Fang Jun didn't care, and said: "Or, just cede Sado Island... You see, the money we ask for is too little, which damages the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. I can't explain it to the emperor when I go back, right? I want too much money.
, and you really can’t show it, but it seems that Datang is a bit pushy and trying to make a fortune by blackmailing you..."
Abehirov's eyelids twitched: Isn't it?
Fang Jun continued: "This poor Sado Island is not a big place, and there is not much fertile land. There is nothing on the island except a few broken silver mines, and silver is not valuable. The Tang Dynasty did not care about this poor place. It is so far away from the Central Plains.
It is so far away, and it is very troublesome to manage. But it is related to the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and the state. Having such an island can also show the respect of the Japanese country for the Tang Dynasty. If other countries make the same mistake, they have to weigh it.
Do you think they have a Sado Island that they can compensate to the Tang Dynasty?"
Is this going to cede territory?!
Abehirov's huge head shook like a rattle: "Absolutely not, absolutely not! Sado is one of the eight islands of Japan under the command of Amaterasu. How can we cede it to another country?"
Fang Jun looked at him and said: "If you can't make the decision, then let the emperor make the decision."
Abehirov still shook his head: "The emperor cannot cede Sado Island, otherwise it will arouse resistance from all the people of the country. As a descendant of Amaterasu, the emperor cannot do this."
Fang Jun: "..."
He also had difficulties.
I originally thought that relying on a strong country could bully others, but those imperialists who acted rogue might be able to forcefully blackmail Sado Island.
When you are a weak person, you hate hegemonism deeply. When you are a strong person, you wish you were the biggest hegemon in the world... Anyway, the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of going to war with Japan. If you win, you will have to cede Sado Island.
…
But I never expected that Sado Island was one of the "Eight Islands".
The Japanese are an extremely paranoid nation and have been so since ancient times.
He will bow his head in front of the strong and beg for mercy without any backbone. He will also be violent and cruel in front of the weak, killing with inhumanity. When he is on the verge of despair, he will crazily destroy everything, including his own life, for the sake of his faith.
life……
You have to hate him, but you also have to give him enough respect.
The "Eight Japanese Islands" are the lands given to the Japanese by the legendary gods. Whoever wants to occupy them must destroy the Japanese country, otherwise they will only face endless wars.
The Tang Dynasty was not afraid of war, let alone the Japanese state at this time, but the upcoming Eastern Expedition did not allow the opening of another battlefield to participate in the war with the Japanese state that invited the power of the whole country...
However, even if this is the case, Fang Jun will never allow himself to be weak in the slightest!
"The Heavenly Power of the Tang Dynasty is inviolable. If the Japanese country brutally kills the people of the Tang Dynasty, they must be punished! Don't tell me about eight islands or nine islands. Either compensate or cede territory, there is no other way!"
Fang Jun slapped the table, extremely tough.
Abebirov blushed and refused to back down: "Compensation is okay, but the amount must be reduced. The Japanese country does not have that much money! The land must not be ceded, and there will be no negotiation!"
Fang Jun glared angrily: "You think I'm negotiating with you? That's ridiculous! I'm telling you this is Datang's ultimatum!"
Abehirov was about to go crazy. He scratched his neck and said: "If you want to fight, then fight. Even if the Japanese are dead, they will never cede their territory!"
Fang Jun was furious, stood up and shouted: "Come here!"
Abebirov was shocked, and cold sweat broke out from his back instantly.
Damn it, this arrogant and domineering side-buyer wouldn't be so angry that he would kill himself in sacrifice?
The soldiers outside the door rushed in with a roar, and their sharp swords were lined up in a forest in front of Abebirov. Fang Jun shouted: "Send this person away to someone, and don't stay on the island for a moment!"
"Here!"
Abehirov quietly breathed a sigh of relief...
Although he was brave and brave, facing these Tang Dynasty warriors who were armed to the teeth, he thought that he would not get much benefit, so what was the point of dying here in vain?
He turned around and walked to the door, looked back at Fang Jun, and said: "The Japanese country will never cede territory, and Amaterasu will not allow its descendants to do that!"
Fang Jun waved his hand: "Then let's start a war! It's useless to talk more. If the two armies start a war, they will not kill the envoys. I will let you go back today and reorganize the troops. I am here, waiting for you to attack!"
Abebirov had no choice but to leave in stride.
He can't decide whether to start a war or not.
