Chapter 92: Danluo Kingdom

"Star Lord, Star Lord, three big ships have appeared on the sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

The tribesmen who had been herding cattle by the sea ran to the village where the tribe lived in a panic to inform their leader, the Star Lord.

The king of Danla was called the Star Lord, and was given by King Munmu of Silla, and was given the title of prince and apprentice (meaning that the prince was about to be in the army). The Danluo Kingdom was ruled by the Goyi Nabu for generations, and during the Three Kingdoms period of the Korean Peninsula, it successively submitted to Silla and Baekje, and after the death of Baekje, he sent two envoys to the Tang Dynasty to call him a tribute.

Now the king of Danluo is Lin De for the second year, with Liu Renliang into the dynasty of Gaoduluo, the Tang Dynasty records that his king's surname is Ru Li, and his name is Duluo.

When Godura and his princes, Tunai and other ministers heard the news, they led the young men who were able to fight in their subordinates and hurried to the seashore with bows and swords in their hands, and saw from a distance that three large ships they had never seen before were heading towards the shore, and many people on board were looking at the shore on the side of the ship, and some people were even waving at them.

"Star Lord, is it a pirate?" Now Prince Danluo is the brother of the star lord Gao Duluo, Gao Duhuan, and he guessed as he looked at the black and unfamiliar flags hanging on the three big ships.

Goduro shook his head: "No, if it was a pirate, he wouldn't have landed with such fanfare. ”

Pirates existed in any era, but in the Tang Dynasty, due to the limitations of shipbuilding and navigation technology, pirates only operated in coastal areas not far from the shore, and it was difficult to cross hundreds of miles wide seas like the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. The scope and influence of pirates were far less than those of the Ming and Qing dynasties hundreds of years later.

"The Danluo people greeted us on the shore with scriptures, Zhang Mao, go and get the documents that the king gave me, we are the envoys of the Tang Dynasty sent by His Royal Highness King Yan."

Zhang Qin put down his binoculars and shouted at everyone on the boat: "Everyone give me spiritual points, we can represent the national prestige of Datang." ”

"Don't worry, the brothers, all the swords, bows and armor are all brought, and they are sure to scare those savages who don't even wear pants."

"Hahaha......"

The crew on deck, who had already been prepared, burst into laughter.

Zhang Mao, who was promoted by Zhang Qin's intercession, now became Zhang Qin's dog leg completely, and hurriedly retrieved King Yan's documents from the cabin.

Zhang Qin took this document stamped with the seal of the Great Seal of the Great Seal of the Great Protector of the Tang Dynasty and the Great Seal of the Imperial Palace, and confidently commanded the fleet to dock.

Although the people of Danluo are a group of uncivilized savages, their king is a serious person who has seen the world. This document was a sight to behold, and it was easy for the crew to be well received, and it was much more convenient for the locals to act as guides when they visited the island.

Located in the bay of Jeju City, the capital of Jeju Island in the future, thousands of Danra people dressed in animal clothes and pantsless, similar to the Xianbei people of hundreds of years ago, shaved off part of their hair under the watchful eyes of the coast.

Zhang Qinsuo led three large ships slowly sailed to a halt in the deep water area of the bay dozens of feet from the shore, dropped the anchor, and lowered the boat. Except for 20 crew members on each ship, the others were disembarked in batches.

The people on the Gothuraguan boat docked in small boats, and these overseas visitors were not Baekje people, nor Silla people, nor were they Japanese people. can build such a big ship and wear such gorgeous clothes, that only the big country in the western part of the Haixi - the Tang Kingdom, which I went to worship a few years ago.

The Tang Dynasty, which destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo, sent people here thousands of miles away, presumably because the Tang Emperor sent envoys to publicize his will. Gao Duluo was a little uneasy in his heart, worried that it might be that the Tang Emperor thought that he had not gone to Hajj for eight years and sent an envoy to question him.

Hurriedly took the prince, Tu Nei and other courtiers forward, and bowed to Zhang Qin and his party who had just landed in the Tang Dynasty with a standard Tang meeting.

"May I ask if the person who came is an angel of the Tang Dynasty?"

Gao Duluo said a little lame cut rhyme (cut rhyme, the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty, after the Sui unified Z country, the Shandong family and the Jiangzuo family were formulated according to the Luoyang sound of the Eastern Han Dynasty spoken by their respective families, and the official dialect of the Sui and Tang dynasties) asked respectfully, as the lord of a country to meet the envoy of the kingdom, the posture is especially the general of the lower officials to meet the officials. The Danluo courtiers behind him also had no different colors on their faces, and they were respectful to Zhang Qin and the others.

"That's right, I am Zhang Qin, the envoy of the Tang Andong Protectorate and His Royal Highness King Yan, on the orders of His Royal Highness King Yan, I specially led three warships to visit the countries and islands under the rule of the Anton Protectorate, and reported to the Tang Dynasty to protect the emperor again."

