Chapter 9: Muhua is cheap
Matsui Masayuki was born in Suruga, served as an adult in Edo, and later opened a shodo to teach military science.
Yui Masayuki's father, Jiemon, was originally a fellow villager of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Owari, and later engaged in the dyeing industry, and after the Battle of Sekigahara, the family moved to Suruga, where he gave birth to Masayuki.
When he was seventeen years old, Yui Masayuki fell in love with military school when he was serving in Edo, and bowed to Kusunoki Masatsuna, the son of Kusunoki Masatora, the son of the two generations of old ministers of Zhifeng, as a teacher, and as a son-in-law, he was renamed Kusunoki Masayuki. Under the guidance of his master, he founded his own military school - Zhang Kongtang, whose name was taken from the "Zhang" of Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang of the Han Dynasty of China, and the "Kong" of Zhuge Kongming.
It is said that after Yui Masayuki started the class, there was an endless stream of disciples who came to receive teaching, and the number of students reached as many as 3,000 at one time, and it also included the high-ranking samurai class. During this period, countless daimyo were attracted by Zhengxue's talent, and they all hired him on the condition of high-ranking officials Houlu, but they were rejected by Zhengxue, who was obsessed with military studies.
It's a pity that the shogun at this time was passed from Tokugawa Hidetada to Tokugawa Iemitsu. After Tokugawa Iemitsu came to power, he implemented a policy known as "arbitrary politics", and the control of the feudal states was increasingly strengthened, and the daimyo faced punishment of changing or cutting down the feudal domains if he was not careful, and because of this, many of the daimyo who were punished had to dismiss their feudal lords in order to maintain their operations, which caused a large number of ronin in society, and countless people began to be displaced, causing social chaos.
Many of Yui Masayuki's disciples were wandering samurai, and these people lost their jobs after being laid off and had a difficult life. If history had continued, Masayuki Yui would have decided to instigate a rebellion to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, which had caused all this.
Now, Zhu Cihong, a Kunpeng, is flying high. It has set off the tide of history. Under Zhu Cihong's orders, Xie Hongyun sent an envoy to Japan for diplomatic negotiations. Admiral Qi Yuan recruited a group of ronin samurai such as Masayuki Yui, Tadaya Maruhashi and Hanbei Kanai to enter Korea as mercenaries.
Although the mercenary looks like a very expensive person, it is actually ......
Now. Yui Masa, who had regained his real name, put on a stiff face and said loudly: "Gentlemen! This war is related to our status in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of China, and we must use the great skills of our great Japanese samurai to determine the name of Japanese samurai good fighting! ”
"Hay!"
Everyone shouted in unison and bowed ninety degrees.
"If this battle is won, everyone will be fed. Brave warriors, rice and rice! ”
"Hay!" The Japanese samurai cheered even more fiercely.
"Hay!"
Looking at this scene, Matsui Masaki smiled heartily and was unprecedentedly happy.
He felt pride. A pride that comes from within.
This is completely different from the Sino-Japanese relations that later followed.
Japan in later generations is prosperous and civilized, even after 20 years of economic stagnation, 20 years of wages have not risen, a popsicle has increased in price for 20 years, you can bow down and apologize to play the sentimental card, but Japan is still a prosperous developed country, a country with excellent spiritual civilization construction, and international praise for the quality of its people. It is precisely because of such confidence and such a good international image that it has attracted waves of brain-dead fans to become spiritual Japanese. So much so that he forgot the sins of Japan in the militaristic era.
Therefore, for most Chinese in later generations, the image of Japan is complicated.
On the one hand, many Chinese people hate the Japanese. He believes that Japan has too little reflection on the past, and that the right wing is rampant and obscures history. Wash the floor for militarism. So he was angry with Japan and always regarded Japan as a great enemy.
And on the other hand. There are also many Chinese people who envy the prosperity of Japan and sigh at the beautiful scenery of Japan. The excellent humanistic environment and national quality, under the wave of feelings and the advantages of Japan's real existence, the Japanese are regarded as other people's children, and those who can't go to Japan become spiritual Japanese, and those who can have the ability to take refuge in the flesh and beg for immigration.
However, Zhu Cihong, who came to this world, is completely different.
What is the concept of Japan at this moment?
It's the concept of American dads for Japanese people in later generations.
Emperor Shenzong successively launched three large-scale military campaigns in the northwest and southwest frontiers of the Ming Dynasty and Korea, namely the Battle of Ningxia in which Li Rusong pacified the rebellion of the Mongols, the Battle of Banzhou in which Li Hualong pacified the rebellion of Yang Yinglong, the Tusi of Miao Territory, and the Korean Battle in which Li Rusong and Magui resisted the invasion of the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi regime.
