Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

The envoys sent by Japan were mainly Nakagami Nagami Fujiwara.

Zhongnayan is a lingwaiguan set up among the Taizheng officials, who is equivalent to the second-in-command of the fourth-grade official among the Taizheng officials.

After Fujiwara Nagami saw Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo, he said in relatively fluent Chinese: "Things between the two major countries must be discussed, so why send troops to fight?"

Zhao Liangsi was very grateful to Jiang Hongfei for rehabilitating him, and praised his strategy of joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun.

To be honest, Zhao Liangsi always felt that there was no problem with his strategy of joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. The problem was the Zhao and Song dynasties, which were obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the Liao Kingdom was defeated steadily. The Kingdom of Jin was an ally, but as a result, the Zhao and Song dynasties had their own problems, and Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Gou made unintelligent moves, which led to the demise of the Zhao and Song dynasties. What does this have to do with his strategy?

Now, Jiang Hongfei has set the tone, so that Zhao Liangsi's political pursuit, which he has worked hard for for half his life, is not in vain, and he does not need to be nailed to the shame rack of history.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Hongfei was very benevolent to Zhao Liangsi.

In order to repay Jiang Hongfei's great kindness, Zhao Liangsi behaved very toughly when facing Fujiwara Nagami. He said: "The troops and horses have already risen, and we are even more discussing."

Ma Kuo did not have Zhao Liangsi's mentality. He just wanted to complete the tasks assigned to him by Jiang Hongfei and then lead the army.

——Ma Kuo, who was born in the Western Army, did not want to be a "diplomat" at all. He wanted to be a general, although he himself was indeed the best "diplomat" of this era.

Ma Kuo said with a white face: "If we are in a hurry, we can discuss it, but we just need to make some calculations."

Fujiwara Nagami asked: "How to calculate?"

Ma Kuo said: "Your country ceded Kyushu, Shikoku, China and its affiliated islands to my Dayuan, and compensated my Dayuan 200 million yuan in spiritual coins. Your country opened all coastal areas as commercial ports, and allowed my Dayuan to operate in your country. Invest in and set up factories in the treaty ports.”

That's right.

The conditions proposed by Ma Kuo were a replica of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and Jiang Hongfei wanted to return this treaty to Japan.

Fujiwara Nagami certainly didn’t know about the Treaty of Shimonoseki, but he had already keenly guessed why the Yuan Empire wanted to attack Japan from the conditions proposed by Shimonoseki.

Speaking of which, this is purely what the Japanese authorities asked for.

Japan has been closing itself off over the years.

A series of relevant orders were issued:

Sea crossing system - Japanese officials and nationals are strictly prohibited from going to sea, and are not allowed to have any interaction with the mainland dynasty.

Prohibition order - it is strictly forbidden for ministers to buy goods from the mainland dynasty without government pricing.

Age determination - Strictly limit the number of times businessmen from mainland dynasties can go to Japan (only once a year).

These bans seriously affected the Yuan Empire's trade with Japan, and also deprived the Yuan Empire of a way to make a lot of money.

Of course, these bans not only banned the Yuan Empire, but also banned the Song, Liao, Jin and other countries - in fact, Japan had begun to implement these bans on the mainland regime since the Anshi Rebellion.

But if you really want to close the country and treat everyone equally, then that's it.

After all, everyone is the same, and the Yuan Empire is not one to make trouble unreasonably.

Just complain if you can, the Japanese authorities are doing things like this.

Specifically, while Japan blocked trade with the mainland dynasties, it also traded freely with the Goryeo dynasty that was destroyed by Jiang Hongfei. The key is that Japan and Goryeo and other countries still maintain active official exchanges.

I think back then, before the Yuan Empire destroyed the Goryeo Dynasty, most of the products of the Dayuan Empire had to be peeled off by the Goryeo Dynasty before they could be sold to Japan by the Koryo people. The merchants of the Dayuan Empire took huge risks. , but most of the profits were taken away by the Goryeo Dynasty.

This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that this will inevitably make people in the Yuan Empire worry that the Goryeo Dynasty and Japan will join forces to attack the Yuan Empire.

This is not a random idea.

You know, Japan did something similar during the Tang Dynasty.

In this case, the Dai Yuan Empire simply attacked Japan in the name of revenge for Tamamo Mae.

The above are all speculations of Fujiwara Nagami.

It has to be said that Fujiwara Nagami's speculation cannot be said to be completely unreasonable.

War is waged in the hope of great gain, not to settle childish grudges or avenge someone.

Fujiwara Nagami hurriedly said: "There are many things that are easy to talk about between the two dynasties, but now they are raising troops without even saying hello. What is the reason?"

Zhao Liangsi said: "Your court has already refused to communicate with my court, how can we discuss it?"

