Chapter 1421: General Zhengyi
Luo Cheng took a sip of lamb wine and said with a smile, "It's been drying for a few days, it's urgent." β
"It's also a little interesting to say, this queen of the widow actually made a request, saying that she was willing to let their ruling minister Su I Mazi stay in the Great Qin Dynasty to serve the saint."
"The Queen's uncle? All four daughters are married to imperial concubines? β
Wei Zheng nodded, and he said, "That Su I Mazi is a powerful minister of the Wa Kingdom, and he has established several Wa kings, and he is powerful in the Wa Kingdom. Although this king is the niece of Su I Mazi, it is obvious that he wants to get rid of him, so he wants to borrow my Daqin's knife to kill people. β
How could Daqin's knife be so easy to borrow?
Emperor Yun said lightly, "I remember that this time, didn't Su Ma Zi also pick a daughter who is said to be the national color Tianxiang, and asked the queen to canonize a princess, saying that she wanted to dedicate it to me?" β
"Well, let the queen be accepted as a righteous daughter and change her name to Atsuhime, it is said that she looks really good. However, there is no shortage of women in my Daqin, no matter how beautiful the country is, and the saints do not love beauty. β
The wine made by steaming with fat and tender lamb gravy and glutinous rice has a unique taste, fat but not greasy, and this wine is not strong, but it is like drinking a kind of soup.
Luo Cheng took a piece of beef jerky, the five-spiced beef jerky was exposed to the wind and sun on the grassland, the appearance was as hard as iron, and the texture was firm. Tearing hard, you can still hear Slala's voice.
Throw the other half torn off to Wei Zheng.
"Thank you, saint."
"Hmph, Pi." The relationship between Luo Cheng and Lao Dao, which is really incomparable to other Zai, continued to tear the next one and threw it into his mouth, chewing slowly, very chewy, and the more he chewed, the more flavorful it became. "A don't want to get out of the copper mine, they are too naΓ―ve. I guess this queen must know that this is just a temptation for her. β
Wei Zheng also chewed beef jerky, Lao Dao's teeth were not bad, and he chewed very vigorously, "What is the sage's plan for the Japanese Kingdom, do you really want to let the armed merchant ships keep plundering like this?" β
There was also a lot of controversy between the DPRK and China, and some people thought that they should fight directly and destroy the Wa Kingdom in the same way as they destroyed Baekje. Some people also believe that Baekje is still a peninsula extending from Liaodong after all, and it is easier for the imperial court to destroy the remnants of Goguryeo and then destroy Baekje, and that the destruction of Baekje will be very helpful for the imperial court to firmly conquer the old land of Goguryeo and control Silla. However, the Wa Kingdom is different, the Wa Kingdom is very poor, all large and small islands, and the Wa people are also relatively strong, and it is estimated that it will not be easy to conquer like Baekje.
Now that Baekje has not yet settled, how can there be time to fight the Wa Kingdom, and even if Baekje establishes a stable rule in his homeland, the next target should be Silla on the peninsula.
Luo Cheng chewed on the beef jerky and explained, "The previous permission for the maritime merchants to plunder the Japanese state was also a lesson to the Japanese people, putting pressure on them, and at the same time restraining them so that they could no longer send troops to interfere in Baekje. Now it seems that the effect is very good, the Japanese people are clamoring on the surface, but now they can't even beat our maritime merchants in Daqin. β
Of course, the maritime merchants did not really directly attack the Japanese state, but adopted the tactics of raiding and harassing and plundering, landing along the coast everywhere, attacking the east and west, and leaving after robbing, which made the Japanese very helpless.
"The king really wants to change the current situation, and is willing to make compromises and concessions, and I am very happy. However, one other son of the copper mountain is definitely not enough, I will destroy the Wa Kingdom sooner or later, but it is impossible to move south for the time being. β
"That is, continue to harass with maritime merchants, and weaken the enemy?"
"Not enough."
The Emperor shook his head.
Luo Cheng said with a smile, since the Japanese want to ask for peace, then pretend to be willing to do so first, and take the opportunity to openly knock him a few times.
