The sea, the vast water is endless. The Jiaolongjun Qingzhou No. 1 ship is full of sails in the downwind, as brisk as a bird, the pointed bow splits the waves, and the white water splash blooms.
"Ah..." A sailor stood on the deck, holding his hands in front of his mouth, and yelled to the sea.
"Haha!" Everyone roared with laughter, and someone yelled, "Li Mazi has to recite poems before he learns to read!" "Haha..."
A Yamato businessman said in jerky Chinese: "Your ship is too fast, you can see the land of Japan very quickly at this speed!"
As an envoy to Japan, Zhao Hong, an envoy to the Privy Council, said with a smile: "Smooth sailing, more results with less effort."
The deputy envoy Zhang Yin followed his ears and quietly said to the envoy: "The Jiaolongjun light boat is improved from a large food ship, with a slender hull, equipped with a sail and a water wheel, and a crew of 50 people; adapt to headwinds, Sailing in calm weather, the speed is sixty miles an hour (eight knots) when the wind is downwind. From the Jingkou Port of Jiangning to the island of Kyushu, Japan, according to investigations, it is about 1,700 miles. If this is the weather on the way, the sails will be full day and night. You can reach Kyushu Island in Japan in less than three days."
Being nodded.
Zhang Yin was originally a bookkeeper next to privy envoy Wang Pu. He has nothing to do with him in Tokyo. Fortunately, he is very familiar with Wang Puxiang in the case. Later, the emperor went on an expedition. He served as a errand in the former camp and stayed with Emperor Guo Shao for a while...In Zhang Yin’s experience, Guo Shao was a person with a very special style, and his words and deeds could influence people. The expedition was only a few months away. , Zhang Yin was also affected a lot.
Guo Shao is not like most high-ranking people talking about the big things, but he pays most attention to the specific details. Zhang Yin thought of the unforgettable days around the emperor, and the things that came to mind were very small things. Guo Shao picked up a spoon in the barracks and personally tasted the soldiers’ meals; and once he got angry and said to the scout general: Suizhou is a hundred miles here, and one hundred and fifty miles is one hundred and fifty miles. It is definitely not such words as "not too far" or "coming to Suizhou soon"! Get off the horse and walk if you don’t know, count me step by step!
Since ancient times, the land of abundance in the land of Shu, whoever goes out of Sichuan is to realize their ambitions! Zhang Yin straightened his chest, stroking the fine and firm woodworking structure on the ship's railing, feeling inexplicably excited.
The supreme ruler of the dynasty, the attitude of every word and deed will obviously affect many places, and now even the guardrail of a warship can be so delicate and serious.
Imperial Foundation, Guo Shao has said this term twice. Zhang Yin stood on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, leaning forward into the wind, watching the waves of the vast sea, the distant East Island seemed to be in the sky, but the king's soil under the world has no boundaries; the ambition to make meritorious deeds is also far away!
Sure enough, a few days later, people saw the land on the ship, and there was another cheering on the deck. Zhang Yin has gained a lot from his trip, and he also truly experienced the joy of sailing on the boundless sea and seeing the land at once.
But the voyage is not over yet. Following the guidance of the Yamato merchant, the ship will 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 close to Heiankyo.
Along the way, I encountered an inquiry from a Japanese ship. The envoy asked the guide to translate, and showed the seal of the envoy, which was released smoothly. At this time, the wind was small and the sailing speed slowed down. People took off their sails and used human water wheels to drive the boats and sail slowly... Many of Xu Jun's light boats do not use oars and are directly powered by water wheels.
A few more days later, Zhang Yin and others arrived at Watanabetsu (Osaka Port) at the mouth of the Yodogawa River. Then they met Japanese officials. The chief and deputy envoys and guide interpreters changed ships to follow the officials to Heiankyo. In fact, Zhang Yin and others usually do not need translation. The officials in Japan can speak Chinese, and their annals are also written in Chinese. Civil officials can read and write more or less.
When they arrived in Ping An Jing, Zhang Yin had a familiar feeling. The architectural layout in front of him was basically similar to the Tang Dynasty Chang'an in the picture! It is said that officials and people of the country serve etiquette, and there is also a faint shadow of the Central Plains. The familiar feeling made Zhang Yin a very good impression of Japan’s own country. He said to the righteous envoy: “Japan’s own country is the land of kings, and it should be done according to the rules of the Central Plains. This trip should be much smoother.”
Zhao Hong said calmly: "It's too early to tell."
Zhang Yin worshiped: "Zhao Shijun's words are reasonable."
Zhao Hong and others were taken and first handed over a large number of documents in a mansion, and then they were settled down without seeing the Japanese king. Zhang Yin found that the officials of this country were more silent and cautious, and generally did not get a clear answer when asked. On the contrary, Yamato merchant guides are easier to get along with, but the merchant knows too little and can only get some information that everyone knows.
At this time, the name of the lord of the country is called Cheng Ming (the Emperor Murakami), which is quite famous among the people, because the "rule of the calendar" has made the country peaceful and the people; but the actual power is not the king, but the minister of regent Fujiwara Actually.
During the days waiting for the summons, Zhang Yin often talked with guides and local people and recorded various things.
