The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

There are self-destructive civilizations in this world, and the Ainu people are one of them.

The Ainu people used to have a strong civilization and a relatively developed civilization. During the pre-Qin period, they once ruled the entire sea area of ​​​​Wonu Island, with a population of tens of millions, and even had their own writing.

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help being surprised.

So far, only the Central Plains civilization has written characters on this land, and the rest include the powerful Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turks, and even Goguryeo and Baekje.

Baiyue in the south, Liuzhao in the southwest, etc. do not have their own characters.

This Ainu people actually have their own writing, which is really different.

But Chen Jingke's next words made him not know how to complain for a while: "The Aizu people are fierce and aggressive, and they are lonely overseas without any foreign enemies, so they started fighting among themselves."

"Hundreds of years of cannibalism have killed nearly ten million people, leaving only one or two million people. The writing has also been lost in the killing, and the fire of civilization has been completely cut off."

"There is not even a unified country now, but a loose tribal alliance exists."

Li Shimin was very speechless. They had seen many people who played themselves to death, but this was the first time they heard of people who cut off the civilization they played.

Chen Jingke told him about the ruined civilizations before, but those civilizations were all destroyed by foreign enemies, and the Ainu people perished in his own hands, which is really strange.

Chen Jingke didn't know what he was thinking, and continued: "In contrast, the Wonu Kingdom has been growing and growing."

"Taking advantage of the weakness of the Ainu people, they dominated the southern region during the former Han Dynasty and kept attacking north to rob the Ainu people's land."

"The Einu people are retreating and losing, and now three-quarters of the territory of the Onu Island has fallen into the hands of the Onu Kingdom."

"The Ainu people either hid in the remaining land and survived, or fled to the surrounding islands to survive."

"Fortunately, there are also many problems within the Wonu Kingdom. The biggest problem is the lack of a unified king."

"After defeating the Ainu people, they quickly split into hundreds of countries and forces. Everyone refused to accept the others and fell into chaos. This gave the Ainu people a chance to survive."

"Later, the Japanese slaves managed to unify, and adopted a system of enfeoffment similar to that of the pre-Qin period, which led to the proliferation of factions in the country. Power ministers emerged in endlessly, and the king basically became a puppet."

"Under such circumstances, they also lost the desire to actively attack the Ainu people and fell into internal strife."

It is said that the Wanu people would not attack the Yezo people who were close to Chichi, and would not develop the northern territory of Honshu Island, Yezo Island and its surrounding large islands.

What does it mean to go to invade Silla Baekje during Tang Gaozong's time?Then it became the background board of Liu Rengui's rise.

However, the brain circuit of the Wonu people is always different from that of normal people, and it is not surprising to do anything.

But they did not occupy the Ainu Island, did not eliminate the Ainu people, but it was convenient for Datang.

Chen Jingke continued: "In any case, the nominally unified Wanu country always occupies the strategic initiative, and the Ainu people can only be beaten passively."

"The Ainu people are afraid of being beaten, and the fear of the Wonu people is engraved in their bones. This is why they dare not do anything to the Wonu people no matter how much we coerce and lure them."

After listening to his explanation, Li Shimin said: "So that's the case. It's unbelievable that the Ainu people and the Japanese slaves have such a past..."

...

"Since the Ainu people are so afraid of the Wonu people, how do your elders plan to 'drive' them to attack the Wonu people?"

Chen Jingke didn't answer him, but said sadly: "In fact, there is an easier way to deal with the Japanese slaves and Ainu people. It can be said that it is effortless."

Li Shimin wanted to ask what the method was, but he opened his mouth and then closed it again.

Looking at Chen Jingke's expression, you can tell that it is not a good idea. There are still waiters and living men in the room at the moment, so don't leave any stains.

Thinking of this, he said, "Write it down and show it to me."

Chen Jingke did not use a pen, but dipped his finger in some tea and wrote the word smallpox on the table.

Li Shimin's eyelids twitched, and he quickly wiped off the words and said, "Why are your parents and seniors so vile, don't you want to accumulate virtue for your descendants?"

There was a hint of hatred in Chen Jingke's eyes, and he said, "Because our family has a deep blood feud with the Ainu people."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is there any enmity? Why did you become enmity with them?"

Chen Jingke's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said: "The Ainu people have the custom of cannibalism, and many of our people were brutally killed and eaten by them."

Li Shimin's mind naturally came up with the picture of the Chen family's fleet landing on the Yezo Island, contacting the Yezo people, and then being attacked and killed.

In fact, this is not the case. It is not the fictional Chen family that has enmity with the Ainu people, but the Chinese nation.

The Ainu people were conquered by the Wonu people and became part of the Wonu country.

During the war of aggression against China, many Ainu enlisted in the army and came to the land of China, where they carried out burning, killing and looting.

