Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1777 Soldiers Arrive at Sado
Jin Famin was still in a daze, did he think that the Marquis of Tang Dynasty was too enthusiastic?I just nagged a little bit about the proliferation of pirates on Tsushima Island, so I will send troops to wipe them out for Silla?

Worthy of being an ally, you are so generous!

Silla has been coveting Tsushima Island for a long time, but there are various forces entrenched on the island, and it is regarded as one of the "Big Eight Islands" by Japan, so it has never dared to use troops on it.

As a result, Fang Jun just pointed at the map, and made the decision to attack Ma Guo lightly, and Jin Famin was very envious of the momentum of slamming Fang Qiu while talking and laughing...

A good man should be like this!
At the same time, he also saw the arrogance and grandeur of the Tang people!
As the kingdom of heaven that looks down on the world, Datang has the courage to go to war against anyone who doesn't like it. Not only is it undefeated on the road, but even on the sea, it can still travel thousands of miles to carry out thunderous battles. strike!

This is a great country...

Envious and jealous at the same time, Jin Famin secretly made up his mind that after returning home, he must persuade Queen Zhende to keep close contact with Datang and never turn against each other.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. I will remember it. After returning to Silla, I will immediately write a letter to His Majesty, asking the Tang Dynasty to attack Tsushima."

Jin Famin quickly agreed.

Where can I find such good things as Tang Jun helping to occupy the land?
Fang Jun put down his teacup, touched his ears suddenly, and asked suspiciously, "Why do your ears feel hot all of a sudden, and your eyelids keep twitching?"

Su Dingfang saw that his complexion was rosy, and he didn't seem to be suffering from the wind and cold, so he smiled and said: "As the saying goes, 'the left eye jumps into wealth and the right eye jumps into disaster', which eye did Lord Hou jump into?"

Fang Jun blinked and said, "Both dance together..."

*****
The fleet quickly sailed out of the strait and sailed north along the edge of the southern land.

The sea area in this area is densely covered with hidden reefs, and it would be very difficult for people like Jin Famin who traveled between Silla and Wa Kingdom in the family fleet since childhood, to sail safely.Of course, there are also officers in the navy who have repeatedly traveled to Ezo Island to transport weapons and food, but although these people are familiar with the waterway, they are far inferior to Jin Famin.

That is the internal affairs of the Wa country.

This trip, Fang Jun is not just as simple as occupying an island...

The sea is breezy and the waves are gentle, but the speed of the fleet is not fast.

There are many people on the warships following the flagship, and countless sailors come and go between the deck and the cabin from time to time, sometimes holding pieces of pennies in their hands to measure the water depth, and some people are recording with blueprints Water depth, reef distribution and other hydrological conditions.

Busy and rigorous, Jin Famin was amazed.

This is the invincible navy owned by the world's most powerful empire across the seven seas. Everywhere they go, they never forget to detect and record the hydrological conditions in detail, constantly explore new waterways, and open up every area that has never been set foot.

Because in the eyes of Tang Jun, the sea is boundless, but every sea area must be in their hands, no matter how far away they are, they are confident that they will come back here one day.

This is derived from the self-confidence and greed of a powerful country. Silla is still struggling in the cracks between Baekje and Goguryeo, and will never have such vision and courage...

Fang Jun stood in front of the window, overlooking the northern land.

The weather was clear at this time, looking at the faintly visible undulating outline of the land, Fang Jun stood upright for a long time without saying a word.

After leaving the Tsushima Strait, the land to the south is Shimonoseki, where the Chunfan Tower is located.

Anyone who is Chinese, no one knows Chunfan Tower.

It was here that Li Hongzhang signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" on behalf of the Qing court, which made every Chinese feel heartbroken, ceded the Liaodong Peninsula, ceded Taiwan, and paid [-] million taels of silver in compensation.It was with this indemnity that Japan laid its domestic industrial foundation in one fell swoop, became an emerging industrial power, and began to embark on the path of military aggression and plunder with all its might.

Many people in later generations admired the Japanese country, thinking that they were more civilized and developed, but they didn't know that everything that seemed glamorous was built on the blood and tears of the Chinese people. Where did the so-called industrial power come from without knocking the bones and sucking the marrow from the Chinese?

This is the disgrace of China, and it is the disgrace of Li Hongzhang's life. It is really unfair for future generations to throw this huge black pot on Li Hongzhang's head.

History has its own judgment on Li Hongzhang's life and events (note, not a history book).

In such an era and within such a system, I am afraid that no one can do better than Li Hongzhang. He should not be reviled by future generations, but should be remembered and respected.

