Chapter 297: Visit to Japan
Speaking of Japan, there is no need for Mao Geng to speak, there is Long Jiu to say. After a while, Xin Qiji and 6 Jiuyuan understood the current situation.
From the map, the island nation of Japan is only a little bigger, and that's not all, it is not a single island, it is composed of three islands across the sea, the largest island is Honshu Island, followed by Kyushu Island, and the smallest is Shikoku Island. Yes, at this time, it was the three islands of Japan instead of the "four islands of Japan", in real history, the Japanese in this era did not have the idea of fighting Hokkaido at all, so Xia Xia Island has no dime relationship with the Japanese, and the Great Song Dynasty owns Xia Yi Island, and the Japanese can't put a fart.
Sadly, the Japanese Mishima is now pitted badly by a gang of so-called "pirates"; all decent ships have either been robbed or burned, and there are no ships, and now even the normal exchanges between the three islands have become a problem, and the Japanese do not know what to do in the face of this situation that is so rotten that it can no longer be worse. Fight, can't fight, hide, ships can't hide, a ship can't hide, an island country's ships are not a small number, but can't stand the consumption of a batch today and tomorrow consume a batch, in the end there are really few decent ships, fortunately, the pirates are finally a little jealous, did not go deep into the inland river to kill everything, some ships into the river survived, but so what! I can't go to sea. I had no choice but to ask Da Song for help. It is said that he also begged the head of the Jin State, but it is obvious that only the Great Song Dynasty can help the Japanese clean up the situation.
This is the case, now the Japanese have a request for the Great Song Dynasty, the price code can be opened a little higher, and the Japanese have no bargaining hole cards at all. Given that Japan's Mishima is on the way between the Great Song Dynasty and Xia Yi Island, some key points must be controlled in the hands of their Great Song Dynasty, such as Tsushima Island and Sado Island. As for the rest, you can act with the camera. In addition, you have to borrow some money from the soldiers, the price of 20 million taels of silver is not high! After the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing government compensated 230 million taels of silver, and also gave up the island of Taiwan, so the price of 20 million taels was not high at all.
Long Jiu felt that 2ooo 10,000 taels of silver was not high, although Mao Geng felt that it was high, but what he wanted from the Japanese was such a slaughtering method, so when Long Jiu reported this number, Mao Geng was still slightly challowed.
And Xin Qiji has no opinion on this, as mentioned earlier, Xin Dashuai is a bit of a gangster, robbing the Japanese bastards to make the Great Song Dynasty rich and strong, Xin Qiji feels that this is a very cool thing. But 6 Jiuyuan is different, the kind-hearted 6 Jiuyuan is a little unbearable, and feels that this knife is too ruthless, which is not conducive to the promotion of the universal value of benevolence and righteousness in the world.
In the end, Xin Qiji came up with an idea, this idea is a bit of a "salute first and then soldier", 6 Jiuyuan heard it, although he felt that he was also taking advantage of the fire to rob, but the resistance was not so strong, anyway, 6 Jiuyuan would not participate in this matter after that, so he didn't say much.
At the beginning of February, Xin Qijian led a Great Song fleet consisting of four large ships and four speedboats to visit Kamakura, accompanied by Jiang Bohu, Long Jiu, Liu Guo, and Su Shidan.
Xin Qiji is the feudal official of the Great Song Dynasty, or the name of the world, can be called a world-famous god-level figure in this era, Yuan Laichao did not expect that Xin Qiji such a master could come to Japan to visit wèn, and immediately put on the highest reception specifications, with an almost pious attitude to receive Xin Qiji and his party.
It's not good to be religious! Just the ships that came from other people, there was a ship covered with iron sheets, the ship was not big, only 300 tons, but it looked terrifying, not to mention the warships of 1,000 tons, 800 tons, and 600 tons, as well as the lightning-striking speedboats, and there were four lightning-striking speedboats. This fleet can kill the warships that Japan previously owned, and the pirates are no opponent, and Minamoto Yoritomo, who worships the strong, has only a part. In addition to the worship of force, there is also a fact that no Jinshi-level figure of the Great Song Dynasty has ever been to Japan, let alone Xin Qiji, a god-level figure of the Celestial Dynasty who is both civil and military. Moreover, there is also a bull in the Great Song Dynasty delegation, that is, Jiang Bohu, Jiang Bohu was the martial arts exam at the beginning, and he was the champion of Chunxi's martial arts in the eighth year, but this guy values literature and light martial arts in his bones, and he wants to be a civil official, but in the eleventh year of Chunxi, Jiang Bohu won Wen Jinshi again, and the word "civil and military shuangquan" is simply tailor-made for him, even if Xin Qiji does not come, a Jiang Bohu is enough to make the Japanese group bow and worship.
