Body 581 Return to China
The sea man looked strangely at the Dalai princess bargaining with the Tang prince on the deck, and the tongue man next to him quickly translated for him, the words between the Dalai princess and the Tang prince.
When he heard that his favorite daughter actually scolded the Tang prince to die, he had a sharp mind, but from these words, he felt a trace of unusual meaning.
And the courtiers on both sides were so frightened that their jaws almost fell to the ground when they heard that the princess of Dalai was rightly scolding His Royal Highness the Tang Prince.
But trying to look around, I saw that the figure didn't seem to be angry, nor angry, but through the tongue, I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Datang shouting: "Within three years, if you can't pay off the money you owe me Datang, then the next time I come to visit you in a friendly manner, it won't be these warships, and I will give you more surprises." ”
"Three years is three years, and it's not too late to accompany the capital and the palace to discuss it slowly." The forty-year-old sea man, this age should have been when he was high-spirited and hardworking, but because His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty personally led his troops to conquer the Japanese Kingdom, he had to choose to endure the grand cause he wanted to create.
"But fortunately, they promised that we could continue to send Tang envoys, which is also a good thing." He said with a bitter smile.
Although the fact that he was able to continue to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty was not at all comparable to the 23 million taels of silver paid for the reparations for the cession of land, from the worst point of view, it could be regarded as a little comfort to His Majesty the Emperor.
"It's up to you to choose, we must send our smartest students to Datang, so that they must work hard and learn all the good things in Datang!" A neat row of tooth marks appeared on the lips of the sea man, and there was even a trace of blood.
"Father......." The princess looked at the sea man with a sad expression, and naturally felt uncomfortable, and she didn't know how to tell the sea man her request.
Originally, his father had high hopes for himself, hoping to build a palace to quell the unfavorable remarks about his father in China, but now because of the huge compensation of the Tang Dynasty, this palace is afraid that it will not take a few years to rebuild.
"What do you want to say?" The people of the sea looked at the princess of Dalai lovingly, and tried to squeeze out a smile on their faces.
This daughter who was appointed by him as the first king of Zhai, this daughter who was attached to God and came down for God, is the key to quelling the unfavorable remarks for herself, and I think there should be other ways to quell the gossip in the country for herself.
"I ...... I....... The princess of Dalai swallowed and vomited for a long time, and just when the people in the sea were about to urge in a hurry, the princess of Dalai whispered: "Father, the sons want to go to the Tang Dynasty to study, learn their warships, architecture, culture and other everything, and the sons want to learn a lot in a few years to help the emperor get through all these difficulties." ”
"Will he say yes?" The sea man looked at the Tang prince on the deck in the distance, and said worriedly.
"I don't know, maybe if I ask him, he'll agree."
The sea man nodded thoughtfully, for today's plan, this is the only way, the princess herself has high expectations for her, if she can learn more things from Datang and come back, it will be a big help for herself!
Cui Zhibian became the first Tang military general of the Tang Dynasty Navy Division garrison, and under Li Hong's deliberate request, the sea people had no choice but to be on the beach, and immediately announced Cui Zhibian as the marshal of the Japanese Navy Division.
As for why he is a marshal, Li Hong explained, this sounds very domineering, and it is more in line with the demeanor of a great power of your country.
As a result, the three warships were left in the three ports of the Wa Kingdom, and in the next month, more Tang soldiers will be stationed to guard the sea fishermen of the Wa Kingdom and the coastline of the Wa Kingdom.
The princess didn't bring anything, not even the palace maid that the sea people had prepared for her temporarily, and she couldn't go down on the husband alone, so she had to go to Datang with her.
In desperation, someone had no choice but to wave his hand irritably, agreeing to the request of the princess to go to Datang, but the annual cost of food and lodging rose from 10,000 to 50,000 taels of silver.
This made the little face of the princess who was still excited just now collapsed suddenly, and she couldn't wait to pounce on Li Hong and bite Li Hong a few times.
"Why did you grant me a request for three years? Even if you don't agree, there's nothing we can do. The princess looked at Li Hong teasing Hai Dongqing on the deck, sat next to her and asked.
"It's not that I underestimate you, just the strength of your Japanese country, let you give me more than 20 million taels of silver a year, I'm afraid even your father will have to eat soil, let alone ......."
