Chapter 817 Song Liao Come and Help Gao Li

The place where the two missions of the Song and Liao dynasties stayed was not in the small and broken Haizhou city. Kaijing in Goryeo was similar to a forest park. Wild boars and big bad wolves appeared everywhere in the city from time to time. You can imagine what Haizhou looks like.

Of course, there are no wild boars and wolves in Haizhou City. Haizhou City is not that large, with a total of two or three streets and a circle of earthen walls. This is the most prosperous commercial city in Goryeo...

The Tax and Customs Office in Haizhou City was originally in this small broken city, but after Wu Yanchong contracted Haizhou tax and customs to the Song people to compensate for the debts for weapons transactions, the "tax official" from Jiehe Shang City moved the Tax and Customs Office from Haizhou City to Haizhou Port. He also circled a piece of land near Haizhou Port and built a new tax and official office that could definitely be called a magnificent magnificent to the standards of Goryeo.

This yamen can be regarded as the best house in Haizhou. It is big, spacious and luxurious. The various furnishings and even the servants and servants were transported from Jiehe Market. The renovation is much more magnificent than the residences of the Guardians of the Goryeo Kingdom. Moreover, there are solid walls and trenches around the houses. The houses of the Goryeo families all have high walls and trenches, like a castle. So the missions of the Song and Liao countries who arrived in Haizhou simply moved into this newly completed tax and customs office.

The missions of the two countries lived in this tax bar for a few days. Wu Yanchong, deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor of Goryeo, took his companion to Haizhou City, and met the envoys of the Song and Liao countries who were as close as a family.

"The Prime Minister Wu Shu is not to be hiding. This time, I am the envoy and the envoy of Xiao Zheng of the Great Liao Kingdom and the Deputy Envoy of Ma came to visit Goryeo for the same purpose."

After a greeting, Su Shi, who had had an association with Wu Yanchong, started to explain the purpose of his visit, Xiao Delis and Ma Zhi.

Su Shi said: "The purpose is to help Goryeo!"

Are you here to help?

Wu Yanchong looked at Xiao Delis and Ma Zhi in Khitan robe. The two of them sat in the same hall with the two Song envoys today, drinking and talking and reciting poems together... Is the relationship between Song and Liao countries that good?

"Yes," Ma Zhi took over the topic. "The Emperor of the Daliao was shocked when he heard that the tens of thousands of troops of the Koryo Kingdom were defeated by hundreds of cavalry who had daughters. So he sent envoys to discuss with the Song Dynasty officials to help the Koryo Kingdom together to prevent it from being ravaged by the barbarians."

In fact, in the eyes of Goryeo, the Khitans were also barbaric! However, the Khitans themselves did not recognize them. They thought they were orthodox Chinese and always wanted to be commensurate with the two dynasties of the Song Dynasty, including the north and south.

Wu Yanchong was stunned and stunned, looking at Ma Zhi and asked, "Is it that the country of Shang Dynasty wants to send troops to help?"

The Liao Dynasty envoy Xiao Delis shook his head and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Wu Shu, the daughter of Zhi is also my vassal state of the Liao Dynasty. They have no disrespect. Moreover, this battle of Helandian was also initiated by your Goryeo... The northern border of Goryeo is not the Great Wall that ends at the Thousand Mile of Miles?"

"The envoy means... the emperor will not allow our country to cross the Great Wall to send troops?"

The relationship between the Great Liao and Goryeo was not equal, but the monarch, minister, master and servant. If Goryeo had not been beaten by hundreds of female cavalrymen, they might have been able to resist.

Now, as long as the Great Liao Kingdom gives orders, the Goryeo Kingdom will have to admit defeat. Yin Guan’s plan to strengthen the army can only be ruined.

"No, no."

Ma Zhi smiled and said, "That's not what the emperor meant, otherwise he wouldn't have sent us to help Goryeo."

"Oh..." Wu Yanchong nodded.

He already understood that the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom must think that having a daughter is too powerful! Now that the Koryo Kingdom has lost its temper, he will attack the Great Liao in the future. That is why the Liao Kingdom will help the Koryo Kingdom, hoping to use the Koryo Kingdom to restrain the birth of a daughter. However, this matter cannot be stated explicitly, otherwise the face of the Great Liao Kingdom will be left without a place to put it down.

"Then the Song Dynasty wanted to..." Wu Yanchong was a little confused about the purpose of the envoys of the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty should want to regain Yan Yun! Then they should contact the powerful one now, instead of helping the Goryeo Kingdom with the Liao Dynasty.

No matter how hard Goryeo works hard to manage, it is impossible to destroy the birth of a daughter. At most, it is to take away the next part of the laziness and save some face.

For the Song Dynasty, the value of Goryeo is not as valuable as that of a powerful woman...

Su Shi smiled and said, "Our envoy and Deputy envoy Su came here to help Goryeo. Goryeo is a country of etiquette and a vassal of my friendly country of the Song Dynasty. We should help Goryeo resist the barbarians of the female ruler.

In addition, in order to marry Princess Cheng'an of the Great Liao Dynasty for the King of Xiping, our dynasty has given the tax collection rights of the Goryeo Haizhou Taxation and Busan Taxation as a betrothal gift to the Liao Kingdom. This time..."

"What a bottom!"

Wu Yanchong was not stupid, and he immediately realized something was wrong.

