Luye Zanliang was transferred from Ganjingzhuang at Li Qinzai's special order.
During this trip to Japan, Xiao Baga must stay with Li Qinzai. It's not that Li Qinzai has any animalistic thoughts and insists on doing anything like Xiao Baga.
But Xiao Baga's identity meant that she could not stay out of the matter. The emperor's eldest daughter accompanied Li Qinzai to the Japanese country, which was conducive to Li Qinzai's control over the Japanese royal family and subjects.
Of course, in terms of the beast's mind, we can look forward to it as an unexpected surprise. After all, the eldest daughter of the emperor has been a maid in the Li Family Courtyard for so long and is used to doing rough work. She must be very strong. If she has a crush on Li Qinzai
There is a high probability that Li Qinzai will not be able to fight against any evil thoughts.
But from Xiao Baga's point of view, she was absolutely unwilling to follow Li Qinzai back to Japan.
Although she was not sure about the purpose of Li Qinzai leading his army to the Japanese country this time, she was certain that it was definitely not to celebrate the birthday of her father's second brother.
No matter what the purpose, she really didn't want to become a pawn in Li Qinzai's hands.
"I'm taking you back to Japan to meet your parents. I've kept your family in order. Shouldn't you be grateful? Why do you look so reluctant?" Li Qinzai said dissatisfied.
Kono Sanliang whispered: "It doesn't really matter whether I am willing or not, does it?"
Li Qinzai looked at her with admiration and said, "You are finally alive and well."
Wuye Zanliang asked again: "Will the Fifth Young Master lead his army to the Japanese country and massacre my people of the Japanese country?"
Li Qinzai said calmly: "I know what you are thinking. I can only tell you that if the Japanese do not offend me, I will not kill people casually. After all, I am not a murderer."
Zangye Zanliang was silent for a moment and said: "As the emperor's eldest daughter, I will ask your father to restrain the subjects in the country and never offend the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Qinzai smiled: "Yes, this is the meaning of taking you to Japan."
…………
Leading Bu Qu and Xiao Baga, Li Qinzai proudly entered the camp in the northern suburbs.
As soon as I walked in, the big drums in the army were beating. The rumbling drums seemed to influence the rhythm of the heart beat, and people's emotions were also excited along with the drums.
A group of generals in armor strode toward Li Qinzai, stood in front of Li Qinzai, and saluted with clasped fists.
"General Mo, the former Anxi Protector, Wang Fangyi, paid a visit to Duke Li. Yesterday, General Mo received an order from the Ministry of War and was appointed deputy general of Duke Li. He will assist Duke Li in leading his army to cross the Japanese country eastward."
When Li Qinzai heard Wang Fangyi's name, he immediately stepped forward and held his arm.
This Wang Fangyi can be regarded as a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. Although he is not dazzling in the history books, a few years later, Wang Fangyi led his army to directly attack the Western Turks at the Yinli River, captured their royal court, and captured their khan in one fell swoop.
Only by frightening the Western Regions could the Tang Dynasty basically guarantee the stability of the Western Regions during the reign of Empress Wu.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhi transferred him from the Anxi Protectorate to serve as his deputy general.
Wang Fangyi also has another identity, which is a bit embarrassing to say.
Li Zhi's ex-wife, Queen Wang, was Wang Fangyi's cousin. After Queen Wang was deposed, Wang Fangyi's career was naturally greatly affected. Otherwise, given his ability, why would he be just a guardian now?
Li Qinzai also realized at this time that Li Zhi had another deep meaning in appointing Wang Fangyi as his deputy general.
In order to let Empress Wu ascend to the throne, Li Zhi deposed Empress Wang, and the relationship with the Wang family in Taiyuan was very tense for a time. Later, Mrs. Wei was murdered, and Li Zhi issued an order to restore the original surname of the Wang family and obeyed Empress Wu.
Although Empress Wu surrendered, Li Zhi obviously would not continue to let her go just because of her surrender. He was consciously and purposefully easing the relationship between the royal family and the Wang family in Taiyuan.
