Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 421 The situation in Japan, Princess Changle invites you
Chapter 421 The situation in Japan, Princess Changle invites you
"Fang Yuan, didn't you joke with me last time?"
Wang Shiyu asked, holding back her shyness.
Fang Yuan said something similar last time after he rescued her from the sea. At that time, she felt that Fang Yuan was just trying to make her happy and didn't take it seriously.
Now that Fang Yuan mentioned it again, Wang Shiyu felt that it was not a joke, but that she really wanted to build a steel ship for her.
"Are you kidding?"
"No, I've always been serious."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what he said before.
He wasn't joking, he really decided to build a steel ship.
The navy of the Tang Dynasty was very weak, lagging behind Japan and other countries.
And if you want to face the sea and go farther, steel ships are indispensable.
"I, I do!"
Wang Shiyu was shocked, it turned out that Fang Yuan really wanted to build a steel ship.
Can a ship made of steel really be placed in the water without sinking?
If it can really be used for driving, many troubles at sea will be greatly reduced.
"What do you want?"
Before Fang Yuan had time to respond, Du Miaoyan's voice sounded.
I saw Du Miaoyan walking from the backyard, holding the child in her arms, followed by Hongxu and Qinggao on both sides.
"Wonderful face, little one!"
Wang Shiyu was startled, and then happily walked towards Du Miaoyan.
She happily took Fang Jinxiu, and Fang Jinxiu did not refuse, and even reached out to ask Wang Shiyu to hug her.
"You bastard, why don't you want me to hug you?"
Fang Yuan looked at it with jealousy and suddenly became unhappy.
Mingming Wang Shiyu returned to Chang'an City with him, during which Wang Shiyu came to Fang Mansion two or three times.
It has only been two or three times that I have been with him every day, but if he doesn’t want to be hugged by himself, he needs to be hugged by Wang Shiyu?!
"Husband, your son is very strange. He wants to hug any woman he meets for the second time."
Du Miaoyan approached, dumbfounded.
At only one year old, he looks like a pervert.
Will such a child be able to survive when he grows up?
"So bad?"
Fang Yuan was greatly surprised.
It's so sexy, it doesn't look like me at all.
"Yeah, I was shocked when I noticed it."
Du Miaoyan nodded heavily.
Because of her identity, Du Miaoyan usually comes into contact with more people, mostly women.
Fang Jinxiu is still young and cute. Regardless of whether she is a woman or a man, everyone wants to tease her or even hug her after seeing her.
And something strange happened.
Fang Jinxiu doesn't want a man to hug her, even if he often shows his face, and even if Du He comes over often.
The situation is different for women such as Princess Changle and Princess Xiangcheng. In addition to refusing to be hugged by each other the first time, they became familiar with each other the second time they came over and even actively let each other hug them.
Du Miaoyan didn't notice this at first, but she was shocked when she realized it later.
"It's scary, how many people will I have to marry in the future?"
Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Watching Fang Jinxiu and Wang Shiyu having so much fun makes me feel uncomfortable.
"I will be happy no matter how many people he marries. The key is that you don't marry too many."
Du Miaoyan's tone suddenly changed and she looked at Fang Yuan sadly.
"I'm very restrained."
Fang Yuan shrugged and did not dodge deliberately.
Du Miaoyan cooed, snorted, and looked at Wang Shiyu with a somewhat complicated look.
Indeed, given Fang Yuan's status, he was indeed very restrained, and Su Ziqing and Gao Xiangyu were not what Fang Yuan wanted. One was an accident and the other was forced.
But from the current point of view, Fang Yuan is really restrained, but...
Soon, Wang Shiyu carried Fang Jinxiu back to Du Miaoyan, saying that she was tired.
Because Fang Jinxiu is over one year old now, she usually eats a lot, about thirty kilograms.
That is to say, Du Miaoyan has great martial arts skills and has no burden. Other mothers may not be able to bear it for a long time.
This is why Hongxu and Qinggao followed Du Miaoyan, taking turns helping Du Miaoyan hold her son.
"By the way, what did you say you were willing to do just now?"
Du Miaoyan saw Wang Shiyu approaching and asked again.
Looking at Wang Shiyu's expression just now, Du Miaoyan was a little worried.
Wang Shiyu had a close relationship with herself in the past and would send herself letters every now and then.
In the following period, she even asked about Fang Yuan from time to time. Coupled with her shy expression just now, Du Miaoyan could not help but have random thoughts.
"Fang Yuan said he wanted to build a steel ship and asked me if I would be the person in charge."
Wang Shiyu did not doubt that he was there and replied naturally.
"Steel ship? Is this possible?"
Du Miaoyan is no longer calm.
