There are few people and average frontal combat effectiveness. These are the unavoidable drawbacks of Su Chen's private army.
Therefore, we can only frighten the Japanese people as quickly as possible.
The Japanese people had never seen such a thing as a cannon. With their current level of social development, they obviously could not understand the destructive power on this scale.
Since it cannot be understood, according to their culture, it will be classified as Tianwei!
Therefore, when they face Su Chen, a person who can control the power of heaven, they will naturally be afraid.
In addition, Su Chen hit the Japanese king's weak point by opening his mouth and offered him an offer that he could not refuse. It was completely logical to conquer the Japanese king and become his slave.
All of this was calculated carefully by Su Chen, without any deviation.
Su Chen had never explained these inside stories to other people on the ship, so it was normal for these people to have difficulty understanding them.
At this time, some people even felt that they did not dare to look up at Su Chen.
Su Chen's domineering and cold eyes just now made them feel extremely frightened!
For a person who can play with a country at will, it's strange that they don't feel fear!
Not far away, Zhang Liang and others, who had been following Su Chen, also heard the sound of the cannon.
Seeing that the cannonball landed near the battleship, Zhang Liang was suddenly startled, thinking that something unexpected had happened there, and hurriedly led people to quietly go ashore to investigate.
After exploring for a while, he soon discovered that Lao Zhuang and his party were walking in the direction of Fujiwara Kyo.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Liang was shocked at first.
He didn't know Su Chen, so he subconsciously thought that Lao Zhuang, who was surrounded by Japanese people, was the person His Majesty told him to protect!
Could it be that this man was captured by the Japanese?
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang immediately wanted to lead people to rush forward.
Just when he was about to give the order, his subordinate said doubtfully: "Why do I feel that these Japanese people seem to be a little afraid of the Tang Dynasty man?"
Hearing this, Zhang Liang put down the hand he had just raised, observed it carefully for a while, and found that this seemed to be the case!
If he wasn't caught, what was going on?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Liang decided to follow and observe in secret for a while.
He brought some good players with him and fell far behind Lao Zhuang and others.
The group quickly entered Fujiwara Kyouchi.
It was difficult for Zhang Liang and others to enter, so they found a high place outside the city to continue observing.
Not long after, those people came out again.
Under Zhang Liang's confused eyes, many men and women stood in a row, exposing their right arms.
"What are they doing?" Zhang Liang turned to a middle-aged man and asked.
This middle-aged man was often ordered to go to Silla and Baekje to collect intelligence, and he also had a certain understanding of Japan.
He hesitated for a while and said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "I have seen this kind of ceremony in the Japanese country. It seems that the master engraves the slave on it."
"Slave Mark?"
Zhang Liang was stunned and continued to ask: "Who are those people who were engraved?"
The man observed carefully for a while, and said with some horror: "If my subordinates are not mistaken, they seem to be the royal family of Japan!"
"When my subordinates came here three years ago, they saw the king of Japan wearing clothes of this style!"
"Royalty?"
Zhang Liang shook his head decisively and said: "How is it possible? Why did the Japanese royal family carve the mark of a slave?"
"Even though this country is small, it's still..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Liang suddenly got stuck.
In an instant, my eyes widened!
I saw a huge flag suddenly raised on top of the largest building in Fujiwara Kyōchu!
The wind blew and the flag fluttered in the wind.
There is only one simple Chinese character on it, Su!
The flag of the Protector!
Zhang Liang pointed to the building in surprise and asked, "Where is that place?"
The subordinate was in a daze and exclaimed: "The imperial palace of Japan!"
"What?!"
"Why did the flag of Lord Protector suddenly appear on the Imperial Palace of Japan?!"
Zhang Liang racked his brains and couldn't figure out what was going on.
He has been following Su Chen since he left the Bohai Bay.
Therefore, he knew very well that Su Chen only had this boat.
Although this ship is very large, it is only two or three times the size of an ordinary warship, and it can only carry more than a thousand people.
How could it be possible for such a small number of people to occupy the royal palace of a country?!
Even if there is a divine object like a cannon, it is impossible!
Besides, he didn’t hear the siege!
Could it be that the Japanese country wanted to surrender and become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty?
Zhang Liang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his mood was extremely complicated.
If the Japanese wanted to surrender, they could just send envoys to pay tribute and negotiate. Why did they become slaves?
Even the palace was occupied!
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Zhang Liang still couldn't figure out what was going on.
But he felt that the matter was of great importance and he must tell His Majesty Li Er immediately.
After making the decision, Zhang Liang turned around and ordered: "As before, you will continue to guard the rear from a distance. I will personally go back to Chang'an and inform the current emperor of this matter!"
After saying that, he turned around and hurried back to the shore.
After returning to the ship and giving some more instructions, Zhang Liang quietly left with a warship and sailed towards Chang'an.
Su Chen naturally didn't know what was happening here and was still advancing his plan step by step.
The mission has been completed very well so far. Both the Mononobe clan and the Soga clan have taken the bait, and those inferior weapons and armors have been exchanged for a large amount of gold.
In the huge cabin, almost half of the weapons and armor were missing, replaced by brilliant gold.
Facing so much gold, Su Chen was not surprised at all, everything was within his expectation.
Although the Japanese people did not use gold as currency, these nobles would collect some as decorations in their homes.
He didn't feel surprised that he could get so much, but he felt that it was a little less.
But he didn't care too much about it.
This gold was just a gift, his main purpose was to send out the weapons and armor.
The real show is yet to come!
The subsequent development of the matter was exactly as Su Chen expected.
Mononobe clan and Soga clan were overjoyed to receive weapons and armor!
Especially for the Soga clan, their weapons and armor were originally very few, but this transaction has greatly improved their combat effectiveness.
When facing the Mononobe clan before, they were completely at a comprehensive disadvantage, but now they are evenly matched!
At the same time, they also knew that these people of the Tang Dynasty who could control Tianwei did not have any ill intentions towards them.
So he quickly put this sexual matter aside and continued planning for war.
Progress on the side of King Hyosun of Japan is also going very smoothly.
With Su Chen's secret support, he has organized an army of ten thousand people.
However, Su Chen did not let them participate in the upcoming battle between the Soga clan and the Mononobe clan. Instead, he transferred all these people to Peijin to mine.
Regarding Su Chen's will, King Xiaoxun did not dare to disobey him at all.
