In Tamna Harbor, a man with slender eyes stood at the bow of the boat, and in front of him, a man with a small beard.

"This time I came to Tamna, and I have to worry about the star master." The man with the slender eyes said.

"Naturally, naturally, I will definitely serve the general!" The rickety, short man looked flattering.

He is the current county warden of Tamna County, and eight years ago, Goryeo changed Tamna to a county, but they still appointed them as the county guard. But at the same time, Goryeo also sent sergeants, called protecting the guards, who were actually overseers.

"There are three hundred sergeants with me, you have to arrange to come, don't be lazy!" The slender-eyed man said again.

This person's surname is Tuo, his name is Junjing, he is the privy council of Goryeo, and he is a close confidant of the current king of Goryeo.

Hearing his words, the Tamna County Guard, also known as the so-called "Star Lord", nodded and said: "Don't worry, the lower officials have already prepared wine and meat......

Before he finished speaking, he saw Tuo Junjing's eyes looking towards a corner.

On the docks, a group of men in clogs, with knives around their waists and shaved hairstyles of all kinds, were pointing in this direction.

"Who is that?" Tuo Junjing asked with a frown.

"Oh, it's a Japanese merchant, they arrived in Tamna the day before yesterday, and they will go to Song for a little supply here." Star Master Road.

"Huh, merchant with a knife?" Tuo Junjing's complexion changed slightly.

Japan is a big country in the eastern part of the sea, and Goryeo has never suffered Japan's losses in history, so they are very jealous of this country and have instinctive vigilance.

"How many ships over there, all of them are theirs?" Tuo Junjing asked again.

Japan's shipbuilding skills were not very skilled, and if they wanted to be more reliable when traveling to and from the East China Sea, they generally chose to take the ships of Song merchants. Tuo Junjing noticed that the sea ships were all Chinese-style hard sails, so he guessed.

"They came, but they were merchant ships of Song merchants."

"This is what you said about the merchant ships of the Song Kingdom when you played the imperial court?" Tuo Junjing asked again.

He came to Tamna this time not for nothing, otherwise he would not have appeared here with his identity. Just two months ago, the lord of Tamna Star played the lord of Goryeo, saying that there were Song merchant ships that frequently haunted the vicinity of Tamna, and even docked and anchored, but there were no trade products other than replenishing water and food, and it did not look like they were coming to do business, but to peek at the reality of Tamna.

Upon receiving this news, Goryeo was greatly alarmed, and they now called Liao vassals, but also maintained friendly relations with the Great Song. It's just that Tamna is different, it is the land they newly annexed, whether it is the Liao State or the Great Song Dynasty, which is not allowed to be recognized.

In addition, Japan, which is across the sea, is also said to be very interested in this island, and from time to time Japanese pirates will float here to harass the safety of Tamna.

"No, the ships...... Something weird! ”

"Weird?"

"Yes, their ship form, and their sail ......"

The star lord of Tamna couldn't tell what was wrong, Tuo Junjing snorted, and then pointed to the Japanese who were pointing over there: "Find a few people who can talk, bring them here, I have something to ask!" ”

However, it is a pity that he could not find anyone who could speak Goryeo, but a Japanese man who was a little taller and better dressed was brought in, and he saluted him neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said in Song dialect: "I don't know what the officials have to ask about Yu." ”

"Why are so many of you here?" Tuo Junjing also asked in Song dialect.

Although the accents of both of them are very strange, at this time, the Chinese language is the common language of the entire East Asian world, and even guessing and listening can distinguish the meaning of the two sides.

"Yu and the others are from Hanoi, Japan, and they came to trade with the Song Kingdom."

"Trade with the Song Kingdom? Didn't you Japan promulgate the three major prohibitions, how dare you come to trade with the Song Kingdom! ”

After the Anshi Rebellion, Japan severed its ties with China and successively issued three bans, namely the sea-crossing system, the purchase ban and the age fixation. The first of these three prohibitions was to restrict Japanese people from traveling to China, so that some monks who made pilgrimages to China to seek Dharma could only rely on merchant ships to smuggle their money; The second is that the goods of the Song Kingdom are not priced by the government, and no one is allowed to buy them, which restricts the import of goods in the Song Dynasty; Article 3 stipulates the time for Song merchants to travel between the two countries, and the same group of merchants must be separated by more than two years before they can go to Japan again, which restricts the arrival of Song merchants in Japan.

The Japanese heard Tuo Junjing's face change when he heard Tuo Junjing mention the three major prohibitions, he didn't expect to meet a Goryeo official here, and this official was still very familiar with Japanese affairs.

"When Yu and the others came, they got permission from the imperial court, and the ministers in the imperial court were very interested in the new products of the Song Kingdom in recent years."

The so-called new products are luxury goods such as snow candy, bicycles, and glassware. The merchants of the Song Kingdom had an extremely keen sense of smell, and when these things became popular in the Song Dynasty, some merchants immediately shipped them to Japan. Although the Japanese government set their prices very high, the ministers and nobles in large cities such as Heiankyo still flocked to them.

To their annoyance, the merchants of the Song Kingdom who sold these items were not interested in traditional Japanese export products such as knives and folding fans, and they only exchanged these items for three types: gold, silver, and copper.

