Chapter Ninety-Four: Thighs are not easy to hold!
When attacking Qinjin last year, Wang Ze had captured a large number of dwarfs, so at a glance, he saw that a man dressed as a Japanese man was also crowding around in a group of foreign envoys.
Seeing that there were envoys from the Japanese State among those people, Wang Ze suddenly felt that he was afraid that the Japanese people had some 'yin' schemes, and it was better to find out what was going on with these foreign envoys as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of the gap when Chen Qian was surrounded by a group of foreign envoys over there, Wang Ze leaned in front of Han Zigao and asked, "Do you know that the governor of the capital knows why these foreign envoys are so disregarding etiquette and surrounding the general?" ”
Han Zigao also came back from an expedition to Fujian and Zhejiang with Wang Ze just now, how could he know what was going on with these envoys, but Han Zigao was so smart that he understood what Wang Ze meant in the blink of an eye.
So Han Zigao walked to Chen Qian's Changshi to Zhongju's side and asked, "To Changshi, why are these envoys so rude, but the general doesn't expel people?" ”
Hearing Han Zigao's question, he glanced at Wang Ze beside Han Zigao in Zhongju, and then slowly replied: "Han Dudu doesn't know, these are all envoys from the Wa Kingdom, Baekje, Silla, Nanyang Ninan Kingdom, Linyi Kingdom and other countries this year, and there are also envoys from Goguryeo who are not coming to the post house. ”
Hearing Zhongju's words, Han Zigao understood a little, and he continued to ask: "This Baekje country has been coming to the court from time to time since the Jin Dynasty of the Sima clan passed through the Song, Qi, and Liang dynasties, and it is understandable to see the Baekje envoys coming today.
However, it has been more than 20 years since the previous dynasty of the Japanese kingdom, and the Silla dynasty has even made a pilgrimage to the northern dynasty and cut off contact with our dynasty, so why is it also coming now? ”
He smiled at Zhongju, and then said: "It's not because there is an extra evil shark in the East China Sea, and the countries that are 'forced' are a little unable to sit still, this envoy from the Japanese country is here to ask for help, and the envoy from Silla begged us to accept them as vassals, although the envoys of Baekje, Rinan, and Linyi came after the great victory of His Majesty's Northern Expedition, but it is difficult to say what they have in mind." ”
Your sister, Qu Liulang didn't look at the sea route, and let the little man and the 'stick' sneak to Nanchen, in case Nan Chen's brain 'cramped' had to 'intervene' in the East China Sea situation, I was afraid that there would be some small troubles, Wang Ze thought with a headache.
In fact, Wang Ze is not afraid of Nan Chen's 'meddling' in the situation in the East China Sea, just according to Nan Chen's warships, although they are also 'very' powerful, but they are not suitable for sea voyages.
Before Xiao Yu set off from Jian'an, there were nearly 100 warships and more than 200 other ships, but by the time the Wa State built Zidao (which had now been changed to Qinjin by Wang Ze), there were only 60 warships and 30 or 40 other ships left.
Wang Ze was worried that in case Nan Chen forcibly 'intervened' in the situation in the East China Sea for the sake of the face of the so-called Celestial Empire, it would lead to a rift between his own side and Nan Chen, and eventually affect some of his own followers.
After thinking about it, I can't think of a good way, fuck it, anyway, it's not Lao Tzu begging Nan Chen, but they are asking for more things on themselves.
At this time, the envoys of various countries also began to disperse under Chen Qian's greeting, but they did not leave the Imperial 'Flower' Garden, because Chen Qian also invited them to participate in the banquet that was about to be held.
Although Wang Ze and Feng Fu were young, their status was relatively high, so they were invited by Chen Qian to the top position, and sat on the top of the main seat with Chen Qian, Han Zigao, Zhi Zhongju and others, and the others were ranked second on both sides of the lower head.
Probably Nan Chen's banquet paid more attention to the 'spirit' god world, and the wine and food had not yet been served, but the singing and dancing were performed first, which opened Wang Ze's eyes.
Although the dancing 'girl' in front of her was dressed relatively conservatively, and did not have the so-called big 'breast', 'dew' and 'milk' costumes in the Tang Dynasty, her beautiful dancing posture and light and pleasant orchestral sound made Wang Ze shout in his heart that the trip was worthwhile.
When the wine and food were served, a few dozen civil officials such as the accompanying people to Zhongju grabbed a few chopsticks and did not move, and they seemed to be immersed in the world of singing and dancing.
However, the generals who came back with Han Zigao's expedition were unceremoniously chewed one by one, but compared to the overseas envoys, these generals can be regarded as elegant.
I saw that the plates in front of the overseas envoys were empty, and the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom were pouring soup from one plate on the fragrant rice produced by Nan Chen, and snoring and snoring into their mouths.
The ferocious eating appearance stunned a large group of Nan Chen generals.
"I'll drop a mother! How many days has it been since you eaten? During that time at sea, Chun Yukun, who had learned a few words of Qingzhou dialect from Gu Bin, hummed.
