(PS: Today I will re-edit the chapter uploaded yesterday. Some of the foreshadowing must be written in advance so that it can be unfolded step by step in the future.)
The feud between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese country originated from the Battle of Baijiangkou a hundred years ago.
In the third year of Emperor Longshuo's reign (AD 661), a large-scale naval battle broke out between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese Empire at the mouth of the Baijiang River (now the mouth of the Jinjiang River in South Korea). The Tang navy defeated the Japanese navy with a small number and defeated the Japanese navy.
This battle was the first battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese country, and it also allowed the Japanese country to truly see the strength of the Tang Dynasty.
After the Battle of Baijiangkou, the Japanese nation ostensibly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty. Secretly, using the name of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, they sent batches of Japanese spies to the Central Plains, lurking in prosperous places such as Chang'an and Luoyang to learn from the advances of the Tang Dynasty.
The culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty, drawing the map of the Tang Dynasty’s mountains and rivers, stealing the treasures and various secret books of the Tang Dynasty...
An Lushan had always had good relations with the Japanese state, and after becoming Fanyang Jiedu envoy, his relationship with the Japanese state became even closer.
After realizing An Lushan's ambition to become emperor, the Japanese emperor secretly supported An Lushan. He wanted to use the power of An Lushan to disrupt the world. When the Tang Dynasty had no time to look eastward, he would wait for the opportunity to devour Silla and Bohai counties.
territory.
In the 14th year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty (AD 755), Mamoru Onoda, a Japanese spy who returned from Bohai County, brought earth-shattering news: An Lushan, the military envoy of the Tang Dynasty, launched a rebellion, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty abandoned Chang'an and fled.
Yizhou.
This move shocked the Japanese government and the public, and the Japanese court officials believed that the Tang Dynasty, which was in civil strife, had no time to rush to the aid of Silla, and that this was the perfect opportunity to conquer Silla.
Fujiwara Nakamaro (also known as Emi Oshikatsu), who was already the Taizheng Minister (Taishi), had long been unable to tolerate Silla being a nominal tributary country to Japan, but yet he tried to get rid of this relationship.
After the news of the Anshi Rebellion came, he sent his son to Taga Castle, a stronghold fighting against Ezo Kingdom (a small country in the north of Japan, in the area of today's Hokkaido), asking him to conquer Ezo Kingdom and conquer Silla.
The emperor ordered the Dazaifu to strengthen defenses and formulated a plan to conquer Silla.
Fujiwara Nakamaro (ie Emi Otsuki) took the opportunity to formulate a detailed plan for the conquest of Silla three years later, building 500 ships within three years; he also issued a conscription order to the Fuso vassal states, recruiting 40,000 sergeants, and fully advancing
Preparations for war.
Unexpectedly, after An Lushan raised his army, he did not overthrow the Tang Dynasty as expected.
After An Lushan died violently in Luoyang, the Tang army quickly recovered the two capitals, and An Lushan's rebellion was about to be put down.
If the Tang Dynasty were not in chaos, how could the Japanese have any chance of hegemony?
As a result, the Japanese state secretly colluded with Shi Siming to once again provoke civil strife in the Tang Dynasty.
This time, the Japanese were not willing to sit back and enjoy the gains. Instead, they hid behind the scenes and persuaded Bohai and Silla to jointly send troops to directly extend their black hands to the Tang Dynasty.
I thought that joining forces with Shi Siming's rebels this time, they would soon be able to encroach on the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Bai Fu came out and with the strong support of Li Guangbi, the deputy marshal of the Tang Dynasty's army, he defeated all the coalition forces one by one!
Unexpectedly, Bai Fu was so bold that he dared to lead the Tang Dynasty and Dashi warships across the East China Sea and invade the Japanese waters.
In the end, the big chess game played by the Japanese Emperor and Ise Shrine was completely disrupted.
Talking about Bai Fu, the Fuso Saint named Fujiwara Rika said angrily: "It's a pity that the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. If Bai Fu hadn't appeared out of thin air, we would have crossed the Yellow Sea eastward and captured the wealth of the Tang Dynasty.
