Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 115
Fuyu Fengzhang didn't seem to feel the other party's indifference, he smiled and drank the wine in the glass, and greeted several other generals of the Monobe clan with a smile, and talked about interesting things about himself when he was in Japan. The atmosphere in the room gradually became active.Monobe Conservation took a look at his nephew, and decided to speak according to the plan in advance: "Your Majesty, I, Monobe, came across the sea, and I don't know the situation in your country. Please show me what to do next! "

"Hehe!" Fuyu Fengzhang laughed, but did not answer the question immediately, but asked instead: "After Monobe, how many people will come?"

"Your Majesty!" Monobe Shouheng said in a deep voice: "According to the arrangement, our Monobe clan is Ichiban, followed by Hebian clan, Shukun clan, Miwa clan, Jibei clan, Jushishenqian clan, and Ampere clan. Please rest assured that our country will spare no effort in helping your country resist the invasion of Tang and Silla!"

Fuyu Fengzhang had been a hostage in Japan for more than ten years, and when he heard the names mentioned by Monobe Shouheng, they were all famous and powerful clans. The stone hanging in the air finally fell to the ground.Since he returned to Baekje, he has been forced by the Tang and Silla people outside and threatened by strong ministers such as Onimuro Fukunobu inside. He is afraid that one day he will move his head, so he can only pin his hopes on Japanese reinforcements, but he He was also afraid that he would offend the Japanese by marrying Onimuro. This feeling cannot be explained to outsiders. It is not difficult to imagine how he would feel when he saw the reinforcements of the Monobe clan at this time.

"Good, good, good! Baekje will never forget your country's aid!" Fuyu Fengzhang said with a smile: "After expelling Tang and Silla, my Baekje will definitely repay your country!"

"Your Majesty!" finally said, "I won't go around in circles anymore. I, the Monobe clan, have come from a long way. The most important thing right now is to have a place to stand on. Please, Your Majesty, divide the land for us so that we can build a city!"

"This—" Fuyu Fengzhang showed a look of embarrassment: "I'm afraid it will take a while!"

"Wait?" Monobe Renxiong raised his head, the thick beard on his chin looked like an irritated porcupine: "You should have hunted before, right? If you want to catch wild boars, you must not be stingy with hunting dogs!"

"No, no! You misunderstood!" Fu Yu Fengzhang smiled a little awkwardly: "The Prime Minister of the State is not in Zhouliu City now, and I must discuss this matter with him!"

"Minister of the country?" Monobe Renxiong frowned. Before he came to Baekje, he had heard about the situation of the Fuguo Army, but although his appearance was rough, he was not the kind of fool who would be used as a gun. He smiled: "Alright, let's talk about it after the Prime Minister comes back!"

In the following time, the atmosphere at the wine table was quite awkward. Monobe Lianxiong didn't even bother to hide his disdain for Fuyu Fengzhang. He just lowered his head to eat and drink, and didn't talk to Fuyu Fengzhang at all. Got up and went out.As a result, Mobu Shouheng had to bow and apologize to Fuyu Fengzhang before going out to catch up with his nephew, and complained in a low voice: "Why are you doing this? Anyway, that person is also the king of Baekje, so he must live with his face." ? If the eldest brother, the prince, finds out, he will definitely be very upset!"

"Then make him unhappy!" Monobe Lianxiong snorted coldly: "Haven't you understood yet? Brother Zhong's estimation of the strength of the Tang people is ridiculously wrong. The original plan is probably just a daydream!"

"Then why did you just—"

"I was just probing!" Monobe Lianxiong sneered: "Brother Zhong thought he could take advantage of the weaknesses of the Tang people, Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo, and take advantage of the fishermen. But I am afraid that the Tang people will accidentally let the other people take advantage of it." Everyone swallowed it in one gulp!"

"Swallow them all in one gulp?" Monobe Conservation gasped, and said in a low voice, "Tang people have such a big appetite? Can't they?"

"The size of your appetite depends on your ability! Even if your appetite isn't that big, your appetite will grow as you become more capable!" Monobe Lianxiong said: "Brother Zhong's original idea was to take advantage of the chaos and grab one. It's good to get it , if you can’t grab and retreat to Chikushi (Japan’s ancient name for Kitakyushu Island), at least you won’t lose if you defend by the sea. But the problem is that you have also seen the power of the Chinese warships, so can you still defend it?”

Hearing this, the Conservation of the Ministry of Things also understood. As early as the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom sent envoys to the mainland to learn the advanced culture and system of the Sui Dynasty. The eldest brother and prince himself was a loyal admirer and imitator of the mainland culture. Naturally, he would not mistakenly think that the power of the Japanese country alone is enough to compete with the Tang Dynasty, but the long distance itself is the best defense. Not to mention the Wa country that is separated.

There is a saying in the art of war: if you feed food for thousands of miles, the soldiers will be hungry, and the firewood will be fired after the Soviet Union, and the division will not be full. But if the Tang Dynasty had a powerful fleet, it would be another matter. In addition to soldiers and weapons, it can also carry soldiers' [-]-day rations.Moreover, ships do not need to rest, and can sail day and night. As long as the wind direction is suitable, it is not surprising that they can travel hundreds of miles a day. It takes only one month to arrive at Kyushu Island in Japan from the Shandong Peninsula of Datang. Said to be super fast, the only thing Wa country can do is to fight back in the Guanmen Strait (the only entrance from the Sea of ​​Japan into the Seto Inland Sea, also called Maguan Strait) to prevent the Tang Army fleet from entering the Seto Inland Sea. If it is defeated in the Guanmen Strait, The Japanese opened their doors wide open, and there was no danger to guard.Judging by the strength of the warships of the Tang Dynasty not long ago, the plan of the eldest brother and the prince to help Baekje is likely to bring disaster to the country of Japan.

"Then, then what should we do?" Monobe Shouheng panicked: "Report this matter to the eldest brother, the prince, and withdraw troops from Baekje as soon as possible, and apologize to the people of Tang, there should be still time!"

"Uncle, do you think Brother Zhong will believe what we say?" Monobe Renxiong's mouth was slightly upturned, showing a mocking smile: "Besides, there is no turning back when you open the bow. , Down to the rich families of all countries, they all send people and food, if you just retreat back with nothing, do you think the eldest brother and the prince can still hold that position?"

Monobe Conservation nodded. Although the country of Wa at that time had been away from the "Daika Reform" for more than ten years, the major wealthy families had a large number of tribesmen and land. They established a law-based country and strengthened the centralization of the emperor's family. Secretly dissatisfied, various conspiracies broke out in the court.The eldest brother and prince sent troops to the Korean peninsula with the intention of exporting internal conflicts and consuming the power of the opposition aristocracy, but also building great achievements and suppressing the voice of the opposition.But if they just return in vain, then the accumulated contradictions will explode together, and the eldest brother and prince will be blown to pieces.
