Compete for the Song Dynasty

Wangpang sent troops, and the four-way soldiers assisted Goryeo to attack the Japanese slaves. Now I have to talk about two of the Wangpang four-way soldiers from the Song Dynasty. Feng was allowed by the imperial court to personally lead three thousand sailors from Yizhou, did Zhao Shu's conscience find out?

Zhao Shu just woke up. One is the pressure from the officials. After all, the Song Dynasty is also a big country. Could it be that the rescue of Goryeo is just a matter of sending an envoy?Sending troops is also an attitude. Besides, it is well known that the Liao Kingdom sent an army of [-]. Could it be that the Song Kingdom did not send a single soldier? This would make people look down on the Song Kingdom.

But there is another side that makes Zhao Shu have to send troops, which is the public opinion of the society and the voice of the people. This is related to the news that Zhao Zhongzhen told his little brother, that is, the death of Prime Minister Bao.

Song Yingzong Zhao Shu couldn't figure it out. In terms of official position, Bao Zheng was not as prominent as Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and others. Bao Zheng did not achieve the post of prime minister in the end; It is not as good as Fan Zhongyan and Sima Guang; the literary talent is not as good as Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo and others.The only poem handed down in Bao Cheng's life is the poem on the wall of Duanzhou County Sheriff's Mansion:

Purity of heart is the root cause, and straightness is personal strategy. [

Xiuqian will eventually become a building, and fine steel will not be used as a hook.

Rats and birds are happy, but rabbits and foxes are sad when the grass is exhausted.

There is a legacy in the annals of history, and those who leave behind should be ashamed.

But it was Bao Zheng and Prime Minister Bao, who was respected by the people because he was not afraid of the powerful, did not show favoritism, was honest and upright.Bao Zheng's impartial law enforcement and uprightness have become the embodiment of fairness and justice.Bao Zheng's death caused a sensation in the capital and even in the state of Song.In the place where Prime Minister Bao worked, the common people spontaneously set up mourning burials, and there were always common people crying in front of Bao Gong’s rice terrace in Chenzhou.

In the capital city, the people mourned in groups in front of the Kaifeng mansion, and the sighs of the people could be heard in the streets and alleys.People say that Prime Minister Bao has devoted himself to the prime minister, and Renzong is reluctant to part with Prime Minister Bao after leaving, so he wants to take the prime minister with him.Others said that Master Bao was worried about the body of the new emperor and the state affairs. What troubled Yingzong the most was that the people in the capital knew that Bao Zheng's adopted son was sent out as an envoy by the imperial court. Some of them hated Prime Minister Bao for doing it on purpose, and Prime Minister Bao was pissed to death.

The first two rumors were better, and the last one was aimed at the imperial court, which was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and the officials were angry.This was Song Yingzong's life, condolences to Mr. Bao's people, and a petition to let the court send troops to protest. No matter how confused Yingzong was, he knew that if he aroused public anger, he, the emperor who had just come to power, would completely lose the hearts of the people.

Bao Zheng died of illness in May, Emperor Yingzong ordered Yang Shihan to send troops in June, and Li Liangzuo made troubles on the border in July. Now at the beginning of August, after reviewing these things behind Wangpang, looking at Wangpang, he has already arrived in Kaijingsongdu, the capital of Goryeo.Doesn't Wang Pang know anything about the rear?He vaguely knew something, but no one told him the truth. Besides, the King of May and June was on the Prince's Mountain, and he was busy dealing with the dispatch of troops after he came down from the mountain. If the people around him didn't tell him, how would he know?Wang Pang blamed the slowness of the news from the rear on the underdeveloped communication in the Song Dynasty and the slow response of information, and he only wanted to settle the war as soon as possible.

Right now, the troops of the Liaobo Navy have been stationed outside Kaijing, the capital of Koryo, for a short rest.On this day, Li Enze led Wang Bang, Xin Zan, and Yelu Asi to the imperial city of Songdu in Goryeo to meet Emperor Wenzong of Goryeo.

Wang Pang didn't understand Goryeo Bangzi's language at all, but fortunately Xin Zan knew a thing or two and had Li Enze as an interpreter.Wang Pang made up his mind that if he didn't salute or laugh at the Korean people, he wouldn't make a big mistake.

After leaving the palace, Wang Pang returned to his tent, and before he had time to rest, a soldier came to report: "Wang Shilang, Xin Linya invites you to discuss matters."

"I see, I'll go in a while!" The people next to Wang dismissed him, and asked Han Derong again: "Brother Zhe and Zhang Ping are back yet?"

Han Derong replied: "I've come back." As he spoke, he handed a wooden box to Wang and continued: "Wang Shilang, they went out with the Korean translator again, saying that they would go to Songdu City today to exchange some food stamps. "

Wang Pang hummed, and Han Derong asked in confusion: "Wang Shilang, why do you exchange so many Korean food stamps with silver, and add [-]% silver? Isn't this a loss for us?"

Wang Pang said: "Don't worry, you can't lose money! Now the people of Koryo know that food stamps can be exchanged for more silver. On the way we went to Koryo, the people of Koryo sent food in person along the way, which saved a lot of transporting troops, and the food and grass Relief is also abundant. You have to know that the logistics will save effort and the food and grass will be enough to stabilize the morale of the army."

Han Derong still frowned: "But... these food stamps, you don't say that when Goryeo takes them back, they add [-]% to them, and we add [-]% to them. The people of Korea secretly gave us the food stamps, the more we collect Don't you lose more money?"

