Chapter 1838 Done

In front of Fang Jun, Ji Shiju seemed much more casual.

When Ji Shiju arrived at Chunfan Tower the next day, Fang Jun hosted a banquet in honor of him. Ji Shiju simply washed the dust and dirt from his face and then started eating and drinking.

Fang Jun was quite surprised. In his opinion, the Jishiju in the past seemed a bit ugly, but they behaved politely and neither humble nor overbearing. But in front of him, it seemed as if their carapace had been removed, and they no longer had the slightest scruple to hold back.

"Why is the Marquis looking at me like this?" Ji Shiju ate delicious dishes from the Tang Dynasty and drank cupfuls of Fangfu's fine wine. He couldn't help but feel strange when he saw Fang Jun looking at him with a strange expression.

Fang Jun said: "Is there a kind of joy that comes from the depths of the soul? I no longer have to live with those insects and rats in dirty and dark ditches for the rest of my life. I feel that the sun is so warm, the sky is so blue, and even the wind blowing All with fragrance? ”

Ji Shiju thought for a moment and praised: "He is worthy of being the most talented man in the Tang Dynasty. These words speak to my heart... As an Eyi people, I have an sworn hatred with the Japanese, but I can't help it." If you don’t make mistakes with them, you will know that the Marquis How disgusting and depressing do you feel in your heart? Now with the help of the Marquis, the Ezo people can finally seize a piece of warm land to survive and reproduce. Although the land of their ancestors is still in the hands of the Japanese, the Ezo people are already very content."

Having said this, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, walked to Fang Jun and knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground.

"You are the benefactor of the Ezo people. The Ezo people will carve monuments and erect temples for you. The generations to come will remember your kindness. From now on, as long as there is one Ezo person alive in the world, facing you and your His descendants will be regarded as benefactors, no matter what the request, even if they are broken into pieces, they will not hesitate. ”

This oath was extremely solemn.

As long as the people of Eni still remember what happened today, even if the talk of being shattered into pieces will gradually fade away within a few decades, even if it is a hundred generations later, the descendants of Bo Jun will definitely be respected in the territory of the Ezo people. Distinguished guest, with great respect.

Fang Jun stretched out his hand to help him up and said with a smile: "Giving roses to others leaves a lingering fragrance in your hands. Although I have never wanted anything in return from the people of Ezo, I feel deeply moved when I see that the poor people of Ezo can have a stable and warm home." Feel relieved. Get up and talk.”

Although I have never heard of the saying "giving roses to others, the fragrance lingers in your hands", it did not prevent Jishiko from understanding the meaning. He stood up and said in sincere respect: "Before coming here, all the people of Eni please ask me for your help, General." Their heartiest thanks are expressed to you and have been achieved by all It is unanimously agreed that this mediation will be completely led by you, Lord Marquis. Whatever conditions you say, Lord Marquis, those are the conditions. Even if we, the people of Ezo, have to go through mountains and seas of fire, we will never complain. In this way, Express my gratitude and trust in you.”

Look at what people said, this thing was done, what does it mean to be considerate?

This is called caring!

Fang Jun is just a docile donkey. If you try to screw with him, he will be more stubborn than you! But just like Ji Shima, he completely puts himself and the Ezo people in the position of "the beneficiary", saying that you can do whatever you want, and we agree to any conditions, even if I send all the women in the tribe to you. I will never frown...

Such grandeur actually made Fang Jun feel a little embarrassed.

After all, he is not a qualified diplomat. He cannot put interests first in everything. In the end, it is still a loss of face...

The next day, the winter sun was bright and the sea breeze was gentle.

The windows on the top floor of Chunfan Building were closed, and the sun shone in through the glass windows, making it bright.

There was a long wooden table placed in the middle of the hall. Although it was made from large trees cut down in the nearby mountains, the craftsmen who usually repaired warships and had no place to show off their skills had itchy hands and made the table have complicated and luxurious patterns. Unusually, even the chairs placed in a circle are carved with hollow patterns, making them look exquisite and gorgeous.

Charcoal stoves were lit in the four corners, the cold wind blew outside the window, and the interior of the building was as warm as spring.

Fang Jun sat in the main seat at the end of the long table with a golden sword. There was another desk placed behind him. Wang Xuance and several naval officers sat there to record the meeting.

The two parties to the negotiation were seated on the left and right.

As for the Japanese, the Japanese were naturally dominated by Souma and a few civil officials, while the Ezo people were much simpler. Only Jishiko was accompanied by a tall young man with a stern face, who was his younger brother Jishijun.

In addition, representatives from Silla, Baekje, Linyi and other countries attended as witnesses.

