[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 20 Conquer 16

Except for His Royal Highness Li Hong, all the people present were well aware of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's attitude towards the Japanese kingdom.

Now when he heard His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's decision, he understood what he was thinking: this is going to attack the Wa Kingdom!

Wu Xu couldn't help but smile: "Who is the sage sending to Japan?"

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu glanced at Mr. Li without a trace, and said: "This matter still needs to be discussed by the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall..."

Speaking of this, Li Sanlang immediately replied knowingly: "Saint, don't worry, the ministers have already made regulations on this matter..."

"So that's the case... No wonder Li Xianggong has time to come to Baifu Hall..." His Majesty Li Xiaojiu couldn't help grinding his teeth when he heard the words, and his smirk looked creepy.

Mr. Li also smiled at His Majesty Li Xiaojiu without showing any weakness.

Wu Xu felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was really weird, so he coughed and interjected, "It's a long way from the Tang Dynasty to the country of Japan. If you go directly by sea, the wind and waves are unpredictable, and you have to follow the monsoon, otherwise accidents will inevitably happen... ..."

Wu Xu thought that it was already February, and the wind direction of the monsoon was about to change. If the deportation envoy didn't set out, he would have to go against the wind, and it would be unpredictable when he was at sea.

No sooner had Wu Xu finished speaking, her little friend Li Hong reminded her, "Aniang, have you forgotten that now that Goguryeo is gone, the road from Liaodong to Baekje County is unobstructed, and there is no need to travel a very long sea route to Wa Kingdom... ..."

Wu Minzhi, who participated in the battle against Goguryeo, also nodded in agreement.

Wu Xu couldn't help but hesitate when she heard the words, she really forgot about this.

With the Korean peninsula in the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to worry about attacking Japan again.

The only depressing thing is the communication problem. In this 'people-oriented' era, if you want to get news about the enemy country, you have to be a spy or a spy.

The Japanese envoy sent to Tang came to Chang'an so soon. It can be seen that the first battle in Baijiang Village caused the Japanese country to suffer heavy losses. Today's Japanese country has not learned the "spirit of Bushido" of later generations, and will kill himself if anything goes wrong!Today's Wa Kingdom is just a little wolf cub. Before he learns hunting skills, he will keep a low profile and try his best to survive, even if he bows his knees...

Therefore, the Japanese envoys came, and brought a large number of boys and girls who came to the Tang Dynasty to steal their lessons...

This ability of bending and stretching, we people of the Celestial Dynasty really have to learn from others!

Li Sanlang said it well before, let's see how King Goujian of Yue killed Wu Kingdom. Now the Kingdom of Wa wants to follow the old path of King Goujian of Yue, and it is almost successful!

Except for those with long-term vision, there are probably few people in the ruling and opposition parties who see a small island country in their eyes.

Even Wu Xu, because he came from thousands of years later, is particularly vigilant about the serious trouble of the Wa Kingdom.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has always been known for his intelligence, violated the big taboo of being clean under the eyes of the monarch of a great country.

In fact, as long as you think about the Battle of Baijiangkou a few months ago, you can know that the country's ambitions are not small, and its strength is not weak.

In a naval battle, the two sides dispatched more than [-] troops. How big is that scene?

After all, the burning of Chibi is a historical event, which was caused by many objective factors.

Wu Xu really admired Liu Rengui's genius, he was able to use what he had learned to use, and he burned down three times as many Japanese troops as his own!

This is another example of victory with less and more battles like the Battle of Chibi. It not only gave the extremely ambitious Wa Kingdom a blow, but also made Tang Dynasty see the importance of the navy.

Opening up territories is an achievement that every hero must have. The previous kings only focused on the mainland, but did not understand the importance of the ocean.

Therefore, for thousands of years, the territory of the Chinese nation once extended to the Mediterranean Sea and annexed the entire Middle East, but never expanded too much to the east, because naval warfare has never been the strong point of the Chinese nation.

Today, because of the existence of Xiao Wu, a big butterfly, the trajectory of history has obviously changed.

Wu Xu believes that it is a matter of time to eliminate the Wa Kingdom, and the most important thing right now is to ensure the stability and unity within the Tang Empire. =

She wouldn't be so stupid as to think that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu ran to Baifu Hall without even changing his court clothes, to block Li Sanlang.

Whether or not to accept gifts from the Japanese envoys is a gesture, whether it is her or Li Xiaojiu, before Datang really takes action against the Japanese country, it is still necessary to give the other party a semblance of friendship.

And the elimination of a Wa country is not a big deal at all.

In Li Xiaojiu's deep-rooted ideas, Turkic, Xianbei, and Tuyuhun in the north, Tubo in the west, Tianzhu in the south, and Goguryeo in the east that have just been wiped out are the most dangerous neighbors of the Tang Dynasty.

Another thing is: to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down inside.

This is not really a pejorative statement.

For a powerful country to turn from prosperity to decline, it must want to start from within itself...

Therefore, when Wu Xu proposed some reform plans, Li Xiaojiu would be so excited.

There is no monarch who does not wish to become an emperor through the ages and be famous forever.

The change to Yuan Xianqing was exactly His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's determination to break the shackles of officialdom for thousands of years.

The court of the Tang Dynasty is no longer just the court of aristocratic families!

Therefore, the topic of deporting the Wa country did not take up much time.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu took advantage of the presence of the crown prince, Li Sanlang and Wu Minzhi, so he simply explained everything.

