Chapter 2797 The Han and Tang Dynasty firms resolutely stood in line with the Mobu clan
Two large iron stoves radiated heat wantonly, allowing the ward with dozens of injured people to maintain a warm temperature.
And the injured lying here are almost all Japanese, and many of them are members of the Mononobe clan, a wealthy family in Doshu.
The Mononobe clan was originally a famous and wealthy clan, and they had a honeymoon period with the Soga clan for decades.
But after the Soga family became dominant, the Mononobe clan was beaten to a bruised face and suffered a heavy loss in strength.
After that, a turtle huddled in Doshu and thrived. However, Doshu, which is part of the Tokaido Road, is not big and is mountainous, so it is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.
But no one expected that after the arrival of the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses in the Tang Dynasty, the Monobe clan, whose strength and confidence in the Japanese country were increasingly declining, would suddenly find out.
He actually had another way of survival, which was the local Jinshan, after it was taken out by the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses.
The Mononobe family, who was already poor and short-minded, could not let go, so he decided to cooperate deeply with the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants and courts.
But I never expected that I had just taken advantage of the east wind from Jinshan Mountain to have enough food and warm clothes.
That is to say, he had just escaped from poverty and had not yet had time to become well-off. As a result, the court sent people to pick peaches as if he had pink eye.
In a word, you Mononobe clan scum have been thrown into the gutter of history. It is the kindness of the king that prevents you from being exterminated as a family.
Now, after discovering a treasure like Jinshan, you actually concealed it from the court and refused to report it. Do you want to rebel?
Faced with the arrogance and rudeness of the envoys sent by Emperor Kotori of the Asuka court, Mononobe tried his best to delay the delivery of Jinshan.
At this time, Mononobe Ningwan, the leader of the Mononobe clan, found the manager of the Han and Tang Dynasty Trading Company in Douzhou City, and after receiving the promise of the manager of the Han and Tang Dynasty Trading Company and a large amount of weapons assistance.
The Mononobe clan squandered their wealth to recruit ambitious people, and because Soga was killed by his eldest brother, the prince, because of Soga entering the deer, a large number of remnants of the Soga clan who had collapsed also came to join him one after another.
Mononobe finally felt that he was stunned, and at this time, news came from Datang.
Let Mononobe Ningwan know about the Tang Dynasty's relationship with the eldest brother and Emperor Kotoku who wanted to change the country's name, but they were criticized by the Tang Lulu Temple.
They were also asked not to threaten any normal economic and trade exchanges between the law-abiding Datang Commercial Bank and the Han-Tang Commercial Bank.
#####
This made the Mononobe clan even more happy. After all, Datang was willing to step forward. For the Mononobe clan, it was definitely a good opportunity to regain the glory of the past.
Moreover, the Mononobe clan also formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Otomo clan in the mountain area, although they were a bit far away, one was in Tokaido and the other was in the mountain area.
But at any rate, everyone made a living and made a fortune working under the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses, which had a strong official background in the Tang Dynasty.
Since the Tang Dynasty has already issued such a threat, then what are you waiting for? It is only serious to work hard to increase your strength.
Maybe one day, the Oban clan and the Mononobe clan will replace the Soga clan, which is almost completely extinguished.
Just when these two families were dreaming of sweet dreams, they never imagined that a sudden bad news would reach the Japanese country.
That is, the Tang Dynasty actually changed to a new emperor, and the new emperor accepted the credentials of the Japanese country and allowed them to change their country's name so that they could no longer be the Japanese country and call themselves Japan.
Then, on the grounds that the Mononobe clan disobeyed orders, the Nakadai brother of the Japanese king's court suddenly raised a large number of troops and went straight to Mazhou on the Tokaido Road.
Fortunately, thanks to previous operations, the Monobe clan had thousands of private soldiers in Doshu, and they had also received a large number of sophisticated weapons from the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses, and even sent craftsmen to help the Monobe clan make armors.
The news that the five thousand soldiers and horses of the Japanese King's Court majesticly attacked Doshu was quickly conveyed to the ears of Mononobe Ningwan by the Han and Tang merchants.
While waiting for work, Mononobe took advantage of Doshu's mountainous terrain and the cover of wind and snow to defeat the royal court's 5,000 elite soldiers and capture over a thousand of the enemy.
Such a victory caused the entire Mazushu, which was completely controlled by the Mononobe clan, to rejoice, and several other wealthy families belonging to Tokaido also winked at the Mononobe clan and began to make secret remarks.
However, although the Mononobe clan's losses were not huge, they were actually feeling panicked now. After all, Wang Ting represented the Japanese orthodoxy.
If you kill the king's five thousand soldiers and horses by yourself, maybe ten thousand or even twenty thousand will come back later. How many times can you fight with just your own subordinates?
However, what makes Mononobe Ningwan most gratified is that the Han and Tang dynasties firmly stood with Monobe.
And the shopkeeper told Monobe Ningwan not to panic and take out his cell phone first? Well...it was to stabilize the morale of the soldiers first.
The Han and Tang dynasties will continue to provide various weapons to the Mononobe clan, and will also pass the news to Datang as soon as possible.
As long as the Tang Dynasty knows what happened in the Japanese country, it will never sit idly by and ignore it, and will definitely save your lives.
But before that, Mononobe needs to be able to unite more people with lofty ideals, hold on, and don't give up the glimmer of hope.
Fortunately, the arrival of severe cold also put an end to the idea of the Japanese royal court, who was very angry after the defeat, to immediately send troops to attack the Mononobe clan again.
I can only hold back my temper and accuse the Monobe clan of being a bastard who is disobedient to the royal court. Wait until spring comes tomorrow to see how I can tear you Monobe clan into pieces.
And Mononobe Ningwan also knew very well that after the battle with the Japanese imperial court, the Mononobe clan had no way out.
We can only follow the path of this semi-official Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses until they reach darkness. Now we can only hope that this road is not a dead end, but a bright road, a road to prosperity.

"...Is this because he has grown bravery or has a thunder in his belly? He is so arrogant and dares to touch the property of our Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses."
Cheng Chubi grimaced and looked at this letter with fierce eyes from Li Jiao, the manager of the Japanese trading house in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
I never thought that those Japanese thugs would be so bold and eager to attack the Mononobe clan. Wasn't it the Jinshan of Doshu that they were doing?
However, it’s not good for you to rob anyone, so you actually robbed the Han and Tang Dynasties Trading Company, haha...
This is simply like a rat licking a cat's buttocks and seeking death.
Li Ke on the side also had a livid face and was mumbling, as if the few copper coins in his pocket that he had just exchanged for his crotch cloth had been stolen by a thief.
"Brother Chu Bi, what should we do? The Douzhou run by the Mononobe clan is not big at all, let alone a small and broken place. It is simply impossible to resist the attack of a country."
"You are so impatient, let me think about it... Haha, the eldest brother is the prince, right? This old boy actually dares to touch my money..."
