Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 409 Borrowing the navy and passing through Japan

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these ten days, neither the eldest prince nor the second prince had any news.

However, during these ten days, the old king passed away suddenly after Gao Tianzhi got married, which shocked the whole country.

But these have nothing to do with Fang Yuan, as soon as the ten days are up, Fang Yuan is ready to leave.

Fortunately, during these ten days, Lu Tingmei was successfully pregnant.

"Lord Fang, I and the Queen welcome you to Goguryeo at any time."

Gao Tianzhi and Lu Tingmei personally sent Fang Yuan away from the palace.

"No need to send it off, I'll just go with them."

Fang Yuan waved his hand.

This trip Fang Yuan not only brought Gao Tianzhi's younger sister, but also the admiral of the navy.

The former was given to Fang Yuan by Gao Tianzhi, but Fang Yuan has not moved for the past few days, trying his best to conceive Lu Tingmei.

As for the admiral, it was used to mobilize Goguryeo's navy, probably Gao Tianzhi's move to monitor Fang Yuan.

But Fang Yuan didn't care, let him arrange.

"goodbye!"

Gao Tianzhi nodded heavily.

Watching Fang Yuan and others leave.

When they came, Fang Yuan and others left secretly.

When I left, I was traveling in the king's car, and the style was very high.

"Fang Yuan, why did we go to sea this time?"

Qin Huaiyu and Fang Yuan were driving in the same car.

Besides the two, Gao Tianzhi's younger sister Gao Xiangyu was also there.

"Find a place to hide in the future."

"Huaiyu, this is a private matter, you can go back to Chang'an first."

Fang Yuan thought for a while, and said calmly.

This matter is confidential, currently only Fang Yuan knows.

But since Qin Huaiyu was ahead of schedule, after thinking about it, he didn't continue to hide it.

These days in Goguryeo, thanks to Qin Huaiyu, Fang Yuan was so smooth.

The relationship between Qin Huaiyu and Qin Huaiyu is trustworthy, and I am not afraid that he will know this in advance.

"what?"

"You're only in your thirties, so you want to live in seclusion?!"

Qin Huaiyu was shocked, and looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.

If you are less than [-] years old, you are already the Minister of the Household Department, and it is not a problem that the power will be in the hands of the government and the public in the future.

Now, looking for a place to live in seclusion?
Gao Xiangyu on the side also looked at Fang Yuan in amazement.

She knew Fang Yuan's power and agreed to Gao Tianzhi's intention to serve Fang Yuan.

Thinking of living in seclusion now?

isn't it?
"I am very strong now, not only in terms of financial resources but also force, and I am about to surpass Your Majesty."

"It doesn't make much sense to go further in the officialdom. On the contrary, it is now hostile to many people. It is not impossible to enjoy life earlier."

Fang Yuan laughed.

The progress in these few years has been too fast, making Fang Yuan feel a little melancholy.

Coupled with the fact that the life of intrigue is getting a little tired, Fang Yuan has some thoughts about changing places.

It is not impossible to use this opportunity to find some places in advance.

Whether or not she will really live in seclusion in the future will be discussed in the future.

Just planning a way out.

"It's true what you said."

"It just doesn't feel real to me."

Qin Huaiyu couldn't understand Fang Yuan's feelings.

But it is true that Fang Yuan has already surpassed the imperial court in terms of force.

There is also financial resources, and it is estimated that they will soon surpass the imperial court.

It is not necessarily a good thing for a person's power to surpass the imperial court, after all Fang Yuan is not a family.

If it's a family, it's okay, it's intricate and complicated, and the court doesn't dare to go too far, it's like five surnames and seven wangs.

But Fang Yuan only has one person!

In addition to Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing's mother's family, they are just two families.

And Fang Yuan probably didn't want to have a family like Wu Xing Qi Wang over the court, otherwise he wouldn't drive them away.

"True or false, it's hard to say clearly."

"Are you going back to Chang'an first, or go out to sea with me?"

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

"Let's go to sea with you to see."

Qin Huaiyu said in a deep voice.

Just repair the book and go back to Chang'an to keep it safe.

Not long after, Fang Yuan brought the Fire Gun Army to the east seaside.

This is Fang Yuan's fiefdom, there is only one master here, and that is Fang Yuan.

But the imperial decree has not been announced yet, so the people here don't know the situation yet.

At this time, there are already hundreds of ships waiting at the port, about tens of thousands of Goguryeo navy are waiting for Fang Yuan's call.

"General, follow this indicator."

Fang Yuan threw a small item to the Admiral.

"What is this?"

The admiral was surprised and looked at the small thing in his hand.

