Waters of Wonu Kingdom, Ezo Island.

Looking at the boats of Ezo people being transported to the other side, Wang Hu cursed and said:

"This group of monkeys were so frightened that they pissed themselves when they fought with the Japanese slaves. When they killed each other, each one was more ferocious than the other."

Cai Yang held a straw stalk in his mouth and said: "This is called a nest. Otherwise, how could our plan succeed so easily?"

Wang Hu said unhappily: "It's too unfulfilling. I still like to go into battle and kill the enemy with real swords and guns."

Cai Yang said: "I'm different from you. I'm afraid of death. I wish I could get more of this kind of military glory in vain. Although it's a little less, I don't have to experience any danger, so why not do it."

Wang Hu said: "This thing is not easy. Although it is not that dangerous, it is really laborious and laborious."

"We have been busy for so long and only fifty or sixty thousand people have moved here. What can we do with this small number of people?"

Cai Yang took the straw out of his mouth and said: "Fifty or sixty thousand today, and another fifty or sixty thousand tomorrow. There are only less than a million people on these islands, and we will be able to transport them there one day."

One of them belongs to the East China Sea Protectorate and the other belongs to the East China Sea Fleet. They met each other because of the last battle that burned down Hyogo Port.

In that battle, Wang Hu was awarded the title of Flying Cavalry Lieutenant and the title of Wusan Officer as a guerrilla general, marking his entry into the ranks of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

Because Cai Yang led an army alone and made great contributions, he was awarded the title of Captain of Cavalry and General Ningyuan.

Later, the two of them implemented a plan to conquer Ezo Island, Kuba Island and surrounding islands together.

In fact, it is very simple. Instigate different Ezo tribes to fight and secretly provide them with weapons.

When one side is defeated, they will run over and say, "We can transport you away by ship to prevent you from being destroyed."

Some tribes refused, and then they disappeared.

The old people were killed, the young ones were sent to Treasure Island (Sado Island) to work as coolies in the mines, and some were sent to be slaves in copper and iron mines in various places.

The remaining women and children were packed and transported back to the Tang Dynasty, where they became wives and slaves of the Tang people.

Of course, it was not the Tang army that took action to eliminate these tribes, but other hateful Ezo tribes.

The victorious Ezo people would exchange their captive population for various luxuries from the Tang army.

The Tang army did not want the elderly or the disabled, but only young men, women and children.

The remaining elderly and disabled people who were no longer wanted were executed by the winning tribe to save food.

Everything has nothing to do with the benevolent Tang Jun, they just made a normal transaction.

As this internecine fighting became more intense, more tribes agreed to migration plans.

For example, the tribe in front of me was defeated and forced to flee Ezo Island not long ago.

The righteous Tang Army extended a helping hand to them and transported them to Honshu Island at extremely low freight rates.

Moreover, in order to allow them to survive on Honshu Island, the kind-hearted Tang Jun specially selected a safer landing point for them.

They were also given certain weapons, farm tools, seeds, etc. to ensure that they could survive after arriving on Honshu Island.

Tang Jun knew that they were poor, so most of the help was at ex-factory price, which was very cheap.

But even so, these impoverished Ezo tribes had no money to pay.

However, the benevolent Tang Army allowed them to owe the debt, and also told them that they could repay the debt with gold, silver, copper, game agricultural products, or women from the Wonu Kingdom.

Moreover, the price offered by the Tang army was very high. If they captured one or two villages and captured some Japanese slave women, they could repay the debt.

Many tribes are already planning to grab one.

As for the Japanese slaves' revenge, there is no need to worry about it. You can just grab it and run away.

If I move to another place, who knows I was the one who stole it?

Many Japanese villages have been robbed in the past two months.

Sometimes things are just like this. When you don't do it, you will feel all kinds of difficulties and dare not do it.

Once you take this initiative, you can't help but do it for the third time...the hundredth time.

This is what happened when the Japanese slaves were robbed of their villages.

At first, the Ezo people were afraid of the Japanese slaves and did not dare to rob them, but they found that after they robbed them several times, they did not suffer much loss.

Instead, they exchanged money owed to Datang through robbery and obtained a large amount of daily necessities. It was so satisfying that more and more tribes came up with bold ideas.

Therefore, the border area between the Wonu Kingdom and the Ezo people gradually began to become chaotic.

In fact, it was not that the Japanese slaves did not know what they had done, nor did they want to care about it, but they had no time to care about it.

The reason is very simple. Shu Ming, the leader of the Japanese slave kingdom, finally failed to survive and died.

Although Soga Ezo tried his best to block the news, the news of the death of the king still spread, and the whole country was in an uproar.

