Capital Datang

Li Zhi stayed in Nugang in Wa Kingdom for only two days, and then left there by boat. However, just as their fleet was about to leave Nugang Bay, there was a very prosperous place on the peninsula on the west side of the bay. The location, where the navy was stationed at the beginning, is now also a very important military site, but next to this military site, there is a very prosperous city.

In fact, it is not so much a city as it is a walled city. Although there are many large-scale buildings, the construction is very chaotic. There is no unified plan at all, and there is not even a serious official stationed there. , everything looks bustling and chaotic.

This spontaneously formed walled city is very famous in Japan. Its name is Fragrant City. The whole city is lined with large and small brothels. When evening comes, the fragrance of makeup and powder wafts all over the city. This is also true. The origin of Xiangcheng.Every night, strings of pink lanterns stand in front of the brothels, and the men who are having fun flirt with the prostitutes with heavy make-up under the lights, making a lot of noise. With endless extravagance.

Speaking of the origin of this Fragrant City, it was mainly created by the navy. After the country of Wa was pacified, Lu Qing and his navy's main force was stationed here. In addition, the salaries of these navies are very generous, and everyone has no shortage of money, so these navies often use their shift time to go to slave port to hang out with prostitutes.

Speaking of which, Li Yin's navy was originally from pirates. Although it has been vigorously rectified, it is still a little lax in some aspects.Another point is that in Datang's army.It is not forbidden for soldiers to find women, even when some troops go out to fight.There is also a "prostitute" camp, and it is also affected by this atmosphere that the navy in Li Yin's hands is naturally very liberal in finding women, not to mention that they don't give money.Capital Datang 529

With a navy of tens of thousands of people, and all of them are middle-aged men with money and energy, I am afraid that everyone can imagine how much profit margin there is, and after the war in Japan, countless people became slaves.Especially female slaves are more common, so many people seized this opportunity to buy a batch of Japanese female slaves, and then opened a brothel next to the military camp to do business with these navy.

It was also these people who took the lead that made more and more "brothels" outside the military port, and gradually formed a walled city, which is now Xiangcheng, but the current Xiangcheng has been developed for several years.It is no longer the country "brothel" at the beginning, but attracted many businessmen who specialize in "brothel" business to invest here, and selected beautiful Japanese women, Sanhan women, and even sent them from Luzon. native woman. The "brothel" house trained these women to be professional "prostitutes", and they also played many tricks, which made Xiangcheng's reputation more and more famous.

Until the main force of the navy withdraws here.Xiangcheng is no longer just doing naval business, its fame has already spread throughout the country of Japan.Even Sanhan and Dengzhou have special guests coming here, most of them are Han Chinese.They are all very fresh about the taste of this exotic land of ecstasy, so there are naturally an endless stream of guests.

"Sixth brother, what are you doing there? Why is it that the sun is already rising, but no one in the city seems to be getting up? It looks lifeless?" Sizi asked, pointing to Xiangcheng not far away.Xiangcheng is built next to the military port, and the military port guards the slave port, so when leaving the slave port, it must pass through Xiangcheng.

When Li Zhi heard this, he coughed in embarrassment. A place like Xiangcheng full of brothels is naturally the busiest at night. Now it's early in the morning, and the brothels haven't opened yet, so it's naturally very deserted.Accompanied by Lu Hong yesterday, he went down to the military port. When he passed Xiangcheng, he went in out of curiosity and took a look around. Feel guilty.

Seeing Li Zhi's appearance, Lu Hong next to him smiled and said, "Princess Qi, this city originally served the navy stationed here, but now that the main force of the navy has withdrawn to the south, only a small part of the navy is left here." , As a result, the business of these people who rely on the navy is not good, and the people in the city have all gone to slave port, so it seems a little deserted now!"

"Oh, that's how it is. Then these people are really pitiful. After I arrived in Taiwan, I begged Sixth Brother for mercy, and tried to get Sixth Brother to transfer the navy back, otherwise these people would have nothing to eat." Sizi was thoughtful. He said, but Li Zhi and Lu Hong couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. How could the transfer of the army be so random?And the people in Xiangcheng don't have to worry about food at all.

After leaving Nugang, Li Zhi and his fleet crossed the Bungo Channel and came to Shimonoseki City, Chikushi Island. Speaking of Shimonoseki City, although it has the same name as a future city, it is not located on Honshu Island The city of Shimonoseki, but located at the western end of Chikumoto Island, which is the Nagasaki area of ​​later generations.

