Fifteen Ryukyu returns

Japanese Foreign Minister Aso said: Since 1500, Sino-Japanese relations have never been perfected.

Now let's listen to what the Chinese discussed about Japan before 1800.

The princess ship rides the waves on the sea.

Wei Wen is at the helm from the bridge.

Zhuge is directly calculating and checking the charts.

The water princess discussed with Lu Xun and Zhao Yun at the tea.

Lu Xun said with a smile: "This trip to the Three Kingdoms of the Ryukyus has gained a lot. ”

The water princess said: "This trip to the Three Kingdoms of the Ryukyus has given us a direct understanding of our neighbors. Furthermore, during our previous visit to Luzon, we can now calmly carry out our plan of streamlining our military administration without worrying about external pressure and threats. ”

Lu Xun said: "Only with a big ship can there be a big ocean. The Ryukyus, like Luzon, had only small boats. That kind of small boat can move along the coast, but it can't withstand the strong winds and waves to go to the open sea, let alone cross the Heishuigou to the Diaoyu Islands and Yizhou. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Further north of the Ryukyus, it is the Wa Kingdom. It is necessary to consider the safety of Yizhou. The most important thing is to consider the Wa State. ”

The water princess smiled and said, "Our water chestnut general, her husband is a native of Nagasaki in the Wa Kingdom, Miki Jiro, who used to be my bodyguard. So we still know a lot about the Japanese country. ”

Lu Xun said: "It should be said that although the Wa State is an overseas island country, the starting point of the Wa State is still very high. ”

Zhao Yun asked: "Overseas island countries, the starting point is still very high?" ”

Lu Xun explained: "At that time, in the era of Zulong (Qin Shi Huang), Xu Fu led 3,000 boys and girls to Fusang to establish the country, and the sea ship he brought was the largest warship in China at that time, and the warrior he brought was the strongest samurai in China at that time, and the bow and arrow he brought was the largest bow and arrow crossbow in China at that time, which could shoot whales. Qin Shi Huang also equipped Xu Fu with the best marksmen, and Xu Fu also brought with him the most skilled craftsmen in all walks of life in China at that time. ”

The water princess said with a smile: "It seems that when we first came to Yizhou, we were far from prepared. ”

Lu Xun smiled: "Then how can it be compared? Xu Fu went to sea twice, eight years apart. Qin Shi Huang personally carefully prepared all the manpower and materials for Xu Fu, all of which were the highest level in the country. Because of these talents and materials, the Wa Kingdom had a level comparable to China in many aspects at the beginning of the founding of Xu Fu. ”

The water princess said with a smile: "Time has passed, hundreds of years have passed, and Xu Fu's big ship that can sail directly to Fusang has come to an end. The ships of the Wa Kingdom are much smaller than those of Xu Fu back then, and they can only sail in the coastal waters. The trade between the Wa Kingdom and China could only be carried out along the western coastline of Korea, offshore sailing, reaching the Yanguo Kingdom in Liaodong, and then circumnavigating the coast to reach the Central Plains and Gangdong regions. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Yes, before Sima Yiping Yan, the overseas trade in the north was subject to Gongsun Yuan, the king of Yan, who claimed to be the overlord of the sea. ”

Lu Xun nodded and said, "That's true." After Sima Yi Pingyan, the queen of the Wa Kingdom, who had been unable to trade with the Central Plains for a long time, immediately sent people to China to buy bronze mirrors. ”

The water princess nodded and said, "In this way, the Wa Kingdom currently does not have the ability to pass through the Ryukyus and cross the Heishui Ditch to Diaoyu Island and Yizhou. ”

Lu Xun said: "At present, it seems that the Japanese country does not know that there is such a place and such a route. ”

The water princess pondered and said, "If the people of the Japanese country know such a place and such a route, Yizhou will be vigilant. ”

Zhao Yun asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Lu Xun also asked: "What are its folk customs?" ”

The water princess said: "Since ancient times, the people of the Japanese country have felt that God is unfair, the climate and environmental conditions are harsh, the resources are insufficient, and there are many people and little land. We southerners think that the climate of Liaodong is harsh, but the Japanese people think that Liaodong is the best place for people to live. Because the Japanese people think that the family property is small and not enough to distribute, the Japanese state stipulates that the property in the family can only be inherited by the eldest alone, and the second and third children must go out to make a living by themselves, so there are many ronins in the Japanese country. ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "I see." ”

The water princess continued: "Due to the lack of property, the Wa Kingdom even regards the old man as a please, and can abandon the old man. ”

Lu Xun was surprised and said: "This is completely opposite to us in China. We are an old family with a treasure. In our China, we have always regarded longevity as a blessing, and the experience and wisdom of the elderly are the accumulation of decades, what a valuable wealth! ”

