Chapter 435: The Picture Is Great [Ask for Subscription]
Goryeo, the sea southeast of Ganghwa Island.
In the early morning, the rising sun casts the soft rays of sunlight into the sea through the clouds, and on the vast blue sea, waves continue to surge, crashing on both sides of the hull, making a roaring sound and spraying snow-white foam.
The sea breeze is calm, even the sound of the waves is exceptionally light, everything seems to be still asleep, never awakened.
Two Goryeo ships, one large and one small, sailed on the sea, and from the bow of the big ship, two men dressed as Goryeo nobles were looking out from the side.
"Seventh brother, in half an hour, we will be able to sail to Haidong No. 3 Port." The younger of the two Goryeo nobles said to the older man.
"Haidong No. 3 Port, what a strange name." Li Ziyin muttered. The Liangshan army renamed the ports of the islands they had acquired under the name of "Haidong", with the order of 1234, which was very eccentric.
"The Liangshan thief attaches great importance to the way of mathematics." The young man said again.
Li Ziyin's eyes narrowed. He is the elder of the Li clan in Renzhou, and he is the widow of Li Ziyi's family back then. In the clan, even Li Ziqian has to give him three points.
In this drastic change in Goryeo, although the Liangshan army had completely withdrawn from Kaijing, Wang Yu was always stranded in Hanyang, Nanjing, that is, the Seoul of later generations. If so, the royal family's control of the Northland was suddenly weakened. And because of the previous resistance to thieves, the powerful families in various places have raised swords, and the strength of the war is not high, and the constraints of the Goryeo royal power in the local area have also been greatly reduced.
The royal power is shaken, the dignity is lost, the people's hearts are confused, all kinds of people are emerging, and there is Liangshan Bo fanning the flames inside, such as the huge Goryeo, it seems to have been calm, but in fact the undercurrent is turbulent.
In the case of the Li clan in Inju, some people advocated taking the opportunity to seek the land of the northern country. Li Ziqian's father-in-law, Tuo Junjing, was certainly defeated by the Liangshan army, but his soldiers and horses can still be called "elite" in Goryeo, and it is not a problem to suppress the north.
In this way, first become a feudal town, lay a solid foundation, and then compete for the world. Thinking about it, the Liangshan army must also be happy to see the fall of Wang's Goryeo.
Such a loud voice was so loud that Li Ziqian couldn't suppress it.
However, the land of Renzhou is too sensitive, and it is located in the south of Kaijing and north of Nanjing. If later generations saw the map of Goryeo and saw the location of Inju, they would be able to call its later name - Incheon. In such a place, if you want to plan it, you must be careful.
And Wang Mata didn't give it for free. Naturally, he knew the disadvantages of staying in Nanjing for a long time, and he knew more about the relationship between Tuo Junjing and Li Ziqian. And with the door of the Ping Zhangshi Jin Yuan sentenced the northwest soldiers and horses, responsible for the border defense of the Great Wall in the north, and then used the governor Gao Lingchen to sit in Kaijing.
Although the Li clan in Inju was close to Ganghwa Island, they were also controlled by the north and south, and they did not want to immediately tear their faces with the royal family, so Li Ziyin and his entourage could only cover their whereabouts, so they could only go east from the port of Inju to the sea off Ganghwa Bay, turn to the north, and then insert diagonally from the southeast, bypass a large circle, and sail to Ganghwa Island.
The sea is as soft as blue silk, the blue sky is full of white clouds, and the wings of seabirds swirl in the air, looking for food.
There are many islands in Ganghwa Bay, and there are many uninhabited islands, even in later generations, no human beings have set foot in them.
The east side of the peninsula is less than three to five miles away from the narrowest point of the west coast of the peninsula. Its north shore and the capital of Goryeo, Kaegyeong, are only a few dozen miles away. Ganghwa Island is also located at the mouth of the Han River, one of the most important rivers on the peninsula, and you can reach Seoul, the capital of Nambangja in the later world, and one of the three capitals of Goryeo. The traffic is really very convenient, and there are dangers to defend, it is no wonder that this place has always been a stick to go out, once the foreign invasion can not be resisted, I want to hide in Ganghwa Island.
