Chapter 420: From today onwards, this is the sacred and indivisible land of Zhuxia
The heads of the large and small Ryukyu islands formed tributary teams to pay tribute, and the imperial family of Daqian was very happy and let them live in the Sifang Pavilion to learn etiquette. These large and small Ryukyuan people landed in Gusu at that time, and after seeing that Daqian was so prosperous and prosperous, they became more and more in awe of Daqian.
This is obvious when facing Wang Yun, they used to be very warm and friendly to Wang Yun, but they would not have too much restraint, and even a little casual, but now they have become very respectful. Even if Wang Yun told them not to be restrained, they could not return to their previous state.
After studying at the Shikakan, the Ryukyu paid tribute at a large court meeting, and were rewarded, and the imperial family also specially bestowed two seals and boundary monuments.
They are the main seal of the imperial decree to build the Great Ryukyu State and the imperial decree to build the main seal of the small Ryukyu State, and the two boundary monuments are also the imperial court to build the Great Ryukyu National Boundary Monument. The Great and Small Ryukyus were not crowned kings, but lords, equivalent to dukes. At the same time, Wang Yun was named the king of Zhenhai, and he had jurisdiction over large and small Ryukyu and Fusang.
The lords of the Ryukyu Kingdom did not refuse this relationship, but accepted it happily, and in half a month in the Sifang Pavilion, they had been completely impressed by the culture and prosperity of the Great Qian. At the same time, I also have a clearer understanding of my status.
During this time, they were not the only ones who came to pay tribute, but also many lords of the Western Regions and some lords of southern Yunnan came to pay tribute. After seeing them, they quickly understood their place.
Wang Yun was named the king of Zhenhai, which also represents that the royal family is more active in overseas development. After the end of the Great Imperial Conference, Wang Yun returned to the Great and Small Ryukyus with the missions of the Great and Small Ryukyu States and the things that were given to them, including a stone tablet with an imperial decree to build the four counties of Fuso, and from today onwards, the Great and Small Ryukyus and the four islands of Fuso are all sacred and inseparable parts of Zhuxia.
After Wang Yun successfully found a sea route to Fusang, the royal family was also very happy, which also meant that the gold and silver and other minerals on the Fusang Islands could be used by the Great Cadres.
The interests of Fuso Island are far greater than those of the Great and Small Ryukyu Islands, and there is enough silver in them to last for thousands of years. Therefore, after learning that the sea route was clear, the royal family began to think about how to mine the silver mines.
Silver mining requires a lot of labor, and at the same time, with the current mining technology of Daqian, it needs to consume a lot of glutinous rice. The consumption of grain transported by immigrants from the Central Plains was too large, so the best way was to use the Japanese people for mining.
It just so happened that there were a large number of Japanese people in the Fusang Islands, and Wang Yun could use the Japanese people to mine silver mines and at the same time use the Japanese people for farming. As for moral cleanliness, there is no such thing as a fetish. After all, this kind of thing was too common during the Zhuxia Pioneer Period.
Wang Yun then led the fleet to Fusang again, and in order to train the navy, with the support of the imperial court, Wang Yun once again beckoned 5,000 fishermen to train along the coast, and at the same time screened the Gusu navy. The imperial court has decided to expand the navy, so the Gusu navy will naturally not let go.
Although most of the Gusu naval forces are inland river naval forces, it is easier to train than to re-recruit the people.
The royal family's control over the military has always been very high, and in addition to the various rights of the imperial court, the royal family attaches the most importance to military power, financial power and personnel power.
Son of Heaven, the strong soldiers and strong horses do it, and the royal family is still very clear about this truth.
The imperial court has always attached great importance to military power, and in the divine capital Luoyang and Wujing, the mobilization of more than 20 troops needs to be reported. There are also strict restrictions on the guards of the nobles.
There is even an unspoken rule in this, for example, the townsman has fifty guards according to the Daqian system, but in Luoyang or Wujing, no townsman will let the guards be full.
Normally, the guards are eighty percent of the staff, that is, forty people, which is the same for both the duke and the county level.
At the same time, armor is usually not allowed in the homes of these nobles in Luoyang, the divine capital, unless it is authorized by the royal family and the emperor gives armor, and this armor can be retained.
The same is true for bows and crossbows, the imperial court does not allow the common people and nobles to hide crossbows and arrows privately, but bows and arrows are allowed, and there are not too many restrictions on ordinary weapons.
After all, the imperial court advocates the spirit of martial arts, and if even weapons, bows and arrows are forbidden for the people to possess, then what can the people do to maintain the spirit of martial arts? By imagination?
Although Legalists have always said that Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and wants the royal family to implement stricter laws and prohibit private possession of weapons, but these proposals have been rejected by the royal family without hesitation.
The royal family was well aware of the need to maintain the martial spirit of the great cadres and the people. This era is not an era of etiquette and morality, in a word, it is barbarian and fearful of power but not virtuous.
The great cadres were able to drive the Xiongnu in the north, break through the Baiyue in the south, and conquer Wusun Dawan in the west, not by etiquette and morality, but by generations of great cadres and warriors recruited from the people.
It is precisely with these skilled bows and horses, exquisite martial arts, and high morale of the people of Zhuxia that the great cadres can suppress the Quartet. It is very difficult for a group of people who have been domesticated into sheep to retrain into qualified soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable.
This practice of the Great Cadres can provide a large number of brave and skilled soldiers for the development of the Great Cadres, but it also has many future troubles, such as public security problems.
There are a lot of fights among the people everywhere and even in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and at the same time, it will become very difficult to manage the rural estates outside the city, especially in those townships where the power of the imperial court cannot control, and all kinds of brawls can be said to be endless.
Of course, although there are many brawls, the imperial court will crack down casualties.
Similarly, in the countryside, there is another advantage that the people are full of martial virtues, that is, the difficulty of local tyrants, officials, and big families wanting to oppress the people has also increased linearly.
After all, if it really starts, these people will not be afraid, many fathers and brothers in the township have served in the army, basically the same village and clan will practice military formations, who wins and who loses is another matter, the royal family will definitely have to ask, this is also another purpose of the royal family, restricting those local officials from acting recklessly.
As for the rebellion of the people, the royal family is not worried. If the people rebel, there is a big problem at the court or at the grassroots level.
In the real history, the martial style of the Zhuxia nation has been passed down until the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It is also an era that has experienced the lawlessness of the warriors of five dynasties and ten countries, and has continuously suppressed the folk martial arts since the Song Dynasty.
After experiencing the suppression of the martial style of the Central Plains for a hundred years in the Mengyuan Dynasty, and the prosperity of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, it was no longer to suppress the martial style, but to completely disdain it.
The continuous suppression of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, as well as the rule of the foolish people, completely broke the backbone of the martial spirit. After that, Zhuxia paid a huge price to be reborn.
Zijue didn't want Zhuxia to experience such a history again, so the imperial court has always admired the spirit of martial arts.
