Chapter 315: Arriving at Jincheng
Although Li Su was very resentful of this small country in later generations, but in this life, Silla and Baekje will be in his pocket, and the population resources are also an important reason why he likes this place, if too many people die in Silla due to a famine, then this place is not worth much.\\ But there is no free lunch in this world, and if the Silla people want to eat, they will have to pay the corresponding price, and if this famine is used well, their plan to control Silla will be smoother.
Thinking of this, Li Su smiled at Jin Shengman and said: "Don't worry, as long as Silla is smoothly handed over to me, then the current Silla people are the people of this king, and I will definitely not watch them starve to death!" ”
Hearing Li Su's assurance, Jin Shengman finally breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she was about to say some words of thanks, she heard Li Su continue: "But I have always believed that hard work can be gained, so no matter who wants to get food from me to live, they have to pay a certain amount of labor!" ”
"What do you want?" Jin Shengman asked a little uneasily, although what Li Su said seemed to be very reasonable, but she knew that her nominal husband was not a good person, he was not only the most favored prince of the Tang Dynasty, but also the largest slave trader in the Tang Dynasty.
"Don't worry, I won't take Silla or anything. It's just that I have some huge projects to do, so I need some manpower, so I will ask people to recruit workers in Silla, although the salary is not much, but the person is absolutely free, and I will definitely not let them be slaves. Li Su said with a smile, and he also saw Jin Shengman's concerns.
Li Su is obviously not as vicious as Kim Seung-man thinks, not that he doesn't want to reduce the Silla people to slaves, but the key is that if he really does this, I am afraid that it will cause the Silla people to resist to the death. In this way, the purpose of his previous marriage to Kim Seungman will be nullified, after all, if Silla is in chaos, it will not only make him spend a lot of effort to calm the chaos, but also slow down his progress, so he will never do anything that outweighs the loss.
"Is it really just work?" Jin Shengman is still a little worried, if it is really a labor for food, it is okay, but I am afraid that if someone is recruited, it will be okay. But she was relegated to slavery by Li Su, and she was powerless at that time.
"Believe it or not!" Li Su said angrily. He is a person with integrity, which is well known in the Datang business community, but he didn't expect to be suspected by Jin Shengman today.
Seeing that Li Su was angry, Jin Shengman didn't dare to ask again, so he had to force himself to believe his words.
After another two days, the road was finally opened, and Li Su and they went on the road again, but in this Golden Gate City, Li Su left 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard it. After all, this is the gateway to Jincheng, and the geographical location is very important, so Li Su needs to control this city in his own hands.
Jincheng is not far from Jinmen City, Li Su and they only took two days to reach Jincheng, and this is because the snow on the road has not been cleared, so it affects the speed of the road, if it is placed in good road conditions. It is estimated that it will arrive in a day and a half at most
Jinseong was already in sight, Li Su looked forward from the carriage and found that Jinseong was indeed worthy of being the capital of Silla, and the city walls were built very strong and tall. Although it can't be compared with cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, it can also be compared with a big city like the Tang Dynasty, and it is not easy to build such a city in a small country like Silla.
At this time, Kim Seung-man also opened his mouth and introduced: "Jinseong is the origin of our Silla, and after the perfection of the previous kings, it has now become the largest city of my Silla, only smaller than Pyongyang City, and it can be said that it is the second largest city on the peninsula!" ”
And when Jin Shengman said this, his face also showed a look of pride, obviously proud of his national capital. However, at this time, Li Su unceremoniously struck: "This is also a big city? It's not that you haven't seen us Dengzhou, so it's good to call it a big city, and if you compare it with our Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, your golden city is like a thatched house. ”
As soon as she heard Li Su's words, Jin Shengman immediately showed a depressed face, when she was young, she always thought that Jincheng was the largest city in the world, but after going to Pyongyang with her cousin last time, she found that Pyongyang was much bigger than Jincheng, and then she went to Dengzhou, and found that the city was several times more prosperous and lively than Pyongyang, as for Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, I heard that it was a bigger city than Dengzhou, which made her unimaginable, what kind of city is it?
"Hehe, it seems that the Jin Huan people have not been to Chang'an, and when there is a chance in the future, you will go to Chang'an with His Royal Highness, and then the slave maid will take the Huan people around, and by the way, taste the food of Chang'an, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chang'an, you will definitely be surprised!" At this time, Wen'er also said that Jin Shengman was not in good health in the past two days, and Wen'er had been taking care of her, so the two were very familiar.
