Although the Battle of Helandian more than ten years ago ended in the failure of Goryeo, which eventually led to the unification of Jurchen society and created conditions for the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, it does not mean that Goryeo has always been a failure in that war. .

It was a six-year tug-of-war.

The most glorious stage of Goryeo was ten years ago. Yin led an army of 170,000, with a number of 200,000. He launched a full-scale attack on Helandian in five directions from land and water. Because of the sudden attack, the Jurchens were not prepared and their chief was lured and killed, so he became even more passive. He killed more than 6,000 Jurchen troops, captured more than 1,000 people, and captured more than 130 villages. The next year, Goryeo built nine cities in this area, Yingzhou, Xiongzhou, Fuzhou, Jizhou, Gongjun Town, Tongtai Town, Chongning Town, and Zhenyang Town. A large area was moved northward in the northeast border of Goryeo.

At that time, Wu Yanchong was Yin's deputy marshal.

Although it is called Deputy Marshal, the actual situation is that many battles in that battle were fought under the leadership of Wu Yanchong.

However, like the Song Dynasty, Goryeo also valued literature over military affairs.

To what extent has it reached the point of emphasis on culture and over military affairs?

Military officials are far lower in terms of rank and treatment than civil officials.

Although Tian Shichaike stipulates that soldiers can get military land, in fact, this kind of land distribution is rarely carried out. Even if the land that has been distributed is sometimes taken back and redistributed as a field. Military households have to go on wartime and still have to serve labor and their status is not much better than those who have borne low-court servants. Some have to escape from military service, leave their hometowns and become tenants or slaves.

In fact, after this, Goryeo respects culture and light military personnel became more serious. Jin Fushi's son Jin Dun-chung used a candle to burn the beard of a martial official named Zheng Zhongfu. Han Lai actually dared to slap General Li Shaoying in the face.

Later, the rebellion of the military ministers was aroused. At that time, Zheng Zhongfu, Li Yifang, Li Gao and others escorted Yizong to tour the Samantabhadra Academy outside Kaicheng, took the opportunity to incite mutiny and called on the execution of all those wearing civil servants. Many civil officials such as Kim Dun-jung and Han Lai were killed. The military officials later deposed Gao Li Yizong and made his younger brother Gao Li Mingzong succeed to the throne. Three years later, Jin Fudao supported Gao Li Yizong's failure to restore the reign. Before his death, he confessed that all civil officials participated in the premeditation, which led to the killing of a large number of civil officials who survived.

That period was definitely a nightmare for the Korean civil servants.

But then again, if they hadn't forced the military officials so hard, they would never have fallen into such a field.

In fact, Goryeo had already shown signs of this aspect a long time ago, and even some official positions that were supposed to be held by military officials were actually controlled by civil officials.

For example, the position of marshal in the Battle of Helandian should have been the military minister Wu Yanchong, but he was appointed as the civil minister Yin to suppress Wu Yanchong. As a result, everyone knows Yin, but he is known to him, Wu Yanchong.

For example, the position of marshal who attacked Danluo County this time should be held by Wu Yanchong, the most experienced veteran general of Goryeo. As a result, the civil officials jumped up and down and even pressed a regular marshal on Wu Yanchong's head, namely, the Hanlin Bachelor's Zhizhizhizhi.

Zheng Zhichang was the top scholar in the liberal arts and the first generation. He was bold and open-minded by nature, good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, proficient in Yixue, Buddhist scriptures, and loved the idea of ​​Laozi and Zhuangzi, who was naturally open-minded and transcendent, and transcendent.

Such people are naturally fine to write poetry, painting, and calligraphy. When fighting, isn’t this a joke.

But such an appointment really formed a fact, and Zheng Zhichang also came to work in a decent suit of armor.

Wu Yanchong, who is nearly 60 years old this year, is really sad for Goryeo. The party struggle has reached the point where he regards national war as a joke. Even if you send a civil servant to serve as the marshal, you will also send a civil servant like Han Anren who knows the importance and responsibility. What are the young men who like Laos and Zhuangzi who are born to do? Are you chanting scriptures in the war?

But Li Ziqian and his relatives didn't give Han Anren and his chance to make a royal family a chance to stand out, so they even threw this pie to the two classes in Xijing. Zheng Zhichang made an impassioned speech to the country at the best time, but he found such a big pie.

Faced with this situation, veteran Wu Yanchong had no choice.

First of all, Goryeo respects civil and military officials, and military officials have no right to speak in Goryeo.

Secondly, in the late stage of the Battle of Helandian, the Jurchens sent Seyot, who could conquer the war, to lead troops to Helandian to rescue the crisis. The Jurchen army led by Seyot and the Goryeo army fought for more than a year in Helandian. Although they had victory or defeat, the Goryeo army suffered more than defeat, and consumed a lot of money. The Goryeo's transportation lines and communication networks often plundered the Jurchen army that set up ambush. In a critical battle, Goryeo sent him to lead his army to rescue Jizhou. He was blocked by the Jurchen army near Gongqingling, and then the entire army was defeated. The soldiers were thrown into armor and scattered. The city was trapped, and countless casualties were killed or injured. Since then, the Goryeo army was unable to bear the battle again and could only ask for peace. He became a sinner of Goryeo and was beaten to the end. In this case, it was not easy for him to have the opportunity to lead troops. How could he dare to say more?

In fact, the reason why the Goryeo court sent Zheng Zhichang to serve as the marshal like a child's joke was because they had a clear idea:

First, the civil servant Zheng Zhichang was sent to serve as the chief marshal but did not want to break the rules of respecting civil and military affairs. It was not really for Zheng Zhichang to lead his army to fight. Of course, there were many wars in the war, Wu Yanpeng, the veteran general.

In other words, they sent Zheng Zhichang, a great poet and painter, to ask him to come and find inspiration. It is best to write a few famous poems that can be passed down through the ages or draw a few paintings that can be passed down through the ages.

Secondly, the whole Goryeo agreed that this time, the Japanese in Danluo County must be smashed with the force of Mount Tai, so that they will never dare to peek at the territory of Da Goryeo again.

Based on this strategic goal, they sent out all the main forces of the Beijing Army, the left and right guards and Xingwei guards, and protected the total of seventeen leaders and eight leaders with courage.

In addition, twenty leaders and five leaders were sent to protect the victory.

Plus seven thousand navy troops.

To convert it directly into numbers, there are 29,000 infantry soldiers, 11,000 horse soldiers, and 7,000 navy soldiers.

In addition, Wu Yanchong asked another 10,000 slaves to serve as civil servants.

Total: Goryeo sent a total of 57,000 people to the war this time.

There are probably not so many adult men in Danluo County who are added together.

Third, Goryeo, from the top to the top, concludes that there will not be too many Japanese troops in Danluo County, and it should not exceed ten thousand.

Their inference is based on this. Danluo County has about 100,000 citizens, and it is already a lot to draw one for 20 soldiers. No matter how many, it is impossible to afford Danluo County.

If the militia ratio is really more than 20 to 1, then it will inevitably transport food, supplies from Japan to Danluo County.

Although Tanluo County is not far from Japan, it will definitely be a heavy burden to ensure this amount of transportation, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Japan temporarily increases its troops.

In order to prevent Japan from temporarily increasing its troops, under Wu Yanchong's suggestion, Zheng Zhichang and Wu Yanchong mobilized civilian ships near Kaijing in the shortest time, and then led nearly 60,000 troops to kill Danluo County...
