Chapter 848: Please Get on the Thief Ship
Completely contrary to Yin Qiang's expectations, when he walked day and night for several days, and finally arrived at Busanpo, which was occupied by the "Song Kou", what he saw was a prosperous scene of peace and happiness among the people and harmony between scholars and merchants.
The tiny "village town" of Busan Po is filled with all sorts of things, most of which are brought from nearby villages, such as yellow rice, kimchi, and expensive cured meat. There are also government soldiers from Busan Pool guarding around, and those government soldiers don't look quite right, they actually have a bulging chest and a bulging belly, and they are full of energy.
What's going on? Got a full meal? No, how could the ordinary soldiers of the Great Goryeo Kingdom be well fed? Could it be that Ulju pays too little tax......
Yin Qian came in civilian clothes, but the government soldiers patrolling and guarding the "village city" still recognized him as an official at a glance - he was riding a tall horse with a retinue on horseback! Moreover, the entourage all carried bows and arrows and straight knives, and at a glance they knew that they were the soldiers of the noble family.
"This official!" A soldier who looked very thin, but his complexion was obviously much better-looking, stopped Yin Qiang, "Have you come to Busan Pool to visit Mr. Ruji and Mr. Su of the Song Kingdom?" ”
Great Confucian, how did you become a Great Confucian? They should be Song Kou!
Yin Qian didn't move, and asked the soldiers of Nafu: "Is Li Zhoumu of Ulzhou in Busanpo?" ”
"Yes," replied the soldier, "you are a friend of the governor." ”
"Ah," Yin Qian nodded, "Where is Li Zhoumu?" ”
"On the Shadow Island," replied the soldiers, "the Governor has gone to the Shadow Island with a thousand or hundreds of people to help the Great Confucian of the Song Kingdom build a school. ”
What the! Li Rulin, the pastor of Ulzhou, took people to help Song Kou repair the house, is this a defection to the enemy?
Seeing Yin Qiang's expression, the government soldier explained with a smile: "Don't you know, big official, the Song people on Jueying Island are good, seeing that our government soldiers can't eat enough, they took out hundreds of silks and asked Li Zhoumu to exchange yellow rice, pickles and salted fish for us...... We are now eating two meals of yellow rice and kimchi a day, and we can eat it openly, and we can also eat Tamna salted fish. ”
Isn't it just some yellow rice, kimchi and salted fish? Just bought you Goryeo soldiers? Are you worthy of the king's favor in this way?
Yin Qian was really angry and disappointed in his heart. However, he didn't have too much to worry about a villain, so he took his entourage through the city and went to the pier in Busanpo. found a small sampan of the Goryeo navy, and asked an attendant to show an official notice, and then took this small boat to cross the sea to Jueying Island.
Jeordo Island is a hilly island and not an ideal commercial center. It's just that on the east side of the island, near the beach, it's relatively flat, and there are some docks for fishing boats scattered around.
By the time Yin Qian arrived, the area had become a huge construction site. The flat land used to build the city has been cleared, and small workers recruited from Ulju are gobbling up rice and broth. The broth was very fragrant, it should have been added to the ingredients, and it floated into Yin Qiang's nose, which made the important minister of the Goryeo Kingdom swallow his saliva unconsciously.
In addition to the Goryeo people who were eating broth and rice, Yin Qian also saw many Song people, dressed in silk clothes and holding unknown measuring tools in their hands, measuring on the newly leveled land, sprinkling lime powder and sprinkling straight white lines.
There are also many building materials, which are being transported by small Korean workers from the Song Guoda merchant ships docked at the docks, and large bags of red bricks and stones, neatly and neatly, as if cut out with knives and axes.
In addition, there are teams to pull timber in the nearby hills, also shouting trumpets and pushing carts full of timber, coming and going, so lively. Of course, the strong workers who work are also the people of Goryeo. They were all beaming, and they looked much happier than when they were serving as a conscription for King Wang.
Needless to say, these Koreans must have taken the money of the Song people...... Yin Qian sighed and thought to himself: Copper coins are really things that corrupt people's hearts. When you take the money, you don't know what loyalty is. When I return to Xijing, I must give the king a clear name, prohibit copper coins, and it is better to barter in the future!
There are people on the dock who know the guests in Jingdong City, and the front and back lines are all businessmen of the Ji family who were born in the sea, and their eyes are very sharp, and they have already met them at this time. One of them could also speak Goryeo, and after a bow, he asked, "This official has come to the island to visit my family, the official of Ji?" ”
Yin Qiang's entourage took out a name card and handed it to the Ji family, "The head of the family is Mr. Tongxuan of the Poping Yin family, who came to visit Mr. Ji and Mr. Su on the island. ”
……
"I don't know that Yin Dashen is coming, I have missed the distance, forgive my sins, forgive my sins."
"I have heard the name of Yin Dashen for a long time, and I can finally see it today, and it is not worth the trip."
"Yin Dashen, why don't you let people know the lower officials in advance, and the lower officials can arrange entertainment......
In a temple that had been emptied a long time ago, Yin Qian finally met Ji Yi and Su Shi, as well as Li Rulin, the governor of Ulzhou, Goryeo.
