Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 515 Comparing each other badly?

Judging from the current situation, father and son Guangge Jianren and Kuangong Huiren only need to pay a "slightly" price to screw up all the efforts on their side, and no matter how hard they try, it is impossible Completely guarded against Guanggejianren father and son, but instead of comforting himself from his own point of view, Chen Yan repeatedly called himself stupid?

Tokugawa Jiaqi suddenly felt like a child who was reprimanded by an adult for no reason.

Tokugawa Jiaqi, who felt so wronged in his heart, couldn't help but twisted, and confronted Chen Yan directly: "Mr. Ambassador, although Wa Kingdom is not big, it is not small. Even though Jiaqi controls the shogunate, it is There is no way to completely lock up the entire Wa country, let alone completely prevent Guangge and Jianren from doing bad things?"

Chen Yan glanced at Tokugawa Iechi slightly, then sneered and said, "You mean you're not stupid enough?"

Tokugawa Jiaqi wanted to say that he was not stupid, but he didn't have the guts to contradict Chen Yan, so he could only say aggrievedly, "Mr. Ambassador, please advise?"

Then Chen Yan said with a blank face: "Is your biggest problem now is to prevent Guang Gejianren and his son from sending people to make trouble for you? Then you have to think about it, what is the premise of their sending people to make trouble for you?"

"If they want to send people to make trouble for you, they have to send them there first, and after they are sent, they can blend into the crowd on your side."

"To deal with this situation, the easiest way is to organize a peasant association like Daming, and work together with the Japanese people on your side. Whenever you see a strange face, arrest it quickly. Guanggejianren and his son sent it here Humans are naturally difficult to accomplish.”

"And what you have to pay is just some silver rewards, understand?"

Tokugawa Ieki was immediately overjoyed, and even wanted to give Chen Yan a knock, and then shouted three times that Dad still loves me!
Just thinking about it, Tokugawa Iezari hesitated.

It seems easy for Chen Yan to organize a peasant association like Daming, but it is extremely difficult to implement it on the Wa country, because the problems between the two are fundamentally different!
What was the situation when the peasant association was organized in the Ming Dynasty?It is because the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty rebelled, and when he conquered a place, he would publicly try the bad businessmen and evil gentry in that place, so as to win over a certain amount of popular support, and then through operations such as land equalization, the local people spontaneously supported the peasant association.

But what about the country of Wa?There are two groups of the largest evil merchants and evil gentry in Japan, one group is the Japanese royal family headed by Guangge Jianren and his son, and the other is the Edo shogunate!
Under the Japanese royal family and the Edo shogunate, there are a lot of daimyo attached to them, and under them are a lot of samurai, then ronin, and then common people, and under the common people there is a lot the untouchables.

If you want to establish a farmers' association in Japan, which side should Tokugawa Jiaqi fight for?
Of course, the Emperor Ming could win the support of ordinary people, because at that time all the people in Tangkou of the Central Plains were the targets of oppression by the lords of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Which side to win is the question!
Enlist the support of samurai and ronin?Warriors look down on ronin, and ronin look down on samurai.

Enlist the support of ordinary civilians?Commoners can also bully untouchables.

Enlist the support of the untouchables?The untouchables of the Japanese country have been numb for a long time, and they are basically the same, not to mention the walking dead. They have no idea of ​​​​resisting at all.

In fact, the untouchables in the Japanese country are actually "untouchables" just like the Dalits in Tianzhu. Most of them come from prisoners of war, criminals, prostitutes and some Ainu people in the north. Among them, the official titles are "filthy" and "inhuman", and the discrimination has reached the point of being aboveboard.

Among them, "filthy" are mainly engaged in carrying corpses on the battlefield, slaughtering livestock personnel, funeral practitioners, and leather workers. These people are usually considered to be associated with blood, filth, and death. civil.

Moreover, at this time, the social class and occupation of the Japanese country were very distinct.

For example, after the end of the Warring States Period in Japan, many samurai were unwilling to go out to work or learn crafts even though they had no battles to fight and could not even eat enough, because their status as samurai determined that they could not engage in specific productive labor.

Putting it on the untouchables, their occupations are mostly passed on from father to son, and marriages are also resolved within the untouchable circle. They live on the edge of the mountains or in desolate places isolated by rivers to avoid arousing the disgust of other noble people.

