If the great man-eating leader named Gargamel had not brought the Mamuluke cavalry into Jiaozhi, they might have been killed by the two families of Buddha and Witch together soon.
But he brought Ma Mu as a guest, and he had absolute strength to frighten both the Buddhist and witch families.
The two families of Buddhism and Witchcraft can only use their influence to slowly kill the cannibal.
Ninety-nine percent of the time, the Great Cannibal will slowly die out under their joint attack.
"To me, the Great Song Dynasty, it doesn't matter who suffers, we can all benefit from it. It's best if the Great Eaters are weaker. If they don't take advantage of me, how can they beg me? If they don't beg me, how can I plan the rest of the Wisdom Hall?
Book, how to sell the armaments replaced by the Song Dynasty at a high price?"
The fight between the three religions is developing according to Kou Ji's thoughts.
However, after Annan's army entered Jiaozhi, it stalled due to the religious fighting among the three parties, which was not in line with Kou Ji's wishes.
Kou Ji thought about it for a moment, and then told the middle-aged man: "After you go back, send someone to send a message to Cao Li, telling him not to be idle. Let him take people to Jiaozhi to make a fuss and plunder.
Leave again.”
After hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "General Cao has many soldiers now. After he enters Jiaozhi, he will definitely be able to conquer more cities."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "He is only allowed to plunder money and food this time, but is not allowed to attack the city. Others will die for us, so we don't need to let our own people fight to the death."
When they fight until both sides are injured, that's when we really enter the game."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man showed a wry smile on his face and said: "General Cao said that Jiaozhi is not worth mentioning in his eyes. As long as you nod, within three years, he will definitely take the throne of King Jiaozhi.
Delivered to you."
Kou Ji said angrily: "I know that Cao Li's power is not weak, and he has the strength to use his tricks against Li Chao of Jiaozhi. But I want the land of Jiaozhi and the women of Jiaozhi.
If we want to rule that area in the future, it will be very disadvantageous for us to have the reputation of being a butcher.
It's better to leave the butcher's reputation to them."
"Just the land and women of Cochin?"
The middle-aged man asked in a daze.
Kou Ji glanced at him and said, "You have stayed in Jiaozhi for so long, so you don't know the virtues of Jiaozhi men."
When the middle-aged man heard this, the look on his face was very exciting, "They are all lazy. In our country, everyone would despise them. If they were beggars, they would probably starve to death."
Jiaochina is really a good place. The rice there can be harvested twice or three times a year.
People there can just throw a handful of rice seeds into the ground and harvest endless amounts of food without having to worry about it.
Such a good place is simply ruined by a bunch of lazy people standing around.
Sometimes when my subordinates see them being lazy, they want to chop them up with a knife."
Kou Ji spread his hands, "So... what do I want them to do? Leave their land for us, the people of the Song Dynasty, to cultivate, and leave their women to give birth to children for our people of the Song Dynasty who cannot afford wives. No."
Okay?"
"Okay! Great! I want to marry six of them!"
The middle-aged man said excitedly.
Kou Ji stared at him in astonishment, "I didn't expect you to be a womanizer!"
The middle-aged man's face turned red and he laughed and said: "I am not a lecherous person. I feel that the women in Jiaozhi are too capable. They do everything in the house.
If my subordinates marry six of them at once, they won’t have to work on their own anymore.”
"You also want to be a lazy guy?"
Kou Ji asked.
The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't dare to be a lazy man, otherwise the fellow villagers will point at my spine and scold me. I am looking for Jiaozhi women mainly to let them help take care of things at home. I want to devote myself wholeheartedly to the young master.
You run the errand."
"Pooh!"
Kou Ji took a breath and cursed: "It sounds nice to say it, but it can't hide your lustful heart. You just want to slander other people's bodies because they are well-behaved."
"I don't have any subordinates..."
"Get out of here..."
"Here!"
After Kou Ji dismissed the middle-aged man, he sat in the study and thought about it for a while, then wrote two letters.
One is for Chen Yaozi, and the other is for the cannibal.
In the letter to Chen Yaozi, he requested Chen Yaozi to lead the Yongzhou Forbidden Army and rush to the border areas of the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi to station themselves, so as to put some pressure on the Annan Army and the Great Cannibals, and also put some pressure on the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi.
