Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 395: The invaders are coming one after another! (Please subscribe, please vote)

Mito Huangmen is indeed the number one smart pill of the Tokugawa family today, and he has a thorough understanding of the problem!

The reason for Japan's self-destruction of China, in the final analysis, is to refuse equality and not to give the bottom a chance to counterattack!
In fact, when Japan first started to seclusion, it was not the era of the samurai family, but the era of emperors and public officials governing the world.At that time, the Japanese public had very high attainments in Chinese culture. The Japanese language at that time was simply a Chinese dialect, with only its own pronunciation and no characters.At that time, all official characters in Japan were Chinese characters. Hiragana did appear, but it was only used to phoneticize Chinese characters. Only women from the public family who did not have a high level of Chinese literacy would often use it.If a public man writes in hiragana, he will definitely be considered illiterate.
But it is this group of China experts who have started to isolate themselves from China!
This is basically of no benefit to the development of Japanese society and economy.Because it was not the Age of Discovery, there were no Western sailing ships traveling around the world.If Japan wants to obtain knowledge and goods from the outside, it can only communicate with China or Korea.Japan's national lockdown order not only targets China, but also targets Korea or Vietnam.

Therefore, as soon as the lockdown order was issued, Japan's external exchanges were reduced to a minimum, which limited Japan's social progress to stagnation. If it weren't for the mines at home and the many advanced technologies learned from the Tang Dynasty, life would have been difficult to survive. .

However, knowing that seclusion was not good for the country, the officials and the emperor who were familiar with China still resolutely implemented such a policy.There is only one reason for them to do this, that is, they cannot let the idea of ​​​​"Princes and generals have their own kind" spread to Japan!

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were the result of the emperor's strong soldiers and horses!

How dangerous?How scary?
The emperors and princes born from the marriages of close relatives are not strong at all. If the Japanese samurai all learn the advanced experience of "the emperor's soldiers are strong and the horses are strong", Japan will also have to "emperors take turns to do it"!

Later, when Song came to power, the throne was temporarily monopolized by the Zhao family.But the "Gongjia" and "Wujia" let go again!The imperial examinations are progressing, taking the exams to become an official was originally a good reincarnation to be an official, but it was changed to an exam, and being reincarnated does not mean being able to take the exam. What if you fail the exam?Can he open this country?
So Japan must continue to lock down the country!
However, Japan is not always locked, otherwise Japan would not have matchlock guns and cannons now.Japan could only lock itself down when the world was unified, but not during the warring states period.

Therefore, Japan's Warring States Period has become an era of comprehensive economic, cultural, and military progress. It really belongs to the more wars, the richer you get!
Today's Japan is roughly at the end of the turbulent bonus period of the Warring States Period.If it hadn't been for the Chinese civilization on the other side to progress to the "Republican Era" in the chaotic times of Ming and Qing Dynasties, completely removed the autocratic imperial power that hindered the progress of civilization, and stepped into the age of great navigation, Japan relied on the legacy of the Warring States Period. , we can still survive until the black ship attacks.

But now it is impossible that the beautiful father has not been born yet, so the son of Japan has to found a country to recognize his father.

But who to recognize as the father is a big problem!
At present, there are two and a group of fathers who are ready to accept Japanese as unfilial sons. The "two" are father Ming and father Qing, and the "group" are of course the foreign fathers.

Now the American father has not been born, the British father is not strong, and the Dutch father, the Western father, the Portuguese father, and the German father are not strong enough. If Japan only recognizes one foreign father, it seems that it cannot protect him!The population of Japan is now as large as that of the Sun King's France!So I can only recognize a few more foreign fathers.Let the British father, the Dutch father, the Western father, the Portuguese father and the German father come together to protect Japan.

Although none of the current five elders can fight, and they are not very smart, they can still distinguish the difference between the Republic of the Ming Dynasty and the United Nations of the Qing Dynasty, and the Japanese generals who rule the world and the martial arts world?

