Chapter 1063 The King of Nanyang
The waiter reported that King Mingyue had arrived. The originally lively banquet suddenly fell silent, but King As had already stood up suddenly, raised his eyebrows, but soon snorted coldly and sat down.
King Fujiwara also frowned, but heard Queen Fujiwara saying lightly: "Please invite King Mingyue!"
The waiter went down to report immediately.
The people at the banquet were all whispering and talking a lot, and many people were angry. Guan Shaohe had approached Han Mo and whispered: "Fifth Young Master, it seems that this Mingyue King is not very likable!"
Han Mo smiled slightly and said softly: "I heard that there are three major countries in Nanyang. In addition to Jusang and Toulus, there is also a Huyueluo Kingdom, which is also very powerful. If it is a king of a small country, it would not cause such a big disturbance. This Mingyue King is probably the king of Huyueluo Kingdom!"
Guan Shaohe nodded slightly and said, "It's probably true!"
Seeing Guan Shaohe and Han Mo whisper, Queen Fujiwara smiled and said with a smile: "King of Donghai, King Mingyue is the king of Huyueluo!"
Han Mo and Guan Shaohe looked at each other and smiled.
After a while, he heard loud crying outside. Then a middle-aged man in his forties came to the royal court wearing armor and was crying and saying something. Because it was Nanyang dialect, Han Mo couldn't understand it for a while.
Xiaoqian opened her eyes wide and looked at Han Qin beside her, all full of strange looks. Huiniang and Yun Qian were arranged behind them, hugging Xiao Dinger. Xiao Dinger was dancing, but when she heard the crying, she calmed down. Her little eyes turned, as if she was looking for where the crying came from.
Everyone at the banquet turned their eyes to the man. Han Mo also looked at the man in a very calm manner. Seeing that the man was wearing armor, he seemed to be in dust.
The Nanyang translator arranged for Han Mo next to him had already whispered: "King of Donghai, King Mingyue is crying for the soldiers who died in battle. He also said that he came at full speed, but in the end he was still one step slower..."
But King As suddenly stood up, smashed the wine glass in his hand heavily to the ground, and then pointed at King Mingyue, his hair and beard were wide open, and he roared.
King Asa's temper was really hot and his voice was like thunder. The King of Mingyue was originally crying with one hand covering his face, but when King Asa roared loudly, he miraculously stopped crying instantly. He also looked at King Asa with anger. Looking at the expression, he was also very annoyed.
King As and King Mingyue are both kings of the great powers of the South China Sea. The two quarreled. Although many of the kings and princes of the small kings and princes present supported King As and denounced King Mingyue, they did not dare to provoke him directly after all, and they were silent.
The translator seemed to be shocked by the quarrel between the two kings. After finally coming back to his senses, he hurriedly explained to Han Mo: "King Asi-King rebuked King Mingyue for not saving him when he died. It was... a coward, but King Mingyue said that he gathered his troops and arrived at the fastest speed, but he just missed the war. Asi-King Asi-King's Huyue Luo Kingdom is very close to Jusang Kingdom, and it should have arrived long ago to save him. King Mingyue said that King Asi was making trouble...!"
This translation is a Nanyang translation specially arranged by Fujiwara King for Han Mo. Although he is well-versed in Chinese, he speaks a bit stiff, and Han Mo feels a little overwhelmed.
At this time, his wife and children were there, and he was also worried that the fierce quarrel between the two kings would scare his family. He stood up and laughed loudly: "Two, the matter has passed, why both of them are hurt by this? There is a saying in the Central Plains that harmony is the most important thing in everything, and both of them are noble people, so there is no need to worry too much!"
King As and King Mingyue quarreled, but the little king of the small country did not dare to interrupt. King Fujiwara hoped that the two kings of the great powers would be incompatible, and they were so happy that they sat by the mountain watching the tiger fight. Therefore, the two quarreled fiercely, but no one said anything.
