Chapter 617 621. Conquest of Goryeo

621, conquer Korea

Inside the military tent, Guo Jiaxian picked up the thin book. When he touched it, he felt that the paper quality was very different from what he was familiar with. It felt very soft and delicate. He had never seen the binding of a book before, and he could not see the thread binding. Where.

On the cover, there is a drawing of a sword and a large seal, symbolizing war and power. On the right side, the two characters Spring and Autumn are arranged vertically. Below it, there are three smaller fonts: Written by Liu Hao.

Guo Jiagang was about to turn the page, but stopped again, and suddenly realized that this kind of painting mode had never been seen on a cover before, and the colors were even more distinct. The bronze on the armor was stained with rust, and the jade color on the large seal was very soft. , just like the real thing.

The books that Liu Hao brought into the world of the Three Kingdoms are all arranged vertically, which is suitable for native people of the Three Kingdoms. However, they are also marked with punctuation marks, making it more comfortable to read without the need to self-segment sentences. This makes Cao Cao and Guo Jia very comfortable, and they can read in an instant. After understanding the function of these punctuation marks, I have the intention to promote it.

In Liaodong, the promotion of the Quyu plow has greatly improved farming efficiency and improved physical fitness, allowing a child to pull the Quyu plow back and forth. Liaodong sells it to every household at extremely low prices;

Payments will be made after the autumn harvest, which makes the people more enthusiastic, and the investment in production is getting higher and higher. The introduction of food protection prices has made the rule of Liu Hao and others enter the support stage. The land of Liaodong exudes amazing energy, hidden in the mountains and villages. The common people also left one after another, adding hundreds of thousands of people to the land of Liaodong out of thin air.

After the spring plowing was over, Liu Hao organized the people to build roads, provided lunch, paid wages, and connected the city with major villages and towns. From Liaodong County to Xuantu, Lelang, Han County and other major counties, new refined products were used. The cement paving is about twelve meters wide, and a large number of Sanhan slaves were used.

The smoothness of these roads will not only allow for the rapid circulation of goods, but more importantly, the dispatch of troops will become very fast. The main roads with cement structures were comparable to modern expressways during the Three Kingdoms era. Once there was something at the border, people from all over the country could The deployment of troops and horses will be extremely fast, which is why Liu Hao and others are laying a solid foundation for the subsequent expansion.

In May, the first one million copies of "The Analects" were printed, and all were sent to other princely territories for dumping at low prices. The addition of punctuation marks caused a crack in the academic interpretation rights, and countless scholars from poor families benefited. Liaozhou The bookstore was known to the majority of literati, and became known throughout the world.

In the land of Liaodong, more than a hundred Mongolian schools have been established, and they have begun to recruit school-age children free of charge, regardless of gender, and are provided with three meals a day. Excellent students can also receive scholarships, allowing the common people to send many scholars.

The people are not stupid, and how can they not know the benefits of studying? It is just a family difficulty. Children have been half of the family's labor force since they were young. Now the schools provide food and drink. This saving is enough to make the people put aside their hesitations;

Liu Haohai did not start compulsory enrollment. One of the main reasons is the lack of teachers. Hundreds of schools can only cover towns, towns and counties. This is the only way at present. Most of these teachers are sergeants brought by Liu Hao from the earth, which is also certain. Under the circumstances, military education is started in the school and the martial arts style is passed on.

That month, the Navy captured the Ryukyu Islands and established a naval base. Unbeknownst to Liu Hao, the Navy also captured Kyushu Island, a native country, and captured a large number of slaves to build a seaport.

When the information was presented, Liu Hao felt very happy. With an order, the glass products in stock began to be sold to the country of Benzi at a high price in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver reserves in preparation for starting the printing of new coins.

The new currency introduced the earth's mold and was divided into three currencies: gold, silver and copper. The five-baht coin is still popular and used as the smallest unit, while the new copper coin's exchange rate for the five-baht coin is 1:10, and further up,

The ratio of silver coins to copper coins is 1:100, and the ratio of gold coins to silver coins is also 1:100.

The copper coin structure in the round sky and the square place was cancelled, and was replaced by an overall structure with vertical marks on the outer ring to prevent it from being chipped and deceiving the people.

The earth's technological molds and coin alloy ratios make it extremely difficult to imitate coins, which also effectively ensures the value of coins and facilitates circulation.

At the same time, bank currency exchange is promoted in Liaozhou to add support to commercial circulation. At present, currency currency only occupies the territory of Liu Hao. When the time is right, branches will be built across the Han Dynasty to unify the currency in the future. Under certain circumstances, the currency will be unified.

The entire Three Kingdoms were tied to Liu Hao's chariot.

