The Japanese country and Pingchengjing should now be called Yan Kingdom and Dongning City.
The name Dongning was given by Murong Nobunaga. It seems to be slightly related to Chang'an in the west. It also shows that Murong Nobunaga intended to move the capital from Seoul, North Korea, to Dongning, North Korea.
Murong Nobunaga still doesn't know that his mother Yannai, the third wife, is coming to Yan State. He is still busy keeping Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Yanjin here.
There is no way, the Yan Kingdom is in great need of talents now. Although Murong Nobunaga promulgated the Land Acquisition Determination Law and the Land Acre Taxation Law, it has been widely supported in the Kinai area and Owari, Ise, Mikawa and other prefectures adjacent to Kinai.
However, in the counties further away, the people below did not know a word of Chinese characters and did not understand the language of the king. Their understanding of the moral policies promulgated by the imperial court was very limited. Many people were even under the influence of local tyrants and were thrown away for fear of being killed. Fleeing everywhere.
When entering Dongning City, Murong Nobunaga killed all the Japanese court officials from top to bottom, so now he can only rely on his own administrative system and cannot borrow the original Japanese system.
Therefore, relying on powerful people to implement military control is currently the most appropriate choice.
Especially in Guandong, the current Guandong Plain is still barren.
Frequent floods, seawater intrusion, soil acidification, etc. require Murong Nobunaga to devote great efforts to development.
So in the northeastern part of Kanto, where the two prefectures of Mutsu and Dewa had to face the Eni people and the people of the Kanto Armed Development Corps with strong folk customs, Murong Nobunaga was bound to be unable to take care of both.
What's more, Murong Nobunaga cannot stay in Asahi and Penglai for a long time. North Korea is not very stable, so he needs to go there from time to time to take charge. He even has to take care of the situation in Lelang.
With so many complicated situations, even if you divide Murong Nobunaga into two halves, it may not be enough, so you must have a few powerful people who can be assured to help him solve his problems.
In his country of Yan, there are only one and a half people with this ability. Wang Jing counts as one, and Xiang Xun can only count as half.
Among them, Wang Jing is already sixty-four years old. He doesn’t know how many years he can live at such an advanced age. If you throw him into Mutsu and Deyu where the situation is so complicated, it doesn’t matter whether Wang Jing wants it or not. Even if he does, this is equivalent to When pushing someone into a pit of fire, it’s not that there is really no other way around it and you can’t do this.
As for Xiang Xun, not to mention that he was responsible for guarding Wonsan in North Korea. Given his ability, Murong Nobunaga was still a little worried about putting him in the Mutsu and Dewa Prefectures.
Only Zhao Kuangyin was both civil and military and could gather people. When he was in Sendai the month before last, he shamelessly killed 21 powerful Ezo chiefs and annexed thousands of Ezo warriors. This shows that he is a thick-faced and sinister person.
Only such people can manage Mutsu and Deyu well and continue to expand northward.
Zhao Kuangyin sighed. He only saw Murong Nobunaga's expression and his posture, and he knew that it was impossible for him to escape from the Yan Kingdom.
For many years, it was the first time that Zhao Kuangyin saw a flattering look on this favored brother's face.
You must know that his benevolent brother, his mother is the emperor's noble concubine who shares weal and woe, and his biological aunt is the empress. Although he is not the emperor's biological son, the saint is definitely better to him than his biological son.
At the same time, he married the daughter of the Mingmiao Emperor of the later dynasty, and was regarded as the leader of the next generation among the warriors in Hedong and Daibei, coupled with his invincible commanding ability in both civil and military affairs.
It can be said that his benevolent brother Murong Nobunaga has always soared above the nine heavens in his life. Let alone ordinary people, the ending point of many honorable ministers and children is just the starting point of Murong Nobunaga.
But now, this benevolent brother who was kind to Zhao Kuangyin deliberately put on a flattering appearance. If Zhao Kuangyin still didn't understand, let alone go back to become a general, he would be drowned in saliva.
Besides, Zhao Kuangyin himself couldn’t get over that hurdle in his heart!
Murong Nobunaga clapped his hands, and groups of women wearing Han-style straight trains filed in like flowers.
Zhao Kuangyin lost his mind for a moment. It was not that these women were beautiful, but the straight skirts they were wearing were really strange to Zhao Kuangyin.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Kuangyin remembered the origin of this kind of clothes.
Straight trains are no longer very popular in the Central Plains. Only some details of the jackets and some clothing still have the shadow of straight trains.
