Chapter 531: The Victory and Defeat of the Capital, the Decline and Rise of the Empire (Part II)

On the Goryeo side, the fleet had already gone to sea, and it was still at the beginning of the battle on the capital side.

The alliance formed by the Yan Yun Army and the Jin Soldiers had already galloped across the sea, clearing out the pirate islands of the Wa Kingdom.

Subsequently, the alliance army landed in the Wa Kingdom, and after three battles of mutual victory and defeat, the Yanyun army finally had the first musket team of about 200 people.

After the defeat of the Wa Kingdom, Jin Bing finally discovered that there was a more magical world on the wider sea, and thus discovered the preciousness of land.

Goryeo gradually regained its vitality thanks to the efforts of Yanyun and the local residents, and some soldiers who were negligent in the bloody scenes of the war began to marry Jin women, and some good-looking Goryeo people were also favored by Goryeo women.

As a result, with the acquiescence of Wanyan Mingzhu and Wang Shu, intermarriage gradually became a commonplace behavior, and some people who came back from the expedition to the sea brought back enviable results at the same time, so that more people are full of yearning for the world at sea!

The imperial court in the capital was flanked by bandits from both sides, and the two armies of 100,000 and 50,000 men were defeated one after another, while the north created an unprecedented prosperity at sea.

As a result, more and more displaced people fled to Yanyun.

On this day, Song Yi was in Fengxue Tower, and a soldier intercepted a team of bandits chasing and killing the homeless, and sent someone to inform Song Yi of his decision.

Originally, this kind of trivial matter should be handed over to the city defense department in the city to be responsible, but because Song Yi deliberately explained that he must personally let him know about the banditry, the city defense captain notified Song Yi at this time.

When Song Yi saw the bandit team, there was still an unruly light in the eyes of those people.

"Let go of us, we are the rebels!" The bandit leader shouted.

"Shut up!" A soldier kicked the leader down and shouted coldly.

Song Yi walked up to the bandit leader and asked with a sneer, "Sue me, which 'righteous army' are you?" ”

"Eight hundred miles of Shuibo, you know, if we are good men in Liangshanbo, let us go quickly, otherwise when our boss comes over, you dog officials will all have to take their lives!" The rugged-faced man said proudly, and there was a fierce aura between his eyebrows!

"Hehe, it's so powerful, it turns out to be Liang Shanbo's brother, dare to ask which one of the one hundred and eight heroes is it?" Song Yi smiled and suddenly asked in surprise.

"Hahaha scared, right? You have some knowledge, but you don't seem to be well-informed, we have 50,000 brothers in Liangshanbo, more than 300 leaders, and 108 heroes? That's too little! ”

Song Yi was slightly surprised, and then sneered, "It seems that I underestimated you, but the people you just chased are all homeless, what do they have to do with you?" ”

"Outcasts? One of the blind men hurt my brother, and we just wanted to catch his sister to pay off the debt, is this too much? ”

Song Yi already knew the ins and outs of the matter.

This group of bandits known as Liangshanbo killed a village near the county seat, looted the property on the village, not to mention, wanted to take advantage of the innocent body of the girl, it happened that the eldest son of the family was a man who could reach out to some people, and hit a few bandits with three punches and two feet, and then ran towards Yanyun with the whole family.

This time it was like smashing a hornet's nest, and along the way, I was bitten by this team of bandits all the way to Youzhou and didn't stop!

Song Yi sighed slightly, and suddenly smashed it out with a punch!

Bang!

I saw that the bandit leader who had been shouting before suddenly had a scarlet color on his face like a watermelon that had been opened!

"The first evil is punished, and the rest of the bandits will be interrogated one by one, and the most heinous ones will be killed to show the public, and the less guilty ones will be sent to the mine to work!" Song Yi commanded with a cold face!

It was only then that the chieftain, as if sensing the fear of death, begged for mercy despite the blossoming of his face, but his plea soon came to an abrupt end, for his head was out of his neck

Back in Fengxue Building, seeing Zhao Jingxue with a sad expression, Song Yi couldn't help but say with some pity, "Don't worry too much, I've already sent someone to search for his whereabouts."

"But now the world is full of chaos, bandits are rampant, Brother Qin Fang," Zhao Jingxue said, instantly crying.

Song Yi patted her shoulder and comforted, "The Seventh Prince, he is also a person who has experienced war, he naturally knows how to protect himself, and there is no news until now, that is good news!" If something happens, with his status as a prince, there will definitely be no news and no blessing to spread all over the world, and it must be the fastest to get the news! ”

"I want to go to him!"

"The world is so big, where do you go to find him?"

"What then? I help me, only you can help me, now I have nothing, you can help me"

Song Yi sighed helplessly, "I was also a little surprised that the Seventh Prince chose to give up like that that day!" But that day he left in a hurry, he didn't leave anything, he didn't stay, no one even knew where he went, I was mobilizing the power in my hand to search, but it would take some time! ”

Zhao Jingxue wiped her tears and said with a sad face, "A good big Zhao, but now he has become a big Song."

