Junior 5

Since the capture of the first outlet to the sea, trade with the outside world has been managed by Du Gui. He was born in a merchant family and knew that his knowledge was limited, so he really worked hard to understand the situation of coastal countries. According to Du Gui's knowledge, the Goryeo in the mouth of Wei Dingguo, the city patrol officer at this moment, was a small country in the east of the Great Song Dynasty and one of the vassals of the Northern Yuan. Although the name of the country is Goryeo, it has nothing to do with the ancient Goguryeo kingdom that was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, it has an indissoluble bond with the small border country of Silla. In history, "The Tang Dynasty declined, Silla was in turmoil, and the Gong descendants established themselves as kings, and the country was called Mohuan." Later, he killed Wang Jianzhi, built Goryeo, and set the capital Songcheng. ”

After the founding of the Goryeo state, it has been taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains to expand its territory, and insatiably pushed the border to the Yalu River, which annoyed the newly rising Mongolia. Ögedei Khan sent the general Salita to attack, and the Goryeo people surrendered. Salita withdrew his troops and returned home, and the king of Goryeo rebelled. After several repetitions, Goryeo completely became a vassal state of Mongolia. and actively helped the Mongols build warships and train sailors, turning from a victim into a powerful eagle dog for the Mongols to attack the Song Dynasty in the south. And the Mongol Khan also knew to reward the evil dog with bones from time to time as a reward for his loyalty. Not only did he send troops to help the king of Goryeo suppress the rebellion in the country, but he also successively rewarded him with Tamna (Jeju Island) and Seogyong (Pyongyang). (Note to alcoholics: From the perspective of historical changes, the current territory of Korea should be inherited from Silla, and the north should go up to Pyongyang.) Now they count Northeast China as part of South Korea, and this algorithm is very shameless. ）

In Du Gui's impression, the trade between the Great Song and Goryeo was very small, and it was mostly carried out in the form of private transactions. Although the journey from the two major commercial ports of Fuzhou and Quanzhou to Goryeo was not far, and the sea conditions along the way were relatively calm, most of the maritime merchants were reluctant to interact with the Koreans. On the one hand, the reason for this was that the king of Goryeo was afraid of Mongolia and did not allow domestic merchants to conduct large-scale trade with the Great Song maritime merchants, and the deeper reason was that the quality of Goryeo goods was too poor. The items sold by the Koreans looked shiny on the surface, but they deteriorated within a few days of use. At a time when Fujian did not produce knives for civilian use on a large scale, there were still Korean merchants who came to Hong Kong to trade fake Japanese knives. After the emergence of large-scale hydraulic workshops in Fujian, Quanzhou and other places, the counterfeit and shoddy products of the Korean people were no longer marketable. Every time the ship came, it was just some linen cloth, medicinal herbs, etc., which really couldn't be sold for much price.

"A large number of maritime merchants came, and they also asked to see the prime minister, what do they want to do?" Du Gui was a little suspicious of the origin of this group of maritime merchants. Driven by commercial interests, there is only one possibility of the origin of these maritime merchants, they were Goryeo officials, not merchants, at least, they came on a special mission.

Thinking like this, before I knew it, the carriage had already gone to the outside of the Metropolitan Governor's line. Du Gui jumped out of the carriage and was just about to take a step towards the line when he saw the chief of staff Zeng Huan hurriedly running out of the car.

"Master Du is back, let's go in quickly. Master Wen has something to arrange for you! Seeing Du Gui, Zeng Huan's footsteps slowed down and said in a low voice.

"Go right away, what's the matter?" Du Gui saw that Zeng Huan's face was not very good-looking, and asked in surprise.

"A group of Goryeo people came, claiming to be envoys of the king of Goryeo, and they were very arrogant. The prime minister ordered them to be driven out, and they stayed at the post house and did not leave. It's troublesome......" Zeng Huan shook his head and said, the expression on his face full of disdain.

"Kick them out?" Du Gui felt even more strange. In the more than three years he has been with Wen Tianxiang, he has rarely seen the other party get so angry. Even when Li Guida surrendered and western Fujian was bloodbathed by Dachun, the prime minister maintained due courtesy. What did this group of Koreans say, causing such a big storm?

