Chapter 518: The Beginning of the Goryeo Raiders

A hundred miles from north to south is not very big, with more than 5,000 soldiers, and the people in power who clean up several settlements,.。

Zheng Zhi only stayed at the dock and waited, and he had already made up his mind to go to the real Goryeo Dynasty to have a look.

The strait is more than 100 miles away, and on the opposite side is Jeolla Province in Goryeo, which governs Gwangju and Jeonju. Zheng Zhi obviously didn't know this, he just wanted to go ashore to take a look, loot, loot metal products, loot food and women.

Zheng Zhi is obviously a temporary intention, but this temporary intention also seems to indicate the sorrow of many people. The human beings in this world have only a few thousand years of real civilization history, and what happens every year indicates that the essence of human society is also the law of the jungle. No matter how glamorous the garment is, no matter how righteous and awe-inspiring the banner it is, this law has never changed.

Tamna Island, a hundred miles of ground, thousands of iron armor wreaked havoc in it, and there were more than 800 knights. It is raging, but there is no resistance at all.

Zheng Zhi sat in the big tent on the dock, and from the afternoon, a steady stream of people were sent to the barracks.

These people are dressed simply, but they are much better than ordinary people, at least they have some different colors on their bodies, at least they don't know the pure gray and white linen.

Zheng Zhi didn't expect that some of them could speak Song fluently.

"Meet the general of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the villain is Wang Wen, the eighth son of King Qi Shun Wenxiao of the Goryeo Kingdom, and has seen the officials of the Heavenly Empire." A young man in his twenties, not very brightly dressed, crawled out of the kneeling crowd and shouted loudly.

Zheng Zhi had already turned around, looked back when he heard the words, and asked in confusion, "What?" What son of the king? ”

The left and right generals were about to step forward for a beating, but when they saw that Zheng Zhi responded to the person who was yelling, they also stopped.

This person heard Zheng Zhi respond to him, and he was also happy, and said busily: "The villain is the son of King Wenxiao of Goryeo, and the younger brother of the current King of Goryeo. ”

Where did Zheng Zhi know what King Wenxiao of Goryeo was, but at this time, he also understood, and only asked: "Who is King Wenxiao?" Who is the king of Goryeo today? Why are you on Tamna Island? ”

"Back to Shangguan, King Wenxiao is the father of the villain, and he is also the first king, called Wang Mata, and the current king of Goryeo is called Wang Kai, and he just ascended the throne last year. All the villains arrived at this Tamna Island. Wang Wen knelt on the ground and explained to Zheng Zhi, obviously this Wang Wen was also scared today, so many iron armor suddenly arrived on Tamluo Island, but those who resisted, killed countless people, fortunately, Wang Wen saw the opportunity, and he could understand Chinese and write Chinese characters, so he was sent to Zheng Zhi's big tent by the soldiers and officials together.

Zheng Zhi also understood that this Wang Ma was the previous king of Goryeo, and now the new king has just ascended the throne, called Wang Kai, the new king has ascended the throne, and Wang Wen, as the prince, is obviously not welcomed and was exiled to Tamna Island.

The Goryeo Dynasty, also known as Wang's Goryeo, was a state founded in 918 that destroyed Silla and Baekje before unifying the peninsula. This period of time is also a period when China is in the midst of a melee, the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

The first unified state on the Korean Peninsula was not the Goryeo Dynasty, which was also unified by the Tang Dynasty. It's just that Silla was divided again in the later period.

The earliest is the Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla periods, and is known as the Three Kingdoms period of Joseon. After the unification of Silla, it was divided again, and the history is known as the post-Three Kingdoms era. The Goryeo Dynasty was the unifier of the post-Three Kingdoms era.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, that is, during the founding of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Goryeo Dynasty sent the general Li Chenggui to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but he did not expect Li Chenggui to know that he could not fight, so he directly launched a military coup d'Γ©tat, overthrew Wang's Goryeo, established the Joseon Dynasty, and bowed to the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhi didn't know most of these histories, and he didn't know much about the Goryeo Dynasty, let alone talk about the change of kings of the Goryeo Dynasty, so he understood a little more at this time, looked at the younger brother of the Goryeo king who had just ascended the throne in front of him, thought for a moment, and asked: "You are a prince, why did you end up here?" What's the matter with this search? ”

"Back to Shangguan, the villain should have obeyed Brother Wang's arrangement and became a monk, but the villain has followed his father since he was a child, learned more Confucian classics, read more poetry and songs, but he didn't like Buddhism very much, so he angered Brother Wang and was exiled here. Today, I am fortunate to be able to meet Shangguan of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am willing to go to Shangguo with Shangguan, see the elegance of Shangguo, learn the culture of Shangguo, and ask Shangguan to agree. Wang Wen's words were extremely humble, obviously wanting to follow Zheng Zhi to the Great Song Dynasty, and he could have freedom when he went to the Great Song Dynasty.