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty Andong Protectorate Zhuhai was an official position granted to Zhang Qin by Li Yu, which was not established in the imperial court and belonged to a temporary official position set up by Li Yu himself.

Zhang Qin's face was full of majesty, and he announced to the bowed Gao Tuluo and other Danluo monarchs and ministers.

"Danluo Kingdom is the first country that this envoy is looking for, and the Lord of Danluo Star should cooperate with this envoy to investigate Ruguo in order to return to the capital and His Royal Highness King Yan."

"This is the envoy's order document, you can see it." Zhang Qin took out an excerpt from his sleeve and gave it to Gao Duluo.

When Gao Duluo received it, he was amazed by the hard and smooth touch of the fold, which he had never seen when he went to see the Tang Emperor eight years ago.

When I opened the fold, I saw the familiar Chinese characters on it, and I could barely recognize some of them, as for the two bright red Andong Protectors and Yanwang Great Seals on the folds, Gao Duluo had never seen them. However, this seal style is quite familiar, and there is a holy decree from the Tang Emperor when he went to the Tang Dynasty eight years ago. The big seal on the holy decree and the seal on this fold are not the same style, but only a big one and two small ones, and the Chinese characters on them are different.

Goduro believed it immediately, after all, the other party spoke fluent Mandarin and dressed like the Chinese he had seen years ago. There is also a knife that this angel's guard is equipped with, which only Tang Bing uses this kind of straight knife. The straight knife used by the Japanese has a ring head.

"Please angel move to the small country house."

Gao Duluo respectfully greeted Zhang Qin and his party to Maoxing Cave, the national capital, two or three miles offshore.

Zhang Qin and his entourage followed into Maoxing Cave, and where they looked, the so-called Danluo Kingdom did not even have a city wall, and they didn't even bother to repair the wall like the Tang Village.

Around a mountain cave are densely covered with round walls made of earth and stone, and thatched huts are covered with grass to protect them from the wind and rain.

Along the way, Wang Haichongxu looked at these sheds where pigs and cows lived in the Tang Dynasty and pouted contemptuously, muttering to the uncivilized savages.

Shusun Kang looked left and right at the Danluo women who curiously gathered around to watch them, with disheveled hair, short stature, yellow and thick limbs, and it was rare to see a slender woman. Dressed in animal skins and bare thighs, Uncle Sun Kang was not interested in taking a look. I kept sighing in my heart: Ugly women come out of poor mountains and bad waters.

In addition to the relationship between nationality and parental ancestry, people's appearance is also related to whether the local food and clothing conditions are superior. Good food, clothing, and accommodation, in the long run, the appearance of generation after generation will gradually get better. Of course, this does not apply to the inherently ugly blacks, the natives of Southeast Asia, and the fishing and hunting nomads of the north, who have little contact with the outside world.

Goduro summoned Zhang Qin and his party to the largest mansion in the middle of the village, and asked the female family members to prepare a meal.

Before the meal was ready, Gao Duluo and other Danluo monarchs and ministers enthusiastically chatted and laughed with Zhang Qin and his party, only Gao Duluo and the prince Gao Duhuan and three or four people in the Tu Nei Gao Qianqian were able to understand Chinese, and other Danluo courtiers who did not understand Chinese followed suit.

Zhang Qin explained the intention of this trip, and he would stay in Danluo for a few days, inspect the national conditions of Danluo, and return to Queen Yan to inherit the Son of Heaven, so that the Tang Dynasty Anton Protectorate could protect the people of Danluo from foreign enemies. He also hoped that Gao Duluo would provide food for the fleet, and send a guide to show them the way, and when the fleet returned to restore its life, he would definitely ask His Royal Highness the King of Yan to ask for credit to the Son of Heaven for Gao Duluo.

Goduro thanked him again and again, and assured that all the needs of the fleet in Danluo would be borne by his country.

When the food was delivered, not to mention that there were no decent tables and stools in the hall, Zhang Qin and the others could only sit on animal skins, holding rough pottery bowls in their hands and eating on simple stone tables.

Not to mention this meal, regardless of the color and flavor, Zhang Qin and others have no appetite, either sea fish or pork, and the taste is only salt, and the fishy smell is particularly strong.

Wang Haichong gritted his teeth and took a bite, swallowed it with a bitter face, muttering that it was better to go back to the boat and eat dry food. looked at Uncle Sun Kang sitting next to him, he didn't think that this guy was eating to the fullest, and he ate the food in front of him cleanly, and wiped his mouth with great satisfaction.

Uncle Sun Kang raised his eyebrows at Wang Haichong, full of contempt.

For Uncle Sun Kang, who has been running around at sea all the year round, he has eaten everything that is more unpalatable than this, and he still cares about this?

Zhang Qin and Yu Hong lived up to Gao Duluo's enthusiasm, frowning and eating all the food in the bowl.