With a stomach full of questions, Du Gui walked to the inner hall where Wen Tianxiang often worked. I saw that Yan Jingyuan, the chief of the guard, who came back one step earlier than him, Chen Longfu, the pacification envoy of Fujian, and Liu Zijun, the director of supervision, and others were all there, and everyone's faces were swarthy, as if they had just had a bad anger with someone.

"Report to Prime Minister, Master Du is back!" Seeing Du Gui's figure from a distance, Wan Yan Jingyuan reported loudly.

"Come in, Ziju, we're waiting for you. How is the redundant affairs arranged, and is it still going well? Wen Tianxiang heard Du Gui's name, put down the affairs in his hand, and asked with concern.

"Fortunately, everyone is a knowledgeable person, although they are not happy, they have all accepted the Prime Minister's arrangement!" Du Gui concisely told the process of persuading everyone to go to Shaowu, and did not mention how Ye Xu and the others made things difficult for themselves at that time.

After listening to Du Gui, Wen Tianxiang nodded with satisfaction and commanded. "It's good to be willing to go, they read a lot, and if they are willing to put their mind to it, they should learn things faster than others! Let this matter go for now, and now there are more troublesome things for you to do! He appreciated Du Gui's handling of the issue of redundant official placement, and in his eyes, Du Gui was a rare talent. Although he doesn't read much, his open-mindedness and ability to deal with things are far above some of the so-called "celebrities" of this era.

"But by the Prime Minister's orders!" Du Gui unconsciously straightened his chest and said loudly. Being so appreciated by the prime minister, he felt very proud in his heart. looked at the expressions of Liu Zijun and the others, and hurriedly added in a low voice, "I am willing to do my best, and I will definitely live up to the expectations of the prime minister and all the adults!" ”

"It's not that serious, okay, everyone laughs, can't be angry with those people!" Wen Tianxiang first calmed down everyone's emotions, and then introduced to Du Gui: "A group of Goryeo merchants came, but they claimed to be envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom. They took some worthless things but wanted to exchange them for our big ships, and demanded that we restrict the entry and exit of ships in and out of the port, and not allow them to trade in the seas near Goryeo. I was angry, so I ordered them to be driven out into the street. Later, I checked with everyone and felt that there was an article behind this. That's why we need to get out of the horse and touch their details! ”

"Does the prime minister think they have nothing to fear?" Du Guixiao's naked eyes narrowed, and he immediately thought of the crux of the matter.

"Yes, Lord Chen analyzed just now, as someone else's eagle dog, the master hasn't spoken yet, but he pounces on himself to pounce, this move is really too strange......" Liu Zijun nodded, and told Du Gui what happened just now and everyone's analysis.

The name of the chief envoy who came to Goryeo was Song Tong, and the name of the deputy envoy was Wang Quan. According to themselves, they came to Kanhe Trade on the orders of the King of Goryeo. I want to be a brotherly country with the Great Song Dynasty, but I hope that the Great Song Dynasty will give them 50,000 taels of silver every year as a friendship fee. At the same time, it is hoped that a batch of inferior lacquerware will be exchanged for a new type of sea ship.

Of course, they were embarrassed to talk about the trade, but said that the sea ships were used as a return gift to the king of Goryeo.

"Business is not like business, and officials are not like officials, it's really strange!" Liu Zijun said suspiciously, "Ziju has a lot of dealings with these foreign countries, go over and take a look, you should know their exact identity!" ”

"And if they want to blackmail us, send envoys? Why hide it and come under the banner of a merchant! Chen Zijing added on the side, he had just taken over Liu Zijun's enemy intelligence collection work, and he did a very conscientious job. However, the intelligence department's efforts were mainly focused on the Northern Yuan, and they really didn't know much about what had happened in overseas countries recently.

