Chapter 0451: Tribute
This year, the Yamato Kingdom invaded the Korean Peninsula when Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla jointly sent troops to Murong Xianbei.
However, after the end of the war in the Central Plains, Ran Min directly sent tens of thousands of waterway troops to land on the Korean Peninsula, directly annihilated the main force of the Japanese army in a battle, and swept the entire Korean Peninsula with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, and finally helped Silla and Baekje to restore the country, and was able to station troops on the Korean Peninsula in the name of justice.
But the country of Yamato was miserable, the soldiers who originally poured the country's troops and the country's strength into the expedition to the Korean Peninsula turned out to be only a few hundred people who could run back!
In the battle of Comfort City alone, the Japanese army was beheaded 50,000 and more than 20,000 were captured.
According to post-war statistics, 100,000 Japanese troops were beheaded by the Wei army and more than 50,000 were captured!
What about these 50,000 prisoners of war?
Ran Min naturally wouldn't let these Japanese people have a good time, and it was impossible to put them back in the Japanese country. Therefore, all the 50,000 Japanese prisoners of war were brought back to the Central Plains to build the Grand Canal for Wei.
But the Yamato side is in a hurry, the population of the Wa country is too small, less than a million people (maybe only a few hundred thousand), that is one less dead. And this time to attack the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese state is even more devoted to the country, and the strength of the country is to gamble on the national review!
It can be like this, there are too few men in the country at present, and the vast majority of them are old and weak women and children. Even the army that went out to the Korean Peninsula at that time was still a fourteen-year-old boy and an old man in his fifties and sixties!
This time it's all on the Korean Peninsula, and the Japanese country can't bear it at all!
In particular, the strength of the Wei State made these Japanese people feel frightened.
However, tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals defeated more than 100,000 Japanese troops, and they won great victories in water and land battles, and their own battle losses were very small.
How can this not make people shudder?
So the Great Wren Zun, the king of the Japanese Dynasty, sent the eldest prince to Sui Bei as the main envoy, and Cangshan Jingwu as the deputy envoy, leading the delegation to the Great Liang Dynasty to pay tribute to the Wei State.
"The ministers are coming to Sui, see His Majesty the Emperor of Great Wei! Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty! ”
Coming and going, Sui Bei respectfully saluted Ran Min.
"I'm there."
This is a formal occasion, and it is in the palace, so in front of the ministers, Ran Min is not good at throwing face at these widows.
Lai Sui Bei took out another gift list and read: "Emperor of Great Wei, my king Great Wren Zun will pay you tribute." There are 500 Yamato horses, 10,000 stone of rice, 10 red corals, 999 large white pearls, and 500 Yamato beauties! ”
With the national strength of the Wa Kingdom, it is not easy to come up with so many tributes at once.
But Ran Min was still not satisfied, but he was still quiet on the surface: "Since the king is so sincere, I will laugh and accept it." Prince, what are the return gifts of my Great Wei Kingdom? ”
The crown prince Ran Ming, who was standing at the bottom of the head, replied: "Your Majesty, the return gift is 100 pieces of porcelain, 100 pieces of red agate, 10 pieces of gold, silver and jade, 200 pieces of silk and satin, and 1 gold seal of the king of the Japanese king. ”
Hearing this, he couldn't help but look happy.
But Ran Min's words ruthlessly shattered his illusions.
"It's rude to return the favor with such a mundane object." Ran Min squinted his eyes and said, "My Great Wei is rich in products and has everything, but such mundane things are really out of my hands." What Da Wei should give back is something more valuable than this gold, silver and jade, rare and exotic treasure! ”
"Your Majesty, please." Ran Ming was very puzzled.
Ran Ming is only eleven years old this year, but as the crown prince, Ran Min still let him participate in political affairs early and cultivate him carefully. Ran Min often takes Ran Ming with him, and if he doesn't understand, Ran Min can solve his doubts.
