For the Japanese nation, this incident was enough to go down in history.赵
That was the last struggle of the Japanese royal family. From the standpoint of the Japanese state, this incident was undoubtedly positive. The royal family and its subjects were unwilling to be enslaved by the Tang Dynasty, so they rose up to resist. Although they were unsuccessful, they became benevolent.
From the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, this was just a rebellion. Weinan County Duke Li Qinzai made arrangements and easily suppressed the rebellion.
No matter what position you take, there will only be one position left in the end.
Soon after, scholars from the Tang Dynasty would come to Japan, set up private schools, and completely assimilate the Japanese people culturally, then surrender, and finally be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
The Japanese country has only a trace left in history, just like the mysterious ancient Loulan country that has become a mystery. Thousands of years later, it is just a legend. There once was such a country on a distant island...
The rebellion is over, but those who deserve to be killed still have to be killed.
The Japanese ministers living in Asuka City were pulled out of their mansions one by one by the Tang army, stripped of their luxurious official clothes, some were imprisoned in prison, and some were taken directly to the execution ground and beheaded.
The moat outside Feiniao City has been dyed red with blood, and countless living people have become corpses, and the corpses have been carried away and buried.
In the next few days, the Tang army attacked the entire city of Feiniao City and went on a killing spree.
Everyone involved with the rebellion was questioned, and all officials and common people were killed by the Tang army.
There were more than 40,000 people imprisoned outside the city, guarded day and night by thousands of Tang troops. Half of these 40,000 people were forced by the king's order and had to come to Feiniao City to swear allegiance to Brother Zhong.
The other half was the alliance army on the night of the rebellion, which was attacked from both sides by Liu Renyuan and Wang Fangyi. With no hope of survival, they finally had to lay down their weapons and surrender.
Many people were killed that night, but many more survived.
Li Qinzai exercised restraint and restrained himself, trying to kill as few people as possible, but he still killed thousands of people.
The Tang army liquidated the rebels inside and outside Feiniao City, and Li Qinzai was not idle either.
On the second day of the incident, Brother Zhong drafted an edict to abdicate. The content of the edict was of course not that dark. It was simply that I was ill, unable to walk, unable to govern, etc., so I decided to abdicate, hoping that all the subjects of the Japanese country would not suffer.
I think it really has nothing to do with the rebellion. If you don’t believe the rumors, don’t spread them.
Then Li Qinzai chose one person to be the head of the country among all the princes and daughters of the eldest brother.
This person is a woman with a nice name, "Princess Asuka". She is the son of Naka's eldest brother and Abe Tachibana, a member of the domestic royal family's Abe family. She is eleven years old this year.
The new head of the country was personally selected by Li Qinzai. The selection criteria were very simple. Because of her age, she was the youngest among all the princes and daughters of the eldest brother.
Also, how could Li Qinzai not be in awe of the name "Asuka"? He had taught him so much knowledge in his previous life, and he must be grateful as a person.
The ministers of the Japanese state were imprisoned and beheaded, and Li Qinzai almost cleaned the palaces and halls of the Japanese state.
As for the Princess Asuka, there is no need to rush to the throne. The Tang Dynasty's official department will soon send officials to assist the Princess in becoming the head of the country.
It doesn't matter if there are no ministers in the court. Selecting a group from the Japanese scribes or even monks is just a fictitious thing anyway.
The real power of the Japanese state was still firmly in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. After suppressing the rebellion, the Tang Dynasty had more complete control over the Japanese state.
…………
After the battle, Li Qinzai ordered the Tang army to rest for three days.
The Japanese had been submissively ruled by the Tang army and could be put into various positions. Next, Li Qinzai ordered Liu Renyuan and Wang Fangyi to organize 40,000 Japanese cannon fodder into combat orders and train them continuously every day.
Although the training in just a few days is of no use, Li Qinzai has done this kind of thing like sharpening a gun in battle for his whole life. Please take some psychological comfort. If he really enters the Haidong battlefield, he can hold on for a while longer and take a few more knives.
苵
Inside a tent at the rear of the Tang Army's camp.
Li Qinzai and Xue Na sat opposite each other. There were several hard dishes on the low table in front of them, including chicken, duck and fish.
There are two jars of wine placed on the corner of the table. Yes, they are private goods that Xue Ne secretly brought from the Tang Dynasty.
Drinking is prohibited in the army, but Xue Ne obviously does not regard himself as a soldier. There has been chaos in the past few days. Li Qinzai has not seen Xue Ne at all, and he does not know where he is lying in the grass and eking out an ignoble existence.
