Chapter 886: Raiding Korea (11)

Speaking of which, there is a very interesting thing that Japan and Korea have been learning from the Central Plains Dynasty, starting from the most basic writing, including culture, system, clothing, and so on...... However, there are also big differences in learning between the two countries.

For example, North Korea, from writing to system to all aspects of life, is almost no different from the Ming Kingdom. Of course, they have their own language and culture, but obviously, they have learned more thoroughly about the Central Plains culture. In fact, it was not until 1443 that the writing of the Joseon Kingdom was created.

Japan, on the other hand, is completely different, probably because it is an island country, and it has a natural independence from culture. Although it was also heavily influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, after it fell into Japan, it gradually became localized and eventually transformed into something unique to Japan.

The most obvious is religion. The primitive religion of Korea is shamanism, and the so-called shamanism is not strictly speaking, a religion unique to a certain place, but just a name. Because the theoretical basis of shamanism is animism, to put it bluntly, that is, the mountain has a mountain god, and the water has a water god.

This is a common religion of human beings in the primitive tribal period, characterized by the so-called totems of gods. And depending on the place, the totem will also be different, for example, most of the grassland peoples worship the wolf totem. Another distinctive feature is the witch doctor, who uses various methods such as asking the gods to perform divination and healing.

It was only with the invasion of the Central Plains civilization that the primitive religion of Korea had basically disappeared and was replaced by Buddhism and Confucianism. And this situation has continued to later generations.

The Japanese were different, their primitive religion was preserved under the impact of the Central Plains civilization, and combined with Buddhism and Confucianism, forming a complete new religion, Shintoism. And this religion has continued to the next generation.

By the way, the radiation range of the Central Plains civilization is not only Korea and Japan, but also Southeast Asian countries, northern nomads, etc., all of which are the radiation circle of the Central Plains civilization. They yearn to worship the Central Plains civilization, so they have repeatedly sent people to the Central Plains in the hope of bringing the Central Plains culture to their countries and tribes.

A little off-topic, in later generations, the Central Plains civilization can be said to have entered a rather low state, and even many ancient cultures can only be seen in other countries, which is a great sorrow for a thousand-year-old country and the origin of civilization. What is even more tragic is that the vast majority of later generations often disdain their own culture and will only blindly kneel and lick foreign countries. Perhaps, many things abroad are good, but classics can be paid tribute to, can be remembered, but if it comes to the point of kneeling and licking......

It's like the recently released Wolf Warrior 2, many kneeling and licking European and American blockbusters...... Uh, well, rip it off.

Ahem......

The Korean court was constantly arguing about whether to surrender to Japan, and the opposition, naturally, thought that Japan was merely a country, how could the great Korean state surrender to them? The reason for the pro-favor faction is very simple, surrender first, negotiate with Japan, and drag it out until Ming intervenes. Even if Japan wants to do anything by then, it will be too late.

Strictly speaking, Li Jun is still more inclined to the surrender faction, at least from the mouth of the surrender faction, he only needs to make peace with Japan to end this sudden war, and even in their mouths, there is almost no need for compensation. Because when facing the Ming Kingdom that stood up for them, the only thing Japan could do was to roll back to their own small broken island.

However, the Dongren Party headed by Liu Chenglong and others was very firmly opposed to this proposal, and Liu Chenglong believed that Japan's attack on Korea was obviously planned, and how could it be possible for the Ming State to directly withdraw its troops because of the intervention of the Ming State. Neither side could convince the other, and in the end, it once again turned into an attack on the other party.

I don't know how long it lasted, Liu Chenglong couldn't help it first, and led those rebel leaders and local generals to leave the court and rush to the city to command and defend the city. If he stays any longer, Liu Chenglong feels that he will go crazy.

And those ministers didn't care about this, and they still quarreled as if they wanted to turn the whole court upside down. But speaking of which, they can't be blamed for this, because strictly speaking, the vast majority of these people don't actually have anything other than partisan struggle and struggle for power. If it weren't for such a quarrel, I'm afraid they would have collapsed long ago.

Time flies, and as Pyongyang was captured by Oda Shinna's army, the entire Heian Road completely fell into the hands of the Oda family. However, Oda Yoshinobu didn't care too much about these places, but just sent his sons out to cooperate with the reinforcements who came to guard the places.

At this time, the entire Pyongan Province had been taken, but it was impossible for the common people of Joseon to recognize the rule of the Oda family. In fact, up to now, a large number of rebels are still emerging in various parts of Pyongan Province, and Pyongyang is about to welcome thousands of rebels in three days.

In this case, it seems that it is too difficult to send samurai such as Oda Nobumasa, who are only about 13 years old and have just entered the Yuan suit, to various places. It's just that in the face of the persuasion of Li Huamei and others, Oda Yoshinobu just said lightly, "Shinna and Shixiang have already gone out with the army at the age of 12, and since they have chosen this path, it means that they are ready to die in battle." Although they are my sons, I will not take special care of them, on the contrary, I have to treat them more strictly......"

Hearing Oda Yoshinobu say this, everyone stopped persuading, but Li Huamei and the others were still a little uneasy, okay, after all, Oda Nobumasa and the others grew up watching them, but they were all their sons.

"Don't worry, you haven't seen the combat effectiveness of the North Korean troops, as long as those boys are careful, there won't be any problems at all." Oda Yoshinobu persuaded again, but after speaking, the conversation changed and said again, "However, if something really happens, with their martial arts and the guards around them, there is no problem in escaping back......"

Oda Yoshinobu's approach sounds very cruel, after all, he is just a little doll in his 10s. But in Oda Yoshinobu's view, people are forced out, otherwise, why was Mori Moto able to assist Matsujumaru when he was more than ten years old, and to protect the Mori family in the gap between Ouchi and the Niko family, and why was Matsudaira Ieyasu able to be a hostage and finally get the favor of Imagawa Yoshimoto?

Oda Yoshinobu didn't want his sons to grow up under the protection of their fathers, although they could still become excellent samurai, but how could they grow up in stability compared to growing up in danger? It's like Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobuyuki in the past, is Oda Nobuyuki's talent really not as good as Oda Nobunaga? Not necessarily, but because of the love of his father, Oda Nobuyuki lost his wolf nature early, and was finally bitten to death by Oda Nobunaga before he grew up.
