Li Shimin

Chapter 208 Destroy the Ship!

"Well, I didn't expect to catch so many Japanese people in one go!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly.

"Follow the king's order!"

Seeing that Li Chengqian and others on the side had no intention of objecting, Shi Chen replied with a face of joy.

If it wasn't for Li Xuan's order earlier, they would have slaughtered those Japanese people as early as at sea.

After dinner, when the dusk was gloomy, Li Xuan called Lou Zhou, Shi Chen and others over again.

"I don't know what else the king has to do?"

"Please, everyone, go out of the city with me!"

Li Xuan said.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, although Lou Zhou, Shi Chen and the others were full of doubts, they did not dare to object.

After leaving the gate, Ma Xi, the Dianjun, was already waiting outside with a group of royal guards in shining armor.

Seeing this, Lou Zhou, Shi Chen and others couldn't help shrinking their eyes.

"This is the king?"

"This king is a little curious, what's on the Japanese ship!"

Li Xuan said coldly.

Immediately, he took the lead in walking forward.

Ma Xi and other royal guards quickly followed.

Behind them, Lou Zhou and Shi Chen sighed softly and hurriedly followed.

This time, the flow of people on the street has become much thinner.

When Li Xuan and others left the city gate, there was no one outside.

In Dengzhou port, those Japanese people are still actively rushing to repair the dozen or so big holes on their ship.

After they reacted, a group of personal guards had already surrounded these Japanese people, and the surroundings were lit with torches. They had nowhere to escape. Looking at Li Xuan and others, they couldn't help but be full of horror.

"I don't know if the nobleman of the Tang Dynasty is here again, but what else is there?"

"Who are you?"

"The villain is the target language person Xiaoxi Mizi..."

However, before this person finished speaking, Li Xuan gave the order directly.

"The name of the dead is not important, let me kill it!"

When the words fell, Ma Xi and the guards, who had already been prepared, started to fight directly.

After the two hundred crossbowmen scattered, more than half of the Japanese sailors on the ship were dead, and three hundred soldiers holding horizontal knives followed closely behind and rushed directly onto the big ship.

The remaining dozens of Japanese were cut down to the ground before they could resist.

As for the Japanese diving into the water, they were already watched by crossbowmen, and at the moment they entered the water, at least five or six crossbow arrows shot towards them.

Seeing this bloody scene for the first time, Li Xuan didn't feel any discomfort.

Only Li Chengqian, Changsun Chong, and Li Baoding turned slightly pale.

"My lord, this?"

Dengzhou Biejia Lou Zhou Zhou was surprised.

"The japanese hozen, the emperor ordered them to go. If they didn't go, they wanted to covet the glass shed secretly. If it weren't for the fear of those japanese people in the city, I would have killed them a long time ago! Why, Lou Biejia will replace these people Call for injustice?"

Li Xuan glanced at Lou Zhou lightly, then walked to the boat.

Lou Zhou's body trembled slightly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he quickly bent down and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I have absolutely no intention of sympathizing with these Japanese people!"

In just a short moment, dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"My lord, look!"

Before Li Xuan could go up, several personal guards walked over carrying two large wooden boxes.

"What is this?"

Li Xuan stepped forward quickly, just as he finished speaking.

The princes had already opened the wooden box, and it was full of books.

"This……"

Lou Zhou and Shi Chen, who came up from behind, also couldn't help being surprised.

"Your Majesty, is this?"

"Isn't this the king who asked Lou Biejia?"

Li Xuan's face was gloomy, he glanced at Lou Zhou, and said: "I remember, the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty both issued edicts, strictly forbidding these Japanese to take away any classics of the Tang Dynasty, why are there so many classics on their ship? "

""Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Zhouyi", "Qi Min Yao Shu", "Bo Le Xiang Ma Jing", "Horse Therapy"..."

"Tsk tsk, these are all important classics of my Tang Dynasty. How can Lou Biejia explain that they can appear on the Japanese ship in such a complete way?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, these subordinate officials really don't know, please also ask Your Majesty to learn from them!"

Lou Zhou was terrified, and hurriedly bowed his hands in salute.

"This king is a clear lesson, but whether His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor will be so clear, I don't know! So many classics can appear on the Japanese ship. If there is no support behind it, I wonder if Lou Biejia himself will believe it? "

Li Xuan sneered, and ordered: "Bring these boxes back to the city!"

"Yes!"

