Chapter 0596 - I'm going to settle old accounts
This time, the Great Song Dynasty went to Ryukyu for the wedding mission, the head of the delegation was the Empress Dowager, and the deputy envoy was Ye Tao, the direct speaker of the Guozijian. This Ye Tao is very familiar with Song Shenzong Lu Dongbin, Wang Anshi and Zhang Guolao, and also knows Han Zhongli and Uncle Cao Guo, so in order to prevent leakage, the eight immortals unanimously passed, and the eight of us came to Ryukyu only for sightseeing, business negotiations and interactions, and found our Minister of Commerce Ye Gucheng.
Now, these eight immortals, wearing robes and hoods, basically don't show their true colors. Today, the eight immortals are very happy, and the eight immortals have made it up. Xiang Empress Dowager He Xiangu said to Ye Tao, you are fully responsible for the affairs of the delegation, I live in the palace of King Jinghai, and the bride Queen Hudong is my sister-in-law, as her mother's family, I have to take care of it.
Lan Caihe, who went to Africa to find coffee beans, came back with a few men and women from the Black Cat Corps, bringing a lot of wild coffee beans, Wang Mumu was very satisfied, and said, when I finish processing, please drink, and now I go to drink, that is asking for hardship.
Wang Mumu was resolute and called Xiao Zhixian to the coffee beans, and told her how to make elephant coffee. Listening to Lan Caihe at the foot of the wall, he turned his stomach and vomitedββ,Mom, this prince loves elephants more than the eight immortals, I have come all the way to bring back the coffee beans for the elephant first, and then take out the things in the bar that the elephant has eaten and have not digested and cook it for us to eat?" Vomiting ββγ
Now, Guo Kui has come to visit the Eight Immortals. In this world, in addition to the parties involved, in addition to Wang Mumu and his wife and concubine, the secret of the Eight Immortals is only Guo Kui. Guo Kui reported to the Eight Immortals the results of his reconnaissance of the Shamaoshan station of the Jiaozhi delegation, and he reported that the head of the Jiaozhi delegation, Princess Jinzuan, Xiao Helen, had avoided Li Daocheng and Li Changjie because of Hu Erke and Erniang, and went to northern Vietnam to find roots and visit relatives, and actually went to Kaohsiung to fly to the sky.
Li Yuanping, the iron crutch in the Eight Immortals, was originally a general of Jiaozhi, and he was a member of the party of Empress Dowager Yang, the biological mother of Little Helen, who was buried alive. Later, after a battle, he was captured by Little Helen and reformed again, so he became a die-hard fan of Little Helen. Later, he also participated in exposing and criticizing the eight women of the grass ghosts, so he was very familiar with Song Shenzong, Empress Xiang, Yuwen Rounu and Hu Dong. Guo Kui knows all these inside information, so Guo Kui's willingness to attack Li Changjie has never been hidden in front of his face.
Tie Guan Li didn't know that Xiao Helen's husband-to-be Hu Er's husband Hu Erniang was dressed as a man, so he always had a hidden worry in his heart, that is, he heard that this little Helen had a very good relationship with her husband-to-be Hu Erke, and it was a little greasy. And this champion Lang Hu Erke is obviously a person related to the Jiaozhi royal family, and the national teacher Li Daocheng is also a special iron person. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the royal family to let him jump the top three in the exam, and it would be impossible for him to live in the home of the national teacher Li Daocheng. In this case, you Guo Kui are now going to move Li Changjie, the deputy head of the Jiaozhi delegation, so aren't you refuting the face of the head of the delegation, Xiao Helen? Besides, because of Xiao Helen's own relationship with her husband-to-be, can you Guo Kui guarantee that Little Helen will definitely be on your side? And not on the side of the Cochin royal family? What's more, she is also a princess of Jiaozhi after all! In this regard, Tie Guan Li was worried.
