Chapter 510: A Thousand Years of Grievances
Since the shogunate has been defeated, it is necessary for the Ming merchants to resume the sea trade, but one of the arms of the Japanese shogunate of the Dutch people, the shogunate really does not want to give up, they still want to win the opportunity for the Dutch people to get the Japanese sea trade.

"Lord Zhao, the Dutch people buy gold, silver, cotton and silk from our country every year, and bring large cylinders and other items, which is also very important to the Japanese country, can Lord Zhao allow the Dutch people to come to our country for sea trade."
Sakai Tadashi bowed respectfully and pleaded.
"This Dutch is my mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and in the past ten years, he has been constantly attacking the southern sea frontier of my Ming Dynasty, causing the death of more than 100 warships and thousands of people in my Ming Dynasty, do you think I can let them go?"
Zhao Lie still had a smile on his face, but Sakai Tadashi saw a cold light in his eyes.
Yes, Sakai Tadashi, who had dealt with Zhao Lie a few times, knew that when he saw the expression of this general of the Ming army, then this matter would be no fun.
That was the end of the Dutch business, and the two sides then negotiated the place and time of the departure of the first batch of 10,000 Japanese women, and thus the meeting was concluded in harmony.
Sakai Tadayo and Doi Toshikatsu completed their mission on this trip, although it cost a lot of money and food, but the shogunate is no longer running naked, is it.
Of course, this extra money has to be raised, and the small judgment of 150,000 silver is not a small amount, but there are still daimyo and merchants who are willing to pay this money, one is to show filial piety to the general, and the other is to take some opportunities from the general.
Because the shogunate had more than 20 large and small gold and silver mines under its jurisdiction, there were many gold and silver mines in Japan that were prone to earthquakes, and of course the Tokugawa shogunate would not leave these financial resources in the hands of the daimyo after it was established. Could it be that they can pool their financial resources and fall to the top?
The Tokugawa shogunate opened up most of the gold and silver mines under the direct command of the shogunate. Although the largest mine on Zuodu Island was taken by the Ming people. However, the gold and silver mines left behind are still extremely considerable.
If it is an urgent need for gold and silver, it can be destructively mined, although it greatly shortens the life of the mine, on the whole, it is extremely unreasonable, but at this time, who can take care of this, destructive mining is necessary.
Therefore, the daimyo and merchants were not afraid to lend gold and silver to the shogunate, but there was definitely some trading here.
Just ten days later, the money of 150,000 silver was sent to Kamakura. Now Zhao Lie's base camp.
At this point, the great victory of the Raider Army's expedition to the Wa Kingdom ended, killing more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers and capturing more than 10,000 people, and almost turning the countries of Sagami, Musashi, Ueno, Shimono, Hitachi, Kai, Ou in the northeast, Echizen Province, Echigo Province, Shinano Province, and Mino Province into white land.
It caused great losses of property and personnel to the Japanese state.
The army besieged the town of Edo for several months, forcing the Japanese general Tokugawa Iemitsu to pay a small judgment of 10 million silver, and humiliated him to submit a letter of surrender and sue for peace.
At the same time, the thirty-year indemnity also made the Wa Kingdom unable to turn over for decades, and it could also make the strength of the Broken Army swell, and Zhao Lie could also free up his hands to deal with the chaotic things of the Ming Dynasty and transfuse blood for the weak Central Plains in the future.
It can be said that this battle has completed all the goals that Zhao Lie planned. Carried by nearly 200 warships of the size of the Naval Division, the Breakers returned to Jeju. From here, the main force of the Broken Army will be split.
Now that the Broken Capture Army is making a big move, Zhao Lie has reason to believe that the eyes and ears of the Imperial Court and Jiannu are now closely watching the Broken Army, so it is necessary not to expose all their strength.
The Broken Army returned victoriously, but what was left to the Wa Kingdom was a place of mourning and chicken feathers.
This suffering lasted for thousands of years, and from here on, the only mention of the Broken Army was synonymous with the Beast Army, and their crimes of burning, killing, and looting in Sagami, Musashi, Ueno, and Shimono have been passed down through the ages.
Of course, they also implanted fear deeply in the hearts of the Japanese people, representing the killing of Yokohama, Blood Slope, and Blood Temple, and often left a killing without leaving or forcing the Japanese to kill each other, and the Breaker Army placed the word killing in the hearts of the Japanese people forever.
At the same time, it is also a disguised loss of the invincible prestige of the Broken Army, and this invincible tablet is also a thousand years.
Although the Broken Army did not leave **** crimes in the Japanese country, but robbed nearly 200,000 Japanese women, and the national pain caused is also unforgettable, after all, a nation can't even protect its own women is the biggest provocation and insult to its dignity.
All these pains were mixed together, so that the relationship between the Wa Kingdom and the Chinese in the west could never be harmonious.
Although due to the prestige of the Broken Army and the later Empire, the Japanese did not dare to say anything openly, but all kinds of vicious curses were everywhere behind the scenes, and even words and phrases insulting the Broken Army appeared.
But this is all in secret, hundreds of years later, the world entered the republican era and became a big global village, at this time, the empire that has been a constitutional monarchy for hundreds of years is still strong, and the Japanese country is already a constitutional monarchy, and the relationship between the two countries is still extremely bad.
