Chapter 515: Comparing each other?

Judging from the current situation, Guangge Jianren and Kuan Gong Huiren, the father and son, only need to pay a "slight" price to mess up all their efforts, and no matter how hard they try, they can't.

After completely guarding against the father and son Guangge Jianren, Chen Yan not only did not comfort himself from his own point of view, but instead repeatedly said that he was stupid?

Tokugawa Ieki suddenly felt as aggrieved as a child who had been scolded by an adult for no apparent reason.

Tokugawa Jiaqi, who felt deeply aggrieved, couldn't help but get into trouble and started to argue directly with Chen Yan: "Mr. Ambassador, although the Japanese country is not big, it is not small. Even though Jiaqi controls the shogunate, it is not small.

There is no way to completely lock down the entire Japanese country, let alone completely prevent the two father and son Guangge Jianren from causing mischief?"

Chen Yan glanced at Tokugawa Jiaqi slightly, and sneered: "You mean you're not stupid enough?"

Tokugawa Keqiu wanted to say that he was not stupid, but he did not have the courage to contradict the statement. At the moment, he could only say aggrievedly: "Mr. Ambassador, please give me some advice?"

Chen Yan then said expressionlessly: "Is your biggest problem now to prevent Guangge Jianren and his son from sending people to cause trouble for you? Then you have to think about it carefully, what is the prerequisite for them to send people to cause trouble for you?"

"If they want to send people to cause trouble for you, they must send them there first, and then they must be able to blend into the crowd on your side."

"To deal with this situation, the easiest way is to organize a peasant association like the Ming Dynasty, and work together with the Japanese people on your side. As soon as you see a strange face, quickly arrest it. Guangge Jianren and his son sent here

It is naturally difficult for people to achieve anything."

"And all you have to pay is just some reward money, do you understand?"

Tokugawa Jiaqi was immediately overjoyed and even wanted to kowtow to Chen Yan, and then shouted three times that daddy still loves me!

Just after a second thought, Tokugawa Ieki hesitated.

Following the example of the Ming Dynasty in organizing a peasant association, this seems easy to Chen Yan, but if it is really implemented in the Japanese country, it will be extremely difficult, because the problems between the two are fundamentally different!

What was the situation when the Ming Dynasty organized the Peasants' Association? It was because the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty launched an army to rebel. When he conquered a place, he would publicly try the evil businessmen and evil gentry in that place, thereby winning over a certain amount of people's support. Later, he would use land equalization and other operations to bring the local people to justice.

The people spontaneously supported the farmers' association.

But what about the Japanese country? There are two groups of the biggest evil businessmen and evil gentry in the Japanese country. One group is the Japanese royal family headed by Guangge Jiren and his son, and the other group is the Edo shogunate!

Under the Japanese royal family and the Edo shogunate, there were a lot of daimyo attached to them, and under them there were a lot of samurai, and then there were ronin, and then there were civilians, and under the civilians there were a lot more

of untouchables.

In order to establish a peasant association in Japan, which side should the Tokugawa family fight for?

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty could of course win the support of ordinary people, because at that time all the people in the Central Plains were the targets of oppression by the men of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and the ordinary people of the Japanese country had rogues and samurai above them, and below them there were untouchables.

Which side to fight for is a question!

Winning the support of samurai and ronin? Samurai look down on ronin, and ronin dislike samurai.

Winning the support of ordinary civilians? Civilians can also bully untouchables.

Winning the support of the untouchables? The untouchables of the Japanese country have long been numb. They are basically the same as walking corpses. They have no idea of ​​​​revolting at all. Unlike Zhongyuan Tangkou, which has a history of more than a hundred years of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

.

In fact, the untouchables in the Japanese country are actually the same as the Dalits in Tianzhu. They are all "untouchables". They are mostly prisoners of war, criminals, prostitutes and some Ainu people from the north. Their household registration in the Japanese country is

The official names among them are "filth" and "inhuman", and the discrimination has reached the level of fairness.

Among them, the "dirty people" are mainly engaged in carrying corpses on the battlefield, slaughtering livestock, funeral practitioners, and leather workers. These people are usually considered to be associated with blood, filth, and death. The "non-humans" are mostly prostitutes, criminals, and mountaineers.

civil.

Moreover, the Japanese social classes and occupations at this time were very distinct.

For example, after the end of the Warring States Period in Japan, many samurai were unwilling to go out to work or learn a craft even if they had no wars to fight and no food to eat, because their status as samurai determined that they could not engage in specific productive labor.

