Speaking of Park Fengli, his ability is only average, but he is more cautious in doing things. In addition, Park Deokfa and others have good abilities. With their full assistance, the small country of Silla has achieved a certain development in these years. Comparatively.
It's still a far cry from Korea.
It was precisely because he saw the gap between the two sides that he was shocked when he heard Park Deok-pha say that the chief of staff of the Jizhou Army proposed a major rebellion against Goryeo. If this proposal had not come from Park Deok-pha
, I am afraid that he will call the guards to come and arrest him.
"Goryeo has an army of 200,000 and a navy of 100,000." Seemingly knowing that the confiscation of homes and genocide frightened everyone, Park Fengli added another sentence, intending to tell everyone that the strength of the Goryeo army was impressive, and the number alone was impressive.
It's amazing. It's like the small country of Silla. It only has an army of 20,000 people and a navy of 20,000 people, a total of 40,000 people. And there are some elderly people among them. I'm afraid there are only half of the real soldiers in their prime.
Just counting.
With only 20,000 strong soldiers, even with the help of the Jizhou Army, could they defeat Goryeo, which had 300,000 troops? It seems that the Jizhou Army did not have many troops.
Pu Fengli obviously disapproved of the rebellion, but he also knew that this was an opportunity for the Pu family. After letting this opportunity pass, the Pu family would stay in the small country of Silla forever, unable to leave.
.
Pu Fengli was worried about losing the battle. If that happened, the Pu family would be in disaster. However, he forgot an important thing, and Pu Defa happened to think of it. When he saw Xiao Wang disagreeing,
, he finally said: "Your Majesty, two brothers, have you ever thought about why the Jizhou Army told us this matter? Could it be that he is interested in the 20,000 soldiers in our hands and wants to borrow our strength?"
"Huh? Hiss!"
Those who can sit here are obviously smart people. After Pu Defa reminded them, the other three people took a breath. Yes, why did the Jizhou Army tell them that they were really interested in the 20,000 yuan in their hands?
Young and strong? But in fact, the combat power of these 20,000 people is just mediocre. Pointing at them, no matter whether they join any party, they may not play a decisive role. But they still told themselves, obviously not to borrow money.
It's a trend, but it should be a borrowed name.
In other words, the Jizhou Army had already made the decision to annex Goryeo and joined forces with the Park family. It just wanted to use their name to send a signal to the outside world that the Goryeo Kingdom should still be managed by the Goryeo people themselves.
, they have no intention of annexation.
Although what was being done was an act of annexation, with the Park family as its banner, at least it would look much better from the outside.
In the same way, whether the Pu family agrees or not, it will not change the Jizhou Army's attitude. What can be changed is the partners of the Jizhou Army's cooperation. If it is not the Pu family, it may be the Zhang family, the Li family, and the Wang family.
The Jizhou Army can choose who to cooperate with, but the Park family has no choice. Either agree and cooperate with the Jizhou Army, or wait to be eliminated. As for informing the King of Goryeo, haha, the Jizhou Army did nothing.
Well. And once the Jizhou Army knows about the matter, they only need to withdraw the army from Silla, and the Japanese Navy will definitely come after hearing this, and it will be the Pu family who will suffer at that time.
After all, we are still weak and cannot rely on others. We all thought of everything we could think of, and then realized that they seemed to have no choice. Even so, the four people's eyes met again, and then
The eyes of the other three people fell on Xiao Wang Pu Fengli.
Knowing that he was waiting for him to express his position, Pu Fengli nodded solemnly and said: "Even if everyone's opinions are unified, let's go ahead and see if there is anything we can cooperate with. We will cooperate fully.
"
With the final word made, the Pu family got into Tang Ao's chariot, and it was still the kind of chariot that got off as soon as it got up.
...
Ningcheng.
Tang Ao returned to the place where the former loyal king ruled, and saw that order here was being restored, with a satisfied smile on his face.
As Tang Ao's chief disciple, Ning Feng was standing on one side. At this time, he also had a new identity, the governor of Liaozhou.
Speaking of which, Ning Feng used to be just a low-profile household official, only a little taller than the official. But since meeting Tang Ao, his status has been rising slowly, and now he has become a direct official.
As a parent official in Yizhou, I also feel a lot of pressure.
There was nothing that could be done about this. Although Tang Ao tried his best to recruit talents, there were still not many talented people who could be truly trusted, so he could only force Ning Feng to be promoted. Fortunately, this person was very obedient, and
I also had the experience of being in charge of a political party. Although the time was not very long, the progress was obvious. This can be seen from the fact that Ningcheng has now recovered as before.
"Not bad." Tang Ao said.
