One night later, Lin Fu met Zhen Feng again in the inner city of Jeju.
Overnight, Zhen Feng's hair became whiter and his face looked haggard. For him, whether he wanted to live or die, it was a difficult choice.
Lin Fu changed into a lake-blue Confucian shirt and walked out of the back house with Song Jia. He lifted up his lapel and sat cross-legged on the soft couch behind the desk. He looked at Zhen Feng sitting opposite him with his waist straightened and asked: "
What does Inspector Zhen think of my suggestion?"
"During the battle of Qingchuan River, Zuo Jing was surrounded by the Donghu people. After his release, he became a puppet and a yes-man of the Donghu people. If the commander expected Zhen to do the same, he would have made a mistake." Zhen Feng straightened his back.
, said neither arrogant nor humble.
"My envoy only hopes that the two countries will stop fighting and get back on good terms. Why have I ever thought of interfering in the national affairs of Goryeo?" Lin Fu said with a chuckle.
Zhen Feng slowly closed his eyes, but even at this moment he still had not made up his mind. Lin Fu said that he had no intention of interfering in the national affairs of Goryeo, but his meaning was as clear as the lice on a bald man's head.
After a long time, Zhen Feng opened his eyes, held the desk with both hands, lowered his head and said, "As the envoy wishes, Zhen is willing to go back."
"Okay!" Lin Fu laughed and said loudly, "Director Zhen is an understanding person, and it is easy to talk to people who understand. Governor Zhen is returning from this trip. If you have any requirements, I will try my best to satisfy you. But the request you made,
Don’t overdo it!”
"Zhi Zhi made a lot from this battle. I think there are some crude armors that Zhi Zhi doesn't like. Can I give them to Haiyang?" Zhen Feng said.
"It doesn't matter, there are no good things. Let three thousand Haiyang County soldiers go back with you. They must carry a spear and spear!" Lin Fu said generously. He was afraid that Zhen Feng would lose a group of soldiers by force.
Going to the sea. Since Zhen Feng had the intention of guarding against Zuo Jing, it was really good. Good things are useless. Three thousand spears are not worth much silver. He said, "The captured military attaché of Haiyang County's Military and Horse Division, you
Who do you want to go back with you? Come up with a list and I will let you do it!"
"Although I don't know who was captured by you, as long as they are the generals of Haiyang County, I hope that they can be brought back to Goryeo intact." Zhen Feng said.
He knew what Lin Fu was thinking, so he didn't expect Lin Fu to agree to take all the captured Korean generals back to Korea. However, he still wanted to take away all the generals from Haiyang County.
"Okay, it's up to you." Lin Fu said.
Song Jia knelt down and sat aside, pulled out a stack of files and handed them to Lin Fu.
Lin Fu took the file and looked at it, and said: "Here are the captured military attachés of Haiyang County, eighty-nine of whom were captains and above! The number of ordinary soldiers was 2,963... I'll give it to you
Find a more spacious residence and send your military attache there first."
If Zhen Feng wants to quickly control Haiyang County soldiers, he must first control his former subordinates. Not all of these eighty-nine military attaches are loyal to Zhen Feng. Besides, if they are suddenly released back to Goryeo, who knows what will happen to these military attaches.
think?,
Lin Fu first asked Zhen Feng to contact these military attaches first. As long as these military attaches can unify their thoughts first, he is not afraid of any troubles that may arise among ordinary soldiers.
Zhen Feng lowered his head and said, "Thank you for making it happen!"
**********
Lin Fu did not deliberately block the news of sending Zhen Feng and Haiyang County soldiers back to Goryeo. This incident shocked the Danluo people greatly, but it was Saga Norimoto who was the first to come over to persuade him.
"It was a clever plan to use Zhen Feng to divide the domestic forces in Goryeo, but how could we know that Zhen Feng and Zuo Jing could not let go of their old grudges? By then, I am afraid it would be too late to know the dangers of letting the tiger return to the forest."
