A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 630 Facing swords and guns, only kneeling
In the blink of an eye, it was early autumn.

On the school field of the Maritime Base of the Four Seas Trading Company in South Long Island, 98 guards wearing black steel helmets, carrying Mauser [-]K rifles on their shoulders, wearing yellow and green camouflage uniforms, and a pair of cowhide boots on their feet, stared at the point general platform. .

Wang Lidong, standing on the platform, watched this scene, almost waved his right hand, and said, "Hello, comrades. Thank you, comrades."

"Young master, trumpet."

Wang Lidong stretched out his hand to take the big iron horn that Buwei handed over, put it to his mouth, activated his internal energy, and said to the guards in the arena:
"Some people will be curious, why do you want to conquer Goryeo?

I don't talk to you about national hatred and family hatred, such high-sounding bullshit for the country and the people.

There are two reasons. The first is to improve everyone's actual combat and large-scale cooperative combat capabilities.

We have fought nearly 50 times in these years, but most of our opponents are mobs like bandits and bandits. The largest one is only a few hundred people, which is a small fight.

As the business of the trading company grows bigger and bigger, one day they may encounter big forces in the future. If they are inexperienced, they will definitely suffer.

Second, in the past two years, the Korea Shipbuilding Department has repeatedly targeted our trading company, and the tax rate has been raised from 15% to 35%. If this continues, the business here in Korea will not make money.

Moreover, several forces have begun to learn from Korea and raise tax rates to exploit us.

If we don't teach Koryo Bangzi a lesson, the trading company's overseas business will have nothing to do in the future.

Don’t even think about the hundreds of thousands of dividends every year, and you will be blessed by Sanqing if you can pay the monthly money on time!
Everyone said, do you want to make Korean sticks? ! ! "

The [-] guards, all filled with righteous indignation, raised their arms and shouted:

"Fuck Goryeo to death!"

"Damn the stick!"

"Fuck! Dare to blackmail our money, fuck it hard!"

"."

30.00% of the annual profit of the Four Seas Trading Company will be distributed to each employee in the form of dividends. In other words, each employee is a small shareholder of the trading company. The trading company makes less money, that is, these people make less money. If there is no dividend, If you rely on a dead salary, the quality of life will definitely drop a lot, and anyone will jump.

Seeing the performance of the guards, Wang Lidong nodded in satisfaction.

Interest is the best motivation and loyalty medicine.

As long as the money is in place, most of the employees will be grateful and will not "receive rewards for nothing." After a long time, they will naturally become more and more loyal and regard the company as their home.

Just like when the Song Dynasty fell, many civil servants would rather die than submit, but when the Ming Dynasty fell, the civil servants surrendered one after another. The big reason is that Zhao Kuangyin was willing to spend money, and Zhu Yuanzhang was too picky.

The salary of a county magistrate in the Song Dynasty is almost ten times that of the county magistrate in the Ming Dynasty. At the top, the monthly salary of a prime minister in the Song Dynasty is about 50 million yuan, while that of a prime minister in the Ming Dynasty is only about 2 yuan a month.

The next day, in Kaesong Palace, the royal capital of Koryo, a middle-aged man with a square face and a 24-beam Tongtian crown sat on a dragon chair in Qinzheng Hall.

In the main hall, there are fifty or sixty officials in court clothes of various colors, purple shirts, red shirts, and green shirts. It is the court meeting of the Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, a total of 150 people will be admitted in this examination, and Huiyuan will take Pu Kedao from Anxi Mansion, Jiangnan Road." Li Ting, the servant (prime minister) under the door, bowed slightly.

Although the King of Koryo accepted the canonization of the Central Plains Dynasty, he was a political system of an external king and an internal emperor. He called himself a little king when he made a statement to the Central Plains Dynasty, but he always boasted "the Son of Haidong" internally, and called himself "my widow".

The king's order is called "edict", "system" and "imperial decree", the king's heir is called "Prince"; the king's mother is called "Queen Dowager", and the capital is called "Imperial City".

There are records of monarchs such as Guangzong of Goryeo being directly referred to as "emperor", and even Taejo and Guangzong established their own reign names.

The arrogance of Bangzi has remained the same for thousands of years.

"Pu Kedao?" Wang Hui, the 11th king of Goryeo, was a little dazed. He always felt that the name sounded familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was. He said, "Your Majesty, this Pu Kedao is Li Xiang's second son-in-law."

How bold!

This time the chief examiner was Prime Minister Li Ting.

"The list, present it."

Prime Minister Li Ting saw the cold look in the eyes of the King of Korea looking at him, so he knew that Liang's servant hadn't said anything good just now.

