The battle against floods in various places has come to an end.
Li Yuanxing stayed in Huating and did not return to Chang'an. He just sent some things back.
There were twenty red-blooded guards and six Yulin regulars in the two carriages. Wu Bin, the top master of the Qin Palace, personally escorted the carriage into Chang'an. No one knew what was in these two carriages.
When the train entered Chang'an North Station, all passengers were asked not to leave the carriages until the imperial palace guards, that is, the Habayashi Army Guards, removed the items from the two carriages before the passengers were allowed to get off the train.
The trains in the Tang Dynasty were still under military control.
Even if it wasn't military control, the people of the Tang Dynasty were very rule-abiding, regardless of whether they were wealthy or not.
Large boxes were pulled into the palace one after another and piled directly in the main hall.
At the request of King Li Yuanxing of Qin, celebrities from Chang'an, famous writers from various newspapers, chief officials from various ministries, and elders from Chang'an were all invited here.
There is a seal from the Prince of Qin's Palace on the box.
After Li Er tore the seal of a box with his own hands, all the boxes were opened at the same time.
Plaque, twenty-three pieces. Book of Ten Thousand People, hundreds of letters!
Looking at these things, Li Er smiled and laughed loudly. Only Li Er knew that this was Li Yuanxing's reaction. Regarding the counterattack three years ago that asked the wounded soldiers to return with honors, Li Yuanxing was telling the nobles of the world that the common people are noble and inferior.
There is nothing wrong with scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but soldiers are listed separately.
Wang Jishan smiled bitterly and shook his head, cupped his hands towards Li Er and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, those who lived and died for the Tang Dynasty should enjoy glory!" A famous person came out and said.
"Put these in front of the main entrance of the palace and display them for ten days." Li Er ordered. Then he walked to a plaque held by the young eunuch. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Record a meritorious service to the Dandong Navy. On the order.
Merits are rewarded.”
Li Er is the emperor, and he will not reward anyone easily.
Even if the plaque has clearly written who it is thanking, he will not single out a single person to reward him. Because he is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the highest ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and such an easy reward would not be enough.
Rewards have become less noble.
Li Yuanxing can praise someone, but he cannot and cannot.
Is Li Yuanxing really that childish? Fighting over the humiliation he suffered when he returned home three years ago?
In fact, no. Li Yuanxing just wanted the celebrities and nobles in Chang'an to know. Only the army that loves the people can protect the Tang Dynasty at all costs. Only the people who respect the sergeants can make the army stronger and have the ability to fight.
They want to protect, and they want to protect to the death.
Li Yuanxing would not say these words, and it would be meaningless to explain them.
Looking through the information in his hand, Li Yuanxing shook the bell at hand.
"Your Highness!" Qiuxiang came in from the outer room after hearing the bell.
"An order was issued that all troops involved in the disaster relief should not return to their bases. They should all camp in the area west of Suzhou that was destroyed by the flood. All excess relief supplies began to be cleaned up and stored separately. All flying boats were ordered to return to Yaozhou for maintenance in two months.
, ordering all large ships over 1,000 tons to be stationed in the sea off Huating in three months."
"Yes!" Qiuxiang responded. Then he went out and wrote the order and came back in for Li Yuanxing to seal it. Then the sealed order was officially sent out.
The troops were a little surprised. If they were not allowed to leave, could there be any mission that they could not accomplish?
In the afternoon of that day, Li Yuanxing met with representatives of Japanese slave workers.
"The grain distributed to you has been robbed by the nobles of Yamato. There is no way to confirm this for you in the short term. But there is no need for me to lie to you. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I asked you to come over and just said
One thing. You have earned some food by working for me and the Tang Dynasty, and that will be distributed to you. I and the Tang Dynasty will not owe you a grain of rice!"
Believe it or not?
After the interpreter explained in Japanese, several leaders wanted to look at each other, but no one dared to speak.
The person sitting above is much more powerful than the Emperor of Yamato. No one knows whether he will die if he says the wrong thing.
"You are allowed to discuss and ask questions!" Li Yuanxing said again.
After the translator said it, several Japanese people lowered their heads and discussed with each other. The Japanese people believed that there was no need for a superior to lie to them about this kind of thing. There was originally news that the food at home had been robbed. But it is far away from the Japanese island.
, he has no way to go back, and he has no way to prove anything?
After the discussion, one of them boldly said: "His Majesty, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty..."
This Japanese person uses the name "Your Majesty".
The translator hesitated. He thought about the differences between several honorifics in the Japanese language. It seemed that this was the most noble title for Emperor Wajima. At the moment, he did not dare to translate directly. Instead, he whispered to Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness,
They used a very noble title, which is probably disrespectful."
"Let's do this for now. Let's not mention these trivial matters for now. You can choose a nobler one among the Japanese."
Li Yuanxing's words were orders, just pick a nobler one and use it on Li Er.
