In fact, from beginning to end, Cho Hyo-seok never thought that Kim Yuna's identity could be kept secret. As the royal princess of the former Silla, her existence has always been a thorn in the heart of the Goryeo royal family, and she wants to get rid of it quickly.

But now Jin Yuna has been canonized as the concubine of the Great Song Yi, and her special identity has made her affairs become the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty. Under some provocation, it seems to be a very logical thing for Goryeo to declare war on the Great Song Dynasty.

Everyone felt that at present, the Great Song Dynasty had to deal with the alliance between the Great Liao and the Jurchens, and also had to guard against the attack of Tibet. After the addition of Goryeo, the Great Song Dynasty can also be said to be attacked from all sides, and its danger is self-evident.

It's just that Zhao Xiaoxi, as the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, has the status of Xixia and Dali's concubine, so that he also has two natural allies. Even if there is some smell of grass on the wall in Western Xia, as long as he does not move, the Great Song Dynasty will not fall behind in dealing with the invasion of these states.

With the issuance of Cho Hyo-seok's order, the navy that wandered away from the vicinity of Dengju blocked the coastal transportation of Goryeo for the first time. Even their trade from the Wa Kingdom was also detained by the navy, and they were not allowed to enter the territory of Goryeo.

In addition, in his early years, Zhao Hyo-seok arranged spy personnel along the coast of Goryeo to assassinate the chief officials of various cities at the first time. While Goryeo was happy to detain the caravan of the new southern city, all the ports along the coast turned into a dead city.

At the same time, the cavalry led by Qiao Feng also marched to the area bordering Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty. In the face of the arrival of this powerful cavalry, the Goryeo side could only defend and did not dare to launch any attack at all.

At the same time, it was not easy to find the Jurchen and Da Liao, who were the substitutes for the dead ghosts, and also hoped to drag down the Great Song Dynasty with the help of Goryeo. Nature watched from the sidelines, quietly waiting for the outcome of the war. Ensure that the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty does not attack Goryeo.

It's just that Da Song's movements are unexpectedly fast. Li Yuncong, who received Zhao Xiaoxi's order, summoned his naval officers and men as soon as possible. Assembled in the Ryukyu Islands, after swearing to the army, he sent troops to Goryeo, and he never thought of relying on the support of the Great Song army.

With a powerful navy to rely on, as soon as Li Yuncong arrived in the waters of Goryeo, he arranged several fleets to completely blockade Goryeo on land. Nothing can be shipped. Of course, it is impossible to transport it in.

On the other hand, Qiao Feng, who blocked the defense line between Goryeo and the Jurchen tribes. Any caravan that dared to pass through his garrison was to be seized. If it was a Goryeo or Jurchen caravan, all of them would be killed.

Blocked all of Goryeo's access to the sea, and blew up or towed away all the ships they could get to sea. The Goryeo monarchs and ministers immediately realized how serious the consequences of provoking the Great Song were. Even if the army is not used, the navy will also make it difficult for them to deal with it.

After completing the strategic goal of blockading Goryeo, Li Yunaccompanied the assembled marines from various naval bases and officially landed directly at the port of Goryeo taken over by the Qiongzhou Navy. Equipped with artillery and second-generation muskets, the Goryeo army was routed when touched.

In the face of the menacing arrival of the Qiongzhou army of the Great Song Dynasty, the soldiers rushed straight to the palace of Kaicheng, and the emperor of Goryeo was also a little panicked. began to think about whether to move the capital to Pyongyang in order to lengthen the strategic supply line of the Song army.

For the choice of the Goryeo emperor, Li Yuncong followed the instructions of Cho Hyo-seok to send the admiralty of the descendants of the original Silla. All sent to the occupied cities. It is good to promote the Great Song Dynasty, and it is good to Silla. At the same time, he also listed the disadvantages of the Goryeo royal family.

At the same time, the Goryeo people who were attached to the occupation army were given the greatest possible assistance. Anyway, the navy, which has the backing of Xinnancheng, has no worries about simple materials such as food. And if you can eat a full stomach, the people don't care who is the emperor at all.

Adopting the strategy of grain conscription, Li Yuncong gave the surrendered Goryeo generals. A decree was issued. Canonized them as generals of the Restoration Army, and continued to command the Goryeo soldiers in battle. It's just that the object of the battle has been changed to the Goryeo side.

This method of using razing to control razing will allow the naval units to completely free up their hands for landing operations. It will belong to the national wealth of Goryeo. Little by little, it was emptied to New South City. At the same time, the nobles of the big families of Goryeo also became the object of conquest.

In short, after Cho Hyo-seok's will was issued, the Goryeo Emperor found that there seemed to be a rift in the state capital under his rule. But the reinforcements that the Jurchens and Da Liao had promised could not be fulfilled for a long time.

In desperation, the Goryeo emperor had no choice but to temporarily move the capital to Pyongyang, so as to prolong the existence of the state as much as possible. It was only this move that opened the imperial city and completely surrendered it to the naval landing force.

Looking at the Great Song army that stepped into the Imperial City of Goryeo, the people of Goryeo in the Imperial City also knew that this war could not be blamed on the Great Song Dynasty. It was their monarch who first provoked the war, and the defeat came so quickly.

