Mito Huangmen is really the first smart pill of the Tokugawa family today, and it is a thorough way to see the problem!

The reason why Japan has cut itself off China is, in the final analysis, to refuse equality and not give the bottom a chance to counterattack!

In fact, when Japan first began to close off the country, it was not the era of the samurai, but the era of the emperor and the public ruling the world. At that time, the Japanese government had a high level of Han cultural attainment, and the Japanese at that time was simply a Chinese dialect, with only its own pronunciation and no own writing. At that time, the official Japanese language was all kanji, and hiragana appeared, but it was only used to phonetize kanji, and only public women who did not have a high level of Chinese education often used it. If a public man writes in hiragana, he must be considered illiterate.

And it is this group of China experts who have opened the closed door to China!

This is basically not beneficial to Japan's social and economic development. Because it was not the Age of Discovery, there were no Western galleons roaming the world. If Japan wanted to acquire knowledge and goods from the outside world, it had to communicate with China or Korea. Japan's lockdown was not only for China, but also for Goryeo or Vietnam.

Therefore, as soon as the lockdown order was issued, Japan's foreign exchanges were compressed to a minimum, which limited Japan's social progress to stagnation.

However, knowing that it would not be beneficial to the country to close the country to the outside world, the government and the emperor who were familiar with China still resolutely implemented such a policy. There is only one reason why they did this, that is, they could not let the idea of "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning" be introduced to Japan!

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms were made by the emperor with strong soldiers and strong horses!

How dangerous? How scary?

If the samurai of Japan learned the advanced experience of "the emperor is strong and the horse is strong", Japan will also have to "take turns to do it"!

Later, the Great Song Dynasty came to power, and the throne was temporarily monopolized by the Zhao family. But the "public family" and the "samurai family" are let go again! The imperial examination has progressed, and the official in the examination was originally reincarnated as an official, but it was changed to an exam, and being reincarnated does not mean that he can take the exam, what should I do if I can't pass the exam? Can he open this country?

That's why Japan has to continue to lock down the country!

However, Japan is not always locked, otherwise there would be no arquebuses and cannons in Japan today. Japan can only lock the country when the world is unified, but it can't be locked in the troubled times of the Warring States.

Therefore, Japan's Warring States Turbulent Times has become an era of all-round economic, cultural, and military progress, and it really belongs to the more you fight, the richer you get!

Today's Japan is roughly at the end of the Warring States Troubled Bonus Period. If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese civilization on the other side of the strait had progressed to the "republican era" in the turbulent times of the Ming and Qing dynasties, completely removed the autocratic imperial power that hindered the progress of civilization, and stepped into the Age of Discovery, Japan would still have survived the attack of the black ship by relying on the legacy of the troubled times of the Warring States period.

But now it's impossible, the beautiful father has not been born yet, and Japan, who is a son, has to open the country to recognize his father.

Who can be recognized as a father, but it is a big problem!

At present, there are two plus a group of fathers who are ready to accept Japan as unfilial sons, and the "two" are Ming Dad and Qing Daddy, and the "group" is of course the foreign dads.

Now that the beautiful father was not born, the British father is not strong, the strength of the Dutch father, the western father, the Portuguese father, and the German father is not strong enough, if Japan only recognizes a foreign father, it seems that it can't cover it! Now the population of Japan is as large as the Sun King's France! So I can only recognize a few more foreign dads. Let Ying Dad, Dutch Dad, West Dad, Portuguese Dad, and German Dad come together to cover Japan.

Although none of the five elders can fight, and their brains are not very smart, they can still distinguish the republic of the Ming Dynasty, and what is the difference between the United Nation of the Qing Dynasty and the generals of Japan ruling the world and the samurai world?

Whether it is the Ming Republic or the Qing Dynasty, there is an upward channel for the middle and lower classes!

Although there were some families entrenched at the top on both sides, they did not block the upward channel at the bottom, and even after the spheres of influence of the Ming, Zhou, and Qing dynasties began to expand, the upward channel became wider. Not only can you "study hard every day" in China, but you can also go out to engage in international zero-yuan purchases, although it is easy to lose your life, but the threshold is low, turn over quickly, as long as you have a life, you can fight if you are not afraid of death.

Therefore, Japan can't recognize and clear his father unless it is absolutely necessary

And Daddy. First, it is far away, and it is not easy to teach the middle and lower class Japanese; Second, in addition to the fact that Daddy He is more free, Daddy Ying, Daddy Xi, Daddy Portuguese, and Daddy De also seem to pay attention to reincarnation.

"Japan must not become Little China!" The old immortal old middle house is actually the most talented of the five old people, and he himself is not afraid of exams, but he has no confidence in his son and grandson, so he is the first to express his opposition to recognizing his father.

"It's not okay to be a little Manchu!" The old white face with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes Hisashi Hiroyuki immediately added a little.

The "close attendants" of the Manchu emperor were all cut DD, and he was born in the Manchu Dynasty, that is, the chief eunuch. That's not going to work! Don't look at him back then, he relied on playing with Jiaguang to play Zhongdao Feihuang Tengda, but in fact, he didn't have any interest in Zhongdao, it was just his work, his life was in "Jiyuan", if there was no DD, how could he go to Jiyuan to play?

