And the people on this island have no ability to resist, as long as they don't kill their people, these people are actually very well-behaved, so Li Tai is naturally not worried, this is an island they can't run at all, and Datang has a huge fleet, so there is nothing to worry about.

After letting go of the person, Li Tai did not hesitate and only pounced.

Hakata, which can be said to be one of the largest ports in the Japanese country, although it is not the capital of the Japanese country, but because it is close to the Tang Dynasty and the Korean Peninsula, the maritime trade here is very developed, and it has been the case since ancient times, so the scale of both ship and dock construction here is very large.

There are also countless businessmen gathered here in the port here, although the scale of the port here is very large, but it also depends on the comparison, the scale is large, but in fact, it is like the port in Shanghai that Datang has just prepared to build.

However, this place is enough for Li Tai, because it can dock the largest ships brought by Li Tai, not to mention, and it can dock five or six ships at the same time. This is naturally enough for Li Tai.

When he came to Hakata Port again, Li Tai had already found out the news here in advance, not to mention anything else, he knew all about how many ships and how many defense forces there were in the entire port.

As a matter of fact...... The entire port ...... There was little defense.

The rulers of Hakata, or the rulers of the Wa Kingdom, did not think that the enemy came from the sea at all, or that even if they did, they had no way to defend at all, after all, this was not the afterlife, and there could be defensive measures such as cannons.

In this era, even if an enemy comes from the sea, they have to disembark, and the final battle is still on land. Therefore, the defense of the sea has no effect, on the contrary, on the land, because various countries have been constantly fighting in the past, the land here in Hakata still has walls.

It's just that the city wall is not high, and the scope of the city wall is not large, basically only the area where the city lord's mansion is located here, and there is nothing in other places at all.

A large number of buildings were outside the city, and after releasing the boats and bypassing the main route, he saw the right time and went directly to the sea near Hakata Port when it was dark.

When the sky in the east was cloudy and most of the people in the entire Hakata port were still sleeping, Datang's fleet appeared directly on the periphery of Hakata Port, and then each big ship released five small boats, each of which carried ten heavily armed soldiers and quickly slid directly to the port.

The first batch of soldiers rushed to the port was more than 500 people, and by the time the people of Hakata City reacted, the soldiers of the entire Tang Dynasty had already crossed the port of Hakata and rushed straight to the gate of Hakata City.

Although the guards guarding the city had already reacted, because the walls of Hakata Castle were not high, and Li Tailai had already prepared in advance, all the soldiers came directly with the ladders made in advance, quickly assembled them under the city wall, and quickly climbed up on them.

There weren't many guards in Hakata Castle in the first place, and by the time they found out about rushing over, it was too late.

By the time it was dawn, the entire city of Hakata had already fallen into the hands of Li Tai.

When all the people of the Wa Kingdom in the entire Hakata Port woke up, they were already completely stunned, on the wall of Hakata City next to them, the flag of the Tang Dynasty was already fluttering in the wind, and inside the port, more than a dozen huge ships were crammed into the entire port, and thousands of elite soldiers in full armor and full armor had already controlled the entire Hakata Port.

All the people of the Wa Kingdom are silent, no one dares to go out, they all know who each other is, the banner of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be known to the people of the entire Wa Kingdom, even ordinary people know it, the Tang Dynasty of this era is in the hearts of the people of the Wa Kingdom, that is, the Heavenly Empire.

Their emperor needs to be recognized by the Tang Dynasty.

They didn't know what was going on, but the Wa Kingdom had been accustomed to worshipping the strong since ancient times, and the Tang Dynasty was a strong man to them, so they didn't dare to resist.

Li Tai has already disembarked, and the army of the Tang Dynasty has taken control of the entire Hakata City, including the City Lord's Mansion of Hakata City, although it is said that the danger cannot be completely avoided, but Li Tai knows very well that he must take this risk.

Li Tai is sitting in the middle of the city lord's mansion on a main seat of the Tang Dynasty, the chair is moved down from the boat, many of the habits of the Wa Kingdom are from the Han Dynasty Datang, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there are also many Wa people to go, just in the records of the Honglu Temple, there are at least a dozen waves of missions, these are recorded after coming to the Tang Dynasty, and these people after coming to the Tang Dynasty, many times stay in the Tang Dynasty to live for a lot of time before returning to the Wa Kingdom.

So Li Tai knows very well that the people of the Japanese country are very familiar with Datang, so he sometimes doesn't have to hide it, but Datang is now used to sitting on a chair, and most of the habits of kneeling have changed, after all, the chair is more comfortable to sit on, isn't it?

