Chapter 817: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Massacres in war inspire hatred.

In particular, the fight between two different races will turn hatred into a lifelong obsession of the living.

Of course, this is a bad side, but at the same time, it can also make more people feel chills, tremble, and be afraid, and finally lose the courage to resist and surrender completely.

Within three days, Kaijing was completely reduced to a city of death, and every man who entered the city did what they did not dare to do, or could not do, in the normal kingdom established in order, which completely aroused their murderous side.

It's like a carnival, an belonging to bandits. For the Song people, they came to take revenge. It doesn't matter what Goguryeo or Goryeo is, the name has changed, but do you really think that people are different? Could it be that the Song people would treat the people of the Tang Dynasty as foreigners? After all, history is history, especially the history of continuity, which is a kind of inheritance and at the same time a continuation, and no one can deny it.

The only difference is that Silla, a small country that was friendly with the Central Plains Dynasty during both the Sui and Tang dynasties, has been completely submerged in history and has become a thing of the past.

Fortunately, for the people of Kaijing, the hellish days came to an abrupt end with Li Kui's entry into the city.

Three days later, walking down the darkened and muddy streets, Li Kui entered the city.

After the wheels ran over the road and passed the city gate, Yoo Seung-zhi, the biggest Goryeo traitor in Goryeo today, shouted in front of everyone: "Greetings to the king!" ”

"Greetings to the king!"

Even Wu Yong, Chao Gai and others, after hesitating, knelt down and shouted. And this shout is from the bottom of my heart. It's as if if there was no Li Kui, they would have lost their biggest support.

As his chariot and horse entered, Li Kui, who was standing behind the chariot, looked ahead, looking at the imperial city in the capital on the road. It still seems to be intact, under the white clouds and blue sky, telling the conquerors of the prosperity that this land once had. There were kneeling people on both sides of the street, including Song soldiers, Goryeo soldiers, and more frightened Goryeo women and children.

As a conqueror, Li Kui did not feel guilty for the undead in this city who died in a few days at the hands of his orders.

On the contrary, he sighed in his heart: no wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, so he goes out to patrol this road, and everyone on the road kneels and worships, this scene, he doesn't want to finish in his life.

Everyone was kneeling, and he was the only one standing, a feeling that made people instantly addicted.

If this is a dream, I'm afraid most people don't want to wake up. Even Li Kui was shocked by this scene, and always felt that he had to do something to meet the situation.

When the convoy arrived at the entrance of the palace, Li Kui climbed the engineering tower, and the Goryeo palace in Kaijing was far worse than the imperial palace of Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty, even if the imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty was known for being small in history. There is no palace as tall as Daqing Palace, Zichen Palace, and the Desheng Gate of the Song Palace, but this did not stop Li Kui's interest in the slightest, he pulled out the long knife on his waist, pointed to the sky, and said loudly: "What the long knife points to will be your glory!" ”

"The king is mighty!"

"The king is mighty!"

Li Kui shook with satisfaction, his mentality was a little floating. Once he heard from Su Song that when the little emperor Zhao Xu was in power, the whole person spent time in a kind of excited trembling, and he also laughed at Zhao Xu behind his back for not being reserved at all.

But when it was his turn, he couldn't stop this strong reaction. Even, when Liu Chengzhi shouted out the king, he didn't feel inappropriate. Out of the Great Song Dynasty, who still takes the rules of the Great Song Dynasty seriously?

Imperial power, even the royal power of a small country, made him have an indescribable infatuation in his heart.

As the cheers rose, there was no sadness in the city, but excitement, and the whole city fell into euphoria, and Li Kui understood that this was the tyranny brought by the soldiers who participated in the massacre, and this emotion, if not stopped, would develop in a terrible direction. The moment he entered the city, Li Kui made a decision.

He was not a peasant chieftain, much less a bandit.

In the Great Song Dynasty, he was an official for several years, and for more than half of the time, he was the commander of the leading side.

He was still a scholar, and he knew that this emotion needed to be stopped in time, and at this moment, he looked at the city, and the people near the gate of Miyagi were his left and right arms. If you want to establish order, you must decisively appoint the right people to run the country.

"Wu Yong!"

“…… Minister! ”

Wu Yong is not used to treating Li Kui as a gentleman, the main time is too short, only a few days, and he has not been able to turn the corner.

"This king appointed you as the prime minister of Zuo to deal with the affairs of the court."

Wu Yong was stunned, he looked up at Li Kui, there was an indescribable feeling lingering in his heart, he didn't expect that Gongsun Sheng, who had made a lot of contributions, did not surpass him, but after he entered Li Kui's group as a subordinate, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Prime Minister Zuo, doesn't this official position mean that he has become the head of the court's ministers?

As for whether it is the Great Song Dynasty?

Whatever, he's an official, it's more important than anything else.

"Minister...... He must bow down and die to repay the king's kindness. ”

"Get up!"

"Gongsun Sheng!"

"The minister is here!"

