Miko Akinomiya's words made Taira Kiyomori stunned for a while, he didn't expect Miko Akinomiya to take into account the interests of her country at all, and arbitrarily promise benefits to others.

If the Lord Ye in front of him suddenly opened his mouth, what would be the result?

Therefore, Ping Qingsheng was selectively silent at the moment, because he didn't know how to speak, and if he was careless, he would be angry with this Lord Ye, and it would be even more difficult to repair it in the future.

And at this time, Ye Yu was also choked by Miko Akinomiya's words, and he was suddenly a little speechless, he wanted to say, I want you Japan to be classified as the Great Song Dynasty!

But I also know that this is a bit fantastical, at least at this time it is too absurd to say.

The dignified Emperor of Japan's sister, Prince Nei, opened his mouth, and although Taira Kiyomori was an envoy this time, it was not good for him to make a statement at this time. Therefore, the atmosphere in the whole living room has added a bit of inexplicable weirdness.

In the end, it was Ye Yu who took the lead in breaking the embarrassment: "Hehe, His Royal Highness Meizi's kindness Ye Mou has it, and the rest is not necessary, just follow what Master Taizheng said, because Ye Mou is not a greedy person!" ”

One sentence broke the original embarrassment, and Ping Qingsheng also complimented: "Lord Ye is so high-spirited and bright, it is really admirable!" However, the matter of the special port that Prince Nei said, Lord Ye does not have to postpone it. ”

Ye Yu's acceptance of the favor was measured, which made Ping Qingsheng secretly relieved, and at the same time, his evaluation of Ye Yu was a few points higher. If you respect me for a foot, I will return the favor.

Therefore, when Miko Akinomiya said about the establishment of a port, Taira Kiyomori was not stingy, but generously included it in the conditions.

Diplomacy is always so delicate. It's not about how strong you are on the table, the more you can get. Instead, it often seems to be an incomprehensible concession, and you will get more things.

"Since he is so gracious, then Ye will be respectful and obedient, but this matter is ......"

"Lord Ye rest assured, this matter will be kept strictly confidential, I only hope that Lord Ye can express my Japanese loyalty in front of His Majesty of the Heavenly Empire, Jinghai, please here!"

Ping Qingsheng got up and saluted Ye Yu as he spoke, but he was immediately helped up by Ye Yu: "Lord Taizheng is serious, if you can live in peace, it is the blessing of the people, and it is not a good act to start a war in vain, His Royal Highness Meizi and Lord Taizheng can rest assured!" ”

"What Lord Ye said is extremely true!"

Immediately, the two sides chatted for a long time in the living room, but they were all Japanese customs and specialties, which was Ye Yu's intentional inquiry and understanding.

Because only in this way can you better discover what you want to get, but at the moment Ye Yu is very interested in Japanese katanas, at least in this kind of technology, he has a strong interest.

Because if you want to mass-produce this kind of sharp blade, you have to start with Japan!

He Ye Yu is not a person who works behind closed doors, and of course he is not a casual taker. However, in today's situation, it is necessary to import a large number of Japanese blades.

Ye Yu asked Li Da* to train his own soldiers, that is, to have absolute concealment. Now Li Dayin, who is training privately in Sichuan and Shu, is missing this large number of sharp blades.

In this way, there is no need to go through the Great Song Dynasty Military Supervision Office, and there is no need to secretly gather craftsmen to build, so that the gods do not know it, and in the deep mountains and old forests, it has achieved a hidden role.

He needs an army that will appear like a demon in hell on a battlefield that will make the enemy fearful.

So no one should be aware of this army until it is formed. For this matter, he took advantage of his power to arrange Meng Tong to serve in Sichuan in advance, in order to open the door to convenience.

Recommending literati to serve in military positions is obviously much simpler and smoother under the current system of emphasizing literature over military force, because the imperial court is not very wary of civil servants.

In the course of the conversation, in addition to the katana, Ye Yu was interested, followed by "Bigo Iron" and "Mutsu's Pony".

These two places may sound strangely named, but they are also stocked with Japanese specialties. Ye Yu was a high-achieving student with double majors in arts and sciences, and in the geography textbooks of liberal arts that year, various minerals in the world were marked.

Ye Yu roughly remembered that the world's best iron ore was not in Japan, the nearest was India, the birthplace of Buddhism. In addition to India, that high-quality iron ore vein swept Vietnam, so the iron ore produced in Vietnam is cheap and the quality is not much different from that of Indian iron ore.

But this Vietnam is now the current Annam. If there is a chance in the future, Ye Yu feels that he must touch Annan with his tentacles!

So there is still no need to introduce iron ore in Japan, and finally Ye Yu set his sights on the "foal of Mutsu", this kind of horse grown in the cold mountains of Japan is a prototype of the Japanese Ocean Horse, which is actually worth introducing.

The term ocean horse was born during the Anti-Japanese War in later generations, because the horses ridden by Japanese officers were relatively tall, so it was called Ocean horse.

At present, the horses in the Central Plains are very short, so this kind of ocean horse is still worth introducing, and Japan can send its own women to borrow from the Central Plains men, so why can't the Central Plains introduce livestock horses?

