Chapter 652
The love and hatred between Huaxia and Jiaozhi has almost run through the entire history of Chinese civilization. The history of more than four times of rule has almost witnessed the heyday of Chinese civilization, and the subsequent separation process of Jiaozhi and Huaxia itself is also in the period of Chinese civilization. The key node of prosperity and decline.

After arriving in later generations, due to various reasons, Jiaozhi could no longer return to the embrace of Huaxia, but for Huaxia, the four rule of Jiaozhi itself also has very rich meanings.

Among these four ruling histories, the earliest one originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties, that is, in the history of the development of Lingnan and Baiyue, the Qin Dynasty briefly unified the Lingnan area and established the three counties of Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiang. The main body and government office of Xiangjun are all in the territory of Jiaozhi, reaching the scope of Rinan County in the Han Dynasty.

After the Han Dynasty, this concept was further strengthened. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom in the sixth year of Yuanding, and set up Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, and Zhuhai in the original Nanyue territory. Ya and Dan'er nine prefectures, and Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan at that time were the main parts of Jiaozhi in later generations.

Later, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Zhan people in Nanjun launched a riot and killed the officials of the Han family, and occupied Xianglin County under Rinan County to establish Linyi State. However, Rinan County was still in the hands of the Han family until the Eastern Wu period. It was only then that Rinan County was abolished and changed to Jiude County, but the entanglement with Lin Yiguo was far from over.

In the following hundreds of years, the Central Plains court and Linyi Kingdom had victories and defeats, and the ownership of Rinan County continued to change owners. Until the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang once again sent troops to attack Linyi Kingdom, which occupied Rinan County. Thousands of miles, the territory of the Sui Dynasty was once close to the mouth of the Mekong River, and the three counties of Bijing, Haiyin, and Linyi were newly relocated.

It's a pity that the army returned to the country after a few months after breaking through Linyi, and it was impossible to put these three counties on the ground. Therefore, Linyi Kingdom quickly returned to its old place, and then when the Annan Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty was established, the Central Plains Dynasty Intervention on Cochin has also reached its peak.

It was just that after the Tang Dynasty fell into chaos and disasters, Jiaozhou also fell into the hands of local vassals. Especially during the Southern Han Dynasty, Jiaozhou was occupied by Liu Yan, the great ancestor of the Southern Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, after the rebellion of the local chieftain Wu Quan , Jiaozhou began to drift away, gradually breaking away from Huaxia's control.

In the Song Dynasty, Ding Buling conquered the separatist forces in the territory by force, established the country name Da Quyue, and imitated Huaxia's self-proclaimed emperor and used Taiping as the year name, which was officially declared to be separated from the category of Huaxia. There have also been many turmoil in Jiaozhi, and a series of regimes such as the Li Dynasty (former Li Dynasty), the Li Dynasty, and the Chen Dynasty have appeared successively.

Although there was a civil strife in the Chen Dynasty, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di took the opportunity to send troops to reoccupy Jiaozhi, and changed the so-called Annan Kingdom to Jiaozhi Province, which was included in the territory, but by this time, Jiaozhi, which had been away for hundreds of years, had produced its own The local consciousness of the Ming Dynasty had a very strong resistance to Sinicization, so that civil strife broke out, forcing the Ming Dynasty to give up control of Jiaozhi.

"The loss of Jiaozhi is not just a military loss, but more of a political and cultural loss. You have to learn from it."

Ning Yu sighed with emotion. In fact, later generations have also studied the issue of Jiaozhi very deeply, because compared with other places in China, Jiaozhi is actually somewhat special, just like the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in the same period were also separated from the Han Dynasty. After more than four hundred years, Yanyun was still able to return to the core of China, but Jiaozhi was completely separated.

And the most important reason for this has a lot to do with the uncontrollable local forces in Jiaozhi.

Just like the last envoy of the Jinghai Navy selected by the imperial court, Dugu Shun was originally appointed as Dugu Shun. As a result, due to political struggles, this position was stolen by the local Qu Chengyu. The deteriorating strength led to Jinghai Jiedu envoys being circulated among Qu's generals and Ya generals, and the localization of the Jiaozhi administrative system was further strengthened.

