"Wechen first arrived at Silla, met the king of Silla, and according to His Majesty's instructions, granted the king of Silla the golden seal of the king and the edict of canonization, the king of Silla hesitated for a long time, and finally accepted, but the king of Silla really had a different intention, and did not give tribute to the Great Sui as agreed, and even the Dongying people in the mission blocked my ship."

"I fought with him for a long time, and finally with the help of the third prince of Silla, who was close to the Great Sui, I set sail for the Wa Kingdom."

He sighed and said, "Because Silla had a very poor relationship with Baekje, he set sail in a hurry so he didn't go to Baekje, and Silla captured the land of Renna, so Renna didn't go and went straight to the Wa Kingdom." ”

Yang Guang's eyes were slightly fierce: "Silla is not a big place, but there are quite a lot of things, and it's time to teach them a lesson when you have free hands." ”

Pei Shiqing continued: "Drifting across the ocean, I went to the Wa Kingdom, encountered wind and waves on the way, the ship ran aground, and it took a lot of time to dock the Wa Kingdom, Sudoro took me to meet their Wa Emperor, in the Wa Kingdom I was given a grand reception, their emperor, Emperor Minda was very courteous to the ministers, and after explaining the intention, he was very cooperative. ”

"Wechen asked them if they had the canonization golden seal of Emperor Wei Wu, and Emperor Minda said that it had been lost, but he was very happy to accept the canonization of our Great Sui, and Wechen canonized it in accordance with His Majesty's will, awarded the golden seal, and Emperor Minda also specially held a canonization ceremony."

Contrary to Silla, the Wa Kingdom, which was originally thought to be more difficult, accepted the canonization of the Great Sui very happily.

Pei Shiqing turned to frown: "But Emperor Minda and others came to me alone after the canonization, saying that they would send envoys and craftsmen and monks to Dasui to learn culture, Wechen felt that this matter was inappropriate, but it seemed to be a reasonable request, and he did not refuse or agree, in order to obtain Dongying's Kanyu map, Wechen asked Sudoro to follow him to many places, and drew this Kanyu map according to His Highness's intentions." ”

Pei Shiqing took out the map of the Japanese kingdom that he had drawn, this map did not include these places in Hokkaido, it is estimated that he had not been to it yet, and at least the approximate location of other places and the main cities and main roads were drawn.

After taking out the map, Pei Shiqing continued: "Your Highness, although the Japanese country has a nominal emperor, the people of the country are often counted as a force in a village or a larger city, and the fight is extremely powerful. ”

"It's barbaric, it's hard to educate."

These eight words are Pei Shiqing's description of the current Japanese people.

"Weichen and the Turks have been wrestling for a long time, and finally in desperation, he set off with a boatload of more than 50 Japanese people to return home, under the pretext that he had to go back to the imperial city first, and left the Japanese people in the port for temporary custody, waiting for His Majesty to sit down."

Pei Shiqing didn't say how dangerous this trip was, but wandering in an unfamiliar foreign country, he couldn't have encountered less dangers, and not saying it didn't mean that there was none.

"It's very dangerous and dangerous for you to visit a foreign country, and it's hard work."

Pei Shiqing hurriedly got up and bowed down and said: "On the way back, Wei Chen heard about the war between His Royal Highness and the Turks, and what Wei Chen did was meager, how dare he call it meritorious. ”

"In which port are the Japanese people who brought them back?"

"Tokai-gun."

"Okay, you go to the palace first to tell your father."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Pei Shiqing left, Li Yuan asked puzzledly: "Since His Highness has no special explanation, why did he intercept him first?" ”

"Going to a foreign country, what I saw and heard came back to tell all the envoys to listen to the words of one person, this Pei Shiqing is a righteous person, what he said should be true, I am not without a special explanation, but he said that the truthful answer is what I think, so I didn't let him change anything alone."

"What did Your Highness mean?"

