Now that we are preparing to go on the expedition, this preparation is essential. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the eldest grandson was leaving, he transferred the information about the Japanese state that was retained by the General Staff, and over the years, with the increasing trade activities between Jinshan and the Japanese state, a large amount of relevant information was also collected.

Of course, Changsun Tang himself also mastered a small but capable intelligence system.

After reading all this information, Changsun Yu's head immediately became much bigger. Because the situation of the Wa Kingdom at this time was a little too special.

There are many similarities between the situation of the Wa Kingdom at this time and the Warring States Period of the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom at this time has reached the eve of reform. If Changsun Yu is very familiar with history, it should be very clear that Japan at this time has not long been away from the Taika reform.

Changsun Tang is not worried about the outcome of the expedition at this time, for a Marine Corps armed to the teeth, these are not major problems, if it really can't work, just retreat to the sea.

Changsun Tang is worried about another thing, that is, the country's ability to learn. The Dahua Reform was basically carried out by the envoys sent by the Sui and Tang dynasties, and such a thing was carried out once in the 19th century. On both occasions, there was interference by foreign forces, and once there was none. However, on the eve of the reform, a large number of students were sent to study abroad, which made the reform successful.

In case because of the interference of the eldest grandson this time, not only did it not interrupt the process of reform, but accelerated it, this is definitely not a good thing. And Changsun Tang doesn't have the strength to control a country now, even if the Wa country is an island country, it is still the reason: no one.

But after hesitating for a while, Changsun Tang figured it out. What's there to hesitate about, others spit on me, since I don't have the patience to spit on my own face, then I must step forward **** mother. As for the reform process of the Japanese state, it is a big deal that a permanent fleet will be stationed here in the future. Anyway, the expansion of this fleet is also certain.

Changsun Tang originally planned to put Wu Yuanqing in charge of internal affairs, because the bureaucratic system formed over thousands of years does have many unsatisfactory points, but it is a more suitable set at present, since he can't do it himself like Zhuge Liang, then a huge bureaucratic system must be established. At present, the most familiar with this set is only Wu Yuanqing.

But Wu Yuanqing categorically rejected this suggestion out of some considerations.

So the commander of this expeditionary fleet was Deng Liangzhi, but there were two people with a higher status than Deng Liangzhi. The eldest grandson and Wu Yuanqing set out together to conquer the Wa Kingdom.

******

The fleet's cleaving sailing on the endless sea is very imposing. But no matter how imposing it is, it can't stand the feeling of not being able to see the land that has loved you for a long time.

And such a scene, Changsun Tang and Wu Yuanqing have seen enough.

So the two chatted and talked about a few games.

Originally, according to the rules, Wu Yuanqing and Changsun Tang could not be on the same warship, but this is just a rule after all. The so-called rules are actually used to make people break them, but the resources and power required to break the rules are different.

Naturally, Deng Liangzhi, the commander of this fleet, got acquainted with each other and got on another ship. If the price you need to pay is too great, or if you don't have enough strength, it's better to try to follow the rules.

There was really nothing to say along the way, and after completing the last supply from Quanzhou, after more than ten days of sailing, we finally approached the last supply station before arriving at the Wa Kingdom, Ryukyu.

This is naturally also the idea of the eldest grandson. There are too many places that the eldest grandson wants to occupy, but these are all in need of population.

After the Ryukyus were rereplenished, the route would not have left the island very far.

The fleet eventually landed on Kagoshima at the southern tip of Kyushu Island.

According to the idea of the eldest grandson, he should not care about the thirty-seven twenty-one, and come to the previous paragraph first, but he was persuaded by Wu Yuanqing and Deng Liangzhi. In their eyes, this country is still very deferential, and they should salute first and then soldiers, and there is really no need to meet and go up.

Changsun Tang finally temporarily suppressed the little bit of caution in his heart, there are still many ways to torture, Liwei is one, but it is not a necessary means.

And according to the soldiers who had escaped, they were attacked in Osaka.

Of course, since he came, Changsun Tang always had to go ashore to feel it.

