Chapter 575 Sitting on the mountain and watching child's play
"Master, what's wrong with you, master!"
Gong was beaten by Yang Chun with a military stick and couldn't ride the horse, so he had to be carried back to the temporary foothold by his subordinate wolf Bèi. At this time, more than a dozen people hurriedly gathered here, gossiping to express their concern, only to see that there were rich merchants, shepherds, hunters, monks, and even an in-service official of the imperial court.
"Senior Brother Miaoqing, you're here too!" When Gong saw the monk in the crowd, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"The little monk received the news of the master in Xijing that day, and rushed to the Tianpai loyal army that the little monk secretly recruited for the master overnight, and won a few battles on the road, and the team of 5,000 people became 8,000, slowing down the march, and asking the master to punish him!" Monk Miaoqing replied. Everyone can hear that where he is accusing is completely a show of merit. But the people have no temper, who told him to bring 8,000 people in earnest? This monk is indeed evil, accustomed to demagoguery, claiming to inherit the Zen master Dao Xu's Taiyi jade tent footwork, not only familiar with the art of yin and yang, often to confuse the public with grotesque and unobtrusive words, and many wealthy families in Xijing who believe in Buddhism are deeply involved, and the strength can not be underestimated.
"You're here, I'm done!" Gong said with great joy.
Miaoqing saluted again and again, and then sat down, seeing that Gong was just standing and couldn't sit down, so he hurriedly asked him about his injury.
"It's all right, I just fell off my horse and got hurt! Don't worry, I have already negotiated with the general of Song Guolai, they don't know that those people are dressed up by us, and they apologize to me at this time, for the sake of our long-term relationship in the future, I forgave them, but they also made a request, please stop killing the serfs out of the city, so as not to damage the kindness of their son of heaven, and I also agreed! β
How could Gong fold his face in front of his subordinates. Even if these people in front of him are his core members, he can't reveal the truth in this matter.
"Then our people died in vain?" I saw the man dressed as a hunter slap his hand violently, and the wine jug on the table trembled.
"That is, why did they kill our people in the Song Kingdom, if we hadn't sent cavalry into battle, would they have been able to take advantage of us!" A rich man dressed as a wealthy businessman answered.
Seeing that his lie was about to fail, Gong slammed the table, shocked everyone, and said, "What are we going to do?" What are our top priorities? Fight to the death with the Song people? Beat them away. Can our Gong clan restore the country? Confused, naΓ―ve! Our enemies are local troops from all over the world, and only by defeating them can we be recognized by the powerful people from all over the world, and from then on we will take root in Licheng Port! β
"The master is very right! The Song people are objects that can be used, and we can't be enemies of everyone! The Koreans in official uniforms stood up and echoed Gong's words.
"Alright, let's go down and rest!" Gong waved his hand and dismissed everyone, leaving only the monks and officials in the crowd. The three of them were in the room discussing secrets.
"Master, are you in trouble with the Song people?" The official didn't say anything in front of everyone, and only waited until there were three people left.
"We miscalculated the position of the Song people, and thought they were just putting on a show. It turns out that they are really willing to stand up for these untouchables, we stepped on their bottom line, and the 3,000 people we just recruited were detained by them! Gong did not admit or deny it at this time.
"Oh!?" The officer was taken aback. Said: "If it weren't for their raid on Beijing today, the villain would have wondered if they had other intentions!" β
When Gong saw him say this, he said, "I've thought about this matter over and over again. If they had other intentions, they wouldn't pack up all the goods, grain and grass in Kaijing and take them away, if they coveted our land, it would not be good to put these grains here to prepare for war, and they would have to work hard to carry them back? There are a lot of our spies in the city, and their every move gives me the feeling that I am going to leave at any time! β
"The owner has this feeling, eighty percent can't be wrong!" Monk Miaoqing said with a smile, "Master, in fact, if you let the little monk for another ten years, you will definitely hand over an ironclad Xijing, but unfortunately now all the favors and relationships have been exhausted, so you can make up these 5,000 days to send the loyal army!" β
When Gong heard this, he immediately said a lot of words to appease Miaoqing, although he didn't believe Miaoqing's words in his heart. However, if he has an open eye, he doesn't have to look at it for five hundred years, but after five hundred years, as long as he can see through the situation of this monk more than ten years later, he will definitely be ashamed of his thoughts at this time.
It turned out that this Miaoqing deserved to be the heir of his mantle, and carried out the rebellion to the end, as he just said, more than ten years later, Miaoqing will establish a country in Xijing, Goryeo, with the country name Dawei, and the year name is the first year of Tiankai, and called its army the Tianpai Loyal Army, and after holding on for a year, it was pacified by Jin Fushi's troops.
