Chapter 378 The Great Rivers and Lakes Crisis Once in Ten Years(1/2)
Chapter 378 A once-in-a-decade crisis
Imperial Master's Mansion.
Lin Lang sat there drinking tea and looking at an invitation in front of him.
"Yunluo finally opened his mansion, okay, I will go there tomorrow."
It seems that this mansion was specially selected, just across the road from his Imperial Master's Mansion.
It would be very convenient if I want to talk to my little apprentice in the future and give him some advice on acupuncture skills.
However, he still had to make it clear that he could go, but Yun Luo could not come to his Imperial Master's Mansion.
Not only is there a new poisonous poison formation here, it is also a fatal danger to Yun Luo, but also it would be bad if he bumps into others. After all, Yun Luo is still his good disciple in name.
Early the next morning, many dignitaries sent people to deliver gifts to the princess's mansion, but what was unexpected was that they didn't even get in.
Even if you don't give gifts, you won't save a meal. This is the second time they meet.
The last person to do this was the princess's master. As expected, every master must have his disciples.
Even some of the royal family members were not left to eat.
"Hey, I was not prepared for the first time I opened the house. I forgot to arrange a cook. Another day, another day I will treat you to a good meal."
Yun Luo stood at the door and drove away some princesses and consorts, but still looked forward to it.
After a while, I saw a bright yellow carriage approaching.
"Brother Imperial, why are you here?" Yun Luo muttered in a low voice. Not to mention that she was just a princess. Even if a princess opened a palace, it would be enough for the emperor to send someone to deliver something. Why did she come in person?
"Yunluo, why are you not happy to see me?"
Yun Luo forced out a smile: "No, Yun Luo is very happy."
"Master, you are here." Yun Luo suddenly looked at the back of Emperor Ming and showed a happy smile.
Emperor Ming: "..."
He turned around quickly: "Master Lin."
"Well, let's go in." Lin Lang walked in, followed by Emperor Ming and Princess Yunluo. No one thought anything was wrong.
In the room, a table of wine and food had been set up, and Lin Lang and the three of them sat down.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty couldn't help but ask: "Master Lin went to the capital of Song Dynasty some time ago?"
Lin Lang put down his wine glass: "If you want to ask anything, just say it."
What is a man doing hesitantly?
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty looked at Lin Lang: "Master Lin, are you willing to help me and help the Ming Dynasty annex the Song Dynasty?"
"As long as this is successful, the Ming Dynasty will have the most prosperous territory in the world. As long as there is no shortage of food and grass, all other surrounding countries can be wiped out."
"I have calculated that it will take one year to destroy the Song Dynasty, and another three years to make all the surrounding countries surrender. The Sui Dynasty, the Western Regions, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, Tubo, Dali, and even Nanyue and Nihong can all be captured. The real
To unify the world."
The Ming Emperor became more and more excited as he talked about it. If he could do this, he would truly be the emperor through the ages. This was something that even the First Emperor did not do.
Lin Lang asked back: "You only counted the food and grass. You have swallowed up a lot of the territory of the Meng Yuan Dynasty. There is no shortage of war horses, but what about the ordnance?"
"Are you ready with armor, weapons, saddles, tents, even pots for soldiers to eat, bedding for sleeping, and medicines to treat injuries?"
"The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not good at fighting, but when the country was about to be destroyed, how could they not rise up to resist? How many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did you let die for your own selfish interests?"
"They join the army to protect their homeland, not to expand your territory."
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was confused. When he attacked Meng Yuan, annexed Xixia, and made Gao Yuli surrender, wasn't that what the emperor said? How long did it take for him to change his mind?
"Master Lin, is it really not possible? I just want the world to be unified, and there will be no more wars in the world from now on..."
Under Lin Lang's gaze, the Ming Emperor's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Do you believe this? It's not that it can't be done, but it's just that it's not suitable to fight anymore for the time being."
"Occupying a territory as large as Meng Yuan, has the Duhufu been built? Has the pension for the soldiers who were killed or injured been enough?"
"If you want to be a good emperor, you must make the people rich, only then can you be called a wise king."
"But who said that Ming Dynasty could not continue to expand without fighting? Send people to send letters of credence to Liao, Tubo, Dali, etc., asking them to declare themselves vassals and pay tribute."
"As a former ally, Dali can give some face and ask for less, so that the territory will not continue to expand."
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was overjoyed, as long as Lin Lang supported the Ming Dynasty's continued expansion.
