Chapter 35: A New Journey

The next morning, Seok Luosheng led his army to the outside of Jeju City, only to see that the city gate was wide open, and there was no city defense army stationed on the city wall. Shi Luosheng looked at Wang Lun very puzzled and asked, "What's the situation?" Could it be that Zhang Mancheng lured me into being fooled by his empty city scheme, or did he give up resistance and abandon the city and flee? ”

Wang Lun was also confused: "I don't understand, why don't you send a few people in first?" ”

Just when everyone was puzzled, two people walked out of the city, one after the other, and the one behind everyone knew each other, and it was the housekeeper Yu of the Taishou Mansion.

Liu Zixuan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Steward Yu, what is the situation, Mrs. Zhang is guarding people?" ”

Before the housekeeper could answer, the man who walked in front replied: "Lord Taiwei received news that Jeju Taishou Zhang Mancheng intended to rebel, and sent General Ben to find out the truth, and after General Ben investigated and collected evidence, Steward Yu of Taishou Mansion also confirmed the fact that Zhang Mancheng rebelled, and now Zhang Mancheng has been executed by General Ben, and General Ben is about to go back to report to Lord Taiwei." ”

Liu Zixuan asked suspiciously: "What is the name of this general?" Liu Zixuan in the Lower General's Mansion. ”

The man arched his hand and said, "Xu Wenzhe in the Lower Taiwei Mansion." ”

Shi Luosheng heard the conversation between the two, and stepped forward and said: "We came to quell the Jeju rebellion on the order of the general, but I didn't expect that Lord Taiwei also received the news, and we killed Zhang Mancheng one step faster, I really admire it, and I also congratulate General Xu on this great achievement." ”

Xu Wenzhe said with a smile: "Your Excellency must be General Shi, in Xia Jiu Yang General's name, General Shi has pacified the bandits that have plagued Dongshan for many years in less than half a year, which is also gratifying." I am in a hurry to go back to my life, so I won't talk to you more, and I will visit you after returning to Jianye and say goodbye. ”

Looking at the back of Xu Wenzhe leaving, Wang Lun couldn't help but admire: "Lord Taiwei's hand is really not simple, we have calculated everything, and all the preparations in the early stage have been done, but if it is missed, Taiwei Tian will actually get rid of Zhang Mancheng first." ”

Guo Xu on the side also chimed in: "Needless to say, this must be that Yin Ruoyang must have sent someone back to Jianye to tell Taiwei Tian that Zhang Mancheng was going to rebel before he went to Dongshan to find General Liu, otherwise how could Taiwei Tian know so quickly." ”

Shi Luosheng nodded and said: "Tian Yulong is also worthy of being the imperial lieutenant, this move not only left himself clean, but also earned a reputation for quelling the rebellion, this old fox does have a lot of places worth learning from." ”

While the three of them were talking, Liu Zixuan suddenly said, "Hey, who sent the troops over there?" ”

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, the dust was rolling in the distance, and an army was galloping towards Jeju City.

"Isn't that big brother?" Shi Luosheng fixed his eyes and saw that the general led by him was Deng Wenying, the eldest son of the general Deng Yuanjue.

"Luosheng, my father knew the news that Zhang Mancheng was going to rebel, and sent me to help you, and it just so happened that we joined forces and took Jeju City together." Deng Wenying saw that Shi Luosheng's army had just arrived at Jeju City, and thought that the war had not yet begun.

Shi Luosheng smiled bitterly: "Big brother, you are late, the rebellion has been quelled by the people sent by Captain Tian." Shi Luosheng told Tian Yulong about sending Xu Wenzhe to assassinate Zhang Mancheng.

Deng Wenying was a little unhappy: "This old fox, the news is quite well-informed, he shoots quickly and ruthlessly, and he also kills the person he pulls out with his hand, and I am still one step slower than him day and night." ”

Shi Luosheng thought for a while and said: "The matter of counterinsurgency has been preempted by Tian Yulong, and there is one more thing that must not be preempted by others." Big brother, you still have to work hard, now hurry back and let your father-in-law sponsor Mr. Guo Xu Guo as the new Jeju City Taishou. Now that Jeju has been stationed in Jeju for half a year, he knows all aspects of Jeju very well, and the policies he implements are also deeply loved by the local people. ”

Deng Wenying felt that it made sense, and said happily: "Okay, then I won't go into the city anymore, it's more important to deal with the matter of Jeju Taishou." I'll go back now and tell my father what you're saying. After speaking, he arched his hand at Guo Xu and said, "Mr. Guo, Wen Ying congratulated you in advance, and when I had good news, I said goodbye." ”

Deng Wenying ran back and forth on both sides with an army of 30,000 troops, without making an inch, and was originally unhappy, but now when he heard that there was a chance to take the position of Jeju Taishou, he left all those unhappiness behind. You must know that although the Deng family is one of the five great families of the Great Song Dynasty, the Deng family's sphere of influence has always been in the army, and none of the local officials have gone out from the Deng family.

