Wajima Yamato National Capital.

It had been a few days since the food was delivered, and the spies had sorted out the vast amount of information they had collected and sent it to the capital.

The era of the Japanese Yamato Kingdom is known as the Flying Bird Era. It is a female emperor named Emperor Suiko. In the early days of the reign of Emperor Suiko, the second son of Emperor Yomeike, Prince Shotoku, was appointed as regent.

This Prince Shotoku was also a great man.

He vigorously aroused various advanced knowledge of Chinese culture, politics, crafts, etc., which could improve the social development of Wajima. A new Twelfth Order of Crowns and the Seventeenth Article of the Law were introduced.

It can be said that this Prince Shotoku was a hero of the Zhongxing Wa Kingdom.

The agent handed over all the information he had collected over the past two years to Prince Shotoku, who actually entered the palace to find Emperor Suiko. At the same time, it also recruited important magnates of Wajima Yamato.

"We, the Japanese people, have spent hundreds of years learning about Chinese culture. More than ten years ago, a large number of Sui and Tang dynasties were also dispatched. But since the death of the Sui and the rise of the Tang Dynasty, our communication with the Tang people has become less. It's been two years since the last envoy sent to Datang, do you know how Lu Dao is? ”

Prince Shotoku's gaze swept around, but no one responded.

"The chief and deputy envoys and several officials lived like slaves. Of all the people left, there were less than ten. What about the rest? After Prince Shotoku asked rhetorically, he sighed deeply: "The rest of the people are already proud of being Tang people, and they are not ready to come back to serve my Yamato clan." ”

"In previous years, there were those who stayed and didn't come back." There is a powerful interface that says.

"This time it's different, just the spies I sent out. Datang no longer allows any craftsmen to teach us the arts. You know the Tao in Chang'an City, and you also know the Tao in Luoyang City. It only takes a few hours from Chang'an to Luoyang, and the Tang people used a steel machine called the Fire Swallowing Dragon to pull hundreds of thousands of stones, running fast on the steel track. How much steel does this cost, and the annual steel output of our Wadao is not as good as that of Datang in one day. ”

When Prince Shotoku said this, he caused a sigh.

"The prosperity of Datang is far from being comparable to that of our Yamato. Our Yamato Kingdom did not dare to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and our Yamato Kingdom was in the former Sui Dynasty, and the four expeditions to Silla were made. We and Silla are also inseparable. But the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo overnight. Silla, Baekje. So don't be an enemy! ”

"What do you suggest?" The powerful asked again.

"It's not a suggestion, it's a choice we have to make. At present, Izumo's Ichijo family has rebelled, and the cities of the Inland Sea have close contacts with the Tang Dynasty. They have a bias towards the Tang people. Only the last four months. More than 150,000 people from our Wadao have gone to Datang to work. The rice that Datang sends to these people's families every month can be piled up into a mountain. ”

After Prince Shotoku finished speaking, he ordered the information he had gathered to be sent.

That's an hour. In the palace of the king of Yamato, there was only the sound of constantly turning papers.

These papers are from Datang, and the Datang paper was bought at a high price.

The pen is also Datang's, and so is the ink. The text on it is also in Chinese, because Wajima has no writing at all. When it is really necessary to record, it can only be in Chinese.

"The Tang is already influencing our Yamato country's rule over Wajima. Once all the lords are in favor of the Yamato Kingdom, then our emperor will have no place to stand. Fifteen people have gone to Datang now, and one and a half million people will go to Datang in the future. Then there will be many so-called nobles of the Tang Dynasty who will come to our island, they are just ordinary commoners, but they have a higher status than our nobles, and in the long run, our Yamato Kingdom will no longer exist. ”

Prince Shotoku was absolutely right.

That's what Li Yuanxing planned.

"Closed the port and closed the country. Keep the Kara people out and concentrate all your strength to clear the rebellion in Izumo! In other words, Prince Shotoku made a statement to Emperor Suiko, in other words, with his influence in the politics of the Yamato Kingdom of Wajima, he was no longer a suggestion, but a conclusion.

Ten days later......

In the Tang Palace, under the dual atmosphere of joy and tension, Li Yuanxing personally came to Chang'an City. Because this day is the day when the eldest grandson queen is about to give birth, and the name has been given, the future may be that the child of the lord of the Tang Dynasty is about to be born, which is an extremely important thing for the entire Datang.

Qin Qiong knew very well what day it was, but he had to hand over the form and ask to enter the palace.

"Uncle Bao, come on, come on, take a seat first." The smile on Li Er's face was like the feeling he felt when he was a father for the first time. According to ancient legends, a child who is pregnant beyond the period of pregnancy must not be an ordinary child. If it can't be produced normally, God won't allow it. Those who can be born normally are blessed by God.

Qin Qiong clasped his fists and saluted: "Holy Lord, King Qin, something has happened that is not big or small, but it is very troublesome." ”

"It's not big, it's not too small, it's a hassle. Hahaha! Li Er smiled heartily, and then pointed at Li Yuanxing: "Go and tell Wulang about the troublesome things." ”

"The Japanese and the lords who were close to us were killed, and the hundreds of thousands of stone grain we gave to those people were confiscated by the Yamato Kingdom. And he gave a strict order, and whoever fornicated with the Gentiles killed all his family. All the important sea routes and ports on the island were prepared by the Japanese people, which were filled with pine resin or other grease, and as long as our Datang ships approached, they would be set on fire and thrown over. And it has been ascertained that the Japanese are mobilizing forces and preparing to attack the clouds. ”

Qin Qiong said with a serious face.

