Chapter 247: Raising tigers brings disaster (please subscribe for monthly tickets)

Although the Japanese country belongs to the radiation range of Chinese civilization, its relatively closed environment as an island country still creates its own uniqueness, which is still different from North Korea.

The writing of Japan mainly went through four stages.

1. The establishment stage of pronunciation and training: This stage occurred from the 5th century to the 8th century AD, marking the introduction of Chinese characters and the initial formation of Japanese characters.

At this stage, Chinese characters were used to represent phonetic pronunciation and training pronunciation to adapt to the pronunciation of the Japanese language.

2. Manyo Kana stage: This stage occurred from the 8th to 9th century AD and was the initial integration stage of Chinese characters and Japanese language.

In order to better express the grammar and pronunciation of the Japanese language, a writing system called Manyo Kana was created.

Manyo Kana is a kana character simplified based on the shape of kanji.

3. Katakana and Hiragana stage: This stage occurred from the 9th to the 10th century AD and was the mature period of Japanese writing.

During this stage, katakana and hiragana gradually developed into the dominant form of Japanese writing.

Katakana is mainly used to express the pronunciation of katakana, and hiragana is mainly used to express the pronunciation of kanji.

4. The mixed writing stage of Chinese characters and kana: This stage occurred from the 10th century AD to modern times, marking the complete maturity of Japanese writing.

At this stage, Japan began to use a mixture of Chinese characters and kana writing.

Kanji are mainly used to represent the meaning of Chinese characters, and kana are mainly used to represent the pronunciation of the Japanese language.

Although the Japanese country has developed its own mature name.

However, since most of its books and works came from the Central Plains, the upper class of Japan still used Chinese characters at a high rate.

Most of the senior Japanese officials can speak Chinese.

To completely conquer the Japanese country, its culture must be destroyed first.

A large number of Chinese investors recruited employees in the Japanese country, requiring Japanese employees to only speak Chinese and use Chinese characters.

Li Xianzhong opened a school for aristocratic children in Japan. All teaching materials used Chinese characters and spoke Chinese.

Li Xianzhong also, in the name of the emperor, collected Japanese books from various periods in the entire Japanese state, classifying them into classics and histories.

Then they were compiled into the "Sikuquanshu". Of course, its fundamental purpose was to classify and destroy Japanese books in the name of compilation.

Except for the official history of Japan, all those promoting Japanese culture and national independence will be destroyed.

Even the history of the Japanese state has been tampered with to a considerable extent, and only books written in Chinese are retained. All books using Japanese pseudonyms will be changed into Chinese characters or simply destroyed.

In this way, after a few years, the Japanese civilization will evolve from a civilization with a certain degree of independence into a derivative civilization of the Chinese civilization, and eventually completely dissolve into the Chinese civilization.

Of course, the complete conquest of Japan did not happen overnight.

Although Li Xianzhong forcibly gave himself the title of "Emperor", he obviously could not convince the public.

So he made an agreement with Japan's top figures that the next emperor must be a person with the blood of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty, and he must be born in Japan.

Although Xingzi is still young now, he will be able to have children in a few years. At that time, Li Xianzhong will naturally continue to be the emperor as long as his son is born in the Japanese country.

For these mountainous vassal states, Li Xianzhong recruited warriors from the vassal states to Burma to prepare for further invasion of India.

The combat effectiveness of these Japanese is pretty good, at least better than the barbarians from the Philippines and Annan.

Although everything went smoothly during this expedition, it still took more than a year.

In the blink of an eye, his prince Li Shengzu was already 15 years old, and it was time to accept the crown prince.

The choice of the Crown Princess has naturally become the focus of attention from all parties.

Ye He and Horqin, who had already formed a marriage alliance with Li Xianzhong, naturally wanted to get closer and strengthen their status in the Chinese court through the princess.

And those other Mongolian tribes that missed the marriage with Li Xianzhong hoped to marry the prince.

For a time, chieftains from various Mongolian tribes and even various tribes in Southeast Asia under Chinese rule also sent their daughters to the capital.

Even Kim Zidian of North Korea and Shimazu Iehisa of Japan expressed their desire to marry the Chinese crown prince.

In addition to these foreign races, the crown prince also had a strong voice in choosing a Han woman as his crown prince.

The reason is very simple. Most of Li Xianzhong's wives are from foreign races.

Strictly speaking, only Liu Rushi and Zhang Yan were Han women, and Zhang Yan also had the identity of the former empress dowager, so they could not be regarded as Li Xianzhong's official concubines.

If there is a problem with the bloodline on the emperor's side, he naturally has to look to the crown prince to make up for it.

