After recognizing the cruel reality, Liu Weide finally confessed the location of the hostages.Yan Chongjin immediately turned the bow of the boat and headed towards the circular island.

However, when the Shenlong arrived at Fengyu Island, the Fangtian had already left while the rain stopped, and the two ships almost missed it.

Shenlong has a huge hull and its draft is too deep.Unavoidably hit the rocks, Yan Chongjin anchored outside the island, took a few experts, and rowed a small boat into the fjord.

On Fengyu Island after the storm, the trees, mountains and people are still.They successfully found the soldiers of the Liu family, all of them were corpses without exception.

With a pale face, Liu Weide flipped over the dead people on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "It's Japanese pirates...they had deep stab wounds, and even had their limbs and heads chopped off. They should have been killed by Japanese warriors."

"Killed with a single blow... the one who shot was a master of swordsmanship." Yan Chongjin naturally recognized the wound caused by the samurai sword, and his eyes sank, "Are the Japanese already so powerful now?"

Liu Weide shook his head: "Most of them are mobs. The elite of Japan all serve in the General's Mansion. Although the warriors raised by the nobles occasionally participate in robbery, they seldom go out on a large scale. There is not a single enemy's body here, which means that every one of these Japanese pirates They are all powerful and have an overwhelming advantage over our army..."

"That's a soldier against you." Yan Chongjin corrected, "My soldiers are not so cowardly. Even if they are no match, they will only die in frontal battles, and will not be stabbed in the back."

Liu Weide: "..."

They expanded their search area and searched around the island, but they still couldn't find the bodies of Liang Sheng and Tan Taiye. They were probably taken away by Japanese pirates.

After all, Liang Sheng is a member of the royal family, and Liang Han also feels pity for this ill-fated second brother, so he let them go in the end.If he knew that Liang Sheng was unfortunately captured by Japanese pirates, he was afraid that the anger against the Liu family would spread to the other side of the East...

The matter was so important that Yan Chongjin didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly led people away from Fengyu Island and set off for the return voyage.

The Shenlong sailed so fast that it arrived at Nanjiang Port in just one day.

When Liang Han was cursing the Japanese devils in the imperial study, Fang Tian was still floating hundreds of miles away on the sea.

"The Marquis who killed my Dachun, and the prince who captured my Liang family, the emperor doesn't want to mess around anymore?" Liang Han was so angry that he was dancing on the paper, "If I don't give an explanation to this matter, I don't mind letting Dongying become a prince." history!"

Yan Chongjin persuaded: "Your Majesty, think twice, meeting each other in battle is not a child's play, and fighting across the sea is also risky. Before the matter is clarified, it is not appropriate to speak lightly."

"I know that the teacher must not be anonymous." Liang Hao called him closer, "This letter of credence only asks the emperor to explain the situation clearly, and asks him to return the man. There is no mention of war. If you don't believe me, take a look."

Yan Chongjin glanced at it, and coughed: "Your Majesty didn't mention war, but it's better to get rid of those indecent words." Well, I scolded all eighteen generations of the emperor's ancestors, not that war letters are better than war letters.Just send it over like this, Dongying might be the first to call...

Liang Han put his hands in his arms, and said lazily, "Let the cabinet's bachelors write their own words, I'm too lazy to change."

"There is another problem." Yan Chongjin said, "Liang Sheng is the deceased king, so it is not suitable to be called King Qing anymore. It is better to change his identity with Tantai Ye."

Liang Han slapped his head: "I'm so confused, I forgot all about this, Shi Bingyan has arranged for these two."

The moment he received the imperial decree, Shi Tianrui was in a daze.

When did I have two sons who were paralyzed and crippled?This thing can also be imperial gift? !

Before I could figure it out, the backyard was already on fire.His wife came up to him with a riding whip, and gave him a whip with a flick of her hand.

"Shi Tianrui, you have suffered a thousand swords and lost your conscience! All the illegitimate children of the vixen have been stabbed to the emperor? You are shameless, how can I see people in the future!"

There was a lot of commotion in the Duke's mansion, and some people were lying on the wall to watch the fun.

"Miss Shi, how can you have a good conscience when you bully your third uncle like this?"

Shi Bingyan grinned and said: "He always relies on himself as the favored youngest son, and if he has nothing to do, he will only embarrass my father. I just pay back a little."

