Southwest of Japan Island.
In a mountain range near the sea, wooden camps guard the main transportation routes between valleys.
This is the base established by the Han army in Dongping Prefecture after crossing the sea.
At this time, the Han army's marching general Zhang Tong was having routine discussions with his deputy Murong Ren and other generals.
As the lords who will entrust Japanese islands in the future, the period of time they came across the sea made them extremely happy.
First, the local Japanese were vulnerable because they were in a state of ignorance with no official system, no military system, and no writing.
When faced with the coordinated and well-organized Han army, it was like children resisting strong men.
There was little decent resistance.
Except for some offshore Japanese who are very good at swimming and occasionally attack by swimming, there are no other threats at all.
The generals gathered today for the next step of planning.
"Yesterday, His Majesty sent an order, asking us to guard these silver mines first and not to rush to the east to pursue the Japanese."
Zhang Tong said with a proud face.
"So, I have decided that each department will maintain its own defenses and find ways to contain the Japanese at the lower levels."
"The upper-level Japanese chieftains are still not allowed to be recruited."
Follow the rules set by Liu Shu.
On the Japanese island, Zhang Tong and others could recruit the lower-class Japanese men and women for their own use.
After all, it can be said that the more coolies working in mining and farming, the better.
However, the upper-level Japanese leaders and others were not allowed to be recruited.
Because the Japanese people maintained a strong clan slavery system, the leaders of various forces had great influence on the tribesmen.
What Liu Yu wanted was to turn the Japanese island into a place of enlightenment in the Central Plains, not to spread the gospel to the upper class nobles of the Japanese country.
Only a dead Japanese nobleman is a good person.
As for the Japanese who survived, they had to work as cows and horses for several lifetimes.
"General, although the output of these silver mines is very large, the share that falls into our hands is really too small."
As soon as Zhang Tong finished speaking, a general said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone else stared at Zhang Tong with burning eyes.
Zhang Tongyi took a look and immediately understood what these people meant.
The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!
He straightened his face and said solemnly.
"We have just established a foothold on the Japanese island, and we are able to achieve what we have now. It is already a gift from the emperor's grace."
"If His Majesty hadn't given us a chance, we might not even be able to stay in Lelang County anymore."
"How is it possible to come to Haidong Island to seal the territory and split the land?"
When everyone heard Zhang Tong's words, they all immediately lowered their heads in shame.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Tong did not continue to criticize the general who made the remarks.
"All you need to know is that the territorial power on this island was obtained in exchange for these gold mines and silver mountains."
"If we cannot pay tribute to His Majesty with gold and silver, how can we possibly gain a foothold here in the future with just our strength."
Although Zhang Tong's soldiers are now well prepared, the required supplies have to be replenished by sea.
If they reduce the tribute of gold and silver without authorization? Then there will definitely be a problem of cutting off supplies.
At that time, Zhang Tong and the others, who have lost their support, may slowly fall into the same backwardness as the Japanese.
Soon, Zhang Tong overcame the greedy little thoughts among his generals.
He told everyone to ensure the output of existing gold and silver mines.
The Japanese must not be allowed to destroy it.
"All Japanese who enter the mines are bound by military law. They must ensure three meals a day and no one can deduct them."
"But no one is allowed to leave at will? Anyone who escapes without authorization will be dealt with in fear of the enemy!"
After this period of observation, Zhang Tong and the others already knew.
Want to pacify ordinary Japanese people? It is actually very easy.
As long as you ensure that you have two meals a day, you can make those little Japanese people kowtow to them with moved expressions.
If it were three meals a day, it would definitely make an ordinary Japanese loyal to him with his life.
After all, Zhang Tong had heard that the small lord in charge of one side of the Japanese people only ate coarse dry rice on weekdays.
Whoever drank a bowl of rice soup while eating white rice.
That's quite an infuriating extravagance.
Want to conquer such a group of poor people? Zhang Tong is still very confident.
When all the generals were ordered to retire, Zhang Tong was about to go on his usual inspection tour.
The soldiers outside the door suddenly came in to report.
"General? Our scouts caught a Japanese envoy and asked to see the general."
Zhang Tongyi listened without raising his eyelids and waved his hand indifferently.
"Didn't I tell you before that all the Japanese envoys are missing? Just kill them."
Since Zhang Tong did not want to make peace with the Japanese, there was no need to negotiate anything.
In addition, the several waves of Japanese envoys I met before were all born with an arrogant and annoying face.
Zhang Tong simply clicked them all.
The soldiers heard the order, but did not leave as usual.
"General, this person is not a Japanese, but claims to be from Daifang County."
"Bringing people from Fangjun?" Zhang Tongzhen was confused.
As a former county guard, Zhang Tong knew that since the turmoil in the Central Plains, the situation faced by Daifang County and Lelang County has become increasingly dangerous.
At that time, many Han people fled.
Some of them fled to Liaodong, and some fled to Goguryeo.
There are even rumors of people escaping to Japan by boat.
"Yes, he claims to be from Daifang County, and he has something to ask for."
"what is his name?"