Yorigen Saga said, "I read the history of the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin soldiers attacked Zheng, but were defeated by Jin soldiers when they returned. Qin's general Meng Ming and others were captured. Jin wanted to alienate Qin's monarchs and ministers, so he sent Meng Ming and others back. However,
After Meng Ming returned to Qin, not only did he die without being convicted, but he was still highly used by the King of Qin, and eventually led the army to severely defeat the Jin State. The lesson of the Jin State must be heeded by the officials!"
Qin's attack on Zheng happened during the period of Duke Mu of Qin. If the leader of Goryeo or the prime minister of Goryeo, Zuo Jing, who controlled the state, had half the talent and strategy of Duke Mu of Qin, he would not succumb to the iron heel of the Eastern captives and live an ignoble existence.
Not to mention being stupid enough to send tens of thousands of troops to Danluo Island at once.
"The concerns of the governor are reasonable," Lin Fu said, "so I only allow Zhen Feng to lead the Haiyang County soldiers back to Goryeo, and the other prisoners of war will still be detained..."
At this time, someone reported that Li Jian, the leader of the Danluo Kingdom, Chi Zhou, the governor of Dongzhou, and Jinye from Jinxiang came together to ask for an audience. Lin Fu invited them in so that they could explain the matter together.
Zhen Feng had been coveting Danluo in Haiyang County for a long time, and it was he who led the Haiyang County soldiers to invade Danluo first, setting off this war.
When Zhen was released and returned to Korea, the Danluo people were the most sensitive.
Danluo Kingdom's weak words made Li Jian, the leader of the country, very worried, but his voice was not as loud as Saga Yorigen's.
"After this defeat, it became more difficult for the Koreans to escape the grasp of Donglu," Lin Fu patiently explained to everyone, "After Donglu gained the two Liaos, their ambitions became uncontrollable and their desires were hard to satisfy, which would inevitably drive Goryeo to surrender.
The power of one country can confront us in Huaidong. After Zhen Feng returns to Goryeo, he will be jealous of Goryeo Prime Minister Zuo Jing, which will cause domestic conflict in Goryeo and resolve the pressure from Huaidong, Danluo, Saga and Jinxiang. Even if Zhen Feng
After returning to Goryeo, he immediately surrendered to Prime Minister Zuo Jing, but it only gave Goryeo 3,000 more generals, so what difference would it make?"
"What a wonderful plan," Kongo Tsuno clapped his hands in praise. "Even if Zhen Feng knew what Zhizhishi was thinking, after returning to Goryeo, he had to protect himself and confront the Korean Prime Minister Zuo Jing. In addition, Zhizhishi only let Haiyang
The county soldiers returned to Goryeo and detained other prisoners of war, which was even more wonderful. If Zhen Feng did not bring back soldiers and horses, he would not have the capital to establish himself. He led his troops back safely, which was to show his disapproval to Zuo Jing, the Prime Minister of Goryeo.
It is impossible to trust someone who is sincere. In addition to Haiyang County, Goryeo County, Guannai County and Shannan County sent the most troops in this battle. How could the dignitaries in these two counties not be suspicious of Zhen Feng? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the control
How wonderful it is to set up an envoy’s plan!”
Lin Fu smiled slightly and ignored Jingo Tsuno's praise, and said: "Speaking of prisoners of war, since everyone is here, let's talk about the treatment of prisoners of war! In addition to the Haiyang County soldiers who are to be repatriated to Goryeo, there are also
There are about 6,900 prisoners of war." He looked at the Lord of Danluo and asked, "Lord Li, how many prisoners of war can Danluo accommodate?"
It sounds cruel, but population, especially young men, has always been the most important resource for the farming system. The most important thing for Suidong invaders to break through and invade Yannan was to seize the population.
Lin Fu would not do anything to rob civilians, but he did not have the benevolence and morality to talk about the human rights of prisoners of war who invaded the country. Even a thousand years later, there were still labor reform prisoners.
Danluo Island, Dongzhou and Kyushu Islands have relatively sparse populations, so prisoners of war have become the most important trophies.
