After Jin Dongqing finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the court again.
After a while, Li Haoran said: "Grand Master, I don't understand why you value the Liangshan bandits so much? Yes, we failed before and let them occupy Incheon City. But that was because the soldiers and horses in Kaijing had not fought for a long time.
Their strength is low, so they are no match for them. If they were replaced by soldiers and horses from the northern border, they would definitely be able to defeat them."
Jin Dongqing frowned and said, "But they finally occupied Jeju Island."
Li Haoran said: "Jeju Island only has a few thousand soldiers and horses, and it has not fought for a long time. Later, we did not have sea ships. If we had enough sea ships, we would soon be able to quell the Liangshan bandits in Jeju Island. Liangshan only has a few thousand soldiers and horses.
, why worry?”
Jin Dongqing said: "Master Li's words are wrong. As far as I know, Liangshan does not have thousands of soldiers and horses. They now have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the number of their soldiers is still increasing. Liangshan does not
Ordinary thieves, they are a new political power. If they are allowed to continue to develop, they will definitely be a serious problem for us and may even destroy our country."
After Jin Dongqing finished speaking, Li Haoran showed a mocking expression on his face. Even the other ministers did not agree with Jin Dongqing's view.
"The grand master is really too worried. It's just a grass bandit. It's nothing! From Gu's point of view, we should still attack the north. The fighters in the north are fleeting now. If we don't fight now, we may not have such an opportunity in the future. As for
The Liangshan grass bandits and ringworm and scabies can be dealt with slowly in the future." Wang Ma, the King of Goryeo, said.
"Your Majesty..." Jin Dongqing wanted to persuade him again, but Wang Ma was no longer happy to say: "Grand Master, take a look, among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, besides you, who else thinks that Liangshan will become a serious problem?
?”
Jin Dongqing looked up and saw that everyone had expressions of disapproval. At this moment, Jin Dongqing was very sad and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't consider the disaster of Liangshan at this time, it will be a mistake for the country! In the future, Goryeo will be destroyed by Liangshan.
If we capture it, we won’t be able to survive! What will we do then?”
Wang Maru felt very unhappy, thinking what happened to Jin Dongqing? Why did he pay so much attention to a mere Liangshan grass bandit?
At that moment, Wang Ma said: "Grand Master, I think you have been a little tired recently. Why don't you go back and rest first? What do you think?"
Jin Dongqing let out a long sigh and said: "That's it, that's it! Since you don't listen to me, there is no point in my staying in the court... I think I might as well resign from the post of Grand Master and ask for your permission."
Retire your old age and return to your hometown."
"This..." Wang Ma was slightly stunned. To be honest, Jin Dongqing was a loyal minister. Although Wang Ma hated Jin Dongqing, he was unwilling to let Jin Dongqing leave the court. He immediately said: "Grand Master, please think again.
I can't live without the Grand Master."
Jin Dongqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "If the king agrees to deal with Liangshan now, I will stay, otherwise I will definitely leave."
Wang Yu had a sad expression on his face, and after a while he said: "Since the grand master insists, I will grant the grand master permission to resign and return to his hometown. If the grand master encounters any difficulties in his life, he can come to him at any time, and he will definitely do so."
I will solve it for the Grand Master."
Jin Dongqing sighed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty... I hope I can see Korea survive forever in my lifetime."
Jin Dongqing left here sadly. Everyone looked at Jin Dongqing with a little regret. At the same time, they all felt that this grand master was a little old and confused. Maybe resigning and returning home was really his best choice.
After Jin Dongqing left, the court discussions continued. King Wangma of Goryeo and his ministers continued to discuss the matter of attacking Yuanzhou and protecting Yuanzhou.
"What should we do about this matter? We must come up with a result today." Wang Ma said.
"Your Majesty, I think we still need to recruit troops to help the north." Li Haoran said.
After Jin Dongqing left, Li Haoran became the number one person in the court, and the King of Goryeo Wang Ma himself had plans to aid the north. He nodded and said: "Okay, then we will recruit troops... I think we should recruit at least 100,000 troops to assist the north."
.”
Li Haoran was overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Wang Ma had already made his decision, and the courtiers below no longer objected. At this time, Zhang Yan, who had spoken before, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think we can join forces with the Jurchens to capture Yuanzhou and Baozhou."
After Zhang Yan finished speaking, many ministers of the DPRK and China said: "We should unite with the Jurchens."
