The elder brother looked at it for a long time, and finally looked at it, nodding frequently: "Well, it's time for me to take Liu Qiu into my pocket. The unfinished career of the previous dynasty should be completed by my elder brother." The elder brother has learned a lot now and speaks very openly.

"There's also here." My fingers fell heavily on the island chain above Liuqiu. "Here?" The elder brother was a little stunned, narrowed his eyes, sat upright, took a sip of wine and said angrily to me. "Second brother, why did you, Xiaojiu, come to my elder brother today?"

"Brother, why are you doing this? Look at what you said, these information were all obtained for you by me. You are so good, and you still say sarcastic words after reading it." I rolled my eyes to my elder brother, angrily snatched the bottle of wine, filled it with myself first, and then filled it with my elder brother.

"Hmph! Don't think you have those bad ideas. My brother doesn't know anything. My brother is eleven years apart from you. He is a young man. What do you want to do? How can I not see something strange about me? Don't roll your eyes. You will also be careless if you turn it. To be honest, besides developing Liuqiu, in order for my Tang Dynasty to obtain the rich resources of Luzon through Liuqiu, what are your plans?" My brother squeezed his eyes proudly, and pointed his fingers to the northeast of Liuqiu Island, the land called Japan.

"Hehe, brother, have you seen it too?" I agreed directly. Brother is not an outsider. He will admit it, and he will accept it. Anyway, he will not lose a piece of meat. Besides, I have always been unable to see that country, and this brother knows it too. Besides, although brother is cautious in people, if I really look at knowledge and look at problems, I am really not a match for my elder brother.

The eldest brother smiled faintly: "Nonsense, I can't tell you what I'm asking you for? You have never had any good feelings for Japan. I have talked to you several times. Don't let Japan learn the knowledge and technology of the Tang Dynasty, so as not to let others take advantage of us at that time. Now you let my eldest brother develop the same thing. Well, the country and the people are all out of public interest. My eldest brother is naturally speechless, but you have the idea of ​​these small islands. This is really impossible for you to help you. After all, my elder brother was just an observer of Jiangnan Road in the Tang Dynasty. Liuqiu Dadao. Since the previous dynasty had already left the people to move, my elder brother also found out when he was looking for information in the Ministry of Revenue. There were about 100,000 people in Liuqiu. The people of the previous dynasty were also my people of the Tang Dynasty. After taking them under the rule, no one could say anything. But at this time, Japan was obedient to my Tang Dynasty. You want to attack the land of Japan. You are not afraid of causing trouble in the court. If you don’t say anything else, you can’t get through the old man’s hurdle.”

"Brother. Actually, I am not taking these islands because of personal grudges, but for my Tang Dynasty's country." I said with a firm response. I clicked on a long chain of islands between Dian Liuqiu and Japan: "I call this area the Liuqiu Islands, which can be detected by the intelligence personnel of the Tang Dynasty Jinzou Academy. It took nearly two years and lost no less than dozens of people. It is only possible to make up that there are a large number of military supplies from our Tang Dynasty here. I have also reported to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will make a decision within a few days."

"Military supplies?" The elder brother blinked for a long time: "Second brother isn't he kidding with the elder brother, right?"

"Brother, I have no joke. On this island, there is not only the sulfur that I urgently need for gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty, but also saltpeter. If I don't take it from the Tang Dynasty, can I still leave it to the wolf-like and ambitious people?" My fingers fell heavily on the map of Japan.

According to the information, the current Japanese regime is still not stable. Silla occupied Luodongjiang and annexed Renna, which is Japan's stronghold on the Korean Peninsula. Now, the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated rapidly. At present, the Japanese surname and the national system have been deteriorated. The powerful forces represented by Suwo clans are too big and the royal family is weak.

Influenced by the idea of ​​unifying the kings of China, Prince Shengto tried to establish a centralized system centered on the emperor and save the social crisis, and implemented a series of reforms to this end. Although Prince Shengto tried to establish a centralized system centered on the emperor and save the social crisis, he implemented a series of reforms and sent envoys to the Sui and Tang Dynasties to learn the Chinese system. Later, he implemented a new policy, formulated the twelve levels of the crown, promulgated 17 articles of the law, adopted the calendar, compiled national history, used the name of the emperor, and promoted Buddhism.

