Off the coast of Goryeo, there were huge waves. A fleet was struggling to sail through the waves. All the main sails on the ship were lowered. Only one small sail at the stern was blown like a ball by the strong wind. The sea surface was like a boiling pot of boiling water. Six giant ships
The ship was like a toy being thrown to the top of the waves and then sent to the bottom again.
Lai Chuanfeng, who had a beard on his face and tattered clothes, howled in the strong wind. His thick arms held the cable tightly, dragging it back desperately. The fingers of his feet dug tightly into the deck, trying to get rid of the entanglement no matter what.
Separate the cables, otherwise, the main sail will not be able to open after a while, and everyone will have no choice but to drift into the depths of the ocean with the ocean current.
Equally embarrassed is Wang Xuance, an elegant man who has now become a savage. Three years of sailing at sea have long tempered this rich scholar into a qualified sailor. His dark face, thick arms, and muscles
His chest was stretched out, and his whole body was soaked by the sea water. He was still shouting, hey, hey, and allowed the cable to cut into the muscles of his shoulders.
Hypatia stood on the bridge, holding a telescope and looking at any land that appeared in sight. This time, if no suitable docking place could be found, the fleet would be completely in dire straits, even though it suffered losses along the way.
Seven battleships, but she doesn't have much sadness, because the sea doesn't give you time to be sad at all.
Three flames suddenly rose from the leader of the Wave Wave. After jumping into the air, they suddenly exploded and looked very bright under the leaden gray clouds.
Lai Chuanfeng tightly wrapped the cable in his hand around the winch, and six sturdy men immediately turned in circles to stir the winch. Wang Xuance suddenly let go of the cable in his hand, and saw a huge sail covered with patches rising rapidly.
After getting on the main mast, the big ship paused for a moment, the small sail fell down, and a small triangular sail quickly rose, changing the direction of the giant ship and leaping forward to the right.
This ship was not the only one to make changes. The other five Seawolf-class battleships made the same move at the same time. With the help of strong wind, the main sail led the giant ship to jump out of the ocean current and move forward in the direction of the east wind.
"Land!" Hypatia first discovered the shadow of petrels in the sky. As long as you see this sea spirit, it means that land is right in front of you...
He Ping is He Shao's cousin. He originally had a good future. He worked at Honglu Temple. He was promoted to the sixth rank at the age of thirty. He had a bright future. The three-year promotion assessment began. He Ping
He is full of confidence in himself. Not to mention relying on his cousin He Shao, the richest businessman in the Tang Dynasty, his achievements in the past three years alone are enough to send him to the position of the sixth rank. It is not a big problem to become the head of Honglu Temple.
, when I reach that position, I can be regarded as a proud ancestor.
Things turned out as he wished. He was promoted to a higher level with first-class evaluation. Just when the whole family was immersed in joy, a piece of appointment knocked him from the top of the bright mountain to the invincible abyss.
"Go to Japan as an envoy, monitor Japan, understand Japan, and supervise the export of silver..."
Then He Ping, who had just been promoted to the sixth rank officer, was sent by the East China Sea Fleet to the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty - the Japanese state. Time flies, and six years have passed in great anxiety. He Ping, who is thirty-six years old but has gray hair, spends every day
What I have to do is to stand on the seaside and look at my hometown in the distance. For this reason, it never stops raining or raining.
This well-behaved Japanese girl Ping Bachi has been with him for five years and has given birth to two children. He Ping is still full of resentment towards this land.
Coming from Chang'an to the Japanese Kingdom, the gap is too big, it's like falling from heaven to hell. If it's just hardship, He Ping doesn't really care. When he was in the academy, he built rockeries and ate steamed buns several times.
Months of physical fatigue and lack of food are not problems for him. The academy emphasizes self-reliance. There is good rice and abundant fish here. He can live by just getting some vegetables. If people from the academy
If you can't even provide your own basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, then you're really sorry for your teacher's teachings.
Changsun Wuji is a bastard. My cousin offended you, why take it out on me? If you send me to a remote mountainous area in the empire, I will never curse you, but will be grateful to you. But if you send me to
What's going on with the Monkey Nest?
About two hundred sailors who had committed serious crimes, and two bookkeepers who only knew how to drink and not know how to keep accounts, were in charge of more than 20,000 Japanese mining slaves in Yinshan. This was He Ping's main job.
When he was placed under surveillance of the Japanese state, He Ping didn't know how to monitor it. Since then, the ships of the Japanese state have been turned into broken boards by the East China Sea Fleet. Although Fujiwara Kyo is the capital of the Japanese state, its population is only more than 80,000, and the low city wall cannot be used at all.
There is no way to withstand the high-intensity attack. Every time He Ping sees Fujiwara Kyo, he thinks that if I give him eight thousand soldiers, he will be able to wipe out this place.
After the bamboo was burned and then sharpened, it became the weapon of Japanese soldiers. The bamboo was cut into bamboo slices and connected in series to form bamboo armor. Only the nobles could own iron weapons.
