Chapter 360: The Situation of the Great Song Dynasty
------------
Not to mention that Yan Zonghan led his soldiers and horses to leave the ancient grassland of Méng and return to Dajin Kingdom, and at the same time he could plan a full-scale attack on Goryeo. \、Qb⑸. C0m//Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen and others have entered the depths of the forest at this moment, and Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu and others converge, and everyone is naturally overjoyed to meet.
All the way forward, although the extreme north is cold, but the terrain is quite flat, although there are many trees, but there are also many grasses, méng ancient horses are far more adaptable to the harsh environment than other horses, so along the way, except for dozens of horses who fell ill, the rest of the horses are all normal, looking alive.
"Compared to the Khitan horse and the Xixia horse, the endurance of these méng ancient horses is much better!" When he was resting at night, Han Shizhong stroked the neck of a black horse beside him and said in admiration.
"How is it compared to Goryeoma?" Lu Zhishen said.
"Kolima is okay too...... In fact, the Korean horse is mainly an imported Liaodong horse breed, which is similar to the NV real horse, and the charging speed is very fast, but it is not conducive to long-distance travel. Han Shizhong said.
"nv Zhenren asked the Méng ancients to pay tribute to horses, and they must have a lot of Méng ancient horses in the future." Shi Xiu said.
"It's natural, these foreigners, they have a lot more horses than we do!" Han Shizhong said.
For those powerful foreigners, the number of horses is unimaginable, and what they lack is not horses, but people! If these foreigners could have the number of Han Chinese, plus their riding skills, plus those many horses, they would have conquered the world long ago.
Everyone was talking, and the brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng arrived, holding a few burned wild jiji in their hands and giving them to everyone, so that everyone could feast on them.
In the forests of the far north, there are many wild beasts, and a good hunter can take down countless prey every day. Therefore, this group of people in Liangshan did not encounter the problem of hunger along the way, and they changed all kinds of game meat to eat every day.
"Great monk, how is the situation in the Central Plains now?" Han Shizhong asked suddenly.
"The situation in the Central Plains is not very good, the people of Jiangnan have become more and more overwhelmed, I think that by the end of this year at the latest, the people of Jiangnan will revolt! In addition to the south of the Yangtze River, the Khitan people in the north are becoming more and more powerful in fighting grass valleys, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court do not dare to confront the Khitans, and the people in the north are also mourning. There are also the Western Xia people in the northwest, who are also eyeing the Great Song Dynasty, and may invade us at any time. Lu Zhishen said.
"Looking at the situation in the Central Plains, this is almost a sign of national destruction!" Han Shizhong sighed.
"***, if it was a few hundred years ago, the country would be destroyed, it would be a big deal to change the court, and then it would still be us Han people who would be the emperor, and we Han people would still be in charge of the world! But now, the foreign race is so powerful, there is the Khitan in the north, the Western Xia in the west, and the NV Zhenren in the north, and now if the Central Plains is destroyed, aren't these foreign tribes sitting in the world? Yang Xiong scolded.
"I hope we can be stronger in Liangshan! Now that we have conquered Goryeo, if one day, we can destroy NV Zhen and occupy Liaodong, then we will have the strength to truly win the Central Plains, and even if the Great Song Dynasty perishes, it will be the world of my Liangshan, not the world of foreign races! Han Shizhong said.
After staying in Liangshan for all these years, Han Shizhong's thinking finally changed. He is no longer loyal to the imperial court, but for the sake of the future of the entire Chinese and Han people. He now hoped that the imperial court would hold out for a few more years, at least until Liangshan occupied Liaodong.
"After we go back, we must train the army well and wait for the big war in the future." Yang Xiong said.
"Yes, that's it. By the way, Yang Xiong, I heard from the Metropolitan Governor that he intends to put you in charge of those Goryeo troops. Han Shizhong said.
"What? How so? Yang Xiong was obviously taken aback.
The so-called Goryeo army was the "Red Guards", and now the official name is the "Goryeo Second Army" to distinguish it from the "Goryeo First Army", which was composed entirely of Han Chinese. Whether it is Han Shizhong or Yang Xiong and others, they have never put this "Goryeo Second Legion" in their eyes, in the eyes of everyone, the so-called "Goryeo Second Legion" is just cannon fodder, and when it comes to the war with NV Zhenren in the future, these Goryeo people are used to send them to death, so they don't need to train too seriously, the main thing is to carry out round-the-clock propaganda work for them on weekdays, cultivate their absolute loyalty to Wu Dong, as long as they are not afraid of death and do not rebel.
It was hard for Yang Xiong to believe that he would be sent to the Second Goryeo Army and take charge of things there.
"Han Shizhong, are you talking nonsense?" Yang Xiong said.
"It's not nonsense, it's true." Han Shizhong said.
"How so? I'm the commander of the Fourth Army, and I'm in charge of the Koreans who don't have any combat effectiveness, what's going on? Yang Xiong frowned.
"When you go back, you can report to the Governor that you don't want to do such a thing. I believe that the Metropolitan Governor will not force you, right? Han Shizhong said.
