Chapter 296 Weight Nagasaki
The fleet encountered a storm a hundred miles south of Danzhou. Although this kind of storm was nothing to the sea ships of the Song Dynasty, the strong winds and huge waves could not hurt the sturdy ships at all.

But the violent turbulence and fear still made everyone walk around the gate of the underworld, allowing them to truly experience the power of the sea. The sea gave everyone a ruthless blow, making everyone have a sense of awe for this journey. feel.

At dawn, the storm finally stopped. Jupe sat on the deck in the cabin with her back leaning against the wall of the ship. Her face was extremely pale and her lips had no color. It's calm now, and she hasn't calmed down yet.

"Sister Jian, I won't go to sea if you kill me!" Zhu Pei said weakly.

Jianmeizi's situation is much better than hers. Although she is also going out to sea for the first time, she is very skilled in martial arts and can adjust herself quickly. She is also a little bit embarrassed, but compared to Zhu Pei who cried and screamed all night, she basically kept calm .

Jian Meizi sat cross-legged for an hour, adjusted her breath to restore her body, and basically returned to normal. She stood up and smiled, "I'll go out and have a look. You'd better sleep for a while to recover your strength."

Jian Meizi walked out quickly, only to hear Zhu Pei groaning softly from behind, "I can't sleep!"

After going out for a while, Jian Meizi ran out again, "Ape, come out and have a look."

"Look at what?"

"Watch the sunrise, it's simply magnificent."

"What's so nice about a sunrise?"

Having said that, Zhu Pei still struggled to stand up, walked out of the cabin while leaning on the wall of the ship, and many people walked out of the cabin like her. Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them and couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.

I saw a huge round of sun rising from the eastern sea, and there was still a thin layer of milky white mist like a veil floating on the sea. Above the mist, the sky was clear and blue, and the spherical crimson sun As it rose slowly, the red light below it gradually turned into golden yellow, bursting out in an instant.

The entire sky was dyed golden in an instant, and the mist was swept away. The sea was full of golden light, and the boats and everyone were bathed in the golden light, as if they were in a fairyland. Be mesmerized by the spectacular sunrise.

The fleet rested in Danzhou for two days, then crossed the strait, and continued along the west of the Japanese island to Kunzhou in the north.

Just a few days after the fleet crossed the strait and headed north, a fleet from the east of Japan arrived at Nagasaki Port. Two thousand Song troops directly occupied Nagasaki and took over Nagasaki's defense.

The news quickly spread to the capital, Heianjing, as if it had grown wings.

It has been several days since Yu Xiaonian arrived in Ping'an capital. Since he is not a state envoy after all, and the Japanese court doesn't pay much attention to him, an official who doesn't know his position explained to him lightly that Hirano Yoshi's attack on the Song army was his personal behavior, and that he had nothing to do with Japan. Country is irrelevant.

Then he left Yu Xiaonian aside and ignored him.

This afternoon, Yu Xiaonian had just returned to the post after taking a walk, when a follower ran out and said, "Officer, the emperor's special envoy is here, please enter the palace immediately, they are summoned by the emperor!"

Yu Xiaonian smiled faintly, and said to his followers: "Pack up our things, we are going back to Kunzhou!"

The entourage was puzzled, but he followed the order and went back to pack his things.

At this time, the emperor's envoy ran out. Yu Xiaonian had seen this person. It was the emperor's special envoy Akihara Youemon who was sent to Kunzhou last year.

He anxiously said: "Why did Mr. Yu leave?"

Yu Xiaonian spread his hands and said with a smile: "My mission is over, I should have left long ago, but I just went around for a few days and looked at the buildings in Heianjing, now I should go."

Akihara Youemon hastily apologized: "Before we neglected Mr. Yu, we apologize to Mr. His Majesty the Emperor invited Mr. into the palace, please be sure to enter the palace with me!"

Yu Xiaonian sneered and said: "Speaking of which, it should be Regent Guan Bai Fujiwara Yorimichi who summoned me!"

