Chapter 1820 A gift from God? Three pieces of rags
"You said that the Ezo people conquered Mutsu, Musashi and other countries, marched eastward along the seaside, and have now reached Asukakyo?"
Sumarishi glared at his son, wondering if this kid was talking nonsense.
Honshu Island was originally the place where the ancestors of the Ezo people lived, but since the rise of Yamato, the indigenous Ezo people have been brutally and persecuted for hundreds of years, and they were finally driven down the sea to escape to the ice-covered Ezo Island. Continuous ethnic group.
The Ezo people were brave and warlike, but due to their nomadic characteristics, their population was not prosperous. Although there were several large-scale resistances during this period, they were all suppressed due to the sparse population.
For more than a hundred years, the Ezo people have long accepted their fate and made a living in the ice and snow of Ezo Island. Even if the Japanese gradually conquered the island in pursuit of Ezo Island's mineral deposits, they did not see any extreme behavior by the Ezo people. After the occasional counterattack was defeated, , and they were all willing to be enslaved by the Japanese...
How come he suddenly resisted, and was able to conquer cities and defeat Mutsu, Musashi and other countries along the way?
You need to know that among the many feudal kingdoms of the Japanese Kingdom, the Mutsu Kingdom is vast, the Musashi Kingdom is prosperous and prosperous, and both countries are powerful. How could they be defeated one by one by the dolphin-like Ezo people?
Minta Soga looked confused and said: "I don't know what happened, but now it is a fact that Iga has been defeated. A coalition of thousands of Ezo people and bandits has reached the border, and it will take less than two days to cross the mountains. Directly to Asukahara ”
Sumarishi has a crazy desire to curse.
What are you doing?
What's wrong with our Suga family being plotted against by the royal family and only then rising up to resist?
How about a wave of feudal coalition forces on the left and a wave of Ezo coalition forces on the right, bullying everyone in turn?
Are you going to let people live?
Although the feudal coalition forces were defeated, the current situation is still grim. Since the Ezo people can defeat Mutsu, Musashi and other countries head-on, their combat power must be strong. Although they don't know how their combat power suddenly increased, but with the current situation of the Soga family losing troops and generals, they may not be able to resist.
Sumama had no choice but to say: "Go to Namba Tsu to see the Tang people and ask them to send troops to help us resist the Ezo people."
This is the only and best way.
Just...
Suga Mingtai said with a bitter face: "The Tang people are greedy. The last time they resisted the allied forces of the feudal states, they had already opened treaty ports and allowed the Tang people to mine in the territory of Japan. This time, I don't know what excessive demands they will make."
"So what can we do? If you want something from others, then you will definitely be at the mercy of others. As long as you survive this period of time, the situation will be stable after you successfully ascend the throne. Then we will slowly take action. Now let them ask for whatever they want. Everyone agrees. In addition, listen to what the Tang people say to see if the 'Three Divine Weapons' really fell into their hands."
Sumarishi closed his eyes, feeling that the darkness in front of him seemed to be boundless. When he was slightly dizzy, a feeling of exhaustion came over him.
Are you getting old after all...
The loss of the "Three Divine Weapons" is already an unforgivable crime. A more serious crime than losing the "Three Divine Weapons" is to have them fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty...
Suga Mingtao said hurriedly: "Yes, my son is leaving for Namba Tsu immediately, and he also asks his father to take care of himself. Although the situation is unfavorable at the moment, as long as we get through it, the light will surely return. When he ascends the throne of the emperor and announces it to the world, my father is The hero of our family for generations.”
Suama Lishi cheered up and thought that what his son said made sense. Didn't the Han people say that "when heaven is going to give a great responsibility to a person, he must first harden his mind." Maybe this is the test given by Amaterasu Omikami?
"Go back quickly. If the Ezo people really come to attack, my father will stop the soldiers from joining the battle, but it probably won't be delayed for long, so remember this."
"Yes!"
Minta Soga left Asukakyo with his attendants overnight and went straight to Nambazu.

"What the hell is this?"
In the monastery of Namba Tsutennoji Temple, Fang Jun asked the soldiers to open the box they brought back and weigh how much gold there was, but he saw the soldiers taking out several rags from a box.
A piece of ancient jade that is half green and half white, dark in color and shaped like a "C", a broken bronze mirror with tortoise cracks on the back and engraved auspicious patterns such as pine, bamboo, plum, turtle and crane on the back, and a handle with a golden blade wrapped around it. A big sword that is oiled but has some thoughts at first glance...