Anyway, Fang Jun admired him very much. Strongly stimulated by the signing of Maguan, Li Hongzhang vowed to "not live up to the sun for the rest of his life."Afterwards, he traveled to Europe and the United States via Yokohama, and needed to change ships at that time.Since the ferry boat was a Japanese boat, I refused to get on it. In the end, I had no choice but to set up a wooden board between the two ships to let it hobble past...

When Li Hongzhang was ordered by his father to go to Beijing to take the exam, he was extremely excited and wrote the poem "My husband holds Wu hook with only one hand, and his spirit is higher than Baichilou. Who wrote the history in 1 years? I want to be a marquis eight thousand miles away", full of ambition , with arrogance.But when he was dying, what he wrote was "Lao Lao's chariot and horse did not leave the saddle, and he knew that he would die before the incident. In the past 300 years, he has hurt the country's progress, and he has hanged people eight thousand miles away..."

The honor and disgrace of a lifetime will be wasted in the end.

Fang Junqiang suppressed the urge to land on the shore, pointed to the land in the distance and said: "Mark this place on the chart, and if you have free time in the future, you will definitely visit here."

His own document and assistant officer stepped forward and marked it on the chart.

Jin Famin at the side was at a loss, thinking to himself that in such a desolate place, there are at most one or two fishing villages, all of which are poor people, so what's the fun of visiting?This Marquis of the Tang Dynasty is a high-ranking nobleman, but his behavior is strange and strange, which is really confusing...

After the fleet traveled along the channel close to the land for half a day, there were more and more submerged reefs on the channel, and the sailing became more and more dangerous, so they had to sail away from the land.

Until the next morning, the fleet sailed slowly against the rising sun, and a huge island appeared in front of it...

Jin Famin came out of the cabin in a daze, yawned and saw Fang Jun standing in front of the window with a straight figure, he couldn't help secretly admiring this man's energy, for such a long distance sea voyage, he didn't seem to have a trace The slightest bit of lethargy.

He came behind Fang Jun, looked around longingly, then looked at the chart on the wall, and said: "The name of this island is Sado, which is the territory of the Yue Kingdom. The island is barren. There are several silver mines. The output is not large. Criminals are exiled here."

Fang Jun squinted his eyes and thought: Not much production?hehe……

Far away from Sado Island, the fleet slowly slowed down and lowered their sails.

Su Dingfang came in from outside the cabin, glanced at Jin Famin, and said, "Master Hou, there was a sampan floating on the sea just now, and I will send people to gather it up and save a few miners who claim to be Ainu people. A few days ago, the slaves of the Ainu rioted and fought with the Japanese soldiers guarding the island, and both sides suffered heavy casualties."

Fang Jundao: "Sado is not the land of the Tang Dynasty, and Eizu is not a subject of the Tang Dynasty. Whoever dies and who lives, what has it to do with me? We are here to submit the letter of credence to the country of Liugui under the order of His Majesty the Emperor. , don’t cause trouble.”

Jin Famin looked stunned. Although you always said that the destination of this voyage was the country of Ryuki in the north of the Shaohai, but looking at the densely packed markings on the chart, it is clear that Sado Island is also the top priority. Ah, why did the Ainu slaves riot when they first arrived here?
This is too coincidental...

Su Dingfang did not leave, and said: "The general will know of course, but according to what those Aizu people said, there were Tang people on the island who went to Aizu Island to do business after being captured and looted by the Japanese and imprisoned in a mine. In spite of the cruelty, several people were killed by Japanese soldiers during the riot.”

Fang Jun raised his eyebrows thickly: "Is there such a thing?"

Su Dingfang said: "At the end of the day, I will torture several Ainu people separately, and all the answers I get are the same, so it is true."

Fang Jun slapped the table and said angrily: "The Japanese are arrogant, how dare they enslave the Tang people? Immediately command the fleet to land on the island, and quickly check it out. It doesn't matter if he is a Japanese or an Ainu, if he really dares to enslave and torture and kill the Tang people, he will definitely be killed." If you are not good, let it go!"

"Here!"

Su Dingfang strode away, and then heard shouts on the deck, the sails were raised high again, and the huge fleet split the waves and sailed straight to Sado Island.

Fang Jun turned and sat on the side of the table, took a sip of tea, and said angrily: "The Japanese are the most barbaric. Last time there was an incident of Japanese envoys killing innocent people in Chang'an. Now they dare to plunder and enslave the Tang people to mine mountains. Unforgivable!"

Jin Famin nodded again and again. He also felt the same about the barbarism and tyranny of the Japanese. Both Silla and Baekje suffered from the Japanese.

Just looking at Fang Jun's expression, I don't know why I always feel obedient...