The Tang Dynasty's national power was at its peak and dominated the world. Even if the Japanese country went to war with it, it would have to be discussed by the emperor calling all the country leaders, because if the war was defeated, the whole country would be in chaos, and no one could bear the responsibility.
All he can do is to send the news back to Asukakyo, leaving Emperor Kogoku, Prince Katsuragi, and Minister of Internal Affairs Soga Iruka to worry...
*****
A war will definitely not start. How can a war between two countries be like child's play and allow them to fight each other in anger?
Even if the outcome of war is unavoidable in the end, there will inevitably be a period of mediation and decision-making in the middle, unless the Japanese country is united from top to bottom, and will ignore the country for the sake of the integrity of the country and the so-called land given by the gods not to fall into the hands of foreigners.
A brazen war begins for survival.
Abebirov must ask the emperor for instructions, and then the emperor must convene the ministers to discuss. Once they come and go, it will be the beginning of spring...
Fang Jun stayed on Sado Island, waiting for news that the craftsmen and soldiers were searching for gold mines. However, he sent a fleet led by Liu Renyuan to return along the original route and capture Danluo and Tsushima.
Since Danluo is the Jeju Island of later generations, it has nothing to do with Goguryeo at this time. It is across the sea from Baekje and is an independent country. The reason why it was not conquered by Baekje, Silla, or Japan was because it was too poor.
, there are also few people, the island is mostly mountains and rocks, and there is very little fertile farmland, so it is really useless...
For the Tang Dynasty, it only needed to deploy a naval force here. It could control Baekje and Goguryeo to the north, and deter the Japanese nation from building Zi Island to the east. The strategic role was extremely obvious.
This is also the layout for the Eastern Expedition starting next spring. After all, both Dengzhou and Huating Town are a bit far away from Goguryeo. Having this island as a transit point will greatly facilitate the supply of baggage and the deployment of troops.
At the same time, more than a dozen warships were sent back to Huating Town, and a large number of mining craftsmen were recruited to come to Sado Island...
Gold mines are not that easy to find. Hundreds of experienced craftsmen who were captured on the island searched all over the mountains and fields. After a few days, there was no good news. Some people even started to get discouraged, thinking that Fang Jun would be slapped on the head if he had a dream.
It is really unreliable to ask everyone to search for treasures all over the mountains and plains...
However, Fang Jun's prestige was so obvious that no one dared to question it, even if they had doubts.
Even if you find a vast expanse of land, you must continue searching meticulously...
There are many volcanoes in the Japanese country, or each island in the Japanese country is a volcano, and the hot springs are naturally famous all over the world.
In a valley not far from Fang Jun's residence, there is a rare "salt spring". The hot spring water has a salty taste, and the slightly cool air is filled with mist, which makes this small
The valley is shrouded in hazy desolation, like a paradise in the Nine Heavens.
On this day, Jun Fang was soaking in the hot spring. He put the wine carried on the warship into a silver jug, made a bucket of ice cubes with saltpeter and put it into the town. His skin turned red all over after soaking in the hot spring.
The blood speeds up, and I break out into a sweat. After drinking a sip of cool and sweet wine, my body and mind become clear.
If there could be a beautiful woman with ice-cold muscles and jade bones beside her, caring and caring, she would be as happy as a fairy!
Well, Fang Erlang is already in his prime years. The days of sailing have left him with nowhere to vent his energy. Naturally, the firepower is high and evil thoughts are everywhere...
"Tap tap tap"
There was a sound of rapid footsteps, followed immediately by a cry: "Erlang! Lord Marquis! Found it!"
It was Su Dingfang's voice.
Su Dingfang, who has always been calm and capable, actually had such incoherent moments...
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly from the hot spring pool, looked at Su Dingfang and asked quickly: "What did you find?"
Su Dingfang turned a blind eye to Fang Jun's situation and shouted with excitement: "Gold mine! It's a big gold mine! Hahaha! In the area designated by you, Lord Marquis, the craftsmen discovered a big gold mine!
"
"Fuck!"
Fang Jun was no longer calm. Although he knew that there must be gold mines on Sado Island, on such a large island, if his memory was biased, he would not be able to find it even if he searched inch by inch for more than a year and a half. After all,
Who can say exactly where this mineral vein is?
He immediately jumped out of the pool, grabbed the clothes hanging on the side and put them on in twos and twos. He tied his belt and stepped forward: "Let's go and take a look!"
