Uncle Cui An hurriedly took the gold cake, felt the warmth brought by the gold, and smiled like a flower on his face.
Although he still doesn't know whether the governor in front of him will take him in, the gold cake in his hand is enough for him to betray his country.
"Excuse me, Commander. I have admired the Commander for a long time, and I must know everything that I can tell you."
Lin Renzhao had enough time to let Uncle Cui An sit down and said, "Since you want to tell everything you know and say everything, you can just say it yourself. For nearly half a month, I will say whatever comes to my mind and whatever I think is important. The more useful the information you tell me, the more information I will get." The more rewards you receive, the more rewards there are.”
Uncle Cui An was immediately excited.
As a young man in his mid-20s, Uncle Cui An was very professional. When Xun Zhi came to the door, he had already sorted out everything he knew. When he answered now, he was not sloppy at all.
"Go back to the Governor..."
"A person named Teru Kubo was first responsible for controlling Busan. They were very friendly to us and told us that they sent troops to avenge the people of Tsushima Island. They only targeted the murderers and would not attack innocent people."
"They did do this in the beginning, at least in Donglai County. They showed their friendly side and did not do anything wrong to the people in the county. They even hired people to carry goods at high prices. The wages were exactly the same and the food was not bad. Very good. At that time, many people in the county praised the Japanese for being a benevolent and righteous teacher, and even hoped that they could stay in the county for a long time."
Lin Renzhao did not find it strange. Busan Port is connected to Tsushima Island and is an important logistics supply place.
If the Busan port is in chaos, Japan's food routes will not be guaranteed.
Japanese people still have brains
Lin Renzhao did not interrupt Cui Anshu and let him continue talking.
"After the blockade of Tsushima Island, a general named Minamoto Mitsuru came. At first, he did not interfere in the affairs of the county. He stayed at the dock and port and did not go anywhere. At that time, the young man did not know what he was doing. Now it seems that they want to contact the local situation in Tsushima or Japan. This went on for several days until news of the rebels came from Andong Mansion. Minamoto Mitsunaka was no longer at the dock. Instead, he took over the military power from Teru Kubo. , build fortifications in the county.”
"Not to mention, this Yuan Manzhong is really quite capable. Not long after his fortifications were repaired, an insurrectionary army attacked, which he easily repelled."
"Yuan Manzhong repelled three waves of rebels in total. But after repelling the third wave, he suddenly launched an army to plunder Donglai County and plundered all the food and other supplies in the county."
When Cui Anshu said this, there was a hint of fear in his eyes, and he said: "The Japanese country is indeed like what it says in the slogan. They behave like beasts. They regard killing as fun. When they plunder, every household is poisoned. Nowadays, Every household in the county wears linen and mourns, and people with white hair send people with black hair. Fortunately, the little one hid well, otherwise he would have no chance to see the governor."
Lin Renzhao couldn't help but frown when he heard this, but he still didn't interrupt Uncle Cui An.
Uncle Cui An continued: "After plundering the county, Yuan Manzhong led all the soldiers to the north, probably to Kaicheng."
Lin Renzhao finally intervened and said, "How do you know? Can you guess?"
Uncle Cui An hurriedly said: "Just yesterday, I heard the news about Yuan Manzhong. He defeated tens of thousands of rebels with less and defeated more in Ningchuan County on the bank of the Han River, and went north. Governor, this Ningchuan County Isn't Kaicheng just north of Chuanjun? If Yuan Manzhong doesn't go to Kaicheng, can he go directly north to Khitan?"
Lin Renzhao took out another gold nugget and threw it over, saying: "That makes sense!"
Cui Anshu was even more interested and said: "After Yuan Manzhong left, there was no owner in the county. Li Xingyou of Andong Mansion sent someone to take over the rule."
Lin Renzhao said: "Then you can talk about the internal rebels in Goryeo?"
Uncle Cui An nodded and bowed, and said: "As for the rebel army, I don't have personal experience, most of it is hearsay. Whether it is true or not has to be judged by the governor himself."
Lin Renzhao motioned for him to continue.
Uncle Cui An said: "The rebels in the Andong Mansion were indeed started by a man named Hu Mo who couldn't survive and dragged his relatives and friends to start a rebellion. But the people are the people. No matter how huge the momentum is, it is just a small flame.
, what really ignited was the powerful Jin family. Li Xingyou was a descendant of Jin Yuxin back then, and he was from the matrilineal family. Now
After taking control of Anton, the Jinzhou generation is still in Jincheng. The prince has also raised an army. They have captured Jincheng and are calling on all the rebels to follow his orders."
When he said this, there was a hint of mockery on his face.
Lin Renzhao interrupted casually: "The Crown Prince of Korea is still alive?"
Luo Youdu had already told Lin Renzhao about Chen Chuyao's situation.
