Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 841
The Heian era was an extremely important era for the Wa country.

If it is said that the later shogunate period shaped Japan's samurai class and completed the finalization of culture, then the Heian period was the foundational era of Japanese culture.

The cultural temperament displayed by later generations of Japan is completely different from that of its neighbor Lee Chosun who regarded himself as a small China. The independent cultural temperament to a certain extent was established in the Heian period.

This era had a huge impact on the politics, economy, social life, and culture and art of Japan in later generations, especially the culture and art. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is unique.

However, whenever a dynasty is particularly emphasized on economy, culture and art, it means that it has nothing to praise in other aspects, especially the value of force.

Right, Da Song.

Of course, the same is true for my big Japanese country.

During the Heian period, the power of the Japanese state was constantly transferred between the emperor and his relatives and relatives.

At the same time, Buddhist religious forces also occupied a large amount of land and owned private soldiers. In the late Heian period, they even became a powerful force that could threaten secular rule.

As for the samurai class who held great power during the shogunate era, at this time it was just a tool for the emperor and the Dagongqing family to compete for power and profit.

What is the most taboo in this political atmosphere?The most taboo is that outsiders suddenly become the third force and overturn their original game rules and methods.

It's like the eunuchs and eunuchs fighting each other in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Once the local real power with soldiers in their hands is sent into the game, they can't continue playing immediately.

Therefore, during the Heian period, whether it was the emperor, the Fujiwara family Kanbai, or the later emperor of France, they implemented a strict policy of closing the country and not communicating with the outside world.

Not only was the policy of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty abolished, but even after the king of Wang's Koryo established the country, he wanted to go to the Japanese country to have a family life, and the Japanese people were very shameless and couldn't read it back.

Internally, the emperor, the emperor, and the public are all deliberately lowering the growing samurai class, preventing these vulgar guys who can only stab people with swords from gaining a high status.

They even connive at monastery monks and soldiers to split and suppress the warrior class.

In general, the Heian period was an early Song Dynasty for Japan.

The ruling class is brutally exploiting internally, the officials and nobles (mainly civil servants) are drunk and dreaming, and the people at the bottom are living in hell.

But at the same time, at this time, the economy was developing rapidly, culture and art were flourishing, and the handicraft industry had undergone earth-shaking changes after absorbing a large number of advanced technologies brought back by the Tang envoys.

The extreme pain of the poor peasants at the bottom and the extravagance of the big aristocrats have benefited the citizens of the big cities more or less.

Therefore, if you don't look at the countryside and only look at a few big cities, you can barely call it a prosperous age.

And in this seemingly okay situation, as emerging local small manor owners and a group of warriors who are gradually mastering the sword, they are firmly suppressed at the bottom of the ruling class, and their status is even inferior to that of monks and soldiers in Buddhist monasteries.

This... This is completely upside down with the Central Plains!

In the Central Plains, there were five dynasties and ten countries in which brutal warriors were in power first, and then the whole society collectively turned to make the gentlemen more important than the military.

In the country of Wa, there was a society where the warrior class controlled the power after the warriors couldn't bear to overthrow the public officials.

This inversion directly led to the very different destinies of the two countries thousands of years later.

If in the nineteenth century, the Western powers faced a China where warriors were not regarded as thieves and heroes, but with the size of China, they could pull out a semi-modern army of 50 million, and the Europeans would not be able to eat it down.

. . . .

Murong Nobunaga came to Busan Port in October to patrol around. At that time, Busan Port was only a small port with a population of only a few hundred, and the surrounding area was desolate.

Historically, it would not become the largest port on the Korean peninsula until the Joseon period of the Lee family.

Murong Nobunaga came here, of course, not because he knew that Fushan would develop greatly in future generations, but because this harbor, blocked by high mountains and islands, and close to the country of Wa, was a very suitable logistics base for conquering the country of Wa.

Thanks to Japan's own seclusion, Murong Nobunaga could easily cover up the news that Wang's Koryo had basically been destroyed.

