Everyone walked into the camp, and at this moment, they were surrounded by Han soldiers. If Cao Cao wanted to, he could kill them at any time. He admired the courage of this king in his heart. Taishi Ci knelt in the middle, and Cao Cao sat beside him.
On the other side, the king also sat on the other side of Tai Shici in a decent manner, and the maid stood behind him, her head bowed tightly.
Taishi Ci called the translator over, asked him to stand beside him, looked at the king, and asked: "Are you the king of Yamatai?"
The translator immediately translated.
The man nodded and said: "I am the king of Yamatai Kingdom..."
"What is your relationship with the Wonu Kingdom?"
"We...we have been at war with them for many years..."
"How many people do you have?"
"One king, hundreds of officials, tens of thousands of subordinates, hundreds of thousands of students..."
After the translator truthfully reported, Taishi Ci was a little stunned and asked with some confusion: "Shengkou?"
The translator said: "Slaves!" Taishi Ci turned to look at Cao Cao, his eyes full of shock. The whole country is a slave? What a stupid system this is. However, he did not say anything more, but asked again
Some other information about the other party came up. In this place, which is generally called Japanese, there are hundreds of small countries, and Yamatai is the strongest among them. Of course, this is what the other party said, and Taishi Ci is not sure.
Among these countries, the enemy of Yamatai is the Japanese slave country that once visited the Han emperor. There is also another country called the dog slave country. This is really not Taishici's curse, but that this country worships the dog god, so it is called the dog slave country in the original name.
It has the meaning of the obedient dog, and the translator directly translated it into the dog slave country. These two countries have always been enemies of Yamatai.
And Yamatai obviously knows about the existence of the Han. According to their king, they have never been able to completely destroy the Japanese slave kingdom because of the existence of the Han. Their king still retains the golden seal of the Han, but at that time the Japanese
When the slave country went to the Han Dynasty, he was the most powerful in the entire Japanese country. He brought back news about the Han Dynasty and some things given to him by the emperor of the Han Dynasty at that time.
These things made many small countries of the Japanese country understand in their hearts that there was an extremely powerful country overseas. The entire Japanese country combined was not as good as the land under the jurisdiction of a single official. Over the years, after Yamatai gradually became stronger, it has been
They all have the idea of going to the Han Dynasty like the Japanese slaves in the past. They also want to obtain the canonization of the Han Dynasty, so that it will be easier for them to command other countries.
They were still preparing to meet the Han general. Unexpectedly, the Han man sent people over first. Therefore, they also respectfully paid homage to the Han general. After chatting for a long time, Taishi Ci understood their thoughts and turned his head.
, looked at Cao Cao, smiled and asked: "How does Cao Cao think he should act?"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looked at the other side's maid, and said coldly: "Send them out, then kill them directly and slaughter Yamatai!"
Suddenly, a look of panic appeared on the maid's face, and she quickly hid it again, but it could not escape Cao Cao's eyes. Cao Cao looked at the translator, who had a strange expression on his face, looked at the king, and said:
"You can go back..."
The king smiled, nodded, and was about to stand up, but the maid stretched out her hand and pushed him down. She raised her head, looked directly at Cao Cao, and said, "Because I don't know the situation of the general, I hid it from the general.
I hope the general will forgive me!"
The translator was shocked. Even Taishi Ci was stunned. When he was with Cao Cao, Taishi Ci always couldn't understand the situation. Cao Cao laughed. The "king" immediately stood up and stood behind the maid. Cao Cao touched her.
He wore a beard and said: "Are you the queen of Yamatai? Or the queen mother? Where is the king?"
"I call you Hemihu, and she is the queen of Yamatai." The queen said in a possessed voice.
Cao Cao looked at her suspiciously, looked at her for a moment, and then said with some disdain: "A woman is actually in charge of the country..." Looking at the younger, ordinary-looking woman in front of him, Cao Cao did not hide his disdain.
, Himihu was not angry, she lowered her head and said nothing. Cao Cao asked her to sit down, and she just sat opposite Cao Cao.
And the fake king was kicked out by her. According to her, she would not meet any men in the country. She only had thousands of palace maids and the eunuch just now, who was here to respect the big man this time.
Cao Cao did not completely believe her words, so he thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to pay homage to the emperor and receive the golden seal?"
"Exactly! I am devoted to the Han Dynasty!"
"How many vassals do you have?"
"There are thirty vassal states, but only the Dog Slave Kingdom and the Japanese Slave Kingdom disobey orders..."
