Xinshun 1730

Chapter 410 A white horse is a horse
As soon as the agreement in chapter three came out, Zong Yiru, who was hiding in Zhanyuan City, understood that Tsushima had nothing to do with him anymore.

Unlike the civil war in the Central Plains Dynasty, Japan was separated from farmers and soldiers.

Soldiers are all warriors, and warriors have their own salaries, fiefdoms and privileges. It is meaningless to lead troops to surrender.

Unless the emperor only wants a nominal tribute.

The special location of Tsushima Island determines that the Celestial Dynasty will not want a nominal tribute to Tsushima.

This can be done for the Choshu clan, perhaps for the Satsuma clan, and even the shogunate can pay tribute, but Tsushima cannot.

As long as Dashun's navy is still there, Tsushima only needs a county magistrate to govern.In Changzhou, Satsuma, Nagasaki and other places, it may be necessary to station thousands of soldiers and horses to rule, because they are separated from other places by the sea.

He is also transparent, and probably guessed how this group of people captured Tosa.

So after receiving the support of the people in Sanzhang Yuefa, he immediately donated a thousand Japanese stone grains in Zhanyuan City.

Some donated money to the army, and some asked the navy to distribute it to the people to support the poor.

The navy received this batch of grain, and there was a lot of grain. One stone of the Japanese was higher than the Chinese weights and measures. One stone was about three hundred catties of brown rice, and one thousand stones was 30 catties.

The number is not too much for the army, but it is not a small number for the small Tsushima.

The officers of the navy have participated in both Wendeng Prefecture's reform and Tosa's Battle of Benevolence and Justice, so they are familiar with this situation.

Take half of it first and make it a "righteous warehouse". If there is a disaster year, you can borrow money from it for planting and food, according to the green crop law.

For the remaining number, they will post a list to recruit "village brave".

The number of three hundred is to be selected, and Mi Yihuashi is given to support the family every month. In the army, meals are all taken out by the public, and the formation is drilled to guard the horses.

Within a few days, the applicants were enthusiastic, and the bonds flew up to the sky, and everyone was convinced.

On the boat, Zhao Baiquan, who was about to return to Busan, looked at the lively scene at Tsushima port from a distance, secretly startled.

These naval officers, who seldom read the books of sages, have the skills of governing.A dissertation can rule a city of a hundred miles, and a dissertation on martial arts can spread its might over thousands of miles of blue waves. I am afraid it is not the blessing of a famous teacher.

This kind of thought flashed by, and I buried it deep in my heart, knowing that this is not the time to think about it.

"Generals, I'm going back to Pusan ​​right now, and then I'll play Ming Shengshang, please use the method of reforming the land to return to the people, set up counties and select officials, and also set up township schools and county schools. But I don't know what the generals will do in the future?"

Mantou smiled and said: "I will return to Pusan ​​with Mr. Zhao. I have finished the task of Tsushima. In a few days, I will send muskets to equip the Japanese Xiangyong here. There are only 50 people on the island. Keep 50 people here, and the rest will leave with us."

Although Zhao Baiquan didn't understand what was going on, he didn't ask any further questions.Soon, 100 people on the island boarded the ship and returned to Busan with the fleet.

When they arrived in Busan, the depth of the port had been measured, and the warships were divided into two teams.

One team patrols the sea to fight at any time, and the other part enters the port for a rest for the first time without a fort.

In the original Waguan, the envoy of Donglai Mansion had been waiting for Zhao Baiquan for several days, and when he heard that Zhao Baiquan was back, he hurried over from Donglai Mansion.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zheng Shouxin, the envoy of the Donglai Mansion, said: "Master Zhao, my king heard that the Japanese were conquering the Japanese, and he called the emperor Shengming directly. The Korean country didn't know about the Japanese invasion of Ryukyu. As a vassal and close to the Japanese, they didn't know about it. It’s a shame. The Japanese are very ambitious, if our country knows about the Ryukyu, we will definitely not trade with the Japanese.”

"Since the Celestial Dynasty is going to be stationed in Pusan ​​as a camp to attack the Japanese. My king sent two thousand officials here. But I don't know how many people the Celestial Dynasty needs?"

Zhao Baiquan is an official of the Li government, and he is not proficient in such practical matters, so he turned around and asked the people from the navy who came with him.

According to the navy's plan, 5000 people are enough for a month if it is just a large camp, plus repairs to the fort and the port.