Liu Hao specially prepared many molds on Earth for this purpose. For example, gold coins were engraved with Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others, and were even issued by Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others. These coins will continue to be cast while they are still alive.

The die-casting will not be canceled until they fail, and the circulation of the original coins will not be restricted.

In addition, Liu Hao is also preparing to promote major civil servants and generals in the future, such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, etc. When the circulation is released, Liu Hao will also make various choices, such as who will expand the most to foreign races.

His portrait is the most issued, which will make these princes, civil servants and generals more eager to expand abroad. What is the difference between the issuance of this kind of coins and leaving a name in history?

Among the coins ready for circulation in Liaodong, gold coins are still very rare, and there is only the statue of Liu Hao. Among the silver coins, Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, and Huang Zhong have the most. Among the areas where they are distributed, Han County

In the original Sanhan area, Jia Xu had the largest circulation of silver coins, followed by Zhang Xiu and Huang Zhong. The same was true for other places that were later conquered.

Originally Liu Hao didn't want to carve his own statue into it, but Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others said something that forced Liu Hao to do it. The meaning of this sentence was that if Liu Hao didn't do this, the value of the sculpture would be devalued, as would other princes.

, civil servants and military generals alike, would only feel that this was not a reward, but had another purpose.

Therefore, Liu Hao chose gold coins, which are the least circulated coins in society, to have his portrait engraved on them. Even so, he still felt a little excited in his heart, which also made Liu Hao think that his strategy would be very smooth.

On the copper coins, there are statues of 'scholars, farmers, workers, merchants and soldiers', with an equal number, each accounting for 20%. It was also the first currency to be implemented. It began to circulate when salaries were paid. Later, these currencies were also used to settle payments to major merchants.

The exquisite carvings and unimitable fineness made these copper coins very popular as soon as they were circulated. Many aristocratic families who stored large amounts of gold, silver and copper cakes, and merchants transported the materials in carts to exchange them. Fortunately, Liu Hao and others

People had anticipated this situation, and the currency reserves were sufficient. In addition, these cakes could be re-cast in time, so there was no shortage of money.

It is impossible to gain trust in bank promotion at once, and Liu Hao is not in a hurry. As time goes by, merchants will be the first batch of people to join the banking system. With gold, silver, and copper coins traveling all over the body, how can a bankbook be practical?

In order to prevent others from pretending to claim it, Liu Hao also put a lot of thought into it. In addition to seals, portraits, and passwords, the bankbook also used unique talismans to identify the owner's aura. After tens of thousands of tests, it was released. On a certain basis,

, it is not much different from the earth, and the level of security is comparable to that of the earth. The only troublesome thing is that the speed is slower, and it is not a big problem in a short period of time.

In May, spring plowing ended, and Liaodong products began to look for agents in the major princely areas, such as the Zhen family in Yuan Shao's territory, the Mi family in Xuzhou, the Huang family in Jingzhou, the Lu family in Jiangdong, etc. Based on them, they began to sell glass

Products are sold on a large scale;

While making a lot of money, they also dumped paper and books, stipulating the retail price of agents. If the price exceeds the retail price, the agent's qualifications will be revoked, making the gap in the cultural monopoly of the Three Kingdoms even wider.

Rare books can now be seen everywhere and are sold very cheaply, greatly enriching the cultural learning of the middle and lower classes.

After a period of dumping, Liu Hao also heard about the backlash from aristocratic families in various places, but the books had already been sold in large quantities, and it was impossible for the aristocratic families to collect them again. In desperation, they had no choice but to go around and describe Liu Hao as a stinky businessman.

Liu Hao was not a gentleman, he was a little angry when he was scolded, and he was still such an unreasonable interest class. In anger, he opened the Liaodong newspaper business, printed newspapers and periodicals on a large scale, and sold them at a price of five baht per copy, causing massive losses.

In sales, newspapers and periodicals not only satirized the aristocratic families in a subtle way, but also used them to enlighten the people's wisdom.

He didn't expect that this trick was very effective. People attached great importance to paper. They would buy a newspaper for five baht, and most of them would treasure it when their children came home from school.

Trying to learn the characters;

Over a long period of time, many people were indeed literate. When half a year passed, the literacy rate in Liaodong soared. From those who were occasionally literate, half of them read newspapers and periodicals half a year later, making the wealthy families completely literate in Liaodong.

Losing the ability to govern culture.

These newspapers and periodicals were circulated to the vassal areas through the hands of merchants. The extremely low price not only allowed the poor scholars to understand the world better, greatly broadened their horizons, but also allowed Liu Hao's Liaodong land to gain many poor scholars.

recognition and support;

It also made it much easier for Liu Hao to recruit personnel in the future. Scholars from poor families who had difficulty getting opportunities in the princely areas came to Liaodong one after another, which consolidated the territory Liu Hao developed.