However, according to the general location, the location of Kagoshima in later generations is actually about the size of a town in the Central Plains. Across the strait is a volcanic peninsula. The low city wall is actually not much different from the fence, and if Changsun Tang plans to capture this place, it will only take one turn and the city wall will be completely demolished.

It doesn't look good on the outside, but it's even worse on the inside.

"Master Hou, this place is a little simpler, and I also invite Master Hou Haihan to have some." This nodding man is the daimyo of this place, and with this samurai of nearly 1,000 people in his hands, he can be regarded as a figure in this area of southern Kyushu. It's just that this Chang'an accent made Changsun Tang think that he had returned to a certain village in Chang'an.

"Are you an envoy to Tang?" The eldest grandson asked with some confusion.

"Yes, my name is Takahashi Rika, and when my father was still in office, he sent me to study in the country for five years, and I only came back the year before last. I have always admired the demeanor of Hou Ye, but I don't want to meet in this situation. The smile on his face was folded, and his waist was more bent. This made Wang Tiedan, who was standing aside, a little disdainful.

"Oh, it seems that you are very familiar with Datang, so what do you say about this?" The eldest grandson asked.

"What's the matter? But what's not going to be good at hospitality? Takahashi Rika was a little puzzled.

"You have detained our Hou Ye's spice ship, don't be confused about this matter." Deng Liangzhi said.

"No, I don't. Where did this begin? Master Hou, even if you give me a few guts, I won't dare. The waist bent lower, and the doubt in his tone was very strong.

Takahashi Rihua thought for a while, and soon understood, and said, "I'm sure this spice ship is not my problem. Maybe something went wrong with another daimyo, but where was the place where he was detained? Isn't it Osaka? ”

"Is this what you should ask? You just need to understand how to solve this problem. Seeing that the eldest grandson didn't want to speak, Deng Liangzhi continued.

"Yes, yes. I'm talking too much. It's just that the situation in my country is very different from yours. Let's put it this way, the current situation in our country is more like the situation in the Spring and Autumn Period of your country, and the emperor gave us this land, and we just need to fulfill certain obligations. So if I hadn't been detained in Kagoshima, I really wouldn't know. "I've seen the domineering Takahashi Rihua of the Tang people, and I even have the heart to cry.

"Then tell me about the actual situation in the current Wa Kingdom." The eldest grandson glanced inside from the so-called city gate, and there was no desire to enter.

"Yes, yes." Takahashi Rika hurriedly agreed for a while, and then immediately replied: "That's the case, the emperor divided the land to us daimyo, and this emperor is our co-master. It's just that recently, the Su I clan has been controlling this court, and Su I Ezo and Su I have entered the deer father and son power. The father and son were in a mess, and with a huge army at their disposal, the power expanded more and more. I'm too far away from their old nest of Osaka, and I'm getting better off here. ”

This Takahashi Rihua said the current situation in the Wa Kingdom in just a few words. Since the ministers are in charge, the political situation of the Wa State at this time must be extremely chaotic.

Seeing the eldest grandson who didn't speak, Deng Liangzhi was a little out of ideas.

"Give us 500 quintals of grain here, and you can take care of the meat. Since you are not the creditor, then we will go to the creditor. Wu Yuanqing said. Since the eldest grandson did not speak, the basic meaning is clear.

"These five hundred quintals of ......" Takahashi Rika's face hurt, according to the even lower productivity of this Japanese country, this is estimated to be the majority of Takahashi Rihua's strategic reserves.

"Comments?" Deng Liangzhi asked.

"No, no. Then I'll go down and prepare. This Takahashi Rihua saw this posture and left in a hurry. I'm afraid that this eldest grandson will increase the weight.

This fleet needs to be repaired here, and it would be nice if it could replenish some substance. At this time, I'm not afraid of what the hell this Takahashi Rihua is doing. After all, there are only two kinds of poisons at this time: mineral poisons and plant poisons, and the toxicity of these two is not large, and even the amount of arsenic needed is not something that Takahashi Rihua can make up. And in the face of strong strength, these little tricks can't be put on the table at all.

