One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 182 Capture of Jeju Island (3)

Li Xin was a little shocked when he heard this. This young man's official position was not small, but he was very interested in this young man's name, because Li Xin thought of a person, that is the famous North Korean politician, writer, and historian Jin Fu. Shi.

Li Xin tried to ask: "What is your relationship with Jin Fushi?"

Jin Fuzhe replied: "That's my brother. I want to ask if you are from Song Dynasty."

Li Xin nodded and said: "We are indeed from the Song Dynasty, but we are not controlled by the Song Dynasty court. You should have seen the flags of the fleet outside. To be more precise, we are pirates. Tell us, your brother What is your current position in Korea?"

Jin Fuzhe stuttered a bit: "My brother currently lives in Yousijian, Zhongshushe, Goryeo."

Li Xin continued to ask: "Your brother has been to the Song Dynasty"

Jin Fuzhe said with some pride: "Xiaguan is a descendant of the Silla royal family. When Xiaguan's great-grandfather surrendered to Goryeo in Silla, he was appointed as the governor of Gyeongju by the Goryeo Dynasty. His father, Guanzhi, offered wine to the king and advised the officials on the left. , had been sent to the Song Dynasty as an envoy, and Xiaguan's brother had also been to the Song Dynasty as an envoy four years ago.

Li Xin nodded and said, "Well, Lord Jin, can you tell me about the situation on this island?"

Kim Fu-cheol said: "This island is called Tamna Island, and I wish it to be the Tamna Kingdom. Tamna Kingdom has been our vassal of Korea for generations. Seventeen years ago, the late emperor felt that the people of Tamna Kingdom lived in poverty, so he transferred Tamna Island to Incorporated into our territory of Goryeo, it is now Tamna County under our rule of Goryeo. There are more than households on the island and a population of . Regarding the garrison on the island, my companion Li Jishen told the truth. "

Li Xin snorted coldly: "Just say annexation, don't say it in such a high-sounding way. Since you, Korea, can annex you, so can I. From now on, this island will belong to you, and Mr. Jin can't let you go for the time being." When you return to Korea, you can stay here with peace of mind. I will not treat you badly. When I find a suitable opportunity in the future, I will let you go back to Korea. Someone, please take Mr. Jin down and take care of him."

Li Xin didn't wait for Jin Fuzhe to speak, and asked someone to take Jin Fuzhe down.

After Jin Fuzhe was taken away, Yu Liyan beside Li Xin said: "Husband, I think you seem to think highly of this person. This person is just a fourth-grade official."

Li Xin explained: "Yes, I value him because of the influence of his brother and the family behind him in Goryeo. As you just heard, their family is descended from the Silla royal family, and their family is a high-ranking official in Goryeo. I also heard that when his father Jin Jin was on a mission to the Song Dynasty, the poems and essays of his fellow traveler Pu Yinliang were published as Xiaohua Collection and circulated in the Song Dynasty, which gave Goryeo the reputation of "Little China", which shows the influence of his family in Goryeo. With such great power, I will definitely have contacts with Goryeo after I regain Yanyun and Liaodong. Then I will need such a person to bridge the gap.

Yu Liyan said thoughtfully: "So that's it."

An hour later, Zhang Rong reported to Li Xinhui: "My lord, General Zhai has completely taken control of the city, killed more than fifty enemies who resisted, and captured all the rest. Only a few of our troops were slightly injured. "

Li Xin said: "Well, you did a good job."

Zhang Rong continued: "We also discovered a situation in the city. There are only women and children in the city, but no young adults."

Li Xin was surprised and said: "This is serious."

Zhang Rong nodded and said: "Yes, Lord, I have sent someone to confirm it again."

Li Xin said with a cold face: "Go and bring the Korean who led you to someone."

Zhang Rong cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

Soon a flattering Korean was brought in, and Li Xin asked: "Li Jishen, although you are Korean, you and I are both surnamed Li, so we can be considered the same family. Why are there only women and children on Tamluo Island but no young adults?"

Li Jishen replied: "Chief, the young people on this island have been moved to Korea during the reign of the late emperor more than ten years ago. Only women and children are left on the island."

Li Xin was surprised and said: "There is actually something like this."

Li Jishen said cautiously: "Yes, leader, originally the late emperor planned to move some Korean men to Tamluo Island, but he passed away before he could become the late emperor. After the late emperor passed away, what happened that year after the prince succeeded to the throne Due to the severe drought, the officials believed that this was God’s dissatisfaction with the late emperor’s annexation of Tamna, so the current emperor adopted the opinions of the officials and temporarily put aside the issue of immigrating to Tamna Island.”

Li Xin then asked: "What happened next?"

Li Jishen continued: "From then on, until now, this time, Xianguan and Mr. Jin came here to inspect the development under the emperor's order. The emperor will decide whether to open the immigration delay based on our inspection results. Luo Dao’s operation, we just didn’t expect that the leader would capture it before we even inspected it.”

Li Xin asked again: "What is the relationship between the defenders on this island and the people of Tamluo?"

Li Jishen replied: "I heard that the county guard and the garrison have caused harm to the Tamluo people on the island in recent years."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, everyone knows. Zhang Rong, tomorrow we will hold a public trial in the city on the island. Pull out all the Korean soldiers we captured, so that those Tamluo people can take revenge and complain."

Zhang Rong replied: "Yes, my lord."

Li Xin continued: "You will tell the Tamluo people about this in a moment, ask Li Jishen to be your interpreter, and tell the Tamluo people that we will allocate land and food to them, but not here but somewhere else." , this place will become a battlefield in the future, let them know that they can only live a good life if they follow us."

Zhang Rong cupped his fists and said, "Yes, my lord, I will finally get your order."

After Zhang Rong took Li Jishen away, Yu Liyan asked: "Husband, don't you want those Korean captives to go mining? If you leave them to the Tamluo people, they can still live."

Li Xin replied: "Compared with these hundreds of Korean captives, I care more about the more than women and children. There are also some bachelors and men of marriageable age on Xinghan Island. With this group of Tamluo women, we can solve our problem." Many problems can also be solved to better integrate these women and children into Xinghan Island."

Yu Liyan said thoughtfully: "So that's it."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, besides, just watch, madam. As long as Jeju Island is in my hands, there will be more Korean prisoners in the future."

Yu Liyan said: "I believe that the Koreans will find out sooner or later that my husband has occupied Jeju Island, and they will definitely send troops to attack. By then, my husband will have more Korean prisoners."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Madam is right, let's go and see the city."

Li Xin took Yu Liyan to the city on the island. Yu Liyan looked at it while walking: "The scenery on this island is also very beautiful."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, this island is not only beautiful in scenery, but the specialty citrus on the island is also delicious and sweet, and there are also horses."
