If someone in later generations obtains these artifacts, which are regarded as gifts from gods by Japanese people, they will be praised as national heroes by the Chinese people, right?
Of course, the greater possibility is to trigger another Sino-Japanese war...
"But how to identify whether these three pieces of junk are the so-called 'three artifacts'?" A school lieutenant stood aside and interjected. He didn't know what artifacts or ghosts were, but he knew that most precious things were either real or fake.
, and sometimes even deliberately create a few fakes to look like the real ones, to protect the real treasures.
So here comes the problem. Since very few people have seen the true appearance of the "Three Divine Weapons", and the Emperor's lineage known as the "Eternal Lineage" is even extinct, not to mention it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity, even these three rags and "
It is impossible to confirm whether the three artifacts are the same...
Just at this time, Wang Xuance walked in furiously, holding a letter in his hand and shouting: "Master Marquis, the Ezo people have attacked Asukakyo!"
Fang Jun cheered up: "The Ezo people really lived up to my expectations and did a great job!"
Although the ice and snow of Ezo Island brought a hard life to the Ezo people, it also tempered their physical fitness. Compared with the short stature, shortness of breath and weak strength of the Japanese, as long as they were given better logistics and equipment, they could completely crush the Japanese. It's a pity.
The reproductive capacity of this nation is too poor and the population is too small, but this is also the advantage that Fang Jun can "cultivate" with peace of mind...
Although Jin Famin didn't know that Fang Jun had already secretly supported the Eni people to fight against the Japanese, and privately gave the Ezo people a lot of weapons and equipment that had been eliminated by the Tang army, and even the Eastern Datang Company had been exchanging rice with the Eni people for furs, but the Tang people had already been with the Ezo people.
The Yi people united, but he had already seen the clues.
The Tang people never guarded against him on this point...
Fang Jun is actually very optimistic about Jin Famin. He is capable, visionary, unambitious, and principled in his work. If Silla can be governed by him, he will definitely maintain a long-term friendly relationship with the Tang Dynasty. It is a pity that Silla has the final say now.
It was Queen Seondeok. According to Fang Jun’s knowledge, Queen Seondeok succeeded Queen Jindeok after her death. There was still no issue with Kim Famin and her father Kim Chunqiu...
However, as long as the Tang Dynasty can provide some support, it is really uncertain whether Jin Famin's father, Jin Chunqiu, can defeat Queen Jindeok and succeed to the throne of Silla.
Therefore, Fang Jun has always cultivated Jin Famin as an ally of Datang.
"Eh? What are you..." Wang Xuance handed Fang Jun the letter sent by Ji Shima from Ezo in his hand. Seeing a group of people gathered around a few rags, he couldn't help but feel curious and stepped forward to ask.
Jin Famin told him that he suspected it was the "Three Divine Weapons" but was unable to verify it.
Wang Xuance immediately said: "What's so difficult about this? Now that the Ezo people have reached Asukakyo, the Soga family has lost their troops and their morale is low. They can't resist for a few days. By then, the Soga family will definitely send someone with status from the clan to ask for help, isn't it?
Sumama Rise is his son Sumata Minta. At that time, it only takes a little testing to find out whether the 'Three Divine Artifacts' are lost. If they are indeed lost, then these three... rags must be the 'Three Divine Artifacts'
'undoubtedly."
Although the situation in Asuka Kyo is once again dangerous, the Ezo people are unable to capture Asuka Kyo in one fell swoop. Although the other feudal states intend to annihilate the Soga family to avenge the emperor, they are more concerned that the foundation of the Japanese country must not fall into the hands of the Ezo people.
They will definitely send troops to attack the Ezo people, and the two sides will definitely be evenly matched. But how can the Soga clan rest assured? No matter whether it is the Ezo people or the various feudal states that win in the end, I am afraid that they will not be able to enjoy the good fruits of the Soga clan.
, so it’s a no-brainer to come to us for help.
This was just what Fang Jun had expected...
The more chaotic the Japanese country is, the better. What’s the point of the struggle between Chu and Han for hegemony? The best thing is the Three Kingdoms.
In order to survive, the Su Wo family must cling to the thighs of the Tang Dynasty, and they will not hesitate to sell out the long-term national interests; for the so-called orthodoxy and huge political interests, the various feudal states will definitely unite into a group: in addition, they are
The Ezo people supported by the Tang Dynasty...
I am afraid that within a few hundred years, there will no longer be peace on the island of Japan. Melee war between various countries is inevitable. Only in this situation can Datang benefit from both sides.
Fang Jun clapped his hands and praised: "What a great idea!"
He also asked the captain who had not gone to Asukakyo but stayed at Nambazu: "Has the wooden building been built?"
