Chapter 293: Stirring Up the Storm
Chapter 293: Stirring Up the Storm
It is surprising that the small Korean Peninsula is also a meeting of storms and clouds, and it is extremely surprising that the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje also produced talents around 200 AD. What Chen Long didn't expect was that his trip to the north this time would stir up the entire northern turmoil, and the major warlords were interlocking, and even alarmed the three countries of the Korean Peninsula that seemed to be far away. In fact, the Korean Peninsula, the Cheongju Peninsula, and the main island of Itsu Province in Japan are all dominated by fishing and hunting at sea, and the sea distance is not far away, and there have long been intersections and conflicts.
Now the news of the turmoil in the north of the Han Dynasty has also spread across the sea to the Japanese archipelago, which is still in a semi-agricultural and semi-primitive state.
At that time, there were more than 100 large tribes in the Japanese archipelago, large and small, and after a long period of invasion and annexation, there were still more than 30 large tribes left, which began to claim the country in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. And the names given at that time were very strange, what Tsushima country, Molu country, Minu country, ghost slave country, dog slave country, and so on.
According to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, the Japanese liked to drink wine, indicating that their planting industry was still relatively developed at that time, and they already had surplus grain to make wine. In the history of Japan, this period is called the Yayoi culture, and the introduction of Chinese rice to Japan changed the way of life of the Japanese people, and some scholars once said, "Rice saved the hungry people of the Japanese archipelago." ”
They also learned from the Han to grow some other crops, such as flax, and also planted mulberry and silkworms, and if there was flax, they could be woven into coarse cloth; There is silk, and it will also be woven into a more gorgeous silk.
The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Wei Zhi has set up a biography for the Japanese people, which records in detail the history of the Japanese society equivalent to the Three Kingdoms period. Starting from the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, the book records the general situation of a series of small countries in the Japanese archipelago and the customs and habits of the Japanese people.
Judging from the historical sources, the content of "The Legend of the Japanese People" is by no means based on rumors or unilateral descriptions of the Japanese themselves. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei was located in Obifang County on the Korean Peninsula, and was responsible for monitoring the movements between the three Koreas and the Japanese kingdoms for a long time. In the first year of the first year of the reign (240 A.D.), Lieutenant Commander of Obifang County Ken Lieutenant Tsui Jun also arrived in the Japanese archipelago and canonized Queen Himiko as the Wa King. It can be seen that the Cao Wei regime should have possessed relatively accurate information about the Japanese state. It is likely that the text in the "Legend of the Wa People" was written by Cao Wei officials after personal investigation, and its records objectively reflect the situation in the Japanese archipelago at that time.
Queen Himiko's deeds of quelling the rebellion of the Wa Kingdom are a very famous fragment in the "Legend of the Wajin". Originally, the Wa Kingdom was a loose conglomerate of power consisting of many small states, such as Tsushima, a major (branch), Suru, Ito, and Fumi. The center of this consortium is located in the Yamadai Kingdom, which is also known as the Queen's Kingdom, where Himiko reigns. Before the Himiko period, there were also male kings in the Wa Kingdom. Due to the constant wars between the various political powers at that time, the Japanese kingdom was in a turbulent situation for a long time. In the end, the countries unanimously elected the queen Himiko with the color of witch blessings to govern, and the internal situation of the Wa kingdom gradually stabilized.
After taking power, Himiko on the one hand set up a "big rate" in the Ito country that was feared by all countries to supervise the countries; On the other hand, it took the initiative to integrate into the East Asian world system constructed by the Chinese dynasty and was canonized by the Cao Wei regime. This series of domestic and foreign policy moves was effective, and Himiko not only established a strong leadership position at home, but also gained strong support from the Chinese dynasty in the face of conflicts with other regimes in the Japanese archipelago.