Guo Kui wanted to get rid of Li Changjie in his heart, and his wishes were also strongly supported by Lu Dongbin, Zhang Guolao, Han Zhongli, Uncle Cao Guo, and He Xiangu, even Han Xiangzi and Lan Caihe did not object, and of course it was difficult for Tie Guan Li to say anything. Guo Kui reported his battle plan to everyone, saying that recently, because of a fight on the Harvard campus with people from the Chola Kingdom and the former Pandia Kingdom from the Indian Peninsula, the Pandia Sanlaqiput viciously fought against the twelve warriors of the Chola Kingdom, and the result was that the Harvard student soldiers who followed behind took action to prevent the expansion of the situation, and in order to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents, the management authorities of the Ryukyus posted a notice warning all those who have a tendency to violate rules and regulations and laws and regulations that no one is allowed to make trouble here, and if there are those who do not comply, they will be deported from the country. The heavier ones should be dealt with strictly according to the law.
Guo Kui said, "Therefore, we can't attack him on Ryukyu Island, and we have to wait for him to leave Ryukyu before we do it." However, it is clear that the Cochin fleet came to celebrate the wedding, and after they left the Ryukyus, they returned to China directly, and there were 16,700 kilometers of sea routes, and we could only do it after they left the Ryukyus. At the same time, I also won two allies, one is, I also greeted Ye Tao of the Great Song Dynasty, this Li Changjie and the Jiaozhi people are also their old enemies, and now they have 600 warships. Therefore, when the Cochin's fleet left the Ryukyus, they could stay far behind to prevent the Cochin's fleet from escaping back to the land of the Ryukyus. The second is that I contacted Nariya of Champa, and they also have 300 boats this time, so after the Cochin fleet leaves the Ryukyus, their Cham fleet can help us hold down one wing. This Cham and Jiaozhi are enemies of life and death, and they wish that Jiaozhi could damage the soldiers. In the end, we Luzon ourselves had 100 boats, and we took the lead. I judged that when the other side's fleet left Taipei, it must have traveled south along the west coast of the Ryukyus, entering the South China Sea from the Taiwan Strait and returning home. I planned that when the other side's fleet traveled more than 200 kilometers south and crossed the west side of Taichung, we would appear and force its course to move westward. For the next 100 kilometers, we can purposefully force it towards the Penghu Islands, and as soon as they get close to the Penghu Islands, our ambush begins. For this battle, my goal is to completely annihilate the opponents, so that they will disappear from the sea without a trace.
At this time, Han Zhongli wanted to speak. This Han Zhongli is a kind of man, who once moved to Yan Yan Jingluo to appease the deputy envoy, while Guo Kui served as a privy envoy, so the two had a very clear relationship between superiors and subordinates. Now he has a question: "General Guo, there is something unclear, please ask for advice." That is, the three-way attacking army you mentioned, namely the Song army, the Cham army, and the Luzon army, why didn't you consider entering the Ryukyu army? β
Guo Kui said a little embarrassed: "Well, I haven't taken the Ryukyu army into account for the time being, to be honest, the 300 boats in Jiaozhi are here to congratulate the wedding, and they are here to congratulate our prince and the queen on the marriage, if I let the Ryukyu and Harvard armies go to kill this wedding team, I am worried, will the prince of Mumu be unhappy because of this?" β
Uncle Cao Guo spoke: "I will definitely be unhappy!" The two countries are at war, and they are not yet killed. People came to congratulate the wedding, and you posted a post to invite people to come, but you came to a pot? Your behavior is too undignified for you. β
Tie Guan Li was worried about Little Helen: "General Guo, if you really make a pot, won't Li Weihua, the head of the Jiaozhi delegation, the Golden Diamond Princess, also be hurt?" β
Guo Kui knew the status of Little Helen in the hearts of the eldest princess and Wang Mumu, and hurriedly explained: "Please rest assured, I will make sure that Little Helen is not in this fleet before I do it." Even before the boat, little Helen wanted to go with her, and I thought about it, so I came to remember the false decree and said that Wang Mumu had something to find her, and she would definitely go to Wang Mumu by herself. β
He Xiangu asked the Empress Dowager a question: "General Guo, is it as you mentioned earlier, afraid of ruining Wang Mumu's newlywed joy, so not only did you not arrange the Ryukyu and Harvard armies in the attacking team, I'm afraid that in the process of attacking, the use of Harvard's divine weapons is not very convenient, isn't it?" β
