, and the emperor has long since gone. Even the shrines that were everywhere at the beginning are gone.

Satsuma Province, which was changed to Natsuto Prefecture, the former guardian office has long since become a prefectural government. After Mengyuan County Ling and Dalu Huachi were suppressed, they were replaced by officials from Tang Guolai.

The county order is the township official from Tang Guo, and the county lieutenant (county police captain) is also a police officer transferred from Tang Guo. There are only the county and the main book, and they are Japanese. The newly appointed Xiangzheng Muramasa is also Japanese.

Of course, they are no longer Japanese, and they have all been changed to the Han ethnic group and belong to the Huaxia ethnic group.

The county leader of Xiadong County was originally called Harada Liren, who was originally from the Chinese nationality, and later became a slave of Mongolian nobles and suffered for several years. Because he was proficient in Sinology, he was selected as a county leader.

After the "Edict on the Surname" was issued, Harada Toshihito chose the surname Liu because his ancestor Liu Azhi was the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Not only him, but many Chinese surnames are descendants of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and they themselves know this.

It is no secret that most of the Chinese ancestors are from the Central Plains.

Now that he has changed his surname back to Liu and recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, Liu Liren is even happier.

As soon as Liu Liren returned to the official office from outside to preside over the relief, he was invited by the county officials to the county magistrate's office.

"The prefectural magistrate." Liu Liren saluted Lu Juanyi, the county commander, "I don't know what to do with summoning officials." ”

He is very fluent in Chinese and has a Central Plains accent.

Lu Juanyi pointed to the cushion in front of the case, "The county officials sit down." The official is just asking what is going on in this case of so-and-so believers returning to the laity. ”

Lu Juan Yi was a jinshi in the first year of Hongwu, and after passing the examination, he was awarded the Jiupin Xiangzheng. After a few months as a township, he was selected as a military officer and easily became a county magistrate of Qipin.

Liu Liren sat down and said: "The county magistrate, when the Tartars were there, the newly built temple in this county forced the people to take refuge, and also robbed many women to enter the temple, which is a great crime. ”

"After the arrival of the king, although the master of the Semu Temple was corrected, many people who were forced to take refuge were deeply deceived by so-and-so, and still insisted on believing in it. The lower officials burned a certain scripture and forced them to convert, but who knew that they took advantage of the unpreparedness of the lower officials, and even set themselves on fire and burned thirteen people to death! ”

Lu Juan Yi said with an unhappy expression: "These people are really ignorant, they have been forcibly converted for five years, and they are so stubborn!" ”

Liu Liren smiled bitterly: "This matter is very important, and it must be reported." The county magistrates said that the officials were derelict in their duties, so that many people set themselves on fire and died......"

Lu Juan Yi waved his hand, "You don't know the Holy One, how can the Holy One blame it?" Besides, the official is not going to put the blame on you. As soon as the official got the news, self-immolation also occurred in neighboring Jianzhen County. This matter is definitely not one or two cases, and the Holy One will not depose us because of this matter. ”

"There is only one thing, the Huaxia people must not believe in so-and-so, and they can't touch it! If anyone dares to take refuge, they will be punished for disobeying the king's law. ”

Liu Liren understood that the saint must be very jealous of the people converting to so-and-so, and did not tolerate it at all. Also, it is indeed intolerable to do so-and-so.

"County magistrates, the saint has made great contributions to the people, and all places are praising the arrival of His Majesty's saint into the world, shouldn't he be honored?" Liu Liren said suddenly.

The Supreme One? Lu Juan Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately his heart moved. yes, why didn't you think of it? It's really dark under the lights.

On the eighth day of the second lunar month, Qin Xin (Shao Er Xinzi) and a group of civil officials jointly played, please give the Tang Dynasty Emperor the title of "Great Benevolence and Holy Emperor".