When the surprise attack is launched next year, those idiots in Heianjing will definitely be beaten directly.

The sound of trampling horseshoes sounded, and under the guard of ten white robes and silver saddles Akiyoshiro, Zhao Pu, a bachelor of Shangshutai Hanlin Academy and the right servant of the household department, appeared in the eyes of everyone in a blue hipless shirt.

Thirty steps away, Zhao Pu reined in his horse and came to pay homage to Murong Nobunaga on foot, saying that he is the king, treating Murong Nobunaga like a subject treats a king.

"Zhao Pu, I didn't expect my father to let you come here, I have no worries!" Murong Nobunaga was naturally very satisfied when he saw Zhao Pu being so respectful.

Everyone knows that Zhao Pu is a confidant promoted by the sage from humble beginnings. In addition, this person has a somewhat aggressive personality, and he has always been faintly arrogant towards officials of the same level or even slightly higher.

Today's willingness to treat Murong Nobunaga with such respect is enough to prove his position in the heart of the saint's adoptive father.

Although Zhao Pu is aggressive, he is a man of character. Murong Nobunaga is now in Dazhou, and that is a great Buddha that no one can offend.

Although Zhao Pu couldn't figure out why the Holy Son of Heaven attached so much importance to conquest of Korea and Japan, he understood the simple truth that he should respect whomever a saint valued.

Here, without waiting for Zhao Pu's answer, Murong Nobunaga stepped forward and helped Zhao Pu up, "Is there anything the saint wants you to tell me?"

Zhao Pu saluted again and replied with a smile: "The sage didn't say anything else, only that the king must remember the agreement between father and son."

Murong Nobunaga sighed with emotion, "Father has far-sightedness, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Please rest assured, Nobunaga will fulfill his entrustment no matter what."

What can Zhang Tie entrust Murong Nobunaga?It is nothing more than comparing Waguo to Goguryeo in the past.

And he made it clear to Murong Nobunaga that he didn't care whether Nobunaga's son would be separated from Japan, or whether Murong Nobunaga's descendants would stop paying tribute to the Central Plains.

Zhang Ting, the father, paid a sky-high price to get Murong Nobunaga to North Korea and Japan as king. The only requirement for him was to eradicate the independent culture that had begun to form in these two places, as well as the independent consciousness that would soon be possessed.

As long as Murong Nobunaga can change the customs of these two places, and finally achieve the same as the Central Plains, it will be a great contribution.

When the population of the Central Plains is prosperous and millions of people immigrate to each of these two places, then Chinese culture in East Asia will truly be worry-free.

In front of such a grand background, everything else is trivial, no matter how you change it, the meat will rot in the pot.

It was Murong Nobunaga's request for Zhao Pu's trip to North Korea.

Hao Da'er hopes that Zhang Tie can send a capable minister to Seoul to help him deal with political affairs temporarily.

Because in the next time, Murong Nobunaga needs to concentrate on gathering the horse infantry at Busan Port, drill the navy, and wait for the conquest of the Wa Kingdom next year.

In Zhang Ting and Murong Xin's plan, the Wa country must be the top priority, and the priority is far above North Korea. After the war against the Wa country, Murong Nobunaga will definitely sit in Ping'an capital.

Moreover, Wa is not as easy to conquer as Goryeo, because Goryeo is mostly populated on several plains on the west coast.

One or two main decisive battles can solve most of the problems, and then kill a batch of nobles and exile a batch and recruit a batch, which can basically stabilize the general situation.

The country of Wa is different. It has a large area, many manors and fortresses, and its sense of self-reliance is far better than that of Korea, where the Wang family, which is the royal family, calls them Han people.

The war of conquest of the Japanese kingdom is destined to be a small-scale but high-intensity war that lasts for several years or even more than ten years, not to mention the Kanto region, which was the base of the former Dedong Shengshenzhou, needs to be developed.

Therefore, Murong Nobunaga plans to stay around Busan Port to prepare for the conquest of Wa Kingdom from now on, and then plans to move the capital to Ping'an-kyo.

