Chastity Layman

  Chapter 651 Since ancient times

   Gifts also brought misfortune, Su Wo Cangma Lu and others didn't expect that, they specially picked a noble-born and beautiful Yamato beauty to give to Qin Lang, and in the end they even sent out a threat of war.

  The Japanese envoys couldn't help but turn pale and sweat.

Before coming to the Central Plains, although they had read Chinese books and learned Chinese, they didn’t know much about the Tang Dynasty on the other side of the sea. I think that the Central Plains is actually nothing special.

This time, when I was ordered to go on a mission, I took what I thought was the most advanced ship in the world, followed the routes left by the previous missions, and experienced many dangerous voyages at sea. Only then did I realize that Yamato is far away from the Central Plains, far from being separated from the Three Kingdoms. Han is so close.

  After landing in Yangzhou, I was immediately shocked by the extremely prosperous and prosperous Yangzhou city. This industrial and commercial center in the southeast of the Tang Dynasty was one of the wealthiest cities in the Tang Dynasty at this time. It is also the gathering center of salt merchants, the distribution center of Huai salt in the Tang Dynasty, and an important port, especially because it is located on the Yangtze River, the Grand Canal and the sea, making Yangzhou the most important water transport terminal.

  Due to the development of maritime silk road trade in recent years, this area has also become an important processing area for maritime trade and a famous weaving center.

Not to mention anything else, the population size of just over 100,000 households has already frightened the Japanese mission, and on the bustling wharf, there are thousands of stone ships everywhere, and there are even super large ships that sail in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which can carry tens of thousands of people. stone grain.

  The warships of the Tang Dynasty even have five floors and can carry thousands of people.

  All of these shocked them deeply, and made them feel for the first time that they didn't know enough about the Central Plains in the past. From Yangzhou along the Grand Canal to Bianzhou, they were stunned to see the prosperity and prosperity on both sides of the canal. After arriving in Luoyang, I was even more amazed that Luoyang City was more brilliant than Yangzhou.

   Only after entering Chang'an did they realize what a majestic and majestic city is, and the majesty of the Tai Chi Palace made them feel like they were cast down.

   But they also remember their mission.

  Being left out in the Golden Palace, she ran to find a way to find a young favored minister to send a beauty to find a way, but unexpectedly, there was a problem.

  Soga Kuramaro thought for a while, then changed his tune, "I am Yamato..."

   "Stop!" Qin Lang waved his hand and interrupted him again, "Little Daoyi dares to call himself big? Yelang is arrogant? Don't you want to leave a laughing stock of Japanese arrogance in the history books?"

   "Only I, the Great Tang Dynasty of the Central Plains, can be called great, and the rest are not worthy!"

These domineering words made the Japanese envoys feel as if they were constipated. The Ministry of Objects wanted to fight for braids, but Su Wo Cangmalu quickly changed his words, "My country and I respect Datang very much, and we have great respect for Wei. Don't dare to be disrespectful, if Duke Wei doesn't like this woman, we can exchange it with other gifts."

   Saying that, Suga Kuramaro hurriedly took out another gift slip that he had prepared.

  Zhang Chao stepped forward to take it, and read it aloud, "One hundred taels of gold, ten catties of silver."

"Hey, that's it? Are you asking for help? Are you willing to sell such a small thing?" Zhang Chao threw the gift list back in disdain, "Do you know how much our Duke Wei gave to the queen a few days ago? ? One million pennies, not one million pennies! Even this little gold and silver of yours is not enough for one thousand pennies!"

  The Japanese envoys were shocked again.

  For such a large gift, Duke Wei actually dislikes it so much?

  They dare not imagine how amazing a gift of a million dollars is.

Qin Lang waved his hand at this time, "Okay, Wen Yuan, you step back. You said that I seem to be greedy for gifts from the Japanese. I am the prime minister of the imperial court. How could I ask for bribes from the Tibetan country? This scary beauty, you bring Go back and keep it for yourself, but for this little gold and silver, you can save it and buy some good things from my Tang Dynasty, if you have something to say, just say it, you don’t need it!"

