Chapter 49 Matsuo Basho

The Qing army continued to retreat, huddled in Liaoyang, and fortified Shenyang on the front line. At the same time, it moved a large number of Han people to the Korean Peninsula and resettled their households.

The Eight Banners soldiers escorted millions of Han people who had been kidnapped from all over the pass. They tied ropes through their palms and pulled dozens of them forward. It was autumn and winter, and the weather in the Northeast was so cold that it made people breathless. , most of these coated Ahabs only have a single layer of clothing to cover their bodies, and they will often freeze to death in the vast snowy fields.

Slowly white mountains and black waters, endless forests and snowfields, mountain cities, and glaciers, along the way, there are more than a hundred thousand corpses lying on their heads.

On the frozen Yalu River, North Korean rebels occasionally broke out and fought with the Eight Banners Army escorting the slaves. Many Han Chinese who were not willing to freeze to death in the snow also took the opportunity to rise up. They cut trees into soldiers and seized the opportunity. Ma rushed to kill, and many old people who had been resigned to being slaves for more than ten years also showed up with their last courage.

Fierce battles, riots, struggles, and battles are taking place in every corner of Liaodong.

For the Liao people, the winter of the fourth year of Tianfa was both the light before dawn and the cruel darkness at the last moment.

Blood flowed across the battlefield, and the battlefield was so vast that it completely covered every inch of land in Northeast Asia.

After Zhang Guowu joined forces with the Liaodong Dao Corps in Haizhou, he had the honor to meet Liu Guogong, who was very prestigious among the Shun army.

He made an impassioned speech, requesting that the Qing cavalry should abandon Liaoyang, Shenyang, Tieling, and Fushun, and instead drive eastward to Yalu, and then go south to pursue the main force of the Qing army that fled to Korea.

Liu Fangliang also felt that this was a replica of the time when the Qing army withdrew from the pass. At that time, he chased the North with 8,000 cavalry and rescued more than 100,000 Han people.

Today, the Dashun army is stronger and more powerful than it was back then. It will not allow Jin Fulin and the good kings and ministers of the Jin Dynasty to succeed in their plans.

The light cavalry troops of the Shun Army set off quickly. Their pursuit was extremely fast, traveling hundreds of miles day and night. After occupying the deserted Phoenix City, they pursued them all the way to Yiju.

The Qing army left many defenders on the banks of the Yalu River, and Zhang Guowu fought hard. After a fierce and bloody battle on the river, due to the tight defenses of the Qing army, the pursuing troops were mainly light cavalry and did not have many troops, so they returned in defeat.

At that time, Zhang Guowu looked at the Yalu River and sighed:

"I cannot cross this river to pursue the captives, otherwise I will cause the captives' troubles to spread to several vassals overseas."

He hit the nail on the head and unfortunately hit the mark on the direction of subsequent historical development.

When the Qing army was retreating steadily on the Korean Peninsula, Jin Daishan's military front finally turned to Japan. In order to regain a foothold and to implement its strategy of "loss in the north and make up for in the south", the Qing army launched a brazen attack on the Tokugawa shogunate. Total War.

This war between Japan and Qing Dynasty lasted for nearly ten years. The Qing army spread across Kyushu, China, and Kinki, killing the people for no reason. The shogunate samurai who had been in peace for many years could not resist the elite Eight Banners who had fought hundreds of battles. Lien Chan A losing streak and countless losses of troops and ground.

So much so that the famous Qing army general Moro Luo uttered the wild words "There are millions of soldiers in Guandong, but not one of them is a man."

It was not until the later stages of the war that the Shun Army sent troops to assist at the request of the shogunate, joined the war, aided Japan in conquering the Qing Dynasty, and copied the Eight Banners Army's base camp on Kyushu Island, which changed the war situation.

But even so, because the Qing army managed Kumamoto Castle well, the Sun-Japanese coalition still spent a full eight months besieging it. After more than 200,000 coalition troops lost tens of thousands of troops, they finally conquered this impenetrable castle.

The last city where the Manchus fell.

