At this time, the Wa Kingdom was in the so-called Asuka period in history, and when Li Hong attacked the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom had just experienced a struggle within the imperial family, and after the death of Emperor Tenchi, he passed the throne to his son, Prince Otomo, that is, Emperor Hirofumi.

However, in less than two years, his throne was seized by his uncle, the Great Sea Men (this is the name), and now, it is the Great Sea Men who is known in history as Emperor Tenmu and is the monarch of the Wa Kingdom.

Emperor Tenmu is the heir of the gods, and if he is angered, he will cause the sea god to wreak havoc, and you will drown you all in the stormy seas, storms, lightning and thunder.

Li Hong sat on Li Chunfeng's side, listening disdainfully to the envoys of the Wa State telling them that the current Wa State under the leadership of Emperor Tianmu is already a country united from top to bottom with strong military strength, and will not give in to the deterrence of the four ships of the Tang Dynasty.

"Tell them that if Emperor Tenmu is the son of the god of the sea, I will throw him into the sea and let him meet their emperor's ancestors in advance." Li Hong glared at the tongue man with one eye and said.

The tongue man looked at the young man with the one-eyed dragon, he didn't know who this person was, and after being suspicious for a while, he still translated Li Hong's original words to the envoy word by word.

"You ......." The envoys looked at each other angrily, but when they saw that there was no fear on their faces and the clouds were light, they had to suppress their anger and said in a deep voice: "Your ship was sunk by itself, not by us, so we have never seen ten thousand catties of gold and thousands of people. ”

"But we have witnesses and physical evidence, all of which prove that you salvaged our gold, and in order to monopolize the gold, you killed the people of my Datang." Li Chunfeng's complexion is getting darker and darker these days, so he doesn't look very red when he talks nonsense in the cabin where the lights are not very bright.

It's just that the tone is a little empty, but this makes the envoys of the Japanese State think that this is what the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty should look like.

The envoys of the Japanese State also understand that now the Tang Dynasty is blocking the door of the house, and it is clear that they want you to lose money, but it is just under the guise of the original shipwreck.

And when he came, when he met the emperor, he had already received the will, that is, if Datang agreed, he could immediately pay Datang silver, as long as they left and were no longer blocked at the door of the house.

These days, the fishermen are unable to go to sea, so they can only catch a few fish in the straits of the Seto Inland Sea, as if they were fishing in a basin.

But ten thousand taels? In the face of such a huge ship, I already felt it when I got on the ship, 10,000 taels of silver, I am afraid that I can't even buy a sail that seems to be able to cover the sky and the sun.

And the one-eyed dragon is even more ruthless, and it costs 10 million taels of silver to open his mouth, which ...... For the Wa Kingdom, the annual income is just enough for 10 million taels of silver, if all this is given to the Tang Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom to the emperor, and the order to fish the people, I am afraid that they will have to eat soil and drink seawater!

And this official, who is more like an official of the Tang Dynasty, is much easier to talk to, and after a few rounds of grinding his tongue, the compensation has also dropped from 10 million taels to 5 million taels, but 5 million taels is not to say that he is himself, even the emperor cannot give it.

In this way, since the emperor ascended the throne the year before last, it was impossible to build the Sainomiya that he wanted to build, so how could the emperor, who ascended the throne by killing his nephew, explain his benevolence and virtue to the people of the world?

Therefore, he couldn't make the decision about the five million taels of silver that the Tang Dynasty official had bitten, and after a night of negotiations, he still broke up unhappily in the end.

And the one-eyed dragon yawned and left before the negotiations were late at night, which is too ignorant of the rules, right?

The envoys of the Japanese Kingdom sat on the boat in front of them, envious and jealous, and looked sadly at the giant beast lying on the surface of the sea like a giant dragon and a giant whale, and slowly walked towards the strait with a complicated expression.

After waiting at sea for two days, he still didn't wait for news from Emperor Tenmu, and just when Li Hong was already impatient to wait, he finally saw the envoy who came last time.

But this time, the envoy's reply was quite tough, for the sake of the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese Dynasty, and also for the sake of the expedition of the Tang Dynasty sailor teacher, he was willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to the Tang Dynasty.

Without waiting for the envoy to finish speaking, Li Hong kicked the envoy into the sea from the high side of the ship, ripped off his blindfold and scolded: "Tell you that bullshit emperor, 100,000 taels of silver, Lao Tzu's expenses in the past few days are more than 100,000 taels of silver, and since your bullshit emperor knows that he has been friendly with my Datang Dynasty for generations, and we Datang have traveled thousands of miles, climbed mountains and waded through rivers, and came for our common friendship, do you show such sincerity?" When we are in Datang, we are your kingdom, do you still want your envoys to send Tang envoys to Datang! Get out! Tell your bullshit emperor, tomorrow Lao Tzu will lead a ship through the Seto Inland Sea, and he will not give money for a day, and Lao Tzu will not leave for a day! ”

The Seto Inland Sea is only 400 to 500 kilometers long, and the Seto Inland Sea and Shikoku Island, which are full of islands, are suitable for rice cultivation due to their salt and fishing industries, so if you look at it from atop a warship, you can see many farmland that has been cultivated as terraced fields.