"Could this clothing be from the Han Dynasty? How come the Japanese don't wear Tang robes but wear straight skirts from the Han Dynasty?"
"Xianghaier actually knows this is Zhiju. He has been studying a lot these years!" Murong Nobunaga first smiled at Zhao Kuangyin, then walked up to a well-behaved Japanese girl, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and lifted her beautiful face , showed in the eyes of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Yanjin.
"These Japanese people are very cunning. They deliberately dug out the Han Dynasty garments from the pile of old papers, just to avoid wearing Tang clothes, and then slowly started to separate from the Central Plains culturally. Look here."
Murong Nobunaga pointed to the sleeves and hem of the straight skirt on this Japanese girl and said:
“They have already started to make small changes, and they also gave Zhiju a Wufu name to confuse the public.
I think in a few tens or hundreds of years, the straight trains of these two Han Dynasties will become their own costumes. "
"Good guy, if he is the second Goguryeo, his heart will be punished!" Zhao Yanjin frowned and cursed.
He was a little more educated than Zhao Kuangyin, and he immediately realized the sinister intentions of the Japanese.
When he said this, Zhao Kuangyin slowly tasted the taste and raised his hand in the air.
"You are indeed a saint who comes out every five hundred years. Without him, how would we know that there is such a Goguryeo growing on this island in the east of the sea.
This place is far away from the mountains and seas, and the high winds and waves are more difficult to conquer than the Daze in western Liaoning that Goguryeo relies on. Hundreds of years later, this will be a great harm to future generations! "
The three people spoke so seriously of the Japanese state, they were not only praising Zhang Yan's foresight, but also exaggerating their own achievements.
How can the destruction of an ordinary country be compared with the destruction of a serious threat like Goguryeo?
"Even if there are all kinds of small thoughts, so what? The kingdom has its own heavenly weapons and gods, and it rains down the wrath of thunder to bring order to the chaos."
Carefully, with a standard Tang tone, it came out from the mouth of this Japanese girl with a somewhat sad face.
This girl is Yuki, the daughter of Fujiwara Motokata in Nakano Yan. She is thirteen years old and can speak Tangyin fluently.
Although the Japanese state now has the motivation to separate from the Tang Dynasty and form its own characteristics, the upper and lower cultural classes and the fans of the Tang Dynasty still occupy the vast majority of the entire class. Therefore, not everyone likes this kind of localization. .
If it had been about fifty years later, Waka and Kana would have started to become mainstream, but they are not yet.
Moreover, in the Pingchengjing Massacre, not to mention the local faction among the Japanese cultural class, even the staunch Tang faction was killed, and the problem was quickly solved.
What is left now are almost 30,000 Japanese women.
Not only were they valuable reproductive resources, but all of them were proficient in Tang pronunciation and could write some Chinese characters. They were also locals. It could be said that these women were perfect matches for Murong Nobunaga's warriors.
Just like this Yuki, if you ask her if her father and brother were killed, does she feel uncomfortable? It must be very uncomfortable, but she can still get by.
And it is different from later generations of women who have greater personal autonomy and independent survival ability, so they are more independent in character and personality.
In this era, women are completely accessories to men.
They have little to no independent personal autonomy and no ability to survive independently.
It is a very rare case for a subordinate to avenge his family, avenge his relatives, and choose to die bravely when his country is destroyed and his family is destroyed.
Because this kind of power belongs to men in this era. Only men are qualified to seek revenge or die for their country. Only men are qualified to participate in this kind of competition between males.
At this time, women are not qualified.
What's more, even among men, most choose to live a mediocre life, let alone women.
And this was still in the Japanese country. Although they introduced Tang culture, they were still essentially in a slave society period.
It is very common to be extremely greedy for power and not to know etiquette and virtue. It is just a commonplace for women under power to be robbed here and there.
Therefore, Murong Nobunaga no longer kills many people. Without those so-called intellectuals jumping up and down, the rest of the Japanese are extremely docile.
Hearing what Yu Ji said, Murong Nobunaga took her hand and came to Zhao Kuangyin, "You are lucky, Yu Ji has just turned thirteen and has not yet had an adult ceremony.
Ask her to give you more sons in the future. With such a big family fortune, it won’t be enough if there are too few heirs. "
Zhao Kuangyin took a serious look and found that Youji was indeed very beautiful.
Moreover, in the current Japanese country, it is not easy to find a few beauties among a group of noble women.
