After the adjustment, the Tang Empire's Fusang policy was implemented with force as the mainstay, ordnance and economic control as the supplement, and alliance policy as the core.
In addition to the military plans that could be directly adjusted, the auxiliary ordnance and economic control plans were directly implemented. According to the orders of the Fuso Affairs Office of the Tang Dynasty, the supply of ordnance to Oda Nobunaga and the Miyoshi family was restricted, and at the same time, the supply of weapons to the Miyoshi family was increased.
Supplies arms to the Imagawa family, Yamato country and other powerful forces.
But it was just a restriction. The Tang Empire did not completely eliminate the supply of arms to Oda Nobunaga and the Miyoshi family.
At the same time, ordinary business dealings remain normal. After all, controlling the situation is all about controlling the situation, and you still can't make less money.
It’s just that whether it is military deterrence or control of ordnance and economy, they are only superficial plans, and they only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If they want to completely solve the Fuso problem, the Tang Empire plans to rely on the marriage plan, so the marriage plan is the real plan.
core plan.
Directly drain the population from under the cauldron and solve the Fuso problem once and for all.
As the Fusang Affairs Office of the Tang Dynasty, which is specifically responsible for Fusang affairs, it also formally established a subordinate organization called the 'Marriage Committee', which aims to provide a marriage introduction platform for unmarried men in the empire and unmarried women of Fusang, and help Fusang women travel far away.
Marry a native of the empire!
This organization is not even an official registered organization. It is just an ordinary organization under the Affairs Yamen. It was established by just finding an office and listing it. However, it has a lot of staff. Some officials were dispatched from the country, plus the Affairs Yamen itself and the
From some officials of the Ryukyu Prefecture, even when this organization was first established, it had an official establishment of more than a hundred people. This establishment scale is quite large for an organization overseas.
From this we can also see how seriously the Tang Empire attached importance to this matter!
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be accomplished independently by relying solely on the Fuso Affairs Office. It also requires the cooperation of relevant domestic institutions. However, the country has not made relevant preparations, so the early marriage partners will be from the military.
There are mainly single soldiers, especially those stationed in Fuso area.
After the Marriage Committee communicated with the military generals stationed in Ryukyu and Fuso areas, it was found that the military would naturally not hinder the matter of helping soldiers marry wives. It was just unclear whether the soldiers themselves were willing.
After all, being a soldier these days is still a relatively honorable thing within the Tang Empire, especially for children from farm families. If one person in the family serves as a soldier, it can basically directly improve the family's living standard and social status.
On the one hand, this is because the salary of soldiers is not low, and is higher than that of ordinary workers. In addition, after retirement, the military often arranges retired soldiers to work in various related agencies, such as tax inspection teams, patrol police offices, various
Bodyguard companies are enterprises affiliated to major state-owned enterprises.
Although it is no longer a policy to allocate land to those who have not joined the army, the arrangements after retirement are still relatively good. After retiring, many soldiers often return directly to their hometowns to work as patrol officers.
It's quite a respectable job.
In this case, military personnel have a relatively high status in civilian society and occupy a relatively large advantage in the marriage market.
Often when a poor boy is just selected to join the army, a matchmaker will come to his door.
Coupled with the widespread early marriage in China, a large number of people get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and soldiers are no exception. Many soldiers are already married before joining the army. Even if they are not married before joining the army, they will get engaged quickly and return home after vacation.
Get married directly when you get home.
Therefore, there are actually not many single soldiers in the military today.
But there are always some!
In addition, in addition to marrying a wife directly, you can also take concubines!
Although the Tang Empire established monogamy, it did not legally recognize polygamy. Except for the concubine before the eighth year of Xuanping, the empire considered it a de facto marriage and gave the woman certain guarantees. The empire did not recognize the concubine after the eighth year of Xuanping.
At the same time, the law does not recognize the title and property inheritance rights of illegitimate children.
But the law is the law, and tradition is tradition. There are still a large number of concubines among the people, but they are all concubines, lovers, and the like.
The tradition is like this, and the official does not intend to impose a ban. As long as you have the ability, no one will say anything to you if you have ten or eight wives. However, the law does not recognize it. The woman can leave if she wants, and the man has no protection at all.
After consultation with the military, a large-scale blind date conference was planned. The marriage committee was responsible for organizing a group of Fuso women to go on blind dates with single soldiers from the military.
In August, it is midsummer, and it is steaming in Osumi County. However, in the large open space outside the port of Osumi County, it is a festive scene. In this area, there are many big red lanterns, paper and other hangings.
