This Qing is wrong

Chapter 202 The Japanese Samurai Eagerly Looking Forward to War

In the council hall of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Edo Castle, the fifth-generation shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who had just replaced 'Stupid Gongfang', who was the fourth-generation shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna, was negotiating with the senior middle-ranking officer of the Tokugawa shogunate. Don question.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is the fourth son of the third-generation shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, not the direct son of the fourth-generation Tokugawa shogun Tokugawa Iegang. This shows how low the intelligence of that stupid public is. Being seized by his elders...

What the outside world saw was that the Tokugawa shogunate strongly rejected the harsh conditions of the new empire of the Central Plains, the Tang Dynasty, but in fact the Tokugawa shogunate had already held dozens of meetings for this purpose.

The Tokugawa shogunate was so strong, not because the Tokugawa shogunate was arrogant and ignorant, but because they had to do it...

"Master Gongfang, the document of declaration of war from the Tang Dynasty has arrived in Edo, and what should come is finally here..."

An old middle schooler who was kneeling on the tatami mat reported to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi with a dejected tone.

Even though he knew that this day was unavoidable, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi still felt suffocated when it really came.

For the 18th time, I complained about the powerful emperor of the Tang Empire.

You said you can't be more tactful when you raise the conditions?

The Tokugawa shogunate is not the only one who decides to split Japan openly. If this condition is agreed, the samurai below will not be able to punish the country's thieves!
Although Japan is closed to the outside world, it is not impossible to be unaware of such a major event as the change of dynasty in the Central Plains. Even if they do not know, the mission of the Tang Empire has been in Japan, and they should know what they should know!

Therefore, the top leaders of the Tokugawa shogunate are very sure that they are a fart in the face of the current Tang Empire. Even if the navy of the Tang Empire is not enough to support large-scale transoceanic operations, Li Changqing's war puppet can be thrown directly!

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's brain hurts when he thinks of the endless, fearless and proficient army descending to Japan...

If the Tang Empire was not so high-profile, and did not openly think about splitting Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate did not mind submitting to the mighty Tang Empire.

However, let's see what conditions Li Changqing proposed?
Return power to the Emperor and divide Japan into two, with the Tokugawa Shogunate ruling the east and the Emperor ruling the west!
Good guy, does the Tang Empire want to use a treaty to divide Japan into two dynasties?

The emperor, the beggar monarch, is naturally very happy, but can the samurai below agree?

The most important thing is that the spirit of bushido in Japan is quite extreme. The samurai below have no idea how terrible the emperor of the Tang Empire is. If there is no battle, all the pressure will be on the Tokugawa shogunate.

At that time, the Tokugawa shogunate will have to finish the calf before the Tang Empire takes action.

This is why the Tokugawa shogunate had to make a strong statement.

"We predicted this scene a long time ago, didn't we?
Being able to fight against the Great Tang Empire and let the people below see how powerful the Great Tang Empire is, then our Tokugawa family will also have a step down.

I have learned from the emperor that the emperor of the Tang Empire will not directly turn the Great Japanese Empire into one or several directly-administered provinces as he did with the Korean Kingdom.

After Japan is downgraded, it will only become a vassal state of the Tang Empire. "

The eyes of the Tokugawa shogunate were all over the capital, and the news that the emperor had talked with the envoy of the Tang Dynasty could not be hidden. Because of this, the Tokugawa shogunate had the confidence not to contact the envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

"Master Gongfang, the emperor of the Tang Kingdom has arrived in Pusan ​​City. With the ability of the Emperor of the Tang Kingdom, I am afraid that it will not be long before his puppet descends on Edo City."

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi nodded slightly and asked:
"Have the corps of daimyo from all over the world arrived in Edo?"

"Master Kokata, apart from the daimyos who are far away, more than 11% of the daimyo's army has gathered outside Edo Castle, and the number is about [-]."

"enough.

It is enough to transfer the warriors of the main combat faction outside the city for defense. If there is no battle, those people will never know the power of the Tang Empire. "

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi said indifferently.

Easily decided the lives of tens of thousands of samurai loyal to the Tokugawa family!

However, the fanaticism of the samurai in Japan is inseparable from the day and night brainwashing of their superiors.

