The Cangzhao business catered to the ideological trend of the Goryeo rulers' pursuit of pleasure, and promoted this trend step by step, bringing Goryeo an unprecedented abnormal prosperity and the illusion of wealth and development beyond the times, and gradually taking away the real wealth: natural resources, food materials, and technical talents.

The rulers of this era were ignorant and backward, and they attached great importance to iron ore for the construction of military equipment, and copper for making money, and did not care at all about coal, timber, etc., and wished that they could exchange what came out of the mud, including grain, for benefits. As for technology and talent, that is what the Confucian political tradition has always despised and the powerful do not bother to pay attention to.

When the Liao State was strong, its behavior was very similar to that of the post-Cold War country, fanning the flames everywhere, bullying and looting, doing whatever it wanted, and being unscrupulous. The wealthy and developed Great Song Dynasty was still the target of the Liao State's oppression and plunder, not to mention the small Goryeo, which was forced to almost die by the Liao State several times. Wang Mata became the lord of the country, and was forced to prepare to move the capital to the outer islands several times in order to survive.

In this way, Goryeo should have hated Daliao extremely, but it is not.

It is the same as South Korea and Japan towards the United States, not only does it not hate, but secretly teases and betrays the interests of the Song State, desperately caters to the Liao State, and stages the ingratitude and shamelessness of its descendants as early as possible, and forms the racial and genetic characteristics to pass on.

However, Liao did not play some soft means to win over Goryeo like the United States did with Japan and South Korea, and still wantonly invaded Goryeo from time to time, and the threat of Goryeo's destruction still existed at all times.

In this way, the life of the Goryeo stick is not like that of his descendants in a similar situation, although there is no national dignity, as long as he is shameless, his life is still good.

In order to allow the rulers of Goryeo to enjoy themselves more at ease and the people to have a peaceful environment to engage in production, Zhao Yue at the beginning of the occupation of Jeju Island, he told the Northern Army and the North Sea Fleet to block the Yalu River and other passages for the Liao to invade Goryeo.

Soon, the Great Liao and the suddenly rising Jurchens became a mess, retreated one after another, and quickly fell into a predicament, not caring about bullying and plundering Goryeo. The Jurchens were just emerging, their strength was limited, they were busy consolidating their territory to deal with the Liao army, and they were extremely short of troops, and they were unable to divide their troops to plunder Goryeo.

In this way, the ruler of Goryeo was happy, not knowing that safety was deliberately created and promoted by the Cangzhao group, and only hoped that the Liaojin and Jin Tigers would better fight more ferociously and end up together, so that Goryeo no longer had northern troubles, so he played the best two-faced and three-faced knives during this period, continued to cry and pretend to be pitiful, red mouth and white teeth coaxed the Great Song Dynasty, and always succeeded in obtaining as many benefits as possible, and at the same time, under this unprecedented beauty and good mentality of no external troubles and no pay, and great external benefits, he gradually fell into the crazy comparison pleasure unconsciously with peace of mind.

Gao Li's behavior is like a clown, forgetting his righteousness, arrogant and funny, so in later generations, there was a Jin San Fat who entertained the majority of Chinese people in the same vein.

But Zhao Yue had a plan, he only looked at Da Song and frowned, and he didn't understand how Da Song, these extremely smart bureaucrats, had such brains.

Over the years, Goryeo has pulled some local products to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, and they dare to ask for support and benefits again and again.

The Great Song Dynasty is really as responsive as the Buddha of the Miracle, as always, he rewarded rich and exquisite gold and silver treasures, the rarest porcelain made by the latest technology, the best tea, and the most exquisite silk and satin, and these are nothing, in the precious new grain crop seeds, advanced cultivation, breeding, paper printing, metal smelting and other technologies, cultural and scientific and technological books, etc., which are related to the country, it is called a generous and resolute one to give it free of charge.

The unique technology of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is the official or the people, will try their best to hide it from their compatriots, for fear of stealing it, even if it is an apprentice, whether you can learn it depends on your own understanding and diligence, learn well, learn it will not be pulled, no one cares about you, even if it is the cultural knowledge of the society, if you want to learn well, you have to beg repeatedly, show enough sincerity and perseverance, you may be able to get the master's acceptance and teaching, but once it turns to foreign aid, the situation is all turned over.