The soldiers were also confused. Someone said: "It looks like it is broken, but since it can be placed together with gold, it cannot be said to be an ancient artifact from the previous dynasty?"
Fang Jun stepped forward to take a look and waved his hand casually: "What an antique. Antiques are not valuable these days... Besides, the Japanese country was so poor that they didn't even have a serious history book. Antiquities with no historical significance have nothing to do with it." Use it? Take it away and throw it away quickly.”
"Here!"
The soldier took off his clothes and rolled up these three rags, and was about to take them out and throw them away. However, he hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly: "How about... the Marquis gives this to me? I will always give it to you." I feel like maybe it’s not just junk, but it might also be worth something.”
Someone on the left and right laughed and said: "That's okay, but later the Marquis will reward you for your merits, so your share will only be these rags."
When the soldier heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "I just saw that this thing is a bit rare. How can it be compared with the reward from the Marquis? I will never change it! But the hilt of the sword is wrapped with gold thread, so the Marquis will reward it." Aren’t you humble?”
Fang Jun waved his hand and told him to get out of here.
The soldier put a few pieces of rags under his ribs and walked out.
When he arrived at the door, he met Jin Famin who walked in quickly and almost bumped into him. The soldiers quickly stepped back and bowed to apologize. Although this man was not from the Tang Dynasty, he was treated with courtesy by his own marquis and should not be treated lightly.
Jin Famin said "Oh", waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and walked into the house. He just took a step, suddenly turned around, stared at the soldier who had just turned around, and asked: "What are you holding?"
The tatters were wrapped in clothes, but the sword was a bit long, and part of the hilt wrapped with gold wire was exposed, and Jin Famin saw it.
"I found a few things in the gold box, and the Marquis ordered me to throw them away."
The soldier stopped and replied.
"Oh? Let me see."
"Here."
The soldier lifted up his wrapped clothes and let Jin Famin take a closer look.
Jin Famin was just curious. After taking a look, he didn't see anything valuable. He thought that the Japanese were really shabby, putting three pieces of tatters with ideas together with gold...
Uh...three pieces of rags?
Jin Famin's heart suddenly moved, a mirror, a piece of Magatite, a big sword...
Oh my God!
Could it be the "Three Divine Weapons" that were the sacred objects of the Japanese emperor?
He quickly called the soldier back, took the three pieces of rags from his hand, brought them to Fang Jun, and said, "Master Marquis, have you ever heard of the 'Three Divine Weapons' of the Japanese Emperor?"
Fang Jun was stunned, three artifacts?
He had heard about it in his previous life, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It seemed that one of them was a Kusanagi sword, but it had been lost long ago... but he knew the meaning of the "Three Divine Weapons".
It is said that when Tiansun came, Amaterasu Daimikami awarded Qiongqiongchuzun three artifacts, which were inherited by Japanese emperors from generation to generation.
These three artifacts have always been regarded as tokens of the Japanese royal family and are worshiped by the people...
The Japanese are a rigid and restrained nation, and it is extremely difficult to accept new things. They will enthusiastically maintain and inherit everything they are familiar with. There are endless reform events in the history of various countries in the world, but the Japanese reform was very difficult, so there were only a few Successful reforms are naturally written about in great detail and praised to the fullest.
The history of the Japanese nation was in chaos. Since there was no writing in the early period, we had to rely on oral transmission. Can what we say be accurate? Of course, it was beautified and passed around, and it became a myth. So the most unique scene in the history of the world appeared. There was actually a nation that seriously regarded the myths passed down from ancient times as national history, and firmly believed that it was not Doubt...
Since we believe that the words in myths are not lies, we naturally worship the "Three Divine Weapons" given by God and regard them as tokens of God. The Emperor is the son of Amaterasu Omikami and is its spokesperson in the human world.
“Brother Jin is saying that these three pieces of junk are the ‘three sacred weapons’ of the Japanese?”
Fang Jun stared in disbelief.
"The Kusanagi Sword, the Eight-foot Magatama, and the Eight-tatami Mirror...I have never seen the true appearance of the 'Three Divine Weapons'. In fact, except for the Emperor himself, very few people have seen it, but look at these... …Ragged boy, doesn’t it fit?”
A sword, a piece of jade, a mirror... If it's just a coincidence, it doesn't make sense, right? (End of chapter)
