After returning from the Dongmu Navy, Hong Yuan still wrote the situation here on the letter as soon as possible.

The Tang Dynasty here obviously started to fulfill its promise for what Li Nian said a year ago. Although Hong Yuan did not tell Zhang Chong that he was about to fight at this time as Li Nian's instructions, Li Nian's bold words a year ago were still heard, and Zhang Chong knew it in his heart.

For Japan, this year is not so fun.

Originally, this matter in Japan has been done well in recent years. It has already received a lot of news from the Tang Dynasty. My weapons have basically been upgraded, and my warships are also in the process of manufacturing.

Because Japan is an island country, all kinds of resources are not very sufficient. Generally speaking, it can only be said to be traded from the Tang Dynasty or other places, which has also led to the slow manufacturing speed of their warships being much slower. It would take two years to truly create a warship that is comparable to the Tang Dynasty.

But Japan was not in a hurry because the Tang Dynasty had not made any progress for decades.

As long as they can maintain the pace of progress now, surpassing the Tang Dynasty is just a matter of time. If this generation does not work, then the next generation will not work, then the next generation will not work.

However, Li Yan's appearance made the Japanese a little anxious because in the past few years, he actually made the Tang Dynasty's naval army and warships have made a big improvement.

Once the Tang Dynasty's naval army and warships were really powerful, what they had to do would definitely be to attack Japan.

So the Japanese were indeed a little panicked. They wanted to finish what they wanted to complete faster, so as not to be able to create a warship like the Tang Dynasty even though they had mastered the technology.

And what Yamamoto Kogoro did in the Tang Dynasty in recent years is still very satisfying to the Japanese court. He was able to obtain so much information from the Tang Dynasty for so many years, which is naturally the reason why the Japanese valued him.

This time in Japan was the Nara era known to Li Nara in later generations. More than 40 years ago, the Emperor of Japan moved the capital to Heikkei and began the well-known "Nara era" in Japanese history.

During this period, the emperors of all dynasties focused on farming, water conservancy, reward land reclamation, and social economy developed greatly. At this time, the Nara Dynasty was influenced by the prosperous Tang culture of China and accepted Indian and Iranian culture through the Tang Dynasty, thus the first time that Japan's culture was fully prosperous.

At this time, the Japanese society was in a peaceful and prosperous era of peace and prosperity. However, the accumulated problems of later generations were also formed at this time, and the ban field system was difficult to form, the economy of the emperor's autocratic country was shaken, and the centralized system was gradually weakened due to internal strife.

Not only that, during this period, whether it was Bohai Kingdom or Silla, Japan wanted to enjoy the situation of the Tang Dynasty in many countries, that is, the above countries regarded themselves as themselves.

But although they think they are still good, these countries do not think so. So, although they are still interacting with each other, they all use an equal attitude.

In other words, the relationship between Japan in this era and some surrounding dynasties was not very good.

Of course, except for the Tang Dynasty, both the Bohai Kingdom and Silla, their soldiers and their armor and weapons were still very advanced.

Therefore, their Tang envoys had a very high status among the many Tang envoys who sent Tang envoys in the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it was sending a Tang envoy or wanting to send troops, there were three main routes from Japan to Tang. In the early stage, they took the North Road, and in the later stage, they took the South Island Road or South Road.

North Road. This is the early route for Sino-Japanese transportation since the Han and the Three Kingdoms.

From Namba, the northern Kyushu set sail, through Yiqi, Tsushima Island to Jeju Island, then travel north along the southwest coast of the Korean Peninsula, starting from the Han River mouth and the Wengjin Peninsula, turning westward, crossing the Yellow Sea, and landing at Dengzhou or Laizhou, the later Shandong Peninsula. Or continue to travel north from the Han River mouth, crossing the Yalu River mouth, sailing west, to the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula, passing through the Miaodao Island, and to Dengzhou. This road has a long sailing period, but it is relatively safe to sail along the coast.

Nandao Road. From Chizuru in Kitakyushu, it heads south along the west coast of Kyushu Island, passes through Amami Island, Ryukyu, and crosses the East China Sea to the Yangtze River Port.

South Road, from Zhuzi in the northern Jiuzhou, crosses the East China Sea and reaches the Yangtze River Port. Although the flight period of Nandao Road and South Road is shorter than that of North Road, there are many shipwreck accidents.

It is precisely because there are three routes to choose from from Japan to the Tang Dynasty that the Tang Dynasty never discovered that the Japanese secretly sent all the very important information back from the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

With these unique conditions, the Emperor of Japan is still feeling good every day. As soon as the news was sent back, it was a bolt from the blue for him, and he directly fucked the Emperor of Japan onto the hospital bed.

Over the years, they have been carefully plagiarizing everything about the Tang Dynasty, and the things they have obtained have made them more powerful beings than Silla and Bohai Kingdom.

But every emperor in Japan would not be satisfied with being only stronger than Bohai Kingdom and Silla. Their target has always been the Tang Dynasty. Now, the discovery of this incident only means that they should stop their own steps.

Although the Emperor of Japan knew that the Tang Dynasty might not be far away from the ocean, the Tang Dynasty's own warships might not be able to reach the territory of Japan.

But whether it is Tongluo or Bohai Kingdom, they will spare no effort to help the Tang Dynasty. The Japanese nightmare is coming soon.

Although Japan is a little confident in military affairs, the people of Japan are not so united.

The people were bound to the village system and the law of collecting and collecting land taxes, and the land taxes paid were called rents and the burdens called mediocre, regulating, and comrades.

Due to the continuous political events, the large-scale construction of Buddhist temples and the growing luxury of the ruling class during the Balance period, exploitation has increased year by year. In order to escape the heavy exploitation that cannot be burdened, citizens began to abandon their fields and wander around, or live in nobles, temples and local powerful homes.

On the contrary, the nobles began to invade the annexation of commons, and the law of receiving and receiving the land was difficult to implement on schedule. The imperial court encouraged the land to be reclaimed and promulgated the "Three-generation One-Personal Technique" to resolve conflicts, but the results were minimal.

This also perfectly illustrates why a person like Ichiro Muto came to the Tang Dynasty and was arrested by Li Yan and simply regarded himself as a Tang Dynasty person.
