The fleet of the Wa Kingdom set sail from the Wa Strait to the Tang Dynasty after receiving a long letter from the envoy Abe Jiro, Abe Jiro's letter was sent immediately after the Battle of Weishui, in his description, the Tang Dynasty has built the most ideal warship in the world, no need for strong winds, no oars can travel at high speed on the river, as for the earth-shattering divine cannon, it is a super weapon that can help them destroy other forces in their country, and I hope that the family will give the greatest support, The Abe family must get such a ship and cannon.

The leader of the fleet is the prime minister of the middle court, he is the strongest samurai in the martial arts of the Abe family, in the country where there is no popular surname, the prime minister is hard to make more than 50 forces in the country aware of the middle minister family with his own martial arts, although he is still a vassal under the Abe clan, one of the three major forces of the Japanese country, but he has been able to independently control the powerful naval army, that is, seven or eight ships with sails and warehouses, and there are about five hundred samurai with long and short swords.

The reason why their weapons are thin and light depends on the fact that they do not have much iron in their country, and their weapons are not enough in the Celestial Empire, so the combat effectiveness of the Japanese warriors in the Tang Dynasty is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Celestial Empire army, but they have money, and the Japanese sent Tang envoys to the Central Plains to mix the wind and water, because they bring a large amount of silver every time they come, and even the whole ship of silver ore with high purity, today, They used these things to knock on Peng Jian's walled door.

"Zhongchen Jun gave him a generous gift, I don't know what to ask for?" Peng Jian is a burly, stained man, he is in charge of Pengjiazhai has more than 10,000 young and strong, more than 800 large and small ships, is a figure that even Zhang Liang, the governor of the Tang Dynasty, does not dare to underestimate, the waters of Hongze Lake are intricate, all within the control range of the eighteen villages. In addition to the official ships responsible for the transportation of the imperial court, the ships of the rest of the caravans passed through the Hongze Lake area, all of which were to buy money from him, and the ships of the Abe family of the Wa Kingdom traveled back and forth in the Tang Dynasty all the year round, knowing the way of this, they also had some overseas business with Peng Jian, and even borrowed Peng Jian's hand to fight other Wa forces many times. Although the purity is not very high, it is worth at least more than 300,000 yuan in Datang, if Peng Jian gets this silver, Pengjiazhai will eat and drink for ten years.

"The lord of Peng Zhai has always been the most solid ally of my Abe family in the Celestial Empire, this time the minister of the prime minister won the order of the head of the family, and brought a lot of money to the Tang Dynasty, is to get the shipbuilding and gunpowder technology of the Tang Dynasty, I believe that the owner of the village has heard of these two things, but unfortunately he has just arrived in the Tang Dynasty. I received bad news, the Tang Dynasty was unwilling to sell these two technologies, and killed many warriors of our Wa Kingdom, and our Wa Kingdom has always been extremely deferential to Datang. But they were brutally killed, which is really heart-wrenching, and Guizhai is also a force that is not tolerated by the Tang Dynasty, and now they have the weapon of killing. Can you wipe out your village, I don't know how the owner of the village will deal with himself? "In the Tang Dynasty, almost all the high-level forces of the Tang Dynasty were Tang Tong, not only speaking fluent Tang Dynasty official dialect. He also has a good understanding of the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty and the domestic situation, and the Zhongchen Prime Minister is no exception, in addition to studying the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, he prefers to study the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, and at his current level, it is more than enough to be a general of three or four grades in the Tang Dynasty.

"The owner of the ship and the Shenwei cannon has heard of it, how powerful it is, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but now the court doesn't have the kung fu to deal with me, maybe the ministers don't know yet, there is a flood in Guanzhong, and now there is a locust plague, after the emperor ascended the throne, the disaster in the entire Guanzhong has not stopped, and now we don't go to the trouble of the court They will ask for more blessings, how can they launch a large army to exterminate us." Peng Jian can be the king of the mountain on Hongze Lake is naturally a little wise, at least the Peng Jiazhai he led has never moved with the forces that he can't provoke, which also makes him invincible and growing, he is right, the imperial court is now unable to send a large army to exterminate him, but it does not mean that a small force cannot be sent to exterminate him.

"The flood and drought locust plague will eventually pass, not only us, you Datang people will never think that these disasters can make the Tang Dynasty destroy the country, after all, the defeat of the Turks has given the Tang Dynasty many opportunities to recuperate, the owner of the village will put the strategy of living on natural disasters, whether it is too short-sighted, Zhongchen has a long-term strategy here, I don't know if the owner of the village can be interested." The prime minister not only has the level of being an official, but also the level of rebellion, at least his rhetoric is much more useful than that of the scorpion.

"I want to hear about it."

Peng Jian's golden knife sat on his mat bed, he naturally coveted the water steamer and gunpowder, Xie Feiyu was the vanguard he sent out to test the water, but unfortunately the effect was not good, according to the minions planted in Songzhou, the three hundred strong men sent out by themselves were all wiped out by the imperial court, Xie Feiyu was captured alive, beaten and hung on the bow of the boat to show the public, I am afraid that now there is more than auspicious, and I am worried that I can't explain to Mrs. Xie of Xie Jiazhai!

"The imperial court's fleet is coming to the south of the Yangtze River, there are more than a hundred huge merchant ships, and only one warship is equipped as an escort, and what is more interesting is that this warship only has one or two hundred guards, such a godsend, isn't it the imperial court that sends these two treasures to us? The owner of the village has more than 10,000 young and strong men, and the eighteen villages of Hongze Lake are all under the orders of the owner of the village, even if the hundreds of guards of the imperial court are powerful, can they resist the siege of the owner of the village? As long as we casually hijack one of the water ships, we can master the navigation technology of the steamer, and if we rob the main battleship, we will be able to master the technology of gunpowder and Shenwei cannons, and then the court will be helpless The owner of the village will be helpless, this is a long-term plan to settle down, why not think about it carefully. Zhongchen explained to Peng Jian with confidence, it seems that Peng Jian has no reason to refuse this kind of thing that is safe and profitable.

