Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 596: Sending Troops to Korea

It was a cloudy day, and the sky over Yanjing City was covered with dark clouds, and the city was covered by black clouds. It looked like it was going to rain, but An Pulin and Li Rui were in a very good mood.

After they came to Yanjing Palace with dozens of attendants, they immediately sent someone to report, and the two of them entered the palace not long after.

Walking on the road to the palace, the wind gradually picked up, and it didn't take long for raindrops to fall from the sky.

"The weather has been hot all the way, and it's finally cooling down now!" Li Rui laughed.

"The weather is cold, so we can have a good negotiation with the people of Song Dynasty!" An Pulin said with a smile, breathing in the fresh air.

They kept walking, and after a while, they came to the Royal Study Room.

Here, they were inspected by the guards before entering the imperial study.

The layout of the imperial study room is simple and elegant. At the moment Zhao Chen is sitting behind a table, and there are two other people in the imperial study room——Wang Shu and Qu Duan.

Wang Shu is the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, the chief minister of the military aircraft department, and Qu Duan is the head of the staff headquarters. It can be said that all the civil and military leaders of the current court are here, and An Pulin and Li Rui couldn't help but be taken aback.

"The envoys of Korea pay their respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty!" An Pulin and Li Rui were stunned for a moment, then knelt down together and said in unison.

At this moment, the rain outside was gradually increasing, and the sound of rain outside could be heard in the Imperial Study Room.

"Stay flat!" Zhao Chen said flatly.

An Pulin and Li Rui respectfully stood up.

"Your Majesty, last time we discussed with Lord Wang Shu, we decided to buy Liaodong with money and food. This time we have brought a lot of money and food. We want to discuss the peace talks again." An Pulin said.

"How much money, gold and silver did you bring?" Zhao Chen said.

"Money, gold and silver add up to twenty million taels of silver." An Pulin said.

"Korea is a small country, I didn't expect to have so much money and food!" Zhao Chen said with a mocking smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, we have already brought the money. I don't know when the Song Dynasty will give us Liaodong?" An Purin said.

The sound of the rain outside was getting louder, and there was a sudden feeling of silence in the room at this moment. No one spoke, and their breathing was covered by the sound of the rain outside.

Zhao Chen stood up, took a map from the bookshelf next to him, and spread it on the table.

Wang Shu and Qu Duan were still sitting there, while An Pulin and Li Rui looked at the map on the table curiously.

The map is very large, with Jiangnan, Central Plains, Yanyun and other places on it, as well as Liaodong, Koryo and other places. Zhao Chen's eyes have been set on Liaodong and Koryo at this moment.

"I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor in Hanzhong that day. On the one hand, I decided to drive out the Tartars and restore China; A prosperous and prosperous age that is stronger and more prosperous than the Han and Tang Dynasties! This is my ambition!" Zhao Chen suddenly said something inexplicable.

An Pulin and Li Rui were all stunned, they didn't know what Zhao Chen meant.

"Eastern Liaodong has a vast land and rich resources. People of all ethnic groups now multiply here. After Liaodong passes through the mountains to the north, there is an ice field. There are no human beings living on the ice field now, but the mineral deposits there are very rich!" Zhao Chen said.

"How does Your Majesty know where there are rich mineral deposits?" An Pulin asked curiously.

What Zhao Chen said is exactly where the Siberia of the later generations is located. In this era, Siberia is basically uninhabited, and neither the Chinese nor the Russians of later generations have yet come to this place! Because it is too cold here, everyone regards it as a useless place, but Zhao Chen knows that in future generations, this place is second only to the Middle East for oil storage. In addition, the reserves of coal, natural gas, metal, wood, etc. Extremely high, the Russian mineral deposits of later generations are basically in Siberia. Zhao Chen will never let this treasure land go.

"You Goryeo, that's also a good place! It's located in the sea east of Yanjing, with a population of millions and a lot of wealth, and the environment is much better than that of Liaodong!" Zhao Chen ignored An Pulin, still looking after himself road.

An Pulin and Li Rui were even more surprised. They didn't know why Zhao Chen said this today.

