Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 118 Ambitious countries

Originally, Li Ke had achieved great unification, and had greatly improved the lives of the common people.

It is a good choice to be an idle and unrestrained emperor.

However, although the idea is very good, the reality often does not go as expected.

Because Li Ke thought the enemies were gone.

However, the enemy is far more than that.

He felt that the Dragon Kingdom was big enough and strong enough.

However, some neighboring countries don't seem to realize this yet.

It's like the country of Wa, which is far away overseas.

The Wa Kingdom had already started eyeing the Tang Kingdom and later the Dragon Kingdom long before.

But the strength shown by the Dragon Kingdom once frightened the Wa Kingdom.

Later, the Dragon Kingdom kept fighting with all parties, and the Wa Kingdom chose to remain silent.

Because they feel that it may be a good choice for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole.

now.

The Dragon Kingdom completed the great unification, but what the Wa Kingdom saw was not the strength of the Dragon Kingdom, but felt that the Dragon Kingdom helped them remove all obstacles.

Wa Kingdom's ambitions have always been great. Not only did they want to win the Tang Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom, but they also wanted to win the original Tuyuhun, Turkic, Tubo, and Silla Baekje, all of which were in his plan.

Today, the Dragon Kingdom has taken these countries.The unification has been completed, which is in line with the intention of the Wa country.

In this way, they felt that as long as they took down the current Dragon Kingdom, it would be fine.

No need to step by step, to rule...

Ever since, this ambitious small island country began to plan to clean up the Dragon Kingdom.

This is their self-confidence, the self-confidence of fans.

Of course, there must be a reason for going to war.

You can't say, I just want to rule you, right?This is not in line with the hypocritical style of Japan.

Ever since, the island country sent a mission, saying it was visiting the Dragon Kingdom.

But in fact, it's not as simple as visiting, but intentionally, to make things happen.

In addition, the great unification of the Dragon Kingdom has attracted the attention of many neighboring countries.

For example, Nanzhao Kingdom in the south, Tianzhu Kingdom and so on.

These are not because of the fear of the Dragon Kingdom, nor any fear.

Even, instead, they still want to take down the Dragon Kingdom, so that they can become the masters of the Central Plains.

Nanzhao Kingdom and Tianzhu Kingdom are also ambitious.

Therefore, it seems that there are no enemies of the Dragon Kingdom.

Dragon Palace.

Li Ke looked at the memorial boredly, and there was nothing serious about it, so he didn't seem to care too much.

At this moment, a eunuch stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the Japanese mission has arrived, do you want to announce it?"

Li Ke shook his head: "No need, let's just hang out, this arrogant and hypocritical country must not be for any good deeds."

Li Ke has the worst impression of the Wa country, and the least favorable impression, that's why he is so blunt.

Besides, he is not a Wa country.

To fight against Wa, warships at sea are indispensable.

He ordered before that to vigorously develop warships and sailors.

After all, he is from modern times, and he deeply understands that world-class battles all come from the sea.

If the sea power is strong, then a country can be defended on a large scale.

Especially now that the Dragon Kingdom has completed the great unification and has a huge coastal area, so it is even more necessary to develop maritime power.

Now it has indeed been done. Many warships have been built, and they are all equipped with cannon ports.

When such a warship reaches the sea, it does not need to attack the enemy, but directly attacks the enemy's ship, which is enough to destroy countless enemies.

Therefore, Li Ke has nothing to fear, and he is not afraid of the Wa country at all.

That too listened to Li Ke's words, and said:

"Your Majesty, the person who came this time is a prince of the Wa Kingdom, who is said to represent the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom!"

Li Ke still said: "Let it hang!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch bowed down.

On the side, Wu Meiniang said: "This Japanese country is indeed very confident, how dare to call itself the emperor?"

Li Ke disdained: "It's just self-righteous."

"I don't know what to worry about sending a prince this time." Wu Meiniang said again.

Li Ke thought for a while, and said: "It's right if you don't have good intentions. Send someone to closely monitor the prince of the Japanese country, and see what they want to do."

"Yes!" Wu Meiniang nodded, then got up and left.

Outside the hall.

Seeing the eunuch coming out, the prince of the Japanese country said lightly, "How about it!"

The eunuch also said flatly: "Your Majesty said, I don't have time recently, please wait first, Your Majesty will summon you when you are free!"

The Japanese prince was stunned, and said: "Did you tell your majesty that this prince opened it himself?"

"Yes, Your Majesty said, let you wait!" The eunuch said lightly.

This made the prince of the Japanese kingdom upset, and said:
"What do you mean, Your Majesty? I am the prince of the Japanese country, and I came on behalf of my father, the emperor. You actually said that he is missing?"

The eunuch became impatient and angrily reprimanded:

"Whether my Majesty Longguo wants to see you or not, it's not up to you. If you don't accept it, you can leave."

After finishing speaking, the eunuch snorted coldly, turned and left.

The prince of the Japanese country looked ugly, looked at the position of the imperial study, snorted, and turned to leave.

All of this was seen by Wu Meiniang, who immediately sent someone secretly to monitor the prince of the Japanese country.

The prince of the Japanese kingdom was not arranged to eat and live by Longguo Honglu Temple, but stayed in an inn by himself.

He was really left aside by Li Ke.

In the next few days, Li Ke received news that the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom would also come to Long Kingdom.
