Everyone got off the boat and entered the Japanese Nu City under the leadership of Yili and some officials from the academy.
Chen Mu had seen Japanese people before. Japanese people had frequent exchanges with Koreans, and many Japanese people even settled in North Korea. Therefore, it was not new to see these strange Japanese people. It was only his first time in Fukuoka, so he looked around to see the scenery.
.
However, it was the first time for the high-ranking nobles of the Han Dynasty, such as Queen Yang Biao and Lu Qiang, to come to such a low-level foreign country. The Han people, who had been civilized for two to three thousand years, seemed to see a society they had never seen before, and it was full of interesting things.
The group of people looked around, asking questions like curious babies. Yi Li and many academy officials also answered one by one, explaining the situation here to Queen Yang Biao, Lu Qiang and others.
In fact, Japan during the Yayoi period was almost in the transition period from primitive society to feudal society. Agricultural development was a primary farming civilization, equivalent to our early Western Zhou Dynasty. Ironware was not yet fully popularized, and bronzes and ceramics were mostly used.
People go out wearing clothes that can be described as tatters. A family of several people may only have one piece of clothing, which is patched and patched. There are holes everywhere. Most people don’t even have clothes to wear, and every one of them has a tattoo on their face.
He has fancy tattoos and is as black and skinny as a monkey.
This was the result of governance by officials sent from Qingzhou, because according to the records of "Book of the Later Han" and "Three Kingdoms", Japan at that time could not even plant mulberry and raise silkworms. On the contrary, North Korea was already in the Iron Age because of many immigrants from Qingzhou.
, the breeding industry and the mulberry and hemp industry are also relatively developed, and many Japanese tribal nobles need to go to North Korea to buy cavalry ceramics and linen and silk clothes.
Therefore, if there were no officials sent from Qingzhou to govern, most people here would not be able to eat, wear clothes, and suffer from long-term malnutrition. Only high-ranking officials can guarantee the basic quality of life. According to tribal customs at this time, the people's faces would
Running around the streets with tattoos and bare buttocks is like this in the city, let alone in the mountains and forests.
Of course, the so-called cities are only compared to the current situation in Japan. If according to the standards of the Han Dynasty, these cities are even comparable to county towns. They are just small fishing villages along the coast. The roads are bumpy and bumpy, and the houses are basically made of wood and thatch, and some are even
They simply live in caves in the ground, and the living environment is very bad.
Under the leadership of Yili and some officials from the academy, Chen Mu and other high-class people from the Han Dynasty entered the current Japanese slave city. The Japanese slave king and other tribal leaders and dignitaries could only accompany them on the edge.
There were also guards blocking them, preventing them from getting even half a step closer.
However, none of these people felt any humiliation. Instead, they were very happy and accompanied them carefully. Perhaps this is the bloodline that has existed since ancient times. They respected the strong and bullied the weak. In the face of behemoths like big men, they showed off their power in front of the people at the bottom of the tribe.
The arrogant Japanese nobles were as humble as slaves and did not dare to have any resistance.
Because in their eyes, the lower class of the tribe are not even human beings. They are livestock that can be killed at will and living sacrifices used for tribute. In the eyes of the Han nobles, they are also no different from uncivilized savages.
It is already a great blessing to meet someone from the upper class of Han Dynasty like Chen Mu, let alone to accompany him by his side. It is simply a blessing in life.
Along the way, Yin Li also gave everyone a brief introduction to the current situation of the Japanese. In fact, the Japanese were just a general term used by the Han Dynasty for the Japanese at that time, but they themselves did not agree with this term internally. Even high-level leaders of some national tribes would call the lower-level people
The common people are called Japanese, and they call themselves citizens of a certain country.
For example, the nobles of the Japanese slave country would call themselves Japanese slaves, while the lower class would call themselves Japanese slaves.
This is because Japan is divided into hundreds of tribes, including the Wonu Kingdom, which is not a country. It is just a local tribe in Fukuoka. Its real name is the Nu Kingdom. There are also Fumi Country and Ito Country around it. There are ten countries, big and small.
There are multiple "countries". They have not established a unified national identity. They continue to attack and kill each other, and regard each other as enemies.
And these are just some tribes near Fukuoka. There are Soharima people in Minami Kyushu south of Fukuoka, Iyo Country and Awa Country on Shikoku Island, Yamatai Country, Touma Country, Izumo Country, Tamba Country, and Inuku on Honshu.
Larger tribal countries such as the country are just like the Spring and Autumn Period. Each country is independent and cannot be unified.
This situation will continue for hundreds of years. Currently, Kyushu Island is relatively stable and is guarded by Qingzhou troops. The two largest countries on Honshu Island, Yamatai Kingdom and Touma Kingdom, are currently engaged in a war that has lasted for several years.
