“A few days ago, my uncle was also beheaded by this gang of bandits.”
"He is the prefect of Yizhou Prefecture."
"These Liangshan bandits are no ordinary thieves; they were able to breach a prefecture-level city."
"That's because Gao Feng is incompetent!"
Tong Guan snorted coldly.
"They were tricked out of the city by a band of bandits, resulting in more than half of the government troops being ambushed,"
"It's common for idiots like this to lose their heads."
"hehe,"
Gao Kan smiled slightly.
Tong Guan's insults towards Gao Fengde
He didn't seem to care much.
This fellow is Gao Qiu's adopted son.
With the original members of the Gao family,
They weren't close to each other to begin with.
Regarding Gao Feng's death,
Most of them felt ashamed.
There wasn't much anger in my heart.
"What does Privy Councilor Yi Tong mean?"
Cai Jing looked at Tong Guan.
"Are you not planning to conscript troops from other regions?"
"Grand Tutor, they are just a few bandits; why transfer imperial guards from other places?"
Tong Guan said confidently,
"The prefect of Jeju, Cheng Wanli, is one of my retainers,"
"Under his command was a military commander named Dong Pingde, the Double-Spear General."
"This man was originally a border general in Hebei, and his martial prowess was exceptional."
"Back when I was in Hebei, I made many meritorious contributions."
"When Cheng Wanli went to Shandong to take up his post, I thought that there were many bandits in Shandong, so I transferred this man to his command!"
"The Liangshan Marsh is located right next to Jizhou."
"I will write a letter later, asking Cheng Wanli to cooperate with Dong Ping and send troops to wipe out Liangshan."
"If we can truly resolve the Liangshan problem without mobilizing troops from other regions, that would be quite good,"
Cai Jing nodded slightly.
He was the prime minister of the Song court.
Regarding the situation of the court,
Naturally, they knew it all too well.
The current court,
To build Wansui Mountain for Emperor Zhao Ji,
There was also a garden above it for his enjoyment.
They've almost emptied the national treasury of the Ministry of Revenue.
If troops from various regions were mobilized to Shandong at this time...
This is clearly another large expense.
But if it's because of these trivial matters...
It will affect the construction of Wansui Mountain.
Emperor Huizong will surely blame them then.
That would be a loss rather than a gain.
"In that case, we will follow Privy Councilor Tong's wishes and trouble you with this matter."
"Grand Tutor, just wait and hear the good news,"
Tong Guan laughed heartily.
After separating from Gao Qiu and Cai Jing,
He immediately wrote a letter himself.
He sent the letter to Jizhou, Shandong, through his trusted subordinates.
......
Jeju Dongpyeong Prefecture,
Prefect Cheng Wanli received this letter from Tong Guande.
I initially thought that this Privy Councilor Tong was going to try to seize things by trickery or force again.
He was instructed to send the silver to Tokyo.
Speaking of which,
Although Cheng Wanli was a retainer of Tong Guan,
But he is also a capable person.
Since taking office in Dongpyeong Prefecture, Jeju Island,
This also brought the local area to a very good level of order.
The common people,
Not to mention living and working in peace and contentment,
At the very least, they will have no worries about food and clothing.
Compared to other state capitals,
They are all much stronger.
Because of this,
Liangshan rarely went to Jeju Island.
Neither side committed any offense against the other.
What has been giving Cheng Wanli a constant headache is...
It was his benefactor, Tong Guan.
They frequently send letters asking for money.
Cheng Wanli was also helpless about this.
Each time Tong Guan wrote a letter,
He could only turn to wealthy and powerful families in Jeju.
"Borrow" some from them.
To complete the task assigned by Tong Guan.
Another letter has arrived from Tokyo.
Cheng Wanli subconsciously thought that...
It was Tong Guan again demanding money from him.
I don't want to open the envelope and see...
He was immediately stunned on the spot...
Chapter 622 Wan'er is worried
"What's wrong, Father?"
Cheng Wan'er entered the study.
Then I saw my father standing by the desk with a letter in his hand.
His face was immediately filled with confusion.
"But then that Privy Councilor Tong wrote again, putting Father in a difficult position?"
“That’s right, but this time it’s not just any ordinary trouble,”
Cheng Wanli sighed.
"This Tong Enxiang, he... he actually wants me to cooperate with Dong Ping to wipe out Liangshan?"
"What? This....."
Cheng Wan'er was immediately filled with horror.
"Father, Liangshan is now a powerful and well-equipped force, especially in our Jizhou province. Can we possibly defeat them?"
"Furthermore, Liangshan has also done a favor for my daughter,"
How can we make things difficult for them?
previously,
When an epidemic broke out in various parts of Shandong
Cheng Wanli's only daughter also refused to believe that she had contracted the plague.
At that time, the entire Shandong province
Only the Liangshan Marsh has the ability to cure this plague.
Although Cheng Wanli knew that with his status,
They should be irreconcilable enemies with Liangshan.
But out of love for his daughter,
It's better to change the name and surname of your daughter, Cheng Wan'er.
He secretly went to Liangshan Marsh for medical treatment.
And this journey,
It took more than two months,
When Cheng Wan'er returned,
She had contracted the plague, but Liangshan cured her.
Cheng Wan'er also brought back news that surprised Cheng Wanli.
It turns out that Liangshan already knew Cheng Wan'er's true identity.
However, he did not use this to threaten the governor of Jeju.
On the contrary, they treat them the same as ordinary people.
They still managed to cure Cheng Wan'er's disease.
Although Cheng Wan'er is a woman
But he was taught by his father from a young age.
But she was also a woman with broadened horizons.
She stayed on Liangshan Mountain for two months.
Although the secrets and important parts of the marshland are not visible.