"I want to ask my brother, what do you think of Japan?" I cleared my throat and asked my brother, because I hope it can affect my brother's attitude towards foreign affairs. In this way, I can join forces with my brother and take advantage of my brother's opportunity to serve as an observer in Jiangnan Road to firmly control the Liuqiu and Liuqiu Islands in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Liuqiu can reach the South Asian islands such as Luzon, and the north can connect Liuqiu Islands. If the Japanese have any abnormal movements, the Korean Peninsula in the north is already behind my Tang Dynasty's pocket, and the Liuqiu Islands in the south are joining me again, then my Tang Dynasty will have two springboards. What else can Japan do to make a fuss?

"Wa?" The eldest brother also looked serious: "I don't know much, but from the previous dynasty to the present, the Japanese have sent more than ten groups of envoys to send Sui and Tang to our China to study. From culture to technology and even religion, they want to learn almost everything. This desire for knowledge makes Brother Wei feel a little nervous."

"Brother should also know that from the Han Dynasty to the previous dynasty, my coastal areas along China were very troubled." I took a sip of wine and sighed softly. Although the Tang people are open and can accept new things, they lack a kind of vigilance, a kind of vigilance to examine the surrounding international environment with an equal attitude.

"Of course this brother knows that it must be that the Japanese people were severely frustrated, so I admired them, so I sent an envoy to admire my Central Plains culture since I sent an envoy." The elder brother said a little proudly.

I shook my head, "Brother, do you know that during the previous dynasty, there was a female king of the Japanese, Fengyushi Cook House Girl, also known as Tuigu. Do you know what she did?" I raised my eyelids and swept my elder brother and asked.

"Female? This big brother doesn't know."

"Do you know that in the third year of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, Tuigu sent an envoy to the court. She asked to establish an equal foreign relations with China. Is this the younger brother found the local information in the palace, and I wonder if my elder brother knew?" I said slowly. This was when I made preliminary preparations for the future conquest and supplemented a lot of knowledge before I learned the news.

Emperor Yang of Sui angrily rebuked the mission, and later sent envoys to apologize, and began to send envoys to the former dynasty to send envoys to the Sui Dynasty, continuing to plagiarize and copy our Sino-Chinese culture.

"Is there such a thing?" The elder brother couldn't help but be stunned and frowned: "A mere small country is so arrogant? It's ridiculous!"

"It's just ridiculous? Well, my good brother, I'll tell you another news. Do you know, why is the king of Japan now called his people?" I leaned into my elder brother's ear and whispered. It seems that I have to use a killer move. This is an information about Japan that we have received recently.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Bang!... The elder brother's face was ashen, his eyebrows were all frowned, and he slapped the table heavily on the table, and the wine was spilled out. I was so scared that I looked at the elder brother blankly. Unexpectedly, the elder brother was not ordinary when he got angry, very murderous and majestic. I had never noticed it before. It turned out that the elder brother was not a kind person.

"A small country with only one million people and only one hundred thousand soldiers. How dare you call the emperor a false name?! It's hateful, annoying!" The elder brother shouted in a deep voice in anger, calmed down a little, then said to me with a look of expression: "Second brother, why don't he tell my father to tell me if he doesn't repay you to you?!"

"I will know this news tonight." I lied. I received the news three days ago. Now, I am preparing information. After all the evidence is collected, I will immediately report to Uncle Li, the majesty emperor who cannot tolerate others provoking him. Because Japan is also the surrounding international environment of the Tang Dynasty, a nail that must be pulled out, removed, and smoothed is 100% certain.

"Brother, don't be angry. Now, the military power of our Tang Dynasty is in the reserve period. In addition, Linyi is now using troops, the six tribes of Nanzhao have not yet been resolved, and Tubo is still trying to trap beasts and fight, while Baekje Silla is being slammed, and the land of Liaodong is not willing to be careless. Now, most of the navy of our Tang Dynasty is coastal and has little experience in cross-sea combat. Therefore, in addition, the Tang Dynasty has not yet started this peninsula, and I have not succeeded in the Tang Dynasty, and I have not directly threatened the Japanese. Since my brother knows it, I have only learned this to you. Japan is so arrogant. Why is it that I learned the advanced culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty? It is to better arm themselves. In the future, I will be a disaster for my Tang Dynasty!"

The eldest brother nodded: "I understand, brother, you can make your own decisions about this matter, but don't worry, as long as the eldest brother is in Jiangnan for one day, he will definitely hold Liuqiu and Liuqiu Islands in the hands of my Tang Dynasty."

"Brother is the heart of being a country, and I must be a role model." I stood up, and after I put on the grooming, I bowed my brother very much, and expressed my deep gratitude from the bottom of my heart for the support behind my brother. The ancients said it well: Brothers are united and they are both good at breaking gold, and they are sincere and do not deceive me.
