Goryeo opened Beijing, in Half Moon City.

Banyuecheng is the inner city of Kaijing, with a large area, but most of the areas are occupied by the dense forests of Songyue Mountain, and there are not too many flat lands. However, even the small flat land is mostly "forest parks". Only the south gate of Banyuecheng leads to the palace full moon platform on both sides of the avenue, scattered with some buildings that look like the landlords of the Song Dynasty. Most of them are the various yamen of the Goryeo Kingdom court and the mansions of a group of high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are also several more magnificent temples of the Goryeo monks.

The situation is similar to that of the Liao Kingdom. Goryeo is also a place where monks and nuns are flooded. Even among the Wang royal family, many princes were seen through the world and shave their heads and become monks.

Next to a temple called Huayan East Temple, there is a large mansion wrapped in a tall rammed earth wall. The door of the house is closed, and there are several murderous Biewu squad heroes standing guard outside the door. Judging from this posture, you will know that the person living here is an amazing person.

There were a row of horse-tie pillars outside the house, and one or two short Dan Romes were tied (this Danroe pony no longer exists on Danroe Island and was sold to Goryeo and Japan, and the horse farms on Danroe Island were all used to raise Tianjin horses). There were also some slaves and guards, squatting in groups of three or three under the rammed earth wall, and some people were placed with strange-looking wheelbarrows. This was also a tool for transportation for Goryeo officials. In the past, Goryeo was not popular as the Song Dynasty. When officials went out, they rode horses and donkeys, and then there were such unicycles. So on the streets of Koryeo Kaijing, they saw a neat robes and long-bearded official sitting on a wheelbarrow sideways, pushed by a thin and poor lower-middle peasant. It was not surprising at all.

The slaves and guards gathered at the base of the earthen wall outside the house were idle and started talking about Xixishuosuo. What they were talking about was not about family matters, but about military and national affairs.

It’s not that these inferior people from Goryeo suddenly became so concerned about national affairs. But Goryeo has really reached the edge of the cliff of the country’s destruction and genocide!

Perhaps in the near future, the barbarians from the northern forests will enter Kaijing and kill all the Koreans.

What's more serious now than this?

"What should I do? The barbarians have been besieging Xijing for a long time. Although Marshal Yin is guarding the city, the barbarians cannot attack. But how much food can there be in Xijing? Once they are finished, Xijing will probably fall. Will Goryeo die at that time..."

"No, our Goryeo Kingdom is a subordinate of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom will not watch us perished by the barbarians."

"But Liao is going to war with Song. I heard that even Nanjing Road is lost!"

"What should I do?"

"Have you heard of it? Now several ministers in the court have proposed to seek peace from the barbarians, to cede the East and West realms, and to move the capital to Tokyo."

"We want to cut off the east and west worlds? We also want to move the capital to Tokyo? How can that work? No, our homes are all near Kaijing..."

"We can't ced the land, nor can we move the capital. We have Wu Pingzhang! He is a loyal minister who firmly opposes the moving capital and the cede land!"

"Yes, so many noble people came to Pingzhang Mansion today. We must be discussing how to rescue Xijing, right?"

"I hope I can save it..."

Speaking of this, a group of people from Goryeo all turned their attention to the closed door of the mansion.

This is the residence of Wu Yanchong, the Minister of the Goryeo State, the Minister of the Kung Fu, the Minister of the Situ, the Grand Marshal, the Supervisor, the National History, and the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, Wu Yanchong!

Such a large number of official names are actually prime ministers, ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Rites, and Minister of War! But I really have great power, I don’t know how worried I am.

It is usually a good thing to hold power, but at the moment, it feels like walking on thin ice.

The Goryeo Kingdom has reached the critical moment of life and death. Thousands of Jurchen army have besieged Xijing. The head of the Biewu team led by Marshal Yin Guan, Deputy Envoy of the Army in the North, and General Wang Zizhi, are now trapped in Xijing. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Xijing, who are full of small cities. The food consumed every day is astronomical!

The Goryeo Kingdom has fought a tug-of-war with the Jurchens for eight years. In order to supply the front line, the treasury that ceded the land had long been emptied. Even in Pyongyang, Xijing, there was not much savings, and only God knows how long it could last.

It is precisely because of this desperate situation that Cui Hongsi, who served as prime minister with Wu Yanchong, and Jin Yuan, the chief censor, kept impeaching Yin Guan, Wu Yanchong and others who were in charge of war, and advocated ceasing the map to save the capital to avoid the edge.

To be fair, Wu Yanchong now also believes that he can't continue to fight. The eight years of war has exhausted Goryeo's national strength. Although he has also trained elite troops like the Bianwu Class, the role of the Bianwu Class is only to allow the Jurchen barbarians to invest several times the strength to conquer Goryeo from the original 500 army to 3,000 army!

Wu Yanchong knew very well that the 3,000 Jurchen army was a force that Goryeo could not defeat. Even if he could temporarily resist, he could continue to increase his strength.

