#319 - Above the gods
But what Himiko didn't know was that her despair had only just begun...
Over the next three days and three nights, Himiko personally witnessed rain falling nearby several times, but each time it perfectly avoided her location, as if the heavens were sending down divine punishment to make her suffer from the scorching sun without a single drop of rain to moisten her.
A large number of Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals, kneeling fifty paces away from Himiko, acted as witnesses, their eyes shifting from initial bewilderment and doubt to utter terror.
People will always believe what they see, and it is even more impossible for them to step outside their own thinking and vision to consider things.
Himiko rose to power through her beauty and was also able to use the rhetoric of ghosts and gods to rule the Yamatai Kingdom as a woman, which is enough to show the degree of reverence for ghosts and gods from top to bottom in the Yamatai Kingdom.
And Himiko, the ruler of the Yamatai Kingdom, who was regarded by countless Yamatai people as a bridge between gods and humans, was now being exposed to the scorching sun, and the rain had perfectly avoided her several times in three days.
This undoubtedly led the Yamatai people to gradually draw the only conclusion, which was that the gods were afraid of that man...
The Han envoy Li Ji's words made the gods afraid to drop a single drop of rain on Himiko's body.
The Han envoy Li Ji...above the gods!
A theory that spread from nowhere, coupled with the fact that Himiko, who had been revered by countless Yamatai people in the past, was now tied to a stake and subjected to the scorching sun in front of them, swept through the minds of every Yamatai person and Wa person like a plague.
As the three-day period was about to expire, Li Ji, surrounded by a group of personal guards, walked past those Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals.
None of the Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals dared to look directly at Li Ji anymore, their respectful attitude was as if they were prostrating at the feet of a god, and thoughts kept flashing in their minds.
'The Han envoy Li Ji is the embodiment of the sun, supremely revered, and all the gods are in awe...'
Li Ji didn't even look at them, but walked directly to Himiko, who was tied to the stake, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at the woman who had been exposed to the scorching sun for three days and three nights, her skin cracked, her face withered, and no longer had a trace of娇艳妩媚.
Feeling someone approaching, Himiko, clinging to that glimmer of hope and hanging on her last breath, turned her eyeballs somewhat sluggishly, her blurred vision could no longer see the face of the person coming, and asked in a hoarse and low voice.
"Has, has it rained yet?"
"With the order of my Great Han here, who among the gods of Yingzhou dares to rain for you?"
Li Ji said calmly, and the words reached Himiko's ears, making her feel sad and lonely, knowing that the three-day period had arrived.
Do ghosts and gods exist in this world?
Himiko, who used the name of ghosts and gods to control the Yamatai Kingdom, knew it all too well.
At this point, Himiko didn't understand that from the beginning when she agreed to this gamble, she had already fallen into the trap of the man in front of her, and she was just a corpse step that this man was preparing to step on in order to control the entire Yingzhou.
If the defeat of the Yamatai Kingdom's army was to conquer Yingzhou physically...
Then the prestige accumulated by her controlling the Yamatai Kingdom in the name of ghosts and gods would help him control Yingzhou ideologically.
It's just that Himiko still couldn't understand how Li Ji did this unpredictable scene, so that the area where she was tied up could perfectly avoid the several rains that fell for three consecutive days.
This made Himiko unable to resist wanting to laugh out loud, but her extremely hoarse throat couldn't make any sound, and then her head drooped and she completely lost her breath.
Li Ji didn't say anything more, flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Just the lord of a small country, if it weren't for the fact that Li Ji's appearance at this moment would be more conducive to controlling people's hearts, Li Ji wouldn't even bother to listen to the words of this defeated dog, Himiko.
From the beginning, for Li Ji, this was not a gamble, but a public execution.
On the surface, it was Himiko who was being executed, but in reality, it was the original belief of the entire Yamatai Kingdom that was being killed, so that the name of Great Han could be above the so-called ghosts and gods.
Not only the Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals who witnessed the whole process fifty paces away, but also the countless Yamatai Kingdom soldiers and Wa soldiers who were captured would also be witnesses to this scene.
Conquering Yingzhou physically, controlling Yingzhou ideologically...
This was Li Ji's goal, and not just a group of killing machines blindly carrying out massacres.
After Li Ji returned to the chariot, Jia Xu, who had just come from Kyushu Island, was already sitting in it and was happily tasting tea.
"Wenhe is leisurely."
Li Ji said, also sat down in the chariot, and then took the clear tea pushed over by Jia Xu and took a sip.
"Commanding in battle is not Xu's strength, it is enough to sit in the rear for Zikun."
Jia Xu emphasized his contribution.
Li Ji didn't mean to refute, and he could safely lead the army to conquer the Yamatai Kingdom without worrying about any changes in the Wa Kingdom, Jia Xu really had considerable merit.
"Where's Himiko Huhu?" Li Ji asked.
"Already settled in the camp." Jia Xu replied.