For those sent by Goryeo to study, whether it is technical or cultural, you can't learn it, the Song people, from the officials to the people, will take the trouble to explain and demonstrate repeatedly, and teach them hand in hand with the greatest patience and sense of responsibility. That enthusiastic, generous, selfless, active, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tired, hard-working, quality and quantity package progress, regardless of the cost, do not ask for returns, just ask you to respectfully and humbly worship and praise him a few times, it is not the kind of indifference to their own people, passive sabotage, procrastination, cutting corners, can pit pits, can save will save, can be lazy lazy, calculating gains and losses, face and face, if you have no money and no power, it doesn't matter, let you beg grandpa to tell grandma, no matter how talented, no matter how low you are, no matter how sincere you want to learn, it may not be of any use.

In order to vigorously help Goryeo improve the level of medical and health care and ensure the health of the people of Goryeo, the Great Song Dynasty even sent six national doctors who specialized in serving the royal family at once, and gave away a large number of medicinal materials.

Cement manufacturing technology, which is related to national defense, helped Goryeo free of charge earlier, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty said with great concern that this thing could help Goryeo resist the invasion of the Liao State. Kaegyong, the capital of Goryeo, was re-expanded and reinforced with cement.

When Zhao Yue learned of these circumstances, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, angry, and extremely sad.

It's a shame to say.

Our ancestors created a brilliant political civilization, and they were incomparably wise and wise in carrying out political struggles on the ancestral land, and there are too many cases that are amazing and can impress the world's political leaders, but when it comes to foreign countries, they will fall into a strange circle, always ignoring the objective situation of foreign countries, with their own values and moral convictions, subjectively wishful thinking towards foreign countries, and the result is ugly. Too often, it is not that foreign envoys come with pure intentions to seek profit, but when they see that they are pleasing to the eye, and listen to the lame flattery of the language barrier, they will always generously meet the demands of the envoys, and then they will be turned on and denied, betrayed and betrayed, and ruthlessly slapped in the face, and then continue this cycle of wishful thinking.

There are two emperors in Chinese history who deserve special mention.

The first was the great Qin Shi Huang.

The fact that he used iron and blood to unify the country and lay the foundation of China's territory made it clear early on that there were only naked/naked/naked interests between countries, and that the family, friendship, love, comrades, sympathy, and alliances that prevailed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were all for the purpose of serving the core interests of the country, otherwise they were all inconsequential things that needed to be abandoned decisively.

Justice and morality have nothing to do with the strategic national policy interests between countries. Alliances forged by justice and morality are vulnerable and break up at the slightest touch.

It is a pity that the descendants who were deeply influenced by Confucianism paid attention to the ruthlessness and brutality of Qin Shi Huang, focused on irresponsible criticism and denial, and cultivated the ideological consciousness of spurning Qin Shi Huang from a young age in history textbooks, so that the great world's first emperor also jumped angrily in the mausoleum.

The second is the great Han Gaozu.

The ruffian emperor seized the country with black means, established the Han Dynasty, and successfully ruled China for a long time, laying the foundation for the formation of the Han nation.

His success profoundly exposes the nature of politics as a game of scoundrels seeking substantial gain.

It is a pity that his descendant, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, played his political contributions badly, and even more spoiled the spirit of China's political principles.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the northern nomads and was revered as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty by later generations, but he used Confucianism to negate and eradicate other practical doctrines, carried forward the essence of politics as a game of black scoundrels, and raised politics to the height of self-respecting and killing children to defend rights, but obliterating the more important essence of politics revealed by Han Gaozu with practical actions - only seeking substantive interests, exhausting the national strength of the Han Dynasty, and cutting off the driving force behind the rapid development of science and technology to promote social development.

If a person has a spirit, presumably Han Gaozu is not pleased with the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but jumps to his feet and scolds: "I, Liu Bang, am such a smart hero, how did the descendants give birth to you such a flashy vanity, arrogance, short-sightedness, and the play of future generations." ”

The mistakes made by the Song people, and the Goryeo who studied the Han people are also making them vividly.

The Li family, a powerful minister, is proficient in Confucianism, speaks fluent Chinese, and does Chinese poetry well, and the family's money can't be spent for ten lifetimes, but they are still desperately earning. Li Ziqian's younger brother Li Ziliang represents the Li family's unswerving and unremitting indulgence in trading with the Cangzhao business group, and he doesn't know that he will violate the survival norms of human society and pay the price.

In history, the Li brothers and henchmen did not succeed in usurping the throne, and they were all captured and died tragically in the wilderness.

Right now, Zhao Yue had already planned to clean up Gaoli and was about to make a move, and he also swept his cold gaze over the Li family.