As for the untouchables, their careers are mostly passed down from father to son, and marriages are also settled within the untouchable circle. They live on the edge of mountains and forests or in desolate places isolated by rivers to avoid arousing the disgust of other noble people.

Very similar to the "untouchables" in the Indian caste system, this group of "untouchables" in the Japanese country are not only prohibited from marrying good people and unable to participate in normal social activities. They are not allowed to hold umbrellas on rainy days and have to use umbrellas when speaking.

Covering their mouths and noses to avoid spewing out foul odors and "impacting the environment", even when they are cleaning as servants, they can only do it backwards - in order to sweep away their own footprints, because in the eyes of the dwarfs of the Japanese country, they stepped on "

The paths traveled by "untouchables" are contaminated with filth and may even bring bad luck.

If an untouchable goes to work in the house of his beloved, he usually has to bring his own rice bowl. Once he touches his beloved's bowls and chopsticks, the owner will definitely smash the "filthy" containers used by the untouchables and bury them deeply.

Moreover, in the laws of the Japanese country, "untouchables" are only recognized as one-seventh of a person. Only seven untouchable lives are worth one good man. Especially those warriors who treat "untouchables" who they dislike

", I often cut whenever I want. This is also a method used by Japanese warriors to test their swords. How many people can be cut is how many body parts are cut, so as to judge the quality of the samurai sword.

In other words, if Tokugawa Ieki wants to win over those common people, he will be hostile to the samurai and ronin classes. If Tokugawa Ieki wants to win over those "untouchables", I am afraid that even the common people of Japan will be hostile to him.

In fact, even the Tokugawa family did not regard the "untouchables" of the Japanese country as human beings. Naturally, it was impossible to regard them as objects to win over, let alone the main force in establishing peasant associations.

After secretly thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out which party to win over. Tokugawa Jiaqi simply told Chen Yan the current situation of the Japanese country, and then asked tentatively: "I would also like to ask, Mr. Ambassador, who Jiaqi should rely on to establish the agricultural industry."

meeting?"

Chen Yan glanced at Tokugawa Jiaqi slightly and asked: "Do you want to win over those civilians? Or do you want to win over those samurai? Or are you a ronin?"

Looking at the slightly sarcastic look on Chen Yan's face, Tokugawa Ieki couldn't help but ask: "Shouldn't it be a civilian or a samurai?"

Chen Yan shook his head slightly and said with a sneer: "A samurai with a master is called a samurai. A samurai without a master can only be a ronin. A samurai pays attention to loyalty to his master. The number of ronin is far less than that of samurai. Who can you rely on? As for those civilians

...As long as the untouchables of Japan still exist, they will not have the courage to resist the samurai and ronin!"

When Chen Yan said this, Tokugawa Ieqi was immediately confused.

Tokugawa Jiaqi knew very well that what Chen Yan said were facts, but precisely because they were facts, Tokugawa Jiaqi couldn't figure out which class of people to win over.

Seeing that Tokugawa Jiaqi was still acting like a fool, Chen Yan simply sneered and said: "I remember that during the Qing Dynasty, He Shen and Zhongtang often said a famous saying, which is to save the people first, save the officials first, even the officials cannot be saved.

, who else do you expect to help you save the people?"

Tokugawa Jiaqi suddenly became even more confused, because what Chen Yan said seemed reasonable, but upon closer inspection, it made people feel that something was wrong - why did the Ming Dynasty not win over those evil businessmen and evil gentry, but beat them up?

Lost?

Chen Yan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, feeling the aroma of the tea carefully, and then patiently gave instructions to Tokugawa Ieki: "Actually, your best choice is to win over those ronin and good people, because ronin hopes to find the master, and

Good people are the largest group in Japan, and they also hope to change their own class and go one step further."

"However, it is too late, because you have never won over them before, and now you rush to win them over. Firstly, it will be inconvenient to win their trust, and secondly, you will offend those daimyo and samurai."

"So, your only choice now is to win over those big names, because winning over those big names is equivalent to winning over samurai. With samurai in hand, and using it as the foundation of the peasant association, you can naturally ignore those ronin and untouchables, and it will be better.

You don’t need to worry about the people sent by Guangge Jianren and his son to cause trouble, because those warriors will solve the problem for you, do you understand?”

Tokugawa Ieqi was immediately overjoyed and bowed his head and said: "Hai! Ieqi understands. Thank you very much, Mr. Ambassador, for your guidance!"