Of course, if the navy wants to stay here in the future, the repair of the military port, the reinforcement of the fort, etc., will be an additional cost, and it may take more than three to five months to repair.

After confirming, Zhao Baiquan said: "Five thousand young adults are still needed."

Zheng Shouxin, the envoy of Donglai Mansion, was secretly delighted when he heard this number.If five thousand are young and strong, and the official is two thousand, there will be three thousand places left.

Dashun paid for the meals, and North Korea cried poorly and said that they had no money and could not gather food. This statement... is basically true.

The financial situation of North Korea is extremely worrying. With a population of tens of millions, only hundreds of thousands of "middlemen" can actually rule effectively.

Anyway, Dashun also knew in his heart that if he cut off the financial resources of Busan Wakan, it would not be easy to suppress them too hard.

Coupled with the rise of sea transportation, food transportation is not a problem. It is a trivial matter to feed 5000 more people.

The remaining 3000 people happened to be divided among the nearby big clans, and they earned some extra money by relying on the slaves in their hands.

If you don't keep it in your hands, the value created every day is not enough for the equivalent silver price offered by Dashun to repair the embankment, and you will save on food.

"Lord Zhao, don't worry, we will be ready within a few days. The good people may not come, so we can only send more private families. Money costs and it is easy to settle."

"Very good." Zhao Baiquan didn't know much about the class situation in North Korea, and he didn't know exactly what was going on with this slave girl, so he asked more and couldn't help frowning slightly.

After asking clearly, Xindao has always said that North Korea is the most educated country among the vassals, and most of them have the name "Little China".

It's just... slaves and maidservants are inferior to their mothers, they belong to different families, they are as humble as cattle and horses, and they have been slaves for generations. This... what kind of Chinese custom is this?
Seeing Zhao Baiquan frowning, Zheng Shouxin couldn't help asking, "Why is Master Zhao frowning?"

"Uh... this servant and maidservant, do you follow your mother but not your father? This is probably not in line with etiquette."

Zheng Shouxin smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are too worried. Courtesy is the courtesy of a man."

"Our slaves and maidservants are all property."

"Knowing the mother but not the father is the way of animals. Like lambs, cattle, horses, cats and dogs, they only know their mother but not their father."

"It is to follow the mother, so as to distinguish it from humans. This is also the difference between humans and animals. How can human etiquette be applied to animals?"

"The ancient son of heaven, when he sent envoys to hire other countries, he must write "Feng" and "Ya". It can be seen that the customs of various countries are different, and they have existed in ancient times. Our country has its own national conditions here. The difference between "Wind"."

"Besides, the difference between humans and animals lies in loyalty. If Bingzi is reckless, the former king hunts far away, the water is cold and the road hangs, and the car can't go. If you cross the mud, you are afraid of dirty clothes. A woodcutter saw it. It is a good story to pass on. The former king exempted his descendants from being humble, so this is not enlightenment?"

Zhao Baiquan was stunned and speechless, and he said after a long time: "The heavenly dynasty decides the world, we should educate and educate the world, and the world is the same. There are vulgar and ugly. Why don't you change these bad habits?"

Zheng Shouxin still smiled and said: "My lord is not good. The three emperors have different customs, and the five emperors have different religions."

"Bo Qin enfeoffed Lu, and Taigong enfeoffed Qi. The Taigong followed the customs, so it is not as beautiful as the Lu Gong who followed the rites. However, in later generations, the country Qi is strong and Lu is weak, which is also expected by the Duke of Zhou. It is a pity to read the words of the Duke of Zhou. Of."

"Zhongyong changed Zhou rituals to the custom of cutting off hair and tattoos; Wu Ling changed Chinese crown clothes to the custom of shooting in Hu clothes. Therefore, Wu custom is safe and rich, and Zhao country is prosperous and strong. Why?"

"North Korea has its own national conditions here. Even after a hundred years and a thousand years, there are still two classes of civil and military forces side by side, and the slaves and maidservants of the noble family are different. It is not our country that cannot be educated, and it really has its own national conditions here."

Zhao Baiquan still had a lot of words in his stomach, but he really didn't want to say a word at this time.

The way is different, not enough and words.

On the one hand, Dashun continued the former Ming Dynasty’s strategy of reforming the land and returning the natives, changing customs and customs; on the other hand, North Korea claimed to be abiding by rituals, but came up with such a set of things.