Li Rulin has now become friends with Ji Yi and Su Shi. Moreover, it opened the door to the construction of Jueying Island and helped recruit a large number of laborers, which was originally thought to be high and far away in Ulzhou, and the imperial court would not know about it at all. But I never expected that Yin Qiang, who participated in the political affairs of the governor, would actually visit ...... That's a bit of a hassle! The king has issued an order not to allow the Goryeo people to go to Jedi Shadow Island!
"Li Zhoumu," Yin Qian glanced at Li Rulin, and just smiled, "This official and the two guests from the Song Kingdom have something to say, you better go back to Busan Pool first." ”
Li Rulin dared to disobey Yin Qiang's order, so he could only leave with his tail between his legs. Yin Qian sighed, and looked at Su Shi, who was still familiar with him, with gloomy eyes, "Mr. Zhongnan, you have come all the way to my Goryeo, first captured Tamna, and then occupied the Shadow, what do you want?" ”
Su Shi glanced at Ji Yi, in today's negotiation, Ji Yi is the protagonist!
Wu Haogu handed over such an important matter to Ji Yi, who had a holiday with him, just to let Ji Yi accept a vote.
Everyone did the bad things of colonial aggression together, and the court will investigate it in the future, but no one has run away!
Ji Yi smiled, picked up the tea soup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I heard that your Goryeo Kingdom is now training its troops all over the country, and you want to be ashamed of the defeat of Xue Hao?" ”
"That's nature!" Yin Qian said.
"But you can't beat the birth girl really ......" Ji Yi shook his head and said, "I know that I want to lose, why bother endlessly and really can't get along with the birth girl?" ”
"This ...... It's none of your business, right? When Yin Qian asked rhetorically, he was a little weak.
To be honest, he doesn't know if Da Song and Sheng Juzhen colluded? If there is, then Goryeo will be in big trouble!
"Your king just wants to open up the territory and show off the country's prestige." Ji Yi said, "But I didn't expect that Shengnu was so powerful, with only a few hundred people, she defeated the tens of thousands of troops of the Goryeo Kingdom twice, it's really a bit embarrassing!" ”
"Nonsense!" Yin Qian said, "There are obviously thousands of people in the Jurchen army!" ”
Ji Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yin Dashen, do you really think that I only bet on your Goryeo Kingdom with the Son of Heaven?" Let me tell you the truth, the two battles of Haolaidian, including the battle of Pidengshui under the personal command of Yin Dashen, were all watched by the generals of our dynasty. ”
"You ......" Yin Xuan's face darkened when Ji Yi said something.
Ji Yi continued: "According to the report of the general of the army sent by our dynasty to watch the battle, in fact, your Goryeo army can still ...... It's a little worse than the West Thief, and it's definitely not as good as the soldiers and horses of my Great Song Dynasty. But it's not useless, it's just that the Northern Expedition was really a mistake. You can't win against those people! If you insist on fighting the third battle of Lazydian, I am afraid that the mistakes of Sui Yang will be repeated, and it will be repeated in Goryeo. ”
Yin Qian frowned, and seemed to have heard a little bit of extraneous sound.
"Ji Shibo, do you mean that my elite soldiers in Great Goryeo are in the wrong place?"
Ji Yi smiled, "Obviously there are weak enemies who can be bullied not to attack, but they want to provoke the invincible Jurchens, isn't it in the wrong place?" ”
"The Enemy Who Is Weak and Bullying Is ......"
"Of course it's Japan!" Ji Yi smiled, "Besides the Japanese, who else can you Koreans bully?" Do you want to fight with Liao? ”
What Ji Yi is talking to Yin Qian now is not what Wu Haogu explained. But in these days, a good envoy must dare to make his own decisions! Because there is no means of communication to keep in touch with the country, if you have to ask for instructions on everything, then it will be difficult to run errands. Especially Ji Yi has to go to the Great Food Country for a while, if he can't take any ideas, it will be bad.
Therefore, Wu Haogu sent him to Goryeo, which was also to test his ability.
Yin Qian didn't expect that Ji Yi would instigate Goryeo to invade Japan, so he didn't know how to answer for a while, but just looked at Ji Yi and Su Shi in a daze.
Ji Yi smiled: "You have soldiers, we have ships, and Japan has neither." As long as we join forces on both sides, are we still afraid that Japan will not be convinced? If you can bring Japan to its knees, won't the prestige of your king be established? ”
"However, the population and land of Japan are no less than those of Goryeo, and the terrain is not conducive to the performance of large armies, so it is very difficult to pacify." Yin Qian looked at Ji Yi, and in his heart he was thinking about what the traitor Wu Haogu behind Ji Yi was thinking.
Ji Yi shook his head, "Why be calm? Grabbing a few islands is also opening up territory! For example, Tsushima and Yinqi, which are sandwiched between Japan and Goryeo, are empty, and as long as Goryeo sends thousands of troops and crosses the sea on the ships provided by us, they can easily succeed.
The land of these two islands is not smaller than that of Lazy Dian, right? And the Goryeo Kingdom is sure to win, isn't it a good opportunity for Zhang Guowei to be great? ”
Yin Qian looked at Ji Yi and asked with some uncertainty: "Then what kind of benefits can you get from it?" ”
Ji recalled: "We don't need the land and population of Japan, we just want Japan to open up to trade and pay tribute to our Great Song Dynasty!" ”
