Chapter 626 Da Song is finally frustrated
If Kaijing, the capital of the powerful country Goryeo, is a forest park or a safari! Then, the royal city of the Danluo Kingdom of Great Goryeo is probably a street garden.
Just in terms of the size of the royal city, the Danluo Kingdom is really worthy of looking up at Da Goryeo. As for the city walls and the buildings in the royal city, it is so shabby that the entire imperial world is despised. Let’s put it that, there are not even a brick or tile in the entire Danluo Royal City, all of which are adobe walls and thatched roofs. In the Song Dynasty, it looks more sophisticated than this place.
The defense of the royal city is extremely weak. There is no need to worry about equipment. There is definitely no armor. The weapons are the simplest and cannot be formed. At first glance, they are made randomly and shoddy, and many iron weapons are rusted. Moreover, the number of people is far less than that of the powerful Goryeo Kingdom. From the Danlu Port to the "thick palace" in the Danluo King City, there are probably no 50 soldiers along the way.
It is obvious that the military equipment of the Danluo Kingdom was really relaxed to the extreme. As long as the 100 warriors who came with the ship recovered their physical strength, Su Shi's "commission" was sure to completely control the Danluo Port and the Danluo Royal City within one hour. However, Su Shi's purpose here was not to occupy Danluo, but to spread the justice of the laws and justice to the Danluo people... He and Fan Zhijin and other doctors came to be teachers for the Danluo people!
The good student Mr. Su wants to accept most is the king and star master of Danluo Kingdom, named Gao Min. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is very weak and does not look like a savage king, but like a scholar from a scholarly family.
In a spacious and bright thatched hut, Gao Min knelt upright on the cushion. He was not wearing a gorgeous court robe, but a deep white robe made of ramie and a square scarf wrapped around his hair. Four older men in Goryeo official uniforms knelt on the left and right of Gao Min. Three of them were Gao Min's ministers, representing the Gao Yina clan, Liang Yina clan and Fu Yina clan respectively. Another one was the governor stationed by Goryeo, named Cui Xian, born in Haizhou, and was a Jinshi of the Goryeo Wenzong Dynasty. His grandfather was an old minister of the Goryeo dynasty known as Confucius in Haidong, and Cui Chong, who was once the top scholar.
Yin Yanchun, who was wearing Goryeo Military Officer's uniform, knelt opposite Gao Min, and smiled and reassured the people in the thatched hut.
"The Song Dynasty did not have any ambitions for Danluo. This is a fact that everyone knows. The Song Dynasty was not the Tang Dynasty after all. They were just rich but not strong, and they only had cultural governance but no martial arts. A mere Western Xia tortured them for decades, and I don't know how many years it took to be pacified. How could they be enemies for Danluo and my Da Goryeo? Besides, Danluo is so poor, what is the benefit of the Song Dynasty's plotting it? Could it be given to give me the gift?"
"Hahaha, that's right. The Song Dynasty really dared not have any delusions about Danluo..."
Unexpectedly, Yin Yanchun was still a very humorous Korean. Cui Xian, the Danluo Superintendent, burst into laughter.
Gao Min, the star lord of Danluo Kingdom, didn't know what Sui Ci means, so he asked his teacher, Cui Xian, the supervisor sent by Goryeo: "Teacher, what is Sui Ci?"
Cui Chong smiled and said, "The Song Dynasty, who was the sect leader, paid 200,000 silver and silk to the Xixia, who was a subordinate, every year. The reason why he used "gift" was to deceive himself."
Gao Min, the Lord of Danluo, listened carefully, but thought to himself: It would be great if the Goryeo Kingdom could give it to him every year, and it wouldn't be as much as 200,000 yuan (he didn't dare to think about it). If there was a 100,000 yuan a year, he could renovate the palace and replace it with the best-looking thatched grass... But this is impossible. The Goryeo people would burn incense without asking Danluo to take the money.
And now it is not a matter of getting money, and it also has to abolish the vassal state and establish counties... The king who has been passed down for 44 generations in his family will soon become a county magistrate! I don’t know how long this county magistrate can be?
Thinking that his ancestors were about to lose their foundation in his hands, Gao Min's face showed a heartfelt smile since Wang Jian, Taizu of Goryeo, sent troops to attack Tanluo and forced Tanluo to give up his short independence a hundred decades ago, the governor of Tanluo had to be careful to hide his inner thoughts...
"Teacher," Gao Min asked with a smile, "Then how should we entertain the envoy Su from the Song Dynasty?"
"The Star Lord doesn't have to come forward," Cui Xian touched his beard, "Dan Luo and Da Song have never been dating, so I'll come forward to entertain him."
Although I am not worried about the Song Dynasty's thoughts on Danluo, I must prevent the star master of Danluo from illusioning with the Song Dynasty.
Now the heroic king of Goryeo Kingdom has decided to turn Danluo Kingdom into Danluo County!
"Then I'll have a hard time teacher." Gao Min sighed in his heart, knowing that Cui Xian, the governor, wanted to prevent him from holding Song Zizhong, but how could he dare to think that way?