According to the later declassified information of the Wonu people, the Ainu soldiers were particularly cruel during the Anti-Japanese War, directly cutting and roasting the captured Chinese soldiers and civilians.

This is how you show your bravery.

The lunch boxes of many Ainu soldiers are filled with meat from Chinese people.

There is an old declassified photo of a dead soldier with one leg picked off to the bone, and two Eizu soldiers standing beside him.

Chen Jingke's understanding of the history of the Ainu people was only found out after looking at the old photo and searching the Internet.

Before seeing this period of history, he still had sympathy for the Ainu people.

As a minority, they have suffered discrimination from the Yamato race, and they are about to disappear in the long river of history.

But after looking at this period of history, all sympathy has disappeared, and it is better for this kind of thing to disappear.Besides, it's just a dog eats a dog, and it bites casually.

After transmigrating at this time, he naturally doesn't have a good impression of this guy with body hair comparable to that of a chimpanzee.

If possible, he really has the idea of ​​spreading the smallpox virus to Wonu Island and cleaning all the Ainu and Wonu people.

Anyway, Datang is inoculating the whole population against smallpox, and the army has already completed the vaccination, so they are not afraid of smallpox infection.

It's just a pity, he knew that Li Shimin would definitely not agree.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Li Shimin said: "I sympathize with what happened to your people, but this method is definitely not feasible, so don't mention it again in the future."

Chen Jingke took a deep breath, and said: "I know, this method was opposed by the tribe as soon as it was proposed."

"My Chinese civilization, the Central Plains, should embrace all rivers and rivers from all over the world. If we really want to do this, other vassal states will also be frightened, which is not conducive to our plan to absorb and integrate hundreds of ethnic groups."

...

Li Shimin said gratifiedly: "Your parents and seniors are admirable, and their unfinished ideals and great achievements will definitely be completed in the hands of Datang."

Chen Jingke said affirmatively: "Your Majesty and Da Lang are here, I have no doubt about it."

Li Shimin's ability and heart need not be repeated too much. The name of Tian Khan is not all obtained by force. Virtue is also very important.

He used both kindness and power to treat hundreds of clans. Those who disobeyed were treated with swords and soldiers, and those who submitted were benevolent.

This kind of method is vividly reflected in the Turkic, Tiele and other tribes. Just look at how many generals of the two tribes there are in the Tang Dynasty.

Qibi Heli was coerced into rebellion by his subordinates. In order to show his loyalty to Li Shimin, he cut off one of his ears.

After Li Shimin died, a large group of foreign generals wanted to be buried with him.

After Li Shimin's death, Ashina Helu rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and was defeated by Su Dingfang and made his last request.

He was allowed to die facing Zhaoling, because he was sorry for Emperor Taizong's kindness and trust, and wanted to atone for his sin.

In the early period of Li Zhi, there was a large group of officials and generals of the Zhenguan Dynasty. They were deeply influenced by Li Shimin, and they also implemented the policy of equal emphasis on kindness and power.

When the old officials withered and the new generation came to power, they began the road of dominance.

It's all prestige, but there is almost no grace.

This also led to turmoil in the hundreds of clans that had originally surrendered.

Pei Xingjian went to the Western Regions to pacify the Western Turks, and killed all other kings with his backhand.

When he returned to the dynasty, the Western Turks launched a larger-scale rebellion, and the frightened countries of the Western Regions also participated.

Tubo also threatened the Hexi Corridor at this time, and once made Datang almost lose the Western Regions.

It was even more remarkable in the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Gao Xianzhi stood out as a brutal figure in the Western Regions.

It doesn't matter whether you listen or not, and there is no standard for killing people. If I am happy, you can live. If I am unhappy, I will kill your whole family.

In this case, merging and absorbing hundreds of clans has become a complete joke.

In the end, hundreds of tribes in the Western Regions were forced to surrender to the Arab Empire, which led to the failure of the Battle of Talas.

But now it seems that there is no need to worry about this problem, because Li Chengqian who has not gone astray is indeed very good.

Except that his military ability is not as good as Li Shimin's, his courage and ability to handle government affairs are not much worse than him. With a little training, he is also a generation of heroes.

As long as the throne can be passed on smoothly, Datang will have at least 50 years to absorb and accommodate hundreds of clans.

As for 50 years later... I believe that science and engineering have begun to exert their strength, and it should not be a big problem for the industrial level to reach the period of the first industrial revolution.

At that time, it will be the Chinese civilization that will conquer the world.

In the future, it is not in the scope of Chen Jingke's thinking. It is hard to say whether he can live until then.

Li Shimin could see that what he said was sincere, and was very relieved, so he hinted: "The blood of your ancestors of the Chen family will not be shed in vain."

