Water Margin Survival

"It's just that this Penglai is not that Penglai!" Wang Lun changed his tone, "The Penglai you mentioned refers to the first county of Dengzhou. Everyone here knows that. But my Penglai County is from the "Liezi" Penglai is recorded. "Tang Wen Pian" has a saying that "there are five mountains in the east of the Bohai Sea, one is called Daiyu, the other is called Yuanqiao, the third is called Fanghu, the fourth is called Yingzhou, and the fifth is called Penglai". Penglai. This island, formerly known as Kyushu, is located on the sea in the southeast of the Koryo Peninsula. It covers a vast area, which is almost equivalent to the sum of our Jingdong Deng, Lai, and Mi prefectures. Now the north of the island has been incorporated into the Liangshanbo Andong Protectorate territory, but the south of the island is still in the middle of a fierce battle with Japanese pirates.”

After listening to Wang Lun's explanation, all the new leaders here opened their mouths wide open. What is the concept of the combined land of Deng, Lai, and Mississippi?It firmly occupies half of Jingdong East Road!In this way, it is tantamount to saying that the land the size of half of Jingdong East Road has become the rear of Liangshan steadily, and has never been threatened by foreign enemies.

And Liang Shanbo's success in extending its influence to the Japanese islands is not only beneficial, but also has a very important meaning.That is, even if Liangshanbo fails to compete in the Central Plains in the future, it can retreat overseas and be rich and self-protected.It is completely a situation where you can become a hegemon if you advance, and you can become a prince if you retreat.

But then again, before that, who would have thought that Liangshan would not only open a film in Jingdong and the Song court, but also conduct another national war to conquer the Japanese kingdom at the same time?It is said that the cunning rabbit has three caves, and Liang Shanbo is even more startling than a rabbit. Wang Lun is really amazing!

The new leader who was holding the seal of "Teaching" in his hand and was a little bit dissatisfied, suddenly had more thoughts in his heart.No wonder Liang Shanbo kept recruiting and accepting traitors along the way, as if he wanted to pack up and take away all the people in Jingdong. The relationship is a newly laid place that needs people to reclaim it!And as more land is cultivated, it is natural to set up a government to collect taxes. To set up a government, at least there must be officials. When it comes to being an official, who is more skilled than them?

Even the most inactive person was moved, and the attitude of others can be imagined.At this time, the enthusiasm of the leaders for the newly born Penglai County suddenly rose. Now not only the new leaders are booing, but also many old leaders of the field army are also very interested, because everyone was temporarily transferred to the Jingdong battlefield, and all their energy was occupied by heavy affairs. Yes, I don't know much about the war in Japan, where Goryeo soldiers played the leading role.So the new and old leaders unanimously begged, wanting Wang Lun to introduce the war in the Wa Kingdom.

Wang Lun, who was planning to leave the meeting, saw that the crowd didn't intend to go to dinner at all. Instead, they were all aroused and thought to speak up to cheer everyone up.Immediately, he cleared his throat and began to talk about the Japanese war.

It has always been the interest of warriors to open up territories, and many of Wang Lun's views beyond the times are quite attractive. I saw the leaders sitting down and listening very carefully. Wang Lun talked about it casually for half an hour. When he stopped to drink tea, the leaders came back to their senses.

It doesn't matter if they are in a daze this time, the sound of discussion almost burst the ceiling.

"In a place with a bigger fart, 10 Goryeo soldiers were dispatched successively. Isn't this group of people fighting too loosely?! It's only now that the half-tune has been done, and half of the island is left in the hands of Japanese pirates." Li! Old Xu, you are so lucky! You can go to the front line to have fun, and teach this group how to fight by the way!"

Although he became the focus of the tent, Xu Jing always smiled and said nothing.Although he also has infinite expectations in his heart to go into battle, he is going to defend the rear and ensure the food road this time, that is to say, he has not received a front-line combat mission.Xu Jing has lived to such an advanced age, so he can naturally understand Wang Lun's love for the counterfeit armed forces.A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye should be left to the narrow-minded Koreans.In this kind of thing, no one can do better than them right now.

Xu Jing could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, but Xue Tianxing and Wen Qin couldn't stay any longer.At any rate, they were the closest to Penglai County among the surrendered generals, and they were just a little short of following Xu Jing to take office.At this moment, the two men drooped their heads, looked at each other and sighed: "Don't ever end up in the situation of 'I can't catch up with one step, I can't catch up with every step'!"

"In this way, the role played by the navy is really irreplaceable?!" When it comes to logistics support, many leaders who had almost ignored the navy gradually began to change their views.

"No, I thought that this country rarely sees foreign enemies landing on the island, and the country should be very rich. These fellows are like stones in a cesspit, not to mention smelly and hard, and they like to set themselves on fire! After the war, now this It seems that because the plan of supplying food to the enemy has completely failed, more than [-]% of the supplies still have to be transported across the sea from Koryo (Jeju Island). Fortunately, the Shanzhai had planned ahead and bought a lot of food and grass from the faint king in advance. Otherwise, even if it was seized No amount of gold and silver can be used to fill one's stomach!" Zhu Wu sighed and continued:

"Currently resettling the people, the requirement for food and grass is not a simple amount. However, the battle at the end of Penglai County, and the future battles in Fanghu County and Yingzhou County will definitely not be over in a short time. Alas, if we can It will be great if we fight another big war two years later! At that time, our immigrant life will be stable, and the self-produced grain will be able to scale up, which will greatly alleviate the situation of food shortage in the cottage!"

When everyone heard it, they all had personal experience. They didn't know about other places in Liangshanbo, but they still knew a little about how much food this Shamenzhai consumes every day!According to their private estimates, the three to four million stones of food that the big guys have worked so hard to move to the island from the Jingdong states, if the current consumption level is used, they may be able to eat every drop of rice in three months.Perhaps within two months, Liangshan will not only transport fresh water from the Licheng River from Koryo, but food will also account for the bulk by then.This shows how great the logistical pressure Liangshan is facing!

Just like what Zhu Wu said just now, although this huge number of immigrants will definitely turn into a solid foundation for the development of Liangshanbo in the near future, the problem is, do you have to make it to the "future" first?If people are starved to death halfway, what kind of solid foundation is there?

At this moment, everyone was silent, including the leaders of the rebel army who most expected Liangshan's army to fight back also bowed their heads.Although the group of surrendered generals just now were afraid of death, there was some truth to what they said.This time, Liangshan will kill the carbine and fight back to Jingdong, and he can no longer count on how much food has been seized from the state capitals!

"My lord! Master Zhu is right. There is a war going on in the Wa country. Should we postpone the battle to regain Jingdong for two years? At least it won't be too late until the folks we recruited can pay taxes! "Under the constraints of objective conditions, the position of the main combat faction took the initiative to soften, "Why don't we concentrate our efforts first, open up the Beiqing River channel, and first rescue Xu Junshi and the others trapped in Liangshanbo?"

Wang Lunjian said that he and Zhu Wu looked at each other, and said solemnly: "It's not that Guan Zhong failed to withdraw in time, but like a wedge, he took the initiative to nail Da Song's heart. And the big war I'm talking about The battle is not to fight against the Hunjun in Jingdong, to divide the life and death. It is to withdraw the main force from the Shamenzhai and go to Lelang County to drive the Jurchen barbarians who came to Cao County (Pyongyang) out of the Yalu River!"