Its purpose is to force the fighting in Cochin to intensify.
In the letter to the Great Cannibal, he just gave a brief greeting and reminded them that recruiting believers as soldiers in Jiaozhi did not violate the interests and laws of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, he asked them if they needed weapons.
armor.
With Gargamel's intelligence, after reading Kou Ji's letter, he will definitely understand what Kou Ji means.
Kouji was encouraging them to recruit their followers as soldiers and form an army during the missionary process, thereby reducing the consumption of Mamluks and increasing their capital for fighting against the Buddhist and Witch families.
The purpose of cannibalism is to proselytize.
For this purpose, they will definitely do things according to Kou Ji's wishes.
The cannibals develop believers as pawns, and the Annan army recruits tribesmen as pawns. The strength of both sides will continue to grow.
In order to deal with them, the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty could only continuously send troops and horses to fight. Once the original troops and horses were exhausted, they would recruit soldiers and horses from the civilian population.
The three parties are constantly consuming young men from Jiaozhi territory. Soon, all the young men in Jiaozhi territory will be consumed.
As long as there are old soldiers, child soldiers, or female soldiers on the battlefield.
Kou Ji can attack Jiaozhi.
When the time comes, we will drive away the remnants of the three-party struggle and plow the territory of Jiaozhi, and Jiaozhi will become what Kouji wanted.
As for whether the remaining three parties will act according to Kou Ji's wishes, Kou Ji is not worried at all.
By that time, if they don't do it, Kou Ji can send someone to pretend to be them.
Anyway, the three of them have tortured Jiaozhi into a state of disgrace, and if Kou Ji sends people to pretend that they have done many evil deeds, the people of Jiaozhi will not doubt it.
Kou Jiyao was thousands of miles away, making arrangements for the future of Jiaozhi.
He does not need to worry that the three parties will escape his control.
Because behind the three forces, there are three religions, two of which cannot accommodate other religions.
So their fight is destined to be endless.
With Chen Yaozi and Cao Liang leading heavy troops to correct the situation, they would not have any other choice but to follow Kou Ji's wishes.
"Perfect……"
After Kou Ji finished writing the letter, he stretched his waist and said with a faint smile.
…
Seven days later, one morning.
Kou Ji just arrived in the study.
Lu Ming hurriedly entered the study.
"Master, someone is coming from the palace."
"What happened?"
"I heard that an envoy from Jiaozhi has arrived in Bianjing City. He is now in the Chui Gong Hall, expressing his surrender to the officials, presenting a new tooth mat, and begging the officials to forgive Jiaozhi's previous crime of disrespect."
Kou Ji was startled, then he laughed and said, "It's what I expected. I told the maid to prepare the court clothes. I want to enter the palace."
"Here..."
Kou Ji came out of the study, was served by his maids, put on court clothes, and entered the palace in a carriage.
When we arrived at the gate of Chui Gong Hall, we heard the Jiaozhi envoy crying and begging Zhao Zhen for mercy.
As soon as Kou Ji entered the Chui Gong Hall, the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court fell on Kou Ji.
Kou Ji glanced at them and found that all of them had straight backs and looked superior to others.
Obviously, Jiaozhi's begging for mercy gave them an unprecedented sense of superiority.
There is also a feeling of being avenged and feeling proud.
After all, after Zhao Guangyi failed to send troops to conquer Jiaozhi, the Jiaozhi envoys were very arrogant after they arrived in the Song Dynasty.
From then on, when envoys from Jiaozhi arrived in the Song Dynasty, they often talked about the tragic defeat of the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses in Jiaozhi.
Although the Jiaozhi envoys did not dare to provoke the Song Dynasty too much, the arrogance on their faces always made the Song Dynasty feel uncomfortable.
Now, the Song Dynasty finally no longer has to look at the arrogant faces of Jiaozhi people.
When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw the Jiaozhi envoy crying bitterly in the Chui Gong Hall, they would naturally feel the pleasure of avenging their shame and feeling proud.
As for the sense of superiority, it comes from the strength shown by the Celestial State.
After the reform of the military system in the Song Dynasty, the imperial army was the strongest, followed by local soldiers and horses.