After observing several Japanese wars against rebellion, He Ping left Fujiwara Kyo far away and lived in Ginshan. In his opinion, helping the empire collect money by blowing soot was far more important than monitoring the Japanese. A few powerful people
The warriors were a joke in front of the Tang Dynasty's army. According to He Ping's judgment, within two to three hundred years, the Japanese country would not be able to reach the current political, cultural, and military levels of the Tang Dynasty.
Prince Mashimon died in Ikaruga Palace, and the Soga family expanded extremely. A woman jumped out and led a group of powerful assassins to kill Soga Irika, and then claimed to be Emperor Kogoku.
Emperor Kogi had a son who was ten years old. He Ping met this prince and found that he was different from others, his appearance was also very different from others, and he spoke Chang'an dialect extremely fluently, which was very rare among the Japanese.
Because the prime minister spoke Chang'an dialect to others, He Ping was the boy's teacher for a long time. In addition to the knowledge that the academy ordered not to be transmitted to outsiders, he taught him almost all the Confucian classics.
"It's strange to say that no one has seen Emperor Kogi, including the closest ministers of Japan, and no one can see the true face of Emperor Kogi, because the emperor's face is always covered with a veil.
Everyone who had seen the emperor's face was dead. Those veterans who survived from the early years, after swearing to their descendants that the emperor's blood was beyond words, immediately committed suicide with their swords. There was no exception.
He Ping was like an outsider, watching the Japanese capital move from Fujiwara Kyo to Namba, and then to Asuka. None of this had anything to do with him. Hollowing out the silver mountains here was what he wanted to do.
The East China Sea Fleet would come over once a year to transport the refined silver. The business of the Tang Dynasty became more and more prosperous, and the demand for silver was very large. In six years, He Ping's official position became a full fifth rank, but such changes
, it was of no use in the Japanese country.
He Ping came to the beach again and walked on the soft beach with his hands behind his back. This was one of his few hobbies. The waves rolled up the white foam and washed up on the beach again and again, and then slowly receded. Occasionally,
There would be one or two small fish left jumping helplessly on the beach. People in the academy heard the story about fish and children told by Marquis Yun, so at this time, He Ping would bend down to pick up those stranded small fish, and then
Then throw it into the sea with all your strength...
A stout young man followed He Ping, followed his gaze towards the sea, and asked He Ping in a low voice: "Sir, do you think of your hometown?"
He Ping nodded and said, "Yes, it has been six years. I miss my hometown all the time. I even dreamed of going back last night."
"Sir, I only know that the Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful, but my understanding of your country is limited to this. Can you help the students clear up their doubts?"
He Ping smiled, patted the young man's head and said, "You know enough. It's good to know that it is an extremely powerful country and to be afraid. If you know too much, you will despair!"
"Japan is also making progress. My mother has pacified the Japanese archipelago. As long as we learn from the Tang Dynasty, Japan will be as powerful as the Tang Dynasty!"
He Ping laughed again. Such childish words made him very happy today. He took the child's hand to the beach, sat on the sedan chair, and was lifted up by sixteen mining slaves. He looked back again
Dahai said: "Strength is actually the disaster of the Japanese country. There is no way to compare one step of an ant with one step of an elephant."
The young man nodded and asked: "I have been studying national politics recently and know that silver is a very precious thing. Since silver is produced in Japan, why are the Japanese not qualified to mine and use silver?"
He Ping looked at the young man and said awkwardly: "Because the Tang Dynasty needs silver, you can't use it."
"Why?" the young man asked.
"You'd better ask your mother, she should know why..."
Today is the time to check the amount of silver. He Ping needs to supervise it personally. He Ping will never be sloppy at this point. He must keep very detailed records of how much is produced every month and how much is put into the warehouse.
Outside Yinshan is a very vast grassland. Young people are galloping on the grassland on horses, followed by hundreds of slaves running desperately. In the center of the grassland, there stands a snow-white tent. At the beginning of every spring, the Queen
They will bring Prince Hairpin to this grassland to live for a while.
The Queen in the tent was sitting on her knees in front of the table, holding a brush in her hand and constantly reviewing the memorials in front of her. Just when she was about to finish her work, Prince Hairpin opened the curtain and got in. There was no need to announce the people who entered the Emperor's tent.
There is only Prince Hairpin.
The emperor put down the pen in his hand, sighed and said: "Calm down, calm down, you are about to become the king, why are you still so irritable?"
Prince Hairpin picked up the cup in front of the emperor and drank all the water in it. Then he asked his mother angrily: "I asked my husband today, since silver is produced in Japan, why are the Japanese not qualified to mine and use silver?"
The emperor raised his head and looked at his son with a smile and said, "What do you say, sir?"
"The gentleman's answer was very unreasonable. He said it was because Datang needed money!"
"Sir, you are right. That's the truth. Datang needs money, which explains everything. His answer is very true and appropriate!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
