After Qiao Hui survived the two-day dangerous period of high fever, he boarded the ship with everyone else to Fuzhou Port. The head of Junjiro was still hanging on the mast of the "Yiyin". Under the high temperature and exposure to the sun, the skin and flesh of the head gradually rotted. Vultures and seagulls landed on the horizontal mast and pecked at it quickly with their sharp beaks when no one was paying attention.
The negotiations between the Japanese, represented by Ashikaga, and the Wei Dynasty reached a deadlock.
The reason was that after a very pleasant ceremony of recognizing the father, the Great Wei and the Wa Kingdom signed a trade agreement and jointly recognized the obligation to pay tribute. Everything was very pleasant.
The Japanese actually have the illusion that "Dad Wadasi is really reasonable."
But as the peace talks progressed, the Japanese gradually realized that the smooth talks of the previous two days were just a wolf in sheep's clothing. When they relaxed their vigilance, the Wei Dynasty gradually showed its fangs - the Wei Dynasty actually required Japan to ask for instructions from the Wei Dynasty before issuing the edict. The Japanese could only issue it if the Wei Dynasty replied "yes".
How is this different from a samurai having to get permission from the head of the household before he can eat?!
Originally, he came with the intention of recognizing his father, but his father required his son to report what clothes to wear, what sashimi to eat, and what cherry blossoms to pick every day before he could do it - this son feels too frustrated!
What's more, now that I'm a son, I don't even have pocket money...
General Ashikaga walked up to the pier in front of the ship at Fuzhou Port with his head down, and saw the unrecognizable head of Junjiro on the mast of the leading ship "Yin". He couldn't help but think of the day before when he learned that the young Zhongwu Hou came back alive, but Junjiro's head was hanging on the mast. He held his breath and went to look for the powerful woman of Wei.
"...If it were an ordinary warrior, or even an ordinary soldier, he would be dead, and Japan would surrender to Wei - but it was Pingtai! His father is the Grand Minister!" Ashikaga lowered his head, "The defeat of Japan is a foregone conclusion. We are sincere, but your loyal warrior is still not giving up and issued a declaration of war to Pingtai, and even killed Pingtai. When I return to Japan, how should I explain to the court?"
The powerful woman of the Wei Dynasty was arranging flowers at the time. She didn't even raise her head when she heard him speak. "Issuing a declaration of war? What declaration of war?"
Ashikaga held his breath, "Mr. Tadashi shot a red flag at the wooden door of the platform residence - everyone in the post station can testify to that."
Ashikaga felt a little more confident when he saw that the woman didn't know. "During the peace talks between the two countries, the Marquis Zhongwu provoked trouble and caused the death of the envoy. According to the laws of the Honglu Temple of the Great Wei, he should be exiled for 3,000 miles."
The woman picked up the copper scissors and cut off some kapok flowers as big as a bowl and put them aside. She said "Oh" casually and then said, "Huh? I remember that shooting red flags to duel is the way pirates do it?"
Ashikaga replied, “Hi!”
The woman put down the copper scissors and laughed, "Didn't you say during the peace talks that Junjiro wasn't a pirate?"
You are not a pirate, but you agreed to a duel with a pirate and lost your life?
Ashikaga hesitated.
The woman handed the flowerless kapok branch to Ashikaga, her expression calm, "What happened is past and cannot be reversed. I allow you to take off the head of the platform and bring it back to Wa for burial. Since his head and body are separated in Wei territory, this flowerless branch can be regarded as his body."
Ashikaga lowered his head, pursed his lips, and took it with one hand.
When her fingertips touched the kapok branch, the woman calmly opened it, as if remembering something. "Both Fuzhou Port and Changle Port have been in turmoil these days. Two or three villages around the ports have been massacred. There are only four days left for the peace talks. We are neighbors separated by a narrow strip of water, so it's a good opportunity for us to go and take a look."
Ashikaga was startled, and immediately realized that the fact that Junjiro had gone to the Japanese village for a duel had been exposed. He was immediately shocked and frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head and offered his hands to respectfully receive the kapok branch.
He once again felt deeply that although a woman had become the ruler of the Wei Dynasty, this woman was more cruel, more brutal, and more fond of killing than the previous Emperor Xun or even the current Emperor Zhaode.
On the pier, the sea breeze was blowing, Ashikaga came to his senses, took a step forward and walked onto the boat.
Fuzhou Port Wanbian Ferry is not far away, and it only takes one morning to get there by boat. When we arrived at noon, we heard the "wooooo" sound of a boat coming from the water. Xianjin stuck his head out of the window frame and was shocked!
On the sea, there are nearly a hundred treasure ships anchored in a row, majestic and huge, like giants!
Is the shipbuilding technology of this era so... advanced?
The shock brought by the huge ship lasted until they got off the ship and landed. Xianjin followed the crowd and walked out, looking at Qiao Hui who was waiting at the intersection. He walked smoothly to Xianjin's side and whispered, "The Datongbao ship is 444 feet long, 180 feet wide, with a carrying capacity of 800 tons and can accommodate thousands of people. Since the naval war was temporarily suspended at the end of last year, my uncle has stayed in Fujian and received a military order to build a ship here."
Xianjin sighed in shock, "In just two years, so many treasure ships have been built!"
Qiao Huimai lowered his chin and smiled softly, "Only the first three ships have complete interiors, the rest have only a rough frame, and even the masts were only erected two days ago."
Xianjin was puzzled, "Princess Bai'an is not a person who likes to show off."
Qiao Hui raised his eyes.
Xianjin followed his gaze and saw Princess Bai'an leading Ashikaga and his group of Japanese people to the leading treasure ship. He immediately understood.
The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting.
The Wei Dynasty inflicted a heavy defeat on the Japanese. To be more precise, it was Princess Bai'an and Qiao Hui who sacrificed their lives and money to inflict a heavy defeat on the Japanese, which led to the current peace talks.
However, based on the human, financial and material resources currently available to the Wei Dynasty, it is impossible to easily deal with the threats from the Tatars in the north and the Japanese pirates in the south at the same time.
We must be cautious inside and cannot let the Japanese see through us.
The best way is to show the Japanese the power of the sea, so that they are afraid from the bottom of their hearts! Let them feel cold blood when they think of Wei! Let them be a grandson in the peace talks! Let them retreat step by step!
Why are there military exercises in later generations? !
Firstly, it boosts morale, and secondly, it allows those who are interested to think carefully about whether they can afford a head-on confrontation!
Xianjin has never been involved in politics, but she has watched the news broadcast... Oh, and Hupu...
Qiao Hui saw Xianjin understood immediately, and said with a smile, "Your teacher always scolds you for your poor writing skills. I argued with him before, saying that you are like a dumpling in a gourd, with something in your stomach that just can't be poured out."
Xianjin: ...Thank you so much for your maintenance.
Qiao Hui laughed gloatingly when he spoke of this, "But before you left, your teacher did tell you to write a policy paper about your trip to Fujian after you return."
Xianjin:...
She couldn't imagine how much homework Director Qiao would assign her when he saw her holding hands with Qiao Hui...
The days were getting colder and colder. Thinking of the homework all over the mountains, she even felt that staying in Fujian to develop the tea industry would be a good career path.
The worries about the homework were put on hold for the time being. That afternoon, Princess Bai'an finally summoned Xianjin.