She knew that Wang Shiyu almost died at sea during his trip to the Western Regions.
But Fang Yuan saying that he wanted to build a steel ship was as unbelievable as if Fang Yuan happened to meet Wang Shiyu at sea.
"Possible."
Fang Yuan smiled confidently.
Take Fang Jinxiu back towards the hall.
Du Miaoyan looked at Fang Yuan's back with sigh, and Wang Shiyu followed.
If Fang Yuan hadn't said this, she would have thought that he was talking about it all day and night.
But Fang Yuan can even make weapons such as explosives and firecrackers, and there is a high probability that he can also make steel ships.
Soon, the three of them came to the hall to drink tea and chat, and discussed in detail how the team to build the steel ship should be formed, etc.
Finally, Fang Yuan asked Wang Shiyu to go to the research institute to find Juzi, ask him to select people for her, and ask Lu Xia to provide her with the money.
The next day, Fang Yuan went to work as usual.
The insult was that I went to Huaxia Bank early in the morning to report to Luxia.
The two began to discuss the issue of rising prices and began to rectify it.
When Fang Yuan got off work, Qin Huaiyu came over excitedly as soon as he walked out of the palace gate.
"Fang Yuan, good news, the Imperial City of Japan has fallen, and all countries have attacked the Imperial City of Japan!"
Qin Huaiyu said excitedly.
His intelligence on Goguryeo and Japan is faster than that of Fang Yuan and the imperial court.
"How are the King of Goguryeo and Princess Yayazi doing?"
Fang Yuan asked immediately.
For a country, the real destruction of the country is only when the king and his heirs die.
Although Yayazi is not the heir of Japan, Yayazi masters Gu insects and occupies an important position in Japan.
"No news yet."
Qin Huaiyu's excitement faded a lot, and he shook his head and said.
After he became a military commander, he naturally knew that the destruction of the royal family was called the destruction of the country.
However, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations entered the Imperial City of Japan, which shows that Japan’s time may not be long.
"Continue to pay attention!"
"Let's go into the palace and report to the emperor."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
He already knows this and can go to the palace to report it to the emperor, which is equivalent to a credit.
But Fang Yuan did not choose this, instead of taking the credit that originally belonged to Qin Huaiyu, he let Qin Huaiyu continue to go to the palace to report.
"I'll go right away!"
Qin Huaiyu said excitedly again.
He entered the palace this time to report to the emperor.
I happened to see Fang Yuan, so I explained the news to Fang Yuan first.
Fang Yuan nodded.
Soon, Qin Huaiyu informed Li Shimin of the situation.
After receiving the information, Li Shimin was naturally overjoyed and immediately informed the officials to celebrate.
Qin Huaiyu, who was the first to report the incident, received a commendation, and the negative impact of the defeat in Goguryeo faded a lot.
Fangfu.
Fang Yuan found Gao Xiangyu and told her about the situation in Japan.
"Until the King of Japan is captured, Japan has not yet been destroyed."
"Although the four-nation coalition forces entered Japan's royal city, they may not be able to destroy Japan."
"I'm worried that Japan will use this opportunity to hold back the four-nation coalition and consume the strength of the four-nation coalition."
Gao Xiangyu said calmly.
She is a princess of Goguryeo and has some knowledge of Japan.
Not only do you understand Japan, but you also understand countries such as Silla and Baekje.
If Japan really dies, it will not be a good thing for Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje.
It's one thing to attack Japan, but it's another thing to destroy Japan. After entering Japan's royal city, these countries will change.
"I also have this worry, so I want to go back to Goguryeo."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Yes, he has the same worries.
Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Japan have always had internal conflicts, but they actually cooperate with each other externally.
Once Japan is destroyed, only Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje will be left. Faced with the pressure from the Tang Dynasty, I believe these countries will hesitate.
Even though Fang Yuan supported the King of Goguryeo, Gao Tianzhi might not listen to Fang Yuan because the emperor was far away, so Gao Xiangyu needed to go back.
"Let me go back?!"
"Fang Yuan, do you trust me so much?"
Gao Xiangyu thought she heard wrongly and looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.
As a princess of Goguryeo, there is no reason why she would go back to help Datang and Fang Yuan?
"Miaoyan has been preparing to propose marriage to your brother these days, but she is still in the process of preparation."
"If you go back this time and don't want to marry me, you can choose not to help me and you don't have to come back. Miaoyan doesn't have to work so hard."
Fang Yuan smiled calmly.
The reason why he made this decision was mainly to see Gao Xiangyu's choice.
If Gao Xiangyu wanted to marry her, she hoped that Gao Xiangyu would be of the same mind as her, instead of being in the court camp and being in the Han Dynasty.
