Chapter 1821 A gift from God? Three pieces of rags
"You said that the Ezo people conquered Mutsu, Musashi and other countries, marched eastward along the seaside, and have now reached Asuka Kyo?"
Sumarishi stared at his son, wondering if this kid was talking nonsense.
Honshu Island was originally the place where the ancestors of the Ezo people lived, but since the rise of Yamato, the indigenous Ezo people have been brutally and persecuted for hundreds of years, and they were finally driven down the sea to escape to the ice-covered Ezo Island.
Continuous ethnic group.
The Ezo people were brave and warlike, but due to their nomadic characteristics, their population was not prosperous. Although there were several large-scale resistances during this period, they were all suppressed due to the sparse population.
For more than a hundred years, the Ezo people have long accepted their fate and made a living in the ice and snow of Ezo Island. Even if the Japanese gradually conquered the island in pursuit of Ezo Island's mineral deposits, they did not see any extreme behavior by the Ezo people. After the occasional counterattack was defeated,
, and they were all willing to be enslaved by the Japanese...
How could he suddenly resist and be able to conquer cities and defeat Mutsu, Musashi and other countries along the way?
You need to know that among the many feudal kingdoms of the Japanese Kingdom, the Mutsu Kingdom is vast, the Musashi Kingdom is prosperous and prosperous, and both countries are powerful. How could they be defeated one by one by the dolphin-like Ezo people?
Minta Soga looked confused and said: "I don't know what happened, but now it is a fact that Iga was defeated. A coalition of thousands of Ezo people and bandits has reached the border and can cross the mountains in less than two days.
Directly to Asukahara."
Sumarishi has a crazy desire to curse.
What are you doing?
What's wrong with our Suga family being plotted against by the royal family and only then rising up to resist?
How about a wave of feudal coalition forces on the left and a wave of Ezo coalition forces on the right, bullying everyone in turn?
Are you going to let people live?
Although they defeated the allied forces of feudal states, the current situation is still grim. Since the Ezo people can defeat Mutsu, Musashi and other countries head-on, their combat power must be strong. Although it is not known how this combat power suddenly increased, but based on Su
My family is currently losing troops and generals, and I am afraid that it is unable to resist.
Sumama had no choice but to say: "Go to Namba Tsu and ask the Tang people to send troops to help us resist the Ezo people."
This is the only and best way.
only……
Suga Mingtai said with a bitter face: "The Tang people are greedy. The last time they resisted the allied forces of various feudal states, they had already opened treaty ports and allowed the Tang people to mine in the territory of Japan. I don't know what excessive demands they will make this time."
"So what? If you want to ask for help from others, then you will definitely be at the mercy of others. As long as you survive this period of time, the situation will be stable after you successfully ascend the throne. Then we will slowly pursue it. Now let them ask for whatever they want.
Everyone agrees. In addition, listen to what the Tang people say to see if the 'Three Divine Weapons' really fell into their hands."
Sumarishi closed his eyes, feeling that the darkness in front of him seemed boundless. When he was slightly dizzy, a feeling of exhaustion came over him.
After all, he is old...
The loss of the "Three Divine Weapons" is already an unforgivable crime. A more serious crime than losing the "Three Divine Weapons" is to let it fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty...
Suga Mingtao said hurriedly: "Yes, my son is leaving for Namba Tsu immediately, and he also asks his father to take care of himself. Although the situation is unfavorable at the moment, as long as we get through it, the light will surely return. When he ascends the throne of the emperor and announces it to the world, my father is
The hero of our family for generations to come."
Suama Lishi cheered up and thought that what his son said made sense. Didn't the Han people say that "when heaven is going to give a great responsibility to a person, he must first harden his mind." Maybe this is the test given by Amaterasu Omikami?
"You go and come back quickly. If the Ezo people really come to attack, my father will stop the soldiers from joining the battle, but it probably won't be delayed for long, so remember this."
"yes!"
Minta Soga and his entourage left Asukakyo overnight and went straight to Nambazu.

"What the hell is this?"
In the monastery of Namba Tsutennoji Temple, Shun Fang asked the soldiers to open the box they brought back and weigh how much gold there was. However, he saw the soldiers taking out several rags from a box.
A piece of ancient jade that is half green and half hundred, dark in color and shaped like a "C", a broken bronze mirror with tortoise cracks on the back and engraved with auspicious patterns such as pine, bamboo, plum, turtle and crane on the back, and a handle with a golden blade wrapped around it.
