In the hot and humid sea breeze, the weather in Licheng Port is extremely cool, but compared to it, the dry heat in the north of the Great Song Dynasty is more comfortable, after all, it is not as humid as here.

The sea ship entered the port of Licheng, went up the northeast along the Licheng River, and then slowly docked.

Huang Shishun stood on the deck, looking at the boats gathered on the river beach, the bustling ferry, the ragged coolies and boatmen, and the vague houses in the distance, still in their original dilapidated appearance.

"Where is the peach Taoist now, the former Liu Lang is here again. Goryeo, I'm here again!"

It's just that he used to be a businessman, but now he is a diplomat of the two rivers.

Yeesung Port, the largest port of the Goryeo Dynasty, was the hub of water and land transportation, and merchants gathered. Because it is located in the southwest of Kaesong, the royal city of Goryeo, it is also very prosperous.

From the Great Song Dynasty to Goryeo, there are two sea routes. The northern route sailed from Dengzhou, Shandong, crossed the Yellow Sea to Jiaodao at the mouth of the Dadong River in North Korea, and then sailed south to the mouth of the Licheng River near Kaijing.

The South Road, sailing from Mingzhou, Zhejiang, sails northeast to reach Black Mountain Island in North Korea, and then sails north, passing through the islands on the southwest coast of the Korean Peninsula, and finally reaches the mouth of the Licheng River.

The northern route between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, Dengzhou-Licheng River Estuary, because it was often threatened by the Liao State, after the middle page of the Northern Song Dynasty, the route between the two countries, from north to south, mainly used the southern route, Mingzhou-Licheng River Estuary.

Since then, the southeast coast of the Great Song Dynasty has become the center of foreign trade of the Song Dynasty and has become increasingly prosperous, and in major locations such as Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, and Mingzhou, the Great Song Dynasty has successively set up "City Shipping Division" to manage trade. Merchants from Quanzhou, Myeongju and other places close to Goryeo lived in Goryeo one after another, and there were hundreds of Chinese merchants in Kaesong, the royal city of Goryeo, and some of them even became Goryeo officials.

"Brother Huang, this Goryeo is like this, although it is a royal city, it is not as good as Mingzhou, not to mention the Daimyo Mansion and Taiyuan City."

After all, Shi Yisheng came to Goryeo for the first time, and there was still a hint of freshness.

Huang Shishun nodded, and continued: "Goryeo Elementary School has been repeatedly warned, and the people's livelihood has withered. Compared with the two rivers, it is indeed much behind. ”

Shi Yisheng looked at the chatter on the boat, and was excitedly watching the subordinates around him, approached Huang Shishun, and said in a low voice:

"Brother Huang, I don't know what Xianggong thinks, why does Xianggong want to ...... in this barren land of Goryeo"

"Today's decision is made, only Liaodong is not a guest, the heir is strong because of the horses, and the ministers are guided to discuss, and the funeral is at the beginning, and I take it from myself, and I will not leave behind the worries of future generations."

Huang Shishun is catchy, and the words are read, and they are loud.

"In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong sent Fang Langzhong Chen Dade to envoy to Goryeo, and met a large number of Han people on the way, and was surrounded by onlookers." The Sui people look at it and cry all over the countryside." After Chen Dade came back, he told Tang Taizong what he had seen. ”

Shi Yisheng was well-read, and naturally knew these classics well, so he continued.

"The four counties of Goryeo, I sent tens of thousands of soldiers to attack Liaodong, he will pour the country to save it, don't send the boat division out of Donglai, from the sea to Pyongyang, water and land combined, it is not difficult to take it."

He said in a deep voice, and his tone was also louder.

"The land of Goryeo, this lonely bamboo country also, the Zhou Dynasty to seal the Jizi, the Han Dynasty was divided into three counties, and the Jin clan also unified Liaodong. Now it is not listed as a foreign land, so the first emperor wants to conquer for a long time. In the land of Liaodong, Zhou is the country of Jizi, and the Xuansu county of the Han family. Before Wei and Jin, they were close to the seal, and they could not be allowed to be disobedient. Xianggong wants to tell everyone that his move is to follow the story of Tang Taizong and eliminate the sorrow for future generations!"

