"Who asked him to come back, why don't I know?""
Your Majesty, he sneaked back alone, with the credentials of the lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and he wants to meet His Majesty......"
Sun Yue said immediately.After hearing this, Tie Xi frowned, didn't Xue Huaili go to Liao, why did he come back from Ryukyu?
Tie Xi glanced at the Sun family bowl: "Take him in." ”"Yes, Your Majesty."
Sun Jiawan immediately went out of the hall to find Xue Huaili.After Sun Jiawan left, Sun Yue opened his mouth."
Your Majesty, the minister asked Xue Huaili before, it was the Japanese people who were in rebellion, the Ryukyu country is small and the people are few, not the opponent, so I thought of asking my Great Song for help, Your Majesty, Ryukyu is not Goryeo and Dayue, and my Great Song Dynasty is separated by a sea, and the people are few and the land is poor......"
Sun Yue was halfway through his words and was interrupted by Tie Xi."
Lord Sun, do you think that you shouldn't save it......"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister really thinks so, our Great Song can be saved once, but we can't save it ten times, a hundred times, please consider it more."
After hearing this, Tie Xi nodded and didn't say anything.Sun Yue is right, but the premise is that Da Song has no idea about the sea.He sighed: "I know, Lord Sun will go and get busy first, I will consider it?"
”"Yes, it's Your Majesty, and the minister will step down......"
Tie Xi nodded.Sun Yue was a little apprehensive in his heart, he felt that he might have said the wrong thing, otherwise Tie Xi would not be in such a hurry to drive him away.Sun Yue kept thinking in his mind that he had accidentally angered the emperor, and he was uneasy, so even if Sun Jiawan walked towards him with Xue Huaili, he didn't see it."
Master Sun......"
Sun Jiawan saw Sun Yue and shouted several times before waking up Sun Yue, who had lost his mind."
Grandpa Sun......"
"Master Sun, why are you leaving in such a hurry......"
"There are still important things in the house, you can't delay more, Your Majesty is also waiting, don't delay, go quickly......"
Sun Yue said and turned to leave regardless of the surprised eyes of the two people.The bottom of my heart was gloomy.Sun Jiawan led Xue Huaili to the outside of the palace and asked Xue Huaili to wait outside for a while.Xue Huaili stood in place, somewhat apprehensive in his heart, just now he saw the haze on Sun Yue's face, obviously reprimanded.Why did Your Majesty reprimand Sun Yue?
Most likely, it's because of your own business.After a while, Sun Jiawan walked out of the Qianqing Palace."
Lord Xue, Your Majesty summons ......"
After Xue Huaili heard this, he bowed to the Sun family bowl, and then followed the Sun family bowl into the main hall.As soon as Xue Huaili came in, he knelt down: "The guilty minister Xue Huaili knocked to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live ...... long live" Tie Xi looked at him kneeling but was impressed......
"Why do you call yourself a criminal minister, you are the first minister to die since I ascended the throne, and you will be a person who will be famous in history in the future, what is the ...... of the crime" "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty......"
Tie Xi looked at Xue Huaili, and finally did not dwell on this matter."
Then why did you return without a call......
"Your Majesty, the Liao country has changed, all the envoys were killed, after the minister escaped by luck, he was rescued by the people of the Ryukyus, the minister wanted to recover from his injuries and then return to the Great Song Dynasty, I don't want to catch up with the Ryukyu country to be attacked by the Japanese people, and it has become an adult's purgatory, and the Japanese people have imposed a blockade on the whole island of Ryukyu, and it is difficult to deliver the letter of salvation to the Great Song Dynasty......
I beg Your Majesty to send the king to save the people of Ryukyu and kill the Japanese people, so as to shake the small ...... of the night" Xue Huaili said, holding the national letter on the Ryukyu with both hands and holding it high.Tie Xi glanced at Sun Jiawan, Sun Jiawan instructed, and walked to Xue Huaili, who was still kneeling, took off the national letter, and then came back and respectfully placed the national letter in front of Tie Xi.Tie Xi flipped it open and took a look, exactly the same as what Xue Huaili said.After reading the national letter, Tie Xi glanced at Xue Huaili, who was still kneeling, and sighed for a while."
Xue Huaili, get up......"
"Your Majesty Xie............"
After finishing speaking, Xue Huaili stood up slowly.After Xue Huaili got up, Tie Xi opened his mouth to ask: "The Japanese people besieged the country, how did you come back......"
"Your Majesty, the minister first went to the Japanese country, and obtained the warrant from the general of the Japanese country by virtue of his status as an official of the Heavenly Empire, and then turned back to the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty, the Japanese people have plagued the coast of my Great Song Dynasty, please send your majesty to send a naval general to sweep away the Japanese people, and by the way, to relieve the worries of the subject country......"
