Chapter 116: The Royal Family Comes
Three days later, the fleet hoisted its sails and continued to sail eastward, along the coast. The Japanese people on the deck kept howling at the shoreline, making these ships just like theirs. If Chen Fei hadn't sent someone to beat them secretly, I'm afraid I would have to endure their howls for the next few days.
The current capital of the Wa Kingdom is in Heikyo City, which is later known as Nara. is a city located on the island. The Tang fleet had to land on the coastline near Wakayama before marching to Nara.
But...... Chen Fei didn't plan to walk to Nara, he planned to station the fleet in Wakayama, and then ...... Waiting for the Emperor of Japan to come and see him in Wakayama.
That's right, as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally wants to put on the shelf of a strong country. Let me go see you? Don't think about it so much, you Japanese people are not qualified! Reasonable? I'm sorry, but I only brought gunpowder weapons this time, and I didn't plan to reason with you.
On the fifth day, the fleet arrived on the coast of Wakayama. After the ship docked, Chen Fei released two envoys from the Japanese kingdom and asked them to report to the Japanese emperor and come here to meet him.
After kicking away the two envoys, Chen Fei asked people to be stationed on the spot and build a military camp. Regardless of whether it is a war or a subjugation in the future, the Tang army needs a foothold. Relying on the fleet of the coastline as the foothold, it is undoubtedly the best choice to attack and retreat.
Datang's fleet docked at the seashore, which soon aroused onlookers from the Japanese people. The fleet of the Don Army was simply too dazzling. Hundreds of huge ships docked on the shore, flags covered the sky, lined up for hundreds of miles, majestic, these Japanese people have never seen such a shocking scene, standing on the shore are all demented.
And the soldiers of the Tang Army were tall and mighty, wearing bright bright armor, and patrolling the shore with great force, which made these short and tattered Japanese people envious.
I have the impression that their most powerful local general does not have such good armor, and in this army, it is just the standard for each person! The huge gap shocked the Wa Kingdom and lamented the strength of the Tang Dynasty. So as to increase the respect for the Tang people. Whenever a Tang soldier spoke, they all nodded and bowed to do it, and the most important thing was ...... Gratis!
There are even Japanese people who send their daughters to the Tang military camp and ask the soldiers to accept them. If it weren't for Chen Fei's strict requirements for soldiers, I am afraid that this group of "beasts" would not be able to resist rushing forward...... Although everyone is voluntary.
While the Tang army was stationed on the coast waiting for a message from the Japanese imperial family, some generals and gentlemen near Wakayama were very uneasy about the arrival of the Tang army.
With such a powerful army stationed in their own territory, I'm afraid that anyone else will be uneasy, right?
However, they watched for a few days and found that the Tang army was stationed on the beach without any movement, and they gradually relaxed their minds.
After the mind is settled, it will naturally give birth to some different thoughts. Beginning on the third day, generals continued to come to the barracks in person, asking to meet with the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.
By the way, the country of Wa is really a very chaotic country. What kind of chaos is it? The most powerful man in their country was not the emperor, but the great shogun.
Well, here is a little bit of an explanation, the so-called Great General is definitely not the miscellaneous fish generals who are now standing outside the camp waiting to meet Chen Fei. Rather, it is the one who has the strongest army in the country.
The emperor was only a symbol in the Wakoku Kingdom, but he did not have much real power. Similar to a puppet emperor. The most powerful is the great shogun who controls the emperor and wields military power.
And what...... This great general is not yet firmly seated. How do you get the position of Great General? Very simple! You can kill the previous general and get the emperor's canonization.
It's as simple and crude as that.
Therefore, if you take a brief look at the history of the Wakoku Kingdom, you will find that the inheritance of the emperor has never been broken, but the history of the Wakoku has been divided into several eras, such as the Shogunate period, the Edo period, etc., and the shogun was the supreme power of the shogunate era.
The current Wa Kingdom had just undergone the Taika Revolution more than a decade ago, and it was a time when the power of the emperor was consolidated and the foreign generals were assassinated and weakened. It was precisely because General Su Irilu, who was originally in control of the imperial family, was assassinated and the position of the general became vacant, so the warlord generals from all over the country were eyeing the position of the general. They all want to take advantage of the chaos to attack Pingjing City and share a piece of the power.
At this time, the Datang fleet led by Chen Fei appeared. The imposing fleet shocked those junior generals, but at the same time, it also gave them hope - the hope of re-suppressing the royal family and holding the power!
As long as you can get the assistance of the Tang Army, what royal family, what Zhongchen Kamakus, I'm bah! Don't you all have to kneel down and sing conquest to me?
With this in mind, they came to the outside of the camp to ask to meet Chen Fei, hoping to get his help and send troops to level the capital.
Chen Fei briefly understood the situation of some Japanese countries, and naturally understood the thoughts of these people.
After thinking about it, he decided to meet the generals. Because, let them launch a coup d'état...... It seems like it's okay!
So Chen Fei set up a camp tent and took his generals and his children to meet with the generals who came to visit.
Of course, they all met one by one, otherwise the other party would come together in a group, and I am afraid that they would quarrel first without talking about anything.
Chen Fei's idea was simple: if the emperor and the chief minister, Kamadashi, refused his request, then he would use force. However, the Wa Kingdom is far away from the Tang Dynasty, and it is not so convenient to control, so the best way is to support a puppet regime first, and then use addictive drugs to slowly figure it out.
When meeting with several generals, Chen Fei mentioned addictive drugs, and infinitely magnified the effects of addictive drugs.
For example, after eating, one can beat ten, and you can make ten girls flutter at night. The generals who listened scratched their ears and cheeks, and were excited, if it weren't for the huge difference in strength, I'm afraid they would have sent troops to snatch the addiction drug now.
Of course, in the face of absolute force, no matter how fierce the wolf is, he has to pick up his tail and obediently learn to bark. These generals and nobles had a lot of respect for Chen Fei.
Chen Fei met with a few generals, and anyway, the conditions he put forward could be accepted by several people, and when the time came, he only needed to choose a relatively easy to control person to help him take the position. Of course, the premise is that the royal family of the Wa Kingdom is disobedient. If they are willing to obediently surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Chen Fei is still willing to solve the problem in a peaceful way.
After waiting in the barracks for another three days, a samurai team of more than 3,000 people set out from Heikyo City to Wakayama.
By the time they entered Wakayama and came outside the Tang army camp, another five days had passed.
However, the arrival of this team immediately attracted the attention of many local people. Both the common people and the local gentry and the powerful have their eyes on this team, because the flags planted in this team represent ...... Nakatomi Kamazu!
