After reaching an agreement with Yeluliuge, Chen Xian built a port and castle on the west bank of a river bay dozens of kilometers deep into the mouth of the Liao River, and used it as a trade market with Yeluliuge.

In order to maintain Yeluliuge's trading partner, Chen Xian was very generous when doing business with Yeluliuge, and he gave as much as he wanted for the high-quality armor and weapons that Yeluliuge liked.

After doing business with Chen Xian a few times, Yeluliuge gradually put his mind at ease, and he even felt that this warlord from the Central Plains really seemed to be here to do business with him!

Of course, Jeruliugo would not be naïve enough to really believe in this feeling.

But if you can't beat it anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it.

Yeluliuge was really scared by Chen Xian, the dense row of guns, terrible cannons, and fast and hateful lancers left Yeluliuge not a nightmare, but a psychological trauma!

With Yeluliuge, a source of high-quality horses, Chen Xian's war horses finally have a stable source.

In order not to provoke Yeluliuge, Chen Xian did not continue to develop in the Liaohe Plain except for occupying Gaizhou and building a bazaar on the bank of the Liao River.

He limited the development of the western part of the Liaodong Peninsula to the coastal plain area south of the city of Gaizhou, where he vigorously built ports, castles, hydroelectric factories, reclaimed land, and relocated people.

After the loss of Gaizhou, Liaoyang City was not in danger to defend, such a situation made it difficult for Yeluliuge to sleep, and in the end, Yeluliuge simply threw Liaoyang to his younger brother, and he himself moved to Xianzhou (now Kaiyuan City, Liaoning).

In order to avoid scaring Yeluliuge, a high-quality supplier of war horses, Chen Xian had no choice but to suspend the pace of development to the west of the Liaodong Peninsula and turn his attention to the east.

In fact, Chen Xian's development in the eastern part of the Liaodong Peninsula has not stopped since he landed in Suzhou, and the plain area along the eastern coast of the peninsula is wider and more fertile than the western part of the peninsula.

In the more than a year since Chen Xian landed in Liaodong, he first built six or seven large and small ports on the eastern coast of the peninsula, and used these six or seven ports as springboards to occupy and develop this long and narrow coastal plain in the form of multi-point flowering.

After more than a year of hardship, Chen Xian had basically connected the entire area from Suzhou to Posu Road (near present-day Dandong), and the next thing he had to do was to relocate more people, build more castles, and cultivate more arable land.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Xian finally found the coal mine on Subo Road, and he immediately organized manpower, built roads, blasted mountains, mined coal mines, and the fuel costs of cement and brick factories on the Liaodong Peninsula were finally solved.

Just when Chen Xian had to resist his coveting of the Liao River Plain for the sake of the horse trade, an incident occurred in Goryeo, not far from Posok, which caught Chen Xian's attention.

At this time, the kingdom of Goryeo was in the midst of a samurai regime, and the ruler was the hard-nosed Choi Chung-sian, who was arbitrary and strong-handed, but also quite talented, and under his rule, the situation in Goryeo was quite stable.

Chen Xian's merchant ships were courteous in Goryeo in the name of the Xuanfu envoy of the East Road of the Jinguo Dongdong.

After several years of business exchanges, Chen Xian established several intelligence stations in Goryeo and collected a lot of Goryeo intelligence.

In a recent piece of information, there is one that has attracted Chen Xian's attention, since Wanyan Pingtao gave up Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo to Yelu Liuge, some Khitan tribes who followed Yelu Liuge poured into this area, Liaoyang Mansion is not far from Goryeo, some Khitan tribes wandered to Goryeo to plunder, as a result, the Goryeo court did nothing, allowing these Khitan tribes to roam around in the country.

At Chen Xian's request, the intelligence officers inquired about the reason behind this incident.

It turned out that Choi Xianzhong incorporated the elite army of Goryeo into his private army, and he was unwilling to use his private army to fight for the country, which caused the border defense of Goryeo to become very fragile.

After getting this information, Chen Xian couldn't help but have a crooked thought, since the Khitan tribe can be entrenched in Goryeo, then it doesn't make sense that I can't?

Therefore, Chen Xian brazenly ordered to organize a landing on the east bank of the Yalu River and build a castle on the other side of Posu Road, which is the location of today's Sinuiju.

While building the castle, Chen Xian's colonial forces plundered everywhere, and according to custom, they killed the local civil and military nobles of Goryeo and their retainers, leaving only slaves and peasants to serve as laborers.

At first, the nearby Goryeo peasants and slaves were very afraid of this group of ferocious robbers, but after a while, some Korean peasants who left the castle spread the word about the treatment of the castle, and some bold peasants and some escaped slaves began to take the initiative to defect to the castle.

Tran Heon's castle complex began to spread along the northwest coast of Goryeo......

Chen Xian's tactics in Goryeo were basically the same as in Shandong, only more brutal, and he carried out a thorough purge of the civil and military aristocracy in Goryeo, leaving only illiterate peasants and slaves, who had to learn Chinese and graduate from his school in order to receive better treatment and more rights......

The Goryeo scholar class is different from the Song-Jin region, they basically belong to the hereditary class, and the scholars from the two classes basically monopolize the official position, so the class solidification of Goryeo is extremely serious, and the land of Goryeo is basically occupied by the two classes of nobles or the government's farms, and the burden of the peasants and slaves is more than that in the Jin Kingdom, so the policy of distributing land regardless of the nobility and the lowly has a great attraction to the peasant class of Goryeo.

Chen Xian's development in Goryeo was surprisingly smooth, and the reaction of the Goryeo court was even slower than he thought, and it dragged on for more than a year, and Cui Xianzhong finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent his private army "Dufang".

It's a pity that even the capital was still vulnerable in front of Chen Xian's muskets and cannons, and was defeated by Chen Xian's troops in Goryeo, so the Goryeo court was helpless against this invader, and could only watch him encroach on Goryeo land little by little.

……

In order to pay attention to the development of Liaodong, Chen Xian moved his battalion to Dengzhou and let Yang Miaozhen sit in Mizhou.

In the past two years, Chen Xian spent one-third of his time at sea, and sometimes, in a month, he had to go back and forth between Dengzhou and Suzhou two or three times.

In the past two years, he has focused on the development of the Liaodong Peninsula, but he has not let go of the development of Shandong.

Recently, he has encountered great resistance in Shandong itself.

More than a year ago, as Chen Xian's fleet continued to grow and develop, he began to implement a plan that he had been brewing for a long time.

Chen Xian named the project the Shoreline Project.

He planned to rely on his maritime superiority to build a narrow coastal castle belt along Laizhou Bay and Bohai Bay.

This castle belt will stretch into the Hebei region like a tentacle along the coastline from south to north.

Behind this castle belt, every other distance, as long as the conditions are right, Chen Xian will build a port, and every time he does the front of the port, he will build a group of strong castles to guard, and then, relying on the port and shipping, step by step, the castle group will be pushed along the coastline and towards the coast, and the castle group built by each port on the coastline will be linked, and finally form a fortress belt that can go deep into the coast of twenty or thirty kilometers inland.