As for North Korea, Murong Xinchang stayed with Zhao Kuangyin and led [-] horse infantry to guard Seoul to prevent a small number of diehards from making trouble. Zhao Pu was appointed as the right minister of Yan State to handle government affairs.

As for the future, if there are no major changes, Hao Da'er is going to divide his country of Yan into two after a hundred years.

Hand over North Korea to the second son in Hu's womb, and let the second son marry the daughter born to his younger sister, Princess Qi Nan, and Pei Quanfu, the son of Pei Yuan.

Princess Qi Nan Zhang Qinan is the eldest daughter of Empress Cao Yanxi and the direct cousin of Murong Nobunaga.

Hao Da'er has always regretted that he is not of Zhang Tie's blood, but if his son can marry the granddaughter of his aunt and adoptive father, it can be regarded as a dream come true to some extent.

As for the country of Wa, of course it must be left to the eldest son Hutou.

. . . .

In fact, the relationship between North Korea and Japan is not completely closed to the point where even a ray of wind cannot blow through.

Just like when Nobunaga Murong blocked Andong and Goryeo a few years ago, almost all people and things cannot communicate, but there is still a kind of people who can communicate infrequently.

That is the monk.

Sitting kneeling in front of Murong Nobunaga were three monks from the Wa Kingdom.

During this era, Guanbai of the Wa Kingdom blocked the route to Goryeo, and the large and small ports were not allowed, and no ship could go to sea.

The only exception to this is the monks who have private ports.

These three monks went to sea from the private port of Iki, Kitakyushu, and arrived at the sea off Mount Fu.

The head monk called himself Pingtong and came from Todaiji Temple in Pingcheng. The three of them came to Fushan to meet Murong Nobunaga specifically for one thing, and that was to ask for help.

The reason is very simple. Today's Japanese Buddhism, the Yixiang sect that takes the mass line has not yet appeared. One of the patriarchs of the Bailian sect, the monk Yanshou, has just held back his energy to climb the water of the sea and go to North America.

The rest of the Huayan School, Tiantai School, etc., are no different from the Central Plains, and they are all Mountain School Buddhism.

The so-called Mountain School is a generalization of later generations. Generally speaking, it refers to the Buddhist sect that built temples deep in famous mountains and rivers.

But at this time in Japan, under the direct guidance of the ministers and nobles, Buddhism already has its own land, has its own armed forces, and can even collect taxes from various counties by itself.

You asked such Buddhist forces to build temples in the depths of famous mountains and great rivers?Are they willing?

Therefore, although the Buddhism in Zhongtu has the blessings of great Buddhists such as Master Jianzhen and Master Konghai, it is destined to be impossible to grow in the country of Japan, because he completely violates the political climate of the country of Japan.

At the end of history, Japan's Buddhism, Shintoism, and Bushido merged and lost its religious dominance.

There are some that can be left in future generations, and most of them have been reformed, and the only few that are basically normal have no reputation, and their beliefs have not been revealed.

But at this time, Japanese monks and careerists saw another Buddhist sect that could change their destiny-Six Laws.

Good Six Dharma School!Don't respect famous mountains and great rivers, what you pay attention to is that you don't help your relatives, you are my brother when you say "Supreme Heaven", you pay attention to great kindness and compassion for your own people, and you often engage in physical transcendence for your enemies.

Although there are a lot of Confucianism mixed in the Six Dharma Schools, such as the Gongyang School that emphasizes great revenge and the Guliang School that emphasizes righteousness and respect for the king, they have all been mixed into it.

But Huayan Sect, Tiantai Sect, etc. in the past also included a lot of cultural content from the Central Plains, so what does it matter?

This kind of teaching is too tempting for Japanese Buddhism, so monk Pingtong didn't want to test Murong Nobunaga at all, and directly put forward his request.

As long as Murong Nobunaga conquered the Wa Kingdom, he was willing to confer half of the 66 kingdoms in the Seven Daos to the Buddhist sects of the Wa Kingdom, making the temples de facto vassals, and they would be willing to respond.

