After Jin Dongqing finished speaking, there was another discussion in the court.

After a while, Li Haoran said: "Grand Master, I don't understand why you value Liangshan bandits so much? Yes, we failed before and let them occupy Incheon City. But that's because the soldiers and horses in Kaijing haven't fought for a long time. Their strength is low, so they are not their opponents. If they are replaced by soldiers and horses on the northern border, they will definitely be able to defeat them."

Jin Dongqing frowned and said, "But they finally occupied Jeju Island again."

Li Haoran said: "Jeju Island has only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and we haven't fought for a long time. Later, we didn't have sea ships. If we had enough sea ships, we would soon be able to calm down 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 is not a few thousand soldiers. They now have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and their number is still increasing. Liangshan is not Ordinary thieves, they are a new regime, if they are allowed to continue to develop, it will definitely be a serious problem for our confidantes, and they may even destroy our Koryo."

After Jin Dongqing finished speaking, Li Haoran showed a mocking expression on his face, even the rest of the ministers did not agree with Jin Dongqing's opinion.

"The grand master is really too worried, mere grassroots bandits, it's nothing! From my point of view, we should still fight the north. Now the opportunity to fight in the north is fleeting. If we don't fight now, we may not have such an opportunity in the future. As for Liangshan grass bandits, ringworm and scabies, can be dealt with slowly in the future." King Matata of Koryo said.

"Your Majesty..." Jin Dongqing wanted to persuade him again, but Wang Yu said in displeasure: "Taishi, take a look, among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who else thinks that Liangshan will become a serious problem?" ?”

Jin Dongqing raised his eyes 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 is a detriment to the country! Goryeo will be destroyed by Liangshan in the future." We won’t be able to survive if we take it down! What will we do then?”

Wang Yu was very upset, thinking what happened to Jin Dongqing?A mere Liangshan grassroots bandit, why is it so important?

At that moment Wang Yu said: "Grand Master, I think you are a little tired recently? Why don't you go back and rest first, what do you think?"

Jin Dongqing sighed for a long time, and said: "Forget it, forget it! Since you don't listen to me, there is no point for me to stay in the court... I think I might as well resign from the post of Grand Master, please allow me, Your Majesty. Retire and return home."

"This..." Wang Yu was slightly taken aback. To be honest, Jin Dongqing is a loyal minister. Although Wang Yu hated Jin Dongqing, he was unwilling to let Jin Dongqing leave the court. He said immediately: "Grand Master, please think again. You can’t do without the Grand Master.”

Jin Dongqing shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "If the king agrees to deal with Liangshan now, I will stay, otherwise I must leave."

Wang Yu had a sad expression on his face, and after a while, he said: "Since the grand master insists, I will allow the grand master to retire and return to his hometown. If there is any difficulty in the grand master's life, he can come to the lonely at any time, and the lonely will definitely It will be resolved by the grand master."

Jin Dongqing sighed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty... I hope I can see Goryeo live forever in my lifetime."

Jin Dongqing left here sadly, and everyone looked at Jin Dongqing with regret, and at the same time, they all felt that the grand master was a little old and confused, and maybe it was really his best choice to resign from his old age and return to his hometown.

After Jin Dongqing left, the court discussion continued, and the Koryo King Wang Yu and his officials continued to discuss the matter of attacking Yuanzhou and Baozhou.

"What should we do with this matter? We must come up with a result today." Wang Yu said.

"Your Majesty, I think it is still necessary to recruit troops to aid the north." Li Haoran said.

After Jin Dongqing left, Li Haoran became No. 1 in the court, and the King of Korea, Wang Yu, had plans to aid the North, so he nodded and said: "Okay, then recruit... I think at least [-] soldiers should be recruited to aid the North." .”

Li Haoran was overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Wang Yu had already made a decision, and the courtiers below stopped objecting. At this time, Zhang Yan, who had spoken before, stood up and said, "My lord, I think we can unite with the Jurchens to take Yuanzhou and Baozhou down."

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, many court ministers said: "It should be united with the Jurchens."

In fact, when the Jurchens just raised their troops, they sent an alliance invitation to the Koreans, wanting to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom with the Koreans, but the Koreans at that time did not agree.Now that the Jurchens have conquered Liaodong, it is too late for the Koreans to discuss the matter of unity.

In the original history, Wanyan Aguda respected Goryo very much at the beginning, and regarded Goryeo as a country of brothers, but after conquering Goryeo, he treated Goryeo as a subject country, and Goryeo had nothing to do with it. .

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens' envoys have been staying in Kaijing, why don't we invite the Jurchens' envoys to discuss the alliance together." Li Haoran said.

"Okay, quickly invite the Jurchen envoy." Wang Yu said.

On this day, the Koreans and the Jurchens formed an alliance and agreed to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom.

Until the beginning of June, the Koreans were unable to take Yuanzhou and Baozhou City. At this time, the Jinren finally made a move.The Jin people were extremely ferocious. They only sent 1000 soldiers to take down the two cities of Yuanzhou and Baozhou in less than three days. Baozhou was handed over to the Koreans.

The Goryeo people were overjoyed, and their ambitions also increased a lot. Many Goryeo people wanted to restore the former Goguryeo territory.

"Goryeo actually formed an alliance with the Jinren, which is not a good thing for us!" Wu Dong said with a frown after receiving the information from the Governor's Mansion in Incheon.

"The governor is worried that the Jin people will suddenly intervene during the Goryeo war?" Hua Rong asked.

"Hmm...it's very possible." Wu Dong nodded.

"Governor, when the time comes, we can send the navy northward to enter the Yalu River and guard the key positions. At that time, it will be difficult for Jin people to enter the border of Koryo." Huarong said.

"At present, it seems that this is the only way to go." 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 Jinren, there is still a certain gap.Now Wu Dong does not want Liangshan and Jin Guo to meet head-on. He hopes to consider Jin Guo's affairs after defeating Koryo.

The two discussed for a while, and Wu Dong suddenly said: "Hua Rong, let's go and see Gongsun Sheng's pigeons and see how they are being cultivated."

Huarong said: "Okay."

It turned out that Gongsun Sheng was actually cultivating "carrier pigeons" during this period. He was the descendant of Taipingdao in the late Han Dynasty. Taipingdao had many mysterious methods, and cultivating carrier pigeons was one of them.

"Governor, can this carrier pigeon really deliver the news?" Hua Rong couldn't help asking because he didn't really believe in the carrier pigeon's ability.

"Of course, 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, there were carrier pigeons to deliver news.In the Tang Dynasty, carrier pigeons were used to fight.However, it is not widely used, so not many people know the efficacy of homing pigeons.

In Europe, carrier pigeons were used to deliver messages in ancient Rome. Later, the results of the famous Battle of Waterloo were delivered to Rotherschilds by carrier pigeons. Carrier pigeons still played an important role in wars until the First World War.

Carrier pigeons, this was the fastest way to transmit information in the world before the invention of the telegraph.

Soon after, the two came to Gongsun Sheng's pigeon loft, and saw a flock of pigeons flying in the sky, and 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 laughed.

"General 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... Of the 30 pigeons released from Jeju Island, 27 came back, and it only took half a day. In addition, the pigeons released from Seoul, Ganghwa Island, Daebu Island and other places also returned smoothly. The number is extremely small." Gongsun Sheng said.

"Is this true?" Hua Rong asked 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.