Wang Pang had already changed his clothes. He said with a smile, "It's nothing. When we all go to the country of Japanese slaves, you will know the usefulness of these food coupons. Let's go! Let's go to the camp of the Chinese army." After he finished speaking, he turned his head Glancing at Wa Zhuang: "Wa Zhuang, how is your contact with Nong Shilang?"

Wa Zhuang replied: "We have already contacted. Nong Shilang's troops attacked Kyushu Island on August [-]th."

Wang Pang nodded as he walked out and said, "Okay, you wait here! Right? I've always been wondering, Nong Shilang's troops are at sea, how do you contact him?" This is a question that has always troubled Wang Pang. .

Wa Zhuang smiled: "It seems that there is something that Wang Shilang doesn't know. There are sea communication methods, the patrol fleet at sea, and the outposts on the islands in the sea." [

Wang Pang suddenly realized that the construction of the Song Dynasty Navy was much more advanced than he thought, which gave him a little more confidence in Nong Jifeng's navy. He joked: "You still think I'm really A fairy who knows everything?"

As Wang said, he led Han Derong to turn around and walked out of the big tent. Behind him, Wa Zhuang said in a low voice: "It's either good or not." I can't tell what's wrong with it.

Wang Pang walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, Xin Zan and Yeluas were already waiting in the tent, Xin Zan invited Wang Pang to take a seat.The expedition of the Liao army was finally finalized as the commander of Xin Zan, and A Si was the vanguard officer.Wang Pang was enshrined as a senior officer, and even Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji ordered him to follow Wang Pang's command in this battle, so Xin Zan became a Liao official who coordinated Wang Pang's dispatch.

Xin Zan said with a smile on his face: "The thing is like this. Originally we planned to stay near Kaijing to prepare food and grass, and set off in five days, but I didn't expect that Koryo is really rich in food production and the people are rich. It's only two or three days. On that day, there was an endless stream of food deliverers near Kaijing, and the food and grass had already been prepared."

Yeluas also smiled and said: "Isn't it! I just asked the cooking soldiers, and they said that some Koreans are now transporting grain and grass to us in an organized way. This can save us a lot of trouble. Haha!"

Xin Zan also nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to Wang Shilang's strategy of exchanging food stamps for food, which saved a lot of manpower."

Wang Pang chuckled, this was already in his expectation: "It's nothing, the two of you called me here, isn't it just for this matter?!"

"Of course not. Now that we have enough food and grass, we want to discuss with Wang Shilang whether we can continue to advance to Tokyo." Xin Zan replied.

Wang Pang didn't speak. He walked up to Shuai's case, spread out the map of Koryo, and said in his heart: Li Enze, a Koryo stick, refused to hand over the specific map of Koryo when he was in Liao, and he can't do it now.Xin Zan and Yeluas also came over.

The topography of Goryeo is drawn on the sheepskin map. Now it is not the North and South countries like North Korea and South Korea hundreds of years later. The map clearly shows Sijing, Bamu, Fifteen Prefectures, 120 nine counties, 330 four counties, 29. It is defined as five roads and two circles: Yangguang Road, Gyeongsang Road, Jeolla Road, Jiaozhou Road, Xikai Road, East Border, and North Border.

Wang Pang pointed to Gyeongsang-do, the easternmost part of the Koryo map, where Tokyo, Sangju, and Jinju are distributed in a triangle: "Now the Japanese slaves have occupied Tokyo in Koryo, and Jinju and Sangju Koryo are still struggling. As soon as our army arrives The Japanese slaves can be driven out of Jinju and Sangju. According to Li Enze, Yang Guangdao and Jeolla Province, the Japanese slaves have not yet invaded, so the only place the Japanese slaves can go is to retreat to Tokyo. We will also follow the Plan in advance and take Sangju and Jinju first."

"Okay!" Yeluas and Xin Zan replied together.

Wang Pangyou gave a few words of advice, when he left the tent of the Chinese army, Ah Si sent Wang Pang out, Wang Pang saw that he seemed to have something to say, and after walking a few steps, Wang Pang stopped : "General Ah Si, is there anything else?"

Ah Si rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and asked with a smile: "Wang Shilang, I, I have something to ask you."

Seeing his embarrassment, Wang Bang flirted with Han Derong, and Han Derong immediately said clearly: "Then I'll go back first!" Then he turned and left.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yeluas asked the king in a low voice: "Wang Shilang, I heard that the price of food stamps on the black market has risen quite quickly. I secretly kept some more. Don't worry, these are definitely not I exchanged it for the detainees myself. I just want to ask you, you said that after the war, can Goryeo really exchange it with a [-]% profit as originally said?"

"That's a must!" Wang Pang said affirmatively.

"Hey, now the black market has already added [-]% profit, do you think it can go up?" Ah Si asked nervously.

Wang Pang looked at him with a smile, and Ah Si hurriedly added: "I'm not the only one who wants to ask, haha. Just talk about it."

Wang Pang looked around, pretending to be mysterious and said: "I don't care how much it can go up, the more we eliminate the gang of Japanese slaves, the more room to go up!"

"Okay! It's fine with what you say. When we get to Guangshangdao in Goryeo, let's see how our Bohai Navy killed the Japanese slave invading army!" Ah Si said with a smile full of confidence.
