Dongying was originally a small country, and since the sea force attacking Wushanju was defeated by Dolgon, it was no longer able to send a large number of troops to compete with it. Although the small island nation of Qilin had few soldiers, it seemed that it was their nature to be belligerent, and instead of being discouraged by defeat, they worked harder to train their troops and expand their army, and it did not take long to reorganize the atmosphere of the day.

Although the Dongying Dynasty has a lot of complaints about the Gao Cun clan rashly dispatching troops for a woman, their power in the court is very important, and almost none of them can balance it. Although the emperor felt sorry for his army, treasury, and food, without the support of the Takamura clan, I am afraid that it would not be so easy for him as the emperor.

In more than half a year, under the hard work of Gao Cun, Dongying's military strength and combat effectiveness have vaguely surpassed the level of that day, which seems to indicate to the world that a war disaster is about to begin.

Takamura had been holding his breath, he thought that with the navy he led, he could easily snatch his beloved woman back, and even once delusionally thought that when his army drove there, they would obediently send a letter of surrender and send Yuanyuan back, but he never expected that the army of the Great Qing Dynasty would appear there, and also use their best underwater mines to beat the sea masters he trained to pieces. This is a great shame for him. The thing he was most proud of was destroyed, which was undoubtedly an insult to his personality, not to mention that this time it was Wu Shanju's fault for snatching the woman who should have belonged to him first. If you can't even protect your own woman, what's the point of living in this world?

Since the last naval battle, Takamura hasn't touched a woman for half a year. In his inner world, only after snatching Yuanyuan back, he is qualified to go to Wenxiang Nephrite, otherwise he would rather bear a charge of unfilial piety than do that.

When the emperor learned of this, he personally summoned Takamura and asked, "I heard that the general has almost reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat in order to train his army?" ”

Takamura replied, "It is my honor to serve the emperor, so I dare not slack off for a moment. ”

The Emperor smiled, "But you also have to pay attention to your body, if you are tired, who will govern my army?" Also, if General Takamura had known, he would have blamed me. ”

When Takamura heard the emperor mention his father, he was a little moved, and said, "My father will understand what I do, and the emperor should understand, right?" ”

The emperor said: "Of course I understand the reason why you are doing this, but there are so many women in the world, why are you obsessed with that Chen Yuanyuan?" ”

Takamura said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Chen Yuanyuan is the most heartwarming woman I have ever seen, and none of them can compare to her, so much so that I have lost any interest in other women. ”

The emperor said in his heart: If there really is such a woman, I really want to see it.

He nodded and said, "I didn't expect General Takamura to be so infatuated, I don't know if General Takamura is willing to accept a special gift from me?" ”

Takamura was stunned for a moment and said, "The emperor gave Takamura an incomparably honored, I don't know what kind of gift it is?" ”

The emperor clapped his hands, and saw a woman in a gorgeous kimono slowly step out from behind the screen. It's just that she wears a veil, and she can't see her face clearly for a while, but judging from her every move, she must be a delicate woman.

Takamura wondered, "Emperor, this is ......"

The Emperor smiled and said, "She is my sister-in-law. ”

Gao Cun hurriedly replied: "It turned out to be Princess Xizi, disrespectful." ”

Xizi squatted down slightly and saluted back, and said, "I heard that General Takamura is the bravest samurai in our Dongying, and when I saw it today, it really deserved his reputation." ”

Gao Cun said modestly: "It is really a blessing to be able to be praised by Princess Xizi. ”

The Emperor said: "Our Imperial Family and your Gaocun clan complement each other, without the support of your Gaocun family, our Imperial Family will have no support, and if your Gaocun clan does not have the protection of our Imperial Family, there will be no security." General Takamura, you said that I said that, is it right or not? ”

Takamura didn't know what the Emperor meant by this, but what he said was a big truth, so he said: "Our Takamura family is just fulfilling our duty, and the Emperor is really exalting us when he says this." ”

"Where, where. Who doesn't know that your Gaocun family has been doing their best for our royal family over the years, but our royal family can give you too little. ”

Takamura seemed to vaguely guess something, so he said: "The emperor is the master, and being able to serve the lord is the family motto of our Takamura family, and Takamura doesn't dare to expect anything." ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "This time I called my sister out to make the two of you familiar with each other, I don't know what General Takamura wants?" We Xizi admire you very much. ”

Gao Cun's tiger body was shocked, and said: "Princess Xizi has golden branches and jade leaves, and I, Gao Cun, am just a martial artist, I am afraid that I will defile the princess's ice and jade." ”

Xizi Bo said angrily: "General Takamura is rejecting the emperor by saying this? Or am I not worthy of a general? ”

"Don't dare, it's just that Weichen has already told the emperor just now, in this life, I just want to face Chen Yuanyuan day and night, and I don't dare to think about other people." Takamura said stiffly.

