Chapter 382: The Decisive Battle Is Coming (9,000 Words)
ββOutside Haizhou
Tuo Junjing looked at the two letters on the table, and didn't know how to make a decision for a long time.
"Lord Totong, you call me?" A scribe walked in and said to Tuo Junjing.
Tuo Junjing saw that it was Shen Caihao, nodded and said, "Sit, you should also know about the chaos in Kaijing." β
Shin Chae-ho didn't hide it, and said, "The Venerable Master has already sent a letter, but I didn't expect that Li Gong would actually collude with the people of Jeju Island, but it is difficult to make a decision at this time?" β
"Hehe, look at it, these are two letters from Kaijing and Xijing, and the conditions are good."
Shin Chae-ho didn't expect Tuo Junjing to trust him so much, and he was a little overwhelmed all of a sudden, and he didn't know whether to read the two letters.
"You and I are grasshoppers on a rope, for the sake of these tens of thousands of people, look at it." Tuo Junjing waved his hand and urged.
Shen Caihao smiled, first opened Xijing's secret decree and looked at it, and after a long time, he put it down and said, "The king actually made the general a general?" This is the extreme position of a military general... If it weren't for the king's seal, I would have thought it was a fake. β
After speaking, Shen Caihao opened Kaijing's letter again, smiled and said, "Li Gong's letter talks a lot about his personal feelings with Lord Dutong, as for the official position, he simply says that it is only under it, and he does not dare to promise it directly, it seems that Li Gong is not so proud as he imagined in Kaijing." β
Tuo Junjing sighed and said, "Duke Li is as kind to me as a mountain, and I can have today, it can be said that it is all the work of Duke Li, but I am a courtier of Goryeo, and the king's sincerity is so much, it is really difficult for me to decide." β
Shen Caihao stood up and turned around twice, and then said, "Dutong, Li Gong is a minister, and the king is a king, not to mention the loss of opening Beijing, there are many coincidences, as long as the king is in the camp step by step, Li Gong must not be an opponent."
Besides, if the king dares to give the position of the general of the capital, can Li Gong do it?
If the current Kaijing is really Li Gong's master, but now Li Gong is just a minister of others, why not be a minister of the king? According to the following opinion, it is the best policy to immediately write to Xijing and lead the army in Pyongju to resist Li Gong's army on Jeju Island. β
Tuo Junjing snorted, then picked up the secret decree, played with it and said, "You say, why is the king so urgent? β
Shen Caihao blinked, and reacted, "Du Tong thinks that the king thinks that with his current strength, he can't defeat Li Gong?" β
Tuo Junjing pointed to the west and said, "We have also fought with the army on Jeju Island several times in the past few days, what do you think?" β
Shin Chae-ho said honestly, "The Jeju Island Army has high morale, is well-equipped, well-trained, and the soldiers are united, but it is a strong enemy, so we are not as good as it." β
Tuo Junjing said again: "Do you know that there are tens of thousands of Jeju Island troops in Nakaijing City, and this will be a fierce battle." β
Shen Caihao wanted to say something, but Tuo Junjing laughed and said, "But it is precisely because of the fierceness of the enemy army that my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have an effect, I decided not to enter Xijing and move to Huangzhou, what do you think?" β
Shen Caihao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Good plan, this place is located between Xijing and Kaijing, and the battle line is in Pingzhou, no matter what the battle situation in Pingzhou is, our army can sit back and watch the success or failure." As long as the general is in the army, the king will definitely not take the general's military power, and as long as there are soldiers at this time, there will be everything! β
Tuo Junjing touched his beard and said, "Pass the order." β
Shen Caihao retreated, and after Shen Caihao left, Tuo Junjing wrote another letter, called his personal guard, and asked him to carry the letter to Kaijing.
