Samurai Revolution is the name of a book.

The book is not thick, only a few dozen pages, and I don't know who wrote it? It is said to have been written by a Japanese samurai who participated in the First Battle of Sriwijaya in his early years. This Japanese samurai, who called himself Banto Taro, settled in China after the First Battle of Srivijaya and witnessed the rise of the Great Zhou Republic, experienced the Great Song Restoration, and witnessed the Central Plains War and the subsequent Western Song and Eastern Song Dynasty "samurai". And the drastic changes that have taken place in the land of China in the past twenty or thirty years are called the "Chinese Martial Arts Revolution"!

The samurai revolutionized the lives of civil officials and doctors! With their blood and sword, three vibrant new nations were built.

Although it broke the situation of unification of the world since the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, any of these three "warrior countries" was stronger than the previous Great Song Dynasty, Great Liao and Western Xia combined!

This is the positive progress that comes with the samurai leading the country!

And the most enviable of them is the Republic of the Great Zhou, which is the republic of millions of Chinese warriors!

The head of state who ruled the Great Zhou Republic was also elected by millions of warrior citizens, and the sovereignty of a country did not belong to the king, but to the samurai...... As a result, the Republic of the Great Zhou Dynasty can thrive and become the world's largest power, not only dominating the Central Plains, but also being able to dominate the sea.

It's really enviable!

In his arms, he carried a copy of "The Samurai Revolution", which appeared in the markets of Hirado, Hakata, and Namba a year and a half ago.

Because the content was so wonderful that it was sensational, it soon triggered a burst of "Tang fever", and many lackey warriors who originally ignored the Tang Kingdom (China) on the other side of the sea began to open their eyes to see the world.

And this is a great sight!

"Datang" is no longer the powerful and mysterious country far away in the world, but has "arrived" the door of Japan.

Not only did he completely conquer Goryeo, but he also leased land on Hirado Island, which was attached to the island of Kyushu, and opened a trading market...... What's even more terrifying is that "Datang" also has a huge warship like a city wall on the water, and it can travel thousands of miles a day on the sea!

The ship is also equipped with a terrifying weapon called the "cannon", which, when used, can destroy the strongest of cities......

In addition, all the millions of warriors of the Zhou State had strong iron clothing, invulnerability, and wore iron clothing when they went into battle, and they were fearless.

Such a terrible power has actually arrived at the door of Japan, oh, a foot has already stepped in!

But what are those high-ranking ministers doing? What is the old and deaf Emperor Shirakawa doing? What is the regent of the Fujiwara family, Sekihaku, busy with?

It's simply at a loss!

Oh, not at a loss, because they don't plan at all, they just mess around and pretend that nothing has changed.

However, in Hirado, there is no way to pretend that nothing has changed, but there is no way to pretend that nothing has changed.

Because after the Republic of Great Zhou "leased" Hirado Island, it began to carry out illegal construction on the island!

At that time, it was said that it was a merchant city, but in the name of defending against pirates, forts and forts were built on the island, and more than 1,000 marines were stationed.

It's all samurai in iron armor! And also armed with terrible cannons and muskets.

Sometimes, huge warships enter Hirado Port and take up camp!

For this reason, Yumune Noyan protested more than once, and also suggested to Dazai Shaoji Fujiwara Ietaka that the garrison of Hizen Province must be strengthened immediately.

Otherwise, once the Great Zhou has a plan, the entire Kyushu will be taken away by them!

But his loyalty, in exchange for only Fujiwara Ietaka's stern reprimand!

The elderly Shirakawain only hopes that he can be peaceful in his lifetime, and he doesn't want to cause trouble anymore.

Moreover, the war between the Northeast and the Bohai and Ezo people was still going on, and the imperial court needed to import weapons and horses from the Great Zhou. I can only ignore what is happening on Hirado Island to the west.

But the problem is that the actions of the Great Zhou Republic are getting bigger and bigger.

Today there is a huge gunboat that is not like words!

What is this trying to do? Finally couldn't help it, do you want to poison more Japan?

The imperial court, the imperial court, the country of Japan is yours, you just don't care, don't want it?

Does Japan also have to be like the "Tang Dynasty" to have a vigorous samurai revolution?

……

When Yuzong Nengyan thought of this, he saw that the springboard of the "Toyo" had been lowered. Wu Yiyong and Chen Tianli immediately stepped off the boat one after the other. All the Zhou officials stationed in Hirado on the shore stepped forward and saluted. Then the governor of Hirado, Hua Jingyang (the son of Hua Manshan), clenched his fists and bowed his hands, and said with a smile: "Two generals, you have worked hard from afar. ”

Wu Yiyong and Chen Tianli also returned the salute with fists. Hua Jingyang smiled again: "The journey has been hard and hard, and Xia Guan has already arranged a place for the two of them in the castle. The letter from the Navy's Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of Rites has already arrived! The Governor's Mansion has already sent someone to negotiate with Dazaifu, and the two of you will soon be able to leave for Kyoto......"

