At this time, Japan was in the so-called flying bird era in history. When Li Hong attacked Japan, Japan just experienced a struggle within the royal family. After the death of emperor Tianzhi, he passed on the throne to his son, big friend, Emperor Hongwen.
But in less than two years, his throne was seized by his uncle, the sea people (this is the name), and now, it is known as emperor tianwu in history, and he is the king of Japan.
Emperor tianwu is both literate and military, has both political integrity and talent. He is the son of God. If he is angry, he will lead to the trouble of the sea god, and will drown you all in the stormy sea, stormy wind, lightning and thunder.
Li Hong sat on the side of Li Chunfeng and disdained to listen to the Japanese envoys telling them that under the command of emperor tianwu, the state of Japan is now a united country with strong military strength, and will not yield to the threat of the four ships of the Tang Dynasty.
"Tell them to brag that emperor tianwu is the son of the God of the sea, and I will throw him into the sea and let him see their ancestors in advance." Li Hong glared at the tongue and said.
The tongued man looked at the young man with one eyed dragon. He did not know who he was. After a while of doubt, he translated Li Hong's original words word by word to the envoys.
"You..." The envoys looked at each other angrily, but when they saw that there was no fear on their faces, they had to suppress their anger and say in a deep voice: "your ship sank by yourself, not by us. Therefore, we have never seen ten thousand jin gold and thousands of people. As a kingdom of shangguo, you should not embarrass our small country, but ask whether the sea god has taken you Our gold. "
"But we have human evidence and material evidence, which prove that you have salvaged our gold and killed our people in the Tang Dynasty in order to own the gold." Li Chunfeng's skin color is getting darker and darker these days, so he doesn't look so red when he lies in the cabin where the light is not very bright.
However, the tone seemed a little empty, but this made the Japanese envoys think that this is what the officials of the Tang Dynasty should look like.
The Japanese envoys also understand that the Tang Dynasty is blocking up at the door of their home and making clear that they want you to lose money, but they just use the wreck as a cover.
When I came to see the emperor, I had already got the will. If the Tang Dynasty agreed, I could immediately pay the money to the emperor. As long as they left, they would no longer be stuck at the door of their home.
These days, the fishermen are unable to go to sea. They can only fish in a water basin in the inland Strait of Seto, symbolically fishing a few fish belly.
But ten thousand taels? In the face of such a huge ship, I felt that when I got on the ship, I could not even buy one of the sails that seemed to cover the sky and block the sun.
What's more, the one eyed dragon is more ruthless. It costs ten million Liang silver to open his mouth For the Japanese, the annual income is just enough 10 million Liang silver. If all of this was given to the Tang Dynasty, the emperor of Japan and the people who wanted to fish would eat earth and drink sea water!
The official, who was more like the officials of the Tang Dynasty, was able to speak a lot. After several times of tongue grinding, the compensation was also reduced from 10 million taels to 5 million taels, but the five million taels, not to mention themselves, could not have been given by the emperor.
In this way, since the emperor ascended the throne the year before last, it is impossible to build the Zhai palace that he wanted to build. In this way, how can the emperor, who wants to kill his nephew and ascend the throne, explain his benevolence and virtue to the people of the world?
Therefore, the five million taels of silver seized by the officials of the Tang Dynasty couldn't make up his mind. After one night's negotiation, he still broke up unhappily.
And that one eyed dragon, even in the negotiation is not late at night, yawn left, this is too do not understand the rules?
The Japanese envoys sat in the boat before they came, envied and envied, and looked at the giant beast lying on the sea like a dragon and a whale, and walked slowly towards the strait with a complex look.
After waiting for two days on the sea, there was still no news of emperor tianwu. When Li Hong was impatient to wait, he finally met the last envoy.
However, this time, the reply from the envoys was quite tough. For the sake of the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese nation, as well as the Navy teacher's expedition, he was willing to pay 100000 Liang silver to shangguo Datang.
Before the envoys finished speaking, Li Hong kicked the envoys into the sea from the high side of the ship. He pulled off his blindfold and cursed, "I tell you, the son of a bitch, 100000 Liang silver. I spent more than 100000 liang of silver these days. Besides, since your son of a bitch knows that he has been friendly with me for generations, we have traveled thousands of miles and climbed mountains and rivers for our common purpose Do you show such sincerity when you come from the friendship with us? When our Tang Dynasty is your shangguo, do you still want to send your envoys to Datang! Go away! Tell your son of a bitch emperor, tomorrow I will lead a boat to cross the inland sea of Seto. I will not give money for a day, and I will not leave for a day! "
The Seto Inland Sea is only four or five hundred kilometers long. After passing through the Seto Inland Sea and Shikoku Island, where there are many salt and fishery industries, it is suitable for planting rice. Therefore, from a distance from the warship, you can see a lot of farmland reclaimed as terraces.As Li Hong's three ships sailed into the Seto Inland Sea, the fishing industry began to shrink on a large scale in recent days, and few decent vessels could be seen to enter the sea to fish.
