Section 0816 Visit to Goguryeo
Cheng Yanjin thought that they had been sent to study how to attack Goguryeo.
"Yes." Hou Junji recognized Cheng Biting Jin's analysis.
Su Dingfang was puzzled: "Could it be?" ”
Hou Junji also came back to his senses and immediately said, "Goguryeo." ”
"Yes." Cheng Yanjin laughed: "That's it, attack and defense are one, and there must be a strategy of attacking Goguryeo by sea and land, Lao Cheng thinks that this is the matter of the sage arranging for the three of us to come here to study defense." ”
Hou Junji and Su Dingfang glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that it was estimated that there was such a possibility. However, the selection of the site for the construction of the entire Fusang Prefecture and County is also an extremely important matter.
Cheng Yanjin said again: "I'm afraid you don't know, Liumu sent thousands of people to Goguryeo, nominally looking for items that Goguryeo can purchase, you don't believe it and wait, after these people come back, there will definitely be a Goguryeo defense map handed over." ”
Hiss......
This is very amazing, Hou Jun gathered his heart and said: If this is the case, then your mission here must be pondered, and you can understand the true intention of the sage's will, and only then can you be promoted to the rank of knight.
Su Dingfang reminded on the side: "Right now, determining the map of Fusang Road is the first priority. ”
"Yes." Hou Junji and Cheng Yanjin nodded at the same time.
The three of them were sent here because the three of them have the experience of the old road, and the area of Fusang Road is not large, but from the layout and all the small islands on the sea, it belongs to the Great Road, so the land defense here and the map of the whole road need to take time to come out.
The three of them didn't need to discuss it to understand that this job would take at least two years to be busy.
"Then I'll split up." Cheng Yaojin, as the chief officer, began to assign tasks, and he asked Hou Junji to go west, which is west of Nara on the main island of Fuso, and the extent of Ezo Island.
"Is there anyone who is not convinced?"
"Salute first, then soldier." Lao Cheng had Li Shimin's will in his hands and a specific operational scale, so he answered without hesitation.
Su Dingfang is in charge of the eastern part of the main island, Inoyo Nimei Island, Chikushi Island, and Xiaoliuqiu Island.
After the three of them finished discussing, they each led people and began to act separately.
A few days later, Liu Mu and Xiao Yu sailed to Pingcheng, where they would negotiate the final details of the peace contract.
As early as after Yanagi reached a preliminary agreement with Yuan's uncle and nephew, Yanagi sent thousands of people to openly carry out activities in Goguryeo, each of whom brought enough coins and purchased countless Goguryeo-produced goods.
When Yanagi came to Heijo, all of these people also returned to Heijo.
"The county seat of my Sanyuan County is also cleaner than here!"
Listening to Liu Mu, he didn't know whether to complain or ridicule, Xiao Yu chose to ignore it. Xiao Yu doesn't know if Goguryeo is rich or not, but Xiao Yu, the capital of Goguryeo, still understands.
Goguryeo was a pure slave state that was more centralized than the Wa Kingdom.
Except that the nobles are slaves, and all the rights and interests of slaves belong to the nobles to which they belong. There was also a social hierarchy between slaves and nobles, which was in fact considered a high slave, that is, a pro-soldier.
Even the soldiers were slaves.
Yanagi looks down on the stick from the bottom of his bones, and neither the former Goguryeo stick nor the post-Goryeo stick that has nothing to do with the former is not a good bird.
Yanagi remembers a friend who told him a true story.
This friend is from Luochuan, although he is not a local tyrant, but he is also a small family. One day, the owner of the family cut an apple into eight parts, gave him a portion, and told Liu Mu's friend's daughter very caringly, this is an apple, you must not have eaten it, this is very precious.
Yanagi couldn't believe how the girl who went to school at that time felt when she saw the eighths of the apple.
Think about it, the cold storage at her house, the mountains of apples in the library.
Don't say it's an apple, any kind of fruit can be bought by ordinary families, especially the northerners who purchase fruits, it must be a box calculation.
Education in the country of sticks is terrible, which is the primary reason why Yanagi dislikes sticks.
The city gate, which is probably the most luxurious building in Pyeongseong apart from the royal palace and the courtyard of the great nobles, was received by Goguryeo officials from the dock to the city gate, and the Gogur king Ko Jianwu came to greet him.
Xiao Yu and Liu Mu are both dukes of the country, and King Gao Jian must come to greet them in person.
Xiao Yu and Gao Jianwu were talking about the official article, and Liu Mu didn't bother to listen, just observing the palace guards.
Yanagi remembers that there was a discussion about the social structure of Goguryeo in later generations, and the more chaotic the discussion, it was said that it was a pure slave state, and it was also said that it was a semi-slave and semi-feudal, and the former slave was later feudal......
At this time, Yanagi was more convinced that it was a pure slave country.
Because the palace guards and the big noble guards have a very obvious family atmosphere, some people still have branding on their foreheads, and only slaves will have branding.
Gao Jianwu and Xiao Yu didn't hear what Liu Mu said, when Gao Jianwu politely invited Liu Mu to enter the city to rest, Liu Mu nodded with a smile, but he didn't say a word.
At the banquet that day, Yanagi sat from the beginning to the end, only drank a sip of water, ate nothing, drank nothing, and did not speak to anyone.
In the evening, Yuangai Suwen sent Liu Mu to a resting place.
On the way, Yuangai Suwen asked, "Don't you like the food of my Great Goguryeo?" ”
"The prince smiled, I am a person who is greedy for enjoyment, and I like fine clothes and food. Shizi also knows that I am from a poor background, so now I am very fond of luxury. It is easy to go from simple to luxurious, and difficult to go from luxury to simple. ”
Yuangai Suwen smiled awkwardly, he had been to Chang'an, so he naturally knew what the life of the top nobles in Chang'an was.
In the eyes of the great nobles of Chang'an, the Goguryeo Palace was a small courtyard in the countryside.
However, Yuangai Suwen believed that only this kind of hardship made Goguryeo have the determination to fight against the Tang Dynasty, but at this time, he was still somewhat unconvinced, after all, Liu Mu was laughing at him for being poor and sour in Goguryeo.
People in the world don't know that Liu Mu is a poor little carpenter in Sanyuan County, North Chang'an.
Yuangai Suwen said: "I'm ashamed, this hospitality is not good. ”
Liu Mu didn't say anything more, and when he arrived at the rest place, he said a few polite words and then parted.
On the three days of the banquet, Xiao Yu went to participate every day, and returned slightly drunk every day, and Liu Mu never went there except for the first night.
During these three days, Yanagi continued to meet with the people he sent to Goguryeo to purchase.
Each of these people was accompanied by guards sent by the Goguryeo nobles, which was said to be protection but also surveillance.
Everyone met the willow wood in turn, there were scribes who recorded them one by one, each team came in and had refreshments for them, and each team talked unhurriedly about the folk customs they had seen, and all kinds of specialties and so on.
Of so many teams, only one team was specially arranged by Yanagi, and the rest were cover.
On the fifth day of Yanagi's arrival in Goguryeo, the three members of the Goguryeo Yuan clan, Yuantai Tao, Yuangai Suwen, and Yuanjodo came to Liumu's temporary residence.
