Chapter 1421 Generals Conquering Barbarians
Luo Cheng took a sip of lamb wine and said with a smile, "I've been hanging for a few days, I'm anxious."
"It's interesting to say that the Queen of Japan actually made a request, saying that she would let their ruling minister Su I-Mazi stay in the Qin Dynasty to serve the saints."
"Is that queen's uncle? All four daughters are married to the imperial concubine?"
Wei Zheng nodded and said, "That Su I-Ma Zi is a powerful minister of the Japanese state. He has supported several Japanese kings and is extremely powerful in Japan. Although this Japanese king is Su I-Ma Zi's niece, it is obvious that he wants to get rid of him, so he wants to use the sword of Daqin to kill people."
How can Daqin’s sword be so easy to borrow?
The emperor said calmly, "I remember this time, Su I, Ma Zi, also chose a daughter who is said to be a beautiful country, and asked the Queen of Japan to enthrone the title of princess, saying that she wanted to offer it to me?"
"Well, let the Queen of Japan be adopted as her adopted daughter and change her name to Atsuhime. It is said that she looks good. However, I, Daqin, have no shortage of women, and no shortage of national beauty, and the saints do not love beauty."
The wine made of fat and tender lamb gravy and steamed glutinous rice has a unique taste, which is fat but not greasy, and the wine is not strong, but it seems like drinking a soup.
Luo Cheng brought a piece of beef jerky over. The five-spice beef jerky was exposed to the wind and sun on the grassland. It looked as hard as iron and the lines were tight. When he tore it hard, he could hear the sound of Slala.
Throw the torn other half to Wei Zheng.
"Thank you for the gift of the saint."
"Hmph, pee." Luo Cheng's relationship with the old Taoist was really incomparable to other slaughter. He continued to tear down one and threw it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, it was very chewy, and the more he chewed, the more he tasted it. "A couple copper mine wanted to get out, they were too naive. I guess, the queen of the Japanese must also know that this was just her temptation."
Wei Zheng also chewed the beef jerky. The old Taoist's teeth were pretty good, and he chewed it very vigorously. "What is the saint's plan for Japan? Do you really want the armed merchant ships to rob you in this way?"
There are also many controversies in the court. Some people think that they should directly attack and destroy Japan just like destroying Baekje. Some people think that Baekje is still a peninsula that extends from Liaodong. It is easier for the court to destroy Goguryeo with the remaining power of Goguryeo and then destroy Baekje. It is very helpful for the imperial court to consolidate the old land of Goguryeo and control Silla. However, Japan is different. Japan is very poor, all of them are large and large, and the Japanese are also relatively stubborn. It is probably not easy to conquer like Baekje.
Baekje has not settled yet, so there is no time to fight Japan. Even if Baekje has established a stable rule on its former land, the next goal will be Silla on the peninsula.
Luo Cheng chewed the beef jerky and explained, "The previous permission for the maritime merchants to plunder Japan was also a lesson for the Japanese, putting pressure on them, and also restraining them from sending troops to interfere with Baekje. Now it seems that the effect is very good. The Japanese are shouting on the surface, but now it looks like they can't even beat our Daqin maritime merchants."
Of course, the maritime merchants did not really attack Japan directly. They adopted the tactic of harassing and plundering, landed around the coast, attacked the east and west, and robbed it and left it, which made Japan very helpless.
"I am very happy that the King of Japan really wants to change the current situation and is willing to compromise and give in. But, a pair of Tongshan is definitely not enough. I will destroy Japan sooner or later, but it is impossible to move south in a large-scale manner."
"That is to continue to harass the enemy with maritime merchants, and weary the enemy and weaken the enemy?"
"not enough."
The emperor shook his head.
Luo Cheng smiled and said, since the Japanese wanted to make peace, then just follow his wishes and take the opportunity to openly hit him a few strokes.
"You can talk to the Japanese first and make a few requirements first. First, the Japanese will be changed to one of our Great Qin Roads, which will be the East Qin Road, with Zi County, Yiyu County, Dongying County and Guandong County under it. I can grant the Eda tribe the Duke of Dongying County, the Governor of Dongying Road, the General of the Conquering Yi and the Prefect of Dongying County, and the Eda tribe can retain the title of King of Japanese."
"The second is that after the East Japan Road, the legal system of the Great Qin must be implemented, the equal land order, the two tax system, and the government military system. It is a vassal state of the Great Qin, with a status of like Jiangdong Road. The court can send migrant officials to serve as censors, county magistrates and other positions."
"Third, building Ziwai Islands must be handed over to the court's direct jurisdiction, including Tsuma, Iki, Goshima, Hirado, Amakura Islands and Nagasaki Peninsula."
"Fourth, I want the mining rights of Yi Yu's other mountains, bronze mountains and stones from Japan."
Wei Zheng was a little surprised. The emperor only needs to build a small island outside Zidao, and add two more mines?
"The requirements are not high, right? I don't think it's high, either. This is better than asking the Japanese to ced large islands like Chu Zi and Yi Yu."
The emperor said.
"Sage, is it a little higher to give the status of the Japanese vassal state?"
"Let's go step by step. As long as Japan agrees to be the vassal state of our Great Qin, then we can do a lot of things. First, soften their confrontation, and then build military ports in Tsuma, Hirado, Nagasaki and other places, station troops, and establish traders ports. This is the advance base for attacking Japan when the time is right in the future."
"Apart from that, those two mines are not legends, they are really two rich mines. Only one Shi Jian Yinshan, and the latest soot blowing method of the Royal Eunuchs Province to refine silver can earn one million taels of silver in a year. The situation in Biezi Tongshan is similar. After these two mines are collected, they will be able to count the silver and copper at that time."
"Oh, I understand. To deal with Japan is like to deal with Shen Faxing. First let him surrender to the vassal state, then set up a network on all sides, and then deploy it from the outer islands, and finally wait for the time to be ripe and then destroy it in one fell swoop."
"That's right, so as long as the Japanese agree, we can let him go first and completely ban the maritime merchants from plundering the Japanese. We will change plundering into trade and do business with the Japanese. As long as the Japanese relax trade, they will definitely not be able to deal with us. At that time, there will be a complete deficit, and their gold and silver will flow into our Qin Dynasty, and the weaker their strength will be."
This is really a way for a great country to kill people without blood.
A small island country really cannot confront a great country, especially now, the Qin Dynasty is not only a great country across the sea, but also has arrived at the doorstep of Japan. It is just across the strait of Baekje. Japan's trade and merchant ships can arrive at any time. The more you contact, the more Japan will be sucked invisibly and eventually die of blood.
"Water Campaign, please explain my conditions to the Queen of the Wai and Su Imai. By the way, let me tell you about the Queen of the Wai that she wanted to keep her uncle in the Central Plains to enjoy her happiness."
"The saints are trying to distract them."
"But what I'm talking about is the truth."
Wei Zheng hehe, "What is the saint looking forward to happening?"
"It doesn't matter what happens. If the King of the Japanese takes action first, I will still grant her official positions. But if the King of Su Mu takes action first, I will grant him the position of General of the Conquest of the Yi. He can also go back and establish another puppet King of the Japanese and accept the title of my Duke of the East County and the Japanese Jiedushi."
This method is really high. If the emperor only gave the Japanese king the conditions to choose, there might be a bargaining. But now the emperor has offered a price on both sides, then the Japanese king and Su Mu family will be in a situation of dying. In order to get the support of the Qin Dynasty, he can only accept any conditions.
"Then I will first congratulate the saint here, and add another four counties to the Qin Dynasty and expand the territory!"
