Eight Hundred and Sixtieth Chapters Painting Cake
"The Liao Kingdom is addicted to pleasure, its military strength is declining day by day, and there are years of coins that can gain many benefits without fighting, so naturally it will not attack the Song Dynasty; on the other hand, the Kingdom of Jin has just risen, and it is a time of great ambition; allied with Jin to attack Liao It’s all good, the Kingdom of Jin is afraid of the might of the Song Dynasty’s army and dare not go south; but the Daoist thinks, can the Song’s army really do this?”
My Great Song's army can't even defeat these grassroots bandits in Liangshan, let alone the army of the Kingdom of Jin? Now that the Song Dynasty has been repeated several times, only the Western Army can still fight, but they are still struggling to face the army of the Jin Dynasty. In addition, the civil servants of my Song Dynasty are holding back, and the shame of Jingkang has become inevitable. Song Jiang is now calling for peace. It's really not a good choice.
Gongsun Sheng didn't know much about the affairs of Jin and Liao, but seeing Shen Long's seriousness, he also believed it a little. He was already considering whether to inquire about the news. If it was true, he would have to reconsider the matter of recruiting security. "If you don't want to recruit, what's Lu Yuanwai's plan?"
"Foreigners have invaded China. As a citizen of China, Lu must do his best to resist foreign enemies in order to save the Central Plains from suffering." Seeing that Gongsun Sheng was suspicious again, Shen Long continued, "However, it is not right for the Song Dynasty to win the country. The five generations of warriors were in chaos, so they were more wary of generals, and the traitors in the court were in power. Even if we recruited and surrendered, our military strength in Liangshan would only weaken day by day, and even if Lu had a heart, I am afraid that he would be powerless." The civil servants are holding back, so it's no wonder they can win the fight.
Gongsun Sheng nodded slightly. Chai Jin was still on the mountain. The Zhao family bullied the orphans and widows. Chai Jin still refuses to forgive him. It’s just that he is not good at means, and although he has a wide network, he has not recruited any talents, but then again Well, if Chai Jin really had the ability, he might not be alive now.
"However, Liangshan has alarmed the imperial court. If we don't call for security, I'm afraid it will be difficult to settle down." Gongsun Sheng said.
"That's true." Shen Long agreed, "But now there are Tianhu from Hebei, Fangla from Jiangnan, and Wang Qing from Huaixi in the Song Dynasty, and they will attack Liao with the Kingdom of Jin in the north. As long as Liangshan doesn't become the leader, the court will It won’t be taken too seriously.”
Shen Long took out a map, which he drew himself based on historical maps. Except for the Song Dynasty, Liao, Jin, Xixia, Koryo, and Wa were all on it. The ones in the Great Song Palace are even more detailed, Shen Long pointed to the map and said to Gongsun Sheng.
"Master Daoist, this is Liangshan, the water park." Then he pointed to the east, "Dengzhou is to the east of Liangshan. Tamna Kingdom has been annexed by Goryeo, and Tamna County was established; this island is thousands of miles wide, enough to accommodate me up and down Mount Liang."
"Now there are not many people on the island. I can easily take Liangshan. When Liangshan and Tamluo become one, I can help the Central Plains resist the Jurchens when I advance, and I can follow the example of the bearded man to establish a country overseas. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable than Zhao'an?" Fan novels of "Water Margin" all set their sights on this site, and Shen Long certainly wouldn't let it go.

Hearing that Shen Long was so familiar with the situation in the world, Gongsun Sheng couldn't help being startled. Could it be that Lu Junyi had already had the world in his heart? But in this case, how could he be easily deceived by Wu Yong to go to Liangshan?
"Even if you want to recruit security, you still have to be oppressed by treacherous ministers such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan. How can we be happy with our brothers coming overseas?" Seeing that Gongsun Sheng was moved, Shen Long added fuel to his anger.
"However, going to Tamra is far away across the ocean, and there are no ships, charts, or sailors who are familiar with the route. I'm afraid it's not easy, right?" Gongsun Sheng has already begun to consider the maneuverability.
"There are sea charts, and there are blueprints for sea ships. As for the sailors, Hunjianglong Li Jun has already been tempted." Shen Long didn't just waste time on the mountain during this time, he also contacted some good guys. To be the king of Siam, it is much farther from Liangshan to Siam than to Tamla Island.
Coupled with the advanced navigation tools, detailed nautical charts, and more advanced blueprints of seagoing ships, it is absolutely no problem to win Tamna Island.
He doesn't even have to worry that they won't be able to build seagoing ships, see nautical charts, and use navigation tools. These are all good things left behind to help Wang Anshi realize his wish last time, and they are completely in line with Da Song's technical level and cognition.
On Mount Liang, there are mengkang of Yufangan who is good at building large and small ships, Hou Jian who is good at weaving canvas, and sailors such as Li Jun. There is no shortage of talents of all kinds, and this condition is absolutely available.
"At first I thought it was Wu Yong who made the money and went up the mountain, but today I found out that it was the other man who pushed the boat!" Gongsun Sheng sighed. Li Jun must not be the only one who was persuaded by him, right?
Shen Long smiled and said nothing, let Gongsun Sheng continue to misunderstand like this, Liangshan's problem is that there is no way out, except for Li Kui, who has no brains, I am afraid that few people will think that they can be thieves for a long time, let alone think about sitting in the country , so Zhao'an became the only way out. Although many people were reluctant, they could only follow Song Jiang to submit to the court.
Today, Shen Long gave Gongsun Sheng a completely different plan, opened a new door for Gongsun Sheng, and let him see a wider world.
"I just heard from me today that the Taoist priest must have a lot of doubts. It's still too early now. After the Taoist priest returns, you might as well ask more to see if what I said is true; oh, by the way, Brother Li Jun has already started to build the sea. The boat is ready, maybe it can be built in a few days, and the Taoist priest can go to Tamna Island to have a look later." Shen Long gave Gongsun Sheng another surprise.
"It seems that even if Liangshan really succeeds in enlisting security, I'm afraid that outsiders will not go?" Gongsun Sheng asked.
Shen Long nodded, and asked him to kowtow and kneel to those in Tong Guan, fearing that it was impossible, "Actually, I also wanted to talk to Brother Gongming about this, but Brother Gongming is obsessed with recruiting, so I'm afraid I won't listen to it." ; If it really comes to that time, I can only leave quietly."
If you leave, you will definitely leave, but quietly, I'm afraid it's not necessarily true, right? You've thought so much and done so much, and you definitely won't just take Yan Qing away, besides Li Jun, who else will follow you? Gongsun Sheng secretly thought that Lin Chong and Gao Taiwei had a deep hatred, so he must not be willing to recruit.
There are also the Ruan family brothers, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others. They have always been jealous and disliked the corrupt officials of the court. In this way, at least one-third of the people will be taken away by him.
So, what should my disciples and I do? On the one hand, it is about recruiting peace and surrender, and on the other hand, it is a brand-new path that has never been thought of. Gongsun Sheng fell into thinking for a while.
