The saying "crow's mouth" is very mysterious and accurate. Not two days after Zhang Fei said this, the flying seabirds and the sea breeze told them bad news.
Summer ocean storms are coming.
Gan Ning's fleet only reached the mouth of the Yangtze River. The harsh sea conditions made it difficult for the fleet to maintain the conditions for continued sailing.
Li Mingda, who was squatting in Chang'an City, also watched Gan Ning's fleet, although he chose to let Gan Ning's fleet temporarily stop sailing and return to Yangzhou to repair and wait for the storm before sailing.
This delay lasted more than 10 days, which was not easy for Pang Tong, Zhang Fei, and Lu Meng who were on the expedition.
The crazy storm brought the sea water with 2-meter-high waves lapping at the coast, and the ships in the sea were swaying unsteadily.
Facing the huge waves, Pang Tong was glad that he had strengthened the coast and camps. Although the rainy weather was not so easy, at least the 30,000 people used bamboo to build a lot of houses and camps when building the East Sea Port, so they did not have to live in the rain. middle.
The bad weather is not good news for Kameda Kazamine and the others. The army lives here, and if there is heavy rain for food and drink, transportation will be interrupted. If there is another flood on the road, they will be hungry.
Kameda Kazuo stood at the door of his tent, looking at the rainwater that had formed a line, and he had mixed feelings in his heart: What should I do? This kind of weather is also fatal to them, especially Shuming who is at the beach. Will it happen? If the house collapses and kills Shu Ming, if Shu Ming is okay, can these people of ours be able to defeat Datang's advance team?
What makes him especially uncomfortable is that they still haven't grasped the population of the entire East China Sea Fleet. On the one hand, the line of sight is blocked, and on the other hand, the opponent's camp is too huge. The Datang troops are accustomed to stationing in mountainous areas. There might be people in the port and even on the ship, but he wasn't sure how many there were.
He hoped that it would not exceed 20,000, otherwise he felt that the more than 40,000 Japanese island nation Lianjuan around him could not defeat the elite troops of Datang. If he was defeated, then he would be dead.
Huang Ji lives in Guijia Town, a town not far from the sea. It can still cope with the crazy rainstorms and typhoons that come every year.
Huang Ji slowly sipped the tea in his cup, listening to the howling of the wind and rain outside, and began to recall everything he had with his father, Shu Ming.
I don’t know how my father Shu Ming is doing in this weather. Is he being abused? Or is he already dead?
Why
On the one hand, Huang Ji hopes that he can inherit the throne and hold the power, on the other hand, he still hopes to rescue his father Shu Ming.
I had no choice but to think wildly in Huangji when the guards outside came to report that Kameda Kazamine was visiting.
Huang Ji was very curious about Kameda Kazuo. He had never heard of his existence before. After careful inquiry, he found out that he had been in contact with the Tokugawa family and the Oda family for a long time. Even his father Shu Ming had several contacts. times.
He is such a mysterious figure. He has the power to defeat him, and he also maintains pretty good relationships with major families. Why haven't I heard of him?
If it weren't for Shu Ming's suffering this time and Kameda Kazufeng coming to visit him, he wouldn't have known about this character.
Huangji asked the guards to bring Kameda Kaifeng in.
Kameda Kazuo walked from the corridor wearing a rain cape. When he got to the door, he took off his cape and clogs, and walked in wearing a cape from the guard.
Kameda Kazamine saluted Emperor Ji: "Your Highness"
Huangji: "Kameda-kun, please get up. I wonder what the purpose of Kameda-kun coming here in the rain is?"
Kameda Kazuo told the story he had already prepared to deceive Emperor Ji: "Your Highness, I am revealing my identity to Your Highness at this time. I am actually the leader of the royal family's secret forces. My family has been secretly Developed in secret to protect the royal family, the identity is actually only known by each generation, and it is passed down orally and never recorded in writing."
"This time the Tang Dynasty attacked, I have already fought with the Tang fleet once, but still failed to stop the Tang army from landing. Their purpose this time is to occupy our Japanese island country. Once they are allowed to stand firm, our Japanese island country will It’s critical. For this reason, His Majesty Shu Ming has already sent me to secretly contact Bangzi Country, Baekje, and Silla.”
"At present, we have only reached a deal with the Bangzi Kingdom. Silla and Baekje have refused to provide military support. I also want to tell you another thing, which is why His Majesty Shu Ming suddenly visited the country this time. It is to investigate the domestic military and people's livelihood situation. , can it withstand Datang’s offensive?”
"Unfortunately, our intelligence was delayed. Datang's navy arrived early, and His Majesty Shu Ming was captured."
Huang Ji was confused. What was going on? What the hell was going on? Didn't it mean that his father was just wandering around in boredom?
Why are we suddenly preparing for war with the Tang Dynasty? Where did you get the information? And why do we want to be enemies with the Tang Dynasty? We are separated by the sea, okay?
Huang Ji suddenly remembered the arrogant letter written by his Shengde to Sui Dynasty.
impossible.
It took Huangji a long time to recover, and he tentatively asked Kameda Kazamine: "Is it because the letter written by my ancestor, His Majesty Shotoku, to the Sui Dynasty was considered an insult to them? That's why he crossed the sea to attack us?"
Kameda Kazamine was worried that he had nothing to cover his lies. He was so sleepy that he simply followed the words and continued: "Yes, the Tang Dynasty inherited the world of the Sui Dynasty, and also inherited the legacy of the Sui Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, some of our families took advantage of the war to harass the borders of the Tang Dynasty. Over the years, transactions with some family merchants in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty were intolerable to the Tang government. You know that wars often occurred."
This Huangji naturally knew that the Tokugawa family's maritime joint fleet had been fighting with the Tang Dynasty for several years, and each time it suffered a lot of losses. However, with the profits from some rare goods from the Tang Dynasty, one of them survived and was still alive. Many families from the Japanese island country were roped in to participate, and Huangji also secretly participated.
Although they were losing people all the time, seeing the smuggled exquisite porcelain, silk fabrics, tea, iron pots and other items still made up for a lot of losses.
It turns out that the cause and effect of everything is like this. Huangji thought about it and asked Kameda Kazamine: "Since Kameda-kun is a member of my royal family, why did you suddenly tell me your identity this time?"
Kameda Kazuo knelt down directly: "This situation is sudden. I feel that His Highness should inform the whole country now to inherit the throne of Datong. Then he can lead our Japanese island country to use all our strength to defeat the Tang Dynasty. For the future of Japanese island country, I beg you to take the throne~!"
Kameda Kazuo opened his eyes next to the floor, with a cunning light in his eyes. After throwing out so many things to fool him for a long time, he was waiting for Huang Ji to take the bait.