The corner of Chi Han's mouth twitched: "Your big family is really complicated."

"It's because your mind is too simple." Shi Bingyan stepped on the bricks and got off the wall, and stretched out his hand, "I'll help you down."

"No, I can jump off by myself." Chi Han hissed as soon as he landed.

Shi Bingyan sneered: "The injury is not healed, what can you do? It really is a brat."

"I'm older than you, right?" Chi Han muttered while holding his shoulders, "What kind of mature woman does a yellow-haired girl pretend to be..."

"Hehe, I don't know which brat recognized me, a yellow-haired girl, as his mother."

When mentioning that night, Chi Han was suddenly embarrassed.Anyway, he couldn't talk to the other party, so he simply chose to keep silent.

Today is Shi Bingyan's seventeenth birthday, but because it coincides with her mother's funeral, she always keeps it low-key and never throws a banquet to celebrate.

Therefore, when Chi Han came to the door foolishly carrying a congratulatory gift, Zhong Guogong looked at him with strange eyes for a long time before letting him go.

Moisturized by spring rain, warmed by east wind.The peach blossoms in the Duke's Mansion are in full bloom, bright red and pale pink, scorching like flowers.

"Liang Sheng said that flowers of different colors have different fragrances." Shi Bingyan stood under a luxuriant peach tree, closing his eyes and sniffing deeply.

"Really?" Chi Han raised his neck, stretched out his nose and smelled, "I didn't smell the difference."

"That's why you are restless."

"Well." Standing beside her, Chi Han felt the soft hair on his face being blown by the wind, and his heart became even more restless.

"I smell it." He closed his eyes and sniffed around, finally stopped and said with a smile, "The scent here is different."

Sensing the breath that was close at hand, Shi Bingyan suddenly opened his eyes.Seeing that the other person's face was almost close to her, she subconsciously slapped her...

"Snapped!"

Chi Han covered his face and took three steps back, staring at her innocently: "Why are you hitting me again?!"

"There's a wasp on your face, Miss Ben drove it away for you, you're welcome."

Chi Han blinked: "Really? Thank you then."

idiot.Shi Bingyan rolled her eyes, turned her head and broke off a peach branch with a bone, ready to take it back and put it in a vase.

"I heard that Dongying women are good at arranging flowers and making tea?"

"Not bad." Chi Han nodded and said, "But my mother is not good at these, so I don't know much about it."

"Why is this?"

"My mother is a ninja. She always likes to fight, and she is not good at ordinary women's jobs." Chi Han smiled, "She is a fish mermaid from Japan, and she is stronger than men at sea."

This is why he is not in a hurry to find his mother.

As long as Abukawa Nei goes into the water, he is like a fish returning to the sea.No one could catch her unless she herself was willing to show herself.

"Your mother is so amazing." Shi Bingyan said enviously, "I don't even know what my mother likes." Princess Yunyang caught up with dystocia when she gave birth to her, and passed away the next day after giving birth to her daughter, so that Shi Bingyan didn't have the slightest impression of her dead mother .

Chi Han comforted: "Mother and daughter often have similar personalities, and the eldest princess' preferences should be similar to those of the young lady."

"Really? I like to compose poems and play the qin...do you?"

Chi Han shook his head with a wry smile.He is not Liang Sheng, he grew up in martial arts and is not proficient in elegance.

"Then you know how to ride a horse?" Shi Bingyan grabbed his sleeve, "Come on, I'll take you to see my Huo Huo."

The two fed the horses in the stable for a while, and Xiao Tao hurried over to report: "Miss, uncle is back!"

"Liang Sheng is back?!" Shi Bingyan jumped up in surprise.

Chi Han was stunned, and the candy in his hand was rolled away by his tongue.

Tantaiye was not sure about Liang Han's attitude, nor did he know the current situation of the Liu family.Therefore, I didn't dare to let the Fang Tian enter the Dongjiang Estuary, but docked cautiously outside the port. Several people landed from the deserted beach in a small boat, and made a roundabout way to report to the Duke's Mansion.

Liang Sheng returned safely, Shi Bingyan was naturally full of joy.Chi Han was reunited with Kawanai Yi, and the mother and son were also very excited.Only Tantaiye was left alone, quite lonely.

But when he learned that both himself and Liang Sheng were bestowed the sons of Shi Tianrui, Tan Taiye really wanted to stand up and scold others.

