Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 361 There is light in the eyes
"Uncle!"

Jin Famin looked worriedly at Jin Yuxin, who was already a lot older.

Jin Yuxin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. The Tang Dynasty is a celestial dynasty with hundreds of vassal states. The veteran also got news that the Emperor of the Central Plains is determined to confer Zen status, and he intends to invite the princes from all over the world to attend his Zen ceremony. In this At critical times, the Central Plains court attaches great importance to the reputation of their heavenly kingdom. It is well known that Silla respects the Central Plains court. If Chen Qingsi embarrasses the old minister, I am afraid that the court will not be able to justify it. "

Jin Famin frowned in confusion and said: "I have also heard about this. It is a bit strange. The Emperor of Zhongyuan is not the kind of impatient person. Although he is not as good as Emperor Taizong, he is still a promising person. The Holy Lord continued the Zhenguan era and pushed the Central Plains to its peak. However, his recent actions left people a little confused. They were like a turtle in a jar. Isn't it justifiable to capture Goguryeo and then enshrine it? "

"There is a possibility!" Jin Yuxin squinted and speculated word by word: "The Emperor of Central Plains can't wait until that time?"

Jin Famin's face changed drastically and he whispered: "But is it true?"

Jin Yuxin said: "Other than that, there is no other explanation."

Jin Famin was very convinced of Kim Yushin's judgment. Silla's development to this day was inseparable from Kim Yushin's precise and keen political strategic predictions.

Precisely because of the correct strategic decisions, even if there were many internal problems and changes, Silla's development momentum has been very good, and it has accumulated the foundation to unify Haidong.

"I heard that the crown prince of the Central Plains is only a seven or eight-year-old boy. If so, if the Emperor of the Central Plains is ill, wouldn't it mean that there will be internal instability? This is a God-given opportunity..."

Jin Yuxin still maintained his composure and said: "It's too early to think about these things now. It's still unclear what the future will be like, but we can try Chen Qingsi by taking advantage of it."

He whispered word by word: "Born from poverty, he became famous as a young man, and the world was famous. He was less than thirty years old, and he ruled alone. Even in the Central Plains, there were not many people in thousands of years. Such a hero is the easiest to embark on. Crooked road.”

Jin Famin understood what was going on and exclaimed, "If that's true, that would be great."

Jin Yuxin left the palace, made arrangements for the matters at hand, and set off for Baekje in person.

The straight-line distance between Silla's Jincheng and Baekje's Ungjin is not far, but the road is difficult to travel. Jin Yushin is quite old and the road is not going fast. In addition, there is a heavy wind and snow. It is already ten days before we arrive in Ungjin. Later.

Jin Yuxin showed his identity and was escorted by the city gate guards to the Governor's Mansion.

What Jin Yuxin didn't expect was that the person who came out to greet him was not Chen Qingsi, but the newly appointed Chief Protector Fang Renyu.

Fang Renyu's handover is almost over, but the current cold winter months and rough sea conditions are not suitable for returning home.

Chen Qingsi was used as a cheap temporary worker, and Fang Renyu didn't mind either.

After getting along these days, Fang Renyu also realized that his rigid way of dealing with Baekje was a bit stupid, and he wanted to take the opportunity to steal some teachers.

"In my lower room, Renyu, I have admired the name of Jin Dashang for a long time. Before I leave, I can meet Jin Dashang once. It is not a worthwhile trip..."

Fang Renyu said polite words, but in his heart he was a little dismissive.

Jin Yuxin's name is unknown to everyone in Haidong. In terms of talent and deeds, he indeed has the reputation of being the best in Shanghai East.

Fang Renyu also heard some stories about Jin Yuxin during his years in Baekje.

I have a certain understanding of him and know that the other person is not an easy person. It's just that Haidong is located in a corner, and Yelang is arrogant. He compares Jin Yuxin with Zhuge Kongming, the Wuhou of Central Plains and China, and regards him as Haidong Kongming.

Zhuge Liang's status is so lofty in China.

Anyone who dares to compare himself with a mere Haidong talent would be considered arrogant.

Jin Yuxin was also a little uncomfortable. After all, he was also the second-in-command of Silla, and his status was second only to the King of Silla. It would be fine if he didn't come to greet him. How could he let a white man come forward?
However, Jin Yu believed in the city and did not show anything strange. He greeted Fang Renyu warmly.

Fang Renyu looked apologetic: "Senior Jin has come at a bad time. The Governor has led his men on an inspection tour and is not in the city for the time being. It would be better for Sir Jin to stay in the city while I send someone to look for the Governor."

There was a bit of solemnity in Jin Yuxin's eyes. This Chen Qingsi was really difficult to deal with. Even if he was assassinated, he still had the courage to patrol in person.