This Takahashi Rika naturally won't let himself out of this food, for the daimyo, food is the army, it is the guarantee of security, and with food, there will be a steady stream of troops. Therefore, it was the civilians of Kagoshima who were unlucky in the end to raise food. But this has nothing to do with the eldest grandson.

After spending two days in Kagoshima and extorting some food and fresh water, the fleet continued northward, marching along the coastline towards Osaka, the capital of the Wa Kingdom at the time.

Along the way, Changsun Tang was thinking about how to deal with this incident, the current whereabouts of the crew, and the future policy towards the Japanese state. Given that there are not so many troops at hand at the moment, it is impossible to fully control, or even just control the central power. Out of these, how to get the most benefits. The issue of harmony has been churning in Changsun Tang's mind, and he has not been able to get along with each other for more than a month.

"What are you thinking?" Wu Yuanqing asked, after these days, he has adapted to his existence as the number two person.

The eldest grandson told Wu Yuanqing what he thought.

Wu Yuanqing smiled and said, "I thought it was a big deal, with this idle time, you might as well think more about how to solve my sister's matter." ”

The eldest grandson didn't care about the ridicule of Wu Yuanqing's second half of the sentence, and said in surprise: "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

Originally, Changsun Tang was planning to do something big like massacre, but thinking about the regular combat army with only a few hundred people on hand, this idea was only to do. It's tens of thousands of pigs, and you can't handle it with a pig.

"Why do we need to occupy it, why do we need to control it. You've only been out of Kagoshima for a few days, so you've forgotten all about it? Wu Yuanqing asked rhetorically.

"You mean deterrence by force?" The eldest grandson reacted immediately.

This is not that the eldest grandson realized it later, but with Cheng Xiang, he just thought about the force and conquered it directly, these flowery things really didn't go to the heart, this can be regarded as getting into the tip of the horns.

"That's a good idea, but the size of the garrison is not easy to solve. There is no more, there is no top, and the deterrent effect that can be played by this is much smaller. Hey......" Eldest Sun Tang sighed.

"This is not my problem, you might as well find Deng Liangzhi and ask." Wu Yuanqing's taboos are now more and more, and he has decided not to interfere in these military matters anymore.

Once the tone is set, the details will be much easier. Not long after, Deng Liangzhi rushed over from another ship by a traffic boat.

"Master Hou, you're talking about the issue of deterrence, right?" Naturally, someone was responsible for explaining these words to Deng Liangzhi.

"That's what it means, how do you see how this should work? Anyway, the bottom line is not to use too many troops. Moreover, judging from the current chaotic political situation in the Japanese state, the military strength required must be able to ensure its own security. The eldest grandson thought that with the fickle nature of the Japanese people and the habit of committing the following crimes, it was necessary to take appropriate precautions.

"If that's the case, it's a bit of trouble, what does Master Hou mean that there may be a coup d'état in this country?" It is not for nothing that Deng Liangzhi was able to sit in this position in a short period of time.

"Can you do it?" The eldest grandson was a little worried, if he couldn't even do this, basically this time it would be in vain, and then he realized that the consequences of his brain fever were not very good. It's just that since it's all out, what else can I do?

"There's a compromise on this, and I don't know if it's feasible or not." Deng Liangzhi said.

"Hurry up." Changsun Tang is in a hurry now, and he will not let go if he has a glimmer of hope.

"We can not directly garrison troops, but patrol them every once in a while, so that's fine, now every year there will be a fleet here to escort the spice ship trade, we might as well find a small island in the open sea as a garrison base, use this as a springboard, carry out surveillance of the Japanese state, and if necessary, intervene according to the specific situation." Deng Liangzhi said the idea.

"It's a good idea, and it's still very easy to operate." Changsun Yu said.

"It's just that there's still a problem that needs to be solved." Deng Liangzhi said.

"What's the problem?" Changsun Tang and Wu Yuanqing asked in unison. (To be continued.) )