After entering the Seto Inland Sea from the narrowest Seto Strait, the three ships are still one south and one north, going north to the difficult waves in the north and heading south to Kyushu. Then they continue to go northward along the Shikoku island. After going north, after the difficult waves, the ships going south will make peace, and then continue to turn around.
In this way, Li Hong used two huge ships, one in the South and one in the north, to circle around Shikoku Island, while the other, like the original one, straddled the entrance of the Seto Inland Sea to catch up with all the boats who wanted to come down for fishing.
The three ships entered the real hinterland of Japan. Originally, fishermen from Boduo and other places could finally avoid the Tang Dynasty's giant ships for fishing. However, they didn't want to go out to sea, but there was a dragon boat symbolized by a Tang ship!
Instead of cruising like the three ships, the Dragon Boat boldly entered the farthest port of Bodo port, close to the mouth of the sea, and looked down upon every ship that wanted to enter the sea like a toll gate.
The dragon boat was built by Yang Guang in the former Sui Dynasty. Li Shimin wanted to repair it, but was advised by Wei Zheng. Finally, Li Shimin had to bear the pain to part with his love. Later, Wu Mei fell in love with the ship and asked Li Hong to repair and widen it so as to be suitable for offshore navigation and withstand the wind and waves.
Each floor has expanded from 160 rooms to 200 rooms. As a result, a large number of sailors are needed to serve the ship. This time, Li Hong filled the ship with food and other things. This is an unsinkable aircraft carrier. It is enough to stay at sea for half a year without any replenishment.
Li Hong is now on this ship. As for Zhuque, Xuanwu and Fu Zhu, Li Chunfeng, Cui Zhibian and Zhang Yi advise at the same time that they put the prince of the Tang Dynasty on the supply ship because the situation is not clear after entering the domestic waters of Japan and it is easy to encounter danger. They are ready to run along the north route.
For several days in a row, Haidong qingtiantian flew over the Seto Strait, passing on the position and information of three giant ships, as well as taking many orders from Li Hong.
But even so closely guarded, three Japanese warships still sneaked out of the Seto Inland Sea in front of the three giant ships.
As soon as it was light, Bodo's outer port was still hazy, so he stepped on the deck and ran to him.
"Your Highness, I see three Japanese warships, which have just sailed out. This is a letter from the Lord Li Chunfeng." Li Hong quickly pulled the letter out of his hand.
Neither Li Chunfeng nor Cui Zhibian, nor Zhang Yi, revealed that there was a Japanese ship going to sea from Seto Inland Sea.
"Oh, it's interesting. It seems that they came out secretly. What do they want to do? Do you want to ambush behind us Li Hong stroked his moustached chin and walked out of the room. Standing on the deck, he could see with his naked eyes that three Japanese warships had left the inland sea of Seto. Looking at the situation, he seemed to be heading for the north route.
"What about your highness? Stop it or not? " The dragon boat was so calm that it was not as exciting and challenging as the Fu Zhus.
"What do you think they're going to do?" Li Hong looked at the three Japanese warships, as if they were three sneaky people, and murmured.
"Since Mr. Li Chunfeng and others have not found out, they must have something important to do. Otherwise, they can't choose to go to sea at this time, can't they?" Unable to ponder, he said two nonsense words, and then got the prince's white eye.
"Your Highness, I wonder if they will go to Baiji to rescue the soldiers?" No day to think about it, looking at the same face as the idiot, murmured.
"Bacchus? Don't be funny. Gexiyuan and Liu Rengui lead 20000 soldiers to Baiji now. Japan will go to Baiji to rescue soldiers? Do you want to die? " Li Hong did not like to roll his eyes, he could not guess their intention, but in any case, they must have a purpose to go to sea.
"Well What do you mean, your highness
"Catch up and intercept them. No matter what they want to do, they can't succeed!" Li Hong clapped his hands. Although he could not understand their intention, I could intercept them and ask.
"But Now we don't have warships. "
"This one under the bottom is enough. Such a big ship will scatter them when it collides with them. It's very important for us to set out at once!" With a big wave of his hand, Li Hong didn't expect that he was commanding a naval battle for the first time. He actually used the warships of the same era, and his advantage suddenly became almost no more.