After listening to Xue Huaili's words, Tie Xi did not answer, but asked: "Since you have gone to the Japanese country, tell me everything you see and know, So that I can understand the situation of the Wa Kingdom. ”Although Xue Huaili went to Kyushu Island, he didn't know much about Kyushu, and he was not even as good as Hao Yunjie, the general of the water division, but now that the emperor asked, Xue Huaili could only tell everything he knew.On the one hand, the Japanese went to sea to plunder, on the one hand, for their livelihood, and on the other hand, they were also acquiesced in, or even supported, by the generals in various parts of the island, and most of the property they looted also went into the pockets of these generals.Moreover, the general Xue Huaili saw also introduced him to the strength under his command, hundreds of warships, 100,000 sergeants, and the soldiers of various minor generals attached to him, he alone could drag out at least 150,000 troops.After listening to Xue Huaili's words, Tie Xi almost laughed out loud.150,000, you can really blow it.Tie Xi doesn't believe a word, just the little land on Wajima, you say that there are 200,000 troops in the entire Wajima, Thaksei, but there are 150,000 people under a general, isn't this nonsense?
However, this can't be blamed on Xue Huaili, after all, he doesn't understand military affairs, and after he goes, he will be on other people's territory, but isn't what people say, how can he believe it?"
Fart......"
Hearing Tie Xi scolding, Xue Huaili thought he was scolding himself again, and hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister doesn't dare to have half a lie, what he said is all what the criminal has heard with his own ears......
Tie Xi waved his hand: "Get up, I don't scold you again, I am the Japanese general who saw you again......"
Xue Huaili breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up."
Since you came back at the risk of your life, do you want me to agree to send troops......"
"Your Majesty, Ryukyu has been a vassal state of the Central Dynasty since ancient times, and for so many years, there has never been an objection, and envoys have been sent to the Great Song Dynasty every year to express their awe, and now they are in trouble, if the suzerainty does not care, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to have a reputation at all......"
Tie Xi glanced at Xue Huaili lightly, after such a long time, this person has changed, but it has not changed much, and there are still those extremely old-fashioned things in his mind.Tie Xi said lightly: "Ryukyu is a subject country, and my Great Song should help, but the two countries are separated by the sea, and the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is afraid that it is not easy to send it over, and it is not easy for me to decide this matter alone, and it needs to be discussed at the court meeting again." ”"Your Majesty, when Ryukyu came, he told his ministers that he was willing to support the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty with the strength of the whole country, and dedicate all the land suitable for the construction of a port to the Great Song Dynasty......"
Hearing this, Tie Xi's expression finally changed a little, which was also what he wanted.Tie Xi didn't think that his attack on Kyushu Island would trigger a full-scale war with Wajima, and Wajima was torn apart, and as long as the army of the Great Song Dynasty did not officially land on land, they might applaud when they saw something happening in Kyushu.Of course, even if there is a war with the entire Wajima, Tetsuki is not afraid.Although the Great Song Dynasty was not prepared, was Wadao prepared?
In the end, it is not about who is strong and who can have the last laugh.in the palace.Tie Xi stood in front of a pair of charts.Ryukyu, he wants, and whether to save the people of Ryukyu or not, it is simply that the Great Song Dynasty needs this place, as long as this land nominally belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, and then with the rise of shipping, the people-to-people exchanges between the two places will become more and more frequent, and in the end, the Ryukyuan people will soon become all Song people, and this process will not take many years.Tie Xi has great ambitions, he wants to complete a huge empire that has never existed, and this goal is still left to him by his father Tie Xinyuan.Wang Zhizhong, Ma Baoyi, Liu Bin, Han Zhou, as well as Hao Yunjie and Zhu Qiming, who have not yet left Chengdu Mansion, are all on the way to come again.Before the change, when Tie Xi wanted to fight, he usually needed some people to speak for him, but by this time, it was enough to do it.The power of today's court has long been in his hands.After Wang Zhizhong, Ma Baoyi, Han Zhou and others entered the Qianqing Palace, they were the first to see the sea chart placed in the main hall, and everyone was guessing Tie Xi's thoughts.For Xue Huaili on the side, they were not impressed."
Ministers knock to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live...... "........................
Since Jiang Chao and Zhu Qiming returned, the imperial court has spared no effort to support the Ministry of Maritime Affairs.Shipbuilding divisions were constantly being built in various places, and there were more and more warships and skilled workers who could go to sea, and by now, there were hundreds of thousands of workers of all kinds serving sailors and shipbuilders.The Navy Division has more than 300 large and small ships, and more than 60,000 officers and men.Therefore, when Tiexi proposed to send troops to save the Ryukyu Kingdom, no one except Ma Baoyi objected.Ma Baoyi's reason for opposing it is very simple.Although the sailor seems to be strong, but has not experienced actual combat, the actual combat strength is still unknown, so in such a hurry to start a war with the Japanese people, resulting in losses, the imperial court's control of the sea will become weaker, if you accidentally eat a defeat, it will bring endless disasters to the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the coastal areas of Goryeo.Ma Baoyi's words were like pointing at Zhu Qiming's nose and scolding, his face instantly darkened, and he retorted, the Great Song Sailor has spent so much money and trained for so long, what does it mean to have no combat effectiveness?
Not to mention naval battles, even if it is a land battle, it is not afraid of the other armies of the Great Song Dynasty.With everyone's approval, Ma Baoyi could only retreat and remain silent.Wang Zhizhong has never expressed any objections, he is now being pinched by Tie Xi, and he will not object to what Tie Xi says or wants to do.Han Xuan's idea is simpler, what does it mean to have no experience, of course there is no experience if you don't fight, and if you don't have experience if you fight, you won't have experience.
