Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1321

Luo Cheng took a sip of the lamb wine and said with a smile, "It's been in a hurry for a few days."

"It's interesting to say that this Queen Wa actually made a request, saying that she is willing to let their ruling minister Su Womazi stay in the Great Qin Dynasty to serve the saint."

"Is that the queen's uncle? Are all four daughters married to be imperial concubines?"

Wei Zheng nodded, and he said, "That Su Womazi is a powerful minister of the Wa Kingdom, and supported several Wa Kings, who are powerful in the Wa Kingdom. Although this Wa King is Su Womazi's niece, it is obvious that he wants to get rid of him. You want to borrow Daqin's sword to kill people."

How can Daqin's sword be so easy to borrow?

The emperor said calmly, "I remember that Su Wo Mazi also picked a daughter who is said to be beautiful and beautiful this time, and asked Queen Wa to confer the title of princess, saying that she wanted to dedicate it to me?"

"Well, let Queen Wa adopt her as a foster daughter and change her name to Duji. It is said that she is really good looking. However, my Daqin has no shortage of women, no matter how beautiful the country is, and saints don't like beauty."

The wine made with fat and tender lamb gravy and steamed glutinous rice has a unique taste, fat but not greasy, and the wine is not strong, it's like drinking a soup.

Luo Cheng brought over a piece of beef jerky. The five-flavored beef jerky was exposed to the wind and sun on the grassland, and its appearance was as hard as iron, with firm lines.Tear it hard, and you can still hear Slara's voice.

Throw the other half torn off to Wei Zheng.

"Thank you saint."

"Huh, skin." Luo Cheng's relationship with the old Taoist is incomparable to other butchers. He continued to tear off the next one and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it slowly, it was very chewy, and the more he chewed, the more delicious it became. "They are too naive to want to get away from the Besse Copper Mine. I guess, the Japanese Queen must also know that this is just her temptation."

Wei Zheng also chewed the beef jerky, his veteran teeth were not bad, and he chewed vigorously, "What is the sage's plan for the Wa Kingdom? Are you really going to let armed merchant ships keep looting like this?"

Regarding the Wa country, there are also many disputes in the court. Some people think that it should be directly attacked, and the Wa country should be directly destroyed just like Baekje.Some people also believe that Baekje is still a peninsula extending from Liaodong after all. It is easier for the imperial court to destroy Goguryeo’s remaining prestige, and then destroy Baekje, and destroying Baekje is very helpful for the imperial court to firmly conquer the old land of Goguryeo and control Silla.But the Wa country is different. The Wa country is very poor and consists of islands of all sizes, and the Wa people are relatively hard-headed. It is estimated that it will not be easy to conquer like Baekje.

Now that Baekje has not settled down, there is no time to fight the Wa country. Even if a stable rule has been established on the old land of Baekje, the next target should be Silla on the peninsula.

Luo Cheng chewed the beef jerky and explained, "The previous permission to the maritime merchants to plunder the Japanese country with arms was also to teach the Japanese a lesson, put pressure on them, and at the same time restrain them so that they could no longer send troops to interfere with Baekje. Now it seems that , The effect is very good, the Japanese people are loud on the surface, but now, they can't even beat our Daqin sea merchants."

Of course, the maritime merchants did not really directly attack the Wa country, but adopted the tactics of harassment and looting, landing on the coast everywhere, attacking the east and west, and leaving after robbing the country, which made the Wa country very helpless.

"The King of Wa really wants to change the current situation, and is willing to make compromises. I am also very happy. However, one Besko Tongshan is definitely not enough. I will destroy the Wa Kingdom sooner or later, but it is not possible to make a big move for the time being. Go south."

"That is to continue to harass with maritime merchants and weaken the enemy?"

"not enough."

The emperor shook his head.

Luo Cheng smiled and said, since the Japanese want to make peace, they should first pretend to agree with him, and take the opportunity to hit him openly.