Therefore, it is certain that the war of resistance will perish!

However, the responsibility for ceding land and seeking peace was that Wu Yanchong, a foreign household who was responsible for the war, could not afford it.

So he is still hard-pressed until now.

But even though he was hard to do it, he didn't dare to take the remaining troops of the Bianwu squad to rescue Xijing. Because there was only one result in doing that, that was the entire army was wiped out!

So these days, Wu Yanchong was almost anxious. Every day, after going to court to deal with the Lord and the King who was even more anxious than him, he returned to the mansion and discussed the war with a group of helpless confidants.

But after discussing, there was still no way.

Today, I simply didn't see those subordinates who could not think of anything, but just hid in the Buddhist temple at home and recited sutras and prayed for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

Of course, it was not a one-man reading, but a reading with his cousin, Wu Yanen, who had just escorted a batch of military funds from Tianjin Prefecture.

...

"What? Brother, what did you say?"

The gate of the Buddhist temple was closed, and the two brothers inside had already recited the sutras and were discussing what was going on.

"I have to do this!" Wu Yanen looked at his cousin, "Brother Yu has been thinking about it over and over again. Only this is the only way to go..."

"Yes, but this is a rebellion!"

Wu Yanchong is obviously much younger than Wu Yanen, but now he looks very old, with white hair and hair. He is already a long-haired man.

Regarding the method proposed by Wu Yanen, his reaction was incredible except for fear.

This is to plan to usurp the throne!

And it was during the national crisis...

"No, it's not a rebellion." Wu Yanen stroked his beard, "It's saving the country and the people! Xijing City can't be defended anymore, and Nanjing City will not be lost for long.

Without Xijing, Nanjing, can Kaijing, which is sandwiched in the middle, still persist?

Want to move the capital? How to move it, where to go? Even if you can reach Gyeongju, how can you maintain a huge country with the valleys to the south? Goryeo has always been raised by Xijing, Kaijing, Nanjing and the plains of Quanzhou!”

The terrain of Goryeo is a plain on the west coast that nourishes people, and other places are mountainous areas. In ancient times, when productivity was underdeveloped, the food that the plain could provide was many times more than that of the mountainous areas. And grain means national strength and population. With the grain and population on the west coast, Goryeo can exist as a unified country.

If the west coast all fell into the hands of the Jurchens and moved to the court in the mountains of Gyeongju (Tokyo), it would be impossible to suppress the rich and maintain the country.

"Not it?" Wu Yanchong looked at his cousin with a solemn expression, "It's not that fast, right? Xijing and Nanjing are both strong cities, how could it fall in a short period of time?"

"Believe in Brother Yu," Wu Yanen said, "both cities will fall in the future! Because the Youzhou Army has a powerful weapon that specializes in breaking cities, called Cannon!"

"cannon?"

"It's a large cylindrical bronze ware, which is hollowed out in the middle, can be filled with gunpowder and fired iron balls, and it's invincible. Not to mention the two capitals in the southwest, it can be broken in just a few days! Therefore, the two capitals in the southwest will definitely be lost. The Youzhou army and the Jurchen army will soon be on the way to open the capital. The court and officials of the Goryeo Kingdom will not even have the chance to retreat to Qingzhou. If you don't want to destroy the country, you have to rely on you!"

"Damn me?" Wu Yanchong's heart thumped, "How to do it?"

Wu Yanen said: "Eliminate the treacherous and seek peace through war!"

"Seeking peace through war?" Wu Yanchong looked at his cousin, "Didn't it say that the Youzhou army has a powerful weapon to break the city?"

"That's right, but whether to use this weapon or not is it up to King Yan!"

"The condition of King Yan is..." Wu Yanchong took a breath. He already understood that he had no other way out. If he didn't want his family to be destroyed, he would have to cooperate with King Yan.

"Cecennage of Danluo County, Busan County and Qingyuan County, and pay 2 million yuan in compensation and open trade."

"What!?" Wu Yanchong stood up suddenly, "The compensation was 2 million yuan, and Qingyuan County was still in charge. That was the gateway to Nanjing..."

Danluo County and Busan County are no longer concerned. One area is not actually controlled by the Goryeo Kingdom at all, and the other is also on the beach to the south. It’s okay if you don’t want it.

But Qingyuan County was later Incheon! It was about to be cut off. The capital of Goryeo is under the attack of other people's troops. Can there be peace?

In addition, the compensation of 2 million yuan was not affordable by Goryeo. There was no such thing as at all. What should I give it to?

"Don't worry, don't worry," Wu Yanen waved to his brother and signaled him to sit down and speak, "There is a way to pay compensation, you can borrow it... Tianjin Bank can apply for a loan, borrow 2 million yuan first, and then pay it back slowly. As for the ceasing of Qingyuan County, it is actually more beneficial than disadvantages to the Goryeo and our Wu family."
