Chapter 0388 - Millions of Mouths

Everyone walked into the camp, and at this moment, there were all Han soldiers around, if Cao Cao wanted, he could kill them at any time, he admired the courage of this king in his heart, Tai Shi Ci knelt in the middle, Cao Cao sat on his side, the king also sat on the other side of Tai Shi Ci in a good way, and the maid stood behind him, bowing her head tightly.

Tai Shi Ci called the translator to him, made him stand beside him, looked at the king, and asked, "You are the king of the Yamatai Kingdom?" ”

The translator translates immediately.

The man nodded and said, "I am the king of the Yamatai Kingdom..."

"What is your relationship with the Japanese slaves?"

"We... We have been at war with them for many years..."

"How many people do you have?"

"One king, hundreds of doctors, tens of thousands of households, hundreds of thousands of raw mouths..."

After the translator truthfully confessed, Tai Shici was a little stunned, and asked with some doubts: "Shengkou?" ”

The translator said, "Slaves too! Tai Shici turned his head to look at Cao Cao, his eyes were full of shock, the whole country is a slave? What an ignorant system this is, however, he didn't say anything, but asked about some other things about the other party, in this place that is generally called a widow, there are hundreds of small countries, and Yamatai is the strongest among them, of course, this is what the other party said, Tai Shici is not sure.

In these countries, the enemy of Yamatai is the slave country that once visited the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and there is also a country called the dog slave, which is really not too Shi Ci to scold people, but this country worships the dog god, so in the original name there is the meaning of the dog obeyer, and the translator directly translated it as the dog slave country, these two countries have always been enemies of the Yamatai.

According to their king, they have not been able to completely destroy the Japanese slave country, it is because of the existence of the Great Han that their king still retains the golden seal of the Great Han, and when the Japanese slave country went to the Great Han, he was the most powerful in the entire Japanese country, and he brought back the news of the Great Han and some things that the Son of Heaven of the Great Han gave him at that time.

These things made many small countries of the Wa Kingdom understand in their hearts that overseas, there was an incomparably strong big country, and the entire Wa Kingdom was not as good as the land under the jurisdiction of a doctor on the other side.

They were still preparing for the court to meet the Han Dynasty, but they didn't think that the Han had sent someone over first, so they also respectfully visited the Han general, Tai Shici chatted for a long time, and understood their thoughts, turned his head, looked at Cao Cao, and asked with a smile: "Cao Cao thinks, how to behave?" ”

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, looked at the servant girl on the other side, and said coldly: "Send them out, and then kill them directly and slaughter Yamatai!" ”

Suddenly, there was a panicked look on the maid's face, and she quickly hid it again, but this could not hide from Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Cao looked at the translator, the translator's face was a little strange, looked at the king, and said, "You can go back..."

The king smiled, nodded, and was about to get up, but the servant girl directly stretched out her hand, pressed him down, raised her head, looked directly at Cao Cao, and said: "Because I don't know the general's situation, I concealed the general, and I hope the general will forgive me!" ”

The translator was taken aback, even Tai Shi Ci was stunned, with Cao Cao, Tai Shi Ci always couldn't figure out the situation, Cao Cao laughed, the "king" immediately stood up and stood behind the maidservant, Cao Cao stroked his beard and said, "You are the queen of Yamatai?" Or the Queen Mother? Where is the king? ”

"The minister is called Himiko, and she is the queen of Yamatai." The queen said.

Cao Cao looked at her with some suspicion, looked at it for a moment, and then said with some disdain: "It is actually a woman in charge of the country.....", looking at the relatively young and ordinary-looking woman in front of him, Cao Cao did not hide the disdain in his heart, and he was not angry, he lowered his head and said nothing, Cao Cao asked her to sit down, and she sat opposite Cao Cao.

And the fake king was driven out by her, according to what she said, she was in the country, she would not meet any man, there were only thousands of palace maids around her, and the eunuch just now, this time it was to respect the prestige of the Han Dynasty, so he came in person, Cao Cao did not fully trust her words, thought for a moment, and said: "Do you want to meet the Son of Heaven and accept the golden seal?" ”

"Exactly! The minister is dedicated to Han! ”

"How many subjects do you have?"

"Thirty subject countries, only the dog slave country and the Japanese slave country do not obey the order..."

"Well, well, I came on this march, not to disadvantage you, but to open up business.... If you have the intention of meeting the Son of Heaven, I can take you to Luoyang, but before that.... You still need to help me with a few things..."

