Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant
Page 860
"Executing the Japanese lord will not do us any good. Instead, it will free the local princes of Japan from the shackles of the law. After the rise of local power, it will definitely be a threat to us. Japan is so mountainous that we can't send troops everywhere."
Han Shizhong was greatly surprised, he did not expect Liu Chu to have such a thorough understanding of the situation in Japan.
It's not because of anything else, just because Han Shizhong just received a letter written by Zhao Guan's family yesterday.
Zhao Guanjia also conducted an in-depth analysis of the situation in Japan, and the final conclusion is that it is impossible to destroy Japan in a short period of time.
The emperor of Japan is not the same as the emperor of China.
In the hearts of the Japanese, the emperor is a descendant of a god, that is, a descendant of Amaterasu.
The emperor of China also has a title called Tianzi, which means Son of Heaven.
That being the case, isn't the emperor also a descendant of a god?
That's right, the Emperor used to be.
The former co-lord of the world, Zhou Tianzi, did not rely on weapons to maintain the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Wang De. Wang De was bestowed by God, and only Zhou Tianzi had it.
In the Warring States period, there was not much Wangde left, the emperor was spurned, and the divinity was challenged.
Later Qin Shihuang swept Liuhe, he did not solve a problem, what else does the emperor have besides the highest power in the world?
This problem was not perfected until Liu Che's era. The key figure here was Dong Zhongshu, who proposed the concept of "divine right of kings".
However, the history of China was much more turbulent than that of Japan. After the decline of the Han Dynasty, the divinity of the emperor began to weaken again.
From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the eve of the Anshi Rebellion, the divinity of the Chinese emperors weakened to nothing.
By the Five Dynasties, the divinity of the Son of Heaven had completely disappeared.
So the Five Dynasties popularized such a saying: Son of Heaven, those who are strong in soldiers and horses should be the ones, and they would rather have the seeds!
(from "Old History of the Five Dynasties · Later Jin · Biographies Thirteen")
What Chen Sheng was talking about was princes and generals, not emperors.
Therefore, in this era, the emperor of the Central Plains can be overthrown at any time, as long as your force is strong enough.
This is also an important reason why Zhao officials in the past dynasties guard against generals, because the emperor's divinity is gone.
Military generals will no longer coerce the emperor to order the princes like Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao, but directly chop the emperor with big fists.
That invisible constraint has long since disappeared after the dynasties changed again and again.
The Emperor of Japan, however, was different.
Chapter 1297 Civil War in Japan ([-]rd update)
Japan is a mountainous island country, isolated from the outside world.
This doomed its development to be very slow.
The development is slow, the population is limited, the resources are limited, and the terrain is complex, so there will be no strong separatist forces in the local area.
It will not be like the Central Plains, where wars are fought almost every year. Even in the peaceful and prosperous times, bloody rivers of blood are fought with the Hu people in the north.
In troubled times, internal separatism is commonplace.
The separatist regimes in ancient China were mainly related to geography, and military groups would emerge at the geographical level.
The rise of military blocs must rely on agriculture and the economy as the foundation.
Therefore, the Guanlong Group, the Hebei Military Group, the Central Plains Military Group, the Jiangdong Military Group, and later the Huaixi Military Group all had very obvious regional characteristics.
Japan does not have it. The Fukuoka Plain, the most fertile plain, is Dazaifu. With the productivity of this era, can a Huaixi military group be raised?Or the Longyou Military Group?
Obviously not.
Since it is not possible, the emperor can sit back and relax in Kyoto that day.
It doesn't matter even if the Emperor's decree does not come out of the Kyoto Prefecture.
Before the Meiji Restoration, the emperor had never tried to control the country like the Chinese emperor did.
The emperors knew that was unrealistic, there were too many mountains and the traffic was too complicated, it was impossible.
Until the emergence of the concept of a modern country, powerful foreign enemies gave Japan a national consensus.
Of course, this is not possible in this era.
What phenomenon did this situation cause?
There has been almost no change of dynasty in Japan, the emperor has never been overthrown, and the divinity of the emperor has always been preserved in the hearts of the Japanese.
Until the man who said to let the U.S. military go back for Christmas, who was like a king, appeared.
Since the emperor's divinity has always been there, what will happen if the Song army goes to Kyoto and cuts the emperor in front of the Japanese?
It's kind of like, you go to Europe and chop Jesus up in front of the Christians.
The Europeans will definitely work hard, and the Japanese local princes will definitely use this as a reason to quickly mobilize civilians and form armies across the country in an unconventional state.
Although the combat effectiveness of these troops is very hip, they are familiar with the local terrain.
Are you Song Jun coming?
not coming?
If you don’t come, I will definitely not pay you a penny of tax. What happens after you loot the capital?continue to stay?Or do you want to search the whole country?
what?
you want to come?You want to search the whole country?
Then I will hide and fight with you in various ways. Now these soldiers under me hate you extremely, and they want to fight you desperately under the rage.
If they can't beat you, it's okay to take off a few layers of your skin, anyway, all over the country want to fuck you now.
Such a situation is not good for Song Jun.
For Zhao Ning to fight Japan, the most important thing is gold and silver, and the second most important thing is to make Japan disappear from this planet, so as to prevent the future troubles of China forever.
The secondary importance is not to say not to do it, but to think of a reasonable way to do it.
The emperor can quickly unite the whole country in a short period of time as a god.
Forcing King MacArthur's operation, he had told Zhao Ning that if he wanted to deal with Japan, he must first abolish the emperor's divinity.
The problem returned to Han Shizhong. He looked at Liu Chu and asked tentatively, "What do you think we should do?"
