Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The beginning of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is roughly equivalent to more than the August of the later generations of the Gregorian calendar. In this era, it has entered the early autumn! The Yanyun area is already a bit cold.

Above the Bohai Sea, the wind and waves are fierce, and several large ships are heading towards Yanyun.

On the leading ship, two men are standing on the bow.

One of the men is over sixty years old, but his eyes are still very bright, his body is very tall, and the whole person actually gives a feeling of mighty power.

The other was only in his thirties, and his body was a little thin. He stood behind the man in his sixties.

Both of them wore extremely gorgeous robes and tall hats on their heads, which is the typical dress of the Koreans.

"Li Rui, you have ever met the emperor of the Han people. What kind of person is this emperor?" the man in his sixties asked.

"The emperor of the Han is very young, he seems to be less than twenty years old! He is very kind to people. We saw him in Liaoyang that day. General Jin Changsheng provoked him constantly. He was not angry. He seemed to be a very kind person. Weak people.” This man in his 30s was the same Li Rui from Korea who went to meet Zhao Chen that day.

The 60-year-old elder next to him is the deputy chief of Korea, An Putin! This time it was An Pulin who went to China as an envoy to Korea!

"The Han people were almost annihilated by Jurchen in the past, but later they were able to defeat Jurchen and occupy the north. It can be seen that they are not easy! The emperor of the Han cannot be just a gentle and weak person." An Pulin shook his head and said.

"The Han army is really powerful! In the past six months, we have experienced dozens of battles with the Han army, and we have all failed! Especially when we were in Jinzhou City, our army of 100,000 was not their opponent of 10,000! Lord An , I always think we should withdraw from Liaodong! The Han army is so strong, it is too dangerous for us to stay in Liaodong!" Li Rui said.

"The strength of the Han Chinese is indeed beyond expectations! I am also a little surprised. Since Jurchen killed Liao, we Koreans have also felt the crisis. Over the years, our Korean army has also been continuously training. I have seen our army, which is considered to be true. An elite army, why not the opponent of the Han?" An Pulin said.

"Our army has never experienced warfare. It is just a little ostentatious! The Han's army is a southern expedition. The army of the king of Jiangnan, the army of Xixia, and the army of Jurchen were all defeated by them. The weaker soldiers have all died. In the battle, the rest are elite soldiers! Our Goryeo army is certainly not their opponent." Li Rui said.

"The Han army is so powerful, why don't you take the initiative to attack?" An Pulin said fiercely.

"This... the officials don't know." Li Rui said.

The waves were so big that An Pulin's body was splashed with sea water, and he was thinking carefully.

"Just now you said that the Han emperor was young, gentle, and weak. It is very likely that he was emptied by the Minister of the Central Government and the army! The people in the army wanted Emperor Xuanwu to continue to feel threatened, so that Emperor Xuanwu had to continue to rely on the military. The status of the army will always be very high! Therefore, the Song army will not attack us now, but will allow us to exist, and even make us stronger and stronger!" An Pulin said fiercely.

"My lord has some truth to what he said." Li Rui was taken aback and nodded.

"Yes! It should be like this! The emperor of the Han is just a stinky kid who is less than twenty years old. He can't control the army at all! Presumably the battle report of the Liaodong battlefield has not reached the city of Yanjing!" An Pu Lin said.

"But, no matter what, the strength of the Song Army far exceeds ours. Once the Song Army general's thinking changes, we will be over!" Li Rui said.

"I have seven million people in Korea, and an army of 500,000! We have not encountered wars, the domestic economy and trade is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment! Our army will gradually become elite! Over time, we can truly fight The Han people have contended!" An Pulin said.

"I hope so." Li Rui whispered.

"I heard that the Han people built a Tianjin Guardian east of Yanjing. Let's go to this Tianjin Guardian first to take a look." An Pulin smiled.

In the afternoon, several large Korean ships came to the sea where Tianjin Wei was located. An Pulin and Li Rui had already entered the cabin to rest, but they were called out at this moment.

"Have you reached the shore?" An Pulin yawned and said.

"Lord Deputy Chief, look quickly!" A Korean attendant pointed to the front and said in a shocked tone.

"What's so interesting? Tianjin Wei has just been built for two years, a dilapidated wharf..." An Pulin said with disdain.

But as he spoke, his voice stopped, his eyes widened and he showed an incredible expression.

On the sea ahead, I don't know how many ships are heading towards Tianjin Wei in the west.

There are sea ships everywhere on the sea. There are all kinds of sea ships, some of them are very tall and tall, and some of them look very small! Some are sailboats, and some are manpowered boats! There are people standing on the bows of all kinds of ships, and some of the crew members have begun to move the cargo out of the cabin!