Uncle Cui An said: "It should be alive. It is said that it was Wang Zhao's arrangement before his death that Chen Chuyao and the prince fled from Kaicheng?"
Lin Renzhao asked: "From your tone, it seems that you have other thoughts about your king?"
Cui Anshu said angrily: "There is a saying from the sage of the Central Plains: If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if the king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as his own countrymen.
The king is like an enemy. The governor is not a villain who does not know justice. He is both a leader and a mouse. It is really Wang Zhao who is not worthy of being a king. Their Wang family relied on our powerful and noble people to win the kingdom. However, in just a few generations, they are adding insult to injury and do not miss the past.
Qing. My father once helped Wang Zhao launch a coup to oust Wang Yao. He was originally a noble man in the temple. But because he offended his father and mother, he was demoted, punished and humiliated, so that he died of grief and anger. The younger one was also exiled to a corner of the border town. This is what happened.
Why should the monarch let them die for him?"
"Captain, you are definitely not a young man who has this idea. As far as I know, no one in the rebel army led by powerful nobles responded to the so-called prince's call."
It is not unusual for this king to confiscate nobles and powerful men in order to consolidate his royal power.
However, Wang Zhao had no sense of propriety, and he did not have the talent to control the overall situation. As a result, the trend of informing became very popular. It was common for slaves to report on their masters, and for sons to report on their fathers. A large number of innocent people were unjustly killed, and many even the clan could not be saved.
, everyone is in danger and dare not say anything.
The historical record is: "The female gangsters competed fiercely and slandered the great prosperity. The gentlemen had no room for them. The villains got their ambitions. Then the sons rebelled against their parents and were slaves to their masters. The superiors and subordinates were separated from each other. The monarch and his ministers were disintegrated. The old ministers and generals killed the barbarians one after another.
, flesh-and-blood relations and marriages are all destroyed."
It can be seen that Wang Zhao’s methods are ruthless
Such a king will naturally not be respected by others.
Seeing that Uncle Cui An couldn't say anything else, Lin Renzhao waved for him to go down.
After Cui Anshu left, Lin Renzhao was silent for a moment, looked at Sun Yanxiang, Zheng Yan, Song Keming, Mon Yan and other generals under the tent and said: "What do you think of Yuan Manzhong abandoning Busan?"
Many place names in Goryeo overlapped with Xia Duo, so many place names were modified on the maps in the hands of the Central Plains generals.
For example, Dongnae County in Goryeo, Busan is marked on the summer map.
Sun Yanxiang shook his head and said: "The general is a bit incomprehensible. Even if Yuan Manzhong feels that we can't hold it anymore, there is no need to sack Busan and completely offend the people of Busan."
Song Keming took over Sun Yanxiang's analysis and said: "Unless Yuan Manzhong plans to completely abandon Busan, there is no reason for them to plunder Busan."
Lin Renzhao clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "The two generals are on to something. From a certain point of view, Yuan Manzhong has realized that he can't count on the rescue of the Japanese island. Busan can't be counted on at all, so he plundered away. He simply didn't
I never thought about how capable this person is if he comes back again. He probably saw our intention of annihilating them in the Malay Strait and decisively abandoned the place and left."
Sun Yanxiang frowned and said: "This is not going to be easy. Goryeo is surrounded by the sea on three sides and there are many small islands. If we really want to escape and break them into pieces, it will be difficult for us to intercept them."
He Yan said: "My subordinates think they dare not run away."
Lin Renzhao had a smile on his face and asked: "Captain Ma, tell me what you think?"
The Central Plains Navy has expanded rapidly and now has two major establishments: the East China Sea Navy and the South China Sea Navy. As the founder of the Central Plains Navy, Lin Renzhao still felt that the strength of the Navy was insufficient.
The Nanhai Navy controls the South China Sea with ease.
But the East China Sea is so big that it reaches from Liaodong to Ryukyu and Yizhou. If this battle goes well, Goryeo and Japan will be captured in one fell swoop.
This means that the entire eastern territory of the imperial court is under the control of the Donghai Navy. The current establishment of the Donghai Navy is simply beyond its capabilities.
Either expand the East China Sea Navy, or build another navy to share the East China Sea Navy's responsibility for the sea area.
But no matter what, a lot of talent is needed.
The imperial court of the Central Plains grabbed a handful of infantry and cavalry generals, and then
There are very few generals who are good at water, and most of them are from Jiangnan.
Lin Renzhao can only cultivate slowly.
Kuiyan was a surrendered general of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was a loyal man and one of the talents Lin Renzhao favored.
Historically, when the Song Dynasty was trapped in Jinling, hundreds of officials came out to meet him, but Kui Yan alone commanded hundreds of warriors to fight in the streets, and he died of defeat.
Nowadays, Monuyan has not been in the army for a long time and has not received any kindness from the Southern Tang Dynasty. He is certainly not ready to die for his country.
