Chapter 1020: The Eagle Cries
Tang Yi didn't know much about the history of the Wako, he only knew that more than 20 years later, there was a Renchen Wa Rebellion, at that time the leader of the Wa State was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, after being defeated by the Ming army, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, let Tokugawa Ieyasu pick up the cheap, the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, before these two people, there was a guy who was very respected by the Wa people, called Oda Nobunaga, the time was about the same, according to the news from the Wa Kingdom, Oda Nobunaga was indeed the largest prince at this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When he was about to attack the Wa Kingdom, Tang Yi felt that it would be much easier to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger first, kill Oda Nobunaga, and then fiddle with the rest of the Wa Kingdom's princes.
In that year, the Tang Dynasty fought at the mouth of the Baijiang River, which was to cut off 40,000 ears of the Japanese people in exchange for a thousand years of peace. This time, four hundred were sent, which is a little less, but it should be a little bit of movement!
Who knew that the Wa Kingdom actually endured it, how strange it was?
"Could it be that this Oda Nobunaga has the posture of a hero, and can endure what others can't bear?" Tang Shen tapped on the table and asked lightly.
"I'm afraid that's not the case, according to the report of the envoy who went to the Japanese country, Oda Nobunaga is very powerful, but this guy's popularity doesn't seem to be very good, and he offended everyone around him. At present, the nominal leader of the Wa Kingdom is Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the fifteenth general of the Muromachi Shogunate, who returned to Kyoto with the support of Oda Nobunaga three years ago and restored the shogunate, but Oda Nobunaga wanted to take over the power of the shogunate, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki secretly contacted other princes to oppose Oda Nobunaga ......"
"Why are you talking so complicated?" Tang Ping'an ran in from outside with a smile, the little guy's face was still a little ugly, but it had recovered its former spirit.
"It was Dong Zhuo who established Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was domineering and domineering, and as a result, he provoked the princes of the Eighteen Roads to beg Dong Zhuo!"
Huang Fuyang was dull for a moment, and hurriedly applauded, "Little brother is so smart, in a word." Lord Tang, your entourage is not ordinary! ”
Tang Shen couldn't hide his joy, and said in his heart, can my grandson be bad?
He was about to introduce himself to Huangfu Yang, and Ping'an hurriedly said: "Mr. Huangfu, you fought against the Japanese and killed hundreds, and you are also a big hero. My lord, I will have to sponsor Mr. Huangfu to the imperial court in the future. ”
"That's nature!" Tang Shen understood in his heart that Sun Er was talking about Huangfu Yang on the surface, but in fact, he was sitting on the identity of his entourage, and since he was unwilling to break it, he wouldn't talk too much.
"Mr. Huangfu, you are so familiar with the situation of the Wa Kingdom, how do you think you should deal with it?"
"Lord Tang, if you want to lure the Wa Kingdom to war at the moment, I'm afraid that it won't work, so I propose that we fund the coalition forces and jointly deal with Oda Nobunaga. Tang Xiang has also mentioned more than once that this person's wolf ambition is our number one enemy, as long as Oda Nobunaga is defeated, the rest of the widows are not worried. ”
"No, I don't see it that way!" Ping An shook his head decisively.
"Hehe, what do you think?" Tang Shen said with encouragement.
"The general is leading his troops outside, and he still has to adapt to the situation. What is the purpose of the imperial court to set up the Beiyang Company, it is because we are flexible and mobile, and we do not need to be bound by any moral rules, how to benefit and how to come! The strategy designed by Tang Xiang is inevitably a bit on paper and does not fit with reality. ”
What a fierce boy, he dared to deny Tang Xiang as soon as he came up, can Old Tang still tolerate you?
Huang Fuyang peeked at Tang Shen, and saw that this person was full of encouragement and was not angry at all.
"I think the most urgent thing is to pry open the door of the Japanese kingdom, conduct trade, and get gold and silver." The Japanese civil war is in full swing, and the faction that opposes Oda Nobunaga now seems to be powerful, but after all, there are too many people, and the people are not aligned, and if we break a little, we will lose everything, and if we stand on the side against Oda, we will need to assist at least ten Wa Daimyo and pay too much price, and it is not cost-effective at all. If Oda Nobunaga had only been aided and helped to defeat the coalition forces, it would have been easier to succeed. ”
Tang Shen took a breath, "Having said that, but Oda Nobunaga is a hero, in case he takes the entire Wa Kingdom and becomes an enemy of the Ming Dynasty at that time, what should we do?" ”
Ping An blinked his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Then it's none of our business, when the time comes, the court will send troops to rebel." ”
Tang Shen was angry, "Aren't you throwing the pot and letting the court bear it?" ”
"Anyway, Beiyang Company has earned it, isn't this it!"
Tang Ping'an's irresponsible attitude made Huangfu Yang amazed, this kid is not only bold, but also not afraid of heaven and earth, he is a character!
What is a colonial trading company, isn't it just a sharp word, desperately rushing forward, and the conflict of interests with the imperial court, the conflict is a conflict! If everything goes along with the court, it is better to send officials and soldiers!
Because of his long beard, no child has yet understood it, and Huang Fuyang is a hundred in favor, but he can't call the shots.
Tang Shen pondered for a while, waved his hand, and sent Huang Fuyang out first.
