Chapter 212: The governor of Jeju is unrivaled in the world!
"I have never seen the Golden Man, I have only heard rumors about him."

Chen Ran said casually, "I heard that the Jin people were very powerful and swept across the Liao Kingdom in ten years."

Ma Zhi's heart was slightly moved, and he immediately asked, "If this is the case, why can't we divide the Liao Kingdom with the Jin people?"

He also wanted to hear a different voice from Chen Ran. Everyone in the Song Dynasty court was thinking about sharing the remnants of the Liao Dynasty with the Jin people.

"The Jin people rose so fast that after defeating the Liao, the generation that founded the country was still in their prime."

Chen Ran was not polite and directly pointed out the theme, "Any newly rising military group has a strong belief in expansion. After destroying Liao, there is a prosperous and wealthy Song Kingdom next to it, but it is weaker than Liao. If it were a scholar, would he raise an army to attack?"

Ma Zhi smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes!"

"The court has thought of everything else." Chen Ran said sarcastically, "The only thing they didn't expect was that their military strength was the weakest among the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Jin!"

"Once we can't win on the battlefield, then everything is over~~~"

Ma Zhi nodded in agreement, he acknowledged this point.

The Liao Kingdom was far stronger than the Jin in all aspects.

But after being defeated on the battlefield, everything became a thing of the past, and the Jin people were able to take away everything from the Liao people at will.

Their men were beheaded, their women were taken as slaves, and their wealth, cattle, sheep, land, cities, pastures, etc. all fell into the hands of the Jin people.

"The most powerful army of the Song Dynasty is the Western Army, but the Western Army has been fighting with the Western Xia for a hundred years and has never been able to eliminate this rebellion."

Chen Ran took the initiative to help Ma Zhi find a rebuttal after returning to the court. "And Xixia's troops are not good enough in front of the Liao people, otherwise they would not have pledged loyalty to the Liao people and married a Liao princess as their queen."

"The Liao people, who were more capable of fighting than the Western Xia, are now being beaten by the Jin people and are on the verge of extinction. This shows that the combat effectiveness of the Jin people is at least two levels lower than that of the Song people."

He simply spread his hands and said, "There is such a huge gap in strength between the two sides, but you are still thinking about cooperating with them. Once the borders are connected, isn't this just courting disaster?"

"Good." Ma Zhi clapped his hands and smiled. "Zihou, you said it very well."

He then sighed, "It's a pity that here in the Song Dynasty, there are too few people who can see things as clearly as you do."

"You don't understand it either." Chen Ran smiled and thought to himself, "If I hadn't helped you revise it, you would still be busy trying to get the Song Dynasty into the hands of the Jin people."

He thought for a moment and asked, "Master, are you worried about having a hard time reporting back?"

"This time when I went to the Jin Kingdom, I witnessed the brutality and tyranny of the Jin people, and I was deeply worried." Ma Zhi sighed repeatedly, "Just like what you said, the third brother helped the eldest brother to beat the second brother, and when the second brother was defeated, the third brother would definitely be the one to suffer."

"The problem is that the officials in the court don't know that they are the third in command." Chen Ran understood his thoughts and added, "They always thought they were the first in command."

"Yes."

Ma Zhi was really worried. "When I went to Liao, I saw how miserable the Liao people were. The men were worse than dogs, and the women were sold on the streets like livestock. Their bones were exposed in the wild!"

'In a few years, all these scenes will be staged in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and they will be even more miserable than the Liao people! '

Chen Ran began to change the topic. "It is impossible to change the plans of the officials and the ministers. They don't realize their own shortcomings and powerlessness, and they only want to take advantage of any opportunity."

"The only thing the scholar can do now is to delay as much as possible, delay the cooperation with the Jin people, and let the Liao people hold out for a while longer."

Ma Zhi smiled bitterly, "Even if it can be delayed for a year or two, what's the point?"

Chen Ran didn't say, "Give me a few years to develop, and see how I can defeat the Jin people."

There is no point in saying these words at this time.

"Let's take it one step at a time." He simply shrugged. "Who knows, maybe a miracle will happen."

"That's right." Chen Ran thought of something and immediately said, "Don't rely on yourself. The Liao people have had influence in the Song Dynasty for many years. You can secretly reveal the news to the Liao people, and they will take action and find ways to prevent the merger of Song and Jin."

The Song and Liao dynasties had a friendship of nearly two hundred years, and they had called each other brothers for more than a hundred years. Even the Song people had Ma Zhi, who was born in Liao, who took the initiative to surrender to them. No one would believe that the Liao Kingdom had no influence on the Song Dynasty.

Ma Zhi, who was originally frowning, suddenly felt relieved.

You're right, why should you fight alone?

The Song people wanted to take advantage of the situation, and the people they were most worried about were the Liao people.

As long as the news leaks out, they will try their best to find ways to stop it, which is much better than trying to find a way yourself.

Thinking of this, Ma Zhi looked towards Chen Ran with eyes full of admiration.

This young man is really amazing.

The Song Dynasty is truly a gathering place of elites. Even in such a remote place there can be such outstanding talents.

The two of them looked like they had met too late and chatted until dark.

Ma Zhi gave him a copy of the letter and told him that if he wanted to contact him in the future, he could send someone with the letter to his residence in Tokyo, hoping that they could keep in touch through letters frequently.

Chen Ran didn't hesitate and immediately agreed, "Okay!"

The next morning, Ma Zhi, who had received the plan to contact the Liao people and oppose the alliance with the Jin people, said goodbye to Chen Ran solemnly, then set out with his delegation and headed straight for Tokyo City.

After seeing Ma Zhi off, Chen Ran gathered his thoughts and gathered everyone together again to discuss the next course of action.