Yan Yan said: "We know how strong we are, but the thieves don't know. Unknown enemies are the most terrifying, and they should be afraid of us. Before they know our true strength, they can never act rashly.
If you go into battle, you don't dare to spread the power in your hands."
Lin Renzhao smiled and said: "With the current situation, staying on the Haidong Peninsula will only lead to death."
Wu Yan met Lin Renzhao's encouraging eyes and said: "According to my subordinates' opinion, they may go north to seek Khitan rescue. Or..."
He paused and said: "The safest policy is to stay in a defensible place, find out all the truth and facts, and then launch troops."
As soon as Yan Yan finished speaking, Lin Renzhao's eyes had already fallen on Jeju Island on the map, and he thought in his heart: "This is because the feng shui of the cemetery we chose is not good!"
He stopped talking about it and said to Xun Zhi: "Do you know Li Xingyou?"
Xun Zhi shook his head and said: "I don't know him personally, but I have heard of this man. He is very ambitious and is a rare learned man in Goryeo. He is very famous in Goryeo, and many learned men come from his school. But this man
He is a wealthy man from Yongzhou who has always been jealous of Wang Zhao and was demoted to Anton by Shuangji. He has always been resentful in his heart."
Lin Renzhao said with a smile: "God bless me! In this way, I would trouble Mr. Xun to go ashore, contact Li Xingyou, and tell him that your Majesty ordered me to conquer the Japanese country and ask him to give up Busan to test his attitude."
Xun Zhi said loudly: "No!"
Golden City!
Jincheng Palace.
The Crown Prince of Goryeo, Wang Min, who was less than ten years old, was sitting at the top of the table tremblingly.
Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen were on the left and right, as well as Cui Lang, Miao Shan, Zou Zhong and Lu Yao.
At this moment, everyone except Wang Nian looked down in horror.
Everyone among the civil and military officials, including Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen, was filled with righteous indignation.
Especially Jiang Gongzhen's tiger eyes almost spit out flames.
"This is unreasonable. Even if you don't obey the imperial edict, there is no need to kill my envoy."
Cui Lang shouted angrily, bowed to Wang Min and said: "Your Majesty, I propose to issue an edict to accuse Jin Xingbo of being a national thief, and order the people of the world to punish him."
Cui Lang is a wealthy businessman in Jincheng.
This time Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen fled to Jincheng with Wang Nian.
Cui Lang instantly thought of finding a good place to live, and strongly supported Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen.
The current military pay and food for both of them are supported by Cui Lang.
Cui Lang also got his wish and gained a high position, second only to Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen.
Wang Nian moved into Jincheng Palace and issued edicts to all directions, but very few responded, and most of them ignored the existence of Wang Nian, the crown prince of Goryeo.
However, Jin Xingbo refused to recognize Wang Nian, and specifically honored Wang Zhi, the second son of Wang Xu, the grandson of Goryeo Taizu Wang Jian, as the new emperor of Goryeo. He beat out the envoy sent by Wang Nian. On his way back to the country, he was attacked by thieves.
The messenger divided the body.
This happened within the territory of Pingzhou occupied by Jin Xingbo.
There is no doubt that it was Jin Xingbo who did it.
Cui Lang put his whole family on Wang Min, hoping to achieve the goal of serving the dragon. How could he want to see Jin Xingbo start a new career?
As soon as Cui Lang finished speaking, Miao Shan, Zou Zhong, and Lu Yao all agreed and loudly agreed.
Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen rose to power in Jincheng. Without exception, these ministers were from the surrounding areas of Jincheng, so they naturally turned to Cui Lang.
Wang Nian looked at the furious situation below and was so anxious that he almost cried. He looked at Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen with pleading eyes.
Chen Chuyao looked embarrassed, and Jiang Gongzhen was also irritable.
Logically speaking, they should follow Wang Nian's advice and identify Jin Xingbo as a national traitor, which is inevitable.
However, before the Japanese were eliminated, internal strife broke out, which was detrimental to the overall situation.
Just then, a piece of news came.
The Japanese country withdrew from Kaicheng and headed south.
Cui Lang's heart
Startled, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, we should immediately set out to recapture Kaicheng. After capturing Kaicheng, Your Highness will hold the two capitals in his hands, and he will be the legitimate lord of Goryeo."
Chen Chuyao glanced at Zou Zhong below, and then said loudly: "I agree with General Jiang's words, and we should immediately send troops to attack the city."
"No!"
Zou Zhong stood up with a big stride at this time: "We are one hundred and ten miles away from the city, and Jin Xingbo is only forty miles away from the city. By the time we arrive at Kaicheng, Jin Xingbo may have already captured Kaicheng and is gathering strength."
They are waiting for us. This thief has openly established a new king, and his rebellious intentions have been revealed. Can we send him to his door to seek death? I have a plan. Instead of going to Kaicheng, we will go directly to Jin Xingbo's Pingzhou to take away his lair and see what he can do.
