Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

It wasn't until nightfall that his trusted confidant sneaked over and asked:

"Can we escape?"

Qian Cishan whispered, "If we can escape, let us be our inside men."

"What did you say?"

The trusted confidant said, "I'm telling you, you're just bragging."

"Not a close relative of Minister Qian,"

"They probably believed it."

Qian Cishan sneered: "I'll find an opportunity to visit the capital of the Jin Dynasty in the future."

"Make that damn bastard kneel down before me today!"

Qian Cishan is indeed Qian Chen's cousin.

Those who have just left the fifth generation of the family.

After the opening of Dengzhou Port,

No private merchant ships ever dared to do business in Goryeo.

So Qian Chen wrote a letter home.

Tell your brothers about this way to make money.

Neither brother was interested in being a maritime merchant.

So he told his cousins.

And they are willing to invest and become shareholders.

The two families jointly purchased a boat.

Shi Qian had always wanted to send spies to Goryeo.

There are no private sea merchants in the port of Ke Dengzhou.

Due to the series of great victories in the war against Kim last year

This year, finally some merchants have dared to do business in Korea.

The intelligence agents sent by Shi Qian

They chose Qian Cishan immediately.

He also wrote back to Beijing to inform Qian Chen.

This so-called trusted confidant

However, he was the head of the Goryeo intelligence station.

The next day, the guards were completely drunk.

Qian Cishan led a group of crew members,

They seized the opportunity to escape back to the ship and make a quick getaway.

And the messenger sent by Kim Bu-sik also arrived.

A middle-aged official bowed and knelt in worship:

"Your humble servant, Kim Bok, is honored to serve as the Palace Attendant Censor of the Goryeo Kingdom,"

"Greetings to the Prime Minister of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Wanyan Zonggan roared, "How dare you!"

"Submit to the Great Jin in exchange for the land of Baozhou,"

"Yet they rebelled and launched a surprise attack on their father's country!"

Chapter 3101 Goryeo Indemnity

Jin Fu said, "Your Excellency, regarding the matter of sending troops in rebellion,"

"This was done by the nobles of the Western Capital who misled His Majesty."

"But we, the nobles of Kaijing, have always been loyal to the Great Jin,"

"Even the news of our country sending troops,"

"We also sent people in advance to notify Dajin to take precautions."

Wanyan Zonggan was no longer angry upon hearing this:

"Did you write the letter?"

"Exactly,"

Jin Fu said,

"The nobles of Kaesong have always been loyal to the Jin Dynasty,"

"This time, the Xijing people who betrayed the Great Jin have been eliminated,"

"From then on, Goryeo people regarded the Great Jin Dynasty as their father country for generations."

Wanyan Zonggan asked, "Where is the king of Goryeo?"

Kim Bok replied, "His Majesty the King is still young."

"It requires the guidance of a great Confucian scholar,"

"I plan to devote myself to reading from now on."

"His Majesty has taken four more concubines,"

"They are all daughters of prominent families in Kaijing."

"Having a well-bred lady as a virtuous wife,"

"His Majesty will surely be more composed in the future,"

"We will never again wage war against our own country."

Wanyan Zonggan said, "Although you secretly informed us,"

"But it is true that Goryeo sent troops to rebel,"

"I have brought many soldiers with me."

"The people eat and the horses graze, and the provisions must be provided by Goryeo."

"Please give me a definite answer, Your Excellency," Jin Fu said.

Wanyan Zonggan made outrageous demands:

"One million shi of grain!"

Jin Fu said with difficulty, "Even if we were willing to give you this much grain,..."

"We can't raise the money right now."

Wanyan Zonggan said, "Give us 200,000 shi first."

"The remaining two hundred thousand shi per year,"

"If you don't agree, I'll keep fighting all the way to Kaizhou!"

"This humble subject...this humble subject is truly unable to make the decision,"

“We must go back and discuss this with the ministers,” Jin Fu said.

"Then you should go back and discuss it," Wanyan Zonggan said.

After Jin Fu left,

Wanyan Zonggan began a frenzied confiscation of property in Pyongyang.

This is Seogyeong, Goryeo.

It is the commercial center of Goryeo.

The alluvial plain of the lower reaches of the Daedong River,

It was also one of the main agricultural granaries of Goryeo.

The Jin dynasty was able to seize countless amounts of money and grain!

The Jurchens acquired their wealth and food through their own skill.

This does not include the military expenses for the reparations paid by Goryeo.

After another half month of procrastination,

Wanyan Zonggan had already looted most of it.

Jin Fu finally returned to negotiate.

The results of the negotiations between the two sides are as follows:

First, the King of Goryeo must submit a memorial.

Acknowledge your sins.

Secondly, Goryeo must pay Kim Il-sung 100 million shi of military rations in reparations.

The down payment this year is 15 shi (a unit of dry measure).

The remainder will be paid in installments over five years.

The annual output shall not be less than 20 shi (a unit of dry measure).

While the Goryeo ministers were procuring grain,

Wanyan Zonggan continued to plunder cities and villages along the Datong River.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Bohai people in the Baoding area,

They were forcibly relocated to Liaodong to replenish the population.

Li Xiaoxian, the garrison commander of Baoju in Goryeo,

He also led his army to surrender to the Jin Dynasty.

He was appointed garrison commander and prefect of Gaizhou—a city that had already been burned down by the Ming army.

Many of the people living in the suburbs were also taken away by Yelü Yudu.

Li Xiaoxian led the soldiers and civilians to fill in the blank land.

It lasted for more than a month.

Pyongyang and the lower reaches of the Taedong River,

The land was ravaged by Wanyan Zonggan, leaving countless people starving.

Meanwhile, the ministers of Gaegyeong in Goryeo...

They actually managed to plunder 15 shi of grain.

They politely escorted the Jin soldiers, who had committed numerous atrocities, out of the country.

Chapter 3102 Origins of Goryeo

The envoy sent by Goryeo to the Ming Dynasty

Then he knelt down and wailed in Kaifeng:

"Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty,"

"Our Goryeo has submitted to the Ming Dynasty,"

"We have already broken with the Jin Kingdom."

"His Majesty the Emperor personally led an expedition against the Jin Kingdom,"

"Unfortunately, they suffered heavy losses."

"Now the Jurchen barbarians are launching a large-scale invasion."
