Chapter 1022: Divide the Four Kings

The emperor is the title of the monarch of the Wa Kingdom, a descendant of the god of creation in the myth of the Wa Kingdom, Amaterasu, and the supreme leader of Shintoism, starting from the first Emperor Jimmu in myths and legends, to the current emperor, a total of 126 generations, 248 era names, so the emperor system of the Wa Kingdom is the longest monarchy in the world. After the Meiji Restoration in modern times, the Wa Kingdom even declared that it would be "one line for all generations" and wrote it into the Constitution, which meant that the emperor system of the Wa Kingdom would be passed down from generation to generation until the end of the world, shining with the sun and the moon, and living with heaven and earth.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Emperor of Wakuni has become a symbol of the state and a spiritual support in the eyes of ordinary citizens. Although after World War II, as a defeated country, the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom was forced to issue the "Declaration of the World", denying his status as a "god" and admitting that the emperor no longer had a "god" nature, but in the minds of the ordinary people of the Japanese country, their emperor was still the embodiment of God, and he was very supportive and loved the emperor.

If you want to eliminate a person, you can destroy him from above, the operation is simple and the effect is fast, but to "eliminate" a nation, the best way is to destroy them spiritually, since the emperor is the spiritual pillar in the hearts of the people of the Japanese country, then what Xu Jin has to do now is to push down this pillar and abolish the emperor system!

That's right, it is necessary to abolish the emperor system and completely disintegrate the cohesion of the Japanese kingdom, so that it will be completely divided, and there will be no possibility of reuniting and unifying. Of course, to achieve such an effect is not something that can be achieved overnight, the abolition of the emperor system is only the beginning, and the key is to carry out long-term colonization and ideological transformation, and it will take at least two generations, if not more, to completely de-emperorize.

All the warlords present are not idiots, as long as they think about it a little, they can understand Xu Jin's "sinister" intentions, and in an instant, everyone's complexion changed greatly, and some people directly poked and scolded Baga Yalu, but unfortunately these people were eliminated as soon as they finished scolding, and the rest were silent, daring to be angry and not daring to speak, including Ori Shin Miko.

Several bloody corpses in the field were still twitching, the air was filled with pungent blood, and there was a deathly silence in all directions, only the frightened Prince Dekang of the step-palace in Xu Jin's arms was crying.

Governor Xu seemed to have been prepared, took out a piece of candied fruit and put it in the mouth of Jigong Dekang, and the little fart child immediately stopped crying, ate the candied fruit with relish, and smiled at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin smiled and stuffed a piece of candied fruit into each of Jigong Dekang's two little hands, and the little fart child giggled happily. I think Liu Adou was the same back then, this is how the idiom of happiness comes from, but what Emperor Wei gave Liu Adou was not candied fruit, but house and car tickets, and women, and he also named him "An Le Gong".

Soon, several bloody corpses were carried away, and the ground was also cleaned, Xu Jin glanced at the scene lightly, and the field did not dare to make contact with him, and lowered his head tremblingly, no, there was another person who raised his head and stared at Xu Jin deadly, she was Orishin Miko.

Xu Jin met Orishin Miko's gaze with a calm expression, and he saw anger, unwillingness, resentment, and a trace of sadness in the latter's eyes. However, Xu Jin was unmoved, as the so-called each is his master, as a Ming person, naturally for the interests of the Ming Dynasty, just like the invasion of China by the Japanese in later generations, the Chinese people hated those Japanese war criminals, but in the Japanese country was regarded as a hero by the people, and even set up a tablet to worship, the widely known Yasukuni Shrine is the place where the Japanese worship World War II war criminals.

Of course, Xu Jin would never commit the kind of atrocities of the Japanese army in World War II, he just wanted to gain benefits from the Japanese state, to put it bluntly, it was the silver that was abundant here, and the disintegration of this wild nation, so as to avoid the tragedy of the Japanese invasion of China in later generations.

Xu Jin handed back Prince Dekang to Orishin Miko and hugged him, and said lightly: "From today onwards, the emperor will be abolished and renamed the king of Japan, which of you still has an opinion?" ”

Xu Jin asked three times in a row, and the four times were silent, after all, not everyone has such a thing as temperament, although the emperor is important, but it is also important to his own life. The warlords who had opinions just now, and bravely greeted the women of the Xu Jin family, were all shot, who would dare to have an opinion?

At this time, Genshin Takeda of Kai Province, Mori Motosho of Aki Province, and Date Masamune of Ou Province came forward one after another to express their support for the abolition of the emperor system.

As soon as the big man among the three warlords stood up, there was an instant uproar, and everyone finally understood what Xu Jin had summoned these three people to do alone, and there was no doubt that he was talking about the abolition of the emperor, and judging from the performance of these three people now, they must have gained great benefits from it.

Sure enough, Xu Jin then declared Takeda Genshin of Kai as the king of the east, in charge of the Kanto region of the Wa Kingdom; Mori Moto, of Aki Province, was the king of the west, and was in charge of the southwestern region of the Wa Kingdom (including the former Izumo Province, Aki Province, and Shikoku Island); Date Masamune of Ou Province is the King of the North and is in charge of Ou Province and the island of Hokkaido; In the end, Orinobu Miko became the king of the south, and was in charge of Nagao Province and the Kyoto area.

In this way, the Wa Kingdom is equivalent to splitting into four major parts, although the little fart Jigong Dekang is named the king of Japan and is the supreme ruler, but the real real power is the four kings of the east, west, south and north.

Xu Jin's idea is very simple, since there is no way to occupy the entire Wa State, he will dismember it, a strong and unified Wa State is not good for the Ming Dynasty, and an excessively divided Wa State is also not attached to the interests of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty needs the silver from the Wa State, if the Wa State is divided into hundreds of small countries, large and small, the order will collapse, and it will inevitably hinder production by fighting all day long, so it is the best choice to split it into several orderly countries, first, not to worry about it being too strong, and secondly, to smoothly obtain the resources needed.

There were more than 100 local warlords present to attend the ceremony, and Xu Jin, an outsider, allocated their territory with a wave of his hand, so they were naturally not happy, but what could they do? As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and these warlords can only keep their heads shut and be heroes - heroes don't suffer immediate losses.

Anyway, what does he Xu Jin like to say is his business, but whether he insists on it or not is his own business, and when he returns to his own land, he still has the final say, no matter what bullshit he is, he will fight with them if he dares to come to the door to collect the land, who is afraid of whom!

Of course, Xu Jin also understood the thoughts of the warlords present, but he didn't expose it, and he didn't bother to expose it, anyway, he had already allocated the territory, and whether he could get it depends on Takeda Genshin, Mori Motokusa, Date Masamune and Orishin Miko's own ability, if these four people came forward to ask for help from the Ming army, he would at most mean it, the exit doesn't matter, it depends on the price they give!

In this way, what was supposed to be a grand ceremony for the enthronement of the emperor turned out to be a ceremony to abolish the emperor and divide the four kings.

Orishin Miko wanted to cry without tears, she originally raised a little kid to ascend the throne, and she listened to the government behind the scenes, but she was messed up by Xu Jin, and even the shogunate system was abolished along with the emperor system, fortunately, she finally got a southern king to be the king, and finally Xu Jin didn't do too much, and left a consolation prize for herself.
