Chapter 664, The Tactics of the Japanese People
The two sat down in the private room, and the entourage remained outside. The maid brought light and delicate dishes and tea, and then withdrew.
Yang Peng picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhao Xiangxiang. Zhao Xiangxiang only felt flattered, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, let the little sister come!" Yang Peng smiled: "You call me eldest brother, and my brother takes care of my younger sister, that's right, not to mention just pouring a cup of tea." Zhao Xiangxiang was very moved, only felt that although the eldest brother was already the emperor, he had not changed in the slightest as when he first met, and he was still the bold and enthusiastic brother! Thinking like this, his eyes couldn't help but show a look of attachment.
Yang Peng poured Zhao Xiangxiang full of tea, then poured himself full of tea, put down the teapot, picked up the teacup and took a sip, blinking his mouth. Zhao Xiangxiang hurriedly said: "Big brother must not be used to drinking tea, it is better to let them serve a pot of wine!" β
Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand and said, "To be honest, your eldest brother and I don't really like to drink much!" That is, when they were with Duan Zhixian and Shi Liancheng, they just had a drink! β
Zhao Xiangxiang showed surprise and said: "Big brother is brave in the world, it is Yan Zhao Haojie, he doesn't like to drink?!" β
Yang Peng smiled: "The wine is spicy, I don't think there's anything to drink!" I still prefer to drink sweet things, such as fruit juice or something, mung bean soup is better than wine! Zhao Xiangxiang couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help but feel that the eldest brother was sometimes a little like a child. As soon as this thought came out, I was taken aback.
Yang Peng took a pair of chopsticks and ate winter bamboo shoots, and said, "I thought that little sister was in Tianjing New Town." When did you come to Yanjing? β
Zhao Xiangxiang said: "It's been a few months. I really couldn't stand my uncle and aunt anymore, so I had to say goodbye to Yanjing without saying goodbye. β
Yang Peng frowned and asked, "Did your uncle and aunt bully you again?" β
Zhao Xiangxiang hurriedly shook her head, looked up at Yang Peng, and said, "Where do they dare?" It's just that they come to Luo all day long, begging the little sister to come and talk to the eldest brother or the girls, and the little sister said to them that the eldest brother governs the country according to the law and does not talk about human feelings, and it is useless for the little sister to say it, but they just refuse to listen, and they still talk endlessly. The little sister was so annoyed by them that she had no choice, so she simply said goodbye without saying goodbye! β
Yang Peng smiled and said, "Your eldest brother and I are not iron-faced and selfless Bao Gong, if you come to ask for eldest brother, eldest brother will definitely help you within the allowable range!" When Zhao Xiangxiang heard Yang Peng say this, she couldn't help but be very moved, and she felt that her eldest brother was really like her brother.
Yang Peng took a pair of chopsticks and vegetables and ate them, and asked, "Where do you live now?" If you don't have a place to live, let's live in the palace. The palace is empty most of the time anyway, so it's too wasteful to be empty! β
Zhao Xiangxiang said gratefully: "Thank you, big brother, for your kindness!" But the little sister lives in the inn, it's still okay! β
Yang Peng frowned, "Then how can it be done!" No matter how you say it, you're also my sister, how can you live in an inn! Move to the palace today! If Yonghui saw you, she would be overjoyed! β
Zhao Xiangxiang showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Yonghui is also here?" β
Yang Peng nodded with a smile and said, "Not only she is here, but my family is here!" Seeing Zhao Xiangxiang's surprise, she explained with a smile: "I have something to come here, so I simply took them out to play." Zhao Xiangxiang suddenly realized.
Yang Peng saw that Zhao Xiangxiang hadn't moved his chopsticks or drank tea, so he asked, "Don't these dishes and tea suit your taste?" Zhao Xiangxiang shook her head and said, "No!" My little sister usually doesn't eat so well! Yang Peng smiled: "Then eat it while it's hot." These things should be eaten while they are hot, and it is not good when they are cold. Zhao Xiangxiang responded, picked up the chopsticks, and ate them in small bites.
