Remember [Lewen] in a second. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Wa State sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and the relationship with the Tang Dynasty was very good. This kind of official exchange was very close, and many Japanese students did not return to the Japanese country, but stayed in Datang.

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, China was in turmoil for many years. Before the disgrace of Jingkang, there were many people-to-people exchanges between the Great Song Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, and there was no official trade between the officials. After Jingkang's disgrace, the Great Song Dynasty declared himself a minister to Jin, and official exchanges were completely interrupted. Now suddenly a group of people came to the Wa Kingdom, claiming to be subordinates of the cousin of the Great Song Emperor. The Kamakura shogunate was quite surprised by this.

Thirty or so people may be intimidating for the Kobe local guardians, but not enough for the Kamakura shogunate. The Kamakura shogunate mobilized the general commission, pursued, guarded, and defended the land in various places, and was able to pull out 20,000 troops. They didn't believe that the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty could ride a thousand.

Confident, confident, and elegant, "I don't know what you have to say to the country?" ”

"I am the general secretary of Fujian Road in the Great Song Dynasty, and the envoy of His Royal Highness Zhao Jiaren in the Northeast. There has been no formal contact between the Great Song Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom for more than 100 years, and the merchants are all ordinary people, which is not enough to show the goodwill between China and your country. Therefore, His Royal Highness sent me to greet His Highness Kujo and the Emperor of Wakuni. Yuelian recited the words she had prepared before. Sasuke, who is the translator, also spoke to him in Japanese.

After listening to this, the priest asked, "Do you want to go to Heiankyo?" ”

"Of course! If you don't go to Heiankyo, it's hard to just send letters? Yuelian asked rhetorically.

Hundreds of years have passed since the Tang envoys were sent, and the Wa State has not had much diplomatic experience in these years, and now it is very difficult to get an official official meeting. He held Shi Gui in his hand, and he was thinking about it quickly. After thinking for a while, he replied, "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter must be found on an auspicious day." ”

There was a meeting to discuss what happened to the Wa Congress. As a psychiatrist, Zhao Jiaren knows very well what the idea of putting himself at the core will lead to. So the discussion is based on 'possibility'. The first step is to contact Heiankyo, two possibilities, the other party refuses to contact, and the other party starts to contact. After that, he asked to go to Heiankyo, but the other party refused and the other party did not refuse.

Things quickly went to the point where the other party did not refuse. But not refusing is not the same as agreeing, Yuelian still remembers that when she participated in the discussion, it was similar to the other participants, and when faced with the possibility that the other party might refuse, everyone immediately gave birth to a nameless fire, questioning whether the other party wanted to go wrong and refused such a friendly move.

Then Zhao Jiaren asked everyone, "If a group of Champs come to us and say that they are the younger brothers of the King of Champah, they want to start a diplomatic operation with us." Will we say yes right away? ”

Then the suspicion of the Japanese state subsided, and as long as the position was changed slightly, everyone also felt that things should not be as simple as unilaterally imagined. Since the other party did not say no, Yuelian asked Heianjing how long it would take to give the news.

The other party's attitude was so calm, it seemed quite profound, and he began to feel a little weak, and he replied hesitantly: "Probably, a month." ”

"Then we'll wait here for a month." Yuelian was unhappy in her heart, and she was not in a hurry to answer. The time Zhao Jiaren gave her was half a year, and a month was only one-sixth, even if the preliminary preparations were counted, Yuelian only used up two months.

Seeing that these people were quite polite and patient, he himself was a little relieved. A month after the two sides agreed, Yuelian and they gave a meeting gift. The greeting gift is cloth and glass mirrors. It was the first time that he had seen such a clear mirror that could reflect people, and when he looked at his face carefully, he felt that it was not himself that he was reflected, but that there really seemed to be a person who was exactly like him in the mirror. He felt his heart beat faster, and quickly closed the lid

The Emperor of Wakoku had three artifacts, one of which was the Eight Mirrors. In fact, there is a saying, it is Chinese. Now these Song people actually gave mirrors as gifts, making him feel that the other party really had an unusual background.

Immediately after the meeting, he returned to Heiankyo. Yuelian immediately invited the local guards to eat. The guardians did not express hostility when they saw Kyoto, so they naturally did not want to make trouble. The envoy of the Song State invited, and he also went to the banquet.

During the banquet, a few glasses of spirits were put in the stomach to protect the wine and ears. The envoy of the Song Kingdom asked who the guards and practitioners around him were, and the guards began to tell. At the same time, I couldn't help but start bragging about how capable I was. Yuelian and they wrote it down one by one. Asking those people how to write their names is not clear if they don't know how to read. Fortunately, he still remembered that there were people under him who were in charge of this matter, so he called someone in a daze and asked him to tell these envoys of the Song Kingdom.

Two days later, the fleet left one ship behind, and the other two began to head south to the west of the town.

The Seto Inland Sea is bordered by Japan's Honshu Island to the north and Kyushu Island to the south. The Jinsai Shogunate was an official position established by the Kamakura Shogunate to guard Kyushu. Unlike the Great Song Dynasty, Japan still had a feudal system, and each position had a corresponding land. The shogunate was a military regime, and these positions entailed military obligations. The town is located in Atago Mountain, Chikuzen Province, close to the Seto Inland Sea.

