Chapter 392: Grab First as a Respect
Qingzhou is a good place. The closest straight-line distance to Dongwo is only 780 kilometers. If you drive, it will probably take only one day and one night.
But for this feudal era...
This distance is estimated to take seven or eight days, but this is on the sea. According to ancient history, taking Jianzhen's voyage to the East as an example, it took him about a month.
That's because they went in the wrong direction. After going around in circles, they first ran to Hainan, and then went around in circles again.
In ancient times, even though East Wo was not far from here, once you went out to sea, you would be blind because everything around you was the same and there was no reference point.
In this situation, it is like being thrown into a desert on land. How do you know where it is? How do you go east, west, and north?
Fortunately, the shameless Li Jize not only made a compass for today's event, but also explored the water temperature, and even understood the monsoon and route.
How do I lose this? How does this take a detour?
Will there be problems?
Okay! Li Jize also prepared fishermen who had been to the East Wo fishing area to serve as guides. Let them lead you there. If you still can't find the way, then you will all die in the sea.
If you open the map, you will find that one corner of Qingzhou protrudes outward, forming a circular angle with Goryeo on the sea.
In other words, Jianzhen spent half a month on the voyage eastward, and thirty-six people died. However, these Qi invaders did not take any detours, and even stopped in Goryeo, where they were given food supplies by people sent by Hu Guangsheng.
After five days and five nights of this...
Following the monsoon, they arrived at the nearest East Japanese "Kyushu"!
This time, due to Li Jize's human intervention, the "divine wind" could no longer protect the Eastern Japanese people, but instead became a help to the Qi people.
They probably racked their brains but could not imagine that disaster could strike them while they were just sitting at home.
This is not...
The Matsuura clan, a vassal state in Kyushu, was similar to the "Jiedushi" of the past and occupied a large territory.
Anyone who has seen "The Outlaws" knows that the Japanese pirates in the film have a young leader named Matsuura Ban. What does this mean?
Kyushu is indeed very close to Shenzhou, and the people of Matsuura Domain did have the ulterior motive to plunder Da Qi.
and so……
They held a meeting. Faced with the "General's" ban on military affairs, which resulted in unemployed warriors everywhere, how should they deal with it?
If they were asked to support these warriors, they obviously could not afford it. But if they did not, these unemployed warriors would lose their source of income and could not survive, which would inevitably cause unrest and even threaten their rule. What should they do?
After much deliberation, someone suggested, "We can go plunder on land!"
Ok?
When these words were spoken, everyone was dumbfounded.
Crazy?
It's not like we haven't been there before, and their ambitions were even greater back then: to capture Korea! Using Korea as a springboard to advance, it would be best if they could swallow up the entire Shenzhou.
Unfortunately, ideals are full of hope, but reality is very sloppy!
They did occupy Goryeo for a time, but the Qi Dynasty sent troops directly and almost drove them out to sea.
even though……
In the end, the princes hurried back to withdraw their troops because the previous general died and the current general seized power. In fact, they were not driven away by the Great Qi.
However, these people were still nervous about the people of Da Qi, who were tall and strong, and a general could be unmatched in their army.
By the way, the people of East Japan at that time were severely malnourished! White rice was only eaten by the nobles, while the common people had a little brown rice, a dish of pickles, and a dish of salted fish during festivals. This was the life during the New Year.
With this kind of life, it would be strange if they could grow tall!
In response to some doubts, the person who raised the idea explained, "Da Qi is now facing external and internal troubles. The barbarians have invaded them, and they have simply watched Goryeo perish. If we send troops to plunder at this time, we will definitely reap a lot."
"But... even though Great Qi was so powerful, it was still defeated by the barbarians! Goryeo must have become their vassal. If we go and plunder..."
In other words, they were worried that after looting Goryeo, they would provoke barbarians who were more powerful than the Great Qi.
The think tank who immediately proposed the looting gave them a reassurance, "First, we can say that this was done by the Japanese pirates in secret, and it has nothing to do with us officially. Second, whether the warriors below died in battle or we get a commission from the looting, it will be a huge benefit to us. Third, even if the situation really gets so bad that the barbarians want to go to war with us, hey... hey... as far as I know, the barbarians are a nomadic people, they don't even have a sailboat!"
The last sentence is the most important!
Sodersler!
The people of Qi were busy fighting the barbarians and certainly couldn't take care of them.
The barbarians had no navy, so when they were robbed they could only point at the sea and curse.
Isn’t this the case of “while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits”?
"Hahahaha... What a great idea! What a great idea!"
"And in this way, both sides will have no choice but to swallow their anger. They won't dare to offend us. Aren't they afraid that we will help the other side fight them?"
"Hahaha... Great! Spread the news immediately! There are countless riches and beauties in the lands of Shenzhou and Goryeo! I believe those unemployed warriors under our command will definitely flock to these lands!"
"Suoga! Suoga!"
In this way, under the secret promotion of the Matsuura clan, according to the history of another time and space, this time and space should have embarked on the path of "Japanese pirates invading".
But who could have thought that the shameless Eastern Japanese would meet the even more shameless Li Jize!
It's better for you to rob me than for me to rob you!
It's better to have a war on your territory than on mine, right?
For the people of China, if they knew about Li Jize's actions, they would have to build a shrine for him! They strangled a war and turmoil from overseas in the cradle.
but……
For the people of East Wo, they did not participate in the war, but now they are in trouble for no reason.
But what's the problem?
Whether it was the impending Japanese pirates or the bad things they did in later generations, Li Jize would not have the slightest sympathy at all.
He doesn't even let go of the common people of the barbarians, so how can he let go of you, a commoner of the Eastern Japanese?
It is a miracle that the Virgin Mary is still alive in this era!
As I said before, in this era where "human life is worthless", you can either endure and serve others like cattle and horses, or be cruel and become an executioner or a robber.
If you rob for yourself, you are a robber. If you plunder the survival resources for your entire nation, you are a hero!
Well, the Japanese pirates and the Qi pirates are here! What kind of postures...ah, moves do you have?
