After returning to the city lord's palace, Wu Dong immediately called all the senior officials of Incheon City over, and then told what he had seen today, saying: "What do you think of the Han people bullying the Koreans?"
Hua Rong said: "Such things cannot happen again today, otherwise it will definitely affect our rule in Goryeo in Liangshan."
Hua Rong now studies the art of war every day. As the saying goes, "One method can be used to master all methods." Military affairs are the major issues of the country, which are originally related to the survival of the country. Naturally, he also has certain opinions on governing the country. Wu Dong increasingly feels that Hua Rong is not trivial. It turns out that
In Water Margin, Hua Rong's talent is greatly underestimated. Hua Rong is not only a hero with excellent archery skills, he is also a marshal who is good at leading troops and has great knowledge.
Wu Dong nodded slightly and said: "Does any of you have any opinions?"
Cheng Guan, the leader of the twelve stick monks in Shaolin, stood up and said: "Big Chief, if you want to truly rule Goryeo, you cannot allow such a thing. You must ensure that Goryeo and us Han people have the same status, so that we can gain their
recognition.”
Wu Dong nodded secretly, thinking that this man was worthy of being the number one among the younger generation of Shaolin Temple. He heard from Wu Song that he was even regarded as the future head of Shaolin. Not only was this man terrible in martial arts, his knowledge was far beyond the
ordinary people.
Today's events reminded Wu Dong of the Yuan and Qing dynasties. Foreigners also ruled the Central Plains. The Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty lasted less than 100 years, while the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty ruled for more than 300 years. Even after the Qing emperor abdicated,
There are still many old and young people who remember the Qing Dynasty. It was also ruled by foreigners, and the difference between the two dynasties is really huge.
The rule of the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown by the Han people. The rule of the Qing Dynasty was not so much the overthrow of the Manchus by the Han people as it was the replacement of dictatorship by democracy. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebelled, and many of the results were similar to those of Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, etc.
The Han gentry stood up and took the initiative to help the Manchu government resist the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It can be seen that the Manchu government had gained the recognition of the Han gentry class at that time. As for the subsequent Boxer Rebellion, countless ordinary Han people stood up to protect the court against foreigners.
.
The main reason why the contrast between the two dynasties is obvious is that foreign rulers have different attitudes towards the Han people. The Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty treated the Han people like pigs and dogs, dividing people into several levels, with the Han people at the lowest level. The Manchu and Qing Dynasty treated the Han people like pigs and dogs.
Generally speaking, everyone is treated equally, and the difference is not very big.
In addition, the two dynasties had completely different attitudes towards Han culture. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties absorbed Han culture. Many things in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were from traditional Chinese Confucianism, which emphasized loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, etc. They respected the literary sage Confucius and the martial sage Guan Yu.
, while the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty always adhered to the Mongolian way, which made the Han people increasingly repelled by the Mongols.
Wu Dong is now absorbing the experience of the two dynasties so that he can successfully rule Goryeo and make it a part of China in the future.
At that moment, Wu Dong said: "This kind of thing can't happen again in the future. I'm going to promulgate a law. If anything like this happens again and triggers ethnic conflicts, it will be dealt with strictly."
Hua Rong, Cheng Guan and others all said yes.
Wu Dong added: "Also, we must vigorously promote our Han culture in Korea in the future... Let more Koreans learn Chinese. We can even spend money to set up schools and let Koreans enroll for free... In the schools, in addition to teaching
In addition to our Han culture, we also need to promote the idea that the Han and the Koreans are brother races... In addition, we can promote that the Koreans are the descendants of our Han people."
In later generations, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties inherited and integrated Han culture, while Wu Dong planned to use Han culture to completely transform Goryeo. In short, the purpose was the same, which was to unify the culture. Only when the culture is unified can it be recognized from the heart.
As for the so-called "Korean people are descendants of the Han people", I saw it from above. Wu Dong didn't know whether it was true or false, and it is difficult to verify it now. This is also to reduce the Korean people's rejection of the Han people, and to make it more
Just good governance.
Hua Rong said: "The idea of the chief is a good one. Originally, the Korean people were very envious of our Han culture, and they learned many things from our Han people. Now that we take the initiative to teach them Han culture, the Korean people are definitely willing."
When the time comes, the more they learn, the more they will recognize us.”
Wu Dong smiled and nodded, saying: "Actually, I have a better idea, but I'm just not sure whether I should do it or not."
Hua Rong said: "Big boss, what's your idea? Come and listen to me."
Wu Dong said: "We can secretly spread rumors and say that our Liangshanbo was built by the descendants of Silla. What do you think?"
Hua Rong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head and said: "Big Chief, if this happens, wouldn't we be degrading ourselves?"
Hua Rong felt that the Han people were much nobler than the so-called "Silla people" and did not want to be called "Silla people".
Unexpectedly, just after Hua Rong finished speaking, Wu Yong suddenly said: "Miao Miao Miao! The big leader's idea is really wonderful! If we pretend to be descendants of Silla, there will be no problem in ruling this place!"
