When it comes to Japan, there is no need for Mao Geng to speak, Long Jiu will say it. After a while, Xin Qiji and Lu Jiuyuan will understand the current situation.

From the map, Japan's island country is just a little big, it's nothing, it's not a whole, it's not a whole, it's composed of three islands across the sea, the largest island is Honshu Island, followed by Kyushu Island, and the smallest is Shikoku Island. Yes, it was the Japanese island at this time rather than the "Japan Four Islands". In real history, the Japanese in this era had no idea of ​​fighting Hokkaido at all, so the Xiayi Island had no relationship with the Japanese. The Song Dynasty had Xiayi Island, and the Japanese could not even give a single fart.

Sadly, the three islands of Japan are now being cheated by a group of so-called "pirates". Any decent ships are either robbed or burned. Without ships, even normal exchanges between the three islands have become a problem. Faced with this situation where they are so bad that they cannot be more rotten, they have no idea what to do. Fight, but they can't catch them, and the ships can't hide them. The ships of an island country are not small, but they can't stand the consumption of a batch today and another batch tomorrow. In the end, there are really few decent ships. Fortunately, the pirates were finally a little afraid and did not go deep into the inland river to kill them. Some ships that drove into the inland river survived, but so what! They can't get out of the sea. They had no choice but to ask for help from the Song Dynasty. It is said that they still asked for help from the Jin Dynasty, but it is obvious that only the Song Dynasty can help the Japanese to clean up the situation.

This is the situation. Now the Japanese are looking for the Song Dynasty. The price can be opened a little higher, and the Japanese have no bargaining card at all. Given that the Japanese islands are located on the way between the Song Dynasty and the Xiayi Island, some key points are to be controlled by their own Song Dynasty, such as Tsushima Island and Sado Island. As for the others, you can do it at camera. In addition, you have to pay some money to borrow soldiers. The price of 20 million taels of silver is not high! After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing government compensated 230 million taels of silver and allowed Taiwan Island, so the price of 20 million taels of silver is not high at all.

Long Jiu felt that 20 million taels of silver was not high. Although Mao Geng thought it was high, he wanted this method of slaughtering for the Japanese. So when Long Jiu reported this number, Mao Geng nodded slightly.

Xin Qiji had no objection to this. As mentioned earlier, General Xin was a bit gangster. He robbed the Japanese bastards and made the Song Dynasty rich and strong soldiers. Xin Qiji felt that this was a very pleasant thing. But Lu Jiuyuan was different. Lu Jiuyuan, who was kind-hearted, was a little unbearable. He felt that this knife was a bit too fierce and was not conducive to the promotion of the universal value of benevolence and righteousness in the world.

In the end, Xin Qiji came up with an idea, which was a bit like "being polite first and then soldiers". When Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he felt that he was still taking advantage of the situation, but his resistance was not so strong. Anyway, Lu Jiuyuan would not participate in this matter anymore, so he would not talk much.

In early February, Xin Qiji personally led a large Song fleet composed of four large ships and four speedboats to visit Kamakura. Those who were traveling with Jiang Bohu, Long Jiu, Liu Guo and Su Shidan were.

Xin Qiji was a vassal official of the Song Dynasty and a famous poet in the world. He was a god-level figure in this era. Yuan Lai Chao did not expect that a master like Xin Qiji could visit Japan, and immediately put forward the highest reception specifications and received Xin Qiji and his party in an almost pious manner.

It's not good to be ungodly! The ships that others drove were just a ship with iron. The ship was not big, only 300 tons, but it looked scary, not to mention that there were 1,000 tons, 800 tons and 600 tons of warships, as well as the thunderbolt speedboats that were terrifyingly littorals. There were four ships of lightning strikes. This fleet could kill the warships that Japan had before, and the pirates were no match for it. The Yuan of Lai Chao, who worshiped the strong, had only female Fu. In addition to his worship of force, there was another fact that no Jinshi-level figure from the Song Dynasty had ever visited Japan, let alone a god-level figure like Xin Qiji who was both civil and military. In this era,

A monk from the Song Dynasty was respected by Japan to heaven. Therefore, the Kamakura Shogunate Gang, including the Genna Rai, was completely a fan-chasing star-chasing fan style, and he almost crawled at the feet of the great god Xin Qiji. Moreover, there was another great man in the Song Dynasty delegation, namely Jiang Bohu. Jiang Bohu was the first to take the martial arts exam, and was the top scholar in the martial arts exam in the eighth year of Chunxi. However, this guy valued literature and over military affairs in his bones, and wanted to be a civil servant. As a result, in the eleventh year of Chunxi, Jiang Bohu passed the literary and Jinshi again. The word "both civil and military affairs" was tailor-made for him. Even if Xin Qiji did not come, Jiang Bohu would be enough to make the Japanese people worship him.

Xin Qiji was very polite when facing Yuan Lai Chao, who was full of admiration. He said in a righteous tone that Yelu and other guys also robbed the Song Dynasty. Some advanced warships from the Song Dynasty also fell into the hands of this beast, and they belonged to the pirates that the Song Dynasty issued the list to capture. Moreover, he also attempted to occupy Japan and restore Liao. After research, the Song Dynasty court decided to help Japan wipe out this beast.

When Yuan Lai Chao heard this, he said that it was good. The Celestial Dynasty was indeed a benevolent country. When the pirates were quelled, Japan should pay tribute.

Xin Qiji sneered in his heart, saying that you Japanese people are calling for tribute. The Song Dynasty received tribute and still had to reward them. As a result, the rewards from the Song Dynasty were more valuable than the tributes. What's the sincerity? I was not even proud of asking for help from others to do things. Hehe, let's see how Long Jiu played you to death!

Of course, it is a bit difficult to get the source of Lai Chao. 20 million silver and cede islands, the source of Lai Chao is not as generous as this. The source of Lai Chao even felt a little lucky. Didn’t the Heavenly Dynasty say good-for-righteousness to the future? I thought we might be able to take advantage of it. If a magistrate of the Song Dynasty like Xin Qiji visited Japan, maybe he would be happy and it would be possible to allocate some funds and aid Japan.

But then Yuan Lai Chao realized that this Lord Xin was difficult to deal with. Xin Qiji said that he had to go to Kyoto to meet the Emperor on behalf of the Song Dynasty. Although Yuan Lai Chao was the de facto ruler, the diplomatic ceremony was not abolished, and the Emperor still had to meet. The emperor was nominally the emperor was indeed the ruler of Japan. Xin Qiji wanted to deal with the Emperor, but Yuan Lai Chao could not stop him.

In fact, when I went to Kamakura, I had a little more meaning in showing off the warship demonstration, which was specially demonstrated to Gen Lai Chao.

He came to Kyoto one day. In this era, the Emperor was in Kyoto and not Tokyo. The high-standard envoys of Xin Qiji came to Kyoto, which made Emperor Houbaikawa and Emperor Houbaijo both flattered. Xin Qiji's statement was also very touching. It is worthy of being a kind and righteous dynasty. He could kill all the hateful pirates of Hou Liao in two days. Emperor Houbaikawa was very satisfied with this. It should be said that because he ate the Kuizhongguai and cod liver oil of the Mao family, Emperor Houbaijo could still withstand it at this moment. It would not be as melancholy as in history. What is exciting is that from Xin Qiji's words, he vaguely felt that the Song Dynasty might support him and his son Emperor Houbaijo. After all, he was orthodox. It should be noted that the Song Dynasty was orthodox.

The visit was very successful. Xin Qiji fooled him and left, leaving Jiang Bohu, Long Jiu and Su Shidan, claiming that they were liaison officers and were specifically responsible for contacting the people of the Song Dynasty Navy to eliminate pirates, and so on.

As soon as Xin Qiji left, the Song Dynasty fleet began to symbolically wander around the coast of Japan, and then claimed that he had not seen any pirates and that there were no pirates to suppress.

But in less than two days, another report of pirates committing crimes came, so the emperor asked Jiang Bohu and his party to consult.

In this industry, Jiang Bohu is nominally the protagonist, but in fact, Long Jiu is the main character.

Long Jiu said that in fact, Yelu's group of pirates not only robbed Japan, but recently turned their target to the Jin Kingdom and robbed many ships of the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, the Navy of the Song Dynasty was not very enthusiastic about destroying this group of pirates. Let me tell you that these navy leaders are most willing to keep these pirates to harm the Jin people. Maybe even the Ministry of War of the court has such an ambiguous attitude. As for the possibility of harming you Japan, we can't help this matter for the time being.

Long Jiu was going to quarrel slowly. Indeed, the pirates also robbed some Jin people's ships during this period. Because there were no big ships in Japan, it seemed that the benefits were even higher when they robbed a batch of big ships and sold them to Taiwan Song Haimao. However, there was no risk for the Japanese to grab them. Anyway, the pirate ships and the Song Dynasty warships had a tacit understanding. Since the Song Dynasty warships arrived, it has been better for a few days. Then everything was still the same, and there was even a tendency to get worse. Going ashore to rob and catch people was even more ruthless than before.

Two days later, the warships of the Song Dynasty were ordered to go to the East China Sea. It was reported that the pirates were robbing the Song Dynasty again. When the Japanese government and the people saw that they finally invited the Bodhisattva, and they were leaving again. What should we do?
