Chapter 373: Goryeo Rebellion
Liangshan is a lot of heroes, Jiang De in order to prevent these men from becoming infighting, built a lot of rings, and allowed the sergeants below to challenge their superiors, as long as the challenge is victorious and more than half of the sergeants in their own army are supported, they can be promoted.
Therefore, this ring is never idle, as long as it is open time, there are often people competing on it, and there will be many sergeants under the ring to watch.
But this time, there were a lot of onlookers, and it was no wonder who even the owner of the village, who was rarely seen on weekdays, appeared in the ring.
"Brother Wu Song, Brother Mu Hong, are you fighting fists and feet or blades?" Jiang De stood in the middle of the ring and asked the two on the left and right.
Mu Hong thought that this Wu Song was half of the senior brother of the owner of the village, if he was really injured, his face would definitely not look good, as long as he defeated him with his fists and feet, and let everyone in Liangshan look up to our brothers, he said, "In the future, they will all be brothers on the mountain, I think it is better than fists and feet." β
Wu Song was drinking Zhenghuan with a wine jug at this time, he really had never drunk such a spirit, and after taking a sip, he felt that he was not drinking wine, but fire, but such a refreshing feeling made him fall in love with it at once, he gulped a small jar of wine, threw the jar back, and said, "Okay!" It's like punches and kicks~burp~"
Mu Hong looked at Wu Song as if he was a little drunk, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he looked at Jiang De, Jiang De nodded, waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's over, let's start!" β
Saying that, Jiang De toe lightly and flew off the ring, Mu Hong saw that Wu Song did not move, so he made the first move, ahhh
The two of them fought each other several times in a row, Mu Hong couldn't hold on any longer, and he took a few steps backwards before unloading Wu Song's strength. His right hand trembled slightly, and it was clear that he had suffered a big loss.
Wu Song saw that Mu Hong had retreated, so he took the first step and kicked straight with his left foot, Mu Hong could only block with his left hand, but found that Wu Song's foot was extremely light, since it was a false move.
"Not good!" Mu Hong, as a tyrant of a place, has a lot of combat experience, and he knew that he was fooled immediately, and sure enough, Wu Song turned around, turned his back to Mu Hong, and flexibly drilled between his arms like an ape. The left foot reached forward, the big arm was raised, the body contracted like a bow, leaning back hard, where Mu Hong parried with one hand, the burly body fell two steps away like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground.
"Iron Mountain?" Jiang De touched his chin, and felt that Wu Song's move was actually very similar to the Tie Shanlian of Bajiquan in later generations, and he was a little drunk with the meaning of boxing, and this horse Wu Song really deserved his reputation.
Wu Song in the ring smiled and said, "Can you still get up?" β
Mu Hong struggled for a moment and stood up again, only to feel that his left and right hands were a little weak, and then he knew how powerful Wu Song was.
Jiang De saw that Wu Song had the upper hand in three or two clicks, and felt that it was almost over, so he smiled and said, "Two brothers, it's okay, Brother Mu Hong, Brother Wu Song once killed a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes on Jingyang Gang empty-handed, that fist is a real iron fist, you will fight him hard in the first move, and you will suffer, right?"
But you can actually stand up so quickly after eating such a slam from Brother Wu Song, and you are also a good man. β
The Liangshan sergeant below heard Jiang De say that Wu Song killed a white-fronted tiger with his bare hands, and he was frightened, and then looked at Mu Hong, and then he also felt that Mu Hong had lost unjustly, and if he could kill the tiger's fist with his bare hands, he was no longer a human fist, and it was not easy for Mu Hong to fight with such a monster for several rounds.
Mu Hong was still a little lost, but when he heard Jiang De say this, he was immediately not disappointed, there are a few monsters in the world who killed the tiger with his bare hands, and it is normal for him to lose, and he can fight with such a monster for more than a dozen rounds, doesn't he say that he is at least as powerful as the tiger?
Jiang De took advantage of the heat and appointed Wu Song as the commander of the battalion, Mu Hong and Mu Chun as the deputies, Zhang Shun and Li Jun as the commanders of the Shui Junquan battalion, Tong Wei and Tong Meng as the deputies, and first trained for a month in order to familiarize several people with the military discipline and military regulations of Liangshan, and then promoted after they had meritorious service in the future.