The small thing is covered with a layer of transparent things, which are marked with characters such as southeast, northwest, and a rotating selection needle.

"compass!"

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

The research institute has already developed the compass.

It's just that it hasn't been released, and Fang Yuan didn't use it until now.

"This, is this Sinan from Datang?!"

The admiral said suddenly excitedly.

He changed his bearings, and the compass in his hand turned accordingly.

He heard that Datang has a magical thing called Si Nan, which can test the direction.

Ships with Sinans are generally not lost in the sea, but there are too many Sinans and it is not easy to use at sea, so it has not been popularized.

Seeing such a small thing now, the admiral was very excited.

If it's really Sinan, he won't have to worry about getting lost when he rides across the ocean in the future!

Fang Yuan didn't speak, and slowly boarded the boat.

And Qin Huaiyu and Gao Xiangyu leaned over, looking at the compass curiously.

Seeing the change of the pointer on the compass, several people's eyes lit up, and they were greatly surprised.

After the excitement, several people followed Fang Yuan to board the boat.

With the help of the compass, hundreds of ships followed Fang Yuan's direction.

"Master Fang, I heard that your research institute is full of wonders, but you choose to live in seclusion, isn't it a pity?"

Gao Xiangyu arranged for Fang Yuan, said softly.

Presumably that compass was also researched from the research institute.

Such a miraculous thing can completely change the world, why would you want to live in seclusion?
And there are terrible weapons such as firecrackers and guns, which can completely conquer the whole family.

What a terrible prestige it must be to have the whole world prostrate at its feet!
If I can follow such a man, I will be excited just thinking about it.

But Gao Xiangyu also couldn't figure it out, that is why Fang Yuan didn't touch her?

"Everyone has their own aspirations!"

Fang Yuan didn't explain too much, he said calmly.

In the next seven days, hundreds of ships finally saw an island.

This island doesn't look big from a distance, but when you get closer, you realize that the coast alone is huge.

Moreover, it is lush and lush, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there are even a few high mountains that can be seen.

"The whole army is dispatched to check whether there are people living on the island? Roughly measure how big the island is."

Fang Yuan ordered.

Order Goguryeo's [-] navy to start working.

As for the Fire Gun Army, they opened up a place to live in front of the beach.

In the past few days, I will set up camp here to investigate the situation of these islands.

On this trip, there are thousands of horses on board.

Another seven days later, the admiral and others came back one after another.

"My lord, I have ridden around the island for seven days. This is a very big island!"

"My lord, we didn't see anyone on the island, but we vaguely saw animals that looked like humans and monkeys moving quickly in the mountains and forests. They were faster and couldn't be seen clearly."

"My lord, there are many terrifying animals on the island, including lions, tigers, elephants, etc. We have only walked less than half of the distance and it is difficult to pass because it is blocked by the swamp."

"My lord, there is a lot of fresh water on the island, as well as a lot of lakes and so on."

Fang Yuan kept reporting back, and Fang Yuan became more and more satisfied.

But when Qin Huaiyu and Gao Xiangyu listened, they felt that something was wrong.

Need to find such a big island to live in seclusion?

This is to build a country, right? !
"Mark this place, let's go."

Fang Yuan also walked around the island these days.

The environment here is very good, and the location should be good too.

I don't know the exact size, but it's definitely not a small place, and it's worth developing.

After the admiral marked this place according to Fang Yuan's intention, he returned to the ship.

Before going back, Fang Yuan deliberately asked the fleet to go around the island to observe the situation of the island.

From the outside, it looks like a really nice place.

"From now on, this place will be called New Hope!"

Fang Yuan stood on the bow and sighed.

"Fang Yuan, did you choose this place to live in seclusion, or to build a nation?"

Qin Huaiyu asked curiously.

It is entirely possible to establish a nation on such a large island.

Gao Xiangyu also looked at Fang Yuan curiously.

"There is no one inhabited here, what am I doing in Jianguo?"

Fang Yuan didn't look back, he looked at New Hope and said.

This seems to be the same.

Qin Huaiyu thought about it and felt that it was the same.

Next, Fang Yuan continued to check and found several islands, but none were as good as New Hope.

In the end, Fang Yuan felt that a lot of time had passed, so he didn't continue to search, and changed his way to Dongying Island.

Not long after, Fang Yuan came to Dongying Port, and signaled in the direction of Dongying Port.

After getting permission, hundreds of Fang Yuan's ships entered Dongpu.

"Fang Shangshu, we meet again!"

Duan Changsun smiled and greeted Fang Yuan.

A few days ago, he went to Goguryeo under Fang Yuan's sign.

After disrupting Goguryeo with Fang Yuan, he returned to Japan again.

