Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 150 Horse Trading

------------

Yang Xiong took a few soldiers towards the Goryeo Palace, and soon came to the palace. When he entered the meeting room, he found that the rest of the people had already arrived.

"Governor, I'm late." Yang Xiong said with some shame.

"You're going to see your father-in-law, so it's normal to be late. How about those two Korean princesses, are you in the mood?" Wu Dong said with a smile.

A rare tinge of red appeared on Yang Xiong's face, and everyone in the meeting room burst into laughter.

"Governor, they are Wang Yu's daughters after all, don't worry, I won't miss them." When everyone's laughter stopped, Yang Xiong said hastily.

"No matter whose daughters they are, they are all your daughters now. I gave them to you as wives and concubines in order to make you happier. Don't treat them poorly just because of their identities." Wu Dong laughed.

Yang Xiong is good at everything, but he is a little too withdrawn.Wu Dong doesn't like his subordinates to be like this forever. He hopes that all his subordinates can have their own happy life and have their own families.

"Thank you, Commander!" Yang Xiong said gratefully.

Up to now, although Wu Dong has ascended the throne and became the king of Liang, he still serves as the governor of Liangshan, so many generals have always called him "Great Governor", and only those Koreans will always call him "Liangwang".

"Governor, what are we mainly discussing today? Is it going to war again?" Yang Xiong asked excitedly before sitting down in his seat.

"Are you going to war? Yes, we are going to war, but it's a naval battle, so it's not your turn." Wu Dong laughed.

"Ah!" Yang Xiong showed a disappointed expression on his face, while Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Jun and others became excited.

"Governor, where are we going to fight?" Ruan Xiaoqi asked hastily.

"There is no need to rush this matter. Let's discuss other matters first. After all the discussions are over, we will discuss this matter in detail." Wu Dong laughed.

At present, the military aircraft meeting in Liangshan is held, and the first thing to discuss is the restoration of Korea's economy.Although the local tyrants were hunted down and the land was divided, ordinary people in Goryeo have obtained their own land. This year's agricultural harvest must not be low.But after the war, most of Korea's industry and commerce were destroyed, and now Korea's industry and commerce are in danger of being paralyzed. 4∴8065

"Li Gang, I will leave it to you to restore Korea's economy. We must vigorously encourage industry and commerce. For those Koreans who intend to join industry and commerce, we can even provide some funds. Of course, the most important thing is to encourage us Han people to invest in industry and commerce in Korea. , so that we Han people can make money here." Wu Dong said.

"It's natural! Governor, don't worry, I will definitely do this well." Li Gang said.

"There is one more thing, to build roads vigorously." Wu Dong said.

"Building roads? What's the use? Is the conscript going to build roads?" Li Gang said.

"Building roads is conducive to promoting commerce and trade... The roads are smooth, and business exchanges are naturally close. As for the conscripts, I don't think there is any need for them. Isn't there 10 Red Guards? Let the 10 Red Guards go to build roads first. "Wu Dong said.

Gang nodded in agreement.

Wu Dong thought carefully and found that Goryeo is really complicated and has a lot of things.During this period, the navy brought in many Han Chinese, most of whom were concentrated in Incheon and Seoul. How to resettle these Han Chinese is also an important matter.

"Gongsun Sheng, I'll leave it to you to resettle our Han people. We're going to build a new city in Seoul, and I'll leave it to you. Also, I'm going to expand Incheon City. You and Li Gang will discuss this matter. , Make a plan. In the future, Incheon City will become the largest port under our Liangshan, this must not be neglected." Wu Dong said.

"Yes, Chief Governor." Gongsun Sheng wrote down all these and nodded.

"Now we have too many things to do. We also need to expand the shipyard and expand the ordnance manufacturing. I want to send a dedicated person to take charge. Does anyone of you have a suitable candidate and recommend it to me?" Wu Dong road.

"This..." Everyone lowered their heads and pondered, and couldn't think of any suitable candidates after thinking for a long time.

"It seems that this matter is still left to Shishi to handle." Wu Dong secretly thought.

Now Li Shishi is in charge of the shipyard and craftsman camp, but as a woman, it is difficult for Li Shishi to show her face all the time in this era, so Wu Dong wanted to find another one. It seems that there is no suitable candidate for the time being.

"Governor, we can get ships and ordnance from the imperial court, so we don't have to worry too much about it?" Wu Yong said cautiously.

"This is impossible. The imperial court will find out our true identity sooner or later. Can we still get ships and ordnance from them? So we have to strengthen our own production." Wu Dong said.

How important is Liangshan's occupation of Goryeo, Jin Guo already knows, and it will probably spread to Liao soon, and then to Song Dynasty, which may lead to more ships and ordnance. "Hua Rong said.