Since the governor of Goryeo came to Danluo, the star master has begun to lose his life...
...
The huge preaching group brought by Ambassador Su Shisu finally settled in a fishing village called "Xincun" outside Danluo City. There are so many people, and there are not so many vacant thatched huts to arrange in the small fishing village, so there are only tents set up next to the fishing village.
There are two administrative units under the Danluo Kingdom, city and village. These are two parallel units, and the city is not the superior of the village. The entire Danluo Kingdom has two cities, one is the Danluo Kingdom and the other is the Gangbotou City where the Goryeo garrison is located. There are sixteen villages, with an average of about 200 households in each village. The two cities and sixteen villages have about 4,000 households and a population of about 20,000.
The land area of Danluo Island and several nearby islands is about 1,800 square kilometers, which is basically a small island country with a vast land and sparsely populated area. If it were not just between Japan and Goryeo, it would be a worthless place.
Perhaps seeing thatched huts everywhere here, the population is pitifully small, and they all look like paupers. Fan Zhiwen, the leader of the Danluo sermon group, also felt a little discouraged. After getting ashore, a tanned face always drooped.
While he was dazed in a daze in a cowhide tent that had just been tied, he heard footsteps, and then the curtain of the tent was lifted open. Fan Zhiwen turned around and saw Wu Side walking in with a smile, smiling and pulling a girl who was almost black like him.
Fan Zhiwen said angrily: "Wanli (Wu Side's word), what's wrong?"
Wu Side walked in with a smile: "I picked up a sea girl on the beach and let you get a fire... I haven't touched a woman after leaving Haizhou, right? I'm almost turning into a monk."
"Sea Girl?" Fan Zhiwen looked at the girl who followed Wu Side. Her hair was draped and her silky clothes were very thin, and she could see through her. She had no shoes on her barefoot, her skin was rough and dark, and her facial features were quite upright.
"It's just a woman who goes to the sea to catch fish." Wu Side said, "It's not worth it. You can sleep with just a few cents.
There is nothing else good here on Danluo Island, but women are cheap and worthless. All sailors on the sea in Korea know about Goryeo and Japan."
Fan Zhiwen said coldly: "Those who stop divination are happy."
Wu Side sat down on a cushion and hugged his arms exaggeratedly: "Yes, don't be tense, if you are happy, just be happy... The men who run to the sea all have today but not tomorrow, so when you get ashore, you are looking for happiness. Otherwise, it would be a loss..."
He smiled sarcastically: "And most of the Japanese side cannot go. Those short Japanese people have been on their heads for two hundred years. When did they look at the Song Dynasty with their eyes in front of them? Moreover, they don't believe in Confucianism very much. They all worship Buddha. Look, this journey will be in the Danluo Kingdom. Have a few days to live happily and go home."
The bow of the Wu family obviously didn't know that Wu Haogu's target was the Danluo Kingdom.
Fan Zhiwen looked at him quietly and said softly: "I understand. I'll stay here. You can go and have fun too... Rest for a few days, maybe there is still work to do."
"I know, I know."
While the two were talking, a doctor's voice came from outside the door: "Captain, Su Zhengzhi asked us to bring 1,000 pieces of silk and join him into Danluo City."
...
In the thatched hut where the village chief of Xincun lives, Su Shizheng and Yin Yanchun sat opposite each other.
Yin Yanchun came from Danluo City. After telling Su Shi that the Lord of Danluo was unwell and the Danluo Supervisor had invited him, he heard bad news from Su Shi that the ship was broken!
Because of the storms I encountered before, all three seemingly strong large ships were broken and could not go to Japan. They had to be repaired on Danluo Island...
“When can it be fixed?”
"This..." Su Shi said with a embarrassed look, "Wu Chuantou said that if you want to repair the ship, you must have a temporary yard first."
Yes, how can I do if I don’t have a shipyard to repair a ship?
"Then you have to cut down some trees and make some tools... I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."
Su Shi shook his head and said, "It seems that he will be disturbing him for a while on Danluo Island. Of course, we won't eat and drink here for nothing."
Yin Yanchun frowned, he was not worried about eating and drinking for free. The Song people had money! That Su Shi was a generous man. When he was in Goryeo, he spent no less than a few thousand pieces of silk. Now he still lost to the Danluo people?
"What's wrong?" Su Shi looked at Yin Yanchun, "Don't the Danluo people welcome us?"
"How could it be?" Yin Yanchun smiled bitterly, "It's just that the star lord of Danlu admired the royal transformation of my Great Goryeo, and wanted to abolish the vassal states and establish counties..."
"This is a good thing!" Su Shi smiled, "then you have to congratulate your country... After the matter is done, my court must send envoys to congratulate you."
"So is Da Song supporting this matter?"
"Of course I support it!" Su Shi smiled, "How could he not support it? Our government officials now want to spread the holy path into Japan. The Danluo Island is just between Song and Japan, so it can allow the Japanese ship to rest. However, Song and Danluo have no contact... If Danluo can really join Goryeo, wouldn't this matter be easy?
