On the 10th day of November in the second year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, Wang Aoke, the commander of the Yellow Sea Fleet of Tang Andong's Imperial Palace, dispatched 50 warships to raid the Oki Kingdom, the territory of the Japanese State, and Fujiwara Qintong, the secretary of the Oki Kingdom, led 300 officers and soldiers to defend the island.

The news was transmitted back to Kyoto, causing the Japanese monarchs and ministers to be shaken. Fearing that the Tang army was about to attack his country, the Emperor of the Great Sea, who had been called Emperor by defeating the throne of Prince Otomo in the Renshin Rebellion, ordered to collect troops and horses from various countries and strictly defend the northern coastal cities.

Because the sea man has just seized the throne, the old guard forces in the country are still very large, and they are only superficially subservient to his power, once the Tang army really attacks on a large scale, maybe these old school nobles will rise up to overthrow his rule and abolish his series of reform policies.

At present, we are in the middle of the reform of the Japanese state, and the contradictions between the old slave aristocracy and the new feudal bureaucratic aristocracy are fierce.

When the Japanese State dispatched troops to strictly prevent the Tang army from landing on the main island, Wang Aoke left 800 troops to garrison the Oki Islands, and led the fleet to continue north as planned, aiming at Sado Island.

The Tang army left behind drove the Japanese people on the island to build a fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack on the island, the largest island in the archipelago, and built a fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack on the island.

When the Japanese naval division came to reconnoiter the Oki Islands, they did not find the Tang fleet, but there were Tang troops stationed on the island, so that the Japanese army did not dare to land on the island, so they had to return the same way.

The generals of the Japanese army reported to Kyoto that the Tang army sailors did not know where to go, but there were nearly 1,000 Tang troops stationed on the island, and drove our people to build a strange castle on the main island of the Oki Islands, asking whether to send troops to recover the Oki country.

The news of the Tang army's invasion and occupation of Oki Province gave hope to the old-fashioned forces in the Wa Kingdom, and a group of old-fashioned ministers seized the opportunity to put pressure on Emperor Daimto to continue to implement the reforms that had not yet been carried out by the Taika Revolution, in order to prevent him from abolishing the private tribal system that had been restored during the reign of Emperor Tenchi.

The people of the sea, who had only been on the throne for only two years, faced the old-fashioned nobles in the country, and in addition to strengthening their control over the armies, especially the Kyoto garrison, on the one hand, and on the other hand, they ordered the northern coastal states to exercise restraint against the Tang army at sea, and not to provoke a conflict unless the Tang army was the first to attack. lest the war with the Tang State lead to a larger-scale war, and the old faction also seized the opportunity to oppose him.

For the lost Oki State, the people of the sea had no choice but to admit the great loss of the lost territory, and at the same time send Tang envoys to the Tang to appeal.

What the people of the sea did not expect was that the ship on which he sent more than 200 people to the Tang Dynasty for the first time after he succeeded to the throne docked at Xingzhou Island for replenishment, and after leaving for only two hours, it was intercepted and killed by the Yellow Sea Fleet that caught up in the northwest sea of Xingzhou Island. Their belongings were plundered, more than 200 men were killed, their bodies thrown into the sea, and their ships burned.

Even after many years, no one knew the whereabouts of this Japanese envoy to Tang, which caused many speculations from later generations, and finally became a puzzle.

……

When Wang Aoke led the fleet to Sado Island, Sasaki Michiyu, the secretary of the Sado Kingdom, thought that it was another Tang country of immigrants and material supply fleets heading north. He led a group of officials from Sado Province to the dock to greet him, and by the way, he made friends with the chief officers of the fleet and did the business of the docked fleet. Not only can the poor islanders sell some fish, fresh vegetables and other agricultural products to increase their income, but these officials can also take a large amount of taxes from the islanders to enrich themselves.

More importantly, let the women quickly invite the tall, sturdy and handsome Tang men in the fleet into the house to have a few more excellent species.