This is not to say that all Japanese women are ugly, but that the aesthetics of Japanese women are very abnormal nowadays. They pay attention to a hair hanging down to the ground, eyebrows as far as dark blue, pink jade and black teeth.
Well, it sounds like except for black teeth, all the other words are good, right?
Bullshit!
The hair hanging down to the ground is not a beautiful description, but a realistic one. The noble Japanese women of the Heian period had to grow their hair until it was almost as long as their body, so that it could hang down to the ground when standing.
Eyebrows like Yuandai is a popular silk-eyebrow costume among them. Specifically, the original eyebrows are plucked, and then two false eyebrows are drawn on top of the original eyebrows.
In order to achieve the strange four eyebrow look of the original eyebrows not being very obvious but quite slender, and the fake eyebrows being very conspicuous but thick, black and short.
The powder-coated Yuzhuo, on the other hand, applied lead powder on his face desperately, making sure to apply it until it was whiter than the dead, as white as the putty used to decorate houses in later generations.
Black teeth are like cowhide. When a Japanese noble girl comes of age, the first thing she does in her coming-of-age ceremony is to dye her teeth completely black.
Imagine that a Japanese noble girl is walking towards you. She is only 1.5 meters tall, but her hair is more than 1.6 meters long and is dragging on the ground, or she is holding it in her hand like a snake.
And her face is covered with a thick layer of lead powder that is whiter than the dead. There are two dark and two bright eyebrows on it, and her cheeks are painted with perverted paper-man-like blush. She smiles at you, revealing her dark skin. the teeth of.
Well.. Anyway, when Murong Nobunaga first met, he was so disgusted that he almost took a knife to kill all the Japanese women in front of him on the street.
Even the herdsmen on the grassland couldn't stand it anymore. As a result, when Dongning (Nara) was captured, miraculously not many rape incidents occurred.
The Japanese just used their perverted aesthetics to protect their women.
That's why Murong Nobunaga said that Zhao Kuangyin was lucky, because Youji was already thirteen years old and an adult. Being an adult meant dyeing her teeth black.
This lead powder can be applied on the face, the eyebrows are pulled off, and the hair is too long, but it cannot be reversed if the teeth are stained black. As a result, because of the war, there was no time for the coming of age ceremony.
Hearing Murong Nobunaga say this, he saw Murong Nobunaga taking out all the top-quality Japanese women that he was reluctant to enjoy.
Zhao Kuangyin stood up first, then with a bang like pushing a golden mountain toppling a jade pillar, he knelt down in front of Murong Nobunaga and said loudly with emotion:
"Zhao Kuangyin had his elder brother to support him all the way, otherwise he would have died in the troubled times. Now he has his elder brother to value him so much. Xiang Hai'er is willing to help his elder brother support the Jade Dragon and subdue Xiantai."
The big stone in Murong Nobunaga's heart finally fell to the ground, and he took Zhao Kuangyin's hand and laughed.
At this time, Zhao Yanjin had already begun to choose unceremoniously among a group of Japanese Japanese girls aged 12 or 13.
After a while, Zhao Yanjin chose two stunning women and pulled them to his seat with satisfaction.
Murong Nobunaga gave his sworn brother a disgusted look, "Rokuro, don't you be afraid that Fourth Sister will scratch your face when you go back."
Zhao Yanjin chuckled and looked at Murong Nobunaga dissatisfied, "It's boring. You are so sincere to Zhao Dalang. When it comes to my younger brother, you have to use the signature of the fourth sister to choose two Japanese girls."
Zhao Yanjin married Murong Nobunaga's cousin Siniang. She was a very fierce person, and she controlled Zhao Yanjin very strictly on weekdays, so she developed the habit of eating secretly when Zhao Yanjin went out.
"If you are willing to stay in the Yan Kingdom and become a vassal, brother, I will still confide in you." Murong Nobunaga snorted coldly.
Zhao Yanjin was the emperor's sixth righteous son, and he was both civil and military. He was a talent that Zhang Shengren focused on cultivating, and a lot of people in the Zhao family were still waiting for him to succeed, so it was impossible for him to stay in the Yan Kingdom.
If Murong Nobunaga keeps him now, he can only stay for three to five years at most. He will definitely leave after the situation in Penglai Province stabilizes.
Therefore, since Zhao Yanjin is sincere, it is better to write a letter directly to the saint Ye Ye and ask him to allow Zhao Yanjin to stay for a while.
