Wild North America 1846

Chapter 453 Subversion of the world view

"God Amaterasu, is this the status quo of the legendary prosperous Tang Empire? It's really too powerful and impressive!"

Ships in the San Francisco Bay Area come and go. These hill-sized steamships show the power of modern industry, and the Japanese people from Fusang Island are dazzled and exclaimed sincerely.

These are more than 10 passengers who boarded the ship from Fusang Island, wearing traditional kimonos and combing Tsukidai hair, which has become a custom since the Edo period.Except for Gongqing, it is quite popular among civilians and warriors, and basically adult men will wear Yuedai hair.

These fusang passengers got off the boat and stood on the wide flat stone-paved square of the San Francisco Pier, looking at the passing cars, horse-drawn carriages, and trams jingling all the way in the distance, their mouths turned into surprises. Type O.

Compared with the feudal society in which Fusang was still immersed in the small-scale peasant economy, what was in front of us seemed to be another brand-new industrial world.

The towering chimneys in the distance spew black smoke, and there are so many densely packed ones. Looking at the bustling city streets from here, tall buildings spread out like a forest, extending to the end of the sky.

This... is Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Empire, the largest city in America, and the second largest metropolis in the world.

"Master Taiko, we'd better not stay too long at the pier, um... the situation here is more complicated, and it's not very friendly to the Yamato people, please get in the car?"

The person who spoke was Yukaka Owari, Fuso's ambassador to the Tang Dynasty, and his expression was a little disturbed.

It can be seen from these words that Owari Yujing has subtly become a standard Tang fan, and is convinced by the great strength of the Tang Empire.

This kind of drama has been played several times. It is like this in Mexico and the Aztec Republic. The northern region cannot escape this fate.

in the american war
The army of the United States of America reached more than 230 million at its peak. During the five-year war, the military and civilian casualties totaled more than 5 million. The huge industrial country was wiped out, and the iron-like facts proved the powerful force of the Tang Empire. .

After Ichijo Koki resigned from the important position of Kanbaku, the current shogunate Kanbaro is the same as Erjo, whose power is basically equivalent to the prime minister of the cabinet, and the clan elders are equivalent to the ministers of various ministries. This is the unique power structure of Fuso Kingdom.

Later, Emperor Taishang's administration and samurai rose, and the power of the Seki family declined.

The imperial capital Chang'an you see in front of you has a population of more than 230 million. In the entire Tang Empire, there are 8 metropolises with a population of more than one million, and there are dozens of large and medium-sized cities with a population of more than 30.

The so-called "little devil" is a discriminatory intention;

Because the dozen or so Fusang people in strange costumes appeared on the pier, which attracted the attention of many people. Some people have already recognized it as the little Fusang devil, and all who looked at him were contemptuous and disdainful.

This is a person who dislikes Fusang's short stature, coupled with his unique attire, he is a bit ghostly, and has a sinister taste.

"I made you laugh, Master Taiko." Sitting in the front row, Yujing Owari turned half sideways and made an awkward bowing gesture, and replied with a humble expression; "The richness and power of the Great Tang Empire is far beyond imagination. , It takes two months to travel by boat from the north to the south of its territory. There are countless cattle and sheep, and mountains of grain. The industrial products produced are carried by giant steam ships and sold to Europe and all over the world. In such a powerful In front of the empire, you should maintain the necessary awe."

So, Yukyou Owari said seriously;

Is the territory of the Tang Empire from north to south twice as long as this long sea voyage?
How vast is that?
Apparently, Ichijou also had doubts on his face, but he didn't say it out.

Fuso includes the four big islands of Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Ezo, and more than 6800 other small islands. The combined land of more than 230 lord daimyos is not as large as a California province.

"Nani..."

Since the "Lieutenant Incident" caused by Shinsaku Takasugi, after the media exaggeration of the Tang Empire, many people in the empire have deep hostility and disgust towards the country of Fusang. slave".

You're too polite, don't start looking for trouble!
in front of the car
"Owari-kun, it seems that your life here is not satisfactory?" A Yuki's words implied deep meaning.

"Nani, it will take two months by boat?" Sitting next to Yuki Ichi was his second son Hideji Ichijo, who held an important position in the shogunate. He couldn't help being deeply shocked at this moment.

The entourage bowed like a bug, and climbed into the two cars from the legation one by one, one was a car and the other was a truck.

It is indeed a bit exaggerated for Owari Yuke to say this, but it is not entirely watery.

From the imperial capital Chang'an to the south for tens of thousands of kilometers, it is still within the rule of this huge empire. The vastness of its territory is unimaginable, and its economic strength is hard to match even France.

The impoverished and weak Fusang Island is really poor and poor. Farming cattle are treasures. Whoever dares to slaughter a farming cattle will definitely be a big event in ten miles and eight villages. He must beheaded or even his whole family to atone for his sin.

Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish.

From the emperor to the shogun, the Shiseki family and the lords of the feudal lords are generally vegetarians. It is a very happy thing to have a plate of fish sashimi at dinner.

the emperor ordered

Only the California province that you are looking at, Mr. Taiko, has two metropolises with a population of one million, Chang'an and Los Angeles, and its annual economic output is more than seven times that of Fusang.

What is the concept of taking a steam passenger ship for two months?
The steam passenger ship they took sailed from Edo Port, passed through Midway Island and Hawaii Island, and finally arrived in San Francisco Bay. The total time was only 27 days.

Most of the above-mentioned two northern regions are Chinese immigrants, and there is almost no suspense to pass the self-government bill.

As for eating beef, I couldn't eat it a few times that year.

In less than a month, millions of well-equipped, well-trained and powerful troops can be assembled, enough to defeat any opponent.

"Hi Yi, sorry for the trouble."

In the war-torn Central America, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and other three countries also cannot escape this fate.

The truck compartment is lowered, and people can sit on both sides. With a slight squeeze, a truck can pull more than 10 people.

"Lord Taige, Lord Lord (Note, referring to the respectful title for Yiyi Xiuci);

"In that case, then don't cause trouble for others, let's talk about it after getting in the car." Ichijo Koki keenly sensed the embarrassment in Minister Owari's words, and said smoothly.

In the eyes of Yukie Owari, those South American countries will not be able to escape the evil hands of the Tang Empire in the future. It is this barbaric and domineering expansion that fascinates him and makes him worship the Tang Empire crazily from the bottom of his heart.

What I said was not false. The territory of the Tang Empire stretched from the icy and snowy continent in the north of Fusang Island all the way to the southeast, to the imperial capital Chang'an. From north to south, it only spanned 1/4 of the vast territory.

In California, the nearby Oregon Province, and the Northern Province, there are more than one million beef cattle in stock. The cattle that are strictly prohibited from being slaughtered on Fusang Island are just food on the table for ordinary people every day.

The Fujiwara family is further divided into five branches, they are the first, second, nine, Konoe and Eagle Division. Since then, the five families have taken turns in this position, called "the five families of photography".

The Tang Empire has 49 provinces, 8 of which are larger than California.

Lord Taige, the richness of the Tang Empire is unimaginable to you.

Minister Yukyou Owari bowed deeply to them from a distance, causing the two mounted policemen to rein in their horses involuntarily and stop in place.Seeing the two cars with diplomatic mission license plates leave the pier one after the other, he was quite speechless.

in Fusang
From the period of the Shogunate in the late Warring States period to the current Edo period, Kanbai was the title of the Minister of Regent. In the early and mid-term, the family Fujiwara inherited the power of Guanbai, and was honored as "Shoguan Family".

From Dallas in the north along the coastline of the North American continent all the way south, to Central America and continue south to Tierra del Fuego, why doesn't it take more than two months?
He just omitted the territories of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and other countries in the middle, but what kind of problem is this?
As the Minister to Datang, I learned a lot through the information channels among the envoys of various countries. Yuke Owari knew that the Northern British Canada, Victoria Province of Great Britain and the Yukon Territory were promoting citizen self-government votes.

After the Muromachi period, Sheguan, like the imperial court, became in name only.

In Chang’an, the imperial capital alone, more than 32 beef cattle are slaughtered for food every year. What kind of extravagant behavior is this? "

The next step is to promote the referendum request to belong to the territory of Datang.

The troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers are the Dongyi Japanese!
Among this group of people, the most distinguished person is Guan Bai Yi Xingshu, the predecessor of the Yijia family. After resigning from Guan Bai's important position, he was called "Master Taige", which is an honorific title.

Just as he was getting into the car, two Royal Mounted Policemen on tall horses rode over not far away, and they seemed to be ready to check.

Even though Ichijo and Ichijo Hideji, father and son, were well-informed, they were shocked by this shocking news and were speechless, only amazed.

To the foreign envoys of various countries, the tricks played by the Tang Empire are like lice on a bald man's head...it couldn't be more obvious.

Look at what those places have been ravaged by now. Ten rooms are empty, bones are exposed in the wild, bandits are everywhere, and people are struggling to live. It is simply a criminal paradise with no order.

It is precisely because of long-term malnutrition that Japanese people are generally short in stature.

The height of the successive Tokugawa shoguns in the Edo period is also quite difficult to describe. The height of the first generation patriarch Tokugawa Ieyasu is between 156cm-159cm. Only 60cm.

The current shogun, Tokugawa Yoshiki, is only 137cm tall, and looks not much taller than a child.

Hearing that 32 beef cattle will be slaughtered in Chang'an City every year, this is simply exciting. The world view that has existed for decades has been subverted. Is there really such a powerful country in the world?