Very similar to the "untouchables" in India's caste system, this group of "untouchables" in the Japanese country are not allowed to marry good people and cannot participate in normal social activities. Covering their mouths and noses so as not to blow out foul smells "affecting the environment", even when they clean up as servants, they can only go backwards - in order to sweep away their own footprints, because in the eyes of the dwarfs of the Japanese country, stepping on " The roads that the "untouchables" walked will be stained with filth and even bad luck.

If untouchables go to work in a beloved man's house, they usually have to bring their own rice bowls. Once they touch the bowls and chopsticks of the beloved, the owner will definitely smash the containers used by the "dirty" untouchables and bury them deep.

Moreover, in the laws of the Japanese country, "untouchables" are only considered as one-seventh of a person, and the lives of seven untouchables are worth a good man, especially those warriors who treat "untouchables" who they don't like. ", I often chop as soon as I want, this is also a way that Japanese warriors often use to try their knives - how many people can be cut is how many cuts, so as to judge the quality of a samurai sword.

That is to say, if Tokugawa Iechi wanted to win over those ordinary people, he would be hostile to the samurai and ronin classes. If Tokugawa Iechi wanted to win over those "untouchables", even the commoners of Wa would be hostile to him.

In fact, even Tokugawa Iezai did not regard the "untouchables" of the Wa country as human beings, and naturally it was impossible to regard them as targets to win over, let alone regard them as the main force for establishing peasant associations.

After thinking secretly for a long time, he still couldn't figure out which side to win over. Tokugawa Jiaqi simply told Chen Yan about the current situation of Wa Kingdom, and then asked tentatively: "I would like to ask Mr. Ambassador, who should Jiaqi rely on to establish the farmland?" meeting?"

Chen Yan glanced at Tokugawa Jiaqi slightly, and asked, "Are you trying to win over those commoners? Or are you trying to win over those samurai? Or are you a ronin?"

Seeing the mocking look on Chen Yan's face, Tokugawa Ieki couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't he be a commoner or a samurai?"

Chen Yan shook his head slightly, and said with a sneer: "A samurai is a samurai only if he has a master. A samurai without a master can only be a ronin. A samurai pays attention to loyalty to his master. There are far fewer ronin than samurai. Who can you rely on? As for the commoners ...As long as the untouchables of the Wa Kingdom exist, they will not have the guts to resist the warriors and ronin!"

When Chen Yan said this, Tokugawa Iezari was immediately stunned.

Tokugawa Ieqi knew very well in his heart that what Chen Yan said was the truth, but it was precisely because it was the truth that Tokugawa Ieqi couldn't figure out which class of people to win over.

Seeing that Tokugawa Jiaqi was still acting like a fool, Chen Yan simply sneered and said: "I remember Heshen and Zhongtang in the Qing Dynasty often said a famous saying, which is to save the people first, and even the officials cannot be saved. , Who else do you expect to help you save the people?"

Tokugawa Iechi was even more confused immediately, because Chen Yan's words seemed to make sense, but after a closer look, it made people feel something was wrong—why didn't Daming win over those evil businessmen and evil gentry, instead beat them up? Lost?
Chen Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling the aroma of the tea carefully, and then patiently pointed out Tokugawa Iezari: "Actually, your best choice is to win over those rogues and good people, because ronin want to find their masters, and Good people are the largest group in the Wa country, and they also hope to change their own class, and hope to go further."

"However, it is too late in time, because you have never wooed them before, and if you try to woo them rashly now, it will be inconvenient to win their trust, and it will offend those daimyos and samurai."

"So, your only choice now is to win over those daimyos, because winning over those daimyos is equivalent to winning over a samurai. With a samurai in hand, and using it as the foundation of the peasant association, you can naturally ignore those ronin and untouchables, and it's even more difficult. You don’t need to care about the people sent by Guanggejianren and his son to make trouble, because those warriors will solve your problems for you, understand?”

Tokugawa Jiaqi was immediately overjoyed, bowed his head and said: "Ha Yi! Jiaqi understands, thank you, Mr. Ambassador, for your guidance!"

Chen Yan nodded with a smile and said, "You have to know that the peasant association is just a name, or a symbol. You can use those big names as the foundation of the peasant association and let them handle it downwards, so that you The place of governance forms a net, so that people who are light, humble, and benevolent can't infiltrate."

