Chapter 473: The Battle of the Imperial Court of the Japanese Kingdom

"Of course, the first thing we did in Saga Town was to clean up the robbers around us, and now there are not many robbers around Saga Town, and then we have to do something to benefit the people of Saga Town, and agree to let the people near Saga Town open mines, and it is also very important to pay for the opening of schools to educate the local people, but these things are not in a hurry, and now the top priority is to help the people of Saga Town fight drought and disaster relief, as long as we do this thing well, we will gain a firm foothold in Saga Town?"

"Aren't these things done by the government?" Wang Tianxing immediately interjected.

Although Zhen Qian now occupies the Wufeng Islands, he will definitely have frequent contacts with Hizen Province, or Saikaido, or even the entire Wa Kingdom in the future.

Zhen Jiu immediately sneered: "It's a good matter of the government, but if we want to live in Saga Town for a long time, we have to have a good relationship with the local Japanese people, which is similar to some families in the Tang Dynasty building bridges and paving roads in the local area, and what we have accumulated is the reputation of the family, we are considered outsiders, and we will definitely be rejected by the local natives, they will think that the benefits are all occupied by us, and there will be resentment in our hearts, and it is certain to secretly restrain us, so we have to do some good deeds, so that these natives can reduce our hostility!" ”

"Oops! When did Lao Jiu become smarter, how could the words in my heart be said by you! Wang Tianxing said very shamelessly.

Zhen Jiu can say such a thing, and Zhen Qian is relieved to hand over the affairs of the Wa Kingdom to Zhen Jiu.

"This summer's drought is a very good opportunity for us, there is no shortage of water around Saga Town, what is lacking is that there is no reasonable irrigation system, these things have not been thought of doing before, we can just mobilize the people affected by the disaster to do these things, even if it costs a little money, it doesn't matter if we do this, we will bring Yamamoto Isoroku and Toyotomi Hideyoshi together, with the two of them here, the resistance of the locals is a little lower?"

"Master, can these two widows fully believe it?" Zhen Jiu asked.

Although Yamamoto Fifty-six and Toyotomi Hideyoshi are Zhen Qian's dead soldiers, Zhen Jiu and Wang Tianxing do not have the idea of treating them equally, and they do not fully trust the two.

"Don't worry about this, the relatives of these two people are already on their way to Hizen Country, and their relatives will be sent to the Wufeng Islands as soon as they arrive, and they can hand over some less important things to the two of them in ......the future."

In this era, it is a big joke to talk about equality for everyone, and the Tang people are the only superior people in this era.

Zhen Qian didn't believe in the Japanese people from the bottom of his bones, but if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Japanese country, he had to deal with different Japanese people, and even kept Shao Er Dongshang's daughter Aoi Ji by his side, which had nothing to do with trust.

The combined population of the entire town of Saga did not exceed 20,000, and the total population of Hizen Province plus slaves was less than 200,000, which doomed the town of Saga to an extreme shortage of labor.

After hearing that Zhen Qian was going to pay for the repair of the canal to fight drought and disaster relief, Saga Town was quite in a wait-and-see mood, and he didn't know what Zhen Qian was going to do, and few people responded. However, Zhen Qian didn't expect to get the support of these locals at the beginning, after all, he was an outsider, so it was very normal for this situation to occur.

Light smoke and Aoi Hime quietly came to Saga Town, the two of them did not dare to show up in Matsuura Castle for fear of being recognized by others, but in Saga Town there were no such concerns.

Listening to Fujiwara Shuxiong, the emperor of the Japanese kingdom and Da Nayan have been arguing about whether to send the prince to the Tang Dynasty to study, mainly because there is no precedent before the Japanese state, and they are also worried that the prince will have an accident on the way to the Tang Dynasty?

This time the Tang envoy encountered a storm on the way back to China, Fujiwara Qinghe and Kibi Zhenbei The whereabouts of the two Tang envoys are now unknown, plus they went to the Tang Dynasty to study in advance, and Abe Nakamaro, who became the Tang Dynasty envoy this time, also did not know whether to live or die, so that the Japanese court had different opinions on whether to continue to send the Japanese to the Tang Dynasty.

However, neither the Emperor nor Zhen Qian knew that at this time, there was an envoy to the Tang Dynasty who had arrived on Tanegashima, and this person was the immortal deputy envoy to the Tang Dynasty, Kibi Zhenbei.

After Kibi Shinbei encountered a storm at sea, the others were separated, and the ship he was on was severely damaged, and he went with the waves on the sea, and a month later miraculously drifted to Tanegashima. At this time, Kibi Shinbei was extremely weak, and he recuperated on Tanegashima for more than half a month, and then took a fishing boat to Kyoto, and when he arrived in Kyoto, it had been more than two months since he encountered a storm at sea.

Before Kibi Shinbei arrived in Kyoto, he did not know how many people in the Tang mission survived, but when he returned to Kyoto, he was immediately received by Emperor Koken, and after talking, he was named Dazai Daiji, and the official residence was under the fourth grade, and it became hot for a while.

However, Fujiwara Kiyokawa, who was the envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and Abe Nakamaro, who was the envoy to the Tang Dynasty, did not have such good luck.

Because Kibi Shinbei was dissatisfied with Abe Nakamaro's moderate proposition, and did not sit in the same boat with Fujiwara Kiyohe, after encountering a storm in the Ryukyu Sea, the ship encountered another headwind attack at sea, and after drifting for more than two months, he actually arrived in Annan's Suzhou, and was just about to go ashore to return to Datang Guangzhou, but was attacked by the local natives again, most of the crew on board died, and in the end, only Fujiwara Kiyokawa and Abe Nakamaro survived and returned to Datang, which has been nearly four months. Two years later, when he was about to return to the Wa Kingdom again, the Anshi Rebellion broke out and he had to stay in Datang, and finally died in Datang.

Compared with the encounter between Fujiwara Kiyokawa and Abe Nakamaro, Kibi Shinbei was lucky, and when he returned to China, he heard about Zhen Qian and Fujiwara Shuxiong in Hizen Country, and expressed indignation at the Shaoji Dongshang's attack on Fujiwara Shuxiong at the same time, but also expressed strong opposition to Fujiwara Shuxiong's occupation of Hizen Country, but was defended by Fujiwara Nakamaro, and the relationship between the two gradually turned into hostility and disagreement from the early cooperation, first of all, the question of whether the prince of the Wa Kingdom went to study in the Tang Dynasty.

After all, it was Fujiwara Kiyokawa and Kibi Shinbei who wrote to the Tang Emperor and agreed that the prince of the Wa Kingdom would send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to study, but Fujiwara Nakamaro thought that Fujiwara Kiyokawa and Kibi Shinbei were overstepping their authority by making claims, and this matter should not be determined by the two chief and deputy envoys of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, they expressed strong dissatisfaction with Kibi Shinbei standing on the side of Emperor Xiaoqian.

The contradiction between the two quickly intensified, first there was a dispute over whether to send the prince to study in the Tang Dynasty, and then there were disagreements on whether Zhen Qian came to Kyoto to meet the emperor.