"The more you act like a horse, the more comfortable you become. I don't care about anything else. You have to take care of my horse. If you go to the battlefield and find the horse running away, think about what will happen to you.
"Li Qinzai took a sip of wine and said.
Xue Ne slapped his chest hard, too hard, his face was red, his ears were red, he was choking and coughing for a long time, and then he said: "Brother Jingchu, don't underestimate me. I am also a general. My father has taught me how to serve the war horses in the army."
"There have been constant wars in the past few days. Although I personally participated in the battle, which of our Tang army's war horses caused you trouble?"
Li Qinzai hummed, and then said: "Your father kicked you into the camp to train you, and also wanted you to make achievements. Taking charge of war horses is a logistical matter, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to make achievements."
"How about I transfer you to the forward camp as a captain?" Li Qinzai asked tentatively.
Xue Ne's face suddenly turned pale: "Brother Jingchu, if you want to kill me, you can just draw a knife and stab me. Why bother? The forward battalion suffered too many casualties. The chance of meritorious service may be great, but the chance of survival is even slimmer!"
Li Qinzai glanced at him: "Coward! Why do you want to be a soldier if you are afraid of death?"
"I don't want to be a soldier either, my father kicked me in." Xue Ne said aggrievedly.
"If you don't obey, will your father beat you to death?"
Xue Ne thought for a while and said seriously: "Yes."
His face darkened, and Xue Na sighed: "I have many brothers in my life, and my father is not short of a son like me."
Li Qinzai sighed, if this coward was his son, he would have to... Well, his son was really reluctant to send him to the battlefield. In this regard, Lao Xue was more aware and cruel than him.
Scratching his head, Li Qinzai sighed: "When we land on the Haidong Peninsula, I will think about giving you a not-too-dangerous but important opportunity to make a contribution and go home to do business."
Brothers who don't live up to expectations are also brothers. Xue Na is Li Qinzai's first friend after he came to this world. What else can he do? Of course, choose to forgive and then fulfill him.
Xue Ne picked up the wine cup movedly: "It's all in the wine!"
Just as he was about to drink it all, Li Qinzai quickly covered his mouth with his eyes and hands, and then poured the wine from his wine cup into his own.
"Young master, you are just trying to fool me. It is forbidden to drink alcohol in the camp. One sip of this wine is less than one sip. Don't toast me to satisfy your addiction. If you really mean it, leave all your wine to me."
"Brother Jingchu, the commander of the First Army, isn't that right?" Xue Ne said in shock.
"As for it, it's so special!"
Li Qinzai turned around and looked around, planning to dig out a few more jars of wine from Xue Ne's tent and then return home with a full load.
Seeing Li Qinzai rummaging around, Xue Ne's expression changed a little and he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Brother Jingchu, what are you looking for? Tell Brother Yu, and Brother Yu will help you find it."
Li Qinzai ignored him, turned around and touched the bed in the tent. Then, the expressions of Li Qinzai and Xue Ne changed.
Li Qinzai looked shocked, and Xue Ne looked panicked.
The quilt on the bed was lifted up, and inside was a mountain of gold, silver, pearls, jade, and various valuable utensils, gems, ivory...
Li Qinzai was shocked. He hadn't seen him for a few days. Did he get rich in Japan?
Inside the camp, the two looked at each other and were silent for a long time.
After a long while, Li Qinzai said leisurely: "Brother Shenyan, you'd better explain to me where these things came from, and immediately teach me your valuable experience for free."
Xue Ne quickly covered the quilt with a mountain of gold, silver, pearls and jade, and said with a forced smile: "It's all hard-earned money!"
"What I am exploiting is my hard-earned money, confiscated!" Li Qinzai said and stepped forward.
Xue Ne was shocked and turned pale. He threw himself on the gold and silver and said angrily: "The hard-earned money has not been confiscated. Do you have any humanity anymore?"
"You can treat me like a beast, I don't mind, but the hard-earned money must be confiscated." Li Qinzai stretched out his hand to pull the quilt, but Xue Na refused, and the two struggled hard.
After fighting with each other for a long time, both of them lost their strength. Li Qinzai gasped and said: "Obey, you are still a child. You can't control so much money. I will help you control it and ensure that it is spent wisely..."
"Brother Jingchu, we brothers can spend it together if we have money, but if you confiscate it all, it's too much!" Xue Na said sadly and angrily.
"You Bi Mawen need to spend whatever money you want, I am the one who needs the money urgently, so let go!"