If the Battle of Ningxia and the Battle of Banzhou were too far away, they would have had little impact on the Japanese. However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi united the power of Japan to invade Korea, but was slapped to death by the Ming Dynasty, but the Korean battle made the Japanese deeply impressed, and remembered the great martial arts of the Ming Dynasty.
This was the first time that the Japanese tried hard to get rid of the Japanese archipelago, and they could not get rid of the congenital constraints of the long and narrow islands, and Japan was destined to be a second-rate country in East Asia in the agricultural era.
Not counting the use of force, the spread of Confucian culture for thousands of years, and the entanglement of the country of the clan and the feudal kingdom made Japan in the Edo period full of the ideology of Muhua and lowly people.
And this involves the Huayi concept of Confucian culture.
Huayi is a Confucian cultural concept of the international order, using the Confucian ideas of Confucius and Mencius as a distinction to divide the whole world into two poles of Chinese descent. Inner Xia and Waiyi are the boundaries of Huayi Concept, and Guihua Cheap Yi is the basic spirit of Huayi Concept. Through a series of means, expanding the scope of China and using Xia to change Yi is the ultimate goal of Huayi Concept. In China, that is a person who is benevolent and righteous, and in the words of the West in later generations, he is a civilized person who can speak and communicate. In Yi, that is a barbarian Hu Lu who has no benevolence and righteousness and no civilization, and is not even a human being, but can only be said to be a generation of beasts.
If you still don't understand, look another way.
What conforms to Confucian culture is democratic, free, and just. If it does not comply, it is naturally the country of evil hooligans!
At this moment, Japan is deeply influenced by this concept, even after a few hundred years, there are not many twists and turns, and the mainstream culture of loving foreign countries and loving the Ming Dynasty has become the insistence of the Japanese in their bones.
Having said that, for Yui Zhengxue at this moment, the Ming Dynasty is the superior China, with advanced culture, the center of China, and the orthodoxy of Confucianism. As for the Manchu Mongolian barbarians, they were a group of barbarians who led beasts and cannibalism.
"Plants and trees flourish around the holy palace. White cherry blossoms show alone in spring. Chinese ceremonial music flowers are blooming all over, and the vitality boasts of Japanese cherry blossoms! This group of lowly Korean barbarians actually took refuge in a group of barbarians who led beasts and cannibals. Sure enough, this Korean Confucianism has declined, and I, Japan, is the best student and loyal vassal who can learn from the Ming Dynasty! Yui Zhengxue's thick eyebrows twisted. In exuberant spirits.
Under the Huayi concept imported from Confucian culture, the whole country of Japan has fallen into an extreme mentality of Muhua and cheapness, and naturally feels that this mental form is unprecedentedly correct.
This form that is completely different from that of later generations is not false at all, and Lin Luoshan, a well-known Japanese scholar and high-ranking monk who is still alive, fearlessly declared in official books such as "Ben Dynasty Tongjian" that the Japanese emperor came from Zhou Wu Taibo in an official book such as "Ben Dynasty Tongjian", and believed that the Japanese were all descendants of the Qin Empress and were one with the Ming Dynasty, and should not be divided into two countries.
To say that a person may still be simply obsessed with Chinese culture is not enough to represent anything. Then, another Japanese Confucian with a strong "kingdom of God" ideology is enough to test. Under the influence of Chinese culture and education, he openly said several times: "Although this dynasty has been independent and has not submitted to China since ancient times, there are many people who have used it for Chinese style and education, and it can be described as a teacher of the country. ”
If you still have to argue that Muhua is only a unique thought and emotion of Zhu Zixue, the deeds of Xiong Zefanshan, another Yangming scholar, can be confirmed in the negative. Xiong Zefanshan preached Japaneseism all his life, hoping to make Japan independent, but Xiong Zefanshan was busy all his life, and in the end he was still overwhelmed by the Muhua trend, and he had to admit: "Zhongxia is the China of heaven and earth." China is the division of the four seas". The paleologist Yamaga Soyuki also believes that "envy and learn from China" and "this situation is not limited to us. The same is true of scholars of ancient and modern times. In addition, because the Japanese worship China so much that they are gradually inferior, Ogi Zulai said: "My country is a small country. And a country that is not literate is more difficult to govern than a foreign country. What's more, some people think that everything in Japan is inferior to that of foreign countries, and that "everything is not as good as other Koreas." "Whoever is indispensable to the people's livelihood is also to be treated by the law of the Chinese sage
Nakamura Fujiki said, "A saint cannot be born unless he is a Tang soil." ”
coincided with the birth of Zhu Cihong at this moment, and Zhu Cihong's deeds were passed on to the Ming Dynasty. Not only do the people intuitively feel that Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, is such a saint, but even the whole of Japan feels that the soldiers are strong. Zhu Cihong, who has changed the old weather, is a shining saint in the whole world.
