Chapter 842 Old thief Sima comes out to take the blame
Wang Pu's guess is actually quite accurate.
The three monks, Ping Tong, are not serious monks at all.
If you think about it, you will know that there are many Buddhist sects in Japan today, and each party dislikes each other. At the same time, they have their own powerful powers. For hundreds of years, there has never been a unified leader.
This resulted in the Japanese Buddhist sect, even if they saw the huge benefits that the Six Dharma Sect could bring to them, it was impossible for them to unite in a short time, or even impossible, and reach a unanimous request to invite Murong Nobunaga to come and help.
Moreover, it is impossible for monks who have reached the highest level of Buddhism to understand the principle that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.
Those who insist that they don’t understand can only be those who lack knowledge and experience.
Or maybe he didn't care at all whether he could send the invited god away, because his original plan was just to eat some scraps with the invited god.
The black dog slowly walked into the dining hall where the monks had breakfast. Since the monks of the Six Dharma Sect often need to travel over mountains and ridges, which consumes a lot of energy, most monks in newly conquered places practice a three-meal system.
.
Today coincides with the Dharma Protector Day, which is a relatively important festival in the Six Dharma Sect. It originated from the day when Saint Zhang led his army into Tianzhu and eliminated the first Brahman warlord to protect the Dharma of the Buddha.
Therefore, on this festive morning, the breakfast served is extremely rich.
The seafood porridge is sweet and delicious, the Chongluo white flour steamed cake is extremely soft and glutinous, and the fried tofu stuffed buns are even more delicious.
The three of them were sleeping, but after a while they were attracted by the fragrance. The three of them were not polite and mixed in with the monks who preached the Dharma. They started to eat haphazardly like reincarnated ghosts.
While eating, the two attendants were still muttering in their mouths, "It's too much to wake up early in the morning and eat white rice porridge, white flour pancakes and tofu, which is better than Iki Mamoru, who was born in the sixth position!"
After saying that, the attendant poured a large bowl of seafood porridge into his mouth with a clang, and was about to scoop up the next bowl without wiping his mouth. However, when he turned around, he saw a man standing behind him who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Hei Gou'er gently stretched out his hand and pushed the attendant onto the seat. The attendant wanted to resist, but suddenly he felt the hand on his shoulder squeeze hard. Half of his body suddenly felt sore and numb, and he couldn't stand up.
.
Monk Pingtong felt that he was beginning to sweat on his forehead, because the man in front of him seemed to have a strange intimidation that made people dare not move.
With his smiling eyes and big mouth, he looked like a venomous snake spitting messages at people.
Hei Gou'er was only nine years old when he helped Zhang Zhao blow up the city wall outside Shule City. But at that time, he was a thoughtful and clever person who was used to observing people's words and making up lies and performing them so that even Zhang Zhao could not see through them.
Among the three children that year, Huabu married the old Zhang Zhong. Now he has three children and has been appointed as the wife of Xijiang County.
Huang Yang'er joined the Jinyi Guards for a period of time, but his talent was limited, and he finally transferred to Tiangong Institute to become a bachelor of arithmetic.
The fate of these two is very good, but the black dog is the best among the three.
Because he looked the same as a Han Chinese, he was finally selected by Zhang Zhao to be the heir to Huo Sheng'er, Zhang Zhao, the first 108 generals of the Westward Journey who died in battle.
Therefore, although Black Gou'er has no blood relationship with Zhang Zhao, and there are doubts about whether Hei Gou'er is a Han Chinese, he is indeed a genuine descendant of Zhang Zhou's royal family.
The adoptive father Huo gave birth to a son, Zhang Zhao, who still had the divine status of Jialan in the Liufa Sect.
These two advantages, coupled with the fact that he was already a good material for being a secret agent, made him soar like a rocket as soon as he entered the Jinyi Guards. Because of his always smiling face, but ruthless attacks, he was known among the insiders as the Smiling King of Hell.
Being stared at by such a person, Monk Pingtong felt a burst of pain in his lower abdomen and was sweating profusely on his back.
This feeling was experienced when he was a child, before he secretly ate all the nigiri (rice balls) used to entertain guests at home, causing his parents to make a big fool of himself.
"You are not a monk!" Hei Gou'er said very firmly, and then quickly saw the defensive look on Pingtong's face, and immediately added another sentence.
"Converting to Buddhism is just a cover for you. Do you, the bold and literate warriors of Japan, like to use this as a cover?"
The literacy mentioned by Hei Gou'er does not refer to ordinary literacy.
In Japan, saying that a person is literate is a very high-level compliment, because Hiragana and Katakana are still at a very preliminary stage, and literacy refers to being able to read most Chinese characters with proficient Tang pronunciation.
