Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 609: Yenching Road

In the early morning of July 24th, Yue Fei and Wu Jie came to Renzhou City.

At this moment, the Song Army has surrounded Renzhou City!

In later generations, Incheon is famous, but in this era, Inju is just a small town by the sea.

There are only 50,000 or 60,000 people in Renzhou, and with more than 10,000 high-ranking rebels, the population of the entire city is not much at this moment.

The city gate was tightly closed, and the rebel army of Goryeo peasants, dressed in various clothes and armed with various weapons, stood on the wall, looking down in trepidation.

Yue Fei and Wu Jie only observed here for a moment, and they knew that this city was vulnerable! If Song Jun wanted to attack this city of Renzhou, he would be able to defeat it in at most half a day.

However, they still want to persuade the surrender first.

Right now, Yue Fei and Wu Jie rode towards the front, they were getting closer and closer to the city wall, and gradually came to the moat. The moat in Renzhou was also very narrow, and it was impossible to stop the army from moving forward.

Seeing that only the two generals arrived, the Korean people above showed incredible expressions.

"Where is Mr. Jin Canjin?" Wu Jie said with a long laugh.

Jin Can came to the top of the city surrounded by dozens of scholars!

He is very old and very weak, because he hasn't had a good rest for many days, and now his face looks haggard to the extreme! However, he is all righteous and feels awe-inspiring.

"Old man Jin Can has seen two generals!" Jin Can said in a hoarse voice.

"Mr. Kim, do you know that the whole of Goryeo from north to south, from Kaikyo and Pyongyang to Jeju Island and Tsushima Island, all the places have surrendered to me, Dasong, and only Inju City under your feet?" Wu玠道.

His voice was unusually loud, and the Koreans above could hear it clearly, and all the Koreans stayed there for a while.

"I heard." Jin Can nodded and said lightly.

"This small city of Renzhou absolutely cannot stop me from the army of the Great Song Dynasty! God has a good life, and I am unwilling to let the people of Renzhou city encounter the disaster of war, sir, it is better to let the soldiers put down their weapons, I After the army enters the city, it will definitely not oppress the people, what do you think of the sir?" Wu Jie said.

"No!" Jin Can said with a firm gaze in his eyes.

"Why not? Don't you care about the lives of the people in the city?" Wu Jie said.

"Goryeo is my motherland, you are the enemy of invasion, we will never surrender to the enemy!" Jin Can said.

"Your relatives and brothers are all in the country, and some have been captured by us. Are you not afraid that we will kill your relatives and brothers?" Wu Jie smiled and said again.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve both! I can only be loyal to the country and ignore the lives of my loved ones!" Jin Can said without hesitation.

"This person is a loyal minister!" Yue Fei said beside Wu Jie.

Yue Fei still admires this golden can! Since entering Goryeo, almost all the cities have surrendered without a fight. Now that a loyal minister appears, Yue Fei feels really precious.

Wu Jie nodded, he also respected his loyal minister! However, as a general of Song Dynasty, he must also win Renzhou.

"Bring him up!" After a moment of silence, Wu Jie waved his hand abruptly and said to the soldier behind.

Not long after, two soldiers brought a young man in a yellow robe to the city of Inju-it was the King of Goryeo Wang Kai!

what!

In an instant, all the Koreans above stayed there!

"Your Majesty, it's your Majesty! See your Majesty for veterans!" Jin Can's expression changed drastically, and he knelt down suddenly and said.

"Caomin, see your Majesty!" The Koreans on the city wall knelt down and shouted to your Majesty in unison.

Hearing the words "Your Majesty", Wang Kai's face showed a sincere and fearful expression. He secretly glanced at Wu Jie and Yue Fei, lest he provoke Wu Jie and Yue Fei to anger.

"Persuade them to surrender!" Wu Jie said coldly.

"Observe your orders." King Goryeo hurriedly said.

At the moment, the King of Goryeo began to shout loudly to make the Goryeo people above surrender.

"Your Majesty, I and I are all citizens of Korea, how can I surrender to the people of Song Dynasty?" Jin Can couldn't help hearing Wang Kai chattering underneath.

"The lone has surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and from now on, the lone is a courtier of the Song Dynasty! Jin Can, the lonely surrendered, why are you fighting? Who are you defending the city for?" Wang Kai said.

