Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ww.x.om Although Li Min is very resentful towards this small country in later generations, in this life, Silla and Baekje will be in his pocket, and the population resources are also an important reason why he likes this place. If he let  If too many people died in Silla due to a famine, then the place would be worthless.  However, there is no free lunch in this world. If the people of Silla want to eat, they have to pay a corresponding price. And if this famine is used well, their plan to control Silla will be smoother.

    Thinking of this, Li Min smiled at Jin Shengman and said: "Don't worry, as long as Silla is successfully handed over to me, then the people of Silla now will be my king's subjects, and I will never watch helplessly.  They¡¯re starving to death!¡±

    Hearing Li Min's assurance, Jin Shengman finally breathed a sigh of relief, but just when she was about to say some words of thanks, she heard Li Min continue: "But I have always believed that hard work will reward you, so no matter who it is,  , if you want to get food to survive from me, you have to put in a certain amount of labor!"

    "What do you want?" Jin Shengman asked uneasily. Although what Li Min said seemed to make sense, she knew that her nominal husband was not a good person. Not only was he the most favored person in the Tang Dynasty,  The prince Ai is also the largest slave trader in the Tang Dynasty. Many people in Silla were captured and sold as slaves by Li Min's slave-catching team, so what Jin Shengman is most worried about is that Li Min is controlling Silla.  Later, they allowed their slave-catching teams to capture slaves in Silla. If that situation happened, it would undoubtedly be the destruction of their country and their species in Silla.

    "Don't worry, I won't do anything to Silla. It's just that I have some huge projects to do, so I need some manpower, so I will ask people to recruit workers in Silla. Although the wages are not much, I am absolutely free.  , I will definitely not let them be slaves." Li Min said with a smile, and he also saw Jin Shengman's concerns.

    Li Min is obviously not as vicious as Jin Shengman thinks. It's not that he doesn't want to demote the Silla people Jindu into slaves. The key is that if he really does this, I'm afraid it will cause the Silla people to resist to the death.  In this case, his previous purpose of marrying Jin Shengman would be completely defeated. After all, if chaos breaks out in Silla, not only will he spend a lot of effort to quell the chaos, but it will also delay his progress. This will not be worth the gain.  He would never do it.

    "Is it really just work?" Jin Shengman was still a little worried. It would be okay if it was really about working for food, but he was afraid that one of them would be recruited away.  But she was demoted to a slave by Li Min, and she was powerless by then.

    "It's up to you whether you believe it or not!" Li Min said angrily.  He is a man of integrity, which is well known in the Tang Dynasty business community. Unexpectedly, he was suspected by Jin Shengman today.

    Seeing that Li Min was angry, Jin Shengman did not dare to ask any more questions, so he had to force himself to believe what he said.

    After another two days, the road was finally opened. Li Min and the others set out on the road again, but in Kinmen City, Li Min left three thousand soldiers and horses to guard it.  After all, this is the gateway to Jincheng, and its geographical location is very important, so Li Min needs to control this city in his own hands.

    Jincheng is not far from Kinmen City. It only took Li Min and the others two days to reach Jincheng, and this was because the snow on the road had not been cleared, which affected their speed. If the road conditions were good.  It is estimated that it will take at least a day and a half to arrive.

    Jincheng was already in sight. Li Min looked forward from the carriage and found that Jincheng was indeed the capital of Silla. The city walls were very strong and tall.  Although it cannot be compared with cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, it can be compared with large cities like the Tang Dynasty. It is not easy for a small country like Silla to build such a city.

    At this time, Jin Shengman also introduced: "Jincheng is the origin of our Silla. After improvement by the ancestors of the past kings, it has now become the largest city in our Silla. It is only smaller than Pyongyang City. It can be said that it is the largest city in Silla."  The second largest city on the peninsula!¡±

    When Jin Shengman said this, a look of pride appeared on his face, and he was obviously proud of his country's capital.  But at this time, Li Min struck unceremoniously: "Is this considered a big city? It's not like you haven't seen us in Dengzhou, so that's what we call a big city, right? And if compared with our Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, your Jincheng  It¡¯s almost like a thatched hut.¡±

    Upon hearing Li Min's words, Jin Shengman immediately showed a look of dejection. When she was young, she always thought that Jincheng was the largest city in the world. However, after she went to Pyongyang with her cousin last time, she found that Pyongyang was bigger than Jincheng.  Much bigger, and later she went to Dengzhou, and found that the city was several times more prosperous and lively than Pyongyang. As for Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it was said that it was a bigger city than Dengzhou, which simply made her  I can¡¯t imagine, what kind of city is that?

    "Hehe, it seems that Mr. Jin has not been to Chang'an yet. When there is a chance in the future, you will go to Chang'an with His Highness. Then I will take Mr. Jin around and taste the delicious food of Chang'an."??Appreciate the beautiful scenery of Chang'an, you will definitely be surprised!  "At this time Wen'er also said, Jin Shengman has been in poor health for the past two days, and Wen'er has been taking care of her, so the two of them are very familiar with each other.

