However, Komura Masao did not immediately respond and said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand the fighting and commanding on this battlefield at all. Do you think we should arrange for someone who understands to take command?"
"No, you know!"
The Japanese king looked like he recognized Masao Takamura and said: "You, Masao Takamura, are a man of great courage and wisdom. I believe that you will be able to complete it smoothly."
"me……"
Komura Masao looked reluctant.
He is pretending.
Because the Japanese king is a suspicious person, once he agrees directly, the Japanese king must have doubts in his heart. Therefore, under this premise, Takamura Masao needs to make an adjustment and must refuse first.
This is the norm.
This will make the Japanese king feel at ease.
Sure enough, as soon as the Japanese king heard what Takamura Masao said, his face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Takamura-kun, are you trying to force me to go crazy? I think you are suitable, then you are suitable. Especially if you have ever
Having served as an envoy to the Sui Dynasty, you are the most suitable candidate."
Masao Komura's cheek twitched.
Once he has been on a diplomatic mission to the Sui Dynasty, he can continue to talk about what he is suitable for.
Even, this is snake oil.
Komura Masao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go."
"good!"
The Japanese king's face was filled with a bright smile, and he said: "As long as there is no information that the Sui army has moved south from Goguryeo, you will temporarily stay in the imperial capital. As soon as the information is sent back, you will immediately prepare to go to war, taking a ship with you.
The warships went out to sea, preparing to ram the Sui warships, causing the Sui army to be buried in the belly of the fish."
"yes!"
Takamura Masao immediately agreed.
For Komura Masao, he said he was unwilling on the surface, but in fact, he was planning to lead his people to defect to Wang Can. This time, if he successfully entered with the Sui army at sea, he would definitely make a great contribution.
This is his chance.
The Japanese king said seriously: "Koramura-kun, it's almost noon now. Please stay and have dinner with me."
"yes!"
Komura Masao said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
The Japanese king immediately gave the order.
Not long after, a chamberlain from the palace brought prepared meals, wine and meat. However, the meals brought were just one vegetarian dish and one meat dish, and there was very little meat in the meat dishes. As for the drinks,
It's also turbid, and there's no trace of the aged wine at all.
The corners of Komura Masao's mouth twitched even more.
This is too bad.
The majestic Japanese king ate such food and even drank such wine.
The Japanese king took a sip of wine and said with emotion: "Kakamura-kun, in order to prepare for the war, I have ordered that the meals in the Japanese palace will be meat and vegetables. Even the corresponding clothing expenses,
And the number of maids in the palace has also been reduced. Alas, this is an extraordinary time, Takamura-kun, please forgive me."
After hearing this, Masao Komura sneered in his heart.
He didn't believe it.
According to Masao Takamura, the Japanese king was an extremely extravagant person. In order to satisfy his appetite, he recruited countless cooks into the palace so that he could eat delicious meals.
Even in terms of wine, Takamura Masao clearly remembered that the King of Japan had countless old wines, all of which were stored in cellars, and he did not believe that these were gone.
It's just that the Japanese king didn't want to take it out.
Komura Masao took a deep breath and endured this matter.
After all, Japanese kings have always been like this.
Always bullied him.
In his heart, Komura Masao also recorded everything that the Japanese king had done. After the army of the Sui Dynasty conquered the Japanese kingdom and captured the Japanese palace, he took back everything one by one.
Whatever he has endured now, he will pay back one by one.
This is his decision.
Lunch was an extremely awkward meal. After a quick lunch, Masao Takamura said goodbye and returned to his home. As soon as he returned to his house, Masao Takamura immediately sent someone to deliver the meal.
This meal consists of four dishes and one soup.
Three meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and one soup.
In addition, there is also fine wine in the house.
Takamura Masao's face was filled with a bright smile. The food and wine at home were still delicious. The food he ate in the palace was like pig food, without any taste.
At this time, Gaocun Community came.
Gao Cun Community, with a stooped back and a cane, sat in front of Takamura Masao. He watched Takamura Masao eat and asked, "What was the result of this mission to the Sui Dynasty?"
"all the best!"
Komura Masao nodded and answered.
"very good!"
Gaocun Community said: "Now that we have a relationship with the Sui Dynasty, this means that our Gaocun family will definitely gain the greatest benefits from this Japanese coup. By then, we will be able to rule the Japanese country. Even as a
A puppet of the Great Sui Dynasty, but at least our Gao Cun family can go further."
Komura Masao said: "What my father said is true."
Gao Cun Community said: "It's already past lunch time. You should go to the palace as soon as you come back. Didn't the king let you have dinner with him in the palace?"
"Oh, please stop talking."
Komura Masao shook his head and immediately talked about his treatment in the palace.
