I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1119 The God King's Heavenly Tour
The Kingdom of Dog Slave has perished.

Then, on its ruins, the Han Dynasty seized the opportunity to establish a new order.

With each order issued by Su Yao, the entire Japanese archipelago was incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Furthermore, since they had almost completely wiped out all the forces of the Dog Slave Kingdom on Kyushu Island, he was able to easily govern the area directly, ruling it with military guards and a county system.

As for the first batch of immigrants, they were naturally the three thousand soldiers he assigned to Jiang Qin.

These soldiers mostly came from Liaodong and Lelang, and many of them were not yet married.

Now that they have been sent here to cultivate land and build a city, Su Yao is very generous. He directly distributed all the Japanese women captured in this battle as rewards, giving each woman more than one.

These people would settle down and establish themselves here, becoming the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty's rule over the Japanese islands.

The establishment of Yinghai Commandery and Jiang Qin's appointment marked the beginning of a new phase in the Han Dynasty's rule over the Japanese islands. On the shores of Hakata Bay, Han soldiers were busy felling trees and quarrying stone, preparing to build the foundation for "Fusang Castle." The rescued members of the Han delegation became the initial administrative framework and communication bridge for this new city.

Queen Himiko of Yamatai, having witnessed firsthand the destruction of the Kingdom of Dog Slave and the swift and decisive actions of the Han army, had long since lost any remaining hope. She not only had no objections to Su Yao and Wan Nian's arrangements, but became even more attentive. She proactively provided a map of Honshu Island (drawn by a priestess on animal hides), offered a large quantity of local specialties, and even requested the Tang Emperor and His Majesty's permission to send noble sons from Yamatai back to Luoyang immediately to study with them.

"No rush, no rush, let's go to your house first."

While Jiang Qin and others led their troops to measure the land and plan the city walls, Su Yao, along with Wan Nian, Safia, and Himiko, boarded the Griffin and flew towards the core area of ​​the Yamatai Kingdom. He wanted to see with his own eyes whether Queen Himiko, who had voluntarily submitted, could truly shoulder the responsibility of being a "model for vassal states."

The capital of the Yamatai Kingdom was located in present-day Nara Prefecture, Japan. As the supreme ruler of the Japanese archipelago at that time, more than thirty "countries" depended on it for survival. Naturally, the scale of its capital was much more orderly and grand than that of the stone fortress of the Dog Slave Kingdom.

Its palaces are built against the mountain and surrounded by rammed earth walls. Although the streets are mostly lined with thatched-roof houses, there are few primitive cave settlements like those in the Dog Slave Kingdom.

The residents of the city were terrified when they suddenly saw Griffin's enormous figure flying towards them.

When had the Japanese in the city ever seen such a sight? Instantly, cries of alarm, shouts of grief, and shouts of worship filled the air. Many people thought it was Amaterasu Omikami manifesting herself, or that a new calamity was about to befall them, and they all bowed and worshipped towards the sky. The entire city was plunged into a frenzy of chaos and awe.

Himiko, perched on Griffin's back, watched as the familiar capital city below trembled like never before because of her return, her emotions a complex mix of feelings. She felt a sense of awe and power emanating from the capital, yet also a deep fear of the great god beside her.

Su Yao maneuvered Griffin to slowly descend on the open ground in front of the palace. The guards here were already terrified by the sight in the air. When they saw the Queen step down from the back of the golden divine beast, accompanied by two men and women dressed in magnificent clothes and with extraordinary bearing like gods, they were even more frightened. They scrambled to make way, prostrated themselves on the ground, and dared not look directly at her.

"Rise, all of you," Himiko instructed softly in Japanese, striving to maintain her composure as queen, but a slight tremor in her voice betrayed her inner turmoil. "Quickly inform the ministers of the kingdom to prepare the highest level of ceremony to welcome the arrival of these two great deities!"

