Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 380 Animal Behavior
What Chen Qingsi wants to do this time is to break the backbone of Japan's self-esteem.

This is also the case in history. Their envoys were cheating on both sides, showing the respect of the Japanese state to the Tang Dynasty, and showing to the Japanese state that the Tang Dynasty recognized them.

It satisfies the dignity of the monarchs of both sides...

Chen Qingsi feels sick every time she reads this. A small country must behave like a small country. A backward country that has not yet completely transformed into a feudal society and a semi-slavery system wants to learn from the advanced institutional culture of a big country.

Licking his face means that his status is the same as that of the Central Plains, and he is on an equal footing with the Central Plains dynasty. He is really ignorant of his face.

Lu Zhaolin didn't know about the dirty things, so he felt that Chen Qingsi, as a dignified governor, made things difficult for the envoys from the country, and it was unworthy of the country's demeanor.

Lu Zhaolin was a traditional Confucian scholar with a very high moral level.

Chen Qingsi saw that secretary Lu Zhaolin seemed to be hesitant to speak, so she thought she didn't agree with her approach.

With the fall of Buyeophong, the 40,000 Japanese army turned the Baek River red, and all the clowns in Baekje fell silent.

Chen Qingsi's methods were ruthless. Originally, some people still thought about Fu Yufeng's rebels and still had some hope. Now the rebels asked him to clean them up, and no one would dare to act like a monster in the short term.

Chen Qingsi's decree was implemented very well, and it was time for him to be free.

When I had nothing to do, I also went to Lu Zhaolin to popularize the key points of science, and recounted the disgusting operations of the Japanese country.

Lu Zhaolin was furious after hearing this, "A country of barbarians dares to claim to be the emperor and be compared with me, the Chinese?"

Lu Zhaolin learned that everything in the world is the king's land, and on the shore of the land, it is the king's ministers.

A small barbarian country can't even show basic respect to the great China, so how can we not teach them a lesson?

Lu Zhaolin's attitude changed drastically: "Just letting him face it, wouldn't it be a bit gentle? They are so arrogant, they have to apologize to His Majesty in person."

Seeing Lu Zhaolin's attitude, Chen Qingsi nodded with satisfaction and was also very interested in his proposal. He said: "This is a good suggestion. Your Majesty has the intention to become a Zen monk. When the date is determined, he will ask the king of Japan to accompany us. , let him see the majesty of Mount Tai at the foot of the mountain."

Lu Zhaolin was a little shocked and said hurriedly: "This subordinate is just saying it, it cannot be taken seriously."

Chen Qingsi said: "But I take it seriously."

He has been authorized by Li Zhi, and it is up to him to decide on the affairs of Japan on his own. The condition is that he must capture Dongyu Yinshan.

The so-called Dongyu Yinshan is Shijian Yinshan, and Li Zhi even thought of the name of Yinshan.

It was precisely because of Li Zhi's attitude that Chen Qingsi had the confidence to rectify the Japanese country.

Continuing to chat with Lu Zhaolin, he learned that Li Hongqing actually had a conflict with Namba Eri.

Chen Qingsi strode out of the Governor's Mansion and saw Li Hongqing arguing with Namba Eri who was kneeling on the ground with red eyes.

Namba Megumi's entourage tried to push Li Hongqing away, but Li Hongqing raised his foot and kicked the man to bits.

"what happened?"

Chen Qingsi strode forward.

Since Chen Qingsi was attacked, Zhou Kui and Cheng Boxian's protection of Chen Qingsi has been upgraded to several levels. Whenever he goes out, he must be protected by personal guards.

Cheng Boxian recognized Li Hongqing, and before Namba Eri's entourage could make the next move, they stepped forward and drew their sabers, forcing Namba Eri's entourage to stand aside in a dignified manner.

When Li Hongqing saw Chen Qingsi's arrival, he pursed his lips tightly and said with a trace of hatred in his eyes: "These beasts from the Japanese country, they plundered Danluo Island."

It turns out that Abe Hirafu of the Japanese Kingdom did not send out all his troops at that time, but left 500 people on Danluo Island.

Abehirov had two purposes. First, he was worried that the news would leak out, and he was afraid that the people on Danluo Island would take advantage of their departure to inform the Tang army first. Second, Abe Hirafu fell in love with Danluo Island and intended to dedicate the island to the prince, Nakadai, and include it in the territory of Japan.

Leaving 500 people behind can not only guarantee the situation in case of emergencies, but also enable cooperation inside and outside when taking action to seize the island.

As a result, Abebirov's entire army was wiped out, and no soldier was spared. He was either killed or captured, and those who managed to escape were unable to return to Danluo Island.

For months, there was no news.

Danluo Island returned to deathly silence as before.

The islanders on the island have long been accustomed to it. They don’t have the ability to go out. In many cases, they don’t see anyone for two or three years.

But where can the Japanese soldiers on the island sit?
They sent people to Baekje to inquire about the news, and learned that the Tang army had invaded the Japanese island and killed them to a rout.