The Annan Army is a local army.
A group of local soldiers and horses beat Jiaozhi to the point of crying for father and mother. If the strongest imperial army is dispatched, will Jiaozhi still die?
The combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses has become so powerful and powerful.
As people from the Song Dynasty, how could they not develop a sense of superiority?
Kou Ji entered the Chui Gong Hall, and before he could salute Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Kou Ji, I ask you, before Jiaozhi neglected me, I issued an edict to reprimand him, and the dispatch of troops was just a joke.
Why did you send the Annan Army into Cochin and commit such atrocities?
If the envoy from Cochin had not told me about this matter, I would not have known that you had done such a ridiculous thing behind my back.
Jiaozhi is our vassal and ally of the Song Dynasty.
You must give me an explanation and give Jiaozhi an explanation."
When Kou Ji heard this, he immediately put on a bitter face and said, "Guan family, I am wronged. I know that Jiaozhi is a vassal and ally of our Song Dynasty. How could I send troops to offend Jiaozhi?"
Besides, the Annan Army is a local army and is under the control of the Ministry of War.
As a privy envoy, I am in charge of the imperial army, and I cannot mobilize local troops."
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he snorted coldly and looked at Li Zhaoliang, "Li Zhaoliang, you are in charge of the Ministry of War. The Annan Army is under the control of your Ministry of War. How do you explain this?"
Li Zhaoliang had long been offended by Zhao Zhen, so when Zhao Zhen asked about the matter, he went out to report: "The officials and the ministers were wronged. The Annan Army was originally part of the Forbidden Army, but because it refused to obey the rules, it was established as a separate army and returned to Li Zhaoliang.
Went to the Ministry of War.
It's just that the Annan Army couldn't stand not only the control of the Forbidden Army, but also the hardship of the local soldiers and horses.
So when they changed their military status, they fled the Song Dynasty.
They entered Jiaozhi without the permission of the ministers.
They are no longer our soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Even so, why didn't you report it earlier?"
Li Zhaoliang was stunned and said: "Half of the Annan Army's military status has not been changed, and half of them are still affiliated with the Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army is under the control of the Privy Council. I can't control it, and I don't dare to exceed my authority."
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji, who repeated Li Zhaoliang's original words by changing a few words.
One of them did not report because half of Annan's army was from the imperial army, and the other did not report because half of Annan's army was from local soldiers.
Then, no one informed the court about this.
Ninety-nine percent of the civil and military officials in the court were stunned by the two of them.
Only some insiders twitched the corners of their mouths to see them acting.
After Zhao Zhen listened to what they said, he snorted and shouted: "You're confused! Treason by soldiers and horses is a big deal. You actually knew it and didn't report it. You will be fined for one year."
"Here..."
Kou Ji and Li Zhaoliang agreed and stepped aside.
Zhao Zhen stared at the Jiaozhi envoy with a sad face and said: "You also heard that the Annan army entered Jiaozhi not because of my intention. It was because they betrayed the Song Dynasty and fled to Jiaozhi.
I am deeply saddened by their invasion of Cochin."
The Jiaozhi envoy had no intention of distinguishing the truth of this statement. When Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he cried to Zhao Zhen: "Please make the decision, Your Majesty the Emperor..."
Zhao Zhen nodded solemnly and said: "Kou Ji, look at how to deal with this matter."
Kou Ji pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "Guan family, the Annan Army is a rebel army, and the court naturally needs to wipe it out. I think that we should dispatch the local Yongzitou Forbidden Army in Yongzhou to return to the Zhennan Navy in Nanhai Sea.
, the two imperial troops, together with the local soldiers on Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road, went to Jiaozhi to annihilate them."
Zhao Zhen asked in a deep voice: "Approximately how many soldiers and horses are there?"
Kou Jizheng said seriously: "If all the soldiers and horses from Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road are summoned to go out together, we can roughly estimate that there will be 180,000."
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he looked thoughtful.
When the Cochin envoy heard this, he trembled all over.
Annan's army only numbered 20,000 to 30,000 people.
After entering Jiaozhi, I will have a splitting headache.
During the Song Dynasty, 180,000 soldiers and horses entered Jiaozhi. Can the King of Jiaozhi survive?
