Chapter 5 Towards Unification Section 46

The sea is very windy and rough, and March of the Gregorian calendar is the time when the sea surface near Japan is the largest, Liu Bei chose to attack the Japanese State at this time, the most important thing is to break the concept of the "divine wind" of the Japanese Kingdom: ride the wind and go straight to the Japanese Kingdom, even if the divine wind cannot bless the people of the Japanese Kingdom.

Strictly speaking, the concept of "country" was only developed in Japan at that time, and at that time there was no written language in Japan, and this history can only be explained from Chinese documents. According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. The "Legend of the Wa" pointed out: "Between Huan and Ling, the Wa Kingdom is in turmoil, and they are even more attacked, and there is no owner over the years. There was a woman whose name was Himiko...... Co-establishment is king. "When Himiko became the queen, it was in the era of Emperor Huan of the Later Han Dynasty (147-167) and Emperor Ling (168-188), and there was a male king who ruled for 70 to 80 years before the queen, so the Yamatai Kingdom was founded around the beginning of the 2nd century or the end of the 1st century. And the Yamatai Kingdom governs more than 30 surrounding countries, so this queen kingdom has the characteristics of a country.

The economy of Yamatai has entered an agrarian life. Rice cultivation is the main agricultural production, in addition to rice cultivation, mulberry, hemp, soybeans, adzuki beans, mung beans and other dryland crops. The handicraft industry has begun to divide labor from agriculture, "out of fine vines, embroidered cotton" to the silk and linen fabrics such as spotted cloth and brocade, but also to produce weapons, tools, jewelry, decoration and other handicrafts. However, from the perspective of the entire Yamatai country, there are still regional differences. For example, Tsushima has "no good land, and eats seafood to live on its own", and one country has "many bamboo and wood jungles...... There is little land, and there is not enough food to plough the fields."

At that time, the Japanese did not have needles or scissors, and the clothes they wore were still very simple. According to the biography of the Japanese people, the man "wears a banner of his clothes, but the end is connected, slightly seamless"; The woman "wears a single garment like a single quilt, wears its center, and wears its head through its head." He also said, "Men have no size, they all hide their faces and tattoos, and paint their bodies with Zhu Dan." In other words, at that time, Japanese people were like the Maori people today, and they were tattooed all over their bodies.

At that time, the Yamatai Kingdom already had a formal army to fight against foreign countries. As for the location of the Yamatai Kingdom, there are different opinions. Chinese historians argue that the Yamatai Kingdom is located in Kyushu because Japanese culture was transmitted from Korea, and Korean culture was transmitted from China. Kyushu Island is the closest to South Korea, so ......

Since there was no written language in Japan at that time, Japanese historians had no choice but to admit this statement.

Liu Hun's first attack was Kyushu, with Liu Hun's tyranny, three years have passed, and it is estimated that there are no local natives on Kyushu Island. Liu Bei knew all this, but when he landed on Kyushu Island, he deliberately did not ask about the situation of the aborigines, and instead asked: "What is the progress of the battle?" ”

Liu Hun chuckled: "Father, fighting with some tribal alliances, I can only use two words to describe it: slaughter." However, over the past few years, I have sent men to survey the whole island, and I have found that the area is extremely barren, and I have not found any major deposits except for a few coal mines. Father, this place can only be used to grow grain, my tens of thousands of troops are stationed here, and the daily consumption is very large. ”

Liu Hun said that the exploration of mineral deposits is a necessary task for every local official, and the "Mineral Chronicles" is still a top-secret data, and only one copy is in the hands of the master of the expatriate party, but this is only an excerpt from the book "Mineral Chronicles", in which the excerpts are only some ordinary metals, such as iron, copper, tin, gold, silver, etc. Liu Hun was stationed on Kyushu Island, and for several years he was a great disappointment when he searched around to collect the resources of the Japanese state.

In addition to a small amount of coal and zinc reserves, most of the main raw materials and fuels required for modern large-scale industrial production rely on imports, and the dependence is more than 80%, and only zinc is 66.9%. Fortunately, the Wa kingdom had very high gold reserves, and for a time it accounted for 40% of the world's gold mined, and then this proportion began to decline as mining was depleted.

Historically, trade between the Wa Kingdom and China was not to buy silk for porcelain, but to exchange gold for metal. According to Japanese historical records, the purpose of the Japanese raiding of China was also to rob strategic metals, and strictly speaking, Japan has always attacked China with knives and guns made of metals supplied by China. At this time, Liu Bei's purpose in controlling the Wa State was to obtain a trade franchise to the Wa State and restrict the flow of strategic metals into the Wa State.

If this is done, the Japanese will have to fight the Han nation with stones in the future.

"I know that the country is poor", Liu Bei patiently explained: "However, the occupation of our country by the Han Dynasty is like setting up a shield on the sea, allowing me to obtain strategic buffer time for Qingzhou and South Korea." In addition, although our country is poor, the land opposite our country is not poor at all, and it is the most fertile black soil in the world. ”

The land Liu Bei mentioned is the Far East, where the underground resources are unexpectedly rich, and there are more than 70 kinds of minerals that have been discovered and proven reserves. There are the world's largest diamond mines (diamonds), Russia's largest tin ore producer, 95% of Russia's tin ore resources are concentrated here, it is Russia's important gold, iron ore, tungsten ore, titanium ore, aluminum ore and oil source.

