In the capital of Japan, Minister Su Imazi was meeting the visiting Baekje envoy for a private meeting. He listened to the envoys again to describe the evil deeds of Zhou's invasion of Tanluo and attacking Baekje. Although Su Imazi and other officials had heard of it once in the palace, he still wanted to listen again.

Su We and Mazi already knew the cause of the whole incident. It was that a few months ago, the fleet of Zhou Kingdom arrived in Hakata, Japan to conduct trade and returned with a full load. However, when he passed through the Tanluo Sea on his way back, he attacked the pirates.

It is said that several ships were lost, and the cargo and personnel on the ship sank to the bottom of the sea. Zhou Guo was furious about this, but before he could find out the real murderer behind the scenes, he directly sent troops to attack Danluo.

The Danluo Kingdom was a vassal state of Baekje, so Baekje naturally wanted to protect Tanluo. After learning that the Zhou Kingdom was about to launch an invasion, Baekje sent troops to arrive at Tanluo to help the other side fight against the enemy.

The Zhou navy came very quickly. He unexpectedly attacked the Baekje navy stationed in Bogang District, and then landed in a large scale. He quickly defeated the Baekje army on the island, controlled the Danluo Kingdom, and was said to have also been appointed as a vassal state.

Not only that, the Zhou navy that captured Tanluo also invaded the coastal areas of Baekje. After landing, it burned, killed, looted and committed various atrocities.

The Zhou navy was extremely rampant, not only plaguing the coastal areas of Baekje, but even its warships arrived at the mouth of the Baijiang River (the mouth of the Baijiang River), trying to go up the river and invade the capital of Baekje.

It was the Baekje Navy who tried hard to intercept it and barely repelled it.

The Baekje Navy has experienced several wars and suffered heavy casualties. If this continues, it will be difficult to defend the Baijiangkou and cannot protect the safety of the royal city.

If the situation continues like this, Goguryeo and Silla, which are already hostile to Baekje, will definitely take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the favorable opportunity when Baekje's main army gathers near the royal city to attack the city on the border.

Baekje is now in danger, and the only thing he can rely on is his ally, Japan. The King of Baekje sent several envoys to Japan for help. Now he is expressing his love for Suma Mazi, the fourth envoy sent by Baekje.

After hearing the crying, Su and Ma Zi asked the other party whether Baekje was related to the attack on Zhou ships. Of course, the envoy strongly denied this.

Who is Su, I, Ma Zi? Of course, I can guess that Baekje has something to do with this matter. He can guess that it may be that his country and Zhou have closer contacts, which aroused Baekje's dissatisfaction, so the other party decided to attack Zhou's fleet and try to turn the situation around.

But Su I and Ma Zi have no evidence, so it is difficult to attack, and it is impossible to attack.

Japan and Baekje have always had close relationships. If Baekje is in trouble, Japan cannot sit idly by. Otherwise, if something happens to Baekje or even perish, then Japan's interests will inevitably be greatly affected.

Not to mention that the Renna area occupied by Silla will never have a chance to recover it, just say that once Silla annexes Baekje, or even Goguryeo destroys Baekje and Silla, the powerful country that unifies the peninsula will inevitably have a lot of thoughts about Japan.

Therefore, no matter what, Japan cannot stand by and watch Baekje betrayal or even fall into ruin.

Not to mention that the Zhou Kingdom has now occupied Danluo, and a large number of warships are stationed in the port. Once Baekje is defeated, what should we do next if the other party attacks Japan?

Su I-Mazi knew the seriousness of the situation, so he could not stand by, but...

Seeing that Su and Ma Zi were reluctant to express his opinion, the Baekje envoy was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and kept begging.

He knew that Japan is the most powerful and the one who speaks the most effective way is not the King of Japan, but the powerful minister in front of him. Now Baekje is in danger. If Japan does not make a decision and does not send reinforcements to Baekje, then Baekje will be really in danger.

Su I, Ma Zi, frowned. Seeing that the messenger kept begging, he said that he would make a decision every day and ask the other party to go back to the museum first and wait for news.

The Baekje envoy took his leave with a bitter face. Su I-Mazi sat alone for a while, got up and turned into the courtyard on the other side, where another envoy had been waiting for a long time.

Compared to the Baekje envoy, this envoy has no official identity, because the other party was a private messenger, and he also came for the matter of Danluo. He arrived at the capital of Japan not to see the king, but just to see Su Imazi.

Zhang Yu, the envoy of King Bin of Zhou, came across the sea and was ordered to convey King Bin's anger to the Minister of the Japanese State Suwo Mazi.

"The king was very angry because the fleet lost five ships and more than 100,000 taels of silver. This made the king lose all his face in front of the emperor, which was an unprecedented shame."

"The king is now in charge of the overseas market affairs of the dynasty. He originally obtained nearly 400,000 taels of silver from your country. After transporting it back to the capital, it must be a great political achievement, but..."

"The king has led the tiger and wolf army in the past two years and has never encountered any opponents. Even if the enemy has hundreds of thousands of people, he will be defeated in front of the king. This time, the king wanted to rely on the 400,000 taels of silver from the sea trade to go further in the court, but the matter was screwed up."

"Those who only know how to talk in the court used this to ridicule the king's incompetence. What's more, they poured sewage on the Maritime Warehouse, saying that the Maritime Warehouse organized a fleet to do maritime trade was a waste of money, and asked the emperor to stop the Maritime Warehouse affairs."

"Although the emperor didn't say anything or scold the king, the king was very angry about it, really angry."

