Chapter 137: Wu Dalang's Return (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for the First Order)
The war between Wang's Goryeo and the Jurchens really happened!
Goryeo Sujong, now the king of Goryeo, Wang Hee, twice sent troops to the northern expedition against the Jurchens, hoping to seize the Jurchen tribe-controlled area of Holadian, which was later the area of Hamheung-do in North Korea. However, at this time, Goryeo also learned from the Song Dynasty, emphasizing literature over military force, and its military strength was weak, so the two Northern Expeditions ended in failure.
However, Goryeo Sujong did not give up, and accepted the suggestion of the minister Yoon Jong, the governor of the Privy Council of Goryeo (he was a civilian official, the champion of Goryeo, but he was very good at military training), and trained the new army "Bewu Class" to improve military strength.
However, by the time the Bewuban was completed, Sujong of Goryeo had already died of illness, and the enthroned Ruizong delayed for two years, and it was not until 1107 that Yin Qian was sent as the marshal to lead the Bewuban Northern Expedition to Haoladian. As a result, he achieved a phased victory, expanding the land for 300 li, capturing and beheading more than 10,000 Jurchens, and building nine cities on the captured land.
The Goryeo victory did not last long, and the then daughter Zhijiedu envoy Wanyan Ushuya listened to the advice of his younger brother Aguta, sent troops to counterattack Holadian, and in 1109 defeated the Goryeo army led by Wu Yeon-chung (Goryeo Jinshi, a native of Haeju in the Song Dynasty), and then the Goryeo Kingdom and the Jurchens negotiated peace and abandoned Hola-dian.
In other words, the war between Goryeo and Jurchen continued for seven years (1102-1109), and in the end, Goryeo was defeated with nothing. But he didn't lose too much, and he wasn't beaten as "South Goryeo". Perhaps it was precisely because of the results of this "Seven Years' War" that the Jurchens did not dare to underestimate Goryeo. Later, in the course of the Liao-Jin War, Baoju (Yiju), which originally belonged to the Liao State, was ceded to Goryeo, so that the territory of Goryeo reached the south of the Yalu River.
In general, Goryeo's performance in the struggle with the Jurchens was much better than that of the Song Dynasty......
However, Wu Haogu did not know this history, and he did not have much to think about the war between the Jurchens and the Goryeo people now. Because he can now see the tall and solid walls of Kaifeng Mansion!
The snow stopped, and the afternoon sun shone down, turning the exterior walls of Kaifeng Mansion into a majestic golden yellow.
The official road is also lively, with endless traffic of cars, horses and pedestrians, creating a vibrant scene on this cold winter day.
Not far away, black smoke rises from the city of Kaifeng, where someone is burning coal for heating. The metropolis of more than a million people relies on coal, or coal, for heating in winter. As a result, in winter, the sky over the city is filled with smoke, and from a distance it looks like a city that has entered the early stage of industrialization.
Looking at the sky polluted by soot, Wu Haogu's heart swelled with the urge to return to his heart like an arrow. After months of traveling, I wonder if my home will be well? Did Daddy Wu Chengzhi remarry Feng Erniang? Did my brother Wu Haowen find a way to enter Taixue?
And also...... What is Pan Qiaolian doing at this time?
It must be at home looking through the autumn water, waiting for his martial brother to return, right?
Thinking of this, Wu Dalang's heart immediately swelled up with a sweet feeling. A lot of important things to do in the future for the country and the people seem to have become hazy. For the current Wu Haogu, first seeking an official body, then hugging the thigh of the king Zhao Ji, and finally marrying Pan Qiaolian in a beautiful manner, are the three major events in life.
After completing these three major events, Wu Haogu can be regarded as taking root and settling down in this era. In this way, there will be a future, and there will be motivation to fight for the future world.
Seeing that the north gate of the outer city of Kaifeng Mansion was getting closer and closer, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, who were walking side by side with Wu Haogu, looked at the majestic city gate, and their eyes flashed with excitement.
I'm home, and I'm home!
