Chapter 767: Ji Jinkai's Shock
As the great luxury of Haizhou (higher than the existence of Valerian Branch, equivalent to the governor of a state) Empress Zheng, in addition to calling his subordinate general Zheng Xiu to strengthen military affairs, what did he do before, what he still does now, every day in the city is to eat, drink and enjoy life.
As a descendant of the Zheng family, Empress Zheng only needs to serve Zheng Toe well, and she will naturally be able to prosper in official fortune.
And from the big luxury to the general, they are all people of the Zheng family, which shows how much Wang Hui of Goryeo Wenzong trusts the Zheng family and hands over the security of such an important geographical location to the other party.
Empress Zheng's task is to curry favor with Zheng Toe, and as a general, Zheng Xiu's task is to curry favor with Empress Zheng.
He had already received news that the head of the hundred officials, Lu Zhengtoe, had sent envoys to Liao, Song and Fusang to ask for help.
It is still unknown how the Liao and Song dynasties gave feedback, but I heard that the envoy to Fusang had sent good news back and that they had decided to send troops to help Goryeo.
Once there is Fusang's help, with the momentum of the two countries, it is just to deal with a dragon king, is it not a hand to pinch, and the soldiers will be wiped out?
Thinking that he only needed to wait for a period of time, the army of Fusang might appear in Haizhou and counterattack Xijing, Zheng Xiu put his heart in his stomach, and put the matter of strengthening defense that Zheng Hou said in the back of his mind.
But not all Goryeo generals were so stupid.
Ji Jinkai was originally a descendant of a fisherman in Song Zhinan. (The person recommended by the book friend Ji Ping'an, the name Ji Jinkai is also an old friend)
When my ancestors were fishing at sea, they encountered the attack of the Fuso bandits, and because they were too far away from the coastline, they could not escape, so they had to go all the way up to the north, and finally came to Goryeo, where they settled down.
Ji Jinkai himself was born in Haeju, Goryeo, but his parents never forgot the fact that he was Han Chinese, and taught him not to forget his ancestors from an early age.
Ji Jinkai, who grew up slowly, has always had a yearning for the ancestor of Han, but because the distance is too far, he has never had the opportunity to go there.
Ji Jinkai, who grew up slowly, grew into a strong young man and had more ambitions. He first joined the Haizhou Army, and through continuous performance, he was promoted all the way to become a middle-level officer of the Haizhou Army, and because of his heroic personality, helpfulness, courage and carefulness, he was quite prestigious in the army.
Speaking of which, Ji Jinkai was also a militant member of the minority of the Goryeo army.
Just over a year ago, there were Fusang pirates outside Haizhou, and they were repelled by Ji Jinkai with a boat, resulting in the result of killing more than a dozen enemies.
It's just a pity that in Goryeo, where the powerful are rampant and value their backgrounds more, the son of a fisherman like Ji Jinkai is not so easy to really get ahead, and now it is the ultimate for his subordinates to lead hundreds of troops.
The young Ji Jinkai naturally saw this, but he did not admit defeat in his bones, thinking that as long as he made countless military achievements, he would definitely be promoted. After learning that Xijing had been taken by the Dragon Army, he began to prepare for the big war, and he thought that this was a shortcut to his promotion.
But just a few days ago, his thinking had changed a bit.
The change comes from a Haizhou fishing man I know, speaking of which, the two have been neighbors for many years, and the relationship has always been very good. When he was a child, Ji Jinkai went to people's homes to eat, and he was a good neighbor who was not as good as a close neighbor.
This neighbor didn't know what to hear a while ago, so he ventured to row a boat to the beach in Xijing, and when he came back, his whole person had changed, and he said all the good things about the Dragon Heavenly King. He also said that under his governance, the people have their land, the people have something to do, and they no longer have to be oppressed, let alone worry about eating and drinking, etc.
said a lot, and it also caused some bad influences, and when the matter reached Zheng Xiu's ears, he ordered people to arrest this person who gave Su Shi free publicity and threw his body into the sea. It just so happened that it was Ji Jinkai who took on this task.
He took his soldiers to the neighbor's house, which he called Uncle Sun, and then Ji Jinkai retreated. "Uncle Sun, what nonsense are you talking about, do you know that these words have brought you death."
"Jin Kai, but Uncle Sun is telling the truth, you don't know what has become of Xijing City now, that's really as I said
It's like a heavenly existence. Oh, by the way, you're originally Han Chinese, and if you go there, you'll be reused quickly."
Uncle Sun didn't seem to be afraid, mainly because he watched Ji Jinkai grow up, and he knew that this kid's temperament was not a bad person.
