Chapter 321: Peace and Sincerity (1)
The members of the Iyo Naval Army, who had been fished out of the water, took off their wet clothes, dried them, and wrapped them in blankets. Yin Ichiro felt that this guy could no longer be called a teenager, and the thirteen-year-old also belonged to the category of teenagers in the Wa Kingdom. It's useless to scold, Inoichiro is too lazy to scold. In the last month, the Iyo Naval Army has drowned five people, except for one who is about thirty years old, the other two are over sixty years old, and two are under thirteen. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese people who built railways in the Great Song Dynasty returned to the Japanese Kingdom, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese people who went to the Great Song Dynasty to participate in the construction of the railway had to set off from the Japanese Kingdom.
"Be careful!" Leaving this sentence behind, Inoichiro got on the patrol boat and continued his patrol work in the Seto Inland Sea. The port scale of the Great Song Dynasty was much larger than that of the Wa Kingdom, and with various infrastructure constructions, the assembly efficiency was much higher than that of the Wa Kingdom. Different parts of the Wa Kingdom did not dare to let their people go from other territories, so they could only send the people on large ships to various landing places. The Iyo naval army, who was in charge of transportation, could only run around.
The huge pressure had to be done in a short period of time, and even Nichiro, who was in charge of other work, had to be on the front line. After a lot of intense work, Iyo's water army, who had accumulated considerable experience, finally completed the errand. Yin Ichiro rested at home for three days, and then took his wife and children back to his wife's maiden house again in the name of a business trip. Nichiro also wanted to go back to his mother's house, but if he did, he would only have to visit his uncle, the head of the Hojo family. What did the two say after they met? Is it possible to discuss, 'Uncle, why did you kill my grandfather?' ’
The road to Ashikaga's house was much better, and there was an article in the Great Song Dynasty textbook that said, "There is no road in the world, and the more people walk, it becomes a road." In the past year, millions of people have walked on the road and stones have been broken by you. This time, there was no need to sit in a sedan chair, and each mule was led by someone in front of it, and the mule team went straight to the destination along the road.
The main castle of the Ashikaga family had been repaired, and the dense concrete walls were so dense that the soldiers who had been involved in the construction of similar walls had no urge to break through them, and Inoichiro knew how solid this kind of thing really was. There was still no one at the gate of the city who dared to stop Yin Ichiro and the others, and after entering the city, they went straight to their father-in-law's house. Because it had been made in advance, Inoichiro saw a few more people than last year. Sent his wife to the door, and said hello to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and Eiichiro said goodbye and went straight to Ashikaga-sama's house.
Compared to last year, Ashikaga-sama did not have a simple politeness this time. He asked Yin Ichiro a question: "Yin Ichiro, did the Song Kingdom really not think about invading the Wa Kingdom?" ”
"Why did Your Excellency remember to ask this?" Inoichiro was puzzled. And this question is too stupid in Eiichiro's opinion.
"Song Guo has transported millions of people back and forth this time, and I suddenly remembered this." Ashikaga-sama replied cheerfully.
"I heard that the Great Song Dynasty also mobilized a million people to participate in the construction of the railway in their country, and the two sides combined mobilized two million people. Your Excellency Ashikaga, do you think that the Great Song Dynasty, who has the ability to do this, is determined to attack the Wa Kingdom, do they need any hesitation? ”
His Excellency Ashikaga was silent for the time being. Two million people, that's a number that he doesn't have a sense of. His Excellency Ashikaga knew that there were a lot of people, but he couldn't judge how many there were in two hundred, based on his own life.
Yin Yilang waited for a while, and then broke the silence, "Your Excellency, the Song Kingdom never thought of invading the Wa Kingdom at all. If they wanted to, they would have done it a long time ago. I'm pretty sure of that. ”
There was something in the eyes of His Excellency Ashikaga that, yes, Eiichiro was really qualified to guarantee that. The entire Wa Kingdom knew that if the Great Song Dynasty invaded the Wa Kingdom, it would inevitably be the Four Nations Army that would take the lead. At that time, Inoichiro will also appear on the battlefield.
After determining the problem in his heart, His Excellency Ashikaga returned to the palace. He sent off His Excellency Ashikaga with a salute, and the Ashikaga retainers, who were similar to last year, continued to talk with Iichiro. As Yin Ichiro thought, although these guys are fierce and their small methods are a bit endless, there has been no official direct seizure of people's wages.
The clothes in front of you are also different from last year, and Inichiro is not sure if the clothes of these retainers are arrogant or something. Anyway, they are obviously richer than last year, and they are still much richer. These well-dressed guys came up and asked, "Your Excellency, can you let us send more people to the Song Kingdom?" ”
"How much do you want to add?"
"Two hundred thousand." The retainer replied with a straight face, and after finishing speaking, he hurriedly added, "There is no need for the spring wave of people, can those who are setting off now increase the number of people." In addition, can the time be adjusted to coincide with the autumn harvest? ”
Like last year, after sending his wife and children to the ship, Inoichiro went to Kamakura again. This time, the Matsuoka Keiji family is really rich, and Inoichiro feels the feeling after the renovation of the Great Song House designer he spent a lot of money to invite at the Matsuoka house. When every detail has been carefully perfected and the most suitable things are used, people often lose their attention to the elegant environment they are in. Such a house is no longer a place to live, but life itself.
Matsuoka asked the same question as the Ashikaga retainers, and he wondered if he could add 300,000 more laborers. Inichiro decisively told Matsuoka, "The Great Song Dynasty has begun to have requirements now, and all they need are people who can work." ”
"Of course! Of course! Matsuoka couldn't agree more. After saying that, Matsuoka hopes to adjust the labor hours so that the number of laborers after the autumn harvest will be larger.
After talking, the two old acquaintances had dinner, and during the banquet, Nichiro asked Matsuoka, "Are you worried that the Great Song Dynasty will attack the Japanese Kingdom?" ”
After hearing this, Matsuoka smiled and said: "If the Great Song Dynasty wanted to fight the Japanese Kingdom, he would have sent troops a long time ago, why wait until now." Besides, if they really want to fight, I'm worried about whether it will be useful. ”
In comparison, the Kamakura shogunate is more free. Nichiro sighed in his heart. But this made Eiichiro a little strange why the Ashikaga family thought of such a question. Back in Shikoku, Eiichiro wrote a report on what he cared about.
This report did not immediately attract the attention of the Great Song Dynasty, because the attention of the Great Song Dynasty was all in China, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Governors. Zhao Guanjia wrote more than a dozen articles based on 'entering the new era' and published them in the newspaper. Because the content is all about ordinary people, it caused a great shock.
Taking this as a starting point, many people who insist on their own views have written in newspapers, and some have even carried out propaganda and even concatenation. Seeing that the political situation is so disturbed, as long as there are people with insight, there is nothing that is not worried. As for the little thing that came from the Wa Kingdom, it is not at all the turn now.