For many years, the two sides have had alliances with each other, which makes them lose their minds.
Internal instability is actually a good thing for outsiders like the Qingzhou Army. Due to limited productivity, the total population of Japan is now estimated to be less than 500,000. They will still kill each other and seize the entire island country in the future.
It's more convenient and easier.
Under Yin Li's introduction, everyone also learned about the current situation of the Wonu Kingdom. The total population of the Wonu Kingdom was only a few thousand people. Sun Guan sent Yin Li to bring 5,000 fully armed troops over, almost like a dimensionality reduction strike.
All the countries near the Wonu Kingdom moved to the Fukuoka area and were governed by Gakuin officials. They began to promote the Chinese language, plant rice, and breed silkworms.
Over the past few years, the Wonu Kingdom has successfully transformed from a primitive tribal society into a feudal society. Although it is still in its early stages, it has already made a qualitative leap. The next step is to smelt minerals, especially gold and silver mines.
Although the island country is lacking in resources, it is indeed rich in minerals, at least for now it is relatively rich.
In later generations, Japan has very few mineral resources. This is because people have been mining for hundreds of years. From the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large amount of silver flowed from Japan to China. In the 17th century, the mining of Iwami Silver Mine accounted for one-third of the world's silver production.
, it can be seen that before it was developed, it still had a lot of storage.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chen Mu also came to Japan for the first time, so he listened very carefully to Yin Li's introduction and moved forward, passing through large and small shabby streets.
, finally came to a relatively clean street, at least this street was paved with bluestones, unlike other streets that were all mud.
The houses on this street are all made of bricks and tiles, with obvious house structures from the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. There is a courtyard enclosed by a wall outside, with a courtyard, a central hall, and a backyard. Even some larger houses have gardens.
Cloisters, pavilions and brothels.
In the middle street, there are two huge high-gate courtyards. The regulations are the regulations of the Eastern Han Dynasty vassal kings. They cover an area of several acres and are connected together like two palaces. They have large buildings and jade buildings, which stand out from the crowd and are very luxurious.
Two young men dressed elegantly and with some servants were standing at the entrance of the mansion waiting for everyone. They were both around 20 years old. Although they had not been seen for many years, it was not difficult to guess their identities.
Liu Bian and Liu Xie.
When a group of people came to the door, Yang Biao looked at Liu Bian blankly. He did not recognize Liu Xie because Liu Xie was only eight years old when he "died" and was "poisoned" in the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, 189 AD.
He was a young child at the time, and now ten years later, of course no one recognizes him.
However, Liu Bian and Yang Biao knew each other. Dong Zhuo forced Liu Bian to go to Chang'an and served as the puppet emperor for several years until the third year of Chuping, which was when Dong Zhuo died in 192 AD. Liu Bian was already sixteen years old at that time.
Although seven years have passed now, and her appearance has changed from childish to mature, her face shape is still the same and has not changed much.
Seeing that Liu Bian was really not dead and standing in front of him alive, Yang Biao couldn't help bursting into tears. He quickly went up and threw himself in front of Liu Bian with small steps. He cried bitterly and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
!”
Lu Qiang was also the old eunuch who served him. Seeing this, he also burst into tears and knelt down in front of Liu Bian: "Your Majesty!"
"Sikong, Changshi..."
Liu Bian didn't even know that Yang Biao was now a lieutenant. When he saw them, he felt friendly and quickly stepped forward to help them up.
On the other side, the queen stared blankly at another middle-aged man in his 37s or 37s standing next to Liu Bian and Liu Xie. This man was Liu He, the servant who disappeared in the rebellion.
"He'er!"
The queen screamed and rushed forward as well.
"Mother!"
Liu He immediately came up to greet him, and the mother and son embraced each other, which was touching.
The reunion between the monarch and his subjects, mother and son, is quite heartwarming.
Only King Chenliu and Liu Xie were very lonely on the side. There was no one around him, and it was quite desolate.
Historically, he was Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and was used by Cao Cao to command the princes. But according to legal principles, Liu Bian was the eldest son and grandson, and the heir to the throne.
So now there is no drama about Dong Zhuo killing Liu Bian and establishing Liu Xie, and he "died" early. Unlike Liu Bian who shared hardships with Yang Biao, Lu Qiang and others in Chang'an, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was deep.
Seeing that no one came to greet him and the court was deserted, Chen Mu walked over, smiled and said with his hands in his hands, "I have met King Chenliu."
Liu Xie sneered: "I wonder if I should call you Shangshu Ling now or something?"
"The name and official position are just titles. If King Chen Liu doesn't mind, just call me Chen Mu."
Chen Mu replied.
"Then let's go into the house and talk about it."
Liu Xie glanced at Yang Biao and the Queen, his eyes rolling.
