This Qing is wrong

Chapter 201 The Significance of Conquering Japan

"Your Majesty, the Japanese island is separated from the mainland by a sea. If His Majesty sends war puppets to the Japanese island indefinitely, those puppets should not be able to cross the sea after slaughtering the Japanese."

Luna, who was kicking Li Changqing's leg, suggested.

Of the five great Tang saintesses today, only Luna is very interested in political affairs, and the establishment of the White Lotus Holy Court was also arranged by Luna alone.

In contrast, the other four saints.

Shao Si Ming is a 'little mute' who practiced silent martial arts, unless he couldn't help it, he would never scream.

Well, Li Changqing has many ways to make Shao Siming speak out!

Da Si Ming is a war madman. He is very interested in killing people and fighting wars, but he is not interested in politics. He believes that the only way to solve all problems in the world is violence.

If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem!

Yan Lingji is a flamboyant... nymphomaniac, at least she is like this now. Apart from teasing people, she pesters Li Changqing for white soy milk all day long.

Li Changqing has been unable to understand, what's so good about that thing?

It smells fishy!

Chi Lian is a talented student who is very interested in biology and medicine, and often asks the people below to send him corpses for research...

And all kinds of death row prisoners!
Of course, torturing people is also one of Chi Lian's hobbies, but Chi Lian's main purpose of torturing people is to test the new poisons he developed.

All in all, except for the moon god, the five saintesses are all a bit abnormal...

Li Changqing once sighed for this: "The Jade Heart Sutra is simply the psychological killer of young women!"

As a matter of course, this kind of martial arts cheats that can distort human nature was completely banned by the court of the Tang Empire, no matter what authority it was, it was not allowed to practice.

On the other hand, the Sunflower Collection, which has no major sequelae, is highly praised by the Tang Empire. Anyone who is willing to work for the Tang Empire can practice it.

It's a pity that men care too much about themselves. Even though the Sunflower Book is one of the best martial arts holy books in the world, few people are willing to practice it...

As for the group of eunuchs, Li Changqing felt intimidated.

It's not a physical reaction, but a psychological discomfort. I always feel that cutting off a man is more terrifying than killing a man. The eunuch himself did nothing wrong. Why did he create such a cruel profession?
To put it bluntly, Li Changqing's educational philosophy in the harmonious society in his previous life made him not interested in the profession of eunuch.

Li Changqing doesn't care how many people he kills, but he doesn't have a habit of abusing others.

Unless there is profit to be made.

However, what is the benefit of making eunuchs?
Therefore, the current Datang Palace is basically supported by court ladies.

Li Changqing would rather turn his house into a kingdom of daughters than see eunuchs run rampant.

As for the guarding and physical work of the palace, let those brainwashed guards who have no desire to do it.

Because of the existence of the brainwashing guards, eunuchs were basically eliminated from the imperial palace of the Tang Empire. Only Pang Yan and the Sunflower Collection he trained belonged to eunuchs, and there were no serious eunuchs. There is no promotion system for eunuchs anymore.

Li Changqing didn't need eunuchs as his confidantes to check and balance the government. Now Li Changqing had his say all over the Tang Empire, and he could execute whoever he wanted, without even needing a reason.

If God wants to punish you, it can kill you in the form of Taoist religion.

Li Changqing found that religion is so useful. If you want to deal with someone, you can just blame God for the reason. Can you still argue with Heaven?
Are mortals qualified to question the true God?
This world is not the scientific value world with a high level of education and culture in the 21st century. In this world, there is no one who is not in awe of heaven and gods, from the nobles to the common people.

On specific festivals every year, a large number of people go to burn incense to worship, or burn paper to their deceased ancestors, which is actually awe of metaphysics.

They really believe that there is a fairyland in the sky where the gods live, and there is a underworld below that is dedicated to storing the souls of the dead.

Of course, Li Changqing once specifically consulted Taoist master Zhuge Jingtian on this issue.

No one can prove whether there is a heavenly court in heaven, even the celestial masters recorded in history have never been to the so-called heavenly court.

Therefore, Li Changqing felt that the theory of heaven should be the same as the legend of the Tathagata Buddha who suppressed the heaven and the earth, and it was just a story boasted for preaching.

