Chapter 1792: Use barbarians to control barbarians
"No matter how fierce we Ezo people are, our population is too small. We cannot hold such a large land by ourselves. You must always remember that giving up dignity and relying on the Tang Dynasty is what we Ezo people are doing.
Once the friendship with the Tang people is lost, which is the basis for survival, the Ezo people will be destroyed. Sooner or later, they will be swallowed up by the Japanese, skin and bones, and no dregs will be left..."
Zhuo stood on the top of the other half of Qingye City that had not yet collapsed. Ji Shiju warned his brother like this.
He was well versed in Sinology and understood the principle of "making friends at a distance and attacking close by". The Tang people supported the Eni people not for friendship, but to weaken and contain the Japanese. However, the Eni people could not make their own decisions and stay away from the Tang people for the sake of so-called dignity.
The direction of the Ezo people is to strive to become the one who can be used by the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, without the support of the Tang people, the Japanese counterattack will be impossible for the Ezo people to resist. After all, the population of the Ezo people is too small...
…
If one day our race is extinct, what dignity will we have?
Jishima is a typical Ezo people, with all the characteristics of Ezo people, black and yellow complexion, thick body hair, long legs and wide waist, big head and high cheekbones. Standing at the head of the city in military uniform, facing the wind, with a majestic and fierce expression
, like a god of war.
He knew that he was not as smart as his elder brother, so he had obeyed his elder brother's advice since he was a child and never disobeyed.
Rubbing his hands in excitement, Ji Shijun asked: "The power of the 'divine thunder' is earth-shattering. If the elder brother can get a few more, wouldn't it be unstoppable to attack the city along the way?"
Ji Shiju shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you think the Tang Dynasty can give me any of those magical weapons? There will be no next time. But don't worry, Mutsu Kingdom has been turned upside down by us. Not only the surrounding feudal countries are in turmoil, but also Asuka Kina
There will definitely be a reaction from Bian, and the army to destroy us may be on the way now."
Ji Shijun looked ferocious, patted his chest hard, and said loudly: "Brother, don't worry, no matter how many Japanese people come, we won't let them come or go!"
With the equipment of the Tang Army and the training of the Tang Army, Ji Shijun's confidence is unprecedentedly high!
"No, no, no, don't go head-to-head with the Japanese soldiers. There is no point in doing so. We just need to avoid the more important ones and focus on killing the Japanese population. When the Japanese army comes out to destroy us... we will go to the sea and board the ship until they arrive.
Namba Tsu!”
Nambazu is the gateway to Asukakyo. Once the Ezo people's army appears in Nambajin, Asukakyo, where the emperor lives, will be within easy reach. At that time, the Tang Dynasty's fleet will appear in due time...
After capturing Aoba Castle, the Ezo army abandoned the city and advanced wildly southward along the coastline. Wherever they passed, the fields were filled with murders and rivers of blood flowed.
When the Ezo people crossed the Tone River and appeared on the land of Hitachi Kingdom, the entire Japanese kingdom was shocked...
Ji Shijun led the Ezo warriors to attack the city, burn, kill and loot, while Ji Shijun followed closely behind and recruited the warriors of all ethnic groups who came to rely on them. The Japanese have always been cruel and brutally suppressed foreign races, not just the Ezo people.
Instead of having a blood feud, the descendants of the other three Koreans and even sporadic Han descendants suffered greatly. At this time, seeing how powerful the Ezo people were, they came to rely on them one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the troops of more than a thousand Ezo people were incorporated into some foreign elites, and the number of people doubled out of thin air. The troops became stronger and more powerful! Sagami Kingdom mobilized two thousand Japanese soldiers and soldiers on the border to try to stop the Ezo people.
They made a sudden advance, but were defeated by the impact of the Ezo Allied Forces, allowing the latter to advance straight in.
The invincible Ezo people have become a nightmare for various feudal states. On the one hand, the upper and lower states, Kai, Izu and other countries urgently mobilized their troops to join forces to prepare to resist the Ezo people. On the other hand, they asked Asuka Kyo for help, hoping that the emperor would
We can send elite troops to destroy the Ezo people.
However, repeated urgent documents entering Asukakyo were like nothing, and the entire Gyeonggi Province, including His Majesty the Emperor, showed no response...
*****
Time goes back to the day when Prince Katsuragi left Asuka and headed north...
The Silla envoy arrived at Nambajin, abandoned the ship and landed, and headed directly to Asukakyo, accompanied by Japanese officials.
Many officials in Gyeonggi Province were dissatisfied.
Although the "Three Hans" were threatened by the Central Plains Dynasty, the mountains were high and the roads were far away. Unless the Central Plains Dynasty launched a large-scale conquest, they would not easily use weapons against them. However, the Japanese Kingdom and the "Three Hans" were only separated by a strait, and the army moved towards them.