"Then we can only make an alliance with the Netherlands!" Inaba Masanori said, "However, the edict issued by Lord Shenjun is the law of the ancestors, and it must be strictly observed!" ”

"Of course!" Mitsukuni Tokugawa said with a smile, "The Netherlands are far away from Japan, and they don't have many people in the South Seas, and the impact on Japan is controllable. The Dutch simply asked us to organize the Chinese ships to sail across the ocean to be supplied to Japan, and for this purpose they were willing to provide us with the latest muskets and cannons, and to teach us how to build ships, and to help our men cross the ocean to the New World! It seems, it's a great deal! ”

After Tokugawa Mitsukuni finished reading the report, he gave it to Okubo Tadashi for him to read, and at this time, Tadashi also read it, and said with a smile: "It is true that the conditions of the Dutch are better. Japan did not have to be founded, but it did have the opportunity to occupy land on the other side of the ocean, so that the shogunate could have more land to reward for meritorious samurai! ”

The second generation of Zhong, Hotta Masatoshi, frowned and said: "If Japan rejects the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. That means that the Qing Kou is about to commit! ”

When he said this, the other four elders all frowned.

They really can't fight!

Don't talk about them, neither can their ancestors!

During the Warring States period, although their ancestors were all samurai, none of them were famous military generals. However, Mito Daina's grandfather seems to be more able to fight! That's the Warring States terminator who fought Oda in Barrel Sasama, Mikatahara fought Takeda, and Ueda Castle fought Sanada, and the generation of gods Tokugawa Ieyasu!

So several old middle schools have set their sights on Guangguo.

"It's not Qingkou who is here to commit it!" Tokugawa Mitsukuni said, "Rather, if Japan and the Qing were in a state of all-out war, it would force the Netherlands to choose between the Qing and Japan!" This is very bad for Japan. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty did not go out in person, but launched a war in the name of Korea, probably also wanting to leave room for it. ”

He is worthy of being the grandson of Ieyasu!

It is not necessary to fight a war, and flexible diplomacy is still online.

Several old middle schools also nodded yes.

Guangguo said again: "But even if the court invades, we can't take it lightly and be loyal to the dynasty, you are the lord of the Hizen Karatsu Domain, so it is better to serve as the representative of the West Country Tsuji County as the old man, and preside over the defense of Kyushu. In any case, the DPRK army cannot be allowed to land in Kyushu successfully! ”

Nishikokusuji Gundai is a position similar to the Muromachi Shogunate's Kyushu Detective, but it is far less lofty than the Kyushu Detective, and the people who used to hold this position were the high-ranking banners of the Shogunate, and their main responsibility was to manage the Tokugawa Shogunate's 162,000 stone tenryo in Kyushu, in addition to monitoring the Kyushu Daimyo.

And the court is coming. It should start in Kyushu, right?

Anyway, the last time the Yuan Kou came to attack, they sent troops from the Korean Peninsula to land in Kyushu.

Therefore, as the grandson of the terminator of the Warring States period, the inventor of Japanese history, and the first smart pill of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Mitsukuni took it for granted that the current court is the same as the original court.

That's why he made such a suggestion.

And the five elders of the shogunate don't know as much about military affairs as Guangguo, at least Guangguo also knows how to defeat Yuankou, so these five people don't care about Guangguo is just a feudal lord who compiles history, not a shogunate elder, and unanimously agreed to his suggestion.

Seeing that several old and middle schools listened to him, Guangguo also came to the momentum, and then said: "Negotiations with Ming and Holland must continue, but even if we don't plan to become Little China, we don't have to turn our faces with Ming Guo immediately. I invited the representative of the Netherlands to Edo with Mr. Shunsui. Let's negotiate with them together!

In addition, orders should be issued to the daimyo of Kyushu, China, and Hokuriku to strengthen their armaments and prevent Korea from entering the country. ”

Several elders looked at each other, and they all felt that His Royal Highness Mito still had a way, so they nodded yes together.

Tokugawa Mitsukuni feels better, it seems necessary to set up a great elder, no, the position of deputy general to assist the great shogun in ruling the world!

December of the 18th year of Kangxi, Busan, Caoliang Wakan.

The sound of shouts and guns came one after another, and the Wa Pavilion, which covers an area of about 100,000 square meters, has been beaten to a thousand holes.

The so-called Wakan is actually a small Japanese-style castle. It's a concession carved out by the Lyo Dynasty of North Korea, right? However, this concession was not given by the Japanese devils to Korea by force, but was set aside for the Japanese by the dazed Koreans themselves, and it was not given autonomy to Japanese merchants, but to the Daimyo clan of Tsushima Island to administer it.

The Tsushima family built such a widow pavilion in Choyangpo, Busan, and sent two or three hundred samurai here to maintain order.

Relying on this Wakan and the channels of trade and diplomacy with North Korea, the Zong family not only made a lot of oil and water, but even the family was raised from 10,000 stone to 100,000 stone, which can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face.

