Verses 683 & 684 The Townsman is back, Smecta!
When Li Luo returned, he did not let go of Goryeo. He went to Ganghwa Island by the way, and occupied this "hometown" without saying a word.
The location of Ganghwa Island is important. The occupation of Ganghwa Island can be used as a military base in the north, relying on the naval division, threatening Dadu, Liaodong and Goryeo, like a sharp knife against the heart of Meng Yuan.
There are only more than 2,000 remaining Goryeo sailors on Ganghwa Island, where can they be the opponents of the Tang fleet? Tens of thousands of Tang army sailors approached the military port, and as soon as the artillery bombarded, the Goryeo sailors were forced to surrender.
And the commanders of the Goryeo sailors are still Jiang Chengyi and An Jingjiu, who were promoted by Li Luo. One of the two is a temperance envoy, and the other is Du Yuhou, and they don't want to resist Li Luo.
After the Jianghua Navy Division surrendered, Jiang Chengyi and An Jingjiu came to see Li Luo by themselves, and took the initiative to bow down when they met: "The last general Jiang Chengyi (An Jingjiu), see the general!" ”
Seven years ago, the two of them were just heads, and it was Li Luo who took over as the emperor of the left camp, promoted the two of them, and followed Li Luo to the day, thus becoming the general of the water division.
It can be said that without Li Luo, with the background of the people among them, there is absolutely no chance to be a general.
"Haha, Chengyi, Jingjiu, why is it too late to return!" Li Luo saw the two former subordinates and said happily.
"Hurry up! These two are my old friends! Li Luo commanded.
The two of them didn't dare to get up on the ground, and they didn't even dare to say it.
Li Luo personally helped them up, "Seven years ago, I was the commander of the Zuoying Division of the Sixth Rank Water Master. At that time, the two of you served under your command, and you were quite effective. During the expedition to Japan, he fought hard with the Japanese sailors and made great contributions. Over the years, I have never forgotten it. ”
Jiang Chengyi and An Jingjiu burst into tears, and said: "Your Majesty has not forgotten your subordinates, and the ministers are grateful." I hope that Your Majesty will be late to return. ”
This change of words means that he is willing to serve Datang.
Li Luo is now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he still remembers them, so they can't help but be grateful.
Li Luo smiled: "It's not too late to return to Tang at this time." The two of you are sailors, but unfortunately you can't be reused by Goryeo. I am preparing to form the Huaxia Ocean Fleet, which is divided into three fleets: Beiyang, Dongyang, and Nanyang. With your two sailors as the base, form the Beiyang Fleet. ”
The two of them didn't expect to be so reused, and thanked him: "Your Majesty is trustworthy, and you will repay your heart!" ”
Li Luo was very satisfied with the statement of the two, "I have awarded you two the rank of great samurai, and the rank of Zhonglang general. When you have made meritorious contributions, your titles are indispensable. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Tang Army, not counting the 20,000-strong Yangtze River Fleet, had a total of more than 40,000 naval personnel. Li Luo planned to form another 5,000-strong Beiyang Fleet to control the Liaodong Sea and threaten the northern part of the Yuan Dynasty and Goryeo.
The two of them are really generals, and they trained the Jianghua Navy Division very well, and the warships were also well maintained. Of course, now it's all cheaper Li Luo.
The Jianghua Naval Division was the last naval division that the Yuan Dynasty could mobilize, and it also changed banners to the Tang Dynasty at this time.
It is equivalent to saying that the Yuan court and Goryeo have no sea power at all. Li Luo planned to add another 3,000 sailors to the two, increase the number of warships, and form the Beiyang Fleet.
In this way, the strength of the Tang Navy will reach 50,000 people, which is huge.
After the Jianghua Water Division was incorporated, Li Luo returned to Mani Township, where he still had a Lijiawu Fort.
At this time, Ganghwa Island had been controlled by the Tang army, but Tang Junqiu did not commit any crimes, and the people on the island were not affected.
Li Luo stepped on the familiar land and found that the people's livelihood here was different from before.
When he was the envoy of the capital village and the regiment, the people of Mani Township and other places lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their lives were getting better and better under his protection, at least they were no longer oppressed by the scholars, and they could eat their stomachs.
Therefore, the people were very grateful to Li Luo at that time.
But now, the island is full of decay. After he Li Luo raised an army, the people were oppressed by the Yuan court and the Goryeo royal court, and life became miserable again, and many people became field slaves.
