Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 218 Scare people

Li Buqi looked at the envoy who was going to Tamra: "I wonder what poems those people on Tamra Island wrote to satirize the Song Dynasty? Do you remember?"

The envoy was so stared at by Li Buqi that he felt guilty, and quickly avoided Li Buqi's gaze and said: "It's unbearable, the words from the golden palace have polluted His Majesty's ears."

Li Buqi said: "You must always know yourself and the enemy when you do things. How can you make rash conclusions on important military and state affairs just because you say 'unpleasant'? If you don't remember, then I have no choice but to ask Your Majesty to send someone to Tamluo again."

Li Buqi's notoriety spread far and wide, and he declared that he would send people to Tamluo again. The envoys dared not hide anything, and they didn't even dare to make up lies, so they had to answer truthfully: "Their poems are written like this: 'Yong Yongcai is an official, elegant and elegant. Benevolence and Confucianism. Peel off the skin of a tiger, and borrow the fake Yao and Shun. The teeth hide needles and cones, and the belly and intestines are full of maggots. The mouth has blessings and prestige, and the fingers are specially rewarded for punishment. The four seas should breathe, and a thousand miles can be relaxed. Cut off the naked body, Drinking blood to fatten the skin. Devouring good people, chewing and refusing to vomit. Even the bed is lined with yusheng, and the other house is connected with concubines. A family of thousands of rafters, a mouth of thousands of warehouses. Children attack the princes, slaves and maids connect with hairpins...'”

Li Buqi secretly smiled inwardly.It is said that Luo Tongluo's talent level is average, and he can't write any decent poems. Sure enough, the poems that Luo Tong used to answer the envoy were "written by Li Buqi".

This poem should be a poem chanting locusts written by a poet in the Song Dynasty. Li Buqi only remembered this passage of exposing corrupt officials through the mouth of locusts. He wrote it out once while chatting with Luo Tong and the others, and was caught by the audience. Luo Tong is regarded as a masterpiece.This poem does not directly scold the emperor, but more scolds corrupt officials, so when he heard that Luo Tong was referring to this poem, Li Buqi felt confident.He didn't make a sound, just looked at the emperor's face.

Sure enough, the emperor's expression was very exciting, and Wen Yanbo and others' expressions were also very exciting.After the envoy finished reading, the emperor, who was obviously touched, said first: "Oh, it is my improper employment that makes my people suffer overseas. This is my loss."

Wen Yanbo immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't trust the words of the unscrupulous. This is an excuse for the dissatisfied unscrupulous to deceive people, and it is not credible."

The other ministers immediately agreed. "Yes, Your Majesty, how can you believe such unreasonable words!"

Believable or not, the emperor himself was touched.Li Buqi didn't expect a poem to make the emperor repent and renew politics, so he didn't bother with this matter, and said directly: "Your Majesty, judging from this poem, although the people on Tamna Island are very fond of Song Dynasty If the officials are dissatisfied, they may not be dissatisfied with His Majesty, so they may admit that they are Song people. However, if His Majesty orders to blockade the port and cut off their connection with the Song Dynasty, they may further deepen their resentment and even surrender when they are desperate. Go to Goryeo. If they can sail to Tamna, they can lead the Goryeo people to sail to Dengzhou and Mizhou. Then we will no longer have the sea and natural dangers to rely on on the roads east of Jingdong. What if the Khitan drives Goryeo to attack? Don’t forget Goryeo surrendered to Khitan."

The characteristic of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty is how cowardly they are.Hearing that the Koreans might be calling from the sea, everyone trembled, and the emperor couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

At this time, Liang Shi, a privy scholar, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think there is any need to worry about Goryeo. I heard that someone in Song Dynasty once went to Goryeo and watched Goryeo's soldiers. He thought that Goryeo's soldiers were extremely weak and could not be fought. Such a country You can't even beat a group of Song people, so how can you attack Song?"

