After more than a month of drifting at sea, Ye Yu is finally about to arrive in Japan in October.

This time, Ye Yu came as a special envoy, and he was accompanied by Gu Xifeng's 20,000 Fuzhou sailors, covering the sky and the sun along the way.

The 20,000 sailors were transferred by Ye Yu privately, but the imperial court also acquiesced to Ye Yu's approach after learning about it.

One is to go to Japan to show the national prestige of the Celestial Empire, and the other is because the Fuzhou Navy is a local force in Fuzhou, and it is not close to the central army of the imperial court, although it is subordinate to the imperial court, it is actually not controlled.

Ye Yu said that he wanted to take the Fuzhou Sailor to show the national prestige, although the court was very reluctant, but because of the need for three points and seven points of helplessness, he had to agree to Ye Yu's behavior.

Ye Yu stood in front of the bow of the ship, looking at the Japanese island that was getting closer and closer, and said seriously to Gu Xifeng beside him: "Xifeng, when you arrive in Japan, you must restrain your subordinates. ”

"Rest assured, the last general will definitely not let the soldiers violate military discipline!"

"This is not the point, Ben Hou does not mean this......"

"Uh......"

Seeing Gu Xifeng's hesitation, Ye Yu turned around helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "These 20,000 sailors have arrived on the shore, no matter what they do, Ben Hou doesn't care, but that's all, you are not allowed to accept the woman sent by the Japanese palace secretary, you, understand?" ”

"The last general understands!"

Ye Yu saw Gu Xifeng's solemn face, but smiled: "Do you really understand?" ”

"Understood! This is the law that must be observed in military discipline! ”

Ye Yu waved his hand, then turned around again, and said to himself: "You don't understand, forget it, go down and command the armies, and prepare to land......"

"Yes!"

After Gu Xifeng took the order to retreat, Ye Yu was leaning on the railing, staring at the approaching Japanese island, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Little Japan, I, Ye Yu, am here!" ”

At this moment, at Iwami's port, there were already a lot of people gathered, because Ye Yu's fleet was going to land here.

A large number of Kwantung samurai were stationed here, maintaining order in Iwami Port, but even so, the crowd was constantly surging, as if a moment of carelessness would break through the defense line laid out by the Kwantung samurai.

"I heard that Master Ye came this time and brought the most elite earth and water division of the Celestial Empire, and there are 20,000 soldiers...... among the officials who greeted him, one of them looked at the coast and muttered to himself.

As soon as the words fell, several officials rushed to reply: "The manor built by Prince Naichi himself is as large and luxurious as the palace where the emperor lives......

"The Heavenly Army, the huge fleet, the elite soldiers, the advanced offensive weapons, I just heard the envoys who went to the Celestial Empire say that now I can see the power of the heavens, this glory is enough for my descendants of Yamamoto to talk about for a thousand years!"

“……”

Everyone was hustle and bustle, and all the topics focused on Ye Yu and the fleet.

And in the royal guard of honor, Miko Akimiya stared at the shore for a long time and did not move.

The little emperor next to him, Takakura, tugged on his sister's sleeve and asked very puzzledly, "Sister, how long do you have to wait?" ”

"Uh, wait a little longer, they'll be here in a minute......"

"Oh, let's wait!" The eleven-year-old Emperor Takakura was very short, no more than a five- or six-year-old doll by the height standards of Middle-earth.

"The two ministers, have all the arrangements been made?" Miko Akinomiya turned her head and asked Kiyomori Taira and Hirohiro Fujiwara.

As soon as Miko Akinomiya's voice fell, Ping Qingsheng opened his mouth: "Prince rest assured, the minister has set aside a piece of land in the Heijia Manor, which is specially designed for Master Ye to garrison the heavenly soldiers, and has organized the residence of the Daimyo Metropolitan Prison, and the needs for subsequent support have also been prepared!" ”

Ping's refreshing answer did not make Miko Akinomiya show a look of relief, but looked at Fujiwara Hirohiro again.

Fujiwara Hirohiro immediately understood, and then said: "This is a grand event, the minister has already ordered that all the daimyo give their best concubines, with the best tea, the best house, and the most beautiful music, to entertain the envoys of the Celestial Empire......"

After listening to Fujiwara's broad reply, Miko Akimiya nodded with satisfaction: "Well, treat these Celestial Empire soldiers well, and don't let the Celestial Empire soldiers ...... Especially Mr. Ye, if he feels any dissatisfaction, he has lost face in my country! ”

"Yes!"

After Miko Akinomiya finished speaking, there was a scene of chickens nodding like rice, and countless Japanese palace secretaries whispered: "20,000 soldiers of the Heavenly Dynasty came to 'degree' in person, this time, a hundred years of work can be completed in one year, it is really a grand event in the world!" ”

Not long after, the fleet on the shore that looked like a black cloud in the sky slowly came, and everyone waiting at Iwami Port was very excited to see this.

"It's coming! Here it is, look! ”

"Hey, don't shoot me, I'll watch it!"

