Chapter 145 Interest
Of course, Song Qing did not know that the backyard had caught fire. At this moment, he has completed his strategic goal in Japan and is leading the fleet to the next goal - Korea.
Song Qing's biggest gains in this trip are two, and gold and silver are secondary. One is that he successfully provoked the civil strife in Japan, and the other is to dig more than a dozen forging masters from Toba.
Although the weapon is light and sharp, it is not suitable for large-scale distribution by the army, and the workmanship is complex. In some places in Japan, it even requires the strength of the whole village to make a Japanese knife.
Song Qing didn't want them to make Japanese knives when he dug up these forging highs. The Japanese knives given to him by Toba are enough to carry out special tasks in the internal guards.
As the saying goes, since these people can make such sharp Japanese knives, of course, they can also make other weapons sharper earlier.
So Song Qing asked Toba to pull the high-level people who forged Kyushu.
Just as soon as the fleet turned out of the Korean Strait, it finally met a ship sent by Dengzhou to deliver letters.
After reading the letter, Song Qing's eyebrows tightened. According to time, the war must have begun. Even if you rush back, it won't help. Do you still want to move forward according to the set goal?
Song Qing experienced the stupidity of the old emperor's father and son, so it is not surprising that they can release the golden soldiers into the customs. What makes Song Qing confused is that except for the relationship with Keer, he doesn't seem to have such a big holiday with Wu Qimai, right? Is it just for the letter that threatened you? Isn't this old bastard's heart too small?
Thinking about it, Song Qing's eyes fell on the map hanging in front of him again.
Liao has been destroyed. According to historical development, the regime of Jin will gradually move south, which will help them control the huge empire.
I only have 10,000 navy, and obviously can't do anything big, but I heard that after Wanyan Baokang went back, he built a dock in Chenzhou and sent soldiers to guard it.
It seems that he or the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin has thought that he will land there one day.
Since you have thought about it, I must not let you down. He told his subordinates who came to deliver the letter to wait for his own guard in Dengzhou to rush to Qingzhou immediately. He would land in Qingzhou and then go straight back to Jinan.
Song Qing did not order the fleet to change its course. It was also a good way to go along the coastline of Goryeo, and it could also deter the restless Goryeo people.
King and Wang Gu heard that the Liangshan fleet was coming again, and the fleet was so huge that they were so scared that they couldn't stand up. They immediately ordered people to prepare gifts to negotiate.
Wang Gu is afraid of this because he is guilty of being a thief, but so far, he still doesn't know what the Liangshan Fleet has done in Japan, otherwise he will be more afraid.
Song Qing's purpose was to deter him and did not intend to invade him. Although Goryeo was not proud of his treatment, it was not hateful.
When Song Qing met the envoy of Goryeo, he was scared and said a word, and then ordered the envoy to send a message to Wang Gou, taking 10,000 households to settle in Dengzhou, otherwise he would lead his troops to rob them, but I'm afraid that 10,000 households will not be taken away at that time.
10,000 households, with a population of 50,000 to 60,000.
Wang Gu was shocked and said that Liang Shan had a big appetite. As the head of a country, he certainly understands what population represents. The whole Goryeo has a population of only a few million. Now Liangshan is about 50,000 to 60,000 at a time, which is equivalent to the death of a town. How can this be agreed?
How can Wang Gu dare to say if he doesn't agree? On the one hand, he sent messengers to prepare more gifts to bargain with the general manager of Liangshan, and on the other hand, he urgently recruited literary ministers and generals to discuss how to deal with Liang Shan's unreasonable demands.
Unsurprisingly, none of the ministers of culture and martial arts agreed to give people, nor did they advocate armed resistance. Finally, some ministers proposed to discuss with Liang Shan to exchange people with gold and silver, while implementing a policy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field.
Since we can't fight against the Liangshan fleet, we won't go to sea at all. No matter how powerful your Liangshan fleet is, I'm afraid you dare not fight on land, right?
A minister immediately raised an objection, Jianbi Qingye? How long can you hold on? Moreover, once the lucrative maritime trade is cut off, will the court drink the northwest wind?
The ministers immediately argued about this issue. For a moment, the court seemed to have opened the pot.
Wang Gu's head was so noisy that he was furious and drove out all the ministers. Sitting in a chair and starting to worry.
He wanted to send a few beautiful women there, but when he heard that the most famous nine-tailed demon fox in Japan had gone to the bed of Liangshan, he immediately stopped this idea. This manager's vision is so high that he can't send out the national flower.
What should I do?
In fact, Song Qing opened his mouth and asked Wang for 10,000 households. He did have the intention of a lion to open his mouth. He has not yet had the strength to go ashore to plunder, so it is very satisfied that he can take away 3,000 or 2,000 households.
After telling Zhang Shun the meaning, Song Qing shook off the shopkeeper and began to plan how to retaliate against Jin Bing's attack.
Jin Bing did not directly attack the Song Dynasty according to the track of history, but came to fight against themselves first. Obviously, history has changed. As for whether they will attack the Song Dynasty next, it is not what Song Qing can foresee.