"It's okay for Cao Gong to say...."

"Send people to those small countries, let their kings all come, I will communicate with the entire Wa country, not you and Yamatai.... Even if it is the country of Japanese slaves and the country of dog slaves, you can also call me...."Cao Cao ordered her a lot, and this ended the meeting, and Himiko left here very respectfully, and invited Cao Cao to go, Cao Cao was not afraid, and left Tai Shici to take care of the ship, so he took a thousand soldiers with him.

Tai Shi Ci also wanted to send more men and horses, but Cao Cao refused, asked him to take care of the surrounding ships, so he and Himihu went to their royal city, walking on the road, Cao Cao constantly observed the surroundings, Yamatai has a lot of arable land, are mainly paddy fields, they will plant rice, but also know how to raise silkworms and mulberry, weave hemp silk brocade, most of the soldiers' weapons are wooden bows and iron arrowheads, in trade, they have achieved the national market.

It's just that among their population, there are a lot of slaves, slaves are called shengkou, a subordinate household can have two or three shengkou, not to mention doctors and the like, these shengkou are extremely short, dark-faced, and godless, and are plowing the land, and their masters are holding long whips, patrolling around, as long as someone relaxes for half a minute, they will be beaten severely.

Cao Cao looked at the scene here, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

Rushed to their royal city, their royal city is called Yamatai City, although this city is not as large as a large county like Luoyang, but it is the same size as the county seat in these areas of the Lelang Belt Party, and the number of people has also increased, after seeing the queen's frame, these doctors and the lower households hurriedly visited one by one, and the way they met was also somewhat similar to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty.

The queen returned to the palace, Cao Cao was personally taken to the palace by her, Cao Cao looked around, and said with a smile: "I am a man who has entered the palace for the first time?" ”

The queen smiled and said: "That's not the case, the ministers can enter, I still have a younger brother, and I am in charge of the government, only among the palace boudoirs, there is no male child." ”

"En..." Cao Cao nodded, the queen randomly summoned the ministers, that is, the big widows in each country, the so-called great widows, that is, similar to the princes of the Han Dynasty, and the queen is the co-lord of these great widows, this queen is a very capable queen, she set up an official position called the big rate, and went to various countries to supervise and collect taxes, in her heart, she has always wanted to completely integrate many and unify them.

It's a pity that the situation of the countries is not something she can change, although the current Yamatai is strong, it can't beat the coalition forces of the rest of the countries, at the banquet, Himiko intentionally revealed his thoughts to Cao Cao, Cao Cao understood what she meant, she hoped that the Han could help her and unify the entire Wa Kingdom, Cao Cao pretended to be drunk, pulled the palace maid around him to laugh, and ignored Himiko.

That night, Himiko sent three palace maids to serve Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao was a little tired, he lay on the bed, frowning, thinking in his heart, if the Han Dynasty wanted to trade with the Wa State more conveniently, then naturally, a unified Wa State would be better, everything had a system at all, and it would not run around among the hundreds of small countries and make a mess, but if it was to integrate the Wa State, then you had to worry that the Wa State would become strong and prosperous, which would pose a danger to the eastern part of the Han Dynasty.

This is different from Donghao, according to Himiko, the population of the Wa Kingdom is more than one million, Cao Cao felt in his heart, it should be about two million, of course, there are one million people in the Dahan Yang County, but in Donghao, Sanhan area, the Han population is less than one million, if the Wa State fully introduces various technologies of the Han Dynasty and civilizes it, it is possible to pose a threat to the eastern region, especially the Sanhan region.

What's more, if you want to help Yamatai integrate the Japanese state, the Han will send troops, no matter how strong the Han is, it is impossible for all those small countries to surrender, there will be a war, and the war will consume the military strength of the Han Dynasty, which is also certain, but if the Japanese state is integrated, similar to the three Hans, and then set up a state minister, constantly suppressed and weakened?

They don't see Shengkou as human beings, so can they bring these Shengkou back to Samhan and enrich the population there, because there are a lot of fertile fields in Sanhan and Donghao today, but they suffer from a lack of population, and if they bring too much of it, will it have any impact on the local area? Cao Cao has a lot of things to think about in his heart, and in this foreign trade, he no longer simply focuses on the other party's copper, iron, gold and silver.

