Section 1333 The Consistent Heart of the Japanese People
In the evening, Kenroku Abe saw his father Tadaaki Abe, and Kenroku Abe changed into a Japanese costume to salute his father and bowed deeply.
The father was old, thin, gray, and hunched back, but he was in good spirits, and the wrinkles that had been tight were stretched, and Guy saw that his son was promising!
Kenroku Abe reported to his father about his experience of asking for help in Nanjing, and when he heard that the king of the southeast was happy to help, Abe Tadaaki nodded again and again: "The king of the southeast is Gaoyi! ”
The prince of the southeast conquered the Japanese kingdom and helped the shogun to quell the rebellion, which showed his importance to the Japanese kingdom, and many Japanese people rejoiced and were deeply moved, and Abe Tadaaki was no exception.
In his opinion, the king of the southeast is the king of the two Chinas, both the long history, the humanities and the vast land of China, and the vast and boundless, rich and prosperous sea China, it can be said that there is no territorial ambition for the barren and short Wa State, although the Wa State has some gold and silver, but it is not easy to obtain, it requires a lot of manpower, the southeast king might as well keep the shogunate for its management to obtain gold and silver, otherwise so many ant people to manage, it is a big trouble!
Even the Japanese state itself is the same, the land under the jurisdiction of the "Heavenly Domain" of the Great Shogun is rich in land and minerals, but out of the Heavenly Territory, many daimyo have empty daimyo titles, and are actually poor to death, that is, their territory is too barren, and the population is large, and most of this kind of territory belongs to the foreign daimyos.
Therefore, even the shoguns of the shogunate disliked them, in fact, those foreign daimyo were many into the palace, and they were not on the same page with Tokugawa Ieyasu before, and then they rebelled when they were the second and third generations of generals, and now they came to engage in Tokugawa Iezuna, and they did things one after another, however, it has been difficult for the shogunate to completely depose them, because those places where the daimyo are not reached, and no one wants to send them to go!
It's just that they are so poor that they don't have a few hairs, and those big names want to make things happen all the time, no, they are rebelling.
Abe Tadaaki and Abe Kenroku chatted, and Abe Tadaaki talked about the war in the Japanese Kingdom: "...... Your maternal uncle, Saburo Sasaki, was killed in the Battle of Kyoto, and your two cousins are also fighting for the country! ”
Telling about the tragic incident of his relatives, Abe Tadaaki was sad, so Abe Kenroku opened the topic and talked about the prosperity of the two Chinas, and he said with deep feelings: "Since the reign of the king of the southeast, it is very different from the former Ming Dynasty, he has truly achieved people-oriented, cares about the people's lives, vigorously develops the economy, improves the people's lives, and at the same time engages in infrastructure, education, and people's wisdom......"
He excitedly talked about what he had seen and heard during his study tour in the southeast: the southeast country has a vast territory, unlimited resources, and a ...... population His voice lowered in vain, and a terrible thought came to his mind: "How good it would be if the Southeastern Kingdom were ours!" ”
The Japanese country is too embarrassed, the population of the large P country is more than that of the southeastern country, if you can occupy the land and sea area of the southeast country, the life of the Japanese people will be turned upside down!
The mainland alone is a paradise on earth!
Kenroku Abe traveled to the southeast, but he didn't go to the Tuao mainland, the area of the southeast is too large, and the people on the Tuao continent eat meat, and their life as an ordinary herdsman is even better than that of the daimyo of the Wa country, and even the general is not enough for the herdsmen to eat more meat!
If we get the land of the Southeast!
Kenroku Abe has this idea, it's all forced by life, he feels that the life of the Japanese people is too bitter, too bitter!
Originally, the country is not big, there are many problems, plus war, is this still alive!
Look, due to their own lack of natural resources and the huge influence of natural disasters, the life of the Wei people is not easy, they have had serious sorrows since ancient times, and they have a deep yearning for the richness and vastness of the Asian continent, especially the Chinese mainland!
China has little interest in the things of the Wa Kingdom, after all, China's goal is the sea of stars, and China has always been a world power, which has been determined in the Qin and Han dynasties, Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world. Its prestige spread to Europe thousands of miles away, and the Roman Empire was in awe of Qin!
And the Japanese country will never be able to get rid of the relationship with China, the Japanese country is an island country, there is a saying that what is missing, the more you care about something.
It is precisely because of the island characteristics of the Wa State that the Wa State has a yearning engraved in the genes for the mainland, and the exchanges between China and Japan began very early, dating back to ancient times, since the Han Dynasty in China, China and Japan have carried out frequent exchanges, but it has always been the Wa side to send envoys to visit China to learn the excellent Chinese culture and technology.
China has no interest in this small island country, after all, I have what others have, and I also have what others don't have, so naturally I don't care much about the Japanese country. But the Chinese have a good face, this is not only an individual, this was also the official at that time, China has always regarded itself as a great power of the Celestial Empire, and the exchanges with the Wei Kingdom are also taught without reservation, it can be said that the history of the Wei Kingdom is incomplete without China, and without China, there will be no history of the Wei Kingdom.
The more Chinese scholars like Kenroku Abe came into contact with China, the more they discovered their cultural backwardness and poverty in life, and they felt bitter and envious and yearning for China.
On the surface, the Japanese people with low self-esteem actually have a strong coveting heart for China in their bones, even if they are deeply influenced and influenced by Chinese culture like Kenroku Abe.
At that time, the people of the two China looked down on the Japanese boys, but fortunately, their commanders maintained a high degree of vigilance against this, and never underestimated them because of the backwardness of the Japanese countries, and they were strictly guarded against them, for example, with the tide of Chinese commodities completely washed away the economic industry of the Japanese countries.
Therefore, we must be fully vigilant against the Japanese people, and be fully vigilant!
Let the Japanese people look at the mainland and just think about it!
Kenroku Abe could only press such a thought into his heart, he fixed his mind for a moment, and proposed to his father, "A new Tang envoy should be sent!" ”
"We have learned a lot about Chinese culture, and we should learn from China's strategy for developing the economy!" Kenroku Abe said.
As a high-ranking official in the shogunate, Abe Tadaaki, who was in charge of the country's government affairs and had seen many people, asked his son: "It is a good thing to develop the economy, and it is good to increase grain production to feed more people, but how many people can our country accommodate?" ”
One sentence made Kenroku Abe speechless, yes, with the introduction of advanced Chinese farming technology, the country can raise more people, but the whole country is so big, there are so many resources, and food can only make people live, but it is always difficult to develop, especially when natural disasters come, the more people there are, the more people die.
He bowed his head, gasping for breath, the terrible thought swirling in his mind: "If we can get the land of two Chinas!"