The good days of the local people when Li Luo was there, like a flash in the pan, became an unforgettable memory for them.
One of the most common words of the people now is: It would be nice if the townsman was still here.
At present, it is the time to harvest the summer wheat, but the people in the fields are sad and have no joy, and many of them are all discolored.
Don't look at the wheat they harvest, but most of the grain they bring down is not theirs.
After a year of hard work and hard work in cattle and horses, I can only get 30% of the harvest, and I can't eat enough, and it is really difficult to live.
They remembered that when the townsman was here, they could get seventy percent of the food, which was more than double. And they didn't have to borrow usury at that time, so life was much better.
But now? Since the townsman is gone, they don't live like people again.
A yellow-faced and thin-skinned man put down his sickle and said to another man: "Min Qi, I really want to jump into the sea and die, the past two years have been too bitter." ”
The man surnamed Min sighed and shook his head, "Who says it's not?" Hey, I don't know if you can come back. I remember that when the Xiangjun first arrived here, I took my child to his house to borrow rice, and the Xiangjun gave three liters of white rice without saying a word. ”
His tears flowed, "I will never forget this incident for the rest of my life." Adults are eager to take everything we have, but who wants to give us a grain of rice? Only the townsman is good to us. ”
Another man said: "I heard that the Xiangjun did something to the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, and to oppose the emperor and the king. You say, can the townsman still fight back? ”
At this moment, suddenly there was a noise of people on the beach, followed by a large group of people running over, shouting hoarsely.
"The townsman is back!"
"Lord Xiangjun is back, Smecta, come out to greet him!"
"Hey! Lord Xiangjun is back, Smecta! There are so many soldiers and horses! ”
When Min Qi and the others heard this, they immediately stood up in surprise and rushed to the high shore to look, "It's the countryman!" It's the countryman! ”
Many people threw away their farming tools and rushed over.
"Hurry up and greet Smecta!"
Soon, the news of Li Luo's return to Mani Township became known to everyone. At that time, all the people under his rule helped the old and the young to go out, knelt on the side of the road, and greeted the villagers.
Many people shouted with tears streaming down their faces, "Finally wait for Lord Xiangjun to come back!" ”
Unlike the ecstasy of the people, the Liu family panicked.
Because, they occupied Lijiawu Fort. After Li Luo raised his troops, the Liu family unceremoniously occupied Lijiawu Fort. They thought that it was impossible for Li Luo to come back.
Who knows, Li Luo not only became the emperor, but also led the army back to Jianghua. He's back!
"Hurry! Get out of here! Liu Chengming ordered to leave Lijiawu Fort, and at the same time anxiously ordered his subordinates to clean up.
At this time, he not only had to evacuate Lijiawu Fort, but also evacuated Ganghwa Island. Here, can't stay.
As soon as Li Luo's war horse appeared in the countryside, it immediately caused a sensation.
"Countryman!"
"Meet Smecta, Lord Countryman!"
Hundreds of people saw Li Luo's familiar figure, just like a child who saw his parents returning from a long absence, crying bitterly and excited.
Li Luo looked at the people who were crying like waves of wheat in the wind, and couldn't help but be moved.
That's it!
Even the guards and generals who surrounded Li Luo were also very emotional. Unexpectedly, after several years of His Majesty's departure, he still has such a high reputation here.
This is the birth of a saint.
"Get up! Get up! Li Luo raised his horsewhip and said loudly, he pointed to the large wheat field, "This year's wheat is all your own!" By next year, the grain tax will only be levied at 20%! Abolish all taxes and miscellaneous taxes! ”
What the?
When the people heard this, they immediately thundered with joy and shouted Xie Xiangjun. Soon, the people of the organic spirit shouted for His Majesty's mercy.
More and more people changed their names to His Majesty and kowtowed one by one.
They knew that the townsman had become the emperor and had really come back. If you call back this time, you won't leave.
That's great.
As for what Goryeo royal court, the king, what does it have to do with them? When did you care if they lived or died?
They just want to follow the countryman, not the king.
Soon, Li Luo came to Lijiawu Fort surrounded by the villagers of Goryeo.
However, coincidentally, I happened to meet the Liu family who came out in a hurry.
Liu Chengming had already left, but he was reluctant to hide a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in Lijiawu Fort, so he delayed for a while. This delay was terrible, and he just happened to bump into Li Luo.
