Chapter 839 Five-Year Plan

Xia Hongsheng used the method of the Japanese people to fight the Japanese people, in fact, in today's Japanese country, it has very convenient social and historical conditions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It can be said that the Wa Kingdom has actually reached a critical point now.

The Wa Kingdom had to resolve the contradictions between the great nobles and the commoners, the tribesmen, and the slaves. If this contradiction is not resolved, it will endanger the fundamental rule of the Japanese royal family.

In the original history, the Wa State obtained advanced regulations from the Tang Dynasty by sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, carried out the Dahua reform, and resolved this contradiction through relatively moderate means. Although there is also the blood of the Su family in this process, it is much lighter than the result of "the people themselves strive to eliminate this contradiction".

Now, what Xia Hongsheng actually wants to do is to solve this contradiction in the Japanese society through more radical means, so that it is in line with the current social environment of the Tang Dynasty. And in this process, Datang became a person who "brought benefits to commoners, tribesmen and slaves", so he won people's hearts. The Japanese nobles became the ones who hindered these interests, so under the drive of a series of policies of the Tang Dynasty, the common people of the Japanese State were allowed to confront the Japanese nobles under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, so that the Japanese nobles "fell into the sea of people's war". At the same time, it can also be that the Tang Dynasty directly dismantled the inherent system of the Wa State in this process, and re-established the system of the Datang Dynasty, so that the Wa society quickly transitioned to the Datang society.

This plan is bound to succeed because it takes advantage of the inevitable trend of history.

Because this is a plan based on the socio-historical significance of the Wa Kingdom.

Wakoku is a country consisting of several large islands and several small islands. In ancient times, one of the characteristics of this kind of island nation was that internal contradictions had to be resolved by itself, and it was difficult for external forces to interfere with them, and the sea was still the biggest obstacle to people's communication with the outside world at that time.

After the third century AD, a large government emerged in the Honshu region of Japan, the Yamato Kingdom. Originally, Yamato Province was confined to the Yamato region in the central part of the island of Honshu. In constant expansion, the Yamato Kingdom gradually occupied neighboring regions and its territory grew larger.

By the 5th century, the country had unified much of present-day Japan, and it was on this basis that the country of present-day Japan developed. The supreme ruler of the Yamato country is the emperor.

In the process of expansion, the Yamato state constantly took possession of the surrounding lands and the people on the land, and distributed them to members of the royal family and large nobles. The Yamato state divided the land into two parts, the tunkura and the grange, the former belonging to the imperial family and the latter to the nobility. At the same time, the working people were divided into two parts, a small part of the slaves, who were mainly used for domestic labor, and the other part of the people, who were mainly used for productive labor.

The so-called tribal people are in the process of the conquest of the Yamato country, some submissive tribes and conquered tribes were collectively settled, retained the original tribal organization, continued to live on the original land, and many still retained the original original blood relationship; In addition, there are a number of ministries specializing in specialized production, whose workers are also called ministers. According to the classification, those engaged in agricultural production are called fields and rice, and those engaged in production in handicrafts or other industries are collectively called the works department, and the product department is divided into clothing and sewing departments and forging and smelting departments according to different industries. The people who worked in the great noble grange for special labor were named after their masters. The tribesmen had their own families and production tools, and could have a small amount of family property. The master was not allowed to kill or buy or sell his people at will, but he could give them as gifts to others as he did with slaves. So there was not much difference between the tribesmen and the slaves.

At that time, the tribesmen and slaves made up more than half of the Japanese population. Between the nobility and the tribal were a large number of commoners, whose status was also changing due to changes in property, and there was always a danger of becoming a tribal. After the Yamato country basically unified the whole country, it lost the geographical environment to continue to expand outward, and internal competition began. Some of the larger aristocrats were desperate to gain greater benefit from controlling the central power on their own.

Before the 6th century, the relatively powerful Monobe clan controlled the government. Later, the emerging Soga clan became stronger, defeated the Monobe clan, seized control of the central government, and installed an emperor in their favor.

The Su I family is invincible, and the small and medium-sized nobles below are also frantically annexing land, brutally exploiting the tribesmen, and many commoners are also deprived of their land, land and wealth are constantly concentrated, and social contradictions are unprecedentedly acute. Under these circumstances, slaves, tribesmen, and commoners rebelled and fled against taxes.

Throughout the present era, the entire society of the Wa Kingdom is in a state of chaos.

The ruling class of the Wa Kingdom had to consider how to find a better way to rule in order to replace the outdated tribal system. Therefore, the Japanese tried to absorb the reforms of other countries and seek a way out. Sending envoys to China to send envoys to the Sui and Tang dynasties was the most important way for the Japanese to seek such a way out. Later history also proved that the Wa Kingdom was indeed in the right direction - of course, this was in the original history.

But now, the line of history has changed. There is no need for the Wa Kingdom to seek a way out. Because Datang is here!

Xia Hongsheng took advantage of this chaos in the society of the Japanese State to guide the common people of the Japanese State and portray the Tang Dynasty as the representative of the common people of the Japanese State to seize some benefits from the hands of the great nobles. In this way, the common people among the Japanese people supported the Tang Dynasty, which could achieve the effect of killing three birds with one stone -- not only did the Tang Dynasty gain the hearts of the people, but also achieved the goal of driving the Japanese people to fight against the Japanese people, and also established a new social, cultural and political system that was in line with the interests and rule of the Tang Dynasty with the help of the turmoil of the inherent system of the Japanese state.

Isn't there a ready-made template?

In the original historical line, more than ten years later, the lord of the Wa Kingdom conspired with the aristocratic minister Kamazu to launch a coup d'état, killing Soga Irishi, and the elderly Soga Ezo committed suicide, and the power finally returned to the hands of the Wa Emperor. Then, following the example of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom promulgated a series of measures, known in history as the "Taika Reform", which finally brought the Wa Kingdom into a feudal society and became a centralized state.

It only needs to be revised to make the content of "Dahua reform" more in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty, closer to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, and more suitable for the Tang Dynasty's control of the Japanese state, and promulgate it. Although it is still a feudal thing, it is much better than the common people of the Japanese kingdom.

Xia Hongsheng thought all the way, from Li Xiaogong to his place, but the short distance went to the middle of the night.

After going back, he didn't sleep, but asked Qi Yong to light a few more lanterns, put them in front of the table, and then leaned over the desk, spread out the paper, picked up the charcoal, thought for a while, and then put down the pen and wrote down a line of words - the first five-year plan outline for the economic and social development of Dongying Road in the Tang Empire.