"Brothers."

He placed a simple sand table on the table, showing the main locations of Qingzhou and Jeju.

"We have now established a firm foothold in Qingzhou, and now it is time to expand outward."

Everyone already knew this and expressed their agreement.

Yang Zhi even reported the strength of his side, "We now have three to four thousand combat soldiers, and more than a thousand armored men and horses. We have sufficient food and military supplies. There are no bandits in the two territories of Jingdong that we cannot defeat."

He was determined to restore his identity, so Chen Ran got an official position as a bandit-suppressing commander for his team, and Yang Zhi was very supportive of this.

"It's not difficult to defeat the bandits." Hua Rong is a local and knows more information. "But Governor Zhang of Jeju is not a good person. If we cross the border to suppress the bandits, we may get into trouble." "Prepare some money and goods."

Chen Ran immediately instructed, "Send it to Prefect Murong, and ask him to help persuade Prefect Zhang to allow us to cross the border and suppress the bandits."

Yang Zhi, who was in high spirits, simply stated, "If it were up to me, I'd better just get the title of Jingdong Two-Way Bandit Suppression Envoy. That would be much more convenient."

"That makes sense." Chen Ran thought about it carefully and simply instructed, "Send the ginseng and Dongzhu I have to Governor Murong."

These ginsengs of high-quality years and large oriental pearls were given to Ma Zhi by the Jin people, and before leaving, Ma Zhi gave another batch to Chen Ran as a gift.

In order to get the job done, Chen Ran used it without hesitation.

Wu Song was a little surprised. "Brother, there's no need to spend so much money, right?"

"These are not for Governor Murong." Chen Ran said with a smile, "They are for his sister. This is a thank you gift for asking her sister to help persuade him."

Facts have proved that pillow talk is indeed very powerful.

Not long after, Hua Rong was appointed as the bandit-suppression envoy in the two routes of Jingdong, and Chen Ran was appointed as the deputy envoy.

With this name, they can legitimately run rampant in both directions of Jingdong, fighting against bandits while expanding their own strength.

The court had no objection to this.

This appointment seems to be very important, and it clearly marks the boundaries of JD.com.

But in reality, it is still a low-level assignment, a temporary one.

Moreover, the court does not need to provide food, wages and military supplies, so of course it is not difficult.

As for the credit, it actually all went to Prefect Murong.

Chen Ran naturally didn't care about this. He would get back everything with interest in the future anyway. The most important thing at this stage was to expand his own strength.

"Our target is Dulonggang."

Pointing to the tea bowl representing Dulonggang on the temporary sand table, Chen Ran simply stated, "The local tyrant here is Zhujiazhuang. There is a large population and fertile land. It can provide a large amount of food and supplies."

Hua Rong was the first to speak. He knew more about the situation here. "I know Dulonggang, but there is not only Zhujiazhuang, but also Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang."

"The three villages formed an alliance, looking out for each other and keeping each other warm. Attacking Zhujia Village will inevitably lead to the involvement of the other two villages."

"I've heard about it, too." This time it was Lu Zhishen who spoke. "I heard that these three villages are all local tyrants, firmly controlling Dulonggang. Even the government is not as effective as them here, and they can't collect taxes and grain."

These three villages are actually similar to family gangs.

Through the power of the family, he controls the land and population, accumulates wealth and becomes a local tycoon.

Once the world changes, you may be able to take advantage of the situation.

Even the famous prefect Zhang found this kind of local tyrant a headache.

After all, this is not the Han Dynasty, and the county magistrate can directly lead his troops to massacre the entire family of the local tyrant.

This is also the reason why Middle-earth has always had to eradicate local tyrants and break up large families.

In a nutshell, the black society alliance of these three villages is very powerful and difficult to take down easily.

"It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake." Chen Ran reached out and picked up the tea bowl, crushed it with a strong squeeze, "Let's be a strong dragon this time!"

Even if it is a battle involving only a few thousand people, it still requires advance preparation.

Arrange civilians to transport food and supplies, mobilize soldiers and horses for war preparations, gather intelligence and plan routes, etc.

There is a lot that needs to be done.

Chen Ran assigned all these matters to the leaders.

As for himself, he came to the capital of Jeju and visited Jeju Zhang Zhizhou.

This Zhang Zhizhou was very famous and his name will go down in history.

He is an outlier among the scholars who only know how to enjoy themselves and talk, because he is both civil and military!

'Meet the historical figure Zhang Shuye, who served in the Pingqiang Camp, wiped out the great bandit Song Jiang, fought bravely when the country was destroyed, and was the only reinforcement that broke through the blockade and entered the city during the Jingkang Siege. Unfortunately, the emperor was incompetent and his officials were treacherous, and both father and son died for their country.'

'Note: You can modify two of the words.'

Many people died for their country during the Jingkang period, but Zhang Shuye was the best among them.

He was a man of both civil and military talents, capable of fighting the Jin people in the field. Unfortunately, he was killed in a trap.

History is always like this: a brave hero dies on the battlefield, and his eldest son also dies with him.

But treacherous villains like Qin Hui were able to die without any illness, and their descendants survived for generations.

Reading through history books makes one feel inexplicably sad.

Looking at Zhang Shuye in front of him, Chen Ran sighed and changed "both father and son died for their country" to "both father and son died a good death."

I guess I won’t be able to get the reward after this modification.

After all, it would probably take decades for Zhang Shuye and his son to die peacefully.

"Deputy Envoy Chen?" Seeing Chen Ran staring blankly at him and even gesturing with his hands, Zhang Shuye was a little dissatisfied. "What does this mean?"

'What do you mean? Save your life!'