When Liu Chengming saw Li Luo's team, he was so shocked that he could only flee west, but where could he escape?
In the blink of an eye, this usually domineering son of the clan was brought to Li Luoma.
After all, Liu Chengming is from a family background, and his understanding of the situation in the outside world is far greater than that of ordinary people. At this time, he simply took the initiative to kneel down and shouted loudly: "Villain Liu Chengming, knock on His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Your Majesty, Hail Blessed! ”
I think back then, when he and Li Luo first met, they were in Chuandeng Temple. At that time, Li Luo was still a little person who relied on the protection of the Chuandeng Temple to survive.
But now, Li Luo occupies the entire south and becomes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, fighting against the Great Yuan.
What's even worse is that the Liu family offended such a character, and they were offended to death.
How is he not afraid? Don't regret it?
Of course, what he regretted was not that he had offended Li Luo, but that he regretted not killing Li Luo back then.
Li Luo looked at Liu Chengming, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and couldn't help but think of what happened back then.
The Liu family back then was very arrogant.
"Liu Chengming, how did you occupy my hidden mansion?" Li Luo said coldly.
When Liu Chengming heard the word "Qiandi", he knew that he was no longer lucky, and he fainted with fright as soon as he rolled his eyes.
"The Liu clan occupies the hidden mansion, plotting against each other, and is mad... All men are beheaded, and women are slaves! Slaves are freed, private soldiers are slaves! Confiscation of family property! Li Luo said unceremoniously.
The Liu family, father and son, are not good people.
With an order, the Liu family, who had dominated Jianghua Island for many years, was raided and destroyed.
More than a dozen men from the Liu family were killed, and hundreds of thousands of taels of family wealth were confiscated. The savings of the Liu family for many years have been cheaper for Li Luo.
After the Liu clan was destroyed, the Shou Lin Feng of Jianghua County hurriedly came to pay a visit. The previous county guard Zheng Lu was no longer an official in Jianghua. The current county guard Lin Feng is also from a family, of course he knows that Li Luo is here to occupy Jianghua, where does he dare not to surrender?
"In Xia Lin Feng, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Lin Xian Shangjianghua's household registration atlas, "This is the household register of this county, please ask His Majesty the Tang Emperor to take a look." ”
Li Luo picked up a household booklet, "Do you want me to let you go back to the mainland?" ”
Obviously, judging from Lin Feng's name for him, the other party was unwilling to work for him, otherwise he would not be called 'His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty'.
But that's fine. Lin Feng is an official from a family background, and Li Luo doesn't like to use it.
"Yes. In the next family, Xiaodu is in Jinzhou, please ask His Majesty the Tang Emperor to allow him to resign and return to the north. Lin Feng replied cautiously.
"Exactly." Li Luo was too lazy to deal with Lin Feng again.
Hmph, I'll take down the whole of Goryeo then, and see where you're going. If you don't serve me now, you will regret that you didn't serve me today.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Lin Feng thanked him, he didn't dare to stay longer for a moment and crossed the sea to return to the north, and threw Jianghua Island to Li Luo.
Li Luo occupied Ganghwa Island, implemented the Juntian Order, recruited sailors, gave relief to the people, built Taoist temples, and formed yamen at all levels, and was busy for a while.
Jianghua County was changed to Jianghua County, with ten townships and township offices.
Before leaving Jianghua, Li Luo went to the dilapidated courtyard again.
The courtyard has been completely flooded with weeds. As soon as the people approached, wild birds fluttered up, and a hare fled in panic.
It's really "a rabbit enters from a dog's sinus, and a pheasant flies from a beam".
After the guards cleaned up, Li Luo was able to enter.
He came to the house where he lived with Cui Xiuning back then, looked at the fire pond, looked at the clay pot hanging on the fire pond, and looked at the big kang, and couldn't help but think of the things of that year.
It was in this humble and shabby courtyard that he and her spent the most difficult months since they came to this world.
Li Luo sat alone on the big kang and suddenly felt very lonely.
Even if he led a large army and guards, he was still very lonely. Because, there is one less person around.
"Spread the decree to the local townspeople, take care of this yard, don't let it grow weeds, don't let it collapse." Li Luo ordered.
"Yes!" The guards received the order and immediately went to inform the newly appointed village chief.
Li Luo patted the big kang and said in a low voice: "Xiuning, if there is a chance, we can stay here for a few more days." ”
At night, Li Luo returned to Lijiawu Fort and went to the room where he and Cui Xiuning were back then, and found that he had been harmed by Liu Chenming beyond recognition, and he couldn't find his original appearance at all.
