Chapter 5 Towards Unification Section 43

Seeing Liu Bei's inquiry, Zhang Liao stood up and replied loudly: "Lord Qiyu, there are 12 counties and 2 subordinate states under the jurisdiction of Youzhou, and each county mobilizes a division, which will not affect spring plowing or production. The three counties of Yuyang, Youbeiping, and Liaoxi, to which Izumo Road belongs, have been governed for a long time and can be dealt with specially. Izumo City plans to mobilize three legions, and the other two prefectures can also mobilize one legion. As long as the lord gives a call-up order, Youzhou can mobilize troops in 8 legions, about 80,000 or more to participate in the battle. ”

Liu Bei closed his eyes and pondered, everyone anxiously waited for Liu Bei's plan, and after a while, Liu Bei opened his eyes, and said while thinking: "This time, our army crossed the sea and let 80,000 people cross the sea at a time, and it seems that the shipping capacity is insufficient-especially when our large fleet goes to the South Seas.

More importantly, this conquest of the Wa State is the first time that our army has sent troops to conquer another 'country' with a separate form of government, and the old man Taishan of our division once told me that a philosopher of the Great Qin State said that the people who have not plundered other countries will not compromise. The meaning of this is to say: Conquest between nations is not only about killing and fighting, but also about learning to compromise – to compromise with the local natives, to the local customs, to the local people who have a vested interest.

This conquest should be a complete conquest, a complete conquest that includes culture, customs, ideas, and so on. The small country of the Japanese is poor, but its people have never forgotten to swallow the big with the small, and for thousands of years, they have always thought about enslaving our Han nation. I have heard that there is a saying in the Wa Kingdom: if a small insect wants to defeat an elephant, it must be poisonous enough, and only if the poison is strong, and the insect is small but poisonous, it can poison the elephant (from the classic "Fighting Victory Sutra" in the Japanese art of war book, but at this time, "Fighting Victory Sutra" has not yet appeared). Therefore, according to the Japanese people's art of war, it is reasonable to fight without declaring war, to kill the enemy completely, and to engage in all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.

Such a nation, sleeping on the side of my Han nation's couch, makes me shudder to think about it. For the long-term peace and stability of our Han Dynasty, it is extremely necessary and necessary to take down the Wa Kingdom and make the land of the Wa Kingdom become the sea shield of the Qinghai, Korea, and Youyou. Therefore, this conquest must start from two aspects, and the civil and military forces can be achieved in parallel, so the advantage of troops is not the most important thing when the army is mobilized for the first time. There are too many people, and supply logistics are difficult to do. In addition, we are waiting for the spring to mobilize troops in order to disrupt the opponent's spring ploughing action, so that the opponent will lack food in winter and weaken the opponent's strength. If we shake our foundation because of this, the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, in terms of martial arts, I suggest that at most three reorganized corps be used, and with our army's well-trained 30,000 people, there is no suspense, besides, our army and Liu Hun will meet on Kyushu Island. In the unlikely event that the enemy does not confront us head-on, and hides in the mountains and jungles to engage with our troops, then we need small armed forces to participate in the battle. After the order, our army opened up privateering, and allowed the private soldiers of the meritorious people in each county to form their own troops and horses to participate in the conquest of the Japanese state, and the privateer license was sold by the Izumo Governor's Office, and the funds obtained were compensated for the military, and the privateering was owned by himself, and the meritorious deeds were not counted in the military merits.

The purpose of privateering is to kill all the men and rob all the women. After the war, all the civilian armed forces participating in the privateering will be given fiefs according to the amount of plundered, and 50% of the land of the Japanese State will be rewarded to the soldiers participating in the war, 30% will be rewarded to the privateers, and the remaining 20% will be returned to the government.

Wen's hand, since Yuan Benchu was defeated and killed in Yecheng, Yuan Benchu's advisor Chen Lin and others have been sent to Japan by me to teach Japan the art of destroying the country, so that we can maintain peace and stability for a long time in the future. ”

Liu Bei looked around at the generals in the palace, took a deep breath and said: "Today, I am here to give you an explanation, Chen Lin and others have spent three years cultivating a group of Japanese people on Kyushu Island, after we conquer by force, these Japanese people will accept the local government and carry out slavery education for us, and the officers need to give them enough respect and cooperation."

Rest assured, they are all Chen Lin's disciples, Yuan Benchu died because of him, how to die he has a deep understanding, the disciples he taught absolutely despise craftsmen, despise businessmen, for any change, are condemned as violating tradition, do not carry out theoretical discussions, first from the other party's ancestors three generations of scolding, with the ultimate goal of elimination, with this group of people to rule the country, the technology and productivity of the country will definitely not exceed us.

In addition, I also asked them to deliberately preach the doctrine of 'five virtues and always', and to regard subjugation as a normal moral cycle, and I also asked them to preach the social order of 'three outlines and five constants', so that if the people of Qingzhou carry a stick to the island of Wakoku, as long as we promise that the king of Wa will continue to enjoy a luxurious life after surrendering, then those who dare to resist among the people will have more prestige than the king, and they must violate the 'monarch and courtiers, The social order of the father and the son must be killed to maintain the dignity of the king and maintain the social order, and the other party will not die yet, because 'the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die', if he does not die, he is disloyal.

