Countless warships were again sailing away from Japan to the Han Dynasty. Since the conquest of Japan, the Han Dynasty had an increasing demand for ships. This so-called demand is not the demand for warships.
To transport these things from the Japanese country to the Han Dynasty, a huge number of warships were indispensable. In fact, these five princes have been doing their best to mobilize ships since the beginning of the war against Japan.
Moreover, it is not only ships that can be used for navigation that are mobilized, but ships of all sizes.
Even if most ships do not have the possibility of operating at sea, as long as they are ships, it is enough. At worst, after unloading the cargo in Xuzhou, these small ships will be transported to various princes, and those ships that can operate at sea This saves a large part of the voyage. After saving this time, we can naturally make more trips back and forth.
And this time, in addition to the old ones, among the ships heading to the Han Dynasty, there were also prisoners or surrendered generals from the Japanese country this time.
On the side of the Jin army alone, the surrendered generals include the Nizi clan, the Hojo clan and the Asai clan. As well as the retainers of the Asai clan such as Isono Umasa, Onoki Kunishige, Nomura Sadamoto, Mitamura Shutoshi, and even the surrendered generals of the Nizi clan and the Hojo clan.
There are also girls such as Saito Kaicho, Oda Ichi, Kaibihime, Kyogoku Ryuko, Tachibana Chiyo, Maeda Matsu and other girls.
Of these women, almost no one is a vase. There are virtuous wives like Saito Guiche, and there are also women like Kaibi and Tachibana Chiyo who are not inferior to men.
Tachibana Chiyo is the only daughter of Tachibana Michyuki. This Tachibana Chiyo was beautiful since she was a child. She has fair skin and bright big eyes, so she was praised as "Chizen's White Plum". It is rumored that Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who loves beautiful women, wanted to Women who are involved.
Chiyo Tachibana also possesses the same dignity as her father, Doyuki. When she was young, she was intimidated by boys of the same age. As she grew up year by year, she had a very high temperament, so she was praised as the "White Merciful Guanyin".
At the age of 12, she recruited women and girls in the city and organized a female iron artillery team to guard her. She began her legendary life of fighting. She was a strategic beauty in the troubled times of Japan.
Kaihime was born in the Ninja Castle of Musashi Province. She is known as the most beautiful woman in the East Kingdom and the war beauty of the East Kingdom. She is considered to be an aristocratic lady with excellent military skills and martial arts.
After surrendering to Toyotomi Hideyoshi with his father, he and his father suppressed local rebellions many times. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi learned about his deeds, he was received. Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't help himself when he saw Kafihime, so he took Kafihime into his side chamber. After the demise of the Toyotomi clan, she escaped with Toyotomi Hideyori's daughter and later became a nun.
The best women of the Japanese country had to be sent to unknown distant places before. Their future may still be glory and wealth, but it may also be miserable.
Other important Japanese figures captured by the Jin Kingdom are also here, such as Uesugi Kenshin, one of the top daimyo of the Japanese Kingdom, and Tachibana Michizuki, the most famous general of the Japanese Kingdom.
For example, there are a series of Japanese generals such as Yubu Weixin, Toshiki Renzhen, Andong Jiachada, Takano Daisen and so on.
What Bai Qi wants to do next is not suitable for these people to stay here. Even those who had surrendered to the Han army were still Japanese people. After seeing what Bai Qi was going to do next, they couldn't predict what trouble would happen.
Moreover, not only the Japanese generals who surrendered or were captured by the Jin army, but also the Japanese generals captured or surrendered by the other four princes were also sent back to the Han Dynasty this time.
Of course, it was impossible for Bai Qi to tell the other princes so quickly what he was going to do next.
However, most of the Japanese people who surrendered to them or captured them had a good reputation in the Japanese country. If they continued to stay, it would be a hidden danger. After grasping this, with Chen Ping's words, it was not difficult to hint to the princes. The troops sent these people back to the Han Dynasty for transformation first.
After these people were sent away, the first order issued by Bai Qi caused quite a shock in the Japanese country. Even when Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Sanada Nobushige, who were hiding in an unknown ravine, heard about this order, they almost rushed out to cause trouble for the big man again.
Although these people escaped, the Han side was not in a hurry to pursue them. No one really thought that the Han side had strong control over the Japanese country. It was not easy to find these people!
Secondly, even if he doesn't take the initiative to find them, Bai Qi will naturally cut off the roots of these people. Once the foundation is broken, even if these people are still lingering, they will not be able to make any waves.
The order issued by Bai Qi was one of the orders in the imperial edict left by Li Xiang. It was also the first thing Bai Qi had to do next, which was to burn books and excise documents.
If we cut off any records related to Japanese writing, kill as many intellectuals as possible in the Japanese country, and kill anyone in the Japanese country who can practice writing and hyphenation, then once the successors of the older generation die, it means that a cultural rupture.
For Li Xiang to do this, to put it bluntly, he wanted to fundamentally kill the Japanese culture and cut off the possibility of its continued existence.
How could a far-sighted figure like Toyotomi Hideyoshi not be worried after hearing this news! If the Japanese nation had cut off its own culture, who could imagine what the Japanese nation would become?
If even the cultural inheritance is cut off, then the Japanese country will have almost no chance of turning over.
In fact, burning books and writings is just Wang Yu's first step. After that, some people from defeated forces or their aristocratic families, some of them may be spared by Li Xiang. , kill all these people, but it is better to keep some people and let them develop their last remaining value.
If these people are thrown into the Japanese country, they can naturally spread the Central Plains culture in the Japanese country. Then after ten generations, these people will, in a sense, truly become Han people and no longer Japanese.
In terms of cultural integration, Han culture has always been second to none. The most typical example is the invasion of the Central Plains by ancient Chinese nomads. After several generations, they were basically assimilated.
For example, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty fully Sinicized, the Liao Kingdom established the Nanyuan King, and the Jin Kingdom took control of the Central Plains and died a few generations later. Including the subsequent Yuan and Qing dynasties, all were assimilated without exception.
Nowadays, Li Xiang's method towards the Japanese country is exactly the same, a hard knife combined with a soft knife of culture.
"Ding, Li Xiang and Bai Qi achieved great achievements and burned books and essays..."