Zhao Yanjin saw that he could not get any other benefits from Murong Nobunaga, so he immediately said, "Brother, if nothing else, you have to talk to Siniang about these two beauties, I want to take them back."
Murong Nobunaga's nose twitched in anger at his shameless appearance, and he could only nodded in confusion, "Don't worry, a certain family will send a letter to Siniang.
But you have to take care of the affairs of Horai Island for your brother. You can’t just take care of Dazaifu. You need to lead the affairs of the other prefectures of Horai Island (Kyushu Island) and Hojo Island (Shikoku). "
. . . .
Murong Nobunaga above is wooing talented people, and the soldiers below are now starting to choose their own wealth.
In the east city of Dongning City, one thousand one hundred and thirty-seven manor owners from Asahi and Penglai stood on the roadside, holding up a wooden board.
The area, population, location, yield and other information of their respective estates are written on the wooden boards, waiting to be selected like cattle and horses in the East Market.
Only if they are selected by the inspection envoy can they be qualified to return to their hometown from Dongning City to save their family business.
Therefore, each one of them is really like a cow and a horse. Once they see the red-robed inspector coming to pick someone, they immediately start to sell themselves hard.
And if they are just like cattle and horses, then the tens of thousands of Japanese women in the Western Market who are proficient in Tang pronunciation and can barely read and write Chinese characters are really like cattle and horses.
These Japanese women were all lucky to survive under the butcher's knife, so they were extremely obedient.
The only bad thing is that most of them are adults. As long as the teeth are slightly higher in the past, their teeth have been stained black and it is difficult to recover.
Therefore, when the inspectors here come to select people, the first thing they do is to open their mouths to see how dark their teeth are. White ones are the most popular ones, while those with completely black teeth are difficult to select.
Hai Sanxia proudly wore a purple robe. Although he was so desperate during the battle in Osaka that he thought he would not get much merit in fighting the Japanese, the Japanese country had three million people and was much richer than North Korea.
Therefore, even if the Japanese were not beaten, King Murong still gave them a very high reward.
Wearing purple robes, Umi Sanha is not just a patrol envoy. During the battle at Mori no Miya, he killed the son of the Japanese commander Tachibana Enho, and together with five of his comrades, he scattered a brigade of Japanese soldiers (one Hundreds of people).
After that, he fought bravely in the Battle of Sendai and was selected to participate in the massacre of the twenty-one chiefs of the Ezo people.
Each one of these is a great achievement, so Hai Sanxia put on the purple robe symbolizing the earl. From now on, he will no longer be Hai Kaka, but Uncle Hai Fang.
Only the details of the reward have not yet been finalized. It has been confirmed that Umisan will be sent to Tosa Country, and there is only one baron in the entire Tosa country except Umisan.
Therefore, the territory of Umisanji is roughly equivalent to the Tosa Domain during the Tokugawa Shogunate period.
During the Tosa Domain's shogunate period, the stone height was more than 200,000, and Tosa was also relatively developed at this time.
The Waka master Nori Kanyuki, who escaped the Heijo Kyo Massacre because he died early, wrote the famous Tosa Diary in Japanese history.
Therefore, even at this time, the stone height of Tosa Kingdom was 120,000 to 30,000 koku, and the population was close to hundreds of thousands, making it a very wealthy fiefdom.
Next to Hai San Xia, Hai Er Xia performed as steadily as ever and was the most unlucky among the three brothers.
During the Battle of Osaka, where he besieged Genjingji and his son, he was shot in the thigh by the Japanese Imperial Guards armed with bamboo crossbows. He had to limp to fight the Japanese, and was finally knocked unconscious by the enemy with a hammer, waiting for him When he woke up again, the battle was over.
In the subsequent Battle of Mori-no-miya and the Battle of Heijōkyō, Hai Erxian did not get a chance to play because his body had not recovered, so he did not have much credit.
Fortunately, he performed well in the water battle that defeated Yoshiko Ono, and finally managed to get a red robe and get an inspection envoy.
It is said that he will be sealed to the country of Meinong. There are ten villages below, with an income of two to three thousand dan, and four to five thousand people under his rule.
Although he is still much worse than his brother Viscount Hai Da Yu Hai Kaka who stayed in North Korea, it can be regarded as a big upgrade in class.
Today, the two brothers went to the West Market first and then the East Market, just to pick out properties.
Therefore, although he was a little jealous that his younger brother had become an earl, Hai Erxi still had an irrepressible joy on his face.