    "Oh, that's great. I have always heard that Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is the greatest city in the world, but I have never had the opportunity to go there. If I could visit it in person, it would be a great pleasure in life. Then I can  We're going to have Lao Wen'er!" Jin Shengman said with a smile when she heard this. She knew that Wen'er was very valued by Li Min and that he could help her with some things, so she deliberately made friends with Wen'er. This made  The relationship between the two is excellent.

    Seeing that the two women actually brought the topic to Chang'an, Li Min hurriedly interrupted them and asked Jin Shengman somewhat solemnly: "How many people are there in Jincheng now? If I want to control Jincheng, who will jump out?  "

    Hearing Li Min ask these questions, Wen'er stepped down to serve tea very wisely, while Jin Shengman thought about it before saying: "Although Jincheng is the capital of our country, it is located in the rear area after all, and there is no possibility of Baekje attacking."  In addition, due to the urgency of the war on the front line, most of Jincheng's guard troops have been transferred away. Now there are only 6,000 old and weak people stationed in the city, and half of these old and weak people are in my hands, and the other half are under my control.  It is in the hands of Jin Gengxin."

    "Jin Gengxin!" Li Min frowned when he heard this name. According to Jin Shengman, one of the main messengers behind the assassination of her in Kinmen City was probably Jin Gengxin. This was mainly because the other person had an affair with Jin Chunqiu.  is extremely close, and among all the royal families, Jin Chunqiu is the one who poses the greatest threat to Jin Shengman's throne, so the other party has enough reasons to assassinate her and clear the obstacles for Jin Chunqiu to ascend the throne.

    "There are only three thousand soldiers and horses. If he dares to make any move, I don't mind killing chickens to scare monkeys!" Li Min said with some disdain. Although he knew that Jin Gengxin was indeed a talented leader, but no matter how talented he was, what could he do?  In this way, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and trick are useless.

    However, Jin Shengman was not as confident as Li Min. Instead, he said with a solemn face: "Your Highness, please do not underestimate Jin Gengxin. In addition to Jincheng's three thousand soldiers and horses, he also has an elite force in his hands. Otherwise, I will also  I won¡¯t be so afraid of him.¡±

    Although Jin Shengman's impression of Li Min has not improved, the two are now in an alliance, so she needs to explain clearly some domestic situations, otherwise it will not be a good thing for her if Li Min suffers.

    "Oh? No wonder it is so. How strong is the power in his hand?" Li Min asked with some interest. Although he had absolute confidence, as the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy, and never underestimate your opponent at any time.

    Jin Shengman said solemnly: "Jin Gengxin is the national immortal of our country. He is in charge of all the power of Hua Daolang. After his integration, this power has an amazing combat effectiveness. When we were attacked by Baekje, Jin Gengxin  It was with this strength that Geng Xin was able to save the defeat in one fell swoop and push Baekje back!"

    Li Min slapped his head when he heard this. If Jin Shengman hadn't reminded him, he would have almost deceived this information. In the information Wu Meiniang gave him, the information about Jin Gengxin had specifically mentioned this.

    The so-called Huadolang is actually a non-governmental organization in Silla. It is the predecessor of the ancient Korean martial arts and Taekwondo. Many Silla soldiers and young people are members of this organization, and their leader is called Guo  Immortal, Kim Kyung-shin was not only a talented leader in fighting, but also extremely outstanding in personal martial arts. He became the leader of Huadorang in his early years. After he became the number one person in the Silla military, he selected the best among the Flowerdorangs, and then  Integrate them to become an ace force in his hands.

    "Hua Daolang, this is a problem. I heard that there are five thousand of them. Not only are they strong in personal quality, but their overall combat effectiveness is also good. If we fight hard, I will probably suffer some losses!" Li Min said to himself in a heavy tone.  Said.

    He is not afraid of Hua Daolang, but he is worried that if the opponent fights to the death, some of his soldiers will suffer casualties, which will cost money, and among the 15,000 people he brought from Dengzhou  , all formed by the integration of slave-catching teams, and their combat effectiveness is indeed there, but compared with the regular troops of the Tang Dynasty, there is still a gap. In addition, these are the seeds in his own hands. Li Min does not want to suffer the consequences of his first attack.  Too much loss.

    However, Jin Shengman sighed and corrected him: "Your Highness is wrong, it is not five thousand, but three thousand. In the last battle with Baekje, Hua Daorang also suffered huge losses, and a full two thousand people fell on the battlefield.  superior."

    Speaking of this, Jin Shengman sighed in her heart. She was personally very grateful to Hua Daorang, because he was a hero who defended the country, but now she had to become their enemy, because with Silla's existing  Strength can't stop Li Min's attack at all

    When Li Min heard that there were only 3,000 Hua Daolang left, he ignored Jin Shengman's angry gaze and raised his head and laughed. How could a mere 3,000 Hua Daolang still be able to stop his 20,000 army?

    "It's a pity that just when Li Min was about to enter Jincheng with his army, he didn't expect to encounter another trouble, not too big or too small.
