Chapter 1448: Prince


Tamna.

More than a decade ago, it was just a small island under the constraints of Baekje.

A group of barbarians on the island live a very primitive life.

Later, the Zhang family obtained this island from the Tang Emperor as a fief.

The suzerains of the barbarians on the island didn't dare to say a single, and honestly handed over the suzerainty of the island to the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has always liked to convince people with virtue.

On the one hand, the Zhang family took over the suzerainty of the island, and on the other hand, they negotiated several big orders with Baekje at that time.

These foreign trade orders made the royal family and nobles of Baekje a lot of money, so that even the unhappiness of being forced to cede Tamna Island was completely forgotten.

The king of Baekje even sent someone to inquire about the Zhang family after that.

They say that they have many islands without the sea, and although they are not as big as Tamnado, they are close to Baekje.

The Zhang family excused themselves a few times, but they couldn't refuse, so they spent some money, added a few trade orders, and reluctantly accepted the few islands that Baekje gave away.

From beginning to end, whether it was the Tang Dynasty, Baekje or the Bashang Zhang family, no one asked the opinions of the natives on Tamna Island.

Their king was not treated as a green onion.

The Zhang family then sent a fleet to land on the island, declaring that Tamna Island would henceforth be owned by the Zhang family.

The barbarians on the island have since become the leaders of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family gave the barbarians on the island a piece of land in the inland for them to continue to live.

Then the development of Tamna Island began.

They first built a port wharf, repaired a castle, and then built warehouses and shops here, making it a trading entrepot for the Zhangjia merchant fleet to the three countries in the East China Sea.

Many of the commercial goods destined for the three countries docked here and then transferred to the three countries in batches.

Commodities recovered from the Three Kingdoms are often transferred here before being transported back to the Central Plains.

The slave trade with the three countries of the East China Sea flourished.

Tamna Island became a huge slave transit station, and many slave camps were built.

At the same time, among the commodities sold by the Zhang family to the three countries, cattle, horses and livestock are also a bulk commodity.

Whether it is Silla, Baekje, or Wa Kingdom, there is a great demand for high-quality war horses, and there is also a great demand for ploughing oxen and horses.

The Zhang family crossed the sea with cattle and horses from Lushun or Dengzhou, and regarded Tamna as a large transshipment port.

Tamna has even become a huge pasture because of the transfer of livestock, and the island is full of cattle and horses.

Because of this transshipment trade, Tamna Island also became a very prosperous island, with a prosperous commercial port, the island was full of slaves, cattle and horses, and even opened up a lot of arable land and planted a lot of grain.

Along the sea of the island, there are also fishing boats, whaling boats, fishing boats are everywhere, and Tamna Island is also regarded as an excellent home port.

Later, the Zhang family even opened a branch factory directly on Tamna Island to process many handmade goods, and then sold them to the Three Kingdoms to reduce costs and make more profits.

It is under this model that Tamna Island has gradually turned from a very desolate overseas island into a very prosperous commercial entrepot trading port, and even a very prosperous handicraft processing base, as well as a fishery and grain production area.

It has become a land of fishing and rice, and a large commercial port.

Even merchants such as the Japanese kingdom of Baekje Silla have been coming to trade in recent years.

The slave market on the island even monopolized the slave trade with the three countries.

Slaves were exchanged for cattle and horses, silk, silver and copper for iron, pots, iron, and farm tools, etc., which were even more prosperous.

At the end of last year.

The imperial court began to evacuate the Chinese from the three countries, and most of the evacuated Chinese merchants did not return to China immediately, but withdrew to Tamna Island.

And Tamna Port has not stopped, and has even become more and more prosperous.

Because the original trading ports of the three countries have now become extremely depressed due to the withdrawal of Chinese merchants, Chinese ships can only rely on trade in the past.

The Chinese ships did not trade, but they were not forbidden to trade in Tamna, so the trade of the ports of the three countries was almost all transferred to Tamna at once.

Tamna Port suddenly became several times more prosperous.

Jang Jing arrived in Tamna Port a year later and came from Pyongyang.

Previously, he had been in Pyongyang, making a comprehensive deployment for the three countries, meeting with the generals and colonels of the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Eastern Expedition, communicating with them about the offensive plan, and even various logistics supplies.

When everything was ready, Zhang Jing left Pyongyang and sailed to Tamna Island.

Tamna was close to Baekje and close to Silla and Wa Kingdom, and it was also more conducive to command that Jang Jing set up his base camp for his Eastern Crusade.

In particular, even in winter, there are no problems such as the port being frozen.

"Tamna Port is indeed beautiful, the sea here is as pure as Ryuqiu, and the sky is as blue as Luzon."

Xue Rengui said with a smile, "Tamna is still unexpectedly prosperous, who would have thought that such a small island would now have a population of no less than 200,000, I can't believe it." ” "Connecting the commerce and trade of the three countries in the East China Sea, how can this port not be rich and prosperous" Zhang Jing stayed in Liuqiu for two years, and his understanding of industry and commerce is still very deep.

No business, no life.

