Chapter 139: Foreign Legion (1) After saying goodbye to Yu Chi Baoqing, Qin Huaiyu left the smelter, not even bringing the army, but came directly from the smelter to the dock alone, at this time there was already a small boat moored and waiting on the edge of the dock - this ship was very small, and it could barely fight two people, and even the power was not a sail, or even an oar, but a more backward penny.
Seeing the boat, Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything, jumped on the boat and sat cross-legged, and the boatman didn't mean to speak, but after he sat down, he lifted the anchor and left the dock with the penny.
The boat is too small to enter the deep sea, so it can only walk along the shore, otherwise a wave will come down, and it may be overturned, but the boat has the advantage of a small boat, because the boat can reach some remote corners that the big ship cannot reach, and avoid the sight of those who care.
After driving on the sea for half a day, the boat came to a remote bay, which was full of rocks and reefs, and all the exposed reefs were like knives, not to mention large warships, even some small fishing boats could not drive in, and only the small sampan that Qin Huaiyu was riding could enter and exit freely.
Entering the reef bay and docking the boat, this is a seaside mountain, the cliff is full of rocks, at first glance it is a treacherous place.
Qin Huaiyu re-ashore, moved along the foot of the mountain for hundreds of meters, turned a corner, and suddenly a light appeared in front of him, and a small valley appeared in front of him.
"Who's coming?"
Before Qin Huaiyu could enter, he heard a loud shout, and several heavily armed warriors jumped out from behind the stones next to the valley, these people's weapons and equipment are very strange, greatly different from the Tang Dynasty standard equipment, especially their weapons, which are somewhat similar to Tang knives, but with arcs, which are the Japanese knives that were touted as one of the world's three famous knives in later generations.
And most of their armor is also gorgeously decorated, colorful and green, and the armor is also open teeth and claws, with sharp edges and corners, like crabs, and the shape is quite middle two, very much in the style of the Wa Kingdom, but if you look closely, you can see that their armor is actually made of bamboo, but it is painted with different colors, which looks gorgeous, and in fact it is useless for heavy weapons, even a bow and arrow can easily break through the defense - this is exactly the equipment that appeared in the Edo period of the later Wa Kingdom, and it is sufficient, However, Li Zhen took it out in advance, for this time, although it was enough to resist the powerful.
"I want to see your general."
Qin Huaiyu did not say his origin, but took out a round token from his arms.
"It turned out to be the envoy, and my subordinates have met the envoy."
As soon as the soldiers saw the token, they immediately knelt down, and called the envoy directly, and a faint hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
"No need to be polite, take me to your general."
Qin Huaiyu didn't know much about these people, he just received an order from Li Zhen to let him come here, and then make the next move.
"Yes, please ask the envoy to come with me."
One person led Qin Huaiyu forward, while the other soldiers took a step forward to report the news.
Along the way, Qin Huaiyu has opened his eyes, his speed is not fast, he can appreciate the surrounding environment, this valley is roughly circular, except for a house built near the bottom of the mountain, the rest of the places have been reclaimed into farmland, looking at the square fields, and the crops in the fields, Qin Huaiyu actually had an illusion that this was in the Tang Dynasty for a while.
"The general of the Third Army of the Foreign Legion, Kyora Honda, has met Lord Governor, and the banquet has already been prepared, please come down with your subordinates."
Before Qin Huaiyu walked halfway, when a middle-aged man with a comb on the head of the Yue Dynasty greeted him - the head of the Yue Dynasty is the hairstyle of the ancient Wa Kingdom, that is, the middle part of the hair is shaved off, leaving only the hair on both sides (in the ancient film and television dramas of the Wa Kingdom, such a hairstyle is very common), although it looks ugly, but it is actually a quite practical hairstyle, because in the war fight, the hair is often scattered for various reasons, and then the hair in the middle and front of the head will cover the face, block the view, and affect the battle, It was very bad for fighting, so later this hairstyle was developed and gradually developed.
"Are you a Wako?"
As soon as Qin Huaiyu heard the name of Honda Gongliang, his brows immediately furrowed, although the Tang Dynasty did not start a war with the Wa State now, but because of the Iwami Silver Mine, the Bohai Naval Region and the Wa State have not fought a lot in recent years, so Qin Huaiyu inevitably has a bad feeling towards the Wa State.
What's more, even if there is no Iwami Silver Mine, Li Zhen's feeling for the Wa Kingdom is also well known, as Li Zhen's henchman, Qin Huaiyu will inevitably be affected by some influences.
"No, don't get me wrong, I'm not a Japanese national, I'm a Tang person, a Tang Dynasty person, and my ancestors have lived in the Tang Dynasty for generations."
Honda Gongliang hurriedly waved his hand, this is his top boss for a period of time in the future, but he can't let him misunderstand himself, and quickly explained: "The subordinate was originally a Tang person, his name is Ma Rufei, but he has been in the Wa Kingdom all these years, although he has been here most of the time, but sometimes he will inevitably go out once or twice to deal with affairs......
As you know, the Governor of the Kingdom of Japan does not have a good impression of my Datang......
Therefore, in order to facilitate the operation and avoid unnecessary trouble, his subordinates also gave themselves the name of a Japanese and put on the clothes of a Japanese people. ” "I see."
Qin Huaiyu nodded clearly, this explanation is reasonable, he has seen too many situations in this situation, not to mention that what he is doing is an agent's business, even if he is doing business in the Wa Kingdom as a businessman, it is reasonable to do so - at least in Datang, there are many foreigners who will give themselves a Chinese name, which is more convenient for them to integrate into Datang.
"What about them?"
Looking at the people behind Gongliang Honda, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but ask one more question: "Are they all Tang people too?"
” "They aren't."
Seeing this, Honda Kyora shook his head and said: "These people are all Japanese people, and they were ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let his subordinates collect orphans in the Japanese country according to the model of the young army, and they are all Japanese people......
In fact, except for his subordinates and some instructors, almost all of the people here are Wakoku, and even if they are not Wakoku, they are all teenagers from Ezo Island in the north, and they are the same as Wakoku in terms of race......
At least it looks pretty much the same, and it doesn't have much impact on the operation. ”
