Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

The capital of the Goryeo Dynasty was Kaesong, which was roughly located in the middle of the peninsula.

In Gyeonggi Bay, which is less than a day's journey from the capital, there is the largest port of the Goryeo Dynasty - Yeseong Port.

This port is the hub of the Goryeo Dynasty's land and water transportation, and it is also an international port where merchants from the Goryeo Dynasty gather. The Goryeo Dynasty's foreign maritime trade is also centered on this port.

It can be said that Yeseong Port is the richest place in the Goryeo Dynasty, equivalent to Quanzhou Port in the Yuan Empire.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Yeseong Port has such an important position in the Goryeo Dynasty is that it is a natural deep-water port that can dock large ships of any level, and it has a unique geographical location next to the Goryeo Dynasty's capital Kaesong, and also because Wang Jian, the founder of the Goryeo Dynasty, came from Yeseong Port. In other words, Yeseong Port is the birthplace of the Goryeo Dynasty. This inevitably makes Yeseong Port have a policy bias.

September 23rd.

At dawn, a huge fleet of more than a thousand ships of all sizes sailed into Licheng Port from afar.

Tong Wei and Tong Meng, as pioneers, had dozens of flying bridges built before their fleet docked, and then a large number of Yuan cavalry rushed to the dock along the flying bridges under their leadership.

The Yuan Empire has always traded with the Goryeo Dynasty, and this trade was officially led by the Yuan Empire.

The person in charge of this matter was one of Jiang Hongfei's uncles-Flying Tiger Hu Cheng.

Hu Cheng was also sent by Jiang Hongfei to support Li Jun and Le He because he was afraid that Li Jun and Le He would suffer because they were not familiar with the Goryeo Dynasty.

Hu Cheng did not dare to neglect it. He brought all the merchants who ran the Goryeo line, whether they were official merchants or private merchants.

Those merchants who ran the Goryeo line brought all the guys who ran business with them.

With these guys who were familiar with the Goryeo Dynasty and Licheng Port leading the way, the Yuan cavalry rushed to those key locations as soon as they landed on the dock.

The five hundred Goryeo navy soldiers guarding Licheng Port were surrounded by the Yuan cavalry in the barracks and disarmed before they could react.

Since the Goryeo Dynasty had never thought that the Yuan Empire would attack the Goryeo Dynasty, let alone that the Yuan Emperor would take its capital directly from the water and behead it, they were not prepared at all.

This also led to the Yuan army's smooth capture of Licheng Port.

As the first battle of the Goryeo expedition, Li Jun, Le He and others did not dare to be negligent.

It can be said that the Yuan army occupied Licheng Port, and Li Jun, Le He and others boarded the dock.

Le He personally came to the captured five hundred Goryeo navy soldiers and said in not very fluent Goryeo language: "Civilians and slaves, stand on the right."

In Bianliang City, Jiang Hongfei suddenly rewarded Le He with two Goryeo women and two former Goryeo ministers who came from Goryeo to the Zhao Song Dynasty for political asylum.

Le He was extremely smart.

Considering the food shortage in the Yuan Empire at that time, Le He boldly guessed that Jiang Hongfei would most likely deal with Goryeo next.

So, despite his busy schedule, Le He took time to learn all kinds of knowledge about the Goryeo Dynasty, especially the mountains and rivers, political structure, customs and people of the Goryeo Dynasty, and learned the Goryeo language.

After the division, Le He had all the powerful and noble classes of the Goryeo Dynasty locked up and prepared for a public trial.

As for the Goryeo civilians and slaves, Le He asked people to prepare breakfast for them, and also asked the doctors who came with the army to treat their injuries.

While the Goryeo civilians and slaves were eating, Le He personally organized a grievance meeting to remind these Goryeo civilians and slaves of their past sufferings and let them know that if they continued like this, they and their descendants would have no future. They must rise up to resist in order to change the fate of themselves and their families...

At the same time, Li Jun personally commanded the Yuan army, and the troops were divided into two groups. One group was led by Du Fu and Sun An to capture Licheng City, which was right next to Licheng Port, and the other group was led by Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, Wang Jin, Wu Yanguang, Zan Tongmei and others to kill directly in Kaijing.

Licheng City was originally just a small village. Later, because the Wang family rose from this small village, and this small village was sandwiched between Kaicheng and Licheng Port, it gradually developed into the gateway to Kaijing.

Under the leadership of more than a dozen Goryeo civilians and slaves who volunteered to lead the way, Du Fu and Sun An led the Yuan army to capture Licheng City in one fell swoop.

After breaking the city, the soldiers of the Yuan army arrested all the dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry in Licheng City.

Before noon, Le He led the civil officials of the Yuan Empire to Licheng City and began a public trial.

Heads rolled and blood flowed like a river.