But the underworld is real.

Because Taoist masters can drive ghosts and exorcise corpses.

According to Zhuge Zhenren's words, ghosts are actually spirit bodies formed by the soul of a living person due to various special reasons after death.

Ghosts tend to lose most of their memories of life, and their spiritual intelligence will become very low, leaving only some obsessions and aversion to living beings.

Therefore, ghosts and living people are completely different individuals.

However, this world is very unfriendly to ghosts. During the daytime, ghosts cannot survive independently. The spirit body is extremely vulnerable to yang energy, and cannot even go to places with many people and heavy yang energy. The responsible ghosts will be washed away by the yang energy of living people!

Yin Qi is the soil on which ghosts live. Unfortunately, in the Dharma-ending era, the birth of Yin Qi is very difficult, and ghosts are almost extinct. Only Taoists are still practicing ghost control.

Taoist exorcism is actually refining zombies, this line is quite strong in Taoism, any master of Taoism has mastered the ability to refine zombies.

Zhuge Jingtian can also, but the fighting power of the zombies...

Not to mention!

In the era of cold weapons, the upgraded version of zombies, iron corpses, still has some uses. Now that firearms are rampant, the protection of iron corpses is really not good against firearms. Taoism has rarely refined iron corpses and zombies on a large scale.

According to Zhuge Jingtian, if there is no special environment and Taoist masters sacrifice training, people will voluntarily sink into the ground after death, and enter another different space-the underworld.

Daoists all know this channel, but this channel is one-way, and once you enter it, you can't go back, so unless you are a Taoist master who is tired of life, you will not explore in person, at most you will use other means to 'communicate' with the underworld.

Because Daoist real people often used yellow paper to make talisman paper at first, and after burning it, it was passed to the underworld for communication. There is a custom of sending money to deceased relatives and burning yellow paper.

Later, it developed into Tiandi Bank...

Of course, the so-called Tiandi Bank was fabricated by unscrupulous traders who specialize in making dead money.

In fact, burning yellow paper is not giving money to the ghosts of the dead, and even Taoist real people don't know whether the underworld needs money.

That is another completely different space. People think that people there also use money, but it is only imagined by the inertia of people-oriented thinking.

Of course, Taoist masters have no idea of ​​correcting this wrong behavior of the people.

Because of their cultivation, Taoist masters always treat ordinary people with a superior attitude, not to say that they no longer regard the life and death of ordinary people, after all, people in Taoism need to cultivate yin virtue.

It's just that the attitude of Taoists towards ordinary people is more like a person's attitude towards pets at home-not the kind of owner who treats pets like children!

It is like the attitude of the owner who raises chickens, ducks, pigs and other animals in the countryside.

If necessary, there is never a shortage of evil beings who take living people to practice in Taoism.

This is actually a concept that overlooks the common people.

After Li Changqing heard it, he was very shocked. He didn't expect that there really is a hell in this world, and it's not something fabricated by the Taoist sect to fool people.

However, Li Changqing soon discovered that even if he knew the existence of the Underworld, he, like those Taoist masters, could not touch the interface of the Underworld, and even obtained very little information.

Of course, the passage between the underworld and the human world is one-way, which makes it impossible for the underworld to have any impact on the human world.

Li Changqing has nothing against Luna's participation in political affairs. After all, the other party is the object of mind control, and it is impossible to have a different heart.

When loyalty can be 100% guaranteed, the superior will often show great generosity and give the other party room to give full play to their abilities.

"The war puppets I summoned and dropped can't be sure what they do, if I drop too many, a navy is likely to appear.

At that time, those war puppets will have the ability to come across the sea.

It is refreshing to send a large number of war puppets to the Japanese island, but there are too many unstable factors, which is equivalent to putting my life on the luck to gamble. Now that I have an absolute advantage, why take this risk?
What's more, there are things I need in Japan. "

Luna raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her eyes and said, "Your Majesty wants silver from Japan?"

In the eyes of Luna, apart from a large population, the resource-poor Japan has only silver worth coveting by the Tang Empire.

