Chapter 307 Before getting married
"Duluo, the little king of Danluo, pays homage to the Heavenly Soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven!" As soon as the middle-aged man in cotton clothes saw the soldiers like Lu Qing, he immediately saluted with a bitter look on his face. After receiving a report from his subordinates, saying that at sea
When countless huge sea ships came, they immediately guessed that the other party was probably from the Tang Dynasty. After all, except for the Tang Dynasty, no other country could rely on such huge sea ships. Now that they saw Lu Qing and the others, they were even more surprised.
Let him confirm his suspicion.
"Are you King Danluo?" Lu Qing looked up and down at the middle-aged man in front of him, and saw that he looked similar to those ordinary islanders. The only difference was the cotton clothes on his body. This kind of fabric was only available in the Tang Dynasty.
It was just produced. In the past, because the output was small, the price was very high. Now with the increase of textile factories, cotton cloth is becoming less and less valuable. I didn’t expect that the king of a country in front of me would be dressed like this?
"General, the common people in the mountains dare not call me king, so the general just call me Doro!" This Doro can speak Chinese very well. After all, Doro is now dependent on Baekje, and Baekje is deeply influenced by the civilization of the Central Plains.
The upper class nobles are proud to speak Chinese. Dora spent a long time in Baekje when he was young, so it is not surprising that he can speak Chinese.
Seeing that Du Luo was so understanding, Lu Qing did not embarrass him, but smiled and said: "Although Dan Luo is a small country, it is still a country after all, so you don't have to be humble, King Dan Luo."
Hearing that the general of the Tang Dynasty in front of him spoke much more politely, Du Luo let out a long breath, and after complimenting him a few more words, he asked cautiously: "I don't know which branch of the Tang Dynasty the general belongs to.
, What's the important thing for you to come to visit me?"
"Oh, we belong to His Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty. I heard that Danluo was invaded by Baekje and even built a port on the island, so we came here to help you. Please lead the way quickly. I, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, will assist you.
Drive the Baekje people away!" Lu Qing said with a righteous look.
In fact, before coming, Lu Qing had already asked people to find out the situation in Danluo. Baekje has a port here. Hundreds of soldiers are stationed here, and it is on the other side of the island, so he had already made two plans before coming.
Be prepared if
If Danluo had the courage to resist them, he would suppress them with bloody methods and then wipe out the Baekje stronghold. But if Danluo immediately defected, he could leave these Danluo people behind. After all, the construction of the island also requires manpower.
.
Du Luo secretly thought that indeed, it seems that these Tang people are really going to form an alliance with Silla, but it has nothing to do with him. They and Luo are just small chess pieces sandwiched in the middle. Whoever is stronger will follow. This is theirs.
The way to survive.
Thinking of this, Doro immediately bowed and said: "General, please come with me. The port of Baekje is on the other side of the island. But it is estimated that they have also received news of the arrival of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they may have escaped by boat long ago.
"
"It doesn't matter, just take me there!" Lu Qing had already expected this outcome, and it could even be said that this was a deliberate arrangement by him. According to the information he received, Baekje's port is located at the northern end of the island. And Dan Dan
King Luo lived in the south of the island. He deliberately landed from the south end. The first was to see King Danluo's attitude, and the second was to give time for the Baekje people to escape. After all, he still needed people to spread the news.
Dora led the way and soon reached the other side of the island. Zhu Chong, who stayed on the boat, also received orders to bring the fleet over. However, as Doro said, the hundred and ten Baekje soldiers had already arrived.
He ran away without even having time to burn the supplies stored at the port.
There was no suspense. Lu Qing took over Dan Luo very smoothly, and at the same time asked Du Luo to recruit people to help them build a larger and crude port, which would at least give their fleet a temporary anchorage.
After Lu Qing and others occupied Danluo, neither Baekje nor Japan took any drastic action. Firstly, their navy was too weak and was really no match for the Tang Dynasty. Secondly, the attitude of the Tang Dynasty was unclear.
Before they figured out the matter, they did not dare to provoke the giant Tang Dynasty without permission.
But when the news that Lu Qing occupied Danluo reached Dengzhou, Li Min laughed loudly, and then led people to his own courtyard outside the city. Jin Shengman had already arrived in Dengzhou for this reason.
Waiting for this news, as soon as this news comes, they will get married immediately, but
Before that, their marriage had been kept secret, and not many people even knew about it in Silla. As for Baekje and Wa, they didn't get the slightest news, otherwise Lu Qing would occupy Danluo's third place.
Suddenly, they will react violently.
It was still the same courtyard where Jin Shengman lived last time, and it was still the same room as last time. Li Min walked into the living room and found that Jin Shengman had already been sitting there waiting for him.
"I have done what I promised you. Now you should also order Silla to give up resistance and let my people enter Silla?" Li Min found a seat and sat down casually, and said to Jin Shengman in a calm tone.