At the same time, Le He and his men announced that all slaves and servants were restored to freedom, and the civilians and slaves in Licheng City were exempted from debt, and land and food were distributed.

It is worth mentioning that the dozen civilians and slaves who voluntarily led the Yuan army not only received a lot of rewards from Le He and his men, but also Le He and his men gave each of the dozen civilians and slaves who voluntarily led the Yuan army a daughter of a Goryeo noble.

Such things soon spread among the civilians and slaves in Goryeo.

The people in the Yuan Empire who were in charge of propaganda also began to vigorously spread the word through people who understood Goryeo:

"Goryeo was an accomplice of the evil, helping the Jin Kingdom to attack our Yuan Dynasty, and our emperor was furious. Our emperor also heard that the Goryeo nobles and powerful people were rich but unkind, enslaving the good people and making them like cattle and horses, and bringing disaster to their descendants, which was infuriating to both humans and gods. Therefore, it is imperative to destroy their country, liberate the good people, and restore a bright and clear world between heaven and earth."

"If the Yuan Dynasty defeats Goryeo, there will be no more slaves in Goryeo. Everyone will be free. Slaves and their descendants will be good people. They can have their own surnames, do business, become officials, and marry noble women."

"Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species? Now that the Yuan Dynasty has come, as long as you don't give up, you can get high positions and generous salaries. At the very least, you can get a hundred acres of good land and countless wealth."

"People live for a lifetime, and plants and trees only last for a season. Why should you be servants for generations?"

"The opportunity to change your destiny is right in front of you. You can choose what to do..."

At the same time, the political cadres of the Yuan Empire also organized Koreans who were good at performing to perform dramas such as "Xier" and "The Cock Crows at Midnight" for Korean slaves and civilians to arouse their anger and passion for resistance.

Jiang Hongfei was born in rebellion.

Under the guidance of Jiang Hongfei, the Yuan Empire already had a very mature set of political education methods.

Moreover, the slavery of the Goryeo Dynasty caused too much exploitation and oppression.

After the political education of the political cadres of the Yuan Empire, which was so mature that it could not be more mature, and the Goryeo civilians and slaves who followed the Yuan army and ate and drank well, and even slept with the wives of Goryeo nobles, a large number of Goryeo civilians and Goryeo slaves (especially the latter) shouted the slogan "Down with Goryeo, be loyal to the Yuan Dynasty" and stood up, becoming the most loyal supporters of the Yuan Empire.

Le He told the most active group of Goryeo civilians and slaves that as long as they made enough contributions, they would be arranged to go to Yuan Dadu to meet Jiang Hongfei, and they could also send their daughters to Yuan Dadu to participate in the selection to become imperial concubines and become royal relatives of the Yuan Empire.

Le He also said on behalf of Jiang Hongfei that if the Goryeo civilians and slaves made enough contributions, Jiang Hongfei would also give them the surname of the Yuan Empire, that is, let them take Jiang Hongfei's surname "Jiang".

Seeing that the emperor of the great country who destroyed the Liao Dynasty and the Zhao Song Dynasty was not only willing to meet these humble people in person, but also willing to take their daughters as imperial concubines, and even willing to let them have the surname "Jiang", the common people and slaves of Goryeo were completely crazy.

You should know that the royal family and clan of the Goryeo Dynasty only married internally, that is, close relatives married.

The initiator was Wang Jian, the founder of Goryeo.

The Goryeo Dynasty founded by Wang Jian was actually a joint regime of powerful families, and the Wang family was actually just one of the many aristocratic families in the Goryeo Dynasty.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some powerful separatist powerful families have the strength to challenge the Wang family.

In order to stabilize the Goryeo regime, Wang Jian adopted the method of marriage to win over the powerful families from all over the country.

At the same time, Wang Jian was afraid that the royal power would fall into the hands of others.

So Wang Jian married six of his nine daughters to his six sons, letting his twelve children digest internally, and stipulated that, except for very special cases, princesses could only marry members of the clan and were prohibited from marrying outside.

The common people and slaves of Goryeo did not understand that this was a marriage between close relatives, which was a manifestation of extreme backwardness.

In the eyes of the common people and slaves of Goryeo, this was a manifestation of the Goryeo royal family and clan guaranteeing the purity of their bloodline, and others had no chance to obtain the noble blood of the royal family and clan.

And now, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, who was more noble than the Goryeo royal family, was willing to let the daughters of these common people and slaves give birth to their own offspring. This was no ordinary favor.

More importantly, as long as these common people and slaves of Goryeo made great contributions, they could also have the most noble surname "Jiang" in the Yuan Empire.

Extremely favored!

Moreover, under the education of the political cadres of the Yuan Empire, these common people and slaves of Goryeo knew very well that as long as the Yuan Empire defeated Goryeo, they would become the new nobles of this land, and if the Yuan Empire could not defeat Goryeo, then they and their descendants would always be slaves who could not do business, could not be officials, could only marry slaves, and would never have hope.