After Wang Kai said this, Jin Can was stunned again, and after a while he became desperate.

The ancient Confucian culture most talked about "loyalty", and the core of Confucianism was the word "loyalty"! But this loyalty is not loyal to the country and the people, but loyal to the king! In ancient times, the most important thing about "stupid loyalty" to the emperor, Yue Fei is a model of foolish loyalty, and this golden can is also a model of foolish loyalty!

But now his allegiance kings have surrendered to others, what reason does he have, and for whom can he continue to fight?

There was chaos in Jin Can's mind, and he didn't know how to answer Wang Kai's words.

Song Jun used the King of Goryeo to persuade the surrender of Inju City, not only Jincan could not handle it, but all the Koreans above were at a loss at this moment!

"Immediately open the city gate to welcome Master Wang to enter the city! Master Wang is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and will never invade the people!" Wang Kai shouted from below.

After about a quarter of an hour, the city gate finally opened slowly, and Song Jun began to rush towards Renzhou City!

The Koreans above did not stop Song Jun, and most of them were as desperate as Jin Can.

Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Wang Kai and others headed towards the city. The Koreans here knelt down one after another, but Jin Can still stood there.

Yue Fei and the others came to Jin Can. Jin Can looked at Wang Kai, sighed and knelt down in front of Wang Kai.

"His Majesty, soon you will go to Yanjing to pay homage to my Majesty Song. My Majesty Song will personally canonize your majesty! Your majesty’s relatives and children will also go to Yanjing with your majesty! Mr. Jin, get up and follow. Your great king go to see our majesty!" Wu Jie said.

Jin Can was still kneeling there. He slowly hugged Wang Kai's legs and couldn't help crying, but Wang Kai's face showed an expression of impatientness.

Standing at the head of the city, Yue Fei looked into the distance, with excitement in his heart!

It only took two months for Song Jun to lay down the entire territory of Goryeo! After that, Goryeo became a part of the Song Dynasty and could become a sea barrier for Yenching to protect the safety of the Song Dynasty capital! The main reason why Song Jun was able to take down the entire territory of Goryeo in such a fast time was because of his surprise and proper planning, so that he was able to take down Goryeo like a broken bamboo!

"General Yue, I'm afraid that Goryeo will have to implement military control for half a year, like Liaodong and other places, before returning to normal governance slowly. We have to discuss military management matters carefully! From now on we will station troops in Goryeo. We also need to discuss the number of soldiers, and then report it to the Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Headquarters!" Wu Jie said.

"Okay! Gaoli and Liaodong are one body. The land can be owned by the Liaodong Military Region, but there are several important islands that can become naval bases!" Yue Fei said.

The two of them are here to discuss the affiliation of Goryeo, not to mention it.

The autumn mood is getting stronger and stronger, and the mountains in the Central Plains have become golden yellow. At this moment, outside of Yanjing City, an army of more than a thousand people is coming towards the direction of Yanjing City.

This team came from the east. There were dozens of carriages in the team, some carrying goods, and some people sitting in them.

In the middle of the carriage, there is a young man and an old man sitting here.

The young man still wears a yellow robe. It is the former King of Korea, Wang Kai, while the old man is Jincan.

From Tianjin to Yanjing, the road is extremely wide and flat!

For such a path, Wang Kai praised it, but Jin Can just looked at it.

"Master Jin, I heard that the roads from Yanjing to Hanzhong, Yanjing to Kaifeng, and Yanjing to Liaoyang Prefecture are all such roads. This is really a magnificent project!" Wang Kai said.

Jin Can nodded.

He pulled the car curtain open, the autumn sun shone on him, and he could see sorghum fields everywhere on both sides of the road!

At this moment, the sorghum is close to maturity, and there is no other scenery besides this sorghum field for more than ten miles along the way.

This wide gravel road and endless sorghum fields actually shocked Jin Can.

"Master Jin, have you seen the canals on both sides of the road? From Tianjin Wei to Yanjing, there are canals everywhere!" Wang Kai said.

"The Han people are really amazing. In just a few years, the agriculture in the Yanyun area has been completely restored! In these few years, they have distributed all the fertile land to the farmers, and they have built so many water conservancy facilities. I still hear Said that they provided countless cattle and farm tools to the people of Yanyun! Not only Yanyun, but also the entire Song Dynasty!" Jin Can said.