Everyone was shocked by Soga Ezo's ruthless decisiveness, and began to think of ways to hold back.

At this time, Datang extended an olive branch.

At the naval camp on Ezo Island, Liu Rengui asked: "Gao Duhu, what's the plan?"

Gao Biaoren said happily: "The progress is going very smoothly. Soga Ezo has become a rage in the Wonu Kingdom. I contacted Yamabei Daiwang brother, Nakatomi Kamatashi, Soga Ishikawa Maro and others to start a rebellion."

"Brother Yamabeko is the son of Prince Udo (Prince Shotoku). He was qualified to inherit the throne back then, and the previous king also ordered him to succeed."

"But Soga Eni was so powerful that he thought it would be difficult to control his succession, so he appointed another prince as the ruler of the country, namely the ruler Shu Ming who died not long ago."

"After Lord Shu Ming died of illness, Soga Ezo appointed Empress Bao as his successor. So he hated Soga Ezo very much and was easily persuaded."

"Although Soga Ishikawa Maro is also an elder of the Soga family branch, he hates Soga Ezo even more."

"Back then, Soga Ezo wanted to depose Yamagata Daiwang, but was opposed by his uncle Soga Roshi. He sent troops to kill Soga Roshi, setting a precedent for mass killings within the Soga clan."

"There are also many people within the Soga family who are dissatisfied with him, and Soga Ishikawa Maro is the most prominent among them."

"...These people all hate Soga Ezo to the core."

"It's just that in the past, Soga Ezo was so powerful and so ruthless that they didn't dare to fall out. Now with the help of Datang, we have decided to jointly send troops to kill the national traitors."

Liu Renrail: "What do we need to do? Send troops to help them?"

Gao Biaoren said: "No, they don't trust me very much in the Tang Dynasty. How can they be willing to let our army enter Kyoto?"

"The Soga family is powerful and has an army stationed outside Kyoto that is only loyal to him."

"They asked us to send troops to deter this army after the mutiny is successful to prevent the remnants of Soga Ezo's counterattack."

"Once Soga Ezo dies, the local princes of the Wonu Kingdom will probably be ready to take action. They hope that we can send troops to help quell the chaos."

Liu Rengui sneered: "They are really good at dreaming. I agreed to the first condition, but rejected the second condition directly."

Gao Biaoren smiled and said: "I did the same thing. I rejected the second request on the spot."

Liu Rengui asked: "When are they going to take action?"

Gao Biaoren said: "Soga Ezo is afraid of being assassinated, so he usually lives in his own nest outside Kyoto."

"However, the funeral of King Shu Ming will be held in seven days. He must return to Beijing for the funeral. Brother Shanbei King and others chose to take action that night."

"Our army needs to arrive and hide near Kyoto within seven days. Brother Shanbei King and others will send guides to lead the way for us."

Liu Rengui said: "Okay, I will personally lead the army to do this."

Gao Biaoren reminded: "Be careful along the way and beware of fraud by Japanese slaves."

Liu Rengui said confidently: "Don't worry, it's just because I'm afraid they'll deceive me that I have to lead the troops there myself."

"It's okay for them to be honest. If they don't, I will teach them a profound lesson."

…

Seven days passed without realizing it, and Soga Ezo left his hometown and entered Kyoto.

And since it was for the funeral of the old king, it was not easy for him to bring the army into Kyoto.

He just let the army be stationed outside the city and led a group of dead soldiers into the city.

Everything went well during the day, and Lord Shu Ming was successfully buried.

After that, there was a banquet given by the new king of the country, the king of the country, Huangji, and the banquet lasted until the evening.

Soga Ezo had no choice but to stay at his Toyoura Minister's Mansion for one night.

In the middle of the night, when there was no one around, only the watchman on the street kept banging his clapper and patrolling along a fixed route.

"Cha-cha-cha..." Suddenly a rapid and dense sound came from the distance.

He was confused as to where such a sound came from so late at night, so he stopped and stretched his neck to look in the direction of the sound.

Then he saw a shadow that was like a giant insect, squirming rapidly towards his direction.

"War... war?" This old watchman had also experienced many turmoils and knew exactly what the situation in front of him meant.

There is going to be another war in Kyoto, and I don't know which big shot's family will be in trouble.

But now he can't care so much anymore. No matter who these people are going for, if he doesn't hide now, he will be the first to be unlucky.

I looked around and saw a relatively low wall, and immediately rushed to the wall with actions that were befitting my age.

He pressed his hands against the wall and jumped in, then huddled motionless in the shadow of the corner.
