Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 718 Landing, lane separation

Port of Hakata, Naruto Tsu (take a tissue?)...cough cough!
The envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty set off from this port to the Central Plains.

It is precisely because of this reason that they will have such a reaction.

The fleet was getting closer and closer, and the garrison at Hakata Port finally saw the flag on the ship clearly. It was not the flag of the Japanese country!
That is the banner of Datang! ! !
The country of Wa is one of the few, and since it was able to sail, it began to approach the nearest land of the Central Plains. The reason why it can accurately find the Central Plains Dynasty may be that someone once left a text.

In recent years, the Great Sui and the Great Tang have been the main diplomatic empires of the Wa Kingdom, and the garrison at Hakata Port has long kept the banner of the Great Tang firmly in mind.

What's more, Datang's mining team came here before, how could they not remember Datang's flag?
However, this has always been the country of Wa sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty. When did people from the Tang Dynasty come to the country of Wa?

Moreover, before this, there was no rumor that Datang was coming!

Regarding this point, I have to ask the envoy of the Datang Mission—Ding Yi!

"Ding Zhengshi, the country of Wa didn't make any preparations. This is an embarrassment to the court!" Deputy Lu, standing on the deck with a sad face, sighed a step behind.

Ding Yi looked excitedly at the long-lost land, and explained: "This time, the envoy is here to question the Wa country, so let them prepare in advance? Besides, there is no one to welcome you. Don't you want to get off the ship? Old Lu, I didn't expect you to be such a person who likes to show off!"

These days on the boat, he was tired of looking at that beauty Liu Qingqing all day long, so out of boredom, he could only tease this cute old man Lu. The relationship between the two parties was no longer as simple as superior and inferior.

"Hey! Envoy Ding Zheng said carefully, the old man has been innocent all his life, when did he have such a special hobby! It's just that no one welcomes him, after all, he lost face to Datang." Old man Lu has long been used to his joking behavior , Mostly don't care much about his jokes, unless it involves the court or something that cannot be touched.

"That's enough, that's enough! I know that Datang's face is the most important thing! The face project must be done on the bright side!" Ding Yi is most afraid that this old man will be serious. Once he is serious, he will never turn back!

Thinking about the days of drifting at sea, because of the speed of the ship, the old man almost fell ill in the control room. In the end, Ding Yi conceded first, and the old man went back to the room to rest in peace.

"Hey! Envoy Ding Zheng should pay more attention. Although the old man is not the kind of gossip, there are many people in the envoy, so it would be bad for His Majesty to have doubts about you!" Old man Lu knew that he advised Not Ding Yi, turned his head and reminded with concern.

Ding Yi didn't say anything to thank, some things are better to keep in mind than to say.He leaned on the fence, looked at Bodo Port, and said: "Vice Envoy Lu, after landing, I will leave it to you to handle all the envoy matters! After I land, I will take people to the mine. Don't be polite to them. Let them go." They know the anger of the Tang court, so they can pay attention to it and restrain themselves!"

This time Deputy Envoy Lu didn't make any further excuses. Regarding this arrangement, he had received the emperor's password when he was still in Chang'an. Ding Yi listened to him before arriving in Wa Kingdom.

Furthermore, as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, he also felt deeply disgusted by the Japanese country's practice of doing things in the dark. He really wanted to see how this person who caused the Guanlong gentry to lose power completely. How awesome!

The fleet slowly approached the shore, but because the draft of steam ships was deep, and Hakata Port was full of wooden ships, they could only stay in the deep water of the port.

The reaction speed of the garrison in Hakata Port was not satisfactory, and in the end Datang sent someone to ask them to send a few wooden boats over, so that the mission was able to land.

After disembarking, the most senior officials of Bodo Port have been waiting here humbly, but Ding Yi did not show up, he directly led Liu Qingqing, Xiao Jian, Liu Yi, spies and Tiandilou people, and two hundred Tiandilou soldiers followed Behind the mission, ready to leave at any time.

There are many people in the port, so each of the Heaven's Punishment Army carried a wooden box and put all their firearms in it.

When they were in Silla, they didn't go ashore at all, they stayed on the boat and waited.

The matter of docking was easy for Deputy Envoy Lu, but the Japanese official who instructed him was dizzy.

It took half an hour before the mission left the port and entered the residential area of ​​Hakata Port.

At night, Ding Yi went to see Deputy Envoy Lu once, arranged some things, and left with the team in the early morning.

……

"Envoy Lu, the mission seems to be missing some people?" The Japanese official asked tentatively. He didn't dare to question. Last year it was a low-level official from the Tang Dynasty. He had to treat him well. Now this is a real high-ranking official , How dare he be negligent.

The interpreter passed these words to Deputy Envoy Lu, and the old man frowned, and said in a cold voice, "Don't tell me you have to explain to the Wa Kingdom what the Tang Dynasty did?"

The interpreter had just finished translating his words, and he said again: "Those are mine workers who are accompanying this time, they are not on the same path as the mission, so leave first!"

The reason why he explained this was to reassure the other party. Although the other party would definitely investigate, he would not be as worried as before.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the officials of the Wa Kingdom immediately smiled flatteringly and said, "The Celestial Dynasty has always been a model for our Wa Kingdom to learn from! Envoy of Lu, when will you leave to meet the Emperor?"

Hearing the title of 'emperor', Deputy Envoy Lu felt very awkward. My Tang monarch is only honored as emperor. How confident and courageous is your Japanese country? The monarch dares to call himself the emperor!
"When the people from your country arrive, the envoy will go there!" This is basic etiquette. It is impossible for him to go to the Emperor of Japan without saying a word. How can Datang with such a status catch up with him?
Wa country... Well, when they were Emperor Yang of Sui, an envoy handed over a letter of credence to Yang Guang, writing: The emperor sent a letter to the place where the sun rises, and the emperor is safe when the sun is nowhere...

This incident made Yang Guang angry at the time. After more than 300 years, the unified dynasty of the Central Plains was so humiliated. If the conditions did not allow it, Yang Guang would have fought in Japan long ago!
Due to conditional constraints, Yang Guang could only laugh it off.Since then, the diplomacy between the Central Plains and Wa has been interrupted.

It wasn't until the founding of the Tang Dynasty that they began to establish diplomacy again. At the beginning, the Wa Kingdom still maintained its original attitude towards the Sui Dynasty. It was only when they saw the power of the Tang Dynasty that they became obedient!
This is because they are not well-behaved. Datang was bullied by the East Turks, and the East Turks were wiped out four years later.Wanting to return the bones of former Sui soldiers was rejected, and only one year later, Goguryeo followed the pace of East Turks to perish.

This made them realize that Datang was not as easy to bully as the Sui Dynasty, and they could no longer rely on the natural sea barrier to stop Datang's footsteps.

Now, they can only submit obediently and pay tribute to Datang!