If he agrees to this, what's the difference between luring a tiger into the house?
"No! No need!"
The envoy from Cochin stumbled and refused.
Zhao Zhen frowned slightly.
The Jiaozhi envoy thought that Zhao Zhen was displeased and hurriedly said: "Since the Annan Army has betrayed the Celestial Empire, it is no longer a soldier of the Celestial Empire. The Annan Army's invasion of our Jiaozhi is the responsibility of the Annan Army. This matter has nothing to do with the Celestial Empire."
Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "Although that is the case, after all, it was my ministers' momentary negligence that caused such a disaster. I can't just watch.
Moreover, the Annan Army, as soldiers of our Song Dynasty, brazenly rebelled against our Song Dynasty, and they did not take me seriously. It is necessary for me to teach them a lesson to set their sights straight."
"No... no need... really no need..."
The Jiaozhi envoy was a little panicked and waved his hands repeatedly.
His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of countermeasures.
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to find ways to prevent the Song Dynasty's 180,000 troops from entering Jiaozhi.
In fact, he had no idea that the 180,000 that Kou Ji mentioned was just an exaggerated number.
The Yongzitou Forbidden Army has a full strength of 50,000 people, while the Zhenzitou Forbidden Army has only just exceeded 10,000.
As for the local troops and horses, only more than 30,000 people can be mobilized.
After all the attacks, the number would be less than 100,000.
The Jiaozhi envoy thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Shangbang, the Annan army invaded our Jiaozhi. Since it has nothing to do with Shangbang, there is no need for Shangbang to take action.
As a vassal of Shangbang, I, Jiaozhi, should contribute to Shangbang.
After the foreign minister returns to the court, he will report this matter to my king and ask my king to send a large army to destroy him and send his head to Bianjing City to relieve the hatred in the heart of the emperor."
Zhao Zhen said displeasedly: "I am the lord of the superior state, how can I use the hands of my vassals to punish the rebels? It damages my majesty!"
The envoy from Jiaozhi said without hesitation: "This is what I, Jiaozhi, should do. I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will have mercy and give me, Jiaozhi, an opportunity to be loyal to you."
Zhao Zhen looked thoughtful. After a long time, he sighed and said: "For the sake of Jiaozhi's loyalty, I will leave this matter to the king of Jiaozhi for the time being.
If the King of Jiaozhi does not handle it properly, I will still send a large army into Jiaozhi to wipe out the rebels.
When the time comes, I will also ask the Prince of Jiaozhi about his crime."
The Jiaozhi envoy hurriedly said: "My king will definitely handle this matter properly."
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and told Kou Ji: "For the sake of the King of Jiaozhi County's loyalty, I will give some soldiers and armor to the King of Jiaozhi County, which can be considered as my contribution to the suppression of the rebels."
Kou Ji cupped his hands and said, "I wonder how much the officials plan to give?"
Zhao Zhen thought about it and said, "Ten thousand each for leather armor and cloth armor."
When the Cochin envoy heard this, the panic in his heart disappeared, but he felt a little more happy.
After all, the armor of Jiaozhi was not as sophisticated as that of the Song Dynasty.
He looked down upon the Song Dynasty's cloth armor.
But Da Song’s leather armor is definitely a good thing.
It would be even better if we could take advantage of the situation and ask for some more weapons.
Now is the time for troops to be deployed in Jiaozhi, and they are short of soldiers and armor.
However, it didn't take long for the Jiaozhi envoy to feel joy before he was pushed down by Kou Ji.
Kou Ji held up his hands to Zhao Zhen and said, "Guan Jia, I wonder if you plan to give the leather armor worn by the Japanese army for daily training to Jiaozhi or the Tianwu Army?"
Zhao Zhen glared and said: "How can you give me the leather armor that the Japanese army and the Tianwu Army wear for daily training? Is there no armor in the arsenal?"
"There are...but not many..."
"How many?"
"one thousand……"
Zhao Zhen said in shock: "Only a thousand armors?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "The Song Dynasty has reorganized its military system, and most of the leather and cloth armors have been given to the expanded local troops."
"Just take some weapons. You can't let the loyalty of King Jiaozhi go to waste..."