Li Buqi turned to Liang Shi: "I also heard that Goryeo's soldiers are weak, but what if Goryeo launched an attack from the sea when the Khitan invaded? Or did the people of the Song Dynasty turn to Goryeo and become Goryeo's pioneers? Or were the Goryeo people driving?" What about the Khitan people floating in the sea? Has Scholar Liang ever thought about these possibilities?"

Liang Shi said: "Even if the people of the Song Dynasty voted for Korea, it was only a small number of people who suffered from scabies. They only needed to send a few battalions of imperial troops in Dengzhou and Mizhou to subdue it."

Li Buqi said: "That's not what you said. Once the port is closed and the export of grain and iron is not allowed, the ships going overseas will be affected, and the construction of commercial routes will come to a standstill. I don't know how many sailors will be unemployed. These people As long as some desperadoes defect to Goryeo, and then others follow suit, it will not be as simple as Goryeo soldiers being weak."

Liang Shi curled his lips and said, "Isn't Li Junjian's alarmist talk? It's because the sea trade is profitable, so he is not willing to part with the profit. It is well known that Li Junjian's participation in the sea trade."

Li Buqi simply ignored Liang Shi's accusation.The emperor took the lead in the matter of Haimao, and with the emperor as a great god standing in front of him, Liang Shi couldn't spray on Li Buqi.He chuckled: "Scholar Liang forgot that one of my positions is to promote the Royal Proving Ground. Participating in Maritime Trade is to find sales for the new products of the Proving Ground. This is not as simple as the profit of Maritime Trade. I oppose the blockade." The port is only based on the above possibility, it would be the best if my gentlemen can confirm that my worries are unnecessary."

Li Buqi said it lightly.However, the lessons learned from Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao's defection to Li Yuanhao are the lingering nightmare in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. No one dares to ignore it when Li Buqi uncovers it like this. Thousands of people.

Li Buqi started talking and stopped talking.He knew that a lot of people had invested money in it recently because they saw that the sea trade in the north was making money. It's strange that these people didn't jump out to oppose the blockade of the port.Sure enough, as soon as he shut up, several civil servants jumped out and complained about the ills of the blockade of the port.

Because the envoy took a boat from Lichengjiangkou in Goryeo to Dengzhou and then came back. He walked slowly. Before he returned to Beijing, the letter from Tamna Island had already arrived in Li Buqi's hands.

Luo Tong said that the envoy from the Song Dynasty first took a boat from Dengzhou to Jianghua Bay on the west bank of the peninsula, and then went south by land after meeting the king of Koryo, and then went to Tamna by sea. Therefore, when the envoy went to the island, he revealed that Koryo gathered more than a hundred ships of various sizes. News that he intends to offend Tamra again.So the Tamna navy led the way with the captured Goryeo navy, followed the messenger ship to the Goryeo port, launched a fire attack in the middle of the night, and burned the Goryeo fleet.

The Star Lord on Tamna Island brought thousands of Koryo troops, and the lack of food on the island caused a large number of natives to die.In order to survive, many Tamna natives either ran to the Song people, or clashed with the Goryeo army, so the prestige of Star Lord plummeted.Right after the Goryeo fleet was burned, Luo Tong was established as a new generation of star masters, and Shi Feng and the others had already controlled the entire Tamna Island.

Killing the Koryo fleet and taking the islanders as their own, in fact, the overall situation of Tamna has been settled.So Li Buqi is in a relaxed mood now, even if he can't prevent the emperor from making a decision that is not good for Tamna, he just needs to wait for a while for Luo Tong and the others to completely digest Tamna Island.

As expected.With these people mixed in, there was another quarrel in the court.On the one hand, he was afraid of offending Goryeo, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the Song people on Tamna Island would be forced to the side of Goryeo and Khitan.Then, some censors jumped out to accuse the emperor of causing trouble by opening the sea trade rashly for small profits, and several censors jumped out to impeach Wen Yanbo and other prime ministers for being incompetent, causing the people to suffer and have to live overseas.

This topic was completely biased, and in the end there was no result.The emperor had no idea, so he had to send another minister to discuss the matter, and then ordered to withdraw from the court.According to Li Buqi's experience, such a discussion will take a lot of time.