The generals who followed Li Luo's expedition were stunned. What, can you still be honored? It's not their fault, they are all military generals, most of them come from humble backgrounds and don't understand this operation.

So, why did Tang Guowenchen Wen Tianxiang and Zheng Sixiao and others give Li Luo the title of honor?

It's very simple, the Wen family, the Zheng family and others are more reserved, and they didn't have time to take the initiative to give Li Luo the honorific title, and they actually let Qin Xin and others, who had newly returned to the Tang Dynasty, take the lead.

Qin Xin and others asked, saying that this was the case with public opinion. The generals of the Tang Army who came to their senses also followed suit, so after Li Luo resigned, he could only accept it "helplessly".

As a result, Li Luo became the "Great Benevolence and Holy Emperor".

However, when the Emperor of Great Benevolence and the Most Holy Emperor heard the report about self-immolation, he was "not at all benevolent."

The emperor decreed that those who want to self-immolate should be forbidden to convert to so-and-so, and those who want to self-immolate should be respected!

The way of heaven is what should be believed, and the Tang Dynasty takes Taoism as the state religion. If you do not believe in Taoism but believe in so-and-so, you are disobeying the king's command.

Then, the emperor issued an edict to build the Five Great Dao Temples and appoint Taoist officials. He also issued an edict to open a rural school and adopt the unified teaching materials of the Tang Dynasty, just like the Tang system.

On the 10th day of the first month of February, Li Luo ordered Zhang Yong to lead an army of 10,000 people to cross the sea to Shikoku Island, recover Shikoku, implement the same policy as Kyushu Island, and collect a population of more than 320,000.

On the 25th, Li Luo issued an edict to change Shikoku Island to Donghai County and set up six counties.

At the same time, 10,000 recruits were recruited in the three counties, and 10,000 Tang troops were left to defend it. The surrendered Goryeo Army and the Han Army were also screened and incorporated into the Tang Army.

After that, Li Luo led the army to leave Kyushu Island and drove towards Honshu Island.

The Yuan army on Honshu Island suddenly fell into a panic.

…………

Just as Li Luo was passing through Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, the Yuan court envoy Adali finally came to Gangneung.

Although the Tang and Yuan dynasties were enemies, the envoys of the Yuan court came openly, and the Ministry of Rites still had to receive them officially, which was a rule for thousands of years.

The two countries exchanged troops, and they did not cut them off.

Saying that Adali has gone all the way, the more he looks at it, the more frightened he becomes. He never imagined that the south would become so stable, that everywhere was peaceful, everywhere was full of vitality, and it was very different from before.

Pseudo-Tang, must not be underestimated!

On the first day of the second lunar month, the envoy of the Yuan court was received by the regent Cui Xiuning at the court meeting.

"The Great Yuan Dynasty's envoy Adali has seen the queen." As if no one was next to Adali, he made a chest salute in the main hall, and said to Cui Xiuning, who was high up.

He did not call himself the queen, nor did he call himself a "foreign minister", which seemed extremely arrogant and rude.

He was a little surprised that the famous demon queen in the outside world turned out to be such a young and beautiful woman.

The ministers of the Tang Dynasty all glared angrily.

"Bold! Seeing Her Majesty the Queen, dare not kneel! "The military department Shangshu Dulie was the first to attack.

Wen Tianxiang said coldly: "Adali, although Yi Di doesn't know etiquette, but as an envoy, are you so rude?" ”

Others also rebuked and even wanted to take Adaali.

Suddenly, the five-year-old crown prince Li Zheng pointed to Adali and said in a crisp and immature childish voice: "Bold Tartar!" If you don't kneel when you see your mother, aren't you afraid of death! ”

Adali was also shocked that the pseudo-Tang prince was so aggressive.

Cui Xiuning looked at Adali coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Adali, what are you doing here?" ”

She had already received an envoy from the Yuan court to discuss peace.

Negotiate peace... All right. Let's discuss.

