The Japanese envoy’s shouts outside the door were so loud that they reached the front hall of the mansion.
Li Qinzai, who was sitting in the front hall, heard clearly and immediately sneered.
Speaking of which, Li Qinzai changed the name of the country "Japan" to them.
At the beginning, six thousand Tang troops relied on three-eyed guns to break through their capital, Asuka City, and marched straight in, almost occupying the entire Japanese territory.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the eldest brother among the kings of the country decisively sued for peace and sent his eldest daughter, Kono Sanliang, to the Tang army camp. This led to peace talks between the two countries.
It was said to be a peace talk, but in fact there was nothing to talk about. Basically, Li Qinzai put forward conditions, and the Japanese leader was forced to agree. There was no room for bargaining. If he did not agree, he would continue to fight until the dynasty was completely overthrown.
I remember that Li Qinzai put forward eight conditions, one of which was to change the name of the original "Dahe Kingdom" to "Japanese Kingdom".
The word "Yamato" is too high-end and the Japanese don't deserve it. If you don't accept it, take a piss and take a photo. Whether it's "大和", do these two words have anything to do with them?
The word "Japanese" is very approachable. Whether it is the literal meaning or the historical origin from the Eastern Han Dynasty, this word is tailor-made for them.
When Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty was in power, Japanese envoys crossed the sea to the Central Plains to pay their respects. The then Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was very pleased, so he gave the envoy a gold seal with the words "Seal of the Han Japanese Nu King" engraved on it.
Liu Xiu was really good at showing off his face to the Japanese slaves.
Look at Emperor Guangwu, who is even more rude than Li Qinzai. He directly calls them "Japanese slaves" without caring whether they can tolerate it or not.
The strange thing is that the Japanese really could bear it. Instead of being angry, they were very honored. They thought they had been recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty, so the whole country rejoiced.
As for the name "Japanese Nu" being too unpleasant, it doesn't matter. Considering the population base, production situation and almost blank cultural heritage of the Japanese Nu country at that time, being called a Japanese Nu by the prosperous Central Plains Dynasty was already a high honor.
It was not until the Sui Dynasty that the belated Japanese slaves found that the weather had cleared up and the rain had stopped, and they were able to work again, so they changed the name of their country to "Yamato", and the king also called himself "Emperor". The king wrote to
In his letter, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dared to call himself the "Emperor of the Sun".
At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was busy dealing with Goguryeo and had no time to pay attention to the hozens on this overseas island country. Otherwise, he would have built a big ship and destroyed them long ago.
As an overseas barbarian island country, if you are too arrogant, you will be punished.
Later, Li Qinzai came, and the retribution of the Japanese slaves also came.
Six thousand soldiers landed on the island, marched with great success, and wiped out the country. From the king to the ordinary people, their lives were all in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Li Qinzai cured their arrogance when he made conditions.
The Kingdom of Yamato was renamed the Kingdom of Japan from then on, and the ruler of the country was the ruler of the country. If you dare to call yourself emperor, you will be killed.
Not only that, the Tang Dynasty stationed nearly 10,000 troops in the Japanese country all year round, and mobilized the domestic resources of the Japanese country to build a port on the north of the island, laying the groundwork for the Tang Dynasty's future expedition to Goguryeo.
It has to be said that the Japanese envoys came to visit today and the shouts they shouted outside the house really made Li Qinzai feel happy both physically and mentally.
That's right. When you are conquered, you should act like a slave to your country. You don't have to be secretive when flattering. No matter how loud you are, no one will laugh.
The sound of footsteps came from far to near.
The first thing Li Qinzai saw was the Tibetan envoy. After being stunned for a moment, he frowned slightly.
The Tubo envoy walked with great momentum. At this moment, the Japanese envoy was still prostrating himself outside. The Tubo envoy had already strode outside the front hall, stood outside with one hand on his chest, saluted, and said loudly: "Tubo envoy Zashile
On the orders of Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, I send my greetings to Duke Li County of the Tang Dynasty."
"May the Duke of Li County be blessed with good fortune and longevity, like an eagle striking the sky, and may his fame spread far and wide."
Li Qinzai sat in the hall without getting up. He smiled at the envoy and said, "The envoy has worked hard all the way. Please sit high in the hall."
Zahile thanked him and entered the room proudly, kneeling down and sitting at the guest seat.
Li Qinzai turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Is your Prime Minister Lu Dongzan still in good health?"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Li County, for your concern. The Prime Minister is in good health. It is the prime year of the Spring and Autumn Period."
Li Qinzai's eyes flashed, hey, the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak?
According to the history of the previous life, Lu Dongzan's lifespan was only about one or two years. Li Qinzai, a time traveler, unexpectedly arrived. After the Battle of Tuyuhun, the Tubo army retreated to their home country in embarrassment.
Lu Dongzan was almost captured alive by Su Dingfang's army. He was frightened along the way, and Lu Dongzan was afraid that his time would be numbered.
Lu Dongzan has held the power of the prime minister for many years, and the powers in his country are complicated. The conflicts among all parties are becoming increasingly acute, and the power of the prime minister is even higher than the power of the king.
If Lu Dongzan died, the Tibetan dignitaries and landowners would definitely be in chaos.
When Li Qinzai and Li Zhizuo faced each other, the reason why they were confident in conquering Tubo was because they believed that Lu Dongzan's order was not long in coming. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Tubo, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to the plateau. With the blessing of sharp firearms, the probability of destroying the country in one battle was not small.
Now the envoy in front of him said something about the prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period, but Li Qinzai just smiled.
It's normal for envoys to tell lies on other people's territory. Li Qinzai also did this before. We all used to be colleagues and can understand.
Just after exchanging a few words, footsteps came from outside the hall again.
Fujiwara Yuno, the Japanese envoy, prostrated himself on the ground outside the door and finally walked to the front yard.
It has to be said that this Japanese envoy was much more polite than the Tubo people. He was still in the courtyard, his knees softened again, and he continued to kneel down facing the front hall.
"The envoy of Japan, Fujiwara Yuno, pays homage to His Excellency Duke Li County of Shangguo, the head of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Qinzai smacked his lips, "Tsk, it's so pious, it makes him, the client, a little shy. It seems inappropriate not to bless him to get rich this year."
"Come in, please sit high in the hall." Li Qinzai said with a loud smile outside.
Fujiwara Yuno stood up immediately, walked half-bowed from the front yard to the hall, quickly took off his shoes, knelt down at the entrance, then knelt on his knees and walked to his seat, and then he knelt down respectfully.
Li Qinzai nodded with satisfaction, then glanced sideways at the Tibetan envoy.
Look at people!
The envoys from the two countries came to the door together and chatted a little too much. Li Qinzai turned sideways and looked at the Japanese envoy and said with a smile: "Is the second brother of the king of your country in good health?"
Fujiwara Yuno was stunned and hurriedly bowed: "Your Excellency, Mr. Li County, please forgive me for the death of my subordinates. My name as the leader of the Japanese country is 'Brother Zhong', not 'Brother Zhong'. I have offended you, Simasai!"
Li Qinzai suddenly realized: "It's too much! I'm sorry, I remembered the wrong name, but I think the second name is also pretty good. In our Tang Dynasty, it means to praise others for their bravery and strategy. It's passionate and passionate."
Fujiwara Yuno laughed with him, but didn't dare to say anything.
A minister of the Tang Dynasty just changed the name of our country. Today, he changed the name of our country's leader. Even if you are a general who conquered our country, then... it is still a bit rude.