Zhang Guo's old Wang Anshi also spoke: "General Guo, I understand your mood, I am the same as you. But. Objectively speaking, look at the three naval armies in your heart, the Great Song Dynasty came with 600 warships this time, which is a lot of them, but what about the combat power? I'm afraid it's worrying. And they didn't have a warrant from the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty, so they didn't dare to provoke a war in vain, after all, their mission this trip was to come to Ryukyu to celebrate their wedding. Second, let's look at the Cham army, this time they want to save face, and they came to Jiaozhi with 300 boats, and they also got together 300 boats. But if you go to the dock and take a look, that spirit and equipment are far worse than Cochin. No wonder, the Cham country has been bullied by Jiaozhi and has not been able to turn over, and the military literacy is really incomparable! Thirdly, the Luzon Navy you mentioned, this army, in fact, did not all listen to us, they are very clear about their phased mission objectives, for example, now, they are to protect us safely between the Ryukyus and Luzon. If you want them to be offside, I'm afraid it's harder than heaven. I think that at the beginning, when the eight of us had not yet arrived in Luzon, didn't Ye Gucheng want to command these ships to help him smuggle precious metals? As a result, the navy does not go ashore, and they stay away from you and do not pee on you. It's a shame that there is a little Zhixian in the middle and a little mud, otherwise he would really be alone. So, General Guo, how much strength does our side have, do you really know? β
Guo Kui was speechless, and Zhang Guolao straightened out the soft underbelly part that he deliberately forgot and avoided. Of course, he knew these questions, but he hadn't figured out what to do or how to move the ship, so he made a selective forgetfulness and avoidance for the time being.
Han Zhongli said: "Otherwise, General Guo, you come up with two plans, one is to completely annihilate the 600 ships of the Jiaozhi naval army; The second is only for Li Changjie alone, an assassination or something, a two-pronged approach, there is always one that can be suitable. β
Lu Dongbin Song Shenzong said: "Han Zhongli is very appropriate to say this, make preparations with both hands, we can't reverse the priority, after all, this time we came to Ryukyu to congratulate the wedding, and the other things are of the nature of cuddling, don't let the sesame seeds smash the watermelon." β
Guo Kui thought for a while and said, "Okay, let me think about this matter again, then, take it off for the time being, and I'll report to you now about the arrangements for this wedding of the Mumu prince." In this era, regardless of the people of the Son of Heaven, marriage, pay attention to a 'three books and six ceremonies', its meaning is that through these processes, relatives, neighbors and society are recognized and guaranteed. The problem is that this time we held an open group wedding, with a large number of applicants, and mainly Harvard students, and the students of Harvard's first phase are basically orphans, and many people don't even know their exact birthdays. His birthday is this date, his rebirth with Yuwen Rounu is this date, and the eldest princess's birthday is also this date, so everyone filled in this date. Boss Bai Er said, okay, on May 12 in the future, the canteens and restaurants on the island will only serve noodles, and everyone will celebrate their birthdays together. So, you think, can you still do anything for this wedding? Because there is no male or female family at all, there are no more complicated six rituals. I don't know exactly how far this reform will go, let's wait and see, the wedding will be a wonderful drama for seven days. This wedding lasted for seven days. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, I heard that the first day is the 'Three Books Day', and the 'Three Books' are the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcome. This is a valid written record for the protection of marriage. The eldest princess said, we can't let our children be wronged, so everything is according to the rules, and the three books are reformed into marriage certificates, which are designed and printed by the Academy of Fine Arts, and filled in the questions, and issued uniformly. On this day, noon is a unity meal, and in the evening is a centennial wedding show; The next day is the 'Nacai' day, and all the defects in the 'Six Rites' are filled day by day from this day. Some brides and grooms said that they would sing on this day, remembering the bittersweet and thanksgiving; On the third day, it was the day of 'asking for names', although the actual situation was very different from the original meaning of the 'six rites', but everyone enjoyed the 'six rites' with the prince. The bride and groom said that this is a celebration of the newlywed in heaven and on earth; On the fourth day, it is the 'Naji' day, and the eldest princess will invite the mages and gods to bless the bride and groom, and everything will be happy; on the fifth day, it is the 'Naji' day, and the eldest princess said that many brides and grooms are poor and white when they come to the Ryukyus, so on this day, they will give the wedding house, so everyone should unite and move each other into a new house; on the sixth day, it is the 'please date', and the island will celebrate tomorrow well; on the seventh day, it is the 'personal welcome' day, and the eldest princess has a private message to the newlyweds, which is a family planning talk about the national policy......
