The establishment of the Song army is 500 people to command, set up a commander, a deputy commander, a hundred people to call a capital, set up a capital, a deputy head, the command is the basic formation of the forbidden army, combat, mobilization, and garrison often use this to calculate the strength. Wu Zhi is to take command of the Tianwu Army and the Divine Guard Army this time.

The commander of the Tianwu Army and the commander of the Divine Guard Army also hurried to Wu Zhi's side at this time, and Wu Zhi raised his eyes to see the commander of the Tianwu Army looking dignified, holding a spear in his hand, but there was a crescent moon bent out of the head of the spear, like a sickle. His heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "Commander Xu, but the word is Ning?" He only knew that the commander's surname was Xu, but his name was not inquired in detail.

Commander Xu's face was happy, and he bowed down and said, "Back to the prince's words, the next official is Xu Ning!" ”

Shi Xiu on the side said with a smile: "Lord Wang, what Lord Xu brought is the famous Golden Gun Class in the Tianwu Army, and it can be regarded as the strongest elite in the Forbidden Army!" ”

Xu Ning didn't even dare to say it, but there was a slight color on his face.

Wu Zhi smiled, although the privy envoy An Gongtao was at odds with himself, it seemed that he was not favoritist in military affairs, and he was willing to send the golden gun class out, naturally because he was afraid of weakening the Great Song Guowei. This old man also has a clear distinction between public and private, Wu Zhi said in his heart.

asked the name of the commander of the Divine Guard, called Cheng Ming, black and thin, and also a tough man.

On the blue sea in the distance, the black dots drifting gradually became clear, but there were several small sail boats, in front of which was a small red building boat, the flag hung on it was very strange, and the back boat seemed to be chasing the building boat, looking from a distance, the two sides seemed to be shooting with bows and arrows, and the shouting sound was faintly heard along the sea breeze.

Wu Zhi wondered, "Who is this?" ”

Shi Xiu, Xu Ning, and Cheng Ming all shook their heads, Shi Xiu turned around and called out a master of ceremonies, and the master of ceremonies saw the summons of the prince. hurriedly stepped forward and reported his name respectfully, it was Xu Jing, the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Zhi naturally didn't know if it was according to the historical trajectory. It should be that a few years later, Xu Jing took the two giant ships of "Ding Xinli, Huaiyuan, Kangji Shenzhou" and "Flowing Stream, Comfort and Tongji Shenzhou" to Goryeo. As a result, Goryeo appeared in the grand occasion of "towering the country and cheering and sighing". I inadvertently took the path of others again, but I can't help it.

Xu Jing was familiar with the affairs of the eastern barbarians and listened to the prince's inquiry. Covering his forehead with his hand, he looked at the sailboat in the distance, and after a few glances, he replied respectfully: "Lord Yu, on the other side is the ship of the Eastern Japan, and the boat in the front seems to be the family crest of the Japanese wealthy family Genji, and the place behind it seems to be the family crest of another wealthy family, the Ping clan......"

Wu Zhi frowned: "Japan? Shouldn't it be called Wakoku? "Do you think you should call Japan a Japanese one?

Xu Jing said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the previous dynasties called the Japanese country Waguo, and it was just called the 'and' sound. There is no derogatory meaning, the former Tang Dynasty Emperor thought that the word Japanese was inappropriate, and asked the Tang Emperor to change the Japanese country to Japan, and the Japanese Emperor to the Emperor. To the first emperor of Taizong of this dynasty, he had a good impression of it, and later Ouyang Gong repaired the "New Tang Dynasty Book" and changed it to Japan. ”

Wu Zhi asked, "Ouyang Gong? ”

"It's Mr. Drunkard, Liuyi Layman, the former envoy Ouyang Xiu, Lord Ouyang......" Xu Jing muttered to himself in his heart, the king didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he didn't dare to show it on his face.

Wu Zhi was stunned. Nodding, Ouyang Xiu had still heard of it, and he didn't expect that the name of Japan came like this, let alone that Song Taizong was a friendly person between China and Japan, and it was his old man who justified the name of Japan. I was about to ask again, but I saw that the ships were getting closer and closer, and the red building boat in front seemed to see the Great Song Dynasty flag emblem, urging the sails to sail like arrows.

Xu Jing said: "Lord Wang, do you want to reconcile?" In recent years, I heard that the Taira clan was rising, and the emperor sealed the territory to the eastern part of Japan, and controlled the trade of the Great Song Dynasty of China, and made great profits, but I don't know why the fight started......"