Chen Mu could tell by looking at him that he might be playing some trick. Liu Xie had done a lot of tricks in history, such as the Chang'an Rebellion, the Clothes Order, threatening Cao Cao, and overthrowing the conspiracy, but none of them could be done well. Not only did the ministers suffer,
Among the relatives, many people including the queen, prince, uncle and father-in-law died.
Now that I have been put under house arrest in Japan, although I have no worries about food and clothing, compared to being a prince in the prosperous world of the Central Plains, at least it is much better than being in this remote country, and the Japanese slave country is like a primitive savage all over the world. I am afraid that it is much better.
What's going on in your mind?
However, Chen Mu is not afraid of him. I hold the knife for people's meat and fish. His people are everywhere in and outside the Japanese slave country. Liu Bian, Liu Xie, and Liu He don't even have any of their own people around them, and they are far away overseas. What do they use?
Fight with yourself?
Everyone entered the mansion under the greetings of Liu Bian and Liu Xie. Liu Bian's mansion was like a palace. The front yard alone covered an area of nearly an acre. It was obviously built according to the specifications of the palace and did not disrespect his status.
After entering the front hall, surrounded by everyone, Liu Bian ascended the throne, and the others sat in rows. Liu, mother and son were not here, and had gone elsewhere to chat in private.
After all, Liu Bian was the previous emperor, but the empress was the wife of the current emperor. How should the principles and systems be distinguished? It was hard to say who was older and who was younger, so we simply did not meet in a formal setting and everyone could talk about their own affairs.
"His Majesty."
After everyone sat down, Yang Biao was the first to speak: "I am guilty. After Chang'an, I thought that Your Majesty was killed by poison and the country could not be left without an owner for a day, so I could only elect Zongzheng Boan Gong as the emperor. Now I see you again."
Your Majesty, I am very ashamed."
Liu Bian sighed and said: "It doesn't matter, Chang'an is in chaos. If I didn't fake my death and escape, I'm afraid I won't survive now. This place is like spring all year round and is very warm. I am already very satisfied."
Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty is doing well, I can rest assured."
"Brother Royal!"
Liu Xie winked at Liu Bian quickly.
Liu Bian came to his senses and looked at Chen Mu beside him: "Shang Shuling, although this place is like spring all year round, it is not as good as his hometown after all. I don't know when I can go back?"
Chen Mu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the world is in chaos now, and all the princes are attacking each other. I am afraid that the chaos will hurt Your Majesty, so I will move Your Majesty overseas first. When the world is unified and the world is peaceful, I will ask Your Majesty to go back. Your Majesty, don't worry,
Although this Japanese slave country has a small population and a narrow territory, its advantage is that it is stable, it is a livable place, and there is absolutely no danger."
Smart people should have heard the implication of this sentence, that is, you Liu Bian can return to the Han Dynasty, but if you have the life to go back, you will not have the life to stay. Only by continuing to stay obediently in this Japanese slave country can you live a long and healthy life, otherwise you will not be able to protect everything.
He wouldn't care if something acclimatized happened to him on the boat and he went to the west.
However, Liu Bian's qualifications can only be considered to be at the middle to lower level. He is timid and fearful, and he has no emperor's mind. Naturally, he could not understand the meaning of this sentence. Seeing that Chen Mu was kind and seemed to be easy to talk to, he said again: "I heard that Qingzhou is stable.
, and there is no danger.”
Chen Mu's face suddenly darkened. He glanced at Yin Li and others, and everyone quickly shrank their necks. On weekdays, Liu Bian and Liu Xie would also come to them to inquire about the situation of the big man. Those officials from Taishan Academy were assigned to this bird.
He has nothing in common with the natives. On the contrary, he is very close to Liu Bian and Liu Xie, so he talks about everything outside.
"Your Majesty, the world is indeed in chaos now. Yuan Shao is attacking Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is not very safe either."
Fortunately, Yang Biao came to Chen Mu's rescue at this time and gave him some advice.
Liu Bian glanced at Liu Xie and said disappointedly: "In that case, let's live here first."
Seeing that his brother was useless, Liu Xie couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and said: "Chen Mu, just tell the truth. How long do you want to keep us trapped here?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately became uproar.
I never expected that Liu Xie would say such words on such an occasion.
Because doing so is obviously almost the same as breaking one's skin.
Only Chen Mu did not feel any surprise.
After all, in history, Liu Xie threatened Cao Cao and frightened Cao Cao so much that he "was so frightened that he sweated profusely, bowed his head and begged for help, and did not dare to come back to court again."
"Book of the Later Han" uses several idioms to express Cao Cao's panic, which shows that Liu Xie is also a bold leader.
But at least the current situation is that Cao Cao has completely controlled him in history.
Now that he's in his own hands, there's no need to quarrel with him.
