Chapter 568 The Tokugawa Family Visits
In Qu County, Li Chen was busy in the official yard. The Qin Dynasty needed fresh blood, so this time the conquest of Ryukyu and Fusang, Gao Fei did not intend to command himself, but chose to stay in the rear.
But when he suddenly sat in the rear, Gao Fei realized that it was no easier to sit in the rear than to be on the front line. The mobilization of more than 100,000 people required was enough to make people busy without getting stuck in the ground.
So at the same time, outside Qu County.
A group of Fusang people wearing Daqin costumes stood outside the city. This was their first time to come to Qu County, standing outside the city to look at the prosperous Qu County.
Since Li Chen established the harbor in Qu County, Qu County can be said to be developing rapidly. Although Qu County is far inferior to Xianyang, it can rank among the top ten in terms of prosperity in the entire Qin Dynasty.
The harbor has driven the development of the entire Qu County. The caravans and fleets that have been going out to sea are all transfusions of blood to Daqin. As the city closest to the harbor, Qu County is naturally the first to enjoy the benefits brought by the harbor.
"Is this just a county town in Daqin?" A woman covered in a veil exclaimed among the group of people.
Qu County is no longer the Qu County that was a few years ago. In order to accommodate the growing population and meet the needs of caravans, Qu County has been completely rebuilt. Today, Qu County has increased its area by about three times compared to its area. The city wall has also changed from a short earth city wall to a cement city wall that is five or six feet long.
Standing under the city wall that is nearly twenty meters high, it seems too small, especially the relatively short Fusang people standing under the city wall.
The visitor was the envoy of the Tokugawa family, and the woman in the head was the pearl of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Sora. Since the decision to offer Qingyumaru to the Qin Dynasty and have received a chance of truce, Tokugawa Sora began to secretly plan to go to Qu County.
Why is it a secret plan? Because now, under the fierce attack of the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate, in order to preserve its interests in Fuso, the Tokugawa Shogunate has given up its right to control the sea and reduced its troops to land.
It is precisely because they lost their control of the sea that they could leave Fuso without disturbing the Kamakura Shogunate and Muromachi Shogunate, they made a lot of sufficient preparations and also delayed a lot of time.
Walking into the city, the whole city is also prosperous. Outside the city is a concrete road, while in the city is a smoother bluestone pavement. On both sides of the road are various merchants. Looking at such a prosperous street, Tokugawa Iso couldn't help but sigh: "The Qin Dynasty is really too prosperous. A city of this size is to use the power of the entire Tokugawa family, and it is afraid it will be difficult to build."
Although Tokugawa Iso is the pearl in the hands of the Tokugawa family, as a woman, she has never been to Daqin. After all, this was in ancient times, and most of the things that appeared in public were done by men. This time, the reason why she was sent to meet Li Chen was that the Tokugawa family had some special meanings.
The Tokugawa family has a secret stronghold in Qu Prefecture, after all, they were also trading with the Daiqin. It was only after the war between the three major shogunate of Fuso and the Daiqin expressed support for the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate, that they had cut off the transaction with the Tokugawa Shogunate.
After returning to the Tokugawa family's stronghold in Qu County and taking a short rest, Tokugawa Sora said to a middle-aged man: "Okamoto Rishan, where can you go to the Grand Marshal to submit a post. Remember, you must find a way to let the Grand Marshal see us as soon as possible no matter what."
"Yes." A middle-aged man named Okamoto Ridge Mountain bowed and replied.
At noon, Li Chen, who was dealing with military affairs until midnight last night, was a little sleepy, so he leaned on his seat and slept for a while.
Okamoto Ridge Mountain came to the yamen, and the one who received him was Du Bishu. Li Chen was resting, and Du Bishu naturally captured and let the little barbarian envoy disturb him.
"This is Lord Du, here is Okamoto Ridge Mountain from the Tokugawa family. Lord Du is the right-hand man of the Grand Marshal. Today, he saw it extraordinary." Okamoto Ridge Mountain was sent by Tokugawa Iso to deliver a post, obviously a smooth person. Other skills may not be very good, but this skill of flattery is very good.
"No, there are many civil officials under the Grand Marshal and fierce generals, where can they take responsibility?" Du Bishu said modestly.
Okamoto Ridge Mountain is also an old dog licker. Before Du Bishu could finish his speech, he immediately said, "Damn, Damn. This Qu County can develop to this day, and Lord Du has made great contributions. Even this contribution is the most powerful ministers and generals under the command of the Grand Marshal. "
"Drink tea, drink tea." Du Bishu pointed to the tea in front of Okamoto Rishan and said, with a look on his face as if you are so good at speaking, so you might as well say something more.
Okamoto Ridge Mountain's oral work is very good, and Du Bishu is licked very comfortably, and his attitude is much more relaxed than at the beginning.
"Mr. Du, when will you meet the Grand Marshal?" Okamoto Rishan felt that he had just licked it, so he asked tentatively at Du Bishu.
Naturally, Du Bishu would not tell him everything just because he was licked by Okamoto Rishan a few words. So he said ambiguously: "The Grand Marshal now has important military affairs to deal with. After the military affairs are handled, he will naturally meet you."
"This is natural. Military affairs are important, and military affairs are important." Okamoto Rishan quickly echoed.
The Qin Dynasty is the country of the Heavenly Kingdom, and Fusang is a small barbarian country. In the eyes of Okamoto Rishan, as a Fusang man, he should naturally maintain the humility he should have when facing the Qin people. Not to mention that Li Chen is the dignified Grand Marshal of the Qin army, and he is just an official of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Wait, and you have to wait willingly. Okamoto Ridge Mountain's purpose is very clear. It is considered a victory to be able to see Li Chen before dark. Of course, if you can't see him today, you will see him tomorrow.
In short, for Okamoto Rishan, the people of the Qin Dynasty were their fathers, and Li Chen was the only one who could save the Tokugawa Shogunate now.
Of course, Du Bishu didn't let Okamoto Ridge Mountain wait for a long time. The key is that he didn't have so much spare time to spend with him. The reason why he was allowed to wait here was simply that he didn't want him to disturb Li Chen's rest.
After waiting for about half an hour, the tea in the bowl changed several times. Du Bishu estimated that Li Chen should have woken up.
Du Bishu drank the tea in the bowl and then said to Okamoto Rishan: "You wait here first, I'll see if the big element has finished handling military affairs."
Hearing that Du Bishu took the initiative to help him investigate the situation, Okamoto Rishan was moved and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Du."
