Datang Nongwang

Chapter 730 Japanese?

Buyeo is the surname of the royal family of Baekje.

Fu Yuzhang, King of Baekje, also known as King Wu, King Tiger, King Wukang or King Wuguang, is the No.30 king of Baekje.

Fu Yuzhang was once canonized by Li Yuan as the king of Daifang County.

After Fu Yuzhang came to power, he had been dealing with Goguryeo and the Sui Dynasty in the early days, seeking benefits for Baekje by using the two sides to fight each other.

After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, Fu Yuzhang wanted to work hard to maintain a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

but.

The Tang Dynasty had a very good relationship with Silla.

Naturally, the relationship between Baekje and the Tang Dynasty was farther than that of Silla.

Moreover.

In the later period of Fu Yuzhang's reign, he has always maintained a close relationship with Goguryeo, and even launched a campaign against Silla year after year.

This also intensified, and the relationship between Baekje and Tang State became worse and worse.

A small country like Baekje has not been destroyed until now, and it is enough to see that there are smart people in this country.

After all, only smart people can survive among these countries.

Even, it can survive between powerful countries such as the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, as well as countries with discord between Goguryeo and the two dynasties.

Smart people can always live long.

Fu Yuzhang, the monarch, is such a smart man.

Even if he attacked Silla from time to time, he did not provoke punishment from the Tang Dynasty, and he was even conferred by Li Yuan, which shows that Fu Yuzhang is definitely not a fool.

Fu Yuzhang is not stupid.

But his son was a little stupid.

This year, after Fu Yuzhang passed away, his son Fu Yu Yici succeeded his father, but he never sent envoys to Tang to request canonization.

What kind of righteousness, what kind of reputation, what kind of name, in Fuyu Yici's eyes, it doesn't seem to be important.

But also truthful.

History.

After Fuyu Yici came to power, he carried out a series of reforms to Baekje, which strengthened the royal power.

Moreover, he personally led troops to attack Silla, and sent troops to garrison more than forty cities in Silla.

Moreover, they also sought to seize Tangxiang City, blocking the way for Silla to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, which forced Silla to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty.

And Li Shimin also issued an edict to persuade both sides.

Later, that is, one or two years later, Fuyu Yici saw that the Tang Dynasty used force against Goguryeo, so he took the opportunity to capture seven cities in Silla, and then captured more than a dozen cities.

Even, no longer pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Shimin's death, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi came to power and issued an edict to Fuyu Yici to return the city land he occupied in Silla. Fuyu Yici resisted and ignored it, and continued to launch a war against Silla.

But he had never thought about helping Yu Yici.

A few years after he resisted the decree, the Tang Dynasty teamed up with Silla to break through Baekje.

And this Fuyu Yici was also captured in Luoyang, and finally died of illness in Luoyang.

For this reason, Baekje has also become history.

It can be known from the historical records that this king is really not as good as his predecessors.

Call him stupid, but he is not stupid, call him smart, but because of him, the country died again.

If he can still survive in the cracks like his predecessors, Baekje may not perish.

Even though Baekje used to be the territory of the great Han, in the Tang Dynasty, whether it was Li Shimin or Li Zhi, it was difficult to find a reason to start a war.

But the words came back again.

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was able to use an excuse to regain the lost territory, which is quite a feat.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Chongyuan watched the situation on the coast, and talked with Xingba about Baekje.

At this time, the fishermen on the coast, reacting from their loss of consciousness, began to run around in a panic.

in their cognition.

The giant ship in the sea must have come to attack Baekje.

This is not.

When it was dark, there were many torches on the coast.

Li Chongyuan, who was having dinner at first, came out of the cabin after receiving the news, looked at the thousands of torches on the coast, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that Baekje mistakenly thought that we were going to attack them. So many Soldiers appear here, I wonder if the government of Baekje will dispatch ships to surround us tomorrow."

"My lord, those small boats in Baekje, don't say they dare not come, even if they dare to come, as long as our paddle steamer moves, they will completely overturn their small boats and let them go to feed the fish." Xingba didn't care at all.

Yes.

Who cares.

Although Baekje is a small country, it is still a country of county kings.

The boat is pitifully small.

Even though Baekje had learned the shipbuilding craft of Tang State, this level is really not good.

Li Chongyuan smiled, and stopped paying attention to the situation on the coast, returned to the boat cabin, and continued to eat his dinner.

Soldiers appear on the coast, and the fleet must be on guard.