"After I established Yanjing as my capital, there is no country or nation on this land that can threaten our Great Song Dynasty. The only possible threat is from the sea, so I must be on guard!" Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, and said again.

"Your Majesty, may I ask how to be on guard?" An Pulin was even more curious.

"With Koryo and Shandong as barriers, turn the sea area east of Yanjing into the inland sea of ​​our Great Song Dynasty, and our Great Song Navy is flooding it. This is the first line of defense! In addition, use Dongying and Ryukyu as the second line of defense. Enemies far away! In this way, we will not be afraid of enemies at sea! No matter how powerful the enemy at sea comes, we will have enough time to react." Zhao Chen said.

"What!" An Pulin was stunned for a moment, then for some reason, he suddenly felt chills all over his body!

It is now the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and it has gradually entered summer. Even if it is raining, it is only slightly cooler, but he feels as if there is a biting cold wind blowing on his body.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Li Rui also felt a little dizzy and asked hastily.

"Don't you understand what I mean? Liaodong is so rich, how could I give it up to you? Your Koryo is only a small country, no matter whether it is national strength or military strength, I really don't understand how you are so big. Appetite? Why are you so greedy? Why do you think that I, Song Dynasty, are all fools? Why do you underestimate me, the emperor and ministers of Song Dynasty?" Zhao Chen sneered.

"Your Majesty, we are here to sign the contract." An Pulin said in a trembling voice.

"Signing a contract? Absurd, ridiculous! How could I have any reason to sell my land to others?" Zhao Chen shouted coldly.

"Your Majesty, we have already agreed, you must keep your word!" An Purin said anxiously.

"Credit? Do we need to promise credit to greedy and arrogant people like you? What's more, we have been negotiating before, but there has been no result! We haven't signed a contract yet, haven't we? It's just a small country in the East China Sea , You actually want to blackmail me with credit, do you think I'm really such a pedantic person?" Zhao Chen said.

An Pulin and Li Rui felt like the sky was about to collapse at this moment! They had dealt with Zhao Chen several times, each time Zhao Chen was very gentle, never had such a domineering side, the two were at a loss for a while.

"Pass down the order, order Yue Fei to lead an army of 100,000, and Wu Jie to lead an army of 120,000, and immediately march into Goryeo! I ordered that within three months, I will spare no effort to take down Goryeo, capture the King of Goryeo alive, and let him kneel before me!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"I obey!" Wang Shu and Qu Duan immediately stood up and said in unison.

An Pulin and Li Rui were running towards the outside at the moment. Wang Shu looked at their backs and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to stop them?"

Zhao Chen said disdainfully: "No! They are just two insignificant Korean envoys. Since they are in the Song Dynasty, everything is under our control! Our army has already set off. Are you afraid that the two of them will go back and inform you now? "

*****

Although it was afternoon, it was extremely dark outside.

It was raining heavily, and the dozens of Korean attendants were hiding under the eaves outside the palace, while An Pulin and Li Rui rushed out from inside, panting.

"My lords, what's the matter?" a leader of the attendants asked in surprise.

"Quick! Return to Korea immediately! Immediately!" An Pulin said.

All of the attendants were stunned for a moment, they didn't know what happened now.

"Let's go!" An Pulin said anxiously.

An Pulin and Li Rui were still striding forward, they were afraid that Song Jun would hunt them down.

It took a full quarter of an hour before they arrived at the gate of Yanjing City. After arriving here, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the gate was not closed!

They came all the way on horseback, and the horses were stored at the gate of the city at this moment. The two of them rode on their horses and headed towards Tianjin Wei, and dozens of attendants behind them hurriedly followed them towards Tianjin Wei.

"My lords, what's the matter?" The leader of the attendants caught up with An Pulin and Li Rui from behind and asked again.

"The people of Song didn't want to negotiate peace with us at all, they wanted to invade Korea!" An Pulin said while panting.

"What? Enter Korea?" The guard leader said in disbelief.

"Yes! Entering Korea! We were wrong, completely wrong!" An Pulin was so anxious that he almost cried.