Guo Jing bought a house before leaving Kaifeng Mansion, and he really settled down in Kaifeng Mansion!
Liu Wuji gave the money to Yan Po'er, who was good with him, and asked her to take down the house in Yihongyuan, and Liu Wuji will be a partner of Yihongyuan in the future, and it will be regarded as his home......
What's more, Wu Haogu also arranged a road to heaven for them, if they can really climb to His Royal Highness the Upper Duan, the future future will be unlimited!
Some people rejoice, and some people are sad.
Lin Wancheng and Lin Chong, who walked at the end of the team, were both worried.
Returning to Kaifeng Mansion means that the combined income of the two fathers and sons is 240 yuan a month.
Left Beijing in June and November, and traveled on the road for a total of five months, and the two fathers and sons had little money, and they were able to save a total of 1,200 yuan.
Combined with the money saved by the two fathers and sons, there are already three thousand seven or eight hundred...... The cheapest house in the outer city of Kaifeng Mansion can already be bought in half.
But where is the other half?
This warrior is a great god of wealth, when will he come out of Kaifeng Mansion again?
"Lao Lin Sect Leader is coming back this time, do you have any plans?"
Wu Haogu suddenly opened his mouth at this time and asked Lin Wancheng, who had a sad face.
"Ah, I don't have any plans at the moment, so I'd better go back to the camp and continue to be the head of the sect."
It is better to have a head than not, and there are dozens of miscellaneous things a month. It's a pity that the old Lin sect leader is already old, and he can't do it for a few years.
Once he returns home, then Lin Chong will be the only one left in the family to make money.
When the time comes, the house will be even less hopeful......
Thinking of this, the old Lin sect leader was already shaking with tears in his eyes.
"You can't work in the barracks for a few years at your old age, right?"
Lao Lin Sect Leader sighed, "If you can do it, do it." ”
"If you can't do it, how about I ask you to be a guard?" Wu Haogu said, "I'll give you one hundred and fifty taels for a month, and you'll have all the food and accommodation, are you willing?" ”
"What? As a guard? I? ”
Old Lin Tou never thought that Wu Haogu would ask him to be a guard. It's not that he's not confident in his abilities, it's that a lot of his age is obvious.
The rich and noble families in Kaifeng Mansion invite guards and bodyguards, and they are generally young, strong, and good-looking, such as Lin Chong and Lu Qian are the most popular.
After all, there are very few fights and killings in Kaifeng Mansion, and the bodyguards are mainly used to watch.
But he is a white-bearded old man, and it doesn't look good to pull it out!
"What, don't want to?" Wu Haogu saw that the other party did not react, so he asked again.
He actually listened to Ma Zhi's suggestion and wanted to hire Lin Wancheng as the old coach - the old Lin Tou trained a fierce general like Lin Chong, which shows that he has real skills.
When his career grows bigger in the future, he starts to raise "Scouts" and open the Six Arts Academy, and this old man will be able to come in handy.
It would be nice if I could train ten "Lin Chong" for myself - all martial arts are "small classes", a master teaches more than ten or twenty apprentices, ten of which can be a teacher, and each student has to invest a lot of teaching funds. What kind of equipment, horses, protective gear, and of course a large field.
Therefore, the training cost of excellent knights and grassroots officers in the era of cold weapons is very high!
"Yes, yes...... How unwillingly? Lin Wancheng was overjoyed, "As soon as I go back, I will go to the barracks to say goodbye!" ”
Wu Haogu smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, wait until I buy a good Zhuangzi outside Kaifeng Mansion and you can come again...... By the way, do you want to give you a two-year salary advance? ”
Wu Haogu's salary is 1,800 taels a year, and 3,600 taels for two years. He asked Lin Wancheng to advance, which was to help Lin Chong buy a house and solve his personal problems.
A strong man like Lin Chong must not be left behind, because of the catastrophe more than 20 years later, thousands of "Lin Chong" are needed to defend Chinese civilization!
So Lin Chong still hurried to marry a wife and have children, at least five sons......
