The eldest brother looked at the old man for a long time, finally took a look, and nodded frequently: "Well, it's time for my Datang to take the flow of the begging in my pocket, the unfinished business of the previous dynasty should be completed by my Datang." "The eldest brother has also learned to be thick-skinned this time, and he speaks very grandly.

"And here." My fingers fell heavily on the chain of islands above the stream. "Here?" The eldest brother was a little stunned, squinted his eyes, sat up straight, took a sip of wine and said angrily at me. "Second brother, why did your little Jiujiu also use it on the eldest brother today?"

"Big brother, what's wrong with you, little brother? Look at what you said, these materials were all obtained for you by my little brother. You're good, and you're still talking cool when you read it. I threw my eldest brother a roll of the eyes, angrily snatched the bottle, filled it for myself, and then filled it for my eldest brother.

"Humph! Don't think that you have crooked brains, eldest brother doesn't know anything, eldest brother is eleven years old apart from you, small and big, what do you want to do, I, who is a brother, can I not look out for something strange? Don't roll your eyes, if you do, it's in vain. You can be honest, what other plans do you have besides developing Liuqiu, so that in the future, my Datang can obtain the rich resources of Luzon through Liuqiu? The eldest brother squeezed his eyes proudly, and pointed his finger to the northeast of the island of the Liuqiu Islands, the land called the Wa Kingdom.

"Hehe, big brother, you also saw it?" I agreed directly, the eldest brother is not an outsider, he will admit it if he recognizes it, and there will be no less meat anyway. Besides, I've always looked down on that country, and this big brother knows it. Besides, although the eldest brother is cautious in terms of personality, if I really talk about learning and looking at problems, I am really not the opponent of the eldest brother.

The eldest brother smiled faintly: "Nonsense, I can't see what I'm asking you for?" You have never had a good impression of the Wa Kingdom, and you have talked to your brother several times, don't let the Wa Guo learn the knowledge and technology of my Datang, lest when the time comes, it will let others take advantage of us. Now you let the eldest brother and I develop and beg, well, the country and the people are all out of public intentions, this point, the eldest brother naturally has nothing to say, but these small islands, if you make up your mind, this brother will really not help you, after all, the eldest brother is just an observer of the south of the Tang River. Liuqiu Dadao, since the previous dynasty has lost the people to relocate, the eldest brother also found out when the household department was looking for information, about 100,000 people are begging, the people of the former dynasty, since they are also the people of my Tang Dynasty, under the rule, no one has anything to say. But at this time, the Wa Kingdom is deferential to my Tang Dynasty, and if you want to fight the idea of the Wa Kingdom, you are not afraid of causing waves in the DPRK, not to mention anything else, even the old man will not be able to pass the pass. ”

---------------------------------------------------- "Big brother, in fact, the younger brother did not take this island because of personal grudges, but for my Tang Dynasty and the society." "I'm just talking. He clicked on the long chain of islands between Liuqiu and the Wa Kingdom: "The younger brother in this area calls it the Liuqiu Islands, and it has taken nearly two years to be investigated by the intelligence officers of my Datang Jinju Academy, and no less than dozens of people have been lost. The younger brother has also reported to His Majesty, and His Majesty will make a decision within a few days. ”

"Supplies for munitions?" The eldest brother blinked for a long time: "The second brother is not joking with the eldest brother, right?" ”

"Big brother, little brother will never joke, on this Liuqiu Islands, there is not only the sulfur that my Datang gunpowder urgently needs, but also saltpeter, if I don't take it, will it be left to the wolf's ambitions?" My finger landed heavily on the map of the Wa Kingdom.

According to the intelligence, the current Wa State is still in power and is not stable, Silla seized the Nakdong River, and annexed Renna, which is the stronghold of the two countries on the Korean Peninsula, and now, the relationship between the two countries is rapidly deteriorating, and at present, the Japanese family name and the minordial system are full of drawbacks, and the power of the wealthy clan represented by the Soga clan is not lost, and the power of the royal family is weak.

Influenced by China's idea of the unification of the king, Prince Shotoku tried to establish a centralized system centered on the emperor and save the society from the crisis, and implemented a series of reforms to this end. Although Prince Shotoku was in the Wa Kingdom, he tried to establish a centralized system centered on the emperor and save the social crisis, so he implemented a series of reforms and sent envoys to the Sui and Tang dynasties to learn the Chinese system. Later, a new policy was implemented, with the establishment of the 12th rank of crown, the promulgation of 17 articles of the law, the adoption of the calendar, the compilation of national history, the use of the emperor's name, and the promotion of Buddhism.

