Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Kyoto, Japan, also known as Heian-kyō, is located in the central and western part of Honshu Island, Japan, in the northern part of the Kyoto Basin, only five kilometers east of Lake Biwa, Japan's largest lake. It is surrounded by the Tamba Mountains, the Hira Mountains and the Kibune Mountains on the east, west and north sides. The urban area opens to the south of Osaka Bay with the Kyoto Basin in the shape of a giant pocket, with an area of ​​610 square kilometers. At its peak, the population was about 1.6 million.

When Ruan Xiaoer and others arrived in Kyoto, Japan, they saw that the city gate was full of Japanese people kneeling.

The leader was Fujiwara Tadamichi, the regent (equivalent to the prime minister) of Emperor Sutoku. It was he who ordered to give up resistance after seeing that it was impossible, so that the Yuan army could take down the complete Japanese imperial palace and capture all the Japanese royal family and clan members.

At this moment, Fujiwara Tadamichi crawled on the ground with his butt raised high, indicating his submission, and other Japanese followed suit.

Ruan Xiaowu said to Ruan Xiaoer and others: "They all came to welcome the Marshal."

To be honest, seeing such a scene, Ruan Xiaoer couldn't help but feel a little proud, because it was enough to show that he led his people to conquer Japan.

However, Ruan Xiaoer soon calmed down, because he knew that the occupation of Japan was far from over, and he still had many tasks.

Tai Tadamori explained to Ruan Xiaoer and others: "Although Fujiwara Tadamichi is the regent, he does not have much real power. The real power is the Fujiwara clan, and he is just a puppet."

The Fujiwara clan existed as early as the Asuka period. When Fujiwara Yoshifusa came to power, he used his relatives to serve as the regent, and he controlled the government for a long time in the name of regent or regent. This was called the regent politics. It was the heyday of the Northern Family, and established the tradition that the regent regent was held by the direct descendants of the Northern Family. After Michinaga came to power, the Fujiwara clan's monopoly reached its peak. During this period, the Fujiwara clan used relatives to interfere in politics and did whatever they wanted. There were two queens and four daughters and three concubines. The Crown Princess was established, and the young emperor lived in her house. The positions of regent, chancellor, grand minister, and left and right ministers were monopolized by the Fujiwara clan, forming a special system of regent politics.

This family can be said to be the first family in Japan. Even those who are in it may not know how deep the water is.

So, what Taira Tadamori said is not wrong at all.

However, Fujiwara Tadamichi still has some political capital. Emperor Toba's queen Fujiwara Shoko is Fujiwara Tadamichi's sister.

- Although the title of the queen is different from that of the empress, since the 66th generation of Emperor Ichijo, they have all been regarded as quasi-empresses or equivalent to empresses.

Moreover, it is said that Fujiwara Shoko and Emperor Shirakawa have a relationship.

In addition, the previous regent, chancellor, and grand minister Fujiwara Tadamichi is also the father of Fujiwara Tadamichi.

Ruan Xiaoer said to Fujiwara Tadamichi: "Since you took the initiative to surrender, which made my Yuan army less handy, and you have made contributions to my Yuan, I will allow all of your Fujiwara clan to move to my Yuan capital. I will also report your Fujiwara clan's contributions truthfully and let your family continue to enjoy wealth and honor."

When Ruan Xiaoer said this, Fujiwara Tadamichi and other people in the Fujiwara clan were all shocked!

It took many generations of efforts for the Fujiwara clan to become the first wealthy family in Japan. Its influence spread throughout Japan. Even the Japanese royal family and clan members did not dare to provoke their family members. Ruan Xiaoer's light words would end their countless generations and countless people's efforts?

Fujiwara Tadamichi and the Fujiwara clan were all people who were proficient in politics. They knew that the Yuan Empire was now powerful, and it would definitely be no good for them to argue with Ruan Xiaoer at this time.

This matter had to be planned slowly.

So, Fujiwara Tadamichi and the Fujiwara clan did not speak at all, as if they had tacitly agreed to Ruan Xiaoer's arrangement.

The shape and layout of the Heian-kyō city are modeled after the Tang Dynasty capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, especially the imitation of Chang'an. The overall planning and layout imitates the east-west symmetry of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty at that time, and the size of the market is similar to that of Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. The central axis, Suzaku Avenue, follows the Suzaku Avenue of Chang'an, dividing Heian-kyō into two parts: Sakyo and Ukyo (the east side is Sakyo and the west side is Ukyo). Ukyo is called Chang'an and Sakyo is called Luoyang.

Because the area where Ukyo is located is full of swamps, it has gradually become deserted, and the main development of the city is concentrated in Sakyo.

Along the way, Ruan Xiaoer and others found that most of the houses in the city were built on the slopes of the basin, and the streets were up and down. The Kono River and the Kamo River merged into the Kamo River in the urban area and flowed southward into the Katsura River, and finally merged with the Yodo River flowing into Osaka Bay. Looking around, the green mountains and green waters complemented each other. The ancient temples and the imperial palace gardens were distributed on both sides of the undulating streets, scattered and orderly, luxurious and elegant. It was indeed a good place.

