Chapter 20: The Attitudes of Various Dynasties Towards Japan
The 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty
Emperor Kangxi Xuanye saw the video and was furious: "Shame."
The princes also denounced Japan. Crown Prince Yinreng scolded: "Empress Dowager Cixi, you celebrated your birthday with such a grand ceremony."
"Japan, do you dare to invade our territory in the future?!" Prince Yinzhi of Zhi couldn't believe that the small country of Japan could have such ability.
Emperor Kangxi Xuanye once again complained about Tianmu. Tianmu's ability to predict the future was shared with everyone in the world. Xuanye thought it would lead to instability in the court. Why couldn't it be shown only to the royal family?
Since entering the Pass, the anti-Qing and restoration of Ming movement has always existed, especially the last time a video of the anti-Qing and restoration of Ming movement was broadcast, it really exposed a lot of anti-Qing rebels.
Before the sky curtain, Emperor Kangxi Xuanye always believed that he had done a very good job as the emperor for decades, and that all problems arising at home and abroad had been well resolved. Now that there is a sky curtain, it also reflects many current situations from the side.
"Alas, must Qing take the Western path?"
Kangxi himself once said: "Overseas countries such as the Western world may cause China to suffer from them thousands of years later. This is what I foresaw."
They also knew that Western politics, economy, technology, and thought had developed, and that many Western items had been introduced into the country, but they saw them only as interesting and did not really take the West to heart, still viewing it as barbarians.
At the same time, the people under Kangxi's rule
Although we didn’t quite understand what the sky curtain was saying, we all knew that it was a good thing. Many people were illiterate, but they could understand every word that appeared on the sky curtain as if by magic.
As everyone knows, during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, we went to war with Japan. Japan won, and we paid a lot of money and ceded land.
There were also some who did not understand at first, and the educated scholars were willing to explain it to them.
The emperor knew everything, but he was unwilling to do anything. He just wanted to maintain his ruling position.

The 28th year of Qin Shi Huang
After all, the time interval was too long, and Qin Shihuang did not have much affection for Japan. Japan was separated by the sea, and although it would pose a threat to China in a long time, Ying Zheng now wanted to go to the west more than to the sea.
Ever since the An-Shi Rebellion, the map of the prosperous Tang Dynasty has deeply attracted Ying Zheng.
As for Japan across the sea, we'll talk about it later when we have time...
"It turns out that there is Japan on the other side of the sea." Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng thought of Xu Fu whom he met. He said that there were three fairy mountains in the sea, namely Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou, where fairies lived. So he ordered Xu Fu to go out to sea to ask the fairies for the elixir of immortality.
But Xu Fu returned empty-handed. Finally, he was given 3000 more people, craftsmen, technicians, and grain seeds, and allowed to go out to sea again.
So Xu Fu couldn't find the elixir at all when he went to sea? He was deceiving me!

Han Dynasty, the third year of Yuanshou
"Japan is truly despicable!" Huo Qubing commented sharply.
"Qingzhen is rich." This is Liu Che's sigh.
"Empress Dowager Cixi is indeed a sinner," Wei Qing added.
Liu Che looked at his general, then turned to look at Sang Hongyang.
Sang Hongyang felt embarrassed being looked at like that. He certainly knew what the emperor was thinking, but he had to pretend to be ignorant.
My Majesty, even if you have great ambitions, you must also consider our actual situation. Solve the problems of the Huns and the Western Regions completely before thinking about other things.
Sang Hongyang silently revealed his thoughts to Liu Che. Well... they were indeed a harmonious monarch and minister. Liu Che understood Sang Hongyang's meaning in seconds.
I couldn't help but sigh, alas, the Han people are still too poor!
How come the Qing Dynasty is so rich? The compensation is in the hundreds of millions.

Tang Dynasty, the first year of Zhenguan
"..."
"The Qing Dynasty is really rich."
"That's right, two hundred million taels of silver..."
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others complained.
"The money obtained by squeezing the people is used for compensation." Li Shimin pursed his lips, "Oh, it is worthy of being called Nu Qing, Kneeling Qing, and Barbarian Qing."
"Li Longji has also become famous in later generations..." Li Shimin still remembered this descendant who brought the prosperous Tang Dynasty into decline, and became even angrier.
"When the power of two countries is equal, diplomacy is power. When the power of two countries is disparate, power is diplomacy." Li Jing savored this sentence and agreed with it.
"Don't even think you can get anything you can't get on the battlefield through the negotiation table." Hou Junji suddenly thought of this sentence.
"Japan, what do you think?" Li Shimin blurted out this question, and the officials in the Zhenguan period immediately understood.
Hehe, Your Majesty wants to fight Japan, well... I want to fight more wars and gain more military exploits. This is what the generals think.
Alas, we have to fight the Turks, fight Japan, and create a prosperous era... It's so tiring. This is what the civil officials think.
In the end, everyone said the same thing: "Fight!"