Adali turned a blind eye to the reprimand of the Tang Dynasty of the Manchu Dynasty, he raised his head arrogantly, looked up at the Tang Dynasty Regent, and said in a stiff tone: "Queen Tang, Adali came to the south because of the kindness of my family's sweat, and came to talk with you about peace." This Tang King is not here, can you take the idea? ”

Cui Xiuning's eyes narrowed, "Peace? I naturally got the idea, but you can tell me about the peace conditions given by your Khan. ”

As soon as the generals heard about the peace talks, they suddenly became a little anxious.

Seeing that Cui Xiuning seemed to be very interested in the peace, Adali immediately became even more arrogant, "Of course, it is the sincerity of the peace negotiation that is called the minister's tribute, and the two countries will benefit the Tang king, are you or not?" ”

Cui Xiuning bowed slightly, "Oh? That's just as well. How much is the tribute? ”

Adali sneered in his heart. Hmph, what a demon queen, it's really just a woman with empty skin.

"Every year, Huang Cancan drops 100,000 taels of gold, 1 million taels of silver for white flowers, and 1 million stones of new grain that year.

Meaning, such a large amount of tribute is still the mercy of the Great Khan. If it is not merciful, how much?

Cui Xiuning smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

What the?

Many ministers were anxious, and only a few people such as Wen Tianxiang smiled.

Adali smiled.

But I heard Cui Xiuning say: "Go back and tell your family Khan, Ben Hou agreed." Every year, you pay a tribute of 100,000 taels of gold, 1 million taels of silver, and 1 million stones of grain, and they will be delivered in Yangzhou. Well, since your Great Khan wants to be a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, then every year, several festivals, including the birthdays of the Tang Emperor and the palace, you all have to congratulate the Tang Dynasty with the power of your courtiers..."

What the? What did she say?

Who comes first and who is the minister?

Adali is not stupid, why didn't he know that he was played by the pseudo-Tang Queen?

With a sound of "boom-", the courtiers of the Tang Kingdom burst into laughter, and they all looked at the envoys of the Yuan court with foolish eyes.

Many people are ashamed. How can you worry that the queen will promise to pay tribute? Silly.

Adali's big cake face turned iron-blue, he coldly glanced at the pseudo-Tang Dynasty minister who was pointing at him and laughing, and then looked at Cui Xiuning who was smiling, and said dryly: "Have you thought about it?" That's your answer to Da Yuan? ”

Cui Xiuning sneered: "Of course this palace has thought about it." Go back and tell your master that it would be better if you were to pay tribute according to the covenant. If there is a shortage of one or two gold and silver, one stone of grain is missing, and one less congratulatory watch, hum, don't blame the Tang Dynasty for the Northern Expedition! As soon as the army arrives, it's too late to regret it! ”

Ada almost laughed out loud.

"Queen Tang, you are very brave." Adali gave a thumbs up, "Do you know, now, Da Yuan is the Great Mongolia, the Great Mongolia is the Great Yuan, our tigers and wolves are like scorpion tigers, not to mention there are hundreds of thousands, just the cavalry's whips can be piled up into a big mountain bun, do you know?" ”

"Still fighting the Northern Expedition and Dayuan? Have you ever seen the power of a real Mongol army? Every time you kill the officers and soldiers in the south, most of them are Dayuan's partial divisions, and you haven't learned that Dayuan's family soldiers (main force) are powerful! ”

Cui Xiuning said coldly: "Adali, your mouth is very hard. Wait for the Tang Dynasty to hit Dadu, I hope Li and your master are still so confident. ”

Adali knew that there was nothing to talk about, he snorted coldly, gave a perfunctory chest salute to Cui Xiuning, and turned around to leave.

"Hahaha!" The Tang court's monarchs and ministers suddenly laughed regardless of etiquette.

The queen's mother is so relieved, she purely played the envoy of Meng Yuan once.

"Silence!" In the imperial history, Li Yang raised the wat board and said, and the hall was suddenly silent.