Wu Yiyong and Chen Tianli came to Japan this time in the name of envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I said that I wanted to understand the war in the northeast of Japan - the war between Japan and the Bohai people was inseparable!

The Bohai people were more advanced in armament and the army was more tightly organized. However, the number of people was too small to occupy too much territory, so after occupying several prefectures in the northern part of the country, it was a little lacking in stamina and could no longer advance south.

Although the Japanese side sent Minamoto Yoshimitsu to lead the Sakato samurai to Mutsu to support the Mutsu envoy Fujiwara Kiyohiro.

However, the "iron cavalry" of the Bohai people was too strong, and the Banto samurai and the Oshu samurai were bruised and swollen. There was simply no power to expel the Bohai people from the Mutsu Kingdom. So he had to build a city to defend at a dangerous place, dragging the Northeast War into a stalemate.

In this war, which is known in history as the "Bohai-Ezo Rebellion", the Japanese imperial court actually took some measures to enhance its national strength.

For example, Muto was appointed as Mamoru Sado and was responsible for mining gold and silver on Sado Island. He also appointed Fujiwara Ietaka, the former head of the Fujiwara family, as the Dazai Shoji, in charge of "Hirado negotiations" and "weapons and horse procurement", and actively sent envoys to the Zhou and Song dynasties, hoping to benefit from the conflict between the Zhou and Song dynasties.

In addition, Emperor Shirakawain also reused the senior monk from the Great Song Dynasty as an advisor to the Shokokuji Provisional Minister, and opened the Song School Museum in Heiankyo. Linzheng came forward to hire scholars from the Song Kingdom to give lectures in Japan, not only teaching traditional Confucianism, but also teaching new learning.

However, these efforts cannot keep up with the changes of the times. With the end of the "Central Plains War", the situation in China cannot be changed for the time being.

Therefore, the three kingdoms of Zhuxia have all set their sights on development into the distance.

Japan has become the prey in the eyes of the Great Zhou Republic.

……

Heiankyo, Shirakawa-in.

Emperor Sadahito, who ascended the throne in 1053, is 73 years old this year, and although he still relies on the samurai from the north, he firmly controls the power of Japan through the Yuan Xuanhe Yuan Division.

But the double pressure from the East and the West still gave him a serious sense of powerlessness.

Japan is still in hand, but Japan is not the only country in the world......

The Japanese version of the country, which began at the end of the Tang Dynasty in China, has reached a time when it is no longer sustainable.

The Bohai pirates and the Ezo people who suddenly appeared in the east merged and landed from Mutsu Province, and have been attacking Japan for many years. Although the samurai of the north and the Fujiwara clan of Mutsu fought hard, they were still unable to win.

And the huge Chinese warships, armed with terrible weapons called artillery, were constantly roaming around Japan. It also forced Japan to open the country and forcibly leased Hirado Island.

Compared to the bandits of the East, they are even more dangerous enemies!

Emperor Shirakawa knew that the Goryeo Kingdom, which was across the sea from Japan, was bulldozed by the Zhou State!

The lessons of Goryeo's demise are vivid, and Japan is likely to be the next target of the Storm Week.

But what strength does Japan have to resist such a behemoth as the Zhou State?

Sitting in the Buddhist hall, listening to the beautiful voice of Xiangguo Temple, the emperor suddenly sighed.

The monk who was chanting the scriptures also stopped, this monk was a friend of Wu Haogu when he was a teenager, but he had his own fate and got rich and glory in Japan. Looking at the old emperor who gave him wealth and wealth, he was a little puzzled.

How could Wu Haogu make such a career?

Moreover, how did the good Great Song become what it is now?

Three points of the world don't count, and it's too powerful to say.

Not only drove away Dangxiang and Khitan, but also annexed Goryeo and Jiaozhi, and I heard that the vassals of the Great Song Dynasty, Xiliang and Xixia, still had their own careers in the snowy plateau and Tianzhu, where the Buddha was born.

And the Great Zhou Republic pointed the spearhead of expansion at Japan......

Outside the Buddhist hall, the voice of Fujiwara Hidetaka, a close minister of the court, suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Dazaifu Shogun, the Admiral Chen Tianli of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the Army Admiral Wu Yiyong have come to visit and want to come to Kyoto to meet and understand the battle situation in the Northeast." ”

"Humph!" Emperor Shirakawa snorted coldly, "Let them wait in Hirado, there is no need to come to Kyoto, I will send Taira Tadashi to negotiate with them." ”

Ping Zhongsheng was the most favored northern samurai of Emperor Shirakawa, and he was once ordered to go out to the northeast and fight with the iron cavalry of the Bohai people.

"But," the voice from outside the door was a little helpless, "but they have already set off...... It is said that he was also aboard a huge warship! ”

"What? A gigantic warship? The Emperor of the White River Temple's breath became short, and he roared angrily, "What do they want to do? Want to go straight to Heiankyo? Can't let them come over......"

"The Emperor," the monk interjected, "the poor monks can go to Namba with Echizen to meet with Wu Yiyong and Chen Tianli, and they will definitely be able to persuade them to stop at Namba." ”
