Chapter 1177 Edict Out of Weiyang Palace

Tai Chi is in a state of justice, so how can we work hard to rely on Fu Yao? I suddenly heard the words of heaven when I took up my new life, and I saw the first thing I saw.

The dragons were scattered on all sides and the family was happy, and two groups of people were slacking off their friends. They did not teach the officials to return home in vain, and the rain and dew followed the imperial edict.

"The Rhyme of the Prisoner of Yuanhui" "The Rhyme of the Prisoner of Yuanhui"

Huang Shang [Song Dynasty]

——I am the dividing line—

On a beach in Penglai County, Dengzhou, Zhou Huaian, who had been lingering here for the third day, was also playing with a few mottled stones while listening to the local preliminary work reports from Silla and Japan nearby.

The good news is that in addition to the recovery and expansion of several traditional gold mines along the coast between Denrae, Japan has also achieved corresponding results in its preliminary preparations and operations. The most important gain is that it is one of the largest gold mines in Japan and is also relatively convenient for mining in this era. The Kinsula Sado Island, known as the pillar of the Tokugawa Shogunate's 300-year financial support, has been found.

Therefore, the corresponding shallow mining methods have been completed on the island, and the proposed port trests and temporary settlements were established at the estuary of the coastal river. The mottled stones that Zhou Huaian played with were the raw gold samples obtained after digging pits from many places in the local area. Although they looked inconspicuous, there were natural gold particles of large and small after crushing and grinding, which were visible to the naked eye.

But the relatively bad news is that it has been an exile island since the Nara period in Japan. Therefore, in addition to a few coastal fishing villages, the huge island is actually extinct, let alone has decent transportation and self-sustaining ability to stabilize the source of labor. In fact, both the Yokohama (Echigoku country) belonging to Sado Island and the Japan of this era are quite poor and backward.

You should know that the current Japanese country has only a few million household registrations, and with the strength of the whole country, it can only maintain and support Heian Kyoto (now Kyoto, Japan). This is a city of Central China, and the decent life of the nobles, nobles, officials and monks living there; as for the other five local government departments and seven roads, the jurisdiction of the county departments; it is also a place between the forts and villages in Central China.

Therefore, even on the Honshu Island, which is the heart of Japan, there are still many undeveloped wilderness areas and wild forest tribes; even near Pingchengjing, which is the capital, and in other countries with regulations, there are still a large number of savage settlements active in the forest; just like the stories of Chinese people (inside the city) and savages (outside the city) in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period.

Therefore, if you want to obtain the labor force for subsequent development of Sado Jinshan, it is not enough to rely solely on the technicians and craftsmen from the mainland to transport past; you must also obtain more basic labor supplements from local materials to further carry out subsequent work; at the same time, it is imperative to carry out agricultural reclamation nearby to obtain self-sustaining ability after expanding the scale of mining;

Therefore, as the person in charge of this line, he also came up with a multi-pronged package of plans according to local conditions. On the one hand, he negotiated with the Japanese court and traded the imports of ships on a regular route to exchange for slaves and tribes under the domination of the Japanese court. On the other hand, he bought and hired the armed forces under the jurisdiction of Echigo Kōji and captured the strong men from the settlements of local savages and mountain people as a supplement.

Because of the relative geographical isolation and enclosure of Sado Island on the sea, as long as there is enough maritime power to maintain and blockade, the confidentiality of mining activities for a long time can be ensured. Of course, we must also prepare for force confrontation and military intervention in the punishment after conflicts with local areas. After all, wealth is touching and powerful, and there are also people who are blind.

With the local backward productivity and technical conditions, there is no need for too high-end labor; as long as there is enough labor, the ore mined in the mine is crushed and grounded with a hydraulic mechanism to select the crude gold ore sand, and load it regularly directly into Dengzhou along the wind and sea currents, and then further smelting and casting are carried out.

As for conquering the entire Japan, I'm sorry, it's not in the basic considerations of the Taiping Governor's Office. After all, in addition to providing cheap labor for the relatively rich gold and silver veins, the Fuso Islands are now a remote country full of poverty, backward and wild lands. Even the subsequent maintenance and occupation costs that are achieved will be completely useless.

It is better to take advantage of the comprehensive gap between the upstream political, economic and cultural differences in civilization, and dump them into it, and then indirectly support some interest agents to subsequently exploit and exploit the local government in the name of the local regime. Compared with the relatively calm in the Japanese recruitment process, Silla, which is now a mess, is much more lively.

At least, under the call and influence of Cui Zhiyuan, the number one leading party, the so-called expedition camp, which now has the Huainan army as its core, has spread its influence across most of the southern part of the Jiuzhou and the Five Capitals of the Silla Kingdom. It can be said that except for the northern part of Liangzhou, where the Silla King Jing (Jincheng) is located, more than 100 cities and towns in more than 20 counties have been directly or indirectly controlled.

