Chapter 124: The Prophet of Himiko

As early as thousands of years ago, in ancient times, silver was discovered and mined by humans. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and around the Neolithic period, silver was already used to make ornaments in China. From the Warring States period to the end of the Han Dynasty, whether it is silver mining and smelting, or processing and production technology, it has reached a very high level. However, it is a pity that China's silver ore resources are scarce, and it is difficult to circulate as a currency for a long time, which has led to copper coins becoming the mainstream currency and circulating among the people for a long time. However, for China, which is also not rich in copper resources, this is still very stressful.

In particular, a few years ago, in order to compete with the people for profit, Dong Zhuo privately minted a large number of small coins with very low copper content, which turned the economy of the Han Dynasty upside down and was on the verge of collapse after entering the market. The people's suffering is even worse than before, and it has completely ruined the last trace of vitality of the Han royal family.

Hungry people are everywhere, hungry people are like locusts, the entire Han Dynasty has fallen into a huge chaos, how can the two states stay out of the matter?

The overwhelming disaster victims and locusts that came from all over the world made the two states, which were once full of vitality and faintly visible a hint of prosperity, also panicked for a while, and the people's livelihood was unstable.

How to nip in the bud the uncontrollable disaster that may come at any time? It's nothing more than money and food. Han Jun doesn't have the ability to turn stones into gold, but he can turn stones from other mountains into money from his own country.

Nearly 100 silver miners who came with the army soon dispersed and burrowed into the vast mountains. If they are not familiar with the place, the danger is certain, but they originally ate this bowl of rice, and the salary given by Han Jun is very expensive, so no matter how dangerous it is, they must be hard-headed.

Han Jun did not stay in the slave country for too long, and his soldiers were very fast, and countless classic examples have proved that blitzkrieg is often the way of war with the least battle damage and the greatest results.

Therefore, Han Jun previously ordered Tai Shi Ci to strictly guard against it, to avoid leaking the news, and to let the Japanese people of Yamatai be on guard. He didn't care about resting, so he re-boarded the warship, led the army, and sailed towards the Yamatai Kingdom at full speed.

Compared with the fragile slave country, according to intelligence, the Yamatai country is undoubtedly a difficult bone to gnaw. Although it has just come out of the chaos of nearly a hundred years, under the rule of Queen Himiko, the development speed of Yamatai has been very fast, not only bidding farewell to the primitive settlement life of slash-and-burn farming, but also desperately absorbing science and technology from the Western Han like a sponge.

Himiko's attention and love for the "Watari people" once made many Japanese people fight passionately. However, as time went on, the opposition became less and less, and finally it was almost none. Because, the vast majority of the Japanese people have realized the importance of "crossing people" to them.

The highly civilized "Dulai people" greatly promoted the development of the Wa Kingdom and greatly improved the agricultural civilization of the Wa State. Among the more than 1,100 surnames of the ruling class of the Japanese kingdom compiled by later generations at the beginning of the 9th century AD, more than 300 surnames were derived from the "Walai people".

The Japanese people are a people who are good at learning and absorbing, they fear the strong, learn from the strong, and they have a terrible wolf nature in their bones, which makes them even more terrible.

Leaving Tian Yu with 2,000 sharp soldiers to preside over the overall situation in the slave country, the fleet of the Youhe Navy Division galloped away in the direction of Yamatai after the wind and waves.

Time is money, and time is life.

It is rumored that Han Jun, who knew how to use witchcraft and crossed over, naturally didn't believe it. But as the so-called Zi Bu is strange and confused, after experiencing the unbelievable crossing event himself, Han Jun has begun to look at all the incredible things in this world with a skeptical attitude.

If Himiko didn't know sorcery, how could she be like Wu Cao and end the troubled times of the Wa Kingdom and ascend to the throne? How could it be that at the end of the Han Dynasty, when the average life expectancy was only thirty or forty years old, he lived until he was over 90 years old before returning to the West?

Therefore, this woman can't afford to be underestimated.

Thousands of miles above the blue waves, Han Jun and Xun You sat opposite each other in chess, but their minds were not on the chessboard at all. In his heart, he would always involuntarily think of the defeat of the Mongols in history.

The two Eastern Crusades before and after the Mongols ended up in a miserable end for many reasons. Among them, a very important reason is the leakage of secrets, the Japanese people got the news in advance, and organized an effective defensive position, resulting in the Mongols never being able to penetrate deep into the territory of the Japanese state to replenish supplies with war, and finally lost in the stalemate battle.