In the distance, Chen Juan and the others' ship had already issued a warning signal.

After a while, the boats began to diverge, the big boats surrounded the small boats, and people watched the coast and the sea surface from time to time.

ashore.

An official from Baekje looked at the giant ship on the sea and asked a fisherman, "Are you sure that those ships belong to Tang State?"

"My lord, it is indeed a ship of the Tang State. We saw the flag of the Tang State flying on the boat." The fishermen were a little scared, but they were also greedy for rewards from the government.

According to Baekje's decree, if foreign enemies are found, they can get a big reward.

As for whether the huge fleet of the Tang State was a foreign enemy, Baekje officials couldn't be sure, let alone be sure, so the reward, of course, was gone.

Baekje officials were worried that Tang's fleet was really coming to attack Baekje.

They sent people to Sibi overnight to report to their king.

dawn.

Li Chongyuan got up, washed up, and ate breakfast leisurely.

But at this time, Xingba came to report, "Xiao Langjun, there is a small boat approaching."

"After waiting all night, they finally sent someone here. Let's go and have a look." General Li Chongyuan finished his bowl of porridge, got up and left the cabin.

Coming to the bow of the ship, looking up, dozens of small boats are slowly approaching the coast in the distance.

Xingba pointed to the coast, "Xiao Langjun, look over there. When I was watching just now, I found thousands of people gathered there, and they all seemed to be Baekje soldiers."

"Don't be afraid, we are not here to attack Baekje, we don't have to be afraid of how many soldiers they send. Besides, the officials of Baekje have already seen our Tang Dynasty's flag, and they dare not mess around. Even if they If we dare to mess around, we don't have to be afraid of them. However, although we are not afraid of them, we still have to be on guard." Li Chongyuan couldn't see whether there were soldiers in the direction Xingba pointed to.

But Li Chongyuan believed in Xingba's words, and also believed that there must be Baekje soldiers hiding in the woods on the coast.

I came to Baekje suddenly. If Baekje didn't do anything, it wouldn't be called Baekje.

When the dozens of small boats came to the fleet, Li Chongyuan looked down.

On the small boat, there are Baekje officials and Baekje soldiers.

Although there are not many people, there are dozens of people on each small boat.

What's more, these soldiers are all wearing leather armor and holding sharp soldiers, and they can tell at a glance that these are not good mistakes.

That is true.

The Baekje soldiers even went to battle, and their hands were more or less bloody.

On the small boat, the Baekje official looked at the giant Tang ship not far away. He was already shocked, but when he got closer, he was even more shocked.

However, they were shocked, but they knew their mission, "Dare to ask who is here! What's the important thing for me to come to Baekje!"

The people of Baekje knew that the huge ships in front of them belonged to the Tang State. After all, the flags of the Tang State were hung on the ships, and on the flags, there was a Chinese character for Tang and even a Chinese character for Li.

Even so, these Baekje officials let go of their words and asked loudly who and what happened to those who came.

Le Dao of the boat in front had already been instructed, looked at the small boat below, and shouted loudly: "We are the envoys of the Great Tang Dynasty. We are envoys to your country by the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty. This is the official letter of our Great Tang Dynasty."

The letter of credence was handed over with a long stick.

After reading the letter of credence, the officials of Baekje quickly bowed to Le Dao, "It turns out that Tang Guogui's envoy came to Baekje. This is the blessing and glory of Baekje. Please wait a few days for Tang Guogui My Baekje King will definitely send someone to welcome your envoy."

Baekje officials and others left, and went to make an announcement.

and so on.

This is the most basic.

If there is no corresponding etiquette and ritual system to welcome the envoy to any country, the envoy has the right to refuse.

Just like when an envoy from a superior country wants to go to a lower country, the ruler of that country must come to greet him. This is a ritual system.

If the head of the country does not come, it means that the country is rebellious.

Of course, if the king does not come, he can also send his son or prime minister to greet him, but the etiquette system for welcoming envoys must be equal to that of the king.

Li Chongyuan has long been familiar with such a process.

Baekje is the next country, and it is also the country of the county king.

Li Chongyuan is the county king of the Tang Kingdom, and even a relative of the Li family.

This mission to Baekje represents Tang.

Their status and status are all higher than the Baekje King, so naturally, the Baekje King Fuyu Yici must come, even if he sends an eldest son, it will not succeed.

waiting.

Officials from Baekje came here in small boats from time to time, and brought some food from time to time.