-- Kaijing
Jiang De walked on the road to Kaijing, looked at the streets of Kaijing, which had resumed its liveliness, and nodded with satisfaction, "Li Ziqian, those people are doing well, Kaijing is almost as lively as the county town in the Central Plains, it's really rare." β
"Li Ziqian has been able to stay in a high position for so many years, and his ability is naturally not bad, but most of this heart was used in places where it shouldn't be used before." Xu Guanzhong looked at a group of Goryeo sergeants passing by and said, "Now more than half of the people patrolling the streets are Goryeo sergeants, but we have liberated a lot of our strength." β
"What are you doing? We are on patrol, who allowed you to speak! A shout attracted the attention of many people, because this person spoke Chinese, Jiang De looked and saw a man in a Liangshan military uniform reprimanding a Goryeo soldier, and the Goryeo army squad leader next to him was stammering an interpreter.
"This should be the instructor we planted in the Goryeo army, to be honest, these Goryeo sergeants are poorly trained and poorly equipped, we have tested it in the army, and we only need two people to break through the Goryeo thousand-man array. But their archers are very good, especially the archers of Lijiawu Fort, Pang Wanchun has tested, and they are even more powerful than our archers, and they are all elite soldiers who have shot more than a thousand arrows. Xu Guanzhong explained.
"Goryeo is good at shooting, but it's good. How did Li Ziqian arrange these archers? Jiang De asked.
The Korean bow is famous on the Blue Star, and even in the various bow competitions in later generations, the players on the Korean Peninsula are proud of the world.
"Li Ziqian expressed his willingness to let these archers under our command, but hoped that they would not be scattered, and his reason was that these archers could only be used intensively to burst out with maximum combat power." Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.
"It's understandable, promise him, besides, how many city princes in various places have expressed their willingness to surrender now?" Jiang De said as he continued walking.
"Not much, most places are waiting." Xu Guanzhong said, "However, Wang Yu's actions are frequent, first he issued an edict against himself, and then ordered the state capitals to send troops to Qin Wang, and now more than 30,000 soldiers have gathered in Pingzhou. β
"Don't worry, we can't delay too much time in Goryeo, since Wang Mata wants to defend first, we will settle down in the rear first, and when Wang Mata concentrates his forces together, we will destroy their living forces in one go, leaving 8,000 soldiers and horses here, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will all attack, and all the counties south of Kaekyung and west of Chungju will be destroyed! Remember, we must mobilize the local Goryeo soldiers, only then can we increase our military strength. β
"But I'm afraid it's still a lot of wait-and-see, I'm afraid these people will become invisible bombs in the future!" Xu Guanzhong said worriedly, "In the past, Liu Han was so prosperous, but he was swallowed up by those big families. β
"Then find a way to force out those who don't want to obey!" A trace of fierceness flashed in Jiang De's eyes, the Goryeo nobles were dead, and he would not frown.
"Lord, there is something in the palace, please return quickly!" At this time, a person ran over and whispered, Jiang De hummed and walked towards the palace.
Coming to the main hall of the palace, Jiang De said with annoyance, "This palace is not suitable for office at all, you have to walk here for a while, I think I still put the office in the military village." β
"The lord is really not an ordinary person." Wu Yong smiled bitterly, and then said, "The envoys of the Liao State have asked to see us several times, and they have already found out our origins, saying that it is a great crime for us to attack Goryeo without authorization, and they want to write to Zhao Ji to sue us." β
"Who is it?" Jiang De asked.
"The leader is called Xiao Zunli."
"Who is this?"
Xu Guanzhong said: "This person is an official of the Ministry of Rites of the Liao State, and he originally came to Goryeo to urge Goryeo to send troops to attack the rear of the Jin State. β
Jiang De snorted and said, "As far as the combat effectiveness of these people in Goryeo is concerned, if they are sent to fight with the Jin State, that is, they will be sent to death, not to mention that Goryeo has always known the way of a small country, and now the Jin State has defeated the Liao State and retreated, I am afraid that if it is killed, it will not send troops to offend the Jin State for the Liao State." β
"The lord is wise, eight years ago, Wang Yu sent an army of 200,000 to conquer the Jurchens, but was defeated by the Jurchens with the help of geographical advantages, not only lost the army, but also lost even the nine cities of the border fortress." It was Li Ziqian who spoke, as a representative of the old Goryeo aristocracy, and he worked quite hard during this time.
