The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 423: Giving to the Japanese

In the second year of Yuanding, in July of Xia, a simple fleet of ships landed from the southeast, and then headed to Chang'an from Guandao.

It was already the end of July when we arrived in Chang'an.

After entering Chang'an, this group of envoys in simple clothes knew what prosperity was and what disparity was.

Their country now relies on growing food and fishing for a living. Their knowledge of architecture is still very rudimentary, and their medical technology is almost zero, let alone iron smelting and other technologies.

According to Da Han's analysis of this group of envoys, they should belong to the Shang Dynasty period, or even earlier.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty naturally had no idea about such a backward small pirate country. The other party paid homage to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty readily agreed and gave the other party the country name "Japanese".

In this way, this small country on an island in the East China Sea finally has a country name.

The envoys of the Japanese state discussed with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty the content of trade between the two countries, and even learned the techniques of growing crops from the Han Dynasty.

They also asked the Han to teach them writing, give them books and so on.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty agreed to all the requests, mainly because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so excited that foreigners came to worship him. This was undoubtedly a manifestation of his divine power. No emperor in ancient times had done this.

Although Weining wanted to dissuade him, he still couldn't bear to disturb the elegance of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Today's Japanese slaves have just started, and it will be okay to let them develop for hundreds of years. Moreover, there are a large amount of gold and silver reserves on the Japanese island. Now a big man can just take anything and fool them into paying.

Directly destroying the country is morally untenable, so let's suck their blood dry first.

The group of envoys from the Japanese Kingdom happily lived in the Han embassy, ​​and they were extremely excited. They had never seen such a good house before, and they were salivating looking at all the things in the embassy.

Wei Ning found Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said to him: "Father, can we send some people to this Japanese country?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked in confusion: "What are you sending people to do? To support them?"

Wei Ning smiled and said: "First send troops to station, nominally ensuring their safety."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment, and seemed to know what Wei Ning meant, and said: "Do you plan to completely control them in the future?"

"If our national strength is weak in the future, what is the use of stationing troops?"

Wei Ning said: "The military expenditures for this group of troops are naturally paid for by the other party, which can ease our military expenditures."

"We can also completely assimilate the Japanese culture."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked in confusion: "What's the use of this?"

Very useful.

In later generations, they will not be able to get rid of this history and will still be a branch of our Han people.

Cultural assimilation can also cultivate their etiquette and integrity.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate so much. He nodded and said: "It's okay, it's up to you."

Before Wei Ning finished speaking, he smiled and said: "It would be best if we could send officials from the Han Dynasty to rule them."

"what?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned and thought to himself, what is the difference between this and destroying the country? It's just a different way of saying it, right?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked: "Can they agree?"

Weining will naturally not worry about this. The Japanese slave country is still very poor and backward. We sent officials in the past to help them rule and develop the country.

They will not realize this danger now, and it will be too late when they realize it later. Although the Japanese country is still a country in name at that time, it is actually a county of our Han Dynasty.

The administrative power is in our hands, the military power is in our hands, and the economy is in their own hands, which means that this country is within our control.

Wei Ning said: "My son will send someone to talk. If they agree, we will implement it accordingly. How about it?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not care at all about Japan, a small country, and he was not even as concerned as South Vietnam.

He waved his hand and said to Weining: "Okay, you can talk about it yourself. You can do whatever you want."

"Remember, don't hurt my great Han Dynasty or do anything disgraceful." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cared about his reputation and did not want to get the reputation of bullying a small country.

Wei Ning smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, I'm sure."

"Ah."

After leaving Weiyang Palace, Wei Ning summoned Huo Guang. It was best to leave this kind of matter to Huo Guang.

Huo Guang had already governed South Vietnam in southern Xinjiang, so it was no problem to talk to the Japanese now.

Wei Ning told Huo Guang: "The purpose is to arrange our military power and our administrative power."

"As for how to talk about it, you decide for yourself."

Huo Guang nodded and said, "Okay!"

This is not a problem for Huo Guang. Isn't it just deceiving the Japanese? He's very good at it.

By the time Huo Guang arrived at the embassy, ​​he had already finished his thinking.

The Japanese envoys were very happy to see the Han officials and greeted Huo Guang in blunt Chinese.

Huo Guang was also very enthusiastic. He said, "Everyone, I wonder if your country is often in war?"

Naturally, all parties in the Japanese country are at war now. It was like this in the early days of the country, and Huo Guang naturally knew it.

The Japanese envoy nodded heavily.

Huo Guang said: "I have a way, but..."

This group of Japanese slaves also understood the ways of the world and immediately gave Huo Guang some gold.

Huo Guang said: "I can ask our emperor to send troops to station in your country to protect your people."

The Japanese slave envoys were very excited. This Han Dynasty official was really a good man! He actually thinks about us so much.

Huo Guang said: "But you have to pay for the military expenses of these soldiers."

The Japanese envoy nodded hurriedly!

How could they not be happy after getting such a big bargain? How could they not be happy?

Isn't it just to pay some money? They have to pay money to hire slaves, and people who come to help naturally have to pay money.

Huo Guang nodded and continued: "As for the problem of chaotic governance in your country, it is actually easy to solve."

Huo Guang whetted their appetites completely. He was so proficient in negotiation that he could fool people from southern Xinjiang. Isn't it easy to fool these uncivilized East China Sea barbarians?
"We can send officials to help you manage."

"We big guys will pay for this ourselves, you don't need to pay for it."

Good guy! What a great guy!

Han people are so kind! They really help us!
The Japanese envoy was very excited.

Huo Guang said: "If there are no problems, these contracts will be signed."

The Japanese envoys signed the contract immediately without even thinking about it.

They themselves didn't expect that they would sign such a treaty that was so humiliating and humiliating to the country, but it didn't matter, they would be Han's own vassal country from now on!
After Huo Guang left, this group of Japanese people were still excitedly discussing how kind the officials of the Han Dynasty were. They had never seen such a kind country.

After Huo Guang handed the signed treaty to Wei Ning, Wei Ning was also surprised: "So fast?"

Huo Guang took out another gold and handed it to Wei Ning, saying, "They even thanked me."

Weining: "..."