"Fujiwara Shoseki is also in the palace, and he will meet Mr. Yu with His Majesty the Emperor!"

When Yu Xiaonian heard that the regent Guan Bai and the Emperor, who held the real power, received him at the same time, he knew that he could go along, so he said lightly: "I am the eighth-rank Chengshilang of the Song Dynasty, you can call me Yu Chengshi!"

"Understood, ask Yu Chengshi to follow me into the palace!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

In the Crane Hall of the Peace Palace, Regent Bai Fujiwara Yoritoshi sat in the main hall, his face livid with anger. He had no idea that Hirano Kichi led an army to attack the Song Army in Ezo.

It was not until the news that Nagasaki was occupied by the Song army came, and after repeated questioning by him, the Emperor Kijin reluctantly told him the general process of the matter.

This news made him furious. Yuan Laiyi actually colluded with the emperor in private and instigated Hirano Kichi to attack the Song army. How dare he hide such a major event that shakes the country.

Minamoto's father, Minamoto Yoshinobu, was originally a retainer of the Fujiwara family. Now the retainer wants to rebel and is ambitious to replace the master. How can he allow it?
For a moment, Fujiwara Yoritsu was filled with murderous intent.

At this time, the brother who was sitting behind him, the right minister and the left guard general Fujiwara Komichi said in a low voice: "Qinghe Genji obviously wanted to replace the Hirano family to occupy Nagasaki, but they didn't expect the Song army to attack and occupied Nagasaki first. , to shatter their plan, brother, this is actually a good thing!"

Fujiwara Yoritoshi understands the meaning of his brother. Nagasaki is an important source of income for Japan, and it is the fattest piece of meat in Japan. Once it is swallowed by the Qinghe Genji family, it will greatly strengthen the power of the Minamoto family, and it will be very difficult for the Fujiwara family to rule. unfavorable.

Thanks to the occupation of Nagasaki by the Song army, the conspiracy of the Genji family became clear, and Nagasaki was lucky not to fall into the hands of the Genji family.

In fact, every family wants to swallow this piece of meat from Nagasaki. Now that the Hirano family has been wiped out, the Song army will not occupy Nagasaki for a long time. It is hard to say whose mouth this piece of fat will eventually fall into.

If the Fujiwara family can control Nagasaki because of this, it will indeed be a blessing in disguise.

Fujiwara Yoritotsu suddenly thought of a proverb in the Central Plains Dynasty, "The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows." Can he become this oriole?
The annoyance in Fujiwara Yorimichi's heart is still there, but there is also a little more expectation deep in his heart.

At this time, a servant came to report, "The envoy of the Song Dynasty has arrived!"

Fujiwara Yoritsu nodded slightly, "Ask him to come in, and then notify His Majesty the Emperor!"

Although the other party is not a national envoy, but Nagasaki has been occupied by them, the other party is naturally more important than the national envoy, and needs to be received by the Emperor and Guan Bai in person.

Of course, there is definitely no national ceremony, but neither party pays much attention to etiquette, they pay more attention to practical interests.

After a while, Yu Xiaonian walked into the Immortal Crane Hall quickly, and Fujiwara Yoritsu hurriedly greeted him, and said with an apologetic face: "The officials below are ineffective in their work and did not report my envoy's arrival. They have really neglected your envoy, and I cannot be more apologetic!"

Yu Xiaonian smiled lightly, and said in fluent Japanese: "Fujiwara Shuguan has a lot of opportunities every day, and it is understandable that there are things that cannot be taken into account. I hope that today's meeting will be satisfactory to all three parties!"

Yu Xiaonian had a pun in his words, saying that all three parties could be satisfied. Obviously, he knew very well that the internal conflicts in the Japanese court had become increasingly acute.

Fujiwara Yorimichi didn't care, and immediately introduced him to his brother Fujiwara Gyotsu.