"The same goes for weapons."
"Bang!"
Zhao Zhen slapped the table and stood up, "I am a mighty Song Dynasty, but I can't afford 10,000 leather armors?! This is unreasonable!"
Zhao Zhen roared angrily, shook his sleeves, and left Chui Gong Hall angrily.
All civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty saluted him.
"I will respectfully send you off to the official family..."
The Cochin envoy's eyes widened and he didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him.
Lu Yijian and the others glanced at Kou Ji, shouted to disperse, and led the civil and military officials of the court out of the Chui Gong Hall, leaving Kou Ji and the Jiaozhi envoy in the hall.
The Jiaozhi envoy was confused.
Kou Ji approached the Jiaozhi envoy and said, "When do you have time to follow me to the military armory to get those thousand sets of leather armor?"
"His Majesty the Emperor clearly said..."
The envoy from Cochin said solemnly.
He was interrupted mid-sentence.
Kou Ji said calmly: "The officials have promised so much, so we have to have it? We can't let our soldiers in the army take off their commonly used armor and give it to you, right?"
Speaking of this, Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the Jiaozhi envoy and said, "I dare to let my brothers pull it out, do you dare to take it?"
Kou Ji's voice was cold.
The Cochin envoy trembled when he heard this.
Scared.
Kou Ji's reputation is now spread not only in the Song Dynasty, but also in other places.
The Jiaozhi envoy was someone who knew Kou Ji's resume and knew that Kou Ji was a great killer.
We also know that Kou Ji had great influence in the Song Dynasty.
If he really offended Kou Ji and was targeted by Kou Ji, he would not be able to sleep peacefully.
The Cochin envoy shook his head stiffly.
Kou Ji suddenly showed a smile and said, "I'm not a ferocious beast, so you don't have to be so afraid of me. Not only do you not have to be afraid of me, but you should also thank me?"
The Jiaozhi envoy looked at Kou Ji doubtfully.
Kou Ji coughed slightly and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a place to talk."
After saying this, without waiting for the Jiaozhi envoy to agree, Kou Ji stepped out of the Chui Gong Hall.
The Jiaozhi envoy didn't know what kind of medicine Kou Ji was selling in his gourd, so he could only grit his teeth and follow Kou Ji out of the Chui Gong Hall.
We walked all the way out of the palace, found a secluded restaurant outside the palace, asked for a private room, and sat in.
After sitting down, Kou Ji said straight to the point: "Although the imperial court's armor depot does not have enough armor, if you need it, I can still provide you with some armor."
The Jiaozhi envoy stared at Kou Ji blankly.
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "You don't have to look at me like that. You saw it in the Chui Gong Hall just now. I just underreported something, so the officials fined me a year's salary."
Without a salary, how can I support my large family?
I can only turn away my armor."
The Jiaozhi envoy stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "As far as the foreign ministers know, you are a famous and wealthy man in the Song Dynasty."
Kou Ji sighed: "You only know one thing, but not the other. If the people say that I am rich, then I am really rich? You know, the people regard me as the God of Wealth."
You know the God of Wealth, right?"
The Cochin envoy nodded solemnly.
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "It seems that you know the customs and customs of the Song Dynasty very well?"
The envoy from Jiaozhi said: "The foreign minister has followed the Song people since he was a child and learned the culture of the Song Dynasty. He learned some of the customs and customs of the Song Dynasty from their mouths. In addition, the foreign minister went to the Song Dynasty twice as an envoy, and he also learned a lot among the people."
"In that case, I don't need to talk too much nonsense to you. I'll tell you straight to the point. Since you know the customs and customs of the Song Dynasty, you should understand how dangerous a person who controls the world's soldiers and horses is.
How dangerous is a person who controls the world's troops and a huge amount of money.
Emperors of all dynasties would never allow a man with huge wealth to take charge of the army.
And now that I am still alive and in control of the military, it means that I have no money.
To be honest, from the time I became an official until now, all the wealth I have collected has gone into the official treasury.
Others think that I have a good way of making money and am worth millions.
In fact, they had no idea that I was helping the officials make money.
I believe that in Jiaozhi, there are also people who help the King of Jiaozhi make money, right?
