Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 381: Chaosing the enemy country with just one word

Chen Qingsi looked at Li Hongqing's pleading eyes and felt a little embarrassed, but she still nodded resolutely and said: "I can't just sit back and watch nearly ten thousand lives perish. I will send people to send food and materials to Danluo Island to help them solve their life problems. question."

Seeing that Chen Qingsi agreed so happily, Li Hongqing was not overly happy. She saw a hint of embarrassment on his face, lowered her head and said: "I have no choice now. Dozens or hundreds of people may be able to mobilize Fuyu Friends on the island help, but the nearly 10,000 people are really unable to cope.”

A smile flashed in Chen Qingsi's eyes, and she said: "It doesn't matter, just using the army's food and grass will indeed be criticized. With... I will let people take over Danluo Island and put Danluo Island under the control of the imperial court. In this way, There are enough reasons. Danluo Island is a bit remote. I heard that the resources on the island are good, and it is still valuable. "

The more Chen Qingsi said this, the more guilty Li Hongqing felt. She always felt that she had caused him trouble, but she really couldn't think of any other way.

Chen Qingsi immediately called Lu Zhaolin and asked him to be responsible for supporting the rescue of Danluo Island.

"You can take your time with the rest, and the food must be delivered first. At least something tragic can't happen..."

Li Hongqing listened to Chen Qingsi's arrangements, and the nostalgia in her beautiful eyes became even more intense: knowing that he was so interested, she probably wanted to make herself feel less guilty.

Otherwise, there would be no place like Danluo Island worth so much effort.

In fact, Li Hongqing's thinking is not that he is short-sighted, but that under the current circumstances, Danluo Island does not have any extra value.

Due to deficiencies in navigation and shipbuilding, Danluo Island was worthless.

But Chen Qingsi knows that the two islands of Danluo Island and Tsushima Island can block the peninsula strait and control the sea control of the peninsula and Wajima Island.

It’s just that the navigation and shipbuilding industries are immature and unable to achieve maritime blockade, and the strategic value has been significantly reduced.

Chen Qingsi had some considerations about this. The main reason why navigation and shipbuilding in the Tang Dynasty had been underdeveloped was because of insufficient attention. The focus of the entire dynasty was in the west. In Tubo and the Western Regions, navigation and shipbuilding naturally developed slowly.

Now they have included Baekje into their territory, and in the future they will have Goguryeo, plus the Dayin Mountain of Japan, which will form a new economic route.

The supplies from Changbai Mountain and the gold and silver mines from Japan will contribute to a prosperous economic route.

With this economic line, we won’t have to go through Liaodong and Liaoxi again, right?

This will naturally happen as soon as it needs development...

Once a huge interest route is formed, the value of Danluo Island will be reflected.

Compared to the lack of materials on Tsushima Island, Danluo Island is rich in resources. It can farm and raise horses. Not only can it garrison troops, but it can also produce additional output.

Chen Qingsi can assert that as long as the Tang army obtains Goguryeo, it can effectively integrate the resources of Japan and Changbai Mountain.

Ten years later, Danluo Island will definitely become the most important military stronghold of the Tang Dynasty in the East...

The small investment in Danluo Island at this moment will also usher in huge returns.

Naturally, Li Hongqing couldn't see through the key details. His heart was full of his sweetheart's devotion to him, and there was something more in his eyes when he looked at Chen Qingsi.

Due to the beastly behavior of the Japanese country, the relationship between Chen Qingsi and Li Hongqing, which has been stagnant, has taken a further step forward.

But it was a huge disaster for the Japanese envoy Namba Eri, and it also made him realize the facts.

He knew that there was no point in continuing to kneel. With Chen Qingsi's attitude, even if he knelt to death here, he would not have any mercy, not to mention the Danluo Island incident.

Namba Eri finally decided to return to Japan and explain the situation.

Namba Megumi returns to Asuka again.

When he saw Namba Megumi, Prince Nakadai was surprised, but when he saw that he was covered in dust and his legs and feet were still a little weak, he realized that something was wrong and turned away from others, leaving him alone to ask the reason.

"Ambassador Namba hasn't crossed the sea yet, why is he back?"

Namba Eri handed over the credentials that were torn to pieces by Chen Qingsi and detailed the situation she encountered.

"hateful!"

The prince, the eldest brother, was so angry that he threw the certificate of credence in his hand to the ground and said, "How dare you humiliate our country like this?"

At this moment, the Japanese country has no distinction but no self-respect and regards it as particularly important.

"How can our country, Japan, be so humiliated?"

They have already changed the country's name to Japan, but it has not yet been recognized. They already regard themselves as Japanese in their credentials as a great shame and humiliation. Who would have thought that Chen Qingsi would go even further and try to overwhelm them from the national point of view.