Many generals from Yuan Cong, when they saw the military camp in the dock fort, they couldn't help but have moist eyes.
They remembered running around the yard. At that time, the happiest thing was to have a meal.
Over the years, many of the Xiangyong who were trained in this courtyard are now gone, and they have become the names of the Zhongwu Shrine, and maybe the souls will come back here to see it.
"Light Summer." Li Luo looked at the former training ground and couldn't help but think of Guangxia, the loyal and upright Jurchen man.
"Your Majesty, I am worried and sad, please don't miss Jiandehou anymore, Your Majesty." Yan Falcon, the general who accompanied the expedition, said.
Yan Falcon has now become the commander of the firearms brigade, and he is really a general.
Li Luo nodded, "Back then, your father, Utu, Guangxia, and Hugu were the first to follow me. Guangxia and I are earlier than you and Yan Tong and me. ”
Li Luo didn't want to stay in the dock fort, so he went outside to relax, and everywhere he went was a crowd of kneeling to greet him. After the implementation of the Juntian Order, the people's support for Li Luo reached the point of no return.
After a while, I came to a familiar place: Song Kee Store.
When the shopkeeper Song saw Li Luo, he was immediately frightened as if he had been burned by a soldering iron, and immediately jumped up and crawled over and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Song Dongqiao, grass people, meet Your Majesty Smecta, meet Your Majesty Smecta......"
His head thumped on the ground, and his body went limp, for fear of provoking the crime of bullying the king.
Li Luo smiled dumbly. This shopkeeper Song was also an acquaintance at the beginning. It's a pity that when he was at his most difficult, he didn't dare to bet.
"Arise, and do not be afraid. You are also my old friend. Li Luo said very gently.
The shopkeeper Song was pardoned, and hurriedly thanked: "Yes, yes, Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" But he still didn't dare to get up.
At this time, how is it possible to say that he does not regret it?
If he had been more generous and sent charcoal in the snow, the Song family would have soared.
Li Luo saw the Song family kowtowing again and again, his face turned pale, and he was probably scared of them, so he simply rewarded them with something.
In this life, what glory and wealth, success or failure, gain and loss, is actually a chance.
"When it arrives, it is white and horizontal, and when it is transported, it will be the ship", this is the truth.
The next day, Li Luo left Jianghua and set sail south. At this point, it's mid-June.
The Tang fleet went south, and the cavalry of the Yuan army along the coast expected the Tang army to land and fight. However, the Tang army did not land, which made them sigh with admiration.
…………
"Boom-boom-boom-"
"Woo-woo-woo-"
The salute roared, the horn sounded, the riverside honor guard was brilliant, the bells and drums rang in unison, solemn and lively.
"The concubine greets Your Majesty's triumph!"
"Sons and daughters greet His Majesty the Emperor and Father in triumph!"
"Ministers greet Your Majesty's triumph, long live long live long live!"
At the Jiangling Wharf on June 28, Cui Xiuning was leading the crown prince Li Zheng and the minister of civil and military affairs, under the pretext of the Son of Heaven's law, to welcome Li Luo's return to the dynasty.
Li Luo walked out of the cabin in civilian clothes and waved his hand: "Flatten!" After speaking, he took Cui Xiuning's outstretched hand, "Zitong has worked hard." ”
Cui Xiuning said with a smile: "Your Majesty has worked the saddle horse, so it is really hard." ”
Then, Li Luo touched Li Zheng, who was full of admiration and longing, "What book did my son read?" ”
Li Zheng replied in a milky voice: "I read the surnames of the hundred families with my eldest father, and I read "Shengyun Yin Reading" with my mother. ”
The so-called "Shengyun Reading" is actually the pinyin alphabet made by Li Luo and Cui Xiuning, which is used for enlightenment education. After children have learned "Shengyun Yin Reading", they can formally learn literacy.
At this time, all the ministers leveled down together and respectfully invited Li Luo to return to the palace. Li Luo took Cui Xiuning to the law, and returned to the palace in a majestic manner surrounded by ministers and guards.
The emperor returned to the dynasty in triumph, newly acquired Yingzhou and Jianghua County, and increased the population by more than 5 million, making the Tang Dynasty reach 15 states.