What kind of negotiation will Zhang Shun have? It's almost the same to take it. He not only took the opportunity to extort a large number of gold and silver belongings, but also set the population at 4,000 households and ordered them to arrive in Dengzhou before winter, otherwise they would send troops to rob themselves.
From 10,000 to 4,000, Wang Gu finally breathed and was still within his tolerance. Immediately order people to return to Liangshan and ensure that the population will be relocated before winter.
After receiving Wang Gu's reply, Song Qing led the fleet to leave the sea area of Kaijing and rushed to Chenzhou, which is located close to the seaside of Liaoning Peninsula.
Chenzhou has no impression in Song Qing's mind, but even if it has heavy troops, Song Qing must take it down, because Chenzhou is the former important town of Liao, Tokyo. After the Jin Bing captured it, he also stationed heavy troops there.
Tokyo is close to the main passage of Jin's going south to Beijing. If Song Qing can occupy it, it can undoubtedly greatly deter Jin.
Song Qing's move was to tell Wu Qimai, the emperor of the State of Jin, that he had the ability to attack his territory and block the connection between the east and south of the Kingdom of Jin.
Although Wu Qimai thought that Liangshan people and horses might land in Chenzhou and made corresponding preparations, the elites and horses have gathered at the border of Jin and Song for the upcoming battle to destroy Song.
At present, 2,000 Liao soldiers are stationed in Chenzhou, and most of them are old and weak.
Song Qing did not even hide his tracks. During the day, he drove the fleet to the sea of Chenzhou, and then sent 5,000 soldiers to forcibly land under the leadership of the Ruan brothers.
Two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled against 5,000 elite navy like wolves and tigers, the results can be imagined. The battle will be over in less than two hours.
Song Qing ordered to empty the treasury and burn all the ships in the Golden State. The surrendered soldiers and the light-strong people caught up with the wall, raised and thickened the existing wall, and made a posture of taking this as a stronghold and sticking it for a long time.
When the Tokyo garrison received the report, they immediately ordered all the people to prepare to recapture the current only port of the Golden State, and reported the news layer by layer.
At this time, the news of Wanyan Zonggan's defeat in Jinan had long been sent to Wu Qimai. He did not expect that Liangshan people and horses would be so difficult to deal with. When he was hesitating whether to send reinforcements, the news of Liangshan people and horses appeared in Chenzhou came in.
Liangshan people came across the sea, which was indeed a little unexpected by Wu Qi.
I can't help nodding secretly. If this boy is not from Song, he can indeed be his own son-in-law. Then he remembered that his beloved concubine who died tragically and his beloved daughter who had not paid attention to him until now, and the fire came up again.
Even if Liangshan can transport troops by sea ship, how much can he transport at a time? Do you want to attack Tokyo, which is heavily guarded with a little strength? Do idiots talk about dreams?
It was rumored that the Tokyo defenders would take back Chenzhou as soon as possible and drive Liangshan people and horses into the sea. If possible, they should be completely destroyed.
Of course, Wu Qimai didn't expect Song Qing to appear here. In his opinion, Song Qing should resist his own people in Jinan!
The Tokyo general was obedient and pulled out all 20,000 horses in Tokyo. The whirlwind generally rushed to Chenzhou, but to his surprise, Chenzhou could not see the Liangshan people at all, and even the ship disappeared.
Just when the Tokyo general was puzzled, it was suddenly reported that a large number of Liangshan troops appeared outside Tokyo, and with the cooperation of the spies who entered the city earlier, they had invaded the city.
Tokyo's general was almost scared to pee in his pants. In order to better complete the task given by the emperor, he brought out almost all the people in Tokyo. Now there are only more than 1,000 people guarding the city.
It is important to destroy Liangshan, but losing Tokyo is the same as losing his head. Without thinking about it, he immediately led the people who still had time to rest back to Tokyo.
Song Qing is just a false shot in Chenzhou, and his target is Tokyo. After successfully mobiling the Tokyo garrison, he immediately ordered Ruan Xiaoqi to secretly dive near Tokyo, and then sneaked in first to attack Tokyo.
Tokyo can't be defended, and Song Qing did not plan to take this place, otherwise he would not have sent Ruan Xiaoqi to come.
After Ruan Xiaoqi entered the city, he first set fire to the government office, and then began to attack the rich people in the city.
Although it is in the Golden State, Ruan Xiaoqi has not forgotten the purpose of Liangshan hero, which is to never bully the poor people.
For a while, the city of Tokyo was full of fire, and the rich families of major families were bleeding. By the time the Tokyo guard came back, Liang Shan had already withdrawn.
Looking at the devastated city, the general wanted to cry without tears. He knew that his life was over.
Wu Qimai received the report and was even more angry. He directly ordered someone to cut off the head of the guard, and then chased Liangshan people and horses with all his strength.
At this time, the Liangshan navy had already set sail and went to Qingzhou.
Song Qing stood in the bow, looking at the fading horizon and meditated in his heart, "Faternal, since you are not righteous, don't blame your son-in-law for being rude. First, charge you some interest. The big head is still behind. Let's take our time."
When he talked about his father-in-law, his face naturally flashed in his mind. Thinking that they didn't know when they could meet, Song Qing's mood fell down again.
