The commander who led troops to invade Japan was of course the good brothers of Zhao Kai and Zhao Huan. The commander of the Navy of the Song Dynasty (the Navy of the Song Dynasty divided the rivers and the second seas) was the left commander of the commander and the charges and fireworks. King Su Zhao Shu was the one who took the blame.

He and Zhao Buqiu, the left deputy commander of the Navy, took the fleet from Jinling to set out for an expedition at the beginning of the year.

However, they did not want to come to Japan at that time, but went to Goryeo.

But they didn't go to Haizhou either, because they expected that the Goryeo people would definitely defend Haizhou heavily, so they took their fleet to Jinzhou, Jinzhou, Weizhou and other places in the southern part of the Goryeo Kingdom to fight against the Jin Dynasty. Goryeo was a vassal state of the Jin Dynasty, and fighting against Goryeo is of course equivalent to fighting against the Jin Dynasty.

After resisting the Jin Dynasty for a round, I heard that Wanyan Zonggou, the 15th Prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, led 10,000 Jin soldiers to settle in Haizhou, Goryeo, so I had to give up the plan to go north to seize Haizhou as the anti-Jin stronghold.

But the anti-Jin cause still has to continue!

If you want to continue to resist the Jin Dynasty, are there no strongholds for resisting the Jin Dynasty?

So in order to resist the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Shu occupied Sizhou, Hedong County, and Nanhai County (Nanhai Island), which were under the jurisdiction of the Goryeo Jinzhou Governor.

Zhao Shu occupied so much territory, but he was not greedy for the land of Goryeo. What he wanted was actually a South China Sea island. The reason why he occupied Sizhou and Hedong County was that in addition to collecting some civilian and grain to operate the anti-Jin stronghold in the South China Sea island was to use these two places as bargaining chips for negotiations with Goryeo, and to negotiate a unilateral free trade in the Song Dynasty, and to ask for compensation.

However, Zhao Shu underestimated Goryeo Wang Wang Kai's determination to resist Song. If he had the courage to fight outside the capital, Wang Kai would of course surrender.

But Zhao Shu was not that bold. After all, there were 10,000 Jin soldiers in Haizhou! All of them were only fighting against the Jin Dynasty in Jinzhou, Jinzhou, Weizhou and other places, but this could not threaten Wang Kai's throne at all, so Wang Kai would certainly not care.

Zhao Shu took over the land in Jinzhou, Jinzhou, and Weizhou as soon as he wanted to take over, but Wang Kai had to sign any unequal treaty, let alone doors, and windows!

Wang Kai refused to sign the contract for compensation, and Zhao Shu, the invader, would lose money... This time he left Jinling with a total of 10,000 armored infantry, 10,000 naval officers and soldiers, fifty vehicles and ships (ten of which were strong and pot-like gunships), and eighty-five merchant ships.

Not to mention the expenses of the eighty-five merchant ships, but the various expenses of 20,000 new troops and fifty vehicles and ships during this period would have to be millions of chunks.

Invasion is very expensive!

As for the millions of yuan spent, I only took over a small South China Sea island (the army of Hedong County cannot be kept under the garrison of Sizhou and Hedong County). Is this a loss too much, right?

In order to make up for the loss a little, Zhao Shu had to send Zhao Buqiu to take ten vehicles and ships to occupy a slightly larger area of ​​Danluo Island.

However, after completing the task and returning to the South China Sea Island, Zhao Buqiu told Zhao Shu that the Danluo Island was so poor that it didn't even have a decent house on the island, and even the county magistrate lived in the hut... It would be impossible to receive a tax of one million yuan on Danluo Island for hundreds of years.

Moreover, in order to maintain the occupation of Danluo Island, the Song Dynasty court probably had to pay more money in it!

How can this be invaded? It is simply to help poverty alleviation!

In order to make up for the deficit, Zhao Shu aimed at Japan, which was across the sea from the Goryeo Peninsula.

Zhao Shu sent troops to Goryeo this time to attract many maritime merchants. Some of them have gone through Japan's business and know that Japan is much richer than Goryeo.

Japan has a lot of minerals, some gold, silver and copper, and Japan also produces sulfur, which is an important raw material for the production of gunpowder! The Japanese swords produced by Japan are also very popular among the scholars and officials of the Southern Song Dynasty... After these people destroyed the iron military industry of the Song Dynasty, they highly praised Japanese swords, Western Xia swords, and Qingtang armor.

In addition, Japan's military power is very weak now... It is not the Kamakura era a hundred decades later, but the end of the Heian era when the Wu family regime has not yet emerged.

Although the samurai class has long appeared in Japan, they have not yet undergone long-term "village war" training... Samurai who has not undergone actual combat training is at most a group of martial arts masters with moral integrity, rather than a warrior who can form a strong army.

Moreover, most Japanese samurai are still servants who guard the house and protect the house for the ministers... Those servants are not famous in the Warring States Period, so they don't need to raise the servants too fiercely. As long as they can help suppress the farmers and scare the servants in the next manor, it is basically enough.

In this case, except for the warriors in the north who specialize in suppressing samurai, most of them are weak and are not the opponent of Zhao Shu's iron armored infantry at all.

