Chapter 179: Three Admonitions

Since the Sui Dynasty, the status of the Wa people has been different from other countries.

Why?

Because the Japanese people will lick it, and it will be comfortable to lick. What admires culture, what praises prosperity, when the envoys of the Japanese State pay tribute to the emperor every year, the rainbow fart blown is simply innovative, and the emperors of the Tang Dynasty in the past dynasties want to die.

They tend to put their posture very low, almost down to the dust, so that people will never be hostile to them, but will only sympathize with them, and can't help but want to help them.

"Helping them" is the purpose of the Japanese people.

The emperor was comforted, so he waved his hand, what sent Tang envoys, what sea ship merchants, just come, I will give you preferential treatment.

In such an atmosphere and environment, the status of the Japanese people in Datang is significantly higher than that of other countries.

There is no other reason, that is, the Japanese people lick it well, they can be completely shameless, and just ask His Majesty the Emperor to be comfortable.

All the envoys sent to Datang came to Datang, and their posture was also humble and flattering, as if they had been uniformly trained before going abroad.

Praise and admiration without repeating admiration, and then open the ignorant mung bean eyes, innocently ask for advice, how do you do it? Why are you so good? You're going to know it......

In ancient times, Gou Jian tasted dung for King Wu and asked about diseases, and the same was true of the Japanese people, for the comfort of the Tang Emperor, they really dared to eat.

This shameless posture of complete submission finally brought the Tang Dynasty's courtesy to them, and their courtesy was obviously much higher than that of other countries.

However, there is another allusion to Gou Jian, that is, the famous lying salary tastes gall.

The same is true of the Japanese people.

Although there was no deep hatred between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom in the past, the ambition of the island people was a deep hatred, and the jealousy of the island country for the rich and vast land of the Tang Dynasty was a great hatred.

This kind of unprovoked hatred is the motivation for them to try their courage.

More than a thousand years later, China is finally weak, and the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, do you think it was just a whim of the Japanese state?

That naval battle, they waited for more than a thousand years.

What Li Qinzai wants to do is to strangle their ambition in the cradle, and let them be honest for at least a thousand years.

Li Zhi was a little hesitant, Li Qinzai's suggestion was really not in line with the mind of the kingdom, and he had his own understanding of the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese state.

War is war, and Tang envoys are sent to Tang envoys, and there is no connection between the two.

The war was provoked by a group of people who did not obey the Tang Dynasty, but sent Tang envoys to ...... They're licking so well.

"Send Tang envoys...... There's no need to evict it, right? Li Zhi hesitated: "There are envoys from hundreds of countries stationed in Chang'an City, if the envoys to the Tang Dynasty are expelled, how will those envoys think of my Tang mind?" ”

Li Qinzai said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom are now in a state of war, and the two countries have declared war!" Since it is a war, there is no reason for the people of the enemy country to stay in the Tang Dynasty, isn't Your Majesty worried that there are spies and assassins in the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty? ”

"For example, after the king went to the Tang Dynasty, he only needed more than 100 people to gather and secretly dig up the road at night, and the grain and grass of the Wang division would not be able to pass, and the soldiers in front would be at risk of starvation.

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, his expression became solemn, and he was obviously seriously thinking about Li Qinzai's words.

After a long time, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Jing Chu still has advice?" ”

"Yes. Secondly, before the war, the ministers should cut off all trade routes between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, whether civil or official, the Wa Kingdom and the Silla State are separated by the sea, and the Tang Dynasty should also order the Silla State to cut off the trade routes with the Wa State, In short, not a grain of grain or a pound of iron is allowed to enter the Wa Kingdom. ”

"The Wa Kingdom is an island country, most of the things for the people's livelihood rely on imports, Silla Baekje is the country they rely on to import, the Tang Dynasty cut off its trade routes, it is equivalent to cutting off its logistics, the Wa State dared to provoke the Tang Dynasty, and at the beginning of the war, the subjects of the whole country tasted panic."

