Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 932 Survival Wisdom

Japan, across the water from Lu Qi.

At the end of this year, the land of the Central Plains is full of joy and laughter, while the war between the kings and kings of Japan is in progress.

The so-called big and small kings refer to Chongde and his father or brother Toba!

In the past 16 years of Hongwu, Chongde, supported by Lu Qi, although the popularity has plummeted and the basic market is pitiful, but in any country in the world, the survival of the people there is the first.

In order to get enough food to fill their stomachs and feed their families, one after another Japanese farmers took to the battlefield with the weapons produced by Lu Qi and the banner of Chongde.

In this civil war, speaking only of the balance of power within Japan, Toba had an absolute advantage.Even though Toba can no longer control the entire Japan, the mines that Lu Qi took away from him earlier are not only like nails in Japan, but also invisible knives that cut open the entire Japan.

It's just a fierce operation after Chongde's "independence", but Toba has made a new improvement.

It is understandable that he proclaimed himself a vassal to Lu Qi, and even sold the mines within the territory to Lu Qi in a big way, which is understandable.This is not the case throughout Japan, from the central government to the local governments.However, the Chongde regime was under the influence of Lu Qi from the military to the law, from the civil affairs to the internal affairs. It even publicly abolished the empress and married a woman from the Zhao family as the new empress. Can not agree.

What's more important is that Chongtoku actually wielded a machete and slashed at the samurai class, and at the same time used scissors to repair the nobles like bonsai. This is completely different from "Japan".

Japan's samurai class has been formed for more than 200 years. Although it is deeply rooted, it has actually been recognized by Japanese society.Although the remaining aristocratic families are two different groups, they are all truly privileged classes, and the two have long been combined.

Nowadays, among the aristocratic families of all sizes in Japan, who has no samurai under their name?That is already a symbol of force.More than 200 years have passed since some local lords began to establish private armed forces to defend themselves and use them to expand their power. This armed force has gradually matured into an institutionalized professional military organization and has become Japan's privileged ruling class.

In this way, more than [-]% of the samurai in the whole country gathered under the banner of Toba.Pro-Toba, at least in name.

If you want to attack a certain privileged class, how can you not suffer backlash?

Is this a change?However, looking at those reforms in history, how many people got better?
Even in the period of industrial civilization seven or eight hundred years later, in Japan, Toshimichi Okubo, who slashed at the privilege of samurai, also died at the hands of assassins.

But is there any way for Chongde to turn back?
If he wanted to kill him, he had no choice but to kill himself by disembowelling him.And if he wanted to live, he could only follow Lu Qi's wishes and continue this war - even if he knew that the price of doing so would be the destruction of the entire Japan.

The 16th year of Hongwu was a turning point in Japanese history.Chongde, who had been on the defensive all along before—Lu Qijun helped him a wave, but after taking the mines from both sides, those Qi troops withdrew in name, and Lu Qian still had to face.When Chongde started fighting with his own father, the territory quickly shrank by more than half, leaving roughly only a small stretch of North Road near the East China Sea.

Toba didn't dare to really kill Chongde. The latter ran away to Sado Island in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qian looked at the map and felt that the northern route was similar to Uesugi Kenshin's territory in the later Japs games, and the names seemed a bit familiar, such as Echigo and Echichu.

Chongde went all the way to the dark, without the support of domestic forces in Japan, and even some of his subordinates left him, but this does not mean that the path he took was wrong.

This year, he was well trained by Lu Qi's army. The Chongde army, which is mainly composed of civilians, defeated the Toba army with less in the battle of Wakasa, and then successfully recovered Echizen. Noto, who had been cut off from land contact for more than a year China has resumed land transportation, which can be said to be a rare highlight moment for the Chongde Army in recent years.Although if Chongde sends an order to Nengdeng country, he will only go overland if he has a brain hole.

The Beilu Road area is close to the sea, and waterway is the most convenient way of contact.But this does not prevent the Chongde regime from bragging about this rare victory over and over again.

In fact, when Shi Wenbin, the new head of Haidong, arrived at Sado Island, the Chongde regime had just received new news from Lu Qi. And the personal gains of the soldiers who participated in the war.

This information was reported by the "News" in the form of special topics.

From the limited military size of the Eastern Route Army to the huge results it has achieved in Sena, from the total harvest of the entire army to the individual income of the soldiers, it is a situation that makes everyone in the Chongde regime jealous. numbers.

The great victory of the Wakasa Kingdom they achieved is not worth mentioning in front of the Eastern Route Army in the Battle of Northern Tianzhu.The income in units of tens of millions of silver dollars makes the entire Chongde regime look extremely poor.

In this way, Shi Wenbin saw that the Chongde regime had a complex mentality toward Lu Qi and Qi Jun, which was a mixture of envy, doubt, fear, and enthusiasm.This kind of mood is very complicated. It is mixed with the fear of Lu Qi among the people within the Chongde regime and the envy of the Qi army's combat effectiveness. Of course, it also contains some people who completely fall in love with Lu Qi and fervently hope that Lu Qi will succeed more. The mentality of intervening in the Chongde regime and providing more and greater help to it, the latter is especially represented by Tadashi Fujiwara.

Fujiwara Tadashi is Guan Bai of the Chongde regime, a person Shi Wenbin focused on getting to know before he set off for Japan, and a person who knows how to choose.He is a relative of Chongde, how can this relationship be counted?

Tsutoku's mother's father, his maternal grandfather, Fujiwara Nagamine, was a loyal clan brother.

This is already a long, long relationship. You must know that the faithful daughter is Toba's second wife.Toba is his son-in-law!

But Tadashi Fujiwara stood on the opposite side of Toba.

On the surface, this is more due to the dispute between his two sons.The loyal eldest son, Fujiwara Tadamichi, is a fan of Toba, but what faithful loves most is the second son, Fujiwara Yoricaga, who is very close to Chongde.However, Fujiwara Tadatsu still doesn't like this second brother very much. Lai Changke is 24 years younger than Tadatsu, and logically there is no threat to Fujiwara Tadatsu.It's just that the rules in Japan are very strange. Lai Changxu was twelve years old, and when he was ten years old, he took Yuanfu.Stepping into the official career too early, and under the care of his own father, the official position was promoted very quickly, which naturally made the old brother feel threatened by a sharp edge.In addition, although he himself is proficient in Song Confucianism and Sinology, he has not learned the slightest bit of Confucian moderation. He has a harsh personality, treats people harshly, and refuses to compromise.

The conflict that broke out between the two sons, as well as the conflict between Toba and Chongde, made Fujiwara Tadada understand that he had to make a choice.As a matter of course, he sided with the second son to support the Chongde regime.

This is not just out of love for your son, but also to preserve the family and not put all your eggs in one basket.Moreover, Fujiwara Tadamichi was very important in front of Toba, but Fujiwara Yorinaga was still young. Even though he was a close minister of Shutoku, he could not dominate the "government" on the surface.In this way, if Fujiwara faithfully joins the side of his second son, wouldn't it be logical for him to become the 'government' of the Commander-in-Chief Tsutoku regime?
Dividing the entire family into two, but each side can become the "Guan Bai" with one person under one person and above ten thousand people, this is Fujiwara's faithful decision!
