Chapter 296 Weight Nagasaki

The fleet encountered a storm a hundred miles south of Danzhou, although this storm was nothing to the sea ships of the Song Dynasty, and the strong winds and huge waves could not hurt the strong ships at all.

But the violent bumps and fear still made everyone feel as if they were walking around the underworld, allowing them to truly understand the power of the sea. The ocean gave everyone a fierce attack and made everyone feel a sense of awe for this journey.

When it was almost dawn, the storm finally stopped. Zhu Pei sat on the deck in the cabin, leaning against the ship wall, her face was extremely pale and her lips were not bloody. The violent bumps of the big ship all night tortured her to death, and she vomited so darkly that she had not yet calmed down.

"Sister Jian, I won't go out to sea if I kill you!" Zhu Pei said weakly.

Jian Meizi's situation is much better than her. Although it was her first time going to sea, she was very skilled in martial arts and could adjust herself quickly, which was a little embarrassed. However, compared to Zhu Pei's crying and screaming all night, she basically remained calm.

Jian Meizi sat cross-legged for an hour, regulating her breathing and recovering her body, and she had basically returned to normal. She stood up and smiled and said, "I'll go out and have a look. You'd better sleep for a while and recover your strength."

Jian Meizi walked out quickly, and only heard Zhu Pei moaning from behind, "I can't sleep!"

Just after he got out, Jian Meizi ran out again, "Ape, come out and see."

"What do you see?"

"Looking at the sunrise, it's so magnificent."

“What’s so good about sunrise?”

Having said that, Zhu Pei still struggled to stand up and walked out of the cabin with the wall of the boat. Many people walked out of the cabin like her. Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

I saw a huge rising sun rising from the eastern sea surface, and a thin layer of milky white mist floating on the sea surface. Above the mist, the clear sky was blue, and the spherical crimson sun rose slowly. The red light below it gradually turned golden and burst out in an instant.

The entire sky was dyed golden in an instant, and the mist was swept away. There were thousands of golden lights on the sea. The ships and everyone were bathed in the golden light, as if they were in a fairyland, making everyone intoxicated in this unparalleled spectacular sunrise.















The fleet rested in Danzhou for two days, crossed the strait, and continued to sail along the west side of Japan Island towards Kunzhou in the north.

Just a few days after the fleet crossed the strait and headed north, a fleet from the east of Japan arrived at Nagasaki Port. Two thousand Song troops directly occupied Nagasaki and took over Nagasaki's defense.

The news was like wings growing, and it soon reached the capital Heianjing.

It has been several days since Yu Xiaonian arrived in Heian Kyo. After all, he was not a national envoy and the Japanese court did not pay attention to him. An official who was ignorant of his position explained to him that Hirano Yoshihide's attack on the Song army was his personal behavior and had nothing to do with Japan.

Then he left Yu Xiaonian aside and ignored him.

That afternoon, Yu Xiaonian had just returned to the inn after taking a walk when a follower ran out and said, "Official, the emperor's special envoy is here. Please enter the palace immediately and the emperor will summon him!"

Yu Xiaonian smiled faintly and said to his follower: "Pack up our things, we are ready to return to Kunzhou!"

The follower was puzzled, so he followed the order and went back to pack up his things.

At this time, the Emperor's Envoy ran out. Yu Xiaonian had seen this person. It was Yuemon, the Emperor's Special Envoy who was sent to Kunzhou last year.

He said anxiously: "Why did Mr. Yu leave?"

Yu Xiaonian spread his hands and said with a smile: "My mission has ended and I should have left long ago. I have traveled around these days and visited Heianjing's buildings. Now it's time to leave."

Akihara Uemon quickly apologized: "We had neglected Mr. Yu before, and I apologized to you. His Majesty the Emperor invited you to the palace. Please follow me to enter the palace!"

Yu Xiaonian sneered and said, "To put it, it should be that the Regent Guan Shifujiwara Raitong summoned me, right!"

"Fujiwara Katsugu is also in the palace. He will meet Mr. Yu with His Majesty the Emperor!"

When Yu Xiaonian heard that the Regent Guan Bai, who held real power, met him at the same time, he knew that he could join him and said lightly: "I am the eighth-rank Chengshi of the Song Dynasty. You can call me Yu Chengshi!"

"I understand, please follow me into the palace!"















In the Heian Palace Xianqin Hall, Regent Guan Shirafujiwara Raitong sat upright in the hall, his face turned pale with anger. He had no idea about Hirano Yoshihide's army leading his army to attack the Song army in the Emirate Land.

It was not until the news of Nagasaki being occupied by the Song army that after he repeatedly asked, the Emperor's Reverend reluctantly told him about the rough process of the matter.

This news made him furious. Gen Raiyi actually colluded with the Emperor in private and instigated Hirano Yoshi to attack the Song army. Such a major event that shakes the foundation of the country dared to hide it from him.

Gen Raiyi's father Gen Rai Shin was originally a retainer of his Fujiwara clan. Now his retainer is about to rebel and is ambitious to replace his master. How can he allow it?

For a moment, Fujiwara Lai Tong's heart was filled with murderous intent.

At this time, the brother sitting behind him served as the right minister, and the left guard general Fujiwara Kyoto whispered: "Qiya and Genji obviously wanted to replace the Hirano family to occupy Nagasaki, but they did not expect the Song army to attack and seize Nagasaki first, which shattered their plan. Brother, this is actually a good thing!"

Fujiwara Raito understands the meaning of his brothers. Nagasaki is an important source of wealth for Japan and the fattest piece of meat in Japan. Once swallowed by the Qing and Genji families, it will greatly strengthen the power of the Genji family and will be very unfavorable to the Fujiwara family's rule.

