Although the Wa Kingdom belongs to the radiation range of Chinese civilization, due to the relatively closed environment of its island country, it still forms its uniqueness, which is still different from that of Korea.

The writing of the Wa Kingdom mainly went through four stages.

1. The establishment stage of pronunciation and training: This stage occurred from the 5th century to the 8th century AD, marking the introduction of Chinese characters and the initial formation of the Japanese script.

At this stage, Chinese characters were used to indicate phonetic reading and training to accommodate the pronunciation of the Chinese dialect.

2. Manyokana stage: This stage occurred in the 8th and 9th centuries AD, and was the stage of the initial integration of Chinese characters and the Chinese language.

In order to better express the grammar and pronunciation of the U Chinese dialect, a writing system called Manyokana was created.

Manyokana is a simplified type of kana script based on the shape of kanji.

3. Katakana and Hiragana Stage: This stage occurred from the 9th to the 10th century AD, which was the mature period of the Wa State script.

During this period, katakana and hiragana gradually developed into the main form of Japanese writing.

Katakana is mainly used to indicate the pronunciation of katakana, and hiragana is mainly used to indicate the pronunciation of kanji.

4. The stage of mixed writing of kana: This stage occurred from the 10th century AD to the modern era, marking the full maturity of the Japanese script.

At this stage, the Wa Kingdom began to use a mixture of kanji and kana.

Kanji is mainly used to indicate the meaning of Chinese characters, and kana is mainly used to indicate the pronunciation of the Chinese dialect.

Although at present, the Wa Kingdom has developed its own mature name.

However, because most of his books and works came from the Central Plains, the use of Chinese characters was still very high among the upper class of the Wa Kingdom.

Most of the high-ranking members of the Wa Kingdom spoke Chinese.

In order to completely conquer the Wa Kingdom, it is necessary to destroy its culture.

A large number of Chinese investors recruited employees in the Wa Kingdom, requiring them to speak only Chinese and use Chinese characters.

Li Xianzhong opened a school for the children of the nobility in the Wa Kingdom, and all teaching materials used Chinese characters and spoke Chinese.

In the name of the emperor, Li Xianzhong also collected books from various periods of the Wa kingdom by subset of the scriptures and histories throughout the Wa Kingdom.

Then they were compiled into the "Siku Quanshu", of course, the fundamental purpose of which was to classify and destroy the books of the Wa Kingdom in the name of compiling books.

In addition to the official history of the Wa Kingdom, all those who propagate the culture and national independence of the Wa Kingdom will be destroyed.

Even the history of the Wa Kingdom has been tampered with to a considerable extent, and only books in Chinese are preserved, and all those that use the Japanese kana are changed to Chinese characters or simply destroyed.

In this way, after a few years, the Japanese civilization will evolve from a civilization with a certain degree of independence to a derivative civilization of the Chinese civilization, and finally completely dissolve into the Chinese civilization.

Of course, the complete conquest of the Wa Kingdom did not happen overnight.

Although Li Xianzhong forcibly gave himself the title of "emperor", he obviously could not convince the public.

So he made an agreement with the upper echelons of Japan that the next emperor must be of Chrysanthemum Dynasty blood and must be born in the Wa Kingdom.

Although Xingzi is still young, he will be able to give birth in a few years, and when the time comes, Li Xianzhong will naturally continue to serve as emperor as long as his son is born in the Wa Kingdom.

For these mountainous vassal states, Li Xianzhong conscripted the warriors of the vassal states to Burma to prepare for further invasion of India.

The combat effectiveness of these Japanese is still good, at least stronger than the barbarians in the Philippines and Annam.

Although everything went smoothly during this expedition, it took more than a year before and after.

In the blink of an eye, his crown prince Li Shengzu is also 15 years old, and it is time to accept the crown princess.

The selection of the crown princess has naturally become the object of attention of all forces.

Ye He and Horqin, who had already formed a marriage with Li Xianzhong, naturally wanted to be close to each other and stabilize their position in the Chinese court through the crown princess.

The other Mongol tribes who missed out on the marriage with Li Xianzhong wanted to marry the crown prince.

For a time, the Tusi chiefs of the Mongol tribes and even the Southeast Asian tribes under the rule of China also sent their daughters to Jingshi.

Even Kim Zidian of Korea and Shimazu Ieghisa of the Wa Kingdom expressed their desire to marry the crown prince of China.

In addition to these foreign races, the crown prince's call for choosing a Han girl as the crown princess is also very high.

The reason is very simple, Li Xianzhong's own wives are mostly foreigners.

Strictly speaking, only Liu Ru and Zhang Yan are Han girls, and Zhang Yan also has the identity of the empress dowager of the previous dynasty, so they cannot be regarded as Li Xianzhong's concubines.

There is a problem with the bloodline on the emperor's side, so he naturally has to make up for it from the crown prince's side.