Whether it is the Republic of the Ming Dynasty or the United Republic of the Qing Dynasty, the middle and lower classes have a way to rise!

Although there were some aristocratic families entrenched at the top on both sides, they did not block the upward passage at the bottom. Even after the Ming, Zhou and Qing Dynasties began to expand their spheres of influence, the upward passage became wider.Not only can you "study hard and make progress every day" at home, but you can also go out and do international zero-dollar shopping. Although it is easy to lose your life, the threshold is low and you can turn around quickly. As long as you have a chance to live, you can try it without fear of death.

Therefore, Japan cannot identify Ming and Qing dads unless it is absolutely necessary.
As for foreign dads, first of all, they are far away and it is not easy to teach the middle and lower class Japanese badly; secondly, in addition to Dutch dads who are relatively free, British dads, Spanish dads, Portuguese dads, and German dads also seem to pay attention to reincarnation.

"Japan, absolutely can't become a little China!" The old immortal Zhong Tsuchiya Shuzhi is actually the most talented among the five elders. He himself is not afraid of the exam, but he has no confidence in his son and grandson, so he first One person expressed his opposition to identifying his father.

"It's not good to be Xiao Manqing!" The handsome old white-faced Kuze Hiroyuki immediately added something.

All the "valets" of the Manchu and Qing emperors were circumcised. If he were born in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, he would be the chief eunuch. This is not acceptable!Despite the fact that he relied on playing Zhongdao with Iemitsu to achieve great success, in fact, he had no interest in Zhongdao. It was just his job. His life was in "Yoshiwara". If there was no DD, how could he go to Yoshiwara to play?

"Then we can only form an alliance with the Netherlands!" Masanori Inaba said, "However, the order of seclusion issued by Lord Kami-kun is the law of the ancestors and must be strictly abided by!"

"Of course!" Tokugawa Mitsukuni laughed, "The Netherlands is far away from Japan, and they don't have many people in Nanyang. The impact on Japan is controllable. The report of the Nagasaki Office did not mention the opening of Japan. More port matters. The Dutch just ask us to organize Chinese ships sailing across the ocean to obtain supplies in Japan. To this end, they are willing to provide the latest muskets and cannons, and teach us shipbuilding. They can also help our people cross the ocean. Go to the New World! It looks like a very good deal!"

After Tokugawa Mitsukuni read the report, he gave it to Okubo Tadashiro for him to read. At this time Tadashiro also finished reading it and said with a smile: "It is true that the conditions of the Dutch are better. Japan does not need to be a country, but it is There is an opportunity to occupy land on the other side of the ocean, so that the shogunate can have more land to reward meritorious samurai!"

The second generation Tadashi Hota Masatoshi frowned and said: "If Japan rejects the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it means that the Qing invaders are about to invade!"

As soon as he said this, the other four senior middlemen all looked sad.

They really can't fight!
Not to mention them, not even their ancestors!
During the Warring States Period, although their ancestors were all warriors, none of them were famous generals.But Mitsukuni Mito's grandpa seems to be better at fighting!That was the Sengoku terminator who defeated Oda, Mikatahara defeated Takeda, and Ueda Castle defeated Sanada, a generation of divine king Tokugawa Ieyasu!

Therefore, several old Chinese have set their sights on Guangguo.

"It's not the Qing invaders!" Tokugawa Mitsukuni said, "It's the Korean invaders. If Japan and the Qing Dynasty were in a state of all-out war, it would force the Netherlands to choose between the Qing Dynasty and Japan! This would be very harmful to Japan. It’s very unfavorable. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty did not take action personally, but launched the war in the name of North Korea, probably because they wanted to leave some room for it.”

He is worthy of being the grandson of the god Lord Ieyasu!

War may not be possible, but flexible diplomacy is still on the line.

Several senior middlemen also nodded in agreement.

Mitsukuni added: "However, even if the imperial invaders invade, we cannot take our loyalty to the imperial court lightly. You are the lord of the Hizen Karatsu Domain, so why not take the position of Laozhong as the representative of Saikunisuji County and preside over the defense of Kyushu. No matter what, , we can’t let the North Korean army successfully land in Kyushu!”