Located in the southern part of the Yamatai Kingdom, the Dog Slave State was not included in the Commonwealth of Japanese Empires, and the two countries were in constant conflict. In order to alleviate this situation, Himiko did not choose to continue to use military means, but turned to Cao Wei for help. In the end, the Cao Wei regime stepped forward and sent an envoy carrying an edict, a yellow building, and a special trip to admonish the king of the dog slave country. The edict represented the supreme will of the Chinese emperor, and as a military document, it carried the connotation of military threat.
In fact, Himiko skillfully exploited the political and military influence of the Cao Wei regime in the East Asian world to suppress the confrontation of the dog slave states. It was in the course of frequent contact with the Chinese dynasty that the Wa state continued to grow and evolve from a loose conglomerate regime to a unified state.
Although the Yamadai Kingdom has also had men as kings in successive dynasties, after sixty or seventy years of war, they have installed Himiko as the queen. Himiko is good at confusing the people with ghosts and gods, and although he is very old, he is not married, and only his younger brother assists the government. Since Himiko became king, no outsider has ever been able to see her, only a thousand ladies and a man who delivered food to the palace.
In 238 A.D., Himihu sent an envoy to meet Emperor Cao Rui of Wei. Emperor Wei gave Himiko a purple ribbon gold seal engraved with the words "pro-Wei Wang", and several gifts, including 100 bronze mirrors. The Yamatai Kingdom had always been at odds with another dog slave kingdom ruled by a male king, and she specially sent an envoy to the Wei State again to ask for help. Emperor Wei sent an envoy to express his support for the Yamatai Kingdom, but the Dog Slave Kingdom did not seem to care about Emperor Wei's inscriptions. During the long war, Himiko died. The Yamatai Kingdom established a male as the king, but the country caused great turmoil, so it had to once again support the female "Taiyo" of the Himiko clan as the queen, which quelled the civil strife.
In 326 A.D., Taihe sent an envoy to China again. At this time, the Three Kingdoms era had ended, and the Jin Dynasty was dominant. After that, the Yamatai Kingdom disappeared from China's history books.
The location of the Yamatai Kingdom was located on the island of Kyushu in later generations, and according to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, the Wa Kingdom or Yamatai Province was located in the northeastern part of Kyushu Island in the Japanese archipelago. Yamatai is a transliteration of Yamato (Japanese Yamato).
The officials of the Yamatai State are divided into seven levels from the central to the local. Officials at the central level are composed of Da Wa, Da Yuan, and Da Doctor. Da Wa manages the market, and most of them are the supervisors who inspect the localities, and the doctors are the assassins.
The government revenue of the Yamatai Kingdom is composed of grain paid by the lower households, and the economy is composed of paddy field agriculture and handicraft industry. Externally, Beimi sent Cao Wei to envoy Cao Wei, who was named the pro-Wei king, and internally concentrated on fighting against the dog slave country. And those small countries that did not accept the rule of Yamatai were close to Wu.
In the early days of the Yamatai Kingdom, a man was the king, but due to civil strife, a woman was appointed as the king, named Himiko, and the land of Yamadai was the capital, and there was a younger brother to help govern the country. At this time, the Yamatai Kingdom was actually the leader of more than 30 Wajin countries, and the Himiko Queen's Kingdom had relative dominion over the other countries.
Himiko had set up a large number of officials in the Ito country to inspect the kingdoms and collect rents from other nations under the supervision of the Great Wa. After Himiko's death (c. 248), he was appointed as a male king, but due to the disobedience of the country, the daughter of Himiko was reinstated as king, and civil strife began.
At this time, rice cultivation and iron tools have been introduced from China, and the inhabitants planted rice and ramie, raised silkworms and mulberry, seized twine, and made silk brocade and silk. Weapons with wooden bows and iron axes. In terms of exchange, it is already a "state-owned city". In society, there is a difference between adults, lower households, slaves and maids, and raw people. The adults have four or five wives and are the rulers of the upper class, while the lower families have two or three wives. There is a clear difference between the status and dignity of the two. But Shimoto was not a slave. Slaves and maidservants and raw mouths are of a slave nature.