The price of snow sugar is almost equal to that of silver, and the price of fine glassware is equal to that of equally important gold. If you don't have gold or silver, you can use copper, but you don't need copper coins from Japan, you just need copper ingots.

Such a lucrative business naturally aroused the greed of some powerful people, coupled with the instigation of well-intentioned people, like these Japanese now, they were sent by a branch of the famous Japanese samurai Genji.

But for Tuo Junjing, of course, the Japanese had to keep it a secret, so he pushed it to the secretary of the imperial court.

"I see...... That's what happened! ”

Takujun Kyo believed half of it, and half of it was because the Japanese came too much, and they all brought blades.

He warned the Japanese to abide by the laws of Goryeo in Tamna, and one of the Japanese people raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but the Japanese held him down, and he only whispered.

After he retreated, one of the people beside him couldn't help but say: "As far as Yu knows, Tamna has also paid tribute to our country, and our country has promised to protect its status, Gao Yajun, why don't you fight for it with reason?" ”

"The purpose of our trip is not in Tamluo, but in the Great Song Dynasty, and we must not make extraneous branches." The Japanese who are known as Takaya-kun.

"Tamna is only a small country, and there are only a few hundred soldiers in the whole country, and they are short and cowardly, as long as we rush and kill, we can defeat them all. Occupy Tamna, whether we pass through Goryeo or peep into the Central Plains in the future, we will have an outpost! ”

"What Ishibashi said is true, but the Koreans sent reinforcements, didn't you notice, there are three hundred people, and the number has already surpassed us! Our first purpose is to reach Mingzhou or Mizhou in the Song Kingdom, hand over the national plan to the Song State Coastal Control Envoy, and then return here after completing the mission, and if the Koreans leave, then we will make this meritorious feat again! ”

Takaya and Ishibashi are all branches of the Genji, but the people who were sent out were naturally not important figures. But the ambition of the two men was not small, and they only wanted to make a name for themselves, and they did not hesitate to take risks to do so, even involving the Genji family - this is also a long-standing Japanese tradition.

Because Tamna is a small country, there is not much space for these Japanese to live, and most of the time they still live on boats. Originally, they were going to stay in Tamna for a few days, replenish food and water, and then set off, but before they could leave for the sea, they were frightened by a cloud sail on the sea.

There are more than ten big ships, heading towards Tamna!

These more than ten large ships are all sailing ships of the Song Kingdom, the largest one is about 5,000 materials, and the small one is also 800 materials, they are arranged on the sea, and they look very imposing.

It was early in the morning, the sky was bright, and the Tamnaites were shocked when they noticed these many ships, and immediately raised the alarm.

In the past, there were many times that the Song sea ships came to Tamna, and even the sailors of the Song Kingdom occasionally cruised the Tamna sea area, but generally there were one or two ships, and there were never more than ten big ships like this!

"Hahahaha...... Zhou Quan has some skills, but he didn't expect that he could have such a mystery at sea...... But now it's convenient for us! ”

Lu Jinyi stood on the big ship of five thousand materials, looked at Tamna Island, which was getting closer and closer, and said excitedly.

Not only him, everyone was extremely excited, after all, after floating on the sea for nearly ten days, he finally arrived at his destination, who was not happy!

"It's really the old man's blessing." Xiao Yi said beside him.

"Indeed, the weather is good these days, there are no strong winds and waves, we fought all the way from Liangshan to Mizhou, and the imperial court failed to stop it...... Now that the imperial court has mobilized an army, it can only follow us and eat fart! "Nicknamed the high-legged Gao Hun Dao.

He is Lu Jinyi's hardcore brother, and after Huo and Wang Lun, he has changed from the original nominal second leader to the real second master.

"Send the flag and tell the brothers, prepare for war, our heroes in Liangshanluo can still be the king and hegemon on this sea now!" Lu Jinyi shouted.

The flag language was created by Zhou Quan in Haizhou, and once it was determined, it immediately became popular on the sea. Lu Jinyi and his team went to Mizhou, plundered Banqiao Town, and captured nine sea ships, and even five warships from the hands of the Great Song Dynasty sailors, plus two sea ships presented by Li Qing, a native of Mizhou, to make up sixteen ships. The strongmen who were moved by his wealth and children and could not stay in the Great Song Dynasty at the same time, a total of 2,500 people, went to sea with him.

However, although there were no strong winds and waves at sea, two ships were still lost, but fortunately, they were only small boats, and there were not many people on board, which did not affect their strength.

"Someone from Tamna is coming!" Seeing that there was a faint panic on the shore, and then three boats went out to sea and came towards his side of the fleet, Xiao Yi shouted.

"Smaller than our smallest boat...... Hugh should ignore him, if he dares to approach, he will be directly sinked! Lu Jinyi was full of spirit.

Those three ships are all the sailors of Tamna, and the star lord of Tamna got the news and quickly went to find Tuo Junjing by himself.

After Tuo Junjing heard the news, he rushed to the dock with him, but what he saw was a big ship from the Song Kingdom, knocking over all three small boats in Tamna!