"You can talk to the Japanese people first, and put forward a few requirements first, first, the Japanese country will be changed to one of the provinces of my Great Qin, which is Dongying Road, and consists of Chikushi County, Iyo County, Dongying County and Kanto County. I can confer on Etabe the Duke of Dongying County, the envoy of Dongying Province, the general of Zhengyi and the Taishou of Dongying, and the title of Wawang can be retained. β
"Second, in the future, Dongying Dao will implement the legal system of Daqin, implement the Juntian order, the two tax system, and the government military system, which is a feudal town of Daqin, and its status is like Jiangdong Dao, and the imperial court can send officials to serve as envoys and county officials."
"Third, the outer islands of Tsukushi should all be under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, including Tsushima, Iki, Goto, Hirado, Amakusa Islands, and the Nagasaki Peninsula."
"Fourth, the mining rights of the Bronze Mountain of Iyo Mountain and the Stone of Dongying are the mining rights of the Silver Mountain, and I want it."
Wei Zheng was a little surprised, the emperor only wanted to build a small island on the periphery of Purple Island, and add two mines?
"Not demanding, huh? I don't think it's high, it's better for them to think about it than directly asking the Japanese to cede big islands like Tsukushi and Iyo. β
The Emperor said.
"Sage, isn't it a little higher to give the status of the Wa Kingdom Domain?"
"Step by step, as long as the Wa State agrees to make my Great Qin Domain, then we can do a lot of things, first soften their confrontation, and then we can build military ports in Tsushima, Hirado, Nagasaki and other places, send troops, and establish a trading port, this is the forward base for attacking the Wa State when the time is ripe in the future."
"Besides, those two mines are not legends, they are really two rich mines. There is only one Iwami Silver Mountain, using the latest soot blowing method of the Imperial Interior Province to mine silver and smelt silver, and you can get one million taels of silver a year, and the situation of Beizi Copper Mountain is similar. These two mines are harvested, and the silver and copper can be counted by then. β
"Oh, the minister understands, dealing with the Wa State is the same as dealing with Shen Faxing, first let him surrender as a feudal town, then spread the net on all sides, deploy on all sides, and then start from the outer islands, and finally wait for the time to be ripe, and then destroy it in one fell swoop."
"That's right, so as long as the Japanese are willing to agree, we can now let him go first, and completely prohibit the maritime merchants from plundering the Japanese again, let's change the looting to trade and do business with the Japanese people, as long as the Japanese people let go of trade, they will definitely not be able to get us, and then it will be a complete deficit, and their gold and silver will all flow into our Great Qin, and then their strength will be weaker."
This is really a bloodless murder, a great power method.
A small island country, it is indeed impossible to confront a big country, especially now Daqin is not only a big country across the sea, he has also arrived at the door of the Wa State, just across the strait in Baekje, the trade and merchant ships of the Wa State can come at any time, the more contact, the more the Wa State will be invisibly sucked blood, and eventually die of blood.
"Wu Zheng, you explain my conditions to the Queen of the Japanese and Su Ma Zi separately, and by the way, I will mention to Su Ma Zi that the Queen of the Japanese wants to leave his uncle in the Central Plains to enjoy the blessings."
"The saint is trying to divide them."
"But I'm telling the truth."
Wei Zheng hehe, "What does the sage expect to happen?"
"It doesn't matter what happens, if the king of the Japanese makes the first move, then I will still grant her those official titles, but if the Su I clan strikes first, I will grant him the position of the general of Zhengyi. He can also go back and set up another puppet king, and accept the canonization of my Dongying County Duke and Dongying Jiedu Envoy. β
This means is really high, if the emperor's conditions are only for the king to choose, there may be bargaining, but now that the emperor is offering a price on both sides, then the king of the emperor and the Su clan will be an endless situation, in order to be able to get the support of Daqin, then any conditions can only be accepted.
"That minister will first congratulate the saint here, and then add a four-county to Daqin, and expand the territory!"