This person is in Baekje, and his future in Haidong and Silla is uncertain.

Jin Yuxin bowed his head and said: "I wonder where the governor went to inspect?" He said in a somewhat anxious tone: "To be honest, the king of Silla has recently mourned, and the new king is still unable to convince the public. There are many things in the royal court of Silla that require the old man to take charge. Host, don’t wait too long.”

Fang Renyu said: "This... I really don't know. I can't predict the situation of the governor. He said that he would go deep into the people and see the suffering of the people. He had no purpose and just did it casually. Even if he was looking for it, he could only do it. Following his footsteps, I don’t know where he is.”

Jin Yu's confidence was even more startled, like a surging wave, unless this person is eliminated, Silla will never be able to unify.

He suppressed his uneasiness and said, "I'd like to ask my father-in-law to find the governor as soon as possible. I really can't stay here for too long."

Just when Jin Yu was feeling uneasy, Chen Qingsi had already appeared in Jeollabuk-do, Baekje.

Jeollabuk-do is one of the few large plains in Baekje. It is located in the Hunan Plain in the Dongjin River and Mangyeong River. It is the grain storage of Baekje. It is said that Jeollabuk-do can relieve the entire country's famine years.

Wansan County, North Jeolla Province.

Chen Qingsi met with the county magistrate and the county elders and asked them to gather all the people in the county.

The people of Baekje were all dressed in rags, like beggars. They were wrapped together in tattered clothes and shivering. Some of them even went out directly wrapped in tattered quilts.

Facing the Grand Governor Chen Qingsi, they had no other thoughts. They just knelt on the ground and bowed their heads, as humble as ants.

"Let them get up!"

Chen Qingsi said to the translator beside her.

The translator revealed Chen Qingsi's meaning to the county magistrate of Wanshan County.

The county magistrate of Wanshan County gave another lecture to the county boss Jili Guala.

Mr. Su then chattered a lot to the thousands of people on the ground.

Chen Qingsi is no longer surprised by this strange situation.

Chen Qingsi doesn’t speak Buyeo yet, so if she speaks to the translator, she will naturally speak Chinese.

The translator spoke the translated Fuyu to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate spoke Fuyu to Mr. Su, but with a slight rural accent. But what Mr. Su spoke to the people was Ma Han...

This is a unique feature of Baekje.

Chen Qingsi did not discover the situation until he personally inspected decentralization. The ruling class of Baekje was from Nambuyeo, and the ruled class was from Mahan, one of the three Koreans. The two had different languages ​​and cultures.

Therefore, the Baekje nobles and royal family spoke Buyeo, while the common people spoke Mahan, a completely different language. It is understandable that the places are different and the accents are different, but in a country where two different language families are spoken, the upper and lower classes are completely cut off from each other, which is simply incredible.

They looked lifeless at all, just like wood, being played around with by the common people.

Chen Qingsi waved his hand and ordered: "Distribute the things!"

Then he took two steps forward and said loudly: "I am a native of Jiangnan in the Tang Dynasty. I am currently the governor of Xiongjin Prefecture. Baekje's rebellion has been destroyed. From now on, I will be your parent official. You will enjoy the same as I, the people of the Tang Dynasty." We will meet you for the first time today. Everyone will receive a liter of corn and ten feet of linen as a meeting gift.

Chen Qingsi said this bluntly, and there was a hint of shame in the eyes of Hei Te Changzhi, who had been following him.

The county magistrate of Wanshan County also had a hint of shame in his eyes.

Baekje King Buyeo Yiji was not a mediocre king. On the contrary, he was wise and deeply loved by his superiors and subordinates.

Today's destruction can only be said to be the result of the jungle of the jungle and lack of strength.

They didn't recognize the "reverse behavior" that Chen Qingsi said, but they didn't dare to refute it.

Chen Qingsi didn't care about their opinions, but paid attention to the expressions and attitudes of the thousands of Baekje people below.

They obviously didn't have any displeasure, and just listened numbly, until they heard that there was corn and linen available for collection. One after another, they showed expressions of ecstasy. They all knelt on the ground in unison, kowtowing and mouthing He whined and said words of gratitude.

While Chen Qingsi was waiting for the distribution of supplies, he received news that Jin Yuxin had arrived in Xiongjin.

After all the supplies were distributed, Chen Qingsi said: "Let's go back. The goal has been achieved."

Chen Qingsi rode on the back of the champion and looked back at Wanshan County and found that the people in the county were still kneeling on the ground and kowtow.

He knew that things in Baekje were stable.

In addition to Hei Te Changzhi, Chen Qingsi was followed by Lu Zhaolin, Cheng Boxian, and Zhou Kui.

