Chapter 365: Situation in the Northeast

"Renliang, do you know anything about the Japanese slaves?" As soon as Liu Renliang arrived, Qin Feng opened his mouth and asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Slaves?"

Liu Renliang was a little surprised, this is a word, he hasn't heard it yet?

"The general is talking about Yamato?"

During the Three Kingdoms period, the queen of Yamatai, Himihu, was canonized by Cao Wei as "Wa", which was also the first time that the Yamato Kingdom was canonized by the Central Plains Dynasty.

Qin Feng bowed his head and said, "That's right. ”

Liu Renliang said with a smile: "General, I really know a thing or two about the Japanese slaves. ”

Qin Feng said with interest: "Let's talk about it." ”

Liu Ren track: "The subordinates also learned about the Japanese slaves from a Silla person, and if you want to talk about the Japanese slaves, you have to start from the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje in the northeast, in short, the country of the Japanese slaves is a nation with great ambitions and wolf ambitions, and if the general is free, his subordinates can come together one by one." ”

"Say it!" Qin Feng was far away in the Central Plains, and he did not know the situation of the Three Kingdoms in the Northeast and the Japanese slaves, and his understanding of Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and the Japanese slaves was only limited to paper.

The little devil outside the door, let him continue to cool off.

Liu Ren track: "Among the three northeastern kingdoms, Goguryeo is the strongest, followed by Silla, and Baekje is the last. My Tang Dynasty quickly rose in the Central Plains, and its power was even greater than that of the Sui Dynasty in the past. Goguryeo is very self-aware, they have made the intention of defending Liaodong, the previous strategy of westward expansion has also changed, they are no longer expanding westward, but competing with Silla for the Han River, trying to unify the three kingdoms, and then use the strength of the peninsula to compete with our Tang Dynasty. ”

Qin Feng sneered: "Is it really muddy when I am the Tang Dynasty? It's a pipe dream. ”

Liu Ren track: "Isn't that so, the Tang Dynasty is not the Sui Dynasty, and Your Majesty is not Yang Guang." With your subordinates' understanding of Your Majesty, sooner or later you will bring shame to Goguryeo, a country that brings shame to your Han nation. Speaking of this, Liu Renliang glanced at Qin Feng, he knew that this guy in front of him was also a complete warmonger, even if Li Shimin didn't have that idea, I was afraid that sooner or later he would let his son-in-law say something.

He paused and continued: "And Baekje, who has always been quiet and self-contained, is not willing to be lonely, and formed an alliance with Goguryeo to deal with Silla together, even the Yamato island country in the southeast wind of Baekje also sent troops to help Baekje attack Silla, Silla can be said to be attacked in many places, and the road to Datang is almost blocked. ”

The situation of the three northeastern kingdoms is somewhat similar to the situation of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and they all devoured the surrounding small princes and formed three larger forces. Among them, Goguryeo was the earliest and the most powerful, just like the strong Wei in the Three Kingdoms. Only by uniting together could Silla Baekje resist Goguryeo's strength.

In the face of the coalition forces of Silla Baekje, Goguryeo could not resist and allowed Silla to occupy the upper reaches of the Han River. Goguryeo also changed its tactics, no longer obsessed with unifying the Korean Peninsula, and looked to the west, Liaodong. Silla, Baekje, lost Goguryeo, a strong enemy, and began to fight among themselves, and the two sides fought fiercely around the lower reaches of the Han River.

Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje attacked each other in the absence of foreign enemies, which was understandable and expected by Qin Feng, but it was unexpected for Little Japan to intervene.

"The Japanese slaves also participated in the war?" Qin Feng is really not used to calling Yamato, there are many names in Japan, Fuso, Wa or something, it is only in recent years that they have changed an orthodox name, calling themselves the country of the rising sun. However, most people don't buy their accounts, and the name Yamato is called the country, and the name Japan is also based on the country of the rising sun.

Liu Renliang bowed his head and said: "Yamato and Baekje are not far away, and the relationship is extremely close. Especially in recent years, the Sui and Tang dynasties got rid of the suffering of the chaotic wars between the northern and southern dynasties and developed rapidly. The economy and culture have risen substantially. They seem to have absorbed the Sui and Tang systems from Baekje and transferred them to domestic use. ”

"It is their bandit instinct to steal the strengths of other countries."

