Most of the customs of the Japanese country were inherited from the Central Plains. Furniture such as chairs, which became popular after the arrival of Fang Jun, had not yet been introduced to the Japanese country, or it was only spread among the nobles of the Japanese country. It had never been seen among the people. There were no chairs, so Fang Jun sat cross-legged.
On the floor, there is a coffee table in front of you, and a set of white porcelain tea cups. The tea in the cup is light green and full of aroma.
Abebirov entered the house and saw such a scene.
His throat moved, not because of the fragrance of tea, but because he managed to swallow back the bad breath that surged into his chest, because in the Japanese country, only nobles could sit and look at each other so rudely when facing their slaves.
See……
But I can't have an attack. Although I can write Chinese characters and speak some Chinese, I don't know much about the customs of the Han people. If sitting and receiving guests like this is just a way for the Han people to express their closeness, I will be furious at this moment.
Wouldn’t it be asking for trouble and making others laugh?
More importantly, the well-equipped soldiers outside and inside the house made him fearful. What if the nobleman in front of him, who looked young but not very powerful, angered him and ordered him to be chopped into pieces...
Abebirov secretly regretted that he did not dare to go ashore alone in a moment of anger.
Fang Jun couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the strong man in front of him. He nodded calmly and said, "Please sit down."
Abebirov suppressed his anger, knelt down in front of Fang Jun, and said solemnly: "I don't know what you call your Excellency?"
Fang Jun looked Abe Hirafu up and down and said casually: "This is Mr. Fang Jun, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Tang Dynasty, the Marquis of Huating."
As he spoke, he placed a teacup on the coffee table in front of Abehirov, poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and said, "Please use it."
"Thank you." Although Abe Hirafu looks rough and arrogant, he is actually a nobleman. His ancestors have been the guardians of the Yue Kingdom for generations. He is not lacking in etiquette. He is also quite knowledgeable about the tea that emerged in the Tang Dynasty. He smelled the tea and couldn't help but pick it up.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The small white porcelain tea cup is as crystal clear as jade, and the light green tea soup is clear and fragrant, just like an orchid.
It enters the throat smoothly and sweetly, and leaves a sweet and lasting aftertaste.
I am afraid that even the so-called top-quality teas offered by the merchants in the Emperor's Itagai Palace are slightly inferior to the current tea...
Look at the young man sitting calmly in front of him. His gorgeous brocade robe is made of brilliant colors that can only be woven and painted in the Tang Dynasty. He is wearing a three-beam Jinde crown, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. There is a sense of calmness in his expression.
His majesty is as strong as a mountain, showing his overwhelming authority and noble origin.
Looking at the Japanese country, Abehirov has only seen the temperament of such a high-ranking person in a few people such as Prince Katsuragi and Soga Niruka...
This caused his fierceness to be suppressed and weakened.
It is a kind of humbleness of a country man who feels ashamed in front of the children of aristocratic families, and is full of a kind of vulgar warrior's yearning for famous celebrities... In the final analysis, he, the so-called "noble", is just a villager who hangs out in the countryside of Japan.
In front of the real nobles, the background is too different.
This made Abebirov a little depressed and a little angry. He put down his tea cup, looked at Fang Jun with wide eyes, and said in a deep voice: "May I ask Your Excellency, the Marquis, Japan and the Tang Dynasty have always been harmonious and have not fought with each other, so why did you lead the army so brazenly?
To seize Usado Island and kill my soldiers?"
Yesterday, a cargo ship transporting grain and minerals reported that a Tang army fleet of unknown origin had occupied Sado Island, which made Abebirov confused.
Sado Island is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, so why did the Tang army fleet appear here?
Although Sado Island is not a small place, apart from a few mines for mining silver, what else could make the Tang Dynasty so interested in it that they would not hesitate to occupy the island by force?
He felt that there must be some misunderstanding, but he came here by speedboat as soon as possible, only to find that the island had indeed been captured by the Tang army. Fortunately, he did not lead the army rashly by boat, otherwise look at the densely packed Tang army warships in the bay.
Once you think your side is hostile, you can sink your troops and throw them into the sea to feed the fish without even a single charge...
But he still couldn't figure out what the purpose of the Tang Navy's navy was to occupy Sado Island all the way?
Could it be that they want to use this as a base to attack the Japanese mainland with all their strength?
He was inevitably suspicious and uneasy.
Fang Jun smiled, avoided answering, and asked: "The general is tall and tall, which is very different from the Japanese, but I don't know why?"
Abebirov replied: "My ancestors are Mohe people who came across the sea."
Fang Jun suddenly realized.
