Chapter 787: How to Run the Newly Occupied Land

But the more this is the case, the more we have to support, because, although the monobe clan and the Su I clan were feuding in the past, at least the hatred will not be blatantly placed on the table, when the head of the monobe clan was assassinated, although everyone knew that it must be Su Mazi's hand, but at least Su I Mazi has always denied it.

But today, Su I Mazi nakedly raised the butcher knife towards the Monobe clan, so that more ministers of the Japanese Kingdom could see the brutal side of Su Ma Zi. Retaining the bloodline of the Monobe clan can not only leave an enemy who has a deep enmity with the Su I clan, but also because of the heavy losses of the Wu Clan, we have to rely more closely on the command of our Huaxia Empire to fight against the Su I clan.

And the Monobe clan is also very knowledgeable, and knows that if the current monobe clan does not follow the Chinese Empire closely, it may be wiped out by the Su clan at any time, and there is not even a scum left. As for Su Ma Zi, he was very dissatisfied with the remnants of the Monobe clan left by Yang Gongren, but he was afraid of the powerful military power of the Huaxia Empire, so he could only complain in his heart, and tried more to curry favor with Yang Gongren, so as not to be fooled by General Yang of the Monobe clan.

At this time, General Yang also slowed down the pace of the offensive and began to manage the central and southern parts of the main island of Wajima with satisfaction, and as for the northern area, Emperor Suiko and Prince Shotoku were clamoring to jump there, and they were finally relieved that they could not wait for General Yang to advance.

Su I Mazi was very anxious in his heart, for fear that General Yang would not fight halfway through the battle, and when the time came, if Emperor Tuigu and Prince Shotoku came back waving the banner of righteousness, he Su I clan would be lucky if he could leave a living dog.

Therefore, Su I Mazi volunteered to ask for his life, and General Yang handed over Su I Mazi 30,000 Wajima soldiers to let him go and fight with Emperor Tuigu and them. The two sides fought a bloody battle in the northern part of Fujiwara-kyo for half a year.

Although Emperor Suiko and Prince Shotoku took advantage of the righteousness, and recruited more soldiers and horses than Soga Mazi, the problem was that the combat effectiveness was not much different from that of the peasant soldiers under Soga Mazi. Well, the army of the Wa State in this era was completely peasantry, and only when it was fighting, would it carry bamboo poles to the battlefield.

You read that right, it's the bamboo pole, after the bamboo pole is sharpened, it becomes their weapon for life, as for what kind of armor and iron tools, it is only at the officer level that can have an iron weapon smuggled from China.

More than 90 percent of the peasant soldiers did not have any armor, and only those of the officer rank wore some leather armor and bamboo armor. That is, the origin of the armor of the Wa Kingdom in later generations.

As for the troops, there are two kinds, one is the peasant soldier and the other is the archer. The Japanese people really have a fate with bamboo, the peasant soldiers are holding bamboo spears, and the archers are holding bamboo bows, the lethality of bamboo bows is so pitiful that the dogs in Chang'an collectively laugh and pee, as long as they wear thick cotton clothes, I am afraid that the bamboo bow will not be able to shoot through.

The two sides began a months-long war, and the Chinese Imperial military was able to step out and focus on leveling the local forces and clarifying the direction of the fields. And several mines began to start construction in the second month after the capture of Fujiwara Kyoto by the Chinese Empire.

Most of the people who came to work here were prisoners of war from the south, the Champa prisoners. Tens of thousands of laborers were transported in one go, and only today's Chinese Empire could have such strength.

As for why we didn't take down the Tuigu and Shengde of the Wa Kingdom first, it was because we needed some subordinates who were willing to attach themselves to the Chinese Empire, such as the Soga clan and the Monobe clan.

With their help, it was very conducive to the Chinese Empire's governance of the Japanese islands, and also to the Chinese Empire's predatory development of the Japanese islands. During this period, the population of the entire island was less than one million.

