Chapter 234: Swallowing the Thirteen Islands

(Thanks to the reward of Luo Yi, the two hearts, summon a guaranteed monthly pass!) )

In the face of Li Jing's sophistry of reversing black and white and distorting the facts, Feng Zhangqi's seven orifices were full of anger. Finally, he was so angry that he couldn't care about this occasion anymore, so he actually pulled out a decorative gold and jade dagger from his belt, and rushed towards Li Jing, shouting: "The old man will die with the thief today!" ”

It's just that on today's occasion, there are more than ten generals with troops in the hall, which one is not a brave person. On such a grand occasion, how can everyone allow Feng Zhang to shout and kill. Dengzhou Prison City, which had a good relationship with Li Jing, made Han Zhong jump up directly, kicked the dagger in Feng Zhang's hand with a flying kick, and then arrived in Longshan soldiers and horses, Liu Jian and Dongmu guarded Xu Cheng, who immediately locked Feng Zhang's arm and held him down firmly. They have been getting along with Feng Zhang in Dengzhou for many years, and they have long seen Feng Zhang's appearance of eyes above the bottom, but today they took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Enough!" Cui Yunqing saw that Feng Zhang had completely lost his mind, and she was secretly happy in her heart. He pretended to have a majestic face on his lips, and shouted loudly: "Today is the gathering and mediation of all the halls, and this official represents the Qingzhou Song Festival Marshal and Wang Ya will come." Mediation is a serious and solemn matter, but I didn't expect the envoy to be so presumptuous. General Li Jing commanded everything solidly, you fornicated with pirates, and colluded with pirates to attack subordinates, and after the defeat, you sent troops to attack Li Jing again, and after the defeat again, you actually dared to change from a secret attack to an open attack. At present, the Marshal's Mansion is merciful, unwilling to raise swords, and specially sent this official to mediate, but you still want to assassinate General Li Jing in front of the court, you don't take this official and everyone in the hall in your eyes at all. Feng Zhang, what do you want? Do you really want to rebel? ”

"I'm not convinced. Cui Sima, you are Li Jingzhi's teacher. Nature favors him everywhere. I want to appeal to General Wang, I am not convinced! Feng Zhang shouted.

Cui Yunqing's face sank, "This official was entrusted by Song Jieshuai and Wang Ya General, Song Jieshuai and Wang Ya General both trust this official, what are you still clamoring for?" I see that you have been working as a blessing for a long time, and you don't know that there is still a Shangguan on the head of the road. Today, the evidence of your crime is conclusive, not only did you not deserve to be admonished, but you actually committed murder in court. It's unbelievable. Someone came, escorted him up, and prepared to escort him back to Qingzhou to be interrogated by Song Jieshuai and Wang Ya. ”

The four Cui Yunqing's family members came in and wanted to take Feng Zhang away. Wang Jingwen hurriedly jumped out at this time, although Feng Zhang was confused, he still had to protect it. Not only because of the soldiers and horses and territory in Feng Zhang's hands, but more importantly, the Wang family needs the full support of the Feng family.

"Cui Sima, please slow down." Wang Jingwen jumped out, "I think today's envoy is confused, and he is a little crazy." It's better to let the official bring the envoy back to the house first, and ask a few doctors to heal it well. How about mediating again tomorrow? ”

Cui Yunqing just said sternly. But in fact, it's just to scare Feng Zhang. When he came, he and Song Wei had already set the tone for this trip, no matter who was right or wrong this time. Anyway, the final result is mediation, not accountability. Song Wei and Wang Jingwu have no plans to do it now, so this outpost battle between the two factions is bound to be the end of a small fight, and both sides will definitely try their best to protect their own people.

To put it bluntly, at the level of Song Wei, who is right and who is wrong is not really the most important. The most important thing is to weigh and master.

However, although the tone of mediation has been set for a long time, there is still a lot of room for specific operation. Of course, the most important thing is interests, and Song Wei has long been aiming at the prosperity of Dengzhou Port. As one of the four major seaports of the Tang Dynasty and the only one in the north to trade at sea, Dengzhou Port is of great importance.