Wang Ze was also dumbfounded by the performance of these envoys, he was also curious about how good Nan Chen's state banquet was, and tasted some of the craftsmanship of the imperial chefs, but as soon as he entered the mouth, he only felt that the dish had no taste at all, and the taste was dull.
In the end, Wang Ze asked the palace people to take some salt and sprinkle it in, only to feel that it was barely enough to eat, and then Wang Ze understood why Feng Fu, who had always been a representative of foodies, was not interested in this banquet at all.
Facing the faces of all the people in the banquet, Chen Qian and several scribes such as Zhi Zhongju were as if they had not heard of it, and only cared about enjoying the singing and dancing performances.
The girl who led the dance in the middle bent her waist backwards and had her head on the ground, she really deserved to be a soft girl, and we will raise a group in the future, Wang Ze said proudly in his heart, but the shadow of Zhu Qingqing immediately appeared in his mind.
During the banquet, everyone gradually finished eating and drinking, and began to speak in a low voice, although the voice was low, but because of the large number of people, it was still noisy.
Gu Bin spat and said to Chun Yukun: "Brother Chun Yu, you don't know, I captured several big ships that time, and among them was a general of the Wa Kingdom. Those dwarves of the Wa Kingdom live by eating radish skins on weekdays, even if the general only gives him a bowl of brown rice today, those dwarves also think that it is the most delicious in the world······"
Hearing Gu Bin's words, Wang Ze was speechless in his heart, how could there be such a thing as Gu Bin said in the Wa Kingdom, people in the Wa Kingdom are indeed very short of food, but it is only the people of the lower classes who live in poverty, and they often chop radishes and 'mix' rice together to cook radish rice, and the life of the nobles of the Wa Kingdom is still good.
Of course, seeing Chun Yukun nodding frequently, Wang Ze didn't feel good, so he stepped forward directly to expose Gu Bin's shortcomings, Gu Bin would be even more uplifting.
Chen Qian saw that everyone in front of him had finished eating, and there was a commotion during the banquet, so she got up and high-fived and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the first of today's banquet is to help me Dachen pacify the East China Sea Xiahou in the southeast, and Feng Taishou of Lingnan Yang 'Chun' County will take the wind, and the second is to welcome all the envoys to my Dachen Hajj to His Majesty, but my Majesty Chao is now sitting in Shou 'Chun' and preparing to attack Xuzhou, you have to wait for a while!" ”
The generals of Nan Chen cheered one by one, as if Xuzhou and other places were at their fingertips, and many envoys also praised Chen Baxian for being the first emperor of the ages.
At this time, the Baekje envoy on the lower left side heard that Wang Ze was here, so he hurriedly came up to pay respects, after all, Wang Ze had helped Baekje a lot.
However, the envoys of Silla and the Wa Kingdom were not happy, especially the envoys of the Wa Kingdom gritted their teeth and wanted to kill Wang Ze with their eyes.
You must know that Wang Ze led the army to conquer Qinjin last year, and destroyed tens of thousands of troops in several battles, so that the young and strong people of the Japanese lost nearly half, and it will take at least ten years to recover.
Wang Ze didn't know that this year, because the Japanese people continued to cross Qinjin at night by small boats, and constantly attacked and harassed the migrant forts everywhere, causing hundreds of casualties, Zheng Kui, who was in charge of the Qinjin militia, was furious and sent a large army to sweep and clean Zhuzi Island with the cooperation of the blue wolf battalion, and also landed and swept the two islands of Yiyu (the ancient name of the four countries) several times and gained a lot of slave population.
In late February, the generals Chu Honghang and Meng Xian led tens of thousands of troops to cooperate with Zhang Hang, Han Guang and others of the Chang'men to attack Zhou Defense and Iwami.
It was only that Zhang Hang and others led the army to plunder fifty or sixty thousand male and female slaves of the Japanese Kingdom, and nearly half of the land of Iwami was occupied by the army led by Meng Xian.
Wang Ze didn't know what the envoys of the Japanese State knew about the later wars, but no matter what, it was impossible for the envoys of the Japanese State to make any hurtful actions to Wang Ze, and in the end, they could only gouge out their eyes at Wang Ze viciously.
Compared to the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom, who were full of hatred against Wang Ze, it was the Silla envoy Gong Xian who kept thinking about how to get closer to Wang Ze, and the situation in Silla was not very good now.
Although since the beginning of King Jinheung of Silla twenty years ago (reigned 540-576), Silla has built a powerful army, established 'Hwa' Langdo, and united with Baekje to drive the powerful East China Sea overlord Goguryeo from the Han River valley.
However, within a few years, Silla disregarded the friendship of its allies and took this strategic place away from Baekje, ending its 120-year alliance with Baekje.
Since then, Silla has been in a situation where it has been attacked by a joint attack by Baekje and Goguryeo, and if it were not for the support of an intermittent ally of the Wa Kingdom, Silla would have been tragic.