"The most precious thing in my Great Wei is not these mundane things, but Buddhism and Confucianism, and the ancient sages have the merit of education. I heard that the Wa Kingdom is a foreign land, and it still lives a life of drinking blood, disobeying the king, and not knowing etiquette! In this way, I will send 1,000 monks and 10,000 copies of various Buddhist scriptures and scriptures as a return gift, and give them to you to bring back to the Wa Kingdom. ”
Hearing this, he suddenly had black lines on his head.
I want this mundane thing!
But it's not easy to talk when you go to Sui, who knows if Ran Min is deliberately finding fault. And the purpose of this trip, in addition to paying tribute to the Wei State, is to "learn from the scriptures" and see why the Wei State is strong.
"Thank you, Emperor Great Wei!" Come and go, and don't look happy.
Looking at the appearance of being dumb and eating Coptis chinensis, Ran Min was quite proud.
Throughout the ages, the successive dynasties of China have all relied on themselves as "the kingdom of the court" and accepted tributes from the surrounding countries, but the return gift was great.
Especially when Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty became the ancestors, all countries came to the court, but these tributes from various countries are some local specialties, which are not worth much at all, but they become precious because of scarcity, and they are rare and expensive.
But Ran Min is not such a person who wants to save face and suffer crimes.
Although the Great Wei Kingdom is rich in products and has everything, but the gold and silver treasures of his country are flowed out, and the income is some useless things, and Ran Min feels that it is very worthless.
After a simple tribute, Ran Min met with Lai Sui in the side hall.
There are some words that are not good in front of the ministers, and it is far more important to discuss the affairs of the state than to receive the envoys of these countries. Ran Min can still distinguish priorities.
"Go to Suibei, do you know that if you don't come to pay tribute this time and pay tribute to my Great Wei, I will be thinking about when to send troops to the expedition to the Japanese country."
The first thing Ran Min said was to let him be frightened.
"Your Majesty, it was our country that offended Great Wei Wei! Please forgive your majesty! ”
Hearing this, Ran Min nodded and said, "Hmm." I see that your country is still very sincere, and knowing your mistakes can improve a lot. Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje are all vassal states of the Great Wei, and whoever invades them will invade the Great Wei, and although my Great Wei is far away, he will be punished! ”
"Yes, yes."
Lai Sui Bei wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said grovelly: "Your Majesty the Great Wei Emperor, my king has deeply realized his mistake. In order to show sincerity, our king is willing to dedicate the princess grass incense banner Sohime and Kaguya Himejin to Your Majesty! ”
Marrying a daughter?
Ran Minhu's brows furrowed, and he felt a chill in his heart.
Ran Min has absolutely no discrimination against Japanese women, after all, he has watched a lot of educational films in his previous life, but Ran Min knows that the status of Japanese women in this era is very low, like goods, and even the lives of ordinary civilians are not as important as a sheep.
As for the root of the inferior nature, it is believed that it is self-evident.
These widows are very lustful, they are hungry ghosts in the sex, and even their mothers, daughters, sisters and sisters are not spared. Who knows if the two daughters that the king of the Japanese gave to him are second-hand?
Or second-hand goods that had been abused by their father?
Although Ran Min likes women who are still charming, good women, but he is extremely cold about this kind of thing!
"Ahem. That one...... I came to Suibei, I heard that your father, the king of Wrens, was a man of temperament, and married his sister, the daughter of the previous king Yutian Beizun, as a queen, and another sister as his concubine. You see, something doesn't fit, right? ”
In fact, Ran Min has heard a little about this big wren. After all, this guy can be regarded as an "emperor" who has made a lot of achievements in the history of the Japanese Kingdom, known as Emperor Rende.
During his reign, Emperor Nintoku attached great importance to agriculture, dredged the Horino River in Namba, built the Ibara embankment, opened the Waer Pond, and cultivated the land, making the sea rich. Diplomatically, it actively communicated with the Eastern Jin Dynasty in an effort to expand its superiority on the Korean Peninsula.
However, what Ran Min knows best is not the political achievements of this product, but some romantic affairs about him.
Ancient history books do not prostitute themselves by the rich, jealous, or theft, as if it is a country of gentlemen, but in fact it is not like this!
Emperor Rendeok is a typical negative teaching material.
