New Shun 1730

The waves hit the battleship, and the deck swayed rhythmically, making Ooka Tadashi want to vomit.

He was not seasick, at least not until Liu Yu told him that there was no chance of finding the Dutch.

At this time, Liu Yu put on a posture of seeing off guests. Tadashi Ooka concentrated his attention, analyzed Liu Yu's words, and implored helplessly: "General Liu, why don't you wait here for a few days? Your letter, the general, has been seen by your great country. We can still talk about the conditions.”

Lin Xinchong, who had the upper hand at the beginning, had nothing to say at this time. He felt that Liu Yu had no education at all. This was like playing the piano to a cow, and it was completely useless to talk about these righteousnesses.

Now Liu Yu's ugly face is revealed, and he has an attitude of just looking for trouble to start a war. It is meaningless to talk about righteousness.

In the negotiation and contact itself, Tadashi Ooka was the one who spoke. Lin Nobumitsu was just because of his status as the head of the Seigang University, so he was more suitable to be the envoy during the negotiation and contact with the Celestial Empire.

Now that Prime Minister Ooka has given up, Lin Xinchang still has thousands of words, allusions and allusions in his heart, so what's the use?

Liu Yu wanted to run away, thinking what if Tokugawa Yoshimune really threw his almost thirty-year-old son who still wet his pants on the ship and directly agreed to pay tribute? Isn't there going to be a huge quarrel between the DPRK and China? There weren't many people who supported the war, so if something like this happened again, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

"I feel that there is nothing left to talk about between us. Not only does this Lin Daru not admit his mistake, but he makes excuses. If we continue to talk, it will be okay for me to be humiliated, but I only feel that the emperor is humiliated. The so-called humiliation and the death of my subordinates will In anger, he threw several of them into the sea and ate wonton noodles, which violated the rule of not killing the envoys in battle. "

"If there is a chance, we will meet again in the capital! It's not that far away. If you have the ability to fight to the capital, I will admit defeat; if you don't, I will wait for you in the capital. Anyway, see you in the capital."

After saying that, he turned his back and walked straight to the cabin.

Tadashi Ooka sighed deeply and had no choice but to be "escorted" by a group of people onto the boat.

Liu Yu, who had originally walked to the cabin door, saw these people leaving and immediately turned around and returned to the deck.

"Sir, do you really want to leave? Why don't you wait for them to discuss your terms? I can see on their faces that they are desperate. As the ancients said, a man who is victorious in a hundred battles is not a good man; a man who subdues the enemy without fighting is a good man. Yes. If you can defeat the enemy without fighting, it will be a great achievement."

After the officer beside him made a suggestion, he added with some embarrassment: "Besides, I think if we start a war with the Japanese, our navy will just serve as a transport team for the army, and the Japanese don't have many warships. For this great achievement, why not just Let our navy take it ourselves?”

Liu Yu thought: Get a hammer? How could Japan agree to the conditions I really wanted? What if he really followed Gou Jian's example and didn't taste excrement himself, but sent his son to the capital as a hostage to taste excrement? The emperor's head felt hot and he felt that he had made an immortal contribution, and the ministers tried to persuade him, but what if he really stopped fighting?

He is not an emperor, and what he wants is not a tribute system, but Japan's gold and silver for primitive accumulation.

It's just that it's hard to say what's deep in my heart.

The emperor had beaten him and told him not to do things like killing first and then reporting later. He had to pretend to be a good boy. This mouth would have to be guarded in the future.

There must be the Emperor's eyes and ears on board. He can make as much trouble as he wants in Japan, and that's fine, but he can't say this kind of thing.

Liu Yu chuckled and gave a very reasonable explanation from a strange angle.

"I can't wait. Since ancient times, it has been etiquette that the emperor will get married one year after the emperor's appointment. The prince will be a prince for half a year, and the minister will be a minister for one season. Since I have been granted a title, I can also be regarded as a prince. No matter how small Yingsuo is, it is still a place name. In these half a year The deadline is coming, why not be in a hurry? Get out of here and return home quickly."

"Besides, it is summer, typhoon season. If it were another time, I would have waited. At this time, I am really afraid of the defeat of Meng Yuan Shenfeng. Raise the sails quickly and run away."

It was half a joke, and half to make the emperor think that Liu Yu might really care about his marriage and family, and finally there was a "rein" that could tie up his fierce horse.

"I thought you were going to sail the ship outside Edo Castle and fire a few cannons before leaving." Several officers and students muttered, feeling that they still had more to say.

Before Liu Yu could speak, Chen Qinghai cursed: "I've told you so many times, don't enter the bay or go near the tidal flats. The only possibility for the Japanese navy to win is to attack with arson boats in a narrow place. This course is for you. Have you forgotten all?"

After some scolding, these officers were all disgraced and had to disperse, either to measure the ship's speed or to draw a nautical chart.

After everyone had withdrawn, Chen Qinghai came to Liu Yu's side. Seeing no one around, he asked quietly: "Sir, if there is a war with Japan this time, I have an idea. I don't know what you think."

Liu Yu nodded and indicated that Chen Qinghai could continue. Chen Qinghai calmed down and knew that what he wanted to say might be a big deal. He reminded: "Sir, if you want to say something, you may have to ask your Majesty to mention it in the court." Mention it.”

This was a mental preparation for Liu Yu. Liu Yu smiled and said: "Just say it. I am not afraid of trouble. If it makes sense, I will mention it."

