In the sixth year of the Tang Dynasty, September 18. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The gate of Fujiwara's capital was wide open, and Shu Ming, the lord of the Japanese Kingdom, led hundreds of officials of the Japanese Kingdom out of the city to stand in a queue, waiting for the arrival of the Tang army.

Li Xiaogong led the Tang Dynasty army to slowly appear, the soldiers held long lances, wore Mingguang armor, and rode on tall and strong war horses, heroic and extraordinary, as if divine soldiers descended from heaven.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are neat, and the orders are forbidden, and ten thousand people are the same. The war horses stepped on the ground in unison, and the ten thousand war horses trampled on the ground, but there was no different noise. The sound of the horses' hooves trampled down one by one, as if even the ground was trembling with it.

Xia Hongsheng, Su Dingfang and several other lieutenants went with Li Xiaogong and Zhang Liang to fight their horses and arrived in front of the lord of the Japanese state.

"The country of Erguo bullied the Tang Dynasty first, and when this king was harmed by the country that day, he said that he would definitely set foot on the country of the Japanese and slaughter all the people in order to relieve the hatred in his heart." Li Xiaogong stared coldly at the national letter of the state of the country, and said solemnly: "However, after all, the Tang Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and the country is arrogant, and the fault lies in the court, not in the people. Therefore, I can't bear to make the people of Erguo displaced by this war, and their lives are miserable. Accept the surrender of Er, protect the people, and from then on belong to the Tang Dynasty. The edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said: The monarchs and ministers of the Japanese Kingdom entered Beijing with the ship to meet them, received the edict, and rewarded and punished them. ”

Li Xiaogong's words were short, but they were serious and powerful, and they became majestic in their own right.

After listening to Li Xiaogong's words, the lord of the Japanese state was expressionless, but he just took a yellow silk from the hand of the middle minister on his side, held it in his hand, and presented it to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong turned the long lance in his hand, pulled out a spear flower, picked up the letter of surrender in the hand of the lord of the Japanese state, picked it up, and then raised his arm violently, and the long lance in his hand pointed obliquely to the sky, and shouted: "Datang Wansheng!" ”

The yellow silk was picked on the tip of the lance, and it was particularly eye-catching.

"Datang Wansheng!" 10,000 Datang soldiers shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder, and it was breathtaking.

The cry was receiving, and the surroundings suddenly sank into a dead silence.

Li Xiaogong handed the letter to Xia Hongsheng on the side, put down the lance, and looked at the lord of the Wa Kingdom.

The lord of the Wakuni Kingdom glanced back at Fujiwara Kyo behind him, then lowered his head, took a step back, and stood sideways to get out of the way.

Li Xiaogong pointed forward with the long lance in his hand: "Enter the city!" ”

The Tang Dynasty soldiers marched slowly, and entered Fujiwara Jing.

Xia Hongsheng then entered Fujiwara Kyochu, looked back at the Tang army that was gradually entering the city, and knew in his heart that this was not the end of the war, but a new beginning.

The Tang army entered the city and took over the defense of the city from the hands of the Japanese soldiers. The soldiers of the Japanese state were confined to the barracks, guarded by a thousand Tang soldiers.

After Li Xiaogong entered the city, he immediately issued several orders. Most of them are aimed at the people of Fujiwara Kyo, and they are also some "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" to win over the people's hearts, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers are also strictly disciplined, and there is no looting after entering the city, let alone disturbing the people's actions.

Although he couldn't help but be angry when he thought of the atrocities of the Japanese army in later generations, Xia Hongsheng did not condone the soldiers to burn, kill and loot. What Xia Hongsheng wants is this land, to completely annihilate this nation from civilization, not a momentary pleasure of revenge.

Perhaps, this is the most ruthless revenge on the Japanese state.

"Although the Japanese kingdom has fallen, it is not the end of this war." After a busy day and arranging everything, Li Xiaogong summoned the generals again in the evening and said: "All parts of the Japanese country are still under the control of the Japanese people, and all localities can raise troops against the Tang Dynasty at any time. There were still tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers in Fujiwara Kyochu, and if we conspired with the Japanese people in Fujiwara Kyochu, we would be in danger. Ben will use a gentle policy against the Fujiwara Kyochu Japanese people, precisely to extinguish their resistance to the heart. The generals shall restrain their troops in these days, and do not do anything that provokes the anger of the people, so that the Japanese and the Japanese soldiers will not go all the way. In addition, after the surrender of the Wa Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty had to garrison troops in various cities and places. When we left Osaka, the fleet of sailors had already begun to turn around to Datang and continue to transport troops. According to the king, the imperial court of the Wa Kingdom lacked control over various places, and all localities may not give up resistance because of the surrender of the Wa Kingdom. I'm afraid that when the time comes, Datang will still have to be wiped out one by one. With the current number of people, I am afraid that it will not be enough. ”

Everyone nodded, and they all agreed with Li Xiaogong.

Because Xia Hongsheng knew something about the history of the Japanese Kingdom, he also knew that what Li Xiaogong said was not unreasonable.

At present, the Wa Kingdom has not really entered the feudal society. In the Wa Kingdom, it was still in the period of slave society. Although the Emperor of Wakoku has the name of emperor, he does not actually have the status of an emperor. The great aristocracy monopolized the political power, and the local aristocracy monopolized the power of local jurisdiction. Specifically, in terms of the relationship between the central and local governments, it is the lack of strength in the central government's jurisdiction over the local governments. Although the localities were nominally subordinate to the imperial court and the emperor, in reality, the emperor had no real power, and the power of the court was monopolized by the Soga clan and other great nobles. Most of the localities were ruled by the great nobles of the localities, and the decrees of the imperial court of the Japanese kingdom were always carried out in their own favor, and perfunctory or even violated those that were not beneficial to themselves. To put it simply, it is the current lack of centralized power that has not yet been completed, so it does not have enough control over various places.

In the original history, more than ten years later, the eldest brother of the imperial family and the noble minister Kamazu staged a coup d'état, assassinating the powerful minister who was in charge of the government at that time, Soga Irishi, and his father Soga Ezo committed suicide, and the imperial family seized power. The eldest brother and the prince supported Emperor Kotoku. After Emperor Kotoku ascended the throne, he abolished the system of monopoly power by the great aristocracy, learned from the political and economic system of the Sui and Tang dynasties in China, named the era as Dahua, moved the capital to Nambakyo, that is, Osaka, promulgated a new edict, implemented political reforms, and established an ancient centralized state. This is the transformation of the great transformation in history. It brought about a great change in the history of the Wakoku, after which the Wakuni finally became a centralized state headed by the emperor.

It is precisely because the Wa State has not yet completed the centralization of power that the surrender of the "central" Wa State does not have much coercive power for the great nobles in various places. In other words, the great nobles everywhere will not necessarily give up resistance and surrender to the Tang Dynasty because the Japanese court has attacked the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, there is what Li Xiaogong said.

The Wa Kingdom was the first place in Xia Hongsheng's grand plan to be occupied by the Tang Dynasty in the true sense. This occupation is not just about land, but also about land, ideas, culture, traditions, and customs...... And so on and so forth.

Therefore, it is important to have a good beginning in order to make a reference example for the future colonization and occupation of Datang around the world.

Therefore, in order to completely occupy the Wa State, it is first necessary to complete its unfinished centralization in the Wa State.

Of course, this central government is no longer the imperial court of the Japanese state, but the management personnel and institutions of the Tang Dynasty stationed in the Japanese state. (To be continued.) )
