Zhao Hanguo looked at the panic of the little eunuch and thought to himself: How can a small country with three Fusang Islands dare to offend my power of Kyushu?
This Fusang Kingdom was once called the Japanese Kingdom in the previous dynasty. In the eleventh year of the Taisho Shou Yuan Dynasty, the Fusang Kingdom sent envoys to pay tribute. The previous dynasty also named its king the Japanese King of Japan, and also gave the Taisho Japanese King's gold seal to indicate this Fusang Kingdom.
The king of Japan was a vassal state of the Taisho Dynasty.
The young eunuch knelt in front of Zhao Hanguo and his godfather, and presented an urgent document to them.
When Zhao Hanguo saw the document, which read "Eight Hundred Miles Urgent, Delivery Immediately" in nine big red letters, his heart suddenly tightened.
This 800-mile journey is an urgent matter. Could it be that the Japanese bandits have already invaded Zhenhai?
He grabbed the document and brought it to his eyes. In an instant, veins popped out, his eyes were red, and his back molars were gritted. He shouted angrily: "The country of three islands still dares to offend the power of Kyushu. How can General Zhenhai defend the country?"
city!"
Zhao Hanguo was so angry that the black-sheathed golden sword hanging on his waist also made a clanging sound: I think that after I just defeated Khan, I conquered Chengchuan. The soldiers pointed at me, and I was invincible. 30,000 horses and 100,000 generals were ready to go.
In order to regain the Northern Qi Dynasty in one fell swoop, these Japanese bandits actually planned to take advantage of the chaos to disturb our Zhenhai. This is unbearable!
"Follow me to meet the emperor!"
Zhao Hanguo grabbed the eight-hundred-mile letter and rushed to the Yangxin Hall.
In the Hall of Yangxin, Yan Xuanji had already discussed with Yan Zhuo and others, and was about to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers. When they saw the furious Zhao Hanguo approaching menacingly, they were all startled. Could it be that the walls have ears? What they just talked about
Did he know everything?
Yan Xuanji's heart was beating fast, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. Yan Zhuo was also condensing his energy at the side, ready to take action at any time to kill Zhao Hanguo in one fell swoop.
"Your Majesty, Mishima Fuso sent 30,000 Japanese bandits to attack our Zhenhai!" Zhao Hanguo's face turned pale with anger, "These Japanese bandits are so bold that they dare to attack our Kyushu Divine Power. They should be killed as soon as possible with the force of thunder!"
"
This was the first time that Yan Xuanji saw such an angry Zhao Hanguo. In his impression, Zhao Hanguo had always been a reserved and scheming old fox, but this time he changed from usual, with anger written directly on his face.
But it's normal. This Japanese bandit's crime is like a lion bitten on the nose by a mouse. The wound is not big, but it is a loss of face!
——No one from Kyushu can swallow this breath!
I am a long-time Chinese Kyushu, a land where tigers and dragons roost, how can I be bullied by Japanese bandits and rats!
Yan Xuanji looked at the angry Zhao Hanguo and said: "The bold Japanese pirates dare to attack our land of Jiuzhou. Tell me what the prime minister's plan is to deal with it. If it is appropriate, the prime minister can do it easily."
Zhao Hanguo was not polite and said directly: "Zhenhai is an important outlet for our eastern border. It connects the four towns and three states in the east and is a transportation hub and strategic location in the east. Zhenhai cannot be lost. Therefore, the old minister plans to deploy Beifu to guard the Later Han Dynasty.
10,000 soldiers, 10,000 Beifu soldiers who stayed at Jingkou to guard Jingkou, and 350 patrol ships, 200 warships, 10 ocean-going treasure ships and 5,000 naval troops from Zhenyang Navy in the south, a total of 25,000 people.
560 ships attacked Zhenhai from both land and water, allowing the Japanese pirates to taste Kyushu’s dumplings!”
Yan Xuanji listened to Zhao Hanguo's arrangements, his mind tightened, and he said, "Isn't it a bit wasteful to make such arrangements just for a mere 30,000 Japanese bandits?"
"The Japanese country is the most capricious country. Its people are very humble and do not know the kindness in the world. They are only intimidated by the power of force. Therefore, you can only kill them all with the force of thunder without showing any good feelings toward them.
"As Zhao Hanguo said this, he crumpled the urgent document in his hand.
Seeing this, Yan Xuanji said, "In that case, I can lead the expedition myself and gather five thousand people from the imperial army to attack these Japanese bandits head-on!"
Yan Zhuo listened to what Yan Xuanji said, his heart tightened, and he sighed silently: This Yan Xuanji is still too young and wants to show off too much. How could Zhao Hanguo, an old fox, allow him to lead troops on an expedition? What he said will only make Zhao Hanguo more angry.
Be afraid of him.
As expected, Zhao Hanguo said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Supreme Being. This sword has no eyes. Your Majesty should stay in the palace and wait for good news."
As soon as Zhao Hanguo finished speaking, another young eunuch ran in holding urgent documents and said in a panic: "Zhenhai Eight Hundred Miles is urgent. The battle on the front line has changed."
Zhao Hanguo had just received the document and was still hesitating. Yan Xuanji understood it and said: "Xiangguo, take a quick look at what is written in this document and read it to me."
Zhao Hanguo was stunned and glanced at Yan Xuanji. As soon as he glanced at the document, his eyes widened and he said: "Zhenhai city was destroyed, the Japanese bandits slaughtered 50,000 of our people, Zhenhai general Sun Chengzhu died in the battle, eight
Of the thousands of soldiers who defended the city, more than 6,000 were killed in the battle, more than a hundred were missing, and more than a thousand fled to nearby towns."