The cultivated land is less than one-fifth of the land in Wajima itself. A large number of landless lands were labeled by the Chinese Revival Army, waiting for the merchants who had already received the news of the victory of the Chinese Empire's military and were rushing to arrive.

The easy victory in the battle against Wajima was absolutely remarkable to the world, and Goguryeo and Baekje, two countries that were not respectful to our Chinese Empire, were even more shocking as a bolt from the blue.

Wadao also belongs to the north, and more importantly, it is far away from the mainland of China, but now, the Chinese Empire can easily send hundreds of thousands of elite divisions beyond the ocean, such an army projection ability, and the combat effectiveness that Wadao has no way to resist at all, if they do not make their hearts tremble.

Previously, Wajima also asked Baekje for help, although Baekje had the heart, but it was simply powerless, and the Baekje sailors sent hundreds of warships, and just sailed to the area of Tsushima Island, they were attacked by the Beiyang Fleet of the Chinese Empire.

The outrageously tall warships used their sturdy bodies and artillery to bombard less than a third of the Baekje fleets that wanted to come to the island for help, and this was only when the Beiyang Fleet of the Chinese Empire did not pursue them.

Baekje, naturally, was also included in one of the future targets of the Chinese Empire's retaliation, and the three countries on the Silla Peninsula were all trembling, and Silla was able to sell well to our Chinese Empire. In this regard, we are naturally also entrusted with the false snake.

They hoped that the Chinese Empire would fulfill its role as suzerainty and reclaim for them the territory that had been occupied by Goguryeo and Baekje for more than a hundred years. Regarding the idea of the envoys of the Silla Kingdom, this prince and the important ministers of the Chinese Empire just let this thing out of the smell.

Three countries, leaving you alone, can't you let your family dominate? This son is not Tang Gaozong, nor is he Ming Taizu. Not to mention the Silla Peninsula, even if it is Liaodong or even the whole of Greater Siberia, this son wants to harvest them all into the arms of the Chinese Empire.

With steam locomotives and railways, it is equivalent to the blood of the empire can flow smartly, and then these areas that seemed so wild and remote in the past have become a paradise where they can come and go freely.

Today, the Chinese Empire has begun to build the Yellow River Bridge, and the Jinyang Station and the Shanxi Railway are also under construction. The latest Huaxia No. 9 locomotive industry has left the factory, and its towing capacity and speed are unprecedented, with a maximum speed of 160 miles per hour in half an hour. That is to say, in one day, you can run 1,920 kilometers, or about 3,800 miles.

In the future, if a railway from Chang'an to Liaocheng is built, then it will only take one day at most, and a steam locomotive can transport thousands of people to Liaocheng. Think about it, in the past, it would take a month for the army to set out from Luoyang to conquer Goguryeo, and the army would set off from Luoyang and arrive in the area around Liaocheng, but in the future, if the situation is urgent, then twenty-four trains can be sent to the direction of Liaocheng in one day, and after a day's work, 25,000 elite imperial soldiers armed to the teeth will be able to arrive in Liaocheng and devote themselves to the battle.

This is absolutely an extremely terrifying ability to act, with a steam locomotive, if the population is large enough, the Chinese Empire is even capable of controlling the entire Eurasian continent.

Goguryeo sent envoys in the third month after the Chinese Empire sent troops to Wajima, willing to pay tribute to our Chinese Empire, and Baekje also sent envoys to express their most sincere apologies for this Tsushima naval conflict, hoping that the Chinese Empire would spare them regardless of the villains.

We treated these two countries differently, and the Goguryeo envoys were thrown directly in the state guesthouse, and several officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were engaged in a humming affair with them. There was no chance for them to enter the court to pay tribute, in a word, Goguryeo had to be cleaned up.

