Although more and more businessmen and students from Korea and Japan have appeared on Hainan Island in recent years, for the few young people who do not serve in the military, their understanding of Korea and Japan mainly comes from written materials , The information we have is far inferior to that of the military.Among these people, Shi Chengwu was the one who knew the most about the situation in Japan and Japan, so he gave a brief explanation to everyone.
Japan's Tokugawa shogunate and Haihan did not actually have a direct conflict, but in the early years, because the Hirado clan colluded with the remnants of Shibashi to fight against Haihan, Haihan sent troops to expeditions to Hirado and other places several times, and he will serve as the ruler's The Tokugawa shogunate was dragged into the water together.Later, Haihan organized a large-scale fleet to show force in Edo Bay, and forced the Tokugawa shogunate to sign the "Hai-Japan Goodwill Treaty" with Haihan, allowing Japan to open designated trading ports to Haihan and give Haihan preferential tariffs.
Japan's forced port opening not only brought huge business opportunities to Haihan, but also had a great impact on its domestic environment.In order to reduce the opposition of the domestic vassals to the conditions, the Tokugawa shogunate raised the emperor who had been emptied for many years as a shield, but this gave the domestic opposition a chance to stand out, and they took the opportunity in the name of saving the country and supporting the emperor. into the political arena.
So far, the domestic political situation in Japan is still in chaos.Due to the signing of the treaty, the prestige of the Tokugawa shogunate in the country has been greatly reduced, and the feudal domain where the trading port designated by Haihan has actually benefited from cross-border trade, and its economic strength has grown rapidly.
Haihan Capital saw the needles, secretly supported a group of people in these feudal clans, used various means to recommend them to power, and then obtained more business preferential conditions through these people.After receiving Haihan's secret support, these vassals naturally no longer obediently obeyed the orders of the shogunate far away in Edo City, and many places began to move around, as if they had their own posture.
As a result, the gap in strength between the various vassals has become more and more obvious. Those places that have not directly benefited from cross-border trade have become more resentful towards the shogunate. Many places have simply raised their flags and opposed the Tokugawa shogunate. continue to rule Japan.
There are also some forces who want to take advantage of the troubled waters, and some even overreaching organize Japanese pirates to try to rob Haihan's merchant ships at sea.
Different opinions from various places naturally lead to constant friction, and frequent armed conflicts between the feudal clans.However, limited by strength, the scale of most conflicts is not too large, and it will not affect Haihan's local interests for the time being.
"For our country, Japan's civil strife has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it can provide us with convenient conditions for supporting local forces, but on the other hand, it will also make some areas more resolutely stand against us. In general, We don't want large-scale wars in Japan at present, at least not affecting our country's normal local trade. The main task of the Sasebo base is to maintain our country's military advantages in the Japanese archipelago and protect our country's interests. In a non-war state Therefore, the East China Sea Fleet's irregular visits to major coastal ports have become an effective means of deterrence."
Shi Chengwu introduced the current situation in Japan and the significance of the East China Sea Fleet's visit to the Japanese archipelago in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
Tao Hongfang asked: "Since this is the case, why doesn't our country follow the example in North Korea and directly support a new ruler, whether it is the so-called emperor or the shogun, as long as he obeys us obediently, many things will not be easy. Is it easier to handle?"
Shi Chengwu shook his head and replied: "The situation in Japan is much more complicated than that in North Korea. The emperor has long been emptied by the shogunate, and the shogunate can only directly control a quarter of the country. They are ruled separately. According to the division method of Japan's five provinces and seven provinces, there are as many as 66 countries, and many places only obey the shogunate in name. If we want to support a puppet to come to power to replace the current Tokugawa shogunate, we must invest a lot of resources, maybe we have to Sending troops to Japan to clear the obstacles to the puppet’s rule will take time and effort, and in the end it may still be a loss-making business.”
Tao Hongfang suddenly said: "In this case, it is indeed better to invest limited resources in the country."
In the eyes of young people like Hai Han, the Japanese archipelago is nothing more than an overseas island country with a lack of supplies. If it weren't for the local consumer market of a certain scale, Hai Han didn't need to spend more energy dealing with it.If it needs to invest a lot of resources, or even implement a large-scale war to achieve indirect rule over the local area, then the price is really not worthwhile for Haihan.If these resources are invested in the area ruled by the former Ming Dynasty, the return they can get will definitely be much higher than that of the island country.
Next, Shi Chengwu introduced the situation in North Korea.North Korea has always been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty in history. However, due to the rise of the Manchu Qing in the Liaodong direction, North Korea finally abandoned Daming, the mud Buddha suzerain country that could not be protected by itself, and took refuge in Haihan, which is more powerful. .
Facts have proved that the choice of standing this time is quite clever. Only more than ten years after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing surrendered to Haihan one after another, and Haihan became the most powerful country in East Asia. , For a while, the international status even surpassed the down-and-out Daming and Manchu Qing.
However, the situation in North Korea was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface. In the early years, Haihan believed that the position of King Li Ji was vacillating, so he invited his eldest son Li Ji to study in Sanya, and then supported him to succeed to the throne.While Li Yi was studying abroad, the traditional court coup in North Korea broke out again in the country. Haihan sent Li Yi back to China and took a lot of trouble to send him to the top.
After this incident, the high-level Haihan also realized that the situation in North Korea was not peaceful, and the tradition of a palace coup would not die out.So in addition to garrisoning troops, Haihan took new measures to send Li Yan's brother Li Hao to Pyongyang City in the north, and let him manage the northern part of North Korea on his behalf in the name of "defending the border on behalf of the king".If there is another palace coup in Seoul and something unexpected happens to Li Yan, then Haihan will allow Li Hao from the north to inherit the throne, and the person who launched the coup will get nothing.
But in this way, North Korea has in fact formed a situation where the North and the South are divided.Although Li Xuan was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, he raised objections to Hai Han many times, but in the end he couldn't make Hai Han change his mind.Moreover, Pyongyang City is not far from Haihan's Datongjiang base. If he tries to solve the problem by force, the Haihan army will definitely intervene quickly at the first time.