The Japanese soldiers returned to Danluo Island, and the remaining five hundred soldiers were horrified and wanted to go home.

But the general who stayed behind was unwilling to leave like this.

The Japanese state had very few regular troops, most of which were peasant soldiers.

Peasants and soldiers only fight for plunder, and the spoils they grab belong to themselves.

The Japanese general raised his head and immediately received the support of the remaining five hundred Japanese soldiers.

They were unwilling to flee home like bereaved dogs, so they took advantage of the ignorant Danluo islanders to be defenseless against them, and rushed into their villages and into their palaces.

Burning, killing, raping and looting were all evil deeds.

The body floated to Buyeo Island, and Zhang Bao, who was a filial piety for the hornet, got the news and sent someone to Danluo Island to investigate the situation.

I saw that the whole island was in a mess, including the old, weak, women and children, as well as the able-bodied men of the country, with more than 5,000 casualties. The king of Danluo, Zuoping Tudongyinlu, also died under random swords...

Li Hongqing cursed loudly: "These beasts have a population of less than 10,000 in Danluo country, and they killed almost half of them."

Namba Megumi wanted to stand up and explain, but she knelt for too long and couldn't get up, so she fell to the ground.

With the help of his entourage, he stood up and explained: "Grand Governor, this has nothing to do with us. It must have been pirates who attacked them. We, the Japanese country, are often bullied by pirates."

Chen Qingsi did not answer his words, but just said: "Do you understand the reason?"

Namba Eri's face froze, why? How could he not know?

After staying in the Central Plains for many years, I have a deep understanding of the Central Plains tribute system. It's just that their Japanese emperor was unwilling to become a subordinate of the Central Plains and wanted to be treated on an equal footing with the Central Plains.

But the actual situation is that as long as they dare to show that the two countries are equal, no one will pay attention to them, whether it is the former Sui Dynasty or the current Tang Dynasty.

In order to complete the task, they used Chunqiu Brushwork to deceive both sides.

Chen Qingsi asked him to kneel to the west, and he understood the reason.

It's just that he is betting that Chen Qingsi doesn't dare to do anything to him.

As long as you get to the capital of Chang'an, you can just repeat the old trick.

So... faced with Chen Qingsi's question, Namba Meiri endured the grievance and said: "I don't know the reason."

"I don't know..." Chen Qing shouted: "Who allowed you to stand up? Keep kneeling..."

Namba Eri's expression changed, but thinking about what was happening to Japan, she gritted her teeth and continued to kneel.

Chen Qingsi looked at Li Hongqing and said, "Do you know where those beasts are now? Are they still on Danluo Island?"

Li Hongqing shook his head and said: "They have gone to sea and are missing. Uncle Bao couldn't find any trace of them, so he sent someone to inform me. It's all because of us..."

In fact, the relationship between Buyeo Island and Danluo Island is not good.

When the Qiuji first settled in Buyeo Island, they aroused the vigilance of Danluo Island.

The Qiujike group brought advanced farming knowledge to Buyeo Island and led the indigenous people on the island to improve their lives.

The king of Danluo, Zuoping Tudongyinlu, was afraid that Qiu Huke and his party would affect his status, so there was a certain conflict.

In the end, the matter was settled, but there was very little contact between the two parties.

However, the Japanese were attracted to the country because they sought medical treatment for the Qiuji visitors.

Li Hongqing was zealous and righteous, so he naturally took the blame on himself. After learning the identity of the envoy from the Japanese country of Namba, he stepped forward to question the identity of the thieves.

Of course Namba Megumi didn't recognize it, so they started arguing.

Looking at Li Hongqing who blamed himself and felt uncomfortable, Chen Qingsi said softly: "It doesn't matter, they can't run away."

"Japanese ships cannot withstand wind and waves. It is impossible to travel far, and their only goal is Hirado. I immediately ordered troops to be sent to Hirado, and they were nowhere to be found. It doesn't matter whether they are Japanese soldiers or pirates, it is the same. Yes. One by one, capture them all to Danluo and hand them over to the survivors on the island."

He looked at the sad Li Hongqing, with a bit of heartache on his face, his words were affirmative, and his attitude was decisive. For your sake, there is no harm in destroying the Japanese country.

Lu Zhaolin on the side looked ecstatic at first, and then looked at Chen Qingsi with a bit of weirdness.

As Chen Qingsi's secretary, Lu Zhaolin knew Chen Qingsi's plans for Haidong.

Danluo Island is a key part of it.

A few days ago, Chen Qingsi was still thinking about how to take Danluo Island back to Datang as a matter of course.

After all, with his current status, it would be too shameless to bully a group of local natives. The Americans' unscrupulous behavior towards the Indians is something that no one with even the slightest bit of bottom line can do.

Now another country with no moral bottom line will do all the evil things, which will give them an advantage.

Lu Zhaolin was still very knowledgeable and didn't show anything strange.