All the guards hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

"My lord, I also found a box of ironware and table salt!"

At this time, there were a few more personal guards, carrying two wooden boxes, and placed them in front of Li Xuan.

After opening, a wooden box was filled with ironware, kitchen knives, shovels, and even some horizontal knives.

In the other wooden box, there is half a box of table salt, which is off-white, and it already belongs to the top-grade table salt in various states and counties of Datang.

"I don't know how Lou Biejia can explain these objects?"

Li Xuan glanced indifferently at the sweaty Lou Zhou, and then looked around on the boat.

However, these Japanese people are really poor. Except for those few boxes, they only found forty guan coins on the whole boat, and some dried fish, nothing else.

"Lieutenant Shi Du, I wonder if the Dengzhou Navy can use these two ships?"

After getting off the boat, Li Xuan, who was about to burn the boat, thought of something, and turned to look at Dengzhou Guoyi Captain Shi Chen beside him.

"My lord, these two big ships are made of high-quality wood, and they can still be used if they are patched up, or if the planks are removed, my Dengzhou navy can also use them!"

Shi Chen said quickly.

"If that's the case, then I'll leave these two big boats to you, and you all need to help deal with these Japanese corpses!" Li Xuan nodded slightly, turned around, and walked into the city.

"Thank you king!"

Shi Chen's face was full of joy, he thanked Li Xuan, and quickly ran towards the Dengzhou navy barracks.

……

After returning to the city, Li Xuan asked Lou Zhou to find four large wooden boxes, and replaced the classics and ironware table salt from the Japanese ship into new wooden boxes.

Immediately, he drove away Lou Zhou who was still about to intercede.

All night, Lou Zhou was full of restlessness and couldn't sleep well.

And the next day, after breakfast, Li Xuan took Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others, as well as a group of soldiers, to escort the more than 100 Japanese envoys to Chang'an.

At the gate of Dengzhou City, Lou Zhou, Shi Chen and other officials greeted each other with smiles.

Watching Li Xuan and the others go away, Lou Zhou asked Shi Chen: "Captain Shi, I wonder if the guards beside King Jin and His Royal Highness are His Majesty's Xuanjia Army?"

"If you go back to Lou, don't drive, these soldiers and generals have never seen it before!"

"Then what are the green clothes in their hands? Why have I never seen it before?"

"The end general doesn't know!"

Thinking of something, Shi Chen expressed emotion and envy, "However, it seems that green clothes are definitely treasures. Because of those green clothes, those soldiers held weapons for so long in both hands, and they were not cold at all. Moreover, those crossbows When the hands are shooting arrows, they are all hitting the target with every shot!

Even the bright armors and horizontal knives on those soldiers were carefully crafted by craftsmen, which made the general envious! "

"Ugh!"

After hearing this, Lou Zhou couldn't help but sighed deeply.

Immediately, he couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "Those damned Japanese hozen, it's not good to offend anyone. They insist on offending the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness King Jin, and secretly hide so many classics and iron objects on board. I know with those censors that all the hard work of this official and my colleagues in Dengzhou for so many years will be in vain!"

"I will definitely know about this!"

Shi Chen smiled wryly.

"Well, why did Captain Shi say that?" Lou Zhou asked hastily.

"Those young gentlemen standing with His Royal Highness also have a lot of background, Lou Biejia may not know it!"

Shi Chen said slowly: "Li Chongyi, the eldest son of Prince Hejian, Cheng Chusi, the eldest son of Duke Su, Sun Chong, the eldest son of Duke Qi, Fang Yizhi, the eldest son of Duke Wei..."

"This?"

Suddenly, Lou Zhou couldn't help being shocked.

Among them, there is even the eldest son of the official and military ministers of the current dynasty.

Immediately, his face was full of annoyance.

"Lou Biejia wants to restore his impression in front of His Majesty and all the ministers, so hurry up and make up for it!" Shi Chen said.

"I also ask Lieutenant Shi Du and his colleagues to assist me in arresting those thieves in the city who dared to cheat on the Japanese people as soon as possible!"

Lou Zhou turned around, bowed his hands slightly to the Dengzhou officials, and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty would like to obey Biejia's orders!"

A group of officials hurriedly cupped their hands in response.

All the officials know that in this matter, both prosperity and loss will lead to loss.

Only when Biejia Lou Zhou was successfully promoted to the governor of Dengzhou, could there be vacancies for them.

Therefore, when it comes to their own careers, everyone is very active.