"What's your name?" Li Tai looked at the middle-aged man below and asked with a calm face, he used the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty, and he believed that the other party would definitely understand.

"If you go back to the Venerable Master, my name is Nanikawa Hakata." The middle-aged man looked at Li Tai with some apprehension, but he still answered honestly, and the salute was all in the Tang Dynasty etiquette.

Sure enough, this Langchuan Hakata not only understands the official language of the Tang Dynasty, but also speaks it himself.

"Well, when I took your Hakata City, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty had already gone to your capital to meet your Emperor Shuming and declare war on your Wa Kingdom." Li Tai said in a calm tone.

As soon as Li Tai's words came out, Nanikawa Hakata's whole person was startled, his legs were weak, and the whole person almost knelt directly on the ground, but he still forcibly held back, and asked in a trembling tone; "The Venerable Master...... I don't know if I dare to ask the Venerable Master, why did Datang ...... Why did you suddenly attack our country? ”

"Why? Because about half a month ago, some Japanese people plundered the coast of the south of the Tang River in our country, and all the people in a village in my Datang died tragically! And those people are all you! Li Tai said with an angry face.

"Ah...... O Venerable Master! Those people are all pirates, although they used to come from my country, but they are no longer from my country! If they dare to return to our country, we must take them all! Nanikawa Hakata said loudly.

"I don't care about that, who knows if what you say is true or false? I don't care about this, I only know that he is a native of your country, and since you people dare to rob my Tang Dynasty, you will have to bear the consequences. Li Tai said with a cruel smile.

"Venerable Master......" Langchuan Hakata wanted to say something, Li Tai directly waved his hand to stop his words and said: "You don't need to say it, I can tell you that I am the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tai, and I am fully responsible for this matter, but I am not an unreasonable person, and I will not continue to attack until the Tang Dynasty's mission declares war on you." ”

"And I'm not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, if you all cooperate, you can all save your lives, but if anyone is careful...... Don't blame me for being rude. Li Tai sneered.

"Yes, yes, the villain doesn't dare." Langchuan Hakata hurriedly said, there are less than a thousand soldiers in the entire Hakata Port, but now there are more than 3,000 Datang soldiers who control Hakata Port, not to mention that there is still a Datang fleet at sea.

"Very well, are you willing to cooperate with me in managing Hakata Castle next?" Li Tai looked at Langchuan Hakata with a smile and said.

"Yes, yes." Nanagawa Hakata agreed without saying a word, although he didn't know how the emperor would decide, but Hakata Port itself is far away from the emperor, so this place is actually more often in a state of self-reliance, no matter what the emperor's attitude is, he has already fallen into the hands of Li Tai, he doesn't want to die, he can only be obedient.

The Tang Dynasty is too powerful, the entire Eastern Turks and other tribes have been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, and he has also seen the huge fleet in that port, such a fleet, the Wa Kingdom cannot resist at all.

"Good." Li Tai nodded with satisfaction, in fact, he probably knew that things would go well, but he didn't expect it to go so well.

Langchuan Hakata was willing to cooperate, then the matter was much simpler, in just one day, most of the entire city lord's mansion had been cleaned up, leaving only a small part of Langchuan Hakata's family to live.

Then Li Tai directly released Langchuan Hakata and asked him to deal with the affairs of Hakata City, Hakata City can operate normally, but all the military camps and other important positions in Hakata City are controlled by the army of the Tang Dynasty.

Langchuan Hakata Li Tai didn't even let people follow him, at least not on the surface, but in fact, Hakata Port already has a lot of intelligence officers from the Tang Dynasty, although it was finalized after chatting with Huo Gang here, but in fact, Li Tai and they had already prepared to make a move against the Wa State, and Li Tai had already arranged personnel to prepare to infiltrate the Wa State.

Because Hakata Port is the closest port to Datang and the largest port, most of the merchant ships come and go from this location, so their intelligence officers naturally came to Hakata Port first as soon as possible.

There are not many people in the Tang who know the Chinese language, but in fact there are quite a few people, and the personnel are provided by Li Shimin, and the intelligence department of the Tang has been established by Li Ji nine years ago, and since then, Li Ji has begun to train intelligence officers who learn the languages of all the small countries around the Tang.

These personnel are naturally also from the intelligence department of Datang, and now these intelligence officers do not have too many personnel in the entire Wa Kingdom, so there are only two main monitoring positions, one is the Wa State Nanbo Jing.

Needless to say, Nambakyo was the capital of the Wa Kingdom, and the second place was Hakata Port, which was the main port for people to come and go, and the news was the most.

So although Li Tai didn't send someone to keep an eye on it, in fact, someone was secretly staring.
