Chapter 142: The Kingdom of Wa (1) "Hmph, a small country, a mere slave, dare to call the emperor in vain?"
Honda Kyoliang said the name of the emperor, but also a face of anger, in his eyes only the Tang Emperor can be called the emperor, even the so-called Byzantine Emperor is not worthy of this title, but what about the Wa Kingdom?
It is just a leader of the Japanese people, not only dare to call himself the emperor, but also the name of the emperor who is still above the emperor, which is really a great rebellion and a great crime.
"Don't worry, this time I'll make them understand how terrible the consequences of overstepping the rules are."
Speaking of the emperor, Qin Huaiyu's eyes also flashed a trace of murderous intention, in the myths and legends of China, there are many people who are called this name, but each of them is a legendary god, the country is a small country, the land is not more than a thousand miles, the people's wisdom is not open, the people are chaotic, the clothes are not covered, the food is not hungry, the leader of Tiemu can not govern the country and the people internally, so that the people have no worries about food and clothing, and can not open up the territory and make contributions to the outside world, how can such an incompetent person dare to call himself the emperor * emperor?
It's really shameless, Datang didn't pay attention to you before, and you still snorted, this time when Pontus Governor passes, I must teach you to be a new person, so that you can try what it is like to be dominated by Datang soldiers.
"Let's not talk about that, let's go according to plan."
"Yes."
Kyora Honda immediately responded.
The plan has been formulated a long time ago, and all aspects have been taken into account, Qin Huaiyu, as the commander, has only made a little supplement and made a little fine-tuning in it, and the theme direction is still carefully formulated by the think tank under Li Zhen. …… The kingdom of the Wa Kingdom is not always fixed, unlike Huaxia, although there are many cities, but the main capitals are only a few, and the Wa Kingdom is different, their capital city does not have much significance for them, it completely depends on the personal preference of the Emperor of Heaven, where is the Emperor of Heaven, where is the capital, this Emperor may be here, then this is the capital, and the next Emperor of Heaven and Emperor likes to live there, the capital may appear there, but even so, their capital is not completely nowhere to be found, no matter what, all of which are basically within a specific area, that is, within the Edo Plain.
At this time, the emperor of the Wa State is Emperor Hyodeok, if the history has not changed, at this time the Wa State is in the historical process of Dahua reform, and it is this innovation, the Wa State introduced a variety of advanced technologies from the Tang Dynasty, rose rapidly, and became a real civilized country, self-confidence bursting, and later Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was in power (to be exact, 663 years, that is, the third year of Gaozong Longshuo) invaded the Goguryeo Peninsula, united with Baekje to invade Silla, in an attempt to challenge the position of the Tang Dynasty here, However, it was killed by Liu Renliang in one fell swoop at the mouth of the Baijiang River (August 27 to August 28 in the third year of Longshuo), which is the famous Battle of Baijiangkou, in which thousands of warships of the Wa Kingdom were all burned, and the losses of the Tang Dynasty were only a small - you must know that the Baekje coalition army of the Wa State had 42,000 people and thousands of warships, while the Tang Dynasty had only 13,000 people, less than 200 warships, and a considerable part of them were cobbled together by Silla.
So it's not that you look down on the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty was really not qualified to be looked down upon by the Tang Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness was scummed like this, why do you deserve to be favored by us?
Even the Wa Kingdom, which has been developed in history, is not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the Wa State that has not yet obtained the technology of the Tang Dynasty?
With Li Zhen's intervention, the Wa Kingdom was no longer able to get important technology from Datang, even if it sent spies to steal, most of what they got was fur, and they got some high-tech in their eyes from Silla, but even Silla, what they got from Datang was only backward and eliminated technology, which was not worth mentioning for Datang at all.
But in any case, the influence of Datang is there, and even if the surrounding countries have not established diplomatic relations with Datang, they will gradually be affected by Datang, including the influence of housing pattern and culture.
For example, today's Wa Kingdom, although there is no Dahua reform, is gradually influenced by the Tang Dynasty culturally, and begins to consciously or unconsciously imitate the customs and improvements of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, because there is no systematic learning, the imitation is somewhat nondescript and makes people laugh.
But that was a few years ago, in recent years, as the merchants of the Tang Dynasty noticed this, it also brought some changes to the Wa Kingdom, although it was unconscious, but it was better than their previous hearsay blind man and blind horse.
At this time, the Wa Kingdom was under the reign of Emperor Kotoku, and the capital was in Namba Palace (now Osaka), and the recent Namba Palace was particularly lively, and all kinds of people came to Namba Palace, especially some young samurai.
Although it is usually more lively than other cities because of political loyalty, the recent bustle is far more than usual, and it can only be compared with the emperor's accession to the throne or major festivals.
The reason for this situation is because as early as half a year ago, news came out from the imperial palace, saying that Emperor Xiaode was interested in recruiting a new batch of samurai as guards, and among this batch of samurai, a considerable part of them would be selected from the people.
You must know that although the Wa State at this time is a feudal country, it is actually more similar to the nature of slaves, all kinds of important positions are held by nobles, civilian samurai are rarely the opportunity to get ahead, more civilian samurai are in the major order system (the order system is not a feudal country, although it brings a country, but it is actually equivalent to a province and city, is an administrative name) or some large landlords and nobles, a lifetime may only catheter an ordinary samurai, never get ahead.
And especially the position of the Emperor Guard, who can be close to the Emperor, is occupied by the teenagers from the major wealthy families, and ordinary people cannot have the opportunity to hold it.
But now Emperor Xiaode is trying his best to disagree and delegate such an opportunity to the commoners, which is tantamount to a great opportunity for those civilians who have never met talents.
You must know that there is a great possibility that the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor will meet the Emperor in person, and as long as he behaves well enough in front of the Emperor, then he can be further promoted, completely break away from the civilian class, and become an official and a nobleman that everyone envies.