"Are you making me a traitor?"
Gao Xiangyu's face turned a little pale and looked at Fang Yuan with a complicated expression.
Going back to help Fang Yuan this time is equivalent to being a traitor to Goguryeo and betraying his own country.
"You can only choose one side, the initiative is still in your hands."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
After saying that, he left directly.
Gao Xiangyu looked at Fang Yuan's leaving figure with a complicated expression, unable to calm down for a long time.
Yes, the initiative is still in his own hands, this is what Fang Yuan gave him.
Fang Yuan can completely stay in Fang Mansion forever, or even deny himself freedom.
But, he didn't, he let himself choose which side to stand on.
Obviously, Goguryeo is my motherland, the place where I was born and raised.
And Fang Yuan is just a man who takes over his body...
After Fang Yuan left, he found Du Miaoyan and told Du Miaoyan his decision.
Du Miaoyan naturally supports the fact that Fang Mansion can have less harem, so she has no objection.
After Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan finished talking, they left Fang Mansion to go find Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi to discuss something.
But as soon as he stepped out of the gate of Fang Mansion, people from the palace came over and told Fang Yuan to enter the palace.
There is no doubt that Li Shimin asked Fang Yuan to enter the palace because of the destruction of the Dongying Royal City.
Similarly, after being happy, Li Shimin and others also had the same worries as Fang Yuan, and now they are discussing how to make their worries go away.
"Your Majesty, I asked Gao Xiangyu to return to Goguryeo."
Fang Yuan expressed his thoughts.
"What if Gao Xiangyu doesn't help Datang?"
Hou Junji, the Minister of War at the scene, immediately asked.
"It would be best if she can help, but there is nothing we can do if she can't help."
"We can't just rely on her, we must have other ideas."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
Gao Xiangyu’s choice should be the optimal solution.
But if she doesn't help, there's nothing we can do.
Datang cannot completely rely on the help of an outsider and needs other methods.
"Indeed, we still need to come up with other methods, and Gao Xiangyu's is just one of them."
Li Shimin said with deep understanding.
You need to have multiple plans for combat, so that you won't be in a hurry if one plan fails.
"Are there any other plans?"
Li Shimin continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, I would like to send more manpower to support you."
"If Goguryeo and other countries do not want to destroy Japan, then we will destroy it ourselves!"
Hou Junji said in a deep voice.
Destroying Japan is equivalent to adding another piece of territory to the Tang Dynasty.
This is a huge honor for every general, and Hou Junji, who is the Minister of War, is no exception.
"Inappropriate!"
"Now we are cooperating with several Goguryeo countries and have contact with each other."
"Once we send more people, they might stab us in the back."
Fang Xuanling shook her head and said.
Now that Japan has fallen apart, the intention of sending more manpower at this time is obvious.
Goguryeo and other countries are not stupid, they will definitely not let the Tang Dynasty get what they want, even if the Tang Dynasty has such powerful force as the fire gun.
"Perhaps we can send ministers to meet with the kings of these countries in private and express our willingness to cooperate with them and provide generous rewards."
Changsun Wuji stood up and said in a deep voice.
When everyone heard this, they looked thoughtful and nodded subconsciously.
"You can try this method."
"Do you have a better way?"
Li Shimin nodded and then looked at everyone.
Everyone still looked thoughtful and did not offer any further opinions.
"Then two steps will be carried out at the same time. Gao Xiangyu returns to Goguryeo and sends ministers to privately contact the kings of these countries to negotiate. Among them, Fang Yuan's step is the main one."
Li Shimin made a decision.
Focusing on the step of Gao Xiangyu, the main reason is that the benefits required are not high.
When negotiating with the kings of these countries in private, it is difficult to say what conditions the other party will offer.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone flattered him one after another.
Changsun Wuji looked slightly uncomfortable, but had no objection.
The meeting ended after the discussion came to an end and everyone dispersed.
"Fang Shangshu, Changle has something to ask you and wants to see you."
Li Shimin suddenly stopped Fang Yuan.
The ministers paused slightly and then left as if nothing happened.
But many ministers glanced at Changsun Wuji from the corner of their eyes, their expressions were somewhat unclear.
As we all know, Princess Changle is betrothed to Changsun Chong.
But because of the protection law introduced by Fang Yuan, there is no explanation about the marriage so far.
Perhaps, there will never be an explanation. The Changsun family has really suffered a big loss.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan has no reason.
It is not appropriate to ask on the spot.
So the immediate answer is to wait for someone to take me to find Princess Changle.
But Fang Yuan is also very curious, what does Princess Changle want with him?
It seems that I haven’t seen her for more than half a year.
