After listening to the suggestions of the people, the lord of the Wa Kingdom made a concluding speech and said, "Prince Ono, you are in charge of recruiting troops throughout the country; Umegawa Daisang, you are in charge of ninjas, and I hope you can work out a battle plan as soon as possible; Takagi Aiqing, you go to Datang to buy us time for buffer. When you arrive in Datang, you must not collide with Datang and arouse their disgust, everything must be patient first. ”

Junzo Ono, Yudai Umegawa, and Toshio Takagi said at the same time: "Yes! Your Highness. "When the time comes, bring more people, and you won't have to worry about your life. Instead, if you stay in the country, you may die. Yesterday, my grandfather analyzed the situation between the two countries and felt that the victory or defeat of the Japanese country was five or five, and now the family has begun to think of a retreat strategy. Going away from Datang is also one of the strategies.

"As for the grain and grass, this king personally supervises, even if this king eats chaff and vegetables, he can't make our soldiers hungry." The lord of the Wa Kingdom said sensationally, the surface work was very good, and he had long forgotten the dozens of dishes yesterday, he only ate a few bites, and all of them were wasted.

"His Royal Highness loves the people like a son, which is admirable." Everyone patted their and said, changing the previous disgraced atmosphere. However, these words are just the words of the lord of the country, but the people at the bottom outside, and their close ministers will not believe that the lord of the country will be so frugal.

The lord of the Wa kingdom prepared a rare meal, and in order to show his frugality, there was only rice porridge and pickles. Although it was simple, I was called up in the middle of the night, and after working for a long time, I felt very fragrant while eating rice porridge.

The whole country of the Japanese kingdom has entered a state of emergency war to meet the attack of the Tang Dynasty. But in the past five days, there was no sign of an attack in Datang, which made the Japanese people puzzled.

Li Jing and Changsun Chong and others captured Kyushu with lightning speed, and the next work is to digest the hunger of this place, and then continue to remediate the surrounding islands. A large number of captives. was sent to Datang; A large number of Ryukyu people moved here, and one person owned 20 acres of land, and if a family of five had 100 acres of land, all of which were divided to the people for free, and only 30% of the grain needed to be paid as a tax every year, and money could also be paid.

As for the people who moved over from the Tang Dynasty, they came all the way, so naturally they couldn't be treated badly. If a person has 50 acres of land and a family of five, there will be more than 200 acres of land. The arrival of these Datang people brought advanced farming technology and advanced agricultural tools. A family of more than 200 acres. It's not difficult for the whole family to be busy.

The people who can't live in Datang. They have chosen to immigrate. When you come here, you can get hundreds of acres of land and become a landlord who is not big or small. With the experience of the first few times in China, the people of Datang chose to unconditionally respond to the call of the imperial court, packed their luggage, and prepared to find more happy land.

The eldest grandson rushed over to Li Jing and said, "General Li." We received a tip-off that the Wa Kingdom had sent someone to Chang'an to sue for peace, what should we do? ”

Li Jing didn't raise his eyes and said, "If he wants to make peace, he will ask for peace." Where is it so much fine. Anyway, they won't be able to get to Chang'an, so it won't affect us. ”

The eldest grandson Chong was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of Li Jing's meaning, probably wanting to kill these Japanese envoys in the middle of the road, and the envoys did not arrive in Chang'an, what kind of peace. He was still nervous just now, but he didn't expect that General Li was just an understatement, and he had already fixed the tone.

"Hehe, that's what I said, then we have completely controlled Kyushu now, and then we are waiting for the people who have migrated from the Tang Dynasty." The eldest grandson Chong said in a deep voice, now that all the people who have migrated here are the people of Ryukyu, and if they can't let the people of Ryukyu occupy all the benefits, then they will not work in vain to contribute money and efforts to fight.

Li Jing hesitated a little and asked: "I read the article you wrote, the people of the Tang Dynasty are fifty acres per person, and the people of Ryukyu are twenty acres per person, there is a lot of difference, is it inappropriate?" ”

The eldest grandson Chong listened and said: "What's wrong, let's not talk about it before the Sui Dynasty, since Gaozu ascended the throne, he has paid taxes in pieces, and he has paid it for nineteen years so far, but what have the indigenous people of Ryukyu done for the Tang Dynasty?" Except for some things that are offered every year, there are none, so we have to treat them differently. Otherwise, how can the people of Datang be embarrassed. ”

"That being said, but the people of Ryukyu have now become the people of the Tang Dynasty, and if we do this, the people of Ryukyu will have different hearts." Li Jing reminded that he didn't want the eldest grandson Chong to be missing.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Chong said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if you have different intentions, they are still a few restless greedy people." If these Ryukyuan people think like this, then they are no different from the Tang Dynasty, so why should the Tang Dynasty think about them in everything. ”

Although Ryukyu has been incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, the indigenous people of Ryukyu are also the people of the Tang Dynasty, but they are different from the people of the Tang Dynasty. The local people of the Tang Dynasty paid taxes every year, contributed money and efforts, and contributed to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, while the local people of the Ryukyus did not, so the benefits they should enjoy were naturally more than those of the indigenous people of the Ryukyus.

