Chapter 10 The Lustful Merchant Has Feet

At that time, Captain Xiao Xiang was the first to oppose his friend Mu Mu's suggestion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He said: "We don't have to save them, everyone think about it, they don't run on their feet, who can blame them?!" ”

Deputy Captain Guo Beyu added, "They really don't know what we've done here? We've sent some small vendors around to spread the word------"

This propaganda requirement is actually an order given to them by the owner of Zhang Guoan, we must let the surrounding people know what we are doing, and we must not let them be deceived by others, and the prime minister Shi Tianxuan is cheating!

Of course, they can understand what their owners are asking.

They arranged for a lot of small traders to carry all kinds of small commodities on the island to sell them around, not only observing the situation, but also quietly spreading the current situation on the Shandong Peninsula.

At present, the first batch of spring ploughing production has been completed in the Shandong Peninsula region, and they have devoted all their energy to armament defense and military training.

It was true that there was not enough food to eat at that time, but all kinds of supplies from the Great Song Dynasty government and Liuqiu Island were quickly delivered, and sea transportation was far more convenient and fast than land.

Supplies of all kinds were sufficient, enough that they could pay them in kind.

There is a very simple causal reason here------ the rice varieties they took the initiative to provide to the Great Song Dynasty and Champa played a role, and food is no longer a problem of this time and space.

What's more, they have other more productive types of food?!

Therefore, the question at hand was whether they could keep the grain------ and the Song government raised their hands in favor of the operation on the Shandong Peninsula, and they generously provided grain and cloth, and along the way, they also brought out the share of Jeju Island.

At that time, the owner of Zhang Guoan Island also just knew, it turned out that they had discussed it privately, and the Great Song Dynasty supported them free of charge to support the Duke of Anqing to become the new King of Goryeo, and the military rations needed were contracted by the Great Song Dynasty, as long as they were against the Tatars!

Due to the support of the previous Zhang Guoan Island Lord, Lin Yan, the leader of the Sanbei Army, was not only not defeated, but also had the advantage.

Also due to the reason of the owner of Zhang Guoan, the Goryeo Dynasty was squeezed more ruthlessly by the Tatars, and in the end it was really impossible to live.

Lin Yan took advantage of the public opinion to launch a mutiny with Jin Jun and Liu Xu, killing Cui Zhen, and the Cui regime was overthrown.

Immediately afterwards, he killed Jin Jun because of a conflict with Jin Jun in the field, wiped out his party, and established a new martial regime.

In the end, under the pretext of being a Tatar of the Goryeo Yuan clan, he deposed him and proclaimed the Duke of Anqing as king.

Lin Yan was appointed as a separate prisoner and monopolized the government.

Wonjong of Goryeo was a figure of the pro-Tatar bandit group, so the big leader Kublai Khan sent an envoy to interrogate Lin Yan.

Lin Yan lied that Yuanzong had abdicated the throne due to illness, and Kublai Khan asked Yuanzong to come with Wang Shu, the Duke of Anqing, to break his merits.

Of course Lin Yan didn't dare, he refused this request, so the war broke out at that time!

The Tatar army, together with pro-Tatar organizations, re-established Wonjong of Goryeo, claiming to be a government army and identifying Lin Yan as a rebel and anti-government armed force.

The two sides fought inextricably.

The cavalry of the Tatar army, they could not resist on land, but they were divided into two groups, one group went into the mountains, the other group ran to Zhenbao Island, and at the same time took Jeju Island as the base camp, and from time to time they attacked secretly, which also made the government army uncomfortable.

Although Lin Yan's coup d'état was earlier than in history, it was not as miserable as it was beaten in history, nor did it fall into a severe shortage of armaments and food.

What's more, they had the support of the common people of Goryeo, and the Tatars were too hard to oppress!

And after Lin Yan got in touch with the Great Song government, the Great Song government was really more generous than Liuqiu Island, and really sent a lot of armaments and food for nothing, so he didn't worry a little bit, but lived a very nourishing life, and there was no possibility that he would be scared to death in history.

Tens of thousands of Tatar troops were trapped on the battlefield of Goryeo.

At this time, the big boss Kublai Khan had to ask for military assistance from other khanates, and this time it was not just a technical need.

As mentioned above, there were the so-called four khanates during this period, and theoretically, they wanted to enshrine the great leader of the Central Plains as the Great Khan of Tatars, of course, this is just a fiction.

The rulers of the four khanates were all descended from Genghis Khan's "golden family" and were related to each other by blood.

Previously, they all had post road contacts with the big leaders who entered the Central Plains, and they also paid tribute every year.

However, Kublai Khan, the big boss, was robbed of his younger brother and had no legal reason, so the Kipchak Khanate, Chagatai Khanate, and Ogedai Khanate, among the four major khanates, all refused to pay tribute and basically became independent, and only the Ilkhanate had a very good relationship with the big leader Kublai Khan.

The Ilkhanate was established by Genghis Khan's grandson Hulegu after his expedition to the west, and is a great power bordered by the Amu Darya River in the east, the Mediterranean Sea in the west, the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, and the Caucasus in the north, and the Persian Gulf in the south.

It is a place where the cultures of Europe and Asia meet, and it is also an important transportation hub, and the inhabitants are complex, mainly speaking Persian and Arabic.

Most of them are ****** and some are Christian.

The Ilkhanate, with its capital in Tibilis, developed agriculture and flourished in commerce and handicrafts.

Even present-day Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus, Georgia, Armenia, and Turkmenistan in Central Asia are ruled directly by the Ilkhan; The kingdom of Herat in western Afghanistan was a vassal state of Ilkhan; The state of Romsultan in Asia Minor was nominally a vassal state, but in fact it was also governed by officials sent by the Ilkhan.

After Hulegu's death, his eldest son, Abha, succeeded him to the throne and inherited his father's foreign policy of maintaining good relations with the chief Kublai Khan.

Earlier, when the big boss Kublai Khan sent an envoy to ask Abha for some returning craftsmen, he did not hesitate to send the best returning craftsmen.

Kublai Khan, the big leader, had to ask people to go to the Iba of the Ilkhanate again to ask for military assistance, and now his own troops are not enough, not to mention, and the armaments are not enough.

The big bosses are not happy, and those second-class businessmen are even more unhappy!

They found themselves blocked by sea!

It's not even easy to go on the sea route to do business with Goryeo!

But at this time, their big boss doesn't care about any second-class people, and they also have to pay heavy taxes!

The merchants of the Lust followed the great leaders, and they did not come to serve as servants, but to make a fortune.

In 1258, the Tatar cavalry led by Genghis Khan's grandson and the son of Tulei destroyed the walls of Baghdad with stone cannons, and the army invaded the capital of the Arab Empire.

At that time, the merchants and civilians in the ****** region fled in all directions, and some fled to the Great Song Dynasty, and Quanzhou was one of the main cities inhabited by Arabs.

Although the court of the Great Song Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself, it still gave the greatest sympathy and help to these people who were destined to die at the end of the world, not only treated the people equally, but also helped the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and opened the door to religious beliefs, and allocated land for the people to build mosques and even residences for free.