Such people, not to mention in the Japanese country, even in the Tang Dynasty, those who can understand most characters are all literate people.
In the Japanese country, those who could meet this standard were already qualified to be officials. No! They should definitely be officials.
Because currently in Japan, government documents and even anything related to writing are all written in Chinese characters.
Hiragana and katakana still have about 150 years left, and will only appear in small amounts in official documents in the late Heian period.
At the same time, the characters commonly used on the Korean peninsula are also Chinese characters. The Korean characters that only have pinyin function were not invented until hundreds of years later.
This is also the main reason why although the great masters of the Liufa Sect have already found out that this person is not very proficient in Buddhism, Black Gouer did not let the Jinyi guards directly execute the monk Pingtong and serve him.
A cultured person must, of course, use the means of a cultured person.
"Your Excellency is really courageous. You dare to cross the sea to gamble on your luck without knowing anything clearly. No, you should call this gambling on life!"
Black Gou'er was a little emotional, but if he knew the future temperament of this poor islander, he wouldn't be so surprised.
Betting on the destiny of the country is not surprising. It is reflected on the individual. This kind of gambling on life is not surprising.
"There is no other way, we have to survive." A look of pain and relief appeared on Monk Pingtong's face.
Facing a top spy and torture expert like Hei Gou'er, a simple exchange between the two parties made Monk Pingtong realize that the time has come to tell the truth, otherwise big problems may arise.
“Dazaifu requires so much rice to be turned in every year that it’s overwhelming!
Iki Shou can't eat even one strong meal every day. He can only eat rice porridge once a month. Most of the time, he can only eat rice porridge.
When I got to the second lieutenant, I ate pickled green plums and white porridge with visible figures. Even on a good day, the common people couldn't even eat grass porridge.
The day before yesterday, we went to sea to exterminate pirates and beheaded more than sixty people, but they were not even rewarded with a hundred jewels. How should their families live with the ten or so followers who died in the battle?"
Qiang rice refers to a kind of brown rice with a rough cooking process and rough quality. It was the basic food for petty officials, officials and warriors at this time.
Ji rice is roughly equivalent to white rice in later generations, and was quite precious at this time.
It's just that the sixth-ranked Ikimori can't even afford one meal a day. If he can eat rice rice once a month, it's considered a tooth festival. This is indeed a bit miserable.
"玏" is a variant of "zhen". When the Japanese were minting coins, they used this character on the copper coins minted in the Hetong period (708), and called them "Hetongkaijue".
Bao, here naturally refers to the word Tongbao on the copper coin.
Therefore, Japanese people generally like to use the word "珏宝" to refer to copper coins. Historically, the Japanese copper coins of this period were called the Twelve Coins of the Imperial Dynasty.
Black Gou'er is a little bit tasteful, because in the Japanese country, ordinary people don't need high-end goods like copper coins.
Not to mention the Japanese country, even in the Central Plains, ordinary farmers did not have many opportunities to come into contact with copper coins. Most of them had to be in physical objects such as grain and cloth.
What kind of person needs to be compensated with copper coins after a battle to exterminate pirates?
Obviously, only professional soldiers who do not work on the land will need such items that are easy to carry and have high value.
The word "郞cong", if not translated very accurately, can be translated as "buqu".
Dazaifu was a management organization established by the Japanese imperial court in the Chikuzen Kingdom in northern Kyushu.
Because Kyushu Island is separated from the mainland and has a relatively early history of development, in order to stabilize the rule of this place, the Japanese court specially established Dazaifu, which can be understood as the Governor's Palace or the Governor's Palace.
So what kind of family can accept orders from Dazaifu, send ships to the outer sea to attack islands, and still have its own tribe?
It can only be the samurai family located in Kitakyushu.
What Monk Pingtong kept nagging and repeating over and over again was that the imperial court was too oppressive and they really couldn't survive, so they contacted the monks at Jingdong Temple in Pingcheng, hoping to get support from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Establishing a Buddhist kingdom on earth and so on.
But when Black Gouer heard what Monk Pingtong said that he thought was logical and self-consistent, it was undoubtedly full of loopholes. He was bullying the people of the Central Plains for not knowing the inside story of Japan.
Black Gou'er smiled coldly, "If Master still doesn't tell the truth, then this meal will be Master's meal.
You don’t think that I, the monks of the Liufa Sect, don’t dare to kill people, do you?
The life of the monks and laypeople in Heijōkyō was easy, and even the monks of Iki and Bunzen were not so difficult that they could not survive.
