The summer is deep, the north wind is howling, Wang Junlin is wearing a crimson official robe in Qingjia, and he retracts his gaze from the far sea, although he knows that Yuan Taizuo and his son will never be willing to give him these two islands, but he didn't expect that this father and son would be so impatient to immediately send a sailor to attack.

"It stands to reason that Yuan Taizuo should also know that the possibility of wanting to take this opportunity to leave me behind is too low, but it is really strange that he is so eager to attack us." Wang Junlin muttered to himself, vaguely feeling that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it, so he had to increase the number of sailors sent to search as far away as possible to prevent Yuan Taizuo from having other ambushes in addition to the 10,000 sailors of Goguryeo Annan County.

……

……

The day passed like this, from night to midday, Wang Junlin stood on the big ship in the harbor of Dami Island, and there was a horn sound from the north cliff lookout, warning that a ship was approaching. The visual distance under the moonlight was limited, and Wang Junlin soon saw that when a few mast shadows appeared in the sea and sky, it was only three or four miles away.

Three brigs crossed the sea, not sentinels sent by Wang Junlin's side, and signaled from afar with lights to ask for approach.

Three warships were sent over, two were on guard nearby, and one was to pick up the seekers.

Wang Junlin guessed that most of the Silla kingdoms sent envoys a little farther away.

When he got closer, Wang Junlin saw that the person standing on the bow of the boat under the moon was Kim Guk-han, the prince of Silla, who had a relationship with him, and there was also a middle-aged man wearing the official robe of Silla standing beside Kim Guk-han.

The civil official of Baekje next to him was taken aback when he saw the faces of the two foreign envoys of Silla and said, "Silla actually sent the prince Kim Guk-han and the prime minister Lee Jong-il ......"

Wang Junlin didn't have time to ask in detail, and when he saw Jin Guohan and Li Zhongyi borrowing a rope ladder to get on the boat, he asked, "His Royal Highness the prince actually crossed the sea in person?" ”

"Qin Angong, this is Lee Jong-il, the prime minister of our Silla Kingdom." Wang Junlin just nodded to the prince of Jin Guofan, according to the title of the Great Sui, the father of Jin Guofan is only equivalent to the prince of the Great Sui, and the prince is at most a prince or a county duke, and with the title and prestige of Wang Junlin, he took the initiative to nod to Jin Guofan, and the latter was already very satisfied.

And after Jin Guofan took the initiative to salute Wang Junlin, he first introduced the middle-aged people around him, which shows that the two of them are actually Li Zhongyi on this trip.

Wang Junlin nodded to Li Zhong and said, "It turned out to be Lord Li." ”

Li Zhongyi also took the initiative to salute Wang Junlin and said: "The foreign minister heard that Qin Angong sent people to forcibly occupy two islands from Goguryeo, so he wanted to come over and talk about the alliance. ”

The two envoys of the Baekje Kingdom next to him suddenly changed their faces slightly, and while glaring at Li Zhongyi angrily, they also looked at Wang Junlin with a panicked expression, and found that the latter's expression was calm and did not have the slightest sense of blame, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Li and His Royal Highness the Prince came in person, but it was hard work." Wang Junlin was disappointed in this Li Zhongyi, judging from what the prime minister of Silla just said, he knew that this person had a very small pattern of doing things and his ability was very limited, on the contrary, he preferred Prince Kim Guofan.

It will be dark, Li Zhong couldn't see clearly the majestic posture of the naval warship brought by Wang Junlin, and he thought that he was the prime minister of a country, although he didn't dare to be arrogant in the face of Wang Jun, he couldn't help but be a little arrogant, and said: "Qin Angong doesn't know if there is time to come to our Silla Kingdom as a guest?" ”

Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this won't work, I'm just a courtier of His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor, without the emperor's will, but I can't go to the subject country privately." ”

"I see, it's me Meng Lang." Li Zhongyi hurriedly said.

After a pause, Lee Jong-il continued: "Qin Angong traveled thousands of miles to personally help me Silla and Baekje deal with Goguryeo, and the three ships we brought were our Xinguo Luo Naval Division warships, and they were still in shape, and we left them when we left, which was considered to be given to Qin Angong's sailors on these two islands. In addition, my Silla Kingdom will take another 10,000 taels of silver every year to give military funds to the sailors of the two islands, you think it's good......"

Wang Junlin glanced at Li Zhongyi, this person is here to be funny, and the ship is not counted, at this time it was dark, and he deliberately let the battleship hide, but the other party actually took 10,000 taels of silver a year, and said such an atmosphere, it was really stingy and ridiculous, although Wang Junlin didn't think about coveting the other party's money, but he couldn't help but secretly said: "How can there be such a stingy prime minister in Silla Kingdom." ”

Jin Guofan was very aware of Wang Junlin's prestige in Dasui, and knew that 10,000 taels of silver was not a fart in Wang Junlin's opinion, so his face was suddenly quite ugly, and he was ashamed and eager to jump from the sea, and secretly said that Li Zhongyi was too stingy.

Although they did not send silver, they had already offered to provide grain, oil, meat and other supplies for the two islands at the lowest price when they came in the afternoon, which was a very practical support for Wang Junlin, compared to Wang Junlin's supplies sent from Fanyang County, the silver saved every year was not less than 100,000 taels, which was too stingy with the 10,000 taels of silver that Li Zhongyi said.

The two envoys of Baekje stood with their hands in their hands, worried that Lee Jong-il and Kim Guohan would not see the contempt on their faces, and took the initiative to say: "We, Baekje, have promised to provide supplies such as grain, oil, meat and food for the garrisons of the two islands at the lowest price, and Qin Angong has saved 100,000 taels of silver for the Great Sui Emperor by himself, and will report the matter to His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor." ”

When Jin Guofan heard this, he was immediately even more embarrassed, and his shame was extreme, while Li Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to redeem it.

Wang Junlin's face was impassive, and he said lightly: "Master Li said so, then the prince is not polite, this ten thousand taels of silver every year will be allocated directly to Baekje Kingdom!" It's the grain, oil, meat, and other things we bought from Baekje......"

In fact, the three brigs that came with Lee Jong-il and Kim Guofan were covered with iron, and the shape of the ships was like shuttles, and they knew from a distance that they were very good fast warships. Although the shape is not as large as the smallest thousand-stone warship brought by Wang Junlin, it is larger than an ordinary loach ship, and it is actually a better warship in Silla.

Of course, Wang Junlin would not refuse it, and arranged for someone to accept it.

Only then did Wang Junlin say: "His Royal Highness the Prince and Lord Li may not know that Goguryeo Yuan Taizuo has mobilized 10,000 sailors and may attack the two islands at any time, if the two of you are worried, you should retreat immediately, otherwise there is something wrong with the two of you here, and I Dasui will not be able to say in front of your Silla king." ”

When Wang Junlin said this, Lee Jong-il and Kim Guo-han's faces changed slightly, but when they saw that the two envoys of Baekje were standing there at the foot of the mountain and had the slightest intention of leaving, how could they leave.