Su Yao and Wan Nian exchanged a glance but did not stop Himiko's arrangement. They needed this sense of ritual to further solidify the authority of the Han Dynasty.

Soon, the nobles and ministers of Yamatai arrived hastily, dressed in their finest silk or linen clothes. Their faces showed surprise, fear, and disbelief. Guided by Himiko, they knelt and bowed deeply to Wannian and Su Yao. Although their etiquette was crude, their reverence was utterly genuine. Su Yao, holding Wannian's hand, slowly began to speak, deliberately in Chinese. The local Japanese could not understand his words, but this only deepened their awe, and they all prostrated themselves in silence.

This was a brilliant idea that Su Yao had for the Japanese emperor in later generations.

The Emperor is known as the Imperial Voice Broadcaster, whose unique tone signifies divinity. Su Yao now intends to use this to establish the supreme status of the Chinese language.

His voice was steady and carried an unquestionable authority. Although the language was incomprehensible, his voice was like a booming bell, possessing a powerful and awe-inspiring force, as if the law of heaven had descended.

Himiko immediately knelt down, completely bewildered, but that didn't stop her from embellishing her account.

"The Heavenly God said: The Dog Slave Kingdom was rebellious and has been annihilated by the Heavenly Army, reduced to ashes. Kyushu Island is now Yingzhou Prefecture of the Divine Continent, directly under the jurisdiction of the Great Han's Haidong Prefecture. Our Yamatai Kingdom, deeply understanding righteousness, has voluntarily submitted. The Divine King is very pleased, and therefore has come here personally to verify our nation's sincerity."

Himiko lay prostrate on the ground, disregarding whether Su Yao meant it that way, and kept using various awe-inspiring terms such as "gods" and "heavenly soldiers" to highlight the greatness of the gods and their kingdom, while also using their power to consolidate her rule.

With each word he spoke, the noble ministers behind him would kowtow in unison, their foreheads striking the stone slab with a "thump-thump" sound.

Su Yao had already unlocked the Japanese language skill through the system, so he naturally knew that the translation of Himiko differed from his original meaning. However, he did not point it out, but simply raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a knowing smile.

Himiko's little scheme was perfectly clear to him. Using power to consolidate authority is a survival strategy of the weak. As long as the general direction is correct, a few minor embellishments are harmless and can even highlight the "sacredness" and "authority" of the Chinese language. After all, only the true words of the "gods" need to be carefully interpreted and conveyed by "divine messengers."

For the still relatively primitive tribes on the Japanese islands, this approach was quite appropriate. He knew very well that in regions with lower levels of civilization, religion and mythology were often more effective than simple administrative orders.

So he even made Griffin circle over the capital of Yamatai a few more times, and then casually showed off his power of thunder and fire, which made the Japanese below kneel down even more frantically, further confirming the "miracle".

Sure enough, soon after, the priests and priestesses under Himiko began to preach Su Yao's greatness and divine power to the people of the city. They described Griffin as the messenger of Amaterasu, revered Su Yao as the supreme "Heavenly Emperor," and regarded the Empress of Ten Thousand Years as the incarnation of the "Sun Goddess" on earth.

The story of Su Yao riding a griffin, wielding a golden pestle, and eradicating the Dog Slave Kingdom was compiled into a popular legend that was passed down orally among the tribes of the Japanese islands and later evolved into part of the Japanese creation myth.

These carefully crafted myths quickly spread throughout Yamatai and even the surrounding vassal states. Su Yao's image was continuously deified, and even rudimentary totems and portraits began to be worshipped.

In this way, the divine status of the Han Dynasty in the Japanese archipelago is now unshakeable.

Next, as long as the legitimacy of the Yamatai Kingdom is established and it is supported and transformed into a qualified agent, Su Yao's Japan development plan can be officially launched.

So, that evening, after the three of them had a simple dinner prepared by Himiko's men, Su Yao couldn't wait to draw up a blueprint for the future in the royal palace's bedroom.
