Chapter 380: The Fall of the Wa Kingdom

The self-proclaimed emperor of the Wa Dynasty and the Yamato Province of the Asuka region, the birthplace of the Wa Kingdom, slowly defeated the surrounding countries a hundred years ago and ruled the entire territory of the Wa Kingdom, which was later removed from Hokkaido. However, the central government of the Wa State did not rule the local area completely, and there were many large and small wealthy families in the country, and the areas ruled by these wealthy families imitated the Tang system, also known as the state, which was controlled by various wealthy families, and had great freedom rights, and the status was similar to those vassal states in Chinese history, but the strength was generally not strong and could not compete with the central dynasty.

The Asuka region is a general term, and if it is subdivided, it can be divided into five prefectures, namely Shanzhou, Hezhou, Hezhou, and Setju, of which Washu is the original Yamato country, and it is also the birthplace of the central dynasty of the Wakuni Kingdom, where the emperor's palace is located, and the entire state is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and the mountain state in the northwest of Washu is also the seat of the feudal imperial family, which is indirectly controlled by the emperor.

And the remaining three states of Hezhou, is the birthplace of the Su I clan, but also the place where the Su I clan has the strongest control, and later through the management of the Su I Ezo, so that the power of the Su I clan slowly stretched out from Hezhou, Quanzhou, Setzhou is also in their own hands, three of the five states in the political center of the Japanese state are controlled by the Su I clan, which is also one of the fundamentals of the Su I clan's power in the world.

Soga Ezo was killed in a coup d'Γ©tat, and the Soga clan's tribe rebelled, and the youngest son of Soga Irishika, Soga Hinata, was appointed as the governor of the family, occupying the land of Sanshu to compete with the central dynasty.

The 20,000 troops of the Su I clan rebelled in advance and defeated the 40,000 troops organized by the Hao clan. However, after all, the Emperor's family controlled most of the Wa Kingdom, and the other wealthy clans in the country did not want to see the defeat of the Soga clan, so the wealthy clans that had previously maintained their strength could no longer care about anything else. began to gather the elite in his hands, and in a short time he commemorated the 50,000 army again. Then began the siege of the Soga clan.

Faced with a great enemy twice as large as they were, the Su I clan had to retreat in defeat after defeat. In the end, Quanzhou and Setzhou were lost, and they could only defend the place of Hezhou to the death, so that the powerful coalition army of the emperor's family could no longer advance an inch. At this time, the Hao coalition army also suffered heavy casualties and had to stop to rest and recuperate.

After this battle, both the Su I clan and the Emperor faction were greatly damaged, and they did not destroy the strength of the other party for the time being, so they were at a stalemate for a while, but this gave Li Su an excellent opportunity. Originally, according to the previous agreement between Li Su and Queen Zhongdashan. The Wa State ceded land and paid compensation in exchange for Li Su's support, and during this period, Li Su could no longer attack the Wa State, but as a later generation, in Li Su's eyes, the so-called contract was originally used to tear up, so if he made a move to tear up the contract and then attack the Wa State. There will be no psychological pressure at all.

However, Wang An spoke out to stop Li Su's move, after all, in his opinion, the superior must maintain his image, even if it is to tear up the contract. Nor can it be so obvious. As for Wang An's words, Wu Meiniang beside Li Su also had a positive attitude, and she also came up with an ingenious way. That is to use that Ishigami Shou me, under the banner of his ancestor Monobe clan. Begin an attack on the Asuka area.

Although the Monobe clan of that year was in power to the Japanese country, it had already been wiped out. The Ishigami clan was just one that escaped, and it was only a small wealthy family in Iwami Castle before, and it didn't have much strength at all, and the soldiers in its hands were not even two hundred. With this kind of strength, he is naturally unable to attack the Wa State, but as long as there is Li Su's support, everything will be different.

First of all, Li Su transferred all the more than 10,000 Silla troops in the rear and incorporated them into the troops of Ishigami Shou I, and these Silla troops were the nominal descendants of Ishigami Shou I.

After everything was prepared, Ishigami Shou I immediately set out from Frost City in the name of avenging his ancestors, attacking the city along the way, and soon hit the core area of the Wa Kingdom. It's only been more than 50 years since the demise of the Monobe clan, and the original destruction of the Monobe clan was caused by the current Soga clan and the emperor's lineage, but it's a pity that the mountains don't turn around, but the two allies at the beginning had internal strife, and the descendants of the Monobe clan who were destroyed by them rose up to attack, and the two allies can no longer unite as before.

Although Ishigami was a puppet under the control of Li Su, he also had a certain amount of freedom, such as Li Su allowing him to recruit troops, and he also had a certain right to make suggestions in military affairs. And Ishikami Mamoru I am indeed a talent, and I quickly gathered a ragtag army of 20,000 people, although the combat effectiveness is not strong, but I finally have a little momentum of my own.