"Well, okay, I'm not marching here to do any harm to you, but to open up trade... If you want to meet the emperor, I can take you to Luoyang, but, in
Before that...you still need to help me with a few things..."
"Mr. Cao, it's okay to say so..."
"Send people to those small countries and ask all their kings to come. I want to communicate with the entire Japanese country, not just you Yamatai... Even the Japanese slave country and the dog slave country, you can also call me
...." Cao Cao gave her many instructions, and then ended the meeting. Himihu left here respectfully, and invited Cao Cao to go. Cao Cao was not afraid, and left Tai Shici to take care of the ship.
He went there with a thousand soldiers.
Taishi Ci also wanted to send more troops, but Cao Cao refused. He was asked to take care of the surrounding ships, so he and Himihu went to their royal city. While walking on the road, Cao Cao kept observing the surroundings. There was a lot of cultivated land in Yamatai.
They are mainly based on paddy fields. They know how to plant rice, raise silkworms, plant mulberry trees, and weave linen and silk brocades. Most of their soldiers' weapons are wooden bows and iron arrows. In terms of trade, they have become a state-owned market.
However, there are a lot of slaves among their population. Slaves are called raw people. Each household can have two or three slaves, not to mention doctors and the like. These slaves are extremely short in stature and have dark complexions.
With dull eyes, they were plowing on the farmland. Their master was patrolling around with a long whip in his hand. If anyone slacked even a little bit, he would come forward and beat them severely.
Cao Cao looked at the scene here and frowned, wondering what he was thinking about.
They arrived at their royal city, which was called Yamatai City. Although this city was not as big as a large county like Luoyang, it was comparable in size to the county towns in areas such as Lelang District, and the number of people increased accordingly.
After seeing the queen's carriage, these doctors and servants hurriedly paid their respects to her one by one. The way they paid their respects was also somewhat similar to the etiquette of a big man.
The queen returned to the palace, and Cao Cao was received by her personally. Cao Cao looked around and said with a smile, "I am the first man to enter the palace?"
The Queen smiled and said: "That's not the case. All ministers can come in. I also have a younger brother who works together to govern. There are no men among the palace maids."
"Well..." Cao Cao nodded, and the queen randomly summoned the ministers, which were the big Japanese in each country. The so-called big Japanese were the princes similar to the Han Dynasty, and the queen was the co-owner of these big Japanese.
The queen is a very capable queen. She established an official position called Da Su and went to various countries to supervise and collect taxes. In her heart, she always wanted to completely integrate many and unify them.
Unfortunately, the situation of numerous countries is not something she can change. Although Yamatai is strong now, it cannot defeat the coalition forces of other countries. At the banquet, Himihu deliberately revealed his thoughts to Cao Cao,
Cao Cao understood what she meant. She hoped that the big man could help her and unify the entire Japanese country. Cao Cao pretended to be drunk and made the maids around him laugh, and ignored Himihu.
That night, Himihu sent three maids to serve Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao was a little tired, he lay on the bed, frowning, and thinking in his mind. If the big man wanted to trade with the Japanese country more conveniently, then naturally, a unified Japanese country would be better. Everything has a system.
He would not run around among hundreds of small countries and make a mess. However, if he integrated the Japanese country, he would have to worry that the Japanese country would become stronger and pose a danger to the eastern part of the Han Dynasty.
This place is different from Dongyi. According to Himihu, the population of the Japanese country is more than one million. Cao Cao thinks that it should be around two million. Of course, Luoyang County of the Han Dynasty has a population of one million, but in Dongyi
, the population of the Han Dynasty in the Sanhan region is less than one million. If the Japanese country fully introduces various technologies of the Han Dynasty and becomes civilized, it may pose a threat to the eastern region, especially the Sanhan region.
What's more, if you want to help Yamatai integrate the Japanese countries, the Han Dynasty will have to send troops. No matter how powerful the Han Dynasty is, it is impossible for all those small countries to surrender. There will inevitably be a war, and the war will consume the military strength of the Han Dynasty. This is also certain.
But what if the Japanese state is integrated, similar to the three Koreas, and then a state minister is established to continuously suppress and weaken it?
They do not regard the living beings as human beings, so can they bring these living beings back to Sanhan and enrich the population there? Today, Sanhan and Donghao have a lot of fertile fields, but they suffer from insufficient population. They bring too many people there.
Will it have any impact on the local area? Cao Cao had many things to think about. In this foreign trade, he no longer simply focused on the other party's copper, iron, gold and silver.