The princess raised her pink fist, and when she heard that he was once again entertaining her father and emperor, and was about to seek justice, after hearing the word "what's more", she had to put her fist down, wanting to test how much Li Hong knew about the Wa Kingdom, so she asked curiously: "What's more?" ”
"What's more, most of your Wa Kingdom is still in the situation of bartering, and the circulation of coins is only a few areas centered on your Kyoto, plus the support of wealthy merchants, otherwise, are you different from the primitive savages?" Li Hong glanced sideways at the Dalai princess who was stunned there, and said disdainfully.
"What happened more than a thousand years ago, you said that you ...... a matter."
"Oh, what I dreamed about the other day was just a change of place, just like today, that's what I want to say." A smile tugged at the corner of Li Hong's mouth, and he stroked Hai Dongqing's head and said.
"So how do you know we're rich? Also, why did you promise three years, you must have a good intention, you have always been cunning ....... ”
"More than 20 million taels of silver, that's not a decimal, if you give it to me all at once, what else can I do except put it in the treasury? Put it on the market all at once? It will only make the prices in Chang'an and Luoyang unstable, and bring some turmoil to my Datang's business, so ah, three years is enough for me to spend the money silently. Li Hong scratched his head, stood up with the emaciated shoulders of the princess, and said lazily: "If you still want to continue to watch the sunset, then you can continue to watch, I am asleep, I am really tired during this time, attacking a small Japanese country of yours, and even causing so much damage to our warship." ”
Li Hong looked at Zhang Yi and Li Chunfeng standing in front of the mast sail that was discounted by the wind and waves, and was at a loss, obviously this mast sail would not be repaired for a while and a half, which made Li Chunfeng want to return to Quanzhou and immediately carry out his plan for a great voyage, so he had to postpone it for a few days.
"You are our sinner! We will never forget the pain you have caused to our country, and one day, I will make you pay the same price! The princess also got up and looked at the lazy back and hummed.
"You know what? Because of your words, I will consider whether to destroy you in the country, so as not to have endless troubles in the future! By the way, also, I know that your purpose of wanting to go to my Datang is not to steal ....... ”
"That's not stealing from school, I'm an upright envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and I paid the tuition!" As soon as the princess remembered that others had 10,000 taels and her tuition fee of 50,000 taels, she wanted to kill people angrily.
Clenching her fists tightly, looking at the Tang prince who was turning her head and looking at her lazily, the princess walked up to Li Hong, and her towering breasts were about to hit Li Hong's chest, so she stopped.
He looked at Li Hong without showing weakness, and said through gritted teeth: "I will definitely be able to think of a way to let our country continue, and I will never give you a chance to destroy us!" If you don't believe us, we'll see! ”
"Okay, backbone! Then I will also tell you that my goal in my life is to remove the Wa Kingdom from this world and make it the land and territory of my Datang! If you don't believe us, we'll see! Li Hong looked down at the eyes full of unwillingness and determination, and said with the same straight color.
Although the waters of the South China Sea have always been known for their harsh sea conditions, after the last voyage, coupled with the detailed records of Li Chunfeng, a caring person, including him and other students, under Li Hong's point, carefully drew the chart, making this return trip a lot easier than when he came.
Many beautiful islands are still untouched, and every time he docks at an uninhabited island at night, Li Hong will be like a fish that has been out of the sea for a long time, and before the battleship has landed, he will plunge into the sea.
Every now and then, the princess of Dalai will appear on the deck where Li Hong had just dived after Li Hong jumped into the sea, and then looked at Li Hong who emerged from the water, and said: "If you practice again, your water nature will not be as good as mine, don't forget that our tribe has lived on the sea for generations, and the sea is the same as on land for us." ”
"Yezi, don't talk too much, do you dare to say that my water is not as good as before?" Li Hong said with his feet on the water and his bare upper body.
The original scars on the body, after this period of wind and sun, because the skin is too dark, are not as scary as before.
The princess has been accustomed to Li Hong's name changed to her these days, and even the other people on the boat were bewitched by him, and when they called themselves, they could only call Miss Asami.
Therefore, when the princess heard Li Hong call her a wild son, she was not as angry as before, and smiled contemptuously: "Your water nature will not grow, because you are too stupid." ”
"Then you come down, let's compare!" Li Hong shouted in the water.
At this time, the speed of the battleship was getting slower and slower because of the docking, so Li Hong could easily keep up with its speed in the water.
"Don't think!" The princess of Dalai blushed unconsciously, and remembered that when she was caught by Li Hong for the first time, this shameless person offended herself.
But no matter how much she hates Li Hong from the bottom of her heart, she still admires one thing, this person is a prince, but because he is not as good as herself, she has been humbly asking for advice from herself in the past few days, and she does not have the shelf of His Royal Highness the Prince.
