Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 241 Very Good Island

Ling Yun and Chai Lin walked to the side, and Daoist Ling Yun said in a low voice: "It's a good opportunity for us, how good this island is for us to have horses, our spring hasn't come yet, it's already spring here, and there are no fields, and the people are crowded. Little, don’t miss this opportunity, never miss it again.”

Chailin nodded: "That's right, a good place. Although the place is small, it's not a problem to raise 10,000+ horses. What's your solution?"

"Let him fight the Koryo country, and he will not be able to rely on us in the future. Just wait for our soldiers to arrive, and we can play as we want." Daoist Lingyun said.

"Okay, let's do it." Chailin said.

Daoist Ling Yun said: "Your Majesty, such a small matter is a matter, and we can help you find a way."

"Okay, I see that you are all heavenly beings from the Kingdom of Shang. First, go back to the palace with me. Let's talk after eating and drinking. I just thought about hanging myself, but now I'm very hungry." Luo Qing said.

A group of people followed Luo Qing to his palace, the only house in the village with blue bricks and red tiles. There were four shirtless men standing at the door, holding sticks as guards.

The living room is actually not bad, there are a few tables, but unfortunately there are no stools.

Chai Lin and the others are not so particular, just sit on the ground.

Luo Qing arranged the kitchen and cooked two large pots of boiled white shrimp. The shrimp was really big, bigger than a palm, and tasted really good. If it was shipped back, it would be sold in big restaurants for 38 yuan. .

After everyone had a big meal, Daoist Lingyun said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality. Your matter is very simple and can be easily resolved. Pindao just made a calculation, and the Koreans are destined to come and go. .The Tamra National People's Congress is victorious. This is our General Chai, who is proficient in war, bravely crowned the three armies, and a fierce general who can be defeated by thousands of people."

Luo Qing said: "Everyone does not know that Tamna is divided into two factions. One is the elder faction. They are elders in their sixties and seventies. They advocate paying what the Koreans demand and buying peace. The other faction is represented by me. Young men, we advocate not paying tribute to the Koreans, they are too greedy, these things are hard-earned by our people, if we hand them over to them, we will be struggling to death."

"Your Majesty is right. You cannot be subdued with might. I wonder how many soldiers and horses the Koreans will come to collect taxes?" Chailin asked.

"Generally there will be more than ten tax officials and more than a hundred soldiers." Luo Qing said.

"Then how many warriors are there in your country?"

"My Tamna country has a total of more than [-] people. However, fishing is too risky, and there are more women than men. There are only more than [-] strong men. Although the number is quite large, we Koreans control us very strictly. There are not even kitchen knives for cooking and short knives for handling fish, and even the king's guards use wooden sticks. Even with a few weapons, we will not be bullied."

Chailin said: "That's no wonder, you, the king, are too difficult. If you have weapons, can you convince the elders to agree with your proposition?"

"Of course, there is no problem at all. My king's guards are all strong people." Luo Qing said.

Chai Lin said: "Hey, I'll help you, I'm always too soft-hearted. Bring your guards and go to the beach to pick up things in an hour."

Luo Qing gathered his stick team, and they were really strong, everyone was holding a wooden stick.

An hour later, there were two large wooden boxes on the beach, which Chai Lin arranged for Dian Zhengnan to unload from the humpback whale ship, while the ship dived into the sea.

Luo Qing looked at the two big boxes and said, "What's inside?"

Chailin said, "Open it and have a look."

Luo Qing opened the first box. Inside was a sharp long knife. The blade was fifty centimeters long, and the handle of the hard wooden stick was one meter long. When combined, it was a long knife 1.5 meters long.

The other box opened to reveal a sharp wild boar spear. The spear was 1.2 centimeters long and the handle was 1.5 meters long. When combined, it was just [-] meters long.

"Okay, okay, it really is a Shangguo weapon, even this wooden stick is so straight." Luo Qing said in admiration.

