"Now that the hostages have been delivered, I wonder if the Lord of the Lin Army has reverted to continuing the expedition against the Western Thieves?"

In the face of the cautious temptation of He Li, Zhang Shuye and others, Lin Chong smiled heartily: "Naturally, I am willing, but it will take another month before I can set off." First, this time we have reduced so much, so naturally it will take some time to absorb the integration;

Second, I won't hide it from you, before my Liangshan army conquered seven cities in the Liao State, hundreds of thousands of Han people in the north were annexed, and we have to find a way to take them out. Well, by the way, I have news for you......"

Several people were a little puzzled, and then General Lu handed the information in his hand to Zhang Shuye, and said: "We also just got the news, just yesterday, 15,000 sailors from Jiankang Mansion in Jinling came across the sea and marched to the border of Qizhou in the Beiqing River, and were blocked by our Liangshan army. ”

Zhang Shuye quickly glanced at the military report, his face was a little ugly, but then he thought that this was also something that could be expected, the Liangshan army had hidden its strength before, and it was not surprising that the imperial court had such a big defeat.

The important thing is that after this defeat, the imperial court can come to its senses, be able to abandon party strife and infighting, and really work hard to make the country prosperous, on the one hand, it can refresh the situation of the court, and on the other hand, it can train a capable soldier and horse, which is not too bad.

Zhang Shuye immediately handed the general report to He Li, looked at Lin Chong and said, "How is Lin Jiedu going to settle these Han people in Liaodi?" ”

Lin Chong and General Lu glanced at each other, feeling that since their strength was exposed, it would not hurt to be a little more high-profile.

Speaking of which, as long as the Liangshan army can successfully absorb the troops surrendered by the Liao State last time, the northern land surrendered to serve the Han people, and the imperial court surrendered troops this time, according to this momentum, it is enough to sweep the world by force alone.

It's just that force alone can't solve all problems, and the key lies in the hearts and minds of the people.

You must know that it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world, can you learn from the later generations that a certain dynasty first engaged in massacres to kill most of the bloody, and then engaged in literary prisons, and then implemented the policy of fooling the people and the policy of enslaving?

Liang Shanjun naturally couldn't do this, Lin Chong, Lu Jiang and others discussed for a long time, and felt that it was still necessary to use a dignified teacher, uphold the straight path in the chest and act on the right path in the world.

If you can crush it with absolute strength, try not to use means.

Since the center of the Yangsan army had unanimously decided to raise an army to attack Goryeo in the near future, it didn't matter if the news was told to the imperial court and the people of the world.

"I'm going to settle them all on Tamna Island at the southern tip of Goryeo first."

Zhang Shuye and the others were a little stunned, looking at Lin Chong's face full of incredulity, and then Lin Chong blinked his eyes and continued with a serious face: "Let me tell you the truth, during the time when I led the troops to the Western Thieves, the Liangshan Water Army had captured Tamluo Island and transported nearly 30,000 people to the island in two batches. ”

Zhang Shuye and He Li are okay, but Yu Shen is an old man who is nearly seventy years old, and his thinking is relatively conservative, and he can't help but exclaim when he hears this: "You guys...... How can you raise an unknown army and start a war lightly? ”

Speaking of which, this is also the inertia of the thinking of the great powers of the Chinese Celestial Empire, and everything always pays attention to the fact that a teacher is famous and justified.

In Yu Shen's mind, the Western Thieves were originally subordinates of the Great Song Dynasty, and later this group of robbers rebelled and stood on their own, and they did all kinds of evil for more than 100 years in the Northwest.

The Liao State occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun, making the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty unsafe to defend and strategically in a passive position; And although the Liao and Song Dynasty are called brothers, they are actually enemies, and the Liao State has been behind the thieves for more than 100 years; Moreover, just before, there were still many Liao people who secretly went south to fight grass valleys every year.

Therefore, although the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty to recover Yanyun from the Liao State was suspected of betraying the alliance, it was reasonable to say that it was reasonable.

