Chapter 260: Cleanup 1
The clearance of Yangguang Province, Gwangsang Province, and Jeolla Province in the south of Goryeo Province was carried out very quickly, and in only half a month, Shi Wengong sent back a military report to Zhao Xu, who was in the former Kaesong of Goryeo and now Liaodong City, that all the land south of Sangju City had been cleared, and the three border kings of Goryeo gradually got in touch with Shi Wengong, who was fighting on the front line, starting on the fifth day after the fall of the capital of Goryeo, claiming that he was willing to submit to the Great Song Dynasty forever. But the conditions were all to hope that the Great Song Dynasty would support him to settle in Liaodong City and ascend the throne as the emperor of Goryeo. Pen? Interesting?

The conditions put forward by this guy were naturally full of promises to Shi Wengong, who knew Zhao Xu's battle plan, and Shi Wengong also proposed to help them eliminate the other two border kings, and the condition was only to let them be ministers for generations and congratulate them every year. Regarding the conditions that Shi Wengong complained, these three border kings naturally agreed
There are actually big loopholes in Shi Wengong's words, as long as these three border kings carefully scrutinize it, it is naturally not difficult to see through the problems, but when the eyes of these three border kings are all fixed on the throne that seems to be within their reach, their IQ seems to have received some small impact
Liaodong City, in the imperial study of the palace of the emperor of the Great Song Empire, on the throne that originally belonged to the Goryeo emperor Wang Xien, Zhao Xu and his ministers drank large tea leaves and ate exquisite refreshments, generally talking about the military report reported by Shi Wengong, and instructed them the strategic plan he formulated
"According to Shi Wengong's military report, all the former Goryeo nobles in the newly occupied land have surrendered, and the nobles of the Goryeo Kingdom south of Shangzhou are also surrendering to our Great Song Dynasty from afar, and as for the three remaining vassal kings of the Goryeo Kingdom, they have all contacted Shi Wengong who is on the front line, hoping that our country can help them ascend to the throne of the Goryeo Kingdom."
"Your Majesty, news has come from the East China Sea Fleet, their main fleet has sailed through the Luo Tan Strait, and the forward army has begun to reconnoiter and patrol the waters of the territory of these three border kings, according to Yue Fei's information, they can launch an attack on the fleet mentioned by these three border kings within five days." Lu Junyi sat on the chair and said with Zhao Xu clenching his fists
"Very good, order Yue Fei to attack on his own after arriving at the attack area, and tell him that what I want is not only a war of annihilation at sea, but also that their East China Sea Fleet will block the entire strait between Goryeo and Fusang while attacking, so as to prevent Fusang's pirates, ronins, and even troops from coming to make trouble, once they find Fusang's ship, whether it is a pirate ship, a warship, or a merchant ship, as long as it is not our own ship department to sink it, and if our merchant ship of the Great Song Dynasty is passing there, Yue Fei and they will temporarily detain it, Wait until the end of the military operation before releasing it. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has written it down." Lu Junyi clasped his fists at Zhao Xu and saluted
"Let's talk about the battle plan first, and now, I will talk about a big thing, all of you will be very good to me, and there must be no mistakes." Zhao Xu drank a cup of tea, moistened his throat, glanced at all the ministers present with murderous eyes, and then said: "All the surrendered officials, nobles, family lords, and big merchants of the Goryeo Kingdom, although the Goryeo Kingdom has perished, but these people still have many advantages in their hands, they surrendered to us today, these advantages can be used by us, and if one day they want to restore the Goryeo Kingdom, then the advantages in their hands will become a headache for all of us, like lice on the collar, Although it is not a big problem, it hurts to bite someone, so I plan to feast them in the palace of Goryeo, exchange feelings with them, and finally let them all die in a happy atmosphere. ”
After Zhao Xu finished speaking, all the ministers made an exchange with each other's eyes, and then Chu Luli clasped his fists at Zhao Xu and said, "Your Majesty plans to clean up all the family lords and nobles in Goryeo now?" The minister thought that he would wait until the three border kings of Goryeo were pacified before making this plan. ”
"Do you know why I only let Shi Wengong advance the army to the front line of Sangju and not take a step forward, the reason is very simple, those three border kings of Goryeo have been guarding there for generations, and they have been operating the entire Gwangsang-do for hundreds of years, to be honest, I don't think those three guys are fools." Zhao Xu said to all the ministers while eating refreshments
"Your Majesty is worried that those three border kings have laid a foreshadowing in the entire Guangshang Dao, and I am afraid that they will sabotage our country's control in the future?" Liu Shihai stroked his long beard and said to Zhao Xu
"Liu Qing's guess is right, but I am worried about it."
"Then I don't know what His Majesty plans to let us do?" Zheng Junyan said to Zhao Xu
Zhao Xu rubbed his chin, and after thinking for a while, he said to Zheng Junyan: "Through your Ministry of Rites, I will convey my will to all the former Goryeo nobles who surrendered to my Great Song Empire, and say that I obey the mandate of heaven and conquer the land of Goryeo, and I can pacify Goryeo so quickly, and they are also very meritorious, so I plan to feast them and all their families in this palace, regardless of men, women, old and young, and I also plan to reward them for meritorious deeds, you can also tell them secretly, Let's just say that I also secretly plan to marry a few Goryeo women as concubines. ”
"Hahaha, if you really look for Your Majesty to say this, those guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death have to come here with their families." Zheng Junyan said to Zhao Xu
Under the auspices of Zheng Junyan, the invitation of the Song Empire was sent out quickly, and along with this invitation, there was also the gossip that Zhao Xu deliberately leaked out, that is, he planned to select a few outstanding girls among the unmarried women of these surrendered Goryeo nobles and family gate lords to be concubines and fill his harem, and all the original Goryeo nobles and family members who got the news all took out their most beautiful daughters and dressed up carefully and went to the current Liaodong City
All the nobles of the Goryeo Kingdom and their families, counting more than 5,000 people, made the usually empty palace seem a lot more crowded at once, and all the lords of the family and the nobles all appeared in this golden palace with their own men and the most beautiful girls in the family, and sat on their corresponding seats according to the command of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, waiting for the arrival of their new master, but they didn't know that it was not only their new master Zhao Xu who came, Also present in front of them is the Grim Reaper (to be continued. )
