Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 651 Why Danggui
Everyone in the Ganlu Hall in Chang'an and the Guangzheng Hall in Bianliang was speechless.

However, the emperor and his ministers in the Zhenguan period now all knew the crime of the Japanese invasion, and they also saw the appearance of the earth's heavenly palace.

Therefore, many people lament that they don't know how much this thing costs, and they don't know what it would be like if countries fought against each other.

Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde looked at each other and sighed:
What use will we fighting generals be to future generations?
After being amazed for a moment, the people of Zhao Song were led by Zhao Pu to think about the affairs of maritime commerce.

"The younger generation said that this thing is so solemn, most of it is not an ordinary thing in the future. Most of it is collected from the outer space, and the power of various countries is combined. After a long time, this 'little boy' appeared."

"It's better to retreat and make a net than to be envious of fish in the deep."

"When the Mongols invaded China, the essence of our Song Dynasty's learning was probably destroyed, such as the study of principles and mathematics..."

So in the end Zhao Kuangyin sighed, shifted his attention away from the big mushroom, and tried hard to think about how to make all trade routes at sea obey Song's orders before unifying the Central Plains.

After all, whether we are looking at Han Shizhong's achievement of defeating the Huangtian Dang with his navy, or the emphasis on maritime development in later generations when talking about the achievements of the two Song dynasties, or the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy that was previously lamented, it can be seen that this ocean close to China's national borders has always been an important territory that has been neglected.

Since this is the case, as the Song Dynasty inherited the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it is his responsibility to make up for this shortcoming.

[The explosions of "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" directly destroyed Japan's divine ideology.

However, the militarism that took root in this trend of thought did not disappear with the collapse of militarism.

The blood of 40 million victims is still flowing underground, and the lights of the shrines in Japan that enshrine war criminals are still burning.

To this day, the scars left by Japan in China have not yet healed.

Japan itself is already eager to put this invasion behind it.

At the end of the 19th century, Japan provoked the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 without any reason and eventually seized Izu Island.

In response to this act of aggression, the Japanese people were "extremely excited and jubilant."

Thus, Izu Island was colonized and ruled by Japan for fifty years.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang could vaguely feel that the voice of the young man in the light curtain seemed to be much more distant, and his words seemed to be full of unclear meanings.

But even so, the number of 40 million people almost made his breathing stop for a moment.

There was no need to use the numbers from the calculation of gold and silver to support his calculation, because he also clearly remembered another thing.

In the third year of Hongwu, an imperial decree was issued, requiring officials to verify the number of people, register the household registration of the country, and issue household registration cards to each household.

After ten years of investigation, although it has not yet been completely concluded, the Ministry of Revenue has already formed a vague scope:

Today, the Ming Empire has approximately 10 million households and over 60 million people.

And this country of Japan could actually lose more than 40 million Chinese people? Almost as much as the Ming Dynasty at that time?
The first thought that came to my mind was that it was unbelievable, but when I recalled the scene of the foreign country's fleets firing hundreds of cannons, and the fact that the words of later generations were plain, but the meaning contained in them was more than a thousand pounds, it was completely unreasonable and there was no need to fake it.

And the culprit who caused such a heinous disaster was actually worshipped by Japan and enjoyed blood food?
"Okay, okay... We will remember this Japan!"

"Our descendants must never forget!"

"Even if I use all my strength for three lifetimes, I will definitely..."

Before he could finish his words, Ming Tianzi gritted his teeth and saw that the picture on the screen had changed again.

The black and white images and text that appeared returned to darkness, and then the images slowly lit up, and the sounds of questions and answers reached his ears.

[So what are you studying about Chinese history now? ]

The question was asked in a sincere voice, and finally the screen lit up completely, revealing a young girl with a shy smile.

Even though her makeup and clothes were completely different from those of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang still recognized her at a glance:

"This girl... is most likely a descendant of the Huaixi Huaxia people!"

He had been wandering in Huaixi for several years and was very familiar with the appearance of the Han people in the south.

And immediately I was curious about this question:
"Chinese history...how do later history books praise us?" Behind Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma turned her head away, unable to bear to watch. She was a kind-hearted woman and already had a vague guess.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him expectantly, but what he got was silence, which made him frown again:

"Hmm...it seems that our thousand-year history is not easy to learn..."

【I study Japanese history. 】

Emperor Ming almost fell down, but he managed to calm himself down:

"Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you ..."

But the content on the screen once again shattered his thoughts. The screen zoomed out slightly, and an older woman's voice interrupted:
[She is a little weak in history... because she likes the ones about Japan now...

Oh...oh! So if you don't want to learn Chinese history, you can choose to study Japanese history? 】

The girl blinked her eyes and said in a serious and thoughtful manner:

【If you think you have enough credits】

The answer is self-evident.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became furious and kicked over the vase next to him:

"How can you speak Chinese and yet despise Chinese history?"

"How dare you do that?!"

"You don't know your ancestors, you only learn from the Japanese pirates who invaded China, how can you speak for the Chinese people?"

"This Japanese pirate has such a wicked ambition, do he really dare to use Japan to usurp China?"

For the Ming emperor, the pride that he had just built up by seeing the sight of Guanguangmu being honored as "Hongwu Emperor" by later generations by Huan Hou and Song Taizu for driving out the invaders and restoring China was shattered again by this simple scene.

Logically speaking, he should have been used to all this.

Since the uprising, there have been tens of millions of people who have kowtowed to the Mongols. But this is just a little girl in the future. She should have grown up reading the story of Emperor Hongwu expelling the Hu and Meng people. She should have remembered the blood feud of 40 million people mentioned by this young man, but...

The screen went dark again.

[The issue of Izu is quite complicated. It involves more than just the issue of Japan. I will be able to review it in detail later when I talk about Zheng Chenggong.

Let's get back to the topic of Japan. In fact, if we think back from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, we will find that the arrival of the little boy and the fat man was Japan's independent choice over the past few hundred years.

Forty years before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Japanese scholar Sato Nobuhiro wrote "The Secret Strategy for Unifying the Universe", in which he put forward in quite a specific manner the "first country established on earth, the foundation of all nations in the world", and believed that "the world is all counties, and the rulers of all nations are all servants", and proposed the route of "occupying Liaodong and then going south of the Yangtze River, only then can China be destroyed".

Going back a hundred years, during the Tokugawa Shogunate era, the stage drama "The Battle of Koxinga" was all the rage in Japan. The story was about Japanese samurai sweeping across China and marching into the capital of the Ming Dynasty, intending to establish a country belonging to Japan here.

Going back another hundred years, Toyotomi Hideyoshi called for conquering all 400 states of the Ming Dynasty, moving the capital to Beiping and annexing India.

One hundred years earlier, Japan committed hundreds of thousands of murders in Fujian alone. In the capture of Xinghua Prefecture alone, 17 Jinshi, 53 Juren, 356 Xiucai and more than civilians died.

I wonder if Zhu Yuanzhang would regret his decision to designate Japan as a country not to be conquered when he knows all this in his afterlife?
However, most people did not care much about it. After all, from the third year to the fourteenth year of Hongwu, more than one or two waves of Ming envoys were killed when they entered Japan.

Zhu's slogans were loud and clear, but in the end, there was no sign of the emperor's wrath. No wonder his ambitions grew wildly and he couldn't hold back. 】

As the young man recounted the events one by one, the emperor's anger visibly rose.

But with the final episode coming out, I don't know where to vent my anger.

His face flushed red, but his aura was visibly weakened. He jumped up and down to defend himself:
"We still haven't eliminated the remaining Yuan!"

"And remember the danger of the Yuan army drowning!"