"How much longer?" Li Yuanxing asked.

"The Wajin are still preparing, and Izumo has fought against other Washo or lords before. Izumo's combat power is extremely high, and there is a Tang army called the Tang Mercenary behind him, so the Japanese are only mobilizing troops at the moment, and it is difficult to say when the war will start, and whether they will take the initiative to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty is also unknown. ”

The smile on Li Er's face sank, and he swept the dishes on his several cases to the ground.

He wasn't angry with Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong was doing his duty.

"Hateful widows, today makes me really unhappy." Li Er's face was pale and murderous. A few steps in front of Li Yuanxing: "Wulang, for my brother, I want to send troops to let the Japanese people and the country know the way, and whoever says it on the island is decided." ”

"The younger brother thought that he should first let the military department arrange it and do a good job of Izumo's defense. Brother Shubao is responsible for detecting Izumo's restless power, and under this pressure, whoever dares to waver is the enemy of my Datang. Even if they subjugated Wajima in the future, these people were still inferior. ”

Hearing Li Yuanxing's arrangement, Li Er's face was a little better, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Wulang, you continue!" ”

"The time was calculated as half a year, and the order was to prepare enough food. Buy grain in Baiyue and Nanyang, as much as you want. After the capture of Wadao, in order to ensure the rule of our Tang Dynasty over Wadao, it is still necessary to send some grain to convince the people, as for the excuse for war......"

Speaking of this, Li Yuanxing stopped, and after thinking for a moment, he continued:

"Brother Shubao, can you arrange it? Let those obedient laborers write some papers, and the Japanese people have robbed their families of their food, and let their families be slaves, in short, there must be an excuse for war. It doesn't matter if anyone believes it or not, the important thing is to save face. ”

Qin Qiong smiled and nodded.

"Let's discuss the next step, how many ships to recruit and how many troops are needed, and there is still a need to investigate Wajima. Let the military department come out with a specific battle plan, the time is still what I just said, and it will take half a year to fight the war. ”

Saying that the troops will be sent out, it seems to be a pleasure.

But this is not a defensive war, and there is no need for Datang to engage in any war mobilization orders.

Once the interests of Datang's agricultural, industrial, and commercial industries are disregarded, if a war mobilization order is launched, it will be a blow to Datang's various industries, and it will also make the people feel uneasy.

Li Yuanxing was talking, and Gonggong Gao came over to report: "Saint, give birth at noon, Longzi!" ”

It's noon! Good time. The smile on Li Er's face returned, and he walked towards the harem with a smile.

Li Yuanxing also stood up: "Brother Shubao, this battle is more difficult to fight than the Battle of Goguryeo, and the country will be destroyed in one battle." Destroy the national capital first, and then sweep away the entire Wa Island, and we must not be soft. ”

Qin Qiong nodded: "There is one more thing!" ”

"And?" Li Yuanxing felt that Qin Qiong's expression was not so natural, and he couldn't help but feel a little more nervous in his heart.

"Also, does Gorou remember the heavy rain in Qinling?"

"Remember!" Li Yuanxing said in his heart, how could he not remember the heavy rain.

Qin Qiong took out a few notes from his arms, which were the transcripts of telegrams. Li Yuanxing looked at it, and also gasped, starting from the heavy rain in Qinling, there was rain almost every day in Jiannan Road, although it was not big, but it affected the construction site of the railway, and the construction site of the railway was almost completely suspended.

There is light rain every day in Jiannan Road, but it is heavy rain every day in Shannan Road.

Occasionally, there will be one day, two days of heavy rain.

"Goro, I've already inquired. At present, at least 800,000 mu will definitely be harvested, and this is already a disaster. In the past, tax reduction and exemption was the grace of the imperial court, but now there is no grain tax, and these people have to survive the winter. You should have prepared for it, and according to the other side, it is estimated that it will rain for a few more days. ”

Heavy rain!

Shannan Road is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and it rains heavily here, so what about the downstream.

"Gangnam Province is better, but this rain has also affected Gangnam Province a lot. It's just that there are few people in Jiangnan Province, and they can save themselves from the loss of more than 100,000 mu of grain fields. Huainan Province still can't see that they have a lot of paddy fields, and those big pearl farmers have already repaired the water wai, so they don't think the pearls will be damaged. ”

Li Yuanxing kept shaking his head, it was obvious that Qin Qiong had not grasped the point of this matter.

In the Yangtze River Basin, the Yangtze River was not damaged by any external cause during the Tang Dynasty, and most of the banks were rocks or canyons. When it reaches the lower reaches of the river, there are many large lakes to reduce the water level pressure, so in ancient times, it was recorded that only the Yellow River was diverted, but there was no theory that the Yangtze River was diverted. Moreover, the population density of the Yangtze River basin is much lower than that of the Yellow River basin.

But Li Yuanxing felt a kind of danger.

"Shubao, quickly call the states along the Yangtze River, what is the water level of the Yangtze River? What is the water level of the major lakes? (To be continued......)
