904 Expedition to Goryeo 2

As for the issue of Jeju, this is the first time that the Goryeo court has heard of it. Jeju Island is not a territory of Goryeo, when will Jeju come out? Besides, the island is full of Tamna people, and they have a Mao relationship with the Baekje royal family. I just solved it together.

Leading the troops to the south is the Goryeo general Yin Qiang, the word is the same as Xuan, in his fifties, born in the imperial examination, the root of the red Miaozheng, the six dynasties, is a very capable, very brainy Goryeo general, but also Wang Hao's henchman, it can be seen that the Goryeo court still attaches great importance to this rebellion, not only sent a general, but also mobilized 100,000 elite soldiers, divided into east and west, straight to Annamfu.

In fact, by the time Yin's vanguard troops arrived at the Jinjiang River north of Annam, it was already the last day of 1097, more than a month before the rebellion began.

In the space of more than a month, Xiao Wuna's 3,000 marines, 6,000 Baekje militia, and 4,000 Japanese mercenaries not only swept away the three provinces, but also expanded more than 100 miles to the north and east, bringing Andong Province in Lingdong Province and Gyeongsan Province in Lingdong Province under their control.

At this point, the southernmost provinces of the Korean Peninsula were basically captured, and the descendants of the Baekje royal family officially welcomed Jeju King Yelu Sue to the throne in Annam Province, established the Haedong Kingdom, issued a crusade order to the King of Goryeo, enumerated the 33 major sins of the royal family, and called on the local people to support the Haedong Kingdom.

In addition to being famous for sending troops, the new king Yelushu also issued an edict to let all the people under his rule be fed and clothed, and it is not a blank check, and it will be cashed immediately!

The solution was very simple, Haidong Kingdom set up 12 registration stations in Sidao, and all the people who were willing to become Haidong citizens and support the new king could go to the registration stations to register and make records, and then receive enough food, bedding, and thick clothes to survive the winter according to the capita.

But there was a condition that the censor be used to expose the opponents and kill a captured Goryeo soldier with his own hands at the registration station. If the rebels can be caught with their own hands, the food, bedding, and thick clothes will be doubled, and the best land will be given priority.

Does it work...... Just look at the number of ships that dock at the four ports every day, and they line up day and night, loaded with rice, bedding, clothes and jerky.

The local people did not know where the ships came from, there were no flags on the masts, no markings on the hulls, and the sailors on board did not communicate with the locals, and they unloaded their cargo under the supervision of the marines and left the port immediately.

Jiang Erlang and Xiao Wuna pledged all their belongings for this northern expedition, and most of the huge wealth accumulated on Jeju Island by selling whale oil, whale meat, whale skin, and ambergris over the years was stored in the post office system of the promotion society, and now it has all been exchanged for food, bedding, clothes, and weapons and equipment.

One of these ships was counted as one, all of them from the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants, and the post office and the bank helped to summon them at a price more than double that of normal days. In fact, Jiang Erlang and Xiao Wuna didn't have to think too much about logistics at all, and these jobs were done by SF Post Office and local banks. Even the management of more than 10 registration stations was coordinated by the Promotion Society, and there were more than 2,000 members and militiamen of the Promotion Society who consolidated the rear area for Jiang Erlang alone. Of course, they all became Jeju Islanders, Japanese, and no Song Dynasty people anyway.

Hong Tao worked so hard for Jiang Erlang and Xiao Wuna, in addition to Princess Terry and Yeluxu, there was also a secret deal. In addition to paying, Jiang Erlang and Xiao Wuna had to lease Jeju Island to Wang Shu himself for 999 years, and enjoy extraterritoriality, with a rent of ten whales per year.

"The last general has already been mentally prepared, and plans to give up the peninsula south of Anbei Mansion to the Great Song Dynasty, just a small island, and the adults will take it, so how can we lease it!" When Hong Tao put forward this condition, Xiao Wuna asked back and forth several times, but still refused to sign the document. It's not that he is reluctant, but he feels that the price he paid is too small, and his heart is not steady.

With his understanding of this Great Song Dynasty, it is really a model of no profit and no early riser, giving lectures to his own sons and daughters requires children to exchange labor for labor, either cleaning the room or cleaning the yard, and don't want to earn money from him for a penny. But this colt is also very trustworthy, as long as he reaches an agreement with him, even if he loses, he will fulfill the contract, and he will never cheat.