Jeju Taishou Zhang Mancheng has died, and now there is no chief official in the city, and Shi Luosheng himself is the commander-in-chief of the bandits in the Dongshan area, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, before the new chief official takes office, Jeju is temporarily taken over by Shi Luosheng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jeju City is the capital of Dongsan, and the Yanghu County under its jurisdiction is backed by the sea, so it has a natural geographical advantage, and Jeju should have a prosperous population, developed commerce, and rich people. But since Zhang Mancheng took office, he has collected the people's fat and ointment everywhere, and the people have fished and fleshed. Over the years, people have been displaced, fields have been barren, and people's livelihoods have withered. Now that Jang Man-sung's rebellion has been put down, our first task is to restore production for the people, and I intend to hand it over to Mr. Kwok in charge of everything in Jeju City, and when the general is officially appointed by the imperial court, Mr. Kwok will be the rightful Jeju Fortress Taishou. "Seok Nak-seung convened the generals at Taeshoufu to discuss how to govern Jeju next.

Shi Luosheng said to Xun Yuqing again: "There are still 20,000 city defense troops in Jeju, but this army lacks training in peacetime and has low combat effectiveness. ”

"In addition, I plan to report to the general to set up a naval army in Xianghu, and the Qi State also has a naval army, but our Great Song Dynasty has not. Jeju is close to the sea, and we also have to guard against future enemies from the sea, and I plan to use the 3,000 forbidden troops we brought with us as the team, and the others will be selected from the surrender of the five camps, and this aspect will be handed over to Dong Liang. ”

In the end, Shi Luosheng looked at Liu Zixuan and Wang Lun and said: "Before the general summons me back to Jianye, I still have a private matter to do, and I need the help of the two of you for this matter, and I hope the two of you can agree." ”

Liu Zixuan and Wang Lun glanced at each other suspiciously, knowing that it was Shi Luosheng's private matter, so they didn't ask in front of everyone, and nodded directly as agreed.

A few days later, Shi Luosheng and others appeared in Xianghu, and Liu Zixuan asked: "Luosheng, why did you bring us to Xianghu, is what you want to do has anything to do with Xianghu?" ”

Shi Luosheng said with a smile: "Behind the Elephant Lake is the sea, I once heard Mr. Wang say that there is an island not far from the Elephant Lake, and the island is deserted and populated because of the large number of fierce beasts. But at the same time, the island is extremely beautiful and rich in products, so it is a pity not to take advantage of such a good place. ”

Liu Zixuan said strangely: "Take advantage of it? Are you going to build a sailor base on it? ”

Shi Luosheng nodded and said: "It's almost this kind of idea, but it's not a water master base, but a sect, the time is almost up, they should also arrive, let's go first." ”

Liu Zixuan looked at Wang Lun with inquiring eyes, who is coming? How recently the Ascension God is mysterious. Wang Lun shook his head, he didn't know what Shi Luosheng was going to do.

The two followed Shi Luosheng to the beach, Dong Liang was already waiting at the pier, and when he saw Shi Luosheng coming over, he said: "General, the boat is ready, those two are already waiting on the ship, we can go to sea at any time." ”

Shi Luosheng smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go to sea now and go to that uninhabited desert island to have a look." ”

At this time, a familiar voice came from the cabin: "Luosheng, Zixuan, why did you call us to the sea this time?" ”

Two people came out of the cabin, and it was Ling Zhen who spoke, and naturally Shi Zhen was next to him.

Shi Luosheng was very happy to see the two, and jumped on the boat and said to the two: "Teacher, you are here." Let's go to the uninhabited desert island first, and then talk about the next step. ”

Two hours later, everyone landed on the uninhabited island, Shi Luosheng led everyone to walk around, the area of this island is indeed not small, the land on the island is fertile, and crops can be cultivated. There are also several naturally occurring freshwater lakes with drinking water that can accommodate 100,000 people.

After a circle, Shi Luosheng said: "This island is really good, hundreds of years ago, it was called Haitong Island during the reign of the Chu State, and later the Great Song Dynasty became independent from the Chu State, and Haitong Island should also belong to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty." However, since the independence of the Great Song Dynasty, the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Chu State has not stopped, and the Great Song Dynasty is tired of dealing with the war on land, and there is no time to take care of the sea. After a long time, Haitong Island has become what it is now, there are more than a dozen islands like Haitong Island in this area, but most of them are occupied by nearby pirates, and now few people in the DPRK and China probably know that there are still these islands overseas. ”

Shi Zhen asked, "Luosheng, do you mean that you want to rebuild this island?" But the Great Song Dynasty has only been peaceful for three years, and I am afraid that I don't have the energy to govern this isolated island. ”

Shi Luosheng shook his head and said: "Since this island has long been abandoned by the Great Song Dynasty, it is naturally an ownerless thing now, since it is an ownerless thing, rather than being occupied by other maritime forces in the future, it is better for us to use it now and establish an armed force of our own on it." ”

Everyone present was shocked when they heard Shi Luosheng's words, and Shi Yu asked in surprise: "Do you want to stand on your own?" ”

(It's a new journey, everyone add a collection)