Yang Peng asked while eating and drinking: "Sister, have you written any works recently?" β
Zhao Xiangxiang blushed and said: "I wrote some poems, but I can't get into the eyes of my eldest brother!" β
Yang Peng said: "Who said that! I like the poems you wrote! Zhao Xiangxiang was very happy when she heard this, "If the eldest brother likes it, the younger sister will give the latest poetry book to the eldest brother!" Yang Peng smiled: "Look, what else can't you say in the eyes of the eldest brother, in fact, even a collection of poems has been published!" Your eldest brother and I have never published a poetry collection in my life! β
Zhao Xiangxiang blushed and said: "The eldest brother's talent is like the sky and the moon, and the little sister only has the share of looking up!" Publishing a collection of poems is actually nothing! β
Rao is Yang Peng's face is as thick as a city wall, and he couldn't stand the old blushing when he heard this, he smiled and waved his hand: "It's a prize!" It's over! Zhao Xiangxiang admired it very much: "The format of the eldest brother's song is novel, and the style is unprecedented, although the rhythm is simple, but it hits the hearts of the people, such a talent, I am afraid that Li Taibai and others will be slightly inferior!" Yang Peng laughed, "I don't dare to compare with Li Taibai!" Picked up the teacup and took a sip of it, and changed the topic: "Sister, when you go to the palace, you can have a good chat with Yonghui, with you as a companion, she will be very happy!" Zhao Xiangxiang said with a smile; My little sister really wants to have a good chat with Sister Yonghui! Then he said with some worry: "It's just that Sister Yonghui is now a noble concubine, and the little sister is afraid of ......" Yang Peng waved his hand and smiled: "If our family doesn't come to this set, you don't have to worry about anything at all." When Zhao Xiangxiang heard this, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
The two chatted while eating and drinking, and before they knew it, an hour had passed.
Yang Peng saw that it was not early, so he said to Zhao Xiangxiang: "It's not early, we're full, we should go home." Zhao Xiangxiang nodded.
The two stood up and left the private room. A maid from Fanlou stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Guest officer, your meal is a total of one or three dollars of silver." A female guard next to her immediately paid the money. The maid took the money, thanked her, and went in to clean up.
Yang Peng said to the female guard: "You accompany the little sister to clean up the inn, and then take her to the palace." "The female guard is safe. Yang Peng smiled and said to Zhao Xiangxiang: "Go and clean up." Zhao Xiangxiang nodded, and led her personal maid Ju'er to go, and the female guard followed.
Ju'er asked her young lady curiously: "Miss, why does Your Majesty want us to go to the palace?" Zhao Xiangxiang's eyes showed a look of gratitude, and said, "That's the eldest brother's care for me!" He wants me to live in the palace! Ju'er was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Live in the palace!" Miss, Your Majesty is so kind to you! Zhao Xiangxiang smiled slightly, and couldn't help but feel her sister's closeness to her brother.
Soon after, Zhao Xiangxiang came to the palace. Chai Yonghui was naturally overjoyed, and immediately asked Zhao Xiangxiang to live with her, and the two sisters held hands and said intimate words, just like a pair of biological sisters.
β¦β¦
At night, Yang Jiumei's soul flew out of the sky countless times, and finally lay on Yang Peng's chest and couldn't move anymore. Jiao gasped, closed her eyes, and just wanted to sleep.