Moreover, in these directly controlled areas of Silla, he also made a name to implement many policies and policies that the Taiping Army had implemented earlier in disguise, and naturally encountered various fierce resistance or lip service resistance; it also led to repeated military changes and local turmoil. However, none of them shook his determination to implement the new policy.

Therefore, during this process of confrontation and game, even the king envoys from the capital disappeared on the road; there were also several great nobles of real families and dozens of small and medium-sized nobles with sixth ranks and above, shattered by the wandering rebels and bandits; hundreds of local tyrants, village owners, ministers and other local tyrants were then destroyed by Zhenping or dead clans.

Therefore, except for the fact that the king's order was not publicly issued, Cui Zhiyuan's camp in the south has completely broken the face with Wang Jing, and only the last bit of a fragile balance maintained by the fig leaf was left; but compared with the increasingly fierce rebellion and separatist trend in the north, the Wang Jing court, who was also helpless, dared not act rashly.

In the struggle that could only fight in private but not break, it formed a somewhat subtle dynamic balance with this local force that spans the three states but still belongs to the court in name; because, the southern camp, with the Huainan Guest Army as the backbone, had expanded to tens of thousands, and there were hundreds of armed civilian garrisons from all over the country, and tens of thousands of Ding Zhuang under the organization and management.

However, at this time, Cui Zhiyuan, who was the first to bear the brunt of the table, was not only not classified by the sixth-rank head Cui family, but also sent troops to investigate the illegal rituals of Haichuan Temple in Qingliang Mountain under his control, and broke into the hidden thieves in Tongdu Temple in Zinajiuqi Mountain. Afterwards, he was denounced as a "evil and evil person in the world" who was disrespectful to Buddhism by the monks led by the Five Courtyards of Jiushan, Silla.

It can be said that those close friends, old friends, old friends who Cui Zhiyuan had made among the middle and upper class aristocratic officials in the past, as well as the low-ranking children and followers who were gathered around him, including the few and most of the good people who were eager to turn over and change their hometowns, civilians, slaves, and subordinates, others could not bear the pressure of being betrayed by the family and deceased.

In the end, among the few remaining old acquaintances, they also studied in the Tang Dynasty, and came from the Central Affairs and Education Department, the Provincial Department of Publicity, Chongwentai and other close servants and other officials. In the same year, they formed a group of tribute students, including Wang Juren, who was also a major scholar in the opposition, and stood firmly on his side, and called them "the conscience of the world" and "the model of clear streams".

Therefore, the few Shilins in Silla were split into several factions such as Baowang, Fuchao, Shouxiang and Funan. Cui Zhiyuan, praised by the great scholar Wang Juren, and the former Central Affairs and Ministry of Affairs, was called the Funan School or the Reform School with Jin Haijing as the center, and was called the Funan School or the Reform School, and reported to each other, citing classics and citing the classics and punishing them endlessly.

However, at this point, Cui Zhiyuan's expedition camp also reached a bottleneck, and he was temporarily unable to continue to expand his territory and control areas, and instead continued to consolidate the local government and implement reform policies. At this time, the chaotic situation in the central and northern states of Silla finally evolved into several major separatist forces distributed across states during annexation and chaos.

In addition to Liang Ji, the hero who had the greatest popularity and occupied most of Beiyuan Jing and Shuozhou, there was also Shida Temple (Xingjiao Temple), one of the nine mountains of Silla Buddha, who claimed to be the illegitimate son of King Jingwen of Silla, and led his followers to occupy Tiewon County (now Teiwon, Gangwon Province, South Korea) and monk Shanzong, who was in the southwest of Hanzhou.

He also claimed to be a general of the rebel army and led his troops to occupy Zhuzhou County, and also annexed the rich chief Jixuan on the coast of Mingzhou; and he also pretended to be the prefect and stole the Acige from Shafu County and the northern part of Shuozhou; he was originally the northern part of Hanzhou controlled by the Songyue County Master, and the military city and village laid in Yanbian;

While Xiongzhou and Shangzhou in the central part of Silla were fighting for their own territory and annexation and separatist forces, they were also continuing to fight and attack each other; therefore, in fact, in fact, they still belonged to the territory under the rule of Silla King Jing. In addition to Wuzhou, Kangzhou and Liangzhou, which were affected by the Battle of the South Camp, there was only a large part of Shangzhou, as well as the isolated Hanzhou Central Plains Jing and Xiyuan Jing in Xiongzhou.

As for the founders of Zhen Xuan, Gongzi, Wang Jian, Wang Jian and other post Goguryeo and Baekje, who need to be paid special attention, there is no trace of them; it is like it has been destroyed in history. But no matter what, since the Pinglu army has been settled and the territory of Hebei has gradually been pacified, it will be a matter of time before it can be increased across the sea to increase investment in Silla's strategy.

However, at this time, an urgent report from Hebei once again interrupted Zhou Huaian's few beach vacations. This made him look at the graceful figure playing in the sea pool that was dug up behind the curtain with some regret.
