The Liangshan Chamber of Commerce has now developed vigorously. In addition to Liangshan Bo's own business, many Han businessmen have also joined the Liangshan Chamber of Commerce and are protected by the Liangshan Chamber of Commerce.
In the past few months, the Liangshan Chamber of Commerce has acquired 18 large shipyards, purchased hundreds of seagoing ships, and is developing vigorously.
On this day, Wu Dong suddenly received a letter from Liang Shanbo, and he immediately opened the letter and read it.
"Wu Song has come back? It's great!" Wu Dong couldn't help but get excited after seeing the first sentence.
His second brother was famous in Water Margin, with strong martial arts skills and a very righteous character. In Water Margin, Wu Song took great care of his eldest brother Wu Dalang, and in this era of Wu Dalang's rebirth, Wu Dong certainly does not need his care, but he also
I hope Wu Song can help me. The so-called "father and son go into battle, brothers fight tigers". This is his only biological brother in the Song Dynasty. He is connected by blood, so he can naturally be reused.
For more than ten years, Wu Song has been in the Shaolin Temple without taking a step down the mountain. Now that he finally came down, Wu Dong couldn't wait to see this brother immediately.
"And the twelve-stick monk from Shaolin Temple? That Cheng Guan is actually the successor of the Yi Jin Jing, and his martial arts skills are still superior to Wu Song's?" Seeing this, Wu Dong couldn't help but be surprised.
"What are they trying to do? Shaolin Temple...could it be that they want to assist me?" Wu Dong couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Shaolin Temple sent thirteen stick monks to assist Tang King Li Shimin. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he naturally expressed his gratitude to Shaolin Temple, and Shaolin Temple became famous all over the world. Now Wu Dong vaguely feels that Shaolin Temple may be a political opportunist.
, and the target of speculation this time is Wu Dong himself.
"Very good, very good, I'm in need of someone, no matter who he is... Langli Baitiao, Zhang Shun, he's here too?" Seeing this, Wu Dong became even more happy.
In Water Margin, if the one with the best water skills is neither the Ruan brothers, nor Li Jun, Zhang Heng and others, but Zhang Heng's brother Zhang Shun. He is known as "the white stripe in the waves", which describes his ability to shuttle through the water.
Time passed by like a flash, extremely fast. What's even more amazing is that he could lurk at the bottom of the Xunyang River for seven days and seven nights without having to show his face. It was simply incredible.
Moreover, this man was extremely clever, and he was the one who caught Gao Qiu in the end.
Now that this person has also come to Liangshanbo, Wu Dong is naturally overjoyed.
However, when they saw that Jiangzhou heroes Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Li Kui, Dai Zong and others all followed Shi Jin and Song Gongming to Shaohua Mountain, they couldn't help but be stunned.
"Song Jiang is indeed not an ordinary person. He is no longer a 'timely rain'. He can still persuade so many people to follow him in rebellion. It is not easy!" Wu Dong thought to himself.
In fact, he has had many opportunities to see Song Jiang since his rebirth. After all, Song Jiang lives in Yuncheng County, but he has never gone to see Song Jiang, thinking that when the time comes, Song Jiang will go to Liangshan. Who knows that Song Jiang is actually going to Liangshan now?
to Shaohua Mountain.
"I wonder if Song Jiang is still waiting to be recruited by the imperial court after arriving at Shaohua Mountain?" Wu Dong suddenly thought of this, and then laughed, thinking that whether he was recruited or not, it would definitely not be a short time. Now.
Even if Song Jiang wants to be recruited, the court will not agree to it now, and neither will Shi Jin and others.
Wu Dong continued to look down, and when he saw that Li Shishi was missing, he stayed there for a while.
"Shishi... is missing? How is it possible? Who took her out? No way... after returning from Gaoli this time, I must go to Bianliang in person to look for Shishi!" Wu Dong
Make a decision quickly.
He felt a little sorry for Li Shishi. Li Shishi asked him to go to Bianliang to pick her up, but he never went. Although it was true that he had something to do, it was not that he couldn't spare some time. Speaking of which, he was a little ungrateful. This time,
He made up his mind that when the affairs of Goryeo came to an end for the time being, he would immediately go to Bianliang to look for Li Shishi.
"Master, please don't let anything happen to you!" Wu Dong felt slightly melancholy when that peerless beauty appeared in front of him.
After a long time, Wu Dong continued to look down. When he saw the two words "Li Gang", Wu Dong couldn't help but be startled.
He knew that Li Gang was a famous anti-Jin minister in the Southern Song Dynasty and a Jinshi in the late Northern Song Dynasty. He did not expect that he would be "invited" to Liangshanbo by Wu Song.
This man has a good reputation in history and is said to be very talented. Now that he has come to Liangshanbo, he cannot be let go.
******
After reading it, Wu Song began to reply to the letter. The letter first asked Wu Song to stay in Liangshanbo and accompany Wu Taigong. Over the past ten years, Wu Taigong missed Wu Song extremely. Since Wu Song came back, he should naturally fulfill his filial piety, but the two brothers
There is no need to rush to meet people, they will meet sooner or later. In addition, Wu Dong asked Wu Song to learn the rules of the army from Lin Chong. He did not want Wu Song to be just a strong barbarian, but wanted Wu Song to become a man who understood the art of war and strategy.
of military leaders.