"Lord, speaking of which, if our army defeats the Goryeo army again, I am afraid that Goryeo will borrow gold soldiers to enter the customs." Wu Yong suddenly thought and said, "After all, Goryeo and Jin are still brothers. β
When Wang Mata sent troops to attack the Jurchens before, although the Jurchens defeated Goryeo, they also agreed that the Jurchens would not invade Goryeo for generations, and pay tribute every year, until two years ago, when Agu raised troops, the Jurchens stopped paying tribute to Goryeo, but the relationship in the previous years was still there, if Wang Mata really felt dangerous, borrowing troops was an inevitable choice.
"Hmm... Mr. Xu, you have come to write a letter to greet Aguta in my name, and express our hope that we will live in peace with the Kingdom of Jin in the future, and at the same time propose that after our army conquers Goryeo, we can use Goryeo and its large-scale trade. β
Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "The lord does this, and it will not be easy for Wang Yu to fight the soldiers." After all, there is still the great enemy of Liao in front of Ah Guda. β
Wu Yong suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, my lord, why don't we do it and keep going, catch the envoys of the Liao State and give them to the Jin State to show our sincerity?" β
Jiang De thought about it and felt reasonable, so he said, "Okay, Wu Junshi, you go and do it, as long as he is unwilling to surrender, he will be arrested and sent to the Jin Kingdom, if he expresses his willingness to surrender, let him write a letter to Yelu Yanxi scolding Xiao Duoli for committing adultery with his brothers Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Baoxian." β
Li Ziqian couldn't help but feel a chill behind him when he heard this, Jiang De's trick was too ruthless, that Xiao Duoli was lazy but the queen of Yelu Yanxi, and she was very respected, if it was such a letter, then Xiao Zunli's whole family's heads would probably have to move, which was forcing Xiao Zunli to die. β
There is no way, Jiang De's kindness is definitely not aimed at the enemy.
Li Ziqian swallowed his saliva, took out a letter, stepped forward, handed it above his head and said, "Lord, the old minister is incompetent, then Tuo Junjing went to Xijing." β
Xu Guanzhong took it, opened it and looked at it, and then handed it to Jiang De, Jiang De swept his eyes and hummed, "The army is unstable, stationed in Huangzhou, openly voted for Wang Yu, and secretly communicated with Li Gong, but it is a good rhetoric, this person is not credible." β
"The Lord is wise!" Li Ziqian said with some shame: "The old minister thought that this son was my confidant, but he didn't expect to know people and faces, but he didn't know his heart." β
Jiang De comforted, "It's okay, the next time this person is captured, Li Gong will kill him personally, Li Gong, I just have something to discuss with you." β
Li Ziqian bowed and said, "The Lord commands that." β
"Now Wang Yu is hoarding strength, preparing for a decisive battle with our army, the big war is imminent, the stability of the rear is the most important, I pre-send the army to pacify the rear prefectures, Li Gong and I analyze, where to attack, where to convince."
This is really Li Ziqian's strong point, Li Ziqian immediately helped Zhu Wu and others analyze the identity and character of the nobles and vassals in various places, and arranged the troops in a targeted manner, and it was not until late at night that Li Ziqian returned home.
"Father, it's not good, do you know what those Song people said in the army?" As soon as he got home, Li Ziqian heard Li Zhimei shouting loudly.
"What did you say?" Li Ziqian closed his eyes and said, "People who are all in the age of establishment, why are they still frizzy and frizzy, and they are not in the climate?" β
Li Zhizhi crooked her mouth, and then said, "Those Song people take those sergeants to train in the army, and I don't know how these Song people get it, there are so many knowledge in a battle stand, and most of our sergeants can't hold on, so they are afraid of those Song people, and those Song people give qualified sergeants good food and drink, even if they are unqualified, most of them can eat enough, which has grace, and takes them to sing, our sergeants are so graceful and powerful, and the military heart is about to be scattered!"