A big sword that is oiled but has some thoughts at first glance...
The soldiers were also confused. Someone said: "It looks like it is broken, but since it can be placed together with gold, it cannot be said to be an ancient artifact from the previous dynasty?"
Fang Jun stepped forward to take a look and waved his hand casually: "What an antique. Antiques are not valuable these days... Besides, the Japanese country is so poor that they don't even have a serious history book. Antiquities without historical significance have a hair."
Use? Take it away quickly and throw it away."
"Here!"
The soldier took off his clothes and rolled up these three rags, and was about to take them out and throw them away. However, he hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly: "How about... the Marquis gives these things to me? I will always give them to you."
I feel like maybe it’s not just junk, but it might also be worth some money.”
Someone on the left and right laughed and said: "That's fine, but later the Marquis will reward you based on your merits, so your share will only be topped by these rags."
When the soldier heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "I just saw that this thing is a bit rare. How can it be compared with the reward from the Marquis? I will never change it! But the hilt of the sword is wrapped with gold thread, so the Marquis will reward it."
Are you humble?"
Fang Jun waved his hand and told him to get out of here.
The soldier put a few pieces of rags under his ribs and walked out.
When he arrived at the door, he met Jin Famin who walked in quickly and almost bumped into him. The soldiers quickly stepped back and bowed to apologize. Although this man was not from the Tang Dynasty, he was treated with courtesy by his own marquis and could not be treated lightly.
Jin Famin said "Oh", waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, and walked into the house. He just took a step, suddenly turned around, stared at the soldier who had just turned around, and asked: "What are you holding?"
The rags were wrapped in clothes, but the sword was a bit long, and part of the hilt wrapped with gold wire was exposed, and Jin Famin saw it.
"I found a few things in the gold box, and the Marquis ordered me to throw them away."
The soldier stopped and replied.
"Oh? Let me take a look."
"Here."
The soldier lifted up his wrapped clothes and let Jin Famin take a closer look.
Jin Famin was just curious. After taking a look, he didn't see anything valuable. He thought that the Japanese were really shabby, putting three pieces of tatters with ideas together with gold...
Uh...three pieces of rags?
Jin Famin's heart suddenly moved, a mirror, a piece of Magatite, a big sword...
Oh my god!
Could it be the "Three Divine Weapons" that were the sacred objects of the Japanese emperor?
He quickly called the soldier back, took the three pieces of rags from his hand, brought them to Fang Jun, and said, "Master Marquis, have you ever heard of the Japanese Emperor's 'Three Sacred Weapons'?"
Fang Jun was stunned, three artifacts?
He had heard about it in his previous life, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It seemed that one of them was a Kusanagi sword, but it had been lost long ago... but he knew the meaning of the "Three Divine Weapons".
It is said that when Tiansun came, Amaterasu Daimikami granted Qiongqiongchuzun three artifacts, which were inherited by Japanese emperors from generation to generation.
These three artifacts have always been regarded as tokens of the Japanese royal family and are worshiped by the people...
The Japanese are a rigid and rigid nation, and it is extremely difficult to accept new things. They will enthusiastically maintain and inherit everything they are familiar with. There are endless reform events in the history of various countries around the world, but the Japanese reform was very difficult, so there were only a few
Successful reforms are naturally written about in great detail and praised to the fullest.
The history of the Japanese Kingdom was in chaos. Since there was no writing in the early days, we could only rely on word of mouth. Can what we say be accurate? Of course, it came and went, and it was passed down from hand to hand, and it became a myth. So the history of the world
The most unique scene in the world has appeared. There is actually a nation that seriously regards the myths passed down from ancient times as national history, and firmly believes in it...
Since we believe that the words in myths are not lies, we naturally worship the "Three Divine Weapons" given by the gods and regard them as tokens of gods. The emperor is the son of Amaterasu Omikami and is its spokesperson in the human world.
"Brother Jin is saying that these three pieces of rags are the 'Three Divine Weapons' of the Japanese?"
Fang Jun stared in disbelief.
"The Kusanagi Sword, the Eight-foot Magatama, and the Eight-tatami Mirror...I have never seen the true appearance of the 'Three Divine Weapons'. In fact, except for the Emperor himself, very few people have seen it, but take a look at these...
…Ragged boy, doesn’t it fit in well?”
A sword, a piece of jade, a mirror... If it's just a coincidence, it's hard to explain, right?