As the fleet gradually approached, the scale of the fleet carried by Ye Yu this time was all displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

The Song Dynasty was not very strong in land warfare, but its strength and equipment at sea could be said to be the first in the world. Therefore, this kind of large-scale fleet is something that Japan has never seen in its life.

This time, Ye Yu brought the most elite combat power of the Fuzhou Naval Division, and also vacated a large number of ships for the traders of Fujian Prefectures.

This is the bidding work that Ye Yu deliberately did before leaving!

One is to ensure the logistics support of this large army on the sea, which can only make these businessmen bear a huge logistical burden;

Second, Ye Yu needs to take advantage of this opportunity to make Lu Qing the helm of the maritime trading company in the future;

Three, since the businessman is for profit, then he will do a literary version of the plundering of Japan this time!

Iwami landed because Iwami was the fief of the prince of the Akinomiya sisters, and the port facilities here were good, which made it easier for the army to anchor, and most of the caravans sailed into Hakata Bay.

The Japanese watched with awe as the unimaginably large fleet sailed into their bay. People who are enthusiastic like volcanic eruptions bring their daughters from all over the world and pounce on Hakata Bay like locusts!

Ye Yu stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the sea of people like locusts, and his face was also surprised.

And Gu Xifeng, who commanded the fleet, was shocked when he saw this, and said, "This is too enthusiastic......

Ping Dezi on the side saw that his homeland was in front of him, and he was already indescribably excited, and while waving his hand excitedly to the land, he explained: "The Celestial Empire has always been the country that we Japan yearns for, and now that the Hou Ye is leading the army to come, it is natural that the whole country is very excited. Especially the good name of the Hou Ye, which is already admired by the whole country, so ......"

When Gu Xifeng led the army to all the roads, he was already surrounded by a sea of Japanese women in front of him, so frightened that Gu Xifeng hurriedly retreated.

Quan Guangwu, who was already a general of the water division, saw these wolf-like Japanese women's teams, and hurriedly hid behind Gu Xifeng: "Brother Stock, what's the situation?" ”

"This ...... I don't know, maybe they're too enthusiastic......"

"Is there such a warm reception?"

Gu Xifeng glanced at Quan Guangwu sideways, and saw that Quan Guangwu's face had begun to redden, so he joked: "Alas, you kid, do you miss your girl......

"Nonsense!"

Seeing that Quan Guangwu's face was embarrassed and flushed when he was ridiculed, Gu Xifeng stopped joking, and said to himself with a little emotion: "I finally understand what the lord said before......

"What did Master say?"

He said......" As soon as Gu Xifeng's words came out, his words changed: "The lord said that your kid is very unmotivated, and he is very disappointed in his heart!" ”

"Ahh Brother Gu, I'm ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, order all the troops, whether they are landing or stationing, they must remember the seven-character military discipline!"

"Please make it clear to the general, are those seven words!?" Although Quan Guangwu was very aggrieved at this moment, the military order was in front, so he had to strictly obey the order.

"Fire prevention, anti-enemy, anti-woman!"

“……”

"Like a wolf and a tiger, how can you not guard against it!? Remember, anyone who accepts Dongying women without authorization will be dealt with by military law, go quickly! Seeing that Quan Guangwu was speechless, Gu Xifeng immediately snorted.

"Subordinates obey!"

As soon as Ye Yu and the others landed on Japanese soil, Miko Akinomiya and Emperor Takakura led all the officials and won enthusiastically.

In the face of the enthusiasm of the Japanese people, Ye Yu returned the salute with a smile, and under the recommendation of Miko Akinomiya, Ye Yu knew that the short boy in front of him was the current Emperor Takakura of Japan.

The Great Song Dynasty is the Celestial Empire in the eyes of the Japanese, but Takakura is the lord of a country after all, and even if Ye Yu has a high reputation, he is just a messenger after all.

Therefore, Ye Yu still understood the difference between high and low with each other, so he came to the front of Gao Cang, and simply arched his hand and said: "Ye Yu has seen the lord of the country!" ”

This kind of etiquette can be said to be extremely ordinary, it can be regarded as a kind of meeting etiquette between friends, and Ye Yu did not call the other party the emperor in his words.

The word Japan originated after the Tang Dynasty, and it was customary to call it Dongying before.

And Japan has sent missions to the west many times, and it also claims that its leader is the emperor, which is also described in many records in the annals.

But the Great Song Dynasty never really recognized this name, just as the people have always called Japan Dongying.

However, although there is no real recognition of this name, the Great Song Dynasty does not reject the Japanese from calling themselves so, which means: You play your self-worship, my Great Song Dynasty will not blindly participate with you, as long as you admit that I am the big brother!

Therefore, in Ye Yu's words and deeds, he did not respect Emperor Takakura.

But for everyone present, they didn't care about these details, and Xiao Takakura came directly to Ye Yu, looked up at the person in front of him curiously, and asked in stiff Chinese: "You are the Imperial Sister Ye who thinks about day and night?" ”

"Uh......"

Ye Yu wanted to squat down and talk to Takakura, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt very speechless, and in the end he felt that it was better to stand!
