Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The sea, the vast water is endless. The Jiaolongjun Qingzhou No. 1 ship is full of sails in the downwind, as brisk as a bird, the pointed bow splits the waves, and the white water splash blooms.

"Ah..." A sailor stood on the deck with his hands in front of his mouth and shouted loudly to the sea.

"Haha!" everyone roared with laughter, and someone yelled, "Li Mazi has to chant poems before he learns to read!" "Haha..."

A Yamato businessman said in jerky Chinese: "Your ship is too fast. At this speed, you can see the land of Japan very quickly!"

Zhao Hong, the envoy of his country and the Privy Council, said with a smile: "Smooth sailing, with less effort."

The deputy envoy Zhang Yin followed his ears and quietly said to the envoy: "The Jiaolong Army corvette is improved from a large food ship, with a slender hull, equipped with sails, water wheels, and a crew of 50 people; it can adapt to headwinds and calm weather. Sailing, the speed is sixty miles an hour (eight knots) when the wind is downwind. Jiangning Jingkou Port to the island of Kyushu, Japan, according to investigations, about 1,700 miles, if the weather on the way of my ship is full of weather, day and night, less than three The sky can reach the island of Kyushu, Japan."

Is making nodded.

Zhang Yin was originally a book official next to Wang Pu, the privy envoy. He has nothing to do with him in Tokyo. Fortunately, he is very familiar with Wang Puxiang in the case. Later, the emperor went on an expedition. He worked as a errand in the former camp and stayed with Emperor Guo Shao for a while...In Zhang Yin’s experience, Guo Shao was a very special person, whose words and deeds can greatly influence people; he went on an expedition for just a few months. , Zhang Yin was also affected a lot.

Unlike most high-ranking people, Guo Shao talks about great principles. Instead, he pays most attention to specific details. Zhang Yin thought of the unforgettable days around the emperor, and the things that came to mind were very small things. Guo Shao picked up the spoon in the barracks and personally tasted the soldiers’ meals; and once he got angry and said to the scout general: Suizhou is a hundred miles here, and one hundred and fifty miles is one hundred and fifty miles. , By no means are words like "not too far" or "coming to Suizhou soon"! If you don’t know, dismount and walk, and count me step by step!

Since ancient times, the land of abundance in the land of Shu, anyone who goes out of Sichuan is to realize their ambitions! Zhang Yin straightened his chest, stroking the fine and firm woodwork structure on the ship's railing, feeling inexplicably excited.

The supreme ruler of the dynasty, the attitude of his words and deeds will obviously affect many places, and now even the guardrail of a warship can be so delicate and serious.

Imperial Foundation, Guo Shao has said this word twice. Zhang Yin stood on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, leaning forward into the wind, watching the waves of the vast ocean. The distant East Island seemed to be on the horizon, but the king's soil under the world has no boundaries; the ambition of making meritorious deeds is also far away!

Sure enough, a few days later, people saw the land on the ship, and there was another cheering on the deck. Zhang Yin has gained a lot from this trip, and he also truly experienced the joy of sailing on the boundless sea and seeing the land at once.

However, the voyage is not over yet. Following the guidance of the Yamato merchants, the ships have to travel north along the coast, and then enter the Japanese domestic sea from the strait waterway between Kyushu and Honshu, so that they can stop at the port close to Heiankyo.

Along the way, I encountered an inquiry from a Japanese ship. The envoy asked the guide to translate and showed the seal of the envoy, which was successfully released. At this time, the wind was small and the sailing speed slowed down. People took off their sails and used human water wheels to drive the boats and sail slowly... Many of Xu Jun's light boats do not use oars and are directly powered by water wheels.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) A few days later, Zhang Yin and others arrived at Watanabetsu (Osaka Port) at the mouth of the Yodogawa River, and then met Japanese officials. The chief and deputy envoys and guide interpreters changed ships to follow the officials. Ping An Jing. In fact, Zhang Yin and others usually do not need translation. The officials in Japan can speak Chinese, and their annals are also written in Chinese. Civil officials can read and write more or less.

When they arrived in Ping An, Zhang Yin had a familiar feeling. The layout of the buildings in front of them was basically similar to the Tang Dynasty Chang'an in the picture! The officials and people of the country serve etiquette, and there is also a faint shadow of the Central Plains. The familiar feeling gave Zhang Yin a very good impression of Japan’s own country. He said to the righteous envoy: “Japan’s own country is the land of kings. According to the rules of the Central Plains, this trip should be much smoother.”

Zhao Hong said calmly, "It's too early to tell."

Zhang Yin worshiped: "Zhao Shijun is right."

Zhao Hong and others were taken to hand over a large number of documents in a mansion, and then they were settled down, without seeing the Japanese king. Zhang Yin found that the officials of this country were more silent and cautious, and generally did not get a clear answer when asked. On the contrary, Yamato merchant guides are easier to get along with, but the merchant knows too little and can only get some information that everyone knows.

At this time, the name of the lord of the country was called Naiaki (Murakami Emperor), which was quite well-known among the people, because the "rule of the calendar" allowed the country to settle down; but the actual power is not the king, but the minister of the court Shirari Fujiwara.

