Chapter 290: Gaiden
"Is Li Shuncheng's old puppet crazy?" Pu Wuyang looked back again and saw several warships roaring on the sea, and couldn't close his mouth in surprise.
On the dock, the crowd scattered and fled in all directions, and the cannonballs continued to explode in the crowd, and suddenly the wharf was a miserable scene of hell on earth......
Toei, Kyoto, Emperor's Palace, Matsunokaku.
Yoshitaka Dazai Ouchi knelt in front of the emperor and wept bitterly to state to Emperor Junren the tragic situation of Goryeo's treachery and brazen attack on Saga. "They did not spare even the old and the young, and the troops who landed killed people when they saw them, and robbed young women when they saw them. It's miserable, it's so miserable. ”
"You, you shut up!" Junren was so angry that he pointed at Yoshitaka Ouchi and shouted, "You, what were your three thousand musket warriors doing at that time?" What is the Inland Sea Fleet doing? ”
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty ......" Yoshitaka Ouchi broke cold sweat on his forehead, and he lowered his head to the ground, and the tip of his nose was already on the ground.
"I think His Royal Highness Dazai is still planning to compete with the imperial court one day, right?" Matsudaira Motonobu, the shogunate general who was kneeling on the emperor's side, said coldly.
"No...... Can't...... I didn't...... That kind of plan ......," Yoshitaka Ouchi stammered.
"Your Majesty, I have long said that what Li Shunyi said that he wanted us to fight the King of Liao together is an outright lie. Thinking that Taiko Yuchai Hideyoshi almost destroyed him in the Goryeo world, how could his Li family forget that we killed the two kings of his family back then, and there must be a strategy for us to suddenly show favor during this time, and they wanted to buy our firearms and warships with a lot of money, it turned out that they wanted to take advantage of the fact that our country had just reunified and the national strength was still weak, to suppress us. Matsudaira Motoshin bowed his head to Junhito and said.
"Too ...... Too...... It's too much of a deception! Junren said angrily. Hundreds of people have been burned, killed, and tortured in the land of my Amaterasu, and there has never been such a shame and humiliation in the more than 1,000 years since the founding of our country! ”
"Your Majesty. The gods are safe. Ouchi Yoshitaka and Matsudaira Motonobu hurriedly bowed their heads and persuaded them.
"Spread my will, immediately recruit soldiers from all over the country, I will destroy his Goryeo child!" Junren said loudly.
"Your Majesty is angry, angry." Matsudaira Motonobu hurriedly said, "We really can't afford to fight now." ”
"What!" Junren stared at Matsudaira Motonobu angrily and asked, "Why can't you fight?" ”
"Taige lost the conquest of Korea that year, and the warlords have been fighting for more than ten years, what should we use to conquer Korea again!" Matsudaira Motonobu said gloomily.
"I can't afford to lose this face! What do you say? Junren said angrily.
"Hey...... After all, it's still a teenager, and I can't hold my breath. Matsudaira Motoshin shook his head secretly, "Now we can treat others the way we do." ”
"Oh." Junhito and Yoshitaka Ouchi looked at Matsudaira Motonobu at the same time.
"You can call Mr. Shima Tong back from Malacca." Matsudaira Motonobu said faintly.
"You mean the pirate?" Yoshitaka Ouchi said.

Goryeo, Haseong, Wynn Palace.
Goryeo King Yi Sun-yi walked leisurely among the water pavilions under the crowd of many maids, the sunny and refreshing weather made him feel good today, and the good news that has been coming in the past few days made him excited, and the matter of Otohime slowly faded in his heart.
"That foolish boy turned the beam upside down for a woman, and completely annoyed his backer, hehe......" A waiter laughed flattering beside him.
"I thought he had found something, he went to Daliang to find rescuers, hahaha...... It's still a kid who can only mess around. Li Shunyi smiled disdainfully.
"The envoy of the Jin State brought that they will send troops next month, and yesterday there was also news from Lord Li that Emperor Xia had sent people to Jinzhou to reorganize the army." The chamberlain whispered in Li Shunyi's ear.
"Huh...... I think it's time for me to recapture the three counties of Liaozhou that were robbed by his Qi family. Li Shunyi smiled happily.
"Your Majesty!" An attendant hurried over with a wooden box in his hand.
"What's the matter?" Li Shunyi turned around and asked.
"Your Majesty, this is a person sent by Emperor Toei." The chamberlain presented the box with both hands. "There is also a letter from the Emperor to His Majesty."
"Oh, so fast, Pu Wuyang did a good job." Li Shunyi happily took the letter and tore open the envelope. "What?" His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the letter, full of rebuke. "What's in this box?"
A palace maid opened the box and immediately said, "Ah! He fell to the ground in fright. In the box is the head of Pu Wuyang!

Goryeo, Incheon, wharf.
Li Shuncheng stood on the bow of the Baishan guerrilla ship in frustration, thinking hard about how to explain to His Majesty the King how he had lost the ironclad ships of Xianglong, Ruihai, Baihe, Furui, and Cantonese King. "Hey...... Originally, I was not sure about the plundering fleet that attacked the Western Ocean, they were all three-sail giant ships, not to mention running fast and self-sustaining for a long time, and in terms of firepower, they were not weaker than their own ironclad ships. This time, if those pirates hadn't made too much trouble and provoked His Majesty's anger, he would have killed them and wanted to annihilate them himself. But I didn't expect that as soon as I went to sea, they disappeared without a trace, the fleet searched all the way north, and after walking for more than a month, I couldn't catch it, but in order to make a difference, I planned to go to the supply village of the Sauron people at the end of the North Sea to loot, and catch a few natives to come back to make a difference. But who would have thought that after going ashore, the natives who got guns and cannons out of nowhere would rob themselves...... If it weren't for his own fate, he recaptured this small ship, hey...... Five capital ships, ah......" Li Shuncheng sighed secretly.
As soon as the dejected Li Shuncheng and the equally dejected remnants of the sailors got off the boat, he saw that he was surrounded by a group of heavily armed warriors, and he recognized the leader, who was Zhang Changyu, the prime minister of Zuo. At this time, he was looking at him with a dark face.
"Ah...... Mr. Zhang...... I...... I...... I can explain......" Li Shuncheng stammered.
"Come on, tie up these people and put them in a prison car and send them to the Jingshi Prison!" Zhang Changyu ignored him, and loudly scolded his subordinates for coming up and arresting people, "If you resist, kill on the spot!" ”
"My lord! I...... I want to see the King! When Li Shuncheng, who was tied up with five flowers, walked past Zhang Changyu, he shouted at him.
The summer capital of Liang, the imperial palace.
In the main hall, the ministers were arguing for the crusade against Liaozhou, and the officials sat on the throne with their eyes closed and did not say a word.
"Shelling the imperial capital, the crime is unforgivable!" A Wenchen said.