Xun You naturally saw Han Jun's absent-mindedness, smiled slightly, and comforted: "The lord doesn't need to worry too much, the Japanese people are cowardly and cowardly, and they will not dare to compete with my Han Heavenly Soldiers." This is the case in the slave country, and the Yamatai country must also be the same! ”

Looking at Xun You's confident expression, Han Jun was still playing the drum in his heart. The pride of the Han people is cultivated in the great victories of the outside world again and again. He can understand Xun You's contempt for the Japanese people in his heart, but after all, he has traveled from later generations, and he has been exposed to the cruelty and horror of the Japanese people since he was a child, and he can't convince himself to be as easy as Xun You no matter what.

Compared to Aso Castle in the slave country, Yamato Castle, the capital of the Yamatai Kingdom, looks even more short and dilapidated. However, the royal palace inside the city was built on a grand scale.

The queen of Yamadai, Himiko, is over thirty years old. But for some reason, the ruthless years have not left too many marks on her body, her appearance is like that of a young girl, fair skin, and there is no sign of relaxation, and a pretty face that can be broken by blowing can be broken, but at this time there is a thick layer of dark clouds.

Most of the people standing beside Himiko were young women like her, but there was only one handsome young man who had a somewhat resemblance to her.

The man's name is Susanoo, Himiko's half-brother, who can be called one person below and above ten thousand people in the Yamatai Kingdom, and his status is extremely respectful, but in front of Himiko's sister, he is trembling, and he doesn't dare to take a mouthful.

"Recently, everything has been going well, but I don't know why Sister Wang is angry?"

Susanoo, who was bold and confused, lowered his voice and asked curiously.

That is, Susanoo, who has a special identity, dares to ask in front of him. If it were any other person, it might not wait for the voice to fall, and the population would already be separated.

Himiko was able to be born in the cardamom years and pacify the chaos in the Yamatai Kingdom, not by unparalleled benevolence, but by decisive and ruthless means. To put it bluntly, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish. After ascending to the throne, Himiko rarely appeared in front of people, but her supreme majesty continued unabated.

Himiko glanced at Susanoo worriedly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Since I got up today, I have been extremely uneasy in my heart, and I have a strong premonition, I am afraid that the Yamatai Kingdom is about to come to a catastrophe!" ”

"Huh?"

Susanoo was taken aback, his face was full of mother's incredible expression, and his head shook like a rattle, "Impossible, how is it possible?" Since Sister Wang ascended the throne, the wind and rain have been smooth, the country and the people are safe, the earth dragon, volcanoes and other natural disasters have never been, it is a thriving atmosphere, how can there be disasters? ”

Himi sighed heavily, "I'm afraid it's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster!" ”

Susanoo was even more puzzled, scratching his head and asking, "The people who oppose us are almost dead." The rest are loyal to Sister Wang, and they definitely don't have the courage to go against Sister Wang! Where does man-made disaster come from? ”

Himihu covered his heart, frowned and shook his head, "My feelings have never deceived me. Hopefully, this time my feelings are wrong. ”

As it turned out, Himiko's feelings really didn't deceive her. Because just one day later, Susanoo rolled in front of her in embarrassment, nervously and desperately, and said: "Above the western sea, a large number of huge ships suddenly appeared, densely packed, nearly a hundred of them!"

Himihu let out a wail in his heart, stood up with a sad face, and asked sharply, "Have you ever found out, where did you come from?" ”

Susanoo's expression was even more desperate, his teeth kept fighting, and his whole body replied with difficulty like chaff: "Cong Qi judges, it should be, it should be from, from the big Han ......"

"What?"

Himiko's heart instantly sank into the valley, and the white and slender jade hand rose up with a faint pink mist, and the bright eyes gradually became dim......

The national strength of the Han Dynasty is weakened, but in the eyes of the Japanese people, it is still an invincible giant beast. A few years ago, Himiko had sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty, but due to the turbulent situation, the envoy only stayed in Lelang County for a few days before returning.

In the eyes of the Han people, Lelang is definitely a desolate and remote place. Not to mention that compared with the prosperous and rich Central Plains, even Xiangping, which is also in Liaodong, is several times better than Lelang. But Rao is like this, and what the envoy has seen and heard along the way has already made Himiko yearn for it.

Himiko has thought more than once that one day he will go to Chang'an, Luoyang and other legendary metropolises to take a look. Now, however, it seems that day is coming soon.

Taking a deep breath, Himiko forced himself to calm down, and instructed Susanoo: "Immediately organize and mobilize all troops and horses to participate in the war, the Han people are not good, and there will be a bloody battle this time." Tell them that in times of crisis, only by working together can it be possible to defend the territory and protect the territory. In addition, send envoys to the dog slave country, Yidu country, and Equestrian country to ask for help, and move it with the truth of cold lips and teeth, and know the interests of wealth, so be sure to attract reinforcements to help! ”