Both of them were happy, and they were obviously infected by Wang Song's ambition.

The Korean Peninsula, which Goryeo occupies, is the homeland of China. During the Warring States period, the Yan State occupied Liaodong. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, four counties were established on the Korean Peninsula, and Goguryeo at that time was only one county of the Han Dynasty. Until the time of the Western Jin Dynasty, this area was

It is a county in China. During the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Goguryeo took advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains and invaded these places.

With the help of the Tang Dynasty, Silla completed the unification of the central and southern parts of the Korean Peninsula, and after the late 8th century, Silla, like its suzerain, the Tang Dynasty, fell into civil strife and decline. At the end of the 9th century, an uprising broke out in Silla and the rule collapsed. Gong and Zhen Xuan established Goguryeo and Baekje respectively, forming a strong trend with Silla, which was surviving in a corner of Jinseong, and was known as the "Later Three Kingdoms" in history.

The founding king of the Goryeo Dynasty, Wang Jian, was born in a wealthy family in Kaesong. Wang Jian staged a mutiny, unified the Korean Peninsula, and established the Goryeo Dynasty as his own monarch with the name of Goryeo.

It's just that when the Goryeo royal family arrived in Wang Kai's generation, wars were frequent, the officials were corrupt and incompetent, expropriated violently, and stripped the land and the people, and the government was like a tiger and leopard to the people, not only the truth, not the people, but only the top. With such a rule, it is inevitable that chaos will occur frequently.

"Brother Huang, one day in the future, our army will definitely be able to take the land of Goryeo, and we will not leave future generations worried!"

"Brother Shi, be cautious!"

Huang Shishun's face changed greatly, and he persuaded in a low voice, his eyes swept around, fortunately, no one helped you.

"Brother Shi, this is Goryeo, not Lianghe, you must pay attention to your words and deeds. In case the Koreans find out, you and I are small in life and death, don't miss the big thing of Xianggong!"

Shi Yisheng said in a low voice: "Brother Huang, rest assured!" I'm just muttering a few words in front of you, and I won't be considerate of others. ”

He suddenly raised his head and said proudly:

"I'm scared when I hear it! My loyal army is in full swing, and the world is intimidating, once the military power comes, it will definitely be devastated, and the army will not be formed, just find an excuse!"

"You, I really can't help you!"

Huang Shishun smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Shi, you are young and vigorous, it is the time to show your strength, remember that trouble comes from your mouth, and you have missed a good future!" Besides, such military affairs are left to the prince to decide, so let's do our duty. ”

Shi Yisheng said yes again and again, but he didn't think so. With the military might of the loyal and righteous army, this Goryeo is a papier-mâché edifice, which will fall down as soon as it is pushed.

Seeing that Shi Yisheng's face was calm and disapproving, Huang Shishun was also helpless, he glanced at the bustling waiting crowd on the ferry, and said with a smile: "Why did he come in person?"

As soon as Huang Shishun and Shi Yisheng landed on the shore, a group of people who were already waiting at the ferry immediately greeted them.

"Brother Xian, why did you come in person, Brother Fool is flattered!"

Huang Shishun stepped forward and saluted a middle-aged man wearing Song costumes, in his forties, with a square face and big eyes, and white and ruddy skin.

"Brother Huang, you are now a new upstart in Lianghe, the right-hand man of Wang Xianggong. Brother, I am also flattered to see you! ”

Shi Yisheng came over and greeted the middle-aged man.

"Brother Shi, let me introduce you, this is a giant businessman in Mingzhou and my friend Liu Yue."

After a few people finished greeting, Huang Shishun looked at the students behind him and explained: "Everyone, the one standing in front of you is a celebrity of the Great Song Dynasty, the maritime merchant Liu Yueliu is in charge, you all come forward to pay respects."

Everyone stepped forward to salute together, Liu Yue nodded again and again, with a smile on her face, very cordial, and her speech was also infectious.

"Everyone, you are rich in learning and five cars, proficient in foreign affairs, you are all pillars of the country, follow Wang Xianggong, the future is thousands of miles, which is very enviable!"

Everyone moved forward, Liu Yue took a step behind, and whispered in Huang Shishun's ear.

