"This is your area of activity. You cannot leave here without our notice. If you are caught by our sailors, we cannot guarantee any consequences."
Ding Jiayong pointed to a small compartment in the cabin. This was where Lord Suzuki lived. He had to stay here since the voyage began. Except for two guards, he did not bring anyone up.
Seeing Ding Jiayong's rudeness, the two guards on either side were not very satisfied, but Lord Suzuki quickly grabbed his two guards and said, "You two are just here to show off. Do you really dare to attack others? Now that even the face of the country has been lost, what is the face of an individual?"
What's more, in this vast ocean, if we make the other party unhappy, they may throw us into the sea at any time.
"Major General, after arriving in our capital, it's inevitable that some ignorant fishermen will resist. Could you please give them another chance to eliminate the resistance?"
Lord Suzuki thought for a while and said that his living space didn’t matter, he just had to endure for a while. After arriving in the capital, there must be no conflict. There were also many fierce fishermen there. Once a conflict broke out between the two sides, the Tang people would open fire and the situation would be unstoppable.
Lord Suzuki knew very well about the power of the Tang Dynasty's artillery. Prince Beigong Bai might have only heard about it from others, but Lord Suzuki saw it with his own eyes. The two sides were not on the same level at all, and their ideas were not the same. Therefore, unless there was no conflict, Fuso would suffer if there was a conflict.
"In consideration of your filial piety, when we approach your capital, we will naturally arrange for you to go out and appease the people. However, if you are unable to appease them, or if those people are ungrateful, to protect the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, we reserve the right to open fire."
Ding Jiayong is young and energetic. After coming out of China, he has been the manager of a fleet. Therefore, he speaks very sharply and is much more cruel than his uncle. When facing these Japanese people, he is more contemptuous.
In his opinion, since these people dared to become pirates and rob the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty, they must be given a deep impression. At least a city should be destroyed to let the people of Fuso understand that they will die if they go to the Tang Dynasty again. In his opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's policy is still a bit soft.
Of course, this is not just his own idea. There are many young people like him in the Tang Dynasty Navy, and they are all very important in the positions of grassroots officers. Li Xiang also discovered this, but did not suppress their ideas. A country must have blood. Their ideas are very suitable for opening up the world in the future. Of course, they must be well guided, otherwise they will make enemies all over the world.
"That's natural..."
After Lord Suzuki finished speaking, he still wanted to continue to get close to the major general, but unfortunately the major general had already walked away. In Ding Jiayong's opinion, if it is not a necessary reason, you are not worthy to stand in front of me.
The twelve naval warships are all large warships, and each warship has more than forty cannons on both sides. If a real battle breaks out, the capital of Fuso will soon become a sea of fire. The capital of Fuso may fall in the same way as Fukuoka and Nagasaki fell.
Looking out through the crack in the door, the sailors on the ship were all very relaxed and had no intention of fighting. Lord Suzuki looked at his own nervousness and really didn't know what to say. It's good to have strength. If you have strength, you don't have to be afraid of anything. You just need to wait for things to happen.
From the perspective of us Fuso people, we would rather this voyage never arrive than let the whole of Fuso fall into chaos. However, for the Tang Dynasty sailors outside, they are destined to go there to promote national prestige, so the mentality of the two countries is completely different.
When on the boat, Lord Suzuki also felt that the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty was much more advanced than that of Fuso. He often traveled by boat in Fuso, but every time he almost got his internal organs shaken out. This was when there were not many winds and waves. If there were big winds and waves, he would have lost his life in the sea.
However, the Tang Dynasty ships did not have this feeling. Although the sea was calm now, the Fuso ships would still sway with the waves. The swaying of the Tang Dynasty ships was minimal. Just in this point, the gap in shipbuilding skills between the two countries was huge.
The more stable the warship is, the more accurate the shells it fires will be. Although Fuso does not have artillery now, Lord Suzuki is very clear about this principle. Think about it, some of Fuso's weapons are not even worthy of being given leather shoes by the Tang Dynasty.
They were sailing along the coast, so they encountered some Fuso fishing boats. In the eyes of the Tang Dynasty navy soldiers, these fishing boats were simply too small. Of course, they did not bully them. We are kind people by nature and will not do anything to bully others.
After sailing for a day and a half, there were more and more ships in the distance, and people below also came to report. Lord Suzuki wanted to go to the bow, mainly because this place was close to the capital of Fuso. There were more and more ships outside. If Lord Suzuki could get in touch with the other party, there would be no unnecessary conflicts between the two sides.
Of course, the most important thing is to protect the fishermen and merchants of Fuso. If a conflict occurs, even though they have a large number of people, they will not even have the strength to fight back in front of the Tang Dynasty navy, and they may be beaten into the sea at any time.
"Drag it out, and give him one of our iron trumpets."
Ding Jiayong was sleeping in his room. The weather was very hot at this time and he didn't want to be sunbathing on the deck. The soldiers below were also ready for battle. After all, this place was in the heart of Fuso. If they were surrounded by the surrounding fishing boats, it would be a very troublesome thing.
After getting Ding Jiayong's consent, Lord Suzuki and his men trotted to the bow of the ship. There were already more than a dozen ships in the distance, but compared with the warships under their feet, they were like ants.
The top leaders of Fuso all knew Chinese characters. The word "Tang" was written on all of these dozen large ships, so these people inferred that they were from the Tang Dynasty. Fuso often sent Tang historians to the Tang Dynasty, but they had never heard of the Tang Dynasty sending people. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty sent people?
