Five hundred and twentieth chapters Eastern Expedition to Japan V
"Long live the king."
"Long live the king"
…
When the samurai saw that Fujiwara Tadamichi had killed the Emperor and the Emperor, they all fell to their knees to welcome the arrival of a new era.
However, Fujiwara Tadamichi turned pale with fright in the cheers of the crowd and shouted: "A thousand years old, a thousand years old, only the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty can live long."
However, his voice was drowned in the shouts that continued to spread out.
Fujiwara Tadamichi, who had been arrogant just now, heard the shout of long live spread throughout Heian Kyo, and did not dare to delay. He ran outside, got on his horse, and rode out of the city.
Chao Yong has already led troops and horses to approach Ping'an Jing. He also heard the shouts in the city. He could not understand Japanese, but there were not just two Japs in Japan, there was one behind him.
Fujiwara Tadamichi was still a few feet away from Chao Yong, so he turned over and dismounted, bowed and said: "Both Emperor Shirakawa and Emperor Sutoku are dead, please invite the prince to enter the city."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I heard the shouting in the city."
Fujiwara Tadamichi's expression changed and he hurriedly said: "They made their own decisions, and Xiao Wang dare not say long live them."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I know, okay, let's go to the city."
Fujiwara Tadamichi saw that Chao Yong seemed really uneasy, so he stepped aside and waited for the prince to pass before he followed behind.
Chao Yong led his people on Ping'an Jing Zhuque Avenue. Although it was only a small town with a population of hundreds of thousands, and it was only a very small city in Chao Yong's military career, Chao Yong felt that this was the most meaningful city he had conquered.
A city.
When he arrived at the palace, Chao Yong sat in the seat where the emperor had been, and Fujiwara Tadamichi could only accompany him.
"I will stay here for a month. The vassal army will help you eliminate the resisting forces everywhere and make the entire Japan surrender under your feet."
Fujiwara Tadamichi fell to his knees in excitement and wanted to grab Chao Yong's feet and kiss them twice.
"The prince's great kindness will be unforgettable by Fujiwara Tadamichi. Japan will always be loyal to Daliang."
Chao Yong suddenly said: "Japan is not a good name. Japan is not the land of the rising sun. There are other countries to the east. The name of Japan is good. From now on, it will be called Japan. You will be the first king of Japan."
Japan was called the Kingdom of Japan before the Tang Dynasty. However, the Japanese envoys later learned some Chinese and did not like the Japanese characters, so they came up with the name Land of the Rising Sun. During the period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty to Wu Zetian, the Central Plains was renamed the Kingdom of Japan.
Fujiwara Tadamichi also knew that the word "Japanese" seemed to have a derogatory connotation, but he did not dare to object. He thanked him and said, "Thank you, Prince, for the name."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "You can use my vassal army to wipe out the forces in various places. Your orders can be conveyed to all places, which is more authoritative than the emperor's orders. Do you know how to do it?"
Fujiwara Tadamichi also knew that Chao Yong wanted him to use the power of Japan to mine, but he also wanted to be a real king like the emperor of Daliang and eliminate vassal states everywhere. By then, his rule would be more stable than that of the emperor.
"I know, I will follow the example of Daliang and control local power."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Okay, then just go ahead and do it, my vassal army will fully cooperate with you. After a month, I hope no one in Japan will resist you again. In addition, you must prepare the first year's offerings, one hundred thousand taels."
gold, one million taels of white
Silver, one million catties of copper. One tael of gold can be converted into ten taels of silver and ten catties of copper. If there is not enough, you can use other conversions. If the three are not enough, then use people to make up. You don’t want women, you want strong adult men.
.A person is worth one tael of gold.”
The slaves captured by Daliang from the Yue Dynasty and Korea had no chance to give birth. In other words, the mine slaves in Daliang are non-renewable resources. The more they are used, the less they will be. To replenish the slaves, they must continue to be obtained from overseas. Of course, the first choice is
It must be a small country in Southeast Asia, but Chao Yong also has to put some pressure on Fujiwara Tadamichi to prevent him from not working hard.
When Japan's gold, silver and copper mines are insufficient, that is when Daliang will wipe out Japan.
A man in his prime is worth ten guan, which is undoubtedly a very low price, but a short Japanese is really not a good thing.
Fujiwara Tadamichi did not dare to bargain, so he could only nod and said: "Xiao Wang must collect enough gold and silver for the prince as soon as possible."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Okay, I will send someone to help you prospect as soon as possible. The gold, silver and copper mines in Japan are definitely much more than you think. Then you only need to send people to mine. After consecrating my beam, Japan will
You will also be richer than before."