"silver?
That's nothing. After killing all the Japanese, isn't the resource on the Japanese island at my disposal?

What I value are the hundreds of thousands of samurai in Japan.

Those indigenous countries in Southeast Asia have confirmed that Japanese samurai are very useful mercenaries.

They are all skilled in martial arts, brave and ruthless, and the Japanese samurai brainwashed by bushido are very brave on the battlefield.

The most important thing is that Japan, which has been at peace for a long time, simply cannot absorb so many Japanese samurai, causing most of these Japanese samurai to become ronin samurai who have lost their economic resources.

They're poor, which means the cost of hiring them to fight wars will be low!
The impoverished Japanese samurai would not care about crossing the ocean to start a new family.

In contrast, our army under the rule of the Tang Empire.

Regardless of their original identities, the local garrison who got the equal land had lost interest in foreign expeditions.

You can't ask the soldiers to bring their family members with them when they go out to fight.

That's not called an expedition, but an escape like Kang Mazi.

This is why I need to mobilize the troops of the independent warlords and governors during my several foreign expansions.

However, after continuous mobilization, those warlord troops have been exhausted, and they are about to be transformed into nomadic troops by me.

Naturally, the combat effectiveness of those warlord troops will become weaker and weaker.

Fortunately, there are no strong opponents in the territory where I need them to attack, so there is no trouble.

Even so, I cannot always use those warlord troops.

The land area of ​​the Tang Empire is getting bigger and bigger, and the borders are getting wider and wider, and troops are required to be stationed everywhere. I have arrangements for those warlord troops, and it is impossible to let them go out to sea for expeditions.

At this time, I need a group of fighters who have certain combat effectiveness and are willing to go out to expand the territory for me.

War puppets are a sharp weapon to hurt others and ourselves. If we want to occupy the territory, we still need our own army.

Hundreds of thousands of Japanese samurai are enough for me to use for a long time.

Moreover, the cultural soil of Japan also produces samurai continuously, which is our current forerunner.

These Japanese samurai are good at suppressing mobs. Farmers in Japan are often starved to death, and there are still no large-scale peasant uprisings, because those Japanese samurai are very good at suppressing.

After these Japanese samurai occupy a place, I can give them a small piece of land on the spot and let them suppress the natives. No matter how long the security war is, the Tang Empire doesn't have to worry about it!

This is the strategy for long-term stability.

After all, it is impossible for the Tang Empire to kill all the natives every time it conquers a piece of land. What is the point of occupying more land that is not cultivated?
Just like the current Rakshasa Kingdom, it looks huge on the map, but its real national power is only the part of Europe. The vast Siberia is a no-man's land to the Rakshasa Kingdom.

After conquering Japan, my next goal is Nanyang and the Western Regions.

There should be no problems with those warlord troops in the Western Regions attacking, and my war puppets attacking.

However, the population of Nanyang aboriginals is large, and fragmented islands are everywhere. It is difficult for large-scale group operations to occur. At this time, Japanese samurai who are suitable for small-scale operations can come in handy.

Of course, Japan is an unfamiliar wolf dog. If you want Japan to serve me, you must first subdue them.

This is why I declared war on Japan.

First let the Tokugawa shogunate know my great power. If the Tokugawa shogunate doesn't know me, I will right that powerless and powerless emperor, and let the emperor treat me as a dog. "

"Is Your Majesty planning to unify Japan?"

"That's not necessary, I only want samurai from Japan, and the system of enfeoffing daimyos in Japan is good now, and can continue to be maintained, and I can even increase the power of those daimyos.

Japan is different from North Korea. It has no border with the Tang Empire, and there are not many resources. The cost of cross-sea occupation is too high, and it does not make sense. Turning Japan into a vassal state of the Tang Empire, and continuously supplying Japanese warriors to serve as the Tang Dynasty Empire expansion cannon fodder is enough. "

After hearing this, Luna asked rather worriedly: "Then what if the Tokugawa shogunate and other Japanese daimyos resist and refuse to surrender?"

"Hehe, the Bushido spirit in Japan is aimed at the brainwashing of the lower classes. The real superiors in Japan have long been corrupted by power. Like those officials who clean up demons, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death!"