Li Xianzhong thought over and over again and decided to follow the Ming Dynasty's method of selecting concubines and select them from the Chinese people.

Moreover, he specifically stipulated that the legitimate sons and concubines of the Chinese royal family must be Han women, and they would not engage in marriage, but would be selected directly from the Chinese people.

Li Xianzhong's statement also made all parties who were ready to move stop their small actions.

As a member of the Chinese royal family, especially a crown prince, it is inevitable that he has no control over his marriage.

Letting his son choose someone he likes as his wife from a limited range of choices is already the best he can do as a father.

The audition for the Chinese Crown Princess caused a huge sensation among the people.

Today's China has a vast territory, ranging from Nurgandusi in the north to the Malay Peninsula in the south.

So it was decided to hold the primary election locally. After more than a month of primary election, 3000 beauties from all over China gathered in the capital of China.

In the end, after 8 rounds of competition, Xing, a 15-year-old businessman's daughter from Suzhou, became the crown princess.

Yingluck, a descendant of the Siamese royal family, and Ulanzhu, the youngest daughter of the Mongolian Tushetu Khan of Outer Kalkha, became side concubines.

Crown Princess Xing naturally came to the position through audition.

However, the two concubines wanted to win over each other.

According to the latest intelligence, Li Zicheng, who was in the Western Regions, has now defeated the Chagatai Khanate.

Unlike Li Dingguo, Li Zicheng did not abide by his previous agreement.

According to the news sent by Song Xiance, Li Zicheng planned to learn from the Yelu Dashi of the Western Liao Dynasty and establish his own country in the Western Regions.

The fall of the Chagatai Khanate made Mobei and Moxi Mongolia very nervous, which is why they tried their best to move closer to China.

At this moment, the one-year war against Japan has just ended.

However, Li Xianzhong did not reduce the troops stationed in Japan. In addition to the main force of 2 forbidden troops, the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops were all stationed in Japan to prevent changes.

This expedition against Japan enabled China to obtain a large amount of gold, silver, copper and other mineral resources.

Just the gold and silver produced by Japan can bring an annual income of more than 2500 million silver dollars to the Chinese court.

In addition, the fleet led by Zheng Zhilong has also officially arrived in Europe. They have established trade relations in Seville in Spain, Lisbon in Portugal, and city-states such as Genoa and Venice in Italy. Chinese goods arrived directly in Europe, causing profits from maritime trade to rise significantly.

According to Fan Wencheng's prediction, the empire's fiscal revenue is expected to exceed 1 million Chinese silver dollars throughout the four years of Qianxi.

However, trade frictions with the Netherlands and England are also intensifying.

The Chinese Empire increased investment in the Burma Highway to complete it as soon as possible.

Li Dingguo planned to send troops to directly occupy Ceylon after the 3 Japanese vassal troops arrived in Bago to control this pearl of the Indian Ocean.

To be honest, China did not have the budget for a large-scale Western expedition.

Moreover, there are no specialties in the Western Regions to fool investors.

Nowadays, shipping is very developed, and the commercial value of the traditional "Silk Road" has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, Li Xianzhong planned to reduce the scale of the Western Expedition this time.

Xiong Tingbi prepared 3 elite troops in the northwest region, plus the 2 forbidden troops brought by Li Xian from the capital, the total force was controlled at 5.

The prince had just got married, and he shouldered the heavy responsibility of supervising the country. Naturally, he could not accompany him on the expedition.

However, the second eldest child, Li Shizu, is almost 14 now, and Li Xianzhong decided to take him with him to practice.

Li Xianzhong currently has four sons, two of whom were born to Queen Haqiya.

The third and fourth children were born to the concubines Hailanzhu and Bumubutai respectively. However, they are still under ten years old this year, so naturally they can only study in the capital.

Li Xianzhong, the third and fourth child, was not so strict and tried to give them some free space.

After all, they are not legitimate sons, and Li Xianzhong doesn't force them to learn the art of emperors.

However, the concubine Bumubutai attached great importance to the studies of the third and fourth sons, so the two sons did not have an easy life.

The eldest of the two sons is calm and thoughtful, and Li Xianzhong has always trained him as his successor.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Xianzhong often fought in the north and south, and the eldest brother sat in the capital to supervise the country. Now he is very handy.

The second child is bold, careful, resolute and fierce. To be honest, Li Xianzhong feels that the second child is more like him.

In fact, the person he likes the most is the second child, Li Shizu.

It's a pity that as the emperor of the Chinese Empire, he cannot express his love to his son like an ordinary father.

He could only bury this love deeply in his heart.

If his preference is noticed by someone with ulterior motives, it will definitely be a disaster for the Chinese Empire.