Ma Kuo said from the side: "The emperor of our dynasty has accepted Empress Tamamozamae as his concubine. The emperor of your dynasty and the middle palace framed our dynasty's imperial concubine for no reason. It is unreasonable and that's why it happened."

Fujiwara Nagano said: "Soldiers are the most deadly weapons, and Heaven hates them. Your dynasty swallowed up many territories of the Song Dynasty, Khitan, and Goryeo. Our dynasty never sent troops to stop them, so we could completely destroy them. Now if we ignore the grievances we had in the past, we will Raise your troops first, and decide when to fight in the future! How about we shake hands and make peace before the situation gets out of control, and everything will be easy to discuss. "

Zhao Liangsi said: "There is nothing to discuss. Either you accept all our conditions, or if the two dynasties do not tolerate each other, they will have to go to war."

Seeing that he could no longer continue the conversation, Fujiwara Nagami left and sent someone back to report the results of the negotiations to Emperor Shirakawa.

Let’s talk about Jiang Hongfei.

Jiang Hongfei had no hope at all for peace talks.

After all, the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" he proposed was to export capital to Japan. If Japan agreed, it would also be annexed by the Yuan Empire.

What Jiang Hongfei is most concerned about now is where the right-wing army that attacked Japan has gone?

You know, the right-wing army that attacked Japan has the best flying slaves, so there shouldn't be no news at all.

"What happened to the right-wing army?"

Jiang Hongfei was very worried and irritated.

Fortunately, after more than ten days, Jiang Hongfei finally received news from the right-wing army.

This news was not sent back by the flying slaves of the right-wing army, but by a commander of the right-wing army.

Through the report of this commander, Jiang Hongfei knew what happened.

It turned out that -

When the right-wing army just left Minota, it was moving very smoothly.

However, just as the right-wing army was approaching Japan, a huge typhoon suddenly blew up and lasted for two days and two nights.

The typhoon not only destroyed dozens of warships of the right-wing army, causing the right-wing army to lose more than 10,000 troops, but also made the right-wing army lose its direction.

Among the destroyed warships were several warships of the Communications Department, so the Right Route Army completely lost contact with Ruan Xiaoer's headquarters and the Yuan Empire.

The failure of the expedition and the huge losses put the Right Route Army in a dilemma.

Some people suggested that they should return home immediately, reorganize the army, and then attack Japan again.

Some people suggested that there is no turning back. Although they lost more than 10,000 troops and dozens of warships, they are not without the ability to fight, and as long as they reach Japan, they can fight to support the war.

Finally, the pressure was given to Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun, Wang De and other generals of the Right Route Army.

Ruan Xiaoqi is a hot-tempered person. He has fought with Jiang Hongfei for more than ten years and rarely has the opportunity to lead troops independently. He doesn't want to encounter such a shameful thing when he leads troops independently for the first time.

The same is true for Zhang Shun. Over the years, he has made some small achievements and has no achievements to show. He also needs this opportunity to show himself.

Wang De's situation is even worse.

Wang De was originally a general of the Song army, and his position was not high.

Later, he surrendered to the Yuan Empire after being defeated in the war. Jiang Hongfei personally discovered and promoted him.

Many people think that Wang De is just lucky and has no real ability at all.

With Wang De's temper, can he bear such an insult?

Wang De has been looking for an opportunity to do a big job and let the world see whether he, Wang De, Wang Yasha, can do it? ! ! !

Wang De said to everyone: "Your Majesty said that Japan is like a long belt standing in the east. As long as we move eastward, we can always reach Japan."

Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun thought it made sense, so the right-wing army continued to move eastward even though they were lost.

After sailing for seventeen days, the right-wing army finally reached the shore.

The right-wing army, which had been unlucky since its departure, finally got lucky. When they were about to reach the shore, they encountered a Japanese fishing boat.

Zhang Shun personally took action and caught all the Japanese fishermen on that boat.

Led by these Japanese fishermen, the right-wing army came to a place similar to a port, and sent Ou Peng to lead the army to seize that place, and then landed from there.

After landing, the Japanese led by the right-wing army repeatedly confirmed with the locals, and then they knew that the place where they landed was Ezo, that is, Hokkaido.

In this world, Hokkaido is not a part of Japan. It is inhabited by the Ainu people, who are extremely backward and can be said to be eating raw meat and drinking blood.

Ezo was divided into small forces by local indigenous people, and there was a certain connection between them.

Seeing that the right-wing army invaded their homes, they quickly united and organized a large-scale armed force to try to drive the right-wing army away.

There was no suspense in this battle.

Under the attack of the Yuan army's thunder chariots and cavalry, the locals were beaten to a pulp, with heavy casualties. The results of the battle can refer to the war between Europeans and Indians.

However, occupying Ezo was not the strategic goal of the right-wing army. The strategic goal of the right-wing army was to surprise attack the Japanese capital Kyoto.

