These merchants looked at the departing ships and the big ships that sailed into the port, and their hearts were extremely eager, in their eyes, these big ships were loaded with gold and silver treasures, and now Goryeo has spared no expense in exchange for the support of the Great Song Dynasty in order to resist the menacing Jurchens.

Thinking of this, these merchants are also a little anxious, now it is winter, if there are no big ships of the imperial court, it is easy for other ships to go to sea and have accidents, once something happens, it will really be a loss.

"My lord, when can we load it on the ship? Those cotton clothes and other items are fine, but grain and the like are easy to spoil after a long time. The merchant officials on the side looked over the scroll in their hands, pondered, and said, "Tomorrow night, I will ask the dock workers to load it for you overnight, but you will have to pay more for the wages, so that you can go to sea the day after tomorrow." ”

"Okay, we'll listen to the adults, and we'll pay three times as much as they're willing to carry them overnight!" a few merchants gritted their teeth and said directly.

"Well, then you guys get ready!" the official said before leaving, as a giant iron-clad ship on the dock sailed towards Goguryeo.

On this big ship were a group of students of the Martial Arts Hall and hundreds of ironclad guards, and these students of the Martial Arts Hall went to the battlefield of Goryeo to observe the great battle between Goryeo and the Jurchens, so that they could accumulate experience.

The soldiers on the warship went to Kaijing, the capital of Goryeo, because the Great Song Dynasty had established a concession in Kaijing, and these soldiers went to the Modao camp in Kaijing, which was also at the request of the Goryeo Dynasty, and the concession in Goryeo had a certain scale, and the wealthy families and dignitaries of the Goryeo Dynasty had taken refuge in the concession to prevent the menacing Jurchens from attacking Kaijing.

Leading this ironclad battalion is the general Guang Wennan, who is also the first veteran to follow Zhao Shu, and the one who followed Guang Wennan is Hu Quan, a bachelor of Hanlin, who had been an envoy to Goryeo in his early years, and many nobles in Goryeo have intersections.

"Master Hu, don't you say that this Goguryeo is very powerful? I heard that Tang Taizong didn't beat them, why is he facing the Jurchens so!"

Guang Wennan looked at Hu Quan in front of him and couldn't help asking, for the Goguryeo people, his impression was still in the early Tang Dynasty.

Hearing Guang Wennan's words, Hu Quan couldn't help laughing and said: "This Goguryeo today is not Goguryeo at that time, if the general is willing to listen, the old man will tell the general about the history of this Goryeo." ”

When Guang Wennan heard Hu Quan's words, he couldn't help but look at him, this Hu Quan was only about forty, but he was unwilling in his early years, he was oppressed by Cai Jing and others, and his face was old, but Guang Wennan knew that this Hu Quan was extremely old, and he could barely be called, so he smiled and said: "Sir, please say, I can also listen to the history of Goguryeo, so as not to cause any jokes after going to Goguryeo." ”

Guang Wennan was delicate, followed Zhao Shu in his early years, and was also a general with great military achievements, and he attached great importance to entering Goguryeo this time.

Guangwennan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "General, the country where Goguryeo is located, called Jizi Korea in ancient times, is the uncle of the last king of the Shang Dynasty Jizi After King Wu of Zhou fell, he led 5,000 remnants of the Shang Dynasty to move east to the north of the Korean Peninsula with the etiquette and system of the Shang Dynasty

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Lu Juan fled to the Xiongnu, and his subordinate Wei Man fled to Jizi Korea, and later usurped power to establish Wei Manchu Korea, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked Korea, that is, it was divided into Lelang County, Xuansu County, Zhenfan County, and Lintun County, which were collectively called "Han Four Counties".

Speaking of this, Hu Quan smiled faintly, reached out and picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip gently, and said with a smile on his face: "General, the next thing is Goguryeo, which the general knows." ”

Guang Wennan felt that this old man was too long-winded, but he couldn't say anything, so he smiled and said: "Sir, let's say, the last general will listen to you!"

Guang Wennan was very satisfied with this audience, and after putting down the teacup, he smiled and dipped his hand in water and drew a simple map on the table: "General, this is the four counties of the Han Dynasty, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, during the Three Kingdoms period, the Central Plains Dynasty was in turmoil, and Zhu Meng, the prince of the Buyeo tribe who was attached to the Han, took the opportunity to establish a regime within the jurisdiction of Xuansu County in the Western Han Dynasty, this is Goguryeo, with the establishment of Goguryeo!"

Hu Quan pointed to one of the maps formed by water stains, and then pointed to the other three counties, and said: "The other three counties also rebelled, and the later Baekje and Silla were formed. However, this Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, received the displaced people, absorbed the scholars of the Central Plains, and gradually became a powerful power in the hundreds of years of development, when the Sui Dynasty unified the Central Plains, this Goguryeo already had the strength to threaten the Central Plains Dynasty, forcing the Sui Yang Emperor and Tang Taizong to conquer with the strength of the country, otherwise when Goguryeo was too strong to stop, the Central Plains Dynasty would be in danger, after all, this is a big country, not like the Xiongnu and the Turks, just barbarians who live by water and grass, once Goryeo invades, it is not just as simple as plundering, it will invade the land and capture the Central Plains！”

Guang Wennan heard the threat of Goguryeo clearly, and interjected: "It's like that Great Liao and the current Jurchen, who forced my Central Plains Dynasty to decline for hundreds of years. ”

Hu Quan smiled and said: "Yes, that's the reason, so after Tang Taizong, Tang Gaozong continued to send troops and finally destroyed Goguryeo." Xue Rengui established the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate in the old land of Goguryeo and Baekje, and set up the Xiongjin Imperial Protectorate in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula, but after the decline of the Tang Dynasty, after the King of Silla fought with the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty withdrew from the peninsula, and Silla occupied the entire Korean Peninsula.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Silla declined, the government was corrupt, and the major tribes and peasants in the country revolted, entering a period of full-scale civil strife.

There were many anti-Silla forces in various places, such as Yuanzong and Ainu in Shavar Prefecture, Yangji in Bukwon, Zhen Xuan in Wanshan Prefecture, Gong Descendant in Cheorwon, Jixuan in Juju, etc., and finally the Bow Descendants of Cheorwon won and established Later Goguryeo, but after the death of the Bow Descendants, his subordinate Wang Jian rebelled and established today's Goryeo, so strictly speaking, Goryeo is not the Goguryeo that we talk about. ”

When Guang Wennan heard Hu Quan's words, he couldn't help but say solemnly: "It stands to reason that this Goryeo should also be my land in China, similar to that Jiaozhi, it was all rebellion and independence in the five dynasties, does Your Majesty mean to recapture these places now?"

"Your Majesty has the heart to look at the world, and after the destruction of the Jurchens and Western Xia, he will definitely return this place, but at present, we need to manage this place well, so that Goryeo and my China are close as one, when Goryeo and the Liao State were at war, this Goryeo was at the request of the Liao State, cut off the connection with my China, and now I see my China rising, and come to get close, there is such a good thing there, we want to seize its wealth and talents, promote our Chinese civilization in its country, and let it return to its homeland as soon as possible!"
