Chapter 568: The Tokugawa Family Visits

In Qu County, Li Chen is busy in the official office. Great Qin needed fresh blood, so this time to conquer Ryukyu and Fuso, Gao Fei did not intend to command it personally, but chose to sit in the rear.

But as soon as he suddenly sat in the rear, Gao Fei realized that it was not much easier to sit in the rear than in the front. The mobilization of more than 100,000 people and the logistical supply of grain and grass required are enough to keep people's busy feet on the ground.

So at the same time, outside Qu County.

A group of Fusang people wearing Daqin costumes stood outside the city, they were coming to Qu County for the first time, standing outside the city and looking at the prosperous Qu County.

Since Li Chen established a seaport in Qu County, Qu County can be said to be developing rapidly. Although today's Qu County is far worse than Xianyang, it can also rank in the top ten in the whole Daqin in terms of prosperity.

The seaport has driven the development of the entire Qu County, and the caravans that come and go, and the fleets that continue to go to sea, are all transfusing blood for Daqin, and Qu County, as the closest city to the seaport, is naturally the first to enjoy the benefits brought by the seaport.

"Is this just a county seat in Daqin?" In the crowd, a veiled woman exclaimed.

Qu County is no longer the same as it was a few years ago, in order to accommodate the growing population and meet the needs of caravans. Qu County has been completely rebuilt, and the area of Qu County has increased by about three times compared to today's Qu County. And the city wall has also changed from the original short earthen city wall to the current cement city wall with five or six zhang.

Standing under the city wall more than ten meters high and nearly twenty meters high, people seem too small, especially standing under the city wall, and they are relatively short Fuso people.

The person who came was the messenger of the Tokugawa family, and the woman headed by him was the pearl of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Imaku. Since the decision was made to dedicate the Qingyu Pill to Daqin in exchange for a chance to armistice, Tokugawa Ikong began to secretly plan to go to Qu County.

Why is it a secret plan, because now under the onslaught of the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate, in order to preserve the interests of Fuso, the Tokugawa Shogunate has given up the right to control the sea and shrunk its forces to the land.

It was precisely because they had lost their control of the sea that they were able to leave Fuso without alarming the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate, and they made a lot of preparations, but also delayed a lot of time.

Walking into the city, the whole city is also prosperous. Outside the city is a concrete road, while inside the city is a smoother bluestone pavement. On both sides of the road are all kinds of merchants, looking at such a prosperous street, Tokugawa Ikong couldn't help but sigh: "Daqin is really too prosperous, a city of this scale is the strength of my Tokugawa family, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to build." ”

Although Tokugawa Ikong is the pearl of the Tokugawa family, as a woman, she has never been to Daqin. After all, this is ancient times, and most of the things that show their heads are done by men. This time, the reason why she was sent to meet Li Chen was because the Tokugawa family had some special meanings in it.

The Tokugawa family had a secret stronghold in Qu County, after all, they were also trading with Daqin. It was only after the three shogunates of Fuso went to war and Daqin expressed his support for the Kamakura shogunate and the Muromachi shogunate that the deal with the Tokugawa shogunate was severed.

Return to the Tokugawa family's stronghold in Shu Prefecture and take a short rest. Tokugawa Ikong said to a middle-aged man: "Okamoto Lingshan, you go to the generalissimo to deliver the post." Remember, no matter what, we have to find a way to get the Generalissimo to meet us as soon as possible. ”

"Yes." A middle-aged man named Okamoto Ridge Mountain bowed in response.

At noon, Li Chen, who had been handling military affairs until midnight last night, was a little sleepy, so he leaned on his seat and took a nap.

Okamoto Lingshan came to the Yamen, and it was Du Bishu who received him. Li Chen was resting, and Du Bishu naturally captured this little barbarian envoy to disturb him.

"This is Lord Du, below is the Okamoto Ridge Mountain from the Tokugawa family, after a long absence, Lord Du is the right-hand man of the generalissimo, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." Okamoto Ryozan was able to be sent by Tokugawa Isora to deliver the post, apparently a sleek person. Other kung fu may not be very good, but this kung fu is first-class.

"No, no, the generalissimo's ministers are like clouds, and the fierce generals are like rain, where to take on the right hand and right." Du Bishu said modestly.

Okamoto Lingshan is also an old licking dog, and before Du Bishu's voice fell, he immediately said: "Dang, dang." This Qu County has been able to develop to this day, and Lord Nadu can be said to have made great contributions. This credit is second to none among so many capable generals under the command of the Generalissimo. ”

"Drink tea, drink tea." Du Bishu pointed to the tea in front of Okamoto Lingshan and said, "You are so good at talking, so you might as well say more."

The mouth work of Okamoto Ridge Mountain is very good, and Du Bishu is quite comfortable being licked, and this attitude is much more relaxed than at the beginning.

"Master Du, when will I be able to see the generalissimo." Okamoto Lingshan felt that he had almost licked it, so he asked tentatively towards Du Bishu.

Du Bishu naturally wouldn't tell him everything just because he was licked a few words by Okamoto Lingshan. So he said ambiguously: "The generalissimo now has important military affairs to deal with, and after this military affairs are handled, he will naturally meet you." ”

"This is nature, military affairs are important, military affairs are important." Okamoto Lingshan hurriedly echoed.

Great Qin is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and Fusang is a small barbarian country. In Okamoto Lingshan's view, as a Fusang person, it is natural that he should maintain the humility he should have when facing the Qin people. Not to mention that Li Chen was the generalissimo of the Great Qin Soldiers and Horses, and he was just an official of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Wait, and you have to wait willingly. The purpose of Okamoto Ridge Mountain is very clear, if you can see Li Chen before dark, it will be considered a victory, of course, if you can't see it today, it's not impossible to see you tomorrow.

In short, for Okamoto Lingshan, the Great Qin people are fathers, and Li Chen is the only person who can save the Tokugawa shogunate now.

Of course, Du Bishu didn't let Okamoto Lingshan really wait long. The key is that there is not so much spare time to spend with him, and the reason why he is waiting here is nothing more than not wanting him to disturb Li Chen's rest.

After waiting for about half an hour, the tea in the bowl was changed several times, and Du Bishu estimated that Li Chen should have woken up.

Du Bishu drank the tea in the bowl, and then said to Okamoto Lingshan: "You wait here first, I'll go and see if the big element has finished handling military affairs." ”

Hearing that Du Bishu took the initiative to help him investigate the situation, this moved Okamoto Lingshan's heart, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Du." ”

It's just that Okamoto Lingshan didn't know that Li Chen was just exploring military affairs with Zhou Gong.