Yang Peng shook her delicate body and called, "Hey, hey! β
Yang Jiumei opened her eyes, glanced at Yang Peng lazily, and said angrily: "I'm so tired!" You're facing me! β
Yang Peng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Don't you have anything serious to tell me?" When Yang Jiumei heard this, she remembered what was going on. Yang Peng teased: "I'm worried that I've forgotten my business, but in the end, you're so happy that you forget about it!" Yang Jiumei was red and delicate, and said with annoyance: "It's you who are not good!" Yang Peng said depressedly: "Tonight is basically your initiative!" Why did it become bad for me again? Yang Jiumei said infinitely embarrassed: "It's your fault!" β
Yang Peng nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault!" Then he sang softly: "It's all my fault, the moon is in trouble, so that I am unconsciously satisfied, and I am ...... by the vanity of love" sang and sang, and his fingers slid over Yang Jiumei's smooth skin like brocade. Yang Jiumei couldn't stand the ripples of her heart, hugged Yang Peng's neck suddenly, kissed his lips passionately, stared at Yang Peng with shining eyes, and said angrily: "You harmful spirit, you make me emotional again!" Yang Peng stroked Yang Jiumei and said with a smile: "Then let's continue to travel in the rain in Wushan!" β
Yang Jiumei hurriedly shook her head and said angrily: "I'm so tired, I can't come again!" Then he leaned back on Yang Peng's chest, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are not allowed to make it bad!" I'm going to get down to business with you now! Yang Peng smiled bitterly: "You are testing my willpower!" β
Yang Jiumei raised her head and glanced at Yang Peng, lay back, sorted out her thoughts, and said, "The latest news I got is that the capital of the Seljuk Empire has been lost!" Yang Peng frowned and muttered, "This is really a bit beyond my expectations!" "Then he said in his heart: 'Have the Western Crusaders ever broken through the capital of the Seljuks in history?' Doesn't seem to have one, right? The Seljuk Turks of the Middle Ages seemed to be very strong! History has changed beyond recognition, and it seems that eighty percent of it is my butterfly that is to blame! β
Yang Jiumei saw that Yang Peng was thinking, so she stopped talking and waited for him to finish thinking. Seeing that he came back to his senses, he continued: "There was a military coup d'Γ©tat on the side of the Yue Li Dynasty, and Li Hongwu suddenly seized the palace by force and became the new emperor of the Yue Li Dynasty. The new emperor claimed that his father died violently, but I think nine times out of ten it was he who killed his father and seized the throne! The ministers of the court were purged, and many ministers who were finally the old emperor were raided and destroyed! β
Yang Peng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This is the end of being a slave for others!" Once the owner's house changes, it is often not good to die! Yang Jiumei nodded thoughtfully, and continued: "Finally, it is information about the Japanese people," and then looked at Yang Peng, with some inexplicable taste in her expression. When Yang Peng saw her like this, his heart moved and asked; "Is there something unexpected going on over there with the Japanese people?"
"Ping Qingsheng was stabbed to death, and now Ping Qingsheng's power has collapsed!"
Yang Peng was taken aback, "What? Taira Kiyomori is dead? Is this news reliable? β
Yang Jiumei said: "The information came from our people, so there shouldn't be a problem." It is said that not long ago, Taira Kiyomori got a stunning woman who was extremely charming, called Tamamo Mae. Taira Kiyomori was fascinated by her and was no longer a director. β
Yang Peng said with a smile: "The spring night is bitter and short, and the king will not rise early." β
Yang Jiumei glanced at Yang Peng charmingly, and continued with a serious expression: "Not long after, Ping Qingsheng suddenly died, and that Yuzao was nowhere to be found. It is said that Taira Kiyomori died naked in bed, with a sharp blade stuck in his chest, apparently killed suddenly in the midst of extreme pleasure. And Tamamo disappeared mysteriously, so Tamamo was the biggest suspect in the assassination of Ping Kiyomori. β
Yang Peng said: "After Ping Qingsheng's death, his subordinates had no leader, and there was chaos. And the prince of the Japanese people took advantage of this opportunity to suddenly launch a full-scale counterattack, and Ping Qingsheng's subordinates must have died, fled, and surrendered. β
Yang Jiumei nodded and said, "That's right." According to intelligence, most of Taira Kiyomori's subordinates surrendered, some were killed in battle, and a small part retreated to the northeast and continued to resist stubbornly. However, with the current situation, the Japanese prince has already controlled the general trend of our country, and the resistance is only a lingering breath, and sooner or later it will be exterminated by the Japanese prince! β
Yang Peng stroked Yang Jiumei's slippery skin, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with my person?" β
Yang Jiumei shook her head and said, "Before they started to act, something like this happened, so none of them were exposed." β
Yang Peng said: "Immediately send them an order, continue to lurk, and don't act without my order." Yang Jiumei nodded.
