Chapter 522 Please help His Royal Highness King Jin
"Baekje is so brave!"
Li Xuan was furious.
Then, when he thought of something, he couldn't help but sigh, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Inugami, your guards are too incompetent. A hundred thousand gu of property can be taken away by Baekje thieves. Moreover, it is on the sea, which makes me unable to help you even if I want to!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, my envoy did not expect that the Baekje traitor was so frantic that he directly sent a huge navy and more than thirty giant ships to surround our fleet, even if all the guards under his command were
Even though we are fighting to the death, we are still outnumbered!"
Inugami Mitsuda looked bitter.
"Are the Baekje thieves so arrogant?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan seemed to be hearing it for the first time, and his face was full of surprise.
"This is an evil country. You, the Japanese country, can submit a letter of credence to me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and ask me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to send troops to punish this evil country!"
"Please ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send troops to punish the traitorous country of Baekje?"
Inugami Santian was startled.
It seemed like he had never thought of this.
"Of course, if you don't punish the Baekje thief country, from now on if your Japanese ships want to return from Qingzhou, won't the Baekje thief country be able to plunder you?"
Li Xuan said.
Inugami Santian Shu asked hurriedly: "May I ask His Highness the King of Jin if your envoy can ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send troops tomorrow?"
"How can you, a little envoy, take the place of the Japanese monarch and ask me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to send troops?"
Li Xuan was stunned and shook his head.
"Besides, why should I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, listen to the wishes of a small envoy from the Japanese country and send troops to attack the thief country of Baekje?"
Inugami Mita Shu was also startled, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "The traitorous country of Baekje attacked and killed innocent envoys. The Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, and it should make decisions for us and other vassal countries!"
"Have you, the Japanese country, delivered the vassal certificate to my country, the Tang Dynasty? Can you pay tribute to my country, the Tang Dynasty, every year? Is your country, the country of Japan, a vassal state of my country, the Tang Dynasty?"
After hearing this, Li Xuan looked solemn and asked directly.
"To the King of Jin, although our country, Japan, has not submitted its vassalage certificate to the Tang Dynasty, it has paid tribute for two years, so it should be considered a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty!"
Inugami Mita was anxious and said quickly.
"Two years of tribute?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sneer.
"I wonder what tribute your Japanese country paid? How much is it worth?"
"this……"
Inugami Mita Shu looked at Li Xuan blankly, completely confused as to why the Jin King suddenly changed his expression.
Seeing this, Li Xuan sighed softly and explained with a sincere face: "Quanshang, although I also want to help you. But you have to know that the Tang Dynasty is not only the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also all the clan members.
, various princes, various ministers, and aristocratic families!
Your Japanese country has only paid tribute for two years, with such a small amount of property. Even if any small aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty gave a gift to this king, they would not dare to give such a shabby gift, otherwise they would be laughed at by everyone in the Tang Dynasty.
Even, I will think that he is insulting me!
The reason why Your Majesty did not reject your Japanese country was because you accepted it because it was poor and weak.
But how valuable are the gifts that I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, gave you to bring back to Japan?
You have been to Datang several times, so you should probably know.
The Tang Dynasty does not owe you and other Japanese countries anything! In fact, every time you and other Japanese countries come to our Datang Dynasty, you will make a lot of money!
Although our country, the Tang Dynasty, is a country of etiquette, it is a country with a heavenly dynasty.
However, I, Datang, am not a fool!
Just because Baekje traitors robbed you and other Japanese missions, and your Japanese mission said a few good words to me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, will send troops to conquer Baekje and avenge you and other Japanese countries?"
"So, why? You should also know that sending troops once will cost the Tang Dynasty how much money it will cost? Or even how many lives of the Tang Dynasty will be lost?"
"Shang Shang, if we are in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, all we need is a word from me or the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. However, Baekje is on the other side of the vast sea, and it is impossible for me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to send troops in vain! Moreover, we, the people of the Tang Dynasty,
None of the ministers would allow it!
Even if you have the temerity to visit me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and mention this, those ministers and aristocratic families will directly send people to assassinate you in order to prevent the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty from sending troops!"
In the end, Li Xuan looked solemn and his tone was cold.
Inugami Mita Shu's heart tightened and he shuddered subconsciously.
"Your Majesty understands!"
Inugami Mita Shu had no doubt at all about what Li Xuan said.
This kind of thing happens often in their Japanese country.
Although His Majesty the Emperor controls everything in Japan, he still needs to consider the feelings of Minister Soga and other ministers on many major matters.
However, I couldn't help but feel frightened when I thought that he would lead a delegation back to Japan in a few days and would be attacked and killed by the Baekje thief country again on the sea.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, what should we do?"
"How many guards did you bring with you when you came to Datang this time?"
Li Xuan continued to ask.
"To report to His Highness the King of Jin, your envoy only brought 600 guards and 400 boatmen!"
Inugami Mitaru hurriedly replied.
"That much?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly, "With such a small number of guards, Baekje only needs to send out a navy at will, and you guys will definitely not be able to escape!"
"Please help me, His Highness Prince Jin!"
Inugami Mitaru knelt down quickly with a look of horror on his face.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, now that Japan and Baekje are at war with each other, Baekje will definitely not let the envoy wait for his ship to return to Japan. If Baekje attacks the envoy again, he will definitely have no chance of surviving!"
"Aren't you good at water? Didn't you survive jumping into the sea last time?"
Li Xuan asked curiously.
"Prince Jin, my envoy was lucky last time and was relatively close to the shore. He drifted on the sea for a day and encountered a fishing boat before he was rescued!"
Inugami Mitsuda looked scared, "If I encountered a big fish at that time, I would die in the sea and be eaten by the big fish!"
Hearing this, Li Xuan's face changed slightly, and he looked helpless: "So, how will you go back this time?"
"this?……"
Inugami Mita was stunned for a moment.
He doesn't know either.
After a while, Inugami Mitaru said cautiously again.
"I would like to ask His Highness the King of Jin, if our country, Japan, provides money to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and asks the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send troops to punish the Baekje thief country, is it possible?"
"Tsk..."
Li Xuan glanced at Inugami Mita Shi with disdain, "You, Japan, are just an island country. It's extremely barren. If you have any wealth, can you ask me, the Tang Dynasty, to send troops?"
Inugami Mita Shu was anxious. In order to survive, he would ask Datang to send troops no matter what.
Even if it's just to scare Baekje, otherwise he won't even think about going back alive.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, what if our country, Japan, is willing to sell some islands or territory again and ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send troops?"
"Selling the land of your island nation?"
Li Xuan's eyes lit up, which made Quan Shang San Tian Shu feel happy.
However, soon, Li Xuan shook his head gently.
"You have to know that your Japanese country is thousands of miles away from our country, the Tang Dynasty, and it is still barren. Our country, the Tang Dynasty, is not very interested in your Japanese country!"
Hearing this, Quan Shang Santian was both happy and sad.
A powerful empire like the Tang Dynasty was not interested in their Japanese territory. The Japanese were naturally very happy.
However, thinking about not being able to sell the money, I couldn't help but feel worried.
However, he still said quickly: "Isn't His Highness the King of Jin interested in our land of Japan? I can make the decision privately. As long as the King of Jin buys it, I will definitely sell it to His Highness the King of Jin!"
At this time, Li Chengqian on the side remembered something and whispered a few words to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Inugami Mita Shu with some strangeness, "How many cities in Baekje did your Japanese country capture in the past few months?"