"Then what are we waiting for? Three days of brewing is enough to initially publicize the defeat of the Yamatai Kingdom. Immediately, in the name of the Wa Kingdom, issue the order of the Great Han, take over all the territory of the Yamatai Kingdom, unify Yingzhou, and close the country."
Li Ji drank the clear tea in his cup in one gulp, and then directly turned the cup upside down on the table of the chariot, as if the cup covered the land under his feet.
"Two months!"
Jia Xu said with a smile, and a few excitement also appeared in his eyes.
Although it was only a small country, this kind of national extermination undoubtedly aroused Jia Xu's interest, and he made a promise to Li Ji that the above-mentioned goals would be achieved within two months.
And the development of the situation was as Li Ji expected.
The Yamatai Kingdom's 120,000 troops were destroyed by the Han army in an instant, and the Han envoy Li Ji's words caused Himiko to be abandoned by ghosts and gods...
In this Yingzhou, which was superstitious about ghosts and gods, all of this was like a myth spread to the ears of every Yingzhou person, and countless Yingzhou people witnessed those scenes.
For a time, under word of mouth, in just two months, Li Ji and a group of Han generals had almost been deified by the Yingzhou people.
Wherever the Han people passed, no Yingzhou people dared to disobey in the slightest, and some even knelt on the ground to pray for blessings.
In this way, in fact, Jia Xu only spent less than a month to unify Yingzhou in the name of the "Wa Kingdom", and the remaining time was all in the name of Himiko Huhuhu to implement the closed-door policy.
On the surface, the lord of the Wa Kingdom was Himiko Huhuhu, but in fact, the affairs of Yingzhou, both large and small, were controlled by Li Ji and Jia Xu, and countless nobles and generals in the Wa Kingdom regarded Li Ji and a group of Han people as gods, and dared not have the slightest disrespect or rudeness.
Under this circumstance, within less than a month, Li Ji showed extremely amazing political skills, mobilizing a large number of young and middle-aged laborers, and at the same time developing more than 20 gold and silver mines within the scope of Yingzhou.
However, as the entire Yingzhou began to proceed according to the previous assumptions, Jia Xu still felt a trace of hidden danger from it.
After all, Yingzhou is isolated overseas. Now that the Great Han is still stable, Wujun can invest a lot of troops in Yingzhou to maintain stability.
But as the Great Han began to enter a chaotic world, Wujun obviously could not station a large number of troops in Yingzhou at all times.
And once a big problem occurred in Yingzhou, given the distance between Wujun and Yingzhou, it would be difficult to send troops to support in time.
And now, the entire Yingzhou, from top to bottom, regards Li Ji as a god and is respectful to the Han people, but Jia Xu, who frequently contacts the Wa people, has noticed the fickleness in the bones of the Wa people.
In addition, the current lord of the Wa Kingdom is young and easy to control, and when Himiko Huhuhu grows up, coupled with the fact that driving the Wa people to mine for many years is also easy to accumulate resentment.
Using coercion can last for three to five years to prevent the Wa people from having any different intentions, but it is difficult to last for five or ten years, and the next generation of Wa people may still launch a large number of rebellions.
Jia Xu didn't know if Li Ji had noticed this, but he still instinctively thought about a once-and-for-all method.
And after several days of thinking, Jia Xu really thought of a wonderful way, naming it the "Wa People Clearance Strategy", and this plan was not complicated.
Since the next generation of Wa people is easy to rebel, then just make sure that the Wa people have no next generation.
With Li Ji's prestige and influence today, he can completely change the thinking, change the system, or directly change the daily contact items and diet of the Wa people within the Wa Kingdom, and then make it difficult for the Wa people to have offspring.
For example: Are there any herbs that can cause sterility that are easy to grow in Yingzhou? You can promote them as evil-repelling herbs and let the Wa people consciously drink them in water every day or eat them as delicious delicacies.
In addition, considering that the contemporary Wa people are used for mining, it can generally consume 20 to 30 years. For the current Wujun, a huge amount of gold and silver input for 20 to 30 years is enough.
At that time, if there are still a large number of gold and silver deposits in Yingzhou, then Fuyu, Goguryeo, Silla and other countries adjacent to Yingzhou will also have a large number of laborers available, which can perfectly connect to the lack of labor in Yingzhou.
Jia Xu was quite satisfied with this plan, writing a full few volumes of bamboo slips, and then holding the "Wa People Clearance Strategy" to see Li Ji.
When Li Ji finished reading the strategy written by Jia Xu, the look in his eyes when he looked at Jia Xu unconsciously became a little strange.
In the past, Li Ji knew that Jia Xu's use of tricks had no bottom line, and he was even unknowingly without a bottom line, but he didn't expect that Jia Xu could be so ruthless, directly causing Yingzhou's severe aging to appear thousands of years in advance?
This is undoubtedly a method of directly eliminating the Wa people physically and physically at low cost.
When the Eagle Sauce entered North America in those years, wouldn't they also have invited Jia Xu to be reincarnated as a staff member?
Furthermore, after reading it, Li Ji actually felt a slight stirring in his heart...
Jia Xu asked.
“Zikun, what do you think of this plan?”
