Chapter 128: Opportunity
Guan Xuanzhi understood the foundation of survival and the direction of struggle in the future, although he had just suffered a little, he also felt happy and even excited at this time. He is not afraid of Li Ye's domineering iron blood, as long as Li Ye shows them the way, they will know what to do.
"The army that will take over the defense of Heiankyo will arrive soon, accompanied by the civilian officials who are in charge of civil affairs and responsible for rebuilding order after the war. ”
Li Ye gave an order, "You have to be clear, the war is over, and what I want next is stability, those who cause trouble for no reason, in order to curry favor with me, take the opportunity to loot the wealth of the people, fish and flesh of the people, behead!"
Guan Xuanzhi's expression was grim, and he hurriedly received the order.
Before leaving, he suddenly thought of something, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the people of the Fujiwara family, do you want to hunt down and kill?"
Li Ye glanced at him and only said four words, "Don't leave a single one." ”
"Command!" Guan Xuanzhi's spirit was greatly lifted, chasing and killing the Fujiwara family would be their first battle for His Majesty the Emperor, and it was related to his impression, status, and future in His Majesty's mind, and he made up his mind that he must let all the nobles do their best to do this perfectly!
Guan Xuanzhi bent his waist so that his head was about to touch the ground, and he bowed down the steps, still refusing to turn around, seemingly planning to exit the palace gate like this. Li Ye frowned, instinctively disliked this humble gesture, the soldier he wanted needed to straighten his waist and be full of momentum.
After thinking about it, Li Ye still didn't say anything to correct anything. Now these people's respectful and humble posture is not completely unnecessary, and now is the time when they need to completely surrender to Datang, and letting them maintain such an attitude will help them figure out their position.
If they can make enough meritorious contributions to Datang in the future, it will not be too late to give them Datang's household registration and give them the dignity they deserve.
Thinking of this, Li Ye was in a much happier mood and a lot more relaxed. waved his hand, signaled the eunuch who was standing on the side, and passed his order, so that the concubines and palace maids who were still kneeling in the square returned to their places.
Whether it is Fujiwara Wenzi or Fujiwara Wenzi, they are indeed rare stunners in the world, and the main reason why Li Ye did not look at them with the right eyes before was not how disgusted they were, but for Guan Xuanzhi and others.
He wants to erect in the minds of these people a heroic image of a god and a martial artist, who is not moved by external objects.
He is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has just conquered this land, if he is moved by beauty at this time, not to mention the people who Guan Xuanzhi, will they underestimate him, just the consequences of this will be disastrous.
It is very likely that those powerful people will go on a large scale to search for beauties, continue to give them to him, and even amass wealth, impress him with all kinds of rare treasures, in short, in order to gain his favor, all kinds of means will be used to the extreme.
As a group of people who have died in the country, there is nothing more important than pleasing the new master, these people will never have a bottom line, and they can do anything. And this is extremely unfavorable to Datang's rapid restoration of order in this land, governance here, and turning the power of this place into Datang's national strength.
Therefore, Li Ye told Guan Xuanzhi that his military exploits were the only thing that all the Japanese people could use to impress him and win their own survival chances and Tang identity.
This is the first rule that Li Ye has set for this land, and it is also the most important rule at present, which is related to national affairs and the foundation of society!
"It's a bit tiring to be a wise emperor. Li Ye is not without self-deprecation
Occur.
......
After the Tang army took over Heianjing, the first thing they did was to issue a letter and order officials and nobles from all over the country to quickly come to Heianjing to meet the emperor.
Mo said that the entire Wa Kingdom, a large area of Honshu Island, has not yet been captured by the Tang Army, and now that the Wa State has been destroyed, Li Ye of course wants to change the banner of the king of the city immediately.
As for those who did not obey the order, of course, it was the prominent nobles of Heianjing, who had submitted to the Tang Dynasty, to lead the way for the Tang army and assist the Tang army to attack. Once the spirit stones brought from Silla are in place, such a campaign will begin with thunder.
At this time, the magnates, monks, and soldiers of the Japanese State were even more impatient and high-spirited than the Lingnan Navy Army.
This made Yang Xingmi and other Lingnan Navy generals dumbfounded, and felt very incredible, and from time to time people asked each other, why were these people so eager to attack and kill their former comrades?
After Guan Xuanzhi and the others heard such words, they said with righteous faces, and solemnly explained to Yang Xingmi and others that they were the descendants of the ancestors of the Chinese people, and now they are the minions of His Majesty the Emperor, and they have the responsibility and duty to conquer those traitors and maintain the supreme majesty of the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty!
As for those who do not obey His Majesty's orders, they are not any of their comrades, but a group of wild descendants, stubborn and unruly, and must be suppressed and cleansed with swords and guns.
Such an answer made Yang Xingmi and the other generals look at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while, and in the end, they could only praise each other for their good understanding.
When they turned to face Li Ye, they understood that this was all a reaction caused by His Majesty the Emperor's rules, and the admiration for Li Ye in their hearts was like what Yang Xingmi said, like a surging water.
Li Ye waved his hand, looking indifferent and unwilling to boast.