And it is recognized that Murong Nobunaga is the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the Buddhist disciples and monk soldiers in the entire Japanese country can be used by Murong Nobunaga and become Murong Nobunaga's followers.

Murong Xinchang took the invitation letter handed over by the monk, and looked at Monk Pingtong with a sneer, "Master's understanding of the Six Dharma School seems to be only superficial!

My soul is that the Buddha feared that the Supreme Heaven would not be able to deal with the demons and heretics in the lower realm, so he ordered the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to give up his original fruit position, and use three-point supernatural powers to the lower realm as the adopted son of the Supreme Heaven to help the Supreme Heaven to spread and protect the Dharma.

No matter whether the Japanese Buddhist sect recognizes it or not, there will be no change in the correct position of the deity's soul.

On the contrary, if you believe that you can be saved, if you are blind and do not know Allah, you need to be careful that the Buddha also has fire! "

At this point in the timeline, Hao Daer's temperament and state of mind have actually undergone tremendous changes.

Before entering Anton's complete annihilation of Khitan alone.

Murong Nobunaga is a good old man and a good commander who admires Zhang Tie very much and is brave in battle.

It is Xiao Mengchang Murong's white robe who is so righteous in the hearts of the people of the world.

He was the hero who spoke up and spoke out against Shi Chonggui for his unfilial piety at Shi Jingtang's funeral.

But after several years of independent development, it's not that Murong Nobunaga has completely changed his personality, but that his arrogance as the ruler of a country and his pride from blood and religion have gradually increased.

Just kidding, after a small Li Erfeng gained divinity in a place with a strong religious atmosphere, he is only a short distance from leaving the category of mortals.

Therefore, in the eyes of Murong Nobunaga, the only way out for the Buddhism of the Japanese country is to eat pots of pulp to welcome the master.

Gain the opportunity to seize power within the scope he allows by taking refuge and surrender.

Instead of holding a list, bargain with him here.

"Master thinks that I, Murong Nobunaga, is a three-year-old child? Even the city of Pingcheng will belong to you. If that's the case, why would someone send a large army across the sea? It's better to just stay here in North Korea and rule the two thousand miles."

Wang Pu looked at Murong Nobunaga worriedly, he was very afraid that Murong Nobunaga would get angry and drive away or execute the Japanese monks.

As Murong Nobunaga's most confidant counselor, Wang Pu is one of the few people who can clearly feel Murong Nobunaga's changes.

However, hearing what Murong Xinchang said, Wang Pu heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.

This kind of thing is a matter of constant back and forth, as long as the road is blocked without the first step, then there is talk.

Monk Pingtong looked at Murong Nobunaga who was furious, and he had the same idea as Wang Pu in his heart. Pingcheng capital is also Nara, and they really wanted it.

Because Pingchengjing represents the period of time that the Buddhist sect of the Japanese country misses the most. At that time, they were even able to transcend the public officials and influence the state affairs to a considerable extent.

It is a pity that after Emperor Huanwu moved the capital to Heianjing, Pingchengjing, which was known as a city full of temples, lost its political status, and Buddhism also lost the ability to influence the government accordingly.

"North Korea is two thousand miles of mountains and rivers, but my country of sunrise is five thousand miles of mountains and rivers. How can the king dislike too much land?

And if there is no self, it is almost impossible for a bodhisattva to rule these five thousand miles of rivers and mountains, not to mention idiots and dreams.But with our support, only [-] to [-] soldiers will be able to unify the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.

Poor monks and others only need half, is that much? "

Murong Nobunaga's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that the monks opposite him, of course, the monks in the entire Wa Kingdom, may have been in contact with the Six Dharma Schools, and judged that Murong Nobunaga must intend to get involved in the Wa Kingdom, but he didn't know that he planned to go to Japan next year. Send troops to conquer.

