Xinshun 1730

Chapter 358
The waves slapped the battleship, and the deck swayed rhythmically, shaking Ooka Tadashi like to vomit.

He wasn't seasick, at least not before Liu Yu told him that it was useless to find the Dutchman.

At this time, Liu Yu put on a stance to see off the guests, Ooka Tadashi concentrated his energy, analyzed Liu Yu's words, and begged helplessly: "General Liu, why don't you wait here for a few days? Your letter, the general, has already seen it. Your great country Conditions, we can still talk about it.”

Lin Xinchong, who had the upper hand at the beginning, had nothing to say at this time. He felt that Liu Yu had no culture at all. It was like playing the piano to a cow.

Now that Liu Yu's ugly face is showing, he has an attitude of finding fault and starting a war, and it is meaningless to talk about righteousness.

As for the negotiation and contact itself, Ooka Tadashi is the one who talks, and Lin Xinchong is just because of his status as the head of the Holy Church University, he is more suitable to be an envoy when negotiating and contacting with the Celestial Dynasty.

Now that Prime Minister Ooka has been persuaded, Lin Xinchong still has thousands of words, allusions and allegories in his heart, so what's the use of replying?

Liu Yu deliberately slipped away, thinking what if Tokugawa Yoshimune really threw his almost 30-year-old son who was peeing his pants on the boat and directly agreed to the tribute?At that time, the DPRK and China are afraid that there will be a quarrel?There are not many people who support the war, and he can't deal with such an incident.

"I don't think there is anything to talk about between us. Not only did this Lin Daru not admit his mistakes, but he was irrational. If we continue to talk, it's nothing if I'm humiliated, but I only feel that the emperor is humiliated. The so-called master humiliated his officials and died. When the time comes, my subordinates In a fit of anger, he threw a few of them into the sea to eat wonton noodles, which violated the rule of not beheading envoys in battle."

"If there is a chance, let's meet again in the capital! It's not far away. If you have the ability to fight to the capital, I admit defeat; if you don't, I will wait for you in the capital. Anyway, see you in the capital."

After finishing speaking, he turned his back and walked straight to the cabin.

Ooka Tadashi let out a long sigh, and had no choice but to be "escorted" by a group of people onto the boat.

Liu Yu, who had already walked to the door of the cabin, immediately turned around and returned to the deck when he saw these people leaving.

"My lord, do you really want to go? Don't wait for them to discuss the conditions of your lord? I look at their expressions, and they are already desperate. The ancients said that a man who is victorious in every battle is not a good man; a man who surrenders without fighting is a good man." Yes. If your lord can defeat others without fighting, it will be a great achievement."

After the officer around him made a suggestion, he added a little embarrassedly: "Besides, I think if we go to war against the Japanese, our navy will serve as a transport team for the army, and the Japanese don't have many warships. This is a great achievement, why not just use it Let the navy take it by itself?"

Liu Yu thought to himself, take a hammer?How could Japan agree to the conditions that I really wanted?If you really learn from Goujian, but don’t taste the dung yourself, and get your son to go to the capital as a hostage to taste the dung, what should you do if the emperor’s head gets hot and he feels that he has made an immortal contribution, and the officials will persuade him again, what should he do?
He is not an emperor, and what he wants is not the tribute system, but the primitive accumulation of gold and silver in Japan.

It's just that the words from the bottom of my heart are hard to say.

The emperor had beaten him and told him not to do things like cutting first and playing later. If he wanted to pretend to be a good baby, he would have to keep his mouth shut in the future.

There must be the eyes and ears of the emperor on board.He can make trouble in Japan as he pleases, and that's all right, except for this kind of talk.

Liu Yu chuckled, and gave a very reasonable explanation from a strange angle.

"I can't wait. It has been polite since ancient times. The emperor gets married one year after he is hired, the princes half a year, and the high officials once a season. I have been appointed a noble, and I have the system of princes. No matter how small the eagle is, it is still a place name. In the past six months The deadline is approaching, why not hurry? Withdraw, withdraw, return to the country as soon as possible.”

"Besides, it's summer and the typhoon season. If it's another time, I will wait. At this time, I'm really afraid of the defeat of Mengyuan Shenfeng. Hurry up and run away."

It was half a joke, and half it was to make the emperor think that Liu Yu might really care about his marriage and family, and finally there was a "rein" that could hold his fierce horse.

"I thought my lord was going to sail the ship outside Edo City, and fire a few shots before leaving." Several officers and students muttered, feeling that they had more to say.

Before Liu Yu could open his mouth, Chen Qinghai scolded: "How many times have I told you not to enter the bay or get close to the tidal flats. The only possibility for the Japanese navy to win is to attack with arson boats in narrow places. You guys in this class Have you forgotten all?"

After being reprimanded, these officers were all ashamed and had no choice but to disperse, either to measure the speed of the ship, or to draw a chart.

After everyone withdrew, Chen Qinghai came to Liu Yu's side, seeing no one around, he asked in a low voice, "Master, if there is a war against Japan this time, I have an idea, I don't know what your lord thinks."

Liu Yu nodded to indicate that Chen Qinghai could go on, Chen Qinghai calmed down, knowing that what he was going to say might be a big matter, he reminded: "My lord, what I want to say next, I may ask you to raise it in the court hall." Mention."

This can be regarded as a psychological preparation for Liu Yu. Liu Yu smiled and said: "Say it. I am not afraid of trouble. If it makes sense, I will mention it."

"Yes. That's right. I followed the adults to attack Tosa, and I really saw the national conditions of the Wa country. If it was like the feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty, many farmers were illiterate, and they had never even met their own lords. They only knew how to grow grain and pay tribute. If so, why not feudalize it? Once you have the land, drive away the warriors and let the court replace them with meritorious persons. If there are meritorious persons, feudalize the Japanese country and follow the warrior system. In this way, within a hundred years, the Japanese will all use Chinese, just like Xia Junyi in the Spring and Autumn Period civil."

