Chapter 414: Mighty
Buyeo Hong's reluctant invitation was simple.
That is, he hoped to go to see Chen Zhengtai with the Tang envoys sent by the Wa State and the Tang envoys sent by Silla to meet Chen Zhengtai.
Let him see Chen Zhengtai alone, he refused.
When Buyeo Wei heard it, he just laughed, of course he knew that this Buyeo Hong was not a simple person.
Now that Baekje is in a weak position and is in turmoil, the Tang envoy was sent to Chang'an this time to solve the problem of the future of Baekje.
If you can negotiate with Datang, it will be good.
But if you really have to do it, you can only jump off the wall in a hurry.
Baekje doesn't have a lot of hole cards.
Therefore, Fuyu Hong knows very well that going to meet Chen Zhengtai alone will inevitably make Chen Zhengtai eat dry and squeeze clean.
At present, the only way for the Baekje people to ensure the interests of their Baekje nation is to advance and retreat together with the Japanese and Silla people.
Even not so long ago, there was a conflict between Baekje and Silla, and the two sides fought each other.
However, this did not prevent Fuyu Hong from pulling the Silla people together, so as to reduce the exploitation of himself by the Tang Dynasty.
Because the Three Kingdoms are the closest, in Buyeo Hong's view, this piece is the common territory of the Three Kingdoms, even if everyone is feuding, but I am afraid that no country is willing to accept the Tang Dynasty to extend its tentacles into Baekje, and it will take root in the future.
Their common goal is that although there are very major contradictions between each other, it is best for Datang to stay away, everyone sends Tang envoys, and even tributary ministers are no problem, surrender to Datang in name, I pay tribute to my own specialties, and you Datang will reward me.
Therefore, in his opinion, it is the best choice to bring in Silla to send Tang envoys and the Japanese to send Tang envoys, although Baekje is already in turmoil, but with the support of the Japanese and Silla, at least the Tang Dynasty can be reined in.
Such calculations are the norm in diplomacy.
Fuyu Weigang knows very well that this plan, Fuyu Hong must have thought about it long before he came, and it is also one of Fuyu Hong's two killer features, if he refuses to agree at this time, Fuyu Hong would rather be stiff than continue to contact.
After all, it involves the fundamental interests of Baekje, and Buyeo Hong is just a mouthpiece, and he must have discussed it with the crown prince, the current new king of Baekje, before he came.
Fuyu Weigang smiled: "This is not in accordance with the rules, and it is obviously not in line with the wishes of the Korean public." But...... Since you insisted, for the sake of you and me as the same ancestors and ancestors, I simply made the decision and agreed for the time being. ”
Fuyu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to be an ancestor with Fuyu Weigang.
As a result, Buyeo Hong immediately asked people to ask the two envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Silla to send Tang envoys.
In fact, when he was in the second year of Zhenguan, he came to Datang once, and he can be regarded as having an understanding of Datang.
It's just that although Inugami Mita was courteous in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin also sent an envoy to travel east with Inugami Mita to the country to express friendship.
It's a pity...... This beautiful exchange activity soon came to an abrupt end, and after the envoys of the Tang Dynasty arrived in the Wa Kingdom, they should have submitted their credentials, but according to the rules, they were required to bow to the north and accept the credentials. The Japanese obviously thought that this was an insult to the Japanese state, so they refused to accept it, and the two sides argued.
Therefore, in history, the first time the Japanese sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, it was very unpleasant, and the Japanese side regarded itself as an island country, and then did not take the exchanges with the Tang Dynasty to heart, until 30 years later, when the national strength of the Tang Dynasty continued to increase, the Japanese people sent the Tang envoy again, and the second time they learned to be obedient, and they were willing to perform the courtesy of vassals.
This time, because of the sudden situation that the Tang Dynasty sailors attacked Baekje, there were also a lot of discussions within the Wa Kingdom, after all, the Datang Sailors suddenly became powerful, and since they could appear in Baekje, it could also become a hidden danger for the Wa Kingdom, so Inougami Mita set off again and went to Datang to explore the truth and reality.
Inugami Mita accepted the mission and set off with a mighty mission, along the way, he was in contact with the Tang envoys from Silla and Baekje, obviously for Inugami Mita, he could not accept the expansion of the Tang Dynasty's power to Baekje!
Baekje and Wa Kingdom face each other across the sea, and today the Tang Dynasty has completely controlled Baekje, and the next step is ...... It may make the Wa Kingdom their bag.
The three of them cleaned up and set off for Chen's house.
This Chen family occupies a very large area, and it is a new house, with carved beams and painted buildings, and pavilions and pavilions hidden in the courtyard wall, which makes the three envoys look a little timid.