"No matter how good Xijing is, it is also a lonely city, and it is close to the northern boundary and the eastern boundary, it will be attacked by these two elite soldiers at any time, this Licheng Port is different, as long as this port is mastered, who wants to offend us with the heroes and powers everywhere? Besides, this port is near the sea, even if the matter is urgent, we can also go to the sea, enter to capture Kaijing, retreat and defend, such a good opportunity, if I don't seize it, I am afraid that I will not be at ease in this life! Gong shook his head.
"Master, how many troops do we have now?" Miaoqing asked.
"Not counting the loyal army you brought, I just have 18,000 people here, of which 8,000 are the dark line that was ambushed very early, thanks to Zhihan covering up for me for so many years, so I have the capital to build a country today!" Gong looked at the middle-aged official beside him and gave him a tribute.
Miaoqing also knew Zheng Zhihan, and knew that he was the shadow of Gong in the court, this person was born poor, and his career was originally hopeless, but it was Gong Mou who supported him up, and he was grateful to Gong and was willing to die.
"The other 10,000 people were gathered by me and Zhihan who temporarily swept away the six Qi counties outside the capital, how much combat strength there is, I am not very assured, three thousand of them entered the city today, and they were also controlled by the Song people!" Gong said regretfully.
"Song and Liao are both enemies of our great kingdom in the future, we are locked on the peninsula by them, if we do not enterprising, our people will never come out! Master, when we unify the land of Samhan, we must march to the north! β
Miaoqing said these words at this time, in Zheng Zhihan's eyes, he was like an idiot, the founding of the country has not been worded, this militant is about to be the enemy of the two great powers in the world, not to mention that now the situation has changed, there is more than one Liao country in the north, and there is also a Jin country that has beaten the Liao country so that it cannot find the north.
Miaoqing is also wronged, he is not a momentary person to go crazy, his concept of "whoever stands in the way is the enemy", insisted until he died, when the Jin country was in its prime, and he has always emphasized that he must be tough on Jin, which has never changed.
"Look at the marshal of the Song people, leading twenty or thirty thousand people, he dared to drive straight into and break the lair of the unscrupulous king. In the future, when I will unify Goryeo, I will appoint you as the commander and lead me to send the loyal and righteous army to the north! "Gong doesn't know if it's to tease Miaoqing, or if he is also a person who has the same idea as Miaoqing, anyway, the two sang and harmonized, and they were very happy.
"The little monk is willing to enter the city alone, saying that the marshal of the Song Kingdom will return my 3,000 soldiers, what does the master think?" Miaoqing said suddenly.
"Our Zen method, can you talk about the Song people?" Gong was not yet confused, remembering the power of the stick, he shook his head, grabbed Miaoqing's hand and said: "Those three thousand people are also a rabble, don't do it, let's not provoke the Song people for the time being!" β
Miaoqing sighed and said, "The little monk is incompetent, so that the master will be humiliated, if I bring an army of 50,000, I will avenge the master!" It's a pity that everything is only waiting for the future! β
Gong was very moved when he heard this, so he took advantage of this pride to discuss the important matter in front of him with his two henchmen. In the end, the three of them agreed to slowly digest the local troops that came to support, and strive to take the opportunity to expand their strength. The three of them were originally very confident in the private soldiers they had been raising for many years, and at this time, when they heard that the elite soldiers of Kaijing were easily defeated by the Song people, they were even more disdainful of reinforcements from all over the country, not to mention, sometimes underestimating the enemy can really improve morale.
β¦β¦
In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since the liberation of serfs from the capital, and the city is becoming more and more lively day by day, and the outside of the city is also average.
The inhabitants of the city have adapted to life under the rule of the Song people, there are no tigers and wolves, there are no bullying slaves, and there are no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Of course, there is one thing that still makes the residents uncomfortable, and that is that the city gate is only open for one hour every day.
Outside the city is even more lively, the "Great Country" Tianpai Loyal and Righteous Army shows amazing combat effectiveness, every time after killing less than 20% of the opponent's soldiers, there will be a magical scene in the local army: the formation surrenders, people really can't figure out whether they are here to escort or add firewood.
What's even more lively than the above is that Gong also likes to lure the opponent to the city gate and then shoot, hooking the Jeju Islanders who have not seen the national war (Dawei country vs. Goryeo country) in the city are excited, and every time they are very engaged in cheering, from time to time to find genuine infantry soldiers to borrow their divine arm bows, saying that they want to try two, but unfortunately they are rejected every time, and the number of times is so much that the commanders of each step camp feel a little embarrassed, and they have asked Wang Lun to lend the mountains of Korean bows and arrows in the armor warehouse to the people. Anyway, it won't be used in the future, and it's piled up, so it's better to let the militia play two.
Just like a snowball, the Heavenly Loyal Army has swelled to more than 50,000 people, and it has reached the number of Miaoqing who wants to find Wang Lun to replace his master. This time, it was Goryeo's number one famous general, Tu Junjing, who came.