"You shrew, do you have any brains?" He complained angrily, "Your third uncle is only five years older than me, does this son recognize you?!"

"Shi Ye, you can be content." Shi Bingyan gloated, "My lady hasn't let you recognize my cousin as your father yet, so you have to call me aunt when the time comes."

Aunt your head ah!Tan Taiye turned to Liang Sheng pitifully: "A Sheng, can you tell the emperor to change us?"

Liang Sheng smiled: "Let's leave it at that, I think the Shi family is pretty good, so don't pick anything."

Tantaiye was in despair, the thought of living in the same mansion with a crazy shrew made him want to commit suicide.

But after thinking about it, it's not right, why did Liang Hao change their identities to be upright?The son of the Duke's Mansion, even if he is a cripple, has more weight than others, this is too low-key.

"Master Chi, you said that Admiral Yan went out to sea to find us, and then came back?"

Chi Han nodded: "He only told me that he couldn't find it, and then told me to stay in Dongdu, not to return to Dongying, and not to go to sea in the near future."

"Then he is still in the Yan Mansion?"

"No, he was transferred to the admiral of the Navy the day before yesterday and went to Dongjiang Port to take up his post."

It seems that the Liu family has been taken care of by Liang Hao, and Yan Chongjin has taken over the Donghai division.

Tantaiye always felt that something was wrong.

Yan Chongjin is already the admiral of the Fourth Battalion of Gyeonggi, and together with the Donghai Division, he has at least 30 troops in his hands. How can Liang Hao let the young master of the Yan family hold a heavy army so reassuringly?How embarrassing is this for other clans!

Damn it, if he had known that the person next to his pillow was so attractive, he would have gone to wink at Xiao Nencong.

"The Liu family handed over the sea power, why didn't the emperor transfer all the navy from Nanjiang to the post?" Liang Sheng also sensed something was wrong, "It would be a bit rash to transfer an admiral of the army to Dongjiang to take over the navy."

"It seems that it's not just the navy in Dongjiang," Chi Han said. "According to my cousin, the new coastal defense battalion in Nanjiang is also in his charge. He has to run around for a while and has no time to go home."

When Tantaiye heard it, he almost slipped off the chair.

The unification of the two fronts along the southeast coast under one man means that Yan Chongjin can mobilize the navy stationed at Liangjiang Port, and can gather 20 troops at any time... What does Liang Hao want to do?

"Master Chi, I trouble you to enter the palace as soon as possible and inform the emperor of our return."

Chi Han looked at the sky outside: "It's getting dark soon, and the palace gate will be locked soon, can we see you again tomorrow?"

"The sooner the better."

"Why? Are you in a hurry?"

"It's my crow's mouth to blame too." Tan Taiye said solemnly, "The emperor may be angry with the Japanese pirates who sank the Fusheng, and wants to use troops abroad on a large scale. But why does Yan Chongjin need to be in command to suppress pirates? I'm afraid... he They are preparing for an expedition to Japan."

Chi Han and Buchuan Neiyi looked at each other, both showing surprise.

Tantaiye's guess was not bad.

Before they returned to the Central Plains, the mission of the Chun Kingdom had already boarded the ship to Dongying with their credentials.

Regarding the result of the negotiation, Liang Hao made two preparations.

If the emperor apologized for chasing Chi Han and promised that such unpleasant things would not happen again, he would not be reluctant.As for the two princes of the Duke's Mansion who asked each other for it, he didn't hold out much hope.After all, Liang Sheng and Tantai Ye fell into the hands of Japanese pirates running around, even if the emperor helped find them, they might not be able to find them.

But if the other party refuses to admit his mistakes, refuses to apologize, and still insists on eradicating the Floating Pavilion and hunting down Lord Hou of the Chun Kingdom, don't blame him for talking with his fists.

However, Chi Han entered the palace overnight, and the news he brought made Liang Han very astonished.

Liang Sheng and Tan Taiye were not kidnapped by Japanese pirates, but rescued by the warriors of Fushengkan?This matter is too embarrassing, his letter of credence of strong protest and stern condemnation has been sent out!

"Your majesty, my ministers and my mother are all safe and sound. Liang Sheng and Tan Taiye have also returned to the Eastern Capital. It is impossible for the emperor to find someone..." Chi Han dared not continue.

Maybe this master just wanted to fight Dongpu, and it didn't matter whether he could find someone or not. Those two people might just be an excuse for the Chun country to go to war.

