Chapter 215 Across the Seas, the Homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties

With Hu Yanqing's help, the more than 120 officers and soldiers of the Pinghai Army who came to support Dengzhou City this time naturally did not say a word, and all expressed their willingness to join the Liangshan Army.

In this regard, Lin Chong's performance was also very magnificent, and he immediately ordered someone to return their weapons, and ordered Wang Mei and Liu Liang, the two heads of Yanqing Xinzhong, to assist in defending the city and maintaining law and order.

Then Lin Chong and Hu Yanqing together, escorted Yuan Fuyu, a commander of the Cheng Navy, and rushed to the Cheng Navy Water Village with two hundred cavalry.

When the battle came to this point, the subsequent process was naturally extremely smooth, and as soon as Lin Chong's soldiers and horses arrived, they joined forces with Teng Huan's three hundred cavalry, and the number of people was not much less than that of the Chenghai army left behind in the water village.

Then twelve Liangshan special combat team members quietly sneaked into the water village from underwater, suddenly killed, and cooperated with the Liangshan cavalry to seize the gate of the wall, and Yuan Fuyu, the commander of the Cheng Navy, was in the hands of the Liangshan army, loudly persuading him to surrender.

In this case, how much will these Cheng Navy officers and soldiers, who are guarding this golden sea lane, collecting tolls together with Wang Shizhong and robbing disobedient merchant ships, have a lot of money to fight? Almost without much resistance, they all fell to their knees and surrendered.

As a result, including the two injured and maintained warships of the Ping Navy, the twelve large and small warships docked at the dock became the pockets of the Liangshan Army.

"Good! With these ships, the goal of our Liangshan Army across the seas is a little closer! ”

Looking at the three large ships of 3,600 materials, five warships of 2,000 materials, and four warships of 1,000 materials quietly moored on the dock, and the total tonnage added up to almost 25,000 large and small warships, Lin Chong's heart was so happy that he wanted to jump up.

Originally, Lin Chong's strategy at the beginning was to vigorously develop maritime trade, on the one hand, it can solve the economic problems of the Liangshan army, you must know that Lin Chong is now raising so many soldiers, and he eats so well every day, which is not low.

On the other hand, it is to exchange the things in its own system and the things produced by the Liangshan workshop for the excellent war horses of the Liao State and the Jurchens, and when necessary, they can also launch economic warfare, and the corresponding military actions can sometimes play a miraculous effect.

Therefore, the biggest problem of Liang Shanjun at present is that there is a serious lack of sea ships, and it is too slow to build ships on their own, so Lin Chong asked Shi Xiu, Yang Lin, and Meng Kang to go to Jiangnan to distribute leaflets, in fact, they also asked them to find a way to go to Zhejiang and Fujian to buy some sea ships to come back.

Now that he has ten sea ships at once, with a total capacity of more than 20,000 materials, and it is a warship, it has solved the urgent need of the Liang Shan Army, which makes Lin Chong unhappy in his heart!

"Across the seas?" Hu Yanqing couldn't help but be stunned, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect Brother Lin to have the ambition to cross the world?" ”

Lin Chong smiled, this is the gap between the times, although the people of the Song Dynasty made countless money by relying on the Maritime Silk Road, they never thought of expanding on the sea or anything, and the Great Song Dynasty only knew how to live by guarding one acre and three points of land on land.

And Lin Chong is a person from later generations, the wealth of the way of nature comes from the sea, and there is the truth that if you are backward, you will be beaten.

The fastest way for Liang Shanjun to obtain wealth is, of course, from the sea, and with his own presence, Liang Shanjun's technology must be the most advanced, and he naturally does not need to be polite to deal with the surrounding backward forces.

If the Liangshan army wants to develop and compete with Zhao and Song for the world, it is not enough to rely on primitive accumulation alone, the surrounding Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom are all big fat sheep, especially the Wa Kingdom, which is now full of gold and silver mines!

"Well, Brother Huyan, come on, when our Liangshan Water Army becomes stronger, we will not only let our merchant ships crisscross the world and do business all over the world, but also lay a big territory and colonies overseas for our Chinese people!

When the time comes, who will not praise the people of the world? You and I and all the soldiers of the Liangshan Army will surely go down in history and become famous for all generations! ”

"Brother...... Are you serious? ”

Hu Yanqing only felt completely incredible, how could Brother Lin have such an idea!

If you can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, it would be very good for Jin'ou to be forever, why do you still want to lay a big territory overseas? And what is this colony?

Hu Yanqing felt more and more that he didn't know this Lin Chong.

Lin Chong couldn't help but smile when he saw Hu Yanqing's shocked appearance, and said: "Naturally, it's true, don't say anything else, just talk about Goryeo, brother, do you know that this was the inherent territory of my Huaxia during the Han and Tang Dynasties, and even during the Yin Shang Dynasty."

It's just that later, due to various reasons, Silla, the predecessor of Goryeo, took advantage of the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo to occupy the entire territory of the peninsula, and later Wang Jian overthrew Silla to establish Goryeo, in fact, this place has always been the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the Zhao and Song dynasties were incompetent and could not be recovered. ”

At this time, Teng Huan was leading people to count the seizures, and sent people to the beach to wait for Li Jun, Ruan Xiaoqi's army, Lin Chong and Hu Yanqing, and they were idle, anyway, they were idle, so Lin Chong simply told Hu Yanqing about the history of the peninsula.

The original history of the peninsula, in addition to the prehistoric myths and stories, the earliest history is the king of Wu, the remnant of Yin Shang's retainer Jizi established the Jizi Joseon, the ruling area roughly accounts for more than eighty percent of the peninsula, only the extreme south is the wild savage tribe.

Later, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Man, the general of the Yan State, led immigrants into the peninsula and became the prime minister of Jizi Joseon, after which Wei Man overthrew the regime of Jizi Joseon and established the Wei Manchurian Joseon regime.

After another few decades, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Wei Manchu Joseon regime and set up the four Han counties here.

Then more than 100 years later, in the north of the four Han counties, where the Jurchens are now rising, a Goguryeo tribe arose, established the Goguryeo regime, and constantly eroded the territory of the four Han counties, during which there were many repetitions, but after the fall of the Han Dynasty, the land of the four Han counties was finally annexed by Goguryeo.

It was also during this time that the barbarian tribes in the southernmost part of the peninsula first developed into three sesame-sized tribes called Samhan (Jinhan, Mahan, and Benhan), and finally Samhan evolved into two small states, Silla and Baekje.

Silla and Baekje then began to expand northward, eventually bordering Goguryeo, but the lands of these two small states remained limited to a small area to the south of the peninsula. At this time, it was the period of the former Tang on our side.

At that time, Goguryeo was like the current Liao State, constantly invading the territory of the Tang Dynasty and threatening the security of the Tang Dynasty.

On the other hand, Baekje invaded Silla many times because of Goguryeo's assistance, and Silla asked for help like the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty first destroyed Baekje together with Silla, and then destroyed Goguryeo in one fell swoop from the north and south.

After that, Silla took advantage of the Tang Dynasty to fight with Tibet in the west, and the Turks took the opportunity to rebel, and the east and west could not take into account the opportunity, little by little to encroach on the former Tang Andong Protectorate, the Tang Dynasty had to relocate the Andong Protectorate because of the defeat in the war in the west, so the peninsula was almost completely occupied by Silla.

Later, King Taejo of Goryeo overthrew Silla and established Goryeo.