This time, a local Japanese ship was hired as a pilot, and the fleet cautiously followed behind the Japanese ship, but nothing happened. The dock on the Kyushu side was very small, and looking at the color of the water on the shore, the captain felt that he couldn't go any further. So they got down from their big ships to the small Japanese boats and landed on them.

Yuelian did not wear a silk flying fish suit this time, but changed into a cotton flying fish suit. The flying fish suit is different from the placket of the Great Song Dynasty, and the upper half of it is the outer garment of the right side. The lower half resembles a pleated skirt. One of the benefits of this is that it's easy to act. If the clothes are tightly wrapped around the body like a cheongsam, the movement is restricted. The flying fish suit can make the wearer run like a fly, and Yuelian likes this kind of clothes that look dignified and practical.

When everyone arrived at the port, they were noticed by the locals. After seeing the costumes of the locals, Yuelian couldn't help but say, "They are really wearing straw sandals." ”

Sasuke knew that Tsukiren didn't mean to be sarcastic, but Sasuke still felt a little inexplicably ashamed. He himself now has cloth boots on his feet, which is not only comfortable to walk on, but also looks quite imposing. However, the people at the pier and in the nearby town wore straw sandals. Not to mention the clothes that those people look at are cold, whether they have shoes or not, whether they are wearing shoes or boots, it is wordless proof of financial resources.

Everyone didn't talk nonsense, and let the guide lead them to the west of the town. Those Japanese people spontaneously started to watch, which was different from the kind of rarity in Fuzhou or Quanzhou, Hu Yuelian didn't hear any sound of ear-to-ear exchange, those people just watched quietly, which made her feel very wrong.

Walking out five or six miles, the road that people stepped on became narrower and narrower, and the trees on the mountains on both sides became denser and denser. Among the fellow people was a shipbuilder, and he looked at the trees and couldn't help but praise: "These trees are quite thick, and they can be cut down for shipbuilding." We might as well open a shipyard here. ”

Everyone has the experience of helping in a shipyard, and even if they choose to leave because they don't love shipbuilding, they still know the basics. Someone laughed and said, "Are you going to open a steaming mill here?" Or just cut it and leave it there and wait for the wood to do it yourself? ”

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly an arrow flew out of the woods by the side of the road, and instead of hitting anyone, it landed on the side of the road.

"There are enemies!" Immediately someone shouted.

Everyone has combat experience, and Yuelian and the others have very rich combat experience. The weapon was taken out in an instant, and everyone immediately retreated to the sparsely wooded place on the other side. At this time, we must not panic, and we must immediately set up a position.

After having a position, everyone left the weak ones in the inner circle, and the rest of the personnel put down their luggage and drew their arquebuses from the salute.

Gunpowder was put in the barrel, and lead wrapped in linen cloth was stuffed in front of it, and it was smashed tightly with a strip. Unlike other firearms of later generations, the arquebus had a bronze flame-vent in the chamber at the tail of the barrel. When the trigger is pulled, the flame is not lit inside, but by mechanical rotation, the fire rope lit next to it is pressed to the refined gunpowder, and the gunpowder is ignited and the burning gunpowder is sprayed into the chamber along the flamevent, causing the gunpowder inside the musket to burn. The final gunpowder gas pushes the lead out of the muzzle.

Hu Yuelian and the others have experienced the first stage of the test of not adapting to the soil and water, and the second stage is the test of using muskets. These people, who have experienced a lot of life and death tests, know very well that the last thing they need on the battlefield is panic and impulsiveness. During the ten days on the island, they had to train a lot every day, so that they could do it instinctively at all times.

On the way to the Wakoku, and in the days of waiting after arriving at the Wakoku, these people were full every day. In addition to surveying and mapping, it is to conduct training. Yuelian had killed many, many people with her own hands, and she didn't feel nervous at all at this time. What could be more nervous than staring into the eyes of an enemy. Those enemies are still a few dozen steps away from Moon Lotus.

The inner circle of the team was not idle, there were always three carbon bars that kept burning, sprinkled some alcohol on the torches, lit the paper strips with charcoal fire, lit the torches, and handed the ignited fire ropes to the musketeers.

After these actions were completed, the enemy was still more than twenty steps away from this side. Hu Yuelian sighed softly, she could see clearly that the enemy was holding a bamboo bow in her hand instead of a horned bow or a hard crossbow like the Great Song or Mongolian, and she couldn't help but smile on her face. The information given to them before departure was correct, and the lethality of the bamboo bow was very limited. To put it mildly, if the clothes are thicker, the bamboo bow will not be able to wear cotton clothes.

Picking up the musket, Hu Yuelian shouted: "Line up in three rows." First row, get ready! ”

Judging by the clothes worn by the attackers, they had armor, bamboo bows, spears and other weapons. The first platoon of the combat troops on the Song side was eight Japanese people, and Sasuke stood up according to the training pattern and said to Yuelian, "They should be the evil party. ”

Hu Yuelian remembered that there was the name of the evil party in the information, but she couldn't remember what it was at this time, and she didn't want to remember it. It is the enemy who kills him, and there is only one choice for the enemy, and that is to fight to the end.

"First row! Get ready! Hu Yuelian stretched out her voice, and then she shouted: "Shoot!" ”

Regardless of her subordinates, Hu Yuelian herself took the lead in pulling the trigger on the enemy.
