Chapter 229 Target Goryeo
The first, tenth, twentieth, and last day of the month are the days when the emperor gives lectures to the guard camp. The troops prepare early and wait for the emperor's arrival.

Zhu Qing, the imperial eunuch, sat in the back with a few students, prepared paper and ink, and prepared to write down what the emperor said, and if appropriate, publish it in the newspaper.

After a while, the emperor walked in.

He had a smile on his face and looked very happy.

I just had a day off and received the trophies sent back from Jiangbei Marine Division. Can I be unhappy?

"Meet your Majesty." Everyone saluted.

"No courtesy." Zhao Shi started to lecture.

"As you all know, the Jiangbei Marine Division completely annihilated the Tatar Bohai Bay Marine Division and bombarded Zhigukou. During this period, it encountered a Tatar artillery counterattack. Two ships were damaged, 12 people were killed and six were injured."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why the emperor mentioned the things in the battle report.

After each battle, the chief general had to write a battle report and submit it to the court. One was to report the situation, and the other was to learn from his colleagues. This was already stipulated by the Song Army.

"Just in the evening, the Jiangbei Navy sent five captured artillery pieces from the Yuan army. I have already ordered them to be shipped. You can watch them together."

"Long live your Majesty!" the crowd immediately shouted.

Zhu Qing stopped writing and said to his left and right: "It's a matter of confidentiality. Don't record it. Let's go and take a look at it later."

"Thank you for the wine sacrifice." The student immediately put down his pen.

Everyone has heard about cannons, but the military keeps them strictly confidential. Only a few people who have seen them with their own eyes are just out of curiosity.

After a while, the personal guards came to report that the artillery had been transported, and Zhao Shi took everyone out to see it.

The outside is six inches thick, but the muzzle is only three inches. It is about six feet six long. It is made of pure iron and has a very rough appearance.

"Compared with the cannons of the same power of the Guo Dynasty, this cannon is twice as heavy and [-]% heavier. In other words, the Guo Dynasty cast two cannons and the Yuan Dynasty only had one.

Moreover, the Jiangbei Marine Division conducted experiments, and its range was only [-]% of that of the Kuomintang, and its accuracy was also far behind. If the Marine Division had not underestimated the enemy and got too close, there would have been no damage. " Zhao Shi said.

This is only approximate data. In fact, there are also details, such as the lack of aiming devices for Yuanlu's artillery, non-optimal ratio of gunpowder, ungranulated gunpowder, unfixed loading, etc.

The gunpowder was mixed by luck, and the artillery only needed an idea. It was not difficult with Yuanting's huge reserves of people and materials, but the seemingly inconspicuous details that were very helpful to the combat effectiveness could not be figured out without long-term use experience.

"Everyone." Zhao Shi touched the cannon and said, "The one who has authority is martial, the one who debates, the one who controls. In short, the one who uses force to protect the system.

Since ancient times, China has been strong and powerful, and it has come from all directions, taking Chinese clothes as its beauty, taking Chinese language as its most precious thing, and taking Chinese etiquette as its teacher.

It was just that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the towns were divided and dominated, and the northern barbarians took the opportunity to grow bigger. First there were the Khitans, then the Jurchens, and now there are the Mongols. Therefore, the prestige of the country was declining day by day, causing the vassal vassals to become disengaged and all countries to stop the government. "

Everyone looked at each other for a while and couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Your Majesty wants to use troops against vassal states?"

"There is nothing wrong with having a lot of wealth overseas, but the Yuan captives are not destroyed, so it is not appropriate to disperse power."

"I think we can attack Goryeo, which can not only cut off the arm of the Yuan Dynasty, but also respond to Shandong."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy. Wang Zhen is very determined."

"Just fight, how can there be any rebels under the gun?" Zhao Shi listened and laughed in his heart.

It has to be said that these young soldiers already have an overall vision. Of course, they may also be speculating on the holy will.

After everyone returned to silence, Zhao Shi continued: "Now the country has won many battles, but it has never declared its power to the outside world. It is my intention to send troops to attack Goryeo!"

Conquering Goryeo is of great benefit. Not only has Yuanting been weakened, it can also be used as a logistics sub-base for the Northern Expedition.

In a narrow sense, the Northern Expedition is of course going to Yuan Dadu. Occupying Koryo can form a two-pronged attack with Shandong, but in a broad sense, there is no end. In theory, it should be Yuanjing all the way to the Arctic Circle. Using Koryo as a starting base will save a lot of money. time.