He felt that there was really nothing to say. The seeds of resentment that Liu Yu had planted in his heart before, this conversation seemed to be watered and fertilized, slowly sprouting and growing.

After seeing off Zheng Shouxin, the naval officers who were in charge of negotiating with Zhao Baiquan just laughed.

Zhao Baiquan laughed and shook his head and said, "Are you all amused by what this man from North Korea said?"

The officers and Zhao Baiquan are not in the same system. Even though they have no official positions and only military ranks, they are not afraid of Zhao Baiquan, and said with a smile: "That's not true, but when we were in Jinghai Palace, we learned about the systems of various countries. In fact, we also It's been discussed. It's normal."

"Normal?" Zhao Baiquan wondered, "Where is it normal?"

An officer came forward with a smile and said, "Yingsao Bo said that how the foundation is laid determines how high the building wall can be built."

"Since Zhougong established rites, there were chaotic times in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States struggle for hegemony, the unification of the Great Qin Dynasty, the eradication of a hundred schools of thought in the Han Dynasty and the respect of Confucianism. There was also the Mandate of Heaven, the Five Virtues, and the promotion of filial piety. After that, there were two clans of the Jin Dynasty, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng. Tang Po Wealthy families set up imperial examinations, which was passed down to the Song Dynasty, and they shared the world with the scholar-officials. After that, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty rose and Zhu Zixing, and then it was passed down to the Ming Dynasty and the current dynasty.”

"The culture of the Celestial Dynasty is a natural evolution. It is like a seed, after being thrown down, trees will grow, with countless branches."

"From the enfeoffment of Shiqing in the Spring and Autumn Period, to the conferring of titles for military achievements in the Warring States Period, to the tyrants of the Han Dynasty, and the clans of the Jin Dynasty... It can be said that from the pure enfeoffment system, to the disputes among the nations, to the parallel prefectures and states, to the rule of clans, and to the real The monarchy rules the world, and if you take a random part, can it be called China?"

"North Korea is different from this dynasty, but its clothes are the same as this dynasty, its Confucianism is the same as that of the previous dynasty, its imperial examinations are similar to those of the early Tang Dynasty, and its big clan is similar to that of the Jin Dynasty. As for Japan, it is even more similar to the Spring and Autumn Period."

"Their culture is influenced by us, so it is suitable to cut off a branch from this big tree. After all, the Celestial Dynasty has experienced all kinds of 'foundations' since the Duke of Zhou set the ceremony."

"We have the culture of the enfeoffment system; we still have the culture of the clan system; we still have the culture of monopoly. They can choose the right one and use it."

"Eagle Sobo asked us, saying that the Korean Wa Kingdom, or the Little China, or the Korean Wa Kingdom, is it a white horse or a horse? Or is a white horse a horse?"

This question stopped Zhao Baiquan immediately.

White horse is horse theory, there is a biggest problem.

That is, one day in the future, the white horse will point to his crescent-shaped hooves, four legs, mane, etc., and say that this is unique to his own white horse.But in fact, the whiteness of a white horse is unique to other horses.

But at this moment, even the most arrogant people in the world dare not think of such a possibility.

He pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "A white horse is a horse, a horse may not be a white horse, but a white horse must be a horse. What do you think?"

The officers laughed and said: "Our view is simple. We are all warriors. If you argue with Gongsun Long, go up and slap him and ask: Is it a horse? If you say no, continue to fight until he says yes, then the white horse It's the horse."

"In fact, we have considered that the best way to let the white horse know that it is a horse is to find a herd of cows and beat the white horse. At this time, the leading horse comes out and beats the cow, and the white horse knows that it is a horse. But since With a navy in Weihai, this is impossible, and even 'bulls' can't pass through Nanyang, so how can we fight against this group of white horses and dark horses?"

"However, Ying Suo Bo said that the foundation determines the shape of the building above, so there are Shang Yang Reform, Jing Gong Tuo Gu, and Tai Yue's whip. There are also Han Confucianism, Jin Jing, Song Confucianism."

"Since the dynasty broke Zhuzi, it has been broken but not established. For scholars, making a statement to adapt to the changes in the world at this time is the top priority. Retroversion is not feasible. One step back is the former Ming Dynasty, and two steps back is North Korea. , Three steps backward is the country of Japan. Mr. Zhao, who has read the scriptures, should encourage him to speak up."