"I heard that the king of Goryeo, Wang Cho, had recently married the daughter of Kublai Khan, and in order to show his loyalty, he changed his name to Wang Tan. They dare to be so arrogant, it is estimated that it has something to do with gaining power in front of the Northern Yuan. Du Gui thought about it and quickly gave the latest rumors about the Goryeo Kingdom. The Northern Yuan implemented a policy of restraint in Goryeo, appointing the king of Goryeo as the king of Daewon Chungyeol and administering Goryeo on behalf of Daewon. At the same time, several Daru Hwachi were also appointed to garrison Goryeo. It is rumored in the market that before marrying the princess of the Northern Yuan, the king of Goryeo had to rush forward to bow when he saw the Daru Huachi of the Northern Yuan. After marrying the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he felt that his waist was stiff, and he dared to sit side by side with the Yuan general.

This kind of thing is considered a shame in the eyes of the Song people, but the Goryeo people who can boast about it for three years after eating a meal of beef feel very honored. Although the current peace was exchanged for being a son-in-law, after all, he had a relationship with a strong man. (Alcoholic's note: Goryeo lacks cattle, so beef can only be eaten by the upper class.) Until now, beef prices have been expensive)

"Therefore, I think this matter can be viewed from two angles, one is that the Goryeo dog is taking advantage of the human power and wants to take advantage of the support of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to reap the benefits of my Great Song Dynasty. Another possibility is that the king of Goryeo tried to establish contact with the Great Song Dynasty in order to have a chance to fight against the Northern Yuan in the future. After introducing the situation in Goryeo, Du Gui concluded. (Please support the drunkards to 17k)

"You dry them for a few days, and when they're in a hurry, talk to them again. Those people brought goods and claimed to be the best in the world. You can also see if it's worth making another deal with them. Sea vessels are absolutely not givable, and equivalent cargo can be considered. You deal with them carefully, and by the way, inquire about the latest information of the Mongol army in Goryeo! After thinking about Du Gui's analysis together, Wen Tianxiang ordered.

Du Gui took the order and left, and the atmosphere in the room quickly returned to solemnity. The eyes of Liu Zijun, Chen Zijing, Chen Longfu and others fell one after another on the coastal map that the staff officers had just laid out.

The Goryeo people not only relied on the power of the Northern Yuan to cause trouble, but they dared to come to the door to threaten them, and in addition to the power of the Northern Yuan, they should have other reliance.

Wen Tianxiang frowned, and his face slowly began to turn cold. Today, he didn't know why he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart when he heard the word Goryeo. It was as if there was a deep hatred buried in his heart, which controlled his thinking, making it impossible for him to calm down and make judgments about the true purpose of the Goryeo people.

"Even if the Koreans really wanted to help the abuse, I am afraid they would not be able to do it. We are a few days away from Goryeo, and if he wants to cross the sea to attack, he may not be able to pass the level of the sailor! After thinking for a while, Chen Longfu said in a low voice. Our Broken Captive Army's biggest advantage over the Northern Yuan is now on the sea, Goryeo is a vassal state of the Northern Yuan, and the strength of the naval division should be worse than that of the Northern Yuan. If he really wants to take advantage of the war between Yuan and Song, he should also think about whether he has enough strength. ”

"I'm not afraid that he doesn't have the strength, but what I'm afraid of is that he can't recognize his own catties. Attacking Fujian, Goryeo was overwhelmed. But if he sends troops to harass the northern sea trade routes, we can't prevent it! Although Goryeo believes that although he is a slave of the Mongols, he has always behaved worse than the Mongols! Liu Zijun shook his head and said worriedly.

The Korean people admired Han culture, so they could speak Chinese a lot. With this ability, they have always been very comfortable in the Northern Yuan army. The Mongols burned and looted everywhere, and the Koreans served as their "interpreters" or microphones, reaping the benefits of all directions.

