Chapter 158: The lion opens its mouth
"It's too much to deceive others! It's too much to deceive others!" After hearing this, General Cui Yugong was the first to stand up and curse the Mongols for their greed and shamelessness: "The Mongols have ill-intentioned intentions and escorted them in the name of sending soldiers to escort them. In fact, they must not be allowed to enter the country."
With the lessons of Xijing, the ministers present also knew this truth. It was just that the Mongolian troops were not stopped just by trying.
Then he heard Zhang Fengxian, a PhD in Chinese Studies, speak out: "Mongols are arrogant and if they forcefully stop them, they will be unbeautiful. It is better to send envoys to the capital to find out the reason and make it easier to deal with it."
"However! This method is very appropriate!" Other civil officials spoke one after another, praising Zhang Fengxian's method for being good.
On the other side of the military general, General Wu Shouqi snorted coldly: "With the weak Song Dynasty's corrupt bones fled to our Goryeo. Do you think we Goryeo people are like you Song people?"
Zhang Fengxian's grandfather was an envoy to the Song Dynasty envoy Goryeo. Later, because the Jin Dynasty invaded the south, the Goryeo king took the initiative to recruit his grandfather, so he accepted the official position of Goryeo, which was considered to have taken root in Goryeo.
Now that Zhang Fengxian's generation is already a doctor of Chinese studies, he is also a descendant of the Song people, and because of his identity as a scholar who admires Central Plains culture, he still has a good status in the court.
"You--" was scolded with a straight nose. Zhang Fengxian was a scholar and was most particular about decentness. He suddenly turned red and became angry.
"General Wu is so capable, why would he ask General Cui to fight and go to Tongjiang Zhiyou to personally resist the Mongolian heavenly soldiers?" Li Kui, the Minister of Justice, reported that he was weak on the side of the civil minister and immediately came forward to defend the Tao.
Now it's Wu Shouqi's turn to be mute! Because everyone knows the power of the Mongolians, no one really feels that they have lived enough. They want to learn from the unlucky guy Park Hyo-sen and are sent to Tongjiang Zhiyou to act as an egg to hit the stone with an egg.
In Goryeo, the conflicts between civil and military officials have been around for a long time. Although the rebellion between military generals broke out, the conflicts between the two sides were greatly released. Moreover, civil officials were also massacred in a targeted manner, but civil officials, like the wheat growing in the fields, were cut and then new crops grew.
Moreover, the new head of the Cui family, Cui Cha, is often praised as having a rich and literary spirit. When officials are promoted, they always tend to favor civil officials, so now, the momentum of civil officials is gradually increasing!
Therefore, the generals were extremely dissatisfied with this situation at the moment. However, Cui Cha was very good at making a lot of private soldiers in the city. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only endure it.
Now that I see that the argument continues, I will start to start, Cui Cha said, "Okay, okay! All the ministers and workers are all the words of the humerus. The Mongols are really greedy, and our Goryeo Kingdom cannot always let them do whatever they want. But the Mongolians are strong and strong, so we must not offend them. Just follow Dr. Zhang's words and send someone to ask about the reason!"
After saying that, it was actually a compromise attitude towards the Mongols. This was also the consensus of all the court officials present! After all, when fighting with the Mongols, everyone was unsure of it.
But before everyone left, a close friend rode a horse to the mansion. As soon as he saw Cui Cha, he said, "Report to General, Cui Zi, the Minister of Rites, has an urgent letter to send it back."
Since he went to Beijing, Cui Zi has not sent a letter back. If it weren't for the spy who were placed in Shang Jing that Cui Zi was still alive, they would have thought that the other party had been frozen to death last winter.
Now that I heard that the letter was sent back, the court officials did not need Cui Cha's orders to return to their original position. Cui Cha quickly opened the letter, which was not much. Only the Eastern Mongolian king was in the West Beijing, where the rebels often made trouble, so they specially sent large troops to suppress the local area. Now the local military supply was extremely insufficient, and it was the time for Goryeo to repay their kindness, so Goryeo provided one million chariots of food and grass. In order to avoid robbing grain on the road, a large army was sent to escort the Goryeo envoy back to receive the food and grass.
"Shameless! Shameless! Shameless!" Cui Cha angrily kneaded the letter paper into a ball, and cursed with a whisper. Even though he was well-educated, he was still angry by the shameless behavior of Eastern Mongolia.
"Prime Minister Cui, please calm down!" All the court officials immediately got up from their seats and knelt down to persuade them. Cui Cha didn't say much, and asked someone to recite the contents of his letter again.
When they learned the Mongolian intention, all the court officials present were angry. Because one million loads of food and grass were about to cut off the life of Goryeo. Even if they could be raised, there would be a chaos in the territory of starvation and rebellion. This was no different from forcing Goryeo to seek death.
But if you fight, no one of the court officials present was willing to start the war easily. So he still thought that he would send an envoy to Shangjing to plead with the kings of Mongolia in the east. He would reduce the food and grass provided by the emperor so that he could give the Goryeo a way out.
The last time this errand fell on Zhang Fengxian, which made him feel a little crying. After all, no matter how you look at this errand, it is not a good errand!
Just when the Goryeo court was worried about this, a large army had crossed the Yalu River and arrived at Baozhou County on the right bank. It was once a nail set up by the Liao Kingdom on the right bank of the Yalu River, which made the Goryeo Kingdom unable to sleep or eat.
Later, with the overthrow of the Liao Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom took away Baozhou and became Yizhou of Goryeo. Now that the East Mongolia has arrived, its name has been changed to Baozhou. However, the administrative level has been reduced to Baozhou County, and it has been governed by Liaozhou in Liaoning Province. The prefecture is located in Shenzhou County and has now been renamed Shenyang.
The new magistrate of Baozhou County, Jin Shangdao, had someone prepared food and food in advance and specially went outside the city to greet him.
Because Eastern Mongolia expanded too fast and its own administrative officials were insufficient, many places still retained former officials. The magistrate of Baozhou County, Jin Shangdao, was the former magistrate of Goryeo. When the Khitans and Jurchens were at the city one after another, the guards had already led their troops to escape. But he closed the city gate and defended the city. Until the Mongols arrived, they saw that the Khitans and Jurchens were beaten to the point of being thrown away by the Mongols, they took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender.
It was this active manifestation, and the fact that during the local administration, there were many talented people, so after the reconsideration of the Privy Council, he was kept in office and then used.
However, all the Goryeo people in the city have moved to Liaozhou, and there are 300 herders from Hailar Province moved here. The current magistrate of Baozhou is a Mongolian personality. This honest Mongolian man who has been grazing on the grassland for most of his life has never thought that he would be an official one day.
It was also because of the relocation of Baozhou, there were not many people. In addition, in terms of the trust of the newly attached places, the local people were definitely not as reliable as the Mongolians from Hailar Province. So after he drove the ducks on the shelves, he became the governor of Baozhou.
After several times of eliminating local bandits, this honest herder became confident. Now he is in a good position in front of the magistrate.
