Chapter 785 Fubao: My goal is the sea of stars
"Third brother, I think you need to go back to school!"
"No, it's useless for you to go to school. A rotten tree cannot be carved!"
Fu Bao looked at Xu Lao San angrily, "Building a ship takes time, but the question is, why do we have to build it right away? I don't believe that there are no maritime merchants in our Tang Dynasty!"
"Maritime merchants engage in maritime trade, don't they have ships?"
"Little sister, are you kidding me? Cargo ships are completely different from navy warships."
"So what if they're different? We just need to transport troops to Japan." Fu Bao rolled his eyes at his third brother. "Second Uncle went to attack Japan before, and the Japanese navy must have been crippled. We're just going there to plunder and destroy them. Why would we need warships?"
Fu Bao's words instantly made Xu Lao San feel ashamed.
Even Boss Xu and Zhao Bingzhao felt a little embarrassed.
They had been depressed here for such a long time that they actually overlooked an important situation, that is, Japan had no warships left.
Well, even if Japan still has some warships, the Tang Dynasty has a lot of warships. In terms of quantity, it is still a crushing situation.
"Third brother, you are indeed a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved!"
Zhao Bingzhao decisively stood on Fubao's side, and Xu Laoshen naturally could not allow himself to become a useless person like Xu Laosan, so he could only sacrifice his brother.
"Old Third, you are so pedantic!"
"Brother, I, you..."
"What do I mean by "I"? What do you mean by "you"? Hurry up and go find the little emperor to draft an order to requisition the merchant ships."
Boss Xu pulled Third Xu's arm, preventing him from saying anything, and ran away with him.
"Uncle, do you want to come with me to Japan? I heard that to the east of our country, there is an even more ancient country called the Land of the Rising Sun. Legend has it that the ancestors of our Tang Dynasty once went there from the extremely cold land."
"Really? Where did you hear that? How come I didn't know that?"
Zhao Bingzhao was also a learned man, but he had never heard of the Land of the Rising Sun that Fubao mentioned.
"Uh, that's what Li Huang said!"
I'm sorry, Emperor Taizu, it's your turn to take the blame!
In the past, Fubao liked to use her grandmother as a scapegoat, but her uncle saw through it. But now, she wanted to use Li Huang, the Taizu Emperor, as the scapegoat. No matter how clever her uncle was, he couldn't confront Li Huang.
"Emperor Taizu? Why would he tell you this?"
"He said that the Frost Spirits might also go to the Kingdom of the Rising Sun. He said that if possible, if we can contact the people of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, we can work together to attack the Frost Spirits!"
After saying this, Fubao felt so proud inside, he thought he was really a smart little boy.
This time, Zhao Bingzhao had no objection.
"Girl, I won't go to Japan!"
"Someone has to look after this place in the capital."
Zhao Bingzhao's face was solemn. "The little emperor Li Yu doesn't seem to be an easy person to deal with. And the Empress Dowager He is not someone to be trifled with either."
"Some jobs are difficult for you to do, but I, your uncle, am suitable for it!"
As soon as Zhao Bingzhao said this, Fubao immediately understood his intention.
"Uncle, actually, it's really not necessary."
"You may not realize how big the Kingdom of the Rising Sun is. Moreover, the resources there are even more abundant than those of the Tang Dynasty."
"Here on the Tang side, we've avenged ourselves, and that's about it!"
"Also, the earthquake in Jiangnan, if I'm not mistaken, should be Uncle Lu and the Jieyun Dao who cut off the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty."
"Then I can't leave!"
When Zhao Bingzhao heard Fubao say this, he said, "Since the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty has been cut off, it means that the Tang Dynasty is about to end. I, your uncle, am very interested in such a feat as ending a dynasty."
“…”
Fubao was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that it would have been better if he hadn't explained. Instead, this explanation had the opposite effect.
"Uncle, aren't you worried that I might run into danger while out at sea?"
Fu Bao didn't really dislike the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, he thought it was pretty good. However, there were some bad people in it.
Now that the bad guys have been dealt with, wouldn’t it be great if the court could continue to maintain its previous policies and the people could continue to live and work in peace and contentment as before?
"You are extremely lucky. If you are in danger, then it doesn't matter whether I, your uncle, go with you or not."
"Uncle, why are you doing this?"
"Now the young emperor and Empress Dowager He are truly orphans and widows. Bullying them will only tarnish your reputation. Isn't it better to leave it to others to do it?"
Fubao knew very well that the Tang Dynasty was about to end. The reason why it was still calm at the moment was purely because his family was now on the side of the little emperor.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, when it comes to military strength and horsepower, the Xu family is undoubtedly the number one.
After all, not long ago, they defeated the resurrected Emperor Taizu and the 200,000 undefeated troops who had followed him to conquer the country.
The Xu family's reputation can be described in one word: it's at its peak.
"Silly girl, do you think I don't know?"
Zhao Bingzhao chuckled and said, "Back then, your grandmother and your father were also orphans and widows. But who of those people let them go? Who of them even considered having a bad reputation?"
Tit for tat!
Li Wei was the son of Emperor Yongping and the grandson of the Empress Dowager, so he had to bear all of this.
After Zhao Bingzhao's words, Fubao fell silent.
In the end, Fubao decided to just ignore it.
Her current goal is the sea of stars.
She wanted to go out to sea and go to Japan to see if that was the island country she knew. If it was, she would completely exterminate all the population on that island.
Of course, what she meant by extermination was not massacre, but immigration.
She wanted to relocate all the indigenous people on the island and disperse them into the Tang Dynasty, so that this nation would disappear in the long river of history.
This island will become the private territory of the Xu family. For example, a nature reserve can be built on it to protect wild animals.
As for humans?
Apart from tourists and visitors, there are no permanent residents on this island.
If someone flees here in the future, as long as they can survive here, it will be their own achievement.
While the work of recruiting sea vessels was proceeding in an orderly manner, a large group of garrison soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River, escorted the leaders of the robbery gang, and marched into the capital in prison carts.
Zhang Yi, the Holy Son of the Way of Disaster, was among them, and in the first row of many prisoner cars.
There were many soldiers from the garrison who came to escort the prisoners. Originally, they were there to prevent thieves from robbing the prisoners. But on the way north, they didn't even encounter a single petty thief.
The road of disaster, it really is the end of your luck.
In fact, from the moment Fu Bao wrote that decree, the path of disaster was destined to come to an end.