Besides, you are just a fake monk from Bunzen country, you open and close your mouth to seize Heian Kyo, don’t you think you are exaggerating a bit?”
While they were talking, breakfast was already over, and there was only a sound of footsteps, and then Monk Pingtong and the other three were surrounded.
Only then did they realize that the people who were having breakfast with them were not monks at all, but soldiers each wearing a suit of ring mail and a robe.
Moreover, these soldiers always exude the aura of a ferocious beast. Even if he glances sideways at you, you will feel that he is going to pounce on you and eat you alive in the next second.
Wait, Armored Soldier, Monk Pingtong was shocked, and then he discovered a problem that he had never thought about before, that is, the Zhou army was probably the same as the Tang Dynasty, equipped with a large number of armored soldiers.
's army.
In Japan, Emperor Tenmu banned the consumption of cows, horses, dogs, apes, and chickens three hundred years ago. Emperor Shomu even banned the killing of cows and horses two hundred years ago.
By this time, the Japanese in the Heian period basically did not eat meat.
Only a small number of warriors and people whose status was so low that they were not taken seriously would hunt some pheasants and wild ducks to supplement their protein.
But it is not eaten regularly, but is given to sick people or women to replenish their bodies after giving birth.
I don’t know if there are even 10,000 people in the entire Japanese country who are not afraid of meat and fish.
Without the habit of eating meat, you can imagine what the so-called Japanese warriors were like. They were sallow and skinny, short in stature, and could not bear heavy weights in iron armor.
"She Ren, I wake up early to practice martial arts. I have been eating vegetarian food this morning for fear of not having enough strength.
Although these three Japanese are small and thin, they can still produce several kilograms of meat when grilled, and these three sets of courage are just right for the commander to make wine."
A bald soldier said to the black dog in an angry voice, and you could easily tell from his tone that he was not trying to scare you, but that he really meant it.
Monk Pingtong suddenly trembled, and his whole body became cold. He remembered a legend, saying that among these Zhou people there was a team called Beggar, who were transformed by devils who escaped from hell.
They don't want military rations. When they are hungry, they just kill one person and roast the fat parts to eat them. The leader is a devil who likes to eat people's courage.
This was too terrifying. Japanese people like Pingtong didn't even eat pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks. Now they suddenly found themselves surrounded by a group of man-eating demons. They were immediately frightened to death. The two followers even started to tremble in their legs.
"This is your last chance, because I'm leaving right now."
Black Gou'er said coldly, not to mention these three Japanese people, even he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable among these thieves and murderers.
After all, other evil people just want to rob you of your property, and at worst they will kill you, but people like beggars can use you as food.
Under the terrifying pressure, Monk Pingtong couldn't bear it anymore. He knelt down on the ground with a thud, prostrated himself on the ground and shouted to the black dog:
"Qin Pingtong, the second lieutenant of the Zuobingwei of the Toyozen State Enterprise Rescue County, has urgent information and is willing to visit His Highness the King of Yan again."
.....
How many of the Japanese people migrated from the mainland, or how many people have Han ancestry, has been a topic of debate on the Internet for generations.
But in fact, even at this time, this issue is no longer clear. It is not too little, but too much, and the truth is buried under the mud and sand.
At present, there are three main groups in Japan who claim to be Han people who came across the sea.
In the early years, the Xiwen clan settled in the Hanoi Kingdom, the Eastern Han clan in the Yamato Kingdom, and the Qin clan in the Shancheng Kingdom.
Although these three large mainland immigrant clans basically live in the Kinki area, they originally migrated from Kitakyushu and the northern part of Honshu Island.
Among them, the Xiwen family claimed to be descendants of the Lelang Wang family, the Eastern Han family claimed to be descendants of Emperor Xian of Han, and the Qin family was even more powerful. They claimed to be descendants of Qin Shihuang.
Among them, the most famous ones in later generations are the Eastern Han family and the Qin family.
Among them, the Eastern Han Dynasty created an Azhi envoy, Liu Azhi, who claimed to be the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. It is said that hundreds of surnames were reproduced in the Japanese country, the most famous ones being Takahashi, Harada and other surnames.
The most famous of the Qin family are naturally the Shimazu family of the later Satsuma domain and the former Prime Minister of Japan Tsugumi Hata.
This brother went around claiming that their ancestor’s surname was Qin, but maybe he thought it was a bit too eye-catching to claim that his ancestor was Qin Shihuang, so Brother Yu Tianzi believed that he was a descendant of Xu Fu, and even went to Xu Fu’s hometown of Ganyu County in Jiangsu Province twice to trace his roots.
.
