Chapter 531 Silently praise the profiteer king of Fujiwara Kingdom (fourth update)
The Honghe Emperor, who had been silent for a long time, had no choice but to sigh like that before.
"I never thought that the Song Dynasty people from far away would actually make me so embarrassed."
At this moment, the left minister Yuan Youren couldn't help but prostrate himself, and said to the Honghe Fahuang.
"Your Majesty, since the people of Song Dynasty come from Haizai, and Namba Capital is on the coast, there is no danger to defend, so I think it is better to move to Zaizhou quickly..."
The Honghe Emperor glanced at Yuan Youren and shook his head dejectedly.
"If we move the capital at this time, wouldn't that tell the people of Tiandong that I am afraid of Fujiwara Tadayi?"
"I cannot leave, and I also ask that the people of Tiandong know that I want to avenge my past humiliation, defeat the Fujiwara clan rebels, and restore peace and harmony to Yamato."
Minamoto Arihito nodded, no, Jinqiu had just announced that the capital would be moved to Namba-kyo, and then moved to another place with a twist of his butt.
What do the people of Tendong think? What do the rebel Fujiwara Tadai think? In that case, the authority of the Red River Patriarch over the years will be seriously shaken.
Just when Yuan Youren was deep in thought, he heard the Red River Emperor speak again.
"After a few months, I will write a letter asking the emperor to return to Heian-kyo and preside over the repair of Heian-kyo."
"In addition, let the Imperial Ministry build warships as soon as possible to protect Namba Bay from being invaded by Fujiwara Navy."
Yuan Youren's heart skipped a beat and he quickly agreed loudly and respectfully.
After giving some instructions, the Honghe Emperor rubbed his brows and said with a disappointed look on his face.
"Very much, I beg me to draw up another letter of credence for Furen to forward to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty..."
#####
King Fu Queda stared blankly at the letter in his lap, whether it was an autographed letter from the left minister Yuan Youren.
The letters recorded in detail the heavy setbacks suffered by Japan during that period. Heian-kyo was destroyed, the Fujiwara clan of the Northern family was exterminated, and Shikoku Island was taken by Fujiwara.
Taira Masamori led his remaining troops back to the Gyeonggi region, while Namoto Yoshitsachi led his troops to camp in Bingo and Izumo Provinces, halting their advance.
On the rear, Fujiwara Tadai announced the abolition of the imperial rule and began to implement Fujiwara Kingdom's national policy of abolishing feudal lords and establishing prefectures.
He began to appoint officials who were loyal to him and appointed a large number of officials as county magistrates, state governors, etc.
All in all, Minamoto Yourito told King Fukuoka that Fujiwara Tadai was more than just a group of rebels.
And whether he could have all that was because of the help from the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, now Ruming hopes that King Fu Que can communicate with the Song Dynasty court as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if his attitude is humble and his tone is more sincere.
It doesn't matter whether I spend money to bribe the young minister of Honglu Temple.
There is one request, no matter what, let the Song Kingdom withdraw its support from the Fujiwara Kingdom.
Without the support of the Song Dynasty, Fujiwara Tadayi was just a novice and Nayuan Yiqin was a little bug. How could he have the wrong legs of the Red River Emperor of Tiandong?

"Gao Xuanfu, that's the fourth batch of payment, 20,000 taels of gold, and probably 80,000 taels of red silver."
"As for sulfur, because time was really tight, there were 50,000 kilograms at that time."
Gao Zhang looked at the account books in front of him, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Then there is no money for war. No matter what era wars are fought, they are fought for money. No wonder there is a famous saying that once the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold.
Even in the age of cold weapons, gold, red and silver still jingle.
As of the Ming Dynasty, nearly one hundred thousand taels of gold and six to seven hundred thousand taels of red silver had been obtained from Fujiwara Tadai.
As for sulfur, that stuff may have been piled up in several warehouses next to the Suzhou dock, and there was no time to transport it out.
As for the gold and red silver, they were naturally taken directly to the safest place for storage, and then soldiers and horses were sent to escort them to Bianliang, Tokyo.
After Gao Zhang put the account book away, he picked up the handwritten letter from Fujiwara Tadai and looked at it.
Between the lines, there is Ye Chang's indescribable ecstasy and excitement, and it is also full of praise and praise from Huben of the Song Dynasty.
Especially the classic example of Yao Pingzhong's surprise attack on Ping'an Jing, which directly turned the entire battle situation around.
The destruction of Ping'an Jing was definitely a heavy blow to the Japanese army and people.
And it was because of the destruction of Heian Kyo that the Fujiwara clan of the Northern clan was left, leaving only his clan, Fujiwara Tadayi.
However, Honghe Fahuangrui's move to destroy the Fujiwara clan was not popular among the people. Many Japanese officials had begun to secretly send envoys to communicate with him secretly and began to invest in both sides.
Again, in the battle of Nagato Province, although the old and cunning Taira Masamori had escaped, he had suffered heavy losses among the 60,000 troops under his command.
After two wars, Fujiwara's weapons and equipment were severely damaged.
Therefore, Fujiwara Tadayi begged Gao Zhang to sell another batch of ordnance to Fujiwara Kingdom as soon as possible, and any more armor would be removed.
Whether it's leather armor or iron armor, Fujiwara Tadai needs them all, so he hopes the more the better.
In addition, I hope to trade another batch of Song Dynasty copper coins, which will require about 50,000 coins.
Gao Zhang couldn't help but raised his head and looked at the messenger sent by Fujiwara Tadayi, and at the same time, he also ignored his confidant Fujiwara Isamu.
"Our Lord Wei Jiao really has a rich family. Mr. Bu Nao is a little strange. Why was he in urgent need of copper coins at that time?"
Fujiwara Yong smiled shyly and explained to Gao Zhang the role of copper coins. He used gold and red silver to reward soldiers. It was just a small piece, which was inconspicuous.
But the question is whether to use copper coins like this, which are bright, yellow, and substantial, and whether they are the copper coins that the people of Fujiwara Kingdom have long been used to.
Naturally, the motivational effect brought by the latter one is greater than that of the former one.
Facing the wrong explanation, Gao Zhang couldn't help but feel convinced and silently praised the profiteer king of Fujiwara Kingdom.
No, yellow and red things are all worth it. I ask for a reward of one penny. If you are not careful, you can fall into the toilet without having time to cry.
Can you put a hundred copper coins in a bunch of cloth or hemp rope and carry it on your back? Once they see it, they will know that you are a rich man. You can put a large one in an aqua toilet and hang it around your neck without worrying about losing it.
Just when Gao Zhang was having a cordial conversation with Fujiwara Tadayi's trusted messenger, an official came to report, and the Japanese envoy Fu Ren came to see him again.
Hearing this, Fujiwara Isamu quickly stood up and wanted to leave, but Gao Zhang raised his leg and waved it indifferently.
"No, let's chat a little more. They will arrive soon, and it won't be too late for me to leave. Besides, it's the Great Song Dynasty there.
Could it be that they Japanese dare to make trouble outside the Song Dynasty and under my nose?"
After hearing those words, Fujiwara Isamu was quite relieved. At least it meant that the prodigy champion who had a strong voice in the Song Dynasty was on the side of Fujiwara Kingdom.
Naturally, Dong Lai was left alone, and Fu Ren, who was standing at the gate of the yamen, soon saw the official who had just gone to report to the mansion come back.
And told himself very seriously that Gao Shaoqing was meeting with the Fujiwara envoy and asked him to wait.