When the Pinglu army crossed the sea from Yingzhou in western Liaoning to Qingzhou to establish Ziqing Pinglu Town, it was very poor at first. However, because of the Anshi Rebellion, the land routes between Hebei and Saiwai, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other countries were completely blocked, and the sea and northeast were completely dependent on the sea routes of Shandong. The port of Dengzhou began to prosper extremely much, and the maritime trade routes were unusually prosperous. Li Zheng had already driven out the former marshal and since he became the marshal, with the help of the port of Dengzhou and the sea route of Dengzhou, he has concentrated on the smuggling trade, accumulating a lot of money and grain for him. Without the need for the imperial court to supply food and salary, and completely self-sufficiency in the local area, it didn't take many years to expand an elite army, and then cut off the territory and stand on its own, with 100,000 troops, and finally expanded Ziqing Town to Zi, Qing, Qi, Deng, Lai, Yan, Hai, Yi, Mi, Yun, Cao, Pu and other twelve prefectures, and once became the largest feudal town in the Tang Dynasty. And the town of Ziqing was divided and hereditary for nearly 60 years.

After the imperial court later pacified the town of Ziqing and divided it into three, Ziqing ostensibly began to be controlled by the imperial court, and successive envoys were appointed by the imperial court. But in fact, the foundation of Ziqing Town is still in the hands of the Pinglu Army, and among the 37,500 soldiers and horses of the Pinglu Army, there are many battalion heads, which are controlled by the heads of each army. The leaders of the most elite Qingzhou Tooth Army are all headed by the most elite Qingzhou Tooth Army, and the tooth generals of the Tooth Soldiers are basically the real masters of Ziqing Town.

Wang Jingwu's family has been Qingzhou tooth generals for several generations, relying on the most elite tooth soldiers in their hands. To support such an elite tooth army, a large part of the money and food came from Dengzhou Port. Feng Zhang and Wang Jin respectively master Da Xie Qi and Dengzhou Water Division, and it can be said that the two of them control the most profitable territory in Ziqing Town. The two handed over a large part of the money and grain to Wang Jingwu every year, and then Wang Jingwu and the army leaders divided the money and grain to support the army. Although Feng Zhang and Wang Jin left only a small part, they still let them raise a strong army. That's how the 20,000 horses and more than 100 fleets of Fengzhang came.

Song Wei came to Qingzhou, wanting to change the situation that Jiedu had no power, he used the opportunity of recruiting unity soldiers to take the 5,000 unity soldiers in Qingzhou in his hands, and joined forces with Cui Yunqing to recruit a pro-army battalion of 3,000 people. Although there are soldiers, the money and food of the army in the local feudal towns have long been ignored by the imperial court. Song Wei has soldiers, and he has to ask for money. Although there is now the support of the Cui family, there is still a big shortage of money and grain that can be collected from Dengzhou with Wang Jingwu. He had long envied the golden mountain of Dengzhou Port, but one of them couldn't get involved. Now, that opportunity is in front of him.

Taking advantage of this mediation opportunity, Song Wei and Cui Yunqing's biggest purpose was to intervene in Dengzhou Port and get a huge amount of money and grain to feed the army. However, such a place for the supply of money and food, Wang Jingwu will not give it up easily. They were also prepared. Today's results though. But Cui Yunqing was pleasantly surprised. Everything seems to be getting simpler again. Feng Zhang made such a big mistake today, and the situation was greatly favorable to them.

Wang Jingwen took Feng Zhang away, and the news came out on the same day, saying that Feng Zhang's blood rushed to his brain, and he lost his heart and went crazy, and this disease is easy to talk nonsense and can't remember the facts. In this regard, Wang Jingwen pointed out that what Feng Zhang said before was caused by madness. Feng Zhang is not a director for the time being. It was proposed that Feng Xun temporarily take over his position, and that he participate in mediation on behalf of Da Xie Yan.

This statement is just a signal to back down, and everyone understands what the truth is. However, no one pursued it, Feng Zhang withdrew from mediation, and Feng Xun participated, indicating that Wang Jingwen was going to compromise and retreat.