In the future, if you want to level the Chinese Kyushu, cavalry is indispensable. However, these nomads in the Jin Kingdom have a limited sales of horses, and they are still very expensive.

And importantly, the hinterland of the Central Plains is not suitable for raising horses, so since the loss of the northwest pastures, the shortage of horses in the late Tang Dynasty and even the two Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, has always been the weakness of the formation of cavalry!

The horse is the foundation of the armor and the great use of the country. When it is peaceful, it is used to drive the car; If there is a chaotic world, it will also run into the middle of the war.

If animal husbandry is not prosperous, the community is not strong! The reason why the Han and Tang dynasties were strong was because of the existence of cavalry.

Now that the western and northern lands are controlled by the Western Xia, Western Liao, and Jin Kingdoms, if you want to reverse the situation, you have to find another way to try the general trend!

As for Ye Yu's willingness to purchase foals, although Ping Qingsheng felt a little puzzled, he didn't think about it deeply, but agreed to these things.

After sending off the Japanese envoys, Ye Yu's mood suddenly improved a lot. immediately wrote a letter to Fuzhou, so that Lu Qing could make due preparations.

When Taira Kiyomori, Akinomiya Miko and Fujiwara Narifan left the Ye Mansion, Akimiya Miko reluctantly glanced at the door of the mansion, and then got into the luxurious carriage.

In the carriage, Kiyomori Taira glanced at Miko Akinomiya, sighed slightly, and said, "You are a little out of shape today, in case Lord Ye and the lion open his mouth, do we really have to agree?" ”

Kiyomori Taira spoke in Japanese, and Miko Akinomiya also responded in fluent Japanese: "Miko just can't help it......"

"It seems that you have a crush on that Lord Ye, but this matter ends here!"

"Why?"

"This time, our mission has sent a lot of our own women here, these ordinary Song people can still borrow offspring, but this Lord Ye's status is unfathomable, and we must not provoke him arbitrarily. The purpose of our trip is to stop the alliance between Goryeo and the Great Song! Miko, focus on the big picture! ”

Taira Kiyomori comforted Miko Akinomiya in a commanding tone, causing Miko Akinomiya to slowly lower her head and stop talking.

Seeing that Miko Akinomiya was silent, Ping Qingsheng didn't say anything more, because he was thinking about how to send his daughter Ping Dezi to the Great Song Dynasty. Even if he wants to borrow offspring, it should be a good descendant of his Ping family.

So in his Ping Qingsheng's eyes, Ye Yu is the hope of his Ping family. Whether the descendants of the Ping family can be excellent in the future, this bargaining chip is pressed on Ye Yu's body.

This is also the reason why when Ye Yu put forward the conditions today, he did not have the slightest objection and extra generous.

He raised his head and glanced at Miko Akimiya opposite, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. Although Miko Akinomiya has always called him her father, she is not her biological daughter after all, so she must not be allowed to take the lead.

After he planned to go back, he immediately wrote a letter back to China to let his daughter come to the Song Dynasty to leave a good heir for his Ping family.

Miko Akimiya looked out the window and looked at the scenery that passed by, and there was a look of determination in her eyes.

The current situation in Japan is very unstable, and the emperor seems to have stabilized the government with the help of the samurai clique of Taira Kiyomori and Minamoto Yoshitomo, but in fact, this power base itself has begun to have its own ideas and interests.

Therefore, Japan, which is supported by the two forces, is actually like a flat boat on the river.

If it weren't for the fact that Japan was defending against the Goryeo enemy, I am afraid that there would have been a trend of turmoil. Therefore, the problems faced by the emperor's imperial family are not optimistic at all.

The staffing of the Japanese mission seems to be arbitrary, but it is actually a competition of wisdom between the imperial family and foreign relatives. Emperor Takakura, a child who had just turned ten years old, was nothing more than a puppet of Taira Kiyomori and Minamoto Yoshitomi.

Although Ping Qingsheng took the initiative to become a monk and stay away from the regime because of his stubborn illness, this was just a means to retreat into advance. Because of the power of the Ping family, it will not fall because of the monk of Ping Qingsheng.

The ten-year-old Emperor Takakura may not be able to understand these undercurrents of the current situation, but Miko Akimiya can see it very thoroughly.

From his uncle, he directly rose to his father-in-law, and this extremely favored reputation was proposed by him Miko Akimiya. Because if you want to stabilize the position of the emperor, you must rely on Taira Kiyomori.

But relying on, after all, it is still a reliance, not her own strength, Miko Akimiya has been brewing opportunities.

And this time Xidu came to Song, which made her see hope, and made her feel a burst of heartbeat.

So whether it is for the interests of the Japanese royal family or her own girlish feelings, she will not give up this rare opportunity.

The carriage slowly moved forward, and Fujiwara Narifan sat in the front of the carriage as a guard. The two people in the car, Miko Akinomiya and Kiyomori Hirai, were thinking about their own plans with their own hearts.

Where there is power, there is an undercurrent. This is true of the Great Song Dynasty, and the small Japan is no exception......