"Well, when I get back, I'll definitely ask the Metropolitan Governor." Yang Xiong said a little sullenly.
The next morning, the crowd continued on their way.
On this day, everyone actually ran into a pack of wolves!
However, the wolves in the forest are far from being able to compare with the wolves on the grassland, their number is very small, only about 100, but these 100 wolves actually bit more than a dozen war horses, everyone hated in their hearts, and at this time they did not save bows and arrows.
Walking in the forest like this, because I was riding a horse, I was much faster than when I came.
It only took about 20 days for everyone to reach the easternmost edge of the forest, close to the sea.
"Look, there are a lot of houses over there!" Han Shizhong stood on a high slope and looked down.
"I'll go over there!" Shi Xiu said.
But before Shi Xiu could pass, the people over there had already noticed the situation here, and suddenly dozens of people came out of the house over there and headed towards this side.
"It's our Liangshan people!" By the time those people got closer and closer, Han Shizhong had already recognized the military uniforms on those people, so he immediately relaxed and said with a smile.
The dozens of people were getting closer and closer to everyone, and everyone saw the military uniforms on their bodies, but everyone's faces changed slightly.
Because the people who came were not only Han Chinese, but there were also people who were really dressed in NV among them.
"What's going on?" Han Shizhong frowned.
"Is it a wild man?" Yang Xiong said uncertainly.
As for Lu Zhishen, Shi Xiu and the others, they were already vigilant, they were from the original and had never seen these wild people, and they were already regarded by them as the same as the nv real people in Liaodong, so they took out their weapons one after another and prepared to make a move.
"I'll go up and ask!" Han Shizhong said.
He rode toward them, and as he got closer and closer, he shouted, "Stop! ”
"General Han, it's me, Ruan Liu!" A man in front of him suddenly smiled.
"Hey, it's you!" Han Shizhong immediately recognized this person, this person was one of Ruan Xiaoqi's personal soldiers, who came out of Shijie Village with Ruan Xiaoqi, and was still of the same clan as Ruan Xiaoqi. Seeing Ruan Liu, Han Shizhong got off his horse and pointed at those savages: "How come there are savages in our army?" ”
Ruan Liudao: "General Han, these savages were all subdued by the Metropolitan Governor from Sakhalin Island!" Now follow our navy and maintain order in Beihai County together. ”
Han Shizhong said in surprise: "How to recover them?" ”
Ruan Liu smiled: "With just a steel knife, you can let them follow us!" However, these savages do not know discipline and are difficult to train. But they dared to rush and kill, and when we built a village here, we encountered a lot of tigers, most of which were killed by these savages. In addition to these savages, there are many Orochuns who have joined our army. Now they are all part of our navy. ”
Han Shizhong said: "How many people are there in total?" Also, what are you doing here? ”
Ruan Liudao: "There are not many people, only about 2,000 people...... There are tens of thousands of people on the big island, and it's good to have 2,000 people join! We have established a village here in order to receive you, General Han! Congratulations to General Han for bringing so many war horses! ”
Han Shizhong nodded with a smile and said, "This time I have gained a lot!" Well, I'm afraid these horses still need ships to transport them back, so hurry up and inform your navy! ”
Ruan Liudao: "General Han, you come with me first, someone has already gone to inform Commander Ruan of them." ”
******
It was already dusk, and everyone settled in the village here, and by the next morning, more than 100 large ships appeared on the sea in the distance. The speed of the big ship was extremely fast, and it was not long before it came to the shore.
Ruan Xiaoqi got down from the boat, saw Han Shizhong and the others, was overjoyed, and said, "Congratulations to General Han for transporting the war horse back!" ”
Han Shizhong looked at the 100 big ships and said, "How many horses can you carry on your ship?" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Each boat is at most 100 horses, no more!" How many horses did you bring back? ”
Han Shizhong said: "Thirty thousand! ”
Ruan Xiaoqi was taken aback and said, "So many? Looks like it's going to be divided several times! When I go back this time, I will requisition all the merchant ships in Incheon Port and let the merchant ships help transport the horses! ”
The journey from Sakhalin to Goryeo was also very long, and it took about ten days, so it took more than a month to transport these horses to Goryeo alone.
"When you come from Goryeo, bring more bricks, tea, and weapons, so that we can go to the ancient grassland of Méng to sell horses again!" Winter in the Far North comes very quickly, and a horse must be brought back before winter arrives. Han Shizhong said.
"General Han, next time you may not need to go to the Méng Ancient Grassland! Just let Mr. Duan, Tong Wei and Tong Meng go! You and Yang Xiong are going back to train the army. In the winter, there may be war. Your cavalry will be expanded, and you will only have a few months to train your soldiers. And Yang Xiong, the Metropolitan Governor has already said that if you are in charge of the Second Legion, you will also have to run in with those Goryeos. Ruan Xiaoqi said.
"This ......" Han Shizhong was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "I want to meet the Metropolitan Governor in person, I am afraid that I will send a large army to block our horse trafficking road, so I had better go again." Even if I don't go, Yang Xiong will follow. ”
"Okay, but the Metropolitan Governor is in Dongying now." Ruan Xiaoqi said.