"You can talk to the Japanese first, and ask a few requests first. First, the country of Wa will be changed to one of our Great Qin Dao, Dongying Dao, with Zhuzi County, Yiyo County, Dongying County and Guandong County under it. I can grant The Udabe is the Duke of Dongying, the Jiedu Envoy of Dongying Dao, the general who conquers Yi and the prefect of Dongying, and the Utabe can retain the title of King of Japan."

"Secondly, Dongying Dao will implement the legal system of the Great Qin in the future, implement the land equalization order, the two-tax system, and the military system. It is a feudal town in the Great Qin Dynasty, with a status like Jiangdong Dao. The imperial court can send officials to serve as inspectors, county officials, etc. job."

"Thirdly, all the islands outside Chikushi need to be directly managed by the imperial court, including Tsushima, Iki, Goto, Hirado, Amakusa Islands and Nagasaki Peninsula."

"Fourth, I want the mining rights of Yiyu's Bieshan Tongshan and Dongying's Shijianyinshan."

Wei Zheng was a little surprised. The emperor only wanted to focus on the small islands outside Chikushi Island, plus two mines?
"The request is not high, is it? I don't think it is too high. This is more considerate than directly asking the Japanese to cede large islands like Chikushi and Iyo."

said the emperor.

"Saint, isn't it too high to give the status of the feudal town of Wa Kingdom?"

"Let's do it step by step. As long as the Wa Kingdom agrees to be my Great Qin's vassal town, then we can do a lot of things. First soften their confrontation, and then we can build military ports and station troops in Tsushima, Hirado, Nagasaki and other places. , to establish a trading port, which will be the advance base for attacking the Wa country when the time is right in the future."

"Furthermore, those two mines are not rumors or rumors, they are real rich mines. There is only one Iwami Silver Mine, and the latest soot blowing method of the Royal Ministry of Internal Affairs is used to mine silver and smelt silver, and you can get millions of silver a year. Two, the situation at Besshi Copper Mine is similar. When these two mines are harvested, the silver and copper can be counted softly."

"Oh, I understand. Dealing with the Wa Kingdom is the same as dealing with Shen Faxing. Let him surrender as a vassal first, then spread the net in all directions, deploy from all sides, and then start from the outer islands, and finally wait for the time to ripen before destroying him in one fell swoop."

"That's right, so as long as the Japanese are willing to agree, we can let him go now, completely ban the maritime merchants and then rob the Japanese. Let's change the plundering into trade and do business with the Japanese. As long as the Japanese let go of trade, they will definitely not be able to do it." We will be in a complete deficit by then, and all their gold and silver will flow into our Great Qin, and their strength will become weaker by then."

This is really killing people without blood, a big country method.

A small island country really can't fight against a big country, especially now that Daqin is not only a big country across the sea, he has also reached the doorstep of Wa country, which is on the other side of the strait in Baekje, and Wa country's trading merchant ships are always ready If you can come, the more you come into contact with, the more blood will be sucked by the invisible, and eventually the blood will dry up and die.

"Wozheng, explain my conditions to Queen Wa and Mazi Su Wo separately, and by the way, tell Mazi Wa that Queen Wa wants to keep his uncle in the Central Plains to enjoy the blessings."

"The saint is trying to drive them apart."

"But what I said is the truth."

Wei Zheng hehe, "What does the saint expect to happen?"

"It doesn't matter what happens. If the Japanese king strikes first, then I will still grant her those official titles, but if Su Wo strikes first, I will give him the title of General Zhengyi. He can also go back and set up a puppet Japanese king , accept the canonization of my Dongying County Duke and Dongying Jiedu Envoy."

This method is really high. If the emperor's conditions are only for the king to choose, there may be bargaining, but now the emperor is asking both sides, then the king of Japan and the Su'er family will be in an endless situation. In order to get Daqin's support, then No conditions can be accepted.

"The minister will first congratulate the saint here, and add another four counties to Daqin, and expand the territory!"
