Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 845 Isn't this a coincidence?
If there is one word to accurately describe Heian-kyo in the Heian era, it would be the Great Mire.

Really, there is no better adjective.

The reason why Heianjing became a big quagmire was because of the Japanese people's overreach.

Two or three hundred years ago, after a large number of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty returned from the Tang Dynasty, they praised Chang'an and Luoyang as unparalleled in the world, and the envious Japanese king was drooling.

So at the suggestion of the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, the King of Japan decided to build a Chang'an city in the country of Wa, and move all the rich and powerful households from all over the country, so that he could build a huge city and control the local tycoons.

As a result, halfway through the construction of Ping'an capital, the finances of the entire Japanese kingdom collapsed, and finally a beggar's version of Chang'an was barely built.

But this beggar's version didn't last long, because the Youjing in the middle of the left and right, which was built in imitation of the eastern and western cities of the Tang Dynasty, was built directly on the swamp.

When the house was first built, it was fine when it was new, but after a year or two, not only the house was soaked by the moisture of the swamp, but the paved streets became muddy again, and even the foundations of the palace and a large number of houses began to sink. live.

But at this time, a lot of rich and powerful households from all over the place have been relocated, and most of the nearby people have come to Ping'an capital to seek a living. All the people can only be squeezed into Zuo Jing, resulting in the relative congestion of Zuo Jing.

And Ukyo was built directly on the swamp. In fact, Zuojing is not much better, and they are all in low-lying valleys.

Moreover, the Japanese learned the scale of Chang'an and Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty, but they did not provide the water supply and drainage to Xuequan, which caused a big problem in the drainage of Ping'an Jing.

This is too 'wonderful'.

Building a city in a low-lying and humid area without much drainage system is simply a paradise for viruses and plagues.

As a result, the time has passed to the present, and the entire Zuojing has more than [-] people. The low-lying terrain and extremely simple drainage system make it difficult to drain the accumulated water.

In such a city filled with small puddles, 10,000+ people ate and drank all the domestic garbage and sewage that kept accumulating and percolating downwards, causing various diseases and plagues to spread widely, with outbreaks occurring every one or two years.

Moreover, due to overcrowding and the use of a large number of wooden buildings, the fire prevention situation in Sakyo was also very severe. Often even the palace was caught on fire, resulting in the royal family having to move around.

What a Heian-kyo!When it rains, it becomes a flood country, and when the sky is dry, it is easy to catch fire. The surging water vapor makes excrement and urine flow everywhere with the water, the stench of the scorching sun is overflowing, and the plague and hunger are constantly attacking alternately.

Now everyone knows why Heian-kyo is so magical in Japanese culture, right? Feelings like a night tour of a hundred ghosts are all realistic!

Emperor Murakami has not returned to Heian City in the north of Zuojing City for a long time, because he doesn't like the stinky feeling here.

In the main hall, there are a man and a woman sitting on the left and right sides of Emperor Murakami's head.

The man is his elder brother, who is also the previous Emperor Suzaku who gave him the Zen throne.The woman is Onko, the common mother of Emperor Murakami and Emperor Suzaku.

Wenzi is not an easy woman, because the few real powers of these emperors are basically in her hands.

In order to firmly grasp the power, she also mercilessly forced Emperor Suzaku to abdicate the throne to Emperor Murakami.

But at this time, the queen mother, who wanted to hold even more power in her hands, had a frightened look on her face for the first time.

At the very beginning, there was news of an invasion by Koryo pirates, and the imperial court was still planning to wait for the spring to send someone to Koryo to make contact.

But the members who are still arguing about going on a mission here, and even whether they should take the initiative to send someone there, then Wang Jian has long wanted to communicate with himself, and whether the frequent exchanges will be seen as false or true.

But at this moment, the news of the rebellion came from the former country of Dotoyo, Xikai, and it also defeated hundreds of soldiers in Dazaifu.

It didn't take long for the Hirashomon Rebellion and Fujiwara Juntomo's rebellion to subside, especially the Fujiwara Juntomo Rebellion ten years ago, which was marked by the capture of Dazaifu.

As for these two rebellions, the imperial court did not have much power to quell them. They were quelled entirely by conflicts of interest and involvement among local forces.

Ever since Emperor Suzaku was coerced into meditation by his mother Wenzi, his spirit has become a little abnormal.

His IQ was already low, and now he is deeply in the pain of being abandoned by his mother. According to history, he will die of depression next year. Therefore, the current opinion of Emperor Suzaku is not important at all, almost equal to nothing.