Speaking of this, Chen Yan suddenly laughed, and said meaningfully: "When I was studying in the Central Plains, I saw a record in the history books about Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Han Dynasty was stronger than the Xiongnu. Therefore, Emperor Xiaowu said: The situation of offense and defense is easy to change, the enemy can go, and I can go too!"

Tokugawa Jiaqi's heart moved slightly, he looked up at Chen Yan, and asked expectantly, "What does Mr. Ambassador mean?"

However, Chen Yan did not answer Tokugawa Jiaqi's question. Instead, he picked up the teacup and said to Tokugawa Jiaqi: "Come, drink tea."

Seeing that Chen Yan already had the intention of serving tea to the guests, Tokugawa Jiaqi, who knew something about the Central Plains culture, did not dare to delay Chen Yan any longer, so he immediately bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ambassador, for your kindness, but Jiaqi still has to go back to make arrangements. Don’t waste the ambassador’s time on sending envoys and daimyo!”

After the Dechuan family got out of the house, Qian Chuan, who had been listening to the wall for a long time in the next room, opened the door and walked in, then looked at Chen Yan with a strange expression and said, "You are really good for the Dechuan family." idea."

Chen Yan chuckled, and said: "As the saying goes, cannibalism has a short mouth and soft hands, so I have taken his Tokugawa family's silver mine, so naturally I have to think about it for him."

After hearing Chen Yan's shameless statement, Qian Chuan's face was full of question marks—is this something that a human can say?

After thinking about it, Qian Chuan simply suggested: "Should I send someone to refuel them?"

Chen Yan shook his head slightly, and said: "The fire is almost enough now, and if you add more fire, it will easily go too far—we want to make the Wa country chaos, not to let the Wa country be completely destroyed."

Qian Chuan couldn't help curling his lips: "You told Tokugawa Jiaqi that the offensive and defensive situation is changing, but you just rushed to let the Wa country finish the calf?"

Chen Yan smiled and shook his head, denying Qian Chuan's statement: "It won't be completely finished, because they will fight, fight to be Daming's dog, and sell the Wa Kingdom until the day when there is nothing to sell, then That's when they finish the calf together."

Qian Chuan was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Are you planning to let them fight each other? But if Tokugawa Jiaqi sends someone to make trouble for Guang Gejianren and his son? Or, how do you know that Tokugawa Jiaqi will definitely not win?"

Chen Yan shook his head again, and said with a smile: "Whether Tokugawa Jiaqi will send someone to make trouble with Guangge Jianren and Kanomiya Huiren and his son is not easy to say, but I can be sure that even if Tokugawa Jiaqi sends someone there, it will be useless , because Guanggejianren and his sons didn’t put their heart into treating leprosy from the very beginning, they only hoped to drag the Tokugawa family into trouble.”

Seeing that Qian Chuan was also puzzled, Chen Yan simply explained slowly: "Although the father and son Guangge Jianren and Kuangong Huiren are the lord and the son of the Wa Kingdom, they are only the lord and the son in name. The power of the government is actually in the hands of the shogunate, you should know this, right?"

Qian Chuan thought in his heart that what you said is a bit contemptuous of people—this hundred households may not be as smart as you scholars, but when it comes to being well-informed, I am afraid that one hundred of you and one of you can’t catch up with me, Qian. Just a small flag under your hand!
Naturally, Chen Yan also saw Qian Chuan's unconvinced expression, but Chen Yan didn't take it seriously, he just smiled and said: "Since Guangge Jianren and his son have no soldiers and no power in their hands, it is natural to want to solve the leprosy problem." There is no way to talk about it, and if the leprosy cannot be solved, it means that Guangge Jianren is likely to lose the position of the king of the Japanese country. Therefore, the only thing that Guangge Jianren and Kuangong Huiren and his son can do now is Send people to make trouble for the Tokugawa family, so that the Tokugawa family can't cure leprosy, and try to keep the position of the king of the Wa country under the same bad situation."

Qian Chuan said dumbfounded: "This... isn't this riding horse dragging each other to death?"

Chen Yan suddenly burst out laughing.

than bad?

Isn't the essence of this world just rotten?

At the beginning, Ming and Qing were compared to each other, and now all the countries on the small broken ball, except for Ming, were also compared to each other, at most, the forms were somewhat different.