"The villain heard that several Japanese who were following him called him Ah Zhizhu. He said his name was Liu Zhi."
"Liu Zhi?"
Zhang Tong had no impression of this name at all.
However, the name of a certain master who can be mixed among the Japanese can be regarded as a leader among the Japanese.
When such a person comes to ask for a meeting, there might be some unexpected surprise.
"Bring him here." Zhang Tong said in a deep voice.
Soon, the soldiers brought Liu Azhi over.
The two Japanese accompanying them were blocked by the camp gate, and only Liu Azhi was brought in.
"My old friend Liu Zhi has met the king!"
Liu Azhi, who was tall and thin, immediately gave Zhang Tong a big gift when he saw him.
"Old friend?"
No matter what Zhang Tong thought, he didn't remember who this person was.
"The villain is originally from Jizhou. In order to avoid the blackmail by Empress Jia's gangsters, her family fled to Daifang County. I was lucky enough to meet the king once!" Liu Azhi said.
"In this case, you are really one of us Han people." Zhang Tong looked at him with great dignity.
"Yes, yes, absolutely yes." Liu Azhi nodded fiercely.
Zhang Tong had no doubt about this.
After all, the Jizhou accent in Liu Azhi's words would definitely not fool anyone.
"Since you are a Han, why do you want to be a lackey for the Japanese here?" Zhang Tong asked forcefully.
"The villain is stupid. He only saw the invasion and plunder of Goguryeo and Baekje in the past. He did not dare to stay in Daifang County for a long time. He was also afraid of disasters in Liaodong in the future, so he led his tribe to build a raft to cross over."
Liu Azhi also said helplessly.
After Zhang Tong heard this, he felt emotional in his heart.
When I was in the most difficult times in Lelang and Daifang counties, I already felt that the situation was uncontrollable and wanted to lead my tribe to escape.
However, Zhang Tong did not think about taking refuge in the Japanese country in Haidong, but wanted to go to Liaodong to seek refuge with Murong Xianbei.
From this point of view, Zhang Tong and Liu Azhi were somewhat destined.
"Okay, I understand you and will not pursue this matter further."
Zhang Tong said very generously.
"You came here today, it seems that you want to return to Wanghua?" Zhang Tong continued to ask.
"The Lord and Marquis are right, that's exactly what the villain thinks." Liu Azhi said respectfully.
"Well, okay, then you come with your tribe, and I will give you the position of a subordinate to manage the Japanese I have collected." Zhang Tong said.
This condition is already considered extremely generous by Zhang Tong.
You know, the Han army did not recruit Japanese dignitaries at all.
Zhang Tong was able to give Liu Azhi a subordinate official, which was already a great kindness.
However, Liu Azhi did not agree happily at all.
"Junhou, the villain has something that I dare not hide. I would like to ask the monarch to listen to it and allow the villain to make meritorious service." Liu Azhi said with sweat on his head.
"You deserve meritorious services for your crime? Is there anything else you haven't said?" Zhang Tong's face fell.
Liu Azhi, who had taken refuge with the Japanese, didn't say everything just now, which was really annoying.
"Your Majesty, when I led my people to the Japanese country, I knew that the Japanese people were of the most important origin, so I told a lie in order to seek temporary gain."
"What lie?"
"The villain told the Japanese king Zan and others that I am the queen of Shanyang Gong of Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the queen of the Han Dynasty..."
"Shan Yanggong? Emperor Xian?"
When Zhang Tong heard this, he was immediately speechless.
The first generation of Shanyang Gong was the Han Xian Emperor who held the Zen position.
"The villain said that he is the great-grandson of Shanyang Gong. When he saw the war in the Central Plains, he led his tribe to flee. He originally wanted to have a place in the country so that he would not become a slave of the Japanese."
Liu Azhi continued with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"But I didn't expect that those Japanese people couldn't tell the truth from the false. When they heard that it was the Han royal family, they were so happy that they immediately named me a Zhizhu."
"Almost the entire Japanese people know about this."
As an emperor who abdicated, the name of Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie was resounding enough.
"The impersonation is due to the stupidity of those Japanese people. I can help you guarantee your immunity."
Zhang Tong thought, those Japanese are really stupid.
The descendants of Shanyang Gong were all under strict supervision by the Wei and Jin dynasties. How could a great-grandson appear and lead a mighty tribe to flee across the sea?
The real descendants of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had long since died when the Xiongnu Han Kingdom ravaged the Central Plains.
Until the Xiongnu Jiehu people came to kill them, the descendants of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not get a chance to escape.
"But how do you plan to make meritorious deeds?" Zhang Tong asked.
"I thank you, my lord!" Liu Azhi was overjoyed.
"Do you know, sir, that the Japanese have been mining gold and silver mines here for decades?"
"I know." Zhang Tong nodded.
"The Japanese rarely trade with foreign countries. Do you know where the gold and silver accumulated over the past few decades have gone?"
When Zhang Tongyi heard this, his eyes suddenly opened like bells!
"Gold and silver accumulated over decades?"
The little baby is really having a hard time. Finally he is discharged from the hospital and goes home. He is recovering and updating again.
