Song Gexing

Chapter 198 Dun is surprised

"Is Zihou being too eager? We don't know what is going on with Zhong and Zhe at all. After arriving in Japan, going ashore to fight is their infantry's business. We can't help much."

Zhang Junzhi was right. This time, the imperial court sent 1000 infantry troops to garrison Tamluo, of which only [-] were from the Forbidden Army. The rest were Fan and Xiang troops, as well as a small number of militiamen.

Moreover, both of the two generals were unknown. Although they were both from the Western Army generals, the Zhejia family and the Zhong family, they were young and had no meritorious service in the war.

Zhongshouweng is the cousin of Zhongyi. He is Zhonge's younger brother. He was just in his early twenties. Enyin gave him the official position of Qianhu.

Zhe Kexing, Zundao, was the nephew of Zhe Jizu. He was also in his early years and had the same status as Enyin Qianhu. He participated in the battle at the age of 16, but he was not a general and had no experience in commanding an army.

It was Emperor Zhao Fang's decision for the two of them to come together. It was originally against the rules, but after all, Tamluo Kingdom was a small country outside the country, and the ministers were not willing to argue with the emperor about this matter.

It seems that there are ten thousand troops, but the Forbidden Army only has a thousand people, which is why the ministers do not want to argue. The remaining Xiang Army and Fan Army are not elite in the eyes of the Song Dynasty ministers.

What everyone doesn't know is that Zhao Fang stuffed 500 Fujian Tengpai Army into this team, but it was in compliance with the rules, and the Tengpai Army was also not in the forbidden army order.

Although the combat effectiveness has been verified, the number of people is too small to form an army. At least a thousand people are needed to form a forbidden army camp, with the exception of cavalry.

Hearing his brother's words, Zhang Dun smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry. In his letter to me, His Majesty praised these two as generals. With a little training, they will become generals in the future."

"Your Majesty really said that?"

Zhang Junzhi naturally trusted Zhao Fang. His father praised the emperor to the heavens. At that time, the emperor was still a little kid.

Besides, he is still his son-in-law and his daughter is pregnant. He firmly supports any decision Zhao Fang makes.

It is said that the Zhang family is a wealthy family and generally would not send their daughters to the palace to be showgirls. Not because the old man was a die-hard supporter of Zhao Fang, so he sent his 14-year-old daughter to the palace regardless of his face.

Unexpectedly, it was his own daughter who was the first to become pregnant with a dragon. Regardless of gender, it did not prevent the Zhang family from being trusted more.

Now that he heard his brother's words, he gritted his teeth and asked, "How about we give it a try?"

Zhang Dun laughed loudly: "Don't worry, brother, the younger brother will personally supervise the army in this battle, and the elder brother will sit here, let's present another big gift to His Majesty."

Zhang Dun did offer a great gift. Zhong Yi and Zhe Kexing were young and full of vigor, so how could they withstand his temptation? The three of them hit it off immediately.

After integrating the navy of Tamna Kingdom, they set off with [-] infantry troops. In fact, they were very cautious when going to Japan for the first time and did not commit the entire army to make a desperate move.

Zhang Junzhi stayed behind in Tamluo, leaving behind [-] forbidden troops and most of the Xiang troops. The infantry forbidden troops who went out only went to two hundred households.The others are all Fan troops and a small number of Xiang troops plus militia.

Naturally, the Tamra Kingdom would not go to war with the Japanese Kingdom, but lending warships to the Song Army to transport troops also provided support and provided logistical supplies.

Zhang Dun was very smart and naturally would not force them to work in vain. He promised a number of benefits and used real money and silver to compensate the local people for the food and grass they provided.

Just a few days later, the warship arrived at Nagasaki, which is directly opposite Tamna. As long as there is good weather with smooth wind and water, the speed is extremely fast.

Nagasaki at this time was actually not under the governance of the Japanese country. The entire Kyushu Island was an undesirable countryside in the eyes of the Japanese nobles during the Heian period.

But the Japanese did set foot in Nagasaki very early, because the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty basically set sail from here.Of course, the Japanese country in the Heian period was very strange. In the eyes of the nobles, let alone Nagasaki and Kyushu, except for Heian Kyo, they considered all places to be the countryside.

The Heian nobles, who have long been sick to the core, not only have a strong masculine style, but also like to dress up and make up, and sing coquettishly. What's more, a weird culture is prevalent in both the government and the public.

Like Hyakki Yakou, Tamamo Mae, etc., almost all Japanese monsters were formed during the Heian period.

It is no joke that the noble masters hire onmyojis to exorcise ghosts every three or two days. In their view, the entire Japanese country is full of weird things. If they want to live a stable life, they must support onmyojis.

At the same time, the current emperor is the late Emperor Goreizumi, who has no power. The Fujiwara family is in charge of Guanbai and has complete control over the power.

His two queens are both daughters of other families, and even his biological mother is a daughter of the Fujiwara family. Anyway, he has no rights at all, he just needs to enjoy life obediently.

Zhang Dun and others were stunned when they got ashore and saw that this was the Japanese country. Do we still need to fight? It was completely a regular army waging war against the peasants.

Although Kyushu is the Hizen Kingdom consecrated by the emperor, it really doesn't have many troops, because the Japanese country has no outsiders except for dealing with the Ezo people and other natives.

The samurai class of this era were still migrant workers, or more vividly, contractors, leading a group of migrant workers to protect the estates for the nobles.

Zhang Dun, who originally wanted to test the power of the Japanese country by taking a stand, was helpless and occupied the entire Kyushu. He really didn't expect it to be so easy.

Little did he know that in the Japanese country at this time, the emperor had been entangled with the Fujiwara family of Fujiwara for many years, and there were almost no decent troops on the land outside Heian City.

Even Zhao Fang didn't know about this situation. No one wanted to know the history of the little devil. He only knew the general situation.

Zhao Fang knew about the Heian Era, which he learned from reading online articles in his previous life. He really knew more about the Japanese history, which was the Warring States Period.

The Japanese before this were all huddled on the island and did not dare to expand. Even Korea and the others could not defeat them.

Of course, the Heian period is known as the classical era of Japan, and it still has merits in literature and art. It was this era that formed the unique culture of Japan.

Before that, they completely imitated the Tang Dynasty. They had no culture of their own, not even the pillow-carrying clothes of later generations. They were completely the costumes of the Tang Dynasty.

Different clothes began to appear in the Heian period, but there were still no pillows. The clothes of the nobles in this era were twelve singles.

I don’t know what I was thinking, but all the clothes weighed more than ten pounds in the summer, and doubled in the winter. I didn’t know if I was tired from wearing them.

Zhang Dun was embarrassed to repay the favor, so he quickly sent people back to Tamluo to discuss with Zhang Junzhi. At the same time, he sent people to investigate everywhere, including at sea.

Although Zhang Dun was very bold, as a famous minister and a famous general, he would not be careless and worried that his return route would be cut off, so he sent many people to the sea.

A few days later, the spies brought back several people, who turned out to be from the Song Dynasty. Zhang Dun was overjoyed and became even more cordial after asking about them, because these people were all from Fujian.

Although Zhang Dun is from northern Fujian, these people are from southeastern Fujian, but they are abroad. I happily invited these people to drink and asked them about their experiences.