Nishikunisuji Gundai is a position similar to the Kyushu Tentai of the Muromachi Shogunate, but it is far less advanced than the Kyushu Tentai. In the past, this position was held by senior Hatamoto of the shogunate. In addition to monitoring the Kyushu daimyo, the main responsibility was to manage ethics. The Shogunate's 16.2 stone Tianling in Kyushu.

As for the invasion of North Korean invaders, they should start from Kyushu, right?Anyway, the last time the Yuan invaders came, they sent troops from the Korean Peninsula to Kyushu.

Therefore, as the grandson of the Terminator of the Warring States Period, the inventor of Japanese history, Tokugawa Mitsukuni of the Tokugawa shogunate's first smart pill, he took it for granted that the current dynasty bandits are the same as the Yuan bandits back then.

That's why he made such a suggestion.

The five elders of the shogunate didn't know as much about military affairs as Mitsukuni. At least Mitsukuni knew how to defeat Yuan Kou, so these five people didn't care that Mitsukuni was just a feudal lord who compiled history, not the elder of the shogunate. His suggestion was unanimously agreed to.

Seeing that several senior middlemen listened to him, Guangguo became more motivated, and continued, "Negotiations with Mingguo and the Netherlands must continue, but even if we don't intend to become a little China, we don't have to turn against Mingguo immediately. Invite representatives from the Netherlands and Mr. Shunsui to Edo. Let's negotiate with them together!

In addition, orders should be issued to the daimyo of Kyushu, China, and Hokuriku to strengthen their armaments to prevent North Korea from invading the Japanese invaders. "

The senior middlemen looked at each other and felt that His Highness Mito had the solution, so they nodded in agreement.

Tokugawa Mitsukuni feels better. It seems that it is necessary to establish a position of elder, no, deputy general, to assist the general in governing the world!

In December of the 18th year of Kangxi, Busan, Choryang Woguan.

There were bursts of shouts and gunfire, and the Japanese hall, which covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters, has been battered and riddled with holes.

The so-called Japanese pavilion is actually a small Japanese-style castle.Is it a concession set aside by the Lee Dynasty of North Korea?However, this concession was not forced by the Japanese to give it to North Korea, but was set aside by the confused Koreans themselves for the Japanese. It was not given to Japanese businessmen to govern themselves, but to be managed by the Daimyo clan of Tsushima Island.

The Taima Jong family built such a Japanese temple in Choryangpo, Busan, and sent two to three hundred warriors here to maintain order.

Relying on this Japanese pavilion and the channels for trade and diplomacy with North Korea, the Zong family not only made a lot of money, but also raised their family status from [-] dan to [-] dan, and they were considered to be prominent figures.

However, when the Daecheongjin Customs Road opened the Customs and Inspection Office to Busan and charged high tariffs from the Choryangpo Japanese Museum, the Zong family had a steady stream of headaches.

At the beginning, the Zong family could still resist paying taxes by relying on the fact that they were extremely ferocious Japanese pirates.But soon Yang Qilong ignored martial ethics, sent troops to Seoul, and directly became the supervisor of North Korea, becoming the "Father Yang" of the North Korean king!
Now the Zong family couldn't stand it anymore. The Zong family was just a famous family with a hundred thousand stone. Even if the one hundred thousand stone was not an empty mark, his family could only support an army of 2000 warriors at most.Father Yang has ten times more troops than this!
Moreover, "Dad Yang" still has Shi Lang's Beiyang Navy in his hands, and Japan does not have a serious navy that can fight overseas at this time.There is no way to survive against Shi Lang's broken boats.

Therefore, the Zong family had no choice but to strengthen the defense of the Japanese temple in Choryang while paying taxes honestly.

At the end of the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, Yang Qilong, who returned to North Korea from Beijing, stepped up the game. He not only asked the Zong family to pay taxes, but also asked the Zong family to surrender to him and lead the way to attack Japan!
The Zong family definitely can’t agree!
Isn't this a daily rape?