I have crossed this person's name in my heart.

After accepting his benefits, he dared to stab him with a knife.
"Report! Urgent report at six hundred miles!...Report! Urgent report at six hundred miles!" The voice changed from far to near, and the faces of the courtiers in the hall changed slightly. They hadn't seen the urgent report at six hundred miles for many years.

Unless there is an invasion by foreign enemies, or there is a rebellion in a certain place, this level of communication is not allowed to be used.

"Report! Six hundred miles urgent report," a messenger staggered into the hall, "Your Majesty, an hour ago, the army of the Song Dynasty captured Bilandu Port (the gate of Gyeonggi, 40 miles away from the royal city), and General Kang Zhao fought Die, the Song army is about to approach the imperial city!"

Whoa!
The hall immediately boiled up!
King Goryeo stood up "teng", jumped off the dragon chair, rushed to the messenger and grabbed the emergency report, opened it and read it carefully, then frowned.

Prime Minister Li Ting didn't care about the etiquette of the emperor and ministers at this time, he leaned forward to look at the note in the emperor's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, what should I say in the urgent report."

King Goryeo handed the urgent report to the prime minister, and the prime minister Li Ting took it and read it carefully, his face became a little strange.

"Li Xiang, Li Xiang, what is written in the urgent report?"

Seeing the expressions of the two, all the courtiers spoke out one after another.

Li Ting glanced at the King of Koryo and saw him nodding slightly, so he handed it to the servant beside him. After the servant took it, he read it aloud word by word.

What kind of iron pipe is on fire, it will kill people and thunder during the day
All the courtiers looked at me and I looked at you, all with dumbfounded faces.

It feels like listening to a fairy tale.

In this era, even the most developed Song Dynasty did not invent firearms, not to mention the bitter cold of Sanhan, there is no relevant concept in mind for such high-tech things.

The ministers asked the messenger to describe the situation when the war started. The messenger stumbled and said a lot, but he didn't go into details in the urgent report.

Prime Minister Li Ting came out and said:
"Your Majesty, you should immediately arrange a group of reliable people to go to the port of Vilando to investigate the situation."

King Goryeo looked at the ranks of generals and said, "Pu Xingheng."

The commander in front of the hall came out and knelt down on the ground: "Minister Pu Xingheng, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Bring a battalion of cavalry and quickly find out the enemy's situation."

"The minister takes orders."

Privy Envoy Li Zhiquan came out and said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is the safety of Your Majesty and the capital."

As an outstanding representative of the fear of death, the King of Koryo hastily ordered to close all the gates of the royal city, and arranged for the old father-in-law and Taiwei to take over the defense of the royal city to prevent the Song people from invading.
Two hours later, Wang Lidong brought [-] soldiers and horses to the foot of the Koryo royal city, and saw that the city wall was more than ten meters high, which was exactly the same as in the information.

The turtle shell is big and hard.

Immediately divide the troops and surround the entire imperial city.

After an hour, the twelve city gates were finally in place.

"My lord, a big fish appeared on the tower." Buwei checked the defenses on the city wall half a mile away with a binoculars, and suddenly found a few more officials in purple robes on the tower, and these people were surrounded by a yellow robe. The young man said, "My lord, the one in bright yellow won't be the King of Goryeo?"

Wang Lidong raised the binoculars on his chest and took a closer look, "Too young, he doesn't look 30 years old at all, he should be the younger brother of the King of Korea."

Turning his head to look at the wrong way,
"Have the three steel artillery battalions been arranged?"

The establishment of the armed forces of the Four Seas Trading Company is roughly in accordance with the principle of the three-three system of the previous PlLa. One artillery battalion governs three artillery companies, and each artillery company has three artillery platoons. Each artillery platoon is equipped with 3 steel cannons. One artillery battalion There are 3 small steel cannons.

This time he brought a total of 81 small steel cannons. The number is a little small. He wanted to bring more, but unfortunately the production could not keep up. Two days made up the number he needed.

Buwei nodded and said: "It has been arranged."

Wang Lidong said: "Command, let's fire three salvos first to see the power of our small steel cannons. Remember to take care of the tower and let a few big fish enjoy the enthusiasm of our people from all over the world!"

"Three rounds of salvo!" Niu Ergen, the commander of the 1st Artillery Battalion, ordered.

"Three salvos! Start reloading!" The three heads (company commanders) of the 1st Artillery Battalion ordered in unison to the three artillery platoons under their command.

The loaders of 9 artillery platoons and 27 small steel guns immediately began to reload proficiently.

"5.4.3.2.1", the commanding soldier waved a small flag, "Fire!"