The Japanese complained to all the countries in the world and all the international organizations in the world about the crimes that the Ming people had committed such crimes as burning, killing, looting, extorting money and food, and plundering women.
If it is just these behaviors, their complaints are a little reluctant, after all, there are many countries and nations that have burned, killed and looted in ancient history and modern history.
Let's say that the Spaniards and the Portuguese slaughtered the Indians of South America, and 90% out of 10 were gone, and the rest were mostly mixed with the Portuguese and Spaniards and Indian women.
The English and French almost exterminated the Indians in North America, the indigenous people in Australia, and the same in Africa, so this kind of genocidal massacre is really common.
So why are the Japanese so resentful, this can't be explained.
The reason why the Japanese people are so resentful is because of these points,
First, when the Ming people attacked the Japanese people, the Japanese people already had a relatively complete national form, with their own language and writing, and even their own more beautiful poetry classics, of course, you can say that their writing was a copycat Han people, and the Japanese people also had their own son of heaven and national ruling institutions, that is, the shogunate.
In this way, the Japanese people also formed a unified national consciousness, and hated the attacks and burning of outsiders, which can be seen from the countless poems and books that have been handed down for thousands of years and scolded the Ming beast soldiers and the general of the Ming people, Zhao Lie.
Such records can be passed down forever, and hatred, disgust, and fear have been passed down, and they are simply deeply preserved in the memory of the nation.
Of course, the resemblance is the hatred and disgust of the Koreans for the Japanese invasion that has been recorded and handed down, and until thousands of years later, the two countries were also disgusted.
On the contrary, the Indians and the indigenous people of other regions, because they have not formed their own written language or organizational form, can only pass on this anger and hatred by word of mouth, but there is no strong written evidence to pass it down, and even in the end they have to use the enemy's language to record, which is simply the greatest sorrow.
Second, not long after the Warring States period that ended the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom formed a special samurai system and retained strong combat power, as exemplified by the Battle of Munroku Keichōcho, the Japanese army and the Joseon and the Ming Dynasty held each other in Korea for several years, so the whole country was very self-conscious, and when nationalism was first formed, it was suddenly beaten into the dust by the Ming people, and this gap made people feel painful.
Third, in the next few hundred years, the Han people used the indemnity to suppress the Japanese state, and divided the rule of the Japanese people, plundered Zuodu Island, Iki Island and other places, and at the same time separated Kyushu from Japan, becoming a Catholic country, Kyushu God, besieging Japan from the north and southwest, and isolating it from the Asian continent.
At the same time, he continued to meddle in the internal affairs of the Wa State, and supported the daimyo in various places, so that Japan could not extricate itself from division and infighting, and it was not until a few hundred years later that the Wa State was reunified, but too many good opportunities were lost, and the Wa State was too far behind the Han people, and even the life of the Han people's follower Korea was not as good.
This grief of losing the land and falling into a civil war affected the entire Wa kingdom and countless Wa people for hundreds of years.
Fourth, the Han Chinese have never formally apologized for colonization in the same way that Westerners do.
Because the Han Chinese believed that they did not systematically exterminate the Japanese and did not colonize the territory of the Japanese state, their actions were completely different from the deliberate and purposeful extermination of the Indians by Westerners.
Moreover, more than 100 years before the so-called Kanei catastrophe of the Japanese people, it was the Japanese people who continued to harass the maritime frontier of the Ming Dynasty, raped and plundered all kinds of evil, killed and injured hundreds of thousands of Ming people, and then the battle of Wenlu Qingchang, it was the Japanese people who took the initiative to invade Korea, and its prisoner Toyotomi Hideyoshi shouted the arrogant slogan of occupying Korea and watching the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was forced to send troops to counterattack, and tens of thousands of people were killed and injured and spent millions of taels of silver before defeating the Ming people, which indirectly caused the financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty, unable to fight against the northern captives and Jiannu in the north and northeast, and unable to help the victims, The civil unrest is everywhere, which indirectly caused the death of tens of millions of Ming people, how to calculate this blood debt.
If it weren't for the martial god Zhao Lie to turn the tide and turn the tide, the Han people would have entered a dangerous situation from which they could never recover.
And Zhao Lie's counterattack is just to return his body with the way of others, it is just a revenge for the Japanese people to burn and loot, and it is the best comment that those who commit our strong men will be punished even if they are far away, if they apologize, it is not a blasphemy against the martial god Zhao Lie and tens of thousands of expeditionary troops, this is absolutely impossible.
In the words of the martial god Zhao Lie, who have been passed down through the ages, his enemies and my heroes, that's all.
Therefore, China and North Korea and the Wa Kingdom have been entangled for thousands of years, and the grievances are endless, and the Wa State has even established a massacre memorial hall at the site of the Battle of the Blood Temple, one is to commemorate the more than 10,000 Japanese people who were forced to kill each other and die, and the other is to include some so-called evidence of the Ming people burning, killing and looting.
Of course, due to the strength of the empire, there are of course many more countries that speak on the side of the empire than the Japanese state, but the Japanese country also has the support of the United States that has been competing with the empire for world leadership, so in the international community, these three are also constantly quarreling and tearing each other down.
It can be seen that the profound impact of the Kanei Expedition on later generations can be said to have influenced East Asia for hundreds of years. (To be continued.) )
