Chapter 379: The Treaty of Tang and Wamaguan
The sea breeze blew gently on his face, with the unique fishy smell of the sea, Xue Rengui looked at Li Dongsheng, who was sitting on the bow of the boat and kept looking at the paper in his hand, smiling like a fool, and poked Daniel Zhang with his finger with a worried face: "Hou Ye has been like this for several days, what is so good about that treaty, so happy?" ”
Daniel Zhang shook his head: "I don't know, the young master has been like this for several days, and the doctor said that he is fine, but I always feel that something is wrong." Come to the general, you are highly educated and knowledgeable, do you think there is a problem with our young master? ”
Lai Heng also wondered: "I don't understand, I read the treaty signed by the governor, but it is that the Wa State rented a place for us to dock the navy, and there are Tang merchants who can come to the Wa State to do business, and the Tang people who broke the law in the Wa State should be brought back to the Tang Dynasty for punishment, just this last one is a little useful to my Tang people, and the rest are not all things that the Wa people can't ask for, they now want our businessmen to come and do business." ”
"Yes, I went to the place in Shimonoseki just to sign it, and we don't understand what the young master thinks."
The three of them sighed at the same time, shook their heads and went their separate ways.
No one in this era can understand Li Dongsheng's joyful mood, I have been very bullish all day long, but those treaties in history that lost power and humiliated the country were basically signed by him, and it can be said that the first reaction of mentioning treaties in the hearts of the Chinese is to betray the country, that is, to humiliate, that is, to lose face, especially the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which has brought serious harm to China, greatly accelerated the process of China's semi-colonization, and deepened the national crisis.
Therefore, Li Dongsheng used a grenade to scare the prince of Katsuragi, and then put forward a series of conditions, and finally brought them to Maguan County in later generations to sign the "Tang and Maguan Treaty".
The specific content is to write down those things that Japan used to do to China except for the cession of land, and these things are the proof of history, and when students take history classes in the future, they will be proud of this Shimonoseki Treaty, and it can be regarded as his dedication to crossing over.
This treaty will not be officially established until it is stamped with the national seal after returning to Chang'an, but Li Dongsheng believes that Li Shimin will definitely see the benefits of this treaty, and where it will be a springboard or the object of Datang's goods dumping in the future, he will be very happy even if he collects taxes.
"Master Hou, we will arrive in Goguryeo in three days, shall we go to join the army first or move freely?" Lai Heng knew that he had caught Quangai Suwen this time, and Li Dongsheng was added to the rank of knight, so the position of the head of the navy army could no longer keep him, of course he had to show favor at this time, and when he arrived in Chang'an in the future, maybe there would be something to ask him for help.
Li Dongsheng looked at the map and said: "It's been a month, time flies so fast at sea, I don't know if Your Majesty has already returned to Chang'an?" ”
"There is still a city that has not been defeated, why does Your Majesty want to withdraw the army?" Xue Rengui was anxious: "It took such a big price to fight down, so don't you want it like this?" ”
"How could it not be, Your Majesty and the people in the court must already have a way, what do you want to worry about? Now if you have any thoughts about the future, I will mention it to Your Majesty," Li Dongsheng looked at Xue Rengui with a vicissitudes of life and said, "You are not too young, think about it yourself." ”
Xue Rengui nodded: "Master Hou, I will seriously consider this issue." ”
When I arrived at the port, watching the navy continue to move things down, Cheng Chumo, who stayed behind, was in a bad mood, and said with a dark face: "We have known each other for so long, and you don't call me where there is a place to earn military merits, so we have to stay behind, now it's okay, Xue Rengui will soon have an official position than me." ”12
Li Dongsheng glanced at him and said: "Pull it down, the sea is stormy and the waves are strong, and you will die when you go out, you are the prince of the country, how can I let you take this risk, when this war is over, it is estimated that your father will definitely take you back, and he will not let you stay in the army anymore." ”
"I don't go back to Chang'an, I'm used to seeing all the scenery in the world, I feel that Chang'an is like a cage, trapping people inside, how many haven't come out, they don't know how big the outside world is."
"Hehe, I can't help you, how much enjoyment you have in this family, how much responsibility you have to bear, your responsibility is to let the Cheng family spread out and go home to be a stallion obediently."
The two fought for a while, and Li Dongsheng asked about the whereabouts of Li Shimin and the army.
Cheng Chu pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty has already led the army one step ahead, and if you calculate the time, you should be in the country, but you don't know where the station is." ”
"Then we will replenish our supplies now, and we will go after Your Majesty now. His Majesty is already waiting for Quan Gai Suwen and others to be anxious. Li Dongsheng made a quick decision.
Li Dongsheng crossed the sea with a boat and returned to China, and when the warship docked, he found out that it was Laizhou. He proudly said to Daniel Zhang and them: "This is where I started, and now Laizhou must have changed a lot." ”
Today's weather is not good, there is no sun and wind, there is no one on the dock, and I saw a big boat speeding towards the shore from a distance. The lookout on the pier blew the horn, and a large number of soldiers rushed out to stand guard at the pier, but there were a large number of ships here, and it was a naval base, so they did not dare to be careless.
Li Dongsheng went ashore to show his identity, and immediately someone stepped forward to respectfully welcome him to the best house on the dock, and then inquired about Li Shimin's arrival in Dingzhou, he decided to immediately go day and night to chase Li Shimin, and he must hand over Quangai Suwen before he returned to Chang'an, otherwise how could he show this high-level entry style without a heavyweight captive in the city entry ceremony?
At the same time as Li Dongsheng made his decision, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were still discussing this matter, although Pyongyang was defeated in a battle, but governance was a big problem. Judging from the attitude of the people of Goguryeo, they were very uncooperative with the management of the Tang army, and in order to prevent the resurgence of Goguryeo, they moved all the people of Goguryeo to China, and the crying on the road did not touch Li Shimin's heart.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Shimin said, "I don't know what the situation of Li Dongsheng is with the fleet, now that the treasure has been mastered by me, there is only one spring Gai Suwen missing, and this operation will be perfect." ”
"Your Majesty, don't have too much hope, thinking that the vast sea is endless, and trying to catch a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, basically there is no hope." The eldest grandson Wuji is not optimistic about the navy, and the navy can be arrogant at sea with a different name? Is it true that he is a god in the sky who understands everything?
Li Shimin sighed: "I also know that there is not much hope, but when I am older, I want to do things perfectly, this should also be my last personal recruitment, I hope to succeed at one time without leaving any regrets." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't want to talk about this issue anymore, so he changed the topic and said: "Prince Xiande, I know that you have arrived in Dingzhou, and you have been coming to Dingzhou day and night, and I want to welcome you back to Chang'an." ”