"We have no evidence to prove that Baekje sent ships to attack the fleet as pirates, but the king said that someone must pay the price. The Mailbo Department is not an incompetent person who can be bullied!"

Zhang Yu, the special envoy of King Bin, stated calmly, but Su I and Ma Zi could feel the aggression of King Bin from it. He was not clear about the situation in Zhou, but had experienced the cruel power struggle and could feel the pressure that King Bin Yu and Wen Wen were under in the Zhou court because of the attack on the fleet.

Su We and Ma Zi advocate Buddhism in Japan, and there are many obstacles. As long as there are mistakes in their actions, opponents will definitely be stubborn and they will be unable to defend against all kinds of sarcasm. Therefore, he can understand the situation facing Wang Yuwen Wen.

However, Japan will not sit idly by and watch Baekje suffer. This is a principle and cannot be changed.

Su I-Ma Zi thought of this and asked: "I don't know what Baekje should do to calm the king's anger?"

He added: "Baoje has no malicious intentions towards the Great Zhou. If the king decides to attack Baekje, even if he really attacks the royal city, what will happen afterwards? Baekje was destroyed by Goguryeo or Silla, will the new ruler be peaceful?"

In response to this, Zhang Yu's answer was very straightforward: "Minister, the King's Maritime Fleet is going to sea to do maritime trade, not to destroy the country. If all the guests are destroyed, who will the King's Maritime Fleet do business?"

"But this guest must abide by the rules, and don't always think about stabbing people with a knife and causing sneak attacks!"

"The king wants political achievements, and political achievements means that the trade volume of the Maritime Bureau has increased significantly. If the trade volume increases significantly, the safety of the fleet must be guaranteed!"

"The Danluo Kingdom was a vassal state of Baekje, but now it is a dynasty. The Danluo Kingdom is still a Danluo Kingdom. The troops stationed on the island are to ensure the safety of the route. The Danluo Island is the trading base of the Maritime Bureau, not the starting point for attacking the countries in Haidong. This is what the king means, and there is no other meaning."

"As for the King's Warships attacking the coast of Baekje, the reason is very simple. The bravery collected by the Maritime Bureau must at least give some sweetness, right? Women, the soldiers will take money from Baekje!"

"The King's Warship arrived at Baijiangkou purely to tell some people in Baekje that they should not think that Zhou's fleet is a fat pig, and they can bite whatever they want!"

"The king did not kill the captured soldiers in Baekje. If Baekje knew the current affairs, someone would say justice. It would be impossible for the king to release these prisoners. After all, doing business is about making peace and making money."

Su I and Ma Zi heard the implication: "So? Can our country mediate in the center?"

Zhang Yu nodded: "This is the case with the king. If the minister thinks it is appropriate, he can ask the king of your country to send an envoy to Baekje to mediate and mediate. At that time, the king will also give an explanation to the court and the soldiers."

"So what explanation does the king want?"

In response, Zhang Yu replied: "It's very simple. First of all, Baekje recognizes the fact that Danluo is a vassal state of the dynasty. He does not launch an invasion, just treat it as compensation for more than 100,000 taels of silver and hundreds of casualties."

"Secondly, the Danluo State has been the stronghold for the Zhou State Maritime Bureau to carry out trade and cannot be violated. The Maritime Bureau and the fleets of various countries in Haidong will be distributed on Danluo Island. All countries can send envoys to Danluo to discuss the matters of the maritime bureau."

"Of course, the king hopes that Baekje can arrange a special official office like your country to trade with the Imperial Maritime Bureau."

"The king doesn't care about the views of King Baekje, but he is willing to make some convenience and let your country show its influence."

The last sentence is what Zhang Yu wants to convey for King Bin.

Although he was not a national envoy, he represented King Bin of Zhou. Su and Ma Zi knew that King Bin now has the right to decide on the maritime affairs of Zhou. It seemed that the other party wanted to do business, not destroy the country.

In this way, things have room for maneuver. After all, Su and Ma Zi really want to strengthen their trade relations with the Central Plains, but he cannot sit idly by and watch Baekje be attacked by the Zhou Kingdom, and the national strength has declined and even the country has been destroyed.

Listening to the special envoy conveying King Bin's thoughts, Su I-Mazi quickly had an idea in his heart. Without further ado, he would "persuade" the king as soon as possible and send envoys to Tanluo and Baekje to mediate.

All this is based on the fact that Wang Yuwen is trustworthy. If he faces others, Su I and Ma Zi will not be so naive, but King Bin has a good credit, at least there is room for him to "try it out".

Zhang Yu came here, in addition to "clarifying misunderstandings", there were other important things. Seeing "misunderstandings and clarifications", Su I and Ma Zi felt a little relieved and struck while the iron was hot: "Minister, I came here on order this time, and I want to know how your country is doing?"

"There is no problem with Kunbu. The court will ask the coastal residents to pay the full amount of Kunbu. As for the ice..." Su I-Mazi was a little curious when he said this, "Your country has a vast territory. Don't there be many places where ice is frozen in winter? Why do we need to sell so many ice cubes in our country?"

"The demand is high, and the more the better. Besides, if not, how can your country pay for the cost of buying a mountain of goods transported by the Maritime Traffic? After all, sulfur is always bad, and your country's silver production is always unavailable..."

Zhang Yu changed his tone and turned to the issue of silver mining: "Minister, I came here on order this time and brought some craftsmen who were proficient in the 'ash blowing method' and could help your country significantly increase the silver production..."