According to the information obtained by the Japanese, Ezo is farther from Kyoto than Kyushu Island, and there is also the Oyu region in between.

Ruan Xiaoer and others discussed with their generals and staff officers and felt that since Ezo had been conquered, it should not be wasted. They left some people to conduct public trials, eliminate local dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry families, liberate local slaves, and distribute the land and sea areas controlled by local dignitaries to slaves and civilians to consolidate the ruling foundation of the Yuan Empire here.

At the same time, the right-wing army divided into two routes, land and water, and advanced towards Kyoto.

A few days later, the right-wing army landed in Dewa Province.

At this time, the Oyu region was also a separatist and autonomous region of the old indigenous people before the conquest of the Japanese court, similar to a colony.

In terms of civilization, the Oyu region is stronger than Ezo, but it is also very limited.

The right-wing army fully appreciates the simple customs of primitive society here, with vast land and sparse population, slash-and-burn farming, and wild beasts.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is not even a decent city here, and the living conditions of the common people are worse than those of the Jurchens before their rise.

Of course, because the Ou region has begun to integrate and assimilate with the Yamato people, and this is the frontier of Japan, there were actually more than 100,000 Japanese samurai here.

However, some time ago, the left-wing army captured Kyushu Island and was launching a fierce attack on Suo, Nagato and Shikoku Island. Emperor Shirakawa was afraid and ordered the samurai in the Ou region to go south to Mutsu Province, ready to support the battle in the south at any time.

It is precisely because of this that the right-wing army could easily enter Dewa Province.

Wang De was a very brave and fierce general. He was also from the Western Army and was originally a subordinate of Yao Gu, a veteran of the Western Army.

Historically, after Yao Gu was defeated by the Jin people, Wang De was placed under the command of Liu Guangshi.

Liu Guangshi's achievements in fighting against various bandits were basically due to Wang De.

In other words, the reason why Liu Guangshi was able to become one of the four generals of the Southern Song Dynasty and the leader of the seven kings was largely because he had Wang De, a brave general.

Wang De's two sons, Wang Qi and Wang Shun, were also famous brave generals. Wang Qi was also a hero of the Caishi victory.

In terms of combat power, Wang De may be stronger than Yang Yizhong, and he should be at the same level as Li Xianzhong, Han Shizhong, Wu Lin, etc.

However, Wang De's biggest problem is that his ability to communicate with others is not very strong.

Moreover, Wang De is straightforward and has a bad temper, which has offended many people.

Therefore, he had been depressed for many years in the Zhao Song Dynasty.

It was not until he joined the Yuan Empire that Jiang Hongfei "recognized the talent" and promoted Wang De, first placing him in his own army as a commander, and then sending him to the front line for training.

After experiencing the two wars of attacking Wang Qing and attacking the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang De was promoted by Jiang Hongfei to the current position of the commander-in-chief.

Wang De felt that it was time for him to repay Jiang Hongfei's great grace.

Therefore, as soon as Wang De led the army into Mutsu Province, he boldly divided his troops to attack.

Soon, Wang De occupied several important places in Dewa Province, and then divided his troops to garrison, waiting for those civil officials to take over, and then continued to go south to Mutsu Province...

When Ruan Xiaoqi sent someone back to report to Jiang Hongfei and Ruan Xiaoer and get in touch, Wang De was leading the Yuan army to fight a decisive battle with the samurai in Dewa...

After learning about the situation of the right-wing army, although they suffered a lot of losses and Jiang Hongfei's two sons were buried in the sea, Jiang Hongfei still breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that Jiang Hongfei is heartless and doesn't care about his sons.

It's not that Jiang Hongfei doesn't care about the more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers and talents who were buried in the sea with his two sons.

In fact, kindness cannot lead troops, righteousness cannot make money, goodness cannot be an official, affection cannot establish affairs, and benevolence cannot be involved in politics.

Moreover, no matter what, there are still 90,000 troops who successfully landed in Japan and achieved some results.

This is a blessing in disguise.

Ruan Xiaoqi and others also know that if they don't show up this time, they will have a bad start. If they are not all Jiang Hongfei's confidants, they may be accused of "missing the opportunity to fight."

Therefore, someone gave Ruan Xiaoqi and others an idea, it is better to get some Japanese beauties to "bribe" Jiang Hongfei.

It is precisely because of this that Ruan Xiaoqi and others have collected thousands of Japanese beauties for Jiang Hongfei along the way.

These rough guys were afraid that their vision was not good enough, so they found a lot of advisers and selected the best ones.

Among these advisers, there were many Japanese, who were very enthusiastic about this and took the opportunity to stuff their women in, hoping to soar to the sky.

This time, these Japanese beauties were also brought back by Ruan Xiaoqi and his confidants and presented to Jiang Hongfei...
