Chapter 483: Wishful Thinking
"This Gong clan is too obsessed with it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control! I'm a little worried that when the time comes, I'll give them weapons and armor, but I'm afraid that when they get fuller, they will bite us in turn! After all, their ultimate goal is only to restore the country! ”
Hearing Hu Cheng's concern, Zhu Wu also nodded, and said: "It's just using each other, they want to use us to help them restore the country, why didn't we use him to solve the problem of insufficient manpower for us?" What is it? This is what the military master said about the party leading the way!
And there is also an advantage, didn't the Goryeo generals who surrendered to us before deliberately conceal the matter of the horse husbandry? This is not really committed to us, and still wants to leave a way back for themselves, but at the same time, there is no fear, after all, we are not familiar with the place here, and we need the locals to be the leading party, and we can't do anything with them.
Now, the Gong clan has surrendered to us with 20,000 or 30,000 horses, and we can not only use them to surrender to the Goryeo, but if they still want to ride the wall and leave a way back for themselves, we can also beat them vigorously, such as finding a reason to kill chickens and monkeys, such as punishing them with hard labor.
In short, in the past, there was only one group of leading parties, and they dared to deliberately deceive us, but now there are two groups of leading parties, and they can supervise and compete with each other, and the benefits are not the slightest bit.
As for the worry you mentioned, we really have to be on guard against it as soon as possible, and then it will be up to us who has the better means!
But this is an accident, tomorrow we will all deduce the possible actions of the Gong clan, discuss how to deal with it when the time comes, and then write a letter to report this matter to the military master......"
Zhu Wu didn't believe Gong Bo at all, Gong Bo's side, when he came to a small manor outside Licheng Port and ordered several generals to immediately gather most of the hidden men and horses to prepare for the incident, and after the people left, a retainer who looked like a think tank also expressed his distrust of the Huaxia army.
"Did the master really make up his mind to do so? I don't think these Song people want to use us to take advantage of them. At this time, the master will gather all the lurking people and horses, once there is a discord, I am afraid that there will be no way out! ”
Gong Bo's face was gloomy, his eyes were gloomy, and he sighed when he heard the words, and said, "How can I not know this?" It's just that as soon as the Song people come, where do we have a way out? If you don't submit your name immediately at this time, I'm afraid that you won't have a chance in the future! ”
The think tank was a little puzzled, in his mind, the Song Dynasty came here, if it could really destroy the Wang Goryeo, the peninsula would be in chaos, it was a good opportunity for the master to raise troops and raise troops, how could he say that there was no way back and no chance?
Seeing that he still couldn't understand, there were only two of them left in the room at this time, and Gong Bo also said what he was thinking and worrying about.
"I know what you think in your heart, originally I thought the same, this time the Song army came to Goryeo is a good opportunity for us to do something, after all, although the Song people are strong, but it is a foreign invasion, unpopular, and it is bound to not stay in Goryeo for a long time.
Just like the Khitans, sooner or later they will be driven out by us. When the time comes, the peninsula is bound to be in chaos, and it is a great opportunity for us to raise troops to restore the country, do you think so? ”
The man nodded: "Little dull, it is indeed like this. ”
"But I didn't expect these Song people to be completely different from the Khitans!"
Gong Bo's face changed, revealing an unbelievable expression, and he sighed: "They are not at all as weak as the Khitans say, but they are extremely brave and good at fighting. However, after conquering Licheng Port, they did not burn and loot like the Khitans, they broke into the grass valley from house to house, robbed money, grain, women, and all the spoils, and killed men when they saw ......them."
After a pause, Gong Bo said in a ridiculous and unspeakable manner: "They did not commit any offence against the poor people, not only did they not rob them, but instead sent troops to distribute grain, refined salt and other items to these poor people from house to house; At the same time, he also sent people to maintain order in the city, and some ruffians who dared to take advantage of the chaos to rob were all arrested and read out their responsibilities in public and beheaded for public display.
When the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty heard that three or four percent of our people here were slaves and sluts of the law, he was shocked and heartbroken, and sent them to rescue the people and hang them.
What did the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty say, from today onwards, all slaves and maids will be restored to the status of free people, and now those slaves and maids in the city are grateful to them one by one......
What is it? This is to show the slaves, maids, sluts, and poor tenants of the Goryeo population that they are not invaders, but the heavenly soldiers of the Heavenly Empire, the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, who have come to save them from the sea of misery and make them human beings again, the great savior! ”
The wise man finally understood at this time, and said: "In this way, although these Song people will be resisted to the death by the Goryeo nobles, they will be firmly supported by the poor and slaves with the largest population, and they will change from foreign invaders to saviors from the Heavenly Empire, and win the support of the poor and slaves, and occupy the hearts and minds of the people and righteousness. ”
Gong Bo nodded, speaking of which, the reason why their Gong clan was able to gather twenty or thirty thousand people in secret was not the legacy of their ancestor Gong descendants, these people still remembered the Later Goguryeo Kingdom and wanted to restore the country.
In fact, it was because most of them were poor, and they were forced to live almost no longer, and they were just bewitched by themselves and their nephew Gongfu, thinking that they could make them live a good life.
In addition to the poor who can't get by, there are also some careerists, big landlords and petty officials, who are also confused by their own doctrines, and once they do something, they are willing to sacrifice their slaves and maids to help them succeed.
But no matter what the situation is, what he relies on is actually these poor tenants and slaves and sluts, and now that the Song people are here, they have won the support of these people with this trick. Once the people of the Song Kingdom can really let them live a good life, who will rebel with them at that time?
What's more, these Song people took advantage of the Goryeo people's desire to be the subjects of a great country, saying that as long as they sincerely serve Huaxia, everyone can be Chinese and become the people of the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire will protect them and will not let them be bullied.
In this way, in addition to winning over many poor people and slaves, he also won the hearts of most of the two classes who were not nobles, the good class, and many Goryeo prisoners of war.
I have to say that this hand is indeed extremely clever, once they let these Song people gain a firm foothold here, not only will the peninsula not be in chaos, but will soon settle down, and then the Gong clan will only be afraid that it will be many times more difficult than before.
However, there is no need to talk to him about these things in detail, since he already has some understanding, Gong Bo will stop at the point, and then say: "It is because I have the opportunity to make a decision to present the name as soon as possible, first ask the Song people for twenty or thirty thousand sets of weapons and armor, and when the things are in hand, when we are growing in our wings, we will find a way to get out of the control of the Song people, and take advantage of the opportunity that the Song people are not familiar with the place and the Goryeo troops are not attached, we will occupy the city, and it is useless to fight the Goryeo authorities, and we will lead everyone to resist the invasion of the foreigners, The banner of restoring the glory of Goguryeo ......"