It is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River."
Emperor Xiaoqian gently waved his folding fan and said: "Concerning these battles, Zen Master Dao Jing gave me a detailed report.
Speaking of this Bai Fu, it is really impressive that with only 5,000 Anxi cavalry, he annihilated all the 100,000 cavalrymen of Bohai County in Bailang Mountain.
Over the years, we have tried every means to deal with the two imperial tiger generals, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and we have really underestimated this young man.
Then again, with the help of Bai Fu, we used the Tang army to eliminate the main force of Bohai County and wipe out Silla's Xiongjin City and Jincheng Navy. This achievement was achieved without any effort.
After this battle, the military strength of Bohae County and Silla was greatly reduced, and they no longer posed a threat to Fusang.
In the next few days, we can take the opportunity to go north, cross the Tsushima Strait, send troops to land on the Korean and Liaodong peninsulas, and conquer Silla and Bohai.
Once we get rid of Silla and Bohai, the two most important problems, it will be just around the corner to take control of the Central Plains."
Fuso Saint Fujiwara Rika said: "I am willing to serve as your majesty's vanguard and go to the Tang Dynasty again to help Fuso expand its territory and become the lord of Middle-earth as soon as possible!"
This sentence was very much in line with the Emperor's wishes. Her face was filled with joy, she covered her mouth and nose with a folding fan, and laughed heartily.
After laughing, she said to Fujiwara Rika with a serious look on her face: "Baifu's martial arts are unparalleled in the world. If he goes to the Tang Dynasty again, how can you be his opponent? You must be careful."
Fuso Saint Fujiwara Rika sneered and said: "
When it comes to martial arts, I am only inferior to him in terms of skill.
Ise Jingu said that Sarutobi Sun and Moon was incompetent and useless, so he deposed Sarutobi Sun and Moon and transferred all his power to me.
Sarutobi Sun and Moon's aura is so domineering that it just makes up for my shortcomings.
Goodbye Bai Fu, I still don’t know who will win?!"
Emperor Xiaoqian waved to Fujiwara Rika and said with a smile: "Rika, come closer, I have something to tell you. If you go to Datang again, I will give you some treasures..."
Emperor Xiaoqian smiled enigmatically and gave instructions to Fujiwara Rika in her ear.
…
Mount Paektu is located in Liaodong. It was originally the territory of Goguryeo and is the sacred mountain of Goguryeo.
Baekdu Mountain is also a huge extinct volcano, and inside the crater is a vast lake. In winter, it is frozen three feet high, and the sky is full of ice and snow; in spring and summer, the blue waves are rippling, the scenery is beautiful, and the scenery is meandering. It is really a victory for summer vacation.
The ring-shaped peaks surrounding the crater are towering into the clouds, covered with snow all year round, and are mysterious and unpredictable. Even hunters and ginseng pickers dare not break in easily. According to old legends, there are immortals who live in seclusion and practice here. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy.
.
On this day, a horse team of dozens of people passed through the vast forest and appeared on the mountainside of Baekdu Mountain.
The cavalry was marching slowly in the primeval forest when they heard a roar and a loud arrow was shot on the tree trunk in front of the cavalry. The tail feathers trembled for a long time.
I heard someone shouting sternly: "This sacred mountain is such an important place. No one can enter without invitation. Any trespassers will be shot without mercy!"
The riders of the cavalry team turned over and dismounted upon hearing the sound. Surrounded by the crowd, a man in luxurious clothes walked to the front of the team, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "I am the king of the Silla King, and I have come to pay homage to the 'Sword Master' Mr. Fu.
Please help me report it."
After saying that, he placed a beautiful greeting card on the tray and raised it respectfully above his head.
After hearing this, several men in fine clothes appeared in the forest. They came to the Prince of Silla. After looking up and down, they took the invitation and said, "We are under the gate of Baekdu Mountain. Please wait a moment."
Don't be impatient, wait here for a moment, we will report it right away."
After saying that, the few people disappeared into the forest sea like the wind.