However, when the Daecheongjin Customs Department opened the customs customs supervision yamen to Busan to collect high tariffs from the Choyangpo Wakan, the headaches for the Zong family continued to come.

At the beginning, the Zong family could still rely on the fact that they were extremely murderous and stubbornly refused to pay taxes. But soon Yang Qilong did not talk about martial virtues, sent troops to Seoul, and directly became the prisoner of North Korea, becoming the "Yang Dad" of the king of North Korea!

Now the Zong family can't stand it, the Zong family is just a 100,000 stone family name, even if this 100,000 stone is not a false standard, his family can raise 2,000 warrior troops at most. Daddy Yang has ten times more troops than this!

Moreover, "Yang Dad" still has Shi Lang's Beiyang Naval Division in his hand, and Japan does not have a serious navy that can fight overseas at this time. The few broken boats of the Tsushima clan have to face Shi Lang, and there is no way to survive at all.

Therefore, the Zong family had no choice but to strengthen the defense of the Caoliang Wakan while paying taxes honestly.

And at the end of the eighteenth year of Kangxi, Yang Qilong, who returned to North Korea from Beijing, increased his weight, he not only asked the Zong family to pay taxes, but also asked the Zong family to be a vassal to himself and lead the way to fight Japan!

The Zong family definitely can't agree!

Is this a traitor?

So Yang Qilong planned to test his luck with the Caoliang Wakan first, and sent Shi Lang's Beiyang Naval Division to block the sea route first, and then led his most elite Sauron banner soldiers and Zhili musketeers to take 3,000 newly trained Korean troops to besiege the Caoliang Wakan.

This new pro-Korean army is a new-style army composed of Koreans trained by Yang Qilong under the new military system of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Great Qing Dynasty. Unlike other North Korean troops, the officers and men of this North Korean army are all highly paid!

The starting salary is one or two silver a month!

This number is enough to buy 2 stone of brown rice in North Korea, which is 24 stone of rice a year, which is really a soldier for one person, and the whole family can afford it!

The new army's reward for military merits is also very high, and a third-class military merit can get a year's military salary!

In addition, the pension of the soldiers of the new army is also very high, and the salary for 10 years at a time is a full 120 taels and 240 stone brown rice. Therefore, the warriors of the new army can definitely die with peace of mind!

In addition to giving a lot of money, Yang Qilong also gave the equipment to the new army! Everyone wears armor, and the weapon is a combination of Zhangsan spear and Korean shotgun, and it is also strictly trained, so that the formation is tight and the martial arts are proficient.

However, Uncle Yang Guo did not know how capable of fighting this new Korean army that was built at a great price. So today, I want to use the Caoliang Wakan to open a knife, and by the way, I will fool the Japanese, so that they think that the Korean Heavenly Soldiers will attack Kyushu like the Mongols.

After a morning of fierce fighting, the battle of the Caoliang Wakan has come to an end. The wall that the samurai of the clan once guarded had long been in tatters, and there were corpses everywhere. Most of them were small Japanese soldiers, but there were also some Koreans wearing cloth armor. However, the exchange ratio between the two sides is obviously that the North Koreans have taken a big advantage.

Although the Japanese samurai stationed at Kusoryokan had long been armed and organized according to the standards of the feudal armies in Japan, the Japanese samurai army was still relatively weak, with arquebusiers accounting for only 10 percent of the sashi, and there was basically no artillery or cavalry, as was the case with the Japanese army sent to Korea by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. This was not enough to see seventy or eighty years ago, and of course it is even worse now.

This firepower is not enough to see.

The defenders of the Caoliang Wakan also knew that they couldn't do it, so they didn't dare to come out to fight, but only dared to defend the Wakan to the death. However, the walls of the Japanese pavilion could not withstand the bombardment, and soon opened one gap after another. Then the Xinjian pro-army, which was directly under the Korean Prison Office, poured into the gap with the slogan of "stepping on Japan, a national shame" with drums and steps. In the courtyard of the Caoliang Wakan, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. The samurai and armed merchants of the Jong family put up the most stubborn resistance there, and launched a counterattack against the breaking Korean army in a dense formation, only to be hit by the North Koreans' shotgun fire, and the corpses were stacked on top of each other, which was literally a large pile of corpses. And North Korea's new army has made a breakthrough on these corpse piles and has been breaking through to the core of the Wakan!

The current Caoliang Wakan is already full of fire, and the defeated Japanese samurai are also stubborn enough, they all refuse to surrender, and set fire to themselves! Hundreds of samurai, hundreds of merchants, and two or three hundred female dependents, all of them were buried in the fire!

"Long live Sui Guogong! Banzai! Banzai! ”

When Yang Qilong was watching the battle triumphantly, a group of North Korean officials who were following him suddenly cheered at him, although they were cheering in Korean, he could still understand a little.

People are shouting long live in the mountains!

He looked back at the North Korean officials and said to them with a smile, "Do you see that?" The Japanese are nothing more than that. Don't be afraid, listen to my command, and let us set foot on the soil of Japan next spring and do a great job! ”