Li Xianzhong thought about it again and again, and decided that the crown princess would follow the method of selecting concubines in the Ming Dynasty and select them from the Chinese people.

And he also made a special clear provision that the concubine of the Chinese royal family must be a Han girl, and she does not engage in marriage, but is directly selected from the Chinese people.

Li Xianzhong's statement also made the forces of all parties who were about to move stop their small actions.

As a Chinese royal family, especially the crown prince, his marriage is inevitably involuntary.

Letting his son choose the person he looks pleasing to him as his wife within a limited range of choices is already the best he can do as a father.

The audition of the Chinese crown princess caused a huge sensation among the people.

Today's China is a vast territory, from Nurgandusi in the north to the Malay Peninsula in the south.

So it was decided to put the primary selection link in the local area, and after more than a month of primary selection, 3,000 beauty pageants from all over China gathered in Beijing, China.

In the end, after 8 rounds of competition, Xing, the daughter of a 15-year-old businessman from Suzhou, became the crown princess.

Yingluck, a descendant of the Siamese royal family, and Ulanzhu, the youngest daughter of the Transkhalkha Mongol Tushetu Khan, became side concubines.

The crown princess Xing naturally ascended to the throne through auditions.

However, the two side concubines have the meaning of wooing.

According to the latest information, Li Zicheng, who was wandering in the Western Regions, has now defeated the Chagatai Khanate.

Unlike Li Dingguo, Li Zicheng did not abide by the previous agreement.

According to the news sent by Song Xiance, Li Zicheng was ready to learn from Yelu Dashi in Western Liao and established himself in the Western Regions.

The fall of the Chagatai Khanate made Mobei and Moxi Mongolia very nervous, which was also the reason why they tried their best to move closer to China.

At this moment, the year-long war of the multi-conquest has just ended.

However, Li Xianzhong did not reduce the garrison in the Wa State, except for the main force of the 20,000 forbidden army, the rest of the 100,000 horses were all stationed in the Wa State in case there was a change.

This expedition to the Japanese kingdom enabled China to obtain a large amount of gold, silver, copper and other mineral resources.

The gold and silver produced by the Wa Dynasty alone brought more than 25 million silver dollars to the Chinese court.

In addition, the fleet led by Zheng Zhilong has officially arrived in Europe, and they have established trade relations with Seville in Spain, Lisbon in Portugal, and Genoa and Venice in Italy.

The direct arrival of Chinese goods in Europe made the profits of maritime trade also begin to rise sharply.

According to Fan Wencheng's prediction, in the entire four years of Qianxi, the empire's financial revenue is expected to exceed 100 million Chinese silver dollars.

However, trade frictions with the Netherlands and England are also intensifying.

The Chinese Empire increased its investment in the Yunnan-Burma Highway to complete it as soon as possible.

Li Dingguo planned to send troops to directly occupy Ceylon after the 30,000 feudal troops of the Japanese Kingdom arrived in Bago to control this pearl in the Indian Ocean.

To be honest, Huaxia did not have the budget for a big westward expedition.

And there are no special products in the Western Regions to fool investors.

Nowadays, shipping is very developed, and the commercial value of the traditional "Silk Road" has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, this time Li Xianzhong is ready to reduce the scale of the western expedition.

Xiong Tingbi prepared 30,000 elites in the northwest region, plus the 20,000 forbidden troops brought by Li Xian from Beijing, and the total strength was controlled at 50,000.

The crown prince has just gotten married, and he has shouldered the heavy responsibility of supervising the country, so naturally he can't go on the expedition with him.

However, the second Li Shizu is now about to be 14, and Li Xianzhong decided to take him with him to experience it.

Li Xianzhong currently has a total of 4 sons, and the two sons-in-law were born to Empress Hazia.

The third and fourth were born to the side concubine Hai Lanzhu and Bumu Butai respectively, but they are not yet ten years old this year, so they can only be studied in Beijing.

Li Xianzhong did not manage the third and fourth children so strictly, and tried to give them some free space.

After all, they are not sons-in-law, and Li Xianzhong does not have you to force them to learn the art of the emperor.

However, the side concubine Bumu Butai attaches great importance to the studies of the third and fourth children, so the two sons are not having an easy time.

The eldest of the two sons has a calm personality and a careful mind, and Li Xianzhong has always cultivated him as a successor.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Xianzhong often fought in the south and the north, and the boss sat in Beijing to supervise the country, and now he is also handy.

The second child is bold and careful, bold and fierce, to be honest, Li Xianzhong feels that the second child is more like himself.

In fact, the favorite person in his heart is the second Li Shizu.

It's a pity that as the emperor of the Chinese Empire, it is impossible for him to express his love to his son like an ordinary father.

He can only bury this love deep in his heart.

If his preference is detected by people with ulterior motives, it will inevitably be a disaster for the Chinese Empire.