However, Li Chongyuan dared not eat it.

It's not because they are afraid that Baekje officials will poison them or something, but just in case.

There is a saying that you must not have the heart to harm others, but you must not have the heart to guard against others.

Before Li Chongyuan and the others set sail, all the preparations had been done. Naturally, this food was also the largest in quantity.

There are many people on the boat, and there are many things.

But even so, the boat was still not full, and it still seemed empty.

a few days later.

When Li Chongyuan got a little impatient waiting, the flag of the Baekje royal family and the guard of honor finally appeared on the coast.

soon.

Li Chongyuan is holding a scepter.

Stepping on Baekje In order to welcome him, Li Chongyuan set foot on Baekje.

A middle-aged man, wearing royal clothes, greeted Li Chongyuan, bowed his hands and saluted, "Fuyu Yici has met the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, King Li Jun."

Li Chongyuan looked at this Baekje king who claimed to be Fuyu Yici, and really couldn't comment.

He is not short, but he is so thin that Li Chongyuan mistakenly thought it was a wooden stick in royal clothes.

Thin, really thin.

His face was yellow and his eyes were dull. Li Chongyuan's first impression was that he was licentious day and night.

Fuyu Yici didn't dare to call himself the king of Baekje, but could only call himself by his first name. Li Chongyuan laughed in his heart after hearing this.

His father was canonized by Li Yuan as the King of Daifang County, but he only came to power this year, and he has never been canonized by Li Shimin, only inheriting his father's title.

The fact that he did not get the canonization of the Tang State showed that Fuyu Yici was not the lord of Baekje.

"Your Majesty Daifang is being polite. This king is hereby ordered by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to go to your country as an envoy, and please give me your convenience." Li Chongyuan bowed back.

At this time, Li Chongyuan called Fuyu Yici the king of Daifang County, which made sense.

Although the father's position that he inherited has not been canonized by the Tang Dynasty, he must be the king of Baekje after all.

The king of Baekje cannot be called, the king of the country cannot be called, and the name cannot be called, so Li Chongyuan can only call him the king of Daifang County.

When Fuyu Yici saw that Li Chongyuan called him the King of Daifang County, his eyelids twitched, and his face immediately showed a look of alertness, "It's a blessing for my Baekje that King Li Chongyuan sent me as an envoy. It's a pity that I My father passed away, and this king is in mourning. Otherwise, this king must go to Chang'an to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. However, this king is already planning to send an envoy to Chang'an to ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to confer the title."

Li Chongyuan's face darkened, pretending to be sad, "My condolences to Prince Fang."

After the formalities, the welcome ceremony ends.

Fuyu Yici and Li Chongyuan introduced the affairs of Baekje.

Of course, this introduction is really not an introduction, but a complaint to Li Chongyuan.

For example, Baekje is poor, without this, without that, and even said that Baekje was bullied to death by Silla, how many people died, etc.

When Fuyu Yici introduced him to Baekje, one of his attendants also interrupted from time to time to add.

Li Chongyuan was puzzled by this, looked at the attendant, and asked curiously: "King Daifang, who is this?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce. Prince Li, this is my counselor, Su Wo Erben." Fuyu Yici introduced his entourage emphatically.

When Li Chongyuan heard Su Wo Erben's name, he immediately looked at that person.

So my second book?

Li Chongyuan didn't have this name in his mind.

However, Li Chongyuan knew that anyone with this name must be a Japanese.

A Japanese became the counselor of Baekje King Fuyu Yici, which made Li Chongyuan curious and puzzled.

but.

When Li Chongyuan thought about it, he knew the reason.

'It seems that after Silla recaptured Wa's stronghold in Silla, the relationship with Wa directly deteriorated, and Baekje and Silla became hostile again.The enemy of an enemy is a friend, so Baekje and the Wa country have become friends, it seems so.This Japanese country caught up with Baekje, and I don't know how many Japanese people there are in Baekje. '

'In the current Wa country, the largest clan is the Suwo clan.According to time calculations, the Emperor Shuming of the Wa Kingdom should have passed away in October this year, and Soga Eizo supported Empress Baohuang to ascend the throne, calling him Emperor Huangji. '

Li Chongyuan quickly filtered these things in his mind.

As for the second book of Su Wo in front of him, as soon as he heard his name, he knew that he was a member of the Su Wo clan.

It is very interesting that a member of the Soga family became the counselor of Baekje.