Therefore, this is not only a war of the Yuan Empire, but also a war of these Goryeo civilians and Goryeo slaves.

The political cadres of the Yuan Empire told these Goryeo civilians and slaves that this was their only chance. If the Yuan Empire could not defeat the Goryeo Dynasty this time, they would have no chance to turn over.

Seeing this, some ambitious civilians and slaves were like chicken blood, and they signed up to join the army.

Li Jun established the first Ji Army with the Yuan soldiers who knew Goryeo as the skeleton.

After a simple day of training, Li Jun sent this Ji Army to the battlefield in Kaijing.

When the Ji Army arrived in Kaijing, the Yuan Army had already fought with the Goryeo Jing Army.

The Goryeo Jing Army was known as the Six Guards and the Second Army.

The Second Army was divided into three leaders, one leader of the Yingyang Army and two leaders of the Longhu Army.

The six guards were divided into 42 leaders. There were 10 leaders of Baosheng and 3 leaders of Jingyong under the left and right guards; 5 leaders of Baosheng and 2 leaders of Jingyong under the Shenhu Guard; 7 leaders of Baosheng and 5 leaders of Jingyong under the Xingwei Guard; 6 leaders of Jingyong and 1 leader of Yi under the Jinwu Guard; 1 leader of Changling and 1 leader of Hailing under the Qianniu Guard; and 1 leader under the Jianmen Guard.

One leader was about 1,000 people.

Baosheng was the infantry, and Jingyong was the cavalry.

In total, the Goryeo capital army had about 45,000 troops.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the year, the Goryeo Dynasty had just been ambushed by the Jin army led by Wanyan Zongwang. In order to prevent the Jin army from going south again, Wang Kai and Li Ziqian mobilized and recruited 100,000 troops.

The good news is that these 100,000 troops were deployed by Wang Kai and Li Ziqian in the Xijing area to prevent the Jin people from going south again.

The bad news is that Goryeo Xijing was not too far from Goryeo Kaijing.

In terms of time, it would take at least three to five days, or at most ten days or half a month, for the 100,000 Goryeo troops to come back for support.

So the Yuan army had to take over Luocheng, the capital of Kaijing, as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Wang Kai and his ministers had never expected that the Yuan army would send 100,000 troops to behead them, and they had never expected that the Yuan army would be so strong.

Based on this, Wang Kai and his ministers sent six guards to form the five armies of the middle, front, back, left, and right to fight against the Yuan army.

As a result, Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, Wang Jin, Wu Yanguang, Zan Tongmei and other generals, under the lead of the Iron Buddha Right Army led by Hu Yanzhuo, defeated the main force of the Goryeo army in one fell swoop, and caused heavy casualties.

After the Ji army arrived at the battlefield, its main task was to capture prisoners.

When the Ji army handed over the prisoners to the Yuan infantry that followed, and arrived at Luocheng, the Yuan army had already begun to attack the city.

Dozens of flying bridges were built on the walls of Luocheng, and the soldiers of the Yuan army rushed up the walls again and again without fear of death, fighting a life-and-death battle with the Goryeo army.

There were civilians and slaves who had experienced the Jin army's attack on Luocheng. They found that those wolf-like Jin people were not as powerful as the Yuan people.

Not long after, Fei Bao came to these slaves and said, "The Goryeo army can no longer resist, and your chance to make merit has come."

Fei Bao did not lie.

The Yuan army came too suddenly.

The key point was that because Wang Kai and his ministers underestimated the enemy, the main force of the Goryeo Jing army was defeated by the Yuan army in the field battle, which left only the second army with less than 10,000 troops in Luocheng.

In addition, Luocheng was large, so there were naturally more places to defend. Under such a tight budget, there would definitely be loopholes.

The key point was that seeing that the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty was about to be broken, the soldiers of the Yuan army, although very tired, still showed a strong fighting passion.

With one side gaining and the other losing, how could Luocheng be defended?

Although the Goryeo civilians and slaves who surrendered to the Yuan Empire did not know how to fight, they also saw that the Yuan army was now in the initiative.

So, this Yuan general did not lie to them, and they really shared the merits of the war with them.

What else is there to say?

Under the leadership of the Yuan general, the Goryeo civilian militia and Goryeo slave soldiers in the Ji army also rushed to Feiqiao under the arrows.

Although this was just a favorable battle, the Goryeo civilian militia and Goryeo slave soldiers still fought very passionately. They vented all their hatred for the nobles and powerful groups on the Goryeo defenders.

Soon, they who had been baptized by the fire of war were fearless and brave, and they were not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice to change the fate of themselves and their descendants! ! !

The Goryeo capital was broken...