Geoje Island, a large island close to the mainland, was an important maritime fortress in Goryeo, and there were two towns in this era: Cheonghae Town and Guancheng Town. There are more than 3,000 elite naval troops and more than 20,000 elite army soldiers stationed on the island, with more than 50 main warships and 100 small boats, and a total of 780,000 residents.

This was the original defense of Goryeo to prevent the invasion of Jeju Island pirates, with the help of the generous assistance of the Great Song Dynasty.

The general of Jindao is called Park Sung-eun, and he is a major general in Goryeo who is proficient in both land and water warfare, and his own martial arts are also extraordinary.

At this time, the rulers of Goryeo from top to bottom, from officials to civil heroes, were addicted to luxury, only caring about internal struggles, singing and dancing, and the Liao State was not a threat, and had long forgotten that there was also a threat of pirates.

The officers and soldiers stationed on Geoje Island were unlucky and gradually forgotten on the island.

Fortunately, the imperial court officials did not forget to allocate military salaries and materials on time. There are also two towns on the island to loot. The officers and soldiers have food and drink, fish and meat, but they are full and drunk and have nothing to do all day, they have just begun to strengthen the defense on the island, afraid that the rumored powerful and murderous pirates will kill them at any time, and they also work hard to train the troops, and are diligent and strict on guard and patrol, but with the long time of safety, there is no danger in Ding Mao, there is only the desolation and boundless boredom of the island, the court has forgotten them, and even the capable commander of the army has been forgotten and idle here, trapped here as a prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment, unable to see the future of meritorious service and awards, and has no hope of returning to the homeland, Gradually, the armament was abandoned.

Park Sung-eun is an aspiring general, but if he doesn't fight, he will be insignificant, and no powerful person in the court cares about him as a rude and despicable man.

At first, he wanted to make a difference in the fight against pirates, and when he was transferred to Geoje Island, he was ambitious, but the pirates did not even see a shadow, and at that time, there was a serious shortage of naval ships, and he could not afford to cross the sea to conquer Jeju Island.

Later, after a long time, the imperial court spent money and coaxed to slowly get more and more warships from the Great Song Dynasty, although most of them were not his ideal 35,000 quintals of big ships, but 1,000 quintals of sea ships can also be used to fight pirates, and if they play well, they may not be able to succeed in suppressing bandits, but unfortunately several years have passed, and the subordinate generals have been trapped on the island for a long time and have nothing to do.

This kind of depravity is not something that can be transferred by any general's own ambition and will, and it is as unstoppable as the local corruption and depravity.

Park Sung-eun was unwilling at the beginning, and wanted to try to boost the morale of the army, set an example in training, and tried in vain to reorganize the elite soldiers and take the initiative to exterminate the pirates, but even his henchmen and lieutenants and right-hand men did not think about how to fight at this time, and they were busy using warships to do business with foreign merchants to make a fortune.

There was a general sigh of resentment among the officers on the island.

The masters of the imperial court have long forgotten about us who have worked hard as soldiers, and they are all busy making money, enjoying themselves, and playing prestige, as comfortable and luxurious as possible. These big people who control the power and destiny of the country don't take national affairs seriously, what kind of heart do we have as lowly martial artists?

Even if you want to, what qualifications do you have? it?

The important members of the imperial court have collectively lost their memories and forgot about piracy, you dare to ask for instructions, and even send troops to attack Jeju Island without authorization?

Do you know exactly the inside story of the Jeju Island incident? Confirm that it was the pirates and not the Li family's shady conspiracy plan?

Even if it is purely done by pirates, you lead your troops to fight, and if you win, it is better to say, if you are defeated, only the loss of the warship, you can't afford it, you lose your head is only afraid that it is a trivial matter, and your whole family is afraid that you will have to be implicated in the crime. We're going to have to go in with it.

If it's really a pirate, it's obvious that it's not easy to mess with.

The son of the Li family who led the troops to suppress at the beginning was not a vegetarian, he had real skills, and he did not rely on the power of the family.

That kid commanded such a powerful naval fleet, but it became a mystery that he never returned. We go, and the odds of failure are greater.

You and I have been abandoned and forgotten, there is no hope of promotion, the career is like this, wealth and glory are not sought, there is a ship in hand, it is not good to make good use of this natural advantage, and make money for our own family to earn a rich and decent life, but we are energetic to risk fighting and dying, you have no problem with your brain, right?

Park Sung-eun was speechless, and after finding out what was going on, he could only give up in frustration, and in the future, he just restrained his subordinates as much as possible, and actively participated in trade and even smuggling, not knowing that he was running happily into the abyss like the magnates.