A wave of anger surged into Wen Tianxiang's heart again, and endless killing intent came from the depths of his memory, tearing at his internal organs like a poisonous snake. He finally understood why he had such a deep prejudice against the Koreans. This hatred does not come from reality, but from Wen Zhong's memory. (Please support the drunkards to 17k)

In Wen Zhong's memory, it was this nation known as Goryeo that followed the Japanese into China. From the three northeastern provinces to the south of the Yangtze River, their sinful figures can be seen everywhere. With their fluency in Chinese and familiarity with the habits of the Chinese people, they have done all the bad things. So much so that there is a saying among the Chinese people, "The Japanese devil who kills people, the Goryeo stick that peels the skin!" ”

Japanese devils like to kill innocents indiscriminately, but Japanese devils are not familiar with China, and many times they cannot find a place for people to hide. The Koreans, who had lived in China for many years after the fall of their country, were familiar with every plant and tree. With this, they act as eyeliners, thugs, and sometimes more brutal than the Japanese in their means of doing bad things.

The two different angers coincided in one place, which made Wen Tianxiang quickly make a decision. Tapping lightly on the map, he whispered, "Whatever their plans, it's better to be prepared." First let the sailor go to Fuzhou to be on guard, let the Fang family also prepare, and when Zeng Huan comes back, let him take the staff officers to draw up a battle plan. When the time is right, the sailor has to escort the caravan to Goryeo to see what kind of capital these people are clamoring for! ”

The eastern sea will have to be cleaned up sooner or later. Whether it is to fight the Northern Yuan, or for its own development.

Chen Longfu and the others were stunned, obviously they didn't expect Wen Tianxiang to make the decision to prepare to send troops so quickly. Everyone made eye contact with each other, and they all felt that now was not a good time to make enemies.

The Provisional Statute had just been passed, and the Metropolitan Governor's Office had just formally established its authority over the world. Within the Great Song Dynasty, there are too many things that need to be straightened out, and at this time, rashly crossing the sea to the east will leave countless opportunities for internal and external opponents.

"Prime Minister, the last general feels that this matter needs to be cautious!" After a moment of silence, Liu Zijun stepped forward to persuade. He brought a stack of very important information to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion today. According to the detailed feedback of the Supervision Yuan in the placement, the action of cutting redundant officials is too drastic and the local power arrangement is too tilted towards the internal part of the army, which has led to the dissatisfaction of many people. Some people with intentions have secretly contacted each other and vowed to use all means to regain power for the Great Song Emperor. There are also a few heavyweights who are ostensibly very moderate to the policies of the metropolitan government, and they also plan to adopt "extraordinary" actions to "eliminate traitors for the country" in the same way that the Great Song Dynasty dealt with the prime minister.

Although neither group has put their intentions into practice so far, the number of people involved and the breadth of their involvement far exceed any previous power struggle. (Please support the drunkards to 17k)

This is another reason for the heavy mood of the people.

Today's Da Song is like a person who has recovered from a long illness, and he may fall down again at any time. Although the Prime Minister's Office has recently succeeded in integrating the forces of all parties, although under the joint suppression of the army and the officials of the Prime Minister's Office, everyone has passed an unprecedented treaty. But that's just the beginning.

The Provisional Covenant is not the ultimate goal, it is only a contract, a contract that integrates the forces of all parties to the greatest extent. All the contradictions faced by the Great Song Dynasty cannot be completely resolved by one or several conferences, it is just a means, a means to help the Great Song Dynasty get out of the predicament.

Nowhere can be done once and for all, and before the conference was held, the Metropolitan Governor's Office was only nominally dominated by the anti-Yuan. In addition to this, other problems have not diminished, but have gradually increased with the process of integrating forces.

In a short period of time, the Metropolitan Governor's Office needed to ensure that Naiyan in the north could compete with Kublai Khan, so that the main force of the Northern Yuan could not move south; The Metropolitan Governor's Office needed to solve the food problems that plagued Fujian and Liangguang and ensure the needs of the people and the army; The Metropolitan Government needs to make money, it needs to support new industries, and it needs to cultivate supporters for itself; The Metropolitan Governor's Office also needs to keep its eyes open to prevent someone from usurping power in the name of the royal family and inciting civil strife ......, all of which boils down to one sentence, the Metropolitan Governor's Office needs to ensure that it has to accumulate enough strength in the shortest possible time to ensure that it has to accumulate enough strength at the moment when it has to fight a decisive battle with the power of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Everything has just begun, and the Koreans came to stumble at this time. This cold rain and wind come late, can the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion survive it? (Please support the drunkards to 17k)

Wen Tianxiang looked at Liu Zijun, and then at the stack of top-secret reports on the desk, and there was obviously a little hesitation on his face.