There is nothing to hand over the Haizhou tax customs and Busan tax customs to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was weak and could not reach Goryeo. In fact, it was just a matter of controlling the tax customs... to avoid people saying that Goryeo was owed to the debt. But the Song Dynasty has actually handed over these two tax customs to the Liao Dynasty! This has made the Goryeo miserable.

The Liao Kingdom is about to block these two taxes. Will the merchants in Goryeo still dare not pay taxes?

In addition, the tax customs can be stationed with some armed tax collectors! Now the Jiehe Maritime Bureau of Song State is in Haizhou, and there are dozens of armed tax collectors in Busan. The Goryeo Kingdom naturally thinks they do not exist. But if it is replaced by Liao soldiers, the Goryeo people should not be worried!?

"This time I came here to deliver the two taxes to the Great Liao Kingdom." Su Shi smiled, "Sir Wu Shu, I think you, Goryeo, won't object to this matter, right?"

Ma Zhi took over the topic and said with a smile: "I, the Emperor of Daliao, heard that you need war horses, and are preparing to give 1,000 good horses to the Goryeo Kingdom... It will be delivered soon. In addition, Daliao will also send cavalry professors to teach Goryeo Kingdom's horses immediately. Isn't you Goryeo want to take back two taxes, right?"

"No, no..." Wu Yanchong was sweating coldly on his forehead. He used taxes to compensate for the purchase of weapons, but he proposed to the King of Goryeo. Now that the Great Liao Kingdom is about to squeeze in, the King will not be furious, right?

Ma Zhi said again: "My Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty thinks that more than ten years is a bit short, so it is better to extend the time for the transfer of taxes a little. How about 100 years?"

100 years? Wu Yanchong opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer.

Xiao Delis smiled and said, "By the way, my court still wants to rent 10,000 acres of land near Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass and open two small markets... Of course, we will pay as much as the rent."

Rent a land market?

After hearing the conditions of the Liao envoy, Wu Yanchong immediately felt a ridiculous feeling. What exactly did the Liao people want to do? Did they want to invade the Goryeo Kingdom? But two taxes and two 10,000 acres of commercial cities can be stored? How many soldiers can be stored in a few thousand people? Is it possible that the Goryeo Kingdom can be swallowed up with this little force?

Could it be that the soldiers of the Great Liao Dynasty are as powerful as those of the ones who gave birth to daughters?

Thinking of this, Wu Yanchong's head was shaking like a wave drum.

"No, no, Haizhou is absolutely not possible!" Wu Yanchong said, "Haizhou is the gateway to open Beijing, and it is absolutely impossible to open a commercial market!"

This answer was actually expected by Su Shi and Ma Zhi. When they were in Jiehe Market, they had discussed it repeatedly with Wu Haogu.

Su Shi and Ma Zhi looked at each other for a moment, and Ma Zhi said, "Then rent 20,000 acres of land in Busan and open a market that specializes in trading with Japan. Is that okay?"

...

Kaijing, royal palace, Linchuan Pavilion.

"King, I think this matter is extremely suspicious. Maybe there is a conspiracy and I must not agree to them!"

Wu Yanchong, who returned from Haizhou, was reporting to the Goryeo king Wang Yong about the negotiations with the envoys of the Liao and Song dynasties. When talking about the issue of "Liao Concession", he did not wait for Wang Yong to raise the question and gave a suggestion first. This matter was too strange! The Khitans did not know how to do business at all, so how could they want a market that could do business with the Japanese? So they had to clean themselves up as soon as possible.

"Yin Qing," Wang Yong frowned and asked Yin Guan present, "What do you think?"

"The market in Busan is not what the Khitans want, right?" Yin Guan said in thought, "Even if the Khitans can station some troops there, they will not be able to attack Kaijing from Busan."

"It's better to call from Baozhou in the north!" Wang Yong said.

"Maybe," Wu Yanchong's forehead was already sweating beads. "I guess, this may be the coastal market control department of Song State is making trouble."

He is from the Wu family in Haizhou. He knows some Wu Haogu's plans, so he can naturally guess some of Wu Haogu's intentions.

"What do they want?" Wang Yong asked.

"I know they have always wanted Japan to start a country." Wu Yanchong said, "Su Shi, who visited this time, is from the Coastal Maritime Control Department. He has been to Japan several times and has been blocked by Dazaifu. If they can have a market along the southern coast of our country..."

Yin Guan asked: "They want a market, why are the Khitans leading up?"

"As far as I know," said Wu Yanchong, "the relationship between the coastal Maritime Control Department of the State of Song Dynasty and the Khitans is very close."

"How could this happen?" Wang Yong thought for a while. He had no capital to offend the two overlords of Song and Liao at the same time. "Busanpu still can't give them... find another remote island and let them build a market on the island."

Wu Yanchong replied: "King, I know that there is a Jueying Island near Busan Pu. It is better to set aside 15,000 acres of land on this small island and rent it to the Khitans."

"Okay." Wang Yong said, "Move the tax customs in Busanpu to Jueying Island too! And the Song, Liao and Japanese merchants on Jueying Island are not allowed to land on off-island."

Yin Guan suddenly thought of something and reported: "King, I remember that the Song people seemed to have rented a piece of land on Danluo Island and opened a horse farm... Will they take advantage of our new defeat to make plans for Danluo Island?"
