Chapter 716: Fourth Uncle Has a Dream
"Huh?" Li Sitang didn't expect Li Yuanba to come to such a hand without a tail, his little face was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned and said, "Dream? Fourth uncle, does this have anything to do with your late wake-up? ”
"Of course there is!" Li Yuanba nodded and said, "And that has a big stake!" ”
"Then I can't guess!" Li Sitang shook his head with some distress and said, "Fourth uncle, just tell me directly, right?" ”
"Okay, but you have to promise the fourth uncle, but you must not tell others!" Li Yuanba nodded at the tip of Li Sitang's small nose and said mysteriously.
Li Sitang nodded heavily with an expectant look on his face, and said, "Fourth uncle, don't worry, I will not tell anyone else!" ”
Hey, this time it really hooked the little girl's curiosity!
"Listen up!" Li Yuanba cleared his throat and said, "Your fourth uncle's dream in my life is to sleep until you wake up naturally, count the gold and silver until your hands cramp!" ”
"Huh?" Li Sitang opened his small mouth wide in surprise, and his ruddy little tongue almost spit out of his mouth.
This time, Li Sitang was completely stunned, thinking that his fourth uncle was talking so mysteriously, it must be an amazingly big dream!
But who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Martial King of the Tang Dynasty would have such a hopeless dream!
What a shame!
"Hehe, isn't it shocking?" Li Yuanba looked at Li Sitang with some amusement and said, "At present, this second dream, your fourth uncle and I have come true, but the first dream...... After so many years, there has been no shadow! ”
"But Fourth Uncle ......" Li Sitang bit his lower lip lightly and said, "I remember that my father said that you have been asleep for more than ten years, and you have been sleeping for more than ten years, and you have been sleeping longer than Sitang!" ”
"Hey, how can that compare to now?" Li Yuanba waved his hand and said, "For more than ten years, I didn't have the slightest consciousness. Mentally, I have rested enough, but my body is very tired...... Alas, forget it, what am I talking to you little girl about this? ”
Li Yuanba originally wanted to explain to Li Sitang, but when he thought that these were too difficult for a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl to understand, he decisively changed the topic: "What about your father?" What did he send you here to do early in the morning? ”
"Hehe, my father asked Si Tang to come over and tell you to get up and go to dinner!" Li Sitang is very simple, and he was really turned on another topic by Li Yuanba," his father said. After waiting for breakfast, we will take you on a good walk around Okinawa! ”
"This feeling is good!" Li Yuanba's eyes lit up and said: "After entering Okinawa yesterday, I felt that life on this island seemed to be very rich, and today I want to take a good look!" ”
"Then let's go, fourth uncle, my father is in a hurry!" Li Sitang nodded, and walked out of the courtyard in a hurry.
……
In order to be able to turn around Okinawa as soon as possible, Li Yuanba hurriedly pulled two mouthfuls of rice. didn't even have time to wipe his mouth, so he pulled Li Jiancheng and walked outside the mansion.
Speaking of which, the power of Li Jiancheng on the island of Okinawa is really not small, and the number of local residents on the island is more than 50,000. Among them, there are more than 7,000 troops that can be mobilized.
Although these more than 7,000 people are much worse than those of Datang, as such a big island, it is not easy to have 7,000 garrisons!
Of course. These 7,000 people can only be used for a short time, and only more than 2,000 people are stationed in the army as a standing force.
More than 2,000 people are in the hands of Li Jiancheng. And the leader of these two thousand people is also one of Li Jiancheng's henchmen, named Li Fazhong.
Li Fazhong is also the old man in his prince's mansion, before the Xuanwumen Incident, when Li Shimin noticed that something was wrong, with Li Weiyong's secret help, he led hundreds of henchmen in his mansion, as well as countless secret spies and dead soldiers who had been trained, sneaked out of Chang'an City and went to the Persian Empire.
Among these henchmen, there is him Li Fazhong!
And there is another point to mention, that is, this Li Fazhong is also from a wealthy family, he is the branch of the Li family of Zhaojun, and the sister-in-law of the Li family of Lushan.
Although compared with the Longxi Li clan, the Zhaojun Li clan is much worse, not to mention his branch Lushan Li clan.
However, in order to help the Li clan in Longxi seize the world, the Lushan Li clan can almost be said to have exhausted the military and financial resources, after Li Yuan ascended the throne and became the emperor, Li Yuan was grateful for the loyalty of the Lushan Li clan, and Li Kang, the patriarch of the Lushan Li clan at that time, was named the king of Lushan County, and the fief Lushan County, and the title was hereditary.
Back then, when Li Jiancheng was desperate, he even hid in Lushan for a period of time, and it was precisely for this reason that Li Fazhong could be said to be Li Jiancheng's henchman and won Li Jiancheng's trust.
Li Jiancheng has two hands, one hand is in charge of the army and the other is in charge of the government.
If there is a person in charge of the army, the one in charge of the government will naturally not be able to run.
Under Li Jiancheng's subordinates, the person in charge of managing political affairs is a person named Zhao Jinmin, don't look at his name is a little ordinary, but about political affairs such as diplomacy and the livelihood of the people on the island, Zhao Jinmin is helping him deal with it, and he has never made any mistakes, so he can be said to be a good hand in managing political affairs.
Of course, the people you manage the army come from a prominent background, and the same is true for those who can't manage politics, right?
can only say that he Li Jiancheng is lucky, compared to Li Fazhong, this Zhao Jinmin is also a famous family.
Zhao Jinmin's father's name was Zhao Han, and during Li Yuan's reign, he was sent as an envoy to the Ryukyu Islands, and he had a close relationship with the imperial family on the islands at that time.
It is precisely for this reason that the Ryukyu Islands were chosen as the second base.
Whether it is Li Fazhong or Zhao Jinmin, both of them are Li Jiancheng's henchmen, long before, Li Jiancheng had already told them about handing over his power to Li Yuanba, they all admired Li Yuanba's loyalty, and his outstanding ability to lead troops to fight, so when they saw Li Yuanba, they all behaved very respectfully, and expressed their willingness to accept Li Yuanba's orders.
But before Li Yuanba could feel happy, something suddenly happened on the island...... And this news was also unexpected by Li Jiancheng.
……
Half an hour ago, Li Jiancheng was accompanying Li Yuanba to inspect the military camp on the island, when a small soldier in armor hurriedly ran over and bowed to Li Fazhong:
"Report to the general, the warships of Amami Island are only five kilometers away from our Okinawa Island! Seeing that the direction they are going to land in should be Guangyang City, General Yang, who is in charge of defending the city in Guangyang City, has sent a special herald scout to come and report!
