"I want to destroy Japan?!"

Not only was Li Cun shocked Fujiwara Zhangzi's request, but even Prince Xizinai and Prince Tongzinai, who came to Li Cun with Fujiwara Zhangzi, were shocked by Fujiwara Zhangzi's request.

Prince Xiziai and Prince Tongziai looked at Fujiwara Zhangzi in unison, as if to say, "Didn't we come to ask the official family to rescue the imperial brother?" How did it become a request for the government to destroy Japan? ”

Since the death of Fujiwara Akiko's patron, that is, her adoptive father, Emperor Shirakawa, and the opening of the Imperial Court by Emperor Toba, Emperor Toba has copied the old routine of his ancestors, that is, "the emperor who governs the world alone", firmly held Emperor Shotoku, who had lost the protection of Emperor Shirakawa, firmly in his hands, and began to favor Fujiwara Tokuko.

In order to further consolidate his own power, Emperor Toba gave his son, Prince Tetsuhito, born to Fujiwara Tokuko, to Emperor Shotoku as an adopted son, and made him crown prince three months later.

To be honest, this is also because the middle palace of Emperor Shotoku, that is, Fujiwara Seiko, the eldest daughter of Sekibai Fujiwara Tadamichi, has never had children.

- As soon as I said that, Fujiwara Seiko could no longer have children after she had a miscarriage.

However, Empress Fujiwara Seiko did not leave a son to Emperor Shotoku, but Emperor Shotoku's female housekeeper Zuoju quietly gave birth to Emperor Shotoku's eldest son, Prince Shigehito.

According to the rules of the Japanese imperial family, if the emperor reaches adulthood, appointing his own son as crown prince will inevitably pose a threat to Emperor Toba's rule.

In order to prevent changes over time, Emperor Toba took the lead and coerced Emperor Shotoku to abdicate, and Prince Tihito, born to Fujiwara Tokuko, ascended the throne as Emperor Konoe.

Since he was succeeded by his half-brother, Emperor Shotoku not only lost his position as emperor, but also lost the power to guardian the young emperor as the emperor's father, and his hopes of opening a court government came to naught, and he could only become a powerless emperor.

Emperor Shotoku was so concerned about this that he wrote a letter to his mother, Fujiwara Akiko, hoping that Fujiwara Akiko and Prince Tongkonai would persuade Li Cun to send troops to help him regain power in Japan.

In order to persuade Fujiwara Akiko, Prince Xikonai, and Prince Tongkonai's mother and daughter to help him, Emperor Chongde told Fujiwara Akiko that Fujiwara's sons were currently living a miserable life in Japan countless times more than that.

After reading the letter sent by Emperor Chongde with great difficulty, Fujiwara Zhangzi immediately pulled Prince Xizi Nei and Prince Tongzi Nei to find Li Cun.

However, even Prince Xizinai and Prince Tongziai didn't expect that as soon as Fujiwara Zhangzi opened his mouth, he didn't borrow troops with Li Cun to help Emperor Chongde seize power, but: "Please ask the official family to send troops to destroy Japan!" ”

After a reaction, Li Cun asked, "Why did Concubine Ai let me send troops to destroy Concubine Ai's homeland?" ”

Fujiwara Zhangzi Jing picked a good voice and said: "Since the concubine entered the official harem, the concubine has no homeland, I have a saying, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, marry an official family, in the heart of the concubine, there is only one homeland, that is my great Qian." ”

After a pause, Fujiwara Zhangzi continued: "The concubine proposed that the official family send troops to destroy Japan for four reasons:

On the one hand, the Japanese imperial family and aristocracy were extremely poor and luxurious, and tried their best to deprive and oppress Japanese civilians and slaves, causing the Japanese civilians to suffer unspeakably, and the Japanese slaves had no daylight, and the concubines begged His Majesty to send troops to rescue him.

The discord between Toba and my son, which led to the split of the Japanese court, was a good opportunity to eliminate Japan;

Third, our great cadres swept across the east, and there was no country that disobeyed them, but only one Japan was left behind our great cadres, so that our great cadres were like a man's back, and they could not look to the west with all their might. It is better to send troops to wipe it out, so as to save it from being a demon behind his own big work in the future;

Fourth, the official family may not know, although the Japanese territory is small, but rich in gold and silver, the concubines occasionally heard, now I have a little shortage of gold and silver, according to the concubines know, the Japanese court and nobles have gold and silver in their hands, it is better to send troops to seize its gold and silver, in order to fill the treasury. ”

The first reason mentioned by Fujiwara Zhangzi was purely to find a high-sounding excuse for Li Cun to send troops to Japan.