Wu Zhi snorted, stopped Xu Jingxu's babbling words, and said to the left and right: "Pass the order, no one will be left!" Xu Ning and Cheng Ming were slightly stunned, and immediately took the order and left.

Xu Jing was stunned by Wu Zhi's words, and hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, this ...... That doesn't seem right, right? ”

Wu Zhi looked at the several sailboats sailing in the distance with an expressionless face, and said lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Jing opened his mouth and stammered: "Great Song ...... The Great Song Dynasty was the kingdom of the Heavenly Dynasty...... Such oppression of small countries...... Seem...... Inappropriate...... How can you make a side ...... Such acts of banditry ......"

Wu Zhi couldn't help but be furious when he heard him say "banditry acts", and interrupted him with a glare: "How are you doing?" ”

After Wu Zhijing met with the officials, he was always kind and pleasant, and he seemed very approachable, and the officials also felt that your king was peaceful and amiable. At this time, his true form was revealed under the anger, and his knife-like eyes stared at Xu Jing fiercely, Xu Jing's heart was beating violently when he was seen by Wu Zhi, and his knees were unconsciously weak, and he actually knelt on the deck: "Xiaguan...... The lower officials didn't dare to ......" in front of Wu Zhi's might. I was so shocked that I didn't even know what I was talking about.

Wu Zhi snorted, thinking of how people in this era knew about the unforgettable hatred after nearly a thousand years, in their minds, Japan was just a small barbarian country learning Chinese etiquette, and his current performance was not only the ancient version of "great power chauvinism", but also the "bandit" color of the Western powers in the early nineteenth century.

Wu Zhi couldn't help but think of this, and glanced at Xu Jing who was trembling, "Get up, this king has his own intentions!" "What is the purpose? It's just a vent of personal anger, and it was hard to get an opportunity, how could Wu Zhi miss it.

Xu Jing's heart was relieved, he slowly got up from the deck, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and suddenly remembered your king's elusive methods, and couldn't help but regret it for a while, thinking that your king's move must have a deep meaning, how could he be as far-sighted as your king, and nag nonsense beside him, seeing that your king was angry, saying that it was possible to take off his head, and it would be more troublesome in the future. It is a small matter to make your king angry, and if you spoil your king's plan, you can't afford it.

At this time, the small boats had already sailed to the front of the Great Song Dynasty, and some people on the Red Mansion boat in the front were screaming, and the tone was full of joy, and the small boats chasing behind were rowing even more desperately, and it seemed that they were very afraid that the Red Mansion Boat would approach the Great Song Dynasty. The bows and arrows on both sides were more dense, and from time to time someone screamed when they were hit by an arrow.

Cheng Ming glanced at the noble king who ignored a few boats, and saw that the noble king had no intention of repenting, so he waved his hand. The gong sounded loudly, and countless crossbow arrows suddenly flew out like locusts in the Great Song fleet, and the power of the divine arm crossbow was so strong. Arrows flew out in a dense manner. The bolts pierced the boats with a whistling sound that broke through the air. In a hurry, the people on the boat were not prepared for the Song people to suddenly attack, and there were bursts of screams. The Japanese fell to the ground one after another.

After three rounds of arrow rain, several small boats were already like hedgehogs, covered with crossbow arrows, and dozens of Japanese people were lying in pools of blood. The small red building ship at the front was the closest to the Great Song fleet, and the thin wooden wall of the attic could not stop the powerful shooting of the divine arm crossbow at all, and it was shot like a sieve, and there were holes everywhere. If you want to come inside, the people can't live~

Wu Zhi nodded slightly, it seems that the Divine Guard Army is also an elite, and most of the crossbow arrows are shot by the Divine Guard, after all, as a naval army, in addition to good water quality, it is the accurate head and arm strength of the crossbow arrows, and hand-to-hand combat is secondary, but Xu Ning's golden gun squad is good at foot combat, and the control of crossbow arrows is not as far as that of the Divine Guard. In the rain of arrows, only a few crossbow arrows missed and fell into the sea, and the rest hit the enemy ships. Although it is due to the close distance, it is rare to be so accurate.

instructed Cheng Mingdao: "Get on the boat and investigate, and then pick up the crossbow arrows that can be used!" "These crossbow arrows are used one less than one branch, and there is no place to supply them when they arrive in Goryeo, so of course they can't be wasted.