"Thank you for your teacher's praise, but Feng still feels that there are many shortcomings." Ning Feng naturally did not dare to say it in a flattering manner.
"It's okay. Correction of shortcomings is that people always have to have their first time before they can truly grow up. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can write to Mr. Zeng and Mr. Han. Of course, if anyone dares to make trouble,
If so, you don't have to be polite, especially those powerful people. When necessary, you have to kill two to scare others. In short, feel free to do it, as long as the truth is with you, as long as you are sincerely thinking about the people, no matter what happens, for
The teacher will protect you."
Tang Ao showed his full support, and Ning Feng was greatly moved and bowed to him immediately. It can be said that with these words, he can take greater steps in his next work.
In the following time, Tang Ao gave some instructions, such as ensuring that the Quartet Army in Pingcheng had enough military rations, distributing land as soon as possible to reassure the people, and cooperating with the army in recruiting troops.
Although Liaozhou is also the northern capital of Jizhou, its population and wealth are much better than Jizhou's. By occupying this place, Tang Ao's strength can be further expanded.
Naturally, Ning Feng wrote down everything one by one, and then left. As soon as he left, Shi Lei came over with a secret letter, "Master, news came from the Pu family. They agreed to our proposal and said they would fully
cooperation.”
This result did not surprise Tang Ao. This is an opportunity for the Pu family to develop and grow. Anyone who is not a fool will seize it. As for how much benefit the Pu family can get from this matter, it is
Let's see if they know how to behave. Tang Ao will not let them suffer if they take orders from him, but if they have other ideas or even rebel, then he doesn't mind slapping them to death.
"Well, that's the case, just tell the relevant people to take action." Tang Ao nodded and looked in the direction of Goryeo. Now that the war in the Central Plains is about to begin, everyone's eyes are focused there. It is him
It's a good time to capture Goryeo. Only in this way can we develop and strengthen ourselves without getting involved in the Central Plains war. When he appears on the battlefield of the Central Plains again, it will be the time when the Dragon is born in the Nine Heavens.
Naturally, there are two huge benefits to winning Korea: sea routes and population.
The former can open up trade routes, open connections with the outside world, earn more money for the Jizhou Army, and strengthen more confidence. The latter, with enough population, can do more things that it wants to do but cannot.
When technology was not developed, population often represented huge productivity.
For Goryeo, Tang Ao is bound to win. Although trying to win this place with the current strength of the three states will give people the feeling of a snake swallowing an elephant, but with the helplessness of mental arithmetic, who can say that it will not succeed?
With the Pu family as an internal support, things will only become much simpler.
Tang Ao's eyes were far-reaching and profound, as if he had reached the realm of Goryeo across thousands of mountains and rivers.
...
The small country of Silla.
The Park family, which originally seemed to be united, suddenly became chaotic, and news spread that Park Deok-fa and Park Fengli, the young king of Silla, had different ideas and had a quarrel, which eventually evolved into a fight.
It's just that this is an internal matter of the Park family after all, and it has not attracted too many people's attention. Even those who know about this matter are secretly happy in their hearts. Maybe they are hoping that the Park family will be in chaos, and more outsiders will be attracted.
Gained.
In the eyes of outsiders, the affairs of the Pu family are internal affairs of the family. However, the strength of the Jizhou Navy has aroused many people's uneasiness, especially the ship of 10,000 horsemen of the Shanshan Guard who came directly to Goryeo by sea.
At that time, I don’t know how many people were panicked.
Among them, Xiao Wang Kexiang of the small country of Gaya was the most nervous. He knew very well in his heart that in order to divert the attention of the Japanese, they sent the route of the Jizhou military merchant ship out. He originally thought that the Japanese would definitely be there.
They won victory at sea, but they never expected that they would be defeated, and now they have fallen into passivity.
The moment he learned that the Japanese Navy had failed, Ke Xiang was mentally prepared. When he heard that the Jizhou Army might seek revenge on him, he immediately sent people to ask for help from the King of Korea. Whether it was Gaya or Silla, they were like
He was a vassal king in the Central Plains. Although he had the power to govern, in the eyes of outsiders, he was still affiliated with the great power of Goryeo. Once he was in danger, he could come to the host country for rescue.
Kewei set off after receiving the king's order, but the news would not come so quickly. When he heard that the Jizhou Navy had arrived at Zhenfan County near the sea and docked there, Kewei was frightened.
Bad. He immediately issued a strict order, ordering the officials of Zhenfan County not to have any conflict with the Jizhou Army. Even if the other party provokes, they must swallow their anger and just wait for a while, until there is news from the host country or reinforcements arrive, that