After hearing this, Gaocun Community said: "This is normal. Nowadays, Japanese kings often leave officials to have meals. Every time, the meat and vegetables are very poor, and the wine is extremely turbid. It is very poor wine."
.This matter has been reported for a long time. The Japanese king did this deliberately to show his intention to fight decisively and call on everyone to go all out."
After a pause, Gaocun Community continued: "But in fact, once there are no officials staying in the palace, the Japanese king's meals are extremely extravagant, and every meal is wasted. The Japanese king is just playing tricks, Xiao
It’s a small trick, not worth mentioning.”
Komura Masao said: "What my father said is true."
Gaocun Community said: "When you met with the Japanese Queen, did the Japanese King say anything?"
Komura Masao sighed and said: "After the Japanese king saw me, he asked me to go and die."
Gaocun community asked: "What's going on?"
Komura Masao said: "As soon as my son returned to the palace and told me about the declaration of war, the Japanese king asked me about the strategy to resist. I kept evading, saying that there was no strategy to resist. At this time, the Japanese king changed his face and said:
He looked angry, and if I didn't come up with a plan, he would kill me. So, I gave him a plan."
"The Japanese king did not adopt the initial strategy."
"Forcing me to think of other strategies."
"Finally, I came up with a plan to ask the king to send a fleet and wait at sea. When the Sui warships appear, they will directly ram them to death, crash the Sui warships and die together."
"The Japanese king adopted this plan."
Komura Masao said: "But in the end, the Japanese king made arrangements and asked me to take the fleet there in person. By doing this, the Japanese king obviously sent his son to die!"
Gao Cun Community had a look of disdain on his face and said: "This Japanese king is really a dog that can't change its habit of eating shit. But with this strategy, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with it."
"yes!"
Komura Masao said: "My son has already promised the Japanese king, but what the son considers is that after the son and his fleet encounter the Sui fleet at sea, the son will surrender directly and choose to lead the way for the Sui Dynasty. In this way, it will also
Able to make meritorious deeds."
Gaocun Community said: "My son is enlightened."
Komura Masao said: "Father is so complimentary."
After a pause, Komura Masao said again: "Speaking of which, during the period when his son left, how many families did his father contact? The greater the scale of our submission to the Sui Dynasty, the more territory we occupy in front of Wang Can.
The greater the power of speech and merit, the greater.”
Gaocun Community said: "Don't worry, as of now, there are already eighteen big families who want to join us in the uprising. In fact, without the Great Sui Dynasty, the strength of these eighteen families alone would be enough to overthrow the Japanese state.
.”
Komura Masao said: "Jiang is still old and hot. My father took action and actually gathered eighteen families in a short period of time."
Gao Cun Community stroked his gray beard under his chin, feeling very proud.
Although he is old, his connections are still there.
Gaocun Community said: "Now, when do you plan to set off?"
Komura Masao said: "The King of Japan said that once the intelligence comes back and he knows that the Sui warships are heading south from Goguryeo, he will arrange for me to set off. In this matter, it is relatively easy."
Gaocun Community said: "You can make your own arrangements."
"yes!"
Masao Komura answered respectfully.
…
Halfway to Liaodong.
The army led by Wang Can has been in Pyongyang City.
When the craftsmen arranged by Fang Yanqian built warships one after another, Wang Can took his people and prepared to board the ship from the dock near Pyongyang. This horse head is connected to the Datong River, and can enter the sea from the Datong River, and then
Going south from the sea.
Today's battleships are all equipped with keels.
This is Wang Can's arrangement.
Warships in the early years were actually just made of wooden boards. Such warships would not have any impact on inland rivers with gentle water flow and could meet the needs. But in fact, such ships
Once you reach the sea and encounter wind and waves, you will soon be washed away.
But the warship has a keel, which is the skeleton of the entire warship. Then the warship is like the human body having a spine, which can support the entire warship. Even if it encounters wind and waves, it can cut through the waves and move forward.
The stability of the warship has been improved too much.
Even if such a warship encounters an ordinary warship and the two sides collide, without exception, the ordinary warship will be destroyed. Even if the keel warship is damaged, the impact will not be significant.
This is also where Wang Can’s confidence lies.
The 30,000-strong army led by Wang Can boarded ships from the docks of the Datong River in Pyongyang. The warships carried soldiers and were already ready to go. This time the army went south, Wang Can was bound to win the Japanese country. They won it.
After the Japanese Empire, the small countries around the Sui Dynasty were actually almost pacified, and the remaining countries in the Western Regions were still struggling.
The army is crossing the sea, and every warship has enough water, food, and fruits to ensure the passage across the sea.
The army was so vast that it headed straight for the waters of Japan.