Li Yuncong, who arrived in Kaesong, soon received a will from Cho Hyo-seok. Let him follow the line of Kaesong and first recover the state city on the line of the Wa Kingdom. As for the Goryeo emperor who was trapped in Pyongyang, it would be no problem for him to breathe for a while longer.

In order to gain the approval of the Goryeo people as much as possible, Cho Hyo-seok subjugated the descendants of the original Silla under the navy, and arranged for the literati and generals to be the military and political chiefs of the reconquest area. This move quickly calmed down the unstable situation in the locality.

Seeing that half of the territory had fallen into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, the Goryeo Emperor also had a feeling of regret. After ordering Park Yongchang, who exposed Kim Yuna's identity, to be beheaded to show the public, in order to vent his hatred, he sent someone to propose peace to the Great Song Dynasty.

When the envoy of Goryeo arrived at the Kaesong Imperial Palace, where Li Yuncong was sitting, he met the naval commander who usually did not show his way in the new southern city. Li Yuncong also followed the etiquette and received the Goryeo mission.

Looking at the peace request of this official of the Goryeo Ministry of Rites, Li Yuncong said very calmly: "If you want to negotiate peace at this time, it is naturally not impossible. It's just that your country has broken the rules of New South City, and you must make corresponding compensation.

I believe that Lord Shilang also knows that New South City is established by business, and the rules of commerce are the rules of New South City. What your country did some time ago made the merchants of all countries who were doing business in New South City very angry, and unanimously proposed that they must be severely punished.

Had your country been able to make reasonable compensation for the previous seizure of the caravanserais, you would have proposed that the fighting be stopped. But at present, these territories are no longer within the control of the general, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Restoration Army. ”

In order to avoid irritating some island countries, the New Namseong Navy sent troops to Goryeo this time, more in the name of crusading against Goryeo and seizing caravans. As long as they compensate, the resulting commercial losses, the Navy can consider withdrawing.

Hearing that Li Yuncong did not refuse the peace talks, this waiter of the Ministry of Rites who received a secret order from the Goryeo Emperor and promised not to kill them all can agree to any conditions. Seeing the compensation list issued by Li Yun, he was directly paralyzed to the ground in fright.

The compensation of more than 10 million silver taels cannot afford even if the Goryeo royal family sells it. What's more, the war during this period has already emptied the treasury of Goryeo. With so many taels of silver, how could they afford to lose it?

As if seeing the shock of this waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yuncong said politely: "I believe that Lord Squire, I also saw the compensation list listed above." Our business in New South City is truly fair and just, and every compensation is well documented.

Don't think that we are opening our mouths, this compensation is a very fair compensation list. As long as you take out these indemnity taels, our navy will leave your country. In the final analysis, one more day of delay will also delay our navy's business! ”

Regarding Li Yuncong's answer, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was crying and mourning, said with a little discussion: "General Li, can this silver be repaid in several installments?" Right now, we really can't afford it! ”

Facing the answer of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yuncong thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to repay it in installments." It's just that adults should know that the current situation in Goryeo doesn't seem to be good, are you sure you can pay it back?

And if you repay it in installments, some of the money will have to be paid in advance to the merchant who was damaged this time. This compensation figure is quite a lot, should the corresponding interest be discussed? ”

As a result, the general in charge of naval logistics was found and told the corresponding payment and loan interest, and the ceremonial squire was dumbfounded again. He knew that if this kind of loan agreement was signed, Gao Li was afraid that there would be no rice to boil in the future.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who is not left or right, can only say in the end that it is about this peace meeting. He needs to go back to Pyongyang and report to their monarch before deciding on the matter. He is a squire, and he can't make such a decision.

Regarding the departure of this waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yuncong said very politely: "Lord Squire, don't worry! The general could have given you an idea, since this war was instigated by the Jurchens and Da Liao.

So now, you can ask them to borrow money! I will not send troops to support the past that you have said, but I will not lend you even money. That means they don't see you as allies at all. What is the use of such an ally?

When the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty heard that you had beheaded that traitor for public display, the dragon's heart was overjoyed, so he agreed slightly and gave you a chance to atone for your sins. If you can kill those who instigated you to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty, I believe that the Great Song Emperor will be even happier. ”

understands that the lobbyists sent by Murong Fu to Goryeo also have no way to leave because the entire territory of Goryeo is blocked. And the Goryeo emperor is also not stupid, and will not easily put these hostages back to the Jurchens.

Listening to Li Yuncong's suggestion, this waiter of the Ministry of Rites also knew that this was forcing the Goryeo Emperor to make a choice. Kill those who sent Goryeo by their allies, then declare that Goryeo and Jurchen are still Daliao, and end the alliance completely.

If you don't kill those people, you will continue to attack the city and plunder the land at this moment, and collect the Goryeo troops for the Great Song Dynasty. In the same way, there is no need to send their troops, and they only need to pay some money and food to completely overthrow Goryeo.

If there is no Goryeo, what is the point of more money? But the crux of the question is, if you kill those people, will Da Song really open the net? This kind of unknown is what this squire is most worried about! (To be continued......)