If Dali and Tubo surrender, they will surround the Song Dynasty. After that, they can either attack the Song Dynasty or force the Song Dynasty to surrender.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty attacked the Song Dynasty has been found by the Ming Dynasty. The price of rice sold by the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty increased, making the people of the Ming Dynasty unable to afford polished rice.
No matter how ridiculous the reason is, as long as there is a reason.
For other matters, let the civil servants quarrel with the officials of the Song Dynasty. The goal of the Ming Dynasty was just to annex the Song Dynasty.
"In a few days, people from the Sui Dynasty will send some ordnance. Remember to pay."
Neither he nor Wanwan can use the weapons in Yang Gong's treasury. They just happen to be sold to the Ming Emperor. It's impossible not to buy them.
Emperor Ming nodded in surprise: "Okay, okay, Master Lin has saved me a lot of trouble."
He would use all these ordnances to arm the troops stationed in the border towns of the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Even if he did not fight for the time being, he would still have to show his strength.
"Brother Imperial, today is Yunluo's opening of the mansion, why are you talking about state affairs again?" Princess Yunluo couldn't help it, she didn't even talk to her master.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about state affairs anymore. Master Lin, my sister likes to practice martial arts since she was a child, and hopes to make a career in the world."
"However, it is her good fortune to be able to become the disciple of Master Lin. I will rely on Master Lin to take care of her from now on and don't let her discredit Master Lin. I will take my leave."
Emperor Ming got the answer he wanted, got up and left.
He wanted to go back quickly and have people send letters of credence to Liao, Tubo, Dali, etc., so that those small countries could surrender quickly.
By the way, I'll also send a copy to Neon. After the incident in Izumo Country, I haven't had contact with Neon for a long time, so I have to let them pay tribute as well.
In this way, only the Sui Dynasty, which was divided by warlords, half of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were left with weak military power. The unification of the world by the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner!
In fact, he had one more thing he wanted to ask Lin Lang. He heard that the Heshi Jade that Buddhism had kept in Sui Dynasty was in Lin Lang's hands.
That is the true symbol of imperial power. After obtaining it, Ming Dynasty will be truly orthodox in the world.
However, when someone said that this was a martial arts treasure, he didn't say anything. If Master Lin didn't want it one day, he might just give it to him.
He is still young, in great shape, and can afford to wait.
Emperor Ming left, leaving Lin Lang and Yun Luo alone in the room.
"Master, Yun Luo has finally left the palace. From now on, he can see Master every day."
Lin Lang said with a straight face: "Are you leaving the palace just for fun? You must practice martial arts well so that you can travel in the world in the future."
"During this period, practice the martial arts taught to you by your master. If you have been serious about it these two days, please check with your master."
This inspection lasted for an hour, and everything was carefully inspected inside and out.
"From now on, remember to practice well at home. If my master doesn't call you, don't go to my master's place."
"Practice martial arts as your priority. Don't think about practicing Taoist secrets with your master every day."
Princess Yunluo: "..."
It's obvious that Master makes the first move every time.
But what the master said is right. If she has the strength of a great master, she can go out and make a career in the world, right?
She has inquired about it, and now there are very few grandmasters in the world of the Ming Dynasty. The great master can definitely leave.
If she meets someone stronger, regardless of her status as the princess, she will directly report her name as master and see who dares to bully her.
Lin Lang was in the yard, actually giving instructions on Yun Luo's martial arts moves, when the Five Poison Boy came over.
"Okay, you can practice on your own, and I will go back as my teacher."
Lin Lang let go of Yun Luo's wrist and strolled back to his home.
"What's up?"
The Five Poison Boy lowered his head: "Sir, Shangguan Haitang is here and said there is urgent information."
Urgent information?
Lin Lang returned to the mansion and saw Shangguan Haitang standing in the living room.
Still dressed in men's clothing, looking dashing.
"What are you so anxious about?"
Lin Lang sat down calmly and drank the freshly brewed Yuqian Longjing. It was a tribute that he personally brought back from the Song Dynasty Palace. It tasted good.
Shangguan Haitang said seriously: "Master Imperial Master, at the seaside in the southeast of the Song Dynasty, two people have recently arrived. One of them is tall, one is short, one is fat and the other is thin."
"They came once ten years ago and once twenty years ago, and each time they took away a group of leaders of the Jianghu sect."
"And those people have never come back. Everyone in the world thinks this is a major crisis in the world that happens once every ten years."