The example of Wanli's favor for King Fu is not far away, if there is no "national capital dispute" back then, how can he take advantage of the situation to dominate the world?

So his heart is also very conflicted, he not only wants to train the second child to be a commander who can fight well, but also is afraid of making a "Xuanwumen change"!

However, the relationship between the two brothers is very good, and this time the second brother was able to go out with his father thanks to his prince brother pleading in front of him!

Li Xianzhong led 20,000 forbidden troops all the way west to Xiningwei in Qinghai.

Their target this time is the East Kele Temple on the shore of Qinghai Lake.

At this time, the leaders of the three Mongol tribes of Transkhalkha, Chechen Khan, Tushetu Khan, and Zasaktu Khan had been waiting here for a long time.

Tushetu Khan, who had just married Li Xianzhong, naturally became the leader of Mobei Mongolia.

He respectfully saluted Li Xianzhong and said, "Great Khan of the Mandate of Heaven, the Third Department of Transkhalkha is here at your invitation to join forces with Huaxia to jointly crusade against Li Zicheng's Great Shun Army!" ”

Li Xianzhong glanced around, and said with some regret: "Didn't the Dzungar Department of Oirat Mongolia send people here to meet the alliance?" ”

Tushetu Khan said respectfully: "Batur Huntaiji, the leader of the Mongolian Dzungar tribe, is facing a joint attack by the Kazakh Khanate and the Dashun army at this moment, and he is no longer able to come to the alliance. ”

The Western Regions lacked resources, and Li Xianzhong originally wanted to rely on food and supplies to control Li Zicheng.

Unexpectedly, he no longer needed Huaxia's supplies now.

At this time, the Chagatai Khanate had long been divided into two parts, the east and the west, and the Chagatai Khanate in the Middle East was also called the "Turpan Khanate".

The Turpan Khanate once sent troops to capture the "Seven Guards of Kansai" of the Ming Dynasty.

After Li Zicheng took the Turpan Khanate, he used the "Seven Guards of Guanxi" to exchange a large amount of grain and armaments with Huaxia.

I thought this was a good start, but I didn't expect that Li Zicheng would stop trading with Huaxia after that.

It relied on its own strength to take the more extensive territory of the Western Chagatai Khanate, that is, the Yarkand Khanate.

Li Zicheng not only took the Chagatai Khanate, but also drove out the Heshute Khanate, which originally occupied Qinghai and Usizang.

This is also the reason why Li Xianzhong can't sit still, and now Dashun has faintly become a hegemon in the Western Regions.

What's even more terrifying is that although the forces of Tsarist Russia have not yet reached the northeast, they have already appeared in the Mobei area.

If Li Zicheng joins forces with Tsarist Russia, then he will undoubtedly raise a tiger for trouble!

Li Xianzhong laughed and said: "Li Zicheng is just a group of remnants of the defeated army, as long as my army arrives, he will definitely be wiped out!" ”

At this time, Tushetu Khan and the others subconsciously glanced at the 50,000 troops behind Li Xianzhong.

This group of Mongols had long been frightened by the Liaodong Iron Cavalry in China.

Several people immediately said: "The three tribes of Mobei Mongolia are willing to dispatch 80,000 elite horsemen to help the Heavenly Mandate Khan level the Western Regions." ”

At this time, a monk beside Tushetu Khan successfully attracted Li Xianzhong's attention.

He is the other protagonist of this alliance, Ngawang Lobsang.

In fact, the reason why the later Qing Dynasty was able to control Mongolia was not the main reason for the so-called Manchu and Mongolian marriages.

The Mongols in the steppes were constantly marrying into powerful regimes around them, and it was very common for them to marry their daughters.

What really made the Mongols defect to the Central Plains Dynasty at that time was that the Chinese government did not interfere with their religious beliefs.

Tsarist Russia wanted to force the Mongols to convert to Orthodox Christianity, and the Mongols must have chosen to defect to the Central Plains Dynasty, which did not interfere with their religious beliefs.

It is also for this reason that Li Xianzhong officially canonized Ngawang Lobsang this time.

A golden seal was issued to him, confirming Ngawang Lobsang's religious status in the Us-Tibetan region.

Ngawang Lobsang also represented the Usi-Tibet region and declared himself a vassal to China.

Huaxia officially sent a minister to Tibet to assist it in managing the snow area.

With the annexation of Wusizang to Huaxia, it also means that Li Xianzhong has recovered all the lost solid land of the Ming Dynasty.

The "East Kol Monastery Alliance" was a great success.

Li Xianzhong also drank with the khans of all ethnic groups, and slept until noon the next day.

But at this time, he heard a bad news, Dashun's rangers appeared near Qinghai Lake, and the second prince secretly led 800 cavalry to spy on the enemy, and there has been no news so far!