Chen Yan then nodded with a smile and said: "You have to know that the peasant association is just a name, or a symbol. You can regard those famous names as the foundation of the peasant association and let them run it down, so that you can

A network is formed in the place of governance, so that those who are shameless and benevolent cannot penetrate."

At this point, Chen Yan suddenly laughed and said meaningfully: "When I was studying in the Central Plains, I saw a record in the history books about Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Han Dynasty was more powerful than the Xiongnu.

Therefore, Emperor Xiaowu said: The offensive and defensive momentum is easy. The enemy can go, and I can go too!"

Tokugawa Jiaqi's heart moved slightly. He looked up at Chen Yan and asked expectantly: "What do you mean, Mr. Ambassador?"

However, Chen Yan did not answer Tokugawa Ieqi's question. Instead, he picked up the tea cup and said to Tokugawa Ieqi: "Come, drink tea."

Seeing that Chen Yan was about to serve tea to see the guests off, Tokugawa Jiaqi, who knew something about the Central Plains culture, did not dare to delay Chen Yan any longer. He immediately bowed his head and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Ambassador, but Jiaqi has to go back to make arrangements."

Those things about sending envoys and daimyo won’t waste much of Mr. Ambassador’s time!”

After the Tokugawa family got out of the house, Qian Chuan listened for a long time in the next room before opening the door and walking in. Then he looked at Chen Yan with a strange expression and said: "You are really good for the Tokugawa family.

idea."

Chen Yan laughed loudly and said: "As the saying goes, eating people is short-tongued and taking advantage of others is soft-handed. I have taken away the silver mine from Tokugawa Jiaqi, so naturally I have to think about it for him."

After hearing Chen Yan's shameless statement, Qian Chuan's face was filled with question marks - is this something a human can say?

After thinking about it, Qian Chuan simply suggested: "Do you want me to send someone to add more firepower to them?"

Chen Yan shook his head slightly and said: "This fire is enough to burn it now. If we add more fire, it will easily burn too much - we want to make the Japanese country into chaos, but we don't want to completely destroy the Japanese country."

Qian Chuan couldn't help but curled his lips: "You told the Tokugawa family that offensive and defensive forces are easy, aren't you just rushing to let the Japanese country finish its calf?"

But Chen Yan smiled and shook his head, denying Qian Chuan's statement: "They won't be completely finished, because they will fight, fight to be Ming's dog, fight to sell the Japanese country, until the day there is nothing left to sell, then

It’s time for them to finish their work together.”

Qianchuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Are you planning to let them fight each other? But what if Tokugawa Ieqi sends someone to cause trouble for Mitsuge Jianhito and his son? In other words, how do you know Tokugawa Ieqi will not do it?

win?"

Chen Yan shook his head again and said with a smile: "Whether Tokugawa Jiaqi will send people to cause trouble with Guangge Jianren and Kuangong Huiren and his son is hard to say, but I am sure that even if Tokugawa Jiaqi sends people there, it will be of no use.

, because the Kogekihito father and his son never paid attention to the treatment of leprosy from the beginning, they only hoped to drag down the Tokugawa family."

Seeing that Qian Chuan also looked puzzled, Chen Yan simply explained slowly: "Although Guangge Jianren and Kuan Gong Huiren are the lord and prince of the Japanese country, they are only the nominal lord and prince.

The power of the country is actually in the hands of the shogunate, you should know this, right?"

Qian Chuan thought to himself that what you said is a bit contemptuous - I may not be as smart as you scholars, but when it comes to being well-informed, I'm afraid even a hundred of you together can't catch up with me, Qian.

Just a small flag under anyone’s hand!

Chen Yan naturally saw the unconvinced expression on Qian Chuan's face, but Chen Yan didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and said: "Since Guangge Jianren and his son have no soldiers or power, it is natural that they want to solve the problem of leprosy.

There is no way to talk about it, and the inability to solve leprosy means that Guangge Jianren is likely to lose his position as the leader of the Japanese country. Therefore, the only thing that Guangge Jianren and Kuangong Huiren can do now is

Send people to cause trouble for Tokugawa Jiaqi, so that Tokugawa Jiaqi can't cure leprosy, and try to keep his position as the leader of Japan under the same bad circumstances."

Qian Chuan was stunned and said: "Aren't these horses dragging each other to compete with each other?"

Chen Yan suddenly burst into laughter.

Worse?

Isn’t the essence of this world just to compare to the worst?

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were competing against each other. Now among the countries on the small world, other countries except the Ming Dynasty are also competing against each other. At most, the form is somewhat different.