"Brother Huang, the matter you entrusted is done. Your people are waiting outside the "Cheongju Pavilion", just waiting for you to come. ”

Huang Shishun looked around and replied in a low voice: "There are many people, let's talk about it when we go back!"

Everyone got into the car, only to find out that it was a four-wheeled carriage from the two rivers, Huang Shishun and Liu Yueche were talking side by side, and Shi Yisheng and others followed behind.

For more than an hour, before they knew it, everyone quickly entered Kaesong.

Along the way, you can constantly see low-rise houses, and various mansion compounds are mixed together. The main road is quite clean, but the alleys next to the road are side streets, which don't look very clean, and human and animal feces can be seen everywhere.

After a little more walking, the carriage stopped in front of a small three-story brick and wood building. The third floor is flat-framed windows, and the other two floors are arched wood-framed windows. The ground floor is a stone exterior wall and arched doors and windows, and the upper two floors are clear water red brick walls with double-column verandahs, which are classical and generous.

What is even more surprising is that the windows are all glass installations, and I can't imagine that the Koreans have also invested heavily in this hospitality inn.

The three big characters of "Cheongju Pavilion" above the door all remind everyone that this is the post house where everyone stays.

The post house is close to the Imperial City, and it is also a prosperous area of Kaesong, which can be regarded as a part of Kaesong.

Seeing several Goryeo officials coming out, Huang Shishun couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Shi, it seems that tonight's banquet requires you to take someone with you!"

With a smile on his face, he smiled at the Goryeo officials who greeted him: "Kim Sang-gong, let's meet again!"

Huang Shishun entered the post house, and not long after, a man slipped into the room and stood in the room. The man was fair-skinned and dressed in fine clothes, but his appearance was mediocre, and no one could recognize him when he threw it into the crowd.

"But it's the king's business."

Huang Shishun said softly, staring at the young man in front of him.

"Only the fragrance is the same."

The young man's face was calm, and he also gently spat out a few words.

Huang Shishun nodded, his eyes signaled, and the two sat down.

"The villain is Ke Er from Group A of the Overseas Intelligence Service, and he has met Shangguan."

Huang Shishun nodded and said in a low voice:

"How's it going? Did you bring all the drawings? ”

This Ke Er is not obvious, this is the master of lurking.

"Back to Shangguan, just now I took the opportunity to deliver food to the post house, and I have already sent it in, just in the kitchen, you can go and get it now."

Ke Er is still respectful and respectful, and his face does not change.

"Good. If what I expected is right, Wang Xianggong will soon send troops to Goryeo, and when the time comes, I will ask for credit for you in front of him. ”

Ke Er's eyes finally had a little enthusiasm. He nodded and said, "Shangguan can let people go and get the drawings now, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

A large number of drawings were placed in front of him, and Huang Shishun looked carefully, and all the terrain of Kaesong and Xijing was clearly marked. Even the garrisons of the various armies of Goryeo are explained otherwise.

Insert a sentence, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, you can cache and read aloud offline!

The young man retreated, and Huang Shishun hid the drawings. After a while, Liu Yue walked in.

"Brother Huang, does Wang Xianggong really want to use troops in Goryeo?"

The two have been friends for many years, and Ke Er and the others are lurking in Liu Yue's caravan, so the two basically have nothing to hide.

"Don't leave behind the worries of future generations, this is the original words of Wang Xianggong. Brother Xian, I don't need to say more. ”

Liu Yue took a breath of cold air and looked solemn.

"Don't leave behind the worries of future generations, what a Lingyun ambition. It seems that this prince is afraid that he will be the lord of the world!"

Huang Shishun nodded, his eyes blazing. He also believed that it was possible that soon, Wang Song would be pushed to the throne by his arrogant generals, whether he wanted it or not.

"Brother Xian, everything you have done, Wang Xianggong will definitely take it to heart!"

"Our brothers, don't say those polite words!"

Liu Yue nodded, and suddenly said: "These days are really a gathering of wind and clouds, not only have you arrived, but the envoys of the Jurchens and the envoys of the Song Emperor have also come." It's a small Kaesong, but something big is about to happen. ”

Huang Shishun was startled, sat down involuntarily, and fell into deep thought.