"Uncle Sun, whether it's true or not, but you've already sinned. In this case, you can go to your relatives' house and hide for a while, and I will take care of the affairs here." Ji Jinkai really didn't have the ruthlessness to attack his neighbors for many years, and from this point of view, he was not a person who didn't recognize his relatives for promotion.
"Okay, I'll go hide, it's just Jin Kai, there are really big changes in Xijing City, Uncle Sun has something to say to you for your future consideration." In this way, Sun Bo took Ji Jinkai's hand, and it was half a day as soon as he said it.
At first, Ji Jinkai didn't think about it, but after listening to it a lot, his heart gradually became thoughtful.
According to Uncle Sun, the land under the rule of the Dragon Heavenly King is really like heaven. As long as you are willing to work hard and work hard, you can quickly change your living situation, eat and clothe warmly.
Eat well and dress warmly.
What a simple four words, and what a simple request.
But such a simple pursuit is something that many people dare not think about in this era. But listening to Uncle Sun's words, the people under the rule of the Dragon Heavenly King really lived such a life.
Uncle Sun left, with Ji Jinkai's help, and no one made it difficult for him. Seeing the back of his departure, he fell into deep thought for a while.
"Brother Ji, there's nothing to worry about, and the people above won't care about the life or death of a small people, as long as he doesn't talk nonsense here, he won't know that we let people go today." His brother Zhang Cheng looked at Ji Jinkai and seemed a little worried, so he stepped forward and said relief.
"No, that's not what I'm thinking about. By the way, Zhang Cheng, have you heard Uncle Sun's remarks?" Of course, Ji Jinkai is not thinking about the question of responsibility, as Zhang Cheng said, no one will care about the life or death of a small people, and the reason why he thinks more is also to doubt the factuality of these remarks."
"I've heard that." Unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng admitted it very casually. "In fact, Uncle Sun is not the only one who has said this, but many people from Xijing have said it. But in my opinion, it can't be true, the people really have their land, food, clothing? If this is the case, how can those gentry and magnates agree, isn't this tantamount to robbing them of the good things in their hands? It can't be."
There are many unfair things that I have seen since I was a child, in Zhang Cheng's eyes, the world's powerful people are one family, and it is impossible for anyone to really make decisions for the people, it is absolutely impossible.
"But what if it's true?" Ji Jinkai knew Uncle Sun, a man who never spoke nonsense, and for so many years, at least he hadn't heard him tell a lie.
"How can it be true, shouldn't these people have been ordered by the Dragon Heavenly King to come back and spread rumors?" Zhang Cheng shook his head, still a little disbelieving.
"Forget it, it can't be fake, it can't be fake. Zhang Cheng, now I give you a task, you go to Xijing City in person, go and see what is going on in person, and remember not to reveal your identity." Ji Jinkai was skeptical, but he decided to send someone to take a look, only in this way could he know in his heart.
"Okay, I'll go." Zhang Cheng is very convinced of Ji Jinkai, in the last battle with the Fusang people, he was also saved a life, in his opinion, his life is Ji Da's, people just let themselves be a spy, what else can he hesitate.
After Zhang Cheng agreed, he got a small boat with the help of Ji Jinkai, and went straight to the direction of Xijing City when it was almost dark and no one was paying attention.
......
Lou Heyang has recovered from his injuries and been discharged from the hospital.
It was during her time in the hospital that she learned 500 Chinese characters with the help of the nurses, and she was able to use some Chinese for daily communication.
Lou Heyang has a very good personality and is also very diligent, and during his hospitalization, he often helped the nurses do what he could, which was loved by many nurses. For this reason, the chief of the guard, He Li, also personally
I talked to her once and asked her if she wanted to work in the health center in the future and become a glorious angel in white.
Lou Heyang was somewhat moved by He Li's warm invitation, but as another princess, Yue Siling, came to visit her and had a conversation with her, Lou Heyang changed his mind about wanting to be a nurse.
In Yue Siling's words, what she envies the most is that she can be like Sister Lu and Sister Ye and benefit the officials, which is a very great thing.
In order to show his importance to the heroes, Su Shi sent Yue Siling to visit, but he didn't want to, it was this meeting that actually caused a great female politician in the future Dragon Empire.
Lou Heyang was shocked by Yue Siling's unintentional words, and had an idea in her heart, that is, she wanted to be an official, a good official, and a big official who really worked for the welfare of the people.
After being discharged from the hospital, Lou Heyang said goodbye to the nurses who had taken care of him for many days, and also rejected He Li's proposal to leave her as a nurse, and resolutely went from Dingzhou to Ningyuan, she wanted to return to her hometown to participate in the assessment of helping peasants and soldiers, according to Su Shi's regulations, unless there are special talents and special appointments, otherwise all officials must start from the grassroots level.
Only when officials really stay with the people will they know what they need, what they should do, and how they should do things.