Namba Eri said: "This time helping Baekje to attack Xiongjin completely angered Chen Qingsi. His attitude towards us is extremely bad..."

He thought that the Tang army had the idea of ​​attacking Hirado, so he hurriedly told the story of Danluo Island and Chen Qingsi's decision.

Hearing that Chen Qingsi wanted the Tang army to attack Hirado, Prince Zhong Daxiong calmed down.

The current situation made him realize the reality. The Tang army attacked Hirado...

What else could he do?
Rescue?

If they really had the ability to rescue, they would not let the Tang army show off its power in Higo, Tsukushi, and Nagato.

Let alone Hirado, even if the Tang army advances into Asuka now, he is not sure how many King Qin soldiers can be gathered from various places.

"Tell me the situation of your visit word for word!"

Namba Megumi told his story to his eldest brother, the prince.

The eldest brother, the prince, clenched his fists so hard that his fingers were digging into his flesh, and his heart was full of humiliation.

Until the prince, the eldest brother, heard Lu Zhaolin's words: "If your country is still so shameless and behaves like an animal, the governor will definitely trample the birds and choose a benevolent leader to replace him..."

The prince, the eldest brother, lost all color in an instant. He suddenly stood up and roared in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier?"

He was so angry that he yelled again: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

He couldn't wait for Namba Eri to reply and continued: "Where was the other party when he said this? How many people could hear it?"

Namba Megumi said: "Most of the people traveling with me can listen."

"asshole!"

The prince, the eldest brother, cursed and rushed out of the palace, preparing to put everyone who went with Namba Eri under house arrest.

Never say this to anyone.

After this defeat, his prestige has been greatly reduced and he has been burdened with a lot.

The ability to maintain today's regime relies on compromises with the old aristocracy, and compromises in exchange for support.

Those nobles don't care who is sitting in the seat. As long as they can maintain their interests, it can be him or someone else.

Now it is very likely that a war to destroy the country like Baekje will break out between Tang and Japan...

The strength of the Tang Army is obvious to all in Zhuzi, but the key is that it is not the main force of the Tang Army.

The main force of the Tang army is dealing with the Baekje rebels and their surprise troops in Baekje. Now the people in the country are panicking and are pinning their hopes on the success of the peace talks.

Only a handful of people insist on fighting to the end...

If people find out, as long as he is replaced, the war may stop.

Most of the old nobles would choose to sacrifice themselves.

The eldest brother, the prince, was still a step late. He was not the only one who was eager to know what the situation was.

When the envoys left and returned, what happened was related to the fate of the entire Japanese country. Who wouldn't want to know in advance so that they could respond?

Therefore, when the prince, the eldest brother, met Namba Erihi alone, all the events of Namba Erihi's visit were known to all the forces through the accompanying attendants.

There are forces from all sides and undercurrents surging.

First of all, the conservative faction, Abe Uchimaro and Soga Ishikawa Maro, the left and right ministers of the Japanese Kingdom, gathered together.

"Prince Shotoku, the eternal sinner of Japan."

Abe Uchimaro cursed.

Soga Ishikawa Maro agreed.

Before Prince Shotoku's reforms, Japan was in a slave age.

The feudal lords in various places were huge slave owners. They had land and population, and had absolute right to rule in the local area.

After Prince Shotoku learned the idea of ​​unifying the king in the Central Plains, he tried to create a Japanese country with a centralized system with the emperor as the center.

This undoubtedly seriously harmed the interests of feudal lords everywhere...

In their mouths, Prince Shotoku was the culprit of the crisis.

Without change, there wouldn't be so much going on.

Soga Ishikawa Maro said: "The current situation is like this. As the pillars of Japan, you and I should stand up and consider the future of Japan."

Abeuchimaro also agreed.

Suga Ishikawa Maro said: "The prince, the elder brother, is foolish. He has attracted powerful enemies for our country, humiliated our country, and made your majesty angry to death. If you continue to let him be the crown prince, it will not be a good thing for you, me, the Japanese country, or the Tang Dynasty. Instead of getting worse, choose someone else.”

Abe Uchimaro patted his thigh and said, "That's what I mean. How about letting Prince Ariuma be the crown prince?"

Soga Ishikawa Maro was speechless for a moment, and quickly said: "I think it is most suitable to establish a prince."

The two Maru were talking and laughing, but for a moment their eyes were like daggers, and they collided.

There is no other reason: Prince Ariuma is the son of the Japanese Emperor Takatoku, and his mother is Abe Koatsuhime, who is the daughter of Abe Uchimaro.

And Prince Ken’s mother is Soga Enchi-niang, who is undoubtedly the daughter of Soga Ishikawa Maro...

What the two of them were planning could be heard eight hundred miles away.

In addition to the old nobles of Japan, the pro-Tang reform faction also received the news.