In Japan, the concept of death by humiliating ministers has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the brutal way of samurai suicide, such as seppuku, was developed. How could those samurai not go to extremes?
The various slashing privileges given to the warriors have also cultivated the fierceness of the warriors, especially those warriors who serve as military positions, and they are all keen on competing in swordsmanship.

Incidents of using living farmers to test knives frequently occurred in various parts of Japan.

Of course, the Japanese can live and die.

The senior officials of the Tokugawa shogunate have found out Li Changqing's habit of dropping war puppets, and specially selected large cities where the enemy gathered heavy troops to drop war puppets.

Therefore, the Tokugawa shogunate, bent on defeat, simply launched a call for the Great Patriotic War, summoning the troops of all the daimyos to gather in the Edo area, waiting for Li Changqing to drop the war puppets!

Li Changqing naturally discovered this too. He didn't know the intentions of the high-level Tokugawa shogunate, but he could see from the small map that the small red dots in Japan were constantly converging and merging towards the big red dot in Edo Castle.

Li Changqing wanted to do it once and for all, so he simply waited for all the little red dots to gather in Edo before releasing them.

Break the backbone of Japan at once!
Only by conquering Japan can they serve themselves better.

As for the attitude of the Tokugawa shogunate, it is not important. In many cases, the direction of a regime is not decided by the rulers.

A ruler may not care about the opinions of ordinary people, but he cannot ignore the opinions of those who are members of the country.

For example, when the Central Plains Dynasty promulgated policies, it was necessary to consider the opinions and interests of those powerful families and even large local gentry.

Otherwise, it is easy to cause a catastrophe!
The most typical one is the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang was scolded as a tyrant in the history books, but it was written by the enemies who overthrew him. A reasonable person only needs to look at what Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang did during his reign to know that Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang Not a pure tyrant.

Digging the canal was not for Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang's own enjoyment, but a major event that benefited the country and the people. Even now, the freight traffic between the north and the south depends on the Grand Canal opened by Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang!
Typical ancestors plant trees and descendants enjoy the shade!
As for the imperial examination system created by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, it provided a ladder for the children of poor families to climb to the sky, breaking the monopoly control of the bureaucratic system by the aristocratic families.

In fact, the fall of Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, had a lot to do with his creation of the imperial examination system.

The imperial examination system developed by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was digging the foundation of aristocratic families!

It's no wonder the aristocratic family didn't kill him!
In fact, it was the power of the aristocratic family that really overthrew Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang.

However, during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the power of the aristocratic family was greatly weakened, which paved the way for the prosperous era opened by the Tang Dynasty.

This is why after Datang inherited the imperial examination system, the aristocratic families were unable to continue to resist.

Aristocratic families capable of rebelling either became the rulers of the Tang Dynasty or were swallowed by war.

It can be said that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty also sacrificed his own dynasty and broke the political monopoly of the aristocratic family.

It's a pity that the pioneers of reform often don't get any benefits, but the people behind can take this credit to themselves.

This principle is applicable even in the 21st century. Take the game industry as an example. After the innovative people become popular, they will be crushed and acquired by capital, or they will simply imitate you and crush you. Over time, who the hell will still be a pioneer?
Isn't it good to lie down and make bad money?

Capital has money, resources, and connections, so you can make money with ready-made fruits. Why spend money on development and research by yourself?

This is actually the inertia of capital.

It is the instinct of capital to avoid risks.

But people don't understand the benefits of innovation, but don't want to spend money and take risks.

So many dynasties before Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not touch the fundamental interests of the aristocratic family. To put it bluntly, he was worried about causing backlash.

As a result, Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, a fool, insisted on creating the imperial examination system for the disadvantaged class and offended the family. As a result, his own dynasty was destroyed, and the fruits of his creation were taken away by the latecomers...

In the end, he ended up with the name of a tyrant and a faint king.

Isn't this a silly fork?
Why is sacrificing oneself to achieve others, why is it promoted as a social virtue?

Because those who promote this virtue behind the scenes are waiting to reap the rewards!
They themselves are not willing to take the risk of the pioneers, so they can only encourage others to walk by feeling the stones. Anyway, it is not themselves who fell to death.

When the predecessors have blazed the trail, these people can feel at ease and move forward without taking any risks. They can even use the resources in their hands to kick away the pioneers who are covered in scars.