And the port on the island is also very good, located in the west of the island, a crescent-shaped concave bay, the west of the bay is only three or two miles apart, and there is a long flat island called Ximao Island to shield from the wind and waves, thus forming a number of excellent natural havens.
Finally, there is the topography of this island, on this small island, there are as many as five mountains and hills, and they are not attached to each other, but the whole island is cut into many pieces, which is very suitable for defense, and the mountains are mixed with flat land, and the land is fertile, rich in rice and grain. In the south of the island, there is a Mani Mountain with an altitude of more than 400 meters, and there is a castle built on the mountain, which was once the last refuge of the king of Goryeo. There is also a large city built in the south of Mani Mountain, which is where the former capital of Goryeo was located.
In the original time and space, when the Mongols swept the peninsula, the Goryeo court took refuge on Ganghwa Island for 30 years.
The Goryeo Dynasty experienced the difficulties of the earlier invasion of the Liao Kingdom, and built many castles for defense on Ganghwa Island and Ximao Island, which was also in the same defensive circle, but now these fortresses are floating with the banner of the Liangshan army.
A Chinese-style sailing ship is quietly docked at the No. 3 port in the East China Sea, where the wharf and trestle bridge have been built, and even the reserved track line is full of laborers. Governor Lin Dudu was about to return to the mainland, and before that, the main works on Ganghwa Island would be completed, and the first horse-drawn carriage line would be completed.
To the west, Liang Shanjun made many innovations on the docks, using cranes and rail-drawn carriages, the latter of which were iron-clad wood. Although it was just a small fight on Liangshan, the relatively huge consumption amount also made Lu Qian change color. And there are also maintenance issues associated with such items. With the current situation of Liangshan Army, long-distance shops are impossible, and they can only be used in mines and dock areas. And that's exactly what they're doing now.
For example, Xuzhou, Laiwu, such as the coastal ports of Huainan in Shandong, and Goryeo. In the case of Nigu Village, you can only and must build a straight road.
Don't think that if it's reinforced with iron sheets, no one will steal it. Think about the nuts, bolts, iron seats and the like of the railway in the previous life, how much manpower the country has to spend on regular maintenance and risk removal, and the people who steal cables are also endless. When you think about the demand for iron and the price of iron in our time, we should think about how serious the consequences would be if this thing was left unattended. And if someone is in charge, how much will it cost?
Don't talk about this, just look at the No. 3 port in Haidong, which is one of the good ports on Ganghwa Island, and the supporting facilities must be complete. The trestle and wharf are all stone repairs, cranes, railroad carriages, and supporting storage warehouses, a lot.
There is also a garrison camp, which is the important place of Ganghwa Island.
Hundreds of laborers dressed in uniform were nervously unloading the ship's cargo under the leadership of the foreman. Their movements were swift, and the animal-driven boom crane was skillfully manipulated by these people to quickly and safely lift boxes of goods off the deck of the ship and onto the trestle. Then the laborers carried boxes to the wharf with manpower, loaded and transported away.
Li Ziyin's eyes flashed with envy, and he knew that those boxes might contain one of the purposes of his visit.
Although the war of the Yangsan army against Goryeo had just ended, the goods they exported had already begun to flow into Goryeo.
Yes, this time the battle caused the royal family and the wealthy merchants of Kaijing to suffer heavy losses, but the two classes of nobles and wealthy merchant families in the north and south did not suffer any big losses.
To put it simply, the losses are more central than local. Goryeo itself is a country with huge local strength, and after 200 years of efforts by the Wang family, through repeated innovations, military power and financial power were generally integrated into one, and Wenhan institutions such as Hanlin Yuan, Cheongsangak, and Baowenge were established, and the nine-grade eighteen-level and Chinese-style civil and military dispersal system was established. suppressed the power of the local aristocracy, demoted their official names such as the military department and the warehouse department that usurped the central government, demoted the original official ranks of Daeang and Jeongkuang in Goryeo to township posts, and confiscated the weapons of the prefecture and county and replaced them with agricultural tools.
