Chapter 683, 684 Xiangjun is back to Smecta!(1/2)
When Li Luo returned to the voyage, he did not let Goryeo go. He went to Jianghua Island and occupied this "hometown" without saying a word.
The location of Jianghua Island is very important. Occupying Jianghua Island can be used as a military base in the north, relying on the navy, threatening Dadu, Liaodong and Goryeo, like a sharp knife that lies in the hearts of the Mongol Yuan.
There are only more than 2,000 remaining Koryo Navy on Jianghua Island. How could it be the enemy of the Tang Fleet? Tens of thousands of Tang army navy approached the military port. As soon as the cannons bombarded, the Koryo Navy was forced to surrender the flag.
The commander of the Goryeo Navy was still Jiang Chengyi and An Jingjiu promoted by Li Luo. One of them was the commander of the Goryeo Navy and the other was Du Yuhou. They didn't want to resist Li Luo. :(/
After Jiang Hua Navy surrendered, Jiang Chengyi and An Jingjiu tied themselves up to see Li Luo, and when they met, they took the initiative to bow: "The last general Jiang Chengyi (An Jingjiu), see the general!"
Seven years ago, the two were just masters. Li Luo took over as the emperor of the Zuoying Si, promoted the two, and followed Li Luo to Zhengri, thus becoming a general of the Navy.
It can be said that without Li Luo, just by their background, there would definitely be no chance to become a general.
"Haha, Cheng Yi, Jing Jiu, He Returns Chi!" Li Luo said happily when he saw two former subordinates.
"Relax quickly! These two people are my old friends!" Li Luo ordered.
The two of them were lying on the ground and dared not get up, and they didn't even dare.
Li Luo personally helped them up, "Seven years ago, I was the sixth-rank naval commander Zuoying. At that time, you and the two of you were very capable. During the Japanese campaign, they fought hard with the Japanese navy and made great contributions. I have never forgotten these years."
Jiang Chengyi and An Jingjiu burst into tears and said tears: "Your Majesty will not forget the subordinates of Wei Shi, and I am grateful to you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you and return to Chi Yi."
This change of words means that it is willing to serve the Tang Dynasty.
Li Luo is now the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and still remembers them, so they cannot help but feel grateful.
Li Luo smiled and said, "It's not too late to return to Tang at this time. You two are naval generals, but unfortunately you are not worthy of Goryeo. I am going to form the Chinese Fleet, which will divide the three fleets of Beiyang, Dongyang and Nanyang. With you two navy as the base, you will form the Beiyang Fleet."
The two of them could not have been so respected, so they thanked him: "I thank Your Majesty for your trust, and I will repay you with great heart!"
Li Luo was very satisfied with the statement of the two, "I will grant you the rank of a great warrior and the rank of General of the Central Army. When you make contributions, your title will inevitably be left."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Tang army was not counted as the Yangtze River Fleet with 20,000 people, with a total of more than 40,000 navy. Li Luo planned to form another 5,000 Beiyang Fleet to control the Liaodong waters and threaten the northern part of the Yuan court and Goryeo.
The two of them were indeed generals. Jiang Hua's navy trained well and the warships were maintained well. Of course, they are all cheaper now.
The Jianghua Navy was the last established navy that the Yuan court could mobilize, and at this time he changed his flag and returned to the Tang Dynasty.
It means that Yuanting and Goryeo had no maritime power at all. Li Luo planned to add another 3,000 naval troops to the two, increase warships, and form a Beiyang fleet.
In this way, the Tang Navy's navy will reach 50,000, with a huge scale.
After acquiring Jianghua Navy, Li Luo returned to Mani Township, where he also had a Lijiawu Fort.
At this time, Jianghua Island had been controlled by the Tang army, but the Tang army did not violate it, and the people on the island were not affected.
Li Luo set foot on the familiar land and found that the people's livelihood here was different from before.
When he was a delegation from Duzhai and Tuanjian, the people in Mani Township and other places lived in peace and contentment, and their lives were getting better and better under his protection. At least they were no longer bullied by the gentry and could eat enough.
Therefore, the people were very grateful to Li Luo at that time.
But now, the island is full of desolation. After Li Luo raised his army, the people were bullied by the Yuan Ting and the Goryeo Wang Ting, and their lives became more and more difficult, and many people became Tian Nu.
The good days of the local people when Li Luo were there were like a flash in the pan, becoming an unforgettable memory for them.
The most common saying among the people now is: How great would it be if Lord Xiangjun was still there.
Now, it is time to harvest summer wheat, but the people in the fields have a sad face and no joy. Many people have a look of delicacy.
Although they harvest wheat, most of the food they harvested is not theirs.
After a year, I worked hard and worked hard, and I could only get 30% of the harvest, but I couldn’t even get enough to eat. It was so difficult to live.
They remember that when Lord Xiangjun was there, they could get 70% of the food, which was more than twice as good as the difference. And at that time they didn't have to borrow usury, so life was much better.
But now? Since Lord Xiangjun left, they have not lived like humans again.
A pale-faced man put down his sickle and said to another man: "Min Qi, I really want to jump into the sea and die. The days of these two years have been too hard."
The man surnamed Min sighed and shook his head, "Who said no? Alas, I don't know if Lord Xiangjun can come back. I remember that when Lord Xiangjun first arrived here, I took my children to his house to borrow rice. Lord Xiangjun gave him three liters of white rice without saying a word."
His tears flowed down, "I will never forget this thing in my life. The adults wish I could take away everything from us, who would still be willing to give us a grain of rice? Only Lord Xiangjun is nice to us."
Another man said, "I heard that Lord Xiangjun has made a Emperor of Tang, and has opposed the Emperor and the King. Do you think, can Xiangjun still fight back?"