The example of Wanli doting on King Fu is not far away. Without the "national dispute" back then, how could he have taken advantage of the situation to dominate the world?

Therefore, he was very conflicted in his heart. He wanted to train his second son into a commander who was good at fighting, but he was also afraid of causing a "Xuanwumen Incident"!

However, the relationship between the two brothers is very good. This time the second brother was able to go with his father on the expedition thanks to his brother, the prince, who interceded in front of him!

Li Xianzhong led 2 imperial troops all the way west to Xining Guard in Qinghai.

Their target this time is Dongkeer Temple on the edge of Qinghai Lake.

At this time, the leaders of the three Mongolian tribes in Transkarkha, Chechen Khan, Tushetu Khan, and Zasaktu Khan, had been waiting here for a long time.

Tuxie Tuhan, who had just married Li Xianzhong, naturally became the leader of Mobei Mongolia.

He bowed respectfully to Li Xianzhong and said: "Great Khan of Heaven, at your invitation, the three tribes of Outer Khalkha are here to ally with Huaxia to jointly attack Li Zicheng's Dashun Army!"

Li Xianzhong looked around and said with some regret: "Didn't the Junggar tribe of Oirat Mongolia send someone to come here to join the alliance?"

Tushetu Khan said respectfully: "Batul Hutaiji, the leader of the Mongolian Junggar tribe, is currently facing a joint attack by the Kazakh Khanate and the Dashun Army, and is no longer able to come to join the alliance."

The resources in the Western Region were scarce, and Li Xianzhong originally wanted to control Li Zicheng with food and supplies.

Unexpectedly, he no longer needs China's supplies.

At this time, the Chagatai Khanate had long been divided into eastern and western parts, among which the eastern Chagatai Khanate was also called the "Turpan Khanate".

The Turpan Khanate once sent troops to capture the "Seven Guards of Guanxi" of the Ming Dynasty.

After Li Zicheng captured the Turpan Khanate, he used the "Seven Guards of Kansai" to exchange a large amount of food and armaments with China.

I thought this was a good start, but I didn't expect that Li Zicheng would stop trading with China after that.

He just relied on his own strength to take over the Western Chagatai Khanate, which had a wider territory, also known as the Yarkand Khanate.

Li Zicheng not only captured the Chagatai Khanate, but also drove away the Heshuote Khanate that originally occupied Qinghai and Uszang.

This is also the reason why Li Xianzhong can't sit still. Today, the Dashun Kingdom has become the dominant power in the Western Regions.

What's even more frightening is that although the forces of Tsarist Russia have not yet reached the northeastern region, they have already appeared in the Mobei area.

If Li Zicheng joins forces with Tsarist Russia, he will undoubtedly be feeding a tiger into trouble!

Li Xianzhong laughed loudly and said: "Li Zicheng is just a group of defeated soldiers. As soon as my army arrives, he will be wiped out!"

At this time, Tuxie Tuhan and others subconsciously glanced at the 5 troops behind Li Xianzhong.

This group of Mongolians had long been frightened by China's Liaodong cavalry.

Several people immediately said: "The three tribes of Mongolia in Mobei are willing to dispatch 8 elite cavalry to help Tianming Khan pacify the Western Regions."

At this time, a monk next to Tuxie Tuhan successfully attracted Li Xianzhong's attention.

He is Ngawang Lobsang, another protagonist of this alliance.

In fact, the so-called Manchu-Mongolian marriage was not the main reason why the later Qing Dynasty was able to control Mongolia.

Mongolians on the grasslands are constantly entering into marriage alliances with powerful surrounding regimes, and it is very common for them to marry their daughters.

What really made the Mongols defect to the Central Plains Dynasty at that time was that the Chinese government did not interfere with their religious beliefs.

Tsarist Russia wanted to force the Mongols to convert to Orthodox Christianity, and the Mongols would definitely choose to defect to the Central Plains dynasty that would not interfere with their religious beliefs.

It is for this reason that Li Xianzhong officially conferred Ngawang Lobsang this time.

And issued a gold seal to him, confirming Ngawang Lobsang's religious status in the Uzang area.

Ngawang Lobsang also declared vassalage to China on behalf of the Uzbek region.

China officially dispatched ministers stationed in Tibet to assist them in managing the snow areas.

With Wu Zang's surrender to China, it also means that Li Xianzhong has regained all the solid land lost by the Ming Dynasty.

This "East Ker Temple Alliance" was very successful.

Li Xianzhong also drank and chatted with the khan kings of various ethnic groups, and slept until noon of the next day before sobering up.

But at this time, he heard bad news. Dashun's cavalry appeared near Qinghai Lake. The second prince secretly led 800 cavalry to spy on the enemy. So far, there is no news!
