A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 471 From today on, this is the sacred and indivisible land of Zhuxia

The chiefs of the Ryukyu Islands formed a tribute team to pay tribute. The Daqian royal family was very happy and allowed them to live in the Sifang Pavilion to learn etiquette. These Ryukyuan people landed in Suzhou at that time. After seeing how prosperous and prosperous Daqian was, they became more and more in awe of Daqian.

This was clearly shown when facing Wang Yun. In the past, they were very warm and friendly when facing Wang Yun, but they were not too reserved and even a little casual, but now they have become very respectful. Even if Wang Yun told them not to be cautious, they could not return to their previous state.

After studying at the Sifangkan, Ryukyu and Ryukyu paid tribute at a great court meeting and received rewards. The royal family also specially gave seals and boundary monuments to the two sides.

They are the main seal of the Edict to Build the Great Ryukyu Kingdom and the main seal of the Edict to Build the Small Ryukyu Kingdom. The two boundary monuments are also the boundary monuments of the Imperial Order to Build the Great Ryukyu Kingdom. The big and small Ryukyus were not crowned kings, but kings, equivalent to dukes. At the same time, Wang Yun was granted the title of Zhenhai King, with jurisdiction over Ryukyu and Fusang.

The leaders of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Great Ryukyu Kingdom did not reject this relationship. On the contrary, they happily accepted it. During half a month at the Sifang Pavilion, they were completely impressed by the culture and prosperity of Daqian. At the same time, he also understood his position more clearly.

During this period, they were not the only ones who came to pay tribute, but also many kings from the Western Regions and some kings from southern Yunnan came to pay tribute. After seeing them, they quickly understood their location.

Wang Yun was named King of Zhenhai, which also represented that the royal family was more active in overseas development. After the meeting, Wang Yun returned to Ryukyu and Ryukyu with the envoys from the Ryukyu Kingdom and the rewards given to them, including a stone tablet ordering the establishment of the four Fuso counties. From today on, Ryukyu and Ryukyu and the four Fuso Islands will be established. It is an inseparable part of Zhuxia's sacredness.

After Wang Yun successfully found the sea route to Fusang, the royal family was also very happy. This also meant that the gold and silver and other minerals on the Fusang Islands could be used by Daqian.

The benefits of Fuso Island are far greater than those of Ryukyu Island. There is enough silver in it to last for thousands of years. Therefore, after learning that the sea route was open, the royal family began to plan how to mine silver mines.

Silver mining requires a lot of labor, and with Daqian's current mining technology, a lot of glutinous rice is consumed. Immigrants from the Central Plains would consume too much food by transporting it, so the best way was to use Japanese people to mine it.

Fortunately, there are a large number of Japanese people in the Fuso Islands. Wang Yun can use the Japanese people to mine silver mines and at the same time use the Japanese people for farming. As for mysophobia, I don't have it at all. After all, this kind of thing was too common during the development period of Zhuxia.

Wang Yun then led the fleet to Fusang again. In order to cultivate the navy, with the support of the imperial court, Wang Yun once again recruited [-] fishermen along the coast for training, and at the same time screened the Gusu navy. The imperial court has decided to expand the navy, so the Gusu Navy will naturally not let it go.

Although most of the Gusu navy is a river navy, it is still easier than recruiting ordinary people for training.

The royal family has always had a high degree of control over the military. In addition to the various rights of the court, the royal family attaches the most importance to military, financial and personnel rights.

The emperor is governed by strong soldiers and horses. This principle is very clear to the royal family.

The imperial court has always attached great importance to military power. In the sacred capital of Luoyang and the Five Capitals, the mobilization of more than [-] troops must be reported. There are also strict restrictions on the bodyguards of each noble family.

There is even an unspoken rule here. For example, the Xianghou has fifty guards according to the Daqian system, but in Luoyang or Wujing, no Xianghou will allow full guards.

Under normal circumstances, the number of guards is [-]%, that is, forty people. This is true whether they are at the Duke level or the County Marquis level.

At the same time, armor is usually not allowed in the homes of nobles like Luoyang, the capital of the gods. Unless it is granted by the royal family and given by the emperor, this kind of armor can be retained. The same is true for bows and crossbows. The court does not allow common people and nobles to hide crossbows in private, but bows and arrows are allowed, and there are not many restrictions on ordinary weapons.

After all, the imperial court admires the martial spirit. If even weapons, bows and arrows are prohibited for the common people to possess, then what can the common people do to maintain the martial spirit? Rely on imagination?

Although some Legalists have always said that Confucianism disrupted the law with literature, and chivalry violated the prohibition with martial arts, and wanted the royal family to implement stricter laws and prohibit private possession of weapons among the people, these proposals were rejected by the royal family without hesitation.

The royal family was well aware of the necessity of maintaining the martial spirit of Daqian folk. This era is not an era of etiquette and morality. To put it in one sentence, the barbarians are fearful of power and unethical.

Daqian was able to drive the Xiongnu to the north, defeat the Baiyue to the south, and conquer Wusun and Dawan in the west. They relied not on etiquette and morality, but on the Daqian warriors recruited from the people generation after generation.

It is precisely because of these Xia people who are skilled in bows and horses, superb in martial arts, and high in fighting spirit that Da Gan can suppress all parties. It is very difficult for a group of people who have been domesticated into sheep to be retrained into qualified soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is also inferior.

This approach of Daqian can provide a large number of brave and skilled soldiers for the development of Daqian, but it also has many consequences, such as public security problems.

There are a lot of fights among people all over the country and even in the sacred capital of Luoyang. At the same time, it will be very difficult to manage rural estates outside the city, especially in those villages where the imperial power cannot control. There are endless fights.

Of course, although there were many fights, the court would severely crack down on casualties.

Similarly, in the countryside, the people's strong martial virtue has another benefit, that is, it becomes more difficult for local powerful people, officials, and big families to bully the people.

After all, these people would not be afraid if a fight broke out. Many fathers and brothers in the village had served in the army. Basically, the same people in the same village would practice military formations. Who would win and who would lose is another matter. If the quarrel got bigger, the royal family would definitely intervene. This is also Another purpose of the royal family was to restrict the arbitrariness of local officials.

As for the people's rebellion, the royal family is not even worried. If the people rebel, it means there is a big problem with the court or at the grassroots level.

In real history, the martial arts of the Xia people spread until the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It also experienced an era of lawlessness among the martial arts of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Starting from the Song Dynasty, martial arts among the people were continuously suppressed.

After the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty suppressed the martial arts in the Central Plains for a hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty saw the rise of Confucianism, the martial arts were no longer suppressed, but completely despised. After the nobles and martial arts reached the extreme, they were picked up by the Manchus and ruled the Central Plains.

More than two hundred years of continuous suppression by the Qing Dynasty and the rule of ignorant people have completely broken the backbone of the martial spirit. After that, Zhu Xia paid a huge price to be reborn from the ashes.

Zijue didn't want Zhu Xia to experience such a history again, so the court had always respected the martial spirit.
