The Laibin River winds around, and there is a drop of several dozen centimeters upstream from time to time. A beach fish nearly one foot long with silvery-white sides suddenly jumped out of the water, trying to rush upstream.
A two-meter-tall brown bear opened its mouth and caught the rare beach fish in its mouth. Before the brown bear had time to be happy, a sharp arrow came from the forest and hit the brown bear's throat.
The strong fur and thick fat saved the big brown bear's life. Suddenly, it was hit hard. The big brown bear roared and pounced towards the direction where the sharp arrow came from.
A clear female voice rang out, "Wild Boar Skin, go and kill it for me."
"Don't worry, General Manager. Nurhaci promises to give you a complete bear skin."
Following the rough voice came out a two-meter-tall sturdy man with a rat tail behind his shiny head. The winter clothes gave him great courage. He rushed forward with his fists as big as sand bowls, like a big brown bear.
When the big brown bear and Nurhaci got close to each other, the big brown bear stood up and slapped over with a sound of wind.
The most important thing is that this is not a war of aggression. This is the army of justice that the people have been looking forward to. It will naturally be relatively easy to fight. Therefore, Wu You is not afraid of war at all. Only the rulers in Fuso need to worry about war.

He was sure to lose the fight, so Tanaka could only plead, "Those people are my lord's people. How can the chief minister interfere in other countries' affairs?"
At first, the two sides just quarreled a few times, but now they are almost on the verge of fighting.
Wu You was too lazy to pay attention to him. If it weren't for Xue Rengui's mediation, he wouldn't even want to meet the envoy. Anyway, the excuse for taking action now was enough. The fundamental conflict could not be resolved, so it would be useless to talk more.
He couldn't report back if he went back, and he couldn't get any favors if he stayed. Tanaka wanted to die.
Either we go to war or Fuso will implement Tang laws.
"Other countries' affairs. A few years ago, you Fusang sent naval forces to assist Goguryeo, and our Tang Dynasty has not yet come to settle accounts with you. What do you mean by other countries' affairs?"
Tanaka had a bitter look on his face. It was not easy to be an envoy of a small country with a small population. As a retainer of a noble, it had taken a great deal of effort and cost for him to meet Wu You, but he failed to meet the requirements of the master of the family.
If Fuso overreacts, that would be even better. Wu You could send troops to Fuso under the pretext of pleading for the people. He wouldn't even need to fight. He could just bring all the Mohe warriors over and scare them to death.
Either let the people flee, and then when the time is right, Wu You will bring the people back, and Fuso will then implement all Tang laws.
Wu You curled his lips and said viciously: "Go back and tell your master to lift the blockade immediately, otherwise I will bring 100,000 Mohe people to visit your master. If you dare to go to Chang'an to complain, I will arrest your master and take him to Chang'an and let His Majesty protect him well."
Fuso's mountainous terrain means that the country has many mineral resources, especially saltpeter and silver. There is no need to explain much about silver, and saltpeter is also something that the Yuzhou people need very much. Even though gunpowder is still in the confidential stage, Wu You naturally knows about it.
Wu You's purpose is destined to leave no room for negotiation, and Fuso now has only two options.
Fuso is a place where disasters occur frequently. The long and narrow island terrain allows strong winds to ravage the area, and earthquakes occur from time to time, so people's lives are naturally not easy.
"I don't care whose idea it was. You guys are so messy, and I'm too lazy to tell them apart."
Wu You left Tanaka behind and came to the big brown bear. He kicked the big brown bear's belly with his leather boots and said with a smile, "I don't know how many fish you ate of mine to get so fat. Your belly is wavy when I kick it."
The short man recalled the vibration he felt when the big brown bear fell to the ground, looked at Nurhaci who was grinning in the distance and the big brown bear under his feet, then looked at the group of sturdy guards around him, smacked his lips, and said to Wu You with a bitter face.
"It is useless for the chief steward to embarrass Tanaka. Tanaka is just a messenger and cannot make the decision. If the chief steward insists on having his own way, Lord Tanaka will send people to Chang'an to complain."
Nurhaci ducked to avoid the attack and followed the force of the big brown bear's pounce. He grabbed the bear skin on the big brown bear's belly with both hands, ducked and threw the big brown bear over his shoulder. Then, while the big brown bear was confused for a moment, he ran over and stomped on the big brown bear's neck several times with all his strength. The big brown bear gradually stopped struggling.
It would be somewhat inappropriate to just rob them directly. Attracting people to cross the sea and settle down here is a very good method. If Fuso doesn't care, Wu You plans to take it slowly. Anyway, he can attract all the people here in a few years.
Wu You spoke in a loud voice, venting his anger wantonly.
Wu You waved his hand and said, "I only know that all the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people under heaven are his subjects. All the people in the world are his subjects. You, the King of Fusang, were appointed by his majesty. What does your master count for? It is the freedom of the people to live wherever they want. As long as it does not violate the Tang law, no one can interfere. Your master's current behavior has violated the Tang law. If he continues to be stubborn, this general manager will punish him according to the Tang law."
Wu You smiled happily, raised his eyebrows, and asked a short man beside him: "What did you just say to this chief steward?"
The Yuzhou group developed the Northeast and brought a lot of materials and technology. Naturally, life here was very good. The key was that there were no taxes or corvee labor here. There was no harm without comparison. Once there was a comparison, the people on the Fuso side suddenly felt that they could not make ends meet.
It was normal for them to escape. In just one year, it became a trend for the Fuso people to cross the sea to live a good life. The aristocracy there immediately refused to accept this. All the people ran away. Who would support them?
Tanaka said aggrievedly: "That has nothing to do with my master. It was the idea of those people in Guanzhong."
Tanaka, who came along, almost vomited blood after hearing this. He was complaining in his heart, "The big brown bears have been catching fish here for generations, so why are they eating your fish just because you came here?"
How could a godly figure like the steward teach such a rude disciple?
Nurhaci thought it was natural. These fish belonged to them before, and now they were all under the command of the Grand Steward, so these fish naturally belonged to him.
Nurhaci grinned and said, "It eats our fish, and we eat its meat."
Wu You nodded, looked at Tanaka and said, "That's right, this is what happens to those who don't listen."