"Oh, that's great, I've always heard that Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is the first city in the world, but I haven't had the opportunity to go, if I can visit it in person, it will be a great joy in life, and then there will be Lao Wen'er!" Jin Shengman also said with a smile when she heard it, she knew that Wen'er was very valued by Li Su, and the other party could help her in some things, so she also deliberately befriended Wen'er, which made the relationship between the two very good.
Seeing that the two women had brought the topic to Chang'an, Li Su hurriedly interrupted them, and asked Jin Shengman a little solemnly: "How many people are there in Jincheng now, and if I want to control Jincheng, who will jump out?" ”
Hearing Li Su ask about this, Wen'er retreated to serve tea very knowingly, and Jin Shengman thought about it for a while before saying: "Although Jincheng is the capital of our country, it is in the rear after all, and it is unlikely that Baekje will attack, plus the war on the front line is urgent, so most of the guards in Jincheng have also been transferred, and now there are only six thousand old and weak stationed in the city, and among these old and weak, half of them are in my hands, and the other half is in the hands of Jin Gengxin." ”
"Jin Gengxin!" Li Su also frowned when he heard this name, according to Jin Shengman, among the main messengers behind the assassination of her in Jinmen City, it is likely that one of them is Jin Gengxin, this is mainly because the other party is very close to Jin Chunqiu, and among all the royal families, Jin Chunqiu is the person who poses the greatest threat to Jin Shengman's throne, so the other party has enough reasons to assassinate her and clear the obstacles to Jin Chunqiu's accession to the throne.
"With only 3,000 soldiers and horses, if he dares to make any changes, this king doesn't mind killing chickens and monkeys!" Li Su said with some disdain, although he knew that Jin Gengxin was indeed a talent who led the troops, but no matter how high he could be, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy was useless.
However, Jin Shengman was not as confident as Li Su, but said with a solemn face: "Your Highness, don't underestimate Jin Gengxin, in addition to the three thousand soldiers and horses in Jincheng, he also has an elite in his hands, otherwise I wouldn't be so jealous of him." ”
Although Jin Shengman's impression of Li Su is still not improving, the two are now allies after all, so she needs to explain some situations in the country, otherwise if Li Su suffers, it will not be a good thing for her.
"Oh? No wonder so, how strong is that force in his hands? Li Su asked with some interest, although he has absolute confidence, but as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, don't underestimate your opponent at any time.
I saw Jin Shengman said with a solemn expression: "Jin Gengxin is the national immortal of our country, in charge of all the power of Hanamichiro, after his integration, the combat effectiveness of this force is very amazing, when we were attacked by Baekje, Jin Gengxin relied on this force to save the defeat in one fell swoop and push Baekje back!" ”
Li Su patted his head when he heard this, if it weren't for Jin Shengman's reminder, he would have almost fooled this information, in the information that Wu Meiniang gave him, the information about Jin Gengxin had specifically mentioned these.
The so-called Hanamichiro, in fact, is a non-governmental organization in Silla, is the predecessor of the ancient Korean martial arts, taekwondo, many Silla soldiers and folk youth are a member of this organization, and their leader is called the national immortal, Kim Gengxin is not only a talent who leads the army to fight, but also is extremely good in personal martial arts, he became the leader of Hanamichiro in his early years, and after he became the first person in the Silla military circle, he selected elite people in Hanamichiro, and then integrated them to become a trump card army in his hands.
"Hanamichiro, this is a trouble, I heard that they have five thousand people, not only have strong personal quality, but also the overall combat effectiveness is also good, if it is hard work, I am afraid that I will suffer some losses!" Li Su muttered to himself in a heavy tone.
He is not afraid of Hanamichiro, but he is worried that if the other party fights to the death, he will let his soldiers have some casualties, these are all to lose money, and among the 15,000 people he brought from Dengzhou, all of them are integrated by the slave capture team, and the combat effectiveness is indeed there, but compared with the regular troops of Datang, there is still a little gap, plus these are all seeds in his own hands, Li Su does not want to suffer too much loss in the first attack.
However, Kim Seung-man sighed and corrected: "Your Highness is wrong, not five thousand, but three thousand, in the last battle with Baekje, Hanamichiro also paid huge losses, and a full two thousand people fell on the battlefield." ”
Speaking of this, Jin Shengman sighed in her heart, she was personally very grateful to Hanamichiro, because the other party was a hero who defended the country, but now she had to be their enemy, because with Silla's existing strength, she couldn't stop Li Su's attack at all.
And when Li Su heard that there were only 3,000 people left, he ignored Jin Shengman's angry gaze, raised his head and laughed, only 3,000 Hanamichiro, can he still stop his 20,000 army?
It's a pity that when Li Suzhi was about to enter Jincheng with a large army with a large army, he didn't expect to encounter another big trouble.