With the entry of Li Hong's three giant ships into the Seto Inland Sea, the fishing industry began to shrink on a large scale in the past few days, and it is rare to see decent ships entering the sea to fish.

After entering the Seto Inland Sea from the narrowest part of the Setouchi Strait, the three giant ships continued to go north to Namba and south to Kyushu, and then continued north along the island of Shikoku.

In this way, it is equivalent to Li Hong using two huge ships, one south and one north, circling around Shikoku Island, while the other one, still crossing the entrance to the Seto Inland Sea as before, and catching up with all the ships that wanted to come down to fish.

Three giant ships sailed into the real hinterland of the Wa Kingdom, originally thought that the fishermen in Hakata and other places could finally temporarily avoid the giant ships of the Tang Dynasty to fish, but they didn't want to go to sea, but there was a dragon boat symbolized by the Tang Dynasty boat!

The dragon ship did not cruise like the other three ships, but brazenly entered the farthest port of Hakata Port, close to the mouth of the sea, like a toll booth, and watched condescendingly at every ship that wanted to enter the sea through it.

The dragon boat was built by Yang Guang of the former Sui Dynasty, when Li Shimin wanted to repair it, but was advised by Wei Zheng, and finally Li Shimin had to endure the pain of cutting love, and later Wu Mei fell in love with this ship, so he asked Li Hong to repair and widen it, so as to be suitable for offshore navigation and suitable for resisting wind and waves.

Each floor has expanded from the original 160 rooms to 200 rooms, and with it, a large number of sailors are needed to serve it, and this time Li Hong has filled the ship with grain and grass, etc., this behemoth like an unsinkable aircraft carrier is enough to stay at sea for half a year without docking for supplies.

Li Hong is now guarding this ship, and as for Suzaku, Xuanwu and Fuzhu, Li Chunfeng, Cui Zhifen, and Zhang Yi advised at the same time that on the grounds that the situation was unclear after entering the domestic sea and it was easy to encounter danger, he put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty on this supply ship, and was always ready to run along the northern route.

Within a few days in a row, Haidong Qingtian flew over the Seto Inland Sea Strait, relaying the location and information of the three giant ships, and similarly, taking away many orders from Li Hong.

But even with such strict precautions, it was still secretly escaped from the Seto Inland Sea by three Japanese warships under the noses of three giant ships.

As soon as the sky dawned, the Hakata Outer Harbor was still hazy, and lawlessly stepped on the deck and ran over with a "bang".

"Your Highness, I saw three warships of the Japanese Kingdom, which had just sailed out from the front, and this was the letter from Lord Li Chunfeng just now." Li Hong quickly pulled through the letter that he couldn't hold.

Neither Li Chunfeng, Cui Zhifen, nor Zhang Yi revealed the news that a Japanese ship was going to sea from the Seto Inland Sea.

"Ouch, it's kind of interesting, it seems that they ran out secretly, what are they trying to do when they run out? Do you want to ambush us again? Li Hong stroked his bearded chin, walked out of the room, and stood on the deck, where he could see with the naked eye that after the three Japanese warships left the Seto Inland Sea, the situation looked like they were heading in the direction of the North Route Road.

"What about Your Highness? To stop or not to stop? "Lawlessness is about to suffocate for the past two days, this dragon ship is simply too calm, compared to the Fuzhu, it is like stepping on land, not at all as full of excitement and challenge fun as the Fuzhu.

"What do you think they're going to do?" Li Hong looked at the three warships of the Japanese Kingdom, like three sneaky people, and muttered.

"Since Lord Li Chunfeng and the others didn't find out, it means that they must have something important to do, otherwise it would be impossible to choose to go to sea at this time, right?" couldn't figure out how to say two nonsense words, and then got the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Your Highness, the last general wonders, will they go to Baekje to bring rescue troops?" Wutian thought for a moment, looked at the face of the idiot, and muttered.

"Baekje? Don't be funny, Ge Hee Won and Liu Renliang led 20,000 soldiers to sit in Baekje now, and the Wa Kingdom went to Baekje to move rescue troops? Looking for death? Li Hong rolled his eyes angrily, and he couldn't guess their intentions, but no matter what, they must have a purpose when they went to sea.

"That'...... What do you mean, Your Highness? ”

"Catch up, intercept them, whatever they want to do, they can't let them succeed!" Li Hong slapped his hands, although I couldn't guess their intentions, but I could intercept them and ask.

"Yes...... Now we don't have a warship. ”

"This one under the ass is enough, such a big ship, it will knock them apart, the soldiers are fast, set off immediately!" Li Hong waved his hand, and he couldn't imagine that the first time he commanded a naval battle, he actually used a warship of the same era, and the advantage suddenly became almost like nothing.
