At night, the sound of waves gradually fades, the violent waves during the day, and the night is gentle like Mianyang, the moon hangs in the air and is reflected on the sea, with a kind of quiet beauty.

Ikkyu and Lebingu sat opposite each other.

There were some food on the beach in front of the two of them. There were three cups of beef jerky produced by Chengfu, and some wine snacks made with whale meat specially prepared by Liu Sanshao for Li Mu... It was not a delicacy, but for Li Bingwei, it was already like a fairyland on earth.

Ikkyu looked at the voracious Li Bingwei, and all he recalled was the scene when he was only a few years old. Li Bingwei took him to escape and fight to protect him. At the time, Li Bingwei was a very strong samurai, but now, he is as thin as an old man, with gray hair and gray hair.

After being silent for a long time, Ikkyu said, "In the past two years, I have benefited a lot and learned a lot. The vastness of the Central Plains is unimaginable to the people of Japan. I don't want to stay in Japan for the rest of my life. I want to live in a wider world and save my father. I will take him to the Tang Dynasty, Uncle Li Bingwei, you can go with us."

Li Bingwei remained silent, just chewing silently. Ichikyu, who was familiar with his personality, knew that this was Li Bingwei's way of expressing his objection.

"I don't want to be the emperor." Ikkyu said firmly: "Uncle Li Bingwei, when I arrived in the Tang Dynasty, I knew what a frog in the well was. Our country is the bottom of the well, and we are all toads at the bottom of the well. The territory of the Tang Dynasty is so vast that just one palace is larger than the entire country of our country. I am afraid that the whole country is dozens of times larger than that of the country of Japan. But those who rule such a vast territory only call themselves the emperor - but in our country of Japan, they overestimate their own abilities to call themselves the emperor. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Li Bingwei didn't say anything, but his breath became heavy. He was a patriot and loyal to Japan. How could he be used to listening to Ikkyu, the future heir and arranged his own motherland? If he hadn't been loyal to him and his son, he would have exploded long ago.

"The Tang Dynasty's outstanding people and places are far superior to Japan in terms of culture, technology, and rituals and music..."

Li Bingwei finally couldn't help but want to speak, but was interrupted by Ikkyu: "Uncle Li Bingwei, don't think that I am trying to destroy my own prestige. This is the fact! Look at our country, what's not learning from others? We can't catch up with you! We can't deny it!"

"Also," Ikkyu looked at Li Mu by the bonfire not far away, lowered his voice, and said, "My mentor is born to know. I claim to be smart, but there is no secret in front of my mentor. He can predict that whatever I think or do, nothing is that I can surpass him-"

"How is this possible?" Li Bingwei watched Ikkyu grow up and saw all kinds of magical things in Ikkyu. He thought Ikkyu would be the smartest person in the world in the future, but Ikkyu told him that there are people who are born to know in this world. Is he a god?

Ikyu focused his attention and said, "I will follow my mentor's path and go all the way until I die."

Li Bingwei was silent for a long time, sighed and took another sip of wine. He knew how tenacious Ikkyu's willpower was. Since he said that, he was afraid that he would not be able to change his thoughts.

Ikkyu continued, "Uncle Li Bingwei, do you think I don't love my country? Do you know? Before going to sea this time, I asked my mentor if he wanted to conquer Japan. What do you think of his mentor?"

Li Bingwei smiled sarcastically and said, "Of course he said he had lie to you with a high-sounding sound? Could it be that he?"

Ikkyu smiled bitterly and said, "If this is the case, it would be fine. My mentor answered me like this. Japan is like a useless person."

"Can't rib?" Li Bingwei was a little educated and could not understand this kind of metaphor. Ichikyu had to explain, saying, "The so-called chicken ribs are tasteless and a pity to abandon them. He never took Japan seriously. In his heart, Japan may not be as good as Silla and Baekje."

Li Bingwei was furious: "How can he compare us with Silla Baekje? Baekje is better, but Silla's national strength is weak. How can we be our opponent?"

Ikkyu smiled and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Li Bingwei, look, you know that Japan can only compare with countries like Silla and Baekje." He pointed to the fleet on the sea and said to Li Bingwei: "No more, look at this fleet, whether it is Japan or Baekje, which country is its opponent?"