After the army in the name of the Monobe clan reached the center of the Wachu region, they were blocked by Sanshu, which was controlled by the Emperor's lineage, and Kawashu, which was controlled by the Soga clan. For these two feuds, Ishigami Mamoru naturally hoped that they would all be destroyed, but for some reason, Li Yu ordered Ishikami Mamoru to attack the emperor first.

This is mainly due to two reasons, one of which is that Li Yu had an agreement with the eldest brother and the prince at the beginning, although now he is in the name of the Monobe clan, but everyone knows what is going on, so simply destroy them first. And the main reason is because the Emperor is the real ruler of the Wa Kingdom after all, and if they are left, there may be unpredictable changes, and the Soga clan has been forced to defend a state, and there is no chance to turn over, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

For Li Su, no, to be exact, it was the attack of the army of the Monobe clan, although the emperor family headed by Emperor Huangji and the eldest brother of the emperor tried their best to resist, but the Hao clan coalition army in his hands attacked the Su I clan was okay, but when it came to the army brought by Li Su, it was only beaten, and the city that seemed to them to be extremely strong in the past was vulnerable to the attack of the Tang army, and no one could stop the Tang army's advance.

On the twenty-first day of the twelfth month of the thirteenth year of the Tang Dynasty, Ishigami Shou I led a large number of Tang troops into the Emperor's Palace, Emperor Huangji and a group of royal families died of self-immolation, and on the same day, Prince Shotoku's Ikaruga Palace was also captured, and the eldest brother of Yamabi surrendered with the royal family of Shanggong, but Prince Shotoku was one of the murderers of the Monobe clan that destroyed at the beginning, so he was secretly slaughtered by Ishigami Shoume, and even Prince Shotoku's mausoleum was dug up by him, and the bones were pulled out and exposed to the sun, and the emperor of the Wa Kingdom was extinct.

However, in the process of Ishigami Shou I leading a large army to destroy the emperor, the Su I clan, who had been trapped in Hezhou, bypassed Ishigami Shou I and directly sent an envoy to contact Li Su, expressing their willingness to surrender, and they were willing to pay any price for this, just to survive!

In Li Su's study in Ishimicheng, Wang An and Wu Meiniang were there, only to see Li Su raise his head and say to the two: "Su My clan is willing to surrender, and there are no conditions, what do you think should be done?" ”

Hearing Li Su's question, Wang An said with a smile: "Your Highness, you must have already made up your mind for a long time, so you don't need to let the old minister say it again!" ”

Hearing Wang An's words, Li Su and Wu Meiniang glanced at each other, and also said with a smile: "Wang Fu really understands this king, the overall situation of the Wa Kingdom has been decided, and the next thing is to consider how to rule here, but compared to Silla and Baekje, the Wa Kingdom is isolated overseas, and unlike Taiwan, there are many Wa people here, and it is really a bit troublesome to manage, so I think in the early days, you can find some people in the Wa who are willing to obey the king and help us manage together, but if there is only one stone guarding me, I'm not too reassured, but this Su I clan can be used. ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Wang An immediately opened his mouth and praised: "Your Highness is extremely worried, although we have conquered the political center of the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa King lineage has also been extinct, but the central and northern regions of Honshu Island are still under the control of the major wealthy clans, plus Tsukushi and Iyo two islands, if you want to completely pacify, it is estimated that you will have to pay great casualties, it is better to govern the Wa with the Wa, support the Ishigami clan and the Soga clan, and let them calm down the Wa Kingdom for us first, but there are a few points that must be grasped in this!" ”

Hearing Wang An's last sentence, Li Su immediately said with a straight face: "Wang Fu, please speak!" ”

I saw that the king soothed his beard and said: "Your Highness, although we can support the Shishang clan and the Suga clan, we are not abandoning the Wa Kingdom, and we must send officials in to control all the finances of the Wa Kingdom." The second is to prohibit the Japanese from manufacturing weapons, all the weapons needed must be purchased from the Qi Palace, if there is no money, you can use people to pay off the debt, after all, we are short of slaves in all aspects. The third is to fully implement sinicization in the Japanese country.,And it must be enforced.,If anyone dares to make trouble.,Immediately send the Ishigami clan and the Soga clan to lead people to suppress.,This matter will also be implemented in North Korea and China and South Korea.。 ”

When he said this, Wang An's face suddenly showed a sinister smile and said: "The last point is to stir up dissatisfaction with the two clans among the people of the Wa Kingdom, and try to make their two clans discredited among the people in the country, so that they have no choice but to rely on us, so that His Highness can have a strong control over them, and can also make them more loyal to their affairs!" ”

Hearing the four points put forward by Wang An, Li Su nodded again and again, especially the last point, which made him very satisfied, and although Wu Meiniang next to him did not speak, but after hearing Wang An mention these points, there was also a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at each other, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: I usually look at this Wang Fu as a scholar, but I didn't expect it to be a bad stomach, such a dignified person, he really deserves to be His Royal Highness's teacher! (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm sorry, there is something going on at home today, and the second one is probably at night for a while, I'm really sorry!
