Chapter Seventy-Three: Should You Accept It?
Since defeating Su Yongde, Wang Ze ordered Jiang Chuan, Cao An and others to lead more than 10,000 troops to cross the Chang'men waterway and capture the Chang'men City, completely closing the western 'gate' of the Wa Kingdom.
The remnants of the 20,000-strong army led by Su Yongde urgently retreated for more than 100 miles before escaping, and then used the mountains there to set up defenses.
However, Wang Ze was not ready to continue the attack, and appointed Zhang Hang, the commander of the blue wolf battalion, to lead his troops to garrison Chang'men', supplemented by Han Guang, who was born in Changguang Haoqiang, and the rest of the army all returned to the division to continue to sweep the tribes on Qinjin Island.
In 20 days is the New Year, Wang Ze is ready to return to Jeju Island to personally mobilize the first batch of immigrants to move here after the New Year, so as to consolidate the occupation of Qinjin, if there is only an army on the island and no people, then the current occupation of Qinjin is just a mirror after all.
As soon as he returned to Jeju Island, Wang Ze saw the nephew of the King of Baekje, Buyeo Wang, who was waiting, with straight eyes, and almost jumped up when he saw Wang Ze Fuyeowang.
Although Xiao Yu led Xiao Liang's sailors to take refuge in Baekje, which increased Baekje's water power a lot, the news that Wang Ze conquered the Japanese kingdom and broke the army of more than 100,000 people in Su and I used Germany yesterday made Buyeo Wang add some awe to Wang Ze.
After calculation, under Wang Ze's successive blows, the Japanese State first lost nearly 10,000 troops at the beginning of the year, and then destroyed more than half of the Japanese naval army of more than 20,000 people in a battle with Su My Mazi and Su My Sister last month, and then annihilated more than 100,000 troops of Su I Yongde, while Wang Ze's side lost thousands of people at most.
Seeing that Wang Ze in front of him was more powerful, Fuyu Wang no longer had the calm mentality of equality and 'handover' this time, and there was still a little flattering smile on his face.
Since Baekje 'traded' tens of thousands of steel-bladed weapons from Wangze, he caught Silla off guard and recaptured more than a dozen castles that had been robbed by the Silla people one after another.
However, the national power of the Silla people was on the rise during this time, and the cooperation of the army of the Japanese colonial government in the Renna area and the Silla people still resisted the attack of the Baekjes.
At the end of November, the Silla people designed an ambush circle and annihilated more than 10,000 Baekje troops, including nearly 5,000 elite troops armed with steel-bladed weapons.
After the Silla annihilated this army, the Baekje people could not withstand the attack of the Silla people, and the king of Baekje hurriedly sent Buyeo Wang to Jeju Island to find Wang Ze to 'trade' a batch of 'fine' weapons, of course, it would be better if Wang Ze could send an army to help in the war.
In the past few months, Buyeo Wang had been to Jeju Island three or four times without seeing Wang Ze's shadow, and this time because of the urgency of the situation, he even planned to go to the Wa Kingdom to find Wang Ze if Wang Ze had not returned to Jeju Island.
After listening to Buyeo Wang's introduction, Wang Ze carefully calculated in his heart that although the Japanese and the Silla people were allies, if the Silla people knew that the Japanese army had been annihilated, they would inevitably be moved by the Ren Nafu of the Japanese State.
After the annihilation of Baekje's tens of thousands of troops last month, the strength of Silla and Baekje changed offensively and defensively, and the need for the original ally Wa was no longer so urgent, and now that the Wa State was in danger of protecting itself, Silla naturally would not be afraid.
It seems that after the East China Sea, the relationship between the original Baekje Silla and the Wa Kingdom and itself is only afraid that there will be more variables.
However, Baekje now basically fully absorbs the culture of the Southern Liang period, and extremely worships Buddhism and literature, even if Xiao Yu's ten thousand people take refuge in Baekje, it is not much of a threat to himself, and the threat is more still the martial Wa Kingdom and Silla.