Liang Han looked at him with great interest: "The home was stolen, the Floating Life was destroyed, and you and your mother were almost killed. Why are you still defending the motherland like this?"

Chi Han bit his lips and replied: "The two countries are at war, and it is the common people who suffer. I just don't want innocent people to bear the fault of the emperor and the general."

"That's right, people will die in war and the common people will suffer." Liang Hao tapped on the desk and said, "But do you think that in peaceful times, people will not die and the common people will not suffer? The lives of ordinary people in Dongying are difficult, and tens of thousands of people die every year. Farmers and fishermen died of disease, starvation and cold. Who caused this? Was it caused by the war?"

"You already live on an island with scarce resources, and you have to endure the oppression of the emperor and warlords for generations. Under the heavy taxation and exploitation, many people can't survive, so they are forced to board pirate ships and become Japanese pirates who rob other countries. But the emperor What did you do again? Instead of reflecting on the sharp decline in good people, the barren fields, and the emptiness of the national treasury, you condoned the vicious cycle of raising thieves!"

"Chi Han, I can tell you clearly that if you don't know how to save yourself and continue to support such a senseless and foolish king, it will be a matter of time before Japan perishes."

Chi Han was shocked by his harsh words.

For thousands of years, Dongying has been going downhill, but no one has ever thought of rebelling against the emperor.The status of the descendants of Amaterasu is unshakable, even the great generals dare not challenge the authority of the royal family.

Only the people of Chunguo dare to evaluate whether their emperor is a wise emperor or a foolish emperor, while the people of Dongying worship the emperor almost blindly, even if the other party is not a qualified emperor.

"But...Even if this emperor is overthrown, the next emperor may not be Mingjun..."

Why is this kid so stubborn? !Liang Hao said helplessly: "Why do you want the emperor? Save it for the New Year? You can be the king yourself!"

Chi Han almost knelt in fright: "I dare not..."

"Why don't you dare? Do princes and generals have a kindness?"

"The emperor is a descendant of a god, how can a mortal replace him?"

Liang Han burst out laughing.

As a traveler who has seen immortals with his own eyes, he dare not criticize the superstitions of the ancients at will.But he, a history expert, knows all too well the tricks of those in power to confuse people's hearts.

"Isn't it just a miracle? Fish Belly Pill Book, Wild Fox Howling at Night, Strange Stone from Heaven... Which one do you like? How about I make you a complete set?"

Chi Han wiped off his sweat: "Your Majesty, stop entertaining me."

The joke came to this point, but Liang Hao was really moved.

Japan was listed as a country not subject to conquest by Ming Taizu because of its remoteness and limited mountains and seas.Obtaining the land is not enough to supply, and obtaining the people is not enough to command.Even if they occupy the island with troops, it will be difficult for the Central Plains people to maintain their rule.

In other words, even if the battle is won, it will be a loss.

However, due to the influence of the times, Zhu Yuanzhang had limited vision.He thinks that a mere island country poses little threat to the Central Plains and is nothing to be afraid of, but he doesn't realize that if you don't offend everyone, everyone will offend you.Under the rule of the emperor in Japan, the national expansion consciousness became stronger from generation to generation.

The Ming people quickly slapped Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the Qing people were tortured to the ground by the Sino-Japanese War, followed by an eight-year war of aggression against China... The weak Japanese country that Zhu Yuanzhang looked down upon, those poor people The barbarian ** with striped clothes rode on China's head in only 500 years, and dominated the Asia-Pacific region during World War II.

Isn't such a nation scary?

Liang Han doesn't want the dark history of his own world to be repeated in this time and space.

Therefore, he really began to consider supporting a Japanese king who was pro-Han, and let the other party change the way of educating the people of Dongying.This is not only beneficial to the stability of Dachun's current border defense, but in the long run, it may also benefit the future generations of the world.

It's just that although Chi Han has a good heart, he is still young and inexperienced.If you really want to support the Chi family, you have to have a good brain to control the situation for this kid.

"I understand what you mean, and I will consider it carefully. Preparing for war does not mean that we will definitely go to war." Liang Hao put down his ink brush and said in a deep voice, "But you have to understand that the direction of this situation depends on the emperor's attitude, not completely. It's up to me."