Then he ordered Li Gang to be watched carefully and not to let Li Gang leave Liangshanbo. For the time being, Li Gang could be allowed to handle civil affairs with Chao Gai.
Then people were asked to bring Zhang Shun and the Twelve-stick Monk to Goryeo. Now Goryeo is about to have a large-scale conflict, and these people are needed.
Finally, Zhu Gui and Cao Zheng were asked to find out the news about Li Shishi, and it would be best to know the whereabouts of Li Shishi.
After sending the letter away, he was still dealing with Goryeo affairs in the next few days. There were too many things to deal with, such as the Chamber of Commerce, the shipyard, and the navy. Moreover, Wu Dong was still learning Goryeo dialect and could now speak simple Goryeo dialect.
.
"Big boss, we have brought 2,000 soldiers to Goryeo, and there are 1,000 navy troops on Daebu Island. Why haven't we taken action now?" Wu Yong said with some confusion.
These 2,000 soldiers are now distributed among 18 shipyards. They are nominally protecting the shipyards, but in fact they are waiting for Wu Dong's orders at any time.
Wu Dong said: "The time is not yet ripe."
Wu Yongdao: "What timing is needed? We are strong and theirs is weak, so just fight directly."
Liangshan's 2,000 army and 1,000 navy are trained day and night. They are more powerful than the imperial army of the Song Dynasty, not to mention the Goryeo army. It can be said that so many soldiers can defeat almost all the Goryeo army. No wonder
Wu Yong was puzzled.
Wu Dong smiled and said: "When two countries go to war, do you think it is the same as two people fighting? No matter what, there must be an excuse."
The so-called "excuse" is a "reason for starting a war." This reason for starting a war can turn one's side into the so-called "just party" and make the other party appear to be in the wrong, even if this excuse is just used for propaganda. In modern times,
When Western powers invaded China, they had to find an excuse. Even when the Japanese launched the September 18 Incident, they found excuses, saying that the Chinese army damaged the railways and they wanted to protect the railways, etc. Later, the Japanese entered North China.
, the excuse was also ridiculous, saying that the soldiers were missing, and they wanted to enter Chinese territory to search for them, but the Chinese army refused to let them go, and then attacked them, so they fought back and so on.
Therefore, Wu Dong also needs a chance and can find a relatively legitimate excuse.
Wu Dong was thinking about whether to deliberately cause trouble and create an "excuse". Unexpectedly, within two days, something happened in Longyuan City, which gave him a good excuse.
******
There are many Chinese shops in Longyuan City, one of which is called "Liu Family Shop". The owner of the shop is Liu Man, who is now a member of the Liangshan Chamber of Commerce.
Liu Man mainly deals in porcelain, jade, etc. In the early morning of this day, several Khitan people came to Liu Man's shop. They were guests, and Liu Man hurriedly entertained them.
These Khitan people said they wanted to buy porcelain, and Liu Man immediately introduced them to them. In the end, the Khitan people selected several types of porcelain, and when they paid for them, they were only given one-tenth of the price.
Liu Man naturally disagreed, so he stopped the Khitans and refused to let them leave. He asked the Khitans to put down the porcelain in their hands.
Unexpectedly, instead of agreeing, these Khitan people got angry and beat Liu Man. Before leaving, they smashed all the porcelain in Liu Man's shop and took away all the jades.
Liu Man lost all his money and immediately went to the Longyuan City government to file a complaint. The governor of Longyuan City was called Li Chengji, a North Korean nobleman. After he heard about this incident, instead of seeking justice for Liu Man, he beat him
Liu Man 50 big boards.
Liu Man was dying after he returned. He called his son over and asked his son to go to Wu Yong, the big boss of the Liangshan Chamber of Commerce, and asked Wu Yong to find justice for them. As soon as Liu Man finished speaking, he lost his temper.
Liu Man's son was named Liu Neng, who was only 17 years old this year. Liu Neng cried and told Wu Yong about this.
Wu Yong hurriedly reported the matter to Wu Dong, who said: "Very good, let's go to the Korean government office."
At that moment, Wu Dong, Wu Yong, and Liu Neng headed towards the Longyuan City Yamen together. Before leaving, Wu Dong arranged for 100 soldiers in disguise to guard outside the Longyuan City Yamen.
When they arrived at the Yamen of Longyuan City and handed in the petition, Wu Dong and the other three just stood there.
Li Chengji, the governor of Longyuan City, couldn't help being furious when he saw the appearance of the three people, and said: "You are so bold and cunning. Since you are here to complain, why don't you kneel on the ground?"
Li Chengji actually spoke Chinese. It turns out that Goryeo culture was greatly influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. At this time, Goryeo aristocrats all had to learn Chinese. Goryeo officials were selected, and the questions in the imperial examinations were all written in Chinese, and answers must be answered in Chinese.
The people filing the complaint now are three Han businessmen, so naturally they spoke in Chinese.
Wu Dong said coldly: "We are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven and are not under the jurisdiction of the Goryeo government. Why should we kneel to you?"