Thinking of this, Wang Ze made up his mind in his heart, he raised his head and said to Buyeo Wang: "I and Baekje were originally allies, and we should have helped each other, but the soldiers fought for days and days and were inconvenient to go out, so in ten days, I will have 10,000 soldiers and steel swords to sell to your country at a low price." ”
Speaking of this, Wang Ze pretended to be difficult to 'color' and said: "Because this weapon is more 'sophisticated' than the last weapon, you need to add three percent to the price last time!" However, for the sake of your country, Brother Buyeo still uses grain to 'trade' with cattle, sheep and horses! ”
Buyeo Wang's heart is tight, do you want to add 30% to the price last time? Your mother is so expensive! My heart is so dark! However, now that Baekje was chased by Silla in turn, it was not okay not to buy it, and the last bargaining to help Yu Wang finally made Wang Ze agree to reduce the price to only two percent.
However, Wang Ze still stated that this batch was only given at an affordable price for the sake of the face of Fuyu Wang's good friend, and next time it would be necessary to add three percent of the price.
In these wars, there were many weapons that were damaged, and it was troublesome to return to the furnace, and since the blacksmith Cao and others had already come to Jeju Island, they could be sold to the Baekje people by processing them according to the method they had done last time.
At first, Buyeo Wang thought that the weapons were a little more expensive, but when he saw the samples this time, he was happy again, because the weapons sold to the Baekje people last time were processed and sold back using the captured Baekje people's own weapons.
This time, the weapons sold by Wang Ze to the Baekje people were processed on the basis of the weapons used by Wang Ze's army itself, and the quality was significantly improved by a level.
Fuyu Wang took the samples that Cao Blacksmith had temporarily rushed out, and went back happily to prepare the easy-to-use grain, cattle, sheep and horses.
Wang Ze looked at Fuyu Wang, who was far away, and began to gather He Bo, Yan Boss, Zheng Kui, Xu Ning, Cao Blacksmith Tan Carpenter and others to prepare to discuss the matter of immigrating to Qinjin, and even Liu Qing, the elder Taoist, attended this meeting.
After the meeting, Uncle He temporarily stayed on Jeju Island because of his old age, and Boss Yan led a team to lead some professors from the College of Agriculture to Qinjin to do preliminary planning, and then let Uncle He go over after the city was built.
Blacksmith Cho was in charge of the renovation of the weapons supplied to the Baekje people on Jeju Island, and Carpenter Tan and Boss Yan were the first to prepare for the construction of Qinjin Fortress, but with the construction experience of Jeju City, Carpenter Tan was also handy.
The immigrants all explained in advance that although the island is still unstable, the first batch of immigrants in the past were given priority to arable land and pastures and corresponding cattle, sheep and horses, and there were many preferential treatments.
The news came out that not only those who did not have arable land were vying to sign up, but even some people on Jeju Island who had already been allocated land were going to re-settle in Qinjin.
In order to meet the people's spiritual needs, Liu Qing wrote a letter to the four disciples on the Qizhou side, preparing to let the third disciple Li Jie go to Qinjin Island with the immigrants to preside over the teaching affairs of the Haotian God Sect in Qinjin.
The defense of Jeju Island is still presided over by Xu Ning, and Zheng Kui will be in charge of the militia training on Qinjin Island this time.
Just when Wang Ze had just arranged many affairs to immigrate to Jeju Island, Xiao Jing came to the island again, and when he saw Wang Ze, he said with a smile on his face: "The minister has seen Xiahou!" "Then I want to see the big gift!
Wang Ze hurriedly stopped Xiao Jing and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, why do you want to urge Narrow Lang!" I call myself Xiahou just to take a name for righteousness! Mr. will still call me Da Lang in the future! ”
Seeing that Wang Ze was still the same as before, without the slightest arrogance and treating himself with courtesy, Xiao Jing was very satisfied, but he still saluted Wang Ze.
"Sir, I don't know what my father's situation is in Qizhou?" Wang Ze hurriedly inquired about the situation in the Central Plains, after all, Dad was there against the number one power in the world, and he couldn't help but worry.
Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Xiao Langjun don't worry, I am very happy to hear that Xiao Langjun has the name of Xia Da Langjun, and now Da Langjun has more than 100,000 tigers under his command in the land of Sanqi, and it can be regarded as a hero!" ”
Since Wang Ze left, the Northern Qi Dynasty had a miserable life under the siege of the Northern Zhou, Southern Chen, Turkic, and Wang Yong, as well as the Khitan, Kumoxi, and Goguryeo in the northeast.
Fortunately, during this time, the famous generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty managed to resist the siege of the surrounding countries, and the rapidly rising Hu Lawyers Association used the terrain of the Great Wall to block the Turks.
Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty successively seized Dongyongzhou and Nanfenzhou in the land east of the river, it was blocked by the veteran Ku Digan under Luoyang City, but I heard that the veteran Ku Digan is now seriously ill and is about to get out of bed.
The army of Southern Chen under the leadership of Chen Baxian attacked the city and pulled out the village, and now it has basically resumed the occupation of Huainan during the Southern Liang period, only the two cities of Huai 'Yin' and Huainan have not been captured, but the army under the command of Chen Baxian has now reached nearly 200,000 people, and the strength has swelled sharply if it takes another year or two to unify the local forces in the south of the Yangtze River.
Although Wang Yong did not attack the other counties of Northern Qi on a large scale after occupying the land of Sanqi, the surrounding local heroes revolted one after another with the strong support of Wang Ze.
Puyang County, Jibei County, Gaoping County in the west and North Xuzhou and Nanqingzhou in the mountainous area in the south have been heroically revolted, although no county town has been captured, but many county towns are no longer under the control of the Qi army.
What's more, the county town of Dongping County next to Mount Tai was captured by Taishan thieves at night, and the banner of General Nan Chen was also raised.
The Northern Qi court finally didn't dare to indulge anymore, and what frightened the Northern Qi court even more was that Haizhou Haoqiang raised troops to capture the three counties of Langya, Yitang and Donghai one after another, and these three counties became their own corners, and they were only separated by hundreds of miles from the Chen army in Huainan from Hai'an County and Shuyang County.
If Nan Chen took advantage of the situation to seize the two counties and connect them with the Haizhou Rebel Army, and to the north and connect with the Jiaozhou land occupied by Wang Yong, if the three forces attacked together, all the land east of Xuzhou and Yanzhou would no longer belong to Northern Qi.
If this situation is realized, Nan Chen can even use this to break the horse blockade of the north to the south, and the strength of the north and the south will be rebalanced, which is not what the Northern Qi wants to see.
Gao Yan and Gao Zhan could no longer fight with Yang Yu and others, and hurriedly requisitioned hundreds of thousands of young and strong people from Hebei and Henan to join the army.
Even in this case, the struggle between the Xianbei nobles and the high-ranking Han officials did not stop, and last month Yang Su 'wanted' to weaken the military power of the Xianbei nobles Gao Guiyan, He Baren, Hu Lujin and others, so that the Praetorian Guard general Erzhu Hun Tianhe could gain more military power.
So Gao Guiyan, He Baren, Hu Lujin and others united with other Xianbei nobles who resented Yang Su and other high-ranking Han officials to join the two kings of Gao Yan and Gao Zhan.
Yang Su fought with the Xianbei nobles and the two kings, and he even dismissed Shangshu's right servant Cui Ang and Shangshu's left servant Cui Jishu because of his 'private' grudges, which weakened the political power that supported him, and people had to sigh Yang Su's short-sightedness.
"Yang Su, this is the way to die!" After listening to Xiao Jing's series of narrations, Wang Ze sighed with emotion, "I'm afraid that the political situation in Northern Qi is just around the corner, and I still need to prepare my father as soon as possible in order to get some benefits in this great change!" ”
Xiao Jing also sighed with emotion: "Yang Su's behavior is really unwise!" Speaking of this, it seemed that he had forgotten something, and after thinking about it, Xiao Jing said again: "By the way, Xiao Langjun, I almost forgot a big thing, Chen Ba first invited Da Langjun and Xiao Langjun to meet in the south, and if Lang Jun can't leave, let me send you a message to let you go!" Then he went out of his bosom and wrote a letter.
Wang Ze's letter turned out to be a letter written by his father, to the effect that Chen Baxian is also a master of a generation, and he will definitely not do despicable things, Wang Ze can carefully observe the strength of the Southern Dynasty so as to plan for the future strategic direction.
What about Emperor Chen Wudi's invitation, do you want to go? After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Ze couldn't make up his mind, so he still summoned Yang Ku, Liu Qing and others, and prepared to make plans after discussing with everyone.
"Lang Jun's move is inappropriate, the sage said, 'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall', and Lang Jun is in danger of hundreds of thousands of people, how can he risk going to the Southern Dynasty lightly? What if Chen Ba first used Lang Jun as a hostage to 'force' Da Lang Jun and did what he could do? When Yang Ku heard that it was Chen Baxian's invitation, he was the first to stand up and oppose it.