Silu Langzhong immediately recorded: In 3984 in Huaxia, in May of the second year of Hongwu, Yingzhou and Jianghua County were collected. Expanding the land for thousands of miles, it has won more than 5.56 million people.
"This trip is an armed parade, and it will be the same if you go there. It's seasickness, and my brain exploded. In Longzhang Palace, Li Luo was only wearing a middle coat, barefoot, and his head was crooked in Cui Xiuning's arms.
Cui Xiuning pressed his head and asked, "Are you better?" This acupuncture point, isn't it very numb? ”
Li Luo snorted, "Think I don't have it?" You have been widowed for half a year, what a poor woman. ”
"I pity the yarn." Cui Xiuning scolded with a smile, "You are a nymphomaniac." In the Yuelu Mountain case, 60,000 people were executed. have become killers, still pitiful? ”
The man didn't speak, but he turned around and pounced, knocking the woman down.
"I'll go!" Not to be outdone, the woman immediately twisted together.
After a long time, the man got up with relish.
"You're the devil." The woman muttered.
"It's not that you don't know how ferocious a man who has been hungry for half a year is." The man said.
A snow-white foot girl reached over and kicked him, and at the same time the woman's dissatisfied voice came, "You think I'm afraid of you?" I'm worried I might get pregnant again. Damn, I've become a fertility tool, slave. ”
The man grabbed her ankle, scratched her and smiled, "I'm also your slave." Let it be, even if you are pregnant, it will be the last child. ”
"Don't scratch me." The woman withdrew her foot, revealing a face as red as a begonia that had not receded, "Let's get down to business, the summer grain harvest is good, are you going to use troops against Guanzhong?" ”
The man touched the woman's earlobe, "Send troops in August and take Guanzhong in October." ”
The woman nodded, "Okay." I'm ready when you're away. Just go ahead and you're done. ”
The man said: "This strategic deception is impossible to hide from Uncle Kublai Khan." No matter how loud we attack the west, he can guess that our main direction of attack is not Huaibei, but Guanzhong. ”
"Therefore, the key to this battle is to fight quickly. Before the Yuan court reacted, it first attacked Guanzhong, blocked Tongguan, and prevented the main cavalry of the Yuan army from entering Guanzhong. ”
The woman said, "It depends on whether that move can come in handy." If it doesn't work, you must be mentally prepared for failure when attacking Guanzhong. ”
The man laughed, "I know. Come on, chick, give me a smile. ”
"Boy, climb one for my sister."
"Chick, you are very arrogant, believe it or not, use troops against you first?"
"Afraid of you? Let the horses come! Do you really think you have horns on your head? ”
…………
After Li Luo returned to the court, the ministers remembered that it was time to give the monarch the title of honor.
However, to the regret of Wen Tianxiang, Zheng Sixiao and others, the saint has already been honored in Yingzhou, which is equivalent to the first prize of the Shangzun title, and the group of newly naturalized Yingzhou officials have taken the lead.
They also gave His Majesty the honorific title of "Great Benevolence and Holy Emperor".
The Great Benevolence and the Most Holy are indeed good, but the problem is that it is from the officials of Yingzhou.
Therefore, after discussing with the Ministry of Rites, Wen Tianxiang, Lin Biju, Yang Hanming and other ministers decided to add the words "Wencheng Wuyun" to Li Luo.
That is, "Wencheng Wuyun Daren Holy Emperor". It's already eight words!
The world has only taken half of it, and the honorific title has been added to eight words, which is also very helpless.
At the same time, they also have to give Queen Cui Xiuning the honorific title "Wencheng Yide", that is, Empress Wencheng.
Li Luo and Cui Xiuning resigned twice, but the ministers insisted on it, and the two could only reluctantly accept it.
Therefore, according to the rules, whenever the New Year's Festival is celebrated, the congratulatory watch given by the imperial court to Li Luo can no longer be "His Majesty the Emperor", but must be "His Majesty the Holy Emperor of Wencheng Wuyun Daren".
Similarly, on such a grand occasion, Cui Xiuning is no longer called "Her Majesty the Queen", but must be "Her Majesty Empress Wencheng Yide".
It's a courtesy. The honorific name is not the name of the temple and the temple name, and the honorific name is used in this way.
Datang opened up its territory and expanded its territory and acquired a new state and county, which is of course a major national event and must be congratulated.
According to the Tang system, there is no right to play below the third grade. But even so, there are more than 100 pieces of praise on the table.
ps: Crab crab support, good night everyone. Take care of your !!