Daoist Lingyun waved his whisk and said, "Is His Majesty the King satisfied with the fine workmanship of the great country's craftsmen?"

Luo Qing counted, fifty long knives and fifty wild boar spears, just enough to arm his guards.

Luo Qing said: "I'm quite satisfied, but I don't know the price. My Tamla country is poor, and there is very little gold and silver."

Chai Lin said: "The price of a handful of these instruments in the Song Dynasty was also five or six taels of silver. It is not easy to travel across the mountains and seas. Let the hundred of these be priced at a thousand catties of dried sea cucumbers."

Luo Qing was very happy. He was ready to be blackmailed, but he didn't expect the price to be so good.

"Okay, thank you very much, this king will arrange sea cucumbers now."

Don't look at the big king, but he is the king after all. He arranged for the guards to go back to fetch sea cucumbers. After a while, a thousand and two hundred catties of sea cucumbers arrived in sacks.Chai Lin looked at it, and found that it was not bad, and they were all high-quality sea cucumbers.Later, Lu Yidao, Xie Bao and others were stunned.No wonder they have to do sea trade, the profit is too high.For things worth a few tens of pennies, the profit has doubled by ten or twenty times.

Luo Qing said: "This king paid General Chai an extra two hundred catties of sea cucumber."

Chai Lin said: "That won't work, I have never had the habit of taking advantage, so I can't lose you."

Chai Lin beckoned, took a pine-pattern dagger from Xie Bao, and said, "This is a pine-pattern sword worth thousands of gold, and I give it to Your Majesty to wear."

Luo Qing took it over and took a look, this sword is really good, the short sword is only over a foot long, but it is very beautiful, there are pine wood patterns on the sword, it is undoubtedly a pine pattern sword.

But when Chai Lin thought about it, the food was bad. The warehouse of the Humpback Whale was too small. How could he load corn with sea cucumbers?

"It's not good, it's not good, the Koreans have arrived." A guard came to report.

From a distance, I saw two Korean ships coming from the sea.

Luo Qing resentfully drew out the short sword in his hand, and said: "Ring the alarm bell, gather all the soldiers and horses to meet the enemy on the beach."

"Yes."

Immediately, the sound of gongs and drums resounded all over the nearby fishing villages, and more than 1000 people gathered in a mighty manner.

Chai Lin said, "Go, let's follow along."

Chai Lin and a group of six people watched from behind, and upon closer inspection, their hearts turned cold. There are really many strong men, more than 1000 people, but only Luo Qing's one hundred guards are physically strong, and most of the other strong men are lack of nutrition. With dishes, there are dozens of elderly people in their 60s.Each person holds a wooden stick as a weapon, and only a few strong men wear a small knife for handling fish on their waists.

While talking, the two big ships of Goryeo docked, and a hundred people got off the boat, the leader was a fat man, followed by more than a dozen masters and other accountants who settled accounts.The other [-] or so people are soldiers, these soldiers are fierce, wearing big rattan hats, coarse clothes, holding long knives with sheaths in their hands, expressionless, like who owes them millions .

Immediately, they chattered like birdsong, as if Chai Lin and others were listening to heavenly scriptures.

They spoke Korean, and the tax official said, "Mr. Luo, are the supplies ready to be paid?"

"Not ready, you want too much, we will starve to death when we hand in the supplies." Luo Qing said.

"Bastard, it's rare that you want to rebel." The fat tax official pulled out his waist knife, and suddenly he saw that the hundred guards behind Luo Qing were all equipped with simple knives and short spears.Suddenly, ten thousand alpacas floated in my mind, who is trying to kill me, why no one mentioned that the Tamna people have weapons?

"We don't want to rebel, we just don't want to pay so much." Luo Qing said.

"Then how much do you plan to pay?" the tax official asked.

Luo Qing was very happy, he didn't expect the effect of the weapon to be so good, usually this group of people talk with their nostrils upturned.