It is Wang Wen's words, which also explain many things. Goryeo Ruizong Wang Mata is really still a talented man, and he also has poems handed down to the world, and he highly respects Confucianism. is just surviving in the cracks of Liaojin, and this king also deserves to be aggrieved.

Goryeo advocates Buddhism, the new king ascends the throne, and most of the rest of the princes will become monks, which is somewhat similar to Japan, where not only the prince is a monk, but even the abdicated emperor will become a monk, and the abdicated emperor is called the French emperor, and the French emperor's power is very great, even greater than the emperor.

There is another country that has not been said much before, that is, in this era, there is also a Dali country in the southwest, which is also a country that advocates Buddhism, and many royal men are monks.

Zheng Zhi heard Wang Wen's words, and his mind was running rapidly, this Wang Wen did not want to become a monk, and wanted to follow him to the Great Song Dynasty, this matter is worth playing, and it is not impossible, he replied: "It's okay to go to the Song Dynasty with a certain person, come here, give this prince some hot meals." ”

Zheng Zhi obviously has a dark strategy, although it is only a beginning idea, but he has already put it into action, only to hear Zheng Zhi open his mouth and say: "The rest of the people will be beheaded!" ”

After speaking, Zheng Zhi turned around and left, and the military man behind him naturally strictly obeyed the military order and sharpened his sword.

But this Wang Wen was shocked when he heard this, and said busily: "Shangguan, these are all officials and good people under the rule of our country, and my country has always respected the Great Song Dynasty, and I asked Shangguan to release these people." ”

Zheng Zhi turned around, glared at Wang Wen coldly, and then entered the big tent.

Wang Wen saw Zheng Zhi's murderous gaze, and was so frightened that he hurriedly closed his mouth, and when he turned around, he only saw that the ironclad soldiers on the left and right stepped forward to kill, and he was terrified, and he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look again, but there was still a desperate wail in his ears.

After entering the big tent, Wu Yong hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Xianggong Mo doesn't want to help this person... ”

Zheng Zhi raised his hand, and Wu Yong's words that were interrupted nodded again.

Wu Yong saw Zheng Zhi nodding, and already knew Zheng Zhi's thoughts. But he didn't talk much, and he didn't talk much about the topic.

Zheng Zhi obviously has no leisure to plan about Goryeo at this time, but he also has a backhand to leave this Wang Wen behind. The Korean Peninsula is rich in resources, with a lot of coal and iron, lead, zinc, magnesite, and rare earths. These things naturally have to be controlled in their hands, and the development of industry is indispensable for the support of these minerals.

When Zheng Zhi frees up his hands and feet, Wang Wen can make a big fuss. Keeping this person now is to plan for the future. At this time, killing people in front of this Wang Wen is also to deter this person, and try to train an obedient Goryeo prince, who may also be the future king of Goryeo.

After Zheng Zhi sat on the seat, he roasted the fire for a while, and then said: "Send a fast horse to send an order, and all the soldiers will gather and board the ship at noon tomorrow." ”

"Xianggong, but you want to return to Cangzhou?" Wu Yong asked.

Zheng Zhi shook his head and only said: "It seems that the other side of the strait is the Jeolla Province of Goryeo, where there is a Gwangju City, go ashore and take a look, and see what this Goryeo Kingdom looks like." ”

Wu Yong was a little surprised, he just thought that he was going to sea for this time, just for such an island that could accommodate the party members, but he really didn't expect Zheng Zhi to directly hit the idea on the mainland of Goryeo.

Even so, Wu Yong still planned for Zheng Zhi's idea, and after thinking for a while, he began to say: "Xianggong, I heard that Goryeo helped the Liao people to resist the Jin, and the Jin people used to appease Goryeo, but now that the Jin people have become powerful, I am afraid that they will not get along with Goryeo, if Xianggong wants to rob Goryeo, he can negotiate with the Jin people again, and in the future, the two sides will be flanked and they can get benefits." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded and replied: "I haven't thought much about it before I head over, the pedant is very good, after the joint attack on the Liao State, if the covenant is still there, you might as well divide this Goryeo as well." ”

Wu Yong smiled, obviously saying Zheng Zhi's mind again, and said busily: "Xianggong, we have a big ship that can land from the south, and the Jurchen has a fast horse that can attack it from the north." In this way, Goryeo must be unstoppable, and there is a chance that this matter can be done. ”

Zheng Zhi's mind was running rapidly, he really hadn't thought much about it before, and at this time, he felt more and more that this matter could be done, it depended on the attitude of the Jurchens. Even if the Jurchens were unwilling to fight Goryeo with themselves, Zheng Zhi had nothing to lose, and he only waited for his hands and feet to free up his hands and feet before attacking. If the Jurchens are willing to fight Goryeo with themselves, it will not take much effort to destroy Goryeo at the snap of a finger.

"Pedant, and send out the assembled military order, land in Goryeo tomorrow afternoon, bring that Wang Wen with you, and let him lead the way, and the army will go straight to Gwangju." Zheng Zhi thought things through at this time, and he wanted to see Goryeo more and more.