It is said that in the earliest days, a large number of Goguryeo, Mohe, and Sushen people crossed the sea and came to Honshu Island to multiply and live. Therefore, some scholars in later generations believed that the ancestors of the Japanese people originated from this, and their ancestors were in the mainland. However, there is a lack of evidence and it is impossible to prove it.
Another theory is that Xu Fu traveled eastward to the Japanese country, then multiplied and multiplied, and his descendants unified the Japanese country and became the ancestors of the emperor...
Abehirov asked: "Why did you seize Sado Island? Please explain clearly."
He is the guardian of the Yue Kingdom, and Sado Island is his territory. Although he is wary of the Tang army's combat power, if he ignores it, how can he explain it to his subordinates and the emperor?
Fang Jun poured tea for him and said calmly: "A certain person is going to the Liugui Kingdom to submit the credentials of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. When I arrived here, I suddenly heard that there were Han people on the island who were robbed and used as slaves to mine ore.
He was brutally treated and brutally killed, so I went to the island to see what happened."
Abebirov said categorically: "This will never happen. The Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and Japan has been a vassal country since the time of the Han Dynasty. How dare you enslave the Han people? Someone must be spreading rumors to stir up trouble!"
Fang Jun pushed the tea cup in front of him and said calmly: "It has been decades since the Sui Dynasty was overthrown, and the navy that conquered Goguryeo was captured by you and imprisoned on this island, and enslaved for more than forty years..."
Abebirov was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
There are not only exiled prisoners on the island, but also slaves captured from various places. No one has ever cared about the life and death of these people, and no one cares about their identities. As for the Sui soldiers from decades ago... although he is not very
I believe it, but the majestic Marquis of the Tang Dynasty would never tell lies, right?
Fang Jun was not angry either, and continued to talk calmly and casually, saying: "I am a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty. I heard that my subjects were robbed and turned into slaves and brutally killed. I can't turn a blind eye or turn a deaf ear, right?"
Abebirov nodded subconsciously...
Fang Jun continued: "So of course I wanted to go to the island to have a look, but the defenders on the island started fighting without saying a word. What can I do? The power of the Tang Dynasty is as powerful as prison. If you retreat without fighting, you will lose the face of the Tang Dynasty.
, if I return to Chang'an, His Majesty the Emperor will have to chop off my head, so even if I don't want to start a war, I will have to start a war, don't you think so?"
Abehirov nodded again...
Fang Jun clapped his hands and said helplessly: "As soon as the battle started, the defenders were completely defeated. A certain soldier rushed forward and occupied the island..."
I don't want to occupy this island, but your Japanese fighting power is too weak and will collapse at the first touch. What can I do?
I don't want to either...
Abehirov still nodded.
But after nodding, he suddenly felt that something was wrong...
What the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty said is reasonable and reasonable, and no one can fault it. But the problem is that my Sado Island is gone!
You're reasonable, who the hell am I supposed to talk to?
Abehirov did not drink tea and said forcefully: "That is your business, Your Majesty the Marquis. I am just asking you when will you withdraw your troops from Sado Island?"
Fang Jun shook his head and said, "We can't withdraw."
Abehirov's expression changed and he said loudly: "Your Majesty seized Sado Island but did not withdraw his troops. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is going to go to war with Japan?"
"boom!"
Fang Jun slammed the table, glared and said angrily: "How dare you be unreasonable in front of someone? Don't talk about starting a war, thinking that I was frightened? If you have the ability, go out now, I promise not to
I won’t hurt you at all, and when you return to the territory, the whole army will come to fight, and I will accompany you to the end!”
Abehirov's face turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "You clearly occupied Sado Island and refused to leave, so why am I the one who wants to start a war?"
Fang Jun snorted and said: "A certain person only said that the troops could not be withdrawn. When did he say that he would start a war?"
Abehirov felt his temples pounding, and he was about to be pissed off by Fang Jun. He said angrily: "If you just stand on Sado Island and don't leave, isn't that the same as starting a war?"
He is arrogant, Fang Jun is even more arrogant than him!
He sprayed back without giving in: "The people of the Tang Dynasty died on this island and were tortured to death. No one has given me an explanation. Then there is no way that the Tang Dynasty will withdraw its troops!"
Abe Hirafu realized that his voice was not necessarily as loud as Fang Jun, so he had to hold back his anger and said: "What do you want to explain?"
Fang Jundao: "Someone must be responsible for this and compensate for the losses. The emperor of your country personally writes a letter of credence to apologize to all the people of the Tang Dynasty and guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen again!"
Baga!
Abe Hirafu almost went crazy with anger. He knew that Tang Dynasty loved to bully people, but to bully people to this extent was simply intolerable!
