The eastern capital of the fourth year of the great cause, in early spring and February, an old look has been renewed, the ice and snow in early spring have begun to melt, the city is full of vitality, the world's premier super metropolis in this era, famous for its population of more than one million, since four years ago here as the new capital of the Great Sui Empire, the eastern capital has been restored to the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty as the capital of the prosperity and style, and the newly built Ziwei palace city, in this round of Yang Guang's parade, has been further repaired, It looks even more gorgeous and magnificent, showing the indisputable authority and luxury of the imperial emperor.
But now Yang Guang's mood is not better at all, his face is sinking like water, wearing a luxurious mink skin imperial robe, he is walking around in front of the jade case in the Liangyi Palace, and the silk silk he is holding in his hand behind his back is being tightly pinched in his hand, almost crumpled into a ball.
Pei Shiju, a purple-robed servant, stood cautiously to the side, while Hongluqing Yuan Wendu was covered with sweat, and sweat dripped down his beard one by one, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it, and even the guards in the hall held their @ breath, only Yang Guang's footsteps around stimulated everyone's eardrums one by one.
Finally, Yang Guang stopped and took the silk silk in his hand in front of him again. Unfolded and quickly looked at it twice. The already locked brows were almost screwed together again. A cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he threw the silk silk to the ground heavily, and he was still angry, so he stepped on it fiercely, and roared: "The small country of Pu'er, there is no one in such eyes, I am determined to send a million heavenly soldiers to exterminate it." To vent the hatred of my heart! ”
Yang Guang's anger infected everyone in the hall, not only Pei Ju and Yuan Wendu, but even the three deaf and dumb guards all knelt down, and all those who could speak said in unison: "Please take care of the dragon body, and breathe the wrath of thunder!" ”
Yang Guang slapped his palm on the case hatefully, and shouted: "What kind of country is this, what kind of thing is it, how dare you call yourself the Son of Heaven at sunrise, and dare to say what Son of Heaven is at sunset?" Not only do you want to be on an equal footing with our Great Sui, but you also want to be overwhelmed. Even when the Turks were at their peak, they didn't dare to talk to our Son of Heaven of the Great Sui like this. Pei Aiqing. Tell me, what is this Wa country, dare to give me such a national letter! ”
Pei Shiju stood up cautiously, bent down and walked in front of Yang Guang, picked up the national book at his feet, and gently patted the dust and footprints on it, and what caught his eyes was the first line of words on the national book: The Book of the Son of Heaven at sunrise to the Book of the Son of Heaven at sunset. And Yang Guang's big footprints were stepping on this sentence, he sighed, put the national letter in his sleeve, and said: "Your Majesty is angry, for the arrogance and rudeness of this country, it is really not worth it to be so angry." ”
Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said: "I have only seen this Wa Kingdom in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and it is only a few sentences of description, I heard that they are tens of thousands of miles away from our Great Sui, and they are separated by the sea, how can they send envoys over?" And he also issued such an impudent and arrogant national letter, what is the intention? ”
Pei Shiju said respectfully: "Wechen doesn't know much about the matter of the envoy of the Wa Kingdom to present the letter of state, it was His Majesty Xià who just passed on the will, and Weichen came over, and asked His Majesty Xià to teach the reason for this matter." ”
Yang Guang said hatefully: "Hongluqing (the official position of the Sui Dynasty in charge of the Siyi tribute and the reception of ceremonial things, equivalent to the foreign minister of later generations), tell me what is going on." ”
Yuan Wendu wiped the sweat on his face, and said respectfully: "Pei Shilang, it's like this, this country is indeed thousands of miles away from the country, and it rarely comes to the Central Plains to pay tribute, but in July last year, there was an envoy named Ono Sister, with dozens of envoys, landed from Donglai, claiming to meet His Majesty, at that time, Donglai's officials did not dare to slack off, and sent troops all the way to the Eastern Capital, because His Majesty was cruising outside the Sai at that time, so this Ono girl has been living until a few days ago, His Majesty's car drove back to the Eastern Capital, He officially presented his credentials. ”
"There are very few people in our country who are proficient in the Japanese language, and I heard that the Japanese and Baekje languages can be translated together, so I still found a few officials from Baekje (the name of the country, in the southwestern part of today's Korean Peninsula), and first translated the national letter into Baekje with these Japanese people, and then translated it into Chinese, and presented it to His Majesty today, I didn't expect it to be so rude."