But everyone has already arrived, and it is impossible to retreat from the battle, so I cheer up and go in!
The Chen family brought them directly to the middle hall, and Chen Zhengtai was already sitting on the main seat of the middle hall, with a plaque with the words "Jishan people" on his head, which was customized by the third uncle, and was invited to be handwritten by Yu Shinan, a university scholar, and then let people carve it down.
If you have money, you always have to have a little face, and you have to appear moral, this four words of good people happen to be in line with the family style of the Chen family, and the good name of Chen Dashan is well known to everyone inside and outside the customs!
Chen Zhengtai sat steady, steady as a rock.
The three sent Tang to make you look at me, and I will look at you.
But I saw that Chen Zhengtai was around, and there were four or five people, all of whom looked like guards, namely Lou Shide, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and the black tooth Changzhi.
These four people sat on Chen Zhengtai's side, like stars holding the moon.
Send Tang envoys not to salute.
Lou Shide shouted: "Who is under the feet? When I saw Han Gong, why didn't I salute. ”
Fuyu Hong watched the Japanese send the Tang envoy Inoue Mita, among the three kingdoms, the Wa State was the strongest, so Fuyu Hong hoped that Inougami Mitaku could support himself.
Inugami Mita has the experience of fighting with the Tang Dynasty and fighting with each other, so he is more confident than the Silla people and the Baekje people, he smiled and said: "I came here on the order of the Son of Heaven of the East, but I am a special envoy, and it is not appropriate to salute." ”
Lou Shide looked angry and was about to say something.
Chen Zhengtai waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, just sit down and talk." ”
The three of them were seated separately.
Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "I was ordered by the emperor to negotiate with the three envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, but I don't know, can you bring your national letter?" ”
Inugami Mita felt that it was a little inappropriate to rush into the national book at this time, so he didn't say anything.
However, Fuyuhong is a little anxious, although there is a stalemate now, but sooner or later things have to progress, as long as it does not involve the fundamental interests of Baekje, it is natural to enter the national credentials as soon as possible, and it is better to clarify the attitude of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible.
So he said, "I brought the national letter." ”
After that, he handed over the credentials to Fuyu Weigang.
Fuyu Weigang held it in both hands and cautiously walked in front of Chen Zhengtai.
Chen Zhengtai took it and glanced at it quickly.
The content is not new.
Presumably, the Baekje Kingdom was willing to be a vassal and sent a proton, and from then on it was willing to pay tribute.
No matter how many conditions there are, there will be no more.
Of course, one of them is to hope that Datang can treat their Taishang King well.
Obviously, the new king of Baekje is a little unkind, his father was captured by Datang, and he didn't want to ask for it back, just to show his filial piety, and hoped that Datang would help him raise him well in the future.
Chen Zhengtai expressed regret for the captured Baekje king, and it seemed that he could go and make up for the emperor Li Yuan.
After Chen Zhengtai read it, he casually threw the national letter aside.
It's a frivolous move.
Let Fuyu Hong frown.
In fact, this letter was a compromise that was made after a long debate in the Baekje court, the biggest of which was the sending of protons, which many Baekje people at the time considered to be too much of a compromise, and this was the result of the king's rejection.
But it is clear that Chen Zhengtai is extremely dissatisfied with this.
So Fuyuhong looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "What does the Korean public think?" ”
"Jokes." Chen Zhengtai said without hesitation: "Baekje has repeatedly provoked the Tang Dynasty and acted for the tiger, and now he is just a minister?" Since you are a minister, you must have the appearance of a minister, and it is far from enough to just send out protons. ”
This attitude is very polite.
As soon as I heard it, I knew that the conditions put forward by Baekje were far from being met by Datang.
Fuyu Hong was speechless for a while, he didn't ask what conditions Datang wanted to propose, because asking at this time would put himself in a situation where he couldn't answer, it was better to be stupid, so he deliberately looked at the envoy sent by the State of Wa to the Tang Dynasty.
Inugami Mita suddenly understood Buyeo Hong's thoughts, so he exchanged glances with the Tang envoy sent by Silla before coughing and saying: "Han Gong, Baekje is willing to be a vassal and forever marry Qin and Jin, why not?" Datang is located in the Central Plains, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, so don't you still covet the land of Baekje for hundreds of miles? Although the big countries have countless armor, but the small countries also have their own ways to preserve, after all, the Tang Dynasty and Baekje are far away, so why should they force each other? ”
He has a kind and old attitude.
But obviously, this dog is a bit of a shaft, you and things are with things, as soon as you open your mouth, how can it be more like a deliberate provocation?