In fact, when the Jurchens first raised their troops, they sent an alliance invitation to the Koryo people and wanted to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom with the Koryo people, but the Koryo people did not agree at the time. Now that the Jurchens have captured Liaodong, the Koryo people will discuss it again.
It's already a little late for the alliance.
In the original history, Wanyan Aguda still respected Goryeo very much at the beginning and regarded Goryeo as a country of brothers. However, after he conquered Goryeo, he treated Goryeo as a vassal state. He could not do anything about Goryeo even though he was shouting around.
.
"Your Majesty, the Jurchen envoys have been staying in the capital. We might as well invite the Jurchens' envoys to discuss the alliance together," Li Haoran said.
"Okay, please invite the Jurchen envoy soon." Wang Ma said.
On this day, the Koryo and Jurchens formed an alliance and agreed to attack the Liao Kingdom together.
Until the beginning of June, the Koreans were unable to capture Yuanzhou and Baozhou City. At this time, the Jin finally took action. The Jin were extremely fierce and only sent 1,000 soldiers. It took less than three days.
In time, they captured the two cities of Yuanzhou and Baozhou. Yeruning died in the battle. After that, the Jin people obeyed the covenant and handed over Yuanzhou and Baozhou to the Koryo people.
The Goryeo people were overjoyed, and their ambitions became much bigger. Many Goryeo people wanted to restore the former Goguryeo territory.

"Goryeo actually formed an alliance with the Jin people. This is not a good thing for us!" Wu Dong, the governor of Incheon, got the information and frowned.
"The Governor is worried that during the Goryeo War, the Jin people will suddenly intervene?" Hua Rong said.
"Hmm...it's very possible." Wu Dong nodded.
"Grand Governor, when the time comes, we can send the navy northward into the Yalu River to guard the key positions. Then it will be difficult for the Jin people to enter the Goryeo border." Hua Rong said.
"It seems like this is the only thing we can do now," Wu Dong said.
With Liangshan's current strength, it is more than enough to deal with Goryeo, but if it is to deal with the Jin people, there is still a certain gap. Now Wu Dong does not want Liangshan and the Jin Kingdom to collide head-on. He hopes that after defeating Goryeo, he will consider the affairs of the Jin Kingdom.
.
The two discussed for a while, and Wu Dong suddenly said: "Hua Rong, let's go take a look at Gongsun Sheng's pigeons and see how they are being trained."
Hua Rong said: "Okay."
It turns out that during this period, Gongsun Sheng was actually cultivating "passenger pigeons". He was the descendant of Taiping Dao in the late Han Dynasty. Taiping Dao had many mysterious methods, and cultivating carrier pigeons was one of them.
"Grand Governor, can this carrier pigeon really deliver the message back?" Hua Rong didn't quite believe in the ability of the carrier pigeon and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course you can. After you meet Gongsun Sheng, you can seriously ask him for advice." Wu Dong smiled.
In fact, carrier pigeons have a certain history in China. During the Han Dynasty, when envoys went to the Western Regions, carrier pigeons were used to deliver messages. In the Tang Dynasty, carrier pigeons were used in battles. However, they were not widely used, so the effectiveness of carrier pigeons is known.
There aren't many people either.
In Europe, carrier pigeons began to be used to deliver messages during the ancient Roman era. Later, the results of the famous Battle of Waterloo were delivered to Rotherchilds through carrier pigeons. Until the First World War, carrier pigeons still played an important role in wars.
Carrier pigeons were the fastest method of transmitting messages in the world before the invention of the telegraph.
Soon after, the two came to Gongsun Sheng's pigeon loft and saw pigeons flying in the sky. Several pigeons landed on Wu Dong's shoulders. Wu Dong caught them with his hands and stroked them gently, but the pigeons did not fly away.
"What a good bird." Hua Rong said with a smile.
"Grand Governor, General Hua, you are here." Gongsun Sheng came out and said.
"How is it? How is your experiment going?" Wu Dong said.
"Very good... 30 pigeons were released from Jeju Island, and 27 of them returned, and it only took most of a day. In addition, pigeons released from Seoul, Ganghwa Island, Daebu Island and other places were also able to return smoothly, and the missing pigeons returned
The number is very small." Gongsun Sheng said.
"Is this true?" Hua Rong said in disbelief.
"Of course it's true. If General Hua doesn't believe it, you can take a few back and try it yourself." Gongsun Sheng said.