Although the smallpox virus cannot be released, there are too many ways to consume their lives in actual operation.

It's just that Chen Jingke obviously didn't understand this, and said: "As long as the Chinese civilization can prosper, the blood of our family will not be shed in vain."

Li Shimin was a little speechless, but he didn't say anything more. He would understand later, so he said instead: "How do the elders of your family plan to drive away the wolf?"

...

Chen Jingke said: "It's very simple. Eating the same kind is done by animals. The customs of the Ainu people are inhumane. My Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette and the ancestor of all nations. I have the responsibility and obligation to educate them."

"Send troops to land on these islands, those who are willing to be educated will stay, and those who are not willing to be educated will be exiled to Honshu Island."

"They only have a little land in the north of Honshu Island, which cannot accommodate so many people. In order to survive, they can only attack the Japanese slaves."

"At that time, we will sell them some weapons. I believe they will be able to cause enough trouble for the Japanese slaves."

The two tribes consume each other's population and resources, and the fight will only get more and more exhausted, while Datang will enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.

In the end, no matter who wins, Datang can attack the winner in the name of helping the loser restore the country.

At that time, it will be a matter of course to annex the entire Wonu sea area, and enfeoffment will be implemented there.

"Your Majesty, remember the rice seeds I brought back? They can be grown in cold regions, and Ezo Island is very suitable."

After two years of planting and breeding, the rice seeds he brought have the possibility of large-scale promotion.

Li Shimin was afraid that these rice seeds would be obtained by Goguryeo and Silla Baekje, so he was unwilling to plant them in Liaodong.

Instead, they plan to get the three-season rice hybrids from the South and Indochina Peninsula for cultivation.

New rice varieties with short growth cycle, good taste and high yield have been researched.

As for why the Goguryeo people didn't come to steal rice seeds...the reason is very simple. No one told them that these rice seeds can be grown in Liaodong, and they couldn't think of it at all.

Even if rice seeds are piled up in front of them, what they have to do is not planting, but boiling water and cooking.

However, Chen Jingke is afraid that these rice varieties will lose their cold resistance if they have been planted in temperate regions for a long time.

If this is the case, he will cry without tears.

The latitude of Ezo Island is similar to that of Liaodong. Planting here can maintain the cold resistance of rice seeds.

It won't be too late to transplant them when Datang wins the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong.

"There are mountains in the middle of Ezo Island, surrounded by a large plain, and a horse farm can also be opened up."

"Although there is no shortage of horse farms in the Tang Dynasty, it is better to have more of these things. Besides, in the future, horses from Ezo Island can be used to form cavalry and attack the Japanese slave country."

The grassland horses in the north, the Qinghai horses in Tuyuhun, the Shuixi Wumeng horses in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the war horses in Liaodong.

Chen Jingke proposed to plant grass and raise horses in the Rift Valley Plain of Yizhou Island, and Datang transported more than a thousand stallions to breed.

After more than a year of natural elimination, there are only two hundred horses left, but they have adapted to the local climate, water and soil environment and can reproduce naturally.

Not surprisingly, this place will become a racecourse of Datang in the future.

You can form cavalry nearby to attack the South China Sea islands.

Cavalry was the king of land warfare in the era of cold weapons, and no one disliked their own horses.

Plan ahead, in order to prevent Datang from losing the horse farm in the north one day, Li Shimin doesn't mind adding another horse farm as a backup base.

When I heard that Ezo Island could raise horses and grow cold-resistant rice, I immediately made up my mind.

"This method is good. After I discuss and perfect the plan with the ministers, I will act accordingly."

Chen Jingke thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, there are several large-scale gold, silver and copper mines on the island. Your Majesty can send people to mine them to alleviate the money shortage problem in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin regained his energy immediately, and said, "Do you know where exactly?"

Datang is not short of money, but short of 'money'.

In ancient times, metal physical currency was used, but China's production of gold, silver and copper was limited, and money shortage was the norm.

At this time, Datang implemented the policy of using both money and goods, and Gebu and silk could also be used as money.

Sometimes food is even used directly as 'money'.

If there is a large amount of gold, silver and copper on Wonu Island, it will indeed alleviate the Tang Dynasty's lack of money.

Chen Jingke shook his head and said, "I only know that there is a large silver mine in the north of Wonu Island, but I don't know where it is."

"However, Zuodu Island in the north of Wonu Island is rich in gold, silver and copper deposits, enough to be mined for hundreds of years."

Because of the low silver output in China, silver was only a precious metal for making jewelry and utensils at this time, and it could not be used as currency.

If a steady stream of silver can be obtained from the Wonu Island, it is possible to incorporate silver into the monetary system.

The addition of a new metal currency is very useful in alleviating the money shortage.

It can be said that Datang can get too much benefit from the capture of Wonu Island.