The Yamatai Kingdom was well connected with the Wei Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period of China, and the two countries frequently traveled through Obifang County. Since the second year of Emperor Jing of Wei Ming (238 AD), the envoys sent by the Yamatai State to Wei Shu and Fang County have reached four times, and at the same time give Shengkou, Wajin, beads, bows and arrows. The State of Wei also sent envoys to the Yamatai Kingdom twice, and named Bei Mihu as the king of Wei, gave him a gold seal and a purple ribbon, and named his minister as a general of the good Zhonglang and other titles, and offered brocade silk, bronze mirrors, pearls, etc.
Under the interaction of Chinese and Japanese cultures, the social, economic and cultural development of the Yamatai period has been greater, and the rudiments of writing have appeared, while China has introduced the textile, printing and dyeing technology of the Yamatai Kingdom, so that the Chinese clothing has a trend of diversification and diversification.
Even according to the Yamatai Kingdom in Yamato and Kyushu, Himiko is the Empress of the Great Han Dynasty.
The Dog Slave State is located to the south of the Yamatai Slave State, and is the only country that is not attached to the Yamatai Nation. The king of the dog slave country is named Beimi Gonghu, and the real power of the country is in the hands of an official named Guzhi Beigou. The Dog Slave Kingdom and the Yamatai Kingdom have always been at odds, and there has always been a conflict between the two countries.
In the eighth year of Zhengshi (247 AD), the queen of the Yamatai kingdom, Himihu, sent Zaisi and Wuyue as envoys to Cao Wei to state the situation of the war between the two countries, hoping to gain the support of Wei. However, Emperor Cao Fang of Wei only sent Zhang Zheng, the history of Sai Cao Peng, to his country with the edict and the Yellow Tower, and did not participate in the war. The Dog Slave State ignored the edict of the Wei State. After Himiko's death, the war between the two countries continued.
The Dog Slave Kingdom is located south of the Yamatai Kingdom, but the geographical location of the Yamatai Kingdom has not been determined due to the disputed geographical location of the Yamatai Kingdom. The mainstream believes that the dog slave country is located in Higo Province, Kikuchi County, or Kuma County, and other places. Another view is that the dog slave country is the bear attack in the Nihon Shoki.
After being suppressed by the Yamatai Kingdom, the Dog Slave Kingdom was forced to flee eastward, and gradually developed into the later Yamato royal power, and gradually formed the later Japan.
The Japanese people live in the southeast sea of the Obifang and rely on the mountains and islands for their country. From the coastal counties to the places where the Japanese lived, it was necessary to sail through Korea for a long time, and it was necessary to pass through Korea, go south and east, and reach a country called Dog Evil Han on the north shore of the Japanese people, and then walk more than 7,000 miles to the horse country of the Japanese people.
Equestria lives on a very deep and distant island, with more than 400 miles of land in front and back, and the land in Equestria is very dangerous, with a lot of woods, and the roads in Equestria are like the kind of paths that birds and deer walk.
From Equestria, he went north and south, and crossed the sea more than 1,000 miles south. To the Lawa people, a country called Hanhai. There are more than 300 miles of state-owned land in Hanhai, there are many bamboo forests and woods, there are more than 3,000 households, and there are planting fields in Hanhai country, but the food grown is not enough for the locals to eat. After crossing a sea again, and then to the country of Molu, there are more than 4,000 households in the country of Molu, relying on the mountains and the sea to live, the vegetation of the country of Molu is very lush, walking in the country of Molu, walking on the road can not see the people in front of them, like fishing, no matter whether the water is deep or shallow, they dare to go into the water to fish.
Five hundred miles to the southeast land, it is the Yin capital of the Japanese people. The distance between the slave country and the Yin capital country in the southeast is no more than 100 miles, and further south to the Yamatai country, which is the capital where the queen of the Japanese people is located. And at this moment, the queen is listening to the news from Obifang County.