"Well, that's the reason. Wu Yong, you and Zhu Gui go to Bianliang again, and you must dig out more ships and ordnance from the imperial court. I will bring you a lot of gold and silver, and you go to bribe them." Those courtiers, bribed those eunuchs. This may be the last time we have dug something from the court." Wu Dong said.

"Don't worry, the governor, I promise to complete this task very well." Wu Yong laughed loudly.To be honest, he misses Bianliang a little bit, that is the place where he made great achievements and may be famous in history in the future.There, there is still Yang Jian, a "good friend".

"Let's talk about naval battles next. In fact, launching naval battles is not just to occupy land, but to clear the sea lanes and prepare for horse sales." Wu Dong said.

"Horse dealer?" Everyone suddenly became curious.

This time, they defeated Goryeo and got [-] good horses from the Goryeo people, and the number of cavalry has been expanded.But relatively speaking, there are still too few cavalry.So Liangshan needs to sell horses, and Liangshan is now in Koryo, and the first thing to enter after crossing the Great Wall is the country of Jin, and it is extremely difficult to sell horses.Everyone is very curious now. They don't know what method Wu Dong uses to sell horses, and they don't know what relationship horse sales have to clear the sea.

"Hua Rong and I discussed this matter together. Hua Rong, tell me about it," Wu Dong said.

Hua Rong stood up and came to the map hanging in the meeting hall.Now this map is not just a map of Koryo, but a huge map including Jin Kingdom, Liao Kingdom, Great Song Dynasty, Annan, Dongying and other places.Almost occupying the entire wall, this is where the future goal of Liangshan lies, and Koryo is only the first step.

"According to the result of my discussion with the governor, we will go to the north by boat, land from the extreme north, and then go to the ancient Meng grassland to sell horses from the ancient Meng grassland. Duan Jingzhu has already been notified that he is already there We have prepared a large number of war horses, as long as we go there, we can bring them back." Hua Rong said.

Hua Rong held a wooden stick in his hand and had already pointed out all the locations.The so-called "land of the extreme north" refers to the north of the Outer Xing'an Mountains, where it is extremely desolate and almost no one lives there.The Menggu Grassland refers to the current Outer Menggu area, and the Inner Menggu is still the territory of the Khitan people and does not belong to the Menggu people.

"Is this path feasible?" Luan Tingyu asked in disbelief.

"It's feasible. We have already sent people to explore that road. We set off in February and just returned yesterday, so we held this military meeting today to focus on this issue," Hua Rong said.

"Since it's feasible, that's great, we can have more horses from now on!" Luan Tingyu said excitedly.

"Yes! It's really great!" The rest of Yang Xiong and others also became excited.

Through the Koryo War and through the contact with real women, everyone in Liangshan realized the power of the cavalry.If this road is feasible, then Liangshan will have a steady stream of war horses in the future.

"However, there are still many dangers on that road, and the road is not easy to walk. We need to send a strong general to go there, clear the roads when encountering mountains, and build bridges when encountering rivers, so as to be familiar with that road." Wu Dong said.

"Governor, Commander, I am willing to lead the troops to walk that road, and I must bring the horse back!" Yang Xiong stood up suddenly and said loudly.

"Governor, I'm willing to go too!" Luan Tingyu also hurriedly stood up and said.

"Great Governor, why don't you let me go?" Sun Li, the commander of the new Fifth Army in Liangshan, also stood up, looking at Wu Dong with longing eyes, and said.

"As for who will sell horses, you need to decide on your own, and then report to me. But before selling horses, you must clear the sea lanes. This sea area is not safe enough, and there are many pirates. In addition, we are also planning to send the nearby The islands are all occupied, especially the two big islands in the north, Kushima and Hokkaido. These two big islands can become a transit point for our horse sales, and we can even raise horses on them. These are things that the Navy will do. "Wu Dong said.

Kudao is located in the extreme north. It was already Chinese territory during the Tang Dynasty. It was called "Kuyue" at that time, and later it was called "Bitter".When the Kingdom of Jin becomes strong, it will also occupy that territory.Later, when the meng ancients were powerful, they also occupied Kudao.Kudao can be said to be the largest island in China before, with an area twice that of Taiwan.Now Kudao has not been occupied by the Jin people, there are some aborigines on it, the number is very small, and it is very easy to occupy there.

As for Hokkaido, it is not yet the territory of the Japanese, and the Japanese did not land on Hokkaido until the 16th century.In Hokkaido today, the aborigines are the Ainu people, also known as "Mao people". They have very long hair on their faces and bodies, and they are the most densely haired people found in the world. The number of mao people is not much, it is estimated that there are at most a hundred thousand, and it is very easy to occupy there.

Those two islands are very cold, and there are a lot of vegetation on them. It should be possible to raise horses, but everything needs experimentation.

"Your navy will come up with a charter and set off tomorrow to clear the sea lanes and occupy these two big islands." Wu Dong said.