Before asking the promotion society to help secretly, he and Jiang Erlang had already calculated the price they could pay, and there were three grades in total. The cheapest is to send the three roads in the south of the peninsula to the Great Song Dynasty, if it is not enough, the peninsula will be cut in half, and the south of Kaijing will not be wanted, if it can not satisfy the appetite of the horses, you can take the entire peninsula, but you can't deliver it immediately, you have to wait for the Great Song Dynasty to destroy the Jin Kingdom, and exchange it for the land of Liaodong.

After calculating for a long time, the colt only needs a small island with a big fart, and Xiao Wuna feels that he has taken a big advantage. It doesn't matter if you take advantage of others, but you can't take advantage of this one, let him hate you, don't wait ten years, retribution will come soon, because he is not a gentleman.

"Old Xiao, don't look at people with old eyes. In the past, this king contributed to the country, and he could not talk about personal affairs, nor could he casually give away benefits. It won't be long before the king hands over his military power, I am me, and the Great Song is the Great Song. With the strength of one family, how to govern so much land. Jeju Island is enough, I want to build a palace on it for retirement, and by the way, I will compete with Erlang for the whaling industry and subsidize the family. In the future, it will not be me that you need to worry about, but my adopted children, and you will miss me when the time comes. ”

That is, Xiao Wuna, a person who has lost the country, takes the land as a treasure, this kind of broken place, I don't want to give it to the Great Song Hongtao for nothing, not to mention how to manage and defend, the high cost of development alone can't stand it.

Let's ask if there is so much fertile land in the north in the hands of the Jin State, and if you want to open up the wasteland and grab it, who will be willing to drag your family and cross the sea, and run to the broken mountains to reclaim the wasteland.

It is said that the 50,000 Goryeo soldiers led by Yin Qian met Jiang Erlang's 5,000 navy in Gongju, and the two sides looked across the river. Yin Qian was quite cautious at first, and sent more than a dozen scouts to cross the river at night to check the reality of the enemy, although few could go back alive, but as long as there was one alive, the number of enemies could be clarified.

Five thousand...... Against fifty thousand! No matter how cautious and careful Yin Qian is, he can't help but feel contempt. Is the Liao army powerful? Don't say ten to one, even if it is three times the Liao army, the Goryeo soldiers dare to say that they have won a hundred battles, a group of farmers who don't even have armor, holding a few sticks in their hands, dare to use their arms as a car?

The whole army crosses the river!

As soon as Yin Qian ordered the flag to wave, the Goryeo soldiers began to prepare to cross the river, and as soon as they came up, they set out the main force and the whole army to move, and the five ferries were divided into five crossings at an interval of half a mile to act at the same time. As long as he could quickly resolve the rebellion in the south and put down the rebellion in the south, Yin Qian was not thinking about how to fight, but hurried back to the northern border of the division to deal with the Jurchen problem.

It is said that the Emperor of Jin suffered a loss on the side of the Great Song Dynasty and was forced to annul all agreements between Jin and Goryeo, including border agreements. It's troublesome now, Jin Guo said that the six border towns are theirs, and the Goryeo court naturally doesn't do it, and the double anti-dumping has been arguing on this issue, and sometimes there will be a local skirmish, and the Goryeo soldiers are more defeated and less victorious, and the situation is not good.

After the new king ascended the throne, he was planning to form an elite cavalry unit to resist the Jin cavalry raid, and this task also fell to Yin Qiang, compared with these so-called descendants of the Baekje royal family in the south, the threat on the Jin side was obviously much greater.

When it came to the threat of Jin Guo, Yin Qian was not very calm, and he was very irritable. Originally, it was very comfortable for Goryeo to be sandwiched between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, and whoever needed it would give Goryeo benefits, and there was no need for Goryeo to send troops and strength, and it was enough to express himself vaguely.

But the situation has changed a little over the years, and the Great Song Dynasty no longer rewards money, and even the Goryeo envoys love to ignore it, which means a little neglected. Once this balance is broken, the situation facing the Kingdom of Goryeo will be much more complicated.

In the past, whether it was with the Great Song Dynasty, or the Liao State, or the Jin State, they could calmly change without being friends or enemies. Now that the Great Song Dynasty has withdrawn, the Goryeo court has no choice but to decide who to be friends with, and the other is the enemy.