The most terrible thing is that these Song people are carrying out what they are carrying out to remember the bitter and sweet, saying how hard life was under the rule of Wang Yu, only a small number of people have a good life, and most people can't even afford to eat meat. β
"That's right." Li Ziqian nodded and agreed, "These Song people can defeat the official army in the Song Realm and force the Emperor of the Song State to be canonized as officials, it is conceivable that they have the ability, and since they sent instructors to our army, I expected these consequences." β
Li Zhizhi sighed and continued, "If this is the case, it would be fine, these Song people also said that it is the common people who do things, and the common people who suffer, why is this, this is because the common people have been unjustly exploited, and they also say that they want to divide the land and let the common people of Goryeo live a good life."
Father, listen, these Song people want to divide the fields! Who has the most land in the world? Isn't the royal family our Li family? This is to divide our fields! Father, we must be more vigilant against these Song people! β
"Do they really say that?" Li Ziqian asked suspiciously.
"But that's the case, father, now that all the families are secretly connected, if these Song people really want to divide the land, I'm afraid it will be a big mess soon!" Li Zhizhi whispered, "It's better to..."
"Smack!" Li Zhimei was stunned, and Li Ziqian actually slapped him.
"I advise you to think less about this, do you think that these people's actions can be concealed from the Lord? Besides, you yourself say, what did those sergeants think when they heard these words? β
Li Zhimei swallowed her saliva and said, "They are all very happy, and some are still anxious to ask when they can hit their hometown, and they all want to go home and divide the fields." β
The corners of Li Ziqian's eyes twitched and said, "That's it, a division of the field is enough to disperse the hearts of most of our subordinates, and I can say that this division of the field will start soon, as long as it starts, those who are soldiers will only follow these Song people with one heart.... This is a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. β
After speaking, Li Ziqian smiled bitterly and said, "But this method can only be used by these Song people, we can't do it, and neither can Wang Yu..."
Li Zhizhi immediately became anxious, he crawled in front of Li Ziqian and said, "Father, if this is really the case, our Li family will be finished!" β
Li Ziqian rubbed his brows, it turned out that he was still proud and complacent because he had always been in a high position, but a series of things during this period of time made him have to rein in, it can be said that the original Li Ziqian who returned to the first family of Goryeo with the Li family is back.
"It's impossible for us to throw themselves into the imperial court anymore, Wang Yu won't allow our Li family to continue to survive, we can only go one way to the end!" Li Ziqian's eyes firmed, "This Jiang Xinzhi is not simple, he actually dares to kill the wealthy family and divide the land, this is something that has not been done for a thousand years, I dare to say that as long as he can go on, the future achievements are definitely not something that a Goryeo can pretend." β
Li Zhimei didn't expect Li Ziqian to have so much confidence in these Song people, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, in fact, in his heart, although the Song people were culturally prosperous, they lacked martial arts, and they didn't dare to fight back when they were bullied, so they didn't deserve respect at all.
Yes, although the Song people were good to Goryeo, Goryeo didn't really respect the Song people.
In order to welcome the Goryeo envoys, Song Shenzong ordered the "Goryeo Pavilion" to be built to receive them on the route traveled by the Goryeo envoys. As soon as the Goryeo envoys set foot on the land of the Song Dynasty, they were received by the embassy and waited for the accompanying envoys, and there were pavilions along the road to wait for the Goryeo envoys. It can be said that it did the best, but what about the Koreans? Seeing that the Song people were so good to them, they thought that they had caught the handle of the Song Dynasty's diplomacy, and they were arrogant everywhere, and even used the name of tribute to conduct business and trade, so that Su Shi couldn't stand it, and wanted to write to dissuade Song Shenzong from befriending Goryeo.