Xin Qiji was also very polite in the face of the worshipful Yuan Lai Dynasty, and said in a righteous tone that Yelu's guys also robbed the Great Song Dynasty, and some advanced warships of the Great Song Dynasty also fell into the hands of this fang, and belonged to the pirates captured by the Great Song Dynasty. What's more, he also tried to occupy Japan and restore Liao, and the Great Song Dynasty decided to help Japan exterminate this fang after research.
When Yuan Laichao heard this, this dare is good, the Celestial Empire is indeed a state of benevolence and righteousness, and when the pirates are quelled, Japan should pay tribute.
Xin Qiji sneered in his heart, and said in his heart that the so-called tribute of the Japanese, the Great Song Dynasty received the tribute and rewarded it, but the reward of the Great Song Dynasty was more valuable than the tribute, what kind of sincerity is this! It's not even atmospheric to ask someone to do things and give gifts, hehe, look at how Long Jiu plays to death you!
Of course, it's a bit difficult to get the atmosphere of the source of the Lai Dynasty, 2ooo million silver and the cession of the island or something, the source of the Lai Dynasty can not be the atmosphere. Yuan Laichao is even a little lucky, isn't the Celestial Empire boasting of benevolence and righteousness! We may be able to take advantage of it, and if a great official like Xin Qiji visits Japan, maybe he will be happy, and it is possible to allocate some money to Japan to help.
But then Yuan Yorichao realized that this Xin Lord was difficult to deal with, Xin Qiji said that he represented the Great Song Dynasty, and he had to go to Kyoto to meet with the emperor, although you Yuan Yorichao is the de facto ruler, but diplomatic etiquette can not be abolished, and the emperor still has to meet. The nominal emperor was indeed the ruler of Japan, and Xin Qiji had to deal with the emperor, and Minamoto Yoritomo could not stop him.
In fact, when I went to Kamakura, it meant more to show off the warships, which was a special demonstration of strength for Minamoto Yoritosa.
Coming to Kyoto in a day, the emperor of this era is in Kyoto and not in Tokyo, Xin Qiji's high-level envoys came to Kyoto, so that Emperor Go-Shirakawa and Emperor Go-Shirawa were also flattered, Xin Qiji's statement is also very touching, worthy of the benevolent and righteous Celestial Empire, as if in two days he can kill the hateful Houliao pirates, for this, Emperor Go-Shirakawa is very satisfied. What I want to say is that because of eating the Mao Group's Gaizhong Gai and cod liver oil, the body of Emperor Hou Baihe at this time can still withstand it, and it is not like in history that he will immediately die of depression, what is exciting is that from Xin Qiji's words, he faintly felt that the Great Song Dynasty might support himself and his son Emperor Hou Baiyu, after all, his own side is orthodox, you must know that the Great Song Dynasty is orthodox.
The visit to Wèn was a success. Xin Qijian flickered and left, leaving Jiang Bohu, Long Jiu and Su Shidan, claiming that they were liaison officers, specifically responsible for liaising with the people of the Great Song Dynasty Water Division to exterminate the pirates, Yunyun.
As soon as Xin Qiqi left, the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty began to symbolically circle the coast of Japan, and then claimed that no pirates had seen it, and the pirates did not know where to go, and there were no thieves to suppress.
But two days later, there was another report of pirates committing crimes, so the emperor asked Jiang Bohu and his party to consult.
In this line, Jiang Bohu is nominally the protagonist, but in fact, it is Long Jiu who is the main character.
Long Jiu said that in fact, Yelu's group of pirates not only robbed Japan, but recently turned their target to the Jin country and robbed many ships of the Jin country, so the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty have no enthusiasm for exterminating this gang of pirates. As for the possible harm to your Japan, there is nothing we can do about it for the time being.
Long Jiu is going to slowly extort bamboo, it is true that the pirates have also robbed some Jin people's ships during this time, because there are no big ships here in Japan, and it seems that the benefits are higher to grab a batch of big ships and sell them to Taiwan and Song Haimao. However, the Japanese here, there is no risk in grabbing it, anyway, the pirate ship and the Great Song Dynasty warship have a tacit understanding of hiding and seeking, since the Great Song warship came, it has been better for a few days, and then it is still the same, and there is even a tendency to get worse, and it is even more ruthless than before to rob and arrest people ashore.
Two days later, the warships of the Great Song Dynasty were ordered to sail to the East China Sea, and it was reported that the pirates had robbed the Great Song Dynasty again. How to be good!