The palace city (Heian Palace) of Heian-kyo is located in the center of the northern part of the capital, which is equivalent to the combination of the palace city and the imperial city of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, and the inner and Daji Hall in the palace city are equivalent to the palace city (Taijigo Palace) and Taiji Hall of Chang'an.

When they arrived in front of the palace gate, Ruan Xiaoer and others saw a large group of Japanese kneeling in front of the palace gate, and the leader was actually a four or five-year-old child. Needless to say, he must be the Japanese Emperor Sutoku.

Ruan Xiaoer and others entered the Taiji Hall where the Japanese emperor issued orders, then took out Jiang Hongfei's imperial edict and read it out:

Removing those useless rhetoric, Jiang Hongfei's main meaning is as follows:

1. Abolish Japan and incorporate all its land into the Great Yuan Empire.

2. The original Japan, including Ezo, was divided into Hokkai County (located at the northernmost tip of the Japanese archipelago, bordering the Sea of ​​Japan, the Pacific Ocean, and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, separated from the Tsugaru Strait to the south, by Hokkaido and the nearby small islands of Rishiri, Rebun, and Okushiri) ), Ou County (composed of Mutsu Province and Dewa Province, including Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Akita, Yamagata, and Fukushima six prefectures), Kanto County (the east and south are bordered by the Pacific Ocean, and the north and west are surrounded by mountains. It is surrounded by the three prefectures of Aiha, Fuwa and Suzuka in the central area of ​​Honshu Island, including Tokyo and the six prefectures of Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa, and Chubu County (located in Honshu). The central part of the island includes Niigata, Nagano, Toyama, Ishikawa, Fukui, Yamanashi, Gifu, Shizuoka and the nine prefectures of Aichi) and Kinki County (located in the central part of Honshu Island, bordering Chubu Prefecture to the east, Chugoku Prefecture to the west, and Chuka Prefecture to the south. The Seto Inland Sea, Osaka Bay and the Pacific Ocean, bounded by Wakasa Bay and the Sea of ​​Japan to the north, including the five prefectures of Shiga, Mie, Nara, Hyogo, Wakayama and Kyoto and Osaka), Nakayama County (in the southwest of Honshu Island, in Between Kyushu Island and Kinki, it includes the five prefectures of Tottori, Shimane, Okayama, Hiroshima, and Yamaguchi) and Shikoku County (in southwest Japan, bordering the Seto Inland Sea to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south, and the Shikoku Island and its surrounding areas. It is composed of small islands, including the four prefectures of Tokushima, Kagawa, Ehime, and Kochi), and Kyushu County (composed of Kyushu Island and more than 1,400 surrounding small islands, including Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, Oita, and Miyazaki , Kumamoto, Kagoshima, and Okinawa), a total of eight counties.

3. All Japanese dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry who participated in the resistance were put on public trial.

4. All Japanese slaves will be released unconditionally.

5. Change to Hanfu.

6. Change the Chinese name.

7. All Japanese characters are banned. From now on, all eight counties in Japan will use Chinese characters. All Japanese books and texts will be collected and transported to the Yuan Empire and compiled into the "Hongwu Dadian".

Jiang Hongfei's imperial edict seemed ordinary, but in fact it was full of murderous intent, and it was to completely eradicate Japan's ruling class.

Together again, Jiang Hongfei wants to move five million Han people to Japan.

It is conceivable that Japan in the future will always belong to the Yuan Empire and the Han people.

In fact, the Fujiwara clan and the Fujiwara clan are not the same thing.

This is actually not correct.

It should be said that the original Fujiwara family was one family, but it was divided into several families during the development process.

Some of them have even formed deadly feuds among themselves.

For example, Fujiwara Shoko, Fujiwara Yasuko, and Fujiwara Tokuko are all named Fujiwara, but in fact they come from different families and represent different interests. They even hate each other so much that they want to strangle each other to death.

Basically, the representatives of each Fujiwara clan are: Fujiwara Shimichi, the elder of the Fujiwara clan, Fujiwara Tadashi, the former regent Dainagon Uchihan, Fujiwara Nagami Nakagami, Fujiwara Tadamichi, the current Kanbai Taizheng minister, and Fujiwara Tadamichi's younger brother Nauchan. Minister of the Left, Nori Naga Fujiwara, and others.

These Fujiwaras would never sit down and talk, let alone reach an agreement.

However, the Fujiwara family has great hands and eyes in Japan, and they quickly found out that the so-called public trial is a method of trial. The person being tried will be pushed to the public trial platform, and the humble civilians and slaves will be asked whether the person is guilty or not. If the common people and slaves say that the person is not guilty, they will be released. If the common people and slaves say that the person is guilty, they will behead him and have his house ransacked. It is said that nine out of ten people who go to the public trial cannot come down.

The people of the Fujiwara clan knew as soon as they heard that the Yuan Empire wanted to eradicate the foundation of Japan.