Wenzi didn't even want to ask for his opinion, so he directly asked the two left and right ministers: "There is another disturbance in Fengqian Kingdom, should we send troops, otherwise the Dazaifu will be trapped again, and the world will be shaken again."

The right minister, Fujiwara Shisuke, did not speak, because the power was in the hands of the left minister, Fujiwara Miyori, and Fujiwara Miyori frowned.

In the Tianqing Rebellion ten years ago, whether it was the army that hunted down Yoshiko Ono or the army led by General Tadafumi Fujiwara who conquered the west, they were all composed of children and samurai recruited from the two capitals and various local honorary groups.

Although the Tianqing Rebellion of Fujiwara Juntomo was quickly quelled, the price was extremely high.

Because the left minister Fujiwara Miyori is the leader of Gongqing Xunchen, but he is not Gongqing Xunchen himself.

Every time these people were mobilized, they would be appeased with their official positions and honors when they came back. Every time they appeased, it meant that Minister Zuo had to make a resource compromise to the lower levels, so Miyori Fujiwara did not want to send troops.

The reason for this situation is that in the current Wa country, after the collapse of the bantian system, which is about equal to the equal land system, the imperial court can no longer recruit military force from the people, and the original legion has simply become an empty shell.

At present, in the country of Wa, the only reliable force is the samurai trilogy composed of the sons of the ministers and ministers and local samurai, as well as the armed immigrants who expanded the borders of the Kanto.

The former probably implemented the manor system, which was similar to the Wubao Haoqiang in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The implementation of the negative people system in later generations is almost equivalent to the tax system of the tax sharing system, that is, the land and farmers are contracted to you, and you are responsible for paying the agreed taxes to the court, and you can do whatever you want to do with the rest.

Therefore, the responsibility for sending troops fell on them, and it is natural to give benefits to others if they ask for it.

And these people have benefited and their strength has expanded, and the strength of the court will weaken. After all, the cake is only that big.

Minister Zuo, who held the real power, refused to say anything, and the Empress Dowager Wenzi cast her eyes on Emperor Murakami in front of her.

Emperor Murakami, like his elder brother Suzaku, basically didn't have much power in his hands, but after all, he was the emperor, and his words still had some effect. As long as he spoke, Fujiwara Miyori couldn't ignore it too much.

Emperor Murakami's intelligence is relatively normal in the emperor's family, and it is also because the endogamous system of the emperor's family has not reached the level of perversion in the next few hundred years, so there are relatively few stupid and deformed children.

Although his back was facing Empress Dowager Onko, Emperor Murakami could clearly feel the burning gaze from his mother, which was falling on his back.

He opened his mouth, just about to say something, but suddenly saw the extremely unfriendly eyes of the left minister Miyori Fujiwara, and immediately swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

His mother Onko, who listens to politics in the name of Emperor Suzaku, can handle him, but the left minister, Fujiwara Miyai, and Emperor Murakami are also afraid!

The matter just entered into an embarrassing deadlock, and the two sides couldn't think of any way to make both sides accept it.

This is called indecent in politics. Since they are indecent, someone will teach them to be decent.

In the awkward silence, Dai Nayan Fujiwara Kentada rushed in hastily. He didn't care about the pretentious court etiquette, rushed in and started roaring:
"Zuo Mansion, I just received the news that the soldiers of the Han family in the Central Plains have crossed the sea from Tsushima!

The rebellion in Xikaido was not an incident of local samurai at all, but they were responding to the soldiers of the Central Plains.

Even those Koryo pirates were driven to Shanyin by the Central Plains army, because Wang's Koryo was destroyed last year, and the king of Koryo lost his country and life! "

The news was so shocking that everyone in the house fell into a brief silence.

It took a while for Miyori Fujiwara to come back to his senses. He took a deep breath, "Please confirm the source of the news. If the Central Plains Dynasty really came to attack, you must order the whole world to resist."

. . . .

Dazhou Shaoming six years, AD 951, November.

At this time, the whole northern country was covered with snowflakes and icy winds. Murong Nobunaga had originally planned to lead his army across the sea to attack the Japanese country in the third and fourth months of spring.

But all of this can't resist the rapid changes in the current situation. The most important thing is that it is completely unexpected that Japan, a country with a population of 300 million and a small size, is so armed.

There are not many standing armies in the whole country, and all the mobilization of force has to be undertaken by noble soldiers and frontier warriors.

For such a country, it is inevitable that he cannot be allowed to mobilize all the local forces slowly. He must quickly annihilate a large number of active forces before it can be governed.