Yang Peng continued: "Ping Qingsheng's remnants, I think it is necessary to contact them. Yang Jiumei asked, "You want to use them?" Yang Peng nodded. Yang Jiumei frowned and said, "I'm afraid they don't have any use value." Yang Peng said: "It's not a bad thing to get in touch first. If it is useful, it will be used, and if it is not used. We have nothing to lose. Yang Jiumei nodded.
Yang Peng pondered: "Prince Yongren! This kid is not simple! The previous Liao-Wa Alliance was single-handedly promoted by him, and it caused us a lot of losses! In the past, almost all the power of the Japanese people was in the hands of Ping Qingsheng, and he didn't have much room to play, but now that almost all the Japanese countries have fallen into his hands, I am afraid that there will be greater actions! β
Yang Jiumei said: "This is not necessarily a bad thing. Geographically, if the Japanese wanted to expand, they had to seize Goryeo before they could make the next move. In addition, now our Yanyun state is strong, like the sun, the army is mighty, invincible, on the other hand, the Liao State is far from the original power, although it has annexed Mongolia and Goryeo one after another, but it is also a heavy loss, and the treasury is empty. Yan Yun is strong, while Jin Guo is weak, this is an obvious thing. Therefore, if the Japanese wanted to expand, there was a good chance that they would start a war with the Liao and seize Goryeo. We can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. β
Yang Peng nodded and said, "This is very likely!" But it's not necessarily true! We want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the Liao and the Japanese should be able to imagine it. Will they join forces because of our common threat? I have to think about this! β
Yang Jiumei nodded, and thought: "If my expectations are correct, the envoy of the Japanese people will send an envoy to Liao and China in the near future, with the intention of testing. β
Yang Peng smiled slightly and said, "This is an opportunity that can be exploited. β
Yang Jiumei smiled and said, "Since they have come to test us, we will do what we want." Yang Peng smiled and nodded.
Yang Jiumei remembered one thing and said; "The exiled emperor of Goryeo is now in Yanjing, do you want to see him?"
Yang Peng thought for a while and said, "I won't see you for the time being, let's talk about it after I meet the Queen Mother of Liao." Yang Jiumei understood what Yang Peng meant and nodded.
At the same time, in Kyoto in our country. The Japanese crown prince Yonghito is discussing with his ministers.
Fujiwara said excitedly: "It's really nice that our great Japan is about to be unified now!" Everyone couldn't help but smile, and Fujiwara Shimitsu sighed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful, just like the arrival of Amaterasu, our Yamato nation is destined to rise!" The crowd nodded excitedly.
Yongren said with a solemn expression: "Our Yamato nation is the chosen people, and it is the best race on the earth!" We should not settle for a unified Japan! This is just where we started, we are the people of Amaterasu, and it is our sacred duty to spread the glory of Amaterasu to every corner of the earth! When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be in awe.
Yonghito continued, "What we have to think about now is how to defeat those inferior races, and how to give the people of Amaterasu Okami a better place to live! β
Honda stood up triumphantly and said excitedly, "Your Highness, please give the order!" The last general is willing to be a striker, and he will never give up! The other generals also asked for their lives, and for a moment, the roar of the beasts in the hall rang out, as if they had seen flesh and blood.