In the final analysis, Tamna's current prosperity is inseparable from the investment of the Zhang family, and it is inseparable from the close proximity to the three countries of the East China Sea and the occupation of important routes.

Entrepot trade, let this place be reborn.

"This place is too beautiful, and when I conquer the Three Kingdoms, I must buy a piece of land here, and then build a comfortable manor, and come here to bask in the sun, fish and swim when I have time, it will be very comfortable."

"You can now."

Zhang Jing said with a smile, he also has a lot of property on this island, and there is no problem in sending a manor to Xue Rengui, the senior brother.

Xue Rengui waved his hand.

"If you don't have merit, you won't dare to accept it."

Li Jing is the prince, and he is a minister.

But he is not a courtier of the East Palace, so as Zhang Chao's protégé, although he is familiar with Zhang Jing, he does not dare to openly accept gifts from the prince at this time.

A villa manor is not worth much, and he Xue Rengui is now a dignified prince, so there is no need to be greedy.

If someone is impeached and says that he befriended the prince or something, then he really has a mouth and can't say clearly.

Zhang Jing laughed at Xue Rengui, he was smart enough to understand what Xue Rengui was refusing and did not force it.

As his father said to him, don't be anxious, don't worry, go through the training, and when he is ready, he will naturally pass on the throne to him in the future.

Zhang Jing didn't think about how to make friends with important ministers and gather forces now.

He was still young, not at that time.

He now has his own group of companion knights, and he has his own East Palace vassals, so he just needs to run his own small team.

"Your Highness, all the soldiers and horses are ready.

Now that the weather is warmer and spring is back, should we start attacking?"

"How did the Chinese businessmen withdraw?"

"Basically, they have all withdrawn, and there are still a very few who have not left, and they are also some who have intermarried with the Yi people and have families over there."

"What is the attitude of the Three Kingdoms now, do they still have to resist stubbornly to the end?"

"These people, like Yelang is arrogant, they have always been frogs at the bottom of the well, and when they see the sky, they think that it is only the size of the mouth of the well.

Although they also know the strength of my Dahua, they still have some luck in their hearts, thinking that the three families together can resist my Dahua, and even fantasize about seizing the hometown of Goguryeo. ” "It's a frog at the bottom of a well."

Zhang Jing sneered.

"If everything is ready, then let's attack according to our predetermined plan."

The sea breeze was still very cold, and Zhang Jing stood there in a leather robe, coldly giving the order to attack.

The second year of the revival of the Dahua Empire, spring.

The Korean War begins.

In the southwest of the peninsula, Baekje City, the capital of Baekje Kingdom.

Palace.

The thirtieth king of Baekje, the king of Baekje, Fuyuzhang, was lying on the sickbed and listening to the generals' reports.

"Prince Dahua and the Marshal of the Eastern Expedition have moved to Tamna Island."

"Dawang, Dahua is serious this time, 100,000 soldiers and horses, advancing by land and water, we are the first target."

"King, we can't beat Dahua."

The king of Baekje was pale and his eyes were cloudy.

"How long can we hold out" "Your Majesty, once the Chinese army launches an attack, it will directly attack our Baekje City from the sea, and we will not be able to resist at all."

"How long can it last?"

Fu Yuzhang still asked.

"Three months."

A general said.

Someone next to him immediately said, "I can't hold on for a month." ” "If you find a way to hold out for three months, Silla and the Wa Kingdom will come to help, and we will definitely be able to repel the Chinese army."

Baekje King Road.

Although the king of Baekje was still hanging with only one breath left, as long as there was one breath left, no one could change his decision.

The congregation will exit the palace.

One will sigh in front of the palace gate.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for three months and three days."

A group of Baekje generals were silent.

Many generals had joined the war in the Tang Dynasty's battle to destroy Goguryeo and fought side by side with the Tang army.

They had seen the strength of the Tang Navy with their own eyes, and they knew the fierceness of their siege firearms.

The fortified cities of Goguryeo were also powerless in front of the Tang army.

Although Baekje Fortress is the capital of Baekje Kingdom, it also has a major weakness, that is, it is too close to the sea.

This allowed the Chinese army, which had fully inherited the Tang Dynasty, to come directly by the wind and waves, and there was no obstacle between Huaguo and Baekje City.

Buyeo Chang was still fantasizing about the arrival of the armies of Silla and the Wa Kingdom, but the generals knew that they would not be able to catch up.

"Whew" The trumpet sounded.

Alarm bells rang for a long time.

The generals stood on the stone steps of the palace and looked up in shock.

Looking into the distance, outside the harbor in the distance, the white sails are dotted.

"Chinese Army" "The Chinese Navy is coming" One warship after another suddenly appeared from under the blue sky and white clouds, jumping above the blue sea.

Hundreds of warships, many of them huge sail warships with four masts and five masts.

Some generals hurriedly took out their clairvoyant mirrors to watch.

"Gunboat" someone exclaimed.

"At least twenty gunboats" With these exclamations, the generals fell into an ice cave.

Hundreds of warships, and at least twenty gunboats, such a powerful force, Baekje Fortress is estimated to not be able to hold even a day t1706231537:
