Chapter 289 That Jin!

Su Moer said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty's postman has arrived and informed Your Majesty that it is Youth Majesty who is going to Yizhou to escape the summer heat. It is said that Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang and many other concubines will also come together, and there are some princes and princesses, let Your Majesty prepare in advance."

"What! So many people are coming!" Li Yan's head suddenly became big. He knew that Li Shimin liked to go out for summer vacation every summer, but he didn't expect to choose Yizhou this year. However, this also shows that Li Shimin loved him, otherwise he would not have given up the place where he used to escape the summer vacation and traveled to Yizhou all the time. There is another reason that probably was that Li Shimin was in a bad mood because of Li Chengqian's affairs. Thinking of relaxing here. After all, all kinds of fun things in Yizhou had spread in Chang'an under the deliberate publicity of Li Yuanchang. Li Shimin could not have known these things.

"That's true, but, Your Highness, when are you going to come back? Your Majesty will be able to arrive in Yizhou in about half a month. We have to prepare before that. There are so many people who can't stay in the palace before." Su Mo'er said worriedly.

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "If it really doesn't work, let them live in the royal palace. Anyway, there are so many houses in the royal palace, and no matter how many people there are, they will be enough. Give the largest courtyard to the father and clean up the other small courtyards for the concubines and princesses. I still have some things, and I guess I will be able to return to Yizhou in about ten days."

Su Mo'er from the other end of Yizhou was relieved when she heard this. Li Yan could only come back before Li Shimin came, otherwise she and Cui Yingying really didn't know how to receive Li Shimin, and said, "Okay, I'll talk to the princess and clean up the palace."

Li Yan said again. Su Mo'er finished the call and looked at the radio station flashing in front of her. She felt very moved. This radio station is really the legendary voice transmission of thousands of miles. You can contact Li Yan, who is thousands of miles away in Yizhou. Li Yan can also grasp the situation in Yizhou at any time and issue various instructions.

After breaking the call, Li Yan returned to the military camp. Since this is the case, the blackmail operation must be carried out as soon as possible. It cannot be found in three days. Li Yan set the time to set off tomorrow. This way, three or four days is enough to solve the problem, and he can return to Yizhou in three or four days.

After explaining this matter, Li Yan went to find Li Ran. At this time, with the help of Li Ran, the radio station in the governor Jin Daqian's mansion had been successfully connected. They were receiving training when Li Yan arrived.

"Your Highness!" Li Ran said when he saw Li Yan coming.

Li Yan pulled him aside, told him about his preparations to go to Japan, and told him to wait for the Yizhou cargo ship to be responsible for commanding the transport of the machinery on the ship to Jin Daqian, and began to be responsible for providing them with operation training. When he was in Yizhou, Li Yan had loaded various machinery. It was estimated that it would be possible to arrive in a few days. It was precisely because of this that he planned to leave Li Ran on Ryukyu Island and would not allow him to participate in this matter.

After hearing Li Yan's words, Li Ran nodded to show that she understood.

The next day, the Yizhou Navy of Ryukyu gathered again. This time, in addition to the navy, the Marine Corps also went to many people, in order to put more pressure on Japan and let them honestly hand over the silver. Otherwise, Li Yan would have to attack the Japanese mainland and arrest the emperor.

"Your Highness, after a night of interrogation, we have found the best place to attack."

The army gathered. The chimneys of more than 30 warships were emitting darkness at the same time. Amid the sound of different whistles, the Yizhou Navy fleet slowly sailed away from the treasure ship port and advanced towards the blue sea.

"Did Su I, Emily, say any useful information?" Li Yan asked Sun Dongxu who spoke.

Su Dongxu said: "From his mouth, we learned that the Su family's navy was stationed in a place called Natsujin. The name of that port was Hakata. The Japanese sent Tang envoys to go out to sea from this place. And opposite the port is the Japanese stronghold in Baekje, and the location is very important.

"That Notsu?" Li Yan thought for a moment. Isn't this the modern Japanese Fukuoka? If so, then this port is indeed as Sun Dongxu said. Its location is very important. It can both restrain Japan and deal with Baekje, Silla and Goguryeo on the Korean Peninsula. "Then attack from this place!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Sun Dongxu called Wang Shijie over and let him into the cockpit to lead the way. The vast sea, if you are not familiar with the route, you will waste a lot of effort to find it. Moreover, Wang Shijie is also proficient in Japanese language, which may be useful at that time. Although many Japanese nobles know Chinese, some people from the lower classes still don't understand.

Moving towards Japan with all his strength, Sun Dongxu ordered the steamship to start its maximum speed, but even so, it took more than two days to go for more than a thousand kilometers.

"Your Highness, there is the jin in front of you, and the port opposite is Bodo." Wang Shijie said respectfully. He is now serving Li Yan wholeheartedly. The strength of the Yizhou fleet made him dare not have any more delusions.

Li Yan nodded. There were many sea boats of different sizes moored in the irregular arc-shaped harbor in front of him. Japanese people traveling on the pier were endless. There were soldiers wearing armor patrolling back and forth on the pier. On the inside of the pier, there were large areas of residents and buildings, which were somewhat similar to those of the Tang Dynasty.

Near the fleet, the ships passing by were all Japanese in kimono floating by on the sea with triangular hats and kimono. They stood on the ship and looked at the huge fleet with surprise, especially the ten huge treasure ships. Many of them were pointing at the fleet and making a move, saying words that Li Yan couldn't understand.

"List the battle formation!" Stopped five hundred meters away from the port, Sun Dongxu ordered the fleet to aim the muzzle at the military buildings in the port, and then he walked over and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready."

Li Yan stood at the bow of the boat and observed the situation of the port. The prosperity of Bodo Port exceeded his appearance and even surpassed Jiangling Wharf. However, it is natural that Bodo Port belongs to a harbor. Hearing Sun Dongxu's words, Li Yan turned sideways to Wang Shijie and said, "Are you sure this is the fiefdom of the Su family?"

Wang Shijie patted his chest and promised, "Your Highness, you can't be wrong. This is indeed the fief of the Su family."

Li Yan nodded, "Bring Su-I-Yei to come up with him and ask him to write a letter to his family, and ask him to find a Japanese person to send it to his family."

"Yes!" Sun Dongxu responded. After a while, Su I, the Hokkien, was brought up from the cabin. When he looked at the familiar Port of Hakata, he smiled bitterly.

"Write it!" He took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Sun Dongxu said to Su I, Emily. Looking at the white paper in front of him, Emily Emily said: "Your Highness, you are really embarrassed by the Su I, our family. The Japanese country now uses copper coins brought from the Tang Dynasty, and gold and silver in China are not circulated at all. How could it be possible to get all five million taels together in a short while?"

"That's okay. I'll send you back whenever I get it. Didn't you say that there are many gold and silver mines under the name of Su's family? It doesn't matter if there is less silver. You can use gold instead. But ten taels of gold can only cost one tael of silver." Li Yan said that he was a little messy at this time. He really couldn't afford to hurt in this era when silver was more expensive than gold.

Su I, Eiji, was still a little hesitant, Li Yan looked at him and continued, "Su I, Eiji, this time may not be the lucky day for your Su I family. Don't think that I believe all the lies you said. Your father Su I, Ma Zi, has long been dead. Now you are the left minister of Japan. Your son Su I, also has power in the court. Now, Emperor Shu Ming's eldest son, is joining forces with nobles from all over the country to try to kill you Su I family. So you are so anxious to obtain my artillery. Am I right?"

"You...you...how is it possible!" Su I, Eiyi, said in surprise. How could he know so well about the Su I family? Even Wang Shijie didn't know this information.
