Chapter 358: Ryukyu Asks for Help

Let's say that after Changsun Chong knew Li Er's decision, he was grateful to Li Er, at least in Li Er's heart, his eldest Sun Chong's life was important, rather than blindly letting Changsun Chong seek a great cause for him.

But that's fine, there are a lot of things to prepare during this time. Especially for large ships, it is estimated that by next spring, there will be more than 20 large ships that can be launched.

Because of the rapid development of steel smelting technology and cement technology, it has been used by the clever Datang people on big ships, which are harder than building ships with wood. The ships were even larger, and all of them were equipped with steam engines.

This is also the reason why Li Er is full of confidence. During this period, there were also many old courtiers who objected, they were not disloyal to the Tang Dynasty, nor did they disrespect Li Er, but because it was too risky, they crossed the ocean to conquer the Japanese Kingdom, which was more than the handwriting of Emperor Yang of Sui back then.

On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly. The Tang Dynasty had never experienced a cross-sea battle, and they were worried about winning or losing the war, and they could not follow in the footsteps of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Li Er was angry, and the consequences were very serious, so he led everyone to visit the new sea ships, and the battleships, especially the guns inside, could actually hit the high-rise buildings two miles away, and everyone's opposition was gone. If you don't use this sharp weapon, can you play with it in the water?

Time flies quickly, and it looks like it's coming to the end of the year, and everything is ready.

When I was in the court, I met Li Yexu, only to see Li Yexu squeezing his eyes and saying: "Uncle, last night, Yiniang was unwell, and I looked for a doctor, and it turned out that Yiniang had it." ”

"Oh, it's a good thing, my mother must be very happy to hear it." The eldest grandson Chong is happy, in this era, three from four virtues, and if you get married, you have to obey your husband. After having children, you can only gain a foothold in your in-law's house.

"I've already gone to report the good news, it's not that I can't help it, I'll tell you when I see you. Then why didn't you tell my father?" Eldest Sun Chong asked rhetorically.

Li Yexu made a bitter face and said, "Uncle, just spare me." This father-in-law smiled at everyone, but even when he saw me, it was like seeing an enemy, and he drooped his face, and I didn't dare to approach. ”

"Hehe, it's not like my dad doesn't value you. It's that he has to have the majesty of his father-in-law, so that you will bully Yiniang in the future, and my father's level, you will not have a good time, so you will be better for Yiniang in the future. The eldest grandson said with a smile. Yiniang is my father's favorite daughter, and it's good to give you a cold face. If anyone marries my family treasure in the future? I would do the same. Even more excessive. ”

"Yiniang is pregnant, I guess I can go to the battlefield." Li Yexu said excitedly.

When Changsun Chong heard this, he shook his head and said, "You can't go, Chang'an also needs someone to guard it." Besides, your brother is still young, and if you and your grandfather have a bad relationship on the battlefield. There is no one who can afford to support the family. Listen to my brother's advice, you better not go. ”

Li Yexu was gloomy, nodded and said, "Thank you for my uncle's persuasion, I know what to do." It's my grandfather. I'll leave it to my uncle, and I must let my grandfather return to Datang safely. ”

"Your grandfather is the commander of the army, and he will return safely. But you, how could you entrust the safety of the old general of the undefeated god of war to me? Changsun Chong asked with a smile, thinking that Li Yexu's speech was quite funny.

Li Yexu's eyes were eager and said: "My uncle is a capable person, the person I admire most in my life is my grandfather, and the other person is my uncle." ”

"Hehe, although it's a sycophant, I love to hear this. Let's go, drink and go. The eldest grandson rushed to Li Yexu, the clothes and brothers looked so good, he really didn't expect that in the heart of this ghostly and clever Li Yexu, he and Li Jing's evaluation was the same.

Li Yexu shook his head again and again and said: "I don't have time to drink, I still have to buy candied fruit for Yiniang, if it's late, she probably won't be able to eat lunch." ”

"Okay, then I'll drink it another day." The eldest grandson Chong is not reluctant, it is rare for Li Yexu to care so much about his sister, now that his sister is pregnant, it is the most blessed time, and only a man who truly understands the hard work of a woman's pregnancy and the pain of childbirth will truly love his wife. The wife is used to hurt, if the wife is angry, it is okay to let the wife beat a few times, as long as it can dissipate the anger.

Approaching the end of the year, Datang ushered in the request for help from Suranan, the minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and personally fled to Datang with a few guards to ask for Datang support.

In the court, Suran prostrate on the ground, weeping bitterly, said that the Japanese Kingdom was too much, and actually ransacked the royal family of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

If Li Er hadn't known from Dai Zhicheng in advance, it was not from the hands of the Tang Dynasty, but the people who stayed in the Wa Kingdom encouraged the Wa King to say that there was a large amount of gold and silver in the Ryukyu Kingdom. Datang has advanced metallurgical technology and can serve the Wa Kingdom.

At first, the king of the Wa Kingdom didn't believe it, so he secretly went to the Ryukyu Kingdom to get a boatload of ore, and it turned out that a lot of yellow, orange and orange gold was really smelted. The seeds of greed were planted, and they began to plot against the mines of the Ryukyus.

Of course, gold can be smelted from the stones of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and it is a rich mine, and it is also leaked to the Ryukyu authorities, and once it is examined, they can't help but be happy.