After listening to what the Japanese said, the translator said to Li Yuanxing again: "Your Highness, they say they believe it. But even if they are robbed, they have nothing to do. If the Tang Dynasty can have mercy on them, can they be allowed to bring their families to the Tang Dynasty and work?"
, you can also earn a share of food.”
"I have never owed anything to anyone. Anyone who works for the Tang Dynasty will receive wages. As long as it is the number mentioned in advance, it will only be more, not less. You who work for the Tang Dynasty are workers of the Tang Dynasty.
Anyone who robs you is robbing me. This does not give me face, so I decided to take the food back again."
Grab it back?
Is Datang preparing to fight against Yamato?
These Japanese people were originally the lowest class people on the Japanese island. They just got some benefits here, and their hearts were biased toward the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanxing said again: "Go back and ask how many people are willing to take back the food. If there are more than half of them, I will seek justice for you. If even you are too weak to resist, I will give you my wages."
It will still be issued as it is, whether Yamato will snatch it or not has nothing to do with me!"
The Japanese understood.
This means that food will still be transported to the Japanese islands every month, the food will be distributed, and then it will be robbed by Yamato.
No one can be a little angry about this matter, and before there is any way, the leader of the Japanese turned his head: "We want to take it back." Li Yuanxing shook his head: "This is just the idea of a few of you, and it does not represent everyone.
Japanese workers. So let’s listen to what the other Japanese workers think.”
Several scrolls were distributed to these Japanese people.
The above is a petition written in Chinese, requesting the Palace of Qin in the Tang Dynasty to take the initiative and allow the nobles of Yamato to return their own food.
Then the squares are printed below, and enough ink pads are distributed, and whoever agrees can leave a fingerprint.
Several Japanese people went out, and Li Yuanxing held his chin with one hand: "Pei Xi, go and tell Wang Ba to continue transporting grain to the Japanese island. It is said to be food for the Japanese people. If they let it go, it will be distributed as usual. If
If they are not allowed to send it, I will find a way to get them to receive it, but they must have a receipt."
"Your Highness, isn't this giving them free food?"
"A mere tens of thousands of stone meters." Li Yuanxing glanced at Pei Xi with a smile.
Pei Xi nodded quickly: "I will send a telegram right now. Let General Wang Ba prepare it."
Not long after Pei Xi left, the cabinet master came in.
"Yuanxing, this is a vicious plan." The cabinet master laughed loudly: "With a few grains, the Japanese will destroy their country. I don't know if they will regret it in the future."
"Stealing people's food will lose the support of the people, not to mention that there are more than 200,000 Japanese workers here. From the Inland Sea to 40 miles west of the Japanese Kyoto, there are 200,000 Japanese workers, and there are 100 Japanese workers behind them.
Tens of thousands of family members, plus neighbors and lords who had benefited from this matter, died within three months."
"Three months later, these sergeants will be doing a good job of pruning it. In three months, the new rice from Nanyang will be ripe. The summer harvest of the Tang Dynasty has also been put into the warehouse. It is just in time to send out troops."
Li Yuanxing asked the cabinet master to sit down: "Then grandpa will be the coach!"
"No!" The cabinet master waved his hand: "Grandpa, just be a visitor. But this time, how are you going to fight? Let the Japanese have a civil war on their own, or raid the Japanese Kyoto?"
"None of them." Li Yuanxing first denied the cabinet master's words, then asked his guards to guard the door, and then continued: "Grandpa, I have nearly twenty flying boats now. These are lined up in the sky.
I want to know if there is enough power. I will also deploy six more 3,000-ton warships, 20 more 2,000-ton warships, 50 more 1,000-ton warships, and 200 more 500-ton warships. I will patrol around the island and wonder if there are any.
Feeling of coercion?”
The cabinet master nodded, then shook his head: "Only patrolling is not enough. Didn't the Japanese have a catapult on the coast?"
"Yes!" Li Yuanxing knew this.
"Use artillery fire to sweep all the fortifications that are detrimental to the Tang Dynasty, and then patrol. And tell the people on the entire Japanese island that the Tang Dynasty is just helping the Japanese workers who work for the Tang Dynasty to seek justice and demand justice from the Yamato Kingdom.
Come back and rob the Japanese of food, otherwise..."
The cabinet master thought about it and felt something was wrong: "There is nothing wrong with this."
"Yes, he will start a fight if he doesn't respond, so there's no point in trying to scare people. They can just start fighting."
"Send a telegram to Wang Ba and ask him to sail the fleet directly into the inland sea. Use a loudspeaker to shout that this is to distribute food to the Japanese workers. Anyone who dares to open fire will be equivalent to the Tang Dynasty declaring war. If there is danger, allow him to
Open fire. Lend him a warship of fifteen hundred tons and thirty-six guns."
The cabinet master came up with another idea.
Borrow? Li Yuanxing doubted whether he could return it if he borrowed it. These generals were more jealous when they saw a boat than a woman. If they borrowed it, they would definitely find countless excuses and refuse to return it.
But there is currently a shortage of seafarers, and it is difficult to find suitable people to send new crew members.