Han Mo suddenly stood up to persuade him. Everyone was startled, and then many people breathed a sigh of relief. After all, big countries were fighting and small countries suffered. No one wanted the monarchs of the two countries to continue arguing in this royal court. Han Mo came forward to persuade him, which was the most suitable person.
King Ashe didn't buy other people's face, but he still had to give Han Mo's face. He sat down angrily and ignored it again.
When the Mingyue King saw Han Mo, he looked at him, and then saw that he was in the position of a distinguished guest. He immediately knew Han Mo's identity. The Mingyue's face was filled with smiles and seemed extremely excited. He came forward and grabbed Han Mo's arm, shook it desperately, with an excited face, and said in a more rigid Chinese: "King of Donghai, you saved us, and are our great benefactor of Nanyang... Please be sure to go to our Huyueluo Kingdom and let me fulfill the friendship of the landlord..."
As soon as he said that, Fujiwara King became anxious and said loudly: "King Mingyue, the welcome banquet that I, Kikusang, set up for the King of Tokai, has not ended yet, but you want King of Tokai to go to your Huyueluo Kingdom. What is this? Do you still take my Kikusang Kingdom seriously?"
Mingyue King said: "I was excited for a moment, so King Fujiwara doesn't mind. However, I have sent someone to pass on the news that King Donghai saved Nanyang. My people will definitely wait for the visit of my great benefactor!"
This Mingyue King is the most slick among the kings.
The Huyueluo Kingdom is much closer to the Kusuan Kingdom than the Turus Kingdom. After learning that the Japanese bandits had invaded the Nanyang, Queen Fujiwara immediately sent several envoys, and the envoys to the Huyue Kingdom had already arrived and begged King Mingyue to lead several surrounding countries to rescue them, and jointly resisted the Japanese bandits.
After receiving the news, King Mingyue was hesitant and his ministers were very sected. One was strongly aspiring to gather the troops of several surrounding countries and quickly heading to Jusang Kingdom, combining the power of the South China countries to fight to the death with the Japanese bandits. The other was a minority and advocated to wait and see the changes.
The ministers who advocated watching the changes hoped to see the situation of the war first. If the Japanese bandits were too strong, even if Huyueluo came forward, they would just die in vain. It would be better to wait until Jusang and other countries consumed the Japanese bandits' strength first. If there was a chance, they would take the opportunity to destroy the Japanese bandits in one fell swoop. If the Japanese bandits were not injured, then they would make peace with the Japanese bandits. Even if they had to pay a great price, they would be better than the Huyueluo Kingdom's destruction.
The two factions were quarreling, and the majority of those who advocated sending troops were actually agreed to watch out for the changes. In fact, King Mingyue agreed to the strategy of watching the changes, and thought beautifully that if the Jusang Kingdom and the Toulus Kingdom fought with the Japanese bandits, the strength of these two countries would definitely weaken sharply, and the Japanese bandits would probably be much weaker after a battle. At that time, it was just right to watch its power. If it could fight, it would take advantage of the situation to eliminate the Japanese bandits. If the Japanese bandits still had strength, then negotiate with them.
However, because there are many officials in China who support the dispatch of troops and are morally irrelevant, he is not easy to ignore them. Instead, he ordered people to gather troops and recruit large fishing boats. He even ordered small countries around him to gather troops and gather more than 20 warships of all sizes and nearly 2,000 people to come to Jusang Kingdom.
On the way, he asked the fleet to move slowly, but dozens of nautical miles away from Jusang Kingdom, he stopped the whole team, but sent a small boat forward to inquire about the news.
In fact, they arrived earlier than the Japanese bandits, but they did not move forward until the Japanese bandits attacked two days later. After King Mingyue got the news, they still stopped moving forward. They even explained to their subordinates that they would beat the dogs in the water. When the Japanese bandits were tired, they would take the opportunity to come out.
Later, I heard that the Central Plains fleet appeared and the Japanese bandits were defeated. King Mingyue immediately ordered the entire army to be dispatched. Unfortunately, when the surveyor returned to the fleet to report, the war had ended. They were afraid of discovering that they were far from the Jusang Kingdom and later wanted to get some bargain, but it was a long way away. By the time they arrived, the battlefield had been cleaned.