, and on one side, a large group of Tang Army and Navy soldiers lined up and wearing military uniforms were waiting to enter.
This group of single soldiers organized by the military may not be single, but there are about two hundred soldiers pretending to be single. They are the ones organized by the military to go on a blind date.
On the other side, there are more than 300 Fuso women. Compared with domestic women, these Fuso women are generally shorter in height, but they are all young women, between fourteen and twenty years old.
.
Mainly from Kyushu Island across the strait, the marriage committee recruited young women from several colonies.
Today, they came for a blind date. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all hoped to find a husband today.
To be more precise, it’s the husband of the Tang Dynasty!
Since this was the first time for this kind of event to be held, the Marriage Committee was very cautious and selected all the women who were of clean financial status and whose appearance and figure were not considered ugly.
These women all came voluntarily and were not forced at all.
In fact, when Fuso women were recruited for a blind date and it was stated that the blind date was an active soldier of the Tang Army and Navy, there were not only 300 Fuso women who signed up, but more than a thousand!
Don’t doubt it, there are more than a thousand people!
Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are very popular in the domestic marriage market, let alone in the small Fusang. After these Fusang people came into contact with the Tang Dynasty, most of them were full of longing for the Tang Dynasty, yearning for a rich and full life.
A place to eat!
Therefore, when the news came out, Fuso women were very traditional and docile, but in order to change their own destiny, many people came to sign up, and many even secretly ran away from home to sign up.
Of course, most of the people who signed up were Fuso women from poor families. As for Fuso women from middle- and upper-class families, they would naturally not do this.
Why do these Fuso women from poor families sign up so enthusiastically, and even come secretly to sign up? This is because even though these women have little knowledge, they know that this may be their best chance to change their own destiny.
Without this opportunity, many of them would actually not be able to escape the fate of being sold by their families!
Selling sons and daughters was a normal thing during wartime, and Fuso has always had this tradition. In the Meiji Era of later generations, even during World War I and World War II, the vast rural areas of Fuso still had
The phenomenon of selling daughters is very serious.
During this period, what often happened was that a pair of young men and women from poor families fell in love with each other. The boy studied hard for the future and was admitted to Imperial College or Imperial University. But at this time, when he returned to his hometown, he wanted to
When you marry the girl you like, you often find that the girl you like has disappeared.
After being sad for a period of time, they will work hard and achieve a certain degree of success in their careers. Then one day when they are visiting the green building, they will find that their teenage dream lover works in this green building.
That scene is simply disappointing!
Not to mention Fusang, in fact, in the pre-Ming Dynasty and other traditional dynasties, it was common for poor families to sell their children, daughters or even their wives once there was a man-made disaster in the Tianzhai.
Sometimes, children are sold not for money, but just so that their children can survive!
If this is sold, although the children will become slaves and servants, lose their freedom, and may suffer various kinds of beatings and other fates, at least some of them will stutter in a wealthy family. With good luck, they can always survive.
But if you don't sell it, you will have to starve to death.
Today's Fuso, the situation is even more serious!
Not to mention selling sons and daughters, even if you are sold, you may not survive. In the war era, it was really unfriendly to the old, weak, women and children, and it was not easy to survive!
The war that has lasted for many years has resulted in fighting almost everywhere on the Fuso Islands!
War has led to unstable food production, and a large reduction in population is inevitable. In addition to the young and middle-aged people who were killed or injured in the war, most of the reduced population are actually old, weak, women and children.
At this time, it was rumored that there was a channel for them to marry to the Tang Dynasty. How could they not be willing?
Trying to change their living standards through marriage is a common understanding of many women, regardless of ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries!
Not to mention the fusang in ancient times, even in China in the early 21st century, there are countless women who have gone to great lengths to marry in the West or the East.
If a foreign loser goes to China to work as a foreign teacher, there will be a lot of women surrounding him and all kinds of backstabbing, just to let him take her abroad...
Going abroad is their lifelong pursuit. Even if they marry an old foreign man in their late teens and early 80s and suffer domestic violence every day, they are still very happy!
Well, they think the moon abroad is rounder!
Of course, women who think that the moon in foreign countries is rounder are only a minority, just like those men who think about going abroad every day, even if it is to serve dishes abroad, they are only a minority.
Today's Fusang people generally think that the moon in the Tang Dynasty is rounder!
However, today's Fusang women cannot be compared with the few Chinese women in the early 21st century, because these Fusang women who want to marry to the Tang Dynasty are still very pure!
