"Dad, look, there are many big ships coming to the sea~!"
Japan, Honshu Island, Kanazawa Harbor.
Near noon, the fishermen on the shore began to pack up their boats and prepare to go home. Seven or eight children with buns on their left and right sides were picking up shells or chasing each other on the beach. One of the children suddenly saw a boat blocking the sky on the sea. Suddenly he shouted happily as if he had found some treasure.
Not far from the child, there was a shirtless middle-aged fisherman. Hearing his child's cry, he subconsciously laughed and said: "That's just a government ship..."
Halfway through, his voice suddenly paused, but he raised his head and glanced casually, catching a glimpse of the boundless sea ships. Obviously, a fleet of this size could not be owned by the local government.
"Is this...is this a royal ship?"
Other fishermen also noticed something strange, and they began to speculate.
"No~! It's not the imperial court's ship. That's not the imperial court's ship! It's from the Tang State. The Tang Army is coming~! Run quickly~!"
After a sharp-eyed fisherman discovered the big "Tang" character on the sail of the seagoing ship, he suddenly became frightened, grabbed his child and ran back.
(It should be noted that in ancient times, the Japanese nation only had its own national language, but not its own writing. Later, Chinese culture was introduced to Japan, and Japanese people with cultural accomplishment began to be able to use Chinese to record events. After the middle of the fifth century AD, The Japanese people created a method of using Chinese characters as inter-table symbols to write Japanese. By the eighth century, this method of using Chinese characters as inter-table symbols had been widely adopted. In other words, at this time, the Japanese country used the same method as the Japanese language. Text that looks similar to Chinese characters, but the pronunciation is the pronunciation of one’s own country, and many people know some Chinese characters)
"It's really the Tang army, oh my god~! What did we Japan do wrong? We actually attracted so many Tang troops~!"
"Run quickly~! If you don't run, you won't be able to escape~!"
In the blink of an eye, all the people on the coast fled in all directions, and some people ran away without even taking care of the fishing gear on their own fishing boats.
"Woo~~!"
With a blast of horns, the huge fleet began to dock. Li Xiao led the way. After Li Xiaogong got off the boat, he quickly bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, eighty miles east from here, you can reach Asukakyo, the capital of Japan. But with so many of us, we will definitely encounter local troops from various counties and counties of Japan on the way~!"
Li Xiaogong sneered: "Hmph~! It's useless to block a car with a mantis~! How is Wu Di's rest~?"
"Go back to your lord, everything will be fine~!"
Wu Di quickly ran over and said with fists in his hands.
"Yeah~! I will leave eight thousand elite troops for you to guard the ship at the port. If there is anything wrong on the ship, military law will be dealt with~!"
Li Xiaogong solemnly ordered with a straight face.
This time he led a large army to Japan. In addition to the possibility of being impeached after going, he also took other risks, because the current fleet carries a large amount of supplies, which contains life-saving food for the Tang Dynasty in the future. If If it was robbed, then the fleet going south, which was promoted by the whole country, would really gain nothing. This situation was absolutely intolerable to Li Xiaogong.
"The general obeys the order~! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will hold on to the supplies on board to the death~! However, the general thinks that only five thousand troops are enough. The prince has a rich body and is in the Japanese country, so he has to be careful~!"
Although Wu Di felt a little regretful about being assigned to guard the fleet at the rear, he still clasped his fists and accepted the order.
Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said: "Eight thousand is eight thousand. Even if I don't bring a single soldier, will the Japanese country dare to attack me~? You only need to bring the army here to guard the supplies on the ship~! "
After that, he looked at Li Xiao and ordered in a deep voice: "Reorganize the army and send troops to Feiniaojing~!"
"The last general takes command~!"
"All officers and soldiers of the three armies must assemble~!"
………………………
The construction of Japan's capital began in the Asuka period. During the reign of Emperor Suiko, Asukakyo was established as the capital, located in the southern part of the Nara Basin. Emperor Tenchi moved his capital to Otsukyo, forty kilometers due north of Asukakyo. The people of Chu burned the earth, and the land was scorched. During the Renshen Rebellion, Dajin was destroyed by the flames of war, and not a single tile remained.
During the reign of Emperor Mochito, the capital was moved to Fujiwara Kyo, which was also located in the Nara Basin and surrounded by the Yamato Mountains. Fujiwara Kyo was the first to adopt the checkerboard-like neighborhood structure of an ancient Chinese city, and is considered the "original" capital city in Japanese history.
Many scholars in later generations called Fujiwara Kyo the first capital of Japan, not because the previous city was "surrounded by wilderness", but because Fujiwara Kyo was the first to adopt the neighborhood system of Chinese urban chessboard structure, which was the result of the influence of Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Japan, oh, no, it was the Japanese country. It was in the Asuka Era. It was Emperor Suiko who was in power. She was the first female emperor of the Japanese country! He is also the thirty-third emperor of Japan!
(From the first Emperor Jimmu to the fourteenth Emperor Nakaai, these fourteen emperors cannot be confirmed in history. They should be fictionalized by "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki" to complete the transition from the age of gods to the age of humans. The character, and the seventy-year-old Empress Shingo who filled in between Emperor Nakaai and Emperor Ongami cannot be said to be an actual existence. Therefore, the fifteenth generation Emperor Ongami, who has a relatively real basis for his existence, should be The true ancestor of the Japanese emperors known as the "Eternal Line". In addition, strictly speaking, the previous emperors can only be regarded as kings. The title of emperor was first proposed by Prince Shotoku of the Suigu Dynasty at this time)
"Your Majesty~! There is the sound of horse hooves ahead~!"
The army marched for about ten miles, Li Xiao's expression changed, he quickly stopped and said to Li Xiaogong.
"Hmm~!"
Li Xiaogong looked forward, narrowed his eyes slightly, said "hmm" lightly, and then ordered: "Line up in square formation and prepare to meet the enemy~!"
"No~!"
Li Xiao responded, turned around and shouted: "Line up in square formation, prepare to meet the enemy~!"
"Boom~!"
The army suddenly dispersed, and the soldiers drew their swords one after another and stared ahead with fierce expressions. After drifting on the sea for several months, their swords were already thirsty!
"Dong dong dong~!"
After a while, the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and as far as the eye could see, a cavalry force of over a thousand people could be seen running towards this side.
"A small country actually has cavalry~? It's interesting~!"
Generally speaking, infantry has a natural disadvantage when facing cavalry, but at this moment, Li Xiaogong's face not only showed no signs of nervousness, but also had time to chat, making people feel that he was not here to fight, but to see the scenery.
"Haha~! They are just a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, how can they be the opponents of the Tang Army~?"
The bearded man held a three-foot-long sword in his hand that was somewhat similar to the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and laughed loudly.