Cheng Ming responded to the order, whistled, dozens of men went to the armor, jumped into the sea, and swam to the Japanese boat, and saw that in the turquoise sea water, a man swimming in the front, revealing a white flesh, as flexible as a loach, stirred up waves and flowers, which was eye-catching.

Wu Zhi pointed at the man and exclaimed, "What a man! It's so watery! ”

Cheng Ming said with a smile: "This person has a nickname, called 'White Jump in the Waves', the best water in the Divine Guard Army, only because of his short temper and repeated offended the officer, he was not allowed to be rewarded, and he was still a soldier after three years in the army." ”

Wu Zhi nodded slightly, and said in his heart that it was 'white jumping in the waves' Zhang Shun, no wonder it was so good. Hearing Cheng Ming's straightforward speech, he felt a little good, and said with a smile: "Have I ever offended you?" ”

Cheng Ming was so happy with Zhang Shun that he couldn't be promoted, so he heard the king ask, and he couldn't help but smooth the words he talked about in private on weekdays. When he said it, he regretted it in his heart, and when he heard the king laughing, he couldn't help but blush, and said in a low voice: "The villain lost his words......"

Wu Zhi smiled and said nothing, it seems that he is a sincere person, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't tease.

In the sound of the waves, Zhang Shun and others boarded the boat and got busy, several soldiers entered the attic of the red building, and after a while, they suddenly heard a few screams from the attic, and then ran out of a sergeant and shouted: "There is still life inside!" ”

Wu Zhifang wanted to give the order to be killed, but he heard the sergeant shout again: "One girl, one maid......"

Wu Zhi pondered for a while, and saw Xu Jing staring at himself nervously with wide eyes beside him, knowing that if he ordered to be killed, he would inevitably have a reputation as a "murderous demon", and he was not so cruel, since the other party escaped with his life, he should not stop telling fortunes, and it is good to ask about the current situation in Japan, although Japan is not worth mentioning now, but there is a hatred of Japan after a thousand years, and it is inevitable to pay attention to this country.

Thinking about this, I immediately ordered to go down and bring people over.

Xu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, after all, those big men with knives and guns were killed, these people were fierce people, and the general would inevitably die in battle, although Xu Jing couldn't bear it, he had to listen to it. But if he ordered the killing of women and children in vain, Xu Jing would never approve of it. China's thousand-year-old ceremonial state, especially in the Song Dynasty, the literati ruled the country, and those peaceful ideas of governing the world were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they attached great importance to human life.

The red boat was rowed over by the sailors, leaning on the bow of the Shenzhou boat, and someone picked up the two widows on the boat and brought them to Wu Zhi.

The sergeant ran over and knelt down and said, "Lord Wang! There were only two women alive in the attic, who looked like they were identified, and several guards killed them for blocking crossbow arrows......"

Wu Zhi nodded, looking at the second daughter coldly, the two of them served similar to the Tang Dynasty Song costume, the slight difference is that it is slightly looser, the woman in front is seventeen or eighteen years old, the maid is dressed up, and the girl in the back is also seven or eight years old, rushing to the sky, with a light red skirt, bright big eyes and vicious eyes looking at Wu Zhi, which made Wu Zhi laugh for a while.

Wu Zhi wanted to ask Xu Jing why Japanese people don't wear kimonos, but it was useless to ask, and he made people laugh. I guess it's not enough to wear a kimono yet.

Wu Zhi was thinking wildly, and the girl suddenly shouted at Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi was stunned. I remembered that there was no one on the ship who knew Japanese, and it was really useless to bring them here.

Frowning. How do you send them? Raising his eyes and seeing Xu Jing's embarrassed face, Wu Zhi's heart moved, and he asked, "Can Lord Xu understand the Japanese language?" ”

Xu Jing smiled bitterly and nodded. "The minister knows a thing or two, and a simple conversation is still possible......"

Wu Zhi smiled: "Lord Xu is talented! He only knew that Xu Jing knew the Goryeo language, and he didn't expect to know Japanese, in this era, but it was a rare talent, no wonder the first official mentioned in the imperial brother's will was Xu Jing.

Xu Jing shook his head again and again: "I just know some barbarian language, and what kind of talent can I call it." The prince has won the prize. ”

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Lord Xu, let's explain to this king what this little girl is talking about." ”

Xu Jing's face was embarrassed, and he stood up: "This ...... This one...... The lower officials didn't dare to say ......"

