In the evening, Yu Wenwen returned to his residence in the port, and the shopkeeper Cui, who had been waiting for a long time, was relieved to see him and a few people returning safely. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This time, the shopkeeper Cui personally escorted the ship south, in order to trade glass mirrors in Bazhou, from the mouth of the Yellow River to Jiankang, this sea route to the waterway he also walked a few times, the same departure month, the first few times were safe and round, only this time there was an accident.

The sea route is dangerous, even if you sail along the coastline, you have to watch the sky to eat, so when you encounter a big storm, you will accept your fate, but it will not stop when you land, and the shopkeeper Cui pondered if the rumors are true?

"Shopkeeper Cui, is there anything wrong with my face?" Yu Wenwen did not call himself "Bengong" or "Benguan", what he prevented was identity leakage.

"Huh? House... Yu Langjun is distracted. ”

"Well, today's incident happened suddenly, which frightened the shopkeeper Cui, and the one who was... Well, anyway, the government of the Japanese state said that from tomorrow onwards, priority will be given to the supply of wood, and people will be sent to help, and there will be a treasurer to repair the ship. ”

"Yu Langjun, please rest assured, the Japanese official has sent someone to contact us not long ago, and we have made a list of the required materials, and the progress of repairing the ship tomorrow can be accelerated."

Yu Wenwen nodded, and after talking for a while, he returned to his own collapse, Cui shopkeeper sighed softly, and walked around, if he really wants to explain in the sea, then he will accept his fate, but if this one is gone, the owner will not be able to explain to the imperial court.

Although it is "sneaking", but this person must have left a letter, others dare not say, at least his father-in-law Angu County Lieutenant Chi Shun must have it, if Yu Wenwen is just gone on the way south with the ship, they have a big business in Yecheng, and the monk can't run the temple.

Of course, sailing is not child's play, and there is no way to do it if there is an accident, but the shopkeeper Cui is worried about the other side.

It is rumored that this newly promoted Duke of Yi Guo has something to do, his luck is not an ordinary evil door, and he has been in Yecheng for a few months, and he has tossed a lot of things, not to mention the grievances with the second son of Xi Biluo, the governor of Xuzhou, the key is that he can meet the Sui army when he goes on patrol with the emperor.

This time, the fleet set off to the south, and before leaving, Yu Wenwen came to the door to "sneak", and the shopkeeper Cui weighed again and again and obeyed the other party's arrangement, and did not dare to make a noise or make any ideas, according to the original plan.

The glass mirror with super high profits can only be made by Yuwenwen, if this is successfully sent back to Shannan Bazhou, then the future business will be safe, Cui The shopkeeper weighed the pros and cons and felt that this risk was worth taking.

Well, everyone is harmonious and wealthy, and it is nothing for the fleet to go south to bring dozens of people to come, and the coastal voyage is really wrong, and you can always escape a catastrophe when you dock, but you are swept up by a storm, and you inexplicably come to the Wa country in the east of the Heishui Ocean.

There are more than a dozen ships, and now there are only four left, and the remaining goods on the ship are not enough to buy a mirror, but the shopkeeper Cui is not worried, the personnel have suffered heavy losses, and the bereavement pension will not be a small amount.

As long as you can arrive in Bazhou safely, this is not a problem, the shopkeeper Cui is just worried about whether he has the life to leave the country, just a few days after landing, Yu Wenwen and his party clashed with the local forces, what a troublemaker!

It's still a while before the ship is repaired, is it really okay?

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Cui stopped, turned around and asked, "Is there anyone in the sailor who can speak Japanese?" ”

"There is no one who is proficient, but a few people can listen to it."

"Transfer these people out and follow a few Lang Jun to act as generals, so as not to have any misunderstandings with the Japanese people again."

"Yes."

。。。。。。

At night, Yu Wenwen lay on the couch, thinking about the previous conversation with Sima Da and the others, and slowly found useful information from some words, and wanted to perfect the 'evil' plan.

In this era, the Wa Kingdom was not a highly centralized state, but was actually composed of small countries formed by various tribes, and then the Yamato Kingdom grew in strength, and after the efforts of several generations of kings, it was proud to be subjugated by other countries, which was regarded as the creation of the Yamato era.

Of course, Japan has never had a centralized court like the Central Plains, similar to the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the Central Plains, there was a nominal co-master, that is, the Great King, who was later renamed the Emperor.

The powerful clans Su I clan and the Monobe clan are similar to the big families of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, and they control the government and are cronies everywhere, and as the king of the Wa Kingdom, they are careful to play a balance between the various wealthy families and important ministers.

The Monobe clan should be the representative of those old wealthy clans, these wealthy clans developed by the tribe naturally resist centralization, and as a king, they naturally tend to centralize power, and the two sides will inevitably have contradictions.

