Furthermore, because Tokyo is too far away from Fujiwara Country, it is inconvenient to respond.
Therefore, I grant you the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, with full authority to deal with the diplomatic affairs of the East China Sea.
In a word, Xiao Gao, do your best, don't be afraid, I will support you as a teacher.
Look, how heart-warming and loving it is, at least it makes Gao Zhang's eyes turn red.
I deeply felt Master Zhao Ji’s unreserved trust and protection.
At the same time, it also made Gao Zhang feel that the most correct thing he had done in this era was to lick this master well.
The emperor is in my hand, and I own the world.
Liu Qi appeared in front of Gao Zhang again and saw the contents of the imperial edict.
I was a little confused inside. I never thought that I would be having a good time here in Suzhou and now I would have to cross the ocean to accompany those two unreliable beasts jumping up and down in Fujiwara Country.
Gao Zhang looked at Liu Qi, whose eyes turned red with grievance. He didn't understand what this famous Song Dynasty general with whom he had a good relationship was thinking.
"Uncle Xin, don't be too worried. From my point of view, this is a perfect opportunity for you to make meritorious deeds and be rewarded."
"Can I still be rewarded for my meritorious service?" Liu Qi raised his eyes and looked at the scheming little brother Guizhang in front of him.
I always feel that his comforting attitude is a bit too perfunctory. Will he be able to make achievements in Fujiwara Country?
Facing Liu Qi's suspicious eyes, Gao Zhang dragged Liu Qi to his desk.
At this moment, a very detailed map of Fujiwara Kingdom was spread out on the desk, and next to it was an unopened map of Japan.
"Uncle Nobu, come and take a look. This is the Fujiwara Kingdom, and just across the sea from the Fujiwara Kingdom is the Japanese Kingdom."
"As far as I know, little brother, the Japanese country has always been spying on the Fujiwara country, and now, the Japanese country has shown signs of preparing to take action against the Fujiwara country."
"This is why the officials are so eager to let you, Uncle Xin, lead the army there."
Gao Zhang explained to Liu Qi in detail the grievances between the Fujiwara Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom. Of course, these grievances were based on the credential presented by the leader of the Fujiwara Kingdom to the Song Dynasty.
In short, the Japanese nation is determined to subjugate Fujiwara Kingdom, and they are always thinking about crossing the Shimonoseki Strait, annihilating Fujiwara Kingdom, and destroying its country.
...So, according to the news, it won’t be long before the Japanese country will definitely launch troops against the Fujiwara country.
There might be tens of thousands of troops coming. The more Liu Qi heard about it, the more his balls hurt, and he even felt like he was about to burst.
Seeing no one around, Liu Qi sat down and said with a sad face.
"Brother Guizhang, since our two families are considered family friends, you can tell me exactly what you want me to do."
"This way, let Brother Yu get those two unhappy things back as soon as possible. Brother Yu will have no objection."
"According to what you said, Fujiwara's army is just a ball of scattered sand. If the Japanese really raised tens of thousands of troops to fight such a war, how could they possibly fight it?"
"Brother, don't worry too much. First of all, brother, you must have been here in Suzhou for a while.
You must have seen the leader of Fujiwara Kingdom, as well as the merchants and warriors of Fujiwara Kingdom. What do you think of them, um, just from the appearance? "
Looking at the serious Gao Zhang in front of him, Liu Qi thought of the Fujiwara King, who was almost the same height as Gao Zhang, and the short men under him who were not even as tall as Fujiwara Tadayi.
Liu Qi, who was born in the northwest and was about 1.8 meters tall, subconsciously tilted his mouth and almost burst into laughter.
"Short, short and frustrated."
"Then do you know what the armor of Japanese soldiers is made of?"
"It's an island country and it's short of iron. Could it be leather armor?"
"Yes, it is leather armor, but the leather armor of Japan is not the cowhide we imagined, but mainly made of deerskin combined with bamboo and wood.
As for thick leather such as cowhide and a small amount of iron armor, only the middle and upper-level generals of the Japanese country have the right to enjoy it. "
"...Deerskin, can that thing be used as protective gear?" Liu Qi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Gao Zhang nodded matter-of-factly. Of course he was not bragging.
"And do you know what the armor rate of Japanese soldiers is?"
Liu Qi raised four fingers somewhat unconfidently, and after seeing the inscrutable smile on Gao Zhang's face in front of him, he retracted one finger with some embarrassment.
"Uncle Xin, be more confident. Just one finger is enough."
"...10%? And he's wearing a lot of these miscellaneous armors?" Liu Qi's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth were crooked again. His originally depressed expression began to change.
"If I told you that nearly half of the Japanese soldiers used sharpened bamboo as weapons instead of iron weapons, would you believe it?"
"I..." Liu Qi bulged his eyes again, looking frightened.
It was as if he was so impressively boasted by Gao Zhang that he almost flew out of the Zhizhou Mansion, flew across the ocean, and flew to Fujiwara Island.
It was the conclusion reached by the Fujiwara Lord and the intelligence he had carefully collected these days.
"Thank you, Brother Guizhang. If it hadn't been for your heartfelt words today, Brother Yu, I would really be restless."
Liu Qi's face was filled with shock and envy. He looked at the young man in front of him who was still smiling calmly. At this moment, he was really convinced.
When he first figured out the method of military training, Liu Qi felt that Gao Zhang should be an excellent master of armchair tactics.
But later, the suppression of the Zhu family rebellion in Jiangnan made Liu Qi feel that although Gao Zhang had some strategies and calculations, his good luck accounted for a large part of the reason.
But now, Gao Zhang analyzed the disadvantages and advantages of the Fujiwara Kingdom, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the Japanese Kingdom, in a shocking way.
"No wonder there is a saying in the Art of War. If the enemy has no battle but the temple is considered the winner, it should be counted as more. If there is no battle but the temple is less than the winner, then it should be counted as less."
"With Brother Guizhang's talent, if he can take charge of the Western Army in the future, we, the Song Dynasty, will be able to regain our old land."
"Uncle Xin is ridiculous. I am only so old now. Besides, even if I am my little brother, I have all kinds of schemes.
If there were no generals like Uncle Xin and his son who were capable of conquering and fighting, as well as countless soldiers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country regardless of life and death, how could we restore the old land of our Han family? "
Looking at Gao Zhang in front of him, he was still a handsome young man, but his sincere emotions when he spoke, and his recognition and appreciation for Wu Ben of the Song Dynasty.
Liu Qi, who was deeply shocked, stared at him blankly for a long time without saying a word.
With the current situation, he can really become the second Duke Fan Wenzheng of the Song Dynasty, and maybe he can even lead the Song Dynasty to a new path.
I finally caught up with the fifth update and continued to work hard on coding.