So Yang Qilong planned to try his luck with the Caoliang Japanese Pavilion first, and sent Shi Lang's Beiyang navy to block the sea route first, and then led his most elite Sauron banner soldiers and Zhili musketeers to bet on 3000 North Korean soldiers who had just been trained. The newly formed pro-army launched a siege on the Choryang Japanese Pavilion.

This new Korean pro-army is a new army composed of Koreans trained by Yang Qilong based on the new military systems of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Great Qing Dynasty.Unlike other North Korean armies, the officers and soldiers of this North Korean army are all highly paid!

The starting salary is one tael of silver a month!
This amount is enough to buy 2 shi of brown rice in North Korea, which is 24 shi of rice a year. It is really enough for one person to serve as a soldier and support the whole family!

The New Army also has very high rewards for military merit. A third-class military merit can get a year's military pay!

In addition, the pensions for the soldiers of the New Army are also very high. They are given military pay for 10 years at a time, which is a full 120 taels, 240 shi of brown rice. Therefore, the warriors of the New Army can definitely die with peace of mind!

Apart from giving a lot of money, Yang Qilong also provided equipment for the New Army!Everyone wears armor and armor, and their weapons are a combination of Zhangsan spears and Korean shotguns. They also undergo strict training to ensure tight formation and proficient martial arts.

However, Yang Guojiu had no idea how capable this new North Korean army, which had been built at a huge cost, could fight.So today I am going to use the Choryang Japanese Pavilion to make an attack and also deceive the Japanese, making them think that the Korean heavenly soldiers will attack Kyushu like the Mongols.

After a morning of fierce fighting, the battle at Choryang Japanese Hall has come to an end.The wall that the clan warriors once guarded was in tatters and littered with corpses.Most of them were short Japanese soldiers, but there were also some Koreans wearing cloth armor.However, the exchange ratio between the two sides clearly shows that the North Koreans took advantage.

Although the Japanese samurai stationed at the Choryang Wakan have long been armed and organized in accordance with the standards of various vassal armies in Japan, the armament of the Japanese samurai army is still relatively weak. The proportion of arquebusiers is only 80. Ten-tenths of the time, there was basically no artillery or cavalry - this was the case with the Japanese army sent to Korea by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.This was not enough to watch [-] or [-] years ago, and it is certainly not enough now.

This firepower is simply not enough.

The defenders of the Choryang Japanese Pavilion also knew that they were not good enough, so they did not dare to go out to fight, and they only dared to stay inside the Japanese Pavilion.But the wall of the Japanese pavilion could not withstand the bombardment, and soon there were gaps one after another.Then the newly formed pro-army troops directly under the supervision of the North Korean Supervisory Office poured into the gap, playing drums, marching, and shouting the slogan "To defeat Japan, avenge the national humiliation."In the courtyard of the Choryang Japanese Museum, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.The warriors of the Zong family and the armed merchants put up the most tenacious resistance there, and launched a counterattack in a dense formation against the Korean army that broke through. As a result, they suffered heavy casualties from the Korean shotgun fire, with corpses piled on top of each other. It's just a big pile of corpses.It was on these piles of corpses that North Korea's new army achieved a breakthrough and broke into the core of the Japanese Pavilion!
The Choryang Japanese Pavilion is now full of flames. The defeated Japanese samurai are quite stubborn. They refused to surrender and even set themselves on fire!Hundreds of warriors, hundreds of merchants, and two to three hundred female dependents were all perished in the flames!
"Long live Duke Sui! Long live! Long live!"

When Yang Qilong was watching the battle triumphantly, a group of North Korean officials following him suddenly cheered to him. Although they cheered in Korean, he could still understand a little bit.

People are shouting long live!
He looked back at the North Korean officials, smiled and said to them: "See? The Japanese are nothing more than that. Don't be afraid, listen to my instructions. We will set foot on the land of Japan next spring and work hard." A big deal!"