Qin Feng was certainly disdainful in his heart. But we have to admit that Japan has done an excellent job in this regard, and they have been able to learn from the strong points of other countries without shame and turn them into their own, thus making themselves richer and stronger. They were able to absorb the Sui and Tang dynasties' policies from a small slave society to a feudal society, and they were able to absorb European science and technology, so as to develop the Meiji Restoration and improve their national strength, and become a scientific and technological power at that time, which is the best example.

Liu Renliang didn't know why Qin Feng was so disgusted with Yamato. But he also had the same feeling, and continued: "It is too polite to say that the robbers scolded them and defiled the beasts." They sent troops to help Baekje attack Silla. With their strong combat effectiveness, they successively captured more than a dozen cities in Silla, but after capturing these cities, they burned everything down, leaving Baekje with only an empty shell. If it weren't for Silla's Kim Yeung-shin, he decisively gave up the lower reaches of the Han River. Well-thought-out deployment. Twenty fortifications were built along the line of the Han River, and the defenses of the lower reaches of the Han River were connected in one line, so that they could resist the coalition forces of Yamato and Baekje. Silla is now oppressed by Goguryeo and Baekje, and it is extremely difficult. When we were still in Gyeongju, there were Silla people who sold ginseng in the name of the Gobaekje people, but his subordinates saw that he had a fair complexion and a pampered demeanor. It is estimated that he is an important figure in the Silla Kingdom, but his subordinates have not broken it. ”

"With Silla's current predicament, they have no other way out than to seek help from my Datang. Sooner or later, they will send someone to my Datang. When the time comes, our chance for revenge will come. ”

Liu Renliang glanced at Qin Feng and thought: As expected, the general is really obsessed with the humiliation that Goguryeo gave to the Han nation.

It's just that he didn't speak, but continued to tell Qin Feng about the situation on the Korean Peninsula in the three northeastern countries.

While Qin Feng listened, he was thinking about how to capture the greatest benefits for Datang.

The geographical location of the Korean Peninsula is not excellent, it is located in the middle of nowhere, and it has no real value except for Changbai Mountain, but it is located in the rear of the Tang Dynasty and has special strategic value. Otherwise, the Sui and Tang dynasties would not have worked hard for it, regardless of the treacherous expedition of thousands of miles.

Now the Tang Dynasty still has the intention of expeditioning to the Three Kingdoms in the Northeast, but as long as Liaodong is in the hands of Goguryeo for a day, the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo will inevitably have a war. With the fighting style of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to fight, you should take the destruction of the country as the first purpose, and do not make small fights. However, the environment of Goguryeo is harsh, and it is indeed difficult to fight. Yang Guang's fate is a lesson from the past, Li Shimin also attacked in the future, although he achieved a lot of results, recaptured Liaodong, captured Goguryeo ten percent, broke tens of thousands of enemies, and finally chose to withdraw because the climate turned cold, the grass withered and frozen, and the grain and grass did not continue. In this battle, Li Shimin also realized that the environment of Goguryeo was harsh and could not be taken by force, so he changed his tactics and relied on the captured Liaodong, mainly to attack and harass the tired enemy, and consume the strength of Goguryeo. In the end, his son Gaozong Li Zhi relied on the good situation created by Li Shimin, relied on the conquest of Su Dingfang and Li Shiji, and then destroyed Goguryeo with the help of the power of Silla.

The more Silla needed the support of Datang, the more they were at the mercy of Datang, the worse their situation became, and the more they had to rely on Datang for Datang's use.

The friend of this enemy is the enemy, Goguryeo is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and Baekje is in the same breath as Little Japan, that is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty and Qin Feng. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and if Silla asks for it one day, it is reasonable to sit idly by, and those who should help still have to do something.

As for the Japanese slaves, Liu Renliang also told all his knowledge.

At this time, the Japanese slaves were in a state of rise.

In this world, the major events in the world must be united for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time, which is an unchanging truth in any transition.

