Chapter 705: The Monk is Cruel
The girl in colorful clothes thanked her elder brother with a smile, and said happily: I didn't expect that elder brother Gaoli also knew the name of this princess, hehe.
Later, Wu Yuqi said with a smile that she was showing off and should go and clean up the mess.
The imperial physician from the Shunfeng Division came up early to diagnose and treat the injured. The young emperor's concubine was stabbed in the waist and died on the spot, and the queen was also slightly injured by an arrow.
Wu Yuqi pointed her sword at the corpse's big feet and said to the little emperor: Only by wearing clogs for a long time can it have such a shape, a typical Japanese disguise. The island country of Japan wanted to assassinate the king and frame the new Song Dynasty to create discord between the two countries. I followed it all the way, but I was still a step late.
The little emperor knew that it was Zhao Yulin's wife Wu Yuqi who personally led the Shunfeng Division to catch the criminal. He was already grateful and thanked his wife and the upper country for the proper arrangements and protection.
Zhao Guangchen came to report to her that some remnants had escaped and the uncles and brothers were tracking them down.
Wu Yuqi didn't bother to waste time with the little emperor and said to Guangchen: "No one can escape." She then bowed and said goodbye to the King of Goryeo, and with another wave of her hand, a group of men in black escorted the mother and daughter down the stairs quickly.
Not far away at the Yuelai Inn, a group of Japanese pirates led by a samurai with a high bun on their heads were fighting fiercely with the monks from the Tianlong Temple who had just stayed there.
These Japanese pirates did not expect that the monks of Tianlong Temple would return from Duolin Temple and live in their lair. The assassination plan had already been launched and could not be cancelled. When the escaped Japanese pirates entered the inn again, they immediately alarmed the monks of Tianlong Temple, and the two sides soon fought together.
When the people from Shunfengsi who came up later revealed their identities, the abbot of Tianlong Temple immediately chanted a Buddhist name and asked the officials to raid the battlefield, allowing Tianlong Temple to do its bit for the court. The cassocks were seen flying, and the white-bearded monks were killing people one by one.
In this way, there is no doubt that these clowns will be caught.
Zhao Guangchen collected the prisoners captured from Tianlong Temple and went back to tell Wu Yuqi: Yuqi's mother, the monks were so cruel. Only two of the five Japanese were left alive. One of them was only breathing out but not breathing in. He probably won't survive the night.
Wu Yuqi said that our daughter is so powerful that she would go up and take away the enemy's arm or leg. That's scary.
Zhao Guangchen immediately burst into laughter.
Zhao Yulin was helpless when he learned that Wu Yuqi and Guangchen were handling a case in Jiankang Prefecture, and he sat listlessly in the office drinking tea.
Shunzhidi came up from behind and massaged his shoulders and neck, telling him not to worry, the headmistress was also present and Guangchen would not suffer any loss.
He said that the senior monks of Tianlong Temple had all taken action, and Guangchen had the help of these god-level martial immortals but still failed. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to our New Song martial arts world?
Zhidi said with a smile: What are you worried about?
Brother, just drink your tea.
Hangzhou Prefecture in Liangzhe Road welcomed the first snow of the winter. The meeting room was brightly lit and warm. The female gang leader was holding a meeting.
The Ministry of Personnel knew that she did not like writing and drawing, so they specially selected a trainee deputy envoy for Hangzhou. The female gang leader asked the deputy envoy to preside over the meeting and summoned the heads of the prefectures and counties to study the training minutes of the Chengdu Central Academy together. They sat there for three full days.
After the training, the female leader began to give a speech, telling the officials that the court should shift to economic construction and focus on creating a happy life for the people. In the future, the government should formulate a five-year strategy, and the prefectures and counties should also formulate corresponding strategies: how to do education, how to make a living, how to repair roads, there must be a plan, and one term after another, no reckless behavior is allowed.
If anyone tries to take advantage of the situation and enrich himself, don't blame her for breaking his spine with the Beggar Gang's dog-beating stick.
The officials in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment, not daring to make any noise, and picked up the brushes in their hands to write down quickly.
However, during this meeting, the female gang leader treated all the county officials to a meal for the first time, and also served them aged Grain-Feng wine.
The female gang leader happily raised her glass to toast, telling everyone: the road administration in Liangzhe is in good order and the people are harmonious. The rulers and vice rulers in the court are very satisfied. Vice Ruler Hua even appointed me to give a speech at the conference on how to punish corrupt officials. Hahahaha.
Come, come, let’s toast to the peace and tranquility in Liangzhe.
The next day, the trainee deputy envoy prepared the minutes of how the Liangzhe Road should implement the training meeting for the pacification envoys, and asked the female gang leader to sign and report to Chengdu.
The female gang leader easily convened all the deputy envoys for a discussion, requiring them to divide the work and cooperate to quickly come up with a five-year development strategy for Liangzhe.
While they were discussing the details, news came from Shunfeng that the salt merchant Zhang Shicheng had spent a huge amount of money to build a huge mansion in Qiantang. Someone reported that he had forced his concubine to death and killed the maid to silence her.
The female gang leader perked up when she heard this and said with a smile: I have just made so many plans and was just worried that I didn't have enough money, and then the good news came right away.
She glanced at the transport envoy and said, "I will go solve the case and find the silver right away. Please use your brains." Then she smiled and called the manager of the Shunfeng Office to start.
In Liaoyang Road, Miao Gui, Feng Guiqi and Liu Zheng were also discussing road administration affairs.
Feng Guiqi praised the court for making money for the people and living a good life, but we are still planning to attack Japan.