The Far East is cold, with winters lasting up to six months a year, and the mining season is short. Walking from the land, the road is difficult, covered with virgin forests, making it difficult to develop. However, by sea, Japan as a springboard, the Far East can be exploited intermittently. Even if it is not developed for the time being, the Far East will be of great benefit to future development.

Liu Bei changed the topic and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for this battle?" ”

Liu Hun's ideas are always vicious: "At present, the main crop producing areas of the Wa Kingdom are concentrated in the Jinai region and the Kyushu region, our army has occupied Kyushu, and now it is spring ploughing, my father can be stationed in Jinai, and the cavalry harasses and prohibits the farmers in Jinai from growing grain, as long as he sticks to the farming season, his father can return to China on his own without sending an arrow." The peasants have no food, and they will starve to death in large numbers this winter, so we are blockading the harbor with sea ships and forbidding them to go out to sea to fish, and those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die, and my father will be able to emigrate in large numbers at the beginning of spring next year. ”

Liu Bei nodded appreciatively: "The strategy is very good, but it's a pity that it's not practical." Since ancient times, the Central Plains has paid attention to the 'parents are not far away', and the living standards of Qinghai, Hebei, and Youyou are much higher than that of the Wa Kingdom. In my opinion, we can send sinners here for a while. In a hundred years, don't expect other immigrants here. For this reason, for those native aborigines, we must implement the 'eight characters' proposition: kill all the men and rob all the women. ”

Although there was no written language in Japan at that time, the art of rap was very developed, and those yuling and kabuki sang "Yayoi" at this time, and this era is also called the "Yayoi" era in Japan. Japanese kabuki are very popular in Korea and Cheongju, and the skilled kabuki can be sold for two gold coins each, and the money can buy food to live for hundreds of people for a year.

Liu Bei further taught: "Those young women, you can train them a little, let them sing the epic of my great man, this is also a major income for you in the future, you can manage it well." ”

At the same time, Qingzhou, the first fleets of ships that had gone down to the South Seas had returned, and they sailed as far as the Great Food Kingdom (which Liu Bei insisted on calling Persia), where they brought back 700 slaves and some of the Great Qin books, including the astronomical doctrines of Parmenides and Democritus, contemporaries of Confucius (5th century BC), which argued that the earth was spherical and that the Milky Way was densely packed with many stars. In addition, there is the 4th century BC, Aristotle's "Treatise on Heaven", in which the theory of the center of the earth was proposed. In the 4th century B.C., the ancient Greek Democritus put forward the theory of atomic rotation in the universe, which put forward the concept of atoms for the first time and laid the theoretical foundation of chemistry.

Those blonde-haired and blue-eyed Yiren didn't make a big splash in Qingzhou, but those Yiren books caused an uproar in Qingzhou: How can the earth be round? According to the I Ching doctrine that the sky is round and the earth is round, the earth under our feet should be a square continent floating on the back of a turtle. Rotundity? It's hard to understand.

Qingzhou scholars flocked to the newspaper and published comments one after another, denouncing the absurdity of the book of barbarians, and because of this, it was born a few years ago, and the Di newspaper, which had been obscure, suddenly attracted the attention of the people of Limin.

The controversy finally ended with a summary made by Guan Ning, a scholar from Qingzhou University, who solemnly warned Qingzhou scholars: "Scolding a mother is not a means of examination, and the best way to investigate the authenticity of an academic theory that cannot be identified is to investigate the authenticity of its arguments." ”

Subsequently, Aristotle's teacher Socrates' syllogism on debate and logical reasoning were translated, and Qingzhou scholars silently accepted the theory that debate should pay attention to logic and reasoning, and only scolding the mother is a kind of ignorance. The introduction of these barbarian books eventually led to the Renaissance of Chinese culture. Since then, Qingzhou has also begun to explore science and technology and life on earth, and this exploration has greatly promoted the development of productive forces.

At this time, Liu Bei was lying in the sun on the inner plain of Wa Guoji, unaware of the domestic dispute.

"Beautiful, the scenery here is so quiet and beautiful, in my old age, I hope to set up a manor here, lie on the edge of the ridge, smell the fragrance of rice, and watch the women plow in the fields."

The tradition of the Wa Kingdom, the noble man can not touch the hoe with his hand, he has to hold the sword, the people who work in the field are women, the Wa country has no tools for cutting clothes, and the women who work in the field are often naked, shaking the tattoos on their bodies, and the white ass dazzles Liu Bei.

Dian Wei didn't know how to make fun of it, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Lord, what's so good about this place?" The air is full of the smell of blood, and the ground is still shaking, sometimes people can't stand steadily, and it's not good to build a manor in this place. ”

There are an average of more than 2,000 earthquakes in Japan every year, so they are felt almost every day. But it is precisely because the earthquake is so ordinary that even under the influence of the Chinese cultural circle, Japan has never believed in the I Ching doctrine and does not believe that the earthquake is caused by human morality.

"Ah, the earthquake, I think about it, it seems that I can't implement the I Ching doctrine in Japan, it's a pity." Liu Bei turned over lazily in the early spring sun, "The blood in the air, by the way, you told the soldiers that they should be buried after killing to prevent the outbreak of the plague." Tell the soldiers that I am concerned about the survival of Japanese women......"

Liu Bei was sneering and swaying his cheap love, and a messenger from Kyushu Island hurriedly arrived and presented an urgent report: Sun Ce was killed.