"The younger brother wants to ask the eldest brother, what do you think of the Wa Kingdom?" I cleared my throat and asked my eldest brother, because I hope to influence my eldest brother's attitude towards foreign affairs, so that I can join hands with my eldest brother, and take the opportunity of my eldest brother's observation envoy in Jiangnan Province to firmly control the Liuqiu and Liuqiu Islands in the hands of Datang, and Liuqiu can reach Luzon and other South Asian islands in the north, and Lianliuqiu Islands in the north. Look at what else can this country scratch?

"Wa Kingdom?" The eldest brother is also upright: "The eldest brother doesn't know much, but since the previous dynasty, the Wa State has sent no less than ten groups of Sui and Tang envoys to my China to study, from culture to science and technology and even religion, almost everything they want to learn. ”

"Big brother should also know that from the Han Dynasty to the previous dynasty, I am a coastal land in China, but I am not lightly affected." I took a sip of wine and sighed lightly, although the current Datang people, although open and receptive to new things, they lack a vigilance, a vigilance to look at the surrounding international environment with an equal mentality.

"Of course, this eldest brother knows that if he wants to come, he must be very frustrated, so he worships in his heart, so he has sent an envoy to admire my Central Plains culture." The eldest brother is still a little complacent.

I shook my head, "Big brother, do you know that in the previous dynasty, there was a female lord of the Japanese people, Feng Yu Shi Cookhouse Ji, also known as Tuigu, do you know what she did?" I raised my eyelids and asked with a glance at my eldest brother.

"Female? This big brother is not clear. ”

"Do you know that in the three years of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in the previous dynasty, Tui Gu sent an embassy to the court, and she asked to establish equal diplomatic relations with my China, this is still the information that the younger brother found in the palace, I don't know if the eldest brother knows?" I spoke slowly. I only learned this news when I was making preliminary preparations for future expeditions and supplementing my knowledge a lot.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty angrily reprimanded the envoys, and then sent envoys to make amends, and began to send Sui envoys to the previous dynasty, continuing to plagiarize and plagiarize our Sinochem culture.

"How can such a thing happen?" The eldest brother couldn't help but be stunned, and furrowed his brows: "It's a small country, it's so arrogant?" Amusing! ”

"Just ridiculous? Well, my good big brother, I'll tell you one more piece of news. Do you know what the lord of the kingdom of Wa now calls his people? I leaned into my eldest brother's ear and whispered. It seems that we have to come up with a killer move, this is a piece of information about the Japanese country that we have received not long ago.

----------------------------------------------------Syllable! …… The eldest brother's face was so pale, his eyebrows were all twisted together, and he slapped heavily on the table, and the wine spilled out. I was so frightened that I looked at my eldest brother in a daze, but I didn't expect that my eldest brother was not ordinarily powerful, very murderous, very majestic, I really didn't pay attention to it, it turned out that my eldest brother was not a kind person.

"A small country, with no more than a million people and no more than 100,000 soldiers, dare to call the emperor in vain?! Hateful, annoying! The eldest brother shouted angrily a few times, Fang Zi calmed down a little, and said to me with a look on his face: "Second brother, why didn't you tell your father bluntly?!" ”

"This news is also known to the younger brother tonight." I'm lying, I received the news three days ago, and now I am preparing the materials, and when all the human and physical evidence has been collected, I will immediately report to His Majesty the Emperor, Uncle Li, who is most intolerant of others to provoke him. Because the Japanese state is also a nail that must be removed, removed, and smoothed out in the surrounding international environment of the Tang Dynasty, this is 100% certain.

"Big brother, don't be angry, now, my Tang Dynasty's military strength is in the reserve period, plus now Lin Yi is using troops, the six departments of Nanzhao have not yet been resolved, and Tubo is trying to trap the beast and fight, and Baekje Silla is pinching hard, and the land of Liaodong does not dare to take it lightly, now, my Datang naval army is mostly coastal, and I have little experience in cross-sea combat, so in addition, this peninsula I Datang has not yet started, and Liuqiu and its islands have not yet been successfully handled, it is difficult to have the means to directly threaten the Wa State. Now that the eldest brother also knows, the younger brother has revealed this to the eldest brother. Why do you learn from the advanced culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty? In order to better arm themselves, he said, it will be for my Datang trouble! ”

The eldest brother nodded: "For my brother to know, this matter, second brother, you have your own ideas, but you can rest assured, as long as the eldest brother is in Jiangnan, he will definitely hold the Liuqiu and Liuqiu Islands in the hands of my Datang." ”

"The elder brother is the heart of the country, and the younger brother will take it as a model." I stood up, after the whole crown of bullet clothes, solemnly bowed to the eldest brother, and expressed my deep gratitude for the support behind the elder brother, the ancients said well: brothers work together, Qi Li breaks gold, and sincerity does not deceive me.