In addition, due to the inconvenient land transportation in Cochin, the main way for Song people to go to Cochin is still by sea, which objectively limits the control of Cochin. In this case, the independent consciousness of Cochin is naturally stronger. The upper central court had taken an indifferent attitude towards Jiaozhi until the Northern Song Dynasty, and even suffered a major defeat when cutting Jiaozhi-Jiaozhi's independence has naturally become an unavoidable reality.

For example, although the Ming Dynasty controlled Jiaozhi, but also because of the rise of local forces, the cost of the central government's rule in Jiaozhi was so high that it frightened people to death. In addition, once the human error occurred in the central government, the Ming court's rule could not continue. go down.

Song Enming obviously understood the subtext in the emperor's words. He had already prepared a big article, and immediately bowed his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, if you want to communicate with each other, you should put traffic first. Only traffic is smooth. Only then can the grace and power of the Han family be conveyed to Jiaozhi, and if there is a change, the army can also plow the courtyard and sweep the acupoints."

All the ministers couldn't help but nodded. Under the influence of Ningyu for many years, they have paid more and more attention to transportation. Whether it is developing the economy or going out with a large army, without good transportation conditions, everything will be difficult. please.

Ning Yu also showed a bit of admiration, and smiled: "Since Song Qing suggested so, I must have a secret plan in my heart, why don't I briefly introduce it to everyone in the court hall."

In fact, it is more appropriate for this matter to be done by the current minister of the Ministry of Communications, but Song Enming did not refuse. He stood up directly and walked to the map of the situation between Dachu and Jiaozhi. At present, the key to the communication between my great Chu and Jiaozhi lies in three points."

"First, the two provinces of Yunnan and Guangxi are located in the southwest, which is the key to the transportation of Jiaozhi. Therefore, the leveling of the official road in the southwest is the key. In the past five years, the Ministry of Communications has renovated the official road along the way and built dozens of bridges. , dredging the waterway, now the southwest land is unimpeded, and only need follow-up management and maintenance.”

"Second, if you want to connect to Jiaozhi, you need to open up several mountain roads on the border of Guangxi Province to connect to Jiaozhi. At that time, the army can divide the troops and set off from the mountain roads, as the forerunner and backup road, which can be further used by immigrants in the future."

"The third, and most important point, is to imitate Qin Shihuang's cultivation of spiritual canals to conquer Baiyue. We, Great Chu, should also dredge the water systems of the Red River and Xijiang River, so as to control the entire Jiaozhi with the help of water channels."

At the end, Song Enming said categorically: "As long as we can do this, the 41 Cochin prefectures, 210 prefectures, and [-] counties will naturally be able to return to China again, and the South China Sea will be further cleansed."

On the eighth day of March, the city of Kyoto was in a state of depression. There were a large number of defeated shogunate soldiers entering the city at the city gate, but they all had miserable expressions on their faces and wore rag-like clothes on their bodies. There is no order at all, so everyone is blocking the door, but they can't advance or retreat.

In fact, in the past winter, the situation in Japan has undergone very major changes. That is, shortly after the Edo fire, the Chu army landed from the direction of Edo on a large scale, including many mercenaries from North Korea. The first Chu army of more than 5 people quickly captured Kanagawa, Kofu and other places. By February, it had already attacked Nagoya, only a line away from Kyoto.

However, after receiving the news of the Battle of Edo, the allied forces of the Southwest feudal lords suddenly changed their previous style and began to rush forward, attacking all the way to the Fukuyama area, which is not far from the direction of Kyoto. Under the defeat, a large area of ​​land was lost, and seeing that there was no way forward, even many samurai attached to the shogunate began to collapse.

And Tokugawa Yoshimune, who fled all the way to Kyoto, suffered the blow of the Edo War, and his mental head has become very weak, and he even has some mental problems-he often wakes up suddenly in the middle of the night, And started yelling, worrying in fear that someone from the Chu army would suddenly appear outside the door!
If in normal times, there would naturally be old Zhongyu Mizuno who came forward to comfort the general, but during the previous Edo War, Mizuno Tadyuki had already met Amaterasu along with the burning Edo Castle, and the newly promoted old Zhongyu Tanaka Zhaoyi did not have this confidence, and could only wait for the general to wake up.

"Tanaka."

In the middle of the night, Tokugawa Yoshimune stared at the map in front of him with red eyes, and muttered to himself, "Do you think this general should escape from the capital again? The Chu Kou and the southwestern traitors are probably very close." We will arrive in the capital soon. No! If this general leaves the capital, wouldn’t it be just to take advantage of the wishes of those rebellious officials?”