Chen Zhengtai smiled and said: "What is the preservation method of a small country, I would like to hear it in detail." ”
Fuyu Hong's face darkened suddenly, this is special...... Isn't it just to deliberately revisit the fall of the royal city?
Inugami Mita is very confident: "This Baekje ......"
Chen Zhengtai shook his head and interrupted: "No, I'm not asking about Baekje, I'm asking about your country." ”
When Inugami Mita heard this, he was immediately ashamed and shouted: "My country is a country with the sun rising in the east, not a small country. ”
Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "But in front of the Tang Dynasty, your country is a small country, so I ask you, if I come to the Tang Dynasty to ask for it, what is the way for your country to preserve?" ”
This question made Inugami Mita Yun embarrassed and angry for a while, and he quickly understood what Chen Zhengtai meant.
The Baekje people brought the Wa and Silla kingdoms together to negotiate, essentially hoping to use the Wa and Silla kingdoms to put pressure on the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Zhengtai wanted to force Baekje to make concessions, and instead of settling accounts with the Baekje people, it was better to ...... Directly find him Inugami Mita, as long as he suppresses Inugami's arrogance, this Baekje person will become a fish on the board.
Inugami Mita has come to Datang twice, and I haven't seen anyone so rude, don't they all say that Datang people are civilized, even if they scold people, they all turn around?
Inougami Mita suppressed his anger, and only said with a stiff face: "I came here on the orders of the Son of Heaven to make friends." ”
"You answer my question first." Chen Zhengtai said coldly: "What is the preservation method of your country?" ”
Inougami Mita couldn't control it anymore, and the fire started as soon as he soared, so he gritted his teeth and said: "My country has hundreds of brave generals and 500,000 soldiers. ”
Of course, this is bragging.
Chen Zhengtai shook his head: "Brave general, are you also a brave general?" ”
"I'm not, I'm just ......"
"Looks like you're bragging."
Chen Zhengtai looked at Inougami Mita with a smile.
Inugami Mita was so angry that he smoked, but after all, he was engaged in diplomacy, so he still took a deep breath: "I admire the Tang Dynasty in the East and know that this place is a state of etiquette......"
He mean, I thought you were polite, who knew how to be so arrogant.
Chen Zhengtai sighed and said: "There is a saying, it is called to repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with grievances, this gift is for friends, so is your country an enemy, or a friend?" ”
Inougami Mita is originally blunt in Chinese, how can he be compared with Chen Zhengtai?
The reason why Chen Zhengtai lacks virtue is that he plays tricks on weekdays, and when he encounters those imperial histories and Qingliu, he is cowardly, well, he can't play it! But against the dog Mita Yun, it is almost equivalent to punching the kindergarten and kicking the kindergarten, and he suddenly feels that he is extremely majestic.
At this time, he continued: "In the eyes of my Tang Dynasty, the warriors of your country are just local chickens and dogs, don't say whether there are really 500,000, that is, million, three million, it is not worth mentioning. ”
Inugami Mita was already trembling with anger, and he said viciously: "Really? ”
Chen Zhengtai said arrogantly: "I don't know your country's mission, is there a strong general you are talking about?" ”
Inugami Mita is really there, after all, it is the Tang Dynasty in the east, and there are many brave samurai in the mission.
So Inugami Mita sneered: "My country is popular in martial arts competitions, and I am so confident, so ...... You might as well invite your generals to compare, I heard that you have Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, etc., who are good at some sword skills, but I really want to ask for advice. ”
Chen Zhengtai looked at him with a gaze that was almost humiliated, and only after a long time did he say: "Compared with General Qin and General Cheng, you are also worthy?" ”
Inugami Mita kept reminding himself not to get excited, not to get excited.
Chen Zhengtai then said: "I have a few guards and guards guarding the gate for my Chen family here, you can order one at random, let them come and compete with your warriors, if you lose, I should treat you as a guest, but if you win, what should I do?" ”
Inougami Mita sneered and glanced at a few 'guards' around Chen Zhengtai, and his face turned grim!
He could hear that this was a deliberate attempt to humiliate him.
Chen Zhengtai is obviously making a good calculation, and if he wants to overpower the Japanese people, he has to use this method.
The best thing for the Japanese people is to be brave and ruthless, and the domestic samurai are also popular in martial arts, and for those samurai who are swordsmanship, they can't wait to offer these people, which is also the so-called proud capital of Inugami Mita.
Defeat magic with magic to convince people.
As long as it overpowers the Wa Kingdom, this Baekje will become a fish on the board, and obediently accept the conditions of the Tang Dynasty.
