Chapter 220: Martyrs' Shrine

The Incheon Treaty was signed, and Wu Dong's heart was very happy, but there were more things waiting for him to deal with.

On the first day of December, Incheon Fortress held a grand sacrifice for the dead Yangsan warriors.

All Yangsan personnel, all who were in Incheon, participated in this sacrifice.

The sky is heavy and snow begins in the morning, and at first it is sporadic and finally becomes a goose mรกo.

More than 2,000 fighters stood there silently, motionless, with sadness in their eyes, and this time it was their comrades-in-arms who died, the comrades-in-arms with whom they had trained, laughed, and fought together. In addition to these more than 2,000 soldiers, countless Han merchants also participated in this sacrifice.

Wu Dong stood on the high platform, looked at the Liangshan soldiers below, looked at the Han merchants nearby, and said in a deep voice, "In the Battle of Incheon, we Liangshan sacrificed a total of 147 soldiers, they are Zhang Lei, Liu Song, Cao Renyi, ......"

Wu Dong said the names of all 147 sacrificed soldiers, and then said, "Unlike previous battles, they are fighting in the land of Goryeo, for the rise of the Han people, for the rise of China, so every Han and every Chinese must not forget their exploits!" I will build a martyr's shrine in Incheon, and the names of all the Yangsan soldiers who died in Goryeo will be recorded in the martyr's shrine, and their exploits will also be recorded there for future generations to see! โ€

After Wu Dong's words were finished, the eyes of the more than 2,000 soldiers below all felt "lu" and "ji". For these soldiers, their comrades-in-arms are their brothers, and it is worth it if their brothers can get such glory after their deaths, and they can engrave their names in the martyrs' shrine for future generations to pay respects.

In the history of China, there has never been a dynasty that would record the names of soldiers and build martyrs' shrines for them. In the past, even if the ancestral hall was built, it was built for generals and high-ranking officials. Wu Dong This is definitely the first time in history, if it weren't for the strict discipline of the army, now these more than 2,000 soldiers would have to kneel down and thank Wu Dong.

The surrounding businessmen were also unbelievable, some people felt that Wu Dong should do this, those soldiers who sacrificed for the Han and Chinese should be commemorated, and some felt that Wu Dong did something too much, and it seemed inappropriate to build a martyr's shrine for the soldiers.

No matter what the businessmen thought, Wu Dong said, "Those comrades-in-arms and brothers have taken a step ahead of us, and we, as alive, should work harder and be stronger, and continue to work hard for the rise of the Han nationality and the rise of China." For the rise of the Han nationality and the rise of China, every Liangshan person must be prepared to sacrifice. Including me, Wu Dong, I can give up my life without hesitation if I need to! โ€

The hearts of the warriors below are even more 'ji', and at this moment they also have the same idea as Wu Dong, for the rise of the Han nationality and the rise of China, they can sacrifice at any time.

At this moment, even the surrounding merchants seemed to be infected, and many merchants also had a hint of "ji" moving in their eyes.

Wu Dong looked into the distance, and after a long time, he said, "The road ahead is very difficult, our enemy is very strong, the Liao people are in our north, occupying the sixteen states of Yanyun, and we have not recaptured it so far." In addition, as far as I know, further north, there are more powerful and murderous foreign tribes than the Liao, and they will henceforth be our enemies. However, I believe that as long as everyone in Liangshan has the belief of sacrifice, there are no difficulties and obstacles over there that can truly resist us! Because of our Liangshan people, the Han people will rise and defeat all foreign races! Huaxia will also become the first country in the world! โ€

After Wu Dong finished speaking, everyone stepped forward to pay tribute to the martyrs, and those soldiers stepped forward in pairs according to the army, offering "huฤ" circles, expressing their grief in front of the martyrs' tombs, of course, almost all the soldiers also expressed their willingness to sacrifice for the rise of the Han people.

Construction of the Martyrs' Shrine began at the end of the Battle of Incheon, and it was not until the end of December that the Martyrs' Shrine was finally completed.

The Martyrs' Shrine has an unusually solemn feel, with the names of all the Yangsan warriors who died, followed by an introduction to the Battle of Inchon and an encouragement to more Han Chinese to fight for the rise of the Han Chinese.

Wu Dong and Wu Yong stood in front of the Martyrs' Shrine, Wu Yong said, "The big leader is really a good means, with this Martyrs' Shrine, I'm afraid all the soldiers will fight desperately, even if they die, they can get such glory, it's worth it." โ€

Wu Dong shook his head lightly and said, "This is not a means, this is just what I should do for those soldiers who sacrificed." For these sacrificed soldiers, I respect them from the bottom of my heart. โ€

Wu Dong said very solemnly, Wu Yong immediately understood Wu Dong's intentions, and decided not to talk about these martyrs in the future.

After coming out of the Martyrs' Shrine, Wu Dong and Wu Yong walked around Incheon City. Although it is a harsh winter, Incheon Fortress is in full swing, and countless Han merchants are building buildings, some building shops, others building mansions, and many of them are planning to live in Incheon City for a long time.

