Inside Azuchi Castle. Reading at zero o'clock.

Oda Yoshinobu enjoyed the service of the ladies while constantly flipping through various books. He didn't ask for help, after all, this kind of thing, although it doesn't seem to attract the attention of others, but what if? Whether it's Oda Yoshinobu or Oda Nobunaga, they can't bear that possibility.

On the other side, there are Japanese history books collected by Oda Yoshinobu. It includes a series of books such as "Kojiki", "Japanese Chronicle", "Continuation of Japanese Chronicle", and "Later Japanese Chronicle". I have to say that although Oda Yoshinobu hates those monks very much, in terms of the preservation of books, many times thanks to these monks.

Ever since Prince Shotoku made Japan a Buddhist country, the status of monks has skyrocketed, and they are comparable to ministers. Although this gave the monks too much power, because of this, countless books are still preserved in these monasteries after several troubled times.

"Hmm...... Judging from the Kojiki and the Nihon Kimono, the deeds of the successive emperors before Emperor Ojin are obviously too nonsense......" Oda Yoshinobu thought to himself as he watched.

Well, it's no wonder that Oda Yoshinobu thinks wildly, but the records of the emperors before Emperor Ojin are too mysterious, for example, in the record about the first Emperor Jimmu, there is Emperor Jimmu who went on an expedition to Kumano Village, and suddenly a big bear appeared and disappeared, and then Emperor Jimmu and the soldiers lost consciousness directly. It wasn't until a man named Takakura Shimoto offered a horizontal sword that Emperor Jimmu immediately woke up again. And after Emperor Jimmu got the horizontal sword, the Aragami of Mt. Kumano was killed......

No matter how you look at it, it's similar to a mythological story. It's like the records of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in later generations, it's hard to say whether they exist or not, but most of the deeds can basically only be heard as mythological stories.

However, the deeds of Emperor Ojin aroused the interest of Oda Yoshinobu, because according to the Japanese records, Emperor Ojin reigned for 41 years and lived to be 111 years old, and the true or false Oda Yoshinobu was naturally not interested, he was interested in the record, in the record, when Oshin was 16 years old, the Baekje Wang Ren arrived in Japan with ten volumes of [Analects] and one volume of [Thousand Character Text], and from that moment on, the text was introduced to Japan, and this writing is naturally Chinese characters.

In addition, according to the Kojiki and the Nihon Kimono, there is a passage in the records of the time of Emperor Ojin that many people from the Central Plains and Baekje emigrated to Japan during this period. Because at that time, the Central Plains had just been reconciled and was in the era of war and chaos at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Well, starting with Emperor Ojin?" Oda Yoshinobu kept looking at the two books in his hand, thinking to himself. One is naturally the Japanese Chronicle, the first official history of Japan. and the other is [Three Kingdoms, Wei Zhi, and the Legend of the Japanese People].

Although there are also records of Japan in the Hanshu written by Ban Gu in Oda Yoshinobu's search, it is too general compared to Wei Zhi's biography of the Japanese people.

Looking closely at the biography of the Wa people, according to the records in it, it can be easily seen that the most familiar to Wei at that time was the Himihu who was named the pro-Wei king by Cao Rui. But in the records, Himiko is nothing more than the king of the royal kingdom. And the Queen's Territory, in the record, there are more than 0 kingdoms such as Sma, Zhayashi, and Iza.

But obviously, the queen country is not equal to the country of Japan, in Wei Zhizhong, there is a dog slave country to the south of the queen country, and the queen country often fights, crossing the sea for more than a thousand miles to the east, as well as the dwarf country, the naked country, the black tooth country, etc.

"Tsk, that's the name...... I'm also drunk. Oda Yoshinobu shook his head and muttered, but it is not difficult to see from the names of these countries that these so-called countries are basically places like primitive tribes. Otherwise, the person who named them wouldn't be so arbitrary.

Oda Yoshinobu kept looking at the records of the Queen's Kingdom, that is, the Yamadai Kingdom in the Japanese Chronicle, and wondered if the Yamadai Kingdom was suitable for the reason he needed. Well, in fact, in the biography of the Japanese people, what Oda Yoshinobu thinks, is only Yamadaikoku. After all, the descendants of the Queen's Kingdom, and those descendants of the Dog Slave Kingdom and the like...... Oda Yoshinobu is more inclined to the former.

"The term emperor really appeared in the era of Emperor Tenmu, so in this way, the ancestor of Emperor Tenmu was just a king who controlled the Yamato country, and it should have nothing to do with Yamatai country." Yoshinobu Oda took out a piece of paper and began to write, draw, and draw.

"According to records, Emperor Jimmu set out from Kyushu Hyuga Province and fought all the way to Yamato Province. However, according to the records of the Central Plains Dynasty, Japan at that time must have belonged to the Stone Age savages, although savages were not incapable ......of building ships," Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice as he looked at Oda Nobunaga.

"Uh......" Oda Nobunaga turned his head around and looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a painful face, although he knew most of the things and characters that Oda Yoshinobu said, but he didn't understand what Oda Yoshinobu meant by saying this. Righteous faith, just say it, I don't understand what you said. ”

"Orthodoxy! Personally, I think that the reason why Emperor Jimmu's initial territory was set at Hyuga was to have something to do with the future Yamatai Kingdom. It's like in the ancient chronicles, the Yamatai Kingdom was named by Cao Rui, the emperor of the Wei State in the Central Plains at the time, as the pro-Wei king, and the writing is the Empress of Shengong. In order to tie everything together. Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

In this way, in the future, the Central Plains Dynasty's various rewards and recognition targets for Japan naturally became the emperor's family. In this way, the legend of the eternal line can be unswervingly passed down from generation to generation. Oda Yoshinobu said with some excitement, is there anything more interesting than breaking the myth? Well...... Maybe it's the creation of myths.

"And then?" Oda Nobunaga rubbed his headache head, he always felt that he had suddenly returned to the era when he studied with Masahide Hirate many years ago, and he learned the history that gave him the most headaches.

"If the Emperor family has nothing to do with the Yamadai Kingdom, then ...... Does it mean that in fact, in Japan at that time, except for the territories of the Yamato generation, the rest of Japan was the territory of other countries? Oda Yoshinobu pointed to the information he had recorded, "So, where did these people come from?" ”

"Uh......" Oda Nobunaga heard this, looked at Oda Yoshinobu speechlessly, and then looked at the thick stack of paper in front of him, and finally gave up the treatment and said, "Is it okay to just say the result?" ”

"Emigrants! From the records I received from the Ainu and the Ming Dynasty, as well as from the records of the country, I can conclude that many people in my country today are descendants of immigrants from overseas countries. Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.