But the Great Song Dynasty attacked Goryeo, but it was really a bit unspeakable, and it was simply a nameless army.

Although it was Liang Shanjun who really did all this, Yu Shen subconsciously thought that this account still had to be counted on the head of Da Song.

"What does it mean to start a war? In the small state of Goryeo, it is easy for my Liangshan military army to be destroyed; And Goryeo has always been a vassal country of China, but he rebelled against the lord to seek glory, and served Liao as Zhengshuo, so he refused to accept the king, and he could lead his troops to ask for it!

And the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo are immoral, and there are three or four percent of the slaves and maids in the Goryeo Kingdom who are regarded as slaves and maids who are more lawless than animals. Let me tell you the truth, this time we will go back and raise a large army, go straight to the capital of Goryeo, capture its chieftain alive, and ask for the guilt! ”

Although the three points Lin Chong said are all facts, in fact, there are still many loopholes if you really want to study them in detail.

For example, it was easy for the Liangshan army to destroy Goryeo, but in fact, Goryeo withstood the attack of 400,000 troops during the strong period of the Liao State, and defeated the attacks of 100,000 and 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao army many times;

Moreover, Goryeo did not take the initiative to betray the Great Song Dynasty and serve Liao as Zhengshuo, but was the result of the military oppression of the Liao State.

It's like Goryeo is the concubine of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Song Dynasty has no ability to protect the concubine, causing the concubine to be snatched away, what kind of face does the Great Song Dynasty have to ask the concubine in turn?

There is the last one, which is also a bit unreasonable.

Because from the pre-Qin period to the Tang Dynasty, China also had slaves and maids who were more lawful than animals.

It was only in the Song Dynasty that with the disappearance of the aristocratic landlord class, slaves and maids gradually disappeared, and were replaced by hired servants, maids, and villagers.

For example, Jin'er is a maid hired by Lin Chong's family, not the private property of the master's family like the Tang Dynasty, and can be bought and sold or even killed at will.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty hired slaves for a maximum of ten years, and at the end of the period, the slaves could regain their freedom and go wherever they wanted.

But in any case, the Song Dynasty could not use this reason to crusade against Goryeo. What's the matter with you!

"Arrogant, ridiculous......"

Yu Shen's face turned red all of a sudden, but Zhang Shuye and He Li's eyes gradually lit up.

Both of them felt that the Liangshan army was inflated, so it was good for them to run into a bloody battle on the battlefield of Goryeo, and the imperial court just took the opportunity to develop military training.

At that moment, the two of them hurriedly grabbed Yu Shen, and then heard He Li say to Lin Chong: "Lin Jiedu has such ambitions, raising the prestige of our country overseas, and the officials admire it!" I only hope that the Liangshan Army's expedition to Goryeo will be smooth sailing, and the horse will be successful, and the next official will wait for good news in Bianliang! ”

Zhang Shuye also asked: "Is Lin Jie really confident that the war in Goryeo will end in one month, and he will go out to fight the Western Thieves again in a month?" ”

Lin Chong nodded and said: "This time, we just went to pick up the Han people from Liao to Tamluo Island and Liangshanbo, and at the same time blitzed Goryeo Kaijing City, and captured Wang Jian's family alive to come to the Great Song Dynasty, it won't take much time." Just ......"

Lin Chong paused, and said with some worry in his eyes: "It's just that I'm a little worried that the imperial court didn't implement benevolent government before, and the expropriation was tyrannical, and the Fangtian Law, the Salt Tea Law, the Kutian Institute, and the Huashi Gang harmed countless people, and hundreds of people have been forced to become bandits."

This time the imperial court has been defeated so far, I am only afraid that by then, the Liangshan army has not yet expeditioned to the western thieves, and the territory of the Great Song Dynasty will already be full of smoke, and I also ask the imperial court to make early preparations, implement benevolent government as soon as possible, and try to nip the turmoil in the bud. ”