So only in November, Murong Nobunaga ordered Chen Huo to lead the navy to attack Henghai Town, and with lightning speed, he captured Tsushima Island before North Korea and Japan.

At this time, there were only a small number of left-behind personnel left on Tsushima Island. Fearing that Murong Nobunaga would send troops to wipe them out, they immediately took away the family members on Tsushima Island after occupying Toyopo County, Nagato Country in the Wa Country Mountain. most.

But they didn't expect Murong Xinchang to move so fast, and he was a little slower when running, so they were hanged by the tail by Chen Hui.

Chijianguan, not far from Shimonoseki City, Japan, is located on the north shore of the famous Shimonoseki Strait.

The Shimonoseki Strait is a narrow strait between Japan's Kyushu Island and the Chinese region of Honshu Island.

The narrowest part of this strait is only 800 meters, so the Guancheng on both sides of the strait can control the strait very well, and it has always been a battleground for Japanese military strategists.

If you can control both sides of the Shimonoseki Strait, or even hold only one side, you can separate Kyushu Island from the main island of Japan.

More than 200 years later in history, the extremely critical battle in the Genpei War broke out here, the Battle of Tannoura. In this battle, the Heira family lost their last strength and completely lost the ability to fight against Genji.

Of course, the most famous thing for the Chinese is another incident in modern times. The famous Prime Minister Hefei Tianxiashou signed the Shimonoseki Treaty here, which humiliated the country and humiliated the country.

At this time, the Koryo pirates occupied this critical strait, and they also knew that they could not run amok in the Japanese country with just two or three thousand men and ten or twenty thousand family members.

Therefore, the pirates who were originally from the Koryo navy decisively supported the eighth son of Wang Jian, Wang Yu, who was held hostage by them, as king, and sent someone to explain the situation to the Japanese court, and asked the Japanese court to accept it.

The news quickly spread to Ping'an capital, and then spread throughout the country of Japan.

How should I put it, thanks to the inherent insecurity of the island nation, although the Wa Kingdom is armed and stretched, its centripetal force is still very strong, much stronger than that of Wang's Koryo.

Because as long as the people living on these islands know that, given their living environment, there is no vast land to deal with and no territory to escape. When encountering a strong enemy, they have no other choice but to fight to the death.

And there was a reason why the Koryo pirates chose this way. At this time, the most affluent area in Japan was not in Sanyin, but in the area from Sanyo Road to Heiankyo.

In other words, even if the navy is dispatched to attack the Wa country at this time, it will not go to Ishimi and Nagato, but will go through the Shimonoseki Strait and then continue eastward to the Seto Inland Sea, and finally choose to land in places such as Hiroshima or Osaka .

Therefore, as soon as the Koryo pirates occupied the Chijian Pass, they began to ask the Japanese court to accept them. Only when they received reinforcements from the Japanese country could they fight against the Yan State's navy.

On November [-]th, Chen Huo pursued the Koryo pirates and arrived at Chijian Pass.

At this time, the Koryo pirates had occupied the Chijian Pass, and concentrated their more than 200 large and small ships in the port protected by Shuizhai Pass.

If you fight hard, it is impossible for ten of these Korean pirates to defeat the tens of thousands of soldiers in Henghai Town under Chen Hui's command.

Therefore, the leader of the Koryo pirates also wished Hong Xiangdong, the commander of the Koryo water army, to choose wisely to shrink the water army.

He was forcing Chen Hui to go ashore, because if they continued to head east regardless, the Yan State Navy would be in danger of being pushed back.

And if they attack them, relying on the defense of Chijian Pass and the cold weather, they may be able to persist until the arrival of the army supported by the Japanese Kingdom.

Of course, this was Hong Xiangdong's wishful thinking. After Chen Huo arrived in the Maguan Strait, he ignored him at all. Instead, he directly led his troops to occupy Guancheng on the Kyushu Island side of the Maguan Strait, and then began to contact Qin Pingsheng and Qin Pingtong. Father and son.

Later, under the leadership of the Japanese treacherous father and son, on the eighth day of December, Chen Huo stormed into Dazaifu Mizuno Castle in heavy snow and killed more than 300 officials under Dazaifu.

This was a fortified city built by the Wa country in the past to defend against the Tang Dynasty's attack. I'm afraid I would never have dreamed of it. Its final fall did not experience a bloody battle at all.

Because hundreds of years ago, there were four legions stationed in the Dazaifu with a total of [-] elite soldiers, but now there are not many people guarding it.