"How many sea ships should there be? Hundreds, a thousand, or even more?" Li Rui was also shocked at the moment.

There are ships heading towards Tianjin Wei, and there are ships leaving from Tianjin Wei! Some of these ships are heading east, some are heading south, and some are heading north. A scene of busy maritime trade is shown in front of An Pulin and Li Rui.

Goryeo also has a wharf, especially the capital of Goryeo Kaikyo is a seaside city, but there is no such prosperous wharf in Goryeo as a whole.

"Is this Tianjin Wei? Isn't it just built less than two years ago? Why is it so prosperous? Also, didn't the Central Plains just encounter war and the people are not living, there are still people here to do business?" An Pulin said in disbelief.

In fact, Tianjin Wei is not only trade on the sea, but also trade on the Yellow River. The mouth of the Yellow River in the Song Dynasty was near Tianjin. Famous Song cities such as Kaifeng Mansion and Daming Mansion were all connected by the Yellow River transportation, all the way to Tianjin, and then from Tianjin to Yanjing City, which can be said to be connected to the entire Central Plains.

An Pulin looked uncertain. Not long after a small boat from Tianjin Wei Customs came to inspect the ship, he heard that they were Korean envoys, so he led them to the pier.

"Master Li, let's go to Tianjin Wei for a round!" An Pulin said.

"Good!" Li Rui nodded.

Tianjin Wei Customs arranged a place to rest for them, but the two of them headed out with a few guards.

The entire city construction of Tianjin Wei is still very crude. There are not many local residents here, they are all businessmen! It can be said that two-thirds of Tianjin Wei's area are shops, and countless people trade among them!

They are dressed as Koreans, but no one on the street finds it strange, and no one looks at them more! Because there are also Korean merchants in Tianjin Weizhong, and there are a lot of them.

In addition to Korean merchants, there are Dongying people, Annan people, some Southeast Asians with dark skin, and some people with yellow hair and blue eyes.

Businessmen are everywhere bargaining and arguing, and countless materials and resources are constantly being transported here.

A restaurant appeared in front. An Pulin and Li Rui were a little hungry after getting off the boat. Who knew they had entered the restaurant but found that it was already full of people!

"The two are objective, there is really no seat! But there is only one person on the table over there, do you want to sit with him? I will give you a 20% discount for the meal!" A little second smiled and said.

An Pulin snorted coldly, but nodded.

There was only a young man in his twenties sitting on the table over there. This young man was very handsome and dressed in Confucian clothes. After Xiao Er said a few words in the past, the young man nodded.

An Pulin and Li Rui just sat down here.

"You two, Tianjin Wei is the most prosperous. However, all restaurants in Tianjin Wei are full of seats, so there are often guests and officials crowded together." The young man arched his hands first, and then smiled.

"Little brother, please!" Li Rui also arched his hands and smiled.

"Doesn't the two of you look like they are here to do business?" the young man said.

"It's true that we are going to Yanjing City, just passing by Tianjin Wei." Li Rui said.

"This is a coincidence. I also went to Yanjing, but the ship stopped at Tianjin Wei." The young man laughed.

"Oh? What do the little brothers go to Yanjing? Do you study abroad?" Li Rui said.

"That's not! Look at the appearance of the two of them, they seem to be members of officialdom, are you officials from Korea?" The young man looked at them carefully for a while and said.

"Ah!" Both An Pulin and Li Rui were taken aback, An Pulin said solemnly, "How do you know?"

The young man laughed and said, "Only people in officialdom have your aura and are different."

An Pulin nodded and said, "It's okay to tell you, I'm waiting for the Korean messenger, going to meet the Emperor Song Dynasty."

"Are you going to write a letter to the Emperor? To be honest, you should have done this a long time ago! I came out six months ago and went all the way through Sichuan, Shu and Jiangnan before I came here. Song and Jurchen fought and robbed several cities in Liaodong. At that time, I was surprised! I was even more unbelievable to hear that you were unwilling to declare to the Song emperor! Now, you are going to declare to the Song emperor and give up the city of Liaodong. Goryeo can guarantee peace! Da Song is the world's most powerful country. I waited for the Si Yi to respect Da Song as the co-lord, and it is not shameful to claim courtiers to Da Song." The young man laughed.

"So you are not from Song Dynasty?" An Pulin asked in surprise.

"Yes, the children of the Duan family in Xia Dali were also ordered by the emperor to come to see the Emperor of Song Dynasty and submit the letter of credence." The young man said.