Tang Dynasty, the first year of Qianfeng
"You are just a tiny country! How dare you call yourself the emperor? Where's your face?" For some reason, when Li Zhi saw the words "Emperor Meiji", he found it difficult to reason rationally. He seemed to feel that the title of Emperor was really not worthy of them.
"Hmph, they are just Japanese invaders. They will dare to invade us again in the future." Wu Zetian commented.
"Measure the material resources of China and win the favor of other countries. What an arrogant tone." Wu Zetian looked down on the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty. She really brought shame to women.
"The Qing Dynasty has lost all its shame! No wonder there have been constant comments saying bad things about the Qing Dynasty since the last issue." Li Zhi was already thinking about the possibility of attacking Japan from the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Dynasty, 23rd year of Kaiyuan
Li Longji was hurt by Tianmu's comments. How could "朕" become an adjective? How could Qianlong, an emperor of a different race, be compared with "朕"? It's infuriating!
I mentioned the An-Shi Rebellion again. Oh, can you please stop mentioning it? I don’t know if the people of the Tang Dynasty are still willing to believe in me…
Japan?
"Japan has sent envoys to our Tang Dynasty several times."
"Last time you said you wanted to inherit our Tang Dynasty, but you don't even look at your own character. How can you be worthy of being a monkey in a human form?"
Li Longji reflected on his mistakes over the past few years and decided to try harder, get close to wise ministers and stay away from villains.
The Anshi Rebellion exposed by Tianmu and the rumors that I would die early made the people of the Tang Dynasty somewhat uneasy. Perhaps we can divert everyone's attention through another war?

Song Dynasty, Qiande Year 5
"The Qing Dynasty deserves to perish!" Zhao Kuangyin watched several videos and finally found a dynasty that was more annoying than the current Song Dynasty.
In fact, Zhao Kuangyin also had the idea of sending troops to Japan, but this idea only existed for a moment before it was rejected. At present, the Song Dynasty had not yet completed the great unification, and it was not worthwhile to send troops to fight Japan. It was too small and had few resources, so it was useless...

Yuan Dynasty - 21st year of Zhiyuan
Japan?
As one of the few emperors who had fought with Japan, Kublai Khan stroked his beard and recalled the two times he had sent envoys to Japan to demand Japan's surrender, but was rejected both times.
The Yuan Dynasty sent troops to attack Japan in the 12th and 19th years of the Zhiyuan period. The first time, there were more than 40,000 troops, and the second time, there were 140,000 troops. However, Japan resisted firmly, and with the help of hurricanes, the Yuan army suffered defeat both times, losing most of its troops, and only a small number of remnants escaped.
This prevented Kublai Khan from fulfilling his wish and was a knot in his heart.
Originally, Kublai Khan attributed the reason for Japan's victory to the fact that many of the Yuan army were not good at water and encountered a hurricane.
But seeing Japan being so arrogant in the future made him angry again, but was he going to spend manpower and financial resources to attack Japan again? Kublai Khan was unsure.
Although he didn't know why, Kublai Khan always firmly believed that there would be Mongolians in China in the future!
Maybe because he regarded the younger generation as his own children, he had an extra layer of disgust towards Japan. If he had another chance, he would definitely fight Japan, destroy the country, and exterminate the race.
Alas, what worries Kublai Khan is the AD time mentioned in the previous video. Some ministers have calculated that there are 365 years between the Yuan Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty. There are 11 emperors mentioned in the Ming Dynasty. Assuming each emperor lasts for 20 years, there are 220 years in total, so the Yuan Dynasty will only last 145 years.
This made Kublai Khan, who thought he was stronger than the weak Song Dynasty, extremely uncomfortable.
How could the Yuan Dynasty last only a hundred years!

Ming Dynasty Hongwu 26th year
Qin Wang Zhu Chong: "Even though it is far away, we must pay compensation. How shameful."
Jin Wang Zhu Gang: "How can our Ming army be without food?"
Prince of Yan Zhu Di: "No money yet."
King Zhou Zhu Su: "They also say that my Ming Dynasty is also rotten."
Zhu Su's words attracted the attention of the three kings of Qin, Jin and Yan. Zhu Su said sinisterly: "Fifth brother, have you forgotten your last name?"
As a member of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gang said: "The Ming Dynasty is invincible! The Qing Dynasty just usurped my kingdom by chance!"
Zhu Di: "They are scolding me, it's really unreasonable."
"Japan has also fought a war with our Ming Dynasty?" Prince Zhu Bo of Hunan couldn't believe it. Where did they get the courage from such a small country?
Zhu Yuanzhang held his forehead with his hand. Japan was one of the fifteen countries he had listed as not to be conquered. With the lessons learned from the Yuan Dynasty, the price paid for the conquest was too high. The current naval combat power of the Ming Dynasty still needs to be strengthened. First, make adequate preparations, and then... strive for success in one fell swoop...
"When you go back today, you must give me 'Your salary and benefits are the blood and sweat of the people. It is easy to abuse the people, but it is hard to cheat God. ' Copy it several times and remember it well!" Zhu Yuanzhang issued a task to his more than 20 sons.
Alas, it is hard to find a few good ones among my sons...
