The sea, the vast water is endless.The No. 1 ship of Jiaolong Army Light Boat was full in the wind, as light as a bird, with a sharp bow splitting the waves, and white water splashes blooming.
Ah… A sailor stood on the deck holding his hands in front of his mouth and shouted loudly at the sea.
Ha ha!Everyone burst into laughter, and some people shouted, "Li Mazi has not learned to read, but she wants to recite poems before she can learn to read!"Ha ha……
A Yamato businessman said in awkward Chinese: The ship of the nobleman is too fast, you can see the land of Japan at this speed very quickly!
Zhao Hong, the envoy of the Japanese envoy and the Privy Council, said with a smile: Everything goes smoothly and twice the result with half the effort.
However, the deputy envoy Zhang Yin came over and said to the commander: The Jiaolong Army's light boat has been improved by a large food ship. It has a long hull, equipped with sailing and water wheels, and has a crew of fifty people. It is adapted to sailing against the wind and windless weather, and the speed is 60 miles per hour (eight knots).From Jiangning Jingkou Port to Kyushu Island, Japan, it is about 1,700 miles to investigate. If our ship is full of sails day and night, it will take less than three days to reach Kyushu Island, Japan.
He was nodding.
Zhang Yin was originally a clerk around the Privy Councilor Wang Pu. He had nothing to do with him in Tokyo. Fortunately, he was between the documents and was very familiar with Wang Pu.
Later, when the emperor went to the war, he worked in the former camp military mansion and stayed with Emperor Guo Shao for a while... In Zhang Yin's knowledge, Guo Shao was a person with a very special style, and his words and deeds were extremely influential; in just a few months of his expedition, Zhang Yin was also greatly affected.
Guo Shao is not like most people who speak up, but he is most concerned about specific details.
When Zhang Yin remembered those unforgettable days around the emperor, the things that came to his mind were all very small things.
Guo Shao picked up a spoon in the military camp and tasted the soldiers' meals himself. Once he got angry, he said to the scout general: It is one hundred miles to reach Suizhou for 100 miles, and one hundred and fifty miles is one hundred and fifty miles. It is definitely not a word that is not too far away. Soon to reach Suizhou!
If you don’t know, get off the horse and walk, and count me step by step!
Since ancient times, in the country of Shu, anyone who comes out of Sichuan is to realize his ambitions!Zhang Yin straightened his chest and stroked the fine and solid woodworking structure on the ship's railings, feeling inexplicably excited.
The Supreme Ruler of the dynasty, his every word and action, obviously affects many places. Now even the guardrail of a warship can be done so carefully.
Guo Shao once said this word twice.
Zhang Yin stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, looking up at the wind, watching the waves of the vast sea. The distant East Island seemed to be in the sky, but the kingly land under the sky had no boundaries; the ambition to make achievements is also in the distance!
Sure enough, a few days later, people saw the land on the boat, and there was another cheer on the deck.
Zhang Yin gained a lot on this trip, and he also truly experienced the joy of sailing on the boundless sea and seeing the land all at once.
However, the voyage is not over yet. According to the Yamato merchant's guide, the ship still has to travel north along the coast, and then enter the Japanese domestic sea from the Strait Waterway between Kyushu and Honshu, so that it can stop at the port near Heian Kyo.
Along the way, I encountered a Japanese ship asking me about it. The envoy asked the guide to translate and showed the envoy's seal, and was successfully released.
At this time, the wind was low and the navigation speed slowed down. People collected the sails, used human-powered water wheels to drive the ships, and sailed slowly... Many of Xu Jun's light ships did not use oars, but directly used the wheels of the water truck as power.
Several days later, Zhang Yin and others arrived at Watanabetsu (Osaka Port) at the mouth of the Yodogawa River, and then met Japanese officials, the chief and deputy envoy and guides, who changed the boat and followed the officials to Heian Kyo.
In fact, Zhang Yin and others usually don’t need to translate. The officials received by Japan can speak Chinese, and their history books are also written in Chinese, and civil servants can read and write more or less.
When they arrived in Ping'anjing, Zhang Yin felt familiar, and the architectural layout in front of him was simply similar to the Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty in the picture!
The officials and people of Japan also have a faint shadow of the Central Plains.
The familiar feeling made Zhang Yin have a very good impression of Japan. He told the truth: Japan is a place of royal transformation, and the rules of the Central Plains should be done much smoother.
Zhao Hong said calmly: It’s too early to say it now.
Zhang Yin bowed and said: What Zhao envoy said is reasonable.
Zhao Hong and others were taken to submit a letter of Daxu in a palace, and then settled down without seeing the Japanese king.
Zhang Yin found that the officials in this country were relatively quiet and cautious, and they usually did not get a clear answer if they asked.
However, Yamato businessman guides are easier to get along with, but businessmen know too little and can only get some information that everyone knows.
At this time, the name of the Japanese lord was Nakayama (Emperor Murakami), which was quite famous among the people because the Tianli rule made the country peaceful and the people safe; however, the actual person in power was not the king, but the minister Fujiwara Mirai.
During the days waiting for the summons, Zhang Yinchang talked with the guide and the locals and recorded various things.
He wrote in the file that the power of the Japanese king was lost, and the relative Ivya Waka had long held the real power.