It can be said that by the present era, Goryeo had completed the initial centralization. Even if the local forces are still not to be underestimated, they are only the poison of the day before yesterday.
However, this wave of attacks and killings by the Yangsan army brought drastic changes to the power stratification within Goryeo. The attack of the Liangshan army was different from the earlier invasion of the Liao State, the latter was to strike at the local government with the central government, but the former only hit the central government, and the local nobles suffered minor losses. The political struggle is cruel, and the politicians are greedy, and no one will give up the opportunity to take advantage of it, right?
The latter is equivalent to profit.
Therefore, I heard that there will be a change in the position of the head of the sea east of the Liang Mountain Thieves, whether it is the royal family or the local strength, they have sent people to come.
Since the previous national change, Li Ziyin came to Ganghwa Island, which was occupied by Liangshan thieves, for the first time. His first impression was neat, the dock was as clean as his family yard, and the flow of people was orderly.
"Seventh brother, you see, it's beautiful."
Li Ziyun shouted loudly. This person is the youngest of the Li family in Renzhou, who is less than thirty years old, and is not much older than Li Zhimei. And Li Zhimei is Li Ziqian's eldest son.
In the past, they were all in Kaijing, but on the same day, the city was broken, Li Ziqian wanted to call back Renzhou to control the family, and at the same time form an army, who said that Renzhou was a stone's throw away from Kaijing. Now it's just out of Wang Mata's control.
The important figures of the two factions of the Li clan in Inju gathered on Ganghwa Island, and the Li family's plan was very large.
And just as Li Ziyin and Li Ziyun were greeted in the carriage, Li Zhimei was about to ask the servant to drive to the residence, when he saw Li Ziyin's expression suddenly change, and a pair of eyes looked straight at the sea. Li Zhizhi turned her head to look, and saw two Han-style sea ships emerging from the sea level.
Not long after, the sound of military drums suddenly sounded in the port, and then Li Ziyin saw the public on duty at the wharf, wearing black leather and red armbands, frantically blowing the copper whistle in their mouths one by one, shouting to drive away all the idle people at the wharf.
"What is this?" Li Ziyin was puzzled.
Li Zhimei's face also flashed gloomy, and she replied, "Uncle doesn't know anything. Here the Liangshan thieves are transporting young men and women to our Haidong by boat, all of whom are prisoners of war captured by defeating the official army of the Great Song Dynasty in the process of their rise. There were nearly 100,000 people. ”
"A shipload arrives at the office, and then Ganghwa Island turns to Tamna Island at the southern end. The family of Nafu has already gone to Ganghwa Island with the Han boat. Li Zhimei spoke with an inexplicable disdain.
You must know that this Tamna has been a vassal state of Goryeo since ancient times. In the previous dynasty, the king of Silla conferred his lord as the star lord, and Goryeo extended the precedent of Silla, and still called the king of Tamna the star lord. It was not until the tenth year of the Wanghao Dynasty (i.e., 1105) that Goryeo began to transform Tamna into a county, but the title of Star Lord was still preserved and allowed to be hereditary.
It's just that the Nafu clan was 'invited' by the king of Goryeo to live in Kaegyung.
That's it, the opening of Beijing was damaged that day, and the Goryeo magnates took care of themselves and were too busy, who could take care of the Fu family? After the situation stabilized, no one mentioned Fu's. When the Liangshan thieves said that they wanted to Tamluo County, they were eager to come, but it was too late. The Fu clan had already boarded the ship of the Liangshan Army.
"The reason for this is that my nephew just knew." Li Zhimei said with a three-point smugness: "Uncle probably doesn't know that my Li family lives on the island, and an adjacent house is the residence of Fu Xiaoren. ”
Fu Xiaoren, that is, the current Tamna Star Lord. ()