Then he calmed his face, "Ping'an, you stinky boy, are you going to cause trouble for your father?" ”
Ping An pouted and whispered, "Aren't we going to make trouble when we come out." ”
Seeing that Grandpa was still calm and didn't squeak, Ping An hurriedly came over, "Grandpa, in fact, I don't think there is anything wrong with supporting Oda Nobunaga for the time being." ”
"Why?" Tang Shen asked.
Not to mention, it actually made Ping An tell a truth, the Wa State is a very backward country, until it imitated the Tang Dynasty and carried out Dahua reform, it began to take on the appearance of a feudal country.
However, because of the limitations of the island country, the change was not thorough, and everything was learned, except for the imperial examination system, the lack of social mobility, the succession to power all relied on blood relations, and there was no mature bureaucratic system.
Now that the Muromachi shogunate is a candle on the cusp, if Oda Nobunaga cannot be defeated, the rule of the Muromachi shogunate will fall apart.
"The wars of the Japanese kingdom are frequent, and the princes are all around, they compare themselves to the Spring and Autumn countries of the Celestial Empire, and boast of being a warring state, but in fact, they are simply fools' dreams, sitting in wells and watching the sky. From ancient times to the present, the Wa Kingdom has not completed the real unification, and the degree of centralization is not even comparable to that of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, let alone the Qin and Han dynasties. Oda Nobunaga, as well as their ally Tokugawa Ieyasu, are relatively progressive, while Ashikaga Yoshiaki, as well as Takeda, Uesugi, and Mori, are relatively conservative. ”
Ping An is not very old, but he can't stand his father's careful teaching, and his perspective on history is naturally superior. And he is not like Tang Yi, who is always unconsciously affected by the memories of his previous life. Ping An should be more confident, even a little conceited.
"Oda Nobunaga was determined to forge ahead and implement the new system reform, but he was feared and besieged by the conservative forces on all sides, and he seemed very lonely. Because of this, he needs our support more and it is easier for him to meet our conditions. And those old-fashioned daimyo because Dayuan once sent troops to attack the Wa State, and the Wa State was almost facing annihilation, they were very xenophobic, and they supported them, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”
If you want to knock on the door of the other party's country, you naturally have to have someone to cooperate, and it is naturally much better to choose a newer character than the old one.
In fact, the modern history of planting flowers is not like this, the great powers first supported Li Hongzhang, and then chose Yuan Shikai, when Yuan Shikai died, no one could control the overall situation, the great powers selected agents in different regions, Zhang Zuolin of the Feng line, Wu Peifu of the direct line, and Sun Chuanfang, the commander of the five provinces...... These are all momentary choices.
If you choose the weaker side at the beginning, the mud will not be able to support the wall, and you will only waste huge costs in vain and achieve nothing.
Of course, supporting the strong will also cause trouble, once they are strong enough to be out of control, they will be disobedient, such as Hu Shuai and Zhang Zuolin, so how to deal with it? A bomb is all you need in Huanggutun!
"Grandpa, I think my father has the impression that the Wa Kingdom is very powerful and difficult to deal with, but I don't see it that way, just a few million people, four islands with a big nose, and a bunch of ant-sized princes, even if they are unified, can they threaten the Ming Dynasty? Besides, we can keep a few more back-ups, and we can eradicate Oda Nobunaga at any time, and then North Korea is also a good chess piece, so why not use it! If the Wa Kingdom wants to attack the Ming Dynasty, it must at least cross North Korea first! ”
Tang Shen pondered and said, "Are you ready to beggar-thy-neighbor?" ”
"That's right, I suggest that North Korea be instigated, invade and occupy Tsushima Island, and put on a posture of attacking the Japanese state to attract firepower for us. As for the inside of the Wa Kingdom, he mainly supported Oda Nobunaga, and at the same time co-opted his generals, and once he was out of control, he immediately fought back! The small Wa country still has a lot of ability to withstand the toss. ”
After listening to his grandson's words, Tang Shen fell into deep thought, and frankly said that he had resisted the Japanese for many years, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese should not be underestimated, and he was also worried about the emergence of a strong man who could unify the Japanese country, which was the same as Tang Yi's worries.
But what Ping An said may not be unreasonable, a country that has been in turmoil for thousands of years, if you want to pinch together, how can it be so easy, with Oda Nobunaga, even if the Ming Dynasty is not mixed, he may not be able to unify the world, can help you up, can also knock you down to the mortal world, life and death are between our thoughts!
"Okay, good, just do what you say!"
After Tang Shen made a decision, he needed to send personnel to the Wa Kingdom to contact Oda Nobunaga.
After looking around, no suitable person was selected.
"Grandpa, is there a more suitable candidate besides grandchildren? Since it was the grandson who proposed it, it should be handled by the grandson! ”
"You?" Tang Shen scratched his head, "Ping'an, you're still too young, besides, let your father know that he won't have a falling out with me!" ”
"What are you afraid of, when he was a teenager, didn't he settle tens of thousands of refugees and dig salt and iron ponds, and they all said that the blue is better than the blue, and he was reluctant to let me do things, what is this!" The little guy is reasonable, and he does it one by one.
Tang Shen was quite embarrassed, "Ping'an, your father has sent a lot of people to follow our grandfather, if you leave Jeju Island, they will catch you immediately." ”
Ping An rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not easy, as long as you are willing to help cover up, I can succeed." "The little one is full of confidence. (To be continued.) )