The officers and men of the Yellow Sea Fleet who landed on Sado Island were flattered by the excessive enthusiasm of the Japanese people on Sado Island, who had come to occupy the island, but the islanders greeted them with joy as if they had been separated from their relatives for a long time.

This made the officers and men of the fleet a little embarrassed to announce that their mission was to occupy Sado Island and conquer the islanders.

What surprised the officers and men of the Yellow Sea Fleet even more was that the young Japanese women on the island were more enthusiastic about them than the other Japanese people, so enthusiastic that the soldiers who had not yet been married and had never touched a woman were red-faced, and seemed to shrink back in the pull with the Japanese women.

Wang Aoke walked down from the ship with a look of no one approaching, and saw the scene of the soldiers under his command on the dock pulling and pulling and laughing, and he burst into a shout: "Are you here to fight or to prostitute (harmony)?" He drove all these widows, both men and women, away from the dock, and after a quarter of an hour there were still widows left on the dock and killed on the spot. ”

The generals who didn't know the taste of meat for a few months originally planned to pick a few good-looking ones from among the Japanese girls to treat themselves tonight, but the commander's scolding instantly sobered up, and even kicked and scolded a group of soldiers who were entangled with the Japanese girls, and drove the Japanese girls on the dock and many Japanese people who came to sell fish and vegetables to the Tang Army in exchange for some Kaiyuan Tongbao from the dock.

The originally noisy and crowded wharf instantly quieted down, and the officers and men of the Tang Army put away their hearts and horses just now, and honestly stood guard at the wharf. Even if those dressed up and showy widows are less than fifty steps away from the wharf, they still shout Tang Ah Yan in broken Chinese, remember to spend the Spring Festival with a certain village and a certain family tonight, the concubine can serve Tang Ah Yang all night, and the door of the house is so full of brilliance, and the promise to give birth to an heir with A Yang is a glorious lintel.

It made the hearts of the soldiers itch, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces, and they didn't see the commander standing at the bow of the flagship, looking at the dock with an iron face.

"General Yu, Sasaki Michiyu of the Wa Kingdom Sado State Commander asks to see you."

"Announce him up."

"Whoa."

Wang Aoke looked at the slowly coming Sado Kuniji Sasaki Michiyu with a proud face, and swept Sasaki Michiyu's short figure with a contemptuous look.

"Shimokuni Sado Kuniji Sasaki Michiyu meets with the commander of the Yellow Sea Fleet of Shangguo ......"

Michiyu Sasaki bowed and saluted.

Wang Aoke directly interrupted his words and said bluntly: "This general is leading the army to receive Sado Island this time, and Sado Island will no longer belong to the land of the Japanese Kingdom from today onwards, but will belong to the overseas territory under the jurisdiction of my Tang Andong Metropolitan Protectorate." The local government is no longer allowed to be called Sado Country, and from now on it will be Sado County of my Tang Dynasty. I don't know if the national division can object? ”

After a short period of shock, Sasaki Michiyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you General for saving my officials and people on Sado Island from suffering, please accept the bows of the lower officials." ”

Wang Aoke and the generals looked at Sasaki Michiyu, who bowed to them and thanked them, which one is this?

"We have come to occupy you, to rule you as superior, to exploit you, shouldn't you Japanese people fight to the death to defend your land against aggression?"

The first lieutenant leaned into Wang Aoke's ear and whispered, "General, is this Sasaki Michiyu playing tricks?" Superficially surrendering, in fact, is it trying to trick us into going ashore and relaxing our vigilance, and then send troops to raid us? ”

"General, Michiyu Sasaki's performance is too contrary to common sense, although there are few Japanese defenders on the island. But the previous Oki State of Oki on the Oki Islands, Fujiwara Qintong, was also forced to surrender when he saw that he could not resist our army, how could he not think much about it after hearing about the general's intention like Sasaki Michiyu, let alone go back to discuss with his subordinates and directly made the decision to surrender. It is suspicious that they surrendered so simply and with joy. ”