On the contrary, Namba Megumi's expression changed drastically and he said: "It is child's play for two countries to fight at war. How could the Governor-General make such a child's play and rashly decide to invade our territory?"

Chen Qingsi was too lazy to pay attention.

However, Lu Zhaolin could not see this and said: "Compared with your country's low-level tactics, the governor cares about the common people and hates you barbarian foreigners for your ruthless methods, destroying people's homes and killing your Majesty. It is a righteous act to impose special punishments. Your Majesty. If the country is still so shameless and acts like an animal, the governor will surely trample the birds and choose a benevolent master to treat him."

Look how beautifully this is said.

We, the Tang Dynasty, do not want to live in the small territory of the Japanese country. It is your king's unkindness and tyranny that makes our country in heaven rise up to the righteous army to crusade.

Whether it is true or false is not important. What is important is what effect it will have if it is spread to the Japanese country.

In order to maintain the orthodoxy of the royal family, the Japanese countries committed a lot of disgusting things with each other.

There are many people with the right to inherit. Who stipulates that only the eldest brother, the prince, can inherit the throne?
Chen Qingsi secretly praised Lu Zhaolin. Who said scribes and Confucian scholars are useless?
Namba Eri looked at Chen Qingsi and Lu Zhaolin with some confusion. The two people in front of her had completely different personalities and attitudes from when she was in Chang'an.

The people of the Tang Dynasty in my memory are gentle, modest and pleasant, and interacting with them can make people feel like a spring breeze.

For this mission, Namba Eri was still full of expectations. However, when he arrived at Baekje, he was forced to kneel in the direction of Chang'an.

The treatment is very different.

But they don’t know that China is a country of etiquette. Although it is rich in martial arts and always at the top of the world, its courtesy to the surrounding small countries has been the best since ancient times.

Compared with the West, which conquers, kills, and plunders by force, the East is better at being gentle.

As long as you are good to me and everyone is good, the East rarely takes the initiative to send troops. Not only that, it is also willing to exchange culture with any country and spread China's influence through culture.

But I have never been merciful to unfriendly countries...

Such as Turks, Gaochang, Baekje, etc...

The Japanese country has revealed its true colors this time and completely exposed its national inferiority. Does it still want to get the same treatment as before?
A fool's dream.

Chen Qingsi immediately ignored Namba Eri and returned to the Governor's Mansion. If he likes to kneel, let him kneel. If he dares to kneel to death, he will bury him.

Li Hongqing, Lu Zhaolin, Cheng Boxian and others also walked into the Governor's Mansion.

Lu Zhaolin wanted to go back to the lobby to work.

Cheng Boxian grabbed him, slumped his shoulders, and said, "Lu Wenshu, yesterday I was reading "Confucius" and I didn't know how to explain a sentence. Wen Wensheng helped me to understand."

He didn't care whether Lu Zhaolin agreed or not, so he dragged him away.

Chen Qingsi gave Cheng Boxian an encouraging look.

Lu Zhaolin was attentive and quick-thinking, and helped him a lot in trivial official affairs. However, he was not flexible and had no eyesight at all. He often acted as a candlestick without realizing it. Fortunately, Uncle Cheng was here. He must be allowed to go to the battlefield and gain merit.

Chen Qingsi thought about it in her heart.

Chen Qingsi and Li Hongqing came to the main hall one after another.

Li Hongqing's mood was obviously a little low. She was originally a person who hated evil, but now that a country was almost destroyed because of them, it was understandable that she felt guilty and uneasy.

Chen Qingsi knew that Li Hongqing needed comfort most now, so she said softly: "Ms. Li doesn't need to blame herself too much for what happened to the Danluo Kingdom. It's their own fault. If it weren't for the greed of Danluo King Zuoping Tudong Yinlu, it would be right and wrong to take in the Japanese country. The army is not immune to this disaster. It is their own fault for bringing the wolf into the house.”

Chen Qingsi has been coveting Danluo Island for a long time. He originally planned to take down the Japanese country on the charge of colluding with the Japanese country, but he didn't want something like this to happen.

Li Hongqing nodded slightly, saying so, this knot in his heart is not so easy to get rid of.

Chen Qingsi and Yue said: "Things have already happened, and it is useless to think about it. What we should consider now is how to rescue the surviving people. The Japanese are despicable and ruthless. They will definitely not leave materials to survive for the people on the island. Now is the time It’s summer, and there are thousands of corpses. If not properly arranged, it is likely to cause plague, and there will also be problems with food and accommodation. It is better to take these things into consideration and minimize the losses.”

Li Hongqing shuddered just thinking about what happened to the people of Danluo Island. After hearing what Chen Qingsi said, he also felt that he still had a lot to do, and it shouldn't just be nerve-wracking. He had just raised some fighting spirit, but when he thought about rescuing nearly ten thousand victims, How could she have that ability?
A pair of resolute eyes looked pitifully at that man...