The water princess continued: "When the parents are old and incapacitated, the son carries the old man up the mountain in a basket, finds a place to settle the old man, and leaves food for seven days, and then he can go down the mountain and go home. ”

Lu Xun shook his head and said, "Then the old man will be miserable." ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "In such a difficult place, the people must be strong. ”

The water princess continued: "The people of the Chinese are extremely jealous of the Chinese, believing that the place where the Chinese live is the most beautiful and best land in the world, and complaining that God is unfair to them. ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Back then, I was in Gongsun Zhan's army, and I often fought against the invading Karasuma people and Xianbei people. I asked them, 'Why do you encroach on us?' They also say that you live in such a good land and live such a good life, while we live in such a difficult place and live in such poverty, is this fair? ”

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Yes!" This is what all those who invaded China have said since ancient times. People who say this want to invade China. They invaded China, and the Xiongnu said the same thing and did so back then. The invasion of China and the plundering of wealth will be sweetened, and the aggression will become more and more frequent and the scale will become larger and larger. In the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't bear it anymore and sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to fight, and the Xiongnu could only flee and destroy the country. General Huo Quzhi said well: Those who offend my big man will be punished even if they are far away! ”

The water princess nodded, "Yes, that's right." The Japanese state coveted China's land, and it was bound to invade China in the future. At present, the Wa State does not have large ships, and its sea power is not even comparable to that of the Liaodong Yan State, so it will not pose a threat to China now. However, after the Japanese state had a big ship, it would inevitably invade China like the Xiongnu, Karasuma, and Xianbei. Of course, Yizhou may have been the first place to be harmed. ”

Zhao Yun asked, "Knowing that these places will become a scourge to China in the future, why don't you destroy them first?" ”

The water princess said: "These places are very difficult and poor places, and if you occupy and manage such places, not only will it not help the government, but it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and the gains will outweigh the losses." For example, after Sima Yi pacified the Yan Kingdom in Liaodong, he did not leave a large army, but moved 30,000 people from Liaodong into the Central Plains with his family. ”

Lu Xun said solemnly: "Sima Yi's move to draw wages from the bottom of the Liaodong kettle, on the surface, is a clever plan to quickly stabilize Liaodong, but in fact, it has planted a great disaster for the country a hundred years later!" ”

Zhao Yunshu nodded profoundly, and he said deeply: "The scourge has been planted, the melons and beans will be planted, and the scourge planted by Sima Yi must be borne by Sima Yi's descendants." Don't mention it now. Princess, do you hate the Japanese people? ”

The water princess smiled and said, "No, I don't hate the Japanese people. The Japanese are my friends. Miki Jiro has always been my personal bodyguard, I gave him the highest salary, and I married my most beautiful confidant Ai Water Chestnut to him, because Miki Jiro is a good boy in the Japanese country. And the bad Japanese people, like Noda Dairo, will be dragged away by the wild dogs of Yizhou, and the end will be sad. In fact, this kind of bad guy has no place in their country. ”

On the Diaoyu Tai on the south island of Diaoyu Island, Jin Xiangyu is still fishing.

Lu Kangni climbed to the highest point of the rocky hill and looked east.

Lu Yanni shouted happily: "Sister Jin Xiangyu, come and see, aunt and their boat are here." ”

As soon as Lu Kangni's words stopped, Jin Xiangyu was already standing beside him suddenly to observe.

Lu Kangni asked in surprise, "Why did you jump up all of a sudden?" ”

Jin Xiangyu smiled and didn't answer Lu Yanni, she observed for a while, praised Lu Yanni and said, "Lu Kangni, you, a naval officer, are really not in vain. As soon as the mast emerges, you see it. ”

The princess flagship on the podium.

Zhuge Zhi reported: "Princess, you will go to Diaoyu Island in front. ”

The water princess said, "Sail straight to the south island." ”

Wei Wen reported: "Princess, there are people on Nanxiao Island, waving cloth flags. ”

The water princess knew it and smiled slightly.

Wei Wen continued to report: "There are people on Nanxiao Island, two people! ”

The water princess immediately stood up and observed it herself, and then ordered: "Pay attention, sail around the three islands of the Diaoyu Islands, pay attention to observation!" ”

Because there was one more person than the water princess expected, the situation changed, and the water princess paid special attention to whether there was any movement on the shore of the three islands of Diaoyu Island.

Wei Wen continued to report: "Two people. It seems to be a man and a woman. ”

Zhuge Zhi reported: "Report to the princess, the main island of Diaoyu Island and Beixiao Island have not found any situation. ”

A lifetime of military service made the water princess extremely cautious, and she ordered: "Drop anchor a stone's throw away from the southern island." ”

The water princess said to Lu Xun and Zhao Yun: "There is something new on the island. Grand Governor, General, let's go and have a look. ”