Fujiwara Tadamichi kowtowed and said: "On behalf of everyone in the Japanese country, I kowtow to thank the prince for his generous gift."
You don't need to thank me. I don't care if you scold me. What I want is gold and silver. Once the gold and silver are gone, you won't have the chance to scold me even if you want to.
Chao Yong waved his hand and said: "You should be familiar with this palace and help me find a place to live."
"Yes, Prince, wait a moment."
Fujiwara Tadamichi immediately crawled out, led his samurai to search the palace carefully, then cleared out the place where the emperor once lived, carefully selected a few maids, and then came to invite Chao Yong.
The Japanese are short, and the houses they live in are not high, and there are no beds. Is it because they are afraid that they will not be able to climb up?
Chao Yong walked through the palace, cursing in his heart.
After arriving at the chosen residence, Fujiwara Tadamichi ran forward and personally opened the door for Chao Yong.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw several maids kneeling at the door to salute. The rest of them had their heads lowered, except for the first one who raised her head slightly to reveal her beautiful face.
Chao Yong found that this woman looked a bit like Mr. Cang, who liked to go to China to make money in later generations, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Fujiwara Tadamichi saw Chao Yong staring at Fujiwara Shoko and hurriedly said: "She is Fujiwara Shoko."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Is that the queen of Emperor Toba?"
"kindness"
When Chao Yong heard that it was a strange woman who was serving both his grandfather and grandson, he shook his head and said, "These women are all given to you. I don't need women in my residence."
Although the Japanese were lustful enough, Chao Yong had no intention of bringing glory to the country in bed. If someone died, wouldn't he become a bastard?
Chao Yong would never allow such a despicable bloodline to appear in the Daliang royal family.
When Fujiwara Tadamichi heard that Chao Yong didn't want a woman, he hurriedly waved the women to go down. He had been coveting Fujiwara Shoko for a long time, but he also knew that Prince Daliang was the most noble person, and he couldn't hide the "good things". No.
Thinking that in Chao Yong's eyes, these good things of his are just shabby shoes.
That night, Chao Yong was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard the guards shouting loudly outside, and there seemed to be the sound of burning wood. He quickly put on his clothes and rushed out.
I saw that the houses not far away had been set on fire. The buildings in the Japanese palace were mainly made of wood. The crowd spread quickly and was difficult to extinguish.
Chao Yong saw Lu Fang approaching with two Japanese people, and asked: "What's going on? Didn't all the Japanese people be cleared out?"
Lu Fang said: "They hid in the secret room and waited until late at night before they came out and set fire to it."
"No casualties?"
"No."
"That's good, let's just watch a bonfire."
Fujiwara Tadamichi was sleeping soundly with Fujiwara Shoko in his arms. When he heard the retainer outside saying that the palace was on fire, he was so frightened that he pushed away the woman in his arms, grabbed his clothes and ran out.
Fujiwara Shoko was pushed awake, opened her eyes lazily, looked at it, and then went back to sleep.
Kill Fujiwara Tadamichi to avenge the imperial family?
That was just to deceive that old devil, Emperor Shirakawa. She is living well now, so why should she seek death? Dynasty hegemony is a matter for men.
Fujiwara Tadamichi rolled and crawled to the palace. When he saw Chao Yong and others watching the fire in the open space, he breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on the ground and said: "Little Wang's rescue came late, please forgive me, Prince."
He never dared to think that the crown prince of Daliang was burned to death. If that happened, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Japanese country. Just these soldiers and horses on the island could defeat the Japanese country without the power to resist. If the crown prince of Daliang died in the Japanese country, there would be no doubt that the Japanese country would be destroyed.
The emperor will send more soldiers and horses to avenge his son, and then the country will really be destroyed.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I didn't expect that there were two Japanese hiding in the secret room of the palace, and they wanted to set fire to me. Are they people of Emperor Baihe or yours?"
When Fujiwara Tadamichi caught Chao Yong's playful look, sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, and he kowtowed: "You are not mine. The prince has done me a great favor. How can I dare to repay the kindness with enmity?"
"Just kidding, get up. I know you are from Emperor Shirakawa, but you are guilty of not doing things well?"
Seeing that Chao Yong no longer doubted that he was his, Fujiwara Tadamichi quickly kowtowed and said, "I am willing to accept the crime."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Well, seeing as your attitude towards confessing is acceptable, I won't punish you. This year's offering will be increased by one hundred thousand taels of gold." (To be continued...)