Li Ziqian continued, "My Li family was able to become the first nobleman in Goryeo in the past, and I will also become the first person under the Lord in the future. β
"What? That's going to divide the land! Li Zhimei feels like she is going crazy, is there still a family owner in this world who has divided his family? Did your father fall for some kind of witchcraft?
Li Ziqian smiled and said, "Idiot, what do you know? As long as you are powerful, what are these fields? What's more, even if there is no land, isn't my Li family the Li family? Besides, have you forgotten how Jeju Island flourished? Money will come from the sea and from caravans! Take 10,000 steps back and say, as long as our Li family's land is returned to the Li family, isn't it still our Li family? β
Li Zhizhi didn't react at once, Li Ziqian shook his head, knowing that Li Zhimei couldn't stand alone, and he had to continue to support the Li family.
ββ
"What? Li Ziqian ordered Li Jiawu Fort to start dividing the land? Jiang De listened to Xu Guanzhong's report and felt a little incredible.
"It seems that it is our practice of remembering the bittersweet memories of the Korean people in the army that makes Li Ziqian feel something, my lord, I think Li Ziqian can be completely trusted."
"Hmm... I remember that Li Ziqian had a son named Li Zhimei, and asked him to take 5,000 people to the expedition, telling Li Ziqian that as long as his son can make military achievements, it will not be a problem to be a marquis and a general in the future. β
This is really not to fool Li Ziqian, as an old Goryeo nobleman who is a part of the future political map, it is necessary to have a few high-ranking officials.
That's politics.
"My lord, once we start to divide the land, I'm afraid that the Goryeo nobles will all throw themselves into the royal family, and when the war starts, our pressure will not be small." Zhu Wu came out of the ranks and said, "Soldiers, bully the weak with the crowd, bully the weak with the strong, although our army is strong, but the number is too small, it is better to destroy the king first, and then carry out reforms." β
"What Brother Zhu Wu said makes sense, as long as the movement on our side spreads, the number of troops in Wang Yu's hands will increase to at least more than 150,000, and private troops from all over the country will gather in Xijing, and there will be a lot of trouble when the war starts." Wu Yong also agreed and said.
Jiang De stood up and spun around twice, and then said, "No, our goal is not a small Goryeo, our energy can't be wasted on dealing with these rats, if you want to choose, I'd rather work harder now, and I want a Goryeo without so many opposition." β
Now that Jiang De has made a choice, then everyone can only find a way to solve the hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Goryeo troops that may appear in the future.
"If this is the case, our army needs a large number of new ordnance, and if we can't win by numbers, we can only win by quality, especially the artillery, if there are thousands of guns, the Goryeo army has nothing to worry about!" Zhu Wu's words almost made Jiang De fall.
"I said my good military division, a thousand guns? You talk to Gongsun Sheng to see if he will fight with you with his loose sword. Jiang De said with a wry smile, "But what you said is also reasonable, this artillery is the god of war, whether it is a field battle or a siege in the future, it is urgently needed, or let the artillery of the naval division go ashore, anyway, the Goryeo naval division has been completely wiped out." β
"No, whether it is Goryeo, Xijing or Pingzhou and other places, there are rivers flowing through the sea, and our army's naval division will become our army's wonder soldiers in the future, and it must not be weakened." Zhu Wu shook his head and said.
In terms of military deployment, Jiang De still believes in Zhu Wu very much, since Zhu Wu said this, he must have a plan, so he could only helplessly say, "It's too late for Gongsun Shengyun artillery to come, so it can only be newly built on the spot, fortunately, Wang Yu ran fast, and the craftsmen in Kaijing were not taken away, I hope that there can be a few skilled craftsmen here." β
Li Ziqian was rumored to the palace again, and when he heard Jiang De say that craftsmen were required to build weapons, he actively said, "Lord, I am good at making bows in Gaoli, and there are many skilled craftsmen, so the old minister immediately summoned them." β
Jiang De nodded and continued, "In addition, a large amount of charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter are needed, can there be a workshop in Goryeo to produce it?" β
Li Ziqian thought for a while and said, "Charcoal is easy to say, but there is not much sulfur in Goryeo, most of it is purchased from the Japanese country, and as for saltpeter, it was originally used for medicinal materials and ice making, but there are a lot of them." β
"Well, you can find a way to collect charcoal and saltpeter with all your might, and as for the sulfur, I will send someone to buy it from the Wa country." Kang Deok clapped his hands and said, there are a lot of Japanese merchants in Jeju Island, and it is easy to buy some sulfur.
