Monobe Taro is not interested in such small things as eating and drinking, and he thinks about military affairs all day long, ignoring the fact that Li You is a foodie.

He was a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, the minister forgot for a while, and asked someone to do it at noon, don't worry, the ingredients must be the freshest, and the cook must be the best." ”

Li You smiled: "It's pretty much the same. ”

Kyo Fujiwara.

Early in the morning, the empress and the eldest brother and the prince began to discuss the problem. The eldest brother of the prince said: "The people of the Tang Dynasty mission have already left Fujiwara-kyo. The Empress asked, "The people of Jushi Dedo have already set out, right?"

"Let's go," said the lieutenant Kamazu, "last night the minister went to the General's Mansion overnight, and General Jushi Dedo had already sent a capable general to carry out the task of intercepting and killing the Tang Dynasty delegation halfway. As soon as there is news, he will come and report it to you. ”

The Empress asked, "That son of his, the great power of Heimaro, don't make any more trouble."

The minister said: "After the minister went, he specially reminded him of this matter. The minister went to the general's mansion overnight, and in order to prevent the giant black maro from participating in this matter, General Jushi Dedo sent someone to surround the house where he lived and tied him up with his own hands. ”

The empress said: "The performance of Jushi Dedo is still remarkable."

The eldest brother said: "Last night, the commander of the navy, Shi Suopo, sent a report that the Tang Army had increased its troops in Osaka Bay. It seems that the information provided by Kazuki Monobe is still accurate. In his report, General Shi Supo mentions a coastal guard captain named Jiro Imai. He and his men, risking their lives, infiltrated the middle of the Don fleet. All the soldiers were killed, and Jiro Imai was seriously wounded, but he stubbornly passed the information back. The minister suggested that he be commended and reported to the whole army. ”

The empress said: "At this time of crisis, it is necessary for the vast number of soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the court. The heroic deeds of these soldiers should be greatly commended. Those soldiers who died in battle should be given generous compensation. It is necessary to set this Imai Jiro as a model for the whole army to follow. ”

Nakatomi Kamazu said: "The minister suggests that the official position of Imai Jiro be promoted by three ranks. ”

The Empress said, "It's too low. Just give him a lieutenant. ”

The eldest brother said: "This is a ninth level in a row!" ”

The empress said, "Not only that, but also give him a knighthood." Just give him an eighth order. ”

It was a system that divided officials into 12 ranks and distinguished them by the color of their crowns. That is, the twelve orders of great virtue, small virtue, great benevolence, small benevolence, great ceremony, small ceremony, great letter, small letter, great righteousness, small righteousness, great wisdom, and small wisdom, each of which uses the color to make the crown hat. According to research, the so-called color refers to the color equivalent to the rank, and there were six colors in the color scale at that time, from top to bottom, purple, blue, red, yellow, white, and black.

The eldest brother said: "Your Majesty is still bold. Erchen believed that once this notice was issued, it would inevitably inspire the great enthusiasm of the officers and men of the whole army to fight bravely to kill the enemy and dedicate themselves to the imperial court. ”

After saying that, he immediately commanded: "Someone! Immediately inform the whole army of His Majesty's decision. ”

The execution of the Japanese people was very strong, and the empress's announcement of Jiro Imai's commendation was quickly conveyed. This incident immediately caused a sensation among the officers and soldiers of the Japanese slave state. At the gates of Fujiwara Palace, some palace guards were talking about it. One of the guards said, "Did you hear that?" The Coast Guard's Imai Jiroji was a lone hero who ventured deep behind enemy lines to obtain important information about the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty rewarded him heavily. This lucky guy was promoted to nine levels in a row, and in addition to being promoted to deputy general, he also became an eighth-order nobleman. What a step! ”

The Japanese slave kingdom was highly hierarchical. Their status is basically unchangeable. If it is a slave, it will be a slave for generations. If it is a commoner, it is almost impossible to become a nobleman,[ www.biqugexx.biz] and the example of Jiro Imai is extremely special, which will naturally make these low-level officers and soldiers very jealous.

A soldier said: "It's useless to be envious, we are palace guards, how can we have the opportunity to go to the front line and make contributions?" ”

The other soldiers said, "Yes! Let's not have the same fate. It's hard for us to stand guard here every day! But there was no credit. ”

One soldier said, "Otherwise, let's apply to go to the front." ”

Many soldiers agreed with this opinion. They all said: "When the captain comes, we will apply to him to go to the front." ”

The soldiers of the Japanese slave country have a ruthlessness in the depths of their personalities. They are so excited, and when they talk, it's like a quarrel. The famous spirit of bushido is a manifestation of this extreme character.

This move by the empress greatly boosted the morale of the entire army of the Japanese slave state. An upsurge of meritorious service has been set off among the vast number of officers and men. At this time, the army of the Japanese slave country became more fierce and powerful.

In the evening, Jushi Dedo finally waited for the news from his men. He personally went to Fujiwara Palace to ask to see Her Majesty the Empress.

in the living room. The empress, the eldest brother, the prince and others gathered around the radio on the table and watched with great interest. It was the first time the empress had seen the radio, and she watched it carefully for a long time, and said curiously: "It's amazing that such a thing can be contacted thousands of miles away." ”

Like a child, the eldest brother stroked the radio station with his hand, fiddling with the electric keys and headphones. He also went out of his way to shake the disc generator. When he saw that the indicator light on the radio flashed because of its power generation, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I really admire Li You, the northwest king of the Tang Dynasty." Not only can this guy write poetry, it is said that he also invented this thing. ”

Jushi Deduo said with emotion: "Your Majesty, this radio station is not easy to come by!" The Flying Tiger Army of the Tang Dynasty was so fierce that it sacrificed the lives of more than 100 Yamato samurai for these radio stations. If it weren't for the Minister of Monobe leading his men to pretend to engage our army and block the Flying Tiger Army's attack on our army, I don't know how many Yamato soldiers would have been sacrificed. ”

The Empress said, "The sacrifice of these soldiers is worth it for the sake of these stations. I will remember their deeds. ”

Nakatomi Kamazu said: "It's great to have these two radio stations. Let's find a skilled craftsman to imitate it immediately. ”

The eldest brother shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not." I asked Kazuki Monobe about this, and he said that there are a lot of things in it, and it's complicated, and I can't figure it out at all. They had tried to imitate it, and the craftsmen said that they could not see that the copper wires were slender and even, and that alone could not be processed. The imitation of the entire radio station is absolutely impossible. ”