The reality is cruel, so no one wants to expose the cruel truth.

The conspirators behind it wished that there would be more idiots like Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang!
Fortunately, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is a smart man today. He knows that surrendering to the Tang Empire can save the samurai class of Japan from this catastrophe.

Because it is impossible for a samurai to beat a war puppet...

However, Tsunayoshi Tokugawa was unwilling to sacrifice his own interests to preserve the samurai class in Japan, so he simply promoted the outbreak of war and asked Li Changqing of the Tang Empire to wake up those fanatical samurai with his own hands.

In this way, not only the power of the Tokugawa shogunate will be lost, but the daimyos all over Japan will also bleed.

A few days later, Yasuo Yamashita, under the jurisdiction of the shogunate army outside Edo City, was doing his daily compulsory homework—wiping his precious sword.

Yamashita Yasuo loves his big sword for 10 minutes, and even named it Haifeng himself, which means that killing is as fast as the wind!
The reason why Yamashita Yasuo likes this Hayate Taidachi so much is not only because of its high price...

The main reason is that during the knife test, Yasuo Yamashita chopped off the heads of five untouchable farmers in one go, but the blade is still as clean as new!

Knife testing by living people is the highest level of knife testing, and the quality assurance is also the best.

After all, the purpose of the samurai swords chosen by the samurai is to cut people. Naturally, the best effect is to test the sword with a living person.

Later, it was confirmed that Yasuo Yamashita's money was worth it. When he was dueling with a low-level samurai, he cut off the opponent's samurai sword continuously and cut the opponent into two.

Although there is a reason why Yamashita Yasuo is stronger in force, it also proves how excellent the quality of this treasured sword named Haifeng is.

At this time, Yasuo Yamashita is a high-ranking samurai in the shogunate army. He is different from other people who inherited high-ranking samurai by fighting for their fathers. .

Now that Japan has been in peace for nearly a hundred years, it is very difficult for a samurai to rely on military exploits to improve. Even if you are highly skilled in martial arts, you may not have a chance. You must frequently suppress bandits to be possible.

However, those folk bandits are not fools, so naturally they will not jump out to confront the warriors head-on. If they want to rely on bandit suppression to get promoted, they must go deep into the mountains and face various insidious traps to find the bandits.

In this way, enough combat exploits can be accumulated, and all of them must be elite fighters, not only with superb force, but also with rich combat experience.

It's a pity that Yasuo Yamashita, who was promoted by relying on military merit, has been ridiculed by senior warriors of the same level.

This is normal, any age background and bloodline will crush ability, even in the 21st century, it is more reliable to compete with parents and background contacts than compete with ability.

No matter how outstanding your ability is, it is better to have a good family.

No matter how hard you work, the goal you strive for is nothing but the starting point that people have at birth.

There is no way, this is the cruel reality. After all, the family of the ancestors is not a pie that fell from the sky. It is very difficult to conquer the world. If you have the ability, you should also try to conquer the world?
Isn't it normal for people's grandparents to struggle to become the ruling class, while their descendants enjoy the joy of crushing their peers?

It is human nature, whoever becomes the superior will also give priority to arranging jobs for his children, rather than giving a dog.

Although Yamashita Yasuo was unwilling, but faced with those ten high-level warriors who might not be able to defeat him even if tied together, he could only choose to swallow his anger.

Otherwise, it is easy to kill, but the aftermath can kill his whole family!

No matter how powerful you are, can you still be stronger than the army?
Yamashita Yasuo knew that the only thing that could change his destiny was war. In the war, he continued to seek military exploits and improve his status. When he was promoted to the level of Banner Samurai, would those senior warriors still have the right to laugh at him?
As a result, Yasuo Yamashita, like other high-ranking samurai who relied on military exploits to make a fortune, became a veritable main combat faction.

what?
The emperor of the Tang Kingdom intends to divide Japan into two and lower Japan to a vassal state of the Tang Kingdom?
Baga road, why? !

Although the Tang State is strong, Japan is blessed with kamikaze, so if you have the ability to land and compete!

Not only high-level warriors like Yasuo Yamashita, but also those warriors who became ronin because they lost their lords, were even more excited to wait until the Tang army invaded.

As long as a full-scale war breaks out in Japan, this group of ronin will have enough to eat!