The Mingyue King was helpless and had to land in the city, which staged this drama.
But his head was flexible. When he saw Han Mo, he felt that this was a huge backer. Once such a backer was fought over by Jusang Kingdom or Toulus Kingdom, then Huyueluo Kingdom would not have any good life in the future.
He also knew that he was late, and the Central Plains fleet had joined forces with the other two countries, and he had already taken the lead in his relationship, so he thought about inviting Han Mo to Huyueluo Kingdom to entertain and contact him, so that Han Mo would become the backstage of Huyueluo Kingdom.
He was as thoughtful as King Fujiwara, and King Fujiwara naturally couldn't let him succeed. He said loudly: "This time, King Donghai helped me, although I saved the countries in the South China Sea, the first one to benefit was my Kikusang Kingdom. Compared with other countries, King Donghai had the greatest favor to my Kikusang Kingdom."
He stood up and said with a solemn expression: "I decided to thank the King of Donghai for his kindness to me, Jusang Kingdom, to give the King of Donghai a special position. All the country, except for me, the King of Guo can manage all affairs!"
His words were said in Nanyang dialect, but Han Mo did not understand them for a moment.
However, Queen Fujiwara and the Nanyang people around him were all surprised when they heard Fujiwara Wang's words.
They knew that this "National Lord" was not an ordinary title. Since the founding of Jusang Kingdom, only one person was named "National Lord". It was when Jusang Kingdom was founded. The previous king died and the Young King came to power. A famous minister assisted You Wang for fourteen years and was loyal. Later, the Young King took power and gave the famous minister the "National Lord" to interfere in all affairs of Jusang Kingdom.
At this time, King Fujiwara announced this kingly order in front of everyone at this banquet, which was really shocked by everyone.
Queen Fujiwara frowned at first. She didn't like the fact that Fujiwara King was so eager for quick success and even gave Han Mo such a noble title so hasty. However, she was the mother of a country after all, but she also understood the interests. If Han Mo could win over, she would have huge benefits to the Kikusang Kingdom, both politically and economically.
And she also knew in her heart that such titles were extremely noble in Jusang Kingdom and even the entire Nanyang, but this Donghai King may not take them seriously.
He has such a powerful fleet and his status in the Central Plains is just as mediocre. Naturally, it is impossible to leave the power of the Central Plains and stay in the Jusang Kingdom to be a national honor.
But as long as Han Mo accepted this title, even if the person was not in Jusang, he was nominally the supreme king of Jusang Kingdom and was bound to Jusang Kingdom.
With this idea, Queen Fujiwara glanced at Han Mo and saw the translator whispering to Han Mo, but Han Mo's eyes seemed to be looking here. For some reason, after contacting Han Mo's eyes, Queen Fujiwara felt her heart beat and quickly turned her head away.
Han Mo had heard the explanation, but was a little surprised. When King Mingyue saw it, he was very anxious. If this King Donghai really accepted the title of "National Lord" of Jusang Kingdom, there would be no chance. Before Han Mo could say it, he said loudly: "King Fujiwara, I would have given the title of "National Lord of the East Sea, but you thought it out? Wouldn't this humiliating King Donghai? This title of "National Lord" is of great glory to your country, but it is not as good as King Fujiwara. Do you want King Donghai to become your subject?"
King Fujiwara took out the title of "National Lord" and was already the biggest ace. After hearing what King Mingyue said, he immediately felt his face down.
This time, King As was unexpectedly standing with King Mingyue, stood up and laughed, "King Fujiwara, you are drunk. You want King Tohoku to be your subject, but my country of Torus wants King Tohoku to be our king!" He raised his hands and whispered: "King King Tohoku is not only a meritorious person for you, the Kingdom of Kikusang? If King Tohoku had not helped, I would have died at the hands of the Japanese bandits, and the entire Nanyang would have fallen into the hands of the Japanese bandits... The King of Tohoku is the King of Tohoku, and even the King of South China!"