So much so that under the excessively strong light, the Japanese began a strong mentality of cheapness. According to Huayi's distinction. Even those in Japan who do not follow the Confucian teachings of Confucius and Mencius are called Yidi. Don't think it's a bully, the Japanese at this time call themselves Yidi and think it's right. Xiong Ze Fan Shan himself listed Japan, Ryukyu, Korea and other places in the "Book of Righteousness and Peace". Underwater Shun'an called himself Dongyi Boy, and his ancestor Lai also called himself "Yi character Maoqing". The whole of Japan has a desire to "break away from the Chinese and join China." It's like when the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji longed to be reincarnated in the Great Song Dynasty in the next life.
If the Japanese do not have such an opportunity to become Chinese, they will create a new Huayi order. Although he continues to call himself Yidi in front of China, he has a strong sense of self-esteem and is called Yidi derogatory everywhere outside of China. Silla and Baekje were denounced as Yidi back then, and the current North Korea is no exception. As for those Western countries, they are even more contemptuous, and they are not even as barbaric.
If it weren't for the Americans, the rise of the West was proved. I am afraid that Korea and Japan in East Asia, just like Huguang and Yunnan in the past, have long been the territory of China.
The arrival of Zhu Cihong has given such a hope a real continuation.
The mercenaries recruited by Qi Yuan gave the Japanese an unprecedented opportunity. An opportunity to join the Chinese system and successfully become a Chinese person.
The open-mindedness of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the sincerity of trade made many Japanese cheer. Perhaps, there are still some entanglements in ruling the shogunate of Japan at the moment.
But in any case, Matsui Masaki, who had already entered the territory of North Korea with the powerful warship of the Ming Dynasty, would not have the idea of hesitation.
He just wanted to show the bravery of the Japanese in front of the orthodox Chinese people who had admired him all his life, and prove that the Japanese could join China and get rid of the identity of Yidi because of the benefits of the Japanese.
As for the immediate enemy, the North Koreans......
"A group of former Ming vassals who have taken refuge in barbarians have degenerated into people who are not even as good as barbarians! The samurai of Great Japan should have made the Koreans wash away such a shame with blood with a Japanese sword! ”
……
At the head of the Korean city, Jin Zidian blinked his eyes, staring at these short and fierce-looking Japanese fifties, and all the records of the Japanese rebellion came to his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little dry in his throat.
On the side, Chahara looked indifferent: "You lead the army to fight first." ”
Kim wanted to struggle.
But Chahara pointed behind these Japanese soldiers, the military formations that were particularly solemn, and the array of guards of the Royal Guards Regiment was like this, and the deadly aura made people tremble. Chahara raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Why don't you go to guard against the Ming army?" ”
Jin Zidian looked at the swarthy muzzles of the guns, and wisely chose these Japanese samurai who were relatively softer.
"Praetorian Guard Battalion, Dragon and Tiger Battalion...... Fight! Jin Zidian said tremblingly.
……
The name Park Chang-yong is tragic and heroic, and there is a sense of sadness for North Koreans. As his name suggests, he was trained as a brave warrior since he grew up in a Jiangmen family, he is thick, broom eyebrows, blue eyes and cheeks, and a square mouth like a big bell.
But Park Changyong rarely has this kind of boasting, he has fanatical and fierce feelings, and he always grows in the direction of fierce and stubborn. His parents experienced the tragedy of the Korean War, and when Park Chang-yong was a child, his parents always talked about the hardships of the people of North Korea, a country sandwiched between China and Japan. When he grew up, the Battle of Ding Mao became a humiliation for the whole of Korea, and his parents had experienced all the humiliations of small countries. When Park Chang-yong finally grew up, he grew into a resolute and resolute general under the fear of Bingzi's chaos. In the face of two wars that almost wiped out the country, Park Changyong surrendered to the power of Manchu cavalry. has become a rare foreign surname cadre under Jin Zidian.
He believed that he had experienced the humiliation and pride of the Korean people, and his unprecedentedly firm belief made him firmly believe that the future of Korea must be a great power, and such a great power was like the Manchu Qing Dynasty that rose in the land of Liaodong.
As for Huayi's distinction?
When he went to the battlefield countless times, he never asked the question again. For him, the answer is already obvious: "What's that?" Can North Korea not be destroyed? The Qing State is strong, and North Korea has already experienced it twice with the national ancestor. ”