During the few days waiting for the summons, Zhang Yin often talked with the guide and local people and recorded various things.

He wrote in the dossier that the power of the country’s sovereign was left behind, and the foreign relatives, Fujiwara, had long held the real power. The "owners", "leaders" and the nobles who owned the land lived in the territorial fief of Ping'an Jingyao. Ping'an Jing singing and dancing rose to peace, and the place was actually controlled by the official Zhuang Tian and the samurai.

At this moment, an official from Japan visited the hotel and claimed to be participating in Ono Koko. Zhao Hong and Zhang Yin received the counselor together in the living room.

Ono Koko is a short and thin old man, but he is in good spirits and has a good posture.

An entourage of Yamato said in Chinese: "Ono-kun is a military strategist, good at singing, and both civil and military. The former anti-thief Fujiwara Juntomo rebellion (Chengping Tianqing Rebellion) was put down by Ono-kun."

Zhao Hong clasped his fists and said, "General Ono is famous for a long time."

Ono’s ancient gaze stayed on Zhao Hong for a while, but he paused for a while on Zhang Yin’s face, bowed and said in a jerky but fluent Chinese accent: "If our officials are inadequate in hospitality, they will pay off. Haihan."

Zhao Hong saw him politely and smiled: "It's very good. Although our place is sleeping on the ground, it is very clean; rice and dried fish are also very good. Please sit down!"

Several people knelt down in the room face to face.

"So..." Ono Kogu pondered for a moment, "The two noble ambassadors come to our country this time, is it because the Emperor Xu canonized the emperor of his own country?"

When they heard "the emperor of the country", both Zhao Hong and Zhang Yin's face changed. The atmosphere that was good at first changed immediately. Zhao Hong said in a serious tone: "There is no two days, there is only one emperor in the world, and that is the emperor Da Xu. If the country is called the emperor, how can it be called the emperor?"

Zhang Yin is not happy anymore: "The law in the world is the same. Your country is deeply affected by Chinese (Central Plains) etiquette, don't you know?"

Koko Ono frowned and said, "The emperor of this country is the place where the sun rises.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The emperor, the emperor of the Central Plains is the emperor at sunset. Our country’s monarchs and ministers recognize the Emperor Da Xu as the emperor, why don’t you respect them equally? "

Zhang Yin said: "General Ono can speak Chinese, and he should know that there are no two emperors."

Ono Kogu said coldly: "Since the Emperor Amaterasu started his own business, the Japanese emperor will never change forever. Does it need to be titled by others? If you hold this idea, please ask!"

After that, he got up and walked away.

Zhao Hong and Zhang Yin looked at each other. Zhao Hong said: "Just now that squad has issued an order to evict customers, shall we go back like this?"

Zhang Yin did not hesitate to say: "Even if you return without success, you can't give up on this matter. Besides, without the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, what is the name of the court for official contacts? Said my country is too arrogant! How can they call the Lord of the East Island the Emperor? If they pay tribute to the court, they will be called the king in Da Xu, and the Emperor in the country, just like the Liao Kingdom, things may be discussed...like now, the Lord of the Kingdom How can the court’s princes accept it as the emperor to hand over the letter to the court?"

In the afternoon, another man with fat head and big ears arrived. His body was so fat that he couldn't get in at the door, so everyone had to talk in the yard. He claimed to be Fujiwara Asana, and boasted that he was very edible, able to eat seven or eight rice bowls and dozens of fish. He first talked about Ono's good old days. He said that the servant was a martial artist and had no knowledge, which offended the noble envoy Yunyun.

Although this servant is ugly and fat, he speaks a lot. He also praised the emperor Da Xu's achievements in conquering Youzhou and Pingxia, and expressed his admiration.

Zhang Yin sounds like a general guess: Japan is not an attitude in Japan, and political opinions are divided. Although this Fujiwara Chaocheng is suspected of having wine and rice bags (too edible), at least he has concerns about Xu Jun's record.

He immediately asked: "General Ono is rudely chasing guests, and Fujiwara treats me politely. Who should we listen to and how do we respond to our country's attitude?"

Fujiwara Chaocheng said solemnly: "Of course listen to me. You only need to think about the surname of the minister of the court and you will know who said what worked!"

After listening, Zhang Yin couldn't question ~www.readwn.com~ that makes sense.

Zhang Yin asked again: "The Minister of Sheguan agrees that the Lord of the country should be canonized by the emperor?"

"This..." Fujiwara Chaocheng said in a low voice, "You know, everything depends on the minister's meaning. I am afraid that the canonization is difficult. But our country has always admired the Central Plains, and it can be the minister. Pay tribute to the court in name."

This is still very sincere, and it is also a compromise method to resolve disputes. But in reality, Zhao Hong and others could not fulfill their mission. Their mission was to try to discuss the canonization of their own country and establish a relationship between monarchs and ministers... In this way, it is possible to do things in their own vassal state, both in name and convenience. Different, this is also to pave the way for a further foothold in Japan in the future.

It has been almost ten days since they arrived in Ping An Jing, and there has been little progress. Zhang Yin felt that it was difficult to perform his meritorious service. The country he came to seemed to admire the culture of the Central Plains, but he was not so submissive. He also wrote his views in the dossier he was going to play.