Moreover, people from the Fujiwara clan found out that the Yuan Empire had sent more than 3,000 people to govern and educate the eight counties of Japan, making it clear that there was no need for Japan's high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and gentry.

In this way, Fujiwara Tadamichi and the Fujiwara clan's people who originally did not want to go to live in the Yuan Empire became a life-saving straw for the Fujiwara clan.

Therefore, all the Fujiwara clan came here and wanted to be included in the Fujiwara clan where Fujiwara Tadashi was located. They all went to the Yuan Empire as a group. The main thing was that everyone must not go to the public trial.

The matter has come to this, if we don’t go to the Great Yuan Empire, our clan may be exterminated.

There was no other way, the Fujiwara clan could only merge together and prepare to move to the Yuan Empire.

In order to gain a certain basis for survival in the Yuan Empire and even continue to enjoy glory and wealth, Fujiwara did several things:

One is to bribe Ruan Xiaoer and other important officials of the Yuan Empire.

The second is to help officials of the Yuan Empire control Japan.

The third is to take the initiative to gather all the beautiful women of the right age from the Fujiwara family and prepare to dedicate them to Jiang Hongfei, hoping that some of them will be favored by Jiang Hongfei and allow them to replicate their success in Japan in the Yuan Empire.

In short, Fujiwara has been desperately trying to save himself...

Not only the Fujiwara family, but also the Tachibana family and other high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and gentry families are also working hard to save themselves.

For example, just like the Fujiwara clan, the Tachibana family demobilized all the slaves, bribed Ruan Xiaoer and others, helped the officials sent by the Yuan Empire to take over Japan, gathered all the young girls of the Tachibana family, and prepared to send them to Jiang Hongfei. In addition, His family also prepared a large number of treasures to present to Jiang Hongfei. In short, they tried their best to express their surrender to Jiang Hongfei and the Yuan Empire.

Of course, there are also some Japanese dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry who have gathered some samurai to prepare to break out of Heian Kyo as a last resort.

In addition, many Japanese nobles, wealthy families, and gentry families, such as the Senzuka clan and the Kitajima clan, spent a lot of money to bribe the guards of Xicheng, thinking that if Ruan Xiaoer and others did not change the order of the public trial tomorrow or Jiang Hongfei did not issue a special amnesty, they would escape from Xicheng to Heian-kyō.

For these people, the Minamoto clan, the Taira clan, the Fujiwara clan, the Tachibana clan and other Japanese people sold them out without hesitation.

As a result, before these Japanese nobles, wealthy families, and gentry families could take action, the Minamoto clan and the Taira clan led their family warriors to follow the Yuan army to wipe them all out, and then all men, regardless of age, were killed, and all women were beaten into criminals and sent back to the Yuan Empire to be rewarded to meritorious soldiers.

Seeing this, many Japanese nobles, wealthy families, and gentry families who were eager to try suddenly lost their temper.

If they didn't flee, some of them might still be lucky enough to survive;

If they fled, they would die, and even the boys would be exterminated.

After thinking about it, if they didn't flee, at least the boys wouldn't die, and those with good character would have a chance to survive.

In the end, a large number of Japanese dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry chose to leave it to fate.

Before Ruan Xiaoer came to Japan, Jiang Hongfei had a private interview with him: "If you don't kill the Japanese, you can't rule them."

Ruan Xiaoer believed in Jiang Hongfei's knowledge.

So Ruan Xiaoer carried out a massacre in Kyoto.

No one who should be killed was spared;

No one who could be killed or not was spared.

Ruan Xiaoer also did something that no general of the Yuan army would do.

That was that Ruan Xiaoer drove all the Japanese prisoners of war who didn't surrender at the first time into the sea.

The same was true for those Japanese who had complaints.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ruan Xiaoer's hands were stained with the blood of the Japanese.

After Ruan Xiaoer killed all the Japanese who had a spirit of resistance, Jiang Hongfei belatedly promulgated a large number of policies to benefit the people:

Debt forgiveness...

Food distribution...

Land distribution...

Three years of tax exemption for eight counties including Kyushu...

Imperial examination...

Education...

Medical development...

And so on...

In addition, notices were posted everywhere in eight counties including Kyushu, recruiting good people to move to the Yuan Empire to settle down. Those who went there, regardless of gender, age or age, would be rewarded with 20 mu of good land, 30 strings of spiritual money, and one cow for four people...

At the same time, a large number of Han people heard that as long as they came to Japan, they would be rewarded with 50 mu of good land, 50 strings of spiritual money, and two Japanese women, so they came one after another...

Soon, the right-wing Japanese army also broke through the Japanese defense line in the north, and surrounded the remaining Japanese troops with the left-wing Japanese army.

Half a month later, news came from Wang De that Emperor Shirakawa and Emperor Toba were captured alive by the Japanese and presented to them.

So far, Japan has completely become history.

Jiang Hongfei issued an imperial decree to take all the Japanese royal family and clan members from Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Toba, and Emperor Sutoku to Yuan Dadu and imprison them in Wanguo City. He also sent all the daughters of the Japanese royal family and clan members to his harem...