Said. Although the two were about to get married, Li Min didn't have the slightest good feelings towards Jin Shengman. In his opinion, this was just a political marriage, and all he needed was just a name, and he had no intention of doing so.
Have any substantial content.
Jin Shengman Yuyan was also indifferent. She glanced at Li Min indifferently and said in a cold tone: "I promised at the beginning that I would only allow people from the Tang Dynasty to enter Silla after we got married. Now ours
The wedding hasn’t taken place yet, so you can’t enter Silla yet!”
After hearing this, Li Min snorted coldly. He knew the situation in Silla better than anyone else. Since they were attacked by Baekje and the Japanese country, their national strength was greatly damaged. Coupled with the brutal massacre of Japanese soldiers, it led to domestic turmoil.
Especially for the queen Jin Shengman,
Many people were very dissatisfied with her, and even the royal family wanted to replace her. Therefore, the reason why Jin Shengman married Li Min was not only knowing that she was not Li Min's opponent and wanting to retain Guo Zuo, but also wanting to introduce Li Min.
This great support was used to stabilize her throne.
"Okay, the wedding date will be set in three days. Someone will come to teach you some rules in the palace during these two days!" Li Min said, standing up, flicking his sleeves, and left without looking back. He and Jin
Shengman had no feelings to begin with, and they were very unhappy with each other when they were in Pyongyang, so Li Min didn't want to give him any good looks at all.
Jin Shengman looked at Li Min's leaving figure and did not stand up to see him off. He just stared at his back with blank eyes, but his face was as calm as water. He didn't know how long it had been, but Jin Shengman just listened.
Suddenly he sighed quietly and said to himself in a low and imperceptible voice: "Cousin, the queen's position is really heavy. Shengman feels so tired, so tired..."
After Li Min left Jin Shengman's place, he did not go back to his palace, but came to Wu Meiniang's place. However, when Wu Meiniang saw Li Min, she smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness will be the groom's official soon, how can you still do it?"
Will you come to Mei Niang?"
Although Wu Meiniang tried her best to hide it when she spoke, she could not stop the strong sourness in her tone.
"Meiniang, haven't I told you a long time ago that this is just a political marriage. In my heart, the Queen of Silla can never be compared with you." Li Min explained helplessly. All women
They like to be jealous. When Wen Xin and Xijun learned that they were going to marry Jin Shengman, although they didn't say it on the surface, they were actually jealous for several days.
"Huh, that's what I said, but Mei Niang watched helplessly as everyone else came to serve His Highness, but Mei Niang could only do it secretly, and even her mother and little sister didn't dare to see her. I...I..."
As Wu Meiniang spoke, her eyes turned red and tears immediately burst out, looking extremely aggrieved.
This was the first time that Li Min saw Wu Meiniang crying. He was in a hurry at the moment. He hurriedly held this delicate beauty in his arms and kept whispering comfort, finally getting her to stop crying.
Seeing that Wu Meiniang finally stopped crying, Li Min sighed and said again: "Meiniang, it was all my fault in the first place, and you ended up in this situation, but I, Li Min, swear that I will definitely make you just and righteous in the future..."
But before Li Min could finish speaking, Wu Meiniang covered her mouth. The tearful beauty in her arms sobbed and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Meiniang doesn't blame you. If it weren't for you...
Mei Niang brought me out, I'm afraid I would have gone in long ago
Entering the palace as deep as the sea, I was just a low-status little collector, but now following His Highness makes Mei Niang feel that this is the life I want. As long as I can help His Highness handle some things every day, Mei Niang will
Mom will be satisfied."
Feeling the affection of Wu Meiniang in his arms, Li Min couldn't help but tighten his arms and hug the beauty's delicate body tighter. Although it was just a helpless misunderstanding with Wu Meiniang at the beginning, Li Min now feels more and more,
Wu Meiniang has successfully occupied a very important position in her heart.
After the two warmed up for a while, Wu Meiniang took the initiative to change the topic and asked Li Min about some things about Chang'an, especially about his mother Yang and his younger sister Meiniang. She asked Li Min in great detail. Now their mother and daughter still live together.
In Li Zhen's palace, Meiniang was already eleven years old this year, and she hung out with Li Zhen every day. The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and even Li Min felt a little envious.
"Meiniang, the eighth brother and Meiniang are still too young now. When they have grown up in a few years, I will personally act as a matchmaker for them so that they can get married as soon as possible!" Li Min chatted.
, and finally said with a smile.
Hearing Li Min's promise, Wu Meiniang immediately turned from worry to joy. She stood up and saluted Li Min and said, "Thank you, my husband, for helping me, little sister!"
"Eh? No, okay, I understand. Are you just waiting for my words?" Li Min suddenly woke up and asked Wu Meiniang angrily. He just suddenly realized that he seemed to be plotted by Wu Meiniang again.