"Yes!" Li Ziqian said happily that being able to send him a job is a sign of trusting him.
"And... I've heard about you, do it well, I keep it in mind, Goryeo will only become more and more prosperous in the future, whether it is commerce or workshop, there are opportunities, you have to take advantage of it. Jiang De clicked on Li Ziqian, which made Li Ziqian even more excited, he knew that his treasure pressure was right!
Jiang Dechang let out a sigh, the most difficult thing about artillery is the manufacture of the artillery body, and now that time is pressing, it seems that he has to use points to exchange for materials.
Jiang De closed his eyes and entered his system, and after occupying Kaijing and other places, a large number of points were credited to his account, so it was not distressing for Jiang De to exchange for qualified steel, but how to turn these steels into artillery was for the craftsmen of Goryeo to find a way.
- Two months later, Xijing
"King Qizuo, according to the report, the Song thief Jiang Xinzhi and the traitor Li Ziqian and others acted perversely in Kaijing, and they were even more plagued by the surrounding states and counties, they not only bewitched the people to besiege the nobles in various places, but also divided the fields of the nobles in various places, so that everyone in the nobles around the country was resentful of them, and looked forward to the king getting rid of the traitors as soon as possible, and also a bright and prosperous country in Goryeo, the ministers thought that the time had come to kill the thieves!" Wang Zizhi fell to the ground and shouted loudly, there are many ministers with him, these ministers have families in the southern prefecture and county, and now, the fields are divided, and the family wealth is scattered, it can be said that there is a hundred hatreds for Jiang De and Li Ziqian in their hearts.
"King Qizuo, our army has gathered more than 120,000 troops in Pingzhou, Huangzhou and other places, countless money and food, it can be said that the soldiers are good enough to eat, and we should start a war as soon as possible in order not to break the spirit of our army!" Another minister said.
"The minister seconded the proposal, those traitors ignore the ancient precepts, do not value the scholars, do not value benevolence and righteousness, but the way to death, and should be destroyed as soon as possible!"
"The ministers seconded it!"
Wang Yu looked at the attitude of the ministers below, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, in the past two months, it was really good news for him, first of all, the Jeju Island Army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but scattered to attack the city and conquer the land, so that he could relieve his breath, and then the decision to open Beijing was wrong, what good can it be to divide the land and divide the land? It's just that he has won over those mud legs, but the sergeants, money, food, and the right to speak are all in the hands of the gentry, what can the mud legs do? You can farm!
Now these nobles and gentry are much more loyal than before, not only no longer stumbling on him, but even constantly sending money and goods, and even a lot of private troops.
Wang Yu is a little grateful to Jiang De, Li Ziqian and others.
After two months, Wang Yu also found out clearly, knowing that the Jeju Island army on the opposite side was actually Jiang De and others from the Song Kingdom, and he also wanted to write to Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty and let Zhao Ji order Jiang De to withdraw the army, but he had no way to contact the Song State by water, and as for taking the land route, the time was not ordinarily long.
You must know that at this time, the Jin State has started a new round of attacks on the Liao State, and without exception, this time the Liao State is losing and retreating one after another, and even sometimes Wang Yu will wonder if the Liao State, which has been founded for hundreds of years, is really going to end.
So Goryeo, which is only two years away from the founding of the Liao State, will it follow in its footsteps? Could it be that a new round of chaos is really about to start in this world?
But fortunately, the heavens have not turned their backs on Goryeo, look, aren't these rebellions just death now?