Now this tragedy has begun to appear, the ally Wa State was crippled by Wang Ze's Xia State last year, not to mention, and also occupied Qinjin and Chang'men', completely closing the water passage between Silla and Wa State.
If it weren't for the fact that Gong Xian and the envoys of the Wa Kingdom took the Baekje merchant ship after putting on makeup, I am afraid they would not have come to Namchen.
Although Silla took advantage of the great loss of the power of the Wa kingdom this time to obtain the Muhan region that he had always dreamed of, after all, he lost his original allies and greatly reduced his national strength under the attack of Goguryeo and Baekje.
During this period, Silla did not care about his face, and repeatedly flattered Baekje, trying to 'befriend' Baekje again, but Baekje hated Silla's treachery and obtained a lot of 'fine' weapons from Wang Ze, so he desperately attacked Silla and captured seven or eight cities in succession.
When Goguryeo returned to the capital of the city 100 years ago, Silla used to be a vassal of Goguryeo, but later Goguryeo moved its capital to Pyongyang and expanded to the south, and the national power of Silla increased, so the two sides quickly turned their faces.
In the face of the Silla people's request for peace, the Goguryeo people, the overlord of the East China Sea, also ignored them, making it clear that they wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to completely defeat Silla, a vibrant and very combative country.
In desperation, the Silla people began to remember that they still had the Celestial Empire in the Central Plains to make their 'legs', so they urgently selected suitable envoys to envoy to the Central Plains.
Silla was not the same as Baekje, which had been paying tribute to the Southern Dynasty since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but Silla had been establishing a tributary relationship with the Northern Dynasty from the beginning, and Silla was called Siluo during the Northern Wei Dynasty.
This time, Silla really provoked the anger of the people and was besieged by various countries, and King Jinheung of Silla personally led a large army to resist the Goguryeo army, and sent the general Kim Yuan to resist Baekje; On the other hand, he urgently sent Gong Xian to secretly take a merchant ship to the Northern Dynasty.
I only hope that the Northern Dynasty court will send a large army to attack Goguryeo in order to relieve the pressure of Silla, as long as it can 'force' Goguryeo to retreat, there will be only one Baekje left, and Silla will not be taken seriously.
Zhenxing's small abacus played very well, but when Gongxian secretly passed through Baekje by boat, he learned that the Northern Qi Dynasty, which had originally prepared to send an envoy, was actually besieged by the surrounding countries, and the loss of troops was not counted, and the loss of land and cities was lost one after another.
The land of Huainan, which had just been occupied for a few years, was completely lost, not to mention that even the land of Sanqi, which had always been the county of Northern Chaozhou, was no longer the territory of Northern Qi.
Oh my God, is this still the number one power in the world when Emperor Gao Yang of Qi Wenxuan was founded a few years ago? Gong Xian shouted silently in his heart.
Seeing that the Northern Qi Dynasty was now too busy to take care of itself, and was vigorously recruiting young and strong people to fight with all countries, how could it be possible that there was still a 'spirit' to take care of the safety of Silla in the East China Sea.
It is even more impossible for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, another successor of the Northern Dynasty, to rescue Silla, the Northern Qi is still a big country along the sea, and the Northern Zhou is a completely landlocked country, so don't even think about saving Silla in the Northern Zhou.
After all, the national strength of Nanchen is rapidly recovering, and the land of Huainan has been recovered in just a few months, not to mention, it will continue to march north to seize Xuzhou, and it seems that the national strength has become strong again.
But when Gong Xian came to Jiankang, he learned that Nan Chen was only bright and tight, and Beijiang Prefecture, hundreds of miles upstream of Jiankang, was already a battlefield, and Wang Lin's army, which was hostile to Nan Chen, was fighting against Chen's army there.
Gong Xian was dumbfounded, how could he care about himself in terms of Nan Chen's current situation, and besides, Silla had always been close to the Northern Dynasty before, and had always ignored the Southern Dynasty, and this time he came to ask the Southern Dynasty for help when he was in trouble.
There is a saying that you usually don't burn incense, and you are busy worshipping the Buddha in case of trouble, which is the behavior of Silla, and it is good that people don't drive Gong Xian away, and they still want Nan Chen to help, so don't even think about it.
As expected by Gong Heon, although the ministers of Nam Chan were also 'lustful' to Gong Heon and Yan Yue, they avoided talking about it one by one when it came to stopping Baekje's attack on Silla.
After staying in Jiankang for nearly a month, Gong Xian had no choice. Today, I heard that the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom asked to see Chen Qian, the king of Linjiang, and Gong Xian also came with him, but I didn't expect to meet Baekje's important ally, Xiahou Wang Ze of the East China Sea, at today's banquet.
Gong Xian's brain turned quickly, the current situation in the East China Sea is all because of Wang Ze, if it weren't for Wang Ze's appearance, I'm afraid that now Silla can already capture Baekje Sihyeon City