The words and deeds of Guan Xuanzhi and others are all expected by Li Ye, these people do not have the identity of the Tang Dynasty at present, there are rules he has set up, in order to survive, in order to earn a foothold, let them go to fight against their former comrades, it is really nothing.
What's more, Li Ye also gave them a reason to be mentally enough to convince themselves. Once again, it turns out eloquently that at all times, mind control is far more effective than physical restraint in dealing with anyone.
In order to establish the ruling status of the Tang Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom, Li Ye established the Zhendong Protectorate here, and Yang Xingmi temporarily took over the position of the Protector.
When Li Ye was giving orders in Heiankyo and commanding countless Japanese monks to fight for him, Fujiwara Tokihei and thousands of members of the Fujiwara family were sailing on the sea, along the coastline of Honshu Island all the way north.
Their destination was Ezo Island in the north.
Ezo Island is also known as Ezo Land, and as the name suggests, even the Japanese people regard the island's inhabitants as a group of barbarians who catch shrimp.
It can be seen from this that it is an eternal truth that people despise each other, and everyone will never lose the will to find superiority for themselves because of their low status.
Because of the long and narrow terrain of Honshu Island, it is not an easy journey to reach Ezo Island by sea from the bay about 150 miles southwest of Heiankyo, which is definitely not an easy journey.
"Ezo is a vast land, much larger than Chikushi Island and Iyo Island. What's even more difficult is that it is sparsely populated, and there is only a group of barbarians on the island who catch shrimp for a living
Yi, not very civilized, the strength of the monks is extremely weak, as long as we reach Ezo, we can breathe a sigh of relief first. ”
On a tall battleship in the center of the fleet, Fujiwara Tokihei, with a resolute face, pointed to the vast sea in the north and said to Fujiwara Kiyotsune beside him.
After this period of sea voyage, their faces were full of wind and frost, many of them were seasick and dizzy, and cries were heard from time to time in the cabins of each ship.
Fujiwara Kiyotsune sighed and said worriedly: "The climate of Ezo Island is cold, it is not very suitable for human habitation, we can only establish a foundation when we get there, if someone pursues and kills us behind, we can't even stand on Ezo Island, where else can we go? Further north, can those old and weak women and children in the clan still live?"
Fujiwara Shihei doesn't like to listen to these words very much, the situation is so far, the Fujiwara family has no choice at all, if you want not to die, you can't wait for death in Heianjing, and now that you're outside, even if there are many difficulties, you have to grit your teeth and get through.
For the sake of the confidence of the clansmen, Fujiwara Shihei still stretched his brows and said firmly: "Uncle, don't worry, no one will hunt us down." The Tang army is unstoppable, it will inevitably capture Heianjing, they are not strong enough, in order to completely occupy Honshu, they are bound to use troops everywhere, stationed on all sides, how can they have leisure to take care of us?
"And under the offensive of the Tang army, the country has no power to resist, in the catastrophe of the destruction of the country, everyone is scattered and fleeing, it is too late to survive, who still has the heart and strength to pursue and kill us? And the only one who has the strength to do so is the emperor, but the Tang army will definitely not let them go. ”
Speaking of this, Fujiwara Tohei showed a heartfelt smile on his face, and he was deeply proud of his previous decisive strategy and wise move, "Uncle, please believe me, the clansmen are safe! Judging from all aspects, it will take a lot of time for the Tang army to completely occupy Honshu, and then they will have to appease the people, restore order, and let Honshu recuperate."
"Ezo is a remote and barren place, Tang Jun will not be interested in it for the time being, and when they have the energy to come, we will already lay a good foundation. When the time comes, we will explore and expand around based on Ezo, and the situation will definitely be much better!"
Fujiwara Kiyotsune nodded again and again after hearing this, nodded with relief at the end, patted Fujiwara Tokihei's shoulder, and said sincerely: "You are right, the Fujiwara family has you, it is really a great blessing." Otherwise, in the face of such a catastrophe as now, the Fujiwara family really doesn't know what situation they will fall into. ”
Fujiwara Shihei said a few modest words, but in his heart he felt that Fujiwara Kiyotsune was right, and he was indeed very wise.
At this moment, a person from the True Human Realm clan who was in charge of the back of the palace suddenly hurriedly reported: "Family master, it's not good, someone has caught up with us!"
Fujiwara Tokihei and Fujiwara Kiyotsune were stunned at the same time, how could anyone chase them at this time? Who would chase them?
"How many boats does the other party have?" asked Fujiwara calmly.
"I haven't seen a ship yet, only a True Realm Great Cultivator, flying in the woods on the coast!" replied.
"I'll take a look!" Fujiwara Tokihei jumped up from the deck, and Fujiwara Kiyotsune, who was worried in his heart, hurriedly followed.
Fujiwara Tokihei came to the back of the fleet, stood in the sky, and under the guidance of the monks behind the palace, he looked at the wooded shore, and soon found that several great monks were flying fast, although the other party deliberately concealed his whereabouts, but still could not escape Fujiwara Tokihei's sight.
"Is it your own person?" Fujiwara Tokihei saw the other party's clothes, and although he couldn't see his face clearly, he had already judged the identity of the other party as a Japanese national.