In this battle, the Danluo Kingdom sacrificed a lot, and Lin Fu had to set aside part of the spoils to make up for them.
In this war, Danluo lost about 2,000 young men. Compared with Dingkou, which had only 30,000 people, this was a very heavy loss. In addition, Danluo also had to maintain a standing army of about 3,000 people.
For a long time, the number of young men available for work on Danluo Island has decreased by nearly half compared to before the war.
The Danluo Kingdom is in great need of replenishing young labor, and prisoners of war are undoubtedly a good choice. The more prisoners of war, the better. There is too much greed, and control is also a problem, which will also cause trouble in the future.
Li Jian, the leader of the Danluo Kingdom, had already considered this issue. Seeing Lin Fu ask about it, he replied: "Danluo can barely accommodate three thousand people, and any more will be beyond its capabilities!"
Chi Zhou cursed in his heart: He was not afraid of being overfed. He sent Zhen Feng and Haiyang County soldiers back to Korea. There were less than 7,000 prisoners of war left, and Li Jian was going to eat nearly half of them.
"Then I will hand over the three thousand prisoners of war to Danluo for resettlement." Lin Fu thought that there would be no big hidden dangers in placing three thousand prisoners of war on Danluo Island, so he agreed and said to Chi Zhou and Saga Laigen, "
In addition, there are nearly 4,000 prisoners of war to deal with, which is quite troublesome. I hope the Dongzhou Governor's Office and the Saga clan can share the worries for me!"
Chi Zhou was overjoyed after hearing this. He did not expect that it would benefit him, so he hurriedly responded: "How can you say it is trouble? It is our good fortune to have an envoy to share our worries!"
Only then did Saga Yorigen put aside his dissatisfaction with Hayabusa for bringing the Kingo clan into the alliance. After all, by capturing Tsushima Island, the Saga clan had made up for the losses caused by the cession of Matsuura and Hirado, and there were still a large number of prisoners of war from here.
It can be said that the gains outweighed the losses in this trip. The conflict with the Jingo clan can be left to be resolved after the Taira clan is wiped out.
Saga Yorigen hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you for your trust!"
"Then I will ask the Saga family to deal with the two thousand prisoners of war," Lin Fu said, "The rest will be placed by the Dongzhou Governor's Office. Do you think this is a good deal?"
"Zhizhi is wise!" Chi Zhou and Saga said in unison.
The Saga family accepted only slightly more prisoners of war than Toshu, but Saga Yorigen was not satisfied. Lin Fu didn't give any prisoners of war to the Saga family, so what could he say? At least this time, in Saga
Between the Jingo clan and the Jingo clan, Lin Fu was leaning towards the Saga clan.
Kingo Tsuno didn't get any benefit at all, and there was no difference on his face.
In the battle of Danluo, the Saga clan and Chi Zhou did their best, but they were not rewarded for their merits. Instead, the Jinxiang clan was rewarded without merit. How could Lin Fu maintain his prestige in the Haidong region and carry out the policy of restraining the emperor?
Things were generally settled.
The chaos in the Central Plains caused a large number of refugees to flow south. Counting workers and their families, the total number of Dingkou in Chongzhou was close to 500,000. There were hundreds of thousands of floating residents in the entire Huaidong region who lived in poverty and could only rent small plots of land.
Or simply make a living by begging or stealing.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the Huaidong region has more people and less land, and its population resources are surplus, not insufficient.
If Lin Fu moved the prisoners of war to Huaidong and at the same time moved the refugees from Huaidong to Danluo Island and settled in Dongzhou, he would be looking down on the intelligence of Li Jian, Chi Zhou, Saga Laigen and others.
Since the excess population has become a burden to the Huaidong area, instead of escorting 7,000 prisoners of war back to Huaidong, it is better to generously give them to the Danluo, Dongzhou, and Saga families for resettlement; this also tells future generations:
As long as you follow Huaidong, it will always be beneficial.