With Wu Yong, everyone knows that Li Kui is going to be sealed, as for whether to play with Li Kui or fool around, they don't care. The main thing is that Gongsun Sheng's chest has a monstrous pride, and he is breaking new ground for China.

"This king has appointed you as the right prime minister to assist Wu Yong in handling the government."

"Li Quan, General Zuo Yiwei!"

"Hua Rong, General Right Yiwei!"

"Li Yun, hussar general!"

"Li Lin, General Zhengdong!"

"Luda, General of the Expedition to the North!"

……

Even Liu Tang got a general's reward, and he was excited to kill two people for a while, glancing around, Luda and Wu Song stood beside him, and his old face suddenly became bitter, he couldn't beat any of them, so he had to clench his fists in annoyance and sigh that people are better than people.

And Liu Chengzhi, who surrendered to Chengcheng, did not fall short and got the official position of Kaijing Mansion Yin. It seems that Li Kui didn't take Goryeo seriously at all, and only after he conquered the capital of Goryeo, Kaijing, he began to reward him aggressively, and there was a sign that he would enjoy the hegemony at the beginning.

Wu Yong hesitated for a moment, but still felt that he should take on the responsibility of prime minister, and after congratulating Li Kui, he suggested: "King, now that our army has just captured Kaijing, everything is unknown, please also ask the king to be diligent in serving the people......"

As he spoke, he couldn't go on.

Diligent government for the people, for the sake of that people?

Li Kui raised his hand to stop Wu Yong's suggestion, and after he sealed the reward, Li Kui retreated the others, leaving Li Yun, Wu Yong and others into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

For the Song people, although Li Kui had ordered the fleet to send people to Dengzhou to deliver the news, it would be at least a month before reinforcements would continue to arrive in Goryeo.

But before this, how could they, outsiders, care about the life and death of the Koreans?

They are conquerors, and at the same time they are enemies to the people of the land.

Li Kui smiled, laughing very indulgently, this kind of mood in the Great Song Dynasty, he has never had. In his heart, he repeatedly warned himself to keep a low profile, but he easily defeated the royal city of Goryeo, did he keep a low profile?

"Wu Yong, do you know what is the most important thing in our army at the moment?"

"This ......"

Wu Yong felt that he should be farming, but he was afraid that he would be beaten by Li Kui if he spoke out.

Wu Yong had eaten Li Kui's whip, when Chao Gai led them to raid the silver convoy of Huitong Qianzhuang in Shilipo, the heroes of Dongxi Village were annihilated, and he and Chao Gai were tied to a wooden stake by Li Kui's men, and they couldn't die if they wanted to die.

Facing Li Kui, Wu Yong has an unspeakable psychological shadow.

I'm afraid I won't want to get rid of it in my life.

In particular, Li Kui, a person as irritable as Li Kui, is still a student of Sumen, a top student who passed the palace exam, he can't figure it out, is talent really so important, and there is no point in studying hard in his cold window?

"Please show me the king!"

After Li Kui became the king in a daze, Wu Yong's tone towards Li Kui was almost extremely respectful. It's a pity that Li Kui didn't appreciate it, but was a little angry and said: "We are conquerors, and from the moment we set foot on this land, we will inevitably be hostile." Any Huairou policy does not apply to us. It can be suppressed, and it can't be used all the time, and when people die, who will collect taxes from? Therefore, the best way to get more people to benefit is now. ”

"This ......"

Wu pondered carefully, and it really looked like this.

On the contrary, Gongsun Sheng did not consider the people's livelihood, but said in a low voice: "Now that our army is small, the food, grass and ordnance are enough, but in the face of the enemy army of 100,000 or even more in Goryeo, how to break the situation is the key." If we can draw out these main forces and overcome them in one battle, we can be regarded as truly gaining a foothold in Goryeo. ”

"This matter is difficult to say, our army has few soldiers, and if we go to conquer one city after another, we will inevitably be troubled by the division of troops. It's easy to say, just attract the other party. Goryeo's current system is different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is a bit similar to the Western Xia, but the Western Xia is a tribe, and it is a fief of an aristocratic family. Land and population are the most important things for aristocratic families. By the decree of King Ben, Goryeo abolished the fiefdoms of the family and nationalized them, and the people changed to the Juntian system according to their population. Li Kui waved his hand and made a decision immediately.

"Don't be a king!"

Even Liu Chengzhi, a Goryeo traitor, didn't speak, but Wu Yong stopped him first. But after he opened his mouth, he regretted it, no one responded to him, and in the face of Li Kui's monstrous momentum, he scolded in his heart: "I said that I would advance and retreat together with righteousness, and let this book be this cannon fodder, a bunch of unrighteous guys." ”

Wu Yong's sad state of mind no one cares at all, after all, even Chao Gai feels that against Li Kui, the position must be clear, and the result of standing on the opposite side of Li Kui is very tragic, they have all experienced it.