"Boom!. Boom! Boom!"

Dozens of shells whizzed out of the barrels and flew towards the city wall half a mile away.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Blossoms of orange fire bloomed on the city wall, shrapnel shot out, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Many Goryeo soldiers were blasted out of the crenel by the explosion, and fell from the city wall more than ten meters away. Wang Lidong inside and outside could faintly hear it.

Smack your lips.

There are fewer cannons, it feels sparse, not spectacular at all
"My lord, the tower has collapsed."

Wang Lidong looked at the tower and found that half of it had collapsed, "Where are the big fish?"

Buwei said: "Two purple robes fell under the city wall, and the bright yellow was hit by a bullet, and they were smashed to pieces."

After three rounds of volleys, looking at the results of the battle, several parts of the city walls have been blown out, but the holes are not very big.

I don't know who the builder and contractor of this city wall is, but the quality is definitely good.

"Three more salvos, free fire."

After the three rounds of volleys were over, there were many openings in the city wall, and two of the openings were already big enough to surpass people.

Wang Lidong frowned slightly.

The power of this small steel cannon is still a bit small, and it probably takes seven or eight rounds to blow down the city wall.

I looked at the soldiers on the city wall and found that there were not many left.

Wang Lidong pointed out, "Arrange a group of blasters and let the artillery battalion cover."

As the sound of the cannon sounded again, a blasting team composed of 1 people, wearing a few specially made aluminum alloy protective plates, rushed towards the gate of the city.

The king of Koryo didn't know what to think. He built the king's capital on a hillside [-] meters high, so unlike the cities of the Song Dynasty, they all had moats, which was convenient for the blasting team.

When they arrived at the city gate, the blasting team immediately used nine protective panels to build a temporary protective shed.

"There are Song people!"

"There are Song people here!"

The actions of the blasting team still alarmed the Goryeo soldiers on the city. Although they didn't know what the Song people were doing under the city gate, they thought it would be a good thing, so they all drew their bows and shot.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

A bunch of arrows hit the temporary protective shed, and Xiao Liu, who was digging a hole, sneered and said, "It's just a stick of broken arrows that want to shoot through our protective shield."

When they got the shield for the first time, they all thought it was fooling them.

It is lighter than a board made of wood.

But after pistols, rifles, grenades, and mortars fired twice, everyone really couldn't put it down.

Cannonballs can also make a dent!

Super life-saving weapon!

"Xiao Liu, hurry up and dig! This thing can protect against arrows, but it can't prevent gold juice."

Xiao Liu hurriedly glanced up, and the speed of his hand speeded up a little unconsciously.

"boom!"

A thunder rang out of nowhere, and the ground shook like lightning and flint. Wang Lidong, who was sitting drinking tea, felt his feet shaking. He put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the binoculars, and saw a black mushroom rising from the city gate.

"Fuck,"

These bastards planted too much explosives?

A few hundred catties of explosives would definitely not be able to create this scene. It is estimated that it would not be possible to achieve such a good effect without fifteen hundred catties!

Seeing that the city gate tower was blown up and disappeared, the skylight was opened directly.

Son of a bitch!
You can't do that even if you have money!

Just a moment ago, a large area of ​​houses within a radius of 200 meters near the city gate collapsed. Most of the thousands of Koryo soldiers hiding behind the city gate were blown into the air, and then various parts were mixed with stones and wood. Raindrops generally fall from the sky.

"Notify the First Guard Regiment, enter the city!"

"Report!" A messenger stumbled and ran into the Qinzheng Hall of the Koryo Palace, "Your Majesty, the city gate was blasted open with a loud noise, and the Song people have already entered the city!"

King Goryeo's legs went limp, and he fell down on the dragon chair. After a long while, he glanced at all the officials in the hall, "My loves, the Song people have already arrived at the imperial city, do you have a good plan?"

Most of the courtiers immediately lowered their heads a little more, and it was all like this, except for peace talks, there was nothing left but surrender.

The peace talks are epic difficulty!
Whoever dares to take the initiative to surrender to a foreign race will definitely be recorded in the history books, cast aside by future generations, and left behind forever!
I can't do whoever I love!
The King of Koryo looked around again, but it's a pity that none of the generals was an idiot who could sneak into the hall.

Hearing the increasingly clear sound of fighting outside the hall.
Park Jihui, the head of the palace, knelt down with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, this slave thinks that we should immediately send envoys to contact the people of Song Dynasty to negotiate a peace, otherwise it will drag on. If the people of Song Dynasty arrive at the hall, it will be time." I understand, when the time comes, there will be no chance for peace talks. In the face of swords and guns, the only option is to kneel