Peng Jian didn't answer the words of the minister for a long time, his comfortable life was too long and suddenly wanted him to do a big deal, and his mind couldn't be turned around, Xie Feiyu took three hundred brothers to the court It was already an adventure, if it weren't for the fact that these people were recruited from outside by the Japanese people, Peng Jian might not dare to move lightly, thinking that Xie Feiyu, who had the best water nature, could not be captured on the water, who thought that although the people and horses in the imperial court were small, there were powerful people who could capture Xie Feiyu alive.

"This matter is a big matter, the old man may not be able to decide it in a word, the lives of more than 100,000 people in the eighteen villages are written in the hands of the old man, do you know that the imperial court fleet is in charge of the current prince. Once he is moved, then the eighteen villages and the imperial court will become an endless situation, although your three boats of silver are too much, they can't buy the lives of hundreds of thousands of brothers in my eighteen villages. ”

Peng Jian did not refuse directly, but said his own difficulties, obviously a little tempted, but did not dare to press his old book, the minister heard the words and laughed: "Lord Peng Zhai is too worried, as long as you capture the water ship and the Shenwei cannon, what can the court do to you." The prince is just a robber, even if he can't fight the court in the future, the owner of the village only needs to take advantage of the water steamer to escape overseas, find a fertile land in the South Seas to expand the territory, and establish a dynasty is also a light matter, you must know that my Abe family can occupy three points of the world in the country, the people under his command are less than 100,000, and the young and strong warriors are not more than 10,000. It's far worse than the eighteen villages! ”

As soon as the ministers said this, Peng Jian's eyes suddenly brightened, and his ambition began to swell slightly, and he had heard that all the leaders of Xie Jiazhai had broken through in Nanyang. I often mention what I have seen and heard overseas, and now if Xie Jiazhai becomes the death place of the imperial court because of Xie Feiyu's incident, then overseas will naturally become his retreat, if he unites more than 100,000 people from 18 villages to build a country overseas. Naturally, it is very feasible, but he still needs to explore the current family business and the thoughts of the rest of the villages.

The prime minister was treated by Peng Jian as a guest. Asked his subordinates to take their own invitations and sail out, and invite the owners of the village to discuss in the Pengjiazhai Juyi Hall early tomorrow morning, at the same time, the mother and son of the Xie family, who were full of wine and food under the hospitality of Yanglin, also returned to their own village overnight, Xie Feiyu was drunk, slept unconscious, and was carried down by the village to rest, Mrs. Xie was in the hall thinking hard to be able to move Peng Jian's words, that God gave the horse everything, but he was too young, he spoke a little frivolously, and wanted to incorporate the entire eighteen villages, but only one sentence, and it was an extremely arrogant word. The heaven-endowed horse is here, and he still doesn't bow his head to worship. ’

In the camp of the fleet, Yanglin's escort team was divided into two brigades, each team of 100 people, led by Meng Yi and Zhao Yifa, after Yanglin had an in-depth understanding of the background of the eighteen villages from Mrs. Xie, he did not intend to recruit them in a gentle way, since these people are not afraid of the army of the imperial court and dare to occupy the mountain here as the king, they will not be reasonable and good gentlemen, such people must first make them afraid, completely frightened, and only then can they be subdued, and the only thing he can rely on at present is the Chengqian ship, which is currently the largest ship in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Lin estimated that the carrying capacity should be more than 2,000 tons, about double the 1,000 tons of cargo ships, and the 500-ton battleship that can completely crush the five-tooth big ship equipped by the navy belongs to the highest level of craftsmanship, although it is not very satisfactory to Yang Lin, but the current Datang water power is enough, which is why such a large fleet, Yang Lin thinks that only this one battleship is needed to escort it, it has not yet shown its fangs to the world.

The first team led by Meng Yi will board the Chengqian to participate in the training in the next few days, Li Chengqian's two hundred internal servants have all become super gunners, and the command of the Chengqian has also fallen into the hands of Yanglin, if Li Chengqian does not agree, sorry, mung bean popsicles will stop supplying, you go and endure the steamer-like weather in the lake area by yourself!

In fact, Li Chengqian has a very good opinion on Yanglin's slogan, and it should be said that 'the prince of the Tang Dynasty is here, and he doesn't come to worship yet', but under the temptation of popsicles, he didn't dare to say more, he had already tried before, the art troupe, the escort team and the people of Wangjia Village would only listen to Yanglin's orders,' It's not okay if the emperor comes' is their mantra, but he himself is not very happy to run on the water of Hongze Lake reflected on all sides on a hot day, or hide in the cool camp to peek at the beauties of the art troupe, and it is more interesting to tease and tease the kiln sister of the drunken fairy building.

Yang Lin only gave Mrs. Xie three days, and in three days, Mrs. Xie only needed to say his arrogant words to Peng Jian, and these three days were also the training and familiarization time for all the crew members on the Chengqian, and the Shenwei cannon equipped with three kinds of shells was only used once in the real yàn and was hurriedly equipped on the newly built Chengqian, Yanglin was not worried about the quality of the Shenwei cannon, but was just worried about the prohibition and accurate execution of the combat order, you know, in the water war, Both one's own and the other side's ships are constantly running, as long as the difference in the firing time of the cannonballs is two or three seconds, they may miss the target and waste the shells, and the solid bullets must accurately hit the enemy's ships in order to achieve the effect of sinking the target.
