Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 191 Improper Nanny
PS: Apologies here.I made a mistake when I wrote about Zhang Deyi a few days ago. This guy surrendered to Wang Ze, so he was killed by the emperor later, so he should not be put in prison by the rebel army.Typos have been corrected.

Thank you Tong Tianlei for your reward, today is the third update.

Tao Lin, no, it should be called Tao Wei now, stood on a huge rock on Gangya Island, and began to deliver his speech in front of hundreds of prisoners with unusually bright faces.

"Wen Yanbo wants to kill all the people who participated in the rebellion, to scare those who want to rebel in the future! Fortunately, someone wrote a letter to Zhao Guan's family, so you were not beheaded. But do you think those officials will spare you? Just like you Rebels have always been dispatched to Salmon Island, and you have seen what Salmon Island looks like! Compared with beheading, they just die earlier and die later, and the way of death is different!"

"Do you want to die? If you don't want to die, follow me!"

Du Meng asked loudly: "What are you going to do at home?"

Tao Wei pointed to the sea to the north: "To the north, one hundred miles away is Suzhou in the Liao Kingdom! There are big trees needed by the Song Dynasty! There are iron mines! After the trees are cut down, there will be fertile land! There is a place to build a foundation. Good place. Since you can't survive in Song Dynasty, follow me to Liao Kingdom to build your own foundation!"

"Does anyone dare to go to Liao Kingdom with me? If you don't dare to go, you can raise your hand and I will send him back to Salmon Island!"

No one expected that this would be the case, the span was too great, some people were at a loss, and some people whispered.Tao Lin didn't stop people's clamor, just waited with a smile.Du Meng puffed up his chest and asked loudly: "We are all fighters, so what's the point if we go to Liao to fight, but what good will it do us? Besides, Liao cavalry are not easy to fight. If you don't have weapons at hand , that is to die."

Tao Wei smiled and said: "Of course there are benefits! The land of the Liao Kingdom is our own! In the future, these lands can be distributed to you! But this is a long-term benefit. Let's talk about the short-term first. If it is within three or two years , if you can find a place to stay, I can find a way to bring your family and reunite with you!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered up.Someone asked, "Is this true?"

Tao Wei said: "In fact, it doesn't cost much to bring your family here, but where will you take your family? You can see that the nearby islands can't accommodate many people. If there is no fertile land, your family I can only suffer with you."

Seeing that people were all concentrated, Tao Wei waved his hands, and the two unfolded a large map drawn on silk.Tao Lin pointed to the map and said, "See here? This is the terrain of Suzhou, Liao Kingdom! It is full of woodlands and swamps, which is not conducive to cavalry! And it is surrounded by sea on three sides, so there is no use for Liao cavalry here! This place has the narrowest land, less than ten li! Liao people are not good at water warfare, as long as they can build a city here, why not occupy it?"

Now someone started nodding.Tao Wei said again: "Don't worry, I bought you with money, and I won't let you fight with the Liao people! As long as you listen to me, in a few years, this place will be ours!"

Then Tao Wei said to Du Meng: "As for the weapons, don't worry. I will definitely get you the weapons that suit you."

A young man behind him picked up a crossbow winkingly, and the veterans could tell at a glance that it was the standard crossbow used by the Song army.Now Du Meng is more careful about Tao Wei's origin, thinking that no matter how bad the situation is now, he will die, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Hearing Tao Wei's meaning, his ambition is not small, and if he fights along, he may be salty The fish turned over.So he took the lead and yelled: "In this case, the Sa family is with you! It's just that what Chief Tao said today must not be broken!"

Tao Wei jumped down from the rock and walked in front of Du Meng, saying, "Of course we won't break our promise. If we don't believe it, we can give you a high-five as an oath!"

Du Meng stretched out his hand, and the two clapped their hands three times.Seeing this scene, other people also expressed their willingness to follow Tao Lin.After all, no one wants to go to Salmonella Island to wait for death, right?
Du Meng was the representative of the prisoners at this time, so he asked, "Chief Tao, when will we go to Liao?"

