Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Prince Yamabei, the eldest brother, was secretly thinking about how to drive Chu Mo out of Japan after he became the king of Japan. While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the voice of Okada Matsushita:

"Your Highness, when are you going to launch an attack?"

Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that everyone was looking at him. He couldn't help but blush slightly, and then coughed and said:

"If you can lend me 10 warships and send me back to Honshu Island, then I can definitely launch an attack within five days."

When he heard that the other party wanted to borrow a warship, Chu Mo frowned, and then said with a troubled face:

"Brother Shanbei, don't look at the fact that I have so many battleships, but in fact, most of them are farmers who are responsible for logistics and have no strength. The number of soldiers who can fight is less than 5000."

"If I allocate 10 warships to you, then my side will be stretched."

"Look, now I not only have to defend Fukue Island, but I also have to find a way to capture Nagasaki, and then wait for an opportunity to attack Kyushu Island."

"Originally, I thought that you could launch an attack first and use all your strength to contain Soga Ezo's troops. I would catch him by surprise from behind."

"When the time comes that Soga Ezo will not be able to take care of both ends, we will be able to take advantage of the situation and defeat them in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing Chu Mo's words, Shanbei's eldest brother Prince's face turned green.

What's more, I'm not blind. I really don't know how many soldiers your kingdom has come this time.

But only counting the soldiers stationed on Fujiang Island, there were almost 5000 people.

Now you tell me that there are only 2000 soldiers in this entire fleet. Do you believe this?

Taking a deep breath, Shanbei's eldest brother, Prince, stared at Chu Mo and said:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to pay 1000 taels of gold for each warship as a reward for this trip."

"And I can promise you that we will not let them participate in the battle along the way. If there is really no way to let them join the battle, then I will pay additional fees."

"If anyone is injured, I will definitely compensate you according to the highest compensation amount on the island."

After saying that, Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, bowed fiercely to Chu Mo and waited for Chu Mo's answer.

Chu Mo touched his chin and looked at Li Junxian aside.

Li Junxian nodded slightly to Chu Mo.

"Now that it's all said and done, and we're still allies, it would really be unreasonable if we don't help."

Chu Mo stepped forward, helped Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, and slowly said:

"It's not impossible for me to send you a ship back, but in addition to the fees and pensions you mentioned, I have one more request."

"That is, these crew members of mine have been wandering at sea for a long time. If they are allowed to continue sailing, the soldiers will definitely be resentful."

"If possible, I hope that after they escort you back, you can let them rest on the spot for half a month before coming back?"

Upon hearing Chu Mo's request, Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, was stunned for a moment, and then felt overjoyed.

I already covet the opponent's shipbuilding technology and the manufacturing technology of armor and blades.

Originally I was thinking about how to steal it from the other party.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually took the initiative to deliver it to my door.

Thinking that he could steal all the opponent's forging technology and shipbuilding technology at almost no cost, Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, grinned almost to his ears.

"Your Majesty, look at what you are saying. They escorted us back, and we can't even thank them enough."

"They can rest in the harbor for as long as they like."

"Not only that, we have shouldered all the expenses and supplies since the break."

Chu Mo also smiled after hearing what Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, said.

Two people with different agendas couldn't help laughing loudly on the deck.

In the end, Chu Mo decided to send a three-tier warship, two second-tier battleships and seven ordinary battleships to escort the eldest brother Prince Yamabei back to Honshu Island.

As for how many soldiers were hidden in the cabin, Li Junxian didn't say, and Chu Mo didn't ask.

However, before Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, left, he warned the other party that after boarding the ship, they must follow the orders of the soldiers and move within a limited range.

Because these soldiers have been sailing at sea for too long, each of them is a little confused.

They regard the cabin as their sacrosanct territory, and anyone who dares to explore privately without permission will be considered a provocation to them.

Therefore, if someone walks around the cabin at will during the voyage and they take it as a provocation and kill them on the spot, it is a normal event.

Don't panic about this, and don't come forward to seek explanations from the soldiers.

Because in that case, it is likely to be regarded by the soldiers as another provocation to their military law, and it is likely to escalate the situation.

The furious soldiers were likely to kill all the outsiders on board the ship.

For the sake of their lives, Chu Mo sternly warned Shanbei's eldest brother, Prince, not to try to provoke the soldiers or any logistics personnel on the ship.

After listening to Chu Mo's warning, Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, suddenly felt a little creepy.

But the matter has come to this, and the arrow has to be fired. There is no other way. Finally, after conveying Chu Mo's words to the subordinates, he gritted his teeth and led them onto the ship in fear.

Watching Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, leave the port, Li Junxian immediately approached him and asked:

"Sir, can we prepare for war now?"

Chu Mo smiled slightly, shook his head and said:

"There's no rush. Let's wait until Prince Yamabeko declares war on Soga Ezo. When they start fighting, we can then choose the time to take action."

"The top priority now is for the logistics people to build a workshop on the island as soon as possible to repair the armor and weapons worn out by the war."

"In addition, the amount of ammunition and artillery shells we brought this time is limited. We also need those in the logistics department to produce another batch of ammunition as soon as possible that can support a battle of 10 people."

"Finally, we must control all the Japanese on Fujiang Island as soon as possible. Regardless of men, women, children, old, weak, women and children, we must detain them separately according to gender."

"Send some of the young and strong male laborers to work in the workshops, and the rest, together with the old and weak who are in good health, are sent to the fields for farming. We must also ensure that the output of food can be supplied. The amount of consumption of the army.

"As for those women..."

Chu Mo glanced at Chu Ruowan beside him, hesitated and said nothing.