Pei Shiju nodded: "I see." Your Majesty, are you looking for Weichen to come over, just to learn about the situation of this Wa Kingdom? ”
Yang Guang still didn't lose his breath, and said angrily: "Who made this Hongluqing of mine not as knowledgeable as you Pei Shilang, the envoy of the Japanese State has been here for more than half a year, and he doesn't even know where this Japanese country is, and he doesn't know if he asks three questions, Pei Aiqing, you are erudite and talented, especially you have unique insights into various foreign countries, can you know the situation in this Japanese country?" I intend to send troops to attack to quench the hatred in my heart, what do you think? ”
Pei Shiju immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”
Yang Guang's eyes widened: "Could it be that this Japanese country has millions of soldiers, and its strength is stronger than that of the Turks and Goguryeo?" ”
Pei Shiju shook his head: "No, no, no, Weichen doesn't know too much about the situation in the Wa Kingdom, but Wechen knows that there is a person who is familiar with the situation in the Wa Kingdom, as long as he comes, he will definitely be able to explain the situation in detail in the Wa Kingdom." ”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Yang Guang's eyes: "What person? Actually knows more than you Pei Shilang? ”
Pei Shiju smiled slightly: "The waiter of the Criminal Department, Wang Shichong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, inspected the school." ”
An hour later, Wang Shichong stood on the Liangyi Palace, holding the yellow silk letter in his hand, looking intently, his brows gradually locked, after reading it, he shook his head gently, returned the letter to a close attendant beside him, and saluted Yang Guang: "The Japanese are really bold and arrogant, damn it, damn it!" ”
Yang Guang's mood was much calmer than when he first saw this national letter, he sat quietly behind the imperial case, and said softly: "Since Wang Aiqing said it's time to die." Did you also agree to send a large army to fight against the Japanese state? ”
Wang Shichong shook his head firmly: "Your Majesty." Never. ”
Yang Guang's brows furrowed: "Wang Aiqing." I heard Pei Shilang say, your business is all over the country, even if you have dealings with Japanese merchants, so it can be said that the Great Sui is the person who knows the most about the situation of the Japanese State, since you also said that the Japanese State should die, then why do you say that you can't crusade? ”
Wang Shichong sighed, and said with a straight face: "This Wa Kingdom has been in contact with me for a long time. It can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, the legend is that the ancestors of the Wa Kingdom are the 3,000 boys and girls that Xu Fu brought overseas to seek the elixir, and there is a legend that the Wa people are the remnants of the Wu State or the Yue State after the destruction of the country and are not willing to be slaves of the country, so they sailed out to the sea and went to the overseas Wa State, and the country established since then. ”
"During the Han Dynasty, there were hundreds of small states in Baekje and Silla, the Samhan region south of Goguryeo, and then southeast of the sea. Fighting each other continuously, their country was divided into four large islands. Among them, the westernmost one of the big islands is called Kyushu, the northernmost one is called Ezo, the largest one in the middle is called Honshu, and the one in the south of Honshu is called Shikoku, the border is about five or six thousand miles from east to west, two or three thousand miles from north to south, the location is almost in the east of Donghai County (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu), and the climate is equivalent to Zhuya, Dan'er County (now Hainan Island). ”
Yang Guang nodded: "The place sounds not small, but it is still a small country compared to our Great Sui, do they have a lot of people, and are the soldiers very capable of fighting?" ”
Wang Shichong said: "Their people, just like the kind of savages when the Wu State and Yue Kingdom were not civilized in the past, with broken hair and tattoos, and shaved heads, many of them are short, less than six feet, but they are fierce and good at fighting, and the weapons used are mainly bows and arrows, bamboo spears, swords, etc., and they are not used to battle. ”
Yang Guang's brows stretched: "In this case, this country doesn't sound so strong, if I send an army of 300,000, it should be enough to wipe them out." ”
Wang Shichong shook his head: "The Wa Kingdom is separated from our country by thousands of miles of sea, and it is extremely difficult to reach it, and the Wa Kingdom starts from the westernmost Kyushu Island, and if you come directly to my Dasui, you will often encounter storms on the way, and the ship will be destroyed and people will die, so it is difficult to communicate directly." ”
Yang Guangqi said: "There is such a thing? How did the Japanese who did business with you, and the envoy who came this time, come to my Great Sui? ”
Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Although it is not easy to come to our Dasui Island from Kyushu Island, but to the northwest to Baekje, you only need to walk a few hundred miles of waterway to get there, so since ancient times, the Japanese people have mostly gone to the northwest to go to the Baekje or Silla country, and then go north to the border of Goguryeo, from Pyongyang to the west to the harbor, and take a boat to Dongnae-gun." ”