Song Yi's expression was strange, and a wisp of complicated meaning appeared in his heart.

This bizarre and bizarre world brought Song Yi a sense of confusion, but he was lucky to have these kind people around him now, and he had the ability to shelter one side now.

Suddenly, a horse rushed in.

"Eight hundred miles in an emergency!!" A post soldier shouted unevenly, and then someone hurried up to the top floor of the Wind and Snow Building with a holy decree.

Song Yi took the holy decree with a strange expression!

The holy decree has always been a personal announcement in the palace, and now it is in Song Yi's hands, which is a little weird! He unfolded the holy decree and watched, and Zhao Jingxue also came over curiously

The handwriting on the holy decree can be seen to be from a woman's hand, and it is the handwriting of Master Ning that Song Yi has seen. The meaning is clear at a glance that when there is chaos today, the people are suffering, and I hope that King Yanyun will take action to suppress the bandits, and the court is willing to allocate a qiΔ“ to suppress the bandits!

Zhao Jingxue stared at Song Yi with a strange expression and sighed, "Hmph." Brother Qin Fang is worried that you have some basis, and it is the first time I have seen a holy decree that can be read like this."

"Do you like to watch me kneel?" Song Yi smiled angrily.

Zhao Jingxue nodded, and suddenly her expression became surprised and exclaimed, "Ah! I remember, I really haven't seen you kneel, even if my father announced that you were in the palace at that time, alas, if you are like you, who is rare to be an emperor! Brother Qin Fang is also really, Jiangnan was so good at the beginning"

Thinking of the Seventh Prince, Zhao Jingxue suddenly felt infinitely sad, but Song Yi began to frown and ponder.

"What, you want to resist the decree? Suppressing bandits is a major event that is beneficial to the world, do you still have to hesitate? Zhao Jingxue asked strangely.

Song Yi smiled, "It seems that you have no ill will towards the person who seized the throne with your brother?" Otherwise, how could you have encouraged me to obey the decree like this? ”

"Hmph. I just don't like that you obviously received the holy decree but still said that the holy decree is not a big deal! Although you seem to be a bit remarkable! Zhao Jingxue snorted.

"Suppressing bandits seems easier than fighting two armies, but in fact it is different and complicated than fighting! Most of these bandit armies started from the civilian population and were familiar with the terrain of mountains and rivers, while the army on my side was only limited to the battlefield in the north. Song Yi sighed helplessly.

Zhao Jingxue frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Is there such a thing?" The musket team I saw you inspect at the Qidao Academy last time was very powerful, if there were more people, wouldn't it be invincible in the world? ”

Song Yi smiled bitterly, "It takes a lot of investment to make a musket, and the ammunition is not mature, there is a certain risk of injuring your own people, not to mention that it is not possible to equip a large area for the time being, and the battle with the bandit army is changing rapidly, and the strength of the musketeer may not be as good as the axeman!" ”

"Do you want to go or not?" Zhao Jingxue snorted impatiently.

Song Yi thought for a moment, and then said with a smile, "If you die, you will naturally go, but you have to let Zuo Shi and the others go first!" ”

Zhao Jingxue looked sluggish, stared at Song Yi in disbelief and asked, "Are you actually planning to let Sister Qianqian's father go to the battlefield?" I'm going to sue Sister SΓΉ Qianqian right now when you're done, hum"

As if she had finally found an opportunity to sue, Zhao Jingxue finished speaking, and ran away without looking back, as if the previous sorrow was completely dissipated by the excitement of the complaint at this moment.

Song Yi glanced at Zhao Jingxue's back helplessly, but he was a little sentimental in his heart. Zuo Gongquan and others came to Yanyun when they were down, and made important contributions to the development of Yanyun, formulating many systems and decrees on Yanyun's side, and the earliest group of people had already been deeply rooted in Yanyun

And now, Song Yi wants to wronged these people to return to the capital, and I don't know how many people are willing to return?

The matter of suppressing bandits, in Zhao Jingxue's eyes, is nothing more than a process of more people fighting fewer people, which side is stronger can succeed! But in fact, in Song Yi's view, the root cause of the world's banditry is not here, and it is impossible to win less with more.

If there is no reasonable way to suppress bandits, even if the wind and snow wolves ride out, I am afraid that the situation of futile guidance will become more and more difficult to end.

Letting Zuo Gongquan and others return to Beijing is to maintain the stability of the court and not cause the collapse of the world system, but the more important reason is that someone has to teach a group of novices in the capital how to govern the world.

In Song Yi's heart, he was more or less looking forward to the arrival of this day, looking forward to Zuo Gongquan and the others trying to implement the new governance experience obtained by Yan Yun to the whole world! Failure or success, that is no longer something that Song Yi can control

Bandits?

Song Yi showed a solemn expression, what he was still unsure about was whether the woman of Master Ning would be able to tolerate Zuo Gongquan and others entering the government