Fortunately, the Song army occupied Nagasaki, which led to the conspiracy of the Genji family. Nagasaki was lucky enough not to fall into the hands of the Genji family.

In fact, every family wants to swallow the meat of Nagasaki. Now that the Hirano family has been completely wiped out, the Song army will not occupy Nagasaki for a long time. It is hard to say who will eventually fall into his mouth.

If the Fujiwara family could control Nagasaki because of this, it would be a blessing in disguise.

Fujiwara Lai Tong suddenly thought of a proverb from the Central Plains dynasty, "The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind." Can he become this oriole?

Fujiwara Raitong was still angry, but there was a little more expectation deep in his heart.

At this time, an eunuch came to report, "The envoy of the Song Dynasty has arrived!"

Fujiwara Raitong nodded slightly, "Please ask him to come in and then inform His Majesty the Emperor!"

Although the other party was not a state envoy, Nagasaki had been occupied by them, so the other party was naturally more important than the state envoy and needed to be personally received by the Emperor and Guan Bai.

Of course, there is definitely no state gift, but both parties do not value etiquette very much, and they value real interests more.

After a moment, Yu Xiaonian quickly walked into the Crane Hall. Fujiwara Laitong hurriedly greeted him, saying apologized: "The officials below are not good at doing things and have not reported to me that I am really neglecting the entourage. I am very sorry!"

Yu Xiaonian smiled faintly and said in skillful Japanese: "Fujiwara takes care of everything every day, and it is understandable that there are no things to take into account. I hope that all three parties will be satisfied with today's meeting!"

Yu Xiaonian's words were puns, saying that all three parties could be satisfied. Obviously, he knew very well that the internal conflicts among the Japanese court were becoming increasingly acute.

Fujiwara Laitong didn't care, and immediately introduced his brother Fujiwara Kyoto to him.

Yu Xiaonian heard from Fan Ning that this Fujiwara Sect is the second largest figure in the Fujiwara family and may inherit his brother's regent, Guan Bai, in the future, so Yu Xiaonian did not despise him and was quite polite to him.

The three of them sat down and an eunuch served them tea. Japan worshipped the culture of the Song Dynasty so much that it was learned, including tea culture. The upper class of Japan also imitated the Song Dynasty and had a special liking for tea. The tea fried was also imported from the Song Dynasty.

Fujiwara Raitong bowed slightly and said, "It was only today that I heard that Hirano Yoshi was leading his army to attack the Gui army, which made me angry. Japan has always respected the Song Dynasty and has no idea of ​​fighting troops. I can tell the envoy responsibly that the Japanese court would never know about Hirano Yoshi's affairs, and it was his unauthorized act."

At this time, Yu Xiaonian found that there was an extra person behind the curtain above the hall. It must be that the emperor was here, but he just did not participate in the negotiations.

Emperor Qinren was indeed coming silently. His mood was as complicated as the current situation. He realized that he underestimated the skills of the Song army leader.

The Song army not only wiped out Hirano Yoshi, but also used this to attack and came to provoke troops to question the crime. At the same time, they occupied Nagasaki, causing their plan to fail. Instead, Fujiwara Raitong seized the opportunity and forced him to intervene.

Now Gen Rai Yoshimasaki led his army to fight against Abe Rai Shi's rebels in Muroku, and he had no time to take care of Nagasaki. Originally, his uncle Gen Rai's relatives took over Nagasaki. Now that the Song army has occupied Nagasaki, the Gen family's wish to seize Nagasaki has also failed. Maybe the Fujiwara family will also take the opportunity to get involved in Nagasaki.

Such an ending made Emperor Qinren feel depressed.

However, Fujiwara Raitong is his uncle and his father-in-law. Even if he really wants to take Nagasaki away, his relatives dare not object. After all, the power of the court is in the hands of the Fujiwara clan, and the emperor is just a puppet who is unwilling to be lonely.

At this time, Yu Xiaonian said solemnly: "Since Hirano Yoshino and his army have nothing to do with the Japanese court and the Japanese court does not have to bear any responsibility, then the Song army's occupation of Nagasaki should have nothing to do with the Japanese court. I should go to the Hirano family to settle accounts!"

This is very sharp. Since the Japanese court does not recognize the protection of Hirano Yoshino, what Nagasaki lord Hirano Yoshi represents Japan, then Nagasaki and even Hirano cannot belong to the Japanese court. It is a prosperous and open way to occupy it by the Song army.

Fujiwara Raito smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that the other party would say this, so he had to apologize: "Nasaki and Hiramae are both part of Japan, but the place is far away. Hirano Yoshihide enforced dictatorship and was not controlled by the court.

What we mean is that Hirano Yoshihide's sneak attack on the Song army was his personal behavior, and the court did not know that. Of course, the court also had the responsibility for inappropriate use of people. For this reason, I apologize again for the attack on your army!"

After saying that, he bowed down and bowed deeply to Yu Xiaonian.

Yu Xiaonian's face was slightly gentle, and she said, "Since that's the case, let's talk about how to resolve this crisis! We can withdraw our troops from Nagasaki, but I hope to see your country's sincerity!"

Fujiwara Laitong and his brother Fujiwara Kyoto looked at each other. They actually knew very well what each other wanted?

The Hokkien land itself does not belong to Japan, and Japan does not care about this cold barbarian land. It is just that it is too close to Japan, and the Song Dynasty's garrison will pose a threat to Japan. If this threat can be resolved, then the Song Dynasty will take away the Hokkien land.

After pondering for a long time, Fujiwara Raitong said slowly: "We can negotiate the ownership of the Hokkien land."