The captain quickly replied: "Most of it has been built. The Namba Jinshui Channel is densely covered and the transportation is very convenient. Trees cut down from nearby mountains can be transported to here along the river, which saves time and effort. There are several ship repair craftsmen who go out with the fleet.
Ten people, soldiers who go to sea all year round, and many people who know a little bit about carpentry, hundreds of people work day and night, and it will be completed in three or two days."
Fang Jun said with satisfaction: "Well done, all the craftsmen who participated in the construction will be rewarded with two coins each, and the soldiers will be consistent. There must be no mistakes."
"Here!"
Fang Jun then said to Wang Xuance: "If someone from the Su Wo family comes to ask for an audience, tell him that he is not here and wait until the wooden building is completed before meeting again."
Wang Xuance agreed, but he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart: Is it just for the purpose of building a wooden building here to meet the Japanese?
The Marquis has grown older and higher in status, but he is still willful...
After ordering the soldiers to put away the gold and the three pieces of rags that were suspected of being the "three artifacts", Fang Jun lay down on the bed in the Chinese army's tent with his clothes and fell asleep soundly.
But what he didn't know was that while everything was going smoothly on his side, Datang on the other side of the sea was stirred up by him into a commotion...
The first people to get the news that Fang Jun had captured Sado Island were Fang Xuanling and Li Jing who were "on vacation" in Huating Town. Looking at the letter sent back by Fang Jun, the two bosses looked confused.
Wasn't it promised that the navy of the Goguryeo people would go to sea to attack, making it difficult to restore combat strength in a short period of time, and wouldn't it cause problems for the Eastern Expedition next spring?
Why did you turn around and go to Japan to seize other people's islands and recruit mining craftsmen on a large scale?
Not doing anything serious...
Li Jing looked at the letter, clicked his tongue, and praised: "Erlang is really brave and brave. Others can conquer cities and plunder territory and be remembered in history. However, Erlang's expansion of territory is like searching for something... Tsk, tsk, it's awesome."
Fang Xuanling covered her face with her hands, feeling ashamed.
What kind of place is Sado Island? If it weren't for this letter from Fang Jun, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty would have never heard of this name. Moreover, Fang Jun only said in the letter that there are silver mines on Sado Island... What is the use of silver mines? Silver is certainly precious.
, is not a currency in circulation, and its value is not comparable to gold and copper. There are not many people on these islands. There are many similar lands around the Tang Dynasty. Why bother to cross the ocean to seize them?
This kid is a bit out of tune...
However, Fang Xuanling has always been very supportive of this child, and he also knows that although this child may be a little aggressive sometimes, he never acts rashly at critical moments and is very measured in his heart. So on the one hand, he passed the news to Chang'an, and on the other hand, he found Xiao Yu,
Use the influence of the Xiao family to recruit craftsmen in Jiangnan.
Naturally, Xiao Yu did not delay. Although he thought it was nonsense that Fang Jun was not doing anything serious, but because he wanted to marry the daughter of the clan to Fang Jun as his concubine to closely unite the relationship between the two families, he immediately agreed.
The leadership status of the Lanling Xiao family in Jiangnan is unquestionable. In addition, as a member of the Liang Dynasty royal family, they are more familiar with the craftsmen who were previously controlled by the imperial court than other families. These days, almost all craftsmen are hereditary, the sons of blacksmiths.
The son of a blacksmith, a carpenter, or a carpenter, and the son of a miner also mined... In a few days, hundreds of craftsmen were recruited and sent to the big ship.
A few days later, Fang Jun sent someone to ask Fang Xuanling for craftsmen again.
Fang Xuanling was puzzled. Even if Sado Island is full of silver mines, there is no need to mobilize troops like this, right? It would be better if you have silver, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it. Your attitude of trying to hollow out the entire island is a bit too much.
Yes.
He reprimanded the naval captain in charge of transporting the craftsmen and asked him to go back and tell Fang Jun not to mess around...
The navy captain had a tangled look on his face, as if he wanted to refute but didn't dare. His hesitant look made Fang Xuanling suspicious. When he asked, the captain didn't dare to hide it, so he told the story about the discovery of a large gold mine on Sado Island.
and told Fang Xuanling that Fang Jun had directly sent someone to send the news to Chang'an and presented it to His Majesty Li Er.
gold mine...
Still a big gold mine!
Fang Xuanling naturally knew how far-sighted her son was and how capable he was of making money. There were almost no more copper coins in the warehouse at home. Even he, the prime minister, could not count the daily income from various industries. How could he make a rich man?
But when the enemy's son said "big gold mine", there is no doubt that it must be a shocking big gold mine!
Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while and felt that there might be room for maneuver in this matter, so she told Xiao Yu and Li Jing the news.
Then, these two people became restless...
Instead of attacking the Goguryeo navy, this stick went to Japan to seize other people's islands. Instead, he accidentally discovered a large gold mine?
