Chapter 706: They Are Much Nobler Than Missionaries
Today, the conditions have been met. Then, as His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, I was naturally able to easily provoke the anger in the hearts of these arrogant generals. Especially at a big court meeting like the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was such a mess in front of countless envoys from various countries who came to our Chinese Empire for the first time to pay tribute.
In front of the public, and in front of so many envoys from various countries, he was nakedly slapped in the face. As the saying goes, raw is bearable, and practice is unbearable. Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it. Thinking that this matter is likely to spread to countless vassal states after the Great Imperial Conference, perhaps at that time, the Huaxia Empire will become a topic of laughter among those ignorant and foolish people, and it is the ignorant and foolish people of the barbarian land.
Everyone was surprisingly angry, even with a hint of madness and strong killing intent.
I am very pleased to see such a situation, so that the Japanese country has not had time to change its name to Japan, and it is too late to learn the ideology and culture of our Chinese Empire. They should be destroyed, leveled, and trampled down. Otherwise, how can we show the prestige of our Chinese Empire? And the style of the suzerain who can command the world?
Since the reason is extremely sufficient, after the Chinese Imperial Court and the Son of Heaven have no way to step down in front of the envoys of these countries, the only way to deal with it is to use war and the blood of the Japanese State to smooth out, or to appease our angry hearts.
Hu Nali, who had been an envoy with Su Yingao and came to the Sui Dynasty more than ten years ago to pay homage to Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, was never able to return to his hometown. In addition to him, there were also thirteen Chinese students who were going to study in the Chinese Empire.
All of them were put into the prison, and then, waiting, after the Chinese Empire sent troops to wipe out the country, they were able to crawl out of the prison and then be tried together with their lords.
"Within five years, I will send a large army to ask the Japanese state for an explanation, so that all the countries in the world can see clearly, although I am benevolent, I will never spare any country and nation that dares to provoke my Chinese Empire" When the curtain came to an end, I said this in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and countless envoys of the vassal states.
This time, no minister jumped out again to talk about what kind of labor expedition would cost the people and money. None of the ministers jumped out to tell me to convince people with virtue. Because, it was the Chinese Empire that was slapped in the face in public, and they were also tantamount to being slapped in the face in public by the collective. In such a situation, I am afraid that even a dog will bark viciously in the direction of the Wa Kingdom, not to mention the powerful and invincible monarchs and ministers of the Chinese Empire.
My words are not to set off empty cannons, let alone talk cannons, but just to tell these envoys of various countries, but also to let the world know that I, or the Chinese Empire, will send troops to set foot in the Wa Kingdom within five years, and then, there will no longer be the name of the Wa Kingdom in the world.
"Why do you have to wait five years? With the sailors of the land of Jiaozhi, 5,000 soldiers can be sent to the Wa Kingdom at one time, and the 5,000 elites of the Chinese Empire should be able to destroy their country. "Sister Yaoguang is still angry.
After retiring from the court, the civil and military ministers followed me to my office and sat down to sip tea, while discussing the scene that had just happened above the court with indignation.
"Lady, if I just want to get angry. Five thousand elites are enough to capture his lord, but I need more than that. I smiled and looked at this lady who was so angry that her cheeks were slightly bulging, and she was as cute as an autumn red apple, and Wen Yan explained.
"What else could there be? There are only a few counties in the country, what good things can there be? Sister Yaoguang looked at me curiously and said.
"The country is rich in gold and silver, and gold and silver are what I urgently need in China." I didn't say this, but Du Ruhui said it. And when he said this, Fang Xuanling, Wushi, Wei Yunqi and other important civil and military ministers had a look on their faces as a matter of course, and of course, anger was still moistened on their faces.
As if otherwise, they become outright robbers, or righteous messengers who are humiliated and want to suppress heresy. It felt like a bunch of seventeenth-century missionaries with Bibles, but with a loaded musket hanging from the back of their butts.
They will tell them what peace and friendship are, what mutual help is, and what noble sentiments are. Of course, this is just to tell the other party, what you want is to burn, kill and loot, turn other people's into your own, and trample all the good things into garbage.
Of course, this is just a metaphor, they are at least far more noble than those missionaries of the Western barbarians, at least they will be Confucius said, Mencius Yun.
Sister Yaoguang looked at me with a stunned expression, and then glanced at the ministers who took it for granted and took it for granted, and of course, there were also ministers who looked a little embarrassed, such as Wei Zheng.
However, none of them spoke out to express their opposition, and Du Ruhui's statement was too naked, which made a certain thin-skinned minister look impressive.
"This is the first time I have heard this statement." Wei Zheng seemed to feel that not justifying it was not enough to show that his moral level was still above ordinary people.
