"Your Highness..."
Just as Princess Yongping was watching all this with great interest, a man dressed in eunuch's clothes came over. Princess Yongping had some impression that he seemed to be the servant of her sister.
This person first explained his identity, and it turned out that he was indeed the eunuch working for his sister. It turned out that Li Xiang and Yongning had already set off for the capital of Fuso. After all, all the problems had been resolved, and there was no need for Li Xiang to stay in a small place like Nagasaki.
When Princess Yongping was in the country, she had no idea about the situation here. Although there were various ways of communication, there would still be some delays. Now Princess Yongping had two choices, either to stay here and wait, or to arrange for tomorrow's ship to go to the capital of Fuso.
After hearing this, Princess Yongping finally understood why her sister was not waiting at the dock, and she felt a little relieved. She came here to seek refuge with her sister. If the relationship between the two sisters had faded, why would Princess Yongping travel thousands of miles to Fuso?
"Then please arrange a boat for me to Fuso's capital tomorrow. I don't have any other relatives here. Although the scenery here is new, I still want to see my sister as soon as possible."
Princess Yongping didn't even think about it. No matter how new the things here were, they were of no use to her. Everything was like flowers in the water and the moon in the mirror. The most important thing was to get to her sister as soon as possible.
"Then please temporarily accommodate yourself in the infirmary, Princess. There will be a boat to Fusang's capital tomorrow morning. I will go down and make the arrangements right away."
It was really hard for a person's body to adapt to getting off the boat and getting on again. However, Princess Yongping wanted to get to Li Xiang as soon as possible, so it didn't matter. Although some of her subordinates wanted to rest here for two days, seeing the arrangement made by Her Royal Highness the Princess, they had no choice but to continue to follow. After all, for people like them, in such an unfamiliar environment, they must follow their master well.
Moreover, from the time they got off the ship until now, they always felt that Nagasaki Port was not very safe. There was some hatred in the eyes of the Japanese. If they did not follow their master well, they might be harmed by them if they were alone here.
When they walked out of the port, they saw many dead bodies hanging on both sides. These people were the ones who had recently rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty emphasizes benevolence and righteousness at home and punishment abroad. If there is anything wrong, then this is an example for people like you. They followed Princess Yongping from Nanzhao to Chang'an. All they saw along the way was the friendliness of the Tang Dynasty, but in Nagasaki Port, they saw a different Tang Dynasty.
For some people present, they could not accept the situation here, but Princess Yongping could accept it. If they wanted to gain a foothold in a foreign country, it would be useless to adopt a conciliatory policy, and they had to use severe punishments.
"Princess, please rest assured. Our posthouse is built around the military camp. Even if those people want to cause trouble, they wouldn't dare to do so in the posthouse."
The young eunuch who came to greet them seemed to see Princess Yongping's worry, so he hurried to explain that the corpses around the port were deliberately arranged to remind those who came from the Tang Dynasty not to think that this is a gold mine where you can make a fortune. It also represents danger, so everyone should be vigilant.
There was no other way around it. Li Xiang didn't want to make things so bloody. The main reason was that the civilians coming from the Tang Dynasty had suffered too many casualties during this period. Since taking Nagasaki and Fukuoka, about 1,900 civilians had come here.
These people all dreamed of getting rich and changing everything for themselves and their families, but in just one month, more than seventy people lost their lives and more than thirty were injured.
This is enough to show that the local environment is extremely unsafe, so these people must be vigilant. However, the court has said it countless times, but some people still don't pay attention. So Li Xiang can only hang these corpses up and let the air here be filled with the smell of blood, to remind people from the Tang Dynasty not to let their guard down.
There are also various slogans on both sides of the road, and various temporary military camps on the road. All of this is to protect the interests of the Tang Dynasty here. In addition to the Tang Dynasty army, there are also some Fuso troops to ensure all of this. Of course, whether these Fuso troops are really sleeping here or just pretending to sleep here, it will take time to verify.
The environment of the post station is quite good. It used to be the home of a big businessman in Fuso, but it has now been requisitioned by the Tang Dynasty. It is said that the whole family died during the first unrest. They were the first group to support pirates, so they were also the first group to be executed by the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Yongping also understood that the rewards and dangers were proportional. Although those who came down from the ship to pan for gold could earn money that they did not have in the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time, their lives were always in danger.
"You all should pay attention. In addition to the guards assigned to us, someone else will also be on duty tonight."
Princess Yongping called over a dozen of her male servants, all of whom were strong and capable, to escort her from Nanzhao to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Fusang.
"Please rest assured, Princess. We have capable men under our command. We just asked their guards for a few weapons. If anyone comes to cause trouble, we won't let them get away with it."
These people were holding new steel knives in their hands. These were all standard weapons of the Tang Dynasty army. They were much sharper than the swords and guns outside. If they were not in Fuso, ordinary people would not be able to get them at all, but after arriving in Fuso, almost everyone had one.
Of course, when this weapon is given to you, you must pay an expensive insurance premium. The term "insurance premium" was also invented by Li Xiang. It is to make everyone pay attention to this weapon. If your weapon is obtained by the Fuso people, then their group combat effectiveness will gradually increase, and in the end they may be able to drive us out of this land.
After paying a heavy insurance premium, it is also a reminder to everyone present that your knife is backed by a large sum of money from the court. If you don’t take the knife back, the money may not be yours. This is also a disguised reminder of the importance of weapons.