The second reason that Fujiwara Zhangzi said, in Li Cun's view, was purely making up the numbers.

Don't look at how powerful the Japanese boasted about the history of their country in later generations, in fact, the Japanese at this time belonged to the bottom of the world in terms of combat power.

You must know that just over a hundred years ago, that is, during the period when Daoyi entered the Koukou, the Japanese were still like Tubaozi, and not only had they not seen the group tactics used by the Daoyi people, but they had not even heard of them.

Only after they had tasted the power of group tactics did the Japanese hurriedly collect intelligence, and then they began to pay attention to group tactics.

However, the importance was given to the importance of it, but the Japanese still did not have a long memory, and did not completely change the pattern of war in Japan.

Let's put it this way, the military defense of Dazaifu in Japan at this time was extremely weak.

This is not only due to the relative backwardness of weapons and the anachronism of tactics, but more importantly, the inefficiency of the bureaucracy of Dazaifu itself.

At this time, the bureaucrats of Dazaifu in Japan were mainly two types of people: local tycoons and nobles sent from the capital.

They are experts in messing around and making money. Fight? What are you kidding, is that something that these high-ranking nobles need to worry about?

A long time ago, secret agents from the Wu De Division, the pro-army capital of the Guard, and the Military Intelligence Department who went to Japan with the maritime merchants reported that Japan still had a cavalry combat method.

Of course, in parallel with this style of play full of romanticism and individual heroism, Japan's Dazaifu also began to use the military system based on the athlete system and the soldier selection system under the Ritsuryo system, and each army acted in unison under the command of the commander.

However, at this time, the Japanese tactics at most barely reached the tactics of the Xia and Shang periods in China, not to mention compared with the cadres who led the whole world, even compared with the natives on the prince's continent, the Japanese at this time may not be able to defeat.

This is really not burying Japan.

In fact, Japan has been closed to the country for too long, and it was only a hundred years ago that it really fought with the outside army, and then it was closed off for more than a hundred years, which made the Japanese have not experienced the baptism of cruel war outside at all.

Therefore, the cadre army can definitely crush Japan's incomparably backward army, unless the historical one who helped the Japanese "defeat" the Yuan army kamikaze and then help Japan.

But—

With the degree of development of the sea ships and navigation technology of the Great Qian Dynasty, even if the kamikaze could help the Japanese once, it would definitely not help the Japanese a second time.

In other words, it should not be difficult for Li Cun to destroy Japan.

Therefore, the second reason mentioned by Fujiwara Akiko is meaningless, because no matter what the political environment in Japan is, it cannot reverse the huge power gap between the two sides.

But—

The latter two reasons mentioned by Fujiwara Akiko are very different.

In later generations, an emperor once said: If the mirror is not erased, Japan will not be able to fight.

A secretary of state in the United States once said: No one can understand the wolf ambitions of the Japanese, an evil nation.

A president once said: Japan is the most humble and shameless nation in history.

Another president once said: Japan is a sinister and cunning, cruel people, this nation is very powerful, its madness and bloodlust are similar to the European medieval vampire Dracula, once you see the weakness of the throat, it will immediately bite off, there is no chance of survival.

A great thinker once said: The Japanese character is extremely perverted, and in the eyes of Europeans, Japan is a bloody, perverted and murderous nation, and the Japanese are stubborn, willful, self-serving, and ignorant.

Historically, Li Hongzhang of the Qing Dynasty in China once said: If this country is not removed, it will be a great disaster in the future.

It is not difficult to see from this that if Li Cun does not destroy Japan, Japan may really threaten the back of the Daqian Dynasty in the future.

Actually-

Li Cun's hatred of the Japanese is a memory engraved in his bones, and the hatred of the country and family that has been passed down from generation to generation makes Li Cun and the Japanese incompatible.

Killing Japanese men and playing with Japanese women has always been Li Cun's constant feelings.

Therefore, even if he doesn't rush anything else, only this unresolvable hatred, Li Cun should destroy Japan.

In fact, Li Cun never let go of the matter of destroying Japan.

It's just that Japan and the Daqian Dynasty are separated by a sea after all, and even if they are defeated, they can't be connected to the territory of the Daqian Dynasty, especially before the Daqian Dynasty recovers Jidi.

