The Incheon Treaty was signed, and Wu Dong was very happy, but there were still more things waiting for him to deal with.
On the first day of December, Incheon City held a grand sacrificial event for the dead Yangshan warriors.
All Yangshan personnel, including those in Incheon, participated in this sacrificial activity.
The sky was gloomy, and snow had been falling since the morning. It was just scattered at first, but in the end it turned into heavy snow.
More than 2,000 soldiers stood there quietly, motionless, with sadness in their eyes. The ones who died this time were all their comrades, the comrades who had trained with them, laughed with them, and fought with them. Except for these more than 2,000 soldiers.
Soldiers and countless Han businessmen also participated in this sacrificial activity.
Wu Dong stood on the high platform, looking at the Liangshan soldiers below and the Han businessmen nearby, and said in a low voice: "In the Battle of Incheon, we Liangshan sacrificed a total of 147 soldiers. They are Zhang Lei, Liu
Song, Cao Renyi..."
Wu Dong named all the 147 sacrificed soldiers, and then said: "Unlike previous battles, they fought on the land of Goryeo for the rise of the Han nation and the rise of China. Therefore, each of us Han people,
Every Chinese must not forget their achievements! I will build a Martyrs' Shrine in Incheon City. The names of all Yangshan soldiers who died in Goryeo will be recorded in the Martyrs' Shrine, and their achievements will also be recorded there.
Later people will pay homage!"
After Wu Dong finished speaking, the eyes of the more than 2,000 soldiers below showed gratitude. For these soldiers, their comrades are their brothers. After their brothers die, they can receive such honor and have their names engraved in the Martyrs' Shrine.
It's worth it if it's for future generations to look up to.
In the history of China, no dynasty has ever recorded the names of soldiers and built martyrs' temples for them. In the past, even temples were built for generals and senior officials. This is definitely the first time in history for Wudong, if not
The discipline of the army is strict, and now more than 2,000 soldiers have to kneel down to thank Wu Dong.
The surrounding businessmen were also in disbelief. Some people felt that Wu Dong should do this. Those soldiers who sacrificed for the Han people and China should be commemorated. Some people felt that Wu Dong did this a bit too much and built a loyal memorial for the soldiers.
The temple seems inappropriate.
No matter what the merchants thought, Wu Dong said again: "Those comrades, brothers have taken a step ahead of us. As living people, we should work harder and be stronger, and continue to work for the rise of the Han nation and the rise of China."
Work hard. For the rise of the Han nation and the rise of China, every Liangshan person must be prepared to sacrifice. Including me, Wu Dong, I can give up my life without hesitation if necessary!"
The soldiers below were even more excited. At this moment, they had the same idea as Wu Dong. For the rise of the Han people and the rise of China, they could sacrifice at any time.
At this moment, even the surrounding businessmen seemed to be infected, and many businessmen also had a look of excitement in their eyes.
Wu Dong looked into the distance, and after a long time, he said: "The road ahead is very difficult, and our enemies are very powerful. The Liao people are in our north and occupy the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. We have not recaptured it yet. In addition, according to our
I know that further north, there are foreigners who are more powerful and more ferocious than the Liao people. They will be our enemies from now on. However, I believe that as long as everyone in Liangshan has the belief in sacrifice, there will be no
Difficulties and obstacles can truly withstand us! Because we Liangshan people are here, the Han people will surely rise and defeat all foreign nations! China will also become the number one country in the world!"
After Wu Dong finished speaking, everyone came forward to pay homage to the martyrs. The soldiers came forward one by one according to the group, laid wreaths, and expressed their grief in front of the martyrs' tombs. Of course, almost all the soldiers also expressed their feelings.
The idea of being willing to sacrifice for the rise of the Han people.
****
The construction of the Martyrs' Shrine began as early as the end of the Battle of Inchon. It was not until the end of December that the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine was finally completed.
This Martyrs' Shrine gives people an unusually solemn feeling. It records the names of all Liangshan soldiers who sacrificed their lives, followed by an introduction to the Battle of Inchon and encouragement to more Han people to fight for the rise of the Han nation.
Wu Dong and Wu Yong stood in front of the Martyrs' Shrine. Wu Yong said: "The big leader is really good at it. With this Martyrs' Shrine, I'm afraid all the soldiers will fight risklessly. Even if they die, it will be worth it if they can get such glory."
.”
Wu Dong shook his head slightly and said: "This is not a means, it is just what I should do for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. I respect these soldiers who sacrificed their lives from the bottom of my heart."
Wu Dong spoke very solemnly, and Wu Yong immediately understood Wu Dong's intentions and decided not to make excuses for these martyrs in the future.
After coming out of the Chung Martyrs' Shrine, Wu Dong and Wu Yong took a stroll in Incheon City. Although it was the severe winter season, Incheon City was in full swing. Countless Han businessmen were building large-scale construction projects, some were building shops, and some were
Residences are being built, and many people plan to live in Incheon City for a long time.