  Seeing Qin Lang's change of attitude, the Japanese envoys heaved a sigh of relief. They were really out of breath just now.

Su Wo Cangma Lu sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and then said, "Silla is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but Silla attacked us rudely, and the country and I took over the territory. Our country begged the Tang Dynasty to uphold justice and ordered Silla to stop. Act disrespectfully, and return the occupied land to me and Guoren, and pay compensation and apologize."

  Qin Lang laughed twice.

   "But the king of Silla sent an envoy to send a letter of credence early on, saying that the Wa country started the war first, and that Naxiang was the old place of Jinhan."

Su Wo couldn't help interjecting, "Benhan crossed the sea to attack me and the country's Yematai tribe, but was defeated by Yematai. Afterwards, Yematai crossed the sea to fight back and wiped out Bianhan, but Chenhan took the opportunity to seize the Bianhan tribe. Han had a large amount of land. Afterwards, Bian Han perished, and the various states became the vassals of our country..."

He argued loudly, saying that Bianhan first attacked the Yamatai tribe of Japan, and later crossed the sea to fight back for Yamatai, and destroyed Bianhan. However, Silla took advantage of the fire and robbed it. Because of Silla's interference, Bianhan was divided into six. The Six Gaya Alliance was formed.

   And Silla and Yamatai each occupied part of the land of Bianhan.

  After that, Yamatai conquered Liujia and supported the establishment of Renna Kingdom, but later Silla robbed Renna of many cities and supported Garo Kingdom to break away from Renna.

  Of course Qin Lang would not listen to this side of the story.

  In fact, regarding Bianhan, Gaya, Renna, and Gara, not only Silla and Wa have their own different records, but even here in the Central Plains, there have always been historical records.

  Qin Lang asked Zhang Chao to find the Book of Later Han and Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms.

"Do you know what this is? The history books of my Central Plains Dynasty accurately record the history in black and white. In the two official histories, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the History of the Three Kingdoms, it is clearly recorded that Chen Han was a refugee from Qin, so he was called Qin." Han. Later, he called himself Chen Han, but he was actually a Chinese who emigrated from the Central Plains.”

"The people of Qin escaped from service and went out of the fortress. Chen Han cut off the eastern border and lived there. They were divided into six villages, called Yangshan, Gaoxu, Dashu, Zhenzhi, Jiali, and Minghuo, each with a village head. Han Dynasty Xuandi Shenjue four years, Park Hyeok lived in the world, with the honor of the six tribes, that is, the throne, the name of the founding of the country was Xu Luofa, built a golden city to live in, and later generations renamed it Silla."

Qin Lang talked eloquently, but he was more ferocious than Su Wo Cangmalu. He directly said that the Silla Kingdom was originally a Chinese people who escaped from the army during the Qin Dynasty. They moved to the peninsula. At first, there were six villages, and later developed into six tribes. Later, Xu Luo Faguo was established, which was later renamed Silla.

"As for Jialuo, there are also detailed records in my history books of the Central Plains. It is said that there were also Jialuo, also of the Han nationality. First, there were eight people from the Jintian clan. They moved from Juxian County, China, to the west of Chenhan. Ju, a descendant of eight people, lived separately in Bianhan. At that time, Bianhan had nine kings, each of whom ruled his people, and lived separately in the mountains and fields. They were all respected as kings. The name was Jialuo. It was also in the eighteenth year of Guangwu Jianwu in Han Dynasty. Today Gimhae County."

  Compared to the incomplete details of Silla and Wa, Qin Lang has historical records in black and white to prove that there are time, place, origin and records, which are clear.

Not only is Jialuo, which Silla and Japan are competing for now, originally moved from Ju County in Shandong, eight people from the Jintian clan multiplied there, and established Jialuo Kingdom by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and even the location is recorded. in detail.

  Even the Silla Kingdom was established by the Qin people who escaped from the fortress during the Qin Dynasty.

   "Xiao Daocheng established the Southern Dynasty Qi, King Jialuo sent envoys to the dynasty, and Southern Qi granted King Jialuo the general of the auxiliary country and King Jialuo."