The land-owned family, the lords and nobles lived in Heianjing and received fiefs from afar. Heianjing sang and danced to peace, and the place was actually controlled by the sect and samurai.
At this moment, an official from Japan visited the hotel and claimed to be a senator ono Yoko.Zhao Hong and Zhang Yin received the senator together in the living room.
Ono Yoko is a short and thin old man, but he is very energetic and has a very upright posture.
A Yamato who followed him said in Chinese: Onojun is a military strategist, and is good at Musuke, both civil and military. The former rebel Fujiwara Junto rebelled (Sei Ping Tianqing Rebellion), and it was all up to Onojun to calm down.
Zhao Hong bowed with his fists and said: I have long admired General Ono's reputation.
Ono Yoshigu's eyes stopped on Zhao Hong for a while, but paused on Zhang Yin's face for a long time, bowed and said in a fluent Chinese accent: If there is any inappropriate hospitality among our officials, they will be more noble and generous.
Seeing him being polite, Zhao Hong smiled and said: Very good. Although the place we live in is sleeping on the ground, it is very clean; the rice and dried fish are also well made.Please sit down!
Several people knelt down in the room face to face.
Then... Ono Yoko pondered for a moment and said, "When the two noble envoys arrived in our country, is Emperor Daxu's enthronement of the Japanese Emperor?"
When Zhao Hong and Zhang Yin heard about the Japanese Emperor, their expressions changed.
The good atmosphere changed immediately, and Zhao Hong said seriously: There is no other day, and there is only one emperor in the world, that is Emperor Daxu.It’s just that Japan can be called emperor, how can it be called emperor?
Zhang Yin was not happy: This is the case with all laws in the world. Your country is deeply influenced by the Chinese (Central Plains) etiquette and law. Don’t you know it?
Yoko Ono frowned and said: The Emperor of Japan is the emperor where the sun rises, and the Emperor of Central Plains is the emperor where the sunsets.Our country's monarchs and ministers recognize Emperor Daxu as the emperor. Why do you not respect equally?
Zhang Yin said: General Ono can speak Chinese and understand the law of etiquette. He should know that there are no two emperors.
Ono Yoshigu said coldly: Since Emperor Amaterasu founded his business and ruled, the Japanese Emperor has not changed for generations, so how could he be titled by others?If you hold this thought, please go back!
After saying that, he got up and left with his sleeves.
Zhao Hong and Zhang Yin looked at each other.Zhao Hong said: The guy just issued an order to expel guests. Let’s go back like this?
Zhang Yin said without hesitation: Even if he returns without success, he cannot give in to this matter.Besides, there is no right to the monarch and minister, what is the name of the official exchanges in the court?Japan is too arrogant!Our dynasty only calls the king of the country to the Khan of the Great Liao Dynasty. How can we call the king of the East Island the emperor?If they pay tribute to the court, they are praised as kings and emperors in their country, just like the Liao Kingdom, things may be discussed... Now, if the Japanese king gives the imperial court a letter to the court in the name of the emperor, how can the court accept it?
In the afternoon, another fat man came. He was so fat that he couldn't even get in, so everyone had to talk in the yard.
He called himself Asahi Fujiwara, and boasted that he was very good at eating, and could eat rice and dozens of fish.
He first said that Ono's good old thing was wrong, saying that the guy was a martial artist who had no knowledge and offended the noble envoy.
Although this guy is ugly and fat, he hears a lot when he speaks.He also praised Emperor Daxu's achievements in conquering Youzhou and Pingxia, and expressed his admiration.
Zhang Yin sounded roughly speculated: Japan is not the same attitude, and there are differences in political views.Although this Fujiwara Asahira is suspected of having a good meal (it is too good to eat), he at least has some concerns about Xu Jun's record.
He immediately asked: General Ono was rude to expel guests, and Fujiwara Gong treated me with courtesy. Who should we listen to and how to report to Japan's attitude?
Fujiwara Asahisa said seriously: Of course, listen to me, only think about the surname of the minister who was in charge of the dynasty, and then you will know who said what is effective!
After hearing this, Zhang Yin could not question it. It made sense.
Zhang Yin asked again: Does the Minister of the Guan Dynasty agree with the Japanese lord being enthroned by our emperor?
This... Fujiwara whispered to the end of the day, you know, whether everything is successful depends on the meaning of the Minister of the Guanguan.The enthronement may be difficult to handle.However, our country has always admired the Central Plains and could pay tribute to the court in the name of the Minister of Guan.
This is still very sincere when you hear this, and it is also a way to compromise in resolving disputes.
But in fact, Zhao Hong and others were unable to fulfill their mission. Their mission was to try to discuss the enthronement of the Japanese lord and establish a relationship between the monarch and the minister... In this way, Da Xu's affairs in his own vassal states were completely different in name and convenience, and this was also to pave the way for further foothold in Japan in the future.
They have been in Heian Kyo for almost ten days and there has been little progress.
Only then did Zhang Yin feel that it was difficult to make contributions. The country he came to seemed to admire Central Plains culture, but in fact it was not so respectful. He also wrote his views into the file to be submitted.
Ah… A sailor stood on the deck holding his hands in front of his mouth and shouted loudly at the sea.
Ha ha!Everyone burst into laughter, and some people shouted, "Li Mazi has not learned to read, but she wants to recite poems before she can learn to read!"Ha ha……