"This is natural, I really didn't expect that there are so many good things in a small Japanese country." Yang Gongren's face was taken for granted.
Then, Sister Yaoguang was relieved and smiled at me. "Your Majesty wants to occupy the Wa kingdom far overseas? That must be a long way off. I heard that the Wa Kingdom was in the east of Silla. Silla was in the east of Goguryeo. In the past, Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo were unsuccessful, Mo Feifujun, you have a better way? ”
"Of course, by boat." I smiled and gave my answer. "You may think that the Wa Kingdom seems far away. Actually, it's really not far away. ”
"Your Highness, it only takes more than ten days to reach the Wa Kingdom by boat from Cochin, and if you set off from Shandong, it only takes four days to arrive." Du Ruhui's words made Yaoguang sister and many ministers who didn't know about the shipping industry of my Huaxia Empire couldn't help but be stunned.
"So fast?" Wei Zheng couldn't help but let out such an exclamation.
The samurai, as the scholar in charge of industry and navigation, thought about it and quickly reported a terrifying number. “…… Yes, and the other thing is that most of the warships and ships we built in Cochin were about 300 tons. Loaded with 600 to 700 heavily armed Imperial soldiers, the Cochin fleet now had only 37 ships, but together with the merchant ships of the same rank, there were 58 ships, which could carry 25,000 heavily armed Imperial soldiers and two months' baggage from Cochin to the Wa Kingdom. ”
Everyone gasped, including me. Because I had already thought that the fleet of Jiaozhi must be much stronger than the fleet of Hancheng, but I really didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"Already so powerful?" I couldn't help muttering, I remember that back then, the first battleship built by Hancheng Shipyard was pitifully small, pitiful that it didn't look like a battleship, and there were more than a dozen people standing on the battleship, which seemed to be able to fill the deck.
Now, it was able to carry so many heavily armed Imperial soldiers and sail so far. It's really touching and heartwarming.
"In the past, the former army marched north to Goguryeo, sending millions of troops, and it took 800,000 people to work day and night, continuous transportation, which was enough for soldiers to eat and chew. If it is 100,000 soldiers and horses, it will also take 60,000 people. Han Shige looked out the window, as if talking to himself, and seemed to be telling everyone.
"Now, only fifty-eight boats are needed to transport tens of thousands of soldiers and two months' baggage, to a distance of 10,000 miles. It's unheard of. ”
"Actually, there was also a sailor in the former dynasty at that time, but it was only for the sake of partiality, and the commander of the sailor at that time was too light on the enemy, so that 100,000 elites of the former dynasty lost face under the city of Pyongyang, and were beaten by the Goguryeo people and fled like wild dogs."
Han Shimo's voice grew louder, and everyone listened to his voice with grief and regret. No matter what happened in the previous dynasty, we are all descendants of China after all, and their failure represents our failure.
"Yang Guang lost because he was too confident, because he used too many soldiers and horses, and because he didn't understand his own strengths and the enemy's shortcomings." Wei Yunqi frowned, his voice as cold as ice.
There is a more important point, Yang Guang is venting his personal anger, not seeking benefits for the country. So, he will fail. Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
"I am not Yang Guang, I will not destroy his country because of anger, but I will benefit the country and seek his country." I laughed too, and my smile, gradually, infected more and more people. "Of course, not only is it not only that my Huaxia can benefit from the land of the Wa Kingdom, but also that my Huaxia vassal domain understands that the Chinese Empire, how can they be despised and humiliated? If you dare, even if it is thousands of miles away, you will be punished."
"This is a great good, and those who insult me in China will be punished even if they are thousands of miles." Li Xuanba high-fived and shouted. And Luo Shixin had already begun to scratch his forehead, and his expression began to become anxious.
Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but smile: "Now is not the time. ”
"Your Majesty, when is the time?" Luo Shixin asked quickly.
"After I take the Central Plains, after our Huaxia Navy has more than 100 warships, the time will come." I didn't want to reply.
"Wouldn't that be a long wait?" Li Xuanba and Luo Shixin glanced at each other, and said almost in unison.
"How is that possible?" I gave these two young fools a blank look. "Now every month, a warship is built. In addition, larger and more docks are being built. By the end of this year, fifteen warship docks and ten giant warship docks will be put into use. The giant battleship is also a Qin-class battleship with a displacement of more than 500 tons...... Such a warship can carry nearly two thousand people to sea at a time. In four and a half years, our Chinese navy will have at least 20 such warships, and more than 50 300-ton warships. At that time, at least 70,000 imperial soldiers could be transported to the Wa Kingdom at a time. ”
