Li Hong continued to lie on the deck leisurely and contentedly. In his ears, Princess Dai Lai wanted to prove that Shikoku and Kyushu were originally their lands. She stood next to Li Hong like a lunatic and recited the history of their Japanese country. Li Hong and others understood that the sovereignty of Shikoku and Kyushu belonged to Japan.
But someone lying on the deck was already in a state of trance. He was thinking hard in his mind about how much benefit the Japs got from the Manchus in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894.
The real benefit is that the Qing Dynasty paid the little devil 230 million taels of silver as compensation, which was the Qing Dynasty's fiscal revenue for three years.
Because of the 230 million taels of silver, the little devil suddenly made another qualitative leap in the military, and thus became one of the most powerful countries in Asia and even the world.
In addition to the 230 million taels of silver, the ships, weapons, food, etc. that were plundered amounted to nearly 100 million taels of silver.
Coupled with some treaty port policies that are beneficial to the little devil merchants, as well as compensation for ceding land, as well as the 230 million li of money, and the unnecessary "redemption fee" of 30 million taels of silver, it makes the little devil even more shameless. And despicable, used to the extreme and extreme.
Therefore, at this moment, no matter how much Princess Dalai buzzed in his ears like a fly, she could not dispel Li Hong's determination to blackmail the Japanese country for a large sum of money.
As for the so-called Shikoku and Kyushu, he, Li Hong, planned to follow the example of the little devil back then, asking the Japanese to pay for the land redemption fee, and then sign an agreement recognizing that the Shikoku and Kyushu were the territories of the Tang Dynasty and leasing them to them. .
Thinking of someone here, lying on the deck, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously. This smile that was very familiar to Bai Chun, Wu Mei and others had been deeply planted in the heart of Princess Dalai.
So when she looked at the silent Prince of the Tang Dynasty, such a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, she was so frightened that the hairs on his body almost stood up. Through these days of observation, she vaguely understood that as long as this smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Then someone will definitely be unlucky.
Looking at that smile, the restless Princess Dalai thought of her father inexplicably. Could it be... could the next unlucky one really be her father
Five warships slowly emerged from the sea level. Standing on the beach and looking towards the sea, the five warships with full sails seemed to be slowly growing out of the sea.
Under the frightened, shocked and uneasy expressions of Dahairen, Murakuni Nanyi, Hejibe Lord and other officials and generals of Japan, as well as in the awe of the people of Japan, five warships slowly sailed over from the sea and gradually took them away. His true appearance was all exposed to the eyes of Japanese subjects.
Kick, kick, kick... Dahairen took several steps back in disbelief before being hurriedly supported by his courtier with quick eyes and quick hands.
"This is impossible? How is it possible? Did the two hundred warships disappear overnight? Was the entire army wiped out? How is this possible? Why do they appear in our eyes? Why?" The Emperor of Japan, Kaito, Loneliness and disbelief were written on his face. Are the two hundred warships just gone? Just disappeared without a trace!
"Your Majesty, now... now is not the time to be doubtful. Their appearance heralds our defeat or even... the whole army..." He said to Mr. Baibu at the end, unwilling to look at those Datang warships anymore. They were like Like demons, they show their ruthlessness and power in front of them!
It hit their hearts again and again, whipping their souls, making them unwilling and afraid to look at those battleships from the bottom of their hearts.
Five warships slowly stopped and sailed not far from Hakata Port. One Mengchong was put down, and several officials and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were slowly walking up to Mengchong.
The faces of Dahairen, Cunguo Nanyi, and Baibujun were ashen. At this moment, all the hope in their hearts had vanished into smoke and disappeared into the sea.
Li Hong dried the handwriting, looked at the several treaties he listed with satisfaction, and then carefully handed it to Cui Zhibian.
In the middle, Princess Dalai reached out several times to grab the treaty in Li Hong's hand, but Li Hong avoided it vigilantly. At this moment, she watched Cui Zhibian put away the treaty, and then slowly walked towards Mengchong. , and my heart slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Compensation of twenty-three million taels of silver! Can be paid in four installments.
The Datang Navy took over the three ports of Hakata Port, Namba Port, and Kagoshima Port. Due to the good neighborliness and friendship between the two countries and mutual respect and understanding over the years, the Datang Navy was responsible for protecting the safety of Japanese fishermen and merchant ships at sea.
The prerequisite is that the Datang Navy stationed in Sangang needs to pay a protection fee of 1.5 million taels of silver every year.
Cui Zhibian took advantage of Mengchong and quickly went ashore. After confirming the identity of Dahairen, he solemnly handed the treaty in his hand to Dahairen.
"You are committing a crime, do you know that? My father will never agree to this!" Princess Dalai, with a pale face, snatched the telescope from Li Hong's hand and carefully looked at the twitching expression on Dahai Ren's face.