There is another reason that also prompted Zhao Shu to make up his mind to invade.

This is because the Japanese Kyushu Island is far away from the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kai, who has no navy, cannot fight! Moreover, the area of ​​Kyushu Island is not too small, the climate is relatively comfortable, and the products are also rich. If it can be occupied in its entirety, it can be used as a refuge for Zhao Huan and Zhao Chen...

Standing on the second floor of a restaurant near Hakata Bay, looking at the rows of Tang-style or Song-style buildings in the Tangfang of Shiqi, as well as the prosperous street market (Zhao Shu restrains the troops and does not violate them), Zhao Shu said to Zhao Buqiu beside him with a little emotion: "We China have always been a matter of no matter how long and no matter how long the people are... The elder brother of the lonely family will not use troops to fight, and will sooner or later be defeated by the third brother of the lonely family. At that time, with the greatness of China, there will be no place to allow him to live.

The climate, customs, and products here are not much different from China, but they are also suspended overseas and have their own pattern. They can be taken down to support the elder brother of the orphan king and save the life of the King of Jinling!"

After hearing this, Zhao Buqiu felt a little more respect for the "Five Sages" in his heart.

He is also a member of the Zhao family. Although he is a side branch, he also knows the rules of the imperial family... Zhao Kai is already very arrogant to be able to tolerate brothers like Zhao Shu. It is impossible for Zhao Chen to tolerate Zhao Huan.

So if Zhao Huan and Zhao Chen want to survive after the failure of the struggle, they have to go abroad!

And if you want to go abroad... you have to prepare early!

But you can't wait until Zhao Kai hits outside Jinling City before you think of running away... At that time, if you don't have sufficient preparation, you can't get out of the sea at all, so you can only jump into the sea!

Zhao Buqiu bowed to Zhao Shu, "The king can consider the two officials like this, which is really my wise king of the Song Dynasty. Don't admire him!"

While the two were talking, a staircase sounded, and then a Zhao Shu's aide came to report: "Master, there is an old man who claims to be the Quanshi of the Japanese Dazaifu. He brought hundreds of Japanese soldiers and generals outside the Honglu Hall across the river, saying that he wanted to negotiate with us."

Zhao Shu smiled and said to Zhao Buqiu: "Okay... Someone has come to negotiate with us, this is a good thing! Buqiu, what should we make?"

Zhao Buqiu thought for a while and said, "It is probably not possible to directly cede land. We have to fight... We have to cheat step by step."

Zhao Shu shook his head, "How is it a lie? My Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette and a country of benevolence and righteousness. How can I lie?"

Zhao Buqiu was right when he thought about it, "What the king said is that we are here to help Japan... and that we are here to help Japan resist the Jin Dynasty! The Jin thieves have occupied Goryeo and will soon invade Japan to seize Hakata's wealth!

We got the news and came to protect Hakata in advance... Let their emperor give us an island garrison warships, and we will protect Hakata and the entire Kyushu from being harmed by the Jin thieves. They only need to pay a little military expense to us."

Zhao Shu nodded and smiled and said, "Okay... that's it! The lonely family heard from those merchants that there is a small Hirado island in the northwest corner of Kyushu Island, which can be stationed in the navy. Why not just want it there!

In addition, let’s protect a big media for the King of Jinling and let him marry a prince of Japan as a county lord (little wife), so that we can manage Kyushu in the future under his name.”

Zhao Buqiu added: "Master, bring a few more fried pots... Let the Japanese master know how powerful we are!"

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Okay! That's it!"

I have to say that Zhao Shu and Zhao Buqiu's colonization skills have also increased!

Last time I suffered a loss in Goryeo (Is this a loss?), I was much more careful when I was having sex with the Japanese.

......

"Boom..."

A loud bang!

He almost scared Yuan Jingxing out of a heart attack... He was really in a miserable life! He should have sang and recited poems with those young samurai warriors with beautiful eyes. Now he was scared by a black and strong prince of the Song Dynasty (Zhao Shu was tanned and became strong and strong) with a "spell" that could thunder!

"Come on, lift the target up and show it to Dazai!"

Zhao Shu glanced at the old man with lead powder on his face, and then he asked someone to bring a screen that acted as a target to continue to scare the old man.

The screen is made of wooden boards. It was originally very strong, but now it has been blown up and exploded and the iron sand filled in the blowing pot, making dozens of holes of all sizes!

"Haha, such a strong wooden board cannot be stopped. If it were a warrior in armor, it would be a big blow!"

Zhao Shu touched his beard and said with a smile: "Now, when fighting in the Central Plains, people use the skull to throw hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of explosive pots out, and then the cavalry and infantry went up to fight. If anyone didn't have a skull, it would be miserable... they could only be bombed!

Dazai, do you Japan have a fried pot?"

"No..." Although Genko-kyu is Genko, he is a nobleman (Uwa Genko is a nobleman). His cultural level is still very high and he can speak fluent Chinese.

But he didn't know how the fried pot was made!

It seems that it is too early to be closed to the country! The old man thought to himself: Why did he stay closed to the country if he didn't learn to make a blowout pot? This backwardness is going to be bombed... No, Japan has to send an envoy to Song!