"Good! In this case, Lone decided to go on a personal expedition! Wang Yu patted his thigh and said excitedly.
"The king shall not, Mencius said, those who know their fate do not stand under the rock wall. What's more, Li Ziqian and other traitors can do anything, they need to be discussed by the king himself, so it is better to punish the general and wait for good news. Wang Zizhi said dissuasively.
Admiral? Wang Yu looked at one of the people in the court, then shook his head, and said, "This battle is a battle that will determine the life and death of my Goryeo, and Lone must go!" Ordered Tuo Junjing to lead an army of 50,000 to be stationed in Niufeng County, and Lone personally led the Divine Cavalry, Shenbu, Demon Suppression and other armies to Pingzhou, and fought to the death with the thief army! β
"Yes!"
As soon as the Goryeo army moved, Jiang De in Kaijing immediately knew, in two months, with the help of Li Ziqian, Jiang De captured the Central Plains, Henan, Annam, Shannan, Jeolla and other large areas of land, occupying half the size of later Korea, Jiang De's Goryeo army also expanded to more than 50,000 people, but most of them were new troops who had just joined, although because of the division of fields, full of fighting spirit, but the combat quality was very low.
But these people liberated Jiang De's large amount of military strength, and the military strength he had at his disposal in Goryeo at this time was close to 100,000, which was enough to fight Wang Yu head-on.
In the palace of Kaijing City, Jiang De was wearing battle armor under the service of Huadiao.
"Alright." Hua Diao said with a smile, Jiang De was wearing a black fish scale soft armor at this time, and he was extremely energetic.
In the days of Kaijing, Huadiao and a few other female generals were very happy, after all, no matter how good Liangshan is, there is still only a corner of the place, unlike Kaijing, which is the capital and a foreign country, everything is new.
"Do you think I'm handsome or is your brother Huarong handsome?" Jiang De looked in the mirror and asked with satisfaction.
"Of course my brother is the most handsome!" Hua Diao snorted and said.
"Cut, guy who doesn't know how to appreciate." Jiang De stinked and said, "This battle is the biggest battle we have ever fought, be careful on the battlefield." β
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Huadiao picked up the sword placed next to him, gestured and said, Jiang De shook his head helplessly, he meant that Huadiao should not fight too hard, in the military array, there were countless brave generals who died, not to mention that Huadiao was just a half-hanger.
Jiang De came to the lobby, the Goryeo officials and the leader of Liangshan stood on both sides, and when they saw Jiang De coming in, they all stopped talking and stood up, Jiang De came to the throne and sat down, the throne was naturally Wang Mata's fourth son, Wang Ni, the four-year-old still didn't know anything, and he was playing with the Rubik's Cube in his hand, not to mention how happy he was.
Jiang De looked at the crowd for a while, and then said, "Everyone, this battle is a battle that will determine our future and destiny, and I will first ask Brother Zhu Wu to introduce the military situation." β
Someone next to him had already pushed a wooden plank up, Zhu Wu took out a picture and hung it on it, and then said to everyone, "Brothers, according to intelligence, Wang Yu ordered Tuo Junjing's 50,000 troops to move to Niufeng County, which is the high ground, and there are mountains behind it, so that they can directly attack our capital or threaten the flank of our army at any time.
He himself personally led the main force, known as 100,000, to gather in Pingzhou and prepare for a decisive battle with our army.
Of these 100,000, less than 50,000 were former Goryeo soldiers, and the rest were captured people or private armies of nobles from all over the country.
It is worth noting that among the 100,000 troops is the Northern Army, which is preparing for war all year round, and there is also the only heavy cavalry in the Goryeo Army, which is extremely combative. β
"What heavy cavalry, it didn't touch me Hu Yanzhuo!" Hu Yanzhuo touched his beard and snorted, "Lord, please make me the vanguard in this battle!" β
"General, don't worry, where is the reason for heavy cavalry to be the vanguard? Lord, please make me a pioneer! Dong Ping said.
