Chapter six hundred and ninety-eight of the trembling Jin Dajiang
In September, the weather in the morning and evening is no longer so hot, on the contrary, the air-conditioning begins to appear. At the palace of Wojucheng, the capital of Goryeo, Li Cunren felt much more relaxed. At this time, the Jizhou Army had not launched an attack, so if he wanted to mobilize troops, he could only wait until It's next year. After all, the attrition of soldiers will be very serious during cold weather operations, but anyone who knows the military will not choose to mobilize troops at this time.
However, this good mood was all interrupted by the memorial of his important minister Li Yaoshi. When Li Yaoshi told several important ministers in the hall that there was a shortage of food in the treasury, Li Cunren, who was still absent-minded, immediately He sat up straight and said, "How could this happen? How could there be no food in the treasury?"
"Your Majesty, our food production has always been insufficient. The land for growing food is very limited. Most of our food has been purchased from outside. In the past, Baekje, Silla and Gaya all paid tribute to us every year. , even if it is not enough, you can still buy it by sea to the rich land in the south of Daqian."
Li Yaoshi did not continue what he said next, but Li Cunren had already understood the meaning, that is, all external routes are now cut off, and Goryeo is now like an isolated island that is besieged. If you can't get in, the things inside can't get out, so you'll be short of food.
"Has the sea route been blocked?" Li Cunren asked with a glimmer of hope, considering that he had a hundred thousand navy.
"Your Majesty, there are still ships that can go out by sea, but every time they travel, they suffer huge losses. The Jizhou Army has a kind of artillery that can hit very far away. It can attack us without getting close to them. It is really difficult to deal with. If not If we have enough warships, it will be very difficult to go to sea. But even so, the number of warships lost is far faster than the number of warships built. From this point of view, we can go to sea twice at most and purchase a limited number of warships. of food, then we will no longer have any advantage at sea."
Li Yaoshi was a member of the Li family and a distant relative of King Li Cunren, but he was very capable, so he was entrusted with an important role to manage the government affairs of the entire Goryeo. Even if he said so, it would not be false if he thought about it. The problems faced by Korea are already very serious.
Everyone in the hall was silent. A country can have no gold and silver, no education, and even worse, no need for clothes. Isn’t that how primitive people came here? But it must not be without food, otherwise If the people have no food to eat, they will change their sons for food, or worse, they will rebel; if the army has no food to eat, mutiny will occur, which will greatly shake the foundation of a country. At that time, I am afraid there will be no need at all. When outsiders come over, they themselves will be in chaos first.
If you think that this is really the case, wouldn't it be very dangerous for Goryeo?
"Your Majesty, we were fooled. Before, they didn't want to attack at all, but were always defending. Now, I'm afraid they have made all preparations to surround us. They are going to trap us to death." General Li Yongqian suddenly thought of something and said with a sad and angry look.
With this reminder, Li Cunren thought of all the previous events, and his complexion became even more ugly. He couldn't help but say, "Does this King Ji really have such ambitions to surround and kill the lonely Goryeo? He really does? Isn’t this possible?”
No one answered their king's words. The matter was already obvious and there was no need for anyone to answer. Now what they have to consider is what will happen next if Korea is really without food?
"Your Majesty, send out troops. Instead of being completely trapped to death, it is better to fight a battle. Once we win, all crises will be resolved." It was General Li Yongqian who had the idea.
Ordinarily, this method is undoubtedly the most correct choice. Unfortunately, Tang Ao has already prepared for defense. If he attacks now, the losses will be huge, and the outcome is unknown. And once the army is deployed, the money and food spent will be
At times times of normal times, Korea is currently short of food.
Li Yaoshi took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, if you deploy troops, food and grass are the first priority, so please be careful."
Li Cunren, who was already inclined to send troops, couldn't help but darken after hearing this. Yes, once troops are sent to fight, a lot of money and food will be spent. If you win, it will be easy. If you lose, even if the two sides confront each other, it will be difficult.
How long can you and the army last? Or how long can the food last?
Sending troops to fight is just a last resort. Now we still need to consider other methods. "Pass Jin Dajiang and ask him to send an envoy to see Park Deokfa. Isn't he carrying the banner of opposing the king? Then talk to him,
Let’s see what price we pay to solve the current predicament. In addition, when we sent ships to Daqiannan, our ships could not transport food, so we asked them to transport food over and told them that as long as the food arrived at the shore
, we can pay twice, no! three times the price.”