Of course, almost all countries welcome the fact that Japan is about to open a treaty port. This means that Japan's huge market will be open to merchants from all over the world. From now on, doing business in Japan only needs to abide by the business order and there is no need to worry. Will be exploited by officials.

Under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, a stable, harmonious, and prosperous business circle will gradually take shape after including many East Asian, Southeast Asian and other countries.

Among them, Goguryeo, which was about to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, was excluded...

This is tantamount to isolating it at the diplomatic level without support from any country. Even Baekje, which has always worn the same pants as Goguryeo, is wavering between it. On the one hand, it is the imminent high pressure of Goguryeo, and on the other hand, it is the huge economic interests. It is really difficult to choose.

But as long as they don't have a good relationship with Silla, it will be difficult for them to board the big ship of the Tang Dynasty...

Ji Shijun stepped forward and saluted Fang Jun, his eyes full of admiration and reverence: "Eldest brother has always admired the Marquis. He has said in front of me countless times that the Marquis has superb literary talent and unparalleled military skills, which has always made me yearn for him. When we meet today, we will know He is such a heroic young hero! The Lord Marquis can step in to mediate the war between the Eni people and the Japanese, and he is actually the benefactor of the Eni people. From now on, Ji Shijun is willing to lead the horse into the stirrup, but if there is an order, everything will be done. Never give up!”

This set of rhetoric was spoken with a strange intonation and an inaccurate tone. It was obvious that he didn’t speak Chinese very much. This time someone must have drafted the manuscript and memorized it for a long time...

But even so, Fang Jun blushed a little.

It’s not scary when your own people praise you, but it’s really scary when Waiguoren praises you...

Fortunately, Fang Jun's face was dark and slightly red, but it didn't show up.

Fang Jun said a few polite words and invited Ji Shijun to visit the Tang Dynasty when he had nothing to do. He also invited Ji Shijun to go to Nanyang with the naval fleet to broaden his horizons. Then he invited the two brothers Ji Shijun to take a seat.

But the negotiation meeting was not friendly.

As soon as he came up, Ji Shima said bluntly: "The Japanese occupied my homeland and killed my people. The blood feud is too deep to be described. Every Eni people has this hatred engraved in their hearts, and they are always thinking about killing the enemy for revenge and returning to their homeland. The Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven and a land of etiquette, and Marquis Huating is a hero who is loyal, righteous, and righteous. Now, for the sake of The peace of Honshu Island came forward to mediate, hoping that the two sides would stop the war, and the Ezo people were willing to comply with the will of the Tang Dynasty. From then on, they would give up fighting and stick to their duties. As for this negotiation, the Ezo people completely complied with the wishes of the Tang Dynasty, regardless of any requirements. I can accept it unconditionally. I just want to reach an agreement quickly. I really don’t want to sit at the same table with the cruel Japanese.”

Sumo was so angry that his face turned red.

You just flatter Fang Jun, why do you bring Japanese along with you?

The Japanese killed many Eni people, but did the Eni people kill fewer Japanese people?

Well, it is indeed missing a bit...

But the reason why you kill so few is because you are so weak. If it were easy to deal with them, you will probably not show any mercy when your butcher knife hits the head of the Japanese.

He ridiculed: "You are a native of Ezo, but you have been able to devote yourself to the center of the Japanese kingdom for many years. You are usually a low-key person, like a dog, but you are so arrogant once you gain power. It is really ridiculous."

Ji Shiju was not annoyed, but said calmly: "I will not talk to the old dog who plots to usurp the throne and kill his old master."

Su Wolishi was furious: "Shu Zi, you are so bold!"

"Bang!"

Fang Jun placed the tea cup heavily on the table and said in a deep voice: "I am here to mediate the war between you two, so that the civilians will not be slaughtered and their lives will be ruined. If anyone is not convinced, you can go out immediately and prepare your troops for battle. , see whose knife is faster and whose mouth is sharper! ”

Suamali was so angry that his white beard trembled.

Just now you turned a blind eye when Ji Shiju was rude with his words, and now you say harsh words after I say a few words. Isn't that too biased?

But even though he was angry, he didn't dare to say anything.

He understood that what the Tang people played was "balance". It was not that they were close to the Ezo people and hated the Japanese, but it was just the general trend of supporting the weak and hoeing the strong. On the other hand, if the weaker party was the Japanese, the Tang people would definitely support the Japanese against the Eni people.

In the final analysis, this has nothing to do with emotions, but is really just a game of trade-offs in the empire's strategy.

However, what he didn't know was that Fang Jun planned the attack and persecution of Japan. It was a bit far-fetched to say that it was in line with the imperial policy, and it was entirely out of personal emotions. (End of chapter)