What is more troublesome than the Korean people's sideways intervention is the contradiction from within the Great Song Dynasty. It is necessary to send redundant officials to Shaowu to study and practice. The success or failure of this strategy is not only related to whether the Dadu Governor's Office can smoothly integrate the forces that originally belonged to the Xing Dynasty, but also how to make the scholars from all over the country, tens of thousands of Jinshi and hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars better used by the new policy after recovering some of the lost territory in the future.

Although these scholars are pedantic, although they are useless in learning. But they received the best education of this era, and to some extent, the thousand-year-old civilization of China was passed on through their hands. If this problem can be successfully solved, the promotion of the New Deal will be unstoppable, and if this problem is not solved, even if the New Deal is forcibly promoted under the might of the military. I am afraid that the Chinese civilization will also face a big fracture, and I don't know how much time it will take for future generations to repair this rift.

Sending them to study at Shaowu Academy is only the first step, and the next step is to take time to make them realize that times have changed. It is no longer the era when Mrs. Kong made the Analects. Foreign pressures and internal contradictions require Confucianism and its inheritors to adapt and change their own ideas, rather than clinging to the inadequate.

If from the first step, someone has already tried to resist with violence. Is there any hope for the next integration work? (Please support the drunkards to 17k)

Is it also for the prosperity of the country, as long as the political views are different, do you have to shed thousands of miles?

Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty, which regained a chance to survive, still has to repeat the "benevolent government" of the previous dynasties, which was benevolent externally and cruel internally?

Wen Tianxiang had no answer in his heart.

"Why don't you give them another chance? Whether it is for Goryeo or a few adults, after all, they have not taken further action, and the culpability is not yet obvious! Chen Longfu hesitated and put forward his own suggestion. He was a little unbearable with Liu Zijun's suggestion that extraordinary measures should be taken immediately to nip all problems in the bud.

After speaking, he cautiously looked at Wen Tianxiang's face, lest he hear a word.

He didn't hear Wen Tianxiang's answer, only a long sigh. It's heavy, so heavy that it feels breathless.

After sighing, Wen Tianxiang settled down like an old monk, and all the joys, sorrows, and joys on his face returned to nothingness.

In Wen Zhong's experience, there is a plan to cut through the mess with a quick knife. However, Wen Tianxiang couldn't make up his mind to adopt it. He knew that he did not have the same determination that Wen Zhong had when he defended his faith. (Please support the drunkards to 17k)

To his own people, he can't do anything.

Those who have lived and died with the dynasty are not rebellious or soft-skinned, and their personalities are far nobler than those who see the wind and make the helmsman. But their stubbornness, and the resistance they brought to the New Deal, far exceeded that of the average mediocrity.

Those who are as stubborn as them may be more than a million in the world. Did the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion cut all the way until the last man who dared to tell the truth fell?

If not, what should Da Song do?

Similarly, in the process of revival of the Great Song Dynasty, there will be countless small surrounding countries like Goryeo. The instinct to survive in the cracks was destined to take advantage of the might of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at some point and become an obstacle to the revival of the Great Song Dynasty.

How should Da Song deal with these things?

There is no fixed answer, and there is no solution that can be adopted to resolve all contradictions. The words of the saints are not, and neither can the temporary covenants.

Everything has just begun, and groping in the dark is always the most confusing and difficult.

The sound of breathing in the room gradually became heavier, Wen Tianxiang, Chen Longfu, and Liu Zijun thought, thought, and looked for that possible glimmer of light in the dark.

A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Yan Jingyuan, the head of the guard, couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere in the room, and took the opportunity to run out. In a moment, he stumbled back with a sweat-soaked bodyguard.

"In the chaos of the South Seas, the country of Gelang attacked our merchant fleet in Hong Kong and cut off the sea route. Burn two of our grain ships and kill more than 60 sailors! The bodyguard took out a blood-stained white silk from his arms and held it high in front of Wen Tianxiang.