After the death of Queen Himiko of Yamadai, who was the original commander of twenty or thirty tribes, Japan inevitably fell into turmoil until the rise of the Yamato Kingdom. The Yamato Kingdom conquered the ministries and established the first unified state power in the Japanese archipelago. After the change of power, the internal attack, the disputes between the imperial court and the local tyrants, the central aristocracy and various groups also intensified, and the "Panjing Rebellion" occurred, and the wealthy clans such as Katsuragi, Hei Qunchen, Otomo Ren, and Monobe Ren lost their power one by one in the struggle.

The wealthy Soga clan defeated many hostile forces and had the last laugh, and Soga Mazi, the head of the Soga clan, formed a political group to control the Japanese military and government with the Japanese Empress Suigu and Prince Shotoku.

Su Ma Zi was in charge of the military power, and Empress Tuigu and Prince Shotoku were in power, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, resulting in a significant increase in national strength. In particular, he sent envoys to the Sui five times to learn from the scriptures, absorbing the cultural and administrative system of the Han people, which led to a substantial increase in economy and culture, and gradually moved from a slave society to a feudal society.

Nowadays, Prince Shotoku and Soga Mako have passed away one after another, and Empress Suiko is unable to do many things due to her advanced age, and the power of Yamato Province has fallen into the hands of Soga Mako's son, Soga Ezo, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition.

Su I Ezo is arrogant and arrogant, although they are only a little bit of a fart, and they are still in a semi-slave and semi-feudal society, but under the influence of Su I Ezo, they are extremely contemptuous of the Tang Dynasty, just through their contemptuous name for the Tang Dynasty "Yi Di Yuan Domain".

That is to say, even when the Japanese slaves were undeveloped and unenlightened, they could not hide their wolf ambitions and contempt for the Central Plains Dynasty.

They sent envoys to the Central Plains many times to study culture, but they did not learn the various noble virtues of the Central Plains, and learned the Yidi theory of the Central Plains.

The Han culture is extremely prosperous, with a world-famous cultural heritage and a world-famous political system, under the glorious culture of the Han people, it brings out the barbarism of the surrounding foreign races, which has always been regarded as Yidi. However, Japan understood the theory of Yidi, and regarded Japan as the center of the world with the heart of Yoro, which gave rise to Japan-centrism. Just like a copy of the concept of "Yixia", except for Japan, the others are Yidi. In their internal documents, there is a decree that refers to the "Tang Kingdom" as "Yidi", and refers to Korea as a "near domain" and Tang as a "distant domain".

Therefore, during the Sui Dynasty, the original Prince Shotoku sent an envoy to the Sui Dynasty for the first time, and he wrote in the document "The Son of Heaven at sunrise writes to the book, and the Son of Heaven at sunset is safe", directly placing his identity on the Great Sui Dynasty. In order to show the bearing of the Heavenly Empire, Yang Guang was furious, but he did not care about Japan's rudeness, and sent the envoy Pei Shiqing to Japan for a return visit. According to Pei Shiqing, when he met the Japanese emperor, "it seems very inappropriate to salute according to Japanese customs."

In fact, from the very beginning, Japan had no intention of being subordinate to the Sui Dynasty, placing itself on an equal footing with the Sui Dynasty, or even above it, and unilaterally absorbing culture from the Sui Dynasty and enriching itself, just like a beast, just unilaterally taking it, but not paying. It's just that Yang Guang was deceived by the superficial appearance, thinking that Japan sent an envoy to congratulate the court.

After that, Japan's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty was the same, they claimed to be the center of the world internally and to the people, how powerful they were, and dealt with the Tang Dynasty with a deceptive attitude. Because of this, there is such a record about Japan in the "Old Tang Book", saying that the Japanese envoy "his people who enter the court are mostly self-conscious and do not take the truth seriously". It was only because the Sui and Tang dynasties did not take Japan as a "subject country" to heart that they used all kinds of inferior methods to deceive the past.

I don't know if this Abe Irito is a member of the Soga Ezo family or a member of the Japanese royal family, but no matter what kind of person it is, it is not a good thing.

As far as Qin Feng is concerned.

As long as it is associated with the word "Japanese slave", it is not a good thing. (To be continued.) )