Then, every word you say, every word I say, I want to ask for battle, Jiang De, who is watching, nodded again and again, and then said with a smile, "Brothers, don't worry, this battle is a big battle of 200,000 people, and everyone has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." β
Only then did everyone stop arguing, Jiang De motioned to Zhu Wu to continue, and Zhu Wu continued, "There is one more unit in the Goryeo army to pay attention to, and that is the Beiwu class. β
"Li Ziqian, you are the original Prime Minister of Goryeo, you know best, don't be a martial arts class, you can talk about it." Jiang De interrupted Zhu Wu and said.
Li Ziqian stepped forward and began to introduce, "The Beiwu class is the fourth year of the Qiantong, Wang Yu felt that the military strength of Goryeo was too poor, and ordered Yin Qian to form an elite army, this army is composed of divine cavalry, divine step, demon subjugation and other armies, well-equipped and well-trained, in the past, Yin Qian was to take them to fight with the Jurchens and win the battle, after Wang Yu gave up the nine cities, but this army was only reduced, not disbanded, and now the whole army is about more than 10,000, in fact, the heavy cavalry mentioned before is also in the other martial arts class. β
Jiang De smiled and said, "Although the enemy army is numerous, most of them are rabble, as long as you are careful to fight, it is not difficult to win" As he said, Jiang De looked at a person on the side and asked, "How much artillery has been built in the past few months?" β
It was a Goryeo man in ordinary clothes, this man looked to be in his forties, the man said with some fear, "Back to the Lord, it is not easy to produce artillery, I waited for day and night processing, but only produced more than 30 usable artillery..."
"More than thirty, too little." Zhu Wu said dissatisfied, but what he didn't know was that due to the unqualified Goryeo steel, these more than 30 artillery pieces were all made of steel directly exchanged by Jiang De, and the quality was better than that built by his Gongsun Sheng.
The man fell to his knees in fright, trembling all over, and kept kowtowing and screaming for mercy. Everyone who watched was stunned, and Jiang De said with a wry smile, "I don't mean to blame you, everyone, this is Jin Wuting, a master craftsman from Goryeo, he is a little timid, don't scare him."
In just two months, Jin Wuting was able to build the artillery, which was already a great achievement. Jin Wuting stepped forward to listen to the seal! β
Jin Wuting stood up with peace of mind, Jiang De continued, "Jin Wuting led everyone to develop artillery within two months, for great merit, a reward of 100 yuan, as the director of the Kaicheng Arsenal, enjoy regimental treatment, the rest of the craftsmen worked hard for two months, and they were rewarded with 20 yuan, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded with another 50 yuan. β
Jin Wuting was stunned for a while, and then excitedly bowed to the tunnel, "Long live the Lord!" Long live the Lord! β
Many Goryeo ministers looked at him enviously, this regimental treatment means that Jin Wuting is not an official of Goryeo, but an official of the Song people, and even Li Ziqian can't be too arrogant in front of him in the future, and even some ministers began to think about whether to find a daughter in their clan to marry this upstart.
Jiang De and the others digested it, and then said, "Jin Wuting, this artillery will continue to be built, and our artillery training is also constantly lagging behind, we can only let people wait for the cannon, not let the cannon wait for others!" β
"Yes!"
Jiang De nodded, stood up and shouted, "Okay!" Listen to the generals! β
"Huh!"
"Leave Xu Guanzhong, Wu Yong, Li Ziqian, Huang Xin, Li Zhong and 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Kaijing, and the rest of the soldiers and horses, all of them will go to Pingzhou with me, where is it, and Wang Yu will fight against each other!"
"Fight it out! Fight it out! β
Jiang De looked at Li Ziqian and said, "Li Gong, Wang Yu has been in power for many years, and there are many people with bad intentions in Kaijing, Li Gongde is highly respected, and he has been in Kaijing for many years. β
Li Ziqian said excitedly, "Thank you Lord, please rest assured, the old man will do his best to dispatch money, food and materials, so that the Lord will not worry about money, food and materials."