Before, they cooperated with Dongpu, Silla and Baekje to start a war, but Fang Yuan told him not to make a move after returning.

It would not be too late to wait until the bloody battle between the two sides for a period of time.

During this period of time, because Duan's grandson was here, Dongpu did not lose many troops.

This is not in line with what Fang Yuan and other high-level officials in Tang Dynasty thought at the beginning, so they can't continue to fight.

So Duan Changsun has been resting here, it can be regarded as waiting for Fang Yuan.

"Yes, General, we meet again."

"How is the situation in Dongpu?"

Fang Yuan asked with a smile.

"They're at war with Silla Baekje, and things don't seem to be going well."

"Their emperor sent people to invite us to go almost every day. He said all kinds of good things, but he didn't see many real benefits."

Duan Changsun said with a cold snort.

Treat their Datang firearms army as free force.

They thought well, but they didn't see if they and others would listen to him.

"The general is wise!"

Fang Yuan gave a thumbs up to Duan Changsun.

Immediately camped in the shadow of Dongying Port.

Soon, the news of Fang Yuan's arrival in Japan spread.

More than ten days ago, the news about Fang Yuan's stay in Goguryeo had already spread to Dongying.

The senior management of Dongpu already knew about the coup d'état between Fang Yuan and Gao Tianzhi.

I also know that Fang Yuan borrowed Goguryeo's ten thousand sailors to leave, but I don't know what it is.

Now, Fang Yuan actually appeared in Dongpu, and he also brought ten thousand sailors and new weapons with terrifying force.

This is not a good thing for Dongpu. The senior management of Dongpu immediately held a meeting to discuss how to deal with Fang Yuan.

For a person who changed the political situation in Goguryeo almost by himself, this person is terrible, and the empire has to face him squarely.

In fact, not only Dongpu, but neighboring countries Silla and Baekje also knew that Fang Yuan had arrived in Dongpu.

For a while, the two countries that were suffering from the flames of war also held a meeting, thinking about how to deal with Fang Yuan.

"If you find Fang Yuan, you must try to find Fang Yuan!"

"No matter what conditions are offered, Fang Yuan must support us, no matter how bad it is, Fang Yuan must stop supporting Dongpu!"

This is the voice of the two countries of Silla and Baekje.

Because of Tang Jun's support, they are not Dongpu's opponents.

The firecrackers that people bought from Datang were almost useless, and they would break as soon as they were used.

But they didn't dare to say anything wrong with Datang, so they could only endure silently, cursing Datang secretly.

But now that Fang Yuan appeared, they could only lick Fang Yuan obediently, hoping that Fang Yuan would not intervene, and even support them.

Dongying port.

Fang Yuan, Duan Changsun, Qin Huaiyu and others gathered here.

These days Fang Yuan and others are a little tired from taking the boat, so they just rest here and don't go to the city.

Although the city by the sea has been invited many times, Fang Yuan and others just don't enter the city.

That night, Duan Changsun received information that intelligence agents from Silla and Baekje were coming here.

"Fang Shangshu, you are a celebrity now!"

"The envoys from Silla and Baekje all want to see you, and I heard that they will offer sky-high prices to persuade you."

Duan Changsun laughed.

There was some jealousy in his eyes.

One person made the three countries kneel and lick, Fang Yuan was the only one in Datang.

No, to be precise, it is four countries.

"So Japan will also offer high prices?"

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

It's not too early to start without profit. Since they want to help themselves, they will offer benefits.

In Goguryeo, when Fang Yuan left, he also took a lot of Goguryeo's wealth, not leaving empty-handed.

"should be."

"Emperor Dongying should come here in person."

Duan Changsun said in a deep voice.

Silla and Baekje both wanted Fang Yuan to help them.

An old fox like Emperor Dongying should come here in person to show his sincerity.

"Hehe, General, how many casualties did we have this time?"

Fang Yuan smiled, then said seriously.

He remembered that Li Shimin sent troops to Dongying to support eight thousand.

But this time Duan Changsun's support was five thousand and five, which was much different from eight thousand.

"There is no complete statistics, about five or six hundred."

Duan Changsun took a deep breath and said heavily.

This time the death was so tall, it was almost because of being a pioneer.

Those guys in Dongying were very smart, saying that their guns were bad, and asked Duan Changsun to be a pioneer.

And the decision itself was made by Tang Jun as the vanguard, so he lost so much.

As for only supporting Fang Yuan's [-] troops, some of them are still in Japan.

At that time, Dongying learned that Duan Changsun had something to leave, and the two sides almost fought.

"Statistics, let Dongying compensate first!"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly, said in a deep voice.