The Imperial Historical Observatory has the responsibility of maintaining the etiquette of the court.

Wen Tianxiang came out and said: "Your Majesty, it is already February now, the battle of the Japanese is very smooth, and Hai Song does not dare to provoke, has the edict been issued to open the imperial examination?" ”

Cui Xiuning nodded and said, "Accurate." On the ninth day of March, state exams are scheduled to be held in the states. "The Tang country's lifting examination is not called the township test, but the state test, and the time is March. The Jinshi examination is not called the general examination, but the national examination, and the time is September.

Scholars can be officials, but they can only start from the tenth grade, and they are generally mostly rural teachers, and they cannot hold official positions above the third grade. Jinshi is the beginning of the ninth grade.

Cui Xiuning said: "This imperial examination should be more formal. Anyone with a bad background is not allowed to refer to it. Lin Qing, the political hall selected the examiners of the fourteen states and reported to the palace for review. The relevant exam questions will be selected by the main palace itself. ”

Lin Bi cited the enumeration wat and said: "Obey the decree of Yi! ”

Yang Hanming, the newly appointed left minister of the political affairs hall, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the General Administration Department has received a recital from Queen Aya of Bagan, saying that the hearts of the three million people of Bagan will return to the Tang Dynasty, and the whole country will be attached to it, and it will be a state of the Tang Dynasty. Please, how will the imperial court reply? ”

This matter has been reported to Cui Xiuning a long time ago, and the reason why it is raised today is actually a procedure for the publicity of major policies, and the object of the report is Cui Xiuning on the surface, but in fact it is all the courtiers above the fifth grade.

The purpose of this is that if there is something wrong with the monarch's decision, so many courtiers must have someone who can point it out and correct it in time.

Cui Xiuning said: "No! After the rejection of the reply, the palace uses the seal. ”

"Yes!" Yang Hanming said.

The so-called "not allowed" is, of course, false. This is something that all ministers know very well.

When the Queen of Bagan plays again and asks for the return to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will "reluctantly" accept the annexation.

This is a procedure that cannot be saved.

After retiring from the dynasty, Cui Xiuning returned to Longzhang Palace, guarded Shi Coral to report, and the Phoenix townsman begged to see him.

"Pass her in."

"No!"

Wearing a court dress hard, she looked more mature, she entered the palace, and bowed down meticulously: "The Marquis of Phoenix has worked hard, meet Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Flatten, seat." Cui Xiuning said lightly. In all fairness, she doesn't like people like hard work very much, and the reason why she takes good care of her is because of Xin Qiji's face.

Hard work is very relaxed in front of Li Luo, but in front of Cui Xiuning, he doesn't dare to be casual.

"Xie Niangniang." Hard work changed to a close name. She sat down in a ladylike posture and said straight to the point: "They won't do it for the time being, because His Majesty has not returned."

Sure enough, I had to wait for Li Luo to come back before I started.

Cui Xiuning stood up and looked at the big tree outside the hall.

If someone sneaks out of the tunnel under the big tree in the middle of the night, they can rush into the main hall in ten seconds.

If you don't know about the other party's conspiracy, you may be assassinated.

"What is your mission? Inquire about the news in the palace? Cui Xiuning asked.

smiled bitterly: "Niang Niang Shengming, just to find out the news in the palace." Also, poison Your Majesty and Niangniang if necessary! Even, let the ministers seduce Your Majesty, and then..."

Cui Xiuning sneered: "Originally, I wanted to spare their lives, but now they don't want to live." ”

Said hard: "Please show me." ”

Cui Xiuning said: "You only need to do one thing, which is to promote them to open a secret and make them merge......"

smiled very brightly, Cui Xiuning's strategy was also what she had thought of.

It is to take this opportunity to give them the opportunity to twist into a rope, so that all the forces that secretly oppose Tang are "united".

And then... One pot end!
