Chapter 285: Whether to go to the Waren Island
(Today's fifth watch, fourth shift)
The most things paid tribute by the country of Qiuci are the most valuable, and they seem to be the most sincere, what night pearls, what sheep fat jade, these are nothing, but the most important thing is the princess of Qiuci country, the pearl of the king of Qiuci.
Since it is so sincere, the Han Dynasty naturally has to have a valuable reward, so Liu Xie rewarded a lot of things. At this time, he understood why there were twenty-three pieces of mutton fat jade and jade pendants in the tribute items of the Guizi Kingdom.
There are twenty-two concubines in his harem, and he is exactly twenty-three, so the country of Qiuzi paid a tribute of twenty-three jade pendants, exactly one for each person.
But this last piece of jade pendant is not for himself, but for the beauty of the Western Regions, Princess Zalinata!
As the saying goes, without contrast, there is no harm. In comparison with the tribute of the Guizi Kingdom, the tribute of the Yamatai Kingdom is particularly shabby, even a joke.
Ten slaves, and ten ugly monsters who are called beauties, Liu Xie wondered, the sea journey was difficult, how could he still bring these twenty burdens and come to Dahan with great hardships not far away?
Forget it, there are still ten rotten pieces of cloth, and they are still called brocade!
Seeing that Liu Xie gave such a rich reward to Qiuzi, the envoy of Yamatai was jealous and greedy. When Liu Xie saw this, he said to Nan Shengmi: "You have also seen that Qiuzi's tribute is so sincere, so I will reward you more." As for you ......"
Liu Xie shook his head and said, "That's all there is to it." ”
It is difficult to lift the rice and bow his head sadly.
Liu Xie asked the palace maid to come over and take Zalinata to the harem, arrange accommodation, and then let people send the Qiuzi envoy Afei Guli to the post house to prepare the reward materials and return.
Now, in addition to the monarchs and ministers in the court, only the envoys of Yamatai, difficult to ascend to rice, and urban cattle are left. Liu Xie asked: "It's hard to promote rice, in addition to paying tribute, what is the purpose of your trip?" ”
Nanshengmi took out a piece of wood from his bosom and said, "I, the king of the Yamatai Kingdom, ask the Han Dynasty to send troops to help the Wa Kingdom repel the Dog Slave Kingdom. ”
Liu Xie asked Xiao Luozi to bring this piece of broken wood that recorded Himiko's handwritten national letter, Liu Xie didn't bother to look at it, and asked, "What is written on it?" ”
Xiao Luozi said: "It is written in two languages, Japanese and Chinese, which means that the dog slave country invaded Yamatai, and Yamatai resisted by force, so I asked the Han to send troops to defend." ”
Liu Xie asked him to put it away and said, "It's very interesting, the dog slave country also came to ask for help, so that I can send troops to the Japanese island." ”
Nansheng Mi exclaimed: "The dog slave country has also come to ask for help, Your Majesty, let them invade our Evil Horse Tai, please Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xie ignored him and continued: "It's a pity that their princess is missing, and the national letter is also taken away by her. I'm still worried, what excuse is it to send troops to the Waren Island, you evil horse platform is good, so I will send a letter of state. Okay, it's hard to get rice, I'll give you an answer now, I've decided to send troops to the island! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate uproar in the court, and many ministers objected, and one of them came out and said, "Your Majesty can't you?" ”
"Why not?" Liu Xie asked.
The minister said: "The sea is far away, and the ocean currents are complicated, so it is difficult to send troops." ”
Immediately afterwards, a large number of ministers began to come out to oppose it, and Liu Xie looked at it, and these people who opposed it had never fought before. There are those who are in favor and those who do not speak.
Seeing that Zhang Liao had been silent, Liu Xie asked, "Wenyuan, what is your opinion?" ”
Zhang Liao said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been supervising the construction of sea ships in Beihai for more than five years, and these ships can go to sea to fight. ”
Liu Xie said: "I asked you if you support fighting at sea? ”
Zhang Liao said: "Weichen supports it, and those who serve as soldiers and generals serve the country." Those who refuse to fight for various reasons, from the perspective of Weichen, are used to a good life and are lazy. ”
Liu Xie nodded and said: "Wen Yuan, what you said is very good, it coincides with Wen Ji, last night, I was at Wen Ji's place, and she also said the same." I wondered if a female streamer had such a conscious sense of being so advanced. But there are many seven-foot men in the court, and they are still afraid of war! ”
Zhang Fei stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, my old Zhang is not afraid of war, Your Majesty, you are telling me to die now, I don't even frown!" ”
Liu Xie said: "I am not a faint king, how can I let you die for no reason?" Look at your nonsense! ”
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, in short, Weichen is ready to be transferred at any time. ”
Other generals and strategists all came out to say that they were not afraid of war, and they could go out at any time after listening to the dispatch.
Liu Xie said: "Very good, they are all my good courtiers." Cai Fuling, let's talk about it. ”
Cai Yan came out and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the concubines think that only when they are still martial arts can they be strong, and they will go to the Waren Island to be famous." The courtiers thought they could do it! First, we can test the strength of our Han Sailors, second, we can increase the combat experience of our Han Sailors, and third, help our neighbors, show the might of our Han Dynasty, and attract the Quartet to the court! Your Majesty......"
"Cai Fu ordered you to continue."
"If the Great Han Sailor goes to the Waren Island, the concubine implores to go on the expedition."
Liu Xie said: "Wen Ji, you are a civil official, and you are a female official, the sea journey is difficult, and it is not suitable to go on the expedition." ”
Cai Yan said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are first of all the people of the Han Dynasty, followed by the Han officials and His Majesty's concubines, the affairs of the Han Dynasty are the affairs of the concubines, and if the concubines do not go in person, they will not be able to truly restore the next movement of Changle Weiyang!" ”
Liu Xie said: "Wen Ji is really the husband of the middle woman, I am impressed." ”
Then Yan'er
Wen Yin, Xiahou Ling, Lu Qiling, as well as Ma Wenlu and Huang Yueying all unanimously requested to play.
Liu Xie said: The generals and strategists have expressed their willingness to fight, and I am very pleased, and the matter of going to the island of the Japanese is so decided! Wenyuan, how many warships can go to sea in the North Sea now? ”
Zhang Liao said: "There are 20 thousand-man warships, 120 100-man warships, and a number of other warships under construction. ”
Liu Xie asked again: "Judging from your experience in supervising the construction of warships, if all these warships go on the expedition, how many soldiers are suitable for loading?" ”
Zhang Liao said, "With all kinds of materials and war horses, it is no problem to be suitable for 50,000 people." ”
One of the ministers asked: "General Zhang, 20 warships with 1,000 people are 20,000 people, and 120 warships with 100 people are 12,000 people, adding up to only 32,000 people. ”
Zhang Liao said: "Have you listened to the clearance? It's a thousand-man warship, not a thousand-man warship! A hundred-man warship is not a hundred-man warship! The largest thousand-man warship can accommodate up to 3,200 people if it does not carry baggage, which is an ideal state, of course, it will not be possible to cross the ocean, but 1,500 people plus part of the baggage, it can still be done! ”