With Wenzhi, we have brainwashed the Japanese islanders, then, our force is just a declaration of power. After all things considered, only two legions need to be mobilized as the main force in the Izumo Prefecture, and the rest of the prefectures only require the participation of officers, and this expedition to our country is a reward for their military merits, and these officers will be in charge of the plundering corps. I ask these plundering regiments to be like locusts crossing the border in the Japanese country, leaving no grass behind. ”

Zhang Liao and other generals were disappointed, thinking that this expedition was a sweet harvest, but they didn't expect Liu Bei to only be willing to use 20,000 main troops, so that whether it was military merit or looting, they would all belong to the people, and they could only share part of the public land if they conquered it.

"This, which two legions will Izumo City transfer to participate in the war? It can't be a thunder ride or a wolf ride, right? General Gao has fought for many years and made countless meritorious achievements, my lord, is it our turn to conquer this expedition. Zhang Liao said with a dumb eye.

Liu Bei shook his head: "The thunder cavalry and the wolf cavalry have been fighting for many years, so let them rest when they return to Izumo this time." The expedition of the Wa Kingdom was under the full command of Zhang Wenyuan (Zhang Liao), and the two legions of Izumo immediately began to move towards Wanghai Castle, and they were familiar with the water nature in Wanghai Castle. ”

Liu Bei stood up, pointed at Zhang Liao emotionally and said: "Capture the Wa Kingdom, the sea area between the Wa State and Korea will be named the Korean Sea, I allow you to choose a city in the Wa State and name it Zhang Liao City, and all the captured lands will be named after the generals who participated in the war, so that the good name of your group of heroes who opened up the territory will be passed down through the ages." ”

The generals were so excited that their faces were flushed, and they couldn't hold back their looks, ready to pour out their happiness with words, but because of Liu Bei's majesty, everyone didn't dare to make a noise, and they used each other's eyes to convey their excitement.

Liu Bei noticed all this, and ordered with a wave of his robe sleeves: "I don't have much time, I will go back to Qingzhou soon, prepare for Ziyi's wedding, and send officials to Luoyang...... It's time for Wenpin's Nanyang fleet to come back, and I need to go to Qingzhou to inquire about the situation. It's late at night, so go back and get ready. ”

Without waiting for the generals to leave, Liu Bei beckoned to Bingyuan Bing Genju: "Genju, in the spring of next year, you will join Wang Lie to form a criminal department and implement a separate judicial system." Now, the imperial court is not yet able to implement the Izumo law, so I ask you to immediately gather craftsmen to cast Izumo's law on bronze plaques, and when you take office next year, erect these bronze plaques on the square in front of the Qingshu trading company, so that the people of the world know that there is such a law in this world, and let them compare the good and the bad.

In addition, a bronze watch was cast with the following inscriptions:

No one can be punished for thinking alone, and the thinker is not guilty;

The burden of evidence lies with the party who states the facts, not the party who denies them, so the burden of providing evidence in criminal cases lies with the accuser, not the culprit;

When sentencing, the age of the offender and his lack of involvement in the world must always be taken into account, and the punishment is not as good as that of the young son;

The torture of force, and the fear that arises from it, is completely contrary to voluntary consent, which is the basis of a good contract, and it is immoral to allow any such acts;

The father's guilt and punishment cannot tarnish the son's reputation, for the fate of each party depends on his own deeds, and neither party may be appointed as the heir to the crimes committed by the other;

Everyone should raise their offspring, and anyone who thinks they can abandon their children will be punished by law. If a parent or guardian abandons his or her child to death, the original parent or guardian is not entitled to the child after the child has been rescued by others. For there is no reason for anyone to claim that a child they have abandoned to death still belongs to him.

Well, that's all for now, it doesn't matter whether the world understands it or not, what matters is that we must come up with a way of thinking that the world can consider whether this kind of thinking is based on the principle of justice and fairness.

After the erection of the bronze table law, don't care what the world thinks, and don't force it to be implemented according to this law, all we do is to tell the world that there is such a law in the four states of Qingdao, Hebei, Youyou, and You, and the public will evaluate whether it is good or bad, and everything should not be rushed. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Everyone said goodbye one after another, Du Bingyuan was still pondering, and when everyone dispersed, Fang Zheng nodded emphatically: "I understand......"

Tai Shi Ci didn't have his own house in Izumo, after everyone left, he was the only one left to sit on the chair, squirming and squirming on the chair, his face was red, the servants ran back and forth, tidying up the hall, Liu Bei got up and slowly paced to Tai Shi Ci's side, jokingly said: "Zhen Mi's beauty is not under Zhao Ji (Cai Wenji), I didn't expect that my two tiger generals married unparalleled beauties in the world, haha, the world's skilled craftsmen are all in Izumo." I'll give you a holiday for the remaining few days, you go to Zheng Hun and ask him to choose a few good things for you. Don't mention that he has a heartache for money, his factory hasn't given me dividends for several years, remember, only buy the expensive ones, don't buy the right ones......"

Liu Bei left Tai Shi Ci and walked to the bedroom proudly, muttering in a low voice as he walked: "Such an adult, why are you shy?" The idea is above, everyone is a captive of feelings, and no one is immune. ”