And Baekje's fleet, that is equivalent to sending it to the door to find a draw, and more importantly, it gave me such an obvious excuse for the Huaxia Empire to clean up Baekje in the future, how can you admit your mistake and be done? Therefore, directly under the court, it was announced that Baekje, a vassal country that had close ties with the Wa State and even dared to help the Wa State against our Huaxia Empire, was a country that must be conquered.

In this regard, all the feudal domains of the Huaxia Empire can only stare at each other or have anxiety or schadenfreude, after all, who let you mess with your asshole to provoke the Huaxia Empire, who else will he clean up if he doesn't clean you up?

And Silla's envoys also ran up and down, crying vigorously, being bullied by Goguryeo today, and being raped by Baekje tomorrow, in short, Silla is like a crying little woman who has been bullied by two rough strong men and is about to hold on, hoping that the great and powerful suzerainty can lend a helping hand and save Silla from dire straits.

And we naturally patted our chests and swore that we would definitely give Silla justice. But how to repay this justice, that has to be discussed slowly, in addition, you Silla want the help of my Huaxia Empire, then, you also need conditions.

For example, if you say that Silla is the most admired vassal of my Chinese Empire, is there a Sinology Museum in your country? Ordinary literati can recognize Chinese characters or not, will they be fluent in Guanzhong, and have you Silla adopted a ban attitude towards the merchants of our Chinese Empire...... The various articles and regulations almost tortured the envoys who came from Silla to madness.

In the end, after bilateral consultations, Silla finally signed a series of treaties with the Chinese Empire, recognizing the suzerainty status of the Chinese Empire, willing to vigorously promote the Chinese language and Chinese characters in its country, and allowing the Imperial Academy of the Chinese Empire to set up a large number of Chinese studies within its borders. Establish Chinese and Chinese characters as the official common language of the country, and in addition, be willing to accept the protection of the Chinese Imperial Army. There is also the opening of trade, and the agreement to allow the merchants of our Chinese empire to trade freely abroad.

In short, after a series of treaties were signed, the Silla ministers, who admired the culture of the Central Plains and did not have their own writing, somehow sold Silla to our Chinese Empire. In the following decade, although some people with lofty ideals in Silla stood up against these policies, they finally woke up to the terrible cultural invasion that more and more Silla people had forgotten their traditions and culture, and even considered themselves to be part of the Chinese nation.

However, these people often disappeared into the vast sea of people without complaining a few times.

Of course, it is absolutely silent, and it disappears without attracting attention, even those civil and military ministers, but the discipline of these people has almost fallen when they entered the officialdom, and the personnel of my Chinese Empire secretly made all kinds of promises, and they sang praises for the entry of our Chinese Empire, and there were very few people who dared to disagree.

And many people are taking the initiative to sing praises for our Chinese Empire, after all, compared to their cold and cold Silla, the beautiful, powerful, and rich Chinese Empire is more worthy of their admiration, and they can't wait to be a part of the Chinese Empire, and even some Silla scholars have taken the initiative to jump out and point to the broken silk that they don't know from which grave they played, pointing to the unrecognizable handwriting on it, and loudly telling the people of Silla that they were originally a member of the Chinese nation, but it has been too long. Only then did they gradually develop their own language and customs.

Sinicization, which has become one of the most fashionable words of the Silla people, everyone is proud of knowing Chinese, communicating in Chinese, and wearing Han clothes, even Princess Seondeok, the daughter of their lord King Jinpyeong, is also famous for being good at sinology, and even specially asked her father to invite a well-educated Chinese scholar for her.

Compared with the full-scale sinicization of Silla, Baekje is now completely confined to its own territory and unable to move. Their naval divisions had already lost most of their losses in the previous Battle of Tsushima, and now the Beiyang Fleet, which had already cleaned up the Japanese kingdom, had begun to blockade Baekje in full force.

Our Huaxia Empire has sent an envoy to inform the king of Baekje, demanding that Baekje must surrender unconditionally, otherwise, after our Huaxia Empire has cleaned up the Wa Kingdom, they will be the next target.