Thinking about the emperor's virtues, Chi Han's heart sank. He cupped his hands and asked, "If there is a real war, can your majesty allow me to participate in the Eastern Expedition?"

Liang Han raised his head inexplicably: "You want to participate? Didn't you say you wanted to help Dongpu?" I don't want a traitor in the army...

Chi Han smiled wryly and said: "To be honest, with Dongying's strength, the war with Chunguo will undoubtedly be defeated. Since you will lose no matter what, it is better to minimize the loss. Weichen knows Dongpu better, and can help Chunjun capture the shogunate as soon as possible and Miyagi."

Oh, Japanese traitors can have... Liang Han understood what he meant.

Chi Han hoped that the Chun people could accurately attack the royal family and nobles in Japan, so as to ensure the safety of civilians to the greatest extent.

In fact, this is also Liang Hao's idea. The significance of war is not in the amount of bloodshed, but in the final effect.This point, Xi Chuan has been verified enough.

Yan Zijun's tactics of not slaughtering cities and not disturbing people made the defenders in Xichuan cities surrender quickly.The movement to crack down on local tyrants and distribute food widely also greatly appeased the hearts of the people after the war, allowing the implementation of various decrees issued by the imperial court.Liang Hao believed that the loyalty of Dongying people to the emperor would not exceed three bags of rations.

"If that's the case, I'm sure." Liang Han nodded and said, "But you don't need to belittle yourself, Dongpu's combat power is not vulnerable." At least the Yuan Dynasty's expeditionary army suffered two defeats.

A glimmer of hope appeared in Chi Han's eyes: "Really?"

"Well, at least it can withstand two blows."

"..."

Seeing the frustrated look of the young man, Liang Han laughed happily.

It's really not bad, looking at this shriveled face, I actually have the illusion of crushing Yan Chongjin.

"Okay, let's stop here today. After you go back, say hello to the second brother, and ask him to take Tantai Ye to the palace to meet him when there are few people."

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

The spring in Dongdu is gone with the wind, and soon it will be summer.

The emperor's reply letter came across the ocean, and the head of the Dajun envoy came back with him.

In the letter of credence, the emperor complained about the crimes of Emperor Dachun, scolded Liang Hao for beheading the envoys without the demeanor of a big country, angrily reprimanded Chunchao for buying the young master Luliang with bad intentions, criticized Fusheng for planting Tuenbu as Japanese pirates, and finally demanded the banning of trade The regulations prohibit the dumping of pure goods to Japan.

Liang Han smiled after reading.

The emperor certainly did not travel through time, so it is not clear what happened after the Qing Dynasty rejected foreign goods.The Western powers opened the gates of the Kingdom of Heaven by bombarding them with strong ships and artillery, and the Kingdom of Chun would naturally be able to forcibly open the Japanese market through war.

In the words of Liang's father, whoever cuts off my money, I cut off his life.

Liang Han did not return the emperor's letter of credence, but directly issued an imperial decree to Yan Chongjin.

If you can do it, don't force it. It is also one of the principles of his Liang family's underworld.

In the summer of the fifth year of Taihe, Yan Chongjin, the admiral of the navy, took command and led the East China Sea Navy to expedition to Dongying.

This battle dispatched [-] troops and [-] warships. The new coastal defense battalion and the Dongjiang navy jointly dispatched, relying on steam ships to tow the wind-powered boats, it took only five days to reach Luliang City.

The emperor's mind was not very light. When he returned his credentials, he had the awareness of preparing for war, and began to call up the militia from all over the country to build fortifications along the coast.

It's just that no one expected Chun Jun to come so fast.After half a month of hard work building the stone dam, the mud hadn't dried yet, and was bombarded and collapsed by the opponent in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers guarding the city could only see a blurry black shadow on the sea, unable to aim at all.Even if the artillery fires back, the shells can only fall on the beachhead and offshore, and will not touch the enemy ship at all.

They realized desperately that the range of their own artillery was not the same as that of the opponent.

Chi Han watched helplessly as the Luliang City Tower was bombarded, and put down his clairvoyance with a heartbroken heart, and said to Yan Chongjin, "Brother, it's almost done, and there is no big hatred."

Yan Chongjin glared at him: "If you don't show off in the first battle, how can you fight later!"

"Then why did you choose Luliang for the first match? That's my home!"

The author has something to say:

"Hehe, it's just because it's your family that I enjoy playing."

"..."