Wu Yong followed behind Wu Dong and praised, "Great Chief, under your wise leadership, we defeated the Goryeo, and the Goryeo had to cede Incheon City to us, and now that we are sitting here, our Han merchants are like reassuring pills, and dare to develop vigorously here." โ€

Wu Dong said with a smile, "It's winter, and many businessmen in the country don't know the news of Incheon yet, otherwise more people will come here, and it will feel prosperous here." โ€

At this time, the weather was much colder than in later generations, and the sea had long been sealed, and the news of Goryeo could not reach the country, so it was necessary to wait for the opening of the "chun" in the next year, and the news could only be transmitted back after the sea was unsealed.

Because of this, Wu Dong was originally going to Bianliang City to look for Master Li, but he was also delayed.

The two walked for a while, and Wu Yong said again, "Great chief, it's enough for us to have Incheon City, what else do we want to do in Seoul?" It's a desolate place, and we need to build our own city...... If you really need territory, big boss, we can just fight it, why bother looking for that place. โ€

"Incheon City is just a port city, so it's good to do business. But if you really want to rule the whole of Goryeo, you need a place that is well connected, and a place like Seoul could not be better. As for the construction of the new city, it can encourage more Han people to come to Goryeo and promote the economic development here, and it will also allow us to get more benefits from Yangsan, and there are many benefits, and you will understand it slowly. โ€

Wu Yong seems to understand whether he understands or not, he has a lot of villain tricks, but when it comes to real national affairs, he is much worse.

When I walked halfway, suddenly there was a beating and scolding in front of me, and I saw several tall men bullying a thin teenager, the thin boy was covered in blood, lying on the ground, screaming constantly, and the tall men were beating the boy with long sticks.

"Who are you? Don't know the laws of Incheon? How dare you be so presumptuous? Wu Yong saw Wu Dong's brows furrowed, and immediately ran up and scolded these people.

When those people saw that Wu Yong was dressed luxuriously, and he looked arrogant, and spoke Chinese, they hurriedly said, "This big official, you probably don't know yet, this is a little guy in Gaoli, and he doesn't work hard, so we want to beat him up." โ€

Wu Yongdao: "If you beat someone, you can beat someone, and you don't need to beat him to death, right?" โ€

A big man smiled and said, "Look at what you always say, it's just a Goryeo pariah, and if you kill it, you will be killed." Now that Incheon City belongs to our Han Chinese, who would dare to hold us accountable? โ€

Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Wu Dong, and found that Wu Dong was still frowning, and scolded again, "No matter what, it's always wrong to beat people to death." I took this person away, if you are not satisfied, you can go to the Liangshan Chamber of Commerce to find me. โ€

When the big man heard that Wu Yong turned out to be from the Liangshan Chamber of Commerce, he was startled at the moment, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare, your old man is kind in his heart, take pity on this Goryeo pariah, then spare his life today." โ€

Wu Dong and Wu Yong came out as two people on the surface, but there were many people in the secret to protect them, and at that moment Wu Yong summoned a person to bring the Goryeo boy to the City Lord's Mansion, while Wu Dong and Wu Yong continued to walk forward.

Wu Dong said: "Is it common for such a scenario to be seen now? The Han people bullied the Koreans. โ€

Wu Yongdao: "It's very common, I've seen it several times these days." But it's nothing, we Han people are now the masters of Incheon City, what's wrong with bullying the Koreans? โ€

Wu Dong frowned, and said, "Wu Yong, how can you have an idea with those small people?" Do you know that the ultimate purpose of our Yangsan coming here is to get the whole of Goryeo. If you want to get Goryeo, you can't conquer it by force, you have to get the sincere approval of the Goryeo people. And if you want to get the sincere recognition of the Korean people, the first thing to do is to treat them equally, treat the Han and the Korean people equally, and we can't bully them casually because they are Koreans. If we do that, we won't be able to stay in Goryeo for long. โ€

In later generations, Japan occupied Korea by force, but it was only occupied by force, and the Koreans never stopped resisting the Japanese, and even hundreds of thousands of Koreans went to China to fight against the Japanese. In the Korean War, a large part of North Korea's troops came from the former Chinese battlefield. Even decades after Japan withdrew from Korea, North and South Korea still hate Japan unabated, and it is common to hear voices condemning Japan in both countries.

Wu Dong didn't want Liangshan to become a Japanese situation in the future.

Of course, there is still a big difference between the current Goryeo and the later generations of Korea, which has been established for thousands of years and has formed a Korean nation, which has a high sense of identity with its own country and will never accept foreign rule.

Today's Goryeo was founded less than 200 years ago, and Goryeo was preceded by the Silla and Later Three Kingdoms periods, and before that was the Three Kingdoms period of Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo. At present, there is not even a unified Goryeo nation, there is no unified language, and there are many places that are still primitive tribal forms. In some places, people often refer to themselves as Silla and Baekje, and do not consider themselves to be Goryeo.

Therefore, it is much easier to conquer Goryeo now than in later generations, but even so, it is necessary to be cautious and strategic.
