"It's done, those people have successfully stayed at Tanegashima's house. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xia Hongsheng raised his eyes from a note and said to Li Xiaogong with a smile: "Uncle Li, we can go back to the boat first and wait for time." ”

Li Xiaogong nodded, looked back at Kagoshima, which vaguely showed an outline, sighed, and said: "Virtuous nephew, it's really a last resort, fortunately you are Your Majesty's son-in-law, not an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise ......"

"Uncle praised it." Xia Hongsheng shook his head and smiled.

Li Xiaogong waved his hand: "This king has no false praise. A pirate leader who was cornered and rushed to the hospital in a hurry, changed his king, at most ignored his nautical chart, and then beat his pirates. This man is also a shrewd man, and this king may not be able to trap him. But in your hands, you can come up with a strategy to destroy the country, and fabricate it out of thin air to provoke the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom, and make the war reasonable and reasonable, and you can't find a flaw. Skill! Don't say goodbye, after returning to Chang'an, this king will ask that kid from Chongde to go to Jingyang Academy to follow you to study, and your academy can't accept it. ”

"Look at what my uncle said, if Chongde is really willing to come, how can the little nephew not accept it." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "Besides, this is not the ability of the little nephew, it is our Datang that is strong." In the exchanges between countries, weak countries have no diplomacy, and power is the truth! ”

"A weak country has no diplomacy, and power is truth. Hahahaha, that's right! Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "However, Datang can be as strong as it is today, and it is inseparable from the virtuous nephew." If nothing else, let's take the nearest ones, the rice seeds on this Ryukyu Island, the ironclad ships in the sailors, the new warships, the gasoline, hot air balloons, and firearms on board...... Isn't that the work of a virtuous nephew? From the beginning of the salt-making method to today's firearms and ironclad ships, all kinds of new objects, new skills, and new ideas of the virtuous nephew have led to changes in the Tang Dynasty and the people from all aspects. The eyes of this king can also be understood, the Tang Dynasty can have today, and the virtuous nephew can be described as the teacher of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Oh, my uncle said that, and my nephew didn't know what to say. Shame, shame! Xia Hongsheng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty gave the little nephew a letter that others did not have, the so-called scholar is a confidant who dies, Your Majesty treats me as a national soldier, and I also repay the Tang Dynasty as a national soldier." And as a Tang person, the little nephew knows that his vital interests are closely related to the strength of the Tang Dynasty. Country, country, country has home. It is also natural to make a contribution to Datang. By the way, uncle, I don't know where the Chinese army of the Navy Division is now? ”

Li Xiaogong thought for a moment and replied, "In just ten days, the main force of the Chinese army of the Tang Navy Division can reach Kagoshima." It's just that there is a problem in the middle. ”

"Oh? What's the problem? Xia Hongsheng asked.

Li Xiaogong sighed and said, "Although Champong rice has been harvested in Ryukyu for four seasons, planting in Ryukyu for one year is more than planting in the side for four years to harvest grain, so there is a lot of grain hoarded in Ryukyu. It's just that it is not an easy thing to ship with the ship. Grain ships are the most vulnerable to fire attacks, and the sea is different from land, once something happens to the grain ship, then it can only withdraw immediately, otherwise it can only be trapped and starved to death, and there is no other way to meet the food of so many soldiers at the same time. The grain ships were heavy and slow, and it took a month to transport them from the Ryukyus. At the earliest, it will take about 20 days, and the grain brought by the Chinese army can only last for more than 10 days at most. ”

Hearing that Li Xiaogong was worried, Xia Hongsheng shook his head and smiled: "Uncle don't worry, let's not go over so quickly." I have to leave some time for His Majesty to know that the life and death of the two of us in the Japanese country are unknown, and then the Son of Heaven is angry and sends an edict to attack the Japanese! You can wait for the grain ship to come. ”

"The soldiers are fast. If you wait another month, the Wa Kingdom has already arranged its defense, which is not good for the water division. Li Xiaogong shook his head and said, "If I am the lord of the Japanese country, I will definitely be looking for you and me at this moment, and at the same time dispatch troops to guard the country." If we wait another month, the Wa Guo will be in order, and the sailor will lose the opportunity, but the Wa Guo will have calmed down and wait for work. ”

"Uncle Li is worried." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "However, in fact, we have another way to solve the problem that the supply of grain and grass cannot keep up." ”

"Oh? What else can be done? Li Xiaogong asked.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said slowly to Li Xiaogong: "Uncle, it is difficult to forget, there is a cloud in "The Art of War": because of the food to the enemy!" ”

Li Xiaogong was naturally familiar with the book of soldiers, and his eyes were condensed at this moment, and he immediately recited: "Where the method of war is used, thousands of cars are galloped, thousands of leather cars are taken, 100,000 armor is carried out, and food is fed for thousands of miles." Then the cost of inside and outside, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then the division of 100,000 yuan...... Those who make good use of the soldiers, no longer serve in the country, and the food is not used for three years, because the food is in the enemy, so the military food can be sufficient. The poverty of the country is far from the teacher, and the people are poor if they are far away; Those who are close to the teacher are expensive, and if they are expensive, the people will be exhausted, and if the wealth is exhausted, they will be anxious to serve. The Central Plains and the inner void are at home, and the people's expenses are seven out of ten; Public expenses, broken armies and horses, armor and arrows, arrows, halberds, shields, spears, and carts, six out of ten. Therefore, the wise will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty minutes; □ pole is one stone, and I am twenty stones. Therefore, those who kill the enemy are angry; Those who take advantage of the enemy are also goods. The car battle gets more than ten cars, and the first winner is rewarded and the flag is more. The car is miscellaneous and multiplied, and the good is raised, which is said to defeat the enemy and become stronger! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and continued: "Therefore, the soldiers are expensive, not long. Uncle, now that the Tang Dynasty Navy Division is much stronger than the Wa Kingdom, it is time to go all out and seek a quick victory, and abandon the protracted war. If the enemy is strong and we are weak, we must fight for a long time, and if the enemy is weak and we are strong, we must win quickly. Nowadays, the combat strength of the Japanese army is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, the number of soldiers is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, the weapons and armament are not as good as the Tang Dynasty, the tactics and strategies are not as good as the Tang Dynasty, the morale and fighting spirit are not as good as the Tang Dynasty, the people are not as good as the Tang Dynasty, the rear army support is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, and the financial and material resources to support the war are not as good as the Tang Dynasty...... In all aspects, all are inferior to Datang. This is obviously the strength of the enemy. Therefore, no matter whether the Wa Kingdom is prepared or not, fighting in front of the Tang Dynasty is just a local chicken and a dog. Uncle waited a month longer and then went, and the result was actually the same. ”

"How is it the same way?" Li Xiaogong suddenly laughed, obviously knowing it in his heart.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "Use more gasoline and firearms." Destroy the Japanese sailors with gasoline, and blow up the gate of the Japanese with firearms. The sailors landed on the island and seized Osumi with the advantage of firearms. The grain and grass in Dayu City are enough to feed the Tang soldiers for a few months! (To be continued.) )
