Hearing the praise from his friend, the smile on Dinghui's face froze, and then he turned his head and looked at the sea. When parting, my father's stern look came to mind again: "The moment you step on the deck, you must forget who you are and where you come from! A wise man can adapt to the situation no matter what the situation is, and never forget the original intention of his pursuit." I am no longer I am a member of the Nakatomi family from Fujiwara, Yamato, so who am I now? What is my original intention? He gently stroked the smooth rosary beads in his hand with his thumb and fell into deep thought...
Dinghui didn't know how long he stood on the deck. When the Tang Dynasty officer woke him up, the ship was already anchored in a bay. With the help of sailors, he climbed down the rope ladder to a ferry boat and rowed to the shore. side. As the hull of the boat rose and fell, Dinghui's heart gradually calmed down. He still didn't know what his original intention was, but time would eventually give him the answer. The process should be regarded as a test from gods and Buddhas!
Shore trestle.
The springboard landed on the trestle, making a dull sound. Before the springboard was completely stable, the soldiers carrying their luggage stepped onto the trestle one by one. Because they had been on the boat for a long time, they still took a strange step when they landed. ——His legs are spread apart, his back is bowed, and he is swaying from side to side as he walks, as if he is still on a boat!
"Why are there only teenagers and half-old men, not many young adults!" Gu Cihang complained.
"Don't talk!" Wang Wenzuo said in a low voice without looking back: "There are many people here. Be careful that those who speak have no intentions, but those who listen have intentions!"
Gu Cihang muttered dissatisfiedly, but still closed his mouth. Wang Wenzuo sighed. Gu Cihang's eyesight was very sharp. At least the soldiers who came off the first few boats were in very bad condition. Many of them were still thin young men. They looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and some of them had gray hair even though their heads were wrapped in black cloth. Only 20 to 30% of them were young and middle-aged men. Seeing all this, Wang Wenzuo not only had an ominous premonition - wouldn't the next ships be like this?
As more and more soldiers were sent ashore, the muttering from behind Wang Wenzuo became louder and louder. He no longer bothered to stop Gu Cihang's complaints because he had bigger troubles to deal with - there were people around the dock. More and more Silla people gathered in groups and pointed at these uninvited guests. Even from a long distance, Wang Wenzuo could guess the content of their chats.
"Is the imperial court losing its mind?" Wang Wenzuo gritted his teeth and cursed: "It would be better to send fewer people than to send a group of half-grown children and old men! It's okay if you can't get into the battle. The people of Silla saw it What do they think? They will definitely feel that the Tang Dynasty is at the end of its rope, otherwise why would they send such a group of people here. In this way, even the most loyal allies will have dissent? "
Not far away, the people of Silla were talking louder and louder. Wang Wenzuo could even hear someone laughing wildly, which made him even more upset: Well, he admitted that he saw a group of people who even had their heads wrapped and asked for help. It's ridiculous for half-grown children and half-old men to go to war, but if these weak chickens are on his side, it's not funny at all. He suddenly turned around.
"Gu Qi!"
"The general is here!"
"Go and drive away those people who are watching the excitement!" Wang Wenzuo's voice was cold: "This is a military base, not a restaurant or fish bar!"
Gu Cihang was stunned for a moment, then became excited: "General, I will obey the order!"
Hearing the noisy fighting behind him, Wang Wenzuo didn't bother to look back. He knew it would bring him trouble, but he didn't care. He had wiped too many butts for others, and it was his turn to let others wipe them for him. Damn it!
"Are you Wang Canjun?"
The voice of the voice pulled Wang Wenzuo out of his irritability. He saw a Tang Army captain coming down from the springboard and nodded: "Yes, I'm really here, who are you?"
The captain confirmed Wang Wenzuo's identity and hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "Xue Huangshang, I have been ordered to send two Japanese interpreters ashore!"
"Japanese translator?" Wang Wenzuo looked past the Tang military captain and looked at the two people following him: one was a monk wearing Chu robes, and the other was wearing a crotch, a green round-collar short robe, and a waistband. He wears a short sword and looks like a civil servant. When the two men saw Wang Wenzuo, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "The poor monk Dinghui has come to see Wang Wenzuo join the army!"
"Excuse me, both of you!" Although Wang Wenzuo was in a depressed mood, he was not angry at the two Japanese interpreters who were meeting for the first time, so he asked Xue Huangshang: "What's going on with these two people? The general who will lead the reinforcements this time is Who is he? Where is he?"
"The commander of the army this time is General Sun Renshi of Youweiwei!" Xue Huangshang replied: "Due to encountering a Japanese ship on the way, General Sun's ship was damaged, so he stopped at a small island for repairs. The team will arrive a day or two later, and the first team to arrive is the front team!"
"What, you encountered a Japanese fleet on the way?" Wang Wenzuo was shocked.
"That's right!" After reuniting, we will unite our forces and attack Sixian City!"
"Is there such a thing?" Wang Wenzuo's expression changed drastically. According to the information he had previously obtained from the Japanese prisoners in the ambush outside Xiongjin City: the Japanese troops who went to Baekje to support the rebels only accounted for a portion of the total force sent by the Japanese to the peninsula. A small part, but most of the Japanese army attacked the southern part of Silla Kingdom, namely the "four counties of Imna" from the sea. This was also the primary goal of the entire strategic plan of the Japanese. If what Xue Huangshang said is true, it means that the Japanese have changed their primary goal to assist the Baekje people in defeating the Tang army and restoring their country.
"How many soldiers are there in total on the ship?"
"Eight thousand people in total!"
"Eight thousand?" Wang Wenzuo looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Why are they all old and weak? Where are the young and strong people from the various military offices?"
"Report to the king to join the army!" Xue Huangshang sighed: "The military offices in several neighboring states have no soldiers to recruit. These are all temporarily recruited, that's why it's like this!"
"Recruited temporarily? Are you saying these people are not even military officials?"
"Yes, it's basically all floating waves from all over the world, come down!"
"What? Fulang or Xiahu?" Wang Wenzuo couldn't help but his eyesight went dark and he almost stumbled. The so-called Fulang were homeless people and beggars who didn't have their own land at that time. In the Tang Dynasty, people were divided into nine grades according to their property, among which the upper and upper classes were The upper-middle household, upper-middle household, upper-lower household and upper-middle household are regarded as "upper households", the third-level households of middle-middle household, middle-lower household and lower-upper household are regarded as "secondary households", and the second-level households as lower-middle household and lower-lower household are regarded as "secondary households". "Xiahu". In other words, these temporary recruits are all poor people at the lowest level of society. It is obviously impossible for them to receive military training on weekdays, and their physical fitness cannot be compared with that of government soldiers and military households.