"I have ordered the Ministry of Industry to arrange ships. On the fifteenth day of this month, I will send those Japanese people to Liaodong..."

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu meant sooner rather than later.

After all, the wind is not easy to wait, even if you go to Japan from the Korean peninsula, you still have to bear certain risks.

Unexpectedly, Li Sanlang raised objections.

"Saint, I think that it is best to keep all the youngsters sent by the Japanese kingdom..." A sly light flashed in the young man's eyes, "As for the envoys of the Japanese country... I invite you to send them back to the Japanese country..."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.

Wu Xu's reluctance to stay with the Japanese boys was to prevent them from learning the advanced culture and science of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu and His Royal Highness don't like those Japanese boys, and they each have their own reasons.

But Wu Minzhi agrees with Li Sanlang's opinion this time, he also said: "I think those youngsters don't need to be sent back."

Hearing what he said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't stop immediately, and asked angrily: "Brother, what do you mean by that?!" If Wu Minzhi didn't explain clearly, he would rush to bite someone Stance.

Wu Minzhi's expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "Although my wife ordered that those Japanese youths are not allowed to move around at will, but these people are good at flattering and bribing the officials in private, they have already left the Sifang Pavilion in disguise in private..."

In other words, Wu Xu's foot ban did not have a very good effect on the Japanese.

Hearing this, Wu Xu couldn't help being a little dazed.Thinking about the temperament of the people of the two countries, I was relieved.

Wu Minzhi said again: "Since those young people admire my Tang style so much, it's better to let them get what they want, just stay in Chang'an forever..."

"How can it be so easy..." Wu Xu really wanted to say, these teenagers are humanoid Trojan horses, Trojan horses, after they have learned all kinds of knowledge and technology, they still don't decide to go back to Japan to build their motherland? !

Unexpectedly, Wu Minzhi seemed to have guessed Wu Xu's unfinished words, and suddenly smiled, quite a bit like Mr. Li.

"If these teenagers are used to living in the land of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no country like Wa in this world, and there is only one county in the Tang Dynasty, what do you think they will do?"

"Huh?" It took Wu Xu a long time to realize what Wu Minzhi meant, and she couldn't help but secretly sighed that this kid was domineering.

"Then...do you want to go to Japan with the deportation envoy this time?" Seeing Li Sanlang looking at Wu Minzhi with a half-smile, Wu Xu guessed that the two had probably reached some agreement in private.

Li Sanlang has a good tongue, and Wu Xu was not worried at all when he was sent to Japan to fool the eldest brother, the crown prince.

As for Wu Minzhi, Wu Xu can only think that this baby probably wants to see with her own eyes what is so scary about the small island country that she and Dalang often talk about!

Gee!

Why do these young people like to fight so hard!

Wu Xu thought of this, looked back at her son, and turned her head expressionlessly.

Uh……

It's better for boys to be strong and ruthless, otherwise they will definitely be eaten to the brim, cough!

In February of the fourth year of Xianqing, not long after the Spring Festival, many governors of the Tang Kingdom wrote to express their discovery of auspiciousness, such as golden harvests, exotic flowers, white deer, and white tigers.The most interesting thing is that after the news of Su Dingfang fishing for dragons in Baekje rock ponds spread all over the country, local officials in Yizhou, Mianzhou and other places also said that they saw dragons in the daytime, and tried to use various methods to catch dragons. is a failure.So the officials of these state capitals wrote letters of 'pleading guilty' one after another, slapping His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's dragon buttocks.

Wu Xu laughed so hard after reading these ghost novel-like stories, and by the way, dispelled Li Xiaojiu's idea of ​​trying to change the name to "Longshuo".

The fourth year of Xianqing was a year full of good things.

There was no spring freeze after the very rare beginning of spring this year.

There was no spring drought in March.

The country is in good weather, and the frontier is also very peaceful.

Tubo Xiao Zanpu once again sent a mission to Chang'an, presented all kinds of cattle, sheep and jewels, and submitted a letter of credence to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, expressing his intention to conclude a peace agreement of eternal harmony with the Tang Dynasty, and by the way, the prime minister who had been stranded in the Tang Dynasty for many months. Dongzan took it back.

The situation on the Korean peninsula is also very good.

After Goguryeo was destroyed, Mr. Li Ji personally escorted the former Goguryeo lord Gaozang back to Chang'an as a prisoner.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu not only spared Gao Zang's life, but also granted him a title and made his family live in Luoyang, just like he did to Fuyu Yici, the former lord of Baekje.

After the death of Goguryeo, the entire peninsula became a prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty Li Xiaojiu ordered the entire Korean peninsula to be divided into 78 prefectures and counties, and [-] governors' mansions, and the Andong Governor's Mansion was established in Pyongyang, headed by Liu Rengui. The governor and appeasement envoy, set up the Donghai Protectorate in Jincheng, and Xue Pinggui served as the governor and appeasement envoy.

In March of the fourth year of Xianqing, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, led by Zhongshuling Li Yifu as the chief envoy and Xu Yushi as the deputy envoy, crossed the Korean Peninsula from Liaodong to Jincheng, boarded a ship at Jincheng Port, and escorted the Japanese envoy Hanoi Jing Cross the sea and return home.

No, not long after sending the mission and Japanese envoys out to sea, there was a storm, and the entire fleet was lost at sea, and life and death were unknown...