Hearing what Zhao Hanguo said, both Yan Xuanji and Yan Zhuo were shocked. This Japanese bandit was short, like a dwarf. His height was just as tall as a Kyushu man's chest and abdomen. He was weak and muscleless. How could such a weak person break through Zhenhai?
Yan Xuanji frowned tightly, and said with a hint of anger and a hint of bitterness in his voice: "Fifty thousand people, with such deep hatred, must kill all three Japanese pirate islands. How can the weak Japanese pirates defeat me, Sergeant Jiang Zuo?"
!? Did General Zhenhai underestimate the enemy and rush in, leading to a huge defeat, or was there an internal source of Japanese pirates in Zhenhai City?"
He said this with an emphasis: "There must be an insider from the Japanese pirates in Zhenhai City, so our Zhenhai Navy was defeated by the Japanese pirates. These scum of Jiangzuo should really destroy their nine tribes!"
Zhao Hanguo listened to Yan Xuanji's complaints, looked at the urgent document calmly, and continued: "The document said that the Japanese bandits this time seem to be a little different. They are well-equipped, and each one is equipped with two Japanese swords, one long and one short.
, as well as spears, shields, and some were even equipped with firearms. Their artillery caused huge damage in the naval battle. More than a thousand people of the Zhenhai Navy and more than a hundred warships were sunk in this battle. And this time they
There is also a uniform cherry blossom pattern on the body, which looks like a family's private armed force. It attacks quickly and fiercely, and seems to be well prepared."
Yan Xuanji was slightly surprised when he heard what Zhao Hanguo said. It had only been a hundred years since the Japanese pirates came to Kyushu to seek the title of "Japanese slave king". Could it be that the Japanese pirates had become so powerful in just a hundred years?
In fact, the Fuso Kingdom has experienced more than a thousand battles, large and small, in the past hundred years in Kyushu. The three islands and twenty-eight kingdoms have gradually unified and become a unified Fuso Kingdom. And the Oda clan who unified Fuso has legitimately become the Fuso Kingdom.
The largest clan in Fuso, they used the cherry blossom pattern as their family symbol. After reorganizing the country, they began to conquer neighboring countries.
"Xiangguo, since these Japanese bandits are so ruthless, I suggest that some of the forbidden troops in the inner palace should be removed from the army to participate in frontline operations." Yan Xuanji said this, "This can be regarded as my modest strength."
Hearing this, Zhao Han Guowen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need. There are only 30,000 Japanese bandits and just a bunch of refugees. With our sergeants from the three towns on the left of the Yangtze River, it will not be a big worry."
Yan Xuanji was smiling but Zhao Hanguo looked like a loyal minister who was concerned about the country and the people: "How can the imperial army guard Wang Ji be easily withdrawn? Moreover, the capital is about to be moved, and the imperial army still has to protect the emperor's move to the capital, so it cannot be mobilized."
Zhao Hanguo took a two-pronged approach and made it clear that he did not want to give Yan Xuanji a chance to get rid of the Forbidden Army.
He looked at Yan Xuanji and smiled slyly in his heart: I can't tell what the little emperor is thinking. He just wants to use the name of the Forbidden Army to deploy some of his own forces in the Forbidden Army.
Seeing that there was no hope, Yan Xuanji could only change his words and said: "I am willing to listen to the arrangements of the Prime Minister, but the battle with the Japanese pirates is related to the national prestige of our country. We must not lose anything. Please take the trouble of the Prime Minister."
Zhao Hanguo smiled in his heart again: This little guy is digging a hole for me. If I fail in the battle with the Japanese pirates, this little emperor will not only say a few words to me, but I will also be embarrassed to enter the Zhao family's ancestral temple!
"Your Majesty, please take care of me. I will do my best until my death, and I will not disgrace the Jiangzuo state!"
When Zhao Hanguo said this, Yan Zhuo said from the side: "Zhao admires the righteousness of the prime minister. Zhao is willing to be a front-line pawn for the prime minister and do his part to pacify the Japanese!"
As soon as Yan Zhuo said this, Zhao Hanguo, Yan Xuanji, and Yan Xiaoyu were all shocked.
Yan Xuanji thought to himself: What's going on with Zhao Gongdao? Didn't he just say that as long as he was given the position of Minister of Household Affairs, he could overthrow Zhao Hanguo? Why is he asking Zhao Hanguo to go and fight against the Japanese bandits now? Isn't he still?
What selfish motives are there?
Yan Xiaoyu also didn't understand what Yan Zhuo was thinking. She just looked at Yan Zhuo blankly from the side, wondering what kind of medicine was in Yan Zhuo's gourd?
Zhao Hanguo looked at the expressions of Yan Xuanji and Yan Xiaoyu, and vaguely noticed something in his heart. He felt that Zhao Gongdao seemed to have a very subtle relationship with Yan Xuanji and Yan Xiaoyu, and this subtlety was just right.
for one's own use.
"Why are you going to pacify the Japanese?" Zhao Hanguo asked.
Yan Zhuo raised his head, a pair of eyes shining with exquisite light, and said loudly: "Foreign tribes invade our border, the people of Jiuzhou should share the same hatred to defend Jiuzhou, defend the country and protect the family. This is the duty of men of Jiuzhou. Today I will not care about the fifty thousand people in Zhenjiang."
The innocent souls of the common people, who will care about my life and death in Jiuzhou in the future!"
