The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1805
"Datang wants to exchange a place from you." Li Chengqian said.

"Where?" Kawabe Maro asked.

"The Shimane prefecture of your Japanese country." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"This is absolutely impossible!" When He Bian Ma Lu heard Li Chengqian say this, his reaction was more intense than before.

Where is Shimane Prefecture?It was on the largest island of the Wa Kingdom. If it was ceded to the Tang army, would the Wa Kingdom be in danger in the future?

Although it doesn't exist now, if that place is really given to Datang, then Datang can attack Wa Kingdom through there at any time, and there is no room for Wa Kingdom to react at all. Shimane Prefecture is too close to Asuka.

Where is the bird?It is the seat of the Japanese state today, where their emperor is. To give Tang Jun a place so close to Asuka, isn't this just digging a big hole for himself at the door of his house?If you accidentally go out, you can fall into the pit. No matter whether Tang Jun moves or not, the pit is there, as long as it is not shallow. Tang Jun will be like a sharp knife, and it will always be placed on the neck of the country, preventing the country from moving.

Moreover, today's Shimane Prefecture is a major silver-producing area in the entire Wa Kingdom. If such a treasure land is given to Datang, the Wa Kingdom will not be able to breathe for the next hundred years.

"The envoy means that there is nothing to discuss about this matter?" Li Chengqian asked: "I advise the envoy to think more about it. Now the entire Kyushu Island is under the control of Datang, and it is only a distance from your Shimane Prefecture. It's just facing each other across the sea. If Datang wants it, as long as there is no talk about the war between the two countries, then the war between Datang and Wa is still going on. Shin, it’s not impossible to take Shimane Prefecture, right?”

How can there be so many naval divisions in the Tang Dynasty? The total strength of the entire Woongjin is only about 20. Li Chengqian's claim of 20 naval divisions in the Tang Dynasty is just to scare Hebian Maro, but if Hebian Maro really believes Now, Datang needs to obtain the silver mines of the Japanese country through war. In this case, Datang's navy can't afford 20 yuan.

Isn't the Dengzhou Navy and Beisha City Navy led by Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui already in the tens of thousands?The big deal is to transfer troops from Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is an important base of the Datang Navy. After all, it is the place where the Datang's north-south sea transportation is to be communicated.

"I want to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Seeing Li Chengqian say this, Hebian Malu no longer wants to talk to the prince of the Tang Dynasty anymore. This prince is a rascal at all. Regarding the peace talks, he has been procrastinating until now, and finally showed his fangs. All the Kyushu islands in the country of Japan were taken away by the Tang Dynasty, and now he wants to have one on the largest territory in the country of the country of Japan. Moreover, this county is so close to Asuka, and there is also the largest silver mine in Wa country in this county.

"Nowadays, all the affairs of Datang are handled by this palace. The envoy should think about my proposal. If after a while, the navy of Datang takes Shimane Prefecture, then Datang can take care of it a little bit. There is no need to negotiate with the Wa Kingdom any more." Li Chengqian said: "Make a decision now, at least you Wa Kingdom can take back Kyushu Island, right?"

Li Chengqian's words almost gave Hebian Maru a knowing blow.

After all, there is nothing wrong with what people say.

Hebian Maru and the two envoys around him looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to Li Chengqian. This decision was too important, so important that the three of them, as the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, could no longer make a decision in this regard.

"Your Highness, the foreign ministers request that the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom be put on hold for the time being. As for the matter His Highness mentioned, it is too important. The three foreign ministers cannot make a decision. We still need to send a letter back to the Wa Kingdom. His Majesty the Emperor will make the decision. . " Hebian Maro said.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you have stayed in Chang'an for a long time, and it's not too short of a month or two." Li Chengqian said with a smile: "As for your request for a truce, I can agree to you, and I will send someone to Send a letter to General Liu, asking him to temporarily stop the attack on Wa."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Kawabe Maro kowtowed.

"There is not much time left for you." Li Chengqian said, and then looked at Xuan Shijing: "Xuanqing, for the delivery of the letter, you can go to three provinces."

Xuan Shijing arched his hands and said in response: "I obey the order."

The imperial edicts issued by the Tang court are also divided into different levels according to the priority of the matter. For example, Liu Rengui sent a letter to Chang'an, and the eight hundred miles was the highest level, while the imperial court sent letters outside. The same is true, up to [-] li expedited.

The second is six hundred miles, four hundred miles, two hundred miles.

Of course, in order to prevent the delay of Ma Lu by the river, this time Datang Chang'an will send the news out, and it will definitely not take eight hundred miles to send the news, just let the news go slowly on the road, and let those Japanese countries People know what it means to be nervous.

When Li Chengqian said this to Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing naturally understood the meaning, so he also responded to Li Chengqian.

Kawabe Maro can breathe a sigh of relief for the short-term peace between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, but it is still unknown what will happen in the future. If the news reaches Asuka, His Majesty the Emperor disagrees with Da Tang. Tang’s proposal, is it because the Tang Dynasty will continue to attack the Japanese country? Now that the war between the west of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo has ended, the Tang Dynasty has gained a lot of benefits from Tubo, and even destroyed Silla. The wealth of the whole country of Silla They all fell into the pockets of Datang, and then Datang has enough energy to dispatch troops to deal with Japan
When he left Xuanzheng Hall, Kawabe Maro thought a lot, but when he came back to his senses, he felt that besides sending a letter to Asuka, the most important thing he should do was to find a chance to meet this Xuan Shijing .

I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty put a lot of emphasis on this Duke of Jinyang County. Now it seems that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty relies heavily on him. Otherwise, Xuan Shijing would not be the only minister in the Xuanzheng Palace. up.

If he could follow the minister's path, wouldn't the negotiations between Datang and Wa be easier?Or, without paying such a big price.

If Li Chengqian knew that Hebian Malu thought so, he would be happy to hand over the negotiation to Xuan Shijing. People from the Wa country talked with Xuan Shijing, probably because they felt that Li Chengqian wanted too little.
After Hebian Maru and the other two Japanese envoys left, Li Chengqian and Xuan Shijing did not immediately leave Xuanzheng Hall to meet His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun.

"As for the news, how do you plan to give it?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.