The current Goryeo has no defenses, how can it be Da Song's opponent! Moreover, although he told Jin Can that he was not afraid of Song Jun when he was in Renzhou, he knew in his heart that the soldiers of Goryeo were absolutely no match for Song Jun!

"How did this happen? How did this happen? Didn't the Song people have civil and military disputes? Isn't the Central Plains a piece of fat? Why did they dare to attack us? Why did their emperor become so tough all of a sudden? No, I guess I just listened. Wrong! Ah!" An Pulin was drenched all over, and he yelled frantically.

"My lord, don't be afraid, we still have the Great Wall!" Li Rui said.

"That's right! Let's go back to Goryeo right away, no, we'll go to Liaodong immediately and tell General Cui Zhuo to be on guard! That's it! We can defend Goryeo, even Liaodong! We want to build a big country like Goguryeo!" An Pu Lin murmured.

It was raining non-stop, and they rushed day and night. In the middle of the night on July 14th, they arrived in Tianjin Wei.

Half of the horses along the way were exhausted and fell to the ground, and now only half of the attendants were behind An Pulin and Li Rui.

They originally wanted to go to the port immediately and leave Tianjin Wei by boat, but after arriving here, they discovered that martial law had been implemented in Tianjin Wei!

Even though it was dark night, there were countless soldiers standing guard and patrolling in Tianjin Wei. As soon as they arrived, they were immediately discovered by the soldiers. Hundreds of soldiers from the Song Army surrounded them and pointed their weapons at them.

"Let us go!" An Pulin said.

"We are envoys from Korea!" Li Rui said wittily, immediately.

"The Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo have already gone to war, and you Goryeo is our enemy country now! But Your Majesty has an order, if the two countries go to war, we won't kill you, but you can't run around!" A school lieutenant stood up, said coldly.

"We're going back to Korea!" An Pulin said anxiously.

"It's impossible!" the captain said.

"Where is our ship?" An Purin asked.

"The war started, and your ship was dragged to an abandoned pier nearby! Now the pier here is transporting troops!" said the captain.

"Moving soldiers?" An Pulin showed a surprised expression on his face.

"We're going to take a look!" Li Rui said.

The captain thought for a moment, then nodded.

After a while, An Pulin and Li Rui came to the pier. They saw hundreds of warships of the same size and specifications on the sea. Countless soldiers of the Song Army boarded the warships at the fastest speed. There is no loud noise, only occasional orders and counting sounds!

Ships headed towards the eastern sea one after another, like giant beasts rushing forward.

"How many soldiers should there be?" An Purin murmured.

"Tianjin Wei has a total of 50,000 navies, and they are all dispatched to Kaijing! Dengzhou's 40,000 navies have already set off for Renzhou a few days ago! Shizikou's 30,000 navies will soon set off for Haizhou!" the captain said indifferently. road.

"We also have sailors in Korea." Li Rui said.

"You have 10,000 sailors in Koryo, but they are scattered all over the place, so they are definitely not our opponents!" said the captain.

"We also have troops in Kaijing!" Li Rui said.

"Your garrison in Kaijing has reached 20,000 troops! But these 20,000 people have no combat experience and have never been engaged in any wars! Most of our 120,000 troops have participated in the battle with Jurchen. We have crossed the sea After the battle forced Yan Zonghan to retreat to Liaoyang, we also participated in the final battle against the Huanglong Mansion and the Jurchen Mansion of Huining Mansion, we are elite soldiers with a hundred battles and a strong army in the world!" said the captain.

"It is impossible for us Goryeo to be wiped out by you! Back in Goguryeo, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang conquered Goryeo several times, but failed to defeat them. It is impossible for you to be stronger than them!" Li Rui felt chills all over his body, but he continued Give yourself a pep talk.

"It was Goguryeo at that time, not Goryeo! At that time, Goguryeo was regarded as a race, similar to Khitan and Jurchen, but now Goryeo is much worse than Khitan and Jurchen! You just wait and see here, and it won't be long before the whole Goryeo I was completely defeated by Da Song!"

The rain was still falling, and the navy soldiers boarded the ship in the rain. Hundreds of large ships were heading east, drifting away...