Quietly looked at Liu Yu's expression, Chen Qinghai couldn't see anything, and said again: "I have also read Liu Zongyuan's "On Feudalism", [or said: Feudalists must private their land, their children, and their customs. , repairing its principles, and applying changes easily. The ruler, who cares about his heart, just wants to change his rank, how can he be reasonable?], I agree with Liu Zongyuan on this point. Some people say that under the feudal system, the feudal lord must cherish his own Fiefdoms, and local officials under the county system are promoted for the sake of political achievements... He thinks it is wrong to think so."

"But the reason why he thinks it is wrong, I think we can look at it in detail. If it is like the division of feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty and the enfeoffment of the Ming Dynasty, if the operation is good, there may not be chaos. Besides, if you seal meritorious persons, you may seal off hundreds or thousands of households. , as long as there is no seal beyond Wanshi, there is no need to worry about disasters."

"In this way, the great princes in the world can be like the emperors and barbarians in the spring and autumn and summer. They are entrusted for a hundred years. The Japanese people must enter the summer and are no different from the people of the Celestial Dynasty. They can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters."

"Because of the selfishness of the soldiers, they risked their lives to fight. Naturally, they hoped to enshrine their wives and children, and leave their inheritance to their children and grandchildren. If they can be sealed, the soldiers will fight to the death."

"As a matter of fact, the feudal system of the Japanese is stable, but the owner has changed, and the farmers pay taxes as usual. How could they resist?"

"Feudalism in Nanyang is not enough. Firstly, diseases are rampant, secondly, the local system is not suitable for feudalism, thirdly, the language is completely unintelligible, fourthly, Confucianism is not popular and more people believe in green religion. However, feudal Japan, I think this matter can be done. In short, what a benefit, at least those who can read and write in the countryside can speak Chinese.”

Liu Yu glanced at Chen Qinghai with a half-smile, and said with a smile, "What do you mean? Is it the idea of ​​some people in the army?"

Chen Qinghai said with a chuckle: "My lord, let me tell the truth. I am the first batch of captains. In the future, the navy will flourish, and I have a bright future. So in fact, although my thoughts support the feudal Japan, my purpose is really to The ruler of Xia transformed the people into barbarians."

"But...the way of thinking in the army is different. It may not be for the public of the world, it is just for personal selfishness, but it does not affect the future results. They are all soldiers. My lord thinks, whether the soldiers want to be or not Warriors? Those who have done meritorious service, do you really want to leave some property for your descendants?"

"Although the Celestial Dynasty has a lot of land, it is now expanding its sea of ​​whales. It's just that I have also talked with Du Feng. Although the Songhua River has a lot of land, the population is not enough. If a piece of land is given to those who have made meritorious service, there is no way for those who have made meritorious service to become nobles." People who pay food, no matter how big the land is, can they grow it by themselves?"

"Wa has a ready-made feudal system, and the peasants may have never seen their real lord warriors in their entire lives, so they can be replaced directly without any impact."

"Nowadays, if the court gives land to those who make meritorious service every year, there will not be so many official land in the court. I am from a good family, and the non-concubine sons of a good family can only find another way out. If it is a feudal Wa country, meritorious service is acceptable. With the reward of enfeoffment, many concubines and young sons can also join the army and make achievements... Besides, wouldn't this also save the imperial court a sum of money for rewarding military exploits every year?"

"If the tax is one or two, the bottom will have to bear three or two or five. Why not combine the money that was originally intended to be rewarded into Shi Gao and seal it directly to the Wa Kingdom?"

"Seal the small but not the big. With the merits of the twelve revolutions, the upper hand will be awarded the Xujue to enter the court as a noble, and the lower one will be awarded the real land to the Japanese country."

"After a hundred years, the Japanese will all use Chinese. Could it be that Zhou Gong's feudalism determined the great cause of the Chinese language in the Central Plains in 2000?"

"The Japanese have 40 warriors, which is equivalent to the feudal 40 military exploits of this dynasty. With 40 military exploits, why worry about Nanyang? Why worry about India?"

"Although Jinghai is huge, there are no people to rely on. Even sealing a thousand acres of wasteland in Jinghai is not as good as sealing a hundred stones in the country of Japan. This is even more courageous and meritorious."

The more Chen Qinghai talked, the more excited he was. He was from a good family, and they were all the lowest-ranking nobles—the difference from military households was that they had a different promotion path than the imperial examination.Putting it in the country of Wa, it is similar to a samurai who earns a living by carrying five stones a year, and is still an aristocrat.

The ass decides the head, even though Chen Qinghai is already an officer in the navy, when considering political issues, Liu Yu seems to still be thinking in the direction of the little nobles.

Out of publicity, he really considered Duke Zhou's feudalism to determine the basic layout of the Central Plains.

But in terms of profit, this is the benefit of tens of thousands of good families, bastards and youngest sons, and hundreds of low-level military officers every year.

Just like what Chen Qinghai said about the reality, Whale Sea has a vast land, even if rye, soybeans, sorghum and potatoes can be grown now, but the kind of wasteland as a reward is tantamount to fooling the monkeys who are always changing.

Regarding this kind of thinking, Liu Yu did not consider the impact on the future for the first time, but immediately became alert.The military has its own ideas?

However, this kind of vigilance was not put into color, but asked with a smile: "It seems that many grassroots officers in the army think so? Why, you have finished reading "Feudalism" and went to read it again. Read Wen Zhenggong's "On the Clique"?"