As for authenticity, I can only say that it is probably about 60% true and 40% false. Among them, the more convincing one is the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although they are unlikely to be direct descendants of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, many of them must be members of the Liu family. Anyway, after the reproduction of the Han Dynasty, Han clan clan members account for a large proportion of Liu surnames.
The reason why they moved to the Japanese country was probably because of the evil done by Sima Yi, an old thief.
In the past, Sima Yi fell into Liaodong, killed Gongsun Yuan, and killed all Gongsun Yuan's scholar-bureaucrats in the Yan Kingdom to build the Jingguan.
From a national level, if the Gongsun family wants to stand on its own, it is a good thing to defeat them, but you can't fucking kill all the Han elites in Liaodong!
Are you sick? The two Han dynasties finally managed to breed hundreds of thousands of Han people in Liaodong, and the best tens of thousands of them were all killed.
They were an important force in Chineseizing Liaodong and the four Han counties and suppressing the barbarians in Liaodong!
To put it another way, if you want to kill people, just kill them. After killing them, should we send officials and generals from the interior to Liaodong to replace the original Han officials and generals in Liaodong and stabilize the place?
You killed tens of thousands of Liaodong officials, soldiers and literati and then walked away. What the hell is that!
Therefore, in history, after Sima Yi withdrew the Wei army, hundreds of thousands of Liaodong people were left with nothing to rely on.
They were either attacked by barbarians from Liaodong and fled back to Youzhou with a narrow escape, or they took the initiative to merge with the barbarians. Most of the remaining people went south from Lelang County and finally flowed into the Japanese country, becoming the ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The ancestor of the Xiwen family, the Lelang Wang family, probably also crossed the sea to the Japanese country during the subsequent Northern and Southern Dynasties period when they could no longer stay in Liaodong and the peninsula.
As for the Qin family, their composition is more complicated. The credible explanation is that the Qin family, which originated in Northern Kyushu, is a huge political group of immigrants from the mainland.
They may be the Han people from the peninsula to the Japanese country and even other relatively civilized ethnic groups from the late Qin Dynasty to the two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, after the collapse of the later Qin Dynasty. After arriving in Northern Kyushu, they formed the Japanese Qin family for hundreds of years in order to unite.
At present, these three clans are all in the middle and lower levels of the ministerial class. Their lives are good, but they are not that well-off. The head of the family is definitely okay, but the family members below are a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, the trial is out!" Black Dog strode into Murong Nobunaga's study, showed Murong Nobunaga a stack of interrogation records, and said excitedly:
"This monk Pingtong is actually not called Qin Pingtong. He should be called Weizong Pingtong, and he is a junior military attaché of Fengqian Kingdom.
Their family still had some connections on Iki Island, and they were under the orders of the Dazaifu of Japan's Saikaidō, and were mainly responsible for combating pirates.
However, as soon as we arrived in Korea, we suffered a lot from them. The remnants of the Goryeo Navy, which had been defeated by Commander Chen Huochen overseas in Sizhou a few months ago, retreated south to Tsushima Island.
They were already in contact with the Japanese in Hizen Country, and knew what was true and false there. Now that they were homeless, they simply contacted the Japanese bandits and began to plunder the Japanese coast of Kitakyushu on a large scale.
Together with the head of the family, Wei Zongheitong went to sea to exterminate the Goryeo pirates under the orders of the Dazaifu, and won a small victory. However, because the main force of the Kitakyushu navy was destroyed, he did not receive the reward and could not explain it to the subordinates below. He felt resentful.
.
He came across the sea and was not a Buddhist representative at all, but a group of low-level warriors from Kitakyushu gathered together.
They think that the bandits can collude with Koryo Island to rob a lot of money, so why can't they just come and lure us there and simply occupy Saikaidō Kyushu."
How outrageous was Japan's coastal defense at this time?
Twenty years later, the Toi pirates attacked in large numbers. They sent a total of fifty ships and I don't know if there were a thousand people. They beat the Japanese naval forces of Nagasaki, Hizen, Bunzen and other countries into wolves and robbed them.
They looted and killed tens of thousands of Japanese people.
In the end, it was the Korean navy that defeated these Daoyi pirates.
(Daoyi: Koreans call Liaodong Binhai, which is probably the Jurchens in the Vladivostok area on the east coast of North Korea.)
"God help me!" Murong Nobunaga laughed loudly after hearing this, "Go and tell that Japanese, I don't care whether his name is Qin Pingtong or Weisong Pingtong, but it is not enough for the Hizen and Bunzen samurai of Saikaidō to welcome me.
Ask him to contact Nagato, Iwami, Izumo and other national samurai in Sanyo. If he wants to do something, let’s do a big one!”