Wu Zhi frowned and said: "This king likes to be clean and neat, so you can say it!" ”

Xu Jing paused and said in a low voice: "The girl said that the adult is not a Song person, but a ...... It's a robber......" said with a slight shame on his face, thinking that he remembered that he had killed dozens of people for no reason, and he felt deeply sorry.

Wu Zhi smiled: "Who are you?" Why did those men hunt them down? ”

Xu Jing turned his head and muttered a few words to the girl, who kept staring at Wu Zhi with big eyes without blinking. It seems that he can't hear Xu Jing's questioning,

Wu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Take the girl down and leave the maid for questioning." The girl seemed to understand what Wu Zhi meant, and she was not stubborn, she didn't wait for the soldier to come and pull her, and after looking at Wu Zhi a few times, she followed behind the soldier. Before leaving, he said a few words to the maid.

Xu Jing didn't wait for Wu Zhi's questioning, and had already explained: "The girl warned the maid not to talk nonsense. ”

Wu Zhi smiled dumbly, this kid seems to be too elf, right?

Wu Zhi looked the maid up and down a few times, and said to her with a fierce voice: "Tell me your identity and origin clearly, if you dare to have half a lie, cut you to make meat sauce!" Then he turned to Xu Jing and said, "Tell her what I said." ”

Xu Jing didn't dare to slack off, and honestly translated Wu Zhi's words into Japanese language, but his tone was gentle, which was quite out of step with Wu Zhi's murderous language.

Maybe it was the soft knife that was more terrifying, Xu Jing said the scary cruel words slowly, but the handmaid was so frightened that she lost her face, prostrate on the ground, her body trembled, and she spoke in a trembling voice.

Japan at this time is the reign of Emperor Dihe, but it is his father Emperor Shirakawa who controls the government, although the country of Japan is small, but it is intricate, in short, it can be called each "family" of the political group, that is, the emperor, can also be regarded as the emperor family, a few decades ago was the strongest place of the Fujiwara family, and even controlled the emperor, a few years ago, Emperor Shirakawa enabled the two major families of the Genji and the Peace family, and worked hard to finally defeat the Fujiwara family, the Genji family and the peace family are also known as the most powerful wealthy families in Japan. Both families had samurai regiments, with the Minamoto family supported by the Togoku (eastern Japan) samurai and the Heike supported by the Nishikoku (western Japan) samurai clan. At this point, Japan's samurai group initially appeared on the stage.

Today, Japan can be said to be the emperor of heaven, the Taira family is the most powerful, and then the Genji family and the declining Fujiwara family. The three major families often fought in private.

The eight-year-old child is the youngest daughter of the Genji family, the head of the Genji family, Gen Chibazi, the Genyi family is brave and good at fighting, known as "Hachiman Taro", and he is a daughter when he is old, and he loves it very much. Chibazi has been smart since he was a child, and he likes to play around, this time he was escorted by his retainers to the West Kingdom Daming Temple to enter the incense, and he didn't want the Ping family to send a samurai to chase and kill, so he had no choice but to flee into the deep sea, but the other party chased after him, and then he met Takeshi's fleet.

The maid told the story slowly, Xu Jing explained on the side, Wu Zhi finally got a rough idea, and couldn't help but worry about how to send these two women, seeing that the chart is not far from Japan, but you can't send the two to Japan, don't delay the time, and I don't have that leisure. It's a hundred to kill, but there are some unreasonable, it seems that the only way to do this is to bring the two of them first, and then think about countermeasures later. It's not a bad thing to have a lady from a big Japanese family in your hands.

Xu Jing said in a low voice: "Could it be that the prince wants to lure the tiger to drive the wolf?" Led Japan and Liao to fight? He thought about it for a long time. I couldn't think of what Wu Zhi's intention was in killing these people, so I couldn't help but ask.

Wu Zhi was almost by him, not to mention that Liao and Japan were far apart, and navigation was quite underdeveloped at this time. It is impossible for the two countries to fight, and even if they could, it would be the size of Japan's population. That's a little bit of troops. It's not enough to stuff Liao's teeth, I really don't know how Xu Jing has such a wonderful idea. said lightly: "Don't guess!" "His face was already a little unhappy.

Xu Jing couldn't wait to give himself a mouth, and forgot the pain after the scar was healed. It's just a moment when I go to talk more, forget it, I don't want to think about it, I just killed a few barbarians, why do I want to do so much.