He took a fancy to the abundant raw materials in the opponent's hands. According to the other party's attitude towards the raw materials, it would be extremely easy to exchange them. But if he wanted to control this place under the influence of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty's coastal navy would
It must be very powerful, it must have the kind of military power that the opponent cannot catch up with in a hundred years, so that Cao Cao can safely help Yamatai unify the Japanese country.
However, it is useless for Cao Cao to think about it. He cannot decide these things by himself. These things still need the consent of the fat man in Luoyang City before they can be carried out. Even at night, Cao Cao is extremely cautious. In this foreign country, he
We must not be careless, including the soldiers he brought with him, who also patrolled in batches and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Just outside the door of Cao Cao's dormitory, two thousand Han troops stood, patrolling back and forth, praising Cao Cao's strength in their hearts.
After Cao Cao fell asleep, Himihu summoned the ministers to discuss the matter of sending envoys to various countries. She seemed a little worried, frowned and said: "No matter what, let them come, that is, send money."
, we must let them come..."
"Why should your Majesty be so worried? If they don't come, it's good that we can use the help of the Han to destroy them, especially the Gounu and Wonu countries. They will definitely not come if we think about it. When the time comes, we will use the help of the Han
, destroy him..." The minister said excitedly, and the other ministers nodded in agreement. They have deep conflicts with these two countries, and it would be best if the big man can help them deal with each other.
Himihu said angrily: "You are stupid. Although they are enemies of us, they are also one of the Japanese countries. Now the Han Dynasty has come, but there is no land. If we surrender, he will definitely not be able to occupy the land of the Japanese country.
Cannibalizing, but if so, these other countries do not come, but it gives him a reason to march. If he leads his army to occupy it, wouldn't that land become a bridgehead for the Han army? "
Hearing Himihu's words, those ministers came back to their senses. Their eyes were full of worry. Some ministers worriedly asked: "What will happen if they don't come?"
"Sending many envoys, whether they kill them, fight them out, or send envoys one after another, they will always have doubts in their hearts. Even if they don't come themselves, they will definitely send someone to come... Sigh..."
In fact, as Himiko expected, many small countries, after seeing Yamatai’s repeated invitations, sent their ministers to participate. As for those small countries headed by Yamatai, their big Japanese
Among the countries that came in person, only the Dog Slave Kingdom in the south, a country that worshiped the dog god, did not accept Yamatai's invitation.
Although the Japanese slaves were not on friendly terms with Yamatai, when they heard that the Han general was coming, they immediately got up and went to Yamatai because they were the only ones in the entire Japanese kingdom who had been canonized by the Han emperor and had the golden seal.
Yes, they are the vassal states of the Han Dynasty overseas, and they are bound to come. Their king personally leads all the ministers to come to this enemy's country in a mighty manner.
In his heart, Himihu was extremely anxious about the affairs of the Gounu Kingdom. If this country continued to delay coming, Cao Cao would probably use force against him. The place where the Gounu Kingdom was located was bordered by many small countries along the coast.
Even Yamatai is bordering him. If the Han Dynasty occupied this place, it would definitely have an impact on the surrounding areas in the future.
Little did she know that Cao Cao had had this idea in his mind from the beginning. Even if he wanted to help Himihu unify the Japanese country, the Han Dynasty would still have to occupy one of the lands and station troops there. This would also control the situation of the entire Japanese country and continuously strengthen the Han's influence on the Japanese country.
Influence.
At this time, the king of the Wonu Kingdom rushed to the Yamatai Kingdom and asked to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao received the king in the Yamatai Palace. He saw this man wearing Hanfu, wearing a prince's crown, and a gold seal around his waist.
After Cao Cao came forward, he came forward and said: "Officials of the Han Dynasty, the Japanese King Hu Yi, pay homage to the general!"
"Oh? Are you Huyi?"
"I am correct, my ancestor was canonized by Emperor Xiao Guangwu, and he will be the king of Japan in this era!"
"Hahaha, your elegant words are not bad at all..."
"The Emperor once bestowed upon our ancestors the Poetry, the Rites, the Yi, and the Spring and Autumn Annals. Our descendants have continued to study them...making the general laugh..." The Japanese king said excitedly, and Cao Cao nodded,
Glancing sideways at Himihu, I understood in my heart why she was able to know Yayan. It turned out that Han Confucian classics had already appeared and spread in this Japanese country...