Everyone thanked and retreated, Jiang De returned to the justice hall, and Chao Gai and others sat next to him in turn.
"Brother Shixiu, you should have come into contact with the new Yunzhou prefect when you went down the mountain this time, how is this person?" Xu Guanzhong asked first.
Shi Xiu replied, "After I arrived in Yunzhou, I inquired in many ways, but this Lord Chen is a good official, and after arriving in Yunzhou, he did not loot, nor did he frame and accept bribes at will. β
Jiang De nodded, and said to Xu Guanzhong, "I remember that this Chen Wenzhao is a disciple of the Taishi, and now he is placed in Yunzhou, obviously to put a nail in our Liangshan, what should you think?" β
Chao Gai first said, "This Chen Wenzhao would be easy to do if he was a corrupt official, but he is a good official, and there are not many good officials these days..."
Chao Gai's meaning is very simple, good officials cannot be killed.
Gongsun Sheng made a joke and said, "This Chen Wenzhao has gained a lot of reputation in less than three months since he arrived in Yunzhou, and the people have praised him. β
Xu Guanzhong agreed, "Mr. Gongsun thinks the same as me, I also know some of this Chen Wenzhao, he is honest in his life, virtuous and wise, is a wise official, and is extremely grateful, and the Taishi is kind to him, if you want to attack the heart, it is not easy." β
Jiang De closed his eyes and recalled, he remembered that this Chen Wenzhao appeared in two books, one was Water Margin, and the other was Jin Zhumei, both books said that he was sympathetic to Wu Song and took action, but it was written in more detail in the book Jin Zhumei, saying that after Cai Jing ordered him to stop overturning the case, he fell silent, although I don't know whether he was because of Cai Jing's official position or because of Cai Jing's kindness, but it can be seen that this person is indeed a conscience official.
Jiang De opened his eyes and said, "Okay, then don't touch him, it's still the original plan, the countryside surrounds the city, and all the countryside is included in my Liangshan's hands, and Yun, Qi, Zi, and Qing are naturally in my Liangshan's hands." β
As he was talking, three people came in outside, one of whom was helped in, and at first glance it was a spy who rode a fast horse to report the news.
"What's wrong?" Xu Guanzhong asked.
"The little one was sent by Wu Junshi to deliver the letter!" The man handed over the letter, Xu Guanzhong took it and looked at it, and handed it to Jiang De after confirming that it was correct.
Jiang De took it and opened it, it was a thick stack, so he looked at it one by one, and after a while, everyone read it.
"I didn't expect Goryeo to have civil strife!" Jiang De shook his head and said, "Our Senior Commander Lu has just conquered the entire Dry Leaf Island, and now Goryeo is in chaos again, it seems that God will help me to wait!" β
It turned out that because of the emergence of the Jeju Island Free Trade Zone, the real power and magnates in various parts of Goryeo recruited troops and horses to build ships to go to sea for trade, and Wu Yong provoked control from it, so that the sea trade fleet of the King of Goryeo could not make much money every time, and several families with a heart of disobedience were making money every day. Especially Zheng Wancai, the head of the Zheng family who was taken care of by Wu Yong, not only earned a lot of money, but also got a divine object, which was found in a cave when his family was hunting, and the four words of the Zheng family as the king were written in the artifact, if it is an engraved word, it is not a divine object, but these four words are embedded in a crystal, this is a natural thing, Zheng Wancai's ambition instantly exploded.
After getting the artifact, Zheng Wancai deliberately recruited soldiers, although he tried to cover up this matter, but under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, Wang Yu still knew about it.
Wang Yu was originally extremely dissatisfied with the results of the sea trade, and now he knew that these nobles actually used the interests of the sea trade to recruit troops and prepare for rebellion, and he was completely angry, but after all, he was a person who had been the king of Goryeo for many years, and he knew that he must not be impulsive at this time, so he first cleaned up from the good families of the Zheng family in Haizhou.
But Wang Mata still underestimated the power and madness of these local nobles, or under the threat of death, everyone was willing to fight for the last time, and the sergeants sent by Wang Mata to arrest people were all killed by the local nobles in one day, and the civil strife in Goryeo completely began.
Goryeo said that it was not big, it was not small, and the army was naturally quite a lot, but the central army that was really controlled by Wang Mata was actually only 60,000 or 70,000 people, while the local army and armed forces were 3 or 400,000.