Moreover, over the years, Japan has always been quite interesting, paying tribute every year, and coming to the dynasty every year, even if he knew that the former queen Fujiwara Zhangzi came to the Daqian Dynasty and entered Li Cun's harem, he pretended not to know.

In this way, Li Cuncai did not put Japan in the order of his first annexation.

Now, as Fujiwara Zhangzi said, the gold and silver of the Daqian Dynasty are somewhat insufficient.

Actually-

That's not true.

The Great Qian Dynasty, which destroyed many countries, now has an unprecedented amount of gold and silver, even to the point that the world can not imagine.

Under such circumstances, the reason why there are still rumors of the shortage of gold and silver in the Daqian Dynasty is mainly because the Daqian Dynasty has issued a lot of paper money.

Nowadays, it is not only Li Cun's initiative to guide, but also the promotion of the Age of Discovery, coupled with the good money to drive out the bad money, so that the paper money issued by the Daqian Dynasty has, to a certain extent, become the world's common currency.

Just imagine how much currency the Daqian Dynasty, the largest dynasty in history, had to use, and if it expanded to the whole world, it would definitely have to use more currency.

As a result, the Daqian Dynasty could only print a large amount of paper money.

On the other hand, even if the Daqian Dynasty gathered all the gold and silver of the whole of East and Southeast Asia together as reserves, it would not be worth so much paper money.

With the current national strength and credibility of the Daqian Dynasty, it is not impossible to over-issue.

But after all, there is no adequate insurance for reserves.

And Japan has an extremely loud name - Treasure Island.

As far as Li Cun knows, there is a world-class gold deposit in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan, with an average grade of 33 grams per ton, and the highest grade of thousands to tens of thousands of grams per ton, which is the Ryokari gold mine located in Kagoshima, Kyushu, Japan.

In addition, Japan's Ezo Island (later known as Hokkaido) also had a lot of gold and silver reserves – the Konomai mine on it had at least 100 tons of gold, and there was a large gold field on the Horobetsu River and its tributaries along the Sea of Okhotsk.

In addition, there are many gold and silver mines in the Ou region of Japan (the area where the Mutsu Province (Oshu) and Dewa Province (Hashu) of Japan's Reiki Province were combined, that is, the Tohoku region of later Japan).

In addition, there are also large gold and silver mines in other parts of Japan, such as Sado Gold Mine, Ikuno Silver Mine, Iwami Silver Mine, etc., all of which are super large gold and silver mines.

It can be said that the name Treasure Island is very suitable for use in Japan.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Li Cun can defeat Japan and then vigorously mine gold and silver, even if Li Cun conquers the whole world in the future, there will be no shortage of gold and silver, and even Li Cun can abolish the gold and silver double standard, implement a stable gold standard or silver standard, popularize paper money, launch a monetary revolution, and make history take a big step forward.

In addition, Li Cun also spent a lot of money in order to settle his children and develop Siberia and the Far East.

Needless to say, the former is just the settling-in allowance that Li Cun gave to his sons, the dowry of his daughters, and the living expenses of his children and grandchildren, which are astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people.

But it's the latter that burns more money.

Li Cun knew that Siberia and the Far East had rich reserves of coal, iron, oil, natural gas, timber and other resources, but others did not know it.

In the eyes of others, Siberia and the Far East are even more bitter and cold regions than the Northeast, and they simply do not want to go there.

Li Cun had no choice but to pay for his own money and pay a high salary to pay people from the cities of Kedun and Beining to Siberia and the Far East to lay railways, as well as explore and tap various resources in the two places, and then sell them back to the interior of the Daqian Dynasty.

- Li Cun was afraid that if he didn't do this, after his death, his descendants might give up the remote and bitter cold regions of Siberia and the Far East.

However, Li Cun was also lucky, he sent people to explore Siberia and the Far East, and not long after entering Siberia and the Far East, he discovered a lot of gold mines in both places.

Li Cun's Propaganda Department leaked the wind from which the scientific expedition team had discovered gold deposits in Siberia and the Far East, and the wind spread out, and the Siberia and the Far East were full of gold, and whoever found it belonged to him.

As a result, a large number of adventurous people traveled to Siberia and the Far East in search of gold mines.

Some lucky people actually found gold mines in both places, and then they used the gold they found to return home and hire people to dig their gold mines with high salaries.

