Section 0955 Homecoming
During Konoe Tadahito's banquet, Soga Meiko came as the queen of Fuso, and although she only drank a glass of wine, it represented her support for Konoe Tadahito.
Konoe Tadahito greeted him with a courtier, toasted, accepted the offer, and then sent it off.
Konoe Tadahito knows better than anyone that behind Su I Yazi is Liu Mu, Liu Mu is the top Tang Dynasty nobleman for him Konoe Tadahito, and Liu Mu's family power is much higher than his aristocratic level.
is his quasi-father-in-law, Niu Jinda, who is just a general in the forces of Liu Mu's eldest brother-in-law, Qin Qiong.
Soga Meiko enjoyed Konoe's respect.
But after leaving Konoe Tadahito's new mansion, Su Iya felt a faint sadness in her heart, she felt that she was just a vase on the willow desk, nothing more.
Compared with Konoe Tadahito's return to his hometown that countless people expected, Woodwallly's return to his hometown really shocked countless people.
There was no kingdom in Woodwally's homeland at this time, and there was no one who could really be considered a great nobleman.
Woodwardly's homeland is now home to three different powers, the Vikings to the north near the sea and some islands. Coming from Ireland also belonged to the Celts, known as the Scottish Clansmen.
Finally, there were Woodwallly's kindred, who were also Celts and were once called Pitts by the Romans.
It was the Pitts who blocked the northward advance of the Romans, and eventually the Western Romans were destroyed, and the Roman army did not capture the homes of the Pitts, but built defensive walls to resist the Pitts moving south.
What Woodwarley never expected was that he was sold as a gift by the Pitt nobles as the leader of the rebels, and became an important gift for the nobles to befriend the Visigothic king.
At that time, the Visigothic kings controlled the southern part of the island of Brillex Anglian nobility, the Angles of England after the 10th century.
But everything doesn't matter anymore, and now I'm back.
Not only did he bring his subordinates who were turned into gladiators as gifts back then, but he also brought ten full-sail 700-material super-high-speed warships and sophisticated ordnance.
This kind of full sail is a little worse than the full sail, less than a lot of auxiliary sails, is Datang for export of offshore ships, the control is simpler than the full sail type, the speed is not bad in the downwind, but the speed of the ship is very sad when the wind is upwind.
"It's almost time for the Duke of Edin's sphere of influence, should we hang up the battle flag?"
It's been two days, and after the fleet saw the island of Britops, the captain has been eager to ask Woodwally what to do next.
Woodwally stood at the bow of the ship and thought for a long time, and then said to the captain, "Go to Edinburgh." ”
After signaling all the ships with the flag, the captain determined the direction of the fleet and came to Woodwally's side: "In those days, it was the nobles led by the Duke of Edin who gave us as gifts to the Visigoths, and then the Visigothic nobles sold us to the Roman gladiatorial arena. ”
"I remember." Woodwally replied in a low voice.
The captain continued: "Edin Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, except for the main force of the Tang Army coming over and is sure to be able to take it, it is difficult to take it by us at the moment, I have always wanted to ask you, why did you not accept the help of His Royal Highness King Yan."
Li Daozong asked before Woodwally was about to go home, if he needed to go home to take revenge, he Woodwally had Datang behind him, as a general who had made meritorious contributions to Datang, no matter what nationality he came from, Woodwally's dignity was the dignity of Datang.
But Woodwally refused, and after accepting many gifts from Lee Daozong, he set out on the road home.
Woodwally said calmly: "I know, I have seen the ordnance and firearms used by the main force of the Tang Army, and I have also seen the truly terrifying terrible ordnance that shot a three-pound iron ball far away and smashed the ship into pieces. However, we are not here to fight this time, we are ......"
Woodwardly didn't say anything, just looked into the distance.
It was a long time before Woodwally spat two words out of his mouth: Go home!
Go home!
The term is quite foreign to many people, perhaps their families have erected tombstones for them, and their friends have seen them as dead.
Whether it was a betrayed warrior like Woodwally, or a prisoner of war captured on the battlefield, or someone snatched from a village as a trophy, it seemed that to leave was to disappear forever.
Half a day later, in the middle of the Bay of Forth.
Many of the crew and Woodwally's warriors came out of the cabin and stood on deck, looking at the Duke of Edin's castle built on the hill from afar.
They had been captured as soldiers and turned into slaves, and what happened to Woodwally and their determination to do everything possible to save their comrades brought them together around Woodwally.
At this time, everyone was thinking about how to break through this fortified castle of Edin, which was surrounded by cliffs on three sides and steep slopes on one side. When could this castle be renamed Duke Warley's Castle, or Pitt Castle.
There were also many people standing on Edin's castle, and he had no idea who had brought the fleet.
It feels very powerful to have such a huge ship with so many sails.
The warriors on the deck, fully armed and dressed in full-body armor made of steel, gave one an invincible fear.
"Go home!" Woodwally shouted, the flagship was full, the sailors shouted to climb the mast, and one ship after another sped up with full sails and scurried towards the deepest part of the bay.
At the castle, the Duke of Edin yelled, "Who are they? ”
No one can answer this question, such armor, such ships, let alone the Visigothic kingdom, even when the Roman Empire was at its strongest, no one used steel to make armor.
Woodwardly's fleet docked, and there was no suitable dock to transfer people to shore in small boats.
There were no horses, and Woodwally and the others took turns pulling the cart.
All the people on board were divided into three groups, taking turns guarding the ship and taking turns going home.
After a day's walking, you can see the smoke from the cooking, the black and gray low wooden houses, the grass huts, and the hollowed-out earth slopes.
About a hundred paces or so in front of the village, Woodwally fell to his knees and clutched a handful of dirt in his hands.
The women of the village began to carry the little food on their backs and the old and weak from the other side to prepare for retreat, while the men began to gather with sticks, forks, and axes.
Whoever it is, the Pitt's Indigo Raiders will definitely not give in.
Woodwally, who was kneeling on the ground, buried his face in the handful of dirt, smelling the smell of the dirt greedily, for thirteen years, he didn't think that he would be able to come back, and he didn't expect that he could come back like this.