Yang Guang nodded: "I see, that is to say, when the Wa Kingdom comes to my Great Sui, it has to pass through the Baekje and Silla countries, right?" These two countries have been closely related to them since ancient times. ”
Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "Yes, the Samhan region where Baekje and Silla are located, originally the country established by the last king after the destruction of the Suezi Joseon by Wei Manchu, and later after Jumong established Goguryeo, the two sons born to his ex-wife in the Fuyu country were at odds with another son born to a local woman after arriving in the Goguryeo region, and one of these two sons was named Wen Zuo, who fled to the land of Sanhan in the south, destroyed the remnants of the Suzi Joseon, and established Baekje and Silla, so Goguryeo, The three kingdoms of Baekje and Silla are considered to be derived from the first king of Goguryeo, Jumong, and can be regarded as the same origin of the three kingdoms. ”
Yang Guang nodded: "I also know a little about the origin of these three kingdoms, hmph, they are all countries of projectiles, and they do not obey the king, especially Goguryeo, and challenge me several times and again in the Great Sui, which is really hateful, Wang Aiqing, you say that this Wa country is so rude, it won't be instigated by Goguryeo." Will they join forces and attack my Great Sui together? ”
Wang Shichong shook his head: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that such a thing will never happen, because Baekje and Silla are now mortal enemies with Goguryeo, and Baekje Silla is now forming an alliance to jointly deal with the aggressive Goguryeo, which has been fighting for one or two hundred years in the Han River Plain in the middle of the Korean Peninsula, and both sides have kings killed on the battlefield." So they could never be an alliance. ”
Yang Guang's heart breathed a sigh of relief, although he kept blowing on his lips, saying that these were small countries, but he also knew in his heart that these "small countries" also had hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, and the people were still martial, almost without war for many years, if they really fought against themselves, it would be a real headache.
Yang Guangmian did not change his face, and continued to ask: "Is this Wa Kingdom an ally with Baekje and Silla?" Is it on their side to fight Goguryeo? ”
Wang Shichong said: "The Wa Kingdom was originally a small country, as the Later Han Book said, there are more than 100 countries, each country has a king, the war is endless, to the Three Kingdoms period, there is a queen named Yamatai Kingdom Himiko, who called herself the Queen of the Wa Kingdom, sent an envoy to Cao Wei at that time, that is also the first time that I know that there is a deposit of this Wa State in the Central Plains. ”
At that time, in the eyes of the Central Plains Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom was just a small country like those barbarian tribes in the south, and it was not taken into account at all, but the minister later checked some historical books of Baekje and Silla, but found that this Wa Kingdom already had a strong strength during the Three Kingdoms period, and the Queen of Himiko, known as the Empress of Shengong in their country, once fought on the battlefield as a woman, laid down a large territory, and once crossed the sea three times on expeditions, defeating the Baekje Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom that had just been established at that time. Even the king of Silla became her captive, and later had to pay tribute to the Wa kingdom to save her life. ”
Yang Guang gasped: "The country is so powerful? Silla and Baekje have heard that their strength is not weak, they both have more than 100,000 troops, even if they encounter Goguryeo, which is good at fighting, they can fight back and forth, how can they run into this Wa country, and they will be vulnerable? ”
Wang Shichong sighed: "At the beginning of the founding of Baekje and Silla, the main inhabitants were the primitive people of the Samhan region, the level of production and war was extremely backward, and the war was still fought with stone weapons, and there was no military system of war at all, so Xuan Zhun and Wen Zuo were able to build a country in the local area so lightly, and the people of the Japanese country, whether they were the Qin people brought by Xu Fu or the remnants of Wu Yue, were all in the Central Plains for a long time, and they were much more powerful than these primitive people, and their people were not afraid of life and death, and they were fierce and abnormal, far from being able to defeat the people of Sanhan. ”
"After Silla surrendered to the Wa State, the Wa State also established a colony in the southwest of Baekje, called Renna, and the immigrants sent troops to garrison it, as the years passed, the strength of Baekje and Silla began to grow slowly, and gradually got rid of the control of the Wa State, and Baekje also went through hundreds of years of war, before the Japanese Ren Na colony slowly encroached on and recovered, after all, the Wa State was too far away from Baekje to transfer troops from the mainland to fight again and again, and in the end it could only acquiesce to this fact, but it was still friendly with Baekje through an alliance, so now the Wa Kingdom can also use Baekje as a springboard to send merchants and envoys to our Great Sui. ”
