Datang first village

The battle against the floods has come to an end everywhere. .

Li Yuanxing stayed in Huating and did not return to Chang'an, but sent some things back.

In the two quarters, there are twenty Red Blood Guards and six Habayashi Zhengjun.Wu Bin, the number one master of Qin Palace, personally escorted the carriage into Chang'an.No one knows what was in the two carriages.

When the train entered Chang'an North Station, all passengers were asked not to leave the carriage for the time being, and the passengers were not allowed to get off the train until the imperial palace guards, that is, the second guard of the Habayashi Army, took away the items on the two carriages.

Datang trains are still under military control.

Even if it is not under military control, the people of Datang, regardless of whether they are rich or not, are very well-behaved.

The big boxes were pulled into the palace and piled up in the main hall.

At the request of King Qin Li Yuanxing, celebrities from Chang'an, famous writers from various newspapers, chief officials from various ministries, and old elders from Chang'an were all invited here.

There is a seal of Qin Wangfu on the box.

After Li Er personally tore off the seal of one box, all the boxes were opened at the same time.

Plaque, 23 pieces.Hundreds of books for all peoples!

Looking at these things, Li Er smiled and laughed out loud.Only Li Er knew that this was Li Yuanxing's reaction. Regarding the counterattack that demanded the return of wounded soldiers three years ago, Li Yuanxing was telling the world's gentry that there was nothing wrong with the rank and file of the common people, the peasants, the businessmen, and the soldiers, but the soldiers were listed separately.

Wang Jishan shook his head with a wry smile, and cupped his hands to Li Er without saying anything.

"My lord, those who died for the Great Tang should enjoy the glory!" A celebrity came out and said.

"Put these on display in front of the main gate of the palace for ten days." Li Er ordered.Then he walked to a plaque held up by the little eunuch, thought for a moment and then said: "Describe a meritorious service to the Dandong Navy, and order rewards for meritorious service."

Li Er is the emperor, he will not reward any individual easily.

Even if it is clearly written on the plaque, who is he thanking, he will not single out one person to reward.Because he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the highest ruler of the Tang Dynasty, easy rewards make this kind of reward lose its nobility.

Li Yuanxing can lift a person up, but he can't, and he can't.

Is Li Yuanxing really that childish?Fighting for the honor and humiliation three years ago?

Actually not.Li Yuanxing just wanted to let the celebrities and nobles in Chang'an know.There is only an army that loves the people.Only then can Datang be protected desperately.Only by respecting the sergeants and the common people will the army be more powerful and have what they want to protect and desperately want to protect.

These words.Li Yuanxing won't talk about it.There's no point in explaining this.

Flipping through the information in hand.Li Yuanxing rang the bell beside him.

"Your Highness!" Qiuxiang walked in from the outer room after hearing the bell.

"Order, all the troops participating in the disaster relief should not return to the station. All camped in the area to the west of Suzhou that was washed away by the flood. All the excess relief supplies began to be cleaned up and stored separately. All airships were ordered to return to Yaozhou for maintenance in two months. , ordering all large ships over [-] tons to be stationed in Hong Kong off the coast of Huating after three months."

"Yes!" Qiuxiang replied, then went out to write down the order and came in again for Li Yuanxing to use the seal.Only then will the printed orders be officially sent out.

The army was a little surprised, and if they were not allowed to leave, could there be any tasks that could not be accomplished.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Yuanxing received representatives of the Japanese slave laborers.

"The food distributed to you was robbed by the nobles of the Yamato Kingdom. There is no way to prove this matter to you in a short time. But there is no need for this king to lie to you. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. This king asked you to come here, just say One thing. You worked for this king and Datang, and earned some food, which will be distributed to you. This king and Datang will not owe you a grain of rice!"

Believe it or not?

After the translator explained in Japanese, several leaders wanted to look at each other, but no one dared to speak.

The person sitting above is much more powerful than the emperor of Yamato, and no one knows whether he will die if he says a wrong sentence.

"All of you are allowed to discuss and ask questions!" Li Yuanxing said again.

According to the translation, several Japanese people bowed their heads and discussed with each other.The Japanese believe that there is no need for the superiors to lie to them about such things. There was news that the food in their home was robbed.But it is very far from Wa Island, and he has no way to go back, and he has no way to prove anything?

After the discussion, one of them boldly said: "His Majesty King Qin..."

The Japanese used His Majesty.

The translator hesitated. He thought about the difference between several honorific titles in the Japanese language. It seemed that this was the most noble title for the Emperor of Wajima. He didn't dare to translate directly, but whispered to Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, They used a very noble honorific title, which is probably disrespectful."

"Let's do this first, let's not mention these trivial matters for now. You choose a more noble one from the Japanese language."

Li Yuanxing's words were orders, and he just had to choose a more noble one to use on Li Er.

