Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Chapter 501 Raising Tigers as a Trouble, Sending Troops to Baijiangkou

This person's name is Soga Ezo, and he is the first minister under the emperor. His control over the country is even worse than that of Goguryeo's Gaisuwen.

It can be said that today's emperor Shu Ming can sit on the throne largely because of Suga Ezo's ideas.

In the beginning, Soga Ezo and Bianji were actually a cooperative relationship.

Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there have been constant wars on the mainland, and a large number of immigrants come to the island every year.

On the one hand, these immigrants integrated into the island society, but on the other hand, they also made the rulers of the Japanese slave country see many unstable factors.

In order to appease these mainlanders, the Suwo family, the actual controllers of the Wanu Kingdom, have been working hard.

And Bianji's self-recommendation made Suga Eizo see another possibility, and happily established a cooperative relationship.

Bianji helped Suga Eizo stabilize the lower class people and ensure his rule, while Soga Aizo facilitated Bianji's preaching.

Under Bianji's series of operations, these immigrants from the mainland quickly accepted this young monk from his hometown and his Buddhist teachings, and became the first group of believers of Yixiangzong.

Since most of these mainland immigrants possessed certain skills and their status in the Japanese slave country was not low, the Yixiang sect was quickly promoted.

In order to allow more people to believe in Yixiangzong, Bianji greatly simplified the principles of Buddhism.

He claims that he does not need to understand Buddhist scriptures and participate in complicated temple ceremonies, but only needs to join the Ichigo sect and recite the slogan "Amitabha Buddha" from time to time, and he can go to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss after death.

In recent years, the country has been in turmoil as the former power holder Otomo lost political power and was replaced by Monobe and Soga.From the ministers to the civilians, they all hope to be relieved through religion.

And Xiangzong's simple method was immediately accepted by the public.

Seeing that the method was feasible, Bian Ji simply increased the intensity of reform, and he began to promote the extreme theory that if you have a Buddha in your heart, you can become a Buddha.

He resolutely abolished all the rules and regulations, and believers can achieve righteous results without even becoming a monk.

After having a certain base of believers, Bianji began to develop his own power.

He began to hold large-scale pujas, seemingly for the purpose of purifying evil, but in fact they were planning for his next step.

Through the Dharma conference, Bianji saved a large number of wicked people, thus absorbing a large number of soldiers, warriors, and thieves to believe in religion.

In addition to providing armed protection for Yi Xiangzong, these villains also brought a large amount of donations.

Relying on these donations, Bianji helped civilians and trained the army, and the snowball got bigger and bigger.

The powerful speed of the debate greatly surpassed Suga Ezo's imagination, and now Yixiangzong's influence has completely surpassed him.

For this reason, Suga Ezo was furious.

This time, after hearing that Bian Ji had entered the palace, Su Wo Eizo also followed in immediately.

Hearing Su Wo Eizo's reprimand, Bian Ji slowly raised his head, and said seriously: "Minister Su Wo, I am conveying the voice of the people to His Majesty, how can you interrupt me casually?"

"I always have a large number of believers in Silla and Baekje, and they are being threatened by the Tang army."

"I can't see my believers suffer. Even if His Majesty the Emperor does not allow sending troops, I will always send troops to the Korean peninsula."

"I just don't know how the common people will view His Majesty the Emperor and the cold-blooded Minister Suga at that time."

At this moment, Bianji's words reached Suga Ezo's ears, which was a naked threat.

He suddenly said angrily: "Bian Ji, you are so brave, you dare to threaten me!"

"Okay, if you have the ability, you can take someone with you, I won't stop you!"

"Leave and don't come back!"

Bian Ji was not angry when he heard this, he sneered and left the palace.

Watching Bian Ji leave, Su Wo Eizo also began to curse: "This Tang Dynasty monk is really getting bolder."

"Don't think that just a few believers can ignore me."

"Be careful to offend me, and set fire to your Honganji Temple."

That night, the house of Suga Aizu, the minister of the Japanese Nu Kingdom, caught fire, and more than a hundred people, including Suga Aizu, survived.

Three days later, Emperor Shuming held a grand funeral for the Suga family, and then announced that he would secretly send troops to Silla and Baekje to fight against the Tang army at sea.

One month later, at the estuary of the Baekje Baekje River, the Laizhou Navy of the Datang Dynasty encountered the Japanese Navy from across the sea.

Looking at the endless warships on the opposite side, Li You asked coldly: "Liu Rengui, there are no less than a thousand warships on the other side, are you confident?"

Liu Rengui glanced at it with disdain, and then said firmly: "Return to the lord, the Tang Dynasty will win this battle!"

At this time, there are more than a thousand warships from the Wonu Kingdom on the opposite side, and hundreds of Baekje warships are accompanying them. In terms of numbers, it is an overwhelming victory.

And for this battle, the commander of the Japanese slave country has actually planned for a long time.

He knew that the advantage of his side was the large number. If he fought in the inland river, his formation could not be fully spread out, and the advantage of numbers would not be displayed.

For this reason, he deliberately used the Baekje Navy as a bait to lure the Datang Navy to fight at sea.

Today, most of the Tang Navy is at the mouth of the Baijiang River, and a small part is still in the inland rivers. From the perspective of the generals of the Japanese slave army, the Tang army is completely in a dilemma.

However, Tang Jun didn't see it that way at all.

Aside from Li You, the instigator, even in the eyes of Liu Rengui, the naval ships of the Wonu Kingdom are nothing more than slightly larger ants.

But the Datang Navy is an out-and-out scourge.

Although many ants killed elephants, Liu Rengui didn't show any fear.

His navy has just received a supply of pills from Qizhou, and now is the time when they have sufficient firepower and are ready to flex their muscles.

Taking out the binoculars, he carefully calculated the distance. In Liu Rengui's mind, since the fleets of Baekje and Wanuguo dared to appear here, they must be allowed to walk neatly, and none of them should be missing!
Seeing that the Tang navy did not move, the general of the Wonu Kingdom thought that he was frightened by his huge fleet, and immediately gave the order to charge in a brazen manner.

And the ship he was on also took the lead, rushing to the forefront of the fleet.

"Full the sail for me, paddle hard, I want to take King Qi's dog head and go back to claim the reward!"

However, not long after his ship protruded from the fleet, he felt a violent shaking.

"It's bad, we were hit by Tang Jun, and the bottom of the boat has already started to leak!"

Accompanied by the anxious shouts of his subordinates, a trace of regret flashed in the heart of the general of the Wonu Kingdom.

However, Tang Jun didn't give him time to regret it. When he looked at Tang Jun again, all he saw was a dense burst of fire and gunpowder smoke.

The next moment, he lost consciousness.