Yu Xiaonian heard from Fan Ning that this Fujiwara Gyotsu is the number two figure in the Fujiwara family, and he is likely to succeed his elder brother as regent Guanbai in the future, so Yu Xiaonian did not despise him and was quite polite to him.

The three of them sat down, and a servant served them tea. The Japanese worshiped the culture of the Song Dynasty very much, including the tea culture. The Japanese upper class also followed the example of the Song Dynasty. imported.

Fujiwara Yoritsu slightly bowed and said: "I just heard that Hirano Yoshi led the army to attack your army today, which made me very angry. Japan has always respected the Song Dynasty and never had the slightest thought of fighting. I can tell your envoy responsibly. The Japanese court never knew about Hirano Yoshi’s matter, and he did it without authorization.”

At this time, Yu Xiaonian found that there was an extra person behind the curtain above the main hall. It should be that their emperor came, but they did not participate in the negotiation.

Emperor Kiinin did arrive without a sound, and his mood was as complicated as the current situation. Only then did he realize that he had underestimated the wrist of the leader of the Song Army.

The Song army not only wiped out Hirano Kichi, but also took advantage of this to make trouble. They came to raise their troops to question their crimes, and at the same time occupied Nagasaki, which made their plan come to nothing. Instead, Fujiwara Yoritsu seized the opportunity and forcibly intervened.

Now Minamoto is leading the army to fight against the rebels of the Mutsu Kingdom Abe Yoritoki, and has no time to take care of Nagasaki. Originally, his uncle Minamoto took over Nagasaki. Now the Song army occupies Nagasaki, and the Genji family's desire to capture Nagasaki It also fell through, and maybe the Fujiwara family would also take the opportunity to get involved in Nagasaki.

Such an ending filled Emperor Kihito with frustration.

However, Fujiwara Yorimichi is not only his uncle, but also his father-in-law. Even if he really wanted to take Nagasaki, Kijin would not dare to object. After all, the power of the imperial court is in the hands of the Fujiwara family, and he, the emperor, is just a puppet unwilling to be lonely. .

At this time, Yu Xiaonian said solemnly: "Since the actions of Hirano Yoshi and his army have nothing to do with the Japanese court, and the Japanese court does not need to bear any responsibility, then the Song army's occupation of Nagasaki should have nothing to do with the Japanese court. I should go to the Hirano family to settle the matter." The bill is right!"

These words are very sharp. Since the Japanese court does not recognize the Hizen guardian and Nagasaki lord Hirano Yoshi’s deeds as representing Japan, then Nagasaki and even the Hizen country cannot belong to the Japanese court. It is just and fair for the Song army to occupy it.

Fujiwara Yoritsu smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that the other party would say this, so he had to apologize: "Nagasaki and Hizen Kingdom are both part of Japan, but the place is far away, and Hiranoji implements dictatorship and is not under the control of the imperial court.

What we mean is that Yoshi Hirano's surprise attack on the Song army was his own behavior, and the court was not aware of it. Of course, the court was also responsible for misconduct. For this reason, I once again deeply apologize for the attack on your army! "

After finishing speaking, he bent down and bowed deeply to Yu Xiaonian.

Yu Xiaonian's face softened slightly, and he said again: "In this case, let's talk about how to solve this crisis! We can withdraw our troops from Nagasaki, but we hope to see your country's sincerity!"

Fujiwara Yorimichi and his brother Fujiwara Gyomichi looked at each other, they actually knew very well what the other wanted?
Ezo itself does not belong to Japan, and Japan does not care about this kind of cold barbarian land, but it is too close to Japan. The Song Dynasty garrison will pose a threat to Japan. If this threat can be resolved, then the Song Dynasty will take Ezo They are not unacceptable.

After pondering for a long time, Fujiwara Yorimichi said slowly: "We can negotiate the ownership of Ezo Land."

After finishing speaking, he fell silent, waiting for another person's reply. After a long time, Emperor Kiinin said in his characteristic soft voice: "I agree to negotiate!"
