Chapter 2876 Datang needs a Japanese who even needs to import a shovel
After all, the various precious metals on the Japanese island are all good things that the Tang Dynasty desperately needs.
Furthermore, Japan Island is not far from the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, the industry and commerce of the Tang Dynasty have become more and more developed.
It is absolutely suitable as a dumping ground for Datang's industrial and commercial goods, and it is also an excellent relay station for Datang's development of ocean shipping.
However, a unified Japanese island could easily cause Datang to lose control of the Japanese island.
And if the Tang Dynasty directly wiped out the Japanese country, it would divide the entire Japanese island into several countries, and then the Tang Dynasty would station a small number of troops here to suppress and monitor.
Then through the dumping of a large amount of goods, it is enough for the Japanese island countries to work hard to mine in exchange for various survival and daily necessities.
As long as I am alive and as long as the Han and Tang dynasties are still engaged in international trade, the life and death of the Japanese island countries can be firmly in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
One day, when the minerals on the island are almost mined, it will probably take a hundred years or so.
At that time, a Japanese island with no mineral resources on its land would need to import even an iron tool from overseas.
How much of a threat does this pose to Datang? Of course, there will be those who give examples and gibberish.
But if you can see the nonsense about Cheng Sanlang a hundred years later, it is already very good.
If a hundred years later, we are unable to deal with Japan, which has not even a piece of iron ore and is still in a state of division, then we will only blame future generations for not living up to expectations.
Of course, there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said, but Cheng Chubi is still very clear about it.
Facing the well-reasoned explanations and explanations from the eloquent Cheng Sanlang, both Fang Jun and Wang Xuance breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, although Cheng Sanlang's approach seemed a bit strange, after his explanation, it was indeed very reasonable.
If the Japanese were too disobedient, there would be nothing wrong with pacifying them. We were worried that the Japanese would fall into civil strife and disrupt the Tang Dynasty's foreign trade economy.
Therefore, we support those wealthy families who have a very harmonious relationship with the Tang Dynasty (Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses) and let them divide eight of the Japanese islands.
In this way, even if there is chaos in Japan in the future, among so many Tibetan vassal countries, no one will be willing to obey anyone, so I will fight to the death first.
The Tang Dynasty could calmly arrange suppression, which was far easier than dealing with a unified Japanese country.
#####
One after another, the homing pigeons fluttered high above the Japanese island, and the wealthy families from all over the Japanese island, as well as the shopkeepers of the Tang Dynasty and Hantang trading houses who had friends with the wealthy families from all over the world.
I could only bite the bullet, assume the role of informant and lobbyist, and start doing ideological work with the leaders of the wealthy families.
Of course, most of them use their profits boldly to smash the opponent, making stars appear in the opponent's eyes and feeling like a deer's heart. Basically, there will be no problem.
Early the next morning, Oban Fuki, who had not rested all night, carefully crafted a letter of restoration of Shanin with the help of Cheng Sanlang Yingquan.
Use the great seal of the Shanyin Kingdom that had been carved overnight by someone to cover the carefully written credential, and presented it to Cheng Sanlang in the presence of the generals of the Tang Navy.
He also cried bitterly and told how the Shanin Kingdom lived a life worse than death under the bullying of the Japanese country. The entire Shanin royal family lived a miserable life of being slaves and maids.
Even his elder brother, Oban Nagade, is still imprisoned in the Japanese prison in order to protect the Oban clan in Shanin. He does not even dare to commit suicide, for fear that the cruel Japanese country will use this as an excuse to destroy the Oban clan.
Cheng Sanlang, a group of civil and military personnel of the Tang Dynasty, and the Silla generals all heard this tragic story that made those who heard it sad and shed tears.
Cheng Chubi kindly helped the Shanyin ruler who had been bullied and even had his arm chopped off by the Japanese, but did not dare to retaliate.
Tell the other party that the Tang Dynasty will definitely take charge of the country for you, a small country that loves peace and is respectful to the Tang Dynasty.
After discussion, the Tang Dynasty Navy left a batch of previously captured weapons and armor to the Lord of Shanin Kingdom, Otomo.
The leader of the Shanyin Kingdom also issued a petition against the Japanese the next day, raised the national flag of the Shanin Kingdom high, and began the Shanyin Kingdom's path of following the Tang Dynasty in the fight against the Japanese.
Subsequently, Cheng Chubi led the Tang and New Allied Forces to leave the Shanyin Kingdom and move in the next direction.
After careful consideration, the final decision was made, except that the main island of Wajima was divided into eight countries.
In addition, Kyushu Island was established as Hyuga Kingdom, Shikoku Island was established as Awa Kingdom, and the northernmost one was directly called Ezo Kingdom.
After such a division, the eleven wealthy families who had a very good relationship with the merchant houses of Han and Tang Dynasties were all equally affected.
As for other people who have opinions, haha, Cheng Chubi doesn't think there is any problem. He labels those who have opinions as comrades of the Japanese royal family, haha...
Next, Cheng Chubi walked non-stop along the coast of the Japanese country, and met with those wealthy families who were currently having fierce conflicts with the Japanese imperial army and had good relations with the merchants of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
In less than half a month, the Sanin Kingdom, Sanyang Kingdom, and Hokuriku Kingdom were re-established, holding high the flag of righteousness and spearheading the Tang Dynasty's war against Japanese aggression.
Higashiyama Country, Tokai Country, North Sea Country, Hyuga Country, Awa Country, Nankai Country, etc. responded one after another.
After experiencing a disastrous defeat, Brother Zhong, who was still in shock when he returned to the Japanese island, heard that the wealthy families on the Japanese island were establishing kingdoms one after another. He immediately ordered all the remaining soldiers to set off for Asuka City immediately.
And the day after Big Brother left with the remaining defeated generals, Cheng Sanlang led the Tang and New Allied Forces with great force and finally landed on this pier.
The military front was directed towards Asuka Castle, the capital of the Japanese king.
#####
At this moment, the city of Asuka is really miserable. All the relatives of the Japanese emperor are gathered in the palace, and they all have no masters.
Emperor Xiaotoku sat silently in the middle, looking at the ministers on the left and right. He clearly saw that there were a lot less civil and military officials entering the court today.
This made Emperor Kotoku look up to the sky helplessly and sigh, it was normal for the Otomo clan, the Mononobe clan, and the Ab clan to betray him.
After all, the imperial court had previously ordered them to hand over various mines of gold and silver that they had excavated. They resisted and refused, but they were not willing to do so, which angered Brother Zhongda and launched an army to attack.
It can be said that these three clans have been completely separated from the imperial court. In addition, the Suga clan has been killed since Suga entered the deer.
The eldest brother Zhong intends to drive out the Suga clan, and the Suga clan has become the mortal enemy of the imperial court.
Therefore, it was not surprising that they raised troops to help the Tang Dynasty, but other wealthy families such as the Jusei clan and the Minato clan also rebelled, which was unexpected by Emperor Kotoku.
Just when Emperor Kotoku was worried, he finally heard the sound of rapid footsteps.
When Emperor Kotoku saw Nakadai, the Crown Prince, who was older than himself, he strode towards him with a look of great anger...