As a result, this nation that once made waves on the East Asian continent and caused countless wars, disputes and disasters has completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

As for after that, because the Shun army had been entrenched in Nagasaki Port for a long time and insisted on not retreating, the Tokugawa shogunate demanded a full 20 million taels of Qing silver. The two countries continued to have diplomatic disputes. Because Li Laiheng opened his mouth and demanded the money

The money to support the war effort was completely beyond the Tokugawa shogunate's ability to bear, and the diplomatic dispute eventually evolved into a large-scale war.

At the end of the devastation of the Sino-Japanese War, the Tokugawa Shogunate had not yet recuperated and rested with the people, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out.

The young fourth-generation shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna was born with a weak body and was often bedridden. He was unable to control the government, causing the shogunate's power to decline day by day.

This war finally sounded the death knell of the shogunate rule. In just three years, the shogunate rule was completely destroyed. Emperor Gosaiin was also captured to Tokyo and was named the Lord of Yingzhou.

After that, the feudal lords belonging to the Tokugawa line, such as the Gosan family, Gosanqing, Ichimen and other princes and lords, were all wiped out by the Shun army. The heirs of each family were also sent to Tokyo one after another, and were awarded the titles of earl, viscount, and baron.

, all the territories of the Tokugawa shogunate were reorganized into camps directly under the direct control of the Shun Dynasty garrison, and the remaining territories were divided and occupied by princes of different surnames from all over Japan.

After that, the entire territory of Japan was renamed Yingzhou. During the initial period of military control of camps, the Yingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office unified the military and administrative affairs of the entire territory of Yingzhou.

The first Grand Governor was Chen Xin, and the second Grand Governor was Chen Yonghua, who was the former chief executive of Nanyang Yanping Company.

During their tenure, both of them pursued the policy of "promoting culture and education" and built a large number of schools in Yingzhou. They also encouraged the children of princes and famous people to enter school and receive education. They combined education with the selection of talents, which led to the emergence of "Hanhe Convergence" in Yingzhou.

", the cultural integration trend of "Confucianism and Buddhism combined".

In the thirty-fourth year of Tianfa, when Chen Yonghua passed away, the imperial court abolished the establishment of the Yingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office and divided Yingzhou into two provinces and one governor's office. Kyushu and Shikoku were divided into counties and counties for Penglai Province, and China and Kinki were divided into counties and counties for Penglai Province.

The abbot province and the Kanto area were restructured into the Dongyingzhou Dudufu.

However, in general, it is customary to call Penglai Province Nanyingzhou, Fangzhang Province called Xiyingzhou, and the old land of Kanto called Dongyingzhou. When they are collectively called, they are generally called Yingzhou or Sanying, the land of three seas.

Yingzhou was originally quite densely populated, but after the ravages of the Japanese-Qing War and the Shun-Japanese War, the population decreased by nearly one-third. After that, in order to consolidate the Shun Dynasty's rule over the Yingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office and implement the camp system,

Many low-intensity repressive wars were carried out, causing serious damage to many areas.

Therefore, after the war, the Shun Dynasty carried out large-scale immigration activities from Shandong, Liaoning, Lelang, and Xiongjin provinces, making Yingzhou an area where Han, Korean, Jurchen, and He ethnic groups lived together.

.

The national fusion culture of "the fusion of Han and Han" and "the merging of Confucianism and Buddhism" also created a cultural movement called "Er Chen New Style" in later generations on the land of Yingzhou.

Since Yingzhou was under the rule of two governors, Chen Xin and Chen Yonghua, this period of cultural integration was called the "Two Chen New Styles". The representative figure was the great poet who created the new literary form "Liange".

Poet and playwright Matsuo Basho.

Lien Ge was based on Chinese poetry, incorporating elements of haiku and harmony, emphasizing the comic effect of poetry, and later developed into a drama form. Many Yingzhou poets who failed to succeed in the metropolitan governor's office turned to drama creation.

In order to relieve their confusion and misery about the current situation, they created a large number of comedy scripts with a nihilistic color, and finally imported them to the mainland, leading the temporary cultural trend in Shun Dynasty.

In the twelfth year of Shunxiaozong's reign, Matsuo Basho was invited by the great poet Shen Deqian to set foot on the mainland of the motherland for the first time and visited famous mountains and rivers. He later died of illness in Suiyezhou.