He took a fancy to the other party's abundant raw mouths, and according to the other party's attitude towards raw mouths, he was afraid that it would be extremely easy to exchange, but if he wanted to control this place under the influence of the Han Dynasty, the coastal naval army of the Great Han Dynasty must be very strong, and it must be the kind of military strength that the other party cannot catch up with in a hundred years, so that Cao Cao can help Yamatai unify the Wa Kingdom with peace of mind.

However, it is useless for Cao Cao to think about it, he can't decide these things by himself, these things still need the consent of the fat man in Luoyang City to be able to carry out, even at night, Cao Cao is also extremely cautious, in this foreign land, he can't be careless, including those soldiers he brought, they are also patrolling in batches, and they dare not have the slightest relaxation.

At the door of Cao Cao's bedroom, there were two Han soldiers standing, patrolling back and forth, admiring the strength of Cao Gong in their hearts.

As early as after Cao Cao fell asleep, Himihu summoned the ministers again to discuss the matter of sending envoys to the countries, she looked a little worried, frowned, and said: "No matter what, let them come, even if you send money, you must let them come..."

"Why should the king be so worried? If they don't come, it's just right, we can borrow the hand of the Han to destroy them, especially the dog slave country and the Japanese slave country, if you want to come, they will definitely not come, and when the time comes, we will use the Han to destroy him..."The minister said a little excitedly, and the rest of the ministers also nodded in agreement, they have deep contradictions with these two countries, if they can let the big Han help them clean up each other, it would be the best.

Himihu said with some annoyance: "You are stupid, although they are enemies with us, but they are also one of the Japanese countries, and now the Han Dynasty is coming, but there is no land, if we are obedient, he will not be able to occupy the land of the Japanese country, and encroach on it step by step, but if it is, these other countries do not come, but it gives him the reason to march, if he leads the army to occupy it, that land, will it not become the bridgehead of the Han army?" ”

Hearing Himiko's words, those ministers came back to their senses, their eyes were full of worry, and some ministers asked worriedly, "If they don't come, what will be good?" ”

"Send more envoys, whether they kill or fight, send envoys one after another, they will always have doubts in their hearts, even if they don't come, they will definitely send people to come.... Alas...."

In fact, as Himiko had predicted, many small countries, after seeing Yamatai's repeated invitations, also sent their ministers to participate, and as for those small countries led by Yamadai, their big widows came in person, and among the countries, only the southern dog slave country, a country that worships the dog god, did not accept Yamadai's invitation.

Although the Japanese slave kingdom was also not good with Yamatai, when they heard that the Han general was coming, they immediately got up and went to Yamatai, because they were the only ones in the entire Japanese kingdom who had been canonized by the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and they had a golden seal, and they were the vassals of the Han dynasty overseas, and they were definitely going to come, and their king personally led all the ministers to come to this enemy's kingdom.

In his heart, he was extremely anxious about the matter of the dog slave country, if this country did not come again, he was afraid that Cao Cao would use force against him, and the place where the dog slave country was located, along the coast, bordered many small countries, even Yamatai also bordered him, if the Han Dynasty occupied this place, it would definitely have an impact on the surroundings in the future.

She didn't know that Cao Cao had such an idea in his heart from the beginning, even if he wanted to help Beimihu unify the Wa Kingdom, the Han would also occupy one of the lands and garrison troops here, so that he could control the situation of the entire Wa State and continuously strengthen the influence of the Han on the Wa Kingdom.

At this time, the king of the Wa slave kingdom rushed to the Yamatai country and asked to meet Cao Cao, Cao Cao received the king in the Yamatai palace, only to see this person wearing Hanfu, with the crown of the princes, with a gold seal on his waist, after seeing Cao Cao, he stepped forward and bowed: "The minister of the Han Dynasty, the king of the Wa Huyi, meet the general!" ”

"Oh? Are you Huyi? ”

"The minister is yes, the ancestor of the minister was canonized by Emperor Xiaoguangwu, and the era is the king of the wo!"

"Hahaha, your elegant words are not bad..."

"The Son of Heaven once bestowed on the ancestors "Poems", "Rites", "Yi", "Spring and Autumn", and our descendants have studied them tirelessly... Let the general laugh..."The king of the Japanese said with some excitement, Cao Cao nodded, glanced sideways at Himiko, and understood in his heart why she was able to know Yayan, it turned out that the Han scriptures had already appeared and circulated in this Japanese country...