After listening to the words of the Japanese, the interpreter said to Li Yuanxing again: "Your Highness, they said they believed it. But even if they were robbed, they would have nothing to do. If the Tang Dynasty can show mercy to them, they can also work if they bring their families to the Tang Dynasty. , You can also earn a share of food."

"The king has never owed anyone. Whoever works for Datang receives wages. As long as it is the number mentioned in advance, there will be more, not less. You work for Datang, you are workers of Datang. Those who rob you are robbing this king. This is not giving this king face, so this king decided to grab the food back."

Take it back?

Is Datang ready to fight Yamato?

These Japanese people were originally the lowest-level people of Wa Island, they just got some benefits here, and they were biased towards Datang in their hearts.

Li Yuanxing said again: "Go back and ask how many people are willing to take back the food. If more than half of the people are willing to take back the food, this king will give you this justice. If even you are too weak to resist, your wages will be paid by this king It will still be sent as it is, and whether Yamato will grab it or not has nothing to do with this king!"

The Japanese understood.

That is to say, food will still be transported to Wajima every month, and the food will be distributed, and then it will be robbed by Yamato.

No one can be angry about this matter, and before there is a door, the leader of the Japanese turned his head: "We want to get it back." Li Yuanxing shook his head: "This is just the thoughts of a few of you, and it cannot represent everyone. Wagongs. So listen to what the rest of the Wagongs think.”

Several scrolls were sent to these Japanese people.

On it was a petition written in Chinese, asking the Tang and Qin Palace to take the lead and let the nobles of the Yamato Kingdom return their own food.

Then the bottom was printed into squares one by one, and then enough ink pads were distributed, and whoever agreed would leave a handprint.

Several Japanese people went out, and Li Yuanxing put his chin in one hand: "Pei Xi. Go and tell Wang Ba to continue transporting food to Wa Island. Just say that the food is for those Japanese people. If they let them, they will distribute it as usual. If If they are not allowed to send it, we will find a way to let them receive it, but there must be a receipt."

"Your Highness, isn't this giving them food for nothing?"

"A mere tens of thousands of shimi." Li Yuanxing glanced at Pei Xi with a smile.

Pei Xi nodded quickly: "The last general will send a telegram right away. Let General Wang Ba prepare."

Not long after Pei Xi left, the cabinet master came in.

"Yuan Xing, what a poisonous plan you have." The cabinet master laughed loudly: "Some food, let the Japanese ruin their country. I don't know if they will regret it in the future."

"Snatching the people's food will lose the hearts of the people, not to mention that there are more than 20 Japanese laborers here. From the inner sea circle, to the west of the Japanese Kyoto, 20 Japanese laborers, behind them are more than 100 million families. , plus the neighbors, and the lords who benefited from this matter, three months will kill them."

"Three months, these sergeants just had a good repair, three months later the rice of the new season in Nanyang will be ripe. The summer harvest of Tang Dynasty has also been put into storage. It's time to send troops."

Li Yuanxing asked the cabinet master to sit down: "Then grandpa will be the coach!"

"No!" The cabinet master waved his hand: "Grandpa is just a visitor, but this time, how do you plan to fight. Do you want the Japanese to fight themselves, or raid the Japanese capital?"

"Neither of them." Li Yuanxing first denied the cabinet master's words, and then asked his personal guards to guard the door, and then continued: "Grandpa, I have nearly twenty flying boats. These are lined up in the sky. I don't know if there is enough power. Six warships of [-] tons, [-] ships of [-] tons, [-] ships of [-] tons, and [-] ships of [-] tons. Intimidation?"

The cabinet master nodded, then shook his head again: "It's not enough to patrol, didn't the Japanese set up a catapult on the coast?"

"En!" Li Yuanxing knew about this.

"Use cannon fire to sweep all the fortifications that are not good for Datang, and then inspect them. And tell the people of the entire Wa Island that Datang is just helping the Japanese workers who work for Datang to seek justice, and ask Yamato Go back and grab the food from the Japanese, otherwise..."

The cabinet master thought for a while and felt wrong: "There is nothing else."

"That's right, he started the war if he didn't pay back, so it doesn't make much sense to scare people, just start the fight."

"Send a telegram to that boy Wang Ba, asking him to drive the fleet directly into the inland sea, and use a loudspeaker to shout, this is to distribute food to the Japanese workers, whoever dares to open fire will be equal to the declaration of war by the Tang Dynasty. If you are in danger, allow him Open fire. Lend him the 36-ton, [-]-gun battleship."

The cabinet master came up with another idea.

borrow?Li Yuanxing wondered if he could repay the loan?These generals are more eager to see a boat than a woman, and if they borrow it, they will definitely find countless reasons and refuse to return it.

But there are not enough seamen at the moment, and it is impossible to pick out suitable people for another crew. . )