Inugami Mita Sagi, who originally failed in the impeachment, did not give up and returned to Horyuji Temple.

Horyuji Temple is located in Ikaruga Town, Ikoma County, Nara, so it is also called Ikarugaji Temple.

Shintoism was rampant in Japan, and Prince Shotoku vigorously promoted Buddhism in order to suppress Shintoism. Horyuji Temple is the current core of Japanese Buddhism and the stronghold of the reformed pro-Tang Dynasty faction.

Inugami Mita Shu heard Lu Zhaolin's words, "If your country is still so shameless and acts like an animal, the governor will surely trample the birds and choose a benevolent leader to replace him..."

The whole person was excited and excited, and said: "The Great Governor of the Celestial Dynasty is indeed wise and powerful. He can see the evil deeds of the eldest brother among the rebels at a glance. He can be called a beast. With such a beast occupying the position of the prince, our country, Japan, will surely perish. We should take advantage of this opportunity." The Celestial Empire did not unleash its thunderous wrath, but took the first step to bring order to the chaos and let Prince Owari succeed to the throne."

Prince Owari is an ancient figure. He is the youngest son of Empress Suiko. In order to promote Buddhism, Empress Suiko set an example and asked her youngest son to become a monk.

Prince Owari was born stupid and did not like to be in the palace. After becoming a monk, he found peace of mind in Buddhist scriptures. He has been meditating in Horyuji Temple and ignored the outside world.

As soon as Inugami Santian Shu finished speaking, monks including Benzheng, Daozhao, Daoyan, Daotong, and Daoguang responded in unison.

These monks are all monks who studied abroad in the Tang Dynasty. There is no trace of enlightened monks in them, but they are full of hostility.

Buddhism is actually a very aggressive sect. However, through the influence of Chinese literature, in order to adapt to Chinese culture, Buddhism from the West smoothed its edges and corners and became the unique Han Buddhism of China.

I just don’t know why, but when the peaceful Chinese Buddhism spread to Japan, it became an aggressive sect again.

Buddhist believers in the Japanese country were not only free to drink and eat, but they were also able to marry wives and have children, and even had a certain amount of military power...

Benmasa said angrily: "In the crusade against the traitors, this poor monk is willing to be the vanguard!"

Inugami Mita Shu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, it's better not to fight if you can. No one knows what Tang Ting's plan is, first to force Brother Dazhong to abdicate on his own. If that fails, he will raise an army to fight against the thieves... …”

There were changes in all parties, and the prince, the eldest brother, personally felt the political pressure of the surrounding people. Thinking that just one word from Tang Ting caused them to be in such turmoil, he was so angry that he almost broke his teeth.

Forced to have no choice, on this day, the eldest brother, the prince, called his younger brother, the prince of the sea people, to come closer.

"Main Hall!" The Prince of the Sea People called out respectfully.

The eldest brother, the prince, looked at his younger brother with a rather complicated expression.

Prince Kairen was the later Emperor Tenmu. This man was an unswerving reformer, and his decisive attitude was even higher than that of Prince Nakadai.

At this moment, the two brothers had already developed a rift.

Because the prince, the eldest brother of Zhong, compromised with the old aristocracy, he trampled on the reform of the Japanese country.

This is also true in history, the two brothers are almost at odds with each other. Later, after the death of Prince Zhong's eldest brother, Prince Dahai defeated his son and successfully became the Emperor of Japan. In the end, the reform successfully brought the Japanese country into feudal society, and imitated Li Zhi's emperor, and the Japanese emperor also came to him. Befitting the emperor.

Of course, that’s all for later…

Now the eldest brother, the prince, opened his mouth and finally said: "I want to pass on the position of prince to you..."

The prince of the sea people looked shocked.

The prince, the eldest brother, said: "If I don't retreat, I'm afraid the Tang people won't give up. I'm young and stupid, and I'm not good enough to take on big responsibilities. Rather than being manipulated by others, it's better for you to lead Japan to glory."

The Prince of Dahairen was a resolute man. Tears filled his eyes immediately and he said with gnashing teeth: "Brother, we in Japan have many warriors who are not afraid of death. Why should we beg for mercy from the Tang people? Why not call the people of the world to fight to the death and let the Tang people know that we are the people of the Land of the Rising Sun?" , not Japanese!”

The prince, the eldest brother in the middle school, laughed miserably: "If we are united, we should dare to fight for my brother. With the current situation in the country, how can we fight? No more, I have asked Namba Ambassador Xie Guoshu to apologize to the Tang court. The matter started because of my brother, so Let’s end it as brothers.”

Namba Eri arrived at Xiongjin again. This time, Chen Qingsi did not embarrass him. She called him into the palace, looked at the credentials in his hand, and threw it on the ground.

Still holding it!
There is no trace of Wanyan Gou’s “ability to bend and stretch!”