  Qin Lang put all these historical materials in front of him, so that Su Wo Cangmalu and others could not refute them. After all, although there are many legends about the Japanese, there are too few historical records. Their occupation of Renna was done by the Yamatai tribe, and there is no written record at all.

  Compared to the disputes between Silla Baekje and Waguo over Imna and Garo, in fact, the Central Plains has indeed been clearly recorded, because all the regimes on the peninsula made pilgrimages to the Central Plains during this period, so some historians specifically recorded these vassal states.

  At the end of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, unlike Anluo and other pro-Japanese alliances centered on Jinguan, Jialuo officially separated from Renna and formed the Dagaya Alliance centered on him. In the early years of the Southern Dynasties, Baekje was defeated by Goguryeo and began to move southward. In order to make up for the lost territory in the north, Baekje captured the four counties of Imna in the south, and then Obita and other places.

  The Dagaya Alliance therefore turned against Baekje and Wa, and turned closer to Silla.

  In the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, Imna was encroached by the increasingly powerful Silla. At this time, the Wa Kingdom, which roughly unified the local area, tried to unite with Baekje to maintain its own power in Imna, but it was still difficult to stop Silla's gradual encroachment.

  The Gaya Alliance headed by Gallo has also been compressed and weakened.

Over the past few decades, Wa Kingdom and Silla have fought for Renna several times. The two sides have won and lost each other, but after all, Renna is on the edge of Silla, while Wa Kingdom is on the other side of the sea. In the battle, the Wa country was very strenuous.

Jia Luo has been stubbornly resisting the Wa Kingdom, which made the power of the Wa Kingdom on the peninsula worse by the day. During the period of Empress Tuigu, due to the transformation of Prince Shotoku, the power of the Wa Kingdom court was greatly increased. Under the impetus of Prince Shotoku, Wa launched a counterattack against Ren Na, regained a lot of lost ground, and snatched five cities in Silla.

   It’s just that at this time, in fact, Ren Na has already existed in name only, and has been annexed by Silla for decades. Wa Kingdom is unwilling to give up, and counterattacks again and again, but it is only struggling to support it.

Silla, Baekje, and Wa Kingdom have been competing for the Imna area, the hometown of Byeonhan, for hundreds of years. Especially for Wa Kingdom, the loss of Imna means that Wa Kingdom has been trying to cross the strait for hundreds of years. The dream of entering the mainland is shattered, so any promising king is unwilling to give up Renna.

   It's just that Renna is basically in the hands of Silla now, and the counterattack launched by Wa Kingdom under the auspices of Prince Shotoku only recaptured five cities and retained one stronghold.

   And Jia Luo has been away for a long time.

"Renna and Jialuo were originally established by the Han Chinese from Ju County in the Central Plains. Silla was also originally established by the Chinese Qin people who fled from service. Now Renna no longer exists and has been merged into the Silla Kingdom. Jialuo itself During the Qi Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, he was self-reliant, attached to the Central Plains, and became a vassal of the Central Plains. Although it was swallowed up by the Three Kingdoms, but now that the descendants of the Jialuo royal family came to the dynasty, they were still recognized by my Datang. I also have the responsibility to help Jialuo restore the country and re-establish it." Qin Lang warned the Japanese envoy, "There is no one in the world, so if the Japanese country wants to send troops to Silla, it is an invasion of the Tang dynasty."

   "If Wa is against Silla, it is also against Tang!"

Qin Lang clapped a few history books in his hand, the Later Han Dynasty, the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, etc., "Since ancient times, there have been legal principles to rely on. If the Japanese country is arrogant and arrogant, and dares to invade our Tang Dynasty, it will be punished even if it is far away. Don't say it is unpredictable! "

Su Wo Cangmalu's face was extremely ugly, and his face was as sinking as water. He never expected that this young favorite of the Tang Dynasty would know more about Ren Na and Jia Luo than him, even though he refused to accept it in his heart. Admit these historical records, but people did come up with evidence, but they only have legends passed down by word of mouth.

  The public is right to say that the public is right, and the mother-in-law is right to say that the mother-in-law is right, but the crux of the problem is that Datang is not only self-righteous, they are also so powerful that the Wa Kingdom dare not listen!