Later, in Dazaifu, Chen Hui raised the banner of the Six Dharma School of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, which symbolized the status of Murong Nobunaga's Buddhist son, and used the name of religion to attract the poor warriors of Kyushu Island.

This is Wang Pu's poisonous plan for Murong Xinchang. Although Chinese characters and Tang Yin are commonly used in the Japanese country, it is only among the high-level people, and ordinary people still speak obscure and vulgar Japanese.

If you want to rule here, although in the end, you must start the training of the people in the country of Wa to make Tangyin passable.

But at the beginning, the promotion will definitely not go on, so it can only be done slowly, so a group of second devils are urgently needed to help with the work.

These poor samurai in Kyushu are just in use. First, they are far away from the Kinai area, and their loyalty to the so-called court and emperor is limited.

Secondly, the Japanese language of Kyushu Island is relatively difficult for other Japanese people to communicate, and it belongs to the stage where it can be used but not enough.

This can force most of the Japanese to choose between Kyushu dialect and Tang Yin. Anyway, if you want to change the pronunciation, it is better to do it in one step.

On December 1000, Chen Huo recruited more than [-] impoverished Kyushu Island samurai in just a dozen days. There was no way for them, these samurai who were far away from the political center were too poor.

Said to be samurai, in fact, they are also some miserable people who drink wild vegetable porridge every day, pick up a broken iron knife and dream of passing a dead life and winning a class transition.

Of course, there were also some dissatisfaction, thinking that they should serve the loyal ministers of the Heianjing court, and they quickly gathered in Satsuma, Osumi, Hyuga and other countries in the southern part of Kyushu Island.

It's just that the cold weather and powerful enemies stopped them from continuing to clamor. Chen Huo was busy building Dazaifu into a base for marching eastward, and was too lazy to destroy these two thousand challengers who didn't even have armor. clown.

In the seventh year of Shaoming in the Great Zhou Dynasty, 952 A.D., on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, on the Lantern Festival, Nobunaga Murong of Fushan received the military report from Chen Huo, and immediately he was determined.

Even Dazaifu, an important town similar to the Duhufu, does not have any guards. It seems that the military equipment of the Wa country has indeed been weakened to the extreme.

Then Murong Nobunaga tried his best to send sailors through the wind and snow, and continuously sent supplies to Dazaifu and Maguan Strait, allowing Chen Hui to firmly occupy Dazaifu Mizuno Castle.

While constantly slaughtering pigs and sheep in Busan Port, he wanted to feed the soldiers to be strong, and then directly deal with the Wa Kingdom.

At the same time, the Japanese imperial court in Ping'an capital has also fully understood the situation.

In the name of the emperor, the left minister, Fujiwara Minori, appointed Koryo pirate Hong Xiangdong as the guardian of the Chijian Pass, and asked him to stick to the Chijian Pass.

Because after Fujiwara Miyori convened civil and military discussions, he believed that the Yan State Navy should not be allowed to enter the Seto Inland Sea.

In the eyes of the Japanese, the navy of Yan State is obviously stronger than their own. If they are allowed to enter the Seto Inland Sea, the Yan army can freely choose where to land.

It is better to block them outside the Maguan Strait and use the geographical advantage to win the battle.

At the same time, Fujiwara Minorai also began to issue an imperial edict of conscription to protect the country in the name of the emperor, preparing to recruit at least [-] samurai troops to resist the invasion of the Yan people.

Even the Kanto samurai and armed immigrant groups guarding the border in the Kanto region, as well as the pirate group in the Seto Inland Sea, have received a call-up order.

This can be regarded as the moment of life and death, and the powerful people from all over the world who have been with the emperor for hundreds of thousands of years have begun to respond one after another.

For a while, a large number of bandits and pirates came down from the mountain and went ashore from nowhere, and they went to Heiankyo to eat the white rice of Fujiwara Miyai, which made the left minister who was a bit picky feel distressed.

But almost at the same time, Murong Nobunaga also believed that the first battle should be fought in the Shimonoseki Strait after the military discussion.

Because he didn't come to the Wa country to rob and leave, nor did he come to plunder, but to take root.

In order to take root, it is necessary to wipe out the upper class that is still struggling in the Wa country, so he does not seek to occupy much land at all, what he pursues is to kill as much as possible.

If Wa Guo curled up and didn't give him a chance, Murong Xinchang would have to crack eggshells everywhere after entering the Seto Inland Sea, so it would be so convenient to do a big wave directly in the Shimonoseki Strait.

You said, this is not a coincidence.