Now that Goryeo is sending people and food to help the Yuan army fight against the Japanese, won't they send people and food to help the Song army fight against the Yuan country in the future?

The most important thing is that although Yuanting has artillery, it is impossible to give it to Goryeo, and it will not even give it to Tianlei, so it will not be too difficult to attack.

"Please come out to fight!" Everyone immediately bowed.

"You have been training for a long time, and it is time to go into battle. Wait for the order from the Privy Council." Zhao Shi said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked him.

Just when the emperor was taking advantage of the opportunity to give lessons to the guard camp, Hu Feng walked into the Goryeo Palace.

The subordinates of Gong Yi, the emperor of Taifeng, revolted and supported Wang Jian as king, establishing the country of Goryeo.

At that time, the vassal towns in the Central Plains were separatist, and Wang Jian adopted a major policy towards the Central Plains dynasty. He was sent to the Later Liang Dynasty for six years, and to the Later Tang Dynasty for eight years, but he did not become a minister. The following year, he was canonized by the Later Tang Dynasty as Tejin, Taibao of the Inspector, Envoy Chijie, Governor of Xuantu Prefecture, Shangzhu Kingdom, Chongda Yijun Envoy, and King of Goryeo. At the same time, he was granted the reign title by Heaven and was given the title of Zhengshuo by the Later Tang Dynasty, officially becoming the Central Plains Dynasty. The vassal state was merged with Silla in the second year of Qingtai (11), and Baekje was destroyed the following year, realizing the unification of the peninsula.

He initially had good relations with the Khitan, but later felt that the Khitan was in danger because of its great power, and asked the later Jin Dynasty to attack the Khitan from a flank, but to no avail.

The Song Kingdom was established immediately, and Goryeo proclaimed itself a vassal. However, in the fourth year of Chunhua, it was defeated by the Khitan invasion and became a Khitan vassal. Although the relationship with the Song Kingdom continued, it was ennobled by the Khitan and was no longer a vassal of the Song Kingdom.

When Wanyan Aguda founded the country, he and Goryeo were brothers and allowed Goryeo to occupy Baozhou. After the Jin destroyed the Liao Dynasty, Goryeo had to surrender to the Jin to protect the country. In the 12th year of Shaoxing, Goryeo Renzong accepted the canonization of Jin Xizong and enshrined Jin Zhengshuo. Formally establish the relationship between Jinli suzerain and vassal.

In the second year of Jianyan's reign, Emperor Gaozong sent envoys to Goryeo to ask for gold deposits, but they were refused. Diplomatic relations began to end but business travel continued.

In the 12th year of Jiading in the Song Dynasty (1219), the Mongolian army invaded Goryeo and forced the fraternal country to pay tribute. Later, the Mongolian envoy was killed, and the Mongols invaded in large numbers, and Goryeo became a vassal.

Different from the previous submission of public opinion, officials were stationed in Yuanting. Although the Korean people continued to resist, the general trend could not be changed.

In the 11th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1274), Wang Chen, the crown prince of Goryeo, married Princess Kudulu Jieli, the daughter of Kublai Khan. The next month, Emperor Yuanzong of Goryeo passed away, and Wang Chen was enfeoffed and succeeded to the throne, changing his name to Zhen.

When Wang Zhen returned to China, he was completely dressed as a Mongolian. Although the Koreans lamented their loss of decency, they were glad that the country had since become stable.

In addition, Wang Zhen also downgraded the official system and titles, shaved his hair and changed clothes, paid tribute to virgins, set up an eagle workshop, etc., and actively cooperated with the Yuan army in the Eastern Expedition. Because he was respectful enough, he won the right to take back the northwest (Dongning Mansion) and Dandan. Luo territory, cancellation of Daru Huachi and other practical benefits.

In short, Wang Zhen was indeed a good son-in-law of Kublai Khan and a good husband of the Yuan Kingdom.

Therefore, Hu Feng did not dare to reveal his identity, but presented himself as a Yuan businessman.

At the beginning, Hu Feng spent a lot of money and made many friends, including Hudulu Jieli's lost subordinates. With this crooked pillow wind, he was able to see Wang Zhen in the name of selling cars.

Yes, the emperor's new car was sold to the Japanese and then taken back. Now it has been transported to Korea, and it has become a stepping stone for Hu Feng to get close to Wang Yan.