Miao Gui said that this was a rare opportunity for us soldiers. If it were on the Lingbei Road, Marshal Hao would still be doing miscellaneous work to suppress bandits, and he was still tens of thousands of miles away from Zhang Zhi.
The three of them then burst into laughter.
Liu Zheng told them: There had been two consecutive heavy snowfalls on the peninsula, and the snow at the pass on the official road was two feet thick. The marching of the troops and the transportation of logistical supplies almost came to a halt.
Feng Guiqi nodded and said that the weather in Liaodong was extremely cold. Our current environment is not like the time when we were fighting hard. In order to gain the upper hand, we had to climb on ice and lie in the snow. If we are not in a hurry, then there is no need to rush.
Miao Gui had a different view. He believed that both combat troops and logistical transportation had to be moved. Otherwise, if the comfortable days lasted too long, the soldiers would not know how to fight.
Liu Zheng nodded and said: We will organize two columns to carry baggage and march to Busan to train the soldiers' adaptability in the ice and snow.
Miao Gui nodded and reminded him to go south to train the troops sent from Goryeo. The third young master had ordered that the Goryeo army should be trained to be a team like our Shenwei Army, and to kill the Japanese pirates in the same way.
Liu Zheng immediately answered solemnly "Yes." Geng then said goodbye and left.
Feng Guiqi said that it was not only military affairs , but also road construction and education. The court sent a trainee deputy envoy, and the young man was very meticulous. As soon as he arrived, he gave me a pile of manuscripts, all of which were oral instructions from the third young master and the various kings. I dare not be careless.
Miao Gui smiled, and after taking a sip of tea, he said that the Third Young Master's idea was brilliant. In the past, if the emperor wanted to summon the governors from all over the country, it would be a supreme honor and a rare opportunity.
However, for an important city like Liaoyang, if Marshal Feng had to travel back and forth to the imperial capital every now and then, he would probably spend a lot of time on the road. How could he get anything done?
Even the road from here to Pyeongyang would probably make Liu Zheng's butt sore, and he still has to rush to Busan.
When Feng Guiqi heard this, he spat out the tea he had just drunk with a "pucker" sound, and said with a smile, "How come eldest brother has also learned the third young master's tone?"
Miao Gui said that he was impressed that the Third Young Master would find a way.
I heard that the young master is working on a telegraph. Xinshi has electricity, and the telegraph also needs electricity. With the telegraph, if we have any urgent matters, we can send a telegram from here to Chengdu, and we can receive a reply from the third young master in minutes.
Feng Guiqi was very curious, how could the Third Young Master make so many novel things?
He suggested to Miao Gui: They should both go to Busan. The landing operations against the Japanese pirates were in full swing. What's the point of them living in Shenzhou? They were too far apart and very inconvenient.
Miao Gui looked at the heavy snow outside the window and said, "Let's wait a little longer. The Japanese pirates have invaded Goryeo for such a long time, and they must have planted a lot of spies on the island. If we all go to Busan, Fujiwara on the opposite side will definitely be so frightened that he won't be able to sleep.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Inside the Japanese island, at the Fujiwara Shogun's mansion, this guy was listening to the report from his spies. After the New Song army destroyed his expeditionary army, they did not leave, but built military camps and stationed there in Yeosu, Dolsan and Busan.
These troops conducted drills back and forth with the New Song army stationed in Pyeongyang, as if they were treating Goryeo as their own territory.
Fujiwara felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. In the past two years, he had been preparing for the conquest of Goryeo, but he ended up suffering countless casualties and was almost wiped out by the Kamui Army. The army that landed on the Goryeo Peninsula was forced to become a vassal state of the New Song Dynasty, making the Kamui Army of the New Song Dynasty and his island country of Japan neighbors across the sea.
Oda, who was appointed as the governor of Goryeo in a time of crisis, narrowly escaped death and returned to the island of Wa to continue serving as his chief steward. Chief Steward Oda cautiously told him: The Kamui Army is too powerful, we are bound to lose them. They live on the other side of the river and won't leave. Are they going to cross the sea to settle accounts with us?
Fujiwara stared at Oda with a pair of hawk-like eyes, thinking that this man was frightened by the Kamui Army. He was really imaginative. He was even worried that the Kamui Army would cross the sea to land on Amaterasu Island to fight like them and destroy his island country.
Is it possible?
His empire mobilized ships from all over the country to transport men, horses, and food to fight against Goryeo.
The Shenwei Army was fighting with Zhenla in the south and with its island kingdom of Wa in the north. Now the war was just over and the Shenwei Army was going to cross the sea to fight them again?
Fujiwara did not believe that the new Song Dynasty was so powerful that it could attack wherever it was pointed. Even the grassland empire that was rampant in the past had to fight a battle and rest for two years before fighting again.
However, the news brought by the spy did shock him. Because of the strong backing of the New Song, Goryeo recovered quickly after the war. The Shenwei Army's ships continuously transported supplies to the island. The refugees of Goryeo actually survived the famine by eating the food of the New Song. One hundred thousand men and women were mobilized to repair the roads.
The official road from Busan to Kaesong was full of people working on the road. How much money and food did it cost? The hoes, shovels, steel chisels and pickaxes used for the road construction alone were enough to smelt iron.
The spy reported to him that these were not a problem as the New Song Dynasty had directly shipped the ready-made tools there. Blacksmiths had set up many iron furnaces along the route to repair the tools, and one could tell from the sight of them sweating profusely as they forged the tools that the tools were made of fine iron.
This guy was very unwilling.