At the same time, the Japanese didn't realize how ferocious the Great Zhou soldiers were, that's why these monks wanted to contact him in the early stage to stimulate Murong Nobunaga. They just wanted to take advantage of the situation and regard Murong Nobunaga as a helper.

Therefore, in the face of helpers, the monks only asked for the monastery to be manorized, the monks to be aristocratic, and then get half of the territory as a Buddhist country. In their opinion, it is already a great concession on their own side.

As a result, Murong Nobunaga immediately changed his attitude, he seemed to think seriously for a moment, and then shook his head quickly.

"Master Pingtong, monks should not lie. It is not a day or two since the decline of Buddhism in Japan. If I only need to send 33 to [-] soldiers, why do you need to give me the territory of [-] countries?
I have a little bit of interest in spreading the Six Dharma Schools to the Wa Kingdom, but I still need to talk openly and honestly. "

The meaning of Murong Nobunaga's words is that he has seen that the monk opposite is just a pawn who came to explore the way, and he may not even come from Todai Temple, but even so, he still expressed his willingness to talk .

Sure enough, Monk Pingtong heard Murong Xinchang's words and said in fluent Tang Yin: "The Bodhisattva knows the truth with his eyes. After the little monk returns, he must have a real great virtue, and then he will talk with the Bodhisattva.

The little monk can only say that the warriors of the Japanese kingdom were also oppressed by the officials just like us Buddhist followers. "

. . . .

It was late at night, and the three Japanese monks, led by the monks of the Six Dharma School arranged by Murong Nobunaga, went to a nearby temple to rest, while Murong Nobunaga was still discussing with Wang Pu, Wang Jing, Gao Song and others.

Wang Pu is worthy of being a master strategist. With extremely limited information, he sorted out a more credible clue.

"Compared to the past, the Japanese monks must have suffered a great loss of interests, but now it has been hundreds of years, and they have not lost everything. They have long been accustomed to their current status, so the possibility of causing trouble is not high.

But the warriors of the Japanese country were really suppressed.

Since the Battle of Baijiangkou in the Great Dynasty in the past, the Japanese people saw clearly that the force they relied on was useless in front of the Central Plains, and the military equipment of the Japanese country began to decline.

Because the King of Japan discovered that sending Tang envoys to Datang to closely inquire about the news of Datang, and if there is something to do without using other people, it is these envoys who can dispel the anger of Datang to a certain extent.

At the same time, in the Wa Kingdom, they closed themselves off and acted obediently, like a wolf cub that not only does not bite, but also is kind to others.

Under the cover of obedience and obedience, try not to appear in the sight of the Tang army.

This policy was very successful. Since then, the entire Tang Dynasty has never regarded the Wa Kingdom as a threatening object, and they have not raised troops with others.

But it also caused a serious consequence, that is, the status of warriors began to decline rapidly.

The minister thought that these people were not necessarily monks, because there was a difference between warriors and monks in Japan.

Monks and soldiers have money and status, while warriors have nothing, so the possibility of trouble is the greatest for the latter.

Even they didn't come from Heijo-kyo, but the Hizen country in Xikaido, or the samurai from Nagato and Iwami countries in Sanyin Road, which is just across from us. "

The country of the Wa Kingdom does not refer to the country, but the prefecture, which is similar to the government, and the Tao is equivalent to the province.

Xikaido is where Kyushu Island is located, and Sando is the side of Honshu Island that is close to the mainland.

Murong Nobunaga walked back and forth for two steps, and then said: "Uncle Wen is right. The monks in the Kinai region have a higher status, and they fight fiercely with each other without a leader. Express trust.

Indeed, it is more likely that the ambitious warriors among the oppressed Xiguo warriors on the west side of Xikaido and Shanyin would have such motivation. "

Gao Song arched his hands, "Since this is the case, Your Majesty must accept them even more, subdue them, and the people in Jinai will benefit, no matter whether they are warriors or monks, they cannot be trusted.

But the poor Xiguo warriors can still be recruited. Although they have little courage, they are excellent for collecting information about the Japanese country! "