"Let Ping Zhongsheng go back, deal with the public minister, take power, and take over the emperor."
Han Shizhong thought for a while and said, "No."
"Why?"
"Once a samurai like Hira Tadamori takes power, he will inevitably use us to rapidly develop samurai power in Japan. Once the samurai power grows, it will be difficult to control."
Han Shizhong, who is also a soldier, knows warriors too well.
Samurai like to use violence when doing things. Once Japan is full of samurai, they will inevitably fight separately. This seems to weaken Japan's internal strength, but in fact, it will make the army stronger and stronger during the years of fighting each other.
For example, the armies of the Five Dynasties basically did not fear the Liao Kingdom.
Zhao Ning's idea is to weaken the emperor's divine status in the hearts of the Japanese, and at the same time suppress the power of the samurai class in Japan.
As long as these two points can be realized, it is completely feasible for Da Song to continue to immigrate to Japan for the future and completely eat away at Japan step by step.
If intermarriage doesn't work, there will be physical annihilation in some areas.
In short, the weakening of the emperor's divinity and the suppression of the samurai class have been achieved, and other means can be used freely.
Han Shizhong expounded his thoughts according to Zhao Guan's instructions. Liu Chu was stunned for a long time after listening, and then said: "Han Shuai is so insightful, I admire you so much!"
"It's not my commander's idea, it's the official's."
"Officials!" Liu Chu was even more surprised. He didn't expect this to be the strategy of the emperor sitting in Tokyo City.
"Then there is another way to get down." Liu Chu rolled his eyes and started talking again.
After he finished speaking, Han Shizhong thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Let Ping Zhongsheng come in to see the commander-in-chief."
Not long after, Ping Zhongsheng came.
He saluted Han Shizhong: "Foreign ministers see the angel."
"You are Ping Zhongsheng?"
"Yes."
"I heard that the Song-Japan trade was promoted by you in Japan alone."
"The foreign ministers are not talented, and they have admired the heavenly court for a long time."
Whoever believes this is stupid, Ping Zhongsheng is in business to make money, and the purpose of making money is to strengthen himself.
"Then why did the Japanese army kill my ambassador?"
"It was ordered by Tadashi Fujiwara, please allow me to go back to Kyoto to capture Tadada Fujiwara, and hand it over to the Celestial Dynasty!"
"Why should I trust you?"
"The foreign minister is absolutely loyal to Song Dynasty!"
Han Shizhong thought for a while before saying: "Okay, I want you to go back to Kyoto to capture Fujiwara Tadashi. I want to see his head and send it to the emperor to appease the emperor's anger."
Just as Ping Zhongsheng was about to leave, news suddenly came from outside.
"Han Shuai, the envoy from Kyoto is here and says he wants to see you."
"messenger?"
Hira Tadamori said, "It must have been sent by Fujiwara Tadashi."
"Since it was sent by him, the commander-in-chief didn't see him. Someone came here and cut down the messenger."
Fujiwara's loyal messenger was cut down.
When Hira Tadamori went out, he saw the hanging head, and he recognized the person, and it really was Fujiwara Tadashi.
Now he is more convinced of Han Shizhong.
On June 3000, Ping Zhongsheng led his more than [-] soldiers and horses back to Kyoto Prefecture.
At this time in Kyoto Prefecture, the power of the government has been taken back by Emperor Toba. As for Emperor Sutoku, he has long since abdicated and was placed under house arrest.
When the rich and powerful men in Kyoto heard that Ping Zhongsheng had returned, they were surprised at first.
Then I heard that he brought back thousands of soldiers and horses, and I was shocked again.
Hearing that most of the soldiers and horses he brought back were regular soldiers, he jumped up in shock.
The effective forces of Kyoto Prefecture have been mobilized almost before.
During this period of time, the Kyoto Prefecture once again mobilized forces among the people to prevent the Song army from coming to Kyoto.
But after all, time is short and there are not many people.
But in it, there is also a general who can fight well. His name is Yuan Weiyi, and his son Yuan Yichao can also fight.
However, the Genji father and son were of low background and weak foundation. At this time, the Baoyuan Rebellion had not yet occurred, and the Genji Dynasty had no chance to rise.
On June 21, Ping Zhongsheng killed the city of Kyoto in one breath.
Chapter 1298 The Emperor's Son (Part [-])
Hira Tadamori and Hei Kiyomori were famous generals at the end of the Heian period.
Although in this era, Kiyomori Hira has not yet been the number one official in Japan, but the power and prestige of the Hira and his sons cannot be underestimated.
Not to mention that Hira Tadamori had served as the Kyoto Prosecutor's Envoy for a long time before, and was in charge of the security work in Kyoto, which allowed him to make friends with many dignitaries in Kyoto.
A soldier of his status coming to the capital city is completely different from those barbarians attacking from a political perspective.
At least many people in Kyoto will have doubts?
Why did our close friend, His Excellency Ping Zhongsheng, bring his invincible army to the capital he loves, and meet everyone in arms?
Is there anything we can't talk about?
But Hira Tadamori, who learned that Emperor Sutoku had been placed under house arrest, was not in the mood to have a good talk.
Ping Zhongsheng immediately had a reason to attack the city: Jing Nan welcomes Zheng!
Moreover, his hands-on ability is extremely strong. At the beginning, Ximen in Dazaifu was hesitant to do anything, but now he does what he says: attack the city!
Of course, at this time, Fujiwara's loyal envoy came out and said to Ping Zhongsheng: "As a subject, why did you go to Luo with a knife and act of arrogance?"