Then everyone began to stop talking about the rights and wrongs between Da Xie Qi and Shamen Town, but began to talk about the truce and the aftermath.

"The dispute between the two families has ended here, and each will not be pursued." Wang Jingwen said, "Our opinion is that the two families should continue to maintain the pre-war situation, and General Li Jing should immediately withdraw his troops and horses to Shamen Town. Da Xie Yan is still under the jurisdiction of the five forts and seven wars under his jurisdiction. Moreover, the population that General Li Jing took from the islands should be returned. The Great Xie Yan soldiers who were captured in the strife. It should also be put back. ”

Li Jing sneered, and said with a rebellious face: "My request is to divide Da Xie Qi into two, among the three major archipelagos, the Da Xie Islands belong to my Shamen Town, since Feng Zhang is crazy, then don't be too tired, he can take his people to move to Turtle Island, Turtle Island Islands and Wuhu Islands are assigned to him, and everyone will not violate the river water in the future." ”

"It can't be!" Wang Jingwen replied loudly that the most valuable of the three archipelagos is the Daxie Islands, because the entire Dengzhou Gangtang Bay is surrounded by the Daxie Islands. If they lose Da Xie Island, then they will not be able to guarantee their original interests.

However, Li Jing also asked for a sky-high price, and he also had a plan in his heart, knowing that he could not get it from the North and South Islands. However, he asked for a sky-high price, and Wang Jingwen paid it back. In the whole mediation meeting, Li Jing and Wang Jingwen were arguing, and Feng Xun, the representative of Da Xie Qi, was just a wooden man who didn't say a word. The others just watched the play, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.

But no matter how you fight, anyway, Li Jing's bottom line is that it is impossible to spit out the fat in his mouth. What's more, this time he had a good start, he completely occupied a favorable position, and with the full support of Cui Yunqing and Song Wen, Wang Jingwen had to give in inch by inch after the most reluctance.

"Big Black Mountain Island and Little Black Mountain Island are assigned to Shamen Town, and the surrounding Fish Scale Island and Nantangzi Island are also owned by Shamen Town. The four islands of Plough Rake Island, Mantis Island, Wave Retaining Island, and Horse Gun Stone Island between Shamen Town, Xiaoshan Fort and North and South Long Island also belong to Shamen Town. In addition, the five islands and reefs of large and small reefs, small mountain reefs, fragrant reefs, double furnace reefs, and double reefs, will also belong to Shamen Town from now on. Li Jing opened his bottom line, the entire Daxie Islands, except for the two big islands in the north and south, all the remaining islands and reefs, a total of 17 islands and reefs, all belong to Shamen Town.

In addition to these islands, all the other people who were relocated by Li Jing from the islands also returned to Li Jing and will not be returned.

"In addition, as compensation for the armistice, Da Xie Yan must also pay an indemnity of 200,000 yuan to Shamen Town to pay for the casualties and military expenses of our army. This is my last floor, refusing to bargain again. If not, I will lead someone to thank you for it, and then I will not be afraid of my words. After discussing for a long time, Li Jing was really impatient and directly threw out his own conditions.

Wang Jingwen hesitated for a long time, looked at Cui Yunqing, Li Xiao, and Song Wen, and saw that they were all silent, obviously showing that they wanted to support Li Jing to the end. The last had to grit his teeth and say, "Okay, the two armies must not have any more incidents from now on, and the past will never matter from now on." Whoever causes trouble again in the future will be unanimously attacked by all those present today. ”

"It's a deal." Li Jing didn't seem to care too much, and he said very casually, but in his heart, he was already ecstatic and successful. Thirteen islands and reefs, including the Big and Small Black Mountain Islands, suddenly became the territory of Shamen Town.

"Ahem!" Cui Yunqing coughed lightly, attracted everyone's attention, and chuckled: "It's good that the mediation is successful, let's talk about other things." ”

Li Jing knew that this was going to be given to sweet dates. This sweet jujube is not only Li Jing, but also Feng Zhang, which can be described as a share for everyone. He had already heard the teacher reveal something, but he still didn't know what kind of sweet jujube it would be. Li Jing, who had just won the thirteen islands, couldn't help but look forward to it. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