"I don't know"

Tanaka Zhaoyi wiped the sweat off his face, he was already worried about whether Tokugawa Yoshimune would be able to return to a normal person
Sure enough, Tokugawa Yoshimune didn't ask Tanaka about his intentions, he quickly answered himself, "No, this general can't leave yet, how can this general leave without killing those traitors from the government?"

When he said this, Tokugawa Yoshimune turned his head, stared at Tanaka Zhaoyi coldly, and said: "The reason why the shogunate was defeated is entirely because of the discord among the people. The problem of the system, that is to say, is entirely because of those public officials."

"If you want to cheer up Japan, you must first implement the integration of public and military forces, and if you want to realize the integration of public and military forces, you must first kill public officials and rebels!"

Tokugawa Yoshimune's tone contained a little fear and unwillingness, but he was really unconvinced in his heart. As a man who was determined to reform the whole of Japan, he adopted the method of enjoyment reform as soon as he took office to enhance Japan's national power and the strength of the shogunate, making The shogunate, which was already on the verge of crisis, now has the confidence to combine public and military forces.

As long as the combination of public and martial arts is completed, Tokugawa Yoshimune will be able to slowly map it out, waiting for the decline of the Central Plains Dynasty, and then his descendants will be able to follow the path of the past, conquer North Korea again, and compete in the Central Plains!

If that day comes, then Tokugawa Yoshimune can become the greatest shogun. No, His Majesty the Emperor.

It's a pity that Da Chu's quick rise gave him a blow to the head. The Edo fire burned not only the past of the Tokugawa family, but also the future in Tokugawa Yoshimune's heart.

When everything was irreversible, Tokugawa Yoshimune was almost going crazy. He stared at Tanaka Zhaoyi almost angrily, but he issued a shocking order.

"Execute the emperor's heir! Execute the officials and ministers! Kill all those who violated the Tokugawa shogunate!"

The cold sweat dripped down Tian Zhong Zhaoyi's face in an instant, but he knelt on the ground but didn't dare to wipe it off, so he could only whisper: "Hey Yi, I'll do it now."

He didn't bargain, and he didn't dare to bargain. On this kind of issue, any change in tone will only take away more heads and kill more irrelevant people. What's more, in today's capital city, such a It's not a bad thing, because the public is indeed secretly contacting the Chu army and the southwestern feudal clans.
In this world where you kill me and I kill you, how can there be many truths to say?When the Chu army invades the capital in the future, or when the southwestern vassals invade the capital, they will die at that time. Who will intercede for them then?

It was night, the old Naka Tanaka summoned the generals of the shogunate army urgently, and promulgated Tokugawa Yoshimune's order. For these shogunate generals, the emperor and the public are more often playing a role of hatred. character, there is no homage, so after being ordered, there is hardly any opinion.

"Drip-drip-drip-"

On the streets of Kyoto in the middle of the night, there were bursts of sharp whistles. Thousands of shogunate soldiers gathered like a stream. Their faces were a little excited and bloodthirsty, and their hands were holding muskets. She was trembling slightly, but it wasn't fear, but excitement and anticipation.

All the soldiers of the shogunate army already knew that this time the target was not the wolves of Chu Kou, but the families of the princes in the capital city. After all, he is a well-known family of public servants, and his house is full of delicious rice and delicious women!

Light rain fell from the night sky, but this did not alleviate the desire in everyone's heart. Even the generals who were in charge of commanding the battle looked eager to try, and the greed in their eyes almost made people shudder.

"Mr. Xiaocang, this time we are going to make a fortune!"

"Yes, this is Kyoto! Although it is not as luxurious as Edo, it is still Kyoto after all!"

"After I get the money, I don't want to continue to be a soldier, and I don't want to fight Chu Kou to the death. When the time comes, I will go to the countryside to buy a field. I don't know how comfortable life will be!"

"Hey hey, this time it's really developed!"

The soldiers of the shogunate were whispering to each other, with smiles on their faces, while they were talking, they stared at the adults giving orders. As long as they waited for the order to set off, Kyoto tonight would become a paradise for them to indulge in. , when the time comes, everything here will be waiting for them to come and get it!