Li Bingwei was silent. Although he did not understand naval battles, he could see that a Chang'an ship was enough to wipe out the Japanese naval army, if it could be called a naval army.

"We actually don't even have the qualifications to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty."

Ikki's words and sentences touched Li Bingwei's heart. It was not that he didn't know it, but he had never dared to face it.

"Tomorrow, we will set off north. The teacher means to find a mine vein on Honshu Island."

"Mine Veins?" Li Bingwei's footprints were all over Japan, but he didn't know where there were mineral Veins in Japan. Japan has always been a place with barren resources. Even if there were, how could Su I, the Essay, would probably fight.

Ikyu smiled and said, "Su I, the Hokkien, is rampant in our country of Japan. Facing my mentor, his knowledge is not enough. If he is smarter, it is best not to hide. If he comes out, his mentor will clean up him." Li Bingwei finally discovered that Ikyu's strange thing was. He had almost blind admiration for Li Mu, and he didn't care whether this matter could work.

Li Bingwei decided not to persuade him anymore. He knew it would be useless if he persuaded him. He would rather follow Ikkyu first, see how things will develop, and wait for an opportunity to act.

"Life is too short, and even if you spend your whole life, you will not be able to see the whole picture of the whole world. Since this is the case, you have to fight for every second. Fame and fortune are all passing by. The most important thing is to truly leave something for future generations."

Li Bingwei was confused and said in a daze: "Ikyu, what do you want to leave for future generations?"

Ikkyu smiled, pointed to his head, and said, "Science, you don't understand it even after you say it. I have told his mentor that when he set out tomorrow, he will take all the people on the island, but when he reaches the next supply point, he will have to get off the boat."

Li Bingwei said with gratitude: "This is already great, it's already great if you can get ashore."

Although we got ashore, we were probably dead. But at least we were better than being trapped and starved to death on the island? Besides, this is the Tang Dynasty fleet and there is no obligation to save them at all.

...

Li Mu asked the stonemason to prepare the stone slab overnight and buried the carved stone slab in a secret place. After doing this, only Danshui's supplies were left.

In fact, it’s nothing to do without supply. The fleet reserved fresh water is enough for the required one. Just in case, prepare more, which will make it easier for the empty ships to have insufficient gravity at sea and cannot withstand the waves.

Li Mu couldn't afford to delay, he had more important things to do, he wanted to find the legendary Shijian Silver Mine.

Why is it said to be legendary? Because Li Mu knew this place and had heard of his reputation, but for two lifetimes, he didn't know where this place was.

Needless to say, this life is the first time he came to Japan. In his previous life, when he was born, Shi Jian Silver Mine and the mountain was closed. He had never seen the glory of Shi Jian Silver Mine with his own eyes.

But he has heard a lot about the legend of Ishimi Silver Mine. Ishimi Silver Mine is located in Shimane Prefecture, Honshu Island, Japan. The deposit was discovered in the 16th century and is one of the representative silver deposits in the world in the 17th and 18th century. It was mined for more than 400 years from the late Warring States Period in Japan to the early Edo Period. In the 17th century, the silver output here accounted for one-third of the world's total silver output, which shows the reserves.

The most important feature of Shijian Silver Mine is that it is very easy to mine. It does not require any chemical means that will be available in later generations, but can be directly primitive smelting methods. The huge reserves of Shijian Silver Mine can be relieved very quickly, but the embarrassment of the Tang Dynasty's silver blasting.

If Li Tai was in Huining, everything went well, Huining and Shijian Silver Mine would become two huge silver mines that echoed each other one mile away. The reserves of these two large silver mines were enough to support Li Mu's long-planned monetary reforms, and to turn the circulating currency of the Tang Dynasty from copper to silver.

But in his two lives, he has never been to Nejima Prefecture, so he can't find this place. Although he can draw a map of the world, he knows where to go. And there is another biggest problem, that is, the place names in ancient and modern times may not be the same. Even if he wants to inquire, he has no place to inquire? Do you ask everyone, I heard that there is a silver mine in Japan that has a considerable reserve. Please tell me where and I will dig it?

