When Pu Bi heard this, he dropped the pen in his hand and ran out.
Wang Jia, Li Yi and other merchants stopped for a moment and then ran out.
The Bosi House in Nanpu City is built on a hill. Standing at the door, you can have a clear view of Nanpu Port.
Braving the cold northwest wind, Park Pil-sun, Wang Jia, Li Yi and others were wrapped in clothes, hunched their necks, and looked into the distance. On the gray sea, one ship after another quietly floated closer.
They are like a scattered swarm of whales, coming towards Nampo Port.
It seems that those ships are not big, but Pu Pil-xian and other merchants who have seen Song ships at close range know that this is because they are too far away. Only when you get closer will you realize that those ships are taller than the city towers, hanging on
The sails are like clouds floating in the sky.
"How many ships are there? You can't see the edge at a glance." A businessman asked, sniffing and stamping his feet.
"At least fifty or sixty ships. My mother, they are still showing up one after another. There must be hundreds of ships. Could it be..." Li Yi held up his sleeves and hugged his arms tightly to his chest.
"The Song Dynasty has started a war, it has started a war with Goryeo!" Wang Jia shouted in horror.
"Why start a war? We, Goryeo, have not offended the Song Dynasty."
Everyone was frightened by his words, and one businessman bravely asked tremblingly.
"Didn't you listen to the royal decree promulgated by the government?" After being frightened, Wang Jia replied feebly with an earthy complexion on his face and a lifeless look on his face.
"It is said in the edict that the government ambushed the officers and soldiers of the Song State in the north and won a great victory. No matter how boastful it was, they still killed the officers and soldiers of the Song State."
"But, the decree said that the invading Song army was attacked and killed. Killing the enemy on our land is legal and legal, so why did it offend the Song people?" A businessman said unconvinced.
"Didn't you read the newspapers of the Song Dynasty?" Li Yi said, "That land used to belong to the Liao Kingdom. After the Song Dynasty destroyed the Liao Kingdom, it naturally belonged to them. In the past two years, the government took advantage of the war between Song and Liao.
, we occupied that land during the chaos. The Song cavalry has been harassing us there, forcing us to return the land."
The faces of all the merchants changed. They borrowed money to repay their debts. The Song Dynasty sent troops to harass us from time to time and forced us to return the land, which was reasonable. Not only did they not return the land, they also sent troops to ambush us, which seemed a bit unreasonable.
It's like beating up someone who comes to collect debts. This will ruin your reputation in the business world, and who will dare to do business with you in the future?
Several businessmen thought about the consequences of going to war.
First of all, the trade routes were blocked - as soon as the Song Dynasty went to war with the Liao Kingdom, all trade routes were immediately cut off. The trade routes were blocked, and he was still doing a crappy business. Without business, how could he support his family?
Secondly, the Song Dynasty has a strong military force. The Liao Kingdom is no match for such a powerful country. How can Goryeo be? Once the war breaks out, the sky will be shattered and the earth will be devastated. No one should be spared.
"What can we do?"
"The people of the Song Dynasty were too arrogant. They destroyed Western Xia and flattened the Northern Liao Dynasty, and they were full of martial virtue. The government just returned their land, so why bother with them? Now it's a disaster, it's a disaster!"
Several people were in a mess.
More than a dozen ships sailed into the depths of Nanpu Port and put down dozens of small boats. After a while, these small boats were filled with people, and then like a group of ants, the small boats docked at the dock. There were more than a dozen people
After greeting them, hundreds of Song troops came ashore and quickly ran everywhere, quickly filling the entire dock.
After a while, several sea-going ships slowly docked at the pier, more Song troops disembarked, and others began to carry things off the ship, which soon piled up into a hill on the pier.
"There, look there!"
Looking along Wang Jia's finger, everyone saw more than a dozen sea-going ships, dragging slender single-masted ships onto the water surface. After a while, the pulling cables were untied, and the slender ships were
Two rows of oars stretched out from both sides of the boat, and then rowed in a neat and rhythmic manner. These dozen slender boats quickly headed north along the river.
What is this going to do? No one knows. But everyone knows in their hearts that the Song Kingdom has sent out so many ships, which must be a big move, but they don’t know if the Koryo Kingdom can catch them.
"Ambassador Park, the Song army is coming, why don't you lead your men up to meet the enemy?" a businessman asked with his head shrinking.
"Facing the enemy, are you crazy? I'm not even an official. I'm just a humble subordinate whose descendants are not qualified to take the scientific examination. Whoever gives us food to eat, we will work for whomever. Besides, facing the enemy, you
You have to give it to us guys too. Just holding these firewood? What’s the difference between dying and dying?"
Just as he was talking, a Kudin came over and said, "Brother, Brother Park, an officer from Song State is looking for an official to be in charge of Nanpu Port. We said that all the officials are gone." He asked again, "There must be someone in charge."
Well, everyone pushed you out. Now the officer invites you to come over."
A suffocation filled Park Pil-sun's chest, and he was speechless for a long time.
"I thank you eight generations of ancestors!"
Despite the scolding, he did not dare to delay the summons of the Song officers. Who knew if he would be "marched" if he arrived late? Park Bixian was yelling and running so fast that he almost hit his own butt with both legs.
Up.
"Everyone, what should we do?" Wang Jia asked.
"We are just Korean merchants waiting for goods here. We are neither officials nor soldiers. The Song Army will not embarrass us."
"I heard that the Song Army has strict military discipline. No matter where it is in the battle to destroy Xia or the battle to Ping Liao, no matter where it is fought, no harm will be done and no harm will be done to the people..."
"Real or false, where did you hear that?"
"It was mentioned in the newspapers. It was written in the newspapers of the Song Dynasty. It was also the official newspaper of their government."
"It's written in the newspaper." All the businessmen breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, it is more feasible for everyone to read what is written in the newspaper. It is written in black and white, and they should not lie. Especially the official newspaper of the Song Dynasty government has a very high credibility in the Song Dynasty business community, and the merchants of Goryeo also believe it.
"I think it's more reliable to stay here. If you run around, the two armies are fighting, and I catch you in the chaos, I can't tell. I want to kill you and complain to the Lord of Hell. Especially if you meet our officers and soldiers, maybe we will be judged."
If you have an affair with a foreign enemy, you will really have a narrow escape from death."
"But our family members are still in their original place, so what should we do?"
"What can we do? Let fate happen! First save our own lives, wait for changes, and then act randomly. If we are reckless and take our own lives, we will not be able to protect our family."
"Brother Wang is right. Wait here and wait and see what happens."
...
Li Chengshou is the general of the Jingyong Army, the garrison of Xijing. He is in charge of more than 500 people and is responsible for the defense of the south gate of Pyongyang City in Xijing near the Huishui River.
He was originally the captain of the Dragon and Tiger Army. He followed Yin Guan and fought in the north for two or three years and gained some military merits. However, he reported on his superiors and transferred the military merits to a certain powerful son who came to gild the gold - you are here
Staying in Anzhou, you were able to capture four Jurchen heads north of the Great Wall. You know the art of avatar.
Li Chengshou was filled with indignation at this unsightly behavior and reported it. Then he was promoted to general and moved to Pyongyang, Xijing.
Then you can be at peace as soon as you come, stay away from the front line, and still save your life and go home to reunite with your family, so why not.
While he was drinking wine in the room, a soldier stumbled in and shouted in horror: "General, there are ships, there are many ships!" This chapter has been completed!