"Yes. That's it. When I attacked Tosa with you, I really got to see the national conditions of the Japanese country. Like the feudal society of the Western Zhou Dynasty, many farmers were illiterate and had never even met their own lords. They only knew how to grow grain and pay tribute. That's it. So, why not feudalize it? Once the land is obtained, drive away the warriors and let the court replace them with meritorious people. If there are meritorious people, feudalize the Japanese country and follow the samurai system. In this way, within a hundred years, the Japanese will all speak Chinese, just like the Xia Junyi in the Spring and Autumn Period. civil."

After quietly observing Liu Yu's expression, Chen Qinghai could not see anything, and then said: "I have also read Liu Zongyuan's "On Feudalism", [Or it is said: The feudal lords must privately control their land, respect their people, adapt to their customs, improve their principles, and implement changes. The governors are just trying to change their ranks, how can they manage it?], I agree with Liu Zongyuan on this point. Some people say that under the feudal system, the feudal lords must cherish their fiefdoms, and the local officials under the county system are promoted for political achievements... He thinks it is wrong to think so."

"But I think the reason why he thinks it is wrong can be broken down. If it is like the Tang Dynasty's vassal states and the Ming Dynasty's fiefdoms, if they are well operated, there may not be chaos. Moreover, if meritorious people are given fiefs, or hundreds or thousands of households, as long as they are not given more than ten thousand stones, there is no need to worry about disasters."

"In this way, for the public good of the world, it can be like the Spring and Autumn Period, when the Xia emperor and the barbarians were divided into fiefdoms for a hundred years, the Japanese will definitely enter the Xia Dynasty and become the same as the people of the Celestial Empire. They will speak Chinese and write Chinese characters."

"For the soldiers, they fight to the death, naturally hoping to enfeoff their wives and children, and leave their property to their descendants. If they can get the real title, the soldiers will fight to the death."

"In reality, the Japanese feudal system is stable, they just changed the master, and the farmers pay taxes as usual. How could they resist?"

"Feudalizing Nanyang is not possible. First, the disease is rampant, second, the local system is not suitable for feudalism, third, the language is completely incomprehensible, and fourth, Confucianism is not popular and most people believe in Islam. However, I think it is a good idea to feudalize Japan. There are many benefits. At least the literate people in the countryside can write Chinese."

Liu Yu glanced at Chen Qinghai with a smile, and said with a smile: "You Meaning? Or the idea of ​​some people in the army? "

Chen Qinghai laughed and said: "Sir, I'll tell you the truth. I am one of the first captains. I have a future when the navy flourishes in the future. So in fact, although my idea supports feudal Japan, my purpose is really to transform the people of Xiajun."

"But... the ideas in the army are different. It may not be for the public good of the world, but for personal selfishness, but it does not affect the future results. They are all soldiers. Do you think that soldiers want to be samurai? Do those who have made meritorious deeds really want to leave some property for their descendants?"

"Although the Celestial Empire has a lot of land, it is now expanding the Whale Sea. But I have also talked to Du Feng. Although the Songhua River has a lot of land, the population is insufficient. If a piece of land is allocated to those who have made meritorious deeds, those who have made meritorious deeds want to be nobles, and there are no people who pay taxes, No matter how big the land is, do you have to cultivate it yourself? "

"The feudal system in Japan is ready-made, and the peasants may never see their real lords and warriors in their entire lives. It will not have any impact if they are directly replaced."

"Nowadays, if the court gives land to people who have made meritorious contributions every year, there will not be so many official fields in the court. I am from a good family, and the non-legitimate sons of good families can only find other ways out. If Japan is feudal, meritorious service can be rewarded with fiefdoms, and many concubines and young sons can also join the army to seek meritorious service... Moreover, wouldn't it also save the court a sum of money for rewarding military merits every year? "

"For every tael of tax, the lower class will have to bear 3 taels or 5 taels. Why not calculate the money originally to be rewarded into shigao and directly enfeoff Japan? "

"It's better to enfeoff small rather than large. For the merits of the twelve revolutions, the upper merits will be awarded with a virtual title and enter the court as a noble, and the lower merits will be enfeoffed in Japan. "

"A hundred years later, the Japanese all use Chinese characters. Isn't this the great cause of Zhou Gong's feudalization and settling the Central Plains for two thousand years? ”

“The Japanese have 400,000 warriors, which is equivalent to 400,000 military merits in our dynasty. With 400,000 military merits, why worry about instability in Nanyang? Why worry about injustice in India?”

“Although the Whale Sea is vast, there are no people to rely on. Even if you enfeoff a thousand acres of wasteland in the Whale Sea, it is not as good as enfeoffing 100 shi in Japan, which makes people more courageous to make meritorious deeds.”

The more Chen Qinghai spoke, the more excited he became. He was born in a good family, and they were all considered the lowest level of nobles - the difference from military households was that they had a different way of promotion from the imperial examination. In Japan, it was similar to a samurai who made a living by carrying heavy loads with an annual salary of 5 shi, and he was still a noble.

The butt determines the head. Even though Chen Qinghai was already a naval officer, when he considered political issues, Liu Yu heard that he still thought in the direction of thinking of the little nobles.

For the public, he really considered the old wisdom of Zhou Gong's feudalization to determine the basic plate of the Central Plains.

But in terms of benefits, this is the benefit of tens of thousands of good family sons, illegitimate sons, and hundreds of low-level officers every year.

Just like what Chen Qinghai said, the land in Jinghai is vast. Even if rye, soybeans, sorghum, and potatoes can be planted now, giving away that kind of wasteland is equivalent to fooling monkeys who change their minds every day.

For this idea, Liu Yu did not consider the impact on the future at the first time, but immediately became alert. The army has its own ideas?

However, this alertness was not put into practice, but he asked with a smile: "It seems that many grassroots officers in the army think so? Why, after reading "On Feudalism", you read Wen Zhenggong's "On Factions"?"