Among them, Lu Zhaolin was the most emotional. His eyes were slightly red and he said: "The people here are so miserable. Grand Governor, my subordinates visited the environment where they live. Most of them live in places where there is nowhere to stay. They The family members don’t even have decent clothes. They wear one piece together and whoever goes out wears it. When the whole family needs to work, they just tie it up with thatch. It’s so miserable..."

Lu Zhaolin, a descendant of the neighboring family, has never seen the sufferings of the people, but these are already unbearable.

Chen Qingsi said: "What the heck, Baekje is really going to be in chaos. The people like them are really like ants and grass. Originally, the governor heard that King Buyeo Yiji of Baekje was the son of Haidong Zeng. The people of Baekje wanted to Everyone is united, and now it seems that the people’s hearts and minds do not include these Mahan ants.”

Hei Te Changzhi had a look of shame on his face, and he couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

Chen Qingsi had no intention of letting Hei Te Changzhi go, and asked: "General Hei Te, you followed the governor all the way north. Along the way, you passed through the most prosperous Gyeonggi and Shangluo, and also passed through the slightly barren Yanyou land. What's more? How do you feel about the desolation and desolation of the people along the way, compared with the people of Mahan like Baekje? "

Hei Te Changzhi was unwilling to accept it, but he could only sigh depressedly and said: "The difference between heaven and earth is incomparable."

Chen Qingsi shook his head and said: "It's a perfunctory statement. I think it's two words of 'hope'. The people of Tang Dynasty have light in their eyes, while the people of Baiji have eyes that are filled with silence and confusion."

"We, the people of the Tang Dynasty, will feel honored to be the people of the Tang Dynasty. They will cheer for hearing about the victory of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the front line, and they will also feel sad when they hear about the defeat of our army."

Hei Te Changzhi thought of what happened when he followed Chen Qingsi out of Chang'an. At that time, the people on the streets stopped and stamped their feet when facing them, bowed to each other, and offered their simplest blessings.

And in Baekje, no matter the victory or defeat on the front line, the people of Mahan are only thinking about how to survive, how to survive today, and how to survive tomorrow.

Hei Te Changzhi has been here like this since he was a child. In his eyes, he really does not put the people of Mahan and Baekje in the same place.

Until I arrived in the Tang Dynasty this time, I had seen the unity of the Tang Dynasty. If there is no comparison, there will be no harm.

Chen Qingsi said: "It is true that even the current Tang Dynasty still has many shortcomings, but we are all trying our best to make up for it and hope to do better. But you, for hundreds of years, you can't even speak the language Unify. Can’t or don’t want to?”

Black Teeth Changzhi continued to be speechless.

Chen Qingsi smiled and shouted: "General Black Teeth..."

Hei Te Changzhi cupped his hands and said: "The end is here!"

Chen Qingsi smiled and asked, "Do you want to see the light in the eyes of the people of Baekje?"

Hei Te Changzhi nodded solemnly and said: "I think!"

Chen Qingsi raised the riding whip in his hand and said: "Then just wait and see. The next main task of this governor is to let them have light in their eyes, the same light as the people of the Tang Dynasty. I call him faith..."

The five thousand years of the Chinese dynasty have truly condensed national beliefs and self-confidence, only during the Han, Tang, Ming and present times.

Since we are in Baekje, and since Baekje does not know how to calm the people, let the light of the Tang Dynasty sweep away their darkness.

Of course, Chen Qingsi knew very well that in the feudal era, the people were all cattle and horses, but being the cattle and horses of the Tang Dynasty was better than the ants of today.

Hei Te Changzhi looked at the figure going away against the sun, his heart throbbing. If he could follow such a person, he would have no regrets in this life.

Chen Qingsi flew all the way back to Xiongjin City.

He was in no hurry to see Jin Yuxin.

Jin Yuxin, however, came to the door like a cat that smelled fishy smell.

"Meet the Governor!"

Chen Qingsi looked at the old man in front of him and put on a smile: "Jin Dashang's reputation has been exposed to Haidong. He is indeed magnificent and heart-wrenching."

No matter whether the old man opposite can be worthy of the reputation of "Haidong Kongming", one thing is certain, he is his biggest opponent in Haidong.

Jin Yuxin also understood the principle of literati complimenting each other. He smiled so much that all the wrinkles on his face turned into flowers: "That's better than the Governor, who knows more about culture and martial arts. Especially the Governor is still so young. I have wasted my life on this false reputation. Dare to compare.”

Chen Qingsi smiled and asked Jin Yuxin to take a seat.

Jin Yuxin bowed first and then took his seat.

Seeing him sitting down, Chen Qingsi asked: "Sir Jin Da, is this governor young and virtuous, unable to recruit the king of your country?"