Li Kui raised his hand to stop Wu Yong's objection and said, "Goryeo is still too big for us. It is certainly unrealistic to want to attack one city after another, not to mention the time-consuming and laborious journey, and the journey is tiring, and I don't know how much it will cost on the march. Moreover, we don't need too many Goryeo people who surrendered, especially the Goryeo families who have preserved their strength. It is absolutely impossible to gain the trust of this king without any merit. If you want to gain my trust, in addition to meritorious service, it can only be a kind gift from this king. And this kind of land is only enough for them to eat, nothing more. But for the majority of the poor who don't have farmland, that's enough to get them to support us. Of course, for the meritorious heroes, this king is not a stingy person and will give enough land. ”

Everyone looked at Liu Chengzhi, who was in a hurry and bowed down to be loyal to Li Kui.

Li Kui took the lead and said: "Liu Qing doesn't count, you have handed in the name of your own person." Li Kui was just talking, and he didn't even take it seriously.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, these words suddenly made Liu Chengzhi feel the urge to die for Li Kui. Of course, after impulse, there is still interest.

Li Kui continued: "For the family, they are not afraid of conquerors, they can't fight, and there is a way to surrender. But for us, their allegiance is ridiculous. If you just contribute a tax and surrender attitude, you can gain the trust of this king? This king doesn't need to! ”

"Breaking their original system and completely eliminating their high status and status will make them afraid, angry, and lose their minds. And abolishing the power of the family, this is the best way. Let the high-ranking families lose all their privileges, I want to see if they are in a hurry? ”

"But in this case, the family will inevitably entangle the army to besiege us......"

"How many people are there?" Li Kui said disdainfully: "Kill all these unconvinced, and you will be clean." The uniform field system is the best way, Wu Yongyou go back and ponder, a person, regardless of old and young, men and women, how much land is enough for them to eat and wear? Then, in Goryeo, the uniform field system was implemented, and the king wanted everyone to have their own land and food to eat, and spread it out, which was also benevolent. Mobilize everyone to spread it in various cities. ”

These words are like Hong Zhong Da Lu, deafening in the ears of everyone. Li Kui is going to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and it is also a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle for all the big families.

Li Kui said it soundly, but Wu Yong didn't believe it!

Can Li Kui be so kind?

Outside the main hall, he secretly asked Gongsun Sheng: "Brother Gongsun, what does this king mean?" ”

Gongsun Sheng thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "It is estimated that the king thinks that there are too many men in Goryeo and wants them to die more." ”

"This ...... Isn't it ......?"

Wu Yonggang wanted to say the word 'tyrant', but he couldn't say anything. Li Kui was not crowned emperor in the Central Plains, and his cruelty could not harm his own family.

"Brother Wu, does this matter? There are fewer Korean men, so you can replace them with cows! You don't have to be a man to farm. Gongsun Sheng thought about it, and still reminded: "Brother Wu, what you are doing now is not to measure the land, nor to support the people's livelihood, but to stabilize the streets of Kaijing." Do you think only one Liu Chengzhi can do it? The soldiers have been wild for three days, and once they can't control their temperament, I'm afraid that the first thing the king will be to condemn when the time comes. ”

"I ...... You can't kill anyone, can you? Wu Yong also knew that Kaijing was in chaos now, and Li Kui's soldiers had been in the wild for three days, and they were no different from bandits. What's even worse is that Liu Chengzhi's men and horses are more excessive than the Song people, and their purpose of robbing and killing people is not just greed and tyranny, but more for Li Kui to see.

In this way, Kaijing is even more chaotic.

Gongsun Sheng said viciously: "Then kill someone, whether it is your own people or Korean people, after the An Min list is issued, you dare to be a traitor, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" If you don't have enough manpower, go to the fifth uncle Li Lin, he likes this kind of anti-violence and peacefulness the most, and he can also steal the bully's house. ”

Gongsun Sheng is also a person with no bottom line, and when he opens his mouth, he has the urge to strangle Wu Yong. It's a pity that he is not Gongsun Sheng's opponent at all.

When the middle of the palace left, Li Quan and Hua Rong, who were guarding the palace, stayed, but they also arranged patrol soldiers outside the main hall.

With the night generals, the palace becomes eerie and uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Li Kui is the kind of person who is bold, and he doesn't go against his will at all. But the sudden sound made him almost scream: "Hao Sui, where did you come from?" ”

Hao Sui was a little depressed, he had been in the fleet, and after breaking the city, he followed Li Yun into the city and took control of the palace.

And then......

Hao Sui seemed to have entered a working state, and he did what a eunuch could do to the extreme.

He waited in the palace for Li Kui to enter the mastership, and then sent his carefully selected beauties, in this regard, his experience is absolutely first-class, and he has done this since he did things in the palace.

Hao Sui smiled: "Renjie...... No, the king, the former queen of Goryeo, Ha Ji, is already waiting for the king in the palace, and it is not too late to see if it is too late...... Don't worry, the old slave has already been trained and is absolutely obedient! ”

Li Kui covered his head and had a headache, why is Hao Sui so concerned about pushing women into the pit?