Of course, all this needs a process, according to Wu Yong's judgment, as long as Wang Yu's army cannot win completely, wait until next year, Goryeo will inevitably usher in a situation where the local government is against the central government, and if Wang Mata is defeated, then next year, Goryeo will fall into a situation of separation.
The suggestion in Wu's letter was to ask Kang Deok to send troops to Jeju Island, and once there was a change in Goryeo, he could quickly land and destroy the country and annex the territory.
Jiang De looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?" β
Zhu Wu said, "Owner of the village, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, at least 10,000 people must be transferred to Jeju Island first." β
Gongsun Sheng was in charge of the internal service, he calculated it, and said distressedly, "The garrison is outside, and the cost is not small, I think it is better to send Division Commander Lu's headquarters to Jeju Island, so that we not only do not need to send more manpower, but will also reduce consumption." β
"That's true." Jiang De nodded and said, after all, there is no external enemy on Dry Leaf Island, and those neighboring Jurchens are now trying their best to deal with the Liao, and they will not invade Dead Leaf Island at all, and Hokkaido below Dry Leaf Island will not be any threat.
"My lord, although our army is numerous, it has more training and less actual combat, Xiaosheng thinks that I should let my Liangshan soldiers and horses take turns to fight, it is better to transfer back most of the men and horses of Division Commander Lu's department, and send another general to Jeju." Xu Guanzhong looked at Jiang De and said meaningfully.
Jiang De understood what Xu Guanzhong meant, he was worried that all the big battles were fought by Lu Junyi, which might cause Lu Junyi to be overwhelmed, rather than worrying in the future, it was better to erase such a possibility in the early stage.
Jiang De closed his eyes and thought about it, and finally said, "The preparations for the Lotus Supermarket have reached the end, don't think about money, Zhu Wu, how many soldiers and horses is our army now?" β
Zhu Wu came out and said, "Back to the village, in addition to overseas soldiers and horses, I still have more than 26,000 available soldiers in Liangshan, and if you call the militia from all over the country, there can be 40,000 usable people!" β
The so-called militia Zhuangke is like Hujiazhuang or other villages that obey Liangshan, these villages will regularly organize strong men to perform martial arts according to Liangshan's requirements, and Liangshan will also send soldiers to teach their martial arts, although it is only some simple arrangement training, but the most important thing is that these strong men will listen to the military attachΓ© who teaches to hear the message that Liangshan robs the rich and helps the poor, and walks for the heavens, and sees the demeanor of Liangshan sergeants, so as to further return to Liangshan, and the same military training as Liangshan will also make them as long as they need it. You can replenish the Liangshan army as quickly as possible.
"Summoned Lu Junyi, transferred Lu Junyi and Dong Ping to return to the mountain, and his soldiers and horses chose to stay behind, and ordered Li Ying to take Grimace to Dry Leaf Island to guard, Li Ying was originally the owner of the village, with governance experience and martial arts, and he could suppress the scene.
Transfer another hundred Tianxiang Academy students to Withered Leaf Island, with these people as the backbone, Withered Leaf Island will inevitably become our rear base!
The first battle of the Battle of Goryeo was a water battle, so that Ruan Xiaoer, Huang Da, Zhang Shun, Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng led the water army first, and the rest of the troops followed, and the head led Niu Gao, Li Zhong, Hu Sanniang, Xu Ning, Pang Wanchun, Huang Xin, Wei Dingguo, Wei Dingguo, and several people, 3,000 water troops, 10,000 infantry horses, and sent troops to Jeju Island! In addition, Du Qian and Song Wan were sent to escort the grain road, and Luan Tingyu was the envoy to the grain road, so there must be no mistake!
This battle, for the war of destroying the country, I want to go out in person, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu will go with me, and the cottage will be handed over to the lord of Chaozhai and Mr. Gongsun."
"Obey!"
The military order, the four directions of the clouds, but these changes are in Liangshan, the Song Dynasty court actually did not know about this, because Huang Da led the water army to serve Liangshan, so that the Liangshan army also expanded to more than 10,000 people, although many of them are not good fighters, but there is no problem in transporting soldiers and horses, grain and grass, more importantly, most of the imperial court soldiers and horses on the Jishui waterway are the old departments of Huang Da and others, naturally after receiving the benefits, they opened their eyes and closed their eyes, watching countless grains, grasses, soldiers and horses transported overseas.