This is obviously illogical, but the sea is boundless. Although the land area of ​​Japan is not large, it is long and mostly mountainous, so it is even more difficult to find it.

What's even more difficult is that this thing cannot be said. Bai Yin is too sensitive and no matter how he asks, he seems a little malicious.

Li Mu led the fleet along Honshu Island for ten days, but still couldn't find a place that matched the rumors, so he couldn't help but feel a little irritated. During the ten days he was marching, the news that a huge fleet appeared on the coast of Honshu Island had reached the ears of all the Japanese powerful people.

Of course, this includes Suwo Eagle.

Su I, Ekima, is not a fool, and he can certainly think of things that Li Bingwei can't think of. Such a huge fleet cannot be from Silla or Baekje. Their national strength cannot afford such a huge fleet. There are only these countries in Japan's neighbors. After two are excluded, is it possible that the remaining one is also it?

During these ten days, the strategist entered and left his mansion and provided various opinions. But Su I, Emily, was not satisfied because the opinions of these strategists were nothing more than two types. One was called blindness and the other was called kneeling and licking.

As the name suggests, blindness means just thinking that you are blind and cannot see such a huge fleet as the Tang Dynasty wandering near the sea. I just think that you don’t know what you like. Kneel and lick it. On the contrary, take the initiative to contact the Tang Dynasty fleet and see what they need, try to satisfy them as much as possible.

But neither of these two ideas was what Suwo Ekima wanted. He came up with a solution that his adviser dared not even think about.

He wanted to know what the purpose of the Tang Dynasty fleet was. Then, based on their purpose, he designed a trap and killed all the Tang people. The Tang people died, and this huge fleet was his Suwo Xiayi!

No one knows better than Su I, Emily, what it means to have such a powerful fleet in Japan.

It means it cannot be surpassed. If this powerful fleet is supported, the Suwo family can guarantee at least three generations of worry-free.

As for what will cause revenge from the Tang Dynasty?

Su I, Emily, doesn't care. He is very brave, but he can get to where he is today, not just because he is brave.

He concluded that even the Tang Dynasty could not afford much of such a huge fleet. If this fleet was eaten by itself, then in a short time, the Tang Dynasty might have sent such a large fleet to attack Japan.

So what if you attack? Didn’t you have a fleet at that time? At most, both sides will be injured, and the muscles and bones of your Tang Dynasty will be injured. Even if you don’t understand your wishful thinking, it doesn’t matter. Isn’t there an emperor in name? Su Wo’s family has no loss.

But he dared not say this idea because, even if he was not afraid of the Tang Dynasty, the others under his command were afraid of the Tang Dynasty like tigers. If they were just simple fear, it would be easy to do. These people's yearning for the Tang Dynasty in their bones was even more afraid of the Tang Dynasty. If he said what he was thinking, he could not guarantee that these short-sighted guys would betray him to please the Tang Dynasty.

It’s not that I’m afraid of betrayal, but this risk is not necessary.

Suwo Ekiji sent all the warriors under his command to the place where the Tang Dynasty fleet landed, and finally learned that the Tang Dynasty's navy was looking for a mine vein. Just like Li Bingwei's subconscious thoughts, Suwo Ekiji could not think of any mineral deposits in Japan, which was worthy of the Tang Dynasty's mobilization.

But the more this happens, it means that the Tang Dynasty's plan is very big? Su We, Emily, changed his mind. Not only did he know the news about the mine veins that the Tang Dynasty had worked hard to get, but he also wanted the fleet.

Gradually, a plan that was close to perfection formed in his mind.

He decided not to be blind and started with a licking dog.

Su I, the Hokkien, grindled the ink for a while, wrote a letter bit by bit, called a confidant warrior and ordered: "You must hand over this letter to the person on the largest ship of the Datang Fleet. If you have any response, you will immediately respond."

The confidant warrior took the order and left, Su-I-Yeyi found a map of the coastal areas of Japan. Compared with Li Mu's map, the proportions are mostly wrong. However, every place name in every place can be displayed on this map.

He picked up the pen, drew a line on the picture, and drew a mark at the end of the line.