As a result, more and more people went to Siberia and the Far East to pan for gold, and those who found gold hired people to dig their gold mines.

There are also people who don't find gold, find a coal mine, and then become coal bosses, hire people to dig coal, or occupy a forest, hire people to cut wood, and make money by selling wood.

This is why Siberia and the Far East began to gain some popularity.

But even so, Li Cun was the absolute main force in the development of Siberia and the Far East.

And the development of Siberia and the Far East has allowed Li Cun to throw in a lot of money, and it will definitely be difficult to recover the capital in a short period of time.

At this time, Fujiwara Zhangzi asked Li Cun to destroy Japan, which had a lot of gold and silver, could Li Cun not be moved?

Japan also has good land resources, the area around Lake Biwa, the Nobi Plain, and Ise Province are all areas with large grain production, and Japan has a population of nearly 10 million.

If these two resources were well utilized, the Daqian Dynasty would not have to spend much manpower and financial resources to obtain all the gold and silver on the Treasure Island of Japan.

Of course, the more important thing is that Li Cun cannot leave the scourge of Japan to his children and grandchildren.

In short, Li Cun was moved by Fujiwara Zhangzi and prepared to send troops to destroy Japan.

Fujiwara Zhangzi didn't know that she said so easily, and Li Cun sent troops to destroy Japan.

In Fujiwara Zhangzi's impression, Li Cun has never been interested in expeditions to Japan.

What others don't know is that Fujiwara Zhangzi had to leave her home to save her life because she was forced to leave home to save her life because Emperor Toba and Fujiwara Tokuko teamed up to take off her position as the Japanese queen, and later she smuggled into Li Cun's harem in a desperate way, and failed to persuade Li Cun to help her take revenge, nor did she succeed in dominating Li Cun's harem, and was left aside by Li Cun after playing casually a few times, and became depressed, so that she was sick.

Now, Fujiwara Akiko has learned from the imperial doctor that if she doesn't change her mentality, she won't have a few years to live.

Fujiwara Zhangzi, who has not had a smooth time over the years, is not afraid of death, but she never forgets to find Emperor Toba and Fujiwara Tokuko to take revenge.

Fujiwara Zhangzi knew that she, even if she added Prince Xizinai and Prince Tongzinai, she didn't have the charm to let Li Cun help her avenge her or help Emperor Chongde seize power.

In this case, if Fujiwara Zhangzi wants Li Cun to help her avenge her hatred, she can only use Japan to tempt Li Cun, who likes to expand her territory.

And Fujiwara Akiko did not hesitate to let the whole of Japan bury her in order to see Emperor Toba and Fujiwara Tokuko unlucky before she died, so that she could eliminate this infinite hatred.

It is not difficult to see from this that hatred has completely blindfolded Fujiwara Akiko, and it can also be said that Fujiwara Akiko is a madman who does nothing for his own selfish desires.

At this time, seeing that Li Cun was silent, Fujiwara Zhangzi did not hesitate to add another fire:

"The official family doesn't know, the son is as beautiful as a flower, the body is warm like jade, white like snow, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as soon as she enters the Toba harem, she was given the name 'Yuzao Front' by the Toba, with the humble opinion of the concubine, although there are many beauties in the palace of the official family, but no one can compare with the son, the son can be called the first beauty in the world, the official family is the first emperor and the first hero in the world, rich in the four seas, and the territory is unlimited, shouldn't you enjoy the first beauty in the world, and let the first beauty in the world be owned by the emperor of a small country?"

In order to provoke Li Cun to send troops to destroy Japan, Fujiwara Zhangzi even did not hesitate to crown the title of "the first beauty in the world" on the head of her rival Fujiwara Tokuko.

How could Li Cun not see Fujiwara Zhangzi's little tricks?

To be honest, that is, Li Cun really moved his mind to destroy Japan, and even felt that Japan had reached the point where it could not be destroyed, and Li Cun was not willing to see women in general, otherwise Li Cun would have to let Fujiwara Zhangzi understand what it means to be smart.

Li Cun looked at Fujiwara Zhangzi with a sickly face, and thought: "But the lesson still has to be given to this woman, otherwise she won't have a long memory." ”

Li Cun glanced at Prince Xiziai and Prince Tongziai behind Fujiwara Zhangzi again, and couldn't help but flash the wonderful picture in a small Japanese movie he had seen in his previous life, and then he suddenly had an idea.

However, these things are all boudoir pleasures, not enough to be humane......