At this moment, suddenly there was a loud voice from the beach, and then a large group of people ran over and shouted loudly.
"The king of the country is back!"
"Lord Xiangjun is back Simida, come out to greet him!"
"Hey! Lord Xiangjun is back in Smida! There are so many soldiers and horses!"
When Min Qi and others heard this, they stood up in surprise and rushed to the high shore, looking at it, "It's Xiangjun! It's Xiangjun!"
Many people threw away the farm tools and rushed over.
"Go and welcome the hometown gentleman Simida!"
Soon, the news that Li Luo returned to Mani Township was well known. All the people under his control helped the elderly and the young and went out, kneeling on the side of the road to welcome the villagers.
Many people shouted in tears, "I finally waited until Lord Xiangjun came back!"
Unlike the people's ecstasy, the Liu family was panicked.
Because they occupied Lijiawu Fort. After Li Luo raised his army, the Liu family occupied Lijiawu Fort without hesitation. They thought that Li Luo could not come back.
Unexpectedly, Li Luo not only became the emperor, but also led the army to fight back to Jiang Hua. He was back!
"Hurry! Get out of here!" Liu Chengming ordered to leave Lijiawu Fort, while anxiously instructing his servants to clean up the details.
At this time, he not only wanted to evacuate Lijiawu Fort, but also from Jianghua Island. He could not stay here.
As soon as Li Luo's war horse appeared in the countryside, it immediately caused a sensation.
"Mr.
"Gourmet to Lord Simida!"
Hundreds of people saw Li Luo’s familiar figure, just like children crying and excited when they saw their parents who had returned from a long time.
Li Luo couldn't help but feel moved as the people who were bowing and crying like the wind blowing the wheat waves.
That's what it is!
Even the guards and generals surrounded by Li Luo were very moved. Unexpectedly, His Majesty has been away for several years and still has such high expectations here.
This is the coming of the saint.
"Get up! Get up!" Li Luo raised his horse whip and said loudly, pointing to the large wheat field, "This year's wheat is all your own! By next year, the grain tax will only be 20%! All taxes will be abolished!"
What?
When the people heard this, they immediately cheered and shouted to Lord Xie Xiangjun. Soon, the smart people shouted to His Majesty's kindness.
More and more people changed their names to Your Majesty and kowtowed one by one.
They knew that the Xiangjun became the emperor and he really got back. He would not leave after he got back this time.
That's great.
As for the Goryeo King's King, what does it have to do with them? When did they care about their lives or death?
They just want to follow the king, not the king.
Soon, Li Luo came to Lijiawu Fort surrounded by the villagers of Goryeo.
However, by chance, I happened to meet the Liu family and the group who were in a hurry.
Liu Chengming had already left, but he was reluctant to leave the large amount of gold, silver and jewelry hidden in Lijiawu Fort, so he delayed for a while. This delay was awesome and happened to meet Li Luo.
When Liu Chengming saw Li Luo's team, he was shocked and had to escape west, but where could he escape?
In a blink of an eye, this usually domineering aristocratic son was taken to Li Luoma.
After all, Liu Chengming was born in a clan, and his understanding of the situation in the outside world was far greater than that of ordinary people. At this time, he simply knelt down on his own initiative and shouted loudly: "Little man Liu Chengming, come to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Your Majesty has a blessing and a golden opportunity!"
I remember that when he and Li Luo first met, they were at Chuandeng Temple. At that time, Li Luo was still a small person who could survive by sheltering the Chuandeng Temple.
But now, Li Luo occupied the entire south, became the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and competed with the Yuan Dynasty.
What's even more terrible is that the Liu family offended such a person and even died.
How could he not be afraid? Don’t regret it?
Of course, what he regretted was not offending Li Luo, but regret not killing Li Luo back then.
Li Luo looked at Liu Chengming kneeling on the ground and trembling, and couldn't help but remember what happened back then.
The Liu family back then was very arrogant.
"Liu Chengming, why did you occupy my hidden residence?" Li Luo said coldly.
When Liu Chengming heard the word "Qiandi", he realized that he was no longer lucky. He was so scared that he fainted when he turned his eyes.
"Liu's family occupied the Qian Mansion, made ill-intentioned and crazy... All males were killed, and female relatives were slaves! The slaves were released, and private soldiers were slaves! The property was confiscated!" Li Luo said bluntly.
None of the Liu family's father and son brothers are good.
At the order, the Liu family, who had dominated Jianghua Island for many years, was found dead and destroyed.
More than a dozen male members of the Liu family's direct branch were killed and their wealth was confiscated hundreds of thousands of taels of money were confiscated. The savings of the Liu family for many years were all cheaper to Li Luo.
After the Liu family was destroyed, Lin Feng, the governor of Jianghua County, came to pay a visit. Zheng Lu, the former governor, had long since stopped serving as an official in Jianghua. Lin Feng, the governor of the current governor, also came from a noble family. Of course, he knew that Li Luo was here to occupy Jianghua, so how dare he not surrender?
"In Xialin Feng, I will pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Lin Feng presented the Jianghua household registration album, "This is the household registration of this county, please read the imperial examination of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Luo picked up a household book, "Do you want me to let you go back to the mainland?"
It is obvious that judging from Lin Feng’s name to him, the other party was unwilling to serve him, otherwise he would not have called him “His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty”.
But that's fine. Li Luo doesn't like using officials from aristocratic families like Lin Feng.
"Yes. My next family is in Jinzhou. Please allow His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to resign and return to the north." Lin Feng answered cautiously.
"Accurate." Li Luo was too lazy to pay attention to Lin Feng again.
Humph, I will conquer the entire Goryeo and see where you are going. If you don’t serve me now, you will definitely regret not being loyal to you today in the future.
To be continued...