Li Zhi thought so, and said with a smile: "Si Yan is good, Cui Sheren, write it down." ”

Cui Shengfen wrote quickly, and his eyes glanced at Li Qinzai and finally softened a little.

Although he is not used to seeing his brother-in-law's personality, Li Qinzai's words are admirable.

Li Qinzai continued: "Third, the minister asked the Tang Dynasty Navy to blockade the sea frontier, and the warships of the Tang Dynasty should not only block the Baijiang Estuary, but also block the waters around the Wa State, so that their fishermen do not even dare to go out to sea to fish, and continue to cause ......panic in the Wa State."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi's face was a little embarrassed.

Li Qinzai was curious: "What is the difficulty of Your Majesty?" ”

Li Zhi coughed and said: "Although the Tang Dynasty Navy Division is majestic, but the number of warships has not been enough, in the past, the first emperor went east to Goguryeo, Zhang Liang raised 70,000 sailors, and 500 warships, but over the years, many warships are old and abandoned, and there are not many new warships filled with water divisions......

Li Qinzai understood: "How many warships can we use now?" ”

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "There are about more than three hundred ships, but half of them have to patrol the southern sea frontier of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to recruit and mobilize warships to serve in Si. ”

Li Qinzai was speechless for a moment.

Half of the three hundred warships is more than a hundred, tsk! More than 100 warships are enough to blockade the sea frontier of the Japanese State and deal with the battle of Baijiangkou.

How did this emperor be? Datang's tens of thousands of miles of maritime frontier, relying on more than 300 warships to maintain the tranquility of the maritime frontier? Don't know the importance of water masters?

Seeing that Li Qinzai's expression was a little contemptuous, Li Zhi was depressed, and had to explain: "After I ascended the throne, the court and China were quite chaotic, and the first emperor had too many foreign expeditions during his reign, and the treasury was empty, so he really had no spare strength to build warships. ”

Li Qinzai sighed and said, "Yes, the minister understands." The third article that the minister just said should not have been said, and the Tang Dynasty Navy Division should go all out to fight the Japanese people at the mouth of the Baijiang River. ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Jing Chu's advice is very reasonable, this is a theory of seeking the country, I have written it down, I don't know if Jing Chu still has advice?" ”

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment and said, "Also, please ask Your Majesty to allocate more gunpowder to the ministers, maybe it will be of great use." ”

Li Zhi was curious: "What are you doing with it?" ”

Li Qinzai hesitated: "After the victory of the Wang Division, do a few artillery battles to celebrate?" ”

Li Zhi looked at him deeply, and after a moment, he smiled: "You are." ”

Li Qinzai was the inventor of gunpowder, and it was the duty of a courtier to apply for the allocation of gunpowder in person today. With his ability, he doesn't have to apply at all, he collects materials and makes them himself.

Since he has applied, it shows that he strictly abides by his duty as a minister, and Li Zhi naturally wants to save face.

I don't know what Li Qinzai wants to do with gunpowder, but Li Zhi is sure that he will not use gunpowder to blow up the battleships of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Qinzai returned to Chang'an, he didn't even enter his home, and he deliberately entered the palace to say these admonitions, and now that the words have been finished, Li Qinzai is finally relaxed, so he got up and said goodbye.

"The minister is going home to prepare for the expedition, Your Majesty take care, and the minister retires."

Li Zhi stared at his face and said: "Jing Chu also take care, I didn't want you to go to the battlefield, but your grandfather insisted, he said that you are not the right way to do it behind closed doors, and the sons of the Li family will always have to go through the baptism of the battlefield to really come out, and I also feel that what I said is reasonable." ”

Li Qinzai was silent for a moment, and said softly: "The minister went voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with others. ”

Li Zhi couldn't help but be curious: "Why did you go on the expedition?" ”

"For the son of the minister, and for this peaceful world."
