Prince Beigong Bai also thought that this was not a place for conversation, because the people around him were all Japanese, so Prince Beigong Bai immediately put on airs again, and the timid look just now was gone. If a general of the Tang Dynasty appeared here, he would definitely not dare to straighten his back.
"General Fujii is really getting better and better at his job. Don't I know how to take them to where they should go?"
After Prince Beigong Bai got into the car, Watanabe said sarcastically that he had felt in the past few days that this former subordinate had been crossing his bottom line everywhere, and it was directly shown today. If this was the case, then he had to find a way to get rid of this guy.
"What are you talking about, Lord Watanabe? I am only working hard for you, Lord Watanabe, and I have no other thoughts. I have always been promoted by you, Lord Watanabe. I will remember this firmly in my heart. When I develop in the army in the future, I will never forget your kindness."
Of course, Fujii Jiro is not an idiot to be in his current position, so his words are both soft and hard. What he means is that I remember your kindness, but I will develop in the military in the future, and I am not in the same system as you, so I can't forget your kindness. You can't do too much. There must be a balance between us. If it is still the previous relationship between superiors and subordinates, some things may be difficult to handle.
After Fujii Jiro finished speaking, he quickly mounted his warhorse, leaving Watanabe standing there alone. He didn't look like he remembered your kindness at all. It was just a nice talk. Everyone can talk big, but there was no respect in his actual actions.
Watanabe sneered at his former subordinate. "You're just a warrior, and you're thinking about playing politics? Do you really think you have the ability to do that? Politics is not something you can control."
After arriving at the resettlement site, Prince Beigong Bai was quite satisfied with it. If Fukuoka had not been occupied by the Tang Dynasty, and the local officials arranged for him to live here, he would probably whip the local officials to death immediately with a horsewhip. Such a place is nothing more than a rich man's home. Do you think a prince like me should be allowed to live here?
But now he has no complaints. After all, this is no longer Fuso's territory, and the people in charge here are from the Tang Dynasty.
"Since we were once from the same country, you were forced to do this, but I also know that you are definitely on Fusang's side, so why don't we be frank and speak frankly about some things. What exactly does the Tang Dynasty want to achieve? You can tell me directly now. I know your families are under control, but this place is absolutely safe. It should be okay to say a few words, right?"
Prince Beigong Bai was not a simple man either. After these people sat down, he began to play the emotional card. They also wanted to infiltrate the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately they had lost contact with the people in the Tang Dynasty. Before every war, the Tang Dynasty would control these foreigners to prevent the news from leaking out, so they could only get information from the few people in front of them.
The reason why Ding Tu sent these two people here was because he knew that the relationship between the two people was not very good. If he sent one person alone, there would be a lack of mutual supervision. Now that these two people have been sent here, you can supervise each other, and then the interests of our Tang Dynasty will not be harmed.
"Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty is not hiding anything. When they discussed matters with some of us, they already said that they want the entire Kyushu Island."
When Watanabe told this news, Fujii Jiro frowned, because he didn't know this at all. After all, this guy was a military man, and Ding Tu was very good at creating conflicts between them, so he typed this word in unnaturally. Of course, how you two will react is your own business. All we have to do is to make you not get along.
Of course, doing so would cause a certain amount of internal friction, but after repeated consideration, Li Xiang still felt that this internal friction should not only exist between Goguryeo and Fuso, but even the officials within Fuso must have internal friction. If they cooperated well with each other, then these people would definitely start to deceive their superiors and hide the truth from their subordinates.
This certainly wouldn't happen in the short term, but it would be hard to say over time. People have all sorts of lazy habits. Right now, because the blood is still on the Tang army's sword, they naturally don't dare to have other ideas. But when the Tang army retreats, these people will inevitably have all sorts of ideas. How will the interests of the Tang Dynasty be protected then? So we have to let them fight now.
Kyushu Island?
After hearing this request, Prince Beigong Bai felt relieved. According to his original idea, would the Tang Dynasty occupy the entire Fuso?
If the entire Fuso is to be occupied, it will not be a matter of just a small island. In the eyes of the upper class in Fuso, Kyushu Island is just a remote area. Although the maritime trade here is developed, the daimyo here are not easy to control, as they usually do things according to their own preferences.
Take the tribute system of Fuso for example. Some people on Honshu Island would go to see the emperor honestly. No matter how powerful they were, they would not do anything excessive. But people in Kyushu and Shikoku were different. These people would rely on their own strength to bully the royal family.
"This is really too much. They want so many disciples from us right away. We in Fusang are different from the Tang Dynasty. We don't have that much land. If we show weakness this time, there will be more demands in the future."
Lord Suzuki said very angrily that of course this guy was pretending to be angry. While speaking, he looked at the face of His Royal Highness the Prince next to him, wanting to see from His Royal Highness the Prince's face what the court was thinking. Because this guy was running away, he didn't know the emperor's fundamental thoughts, but Prince Beigong Bai came from Kyoto, he should know the emperor's true thoughts.
After hearing what Lord Suzuki said, Prince Beigong Bai frowned. He had never heard that this guy was a pro-war faction. Hadn't they said he was a pro-peace faction before? Could it be that he had changed his allegiance after running away from Fukuoka once?