The threat to the "Three Koreas" is far greater than that of the Central Plains Dynasty.
The Japanese were warlike and violent, and the "Three Hans" suffered greatly from them and suffered terribly. They could only pay tribute from time to time to show their submission in exchange for the Japanese to stop fighting...
However, this year, Silla actually sent Jin Chunqiu's son Jin Famin to pay tribute. This is extremely disrespectful!
However, when Jin Bomin came to Asukakyo after landing at Nambajin, instead of entering the palace to see His Majesty the Emperor immediately, he went directly to Asukaji Temple to visit Soga Ezo, who lived in seclusion there and practiced Zen in the morning and evening. There was a moment of silence in the court...
…
What are the people of Silla doing?
Do you really think that if you climb on the lap of the Tang people, you can treat the Japanese country as nothing?
But even if you don't take Japan into consideration, you still have to go to Soga Ezo instead of meeting His Majesty the Emperor...
This is to cause trouble.
Officials from both the DPRK and China kept silent and watched, wanting to see what tricks the Silla people were playing.
His Majesty the Emperor threw a cup in the Pangae Palace and cursed the Silla people for deliberately provoking life and death, but there was nothing he could do to Kim Bo-min. Logically speaking, his father Kim Chun-chu, as the powerful person in the Silla royal family, had nothing to do with Soga.
Ezo is a long-lasting friend. When Kim Bo-min came to Asukakyo, he first greeted Soga Ezo on behalf of his father, which was reasonable and reasonable. Secondly, now that Silla and the Tang Dynasty have formed an alliance, even if the Japanese country wanted to cure Kim Bo-min's crime, it would be with Silla.
Even if you fall out, you have to worry about the reaction of the Tang people.
Don’t think that the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty are far beyond your reach. Now there is a fleet occupying Sado Island and refusing to leave...
The deterrence of the Tang Dynasty is imminent even if it is far away across the ocean!

Jin Famin and Wang Xuance walked into Feiniao Temple, accompanied by their entourage.
This temple was built after Soga Ezo's father Soga Mazi made a great wish. It took two generations of father and son to hire many Goguryeo master architects. In the center of the temple, there are three golden halls guarding the pagoda, and there are houses on the front, back and left.
Continuous and magnificent.
Jin Famin and Wang Xuance first paid homage to the ten-foot-high all-copper Buddha in the main hall and offered incense. Then in the side hall, they saw the super powerful minister who had dominated the Japanese court for decades and supported three emperors with one hand.
Soga Ezo...
This old man who is over sixty years old is not as old as he imagined. He is wearing a gray monk's robe and snow-white silk stockings. He is kneeling on a futon. His thin body has a straight back and his long eyebrows are slightly slanted.
Falling down, with his bald head shaved, he looks like an enlightened monk.
Seeing Jin Famin and Wang Xuance entering the house one after another, Soga Ezo opened his eyelids, showed a kind smile, stretched out his skinny palm, and made a "please" gesture.
In front of him, there was a beautifully carved table with a set of ceramic tea sets on it. The aroma of tea was curling out from the ancient-shaped teapot.
Wang Xuance was stunned. The method of frying tea invented by the Marquis was really shocking. In just a few years, tea has become a necessity for all the upper classes in the world, vying to contribute more taxes to the Tang Dynasty.
Endow.
Of course, as the founder of the method of frying tea, the wealth flowing into Fang Jun's pocket is an astonishing astronomical figure...
Jin Famin saluted respectfully and said: "My nephew, on my father's order, came to pay my respects to my uncle."
Soga Ezo's thin face was filled with a kind and kind smile, he nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty, you are interested, please take a seat quickly."
Jin Famin did not take his seat as instructed...
Soga Ezo raised his snow-white eyebrows slightly, then looked at Wang Xuance who was following Jin Famin, but said nothing.
Wang Xuance bowed his head to the ground and said respectfully: "I am a junior official under the command of Marquis Huating of the Tang Dynasty. On the orders of my Marquis, I have come to pay a visit to my senior."
A glimmer of light flashed in Soga Ezo's seemingly cloudy old eyes, and he said calmly: "This is an honored guest, but I don't know why your Marquis sent you to see me since he stayed on Sado Island and refused to leave.
A dying man? If you think you can get a promise to cede Sado from me, you will be disappointed. I am almost dying of old age, and my words have long since ceased to count..."
It's not "I won't help you", it's "I've already said what I said, but it doesn't mean it". The difference seems to be small, but in fact it contains a mystery...
Wang Xuance's words are exquisite and clear. Just after hearing this sentence, he was already determined in his heart.
It seems that the struggle for power in the Japanese court has become fierce, and my mission this time will be easily completed...