Tao Wei said: "It's not urgent. I'm not familiar with everyone. If I rush to Liao Kingdom, something will inevitably go wrong. Besides, there are still some things that need to be done, so let's practice on this island for a few months before we talk about it."

Du Meng exchanged glances with the others, and felt somewhat more at ease.No matter what the other party's purpose is, they are willing to let so many people eat for nothing for a few months, which shows that they really don't take these people seriously, so the promise of Chief Tao is still somewhat credible, so I decided to look at it first. It depends.

————————————————————————

Li Buqi was anxious about the emperor's urgency, and rushed back to Bianliang non-stop along the way, deliberately not washing the dirt on his face, dusting his clothes before entering the palace to pay the order.The emperor praised Li Buqi in a routine, and gave Li Buqi's father a small official.This is the proper meaning of rewarding heroes, and the ministers did not object.

After the princes retreated, Zhao Zhen waved his hands and retreated to the left and right, leaving only the old eunuch Chen Lin alone.Then he asked: "Recently there are some rumors in the capital, have you heard of them?"

Seeing that the emperor's cheeks were swollen and the corners of his mouth a little angry, Li Buqi couldn't help but secretly smiled, but he still pretended to be silly and said: "It's about the country, and I've heard about it, but I've always had a lot of business, so I didn't ask about it." The minister thinks that His Majesty will decide this matter, and he didn't go out of his way to understand it."

If Li Buqi said he didn't know anything about it, it would be false.He said he had heard about it, but he didn't know the details. Zhao Zhen didn't feel that there was something wrong, and then said: "Now the government and the opposition are arguing that the fate of the leftover is bad. Come down. There are still people who bluntly say that the leftover will even conquer the country of the Song Dynasty. So now they all want me to send the leftover to Xiangguo Temple to become a monk. What do you think about this?"

Royal affairs are not so easy to meddle with, Li Buqi said: "This is His Majesty's family matter, I think His Majesty has already made a decision."

Zhao Zhen said with rare sternness: "You saved the leftover son, you can't get rid of it, and you can't shirk it."

Li Buqi then said solemnly: "I am afraid that your majesty will send the third prince to become a monk according to those people's words. After a few years, someone should say how cruel your majesty is."

After finishing speaking, Li Buqi peeked at the corner of the emperor's mouth twitching and continued: "Your Majesty didn't have a son at that time. These people said that the first child raised by His Majesty was the one who conquered his parents and brothers, and the one who conquered Jiangshan. Do you mean His Majesty? Shouldn’t there be blessings? If His Majesty sends the third prince to become a monk, I’m afraid someone will think of it.”

Zhao Zhen's mouth twitched even more.

Li Buqi went on to say: "I think those people have ulterior motives, so they don't care about fabricating rumors."

Zhao Zhen looked a little crazy: "Then does not give up mean that these are all nonsense?"

Li Buqi tried his best to pretend to be fair: "I have no research on such things as divination and numerology, so I dare not say it, but what I have seen is mostly false. If you count your fate, you can determine the survival of the country. So how did Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties perish?"

Zhao Zhen asked again: "What you said makes sense, but you have often heard about the matter of restraining your parents and brothers. Is it true?"

Li Buqi knew that Zhao Zhen was not a strong-willed person, but also timid. Now that so many magicians are fooling him that there is a matter of restraining his parents, and his own life is involved, it is no wonder that he is not afraid.Now the emperor is repeatedly asking his own opinion, in fact, hoping to say something that fits his inclinations from his mouth, so that he can get comfort in his heart, but he will not say this, he is not a nanny.

Although the emperor looked at him eagerly, Li Buqi still said solemnly: "I don't know what your Majesty heard, but I think that most of them are pretentious matters."

Seeing that Li Buqi couldn't hear what he wanted to hear, the emperor could only say: "Well, I understand. You have been away for a long time, so go home and have a look. I will give it to my third brother in two days. Let's take a look with the fourth brother, the fourth brother was sick again a few days ago."
