The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1482 Strong Backing
Although Yang Fu's age is here, judging from Yang Fu's feelings for the Central Plains, Shen Haoqing felt that Yang Fu seemed to have been to the Central Plains, probably a long time ago.

Yang Fu nodded: "I have been to Yangzhou, but it's been so long that I can't remember clearly."

Yang Funeng is the leader of a faction on this island. First, he is capable. Second, when the Ryukyu Kingdom was not wiped out by the former Sui Dynasty decades ago, Yang Fu’s family was also a prominent family on this island. , Of course, only limited to this island.

Later, the Ryukyu Kingdom fell apart, and the Yang family gradually established forces on the island to protect themselves, and then gradually developed in Yang Fu's generation.

When Yang Fu went to Yangzhou with his family, in retrospect, he was only five or six years old at that time.

From the perspective of time, although the Central Plains was chaotic at that time, it was not too chaotic.

Yang Fu only had such an experience of setting foot on the land of the Central Plains once, so speaking of the Central Plains, the impression left in the mind of little Yang Fu was extremely deep.

Yangzhou is a prosperous place, with tall city walls, lively markets, row upon row of buildings, pedestrians coming and going on the street, and businessmen and dancers who don't look like people from the Central Plains. Different from the Central Plains people.

Yang Fu didn't know where they came from, he just felt that everything in the Central Plains was novel.

It is also true that the childhood trip to the Central Plains left a deep impression on Yang Fu's mind.

"It turns out that the general has been to Yangzhou before." Shen Haoqing said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that my current position is in Yangzhou. Although the general has never seen Yangzhou more than [-] years ago, I dare to say that now Yangzhou is definitely more prosperous than Yangzhou thirty years ago."

Although the current population of the Tang Dynasty is not as large as that of the former Sui Dynasty, cities like Yangzhou, Luoyang, and Chang'an still have relatively large populations, especially Chang'an and Luoyang.

Datang is now slowly recovering from the wounds of the war decades ago. The ministers in the court have now seen the advantages and disadvantages of Datang, focusing on restoring the population of Datang, and gradually began to slowly develop the south. His Majesty Li Er sent Chen Zheng to Quanzhou. This was a signal a year and a half ago. Now Xuan Shijing and Liu Renyuan are sent to the south, to Ryukyu Island. Although they came for this purpose under the banner of getting rich, But it might not mean that Xuan Shijing wanted to collect news from the south.

"Oh? Really? So how is the current Tang Dynasty compared to the previous Sui Dynasty?" Yang Fu asked.

Shen Haoqing most hoped that Yang Fu could ask this question. Although he didn't know what Yang Fu's idea was, Shen Haoqing still proudly explained the current strength of Datang.

"Today's Tang Dynasty is stronger than the previous Sui Dynasty. I dare not say it is stronger, but I can't say it is weaker. As early as the fourth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was regarded as a heavenly Khan by 29 surrounding countries." Shen Haoqing said.

"Heaven Khan." Yang Funa said, and then he reacted and looked at Shen Haoqing: "So, the army from the Central Plains came to this island to bring this island into the territory of the Tang Dynasty? "

"To be honest, that's exactly the case." Shen Haoqing said.

Perhaps Yang Fu is considered "well-informed" among the leaders of these five forces. He has seen the prosperity of the Central Plains with his own eyes, and now he knows from Shen Haoqing that the change of dynasty in the Central Plains not only failed to weaken the Central Plains, but The Central Plains has become more prosperous, an emperor who can make the monarchs of the 29 surrounding countries jointly regard him as the Heavenly Khan.
Now that the emperor is coming to take their island, can they beat such a dynasty in the Central Plains?
Sitting in his seat, Yang Fu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

I have to say that although Shen Haoqing is not as cunning and verbal as some diplomatic envoys, but the powerful Tang Dynasty is his solid backing, which gives him the confidence to speak, and he is not afraid of big words, and what he said It's all true, not bragging.

His Majesty Li Er was indeed recognized as the Heavenly Khan by 29 countries including Gaochang, Khotan, and Kang.

It's just that Gaochang Khotan was disobedient and was wiped out by Datang.

"General Yang, before the Ryukyu Island was also a subsidiary of the Central Plains Dynasty. It used to pay tribute to the former Sui Dynasty every year. Now that the Tang Dynasty wants this island, General Yang thinks how long the island can be defended with General Yang's current strength. What about it?" Shen Haoqing said: "It is precisely because of this consideration that Duke Xuan and General Liu sent people down to discuss with General Yang, and now the Tang Army navy officers and men are stationed on the island and have taken down the village in the west of Shanxi , as well as Wang Xiwei in the south, the forces of the two camps have now been incorporated into the forces of the Tang Dynasty. Even if General Yang joins forces with General Cheng, he will negotiate with Zhu Zhen in the north to jointly fight against the Tang army. Given the gap in weapons, and the gap between the strong power of the Central Plains Dynasty and the closed environment on this island, what chance does General Yang have of winning?"

Hearing Shen Haoqing's words, Yang Fu shook his head: "If Datang is really determined to take this island, no matter whether I join forces with brother Cheng or Zhu Zhen in the north, we cannot resist. "

"Since General Yang knows this, will General Yang still want to fight? Is he willing to sacrifice the lives of his soldiers for nothing?" Shen Haoqing asked.

Yang Fu shook his head. Although he saw Yang Fu's actions, Shen Haoqing still didn't know what Yang Fu's plan was.

On the contrary, Cheng Yong, who was sitting opposite Shen Haoqing, was a little anxious, and the anxiety in his gaze towards Yang Fu could not be concealed.

In Cheng Yong's view, no matter how you look at it, Yang Fu seems to have been shocked by Shen Haoqing's words before he started talking, or if he doesn't need to talk about it, Yang Fu will agree with Shen Haoqing's words and go to Datang directly.

This will not work.

Cheng Yong is younger than Yang Fu, and he is not as experienced as Yang Fu in the concept of the word "Central Plains". He doesn't know what the Central Plains is like, he only knows that his seniors in his family told him that this island There used to be a country, but it was broken up by the Central Plains Dynasty, and it has been paying tribute to ministers for the next few years.

In Cheng Yong's eyes, Shen Haoqing was an enemy, an enemy who destroyed their country and oppressed them.

In Yang Fu's eyes, a Tang Dynasty as powerful as the Central Plains is an insurmountable mountain.

How to play?If the Central Plains is determined to take down this island and send an army of [-], no matter in terms of armor and weapons or the quality of soldiers, the people on this island cannot compare with it.