In these days, I have not seen my father, and I have not sent any message to my father. I wonder if my father thinks that he is dead.
"You don't have to accept it. It doesn't matter. Hai Dongqing has already flown back to Baekje. If you don't agree, more navy from the Tang Dynasty will come over soon. Then it won't just be a siege. We will serve as kings." "Master, go ashore and save the people from the dire straits..." Li Hong held a large loudspeaker in his hand to facilitate communication with the Japanese people.
Princess Dalai looked at Dahairen's hands trembling, and her twitching face became paler and paler, and then flushed. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out from her mouth, and suddenly there were more words on the treaty book. A touch of weirdness and blood red!
"I, the Dahairen, will not agree to this!" Dahairen pushed away the handkerchief handed over by He Yibujun, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and roared while looking at the Tang Dynasty warship in the middle.
Li Hong listened carefully with his ears raised, but he still couldn't hear clearly what Dahairen said, but judging from his expression, it was obvious that it was not a good thing.
"You see, your father was so moved. He was so angry that he vomited blood when he saw my treaty that was so considerate of others. But what exactly was he thanking me for?" Li Hong chuckled and looked at the silver teeth biting the seductive red. Lips, without making a sound, looked coldly at Princess Dalai on the shore and muttered.
"My father will not agree. Mr. Cui cannot convince my father. I know his character very well. Please let me get off the boat and go ashore to convince my father." Princess Dalai whispered in her ear. Fa, looked at Li Hong calmly and said.
"Go ahead, I don't expect you to convince your father, but I, Datang, have always been kind-hearted. You are of no use to me now, so I can let you go." Li Hong took the hand with a half-smile. He passed the telescope in Princess Dalai's hand and signaled that he could not send Princess Dalai off the ship.
"You...really let me go?" Princess Dalai was shocked and looked stunned. She didn't expect that this hateful person was so easy to talk to and let her go so easily. Was there some deception in it
Li Hong looked at her in surprise, was stunned for a moment and said, "When did I not allow you to leave?"
Princess Dalai was once again stunned. Yes, this person has never imprisoned her. She has always been free to move and has never been restricted by anything. And from the beginning to the end, she has never said that she will not be allowed to leave. of!
As for myself, these days, I have been treating myself as a prisoner, thinking that I was captured by him and already his personal property. I actually consciously abide by the so-called captive rules. It is simply... It is simply ridiculous. .
Princess Dalai looked at Li Hong's calm face quietly, her beautiful eyes flashing with responsible emotions, just like her heart was full of mixed emotions at the moment, and she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree, Hairen. Your nephew, Prince Otomo, who was the last emperor and the eldest son of your brother, Emperor Tenchi, was forced to death by you just two years ago. I guess there are still many remaining ministers. I hope to follow them. So if you don't agree, I don't mind spending three to five years supporting another emperor." Li Hong held a loudspeaker, looked at Cui Zhibian and shook his head helplessly, and shouted to the shore. .
I don’t know if Dahairen were frightened by Li Hong’s words, but the Dalai princess who had just prepared to board Mengchong was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground after hearing Li Hong’s words. This shameless person, He even knew everything about what happened in the royal family!
"We don't have that much money to give you. You are committing robbery! I want to write to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As a superior country, you should not bully our small country like this!" The tongue man shouted on behalf of the people from the sea.
"Okay, you go and write a letter, but I warn you, if you write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we will no longer rent the Four Kingdoms and Jiuzhou to you to help us govern. We will establish another monarch in the Zhuzi Kingdom. If you dare in the future To invade the Chikushi Kingdom is to go against me, the Tang Dynasty! We will fight to the end for our vassal country! "The righteous words spoken by someone made the princess of Dalai want to bite her tongue. Break.
These things were all unintentionally tricked by him when he was on the ship. For example, the Chikushi Kingdom was not very obedient to the rule of their father, and they still cared about the rule of Prince Otomo and Emperor Tenchi.
Including Shikoku Island, they are not very loyal to their father now. They are only forced to surrender due to fear of force.
After all, it had only been less than two years since his father ascended the throne, and it was his father who forced Prince Otomo to hang himself. The tribes in Shikoku and Kyushu did not quite agree with his father, and had mixed reviews and criticisms.
The reason why I took on the responsibility of building the Saigu Palace was to clear up these shameful things for my father, and to show all places and forces that my father was a monarch who respected Amaterasu and was recognized by God.
Similarly, when her father appointed her as Saio, she also announced to the world that she was a princess attached to Amaterasu. The purpose was to rectify her father's legitimate name.
But these royal secrets were all caused by that shameless person that day. Suddenly, he was kind enough to sit with me on the deck and watch the sunset. He asked me questions as if it was nothing, and he answered unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, this shameless man had already plotted against himself and his father.
