Chapter 820: The New Father of the Wa Kingdom
Zhang Nan held his forehead, Cheng bit Jin's big mouth, it was like picking off Li Jing's face and pressing it to the ground, and then rubbed it hard, although Li Jing is not such a stingy person.
But Cheng Biting Jin made such a move, which basically announced the bet between the two of them in the entire officialdom. And Li Jing also lost very badly, fortunately, Li Jing is now a beggar, and he doesn't have to come to the court every day, otherwise Li Jing would have to take a few days of sick leave.
"But I'm curious, Qingquan, how did you win the pharmacist? I know you don't know anything about the use of soldiers. Li Er looked at Zhang Nan curiously and asked.
Although Zhang Nan is not much different from the all-round talent in Comrade Li Er's mind, Zhang Nan does not command the army, but Li Er knows it.
"Your Majesty, you are too underestimated by the minister, this minister can't command thousands of troops and horses, and can't command eleven people? Besides, this football is just very similar to Keju, but it is not Keju, the minister has been playing this thing since he was a child, and he naturally understands more, so there is no need for General Li Jing to lose to the minister and hold on to it. Zhang Nan replied.
"You're a man." Li Er didn't say anything when he heard Zhang Nan say this.
"Okay, let's get down to business, it seems that the Wa Kingdom has not been a little calm recently." Comrade Li Er spoke.
"Wa Kingdom?" Hearing Li Er say this, Zhang Nan also scratched his head strangely, Zhang Nan hadn't heard this name for a long time, if it wasn't for Comrade Li Er's mention, Zhang Nan almost thought that the Wa Kingdom had been played to death by the Tang Dynasty.
"That's right, it's the Wa Kingdom, since we cleared out all the envoys they sent to the Tang Dynasty, and after restricting them from coming to Datang, they have been jumping, hoping to come to Datang to study." Li Er opened his mouth and said.
"Your Majesty, isn't this normal? Isn't it normal that the Japanese country has a small territory, few products, and a small population, and they want to rely on my Datang to learn the advanced things of my Datang? "The eldest grandson Wuji is also very strange.
"Yes, that's right, I think so too, but in the past three months, the people of the Wa Kingdom have not sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and there is not even any news at all, originally the merchants of the Wa Kingdom are still in contact with some of our merchants in the Tang Dynasty, and I have always turned a blind eye to this matter, after all, I still need to grasp the movements of the Wa people. But in the last three months, the Japanese people have actually driven all our merchants from the Tang Dynasty out of the Japanese Kingdom, and the Tang Dynasty is not allowed to do business with them. When Li Er said this, he was also a little angry.
Since ancient times, of course, only the powerful countries have been able to make decisions, and even small countries have been able to limit the actions of large countries.
"Their heads twitched? The only chance to get in touch with our Datang has to be given up? Zhang Nan was surprised, this is obviously not the character of the Japanese people. It stands to reason that the Japanese people are definitely the kind of people who will not give up until they achieve their goals.
Especially at the national level, even if it is shameless, as long as it is beneficial to the country, they can do it, and now it is good, what is this? Is it a way out?
"According to the merchants who returned from the Wa Kingdom, where did they hear the Silla dialect." When Li Er said this, his face was also a little displeased.
"Your Majesty, do you think it's Silla and the Japanese people who got together? Trying to disadvantage my Datang? Fang Xuanling asked.
"I don't think Silla has the courage to do this, after all, Silla and Datang can be said to have fought the enemy together, and it shouldn't be." It's not for nothing that Li Er said this, after all, the empress of Silla is still in Comrade Li Er's harem.
"The minister also thinks it's unlikely, after all, Silla doesn't have the guts, although the current Silla is said to be a country, but in the minister's opinion, it won't be long before Silla will peacefully transition into one of the state capitals of my Tang Dynasty." Zhang Nan also pinched his chin and said.
"That's what I thought, too." Li Er nodded and said.
"Your Majesty, do you think this is possible? That is, Baekje and Goguryeo secretly contacted the Wa Kingdom, taught the two countries what they learned from our Tang Dynasty to the Wa Kingdom, and then borrowed the advantages of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom and our rejection of him, quietly recuperated, and planned to make a comeback? Zhang Nan suddenly thought of a possibility.
"You don't have a point." When Li Er heard Zhang Nan say this, he suddenly thought that there was a possibility that Zhang Nan said.
After all, the surrounding area of the Tang Dynasty has been too peaceful recently, and the peace is simply a bit excessive, not only that there are no enemies to intrude at the border passes, but even the Tibetans and Turks have frequently shown favor to the Tang Dynasty, and there is no appearance of blowing up thorns at all, and the Goguryeo people have been driven out of their homeland, as for where to go, it is not Comrade Li Er's concern.
Now that I think about it, it is not impossible for them to hide in the Wa Kingdom together with Baekje.
After all, Datang is too powerful, and they basically have no possibility of competition.
And the Wa Kingdom was very much in need of technology superior to theirs, and the Goguryeo and Baekje people who fled to the Wa Kingdom helped them very well, so it is said that the Wa Kingdom should have found a new father that they thought was very satisfactory before giving up the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, they also know how powerful Datang is, so they can only drive people out of the country like Datang, but they don't dare to kill people. Otherwise, according to the character of the Japanese people, they were restricted by the Tang Dynasty, and now they finally have the opportunity to get rid of the restrictions, and they will definitely use that group of merchants to sacrifice the flag.
"If that's the case, the emperor doesn't have to worry too much, Goguryeo and Baekje can't make any waves, and if they want to come to fight us, I'm afraid they have to build more ships first. As for their little wooden boats, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get close to them before we can sink them. Zhang Nan said with a smile.
As soon as Zhang Nan said this, the courtiers also laughed.
Li Er also nodded at Zhang Nan with a smile, and then said, "Qingquan, what are you talking about, how do you want me to say it?" ”
In fact, Comrade Li Er and Zhang Nan thought about the same, after all, Comrade Li Er was still very satisfied with the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that Baekje, Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom were mixed together, even now the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty are at war against the Tang Dynasty at the same time, and Comrade Li Er is not false at all.
After all, the cement roads of Datang can be said to extend in all directions, and once the war starts, the steam cars can transport materials to where they want to go in the shortest time. Moreover, Datang has been in good weather in recent years, even if it is potatoes or something, it is still breeding with all its might, and the food is enough to eat.
So Comrade Li Er was not afraid at all, and even had some faint expectations in his heart, after all, he had nothing to do for a long time, and now Li Chengqian helped him deal with the small things in the court, but there were no major things, and Li Er could be said to be idle and had lice.