The noble families must be suppressed, but not all at once. The emperor will not be so extreme in his actions. The queen must be pampered, and occasionally she must be given a slap in the face to make her behave better. The noble families must be suppressed, but of course she must be given a sweet date occasionally.
Make people less antagonistic.
This is called the Imperial Balance Technique.
During this expedition, Li Zhi sent Wang Fangyi to Li Qinzai's side. This was probably his intention.
"Wang Duhu, haha, I have long admired your name." Li Qinzai greeted warmly.
You should treat historical celebrities with respect, and let them sign a few autographs for you if you have nothing to do. If future generations lose their fortune, they will be able to earn a living by selling the autographs of historical celebrities.
Li Qinzai's thoughts were so simple and unpretentious.
Wang Fangyi was flattered by Li Qinzai's enthusiasm and didn't even dare to say anything.
Since Empress Wang was deposed, Wang Fangyi's official career has basically come to a halt. The reason why he was not liquidated by Empress Wu was that Wang Fangyi was far away in Anxi and the Empress could not stretch her hands that long.
Secondly, the Wang family in Taiyuan has been a powerful family for thousands of years. No matter how poor the family is, it will still have its power after death. Empress Wu would not dare to stroke her beard easily.
But Li Qinzai could see that all the changes in the court in recent years had dealt a big blow to Wang Fangyi. From the moment they met to this moment, Wang Fangyi was cautious in everything, especially in front of Li Qinzai, a county man who was highly valued by the emperor.
On the one hand, he did not dare to take the arrogance of a member of a noble family.
"Mr. Li County, the military deployment order has been sent to the camp in the northern suburbs. All supplies of food, grass, weapons, and firearms have been prepared. Please go to the stage to order the generals and swear an oath to go to war." Wang Fangyi said.
Li Qinzai nodded and did not refuse at this time. He took the lead and walked towards the training ground.
Surrounded by a group of generals, Li Qinzai, wearing armor, walked proudly to the training ground. The field was already densely packed with soldiers. Looking around, there was no end in sight.
Li Qinzai ascended the command platform, and a general suddenly waved down the small flag in his hand.
There was a sudden sound of armor leaves clashing on the training ground, and ten thousand soldiers saluted Li Qinzai holding his halberd.
Li Qinzai's face was solemn. After scanning around, he raised his voice and said: "By decree, I order Weinan County Duke Li Qinzai to be the military commander of Honshu Road. He will lead an army of 10,000 people to march eastward to the Japanese country.
Military and political officials, naval departments, etc. are all subject to their control, and those who violate the rules will be dealt with according to military law."
The soldiers saluted one after another to show their service.
Li Qinzai smiled and said loudly: "What I just said is the content of the imperial edict. Now as the commander of the first army, I will say a few more plain words."
"In this battle, all officers and men in the army, regardless of their rank, will obey my military orders, abide by my laws, follow the direction of the flag, and be invincible. Those who bravely kill the enemy will be rewarded based on their merits. I will protect you all from a bright future."
"I hope that all of you, brothers Paoze, will strive for success, both for your own sake and for the future generations of your family. You will make meritorious service in one battle and be kind to your descendants. You will be worthy of the emperor's kindness at the top, and worthy of your wife, children, and children at the bottom."
After speaking, Li Qinzai waved his hand and said: "That's it, all the soldiers, get ready to go!"
Wang Fangyi strode forward, faced the soldiers and shouted: "Each department will take stock of the soldiers, weapons, food and fodder, and set out based on the battalions and regiments!"
Li Qinzai nodded secretly as he watched the soldiers on the training ground assemble in an orderly manner and set off quietly towards the camp gate.
It’s not unreasonable for the Tang Dynasty king’s army to be invincible in the world. The combat power of an army can be seen in every detail.
Looking towards the distant sky, Li Qinzai smiled.
The strategy of leveling Haidong begins today.
The world is no longer the same. Because of his arrival, the world will become more chaotic.