Li Jing couldn't persuade him, and said: "Since you have thought about all aspects, then I won't say more, in terms of government affairs, you are still doing it." ”

"The general's words are to the point, no one can compare to you on the battlefield, but in government affairs, it can be said that no one can compare to me." Changsun Chong said with a smile, "I received a tip, and the Wa Kingdom is ready to send ninjas to capture you alive, the King of the Ryukyus, and the last general." This time, I would like to tell you that you should be more careful. ”

When Li Jing heard this, he didn't care and said: "Hehe, they take it for granted, no matter who among the three of us is arrested, the country will not die well." Not only will it not make Datang compromise, but it will cause Datang to be even more angry. ”

"It's also said that people like us would rather be broken than be broken, once they are caught, they will never be willing to become the handle of the Japanese State to blackmail the Tang Dynasty." Changsun Chong said with emotion, so even if he fights to the death, he can't be caught.

Li Jing smiled, patted Changsun Chong's shoulder and said, "It's too rigid and easy to break, don't think about death at every turn." Han Xin can still endure the humiliation of his crotch, what is it if he is captured. It is better to die than to live, as long as you do not betray your country and conscience, you will live no matter how much you nest. You must know that your life is not yours alone, but a family, and even more so of the court. ”

Changsun Chong was surprised, he really didn't expect Li Jing to say such a thing, indeed as Li Jing said, it is better to die than to live, Changsun Chong thought that everyone would be righteous Ling Ran.

"But if you are captured and come back alive, can you still be reused by Your Majesty? It's better to die. Eldest Sun Chong insisted on his own thoughts, wanting to see what Li Jing said.

"Then will you betray Datang?" Li Jing asked rhetorically.

Eldest Sun Chong shook his head and said, "I won't die." ”

"Then what are you worried about, if it is because you have been captured, Your Majesty will not use you, it is Your Majesty's loss, not your reason, worthy of your own conscience, why should you care about other people's thoughts." Li Jing's decades of experience can see everything, and only life is the most important.

"It makes sense to hear you say that. I'm okay, there is a wood fragrance around me, and those ninjas will not succeed; As for you, you are even more alert, and it is difficult for the Japanese people to start; There is only the king of the Ryukyus, although there are a lot of guards around him, but this kid has always come against me these days, and I am worried that he will make trouble himself. "Changsun Chong really has a headache, originally thought that Li You would be able to be obedient, but recently Li You feels safe, and even feels that fighting is nothing more than this, and it is easy to win. If this battle is fought by him, it can also be won.

Li Jing shook his head and said, "You said how good it was to leave him in Ryukyu, you have to bring him over." We occupied Kyushu only because we took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Japanese country and took advantage of it. When the king of the Ryukyus saw it, he thought that it was easy to fight, so he despised it. ”

"The battlefield is never just about conquest, it's about reverence." The eldest grandson Chong echoed and said, "The matter has come to this point, and we can only send more people over to protect Li You." ”

"That's all there is to it." Li Jing bowed.

After the eldest grandson rushed back, he explained to Huo Qiang and said: "Be sure to send more people to the side of the Ryukyu King, and the Wa Kingdom has sent a lot of ninjas." ”

"Yes, General Changsun, my subordinates will do it immediately." Huo Qiang didn't dare to be careless, although Li You was not talented, he couldn't let Li You have an accident under the noses of these people.

Seeing that Huo Qiang was gone, Liu Muxiang said, "Then the ninja of the Japanese Kingdom won't be so bold, right?" ”

"You can't deduce the actions of the Wakoku with normal thinking, and the Wakoku didn't just kill the royal family of the Ryukyu Kingdom before. It can be seen from this that on the one hand, they sent people to sue for peace, and on the other hand, they took the opportunity to come over to look for opportunities. Fortunately, Dai Zhicheng had planted a few nails in the Wa Kingdom before, if not, we would be very passive now. Changsun Chong said with emotion, "I have you by my side, don't worry, thank you Muxiang, hard work." ”

"The old husband and wife still say such things." Liu Muxiang said angrily, "I made you a cup of hot tea, let's drink it quickly." ”

The eldest grandson Chong took the tea, he was now accustomed to the willow wood fragrance and said, "If someone else brews it, I can't get used to it." ”

"Hypocrisy!" After Liu Muxiang finished speaking, she turned around and went out to prepare dinner.

Good spirits are not bad spirits, Changsun Chong has been worried about Li You, and early the next morning, Huo Qiang came to report that the Ryukyu prince was gone.

The eldest grandson Chong was eating breakfast, and he almost choked to death from the egg, so he hurriedly asked, "Gone?" What does this mean? Looking for it inside and out? ”

Huo Qiang nodded and said: "Someone came to report, I have searched all the inside and outside, and I haven't seen anyone." ”

"Then who was the last person to see Li You?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"It's the plum blossom, she is the prince's maidservant, and after serving the prince and a beautiful woman from outside yesterday, she kept vigil at the door." Huo Qiang replied, doubting the beautiful woman from outside.

The eldest grandson has a yellow face, it is really a dog that can't change eating, what time is it now, there are actually foreign women entering the other courtyard, just think about it with your knees, and know that this problem lies with the foreign woman. (To be continued......)