Silla was originally a large country on the peninsula, with a much longer history than the current Wang Dynasty's Goryeo. There are still many people in the peninsula who are unwilling to accept the rule of Goryeo and regard themselves as descendants of Silla. If Goryeo is ruled in this name, then
It will get twice the result with half the effort.
Hua Rong still disagreed and said, "This way, I always feel uncomfortable."
Wu Dong said: "This is just a way for us to strengthen our rule. We will not openly say that we are descendants of Silla. We just send people to secretly promote it. If someone really asks, we will never admit it.
.In short, we are just spreading rumors and giving the Korean people a reason to accept us."
Everyone discussed it and finally accepted Wu Dong's idea. In fact, Hua Rong only felt emotionally uncomfortable, but he also understood that this idea would be very beneficial to ruling Goryeo. In order to be able to rule Goryeo smoothly, he also decided to endure it for the time being.
Such "humiliation".
******
After everyone dispersed, only Wu Dong and Hua Rong were left. The two came to the attic and looked at the scenery in the distance.
Wu Dong said: "Goryeo will become our foundation in the future, so I will use all means to strengthen Goryeo's rule. Spreading rumors is also a last resort."
Wu Dong knew that Hua Rong was still a little unhappy, so he had to explain again.
Hua Rong said: "Great chief, Korea has become our foundation, what about Liangshanbo?"
Wu Dong smiled and said: "Liangshanbo is naturally our foundation, and it is our origin and hometown. But Liangshanbo is a waterbore after all, which is good for defense but not good for offense. If we just want to be a grass bandit,
It is enough to establish a foothold in Liangshanbo. If you want to conquer the world and allow our Han people to truly rise, you must pay attention to Goryeo. Goryeo is a vast land with many people, and there are high mountains in the north. Even the Liao people will find it difficult to invade.
Moreover, this place is located overseas, and the court of the Song Dynasty cannot control it. Here we can develop freely and vigorously. When we are strong enough, we can attack the Liao Kingdom from the north of Goryeo and send another general.
Attacking the Liao Kingdom from Shandong and attacking from both sides, it is not difficult to destroy the Liao Kingdom. After destroying the Liao Kingdom, the entire north will be connected, enough to stand on a foothold with the Song Dynasty and Xixia. Then Xixia will be destroyed, and then the Song Dynasty will be destroyed completely.
To restore the glory of the Han people during the Han and Tang Dynasties. That’s why I said that Goryeo is extremely important to us. In order to rule Goryeo, all means are necessary."
After Wu Dong explained this, Hua Rong temporarily put aside the matter of spreading rumors, and instead focused on thinking about Wu Dong's strategy of unifying the world. Slowly, a magnificent scene seemed to appear in front of his eyes, as if watching
When I saw the scenes Wu Dong mentioned, my heart started to get excited.
He was pondering the feasibility of Wudong's strategy in his mind. After a while, he said: "Big Chief, this strategy is good. But when we occupy Goryeo, we also need to occupy Shandong. This will work."
Wu Dong said: "This is natural, but our current strength is not good enough. If we occupy Shandong, the imperial court will attack with all its strength, and the gains will outweigh the losses. The reason why we occupy Goryeo first is to develop quietly in Goryeo. When we are strong enough, and
…When the time is right, we will occupy Shandong in one fell swoop.”
The so-called time is ripe, referring to the Fangla Uprising a few years later, which was a peasant uprising that spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River. By then, the Song Dynasty court's attention was attracted to Fang La, and the main force was used on Fang La. Naturally, Wu Dong could rest assured.
The whole of Shandong was conquered.
Hua Rong was now very interested in studying the art of war, and even took Wu Dong to draw on the ground, all of which were maps of nearby China.
Hua Rong said: "Big Chief, look here, this is the Zhoushan Islands, this is Chongming Island, we can occupy these... We will occupy the entire East China Sea islands, and when the time comes, we can send troops from all the islands,
Wherever the troops are heading, no one can resist...and the Liao people. The Liao people's cavalry is very powerful. Although our spear array is very powerful, its maneuverability is far inferior to that of the Liao people. If we want to defeat the Liao people,
, we also need a strong cavalry.”
Wu Dong nodded and said: "Yes, we need a highly mobile cavalry... and the island strategies you mentioned can all be considered... I want to think about it carefully. Now we in Liangshan
The number of soldiers is still too small."
Hua Rong said: "Big Chief, I have wanted to tell you for a long time that we in Liangshan should implement a more stringent military conscription law."
Nowadays, the conscription system in Liangshan is very relaxed. It is said to be conscription, but in fact, in many cases, young people voluntarily join the army.
Hua Rong expressed his thoughts. The conscription law in his mind was that all young people of the right age, as long as they were free of diseases, should join the army.
Hua Rong said: "Big Chief, now we have Dengzhou Customs and Incheon Customs. These two customs control all commercial trade in the Song Dynasty and Goryeo. They make a lot of money every day, which is enough to support more troops."