He wrote in the dossier that the power of Japan’s country’s lord has fallen, and the foreign relatives, Fujiwara, have long held the real power. The "owners", "leaders" and the nobles who owned the land lived in the territorial fiefs of Ping An Jingyao, and the Ping Jing singing and dancing rose to peace, and the place was actually controlled by Zhuang Tian officials and samurai.
At this moment, an official from Japan visited the hotel and claimed to be participating in Ono Koko. Zhao Hong and Zhang Yin received the counselor together in the living room.
Ono Kokoo is a short, thin old man, but he is in good spirits and has a good posture.
An entourage of Yamato said in Chinese: "Ono-kun is a military strategist, he is good at wakame, both civil and military, and the former anti-thief Fujiwara Juntomo rebellion (the peace of the Tiankei rebellion), all depends on Ono-kun’s efforts to calm down."
Zhao Hong clasped his fists and said: "Long Yang Ono is famous."
Ono’s ancient gaze stayed on Zhao Hong for a while, but he paused for a while on Zhang Yin’s face, bowed and said in a jerky but fluent Chinese accent: "If there is any improper hospitality for our officials, please pay it off. Your envoy, a lot of Haihan."
When Zhao Hong saw him politely, he smiled and said: "It's very good. Although the place where we live is sleeping on the ground, it is very clean; the rice and dried fish are also very good. Please sit down!"
Several people knelt down in the room face to face.
"So..." Koko Ono groaned for a moment, "The two noble ambassadors came to our country this time, is it because the Emperor Xu canonized the emperor of his own country?"
When they heard "Japanese Emperor", Zhao Hong and Zhang Yin's faces changed. The atmosphere that was good at first changed immediately. Zhao Hongzheng said: "There is no two days, there is only one emperor in the world, and that is the emperor of Da Xu. It's just that the country is called the emperor, how can it be called the emperor?"
Zhang Yin is not happy anymore: "The laws of the world are the same. Your country is deeply affected by Chinese (Central Plains) rituals, don't you know?"
Xiao Gu frowned and said: "The emperor of this country is the emperor at sunrise, and the emperor of Central Plains is the emperor at sunset. Our monarchs recognize Emperor Xu as the emperor, why don't you respect them equally?"
Zhang Yin said: "General Ono can speak Chinese, and he should know that there are no two emperors."
Ono Kogu said coldly: "Since the Amaterasu Emperor Taishen founded his own business, the Japanese emperor will never change forever. Does it need to be titled by others? If you hold this idea, please come back!"
After speaking, he got up and walked away.
Zhao Hong and Zhang Yin looked at each other. Zhao Hong said: "Just now, the sibling issued an order to evict customers, shall we go back like this?"
Zhang Yin said without hesitation: "Even if you return without success, you can't give in. Besides, without the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, what is the name of the court for official exchanges? Said this country is too arrogant! Khan is only called the lord of the country. How can you call the lord of the East Island the emperor? If they pay tribute to the court, they will be called the king in the big promise and the emperor in the country. Just like the Liao country, things may be discussed...like now, It is said that the lord of the country handed over the letter to the court in the name of the emperor, how can the princes of the court accept it?"
In the afternoon, another man with fat head and big ears arrived. His body was so fat that he could not get in at the door, so everyone had to talk in the yard. He called himself Fujiwara Asana, and boasted that he was very good at eating, eating seven or eight rice bowls and dozens of fish. He first talked about Ono's good old days. He said that the servant was a martial artist and had no knowledge, which offended the noble envoy Yunyun.
Although this guy is ugly and fat, he speaks a lot. He also praised the emperor Da Xu's achievements in conquering Youzhou and Pingxia, and expressed his admiration.
Zhang Yin sounds like a general guess: Japan is not an attitude in Japan, and political opinions are divided. Although this Fujiwara Chaocheng is suspected of having wine and rice bags (too edible), at least he has concerns about Xu Jun's record.
He immediately asked: "General Ono was rudely chasing guests, and Fujiwara treated me politely. Who should we listen to and how do we respond to our country's attitude?"
Fujiwara Chaocheng said seriously: "Of course listen to me. You only need to think about the surname of the minister of the court and you will know who said what worked!"
After listening, Zhang Yin couldn't question it. It made sense.
Zhang Yin asked again: "The Minister of Sheguan agrees that the Lord of Japan should be canonized by the emperor of my dynasty?"
"This..." Fujiwara Chaocheng said in a low voice, "You know, everything depends on the Minister of Securitate. I am afraid that the canonization is difficult. But our country has always admired the Central Plains. In the name of Minister Guan, pay tribute."
This is very sincere, and it is also a compromise method to resolve disputes. But in reality, Zhao Hong and others could not complete their mission. Their mission was to try to discuss the canonization of their own country and establish a relationship between monarchs and ministers... In this way, it is possible to do things in their own vassal state, both in name and convenience. Different, this is also to pave the way for a further foothold in Japan in the future.
It has been almost ten days since they arrived in Ping An Jing, and there has been little progress. Zhang Yin felt that it was difficult to make meritorious service. The country he came to seemed to admire the culture of the Central Plains, but he was not so submissive. He also wrote his views in the dossier he was going to play.