When the Japanese saw the fat in their mouths, they flew away, and when they couldn't buy it, they began to grab it by force. It was precisely because the Wa Kingdom had always coveted the Ryukyu Kingdom and wanted to turn the Ryukyu Kingdom into a dependent territory of the Wa Kingdom, so they planned this conspiracy and sent the so-called Shinobi to kill all the royal family members of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

After Dai Zhicheng found out, he was very shocked, and told Li Er about 1510.

Li Er was afraid after hearing this, the methods of this Wa Kingdom were too vicious, and there were hundreds of people in the entire royal family, but there was not a single one left. If the Wa Kingdom used these people to deal with him, what would be the result?

This country must be eliminated, and if it is not removed, it will not work!

Li Er hurriedly persuaded Suran and said, "What happened to the Ryukyu royal family, I am shocked and sad. I am determined to seek justice for the vassal state. However, the weather is cold and cold, and it is not easy to cross the ocean, so I must be prepared to act. ”

"If it weren't for Lord Dai, who actively organized the local people to resist the Japanese state, our Ryukyu Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago, thank you to the emperor of the Celestial Empire." Su Lanan cried and said, he fled to Datang in a hurry, and he didn't know what happened to his family now?

Li Erzhen said: "Lord Su, wait patiently in Chang'an for a while, and you will inevitably let someone be sent over to defend the Ryukyu Kingdom." ”

With a valid reason, no one spoke in the rising sun. Everyone was moved by the maintenance of the Tang Dynasty, but they also sympathized with the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the country would no longer be a country.

After a month of troop transfer, Li Jing, as the commander of the army, led 50,000 sailors, grain and grass, and five boats of rice seeds to the Ryukyu Kingdom to establish a military base.

Before leaving, the children of Princess Changle and Liu Muxiang were not over the age of one, but Changsun Chong had to go to the battlefield.

After Liu Muxiang weighed the pros and cons, she was worried about the safety of her eldest grandson, so she made up her mind to follow her, but she was reluctant to give up her daughter. But he also knew that if there was no eldest grandson Chong, then she and her daughter would have a very hard time in the future.

But if she goes out with Changsun Chong, even if she has an accident, Princess Changle will not treat her daughter badly.

Liu Muxiang packed her bags, and then took Bao'er to the main house where Princess Changle lived.

Princess Changle heard that Liu Muxiang was holding Bao'er and asked to see her, so she asked her to come in. For a long time, I have been getting along well with Liu Muxiang, and I am also kind to Liu Muxiang.

Liu Muxiang knelt in front of Princess Changle with the child in her arms and said, "Muxiang asks the princess to take care of Bao'er. ”

"You're good, why do you let me take care of Bao'er?" Although Princess Changle also likes the cute Bao'er, she was not born by herself after all, and Bao'er also has her own mother.

Liu Muxiang said: "Princess, Xianggong went on an expedition this time, drifting across the ocean, the road is far away, Muxiang wants to follow the past and protect Xianggong with his life." ”

Princess Changle was taken aback and stammered, "This can't be like this, right?" It seems that there are no women in the barracks. ”

Liu Muxiang continued: "My martial arts skills are very high, even higher than Huo Qiang, I protect him by Xianggong's side, and Xianggong can come back more safely." It's just that my daughter is still young, so I can only entrust you to raise Bao'er on her behalf. If I can't come back, I beg the princess to raise Bao'er on my behalf, so that she can grow up healthy. ”

Princess Changle was moved in her heart, if she had such a high level of martial arts, she would also follow, if Liu Muxiang followed, her cousin would be safer, so she nodded and said: "Bao'er, just put it here with me, I will feed it as my own daughter, but this matter, I still need my mother's consent to let you go with Xianggong." ”

"Thank you, princess!" Liu Muxiang handed Bao'er to Princess Changle and went to the Dou family.

Seeing that Liu Muxiang insisted on going and taking back his son, Dou had no reason to refuse, so he allowed it. Liu Muxiang changed into a battle robe and caught up with Changsun Chong and got on the boat together.

Princess Changle hugged Bao'er, looking at the back of holding a spear and riding on a horse, heroically willow wood. They can sacrifice their lives for the sake of the man they love.

"Changle, treat Bao'er well, Mu Xiang is protecting Chong'er with her life, and we can't let her chill." Dou Shi said slowly, she was worried that Princess Changle would not wait to see Bao'er.

If so, then she will raise Bao'er herself.

Princess Changle is not a fool, and when she heard the deep meaning in Dou's words, she said: "Mother is right, Sister Muxiang, you hand over Bao'er to me before leaving, and Changle will definitely take care of Bao'er until Sister Muxiang comes back." Anyway, now Bin'er and Bao'er are a few months apart, one is also a belt, and two are also belts, both are the same. ”

"Well, it's good that you can think like this, Mu Xiang is a good woman, Changle you are also a general knowledge, having the two of you is a blessing that Chong'er cultivated in his previous life. Chong'er went on the expedition, and we must unite and settle at home. Dou said with emotion, fortunately, the master is still in Chang'an, and the backbone of the family is still there, so she is not afraid.

"Mother, Changle knows. Xianggong is not at home, Changle, as the eldest sister-in-law, should share her mother's worries and wait for Xiang'an to come back. Princess Changle said respectfully, looking into the distance.

"Hmmm! So much better! "Dou's jaw head.

But Dou never expected that this battle would be fought for so long, and even start a war with two countries at the same time. She originally thought that her son would be able to come back in half a year, but it took three full years to come back. (To be continued......)