At the end of May, 400,000 Han tenants were replaced by Sanhan slaves. These people went to Hanjun, completely consolidating the Han dominance of Hanjun, and also freed up Jia Xu to direct Zhang Xiu to plunder slaves from Goryeo.

In mid-June, Goryeo couldn't bear the disturbance and mobilized 50,000 troops and horses to press down on Lelang. Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu fought. On the other hand, Huang Zhong set out from Xuantu to attack the city. Goryeo was attacked on both sides and it was difficult to finish.

Gu, the troops that hurriedly regrouped were besieged by Zhuge Liang, who arrived at the Bagua Formation. Half a month later, they all surrendered after running out of ammunition and food.

At the end of June, Jia Xu saw that the time was ripe and spread the news in the capital of Goryeo, saying frankly that the general who was confronting him had turned against him. He also spread the news at the headquarters of the opposing generals that the Goryeo royal family was planning to change generals.

The method is very simple, but under the operation of Jia Xu's talent skills, the doubters became convinced, and the hesitators had doubts, which caused a gap between the Goryeo royal family and the generals. Three days later, a forged letter from Jia Xu was intercepted by the royal spies, and more

This strengthened the royal family's intention to change generals, and the news spread to the front army, causing the morale of the Goryeo army to plummet.

Seeing this, Jia Xu spread rumors in the Koryogi army camp that night. He did not say anything else, but just said "raise fire as a signal at the third watch" to force the Koryeo generals to doubt each other.

It was night, Gao Li was waiting solemnly, waiting left and right, but there was no sign of the Liaodong army. After the third watch, it was still calm. After another hour, the army was all dozing off. Seeing that the Liaodong army was not coming, the leading general could only

If you can, give up and leave a few people on duty while the others rest.

At five o'clock in the morning, there was an explosion in the Goryeo camp, and fire shot into the sky. The awakened Goryeo army rushed around in panic. In the chaos, and because they had rested for less than an hour, they were drowsy and began to lose sight of the enemy. Not long after,

, Goryeo's 50,000 elite soldiers began to blow up the camp, and the fighting continued until noon. It was not until Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu came with the army that they were exhausted.

In this battle, Jia Xu wiped out the 50,000 Goryeo army with almost no effort. These 50,000 Goryeo army can also be said to be the standing army of Goryeo, the best among the elite soldiers. Therefore, the ten leading generals of Goryeo army

They cherish each other so much that they are happy to confront each other without engaging in large-scale battles. Jia Xu's purpose was to draw this army out and create opportunities for Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong. Now that Zhuge Liang's side has forced the enemy to surrender, his arrangement has also reached the final stage.

The main force of 100,000 Goryeo troops was lost, which was also a serious injury for Goryeo. A dozen cities were lost. According to modern maps, the Goryeo defense line has retreated into the scope of Liaoning.

Conquering an area and digesting it was the strategy formulated by Liu Hao and the other three. They captured these areas, redefined the area, and gave a new county name "Liaobei County". Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu were stationed there to prevent Goryeo.

Counterattack.

After capturing a county, the slave road construction army began construction. On the one hand, the newly added slaves formed a servant army and trained to prepare for the future conquest of Wuheng. On the other hand, they were dispatched to the south to start the repair work of coastal roads and ports.

When the new battle report was submitted to Xu Du and then transferred to Cao Mengde who was stationed in Baima, Cao Cao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"First it's Han County, now it's Liaobei County, and overseas Jiuzhou County (this country's Kyushu Island); the land of these three counties is inferior to me!"

"My lord, Goryeo won't last long. I predict that Jia Wenhe will hire Zuwo barbarians to plunder Goryeo. They and others will take advantage of this gap to consolidate the foundation for the next conquest!"

Guo Jia had already put himself in Jia Xu's position, glanced at the map, and thoroughly analyzed Jia Xu's next plan.

Jia Xu originally took one step at a time and saw three steps at a time. The conquest document formed during the war situation meeting in Goryeo also marked this point. This time, when the battle reached the border of Zuwo country, he stopped fighting and let Zuwo

The national peace of mind prevented them from uniting with Goryeo. On the other hand, it was also based on the idea of ​​​​employing the Zuwo Kingdom to plunder Goryeo's slaves with money and materials.

Zuwo Kingdom, the ancestor of the Jurchen tribe in the future, Liu Hao has no intention of letting go. These empty-headed guys in front of him are indeed good swords. In the future, whether to destroy the country or annex and assimilate it depends on Zuwo Kingdom's own choice.