Xiaguan is very close to Samhan and Dengzhou, plus it is a rare good port, so it was quickly selected by Li Minxiang, and a port was built here, and because it occupies a favorable geographical position, it developed Binu Port Much faster, now it has become the largest port in the country of Wa, and it is also the most concentrated area of ​​Han merchants in the country of Wa.

In addition, a hundred miles to the west of Xiaguan Port, there is a military port called Wagang, where not only a fleet of ten main warships is stationed, but also an army of 5000 people, and all of these armies are It is composed of Han people, and even the army is equipped with artillery, so its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

The reason why a powerful army is stationed in Wagang is to protect the safety of Shimonoseki, and another purpose is to supervise the Japanese army trained in Wagang.

Wagang is not only a military port, but also a training base for the Japanese army, but these trained Japanese soldiers are not stationed in the Wa country, but are transported to Luzon, Linyi and other places, and the troops stationed in the Wa country are Linyi people and Sanhan. People, and only in the hands of the Shishang clan and Su Wu clan who helped Li Yin pacify the Japanese country, there are some regular Japanese troops.Moreover, with the pacification of the Wa Kingdom in the past few years, the troops of the Ishigami and Suga clans have also been weakened by Li Yin. It is estimated that when the Wa Kingdom is completely pacified, it is the day when these two clans completely surrender their military power.

Li Zhi and the others stayed in Xiaguan for a few days, and visited Wagang by the way. They found that 2 Japanese troops were training in the city. [-] people were sent to the south, and this batch will also be sent there in half a month.

When Li Zhi heard the news, he was shocked. The sixth brother suddenly asked for so many Japanese troops. Although the fighting power of fifty thousand Japanese troops was not very strong, they were still troops. As far as we know, there is no possibility of a major war breaking out in several places in Li Yin's hands, but now that so many troops are suddenly needed, it is very likely that Brother Six will make new moves.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help feeling a little excited. He had wanted to experience the feeling on the battlefield for a long time, but it was a pity that with his identity, he had no chance. If he could meet him this time, no matter what method he used, he Also go to the battlefield to have a look!

Li Zhi, who had made up his mind, urged the fleet to set sail again, wanting to get to Taiwan early so as not to miss the upcoming war, but Lu Hong smiled at this, because he knew that Li Zhi might be disappointed this time.

Xiaguan Port has a direct route to Shanghai, so Li Zhi and the others did not return to Dengzhou, but went directly to Shanghai. After more than ten days of sailing, they finally arrived in Shanghai, a new city.

"Big brother~, third brother~, I'm here!" Before the boat landed, the sharp-eyed Sizi had already seen Li Chengqian and Li Ke coming up to greet them on the pier, and their family members were also standing on the pier, This made Sizi very excited, and shouted while jumping and waving.

As soon as the boat stopped, Sizi jumped off the boat like a small kangaroo, and then threw himself into Li Chengqian's arms, shouting excitedly: "Brother, Sizi misses you!" Tang 529

Although Li Chengqian only had the throne in his heart at the beginning, he still loved brothers and sisters like Li Zhi and Si Zi, which was at least stronger than Li Tai. The brother-sister relationship is also very deep, especially after these years of parting, when we meet again today, Sizi is already a grown girl.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian put his hands on Sizi's back, and said with emotion: "Brother also misses Sizi, your birthday will be in one month, and Big Brother will definitely go to celebrate your birthday in person!"

Sizi was originally excited and was about to cry in his elder brother's arms, but when he heard Li Chengqian saying that he was going to celebrate his birthday, he immediately turned from crying to laughing: "That's great, elder brother, you must keep your word. A month later, we will all go to Sixth Brother's place, and then celebrate Sizi's birthday, but let me mǎnyi your gift!"

Seeing Sizi's mischievous look, Li Chengqian touched Sizi's head affectionately, and at this time his wife, Mrs. Su, also came up with her son Li Xiang. Li Xiang was only six years old, but he already looked like a little boy. Like an adult, he bowed respectfully to his son, calling him 'aunt', which made his son very happy, and gave the meeting gift he had prepared a long time ago.Then Sizi Xiang met Li Ke and his wife, and was naturally very close to Li Ke's daughter.

At this time, Li Zhi and Cai'er also disembarked, and saluted Li Chengqian and Li Ke respectively.When Li Ke saw his cousin Cai'er again, he couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed. He really didn't expect Cai'er to get together with his younger brother Li Zhi in the end, and he would become the queen of the Tang Dynasty in the future. If a grandfather Quan Xia knows, I don't know what he will think?

Just when Li Zhi and the others had just arrived in Shanghai, a major event that Li Yin had prepared for a long time finally started, but when the news reached Shanghai, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, because this event was completely out of his expectation. outside!