Yongren saw that the morale of the generals was high, and he was very satisfied and nodded. He immediately motioned for everyone to sit down, glanced at everyone, and said, "This task will definitely not be easy!" Now that Yan Yun has unified the Central Plains and established an empire, it will not be easy to defeat them! Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even the Liao State is not easy to deal with! Honda Tadakatsu shouted, "No matter how powerful the enemy is, we can defeat it!" All the generals echoed, and Kazuo Ryumoto said loudly: "Only a strong enemy can show the bravery of our Yamato warriors!" β
Yongren was very happy that his subordinates could have such a spirit, but his face was still cold, and he did not show the slightest joy, and said: "Our Yamato warriors are the bravest warriors in the world, the chosen people, and no one is our opponent!" The reason why the Heikiyomori Department was defeated before was because the enemy attacked frantically with ten times the force, and although the samurai of our clan were the bravest warriors, it was difficult for them to be ten with one, so they were defeated! When everyone present heard this, they also thought in their hearts that this was the case, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Liao people, they all won with the tactics of crowds, and when they thought of this, everyone's faces showed great indignation.
Yong Ren continued: "As the saying goes, the portal can't hold the wolves! Although our Yamato warriors are invincible in the world, the enemy is outnumbered, and even if we win, we will suffer huge losses! Therefore, in order to defeat the enemy, we also need to be strategic, we must be well prepared, and we must not rush it! β
Everyone felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very reasonable, and couldn't help but nod. Fujiwara said, "Your Highness, you are the reincarnation of Amaterasu, and all of us follow your guidance!" Everyone else had a look of resignation.
Yong Ren glanced at everyone and said, "We have to do two things now. First, recuperate and accumulate strength. As a result of the rebellion in the Quelling Kiyomori Rebellion, our country has suffered a great loss of vitality and needs to recuperate and at the same time accumulate sufficient strength for the great holy war in the future. This force is multifaceted, and the expansion and training of the army is naturally the top priority, as well as the development and stockpiling of various heavy weapons. If we want to defeat those inferior nations, the first thing we must do is to restore our powerful navy. As long as the navy can completely defeat the Yanyun navy, the balance of war will fall in our favor! β
Everyone whispered to each other, and Shimazu Shigeo, the commander of the Japanese Naval Army, asked excitedly, "Your Highness plans to rebuild the Naval Army?" β
Yong Ren nodded and said categorically: "This is a must!" The naval fleet must be rebuilt at all costs, and it must be even stronger than before, so strong that it is necessary to defeat the Yanyun naval army! As long as it can defeat Yanyun's naval army, it will be equivalent to cutting off one of Yanyun's arms, and it will put our army in a very advantageous position, and our army can rely on the sea control held by the navy to attack the Yanyun coastal area at will! I have already formulated the 'wolf attack tactic', and I can put it into practice when our navy completely defeats the Yanyun navy!" The 'wolf attack tactic' is that our elite samurai troops rely on the navy to constantly raid various cities along the Yanyun coast, plunder supplies, plunder populations, and constantly nourish ourselves with their flesh and blood, while at the same time they will continue to wear and weaken in such raids! The coastal area is the most important place for the Yanyun people's economy, and the 'wolf attack tactic' can achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone! We will get stronger and stronger, and they will get weaker and weaker! Of course, the premise of all this is that we must rebuild a strong navy, and we must defeat the Yanyun navy in a battle! β
Shigehiro Shimazu left his seat and bowed to Yongren, "The last general swears to fulfill His Highness's strategic intentions!" β
Kazuo Ryumoto sneered: "This kind of thing can't just be just talk! Don't repeat the same mistakes! Your Excellency is defeated again, but if your Highness's ambitions are frustrated because of this, you will not be able to atone for your sins even if you cut your belly ten times! β
Shigehiro Shimazu said angrily: "The last time was just because they fell for the tricks of the Yanyun people, they won't have such good luck again!" Kazuo Tatsumoto smiled coldly.
Yong Ren said to Shimazu Shigehao: "I believe in you, you can be ashamed and brave, and the next battle will definitely wash away the shame and revenge!" Shigehiro Shimazu said excitedly, "The last general will never disappoint His Highness's expectations!" Yuhito nodded, and Shigehiro Shimazu returned to his seat and sat down.
Yonghito said to Fujiwara Narita: "You are responsible for the rebuilding of the navy!" Fujiwara Narita said respectfully. Yong Ren said: "Let's go to the shipyard together in a while, I have some ideas to talk to those technicians!" β
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