"Yes, the Han people are indeed amazing." Wang Kai said.

"Your Majesty, after you arrive at Yanjing, you may have a hard time!" Jin Can said.

"Bitter days? Da Song's generals have already said that they will not treat us badly." Wang Kai said.

"How can the king of the subjugated country have a road that is not too hard? In the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, the Lords of the Southern Tang and Houshu were all prepared to be killed, and the women were all occupied by the Emperor of the Great Song! A few days ago, the city of Kaifeng was broken, the two of the Great Song Wasn't this emperor also brought to the north and suffered all the hardships? Your Majesty, don't expect the Song people to treat us well." Jin Can smiled bitterly.

"This..." Wang Kai was sitting there, his body trembling slightly with a look of horror on his face.

"Your Majesty, the old minister will desperately protect your Majesty!" Jin Can said.

"Don't call me your majesty anymore, you can call me Hou Ye from now on. I am no longer the King of Korea." Wang Kai said.

"In the heart of the old minister, you will always be my master!" Jin Can said.

Wang Kai sat there blankly, unconscious, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The convoy was still moving forward, and Jin Can was constantly observing the situation of Da Song.

In the afternoon, they came to the gate of Yanjing City.

It can be seen that there are countless people coming and going at the gate of the city. They don't even have to pay the city tax when entering and leaving Yanjing City, which makes Jin Can even more surprised.

After entering Yanjing City, wherever they went, the soldiers drove the people aside. The people in Yanjing City were all talking about it, not knowing who they were doing in the carriage.

Jin Can is still observing everything here. He sees that this street is full of shops, all shops are crowded with people, and there is a real flow of people! There are various goods in the shops, some are selling some farm tools, some are selling some cotton, some are selling some jade, and some are some furniture!

In the distance, there are also the people of Yanjing City overlooking here!

There are hardly any people in Yanjing City who have yellow and thin faces, and almost all of them have a relaxed expression on their faces! There are not many beggars here, a prosperous scene.

"Prosperity, prosperity!" Jin Can sighed again.

As soon as the convoy left, the soldiers let go of the people again. The people no longer paid attention to the convoy, but continued to do their own things.

The team went all the way, and there was a flourishing scene everywhere, and Jin Can was full of emotion in his heart.

After walking, I don't know how long they took, and they came to another street.

This street is unusually wide, and there are many scholars on the street.

"Master Jin, there are bookstores everywhere!" Wang Kai was also attracted by the sight of the city at this moment, said.

"Yeah, I have seen at least 20 bookstores along the way! I also listened to those scholars discussing the price of paper. One hundred rice paper only costs ten cents, which is really cheap!" Jin Can said.

"This Yanjing City is really big!" Wang Kai said.

"This place is almost ten times as large as Kaijing, and the people here are much wealthier than those in Kaijing! Whether it is agriculture, commerce, or culture and education, they are extremely powerful! The Song army is also strong in the Han and Tang Dynasties! People used to say Han and Tang Dynasties. We haven't seen the flourishing age, but I think the real Han and Tang Dynasty flourishing age is not as good as the Great Song Dynasty flourishing age in front of us!" Jin Can said.

During the Han and Tang Dynasties, China's population was too small, much worse than the Song Dynasty! Coupled with the implementation of the rent reduction order and other systems in the Song Dynasty, the economy has developed rapidly, and the lives of ordinary people have exceeded the prosperous period of Han and Tang Dynasties.

"Your Majesty, now do you know how far we are from Da Song?" Jin Can said.

"I regret it in my lonely heart! If I had known that Song Dynasty was so strong, I would never have any extravagant hope for Liaodong, and I would not hesitate to declare to the Emperor Song Dynasty! Hey!" Wang Kai said.

"In fact, we used to claim courtiers to Song Dynasty before! After seeing the Emperor Song Dynasty later, I want to ask him why he sent troops to us? We are their subjects, and they have no reason to treat us like this!" Jin Can said.

"Master Jin, never!" Wang Kai said in shock.

"Your Majesty, all the consequences are borne by the old minister!" Jin Can said.

They are still talking, but the team has stopped at the moment.

"The imperial palace is here!" The Song Army soldier's voice heard outside, and Wang Kai's body trembled again.