Wu Zhi suddenly thought of something and asked Xu Jingdao: "Why did the ships of the Fang Caiyuan family cheer when they saw my Great Song fleet?" ”

Xu Jing said: "I thought it was because I saw the flag of the Heavenly Empire, and I thought that I would be saved...... I didn't dare to say the following words directly. With the Great Song Dynasty habitually falling, he will save Genji, and will not allow this kind of robber evil to happen, who would have thought that he would meet the Great Song Guiwang who was more robber than the robber, and without saying a word, he would kill both sides cleanly.

At that time, the degree of civilization of the Great Song Dynasty, economy, culture, science and technology, etc., were far ahead of the world, and the small barbarian countries respected the "Song people" very much, and Zhou Feng of the Song Dynasty recorded in the "Qingbo Magazine": "The Japanese country is floating on the territory in a boat, and there are three or twenty people in a line. The woman was sent out. When you meet the people of Zhongzhou, you will choose the best person to recommend the bed, and the name is 'degree species'".

This record says that when a Japanese woman came to the Great Song Dynasty, she would take the initiative to dedicate herself to the beautiful men of the Song Dynasty, with the purpose of giving birth to offspring to improve the Japanese race.

From these records, we can see the status of the "Song people" in the minds of the Japanese.

Wu Zhi didn't know those allusions, but he understood what Xu Jing meant, laughed dryly, and remembered that the girl said that she was "not a Song person, but a robber", and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, as if she had smeared the "Song people"? Thinking of the evil deeds of the island country hundreds of years later, he snorted coldly, and the guilt in his heart disappeared.

Putting aside the distractions, the order set sail, the fleet slowly split the waves, and headed northeast.

It is getting closer to Goryeo, and according to the sailors, there are still three or two days to get to the port of Goryeo Yeesung.

In the elegantly decorated shipbuilding, Wu Zhi summoned Li An and asked in detail about the customs of Goryeo, the hobbies of the princes and the king of Goryeo, temperament, etc., and Li An knew everything and said everything.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and then Shi Xiu walked in and said, "Lord, the girl of the Japanese Kingdom wants to see you......"

Wu Zhiqi said: "Can you understand the Japanese language? The second daughter was placed under house arrest in a cabin, and Shi Xiu was responsible for delivering food to the second daughter every day.

Shi Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't understand, but the subordinates of that girl understand it." ”

Wu Zhi let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "Take me to see." ”

Minamoto Chibako and the maid Minamoto Nako live in the cabin soft carpet on the floor, hanging a few landscape pictures on the wall, although the place is not big, but it is also clean and elegant.

Chibazi was very hostile to Takeshi, and sat on a chair and stared at Takeshi fiercely. Nako had already cowered and stood aside, and the ages of one master and one servant seemed to be reversed.

Wu Zhi sat down with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Miss Xiaoyezi, is there something to do with me?" Feng Yilang Xu Jing's current identity is "general translation", and he is translating for the two of them.

Chibazi didn't speak, and gently handed a page of paper to Xu Jing's hand.

Wu Zhi looked at this child with a smile, with a small face carved in pink, big shining eyes, and a light red dress that stood up to the sky, looking very cute, but her eyes were full of hatred, but she was only seven or eight years old, so she naturally couldn't show that kind of unforgettable hatred, but it was like a child who had been bullied, and she ignored herself viciously.

Xu Jing picked up the paper and read it a few times, and said softly to Wu Zhi: "It's asking why we killed people for no reason, and who are we?" Why are you pretending to be Song people, and where do you want to take them? ”

Wu Zhi was short of breath for a while, why did he pretend to be a "Song person", can't the Song people kill people? Some of the old men were ashamed and angry, put the tea on the table, glanced at Xu Jing, turned around and walked out. Xu Jing hurriedly followed, of course, before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to his second daughter.

Naiko watched the two walk out, ran over and plugged in the door, and said to Chibazi with some anxiety: "Miss, don't annoy them, they are robbers who kill people without blinking......"

Chibazi stiffened her face and didn't speak.

After being quiet for a long time, Naiko suddenly said, "Miss, maybe they are really Song people......"

Chibazi frowned: "No! Dad said that the Great Song Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the Song people are the most reasonable, and also said that his favorite country is the Great Song Dynasty, and often sighs why he is not a Song person, these robbers are definitely not Song people! ”

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Naiko sighed and didn't say more, but muttered in her heart, if it weren't for the Song people, how could there be such a huge ship, and only the Song Kingdom could build such a tall and majestic building ship!
