0167 On the eve of the commencement of the commencement (3rd shift)
Compared with grain trading and war horses, Wen Yi and the others were most concerned about the situation on the Yan side.
"According to the information from Lin Hong, Yan Guo Muyugen built a naval battalion in Bohai County and recruited five thousand naval divisions to train day and night."
"Their second batch of warships was launched half a month ago...... But it's the same old flat-bottomed river boat as before......"
"Makiyogen has ordered these ships to go into the deep sea for training, and I believe it will not be long before they will take action."
After hearing this information, everyone's expressions were very serious.
Kim Rushan also said, "On both trips to Baekje, we were followed by suspicious ships, and we were forced to make a big circle before coming back. ”
Chai Ben said: "What is tracking is not necessarily the ship of Yan Kingdom, it may also be from other countries. ”
Xie Daoyun said: "Whether it is Yan Guo's ship or not, we must be careful. Now the situation is complicated, and a foundation that we have laid with great difficulty will be ruined in one fell swoop. ”
"Let's talk about Mu Yugen's side, he only recruited 5,000 water masters, and it is obvious that he didn't take us to heart."
"And there are many people in Yan who disagree with their approach, thinking that this move not only offends one more enemy, but also costs the people and money."
"He is likely to send troops to intercept us the next time we go to sea to trade, not only to train troops, but also to rob property and gag opponents."
"So, I thought the next trade would be the best time for us to do it."
Xue Dayuan said cautiously: "What if Mu Yugen doesn't fight?" Thousands of miles from Dongning Island to Qingzhou, not to mention the loss of money and food on an empty trip, is also a great damage to morale. ”
Xie Daoyun said: "So we have to release more bait to lure them out." ”
Bait is very simple for them, and there is no need to spread any rumors at all.
When they approached Baekje, they were told that the previous deal was a petty one, and now that there is a foundation of trust between the two parties, they can expand the size of the deal.
In the next trade, Tang will send ten times as many goods, so that Baekje will prepare gold and a thousand horses.
With such a large transaction, Shaai didn't dare to call the shots, so he found the Baekje king Fuyu sentence.
After careful consideration, Buyeo agreed to the proposal and asked Shaai to prepare the goods.
Baekje made a lot of money by working as a second-hand dealer, which greatly relieved the financial pressure. The prestige of the Buyeo sentence has risen sharply, and the resistance to reform has been much smaller.
Especially in the war with Goguryeo, he regained the upper hand, and sooner or later Lelangjun would become his bag.
But Buyeo is very clear that such good days will not last long.
The Tang people are not fools, they will not give the benefits to Baekje in vain, and sooner or later they will be left aside to trade directly with other forces.
Now what he wants to do is to take advantage of this last honeymoon period to make as much money as possible, Tang Guoren took the initiative to increase the volume of trade, and he naturally had no reason to disagree.
This time the transaction volume is really a bit large, and Shaai has used a lot of power to raise supplies, so this matter cannot be hidden.
Many well-informed people knew about the expansion of trade volume by the Tang State.
There are even people who exaggerate, saying that this transaction volume is compared to the wealth of a small country. Many people are envious and jealous, and they want to rob both sides.
Other countries just think about it, but Yan Guo is really ready to do it.
Ever since he decided to make a move on Tang Guo, Yan Guo has been inquiring about Tang Guo's news, but there is really not much news that can be heard.
They set their sights on Baekje, trying to deduce the movements of the Tang Kingdom from Baekje's movements, and this time they got the news as soon as possible.
The intelligence came all the way to Jicheng, and Murong Jun was extremely red-eyed.
He asked Mu Yugen to form a sailor to cut off the Tang Dynasty's commercial road, which caused a lot of controversy in China.
Some people think that this should not be done out of national interests, and some people think that it is unnecessary to work hard and lose money.
There are also some people who are jealous of Baekje and want to trade with the Tang State to make money, and if they provoke the Tang State, it will be equivalent to cutting off the possibility of their trade with the Tang State.
Several voices worked together, and he, the emperor, was a little unbearable.
To withdraw his previous order was to admit his own defeat, and he certainly did not want to. The best way is to send troops to grab a wave of Tang State's fleet and make this matter an established fact.
At that time, even if the people in the country oppose it, it will be useless, and they can only support themselves.
Moreover, the looted food and treasures can also be rewarded or sold to those below, and their mouths can be gagged with tangible benefits.
When the Tang Kingdom is beaten and succumbed, it is time to grab the fruits of victory.
However, he did not directly urge Mu Yugen to send troops, he himself is a master of using troops, and he knows that it is taboo to rush troops.
So I just sent someone to ask how the training of the Muyu Genshui Master was.
Mu Yugen also received relevant information, and when he saw Murong Jun questioning at this time, he immediately guessed the emperor's thoughts.
Just replied to Murong Jun, the sailor had the strength to fight, so he was waiting for the Tang caravan to come.
Murong Jun was very happy to receive an affirmative reply, and then looked forward to the good news coming.
Mu Yugen is indeed not a wasted person, it only took more than two months to train a group of farmers into strong soldiers.
These men are as agile as apes, and they are as skilful as walking on the ground.
Although he looked down on the caravan of the Tang State in his heart, and did not think that the strong soldiers he had trained would fail, he still attached great importance to the other party when it came to the moment of battle, and increased the amount of daily training.
Every day or two, sailors will be organized to sail to the open sea to simulate actual combat training.
Because he didn't know the exact time of the appearance of the Tang people, he scattered a large number of clippers on the sea to monitor this water.
The sea is endless, and you can see more than ten miles away with your naked eyesight, and you are not afraid of missing it.
Although Lin Hong's meticulous work could not penetrate the high-level of Yan Kingdom to obtain more detailed information, the unusually frequent dispatch of the sailor could not hide it.
Based on this information, Wen Yi and the others deduced that Yan Guo couldn't help it.
"There's nothing to hesitate about, this time Yan Guo will do it nine times out of ten. Now they think they're hiding in the shadows, we don't know anything, and we don't have much defense in our hearts. ”
"When they do it, whether they succeed or fail, they will be vigilant to prevent us from fighting back, and then it will be very difficult for us to do it again."
"So this is the best time for us to miss it."
"I have decided to make a deal this time, and I will personally go out to meet the sailors of the Yan Kingdom for a while."
Wen Yi said with a serious face and a resolute tone.
"Yes." Although everyone didn't want Wen Yi to take risks, they also knew that he had to participate in this battle in person.
The reason is very simple, this battle can be said to be the battle of the founding of the Tang State, and only by winning this battle can all countries look at each other squarely.
Not only abroad, but also for the people at home, a brave king who has won all battles will make them fearful and worthy of their allegiance.
Especially since their country had just been established, and the people had all migrated from foreign countries, they had little loyalty.
Winning this battle demonstrates that only by force can the people have a sense of identity and the centripetal force of the country.
So no one objected to his personal conscription.
Of course, the main thing is that Wen Yi has an heir, otherwise even if they are killed, they will not agree to him to go on the expedition.
"After I leave, Mrs. Shizi Yuan will listen to the government, and Xue Dayuan, Gan Xian, Mo Jun, and Chai Ben will assist the government."
After arranging some of them, Wen Yi led the army on a vast journey under Xie Daoyun's reluctant gaze.