Yang Guang sighed lightly: "I am afraid that the capital of the Wa Kingdom and Silla Baekje will grovel and pay tribute to the Great Sui, and my father and emperor will wave his hand with the demeanor of the king of the Central Plains to embrace all rivers and rivers, so that people from other countries can enter our dynasty to study at will." ”

Li Yuan understood what Yang Guang was worried about, and according to Pei Shiqing's words, foreign countries coveted my Great Sui, so Yang Guang was much more relieved, and Yang Jian could not condone it.

Miss Nanxi said: "Your Highness, you are always far-sighted, and these small countries on the side are also considered. ”

"My Great Sui is now at an unprecedented peak in national power, and after pacifying the Turks, my father will inevitably guide the sword to the side, Goguryeo in the northeast, Silla Baekje on the other side of the sea, and the Wa Kingdom, although it seems to us to be a small country, but how many of our Great Sui people have been to these places and really seen it?"

Yang Guang's question silenced everyone, everyone really hadn't been to these places, they didn't know anything about Silla except for Silla and women, and even more so about the Wa Kingdom, so they could only instinctively think that it was a small country with a big fart, and the people were all short.

"Never despise any enemy."

"This time, Pei Shiqing brought back the map of the Wa Kingdom is still our first map of the Wa Kingdom, at least in case of any situation in the future, where is the Wa Kingdom, where is his capital, mountains, rivers, and main roads, we can all have an understanding, so that the monk of Zhanger will not be confused, but it is a pity that Silla's vigilance is relatively strong, and he did not get its Kanyu map."

"But." Yang Guang smiled slightly: "The Silla people are disrespectful to our dynasty, this matter is enough." ”

"Now that I have just finished the Turkic War, the loss of troops is also large, and I should not make a move against the Southern Dynasty in a short time, but it is always possible to free up my hands to clean up the small Silla."

Li Yuan said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty should summon you after meeting Pei Shiqing. ”

"Yes."

Sure enough, soon the news of summoning Yang Guang came, and Yang Guang was ordered to enter the palace.

Yang Jian told Yang Guang what happened to Pei Shiqing's envoy, and then said with some sadness: "Amour, the envoy is your idea, and now the situation encountered, first, although the Silla people accepted the golden seal, they were not ready to pay tribute to our Great Sui, and even rude to the envoys, the envoys represented the face of the imperial court outside, and second, the Japanese people sent a lot of craftsmen to come to learn, I don't feel the need to let them learn our technology and culture, how to deal with the stranded Japanese people?" ”

"Father, the people from the Wa Kingdom, you can leave it alone for the time being, just let them stay near the port for a while, the technology of the Great Sui cannot be let them learn, but it is possible to train them to become maritime merchants, and use the gold and silver of the Wa Kingdom to buy our goods, the goods can be reproduced, but the gold and silver enter the country, can not be reproduced."

"I've never heard of this idea."

"Father, it is better to give people fish than to teach people to fish, we will only accept people to fish, and never teach them to catch fish, our high-end silk and satin, high-quality utensils, can be sold to their nobles at a high price, and Pei Shiqing also said that they are fighting endlessly, and they can even use commodities to differentiate them, and it will be effective in the long run."

"Divide them with commodities?"

"Weapons."

"What? You actually want to sell weapons to the Japanese state? ”

"Father, don't be angry, you have to think about it first, our country is so far away from us now, we can only exacerbate their internal strife by selling some of their weapons and equipment, and we have better weapons, but we can deal with some old weapons that are not very useful to the Japanese country, their productivity is weak, many villages and towns are fighting with farm tools, and a sword of our third class can also be sold at a good price."

Yang Jian thought of the firearms that the Sui Dynasty was vigorously developing, and frowned deeply: "This matter, put it aside for the time being." ”

"Yes, father, as for Silla, the son thinks it's time to beat it up."

"How to beat."

"Since you want to beat, then the disobedient ones will be beaten together, send a team of envoys, and use Goguryeo to send an envoy to Silla, and the team of envoys should have more than 2,000 troops."