"How can this be true? Hum! Princess Xizi left angrily.

The Emperor chased after him for a few steps, sighed and said, "General Takamura, you, why are you doing this?" ”

"Thank you for the Emperor's kindness."

The Emperor said depressedly, "In that case, General Takamura, you should go and do your job." ”

Takamura said, "Emperor, I also have an important matter to discuss with you. ”

"What's the matter?" The emperor was still thinking about how to explain to his sister Saiko later, and he was a little impatient.

"Emperor, I heard that Chen Yuanyuan has been taken back to Changbai Mountain by Dolgon of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I would like to ask you to send an envoy to negotiate peace."

"Peace talks?" The Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "The Manchu Qing and the Ming Dynasty are rivals, isn't it a violation of the covenant with the Ming Dynasty that we are doing this?" ”

Gao Cun said: "It was the Ming Dynasty who violated the covenant first, and we attacked Wushanju that day, why didn't they send troops to support us?" According to the agreement of the Covenant, when any of us is at war, the other side will spare no effort to help the other. ”

The Emperor was speechless and said, "Then what do you mean ......?"

Gao Cun said slowly: "Since Da Ming is unkind to us, we can't be blamed for being unjust to them. I want us to make an alliance with the Manchus. ”

The emperor figured out some of the joints and said, "You want to form an alliance with the Manchu Qing and then put forward the conditions for sending Yuanyuan back by the way, right?" ”

"Yes, I don't think the Manchus would have turned down an ally like ours. And the rulers of the Ming Dynasty are too proud, they just don't want to have one more enemy when they form an alliance with us, but the Manchus are different, our alliance with them should be a relief for them, and for them our role is greater than that of the alliance with the Ming Dynasty. Takamura said confidently.

The emperor said, "Then what conditions should we fulfill to them?" ”

Gao Cun said: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty fought against each other, just to want to enter the Central Plains. All we need to do is promise them to harass the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty from time to time and disperse their forces to cooperate with the Manchus. In this way, we can also get a lot of wealth from Daming. ”

As soon as the emperor heard that there would be additional wealth, he immediately showed a greedy gaze and said, "This is a good idea, then this matter will be handled by you." ”

As soon as Takamura was about to leave, the emperor stopped him again and asked, "What do the Han people say about the famous division, I don't know in what capacity and reason the general is negotiating this time?" ”

Takamura said, "I heard that Dolgon was about to get married, so let's send a congratulatory gift as a neighbor. ”

The emperor said, "But we didn't go to the last emperor's wedding, wouldn't it be inappropriate?" ”

Takamura said, "Your Majesty, this is exactly what I want to achieve. I heard that Dolgon had a different heart, and Huang Taiji was also wary of him. We didn't attend Huang Taiji's wedding last time, but we attended Dolgon's wedding, which must have made Huang Taiji more defensive about Dolgon. The Han people have a trick called 'anti-intermittent strategy', and this should be a good opportunity. ”

"Then general, are you going or not?" The Emperor asked.

"If you don't go, you go." Takamura said inscrutablely.

This sentence made the emperor scratch his head and said: "To go is to go, and not to go is not to go." Why don't you go if you don't go? ”

Takamura explained: "As the commander of a country, I should not go, if they go back and detain me, it will definitely shake the morale of our army." But this time I had to go, because I had to go deep into the camp to feel it firsthand. Just like the last time I went to the palace of the Ming Dynasty, it was really very different from the situation reported by the spies. And I can go to the negotiations and make decisions very quickly, so that our negotiations don't last too long. And with my experience, I can also win more benefits for Dongying. So I have to go again. ”

"But what if ......"

Takamura knew what the emperor wanted to say, so he said, "Please rest assured that the emperor will definitely protect myself." Of course, I won't negotiate with them in my current capacity. I will definitely change my identity and redress to go to the negotiations. They know that I am only a messenger, so they will not trouble me. There is a saying in China that 'if two countries are at war, they will not be killed'? And we haven't been at war yet. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, then I wish the general a full return as soon as possible." ”