Based on the idea that money can make the world go round, Li Cunren wanted to borrow the power of businessmen or powerful people to provide him with food and grass. In this way, when the food arrives, it can solve the crisis, and even spending more money is worth it. These things
Over the years, Goryeo has saved a lot of money. And if food is not available, he does not have to spend a penny. Isn't it wonderful?
With these two orders, any method is feasible and the crisis in Goryeo can be resolved. From this point of view, Li Cunren is still a wise king.
However, neither of the two orders were related to the army. General Li Yongqian couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't we need to send troops?"
"Let me think about sending troops, think about it..." Li Cunren waved his hand. Soldiers are fierce and have no choice but to use this method to solve the problem. Of course, more importantly, he did not fully
Confidence can win this battle.
...
In a large courtyard in Beihan Mountain City, Jin Dajiang was a little trembling, especially when he saw that the soldiers around him looked at him with murderous intent. He felt that he was in a state of confusion, fearing
If the other party is impulsive, he will rush towards him with a sword. Although he is the king's messenger, Goryeo is weak now. Even if he is really killed, no one will seek justice for him.
While waiting hesitantly, footsteps finally came, and the energetic Pu Defa appeared in the hall and walked in front of Jin Dajiang.
For a while, Park Deok-po was very proud of himself. Baekje and Gaya were destroyed respectively, and the Silla family was the only one. Although there was a King Ji above his head, compared with the two annihilated kings,
The Pu family and the Ke family not only had nothing to do, but also received a lot and lived a very nourishing life.
When the Japanese were causing trouble before, Park Deok-fa asked countless people and looked at him with cold expressions. Who could have thought at that time that he would one day turn around? Looking at his former opponents now,
Don't feel too good about being a prisoner, with life and death depending on your own thoughts.
In a good mood, when he saw Jin Dajiang, Pu Defa laughed loudly and said, "Dajiang, speaking of which, we are not outsiders anymore. There is no need to be so polite. Please sit down."
At the beginning, Park Deok-po spent an unknown amount of money to obtain the status of an envoy from Goryeo and invited such powerful reinforcements as the Jiju Army for the Silla Kingdom. Jin Dae-gang was a deputy envoy at that time. After completing the mission, Park Deok-po
Naturally, he returned to Silla. Because of his good performance, Jin Dajiang was favored by Li Cunren and transferred to Goryeo as an official. I thought that the two of them would not have much intersection in this life, but I didn't expect that it would only be a short time before everyone turned out to be together again.
We met, or we met on such an occasion.
Jin Dajiang himself was capable, and Park Deokfa naturally saw it. At that time, he even persuaded the other party to let him come to Silla as an official. It was a pity that Jin Dajiang at that time simply looked down on the small country below. In his eyes,
, Goryeo is the orthodoxy. But who would have thought that orthodoxy would now turn to beg for mercy from a small country?
Yes, Jin Dajiang's face turned red after seeing Park Defa. However, considering his mission as an envoy, he had to grit his teeth and endure it, thanked him, and sat down under Park Defa.
Location.
"Dajiang, you must have an important mission here. Let's talk about it." He took a sip from the tea cup and had to say that this kind of Jizhou tea is delicious, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance, which is far better than the previous one.
Bitter tea is so much better.
The same fragrance entered Jin Dajiang's mouth, but it made him feel extremely bitter. He didn't think about drinking tea at all. Jin Dajiang was thinking about how to word it. Although he had already thought about it before saying it,
When facing Pu Defa, he realized that his preparation was still insufficient.
Park Defa didn't mean to urge him, he just seemed to want to taste tea, and the more he tasted it, the more he admired Ji Wang Tang Ao. The same thing tasted completely different after being used by others.
Maybe it's genius, maybe it's the reason why people become winners.
The two cups of tea were slowly consumed like this. Jin Dajiang still had no intention of speaking. Park Defa didn't want to wait any longer. With his current status, he didn't know how many things were waiting for him. He couldn't continue like this.
Go on wasting it. "Dajiang, why did the King of Korea call you here? If you continue to hesitate like this, I will no longer be able to accompany you."
Park Deok-po, who has been passed on to the throne, is now the king of Silla. Of course, he will also be the king of Goryeo in the future. Kim Dae-gang can only be regarded as a minor figure in his eyes, so naturally he will not waste too much time.
After listening to Park Deok-fa saying that he was leaving, Jin Dajiang finally did not dare to delay any longer, so he put down the tea cup in a hurry and said: "Dear little king of Silla, what our king means is that we are all from Goryeo, and things here are not the same."
It should be solved by ourselves instead of relying on others. Our king also said that as long as the Jizhou army withdraws, the king is willing to share the world with you in the future."
