Chapter 456 Haidong Manager

Liu Ziyu tightened his fur coat and walked on the pier of Busan Port.

As the commander-in-chief of the sea troops in the offensive against Jin, the current Haidong General Manager has no objection to his position now. The only thing he is worried about is how to better complete this task - breaking the Jin people's retreat.

From the Huntong River, which is the entrance to the Heilongjiang River in later generations, he captured the Nuergan City there, and then went south to the Yangtze River and could fight all the way to the Wanyan family's nest.

Whether it is the Huanglong Mansion that Prince Yue has been obsessed with in history, or the Five Kingdoms City where Zhao Ji and his son were imprisoned, they are all along the Huntong River.

When the main force of the Song army launched a fierce attack from land to the northeast, even if the Jin people were defeated, they would gather their main forces to come to fight. This gave Liu Ziyu a great opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The departure port of the Song army of the water route was set in Busan.

This place is much more suitable than Hokkien, because it is backed by Goryeo, many of the military supplies required can be purchased locally from Goryeo.

At this time, the Port of Busan was biting cold and snowy. The silvery white had completely covered the entire port. But even with such a climate, in the Busan Port area on the east bank of the Luodong River, a large group of Goryeo Minzhuang were still driven to build wharfs, warehouses and highways. Because Goryeo and Zhao Song had a good relationship, Busan Port was one of the main trading ports for Goryeo. Here are not only the military and civilians of the Song Dynasty, but also many merchants from both countries.

Because everyone is optimistic about the future of Busan Port, they come to buy land, settle down, and do business. Moreover, Zhao Song did not have any restrictions on the trade in Busan Port, and there are many Korean governments and aristocratic families mixed in it.

But this also promotes the development of Busan Port, right?

With the advent of winter, the Song army, which had already established a foothold in the Hokkien land, drove to Busan Port to spend the winter one after another. Although Busan Port is the base camp, the role of the Hokkien land is also very prominent. It is much closer to the sea estuary of the Huntong River than Busan.

As early as when the construction of Busan, Jeju, Sado and other places began, the Song army also landed in the Hokkien land. Instead of relying on force, they only used cloth, porcelain, silk and a small amount of iron to exchange three rented land from the Hokkien land, roughly the three places in later generations, Hakodate, Sapporo and Yamane.

The wharf and warehouse were built there, and it was used as a logistics transfer station for sea troops after the war began in the future.

Otherwise, from Busan to the mouth of the Huntong River, the straight line distance is four or five thousand miles away.

These include Sado Island, these are the transit stations for this long maritime transportation line.

The Song army gathered in Busan, and the troops there quickly increased from the thousand troops in Benchu ​​to five thousand. But the eyes of these five thousand people were really only staring at the north. No one below Liu Ziyu planned to attack Goryeo.

But the Goryeo people don’t think so, especially the Goryeo King Wang Kai who had just killed his grandfather for two years. The local prefecture, and even the entire Guangqingdao, as well as the surrounding officials and families of Jeolla and Yang Guangdao, were all eyeing Busan.

They would not completely believe Zhao Song's promise. When they saw Song troops gathering in Busan, they would be like a great enemy to consolidate their troops and practice martial arts, while spying on the news inside through merchants. The officials also asked people to send many pigs and sheep to the Song army to comfort them to find out the scenery.

Liu Ziyu didn't care whether the Goryeo people believed it or not. He felt that even if the Goryeo people were brave enough, it would not be possible to take the initiative to start a war with Zhao Song at this time. Since that is the case, then what can the Goryeo people do if they are nervous about themselves?

But Liu Ziyu's actions made the Goryeo even more frightened. More than one suspects that the Song army had some plans, otherwise why would it be so calm?

As a result, the troops of Guangqingdao, Yang Guangdao and Jeollaodao were continuously increased. In just two or three months, Wang Kai recruited 40,000 to 50,000 troops from the south.

Liu Ziyu didn't care at all.

Now, he was only thinking about the war after the beginning of spring, and the problem of the war.

It is a fundamentally unique thing in the history of war in all dynasties.

Liu Ziyu is now setting a precedent in history and completing an unprecedented thing. Can he not rack his brains and try his best?

Unfortunately, even Goryeo has a limited understanding of Jurchen geography and has no idea about the geographical terrain of the area north of the Huntong River.

The place in Goryeo is quite close to the Jurchens. Even when the Khitans were the bosses, the Changbai Mountain tribe in the northern part of Goryeo and the Yalu River tribe in the west (I would like to remind you that the vast area on the east bank of the Yalu River at this time was not great), and the Hesu Pavilion tribe in the Liaodong Peninsula in the southwest was all Jurchens.

The Jurchens also divided the Jurchens and the Jurchens, such as the Yalu River tribe and the Hosu Pavilion tribe. These are all Jurchens who have been semi-assimilated by the Khitan. They are very different from the Wanyan Jurchens in the Mixed River Basin and the Changbai Mountain tribe in the Tumen River Basin.

Even though the Goryeo people had certain contacts with the Jurchens of Changbai Mountain, they still had no idea about the geographical terrain of the Huntong River.

Therefore, all Liu Ziyu can do is lay a solid foundation for his advancement.

Whether it is military training or material supply, including the civilians and heroes, he must do his best. Because only by maintaining the best posture can he face the "unknown" challenge?

Therefore, Wang Kai had mobilized 40,000 to 50,000 troops to Guangqing Road and others, even if he had transferred all the troops at hand, Liu Ziyu would not have seen it even if he had seen it.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Liu Ziyu stopped and looked at the soldiers who had already started training on the school ground not far away, and his eyes were filled with joy.

There are only a few 5,000 Song troops in Busan, but the spirit of these Song troops is really different from that of the Song troops led by Liu Ziyu before. It can even be said without hesitation that except for the same military uniforms, the current Song troops and the past Song troops are no longer the same.

As a general who came over the battlefield, who would like to lead a group of bad soldiers? Liu Ziyu was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about his current soldiers, even though these soldiers had been under his command for a while.

After all, Song and Jin will start a fight soon. Whether Liu Ziyu can achieve success depends on whether these soldiers are powerful.

"The chief supervisor, the Goryeo people sent a message that the pigs and sheep had already left the city and could be delivered to Busan at the latest afternoon." A clerk ran over to tell Liu Ziyu.

"Tsk, it's time to arrive. It's all about Goryeo, who are self-righteous idiots." The first priority in marching and fighting, Liu Ziyu's army is an army that is responsible for extremely important tasks, and its food and treatment is better than that of the troops on land.