If the king wants to centralize power, he has to rely on the emerging aristocracy, such as the Su I clan, but it is unrealistic to directly lift the table, so he can only knock on the side drum and dig the foot of the wall, and religious belief is the starting point.

The belief in clan gods, which evolved from the beliefs of various tribes, eventually formed the Shinto faith, and the Shinto worship gods and gods included not only the ancestral gods of the emperor's family, but also the clan gods of the central and local noble clans.

Shinto represented the authority of the Great King (Emperor) and was the spiritual pillar of the old wealthy clans such as Monobe clans, who on the one hand needed to rely on the authority of the Great King to achieve their own political goals, and on the other hand they were themselves followers of traditional Shinto.

Shinto beliefs represent the interests of these wealthy clans, but it is different for the emerging Su I clan, according to the words of Sima Da and others, Yu Wenwen judged that this clan has a close relationship with the people of Walai.

I can't figure it out, the Soga clan itself is a Watarai clan, so I don't have much interest in Shinto beliefs.

The dispute between gods and Buddhas, to put it bluntly, is a power struggle between the old and new wealthy families, and the issue of religious belief is a symptom of political conflict, and the attitude of the king of the Japanese kingdom towards this is very ambiguous and makes people think deeply.

Tentatively allowing the Buddha statue to build a Buddhist temple, and immediately destroying the Buddha and burning the temple when encountering some problems, this is a rebound from the old wealthy family; It is said that the grass should be cut down and the roots should be eradicated, but Su I was allowed to believe in Buddhism himself, and according to the fashionable saying, "there must be something strange in it".

It is to leave a seed and wait until the conditions are right to germinate, of course, if the conditions are not suitable, then continue to make seeds.

After all, the core of Shinto belief is the worship of the Great King (Emperor), and the so-called legitimate right of the Great King to rule the Kingdom comes from the myth and legend of the arrival of the Shinto Heavenly Sun.

As a descendant of Amaterasu, the emperor is the representative of Amaterasu in the human world, and is the god of the present people, and the characteristics of Shinto belief are the characteristics of Shinto belief in "the unification of the god and the emperor" and "the unity of the eternal lineage".

But as the ultimate beneficiary of Shinto beliefs, it seems no different from digging a corner of oneself, and even a little absurd, but from the perspective of power struggle, it is clear at a glance.

The reason is simple: centralization.

Use the Soga clan and other emerging wealthy clans to suppress the old wealthy clans such as the Monobe clan, and then take the opportunity to take power from the old wealthy clans, and wait until the heat is almost there, and then kick away the Soga clan, which threatens the Shinto faith and the status of the king.

Throw it out as a scapegoat, appease the anger of the old wealthy clan, give an explanation to his Shinto followers, and of course, the power in the hands of the Su I clan will also be withdrawn by the way, all for the purpose of centralizing power.

To put it bluntly, Buddhism and the Su I clan are just a tool, a tool for the great king of the Japanese kingdom to fight for power and centralize power, which can be used when needed and thrown away when it is used up, which is similar to a night pot.

Pull one faction to fight the other, and then throw the thugs out, as a scapegoat to calm the anger of the public, so that the strength of the two factions is greatly damaged, and they hate each other, and the one who "arbitrates" in the middle becomes a good person and reaps the benefits of the fisherman.

Typical imperial power, so the king of the Wa Kingdom may not let Buddhism develop, to a certain extent will interfere, and once again support the old wealthy clan to deal with the new wealthy clan, and the situation of worshipping Buddha and rejecting Buddha may appear repeatedly.

Therefore, Yu Wenwen's previous whimsical idea of trying to use Buddhism to plague the Wa Kingdom is really not so easy to operate, and without strong continuous investment, this plan is basically no different from utopia.

Does he have that strength? No, at least not yet.

Now it is still huddled in Shannan Bazhou, there is the tiger of the Sui State on the outside that has not been killed, and there is a hidden danger of the Wei Chi clan inside and I don't know when it will break out.

Isn't it too much to worry about world peace when you can't eat enough?

Yu Wenwen doesn't think that people always have to have a thought, anyway, there is nothing to do in this ghost place, so he just has to be ill-intentioned: whether to do it or not is a matter of ability, and whether to do it or not is a matter of attitude.

Transporting Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues and even monks who are interested in propagating the Dharma to come to the Japanese, this thing is not difficult to prepare, the difficult thing is the problem of navigation, the Tang Dynasty Jianzhen monk crossed to Japan and tossed six times before succeeding.

If you really can't do it, I'll do it seven times, anyway, I'm going to toss you! If you want to blame God, a gust of wind blew me to the Wa Kingdom, this is the will of God! (To be continued.) )