Wu Yong followed Wu Dong and praised: "Big Chief, under your wise leadership, we defeated the Koreans. The Koreans had to cede the city of Incheon to us. Now we sit here, and our Han people's
The businessmen seem to have taken reassurance and dare to develop vigorously here."
Wu Dong smiled and said: "It's winter now, and many businessmen in the country don't know the news about Incheon. Otherwise, more people will come here, and it will feel prosperous."
The weather at this time was much colder than in later generations, and the sea had long been sealed. News from Goryeo could not be transmitted to the country. It would have to wait until the spring of next year and the sea was unblocked before the news could be sent back.
Because of this, Wu Dong's original plan to go to Bianliang City to look for Master Li was delayed.
The two walked for a long time, and Wu Yong said again: "Big Chief, it is enough for us to have Incheon City. What else do we need in Seoul? That place is desolate, and we still need to build a city ourselves... If Big Chief, you really
They still need territory, we can just fight it, why bother looking for that place."
Wu Dong said: "Incheon City is just a port city, which is good for doing business. But if you really want to rule the entire Goryeo, you need a place that is accessible in all directions, and a place like Seoul is perfect. As for
Building a new city can encourage more Han people to come to Goryeo, promote the economic development here, and also allow us in Liangshan to get more benefits. There are many benefits, and you will realize it slowly."
Wu Yong seemed to understand. He was a villain and had many tricks, but when it came to real national affairs, he was far behind.
When we were halfway there, we heard beatings and scoldings from the front. We saw several tall men bullying a thin boy. The thin boy was covered in blood and lying on the ground, screaming.
Several tall men beat the boy severely with long sticks.
"Who are you? Don't you know the laws of Incheon City? How dare you be so presumptuous?" Wu Yong saw Wu Dong frowning and immediately ran up to scold these people.
Those few people saw that Wu Yong was dressed luxuriously, looked arrogant, and spoke in Chinese. They hurriedly said: "This high-ranking official, you probably don't know yet, but this is a boy from Goryeo. He doesn't need to work."
He has no strength, so we have to beat him up."
Wu Yong said: "Just beat someone, and you don't have to beat him to death?"
A big man laughed and said: "Looking at what you always said, he is just a Korean untouchable. If he is beaten to death, he will be beaten to death. Now that Incheon City belongs to us Han people, who dares to hold us accountable?"
Wu Yong was stunned, turned to look at Wu Dong, and found that Wu Dong was still frowning, and scolded him again: "No matter what, it is always wrong to beat someone to death. I took this person away, what's wrong with you?"
If you are satisfied, you can go to the Liangshan Chamber of Commerce to find me."
When the big man heard that Wu Yong turned out to be from the Liangshan Chamber of Commerce, he was startled and said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare. You have a kind heart and pity this Goryeo untouchable. So let's spare his life today."
Wu Dong and Wu Yong appeared to be two people, but they were protected by many people secretly. Wu Yong summoned a person and took the Goryeo boy to the city lord's palace, while Wu Dong and Wu Yong continued to walk forward.
Wu Dong said: "Is this situation very common now? The Han people bullying the Koreans."
Wu Yongdao: "It's very common. I've seen it several times in the past few days. But it's nothing. We Han people are now the masters of Incheon City. What's wrong with bullying the Koreans?"
Wu Dong frowned and said: "Wu Yong, why do you have the same idea as those little people? Do you know that our ultimate goal in Liangshan is to get the entire Goryeo. To get Goryeo, conquering by force is not enough.
It must be sincerely recognized by the Korean people. And if we want to be sincerely recognized by the Korean people, the first thing to do is to treat Han people and Koreans equally. We cannot bully them casually just because they are Koreans. If that is the case
If we do, we won't be able to stay in Korea for long."
In later generations, Japan once occupied Korea by force, but it was only an occupation by force. The Koreans never stopped resisting the Japanese, and hundreds of thousands of Koreans even went to China to fight against the Japanese. In the Korean War in later generations,
Most of North Korea's troops came from the former battlefield in China. Even decades after Japan withdrew from North Korea, North Korea and South Korea still hate Japan unabated, and you can often hear the voices of the two countries fiercely condemning Japan.
Wu Dong did not want Liangshan to become like Japan in the future.
Of course, the current Goryeo is very different from the Korean of later generations. The Korean nation of later generations has been established for thousands of years and has formed a Korean nation. This nation has a high sense of identity with its own country and will never accept the rule of foreign nations.
The current Goryeo was founded less than 200 years ago. Before Goryeo, it was Silla, and after the Three Kingdoms period, and even earlier, it was the Three Kingdoms period of Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo. Now there is not even a unified Goryeo nation, and no unity has been formed.
The language in many places is still in the form of primitive tribes. In some places, people often refer to themselves as Silla and Baekje people, and do not consider themselves to be Koreans.
Therefore, it is much easier to conquer Goryeo now than in later generations, but even so, it needs to be treated with caution and strategy.
