Chapter 688 The Great Voyage ([-])

Republic 470 Seventh Year Summer (687)
Goguryeo Royal Castle (Ulyutorsky District)
"It's time to migrate again, let's go and find the real paradise!"

The 67-year-old King Gao Baobao of Goguryeo stood on the city wall, looking at the Yan Kingdom warships on the sea in the distance, and sighed helplessly.

When he was 20 years old, he led his people to migrate here. In the following 40 years, he led his people to capture brown bears and black bears, build fishing grounds, domesticate elk, develop fur weaving, and capture the surrounding aborigines as slaves.

Due to the cold climate here, it snows almost one-third of the time every year. Therefore, the main source of food for the people here is fishing, followed by hunting, and finally picking wild fruits and farming.

Everything here is covered with ice and snow, so horses can only roam in the city. In the wild, tamed elk have to be used to pull the sleigh.

The favorite clothes of Goguryeo people are bear fur clothes, which are very warm.

"Where are we going?"

Gao Qiqiang, the grandson of Gao Baobao asked.

"A place farther away, far away from the Yan people." Gao Baozang replied kindly. He has two grandsons, one named Gao Qiqiang and the other named Gao Qisheng, whom he loves very much.

Gao Qiqiang is only 16 years old this year, and Gao Qisheng is only [-] years old this year, which is the stage of youth and vitality.

"Why do you want to migrate? Fight with them!"

"This is our home, we can't give up!"

The two brothers wanted to defend their homeland, but...

"The tribesmen under the age of 40 will all migrate to farther places to preserve the fire of our civilization. The tribesmen over the age of 40 will stay with me to hold back the Yan people and delay the migration of the tribesmen."

At a time when civilization is in danger, Gao Baobao has to sacrifice some of his tribesmen to save other more valuable tribesmen.

"If we are going to migrate, why don't we all move together and sacrifice some of them? Is this fair to those who sacrifice?"

The little princess Gao Chengxin sternly stopped her.

She is Gao Baobao's youngest daughter, who just turned 24 this year. She is also the aunt of the Gao brothers.

"The people of Yan State will not show mercy to us. If no one stops the people of Yan State, all the people will be killed by Yan State!"

"For the survival of civilization, we have no choice!"

King Gao Baobao shook his head. He didn't want all the people to survive, but the problem was that this was unrealistic.

"Is this why, Father, you want to sacrifice those innocent tribesmen? In your eyes, tribesmen over 40 years old are worthless tribesmen? Are you so cold-blooded?"

Princess Gao Chengxin was still arguing: "Either we all migrate together, or we all stay and defend our homeland. Why should we sacrifice some of our clan members?"

"That's enough!" Gao Baobao finally couldn't help but angrily yelled at his favorite daughter: "You don't understand anything! Qiqiang, Qisheng, you two take good care of your aunt, don't let her run around and talk nonsense anymore."

"Okay." The two Gao brothers nodded in agreement.

When the Goguryeo royal family was still quarreling, the warships of the Yan Kingdom would not stop.

The warships of the Yan Kingdom are now divided into three types.

One is [Bird Battleship/Fire Attack Battleship], one is [Genshin Impact Battleship/Catapult Battleship], and the other is [King Battleship/Artillery Battleship].

The Bird battleship is not equipped with any equipment to reduce the load, making the battleship more flexible and faster, and can conduct surprise fire attacks on enemy fleets.

The Genshin Warship is a previously built warship that has not yet been retired. It uses catapults for long-range attacks.

The artillery warship is the latest equipment of Yan State this year. In the entire republic, only Yan State has one artillery warship, and this artillery warship has only two bronze cannons in total, one on each side.

In addition to artillery battleships, the equipment rate of snake pole matchlock guns is also getting higher and higher. Now, three levels of soldiers in the Yan army are equipped with snake pole matchlock guns.

Not only are muskets developing, but the technology of plate armor forging is also developing. The cost of forging continues to decrease. In the past, only nobles could afford to wear plate armor. Now, ordinary generals and senior officers can also afford to wear plate armor.The middle and lower-level officers still wear a layer of armor and a layer of chain mail, while ordinary soldiers only wear a layer of armor.

As far as the armor rate is concerned, the armor rate of the Republic Army has reached [-]%.

boom!
boom!
The Genshin warships and artillery warships were roaring, and the walls of the Goguryeo Royal City could not withstand it.

The Goguryeo people took advantage of the opportunity before the city wall was breached, and quickly got into the nearby snow-capped mountains and forests. They took the elk sleigh, led the horses, black bears, and brown bears, brought food and clothing, and left the new land they had finally cultivated. home.

They will go further east to find a paradise far away from the Yan Kingdom.

"Joy Koryo, let's go to the national crisis together, yell Koryo, restore our country. Blood will not be shed, and death will never stop! There is Koryo in the north, the sun is rising, and the country has been hated for a hundred years. Gao Lirui, who will fight for the front!"

Goguryeo people/Koreo people, holding hands, singing about suffering, overcoming difficulties together, and embarking on a long journey hand in hand.

noon the next day

The walls of the Goguryeo Royal City finally collapsed. Thousands of Goguryeo old men held spears in their hands and their eyes were full of anger.

"Fighting is not afraid of death, Goryeo is awesome!"

Yan Ling/Wan Yan Ling spoke highly of these Goguryeo people, and then ordered: "Kill them all! Leave no one behind!"

Bang bang bang!
shhhhhh!
Muskets and crossbows shot at the Goguryeo people at the same time, and the Goguryeo people fell down in a big way soon.

However, they did not break up, and they were still stuck in the gap where the city wall collapsed, shouting loudly in Goguryeo language:

"Goguryeo people will never be slaves!"

"Goguryeo people can only die standing up, not kneeling down!"

Looking at these Goguryeo people who are not afraid of death, the soldiers of Yan State seem to see their ancestors decades ago.

Decades ago, when the Central Plains invaded Liaodong, their grandparents and fathers were also so fearless, throwing their heads and shedding blood, and finally drove the invaders out of Liaodong.

Nowadays, time has passed and the Yan State, which once resisted invasion, has begun to invade others.

Some veterans had experienced that era, and they could not take action against the brave Goguryeo people in front of them, because they saw their former selves and the former Queen Yan in Goguryeo.

The veterans could not take action, but the recruits would not worry so much. They mercilessly launched a bloody massacre against these brave Goguryeo people who were not afraid of death.

The war ended soon. The Yan army occupied the royal city of Goguryeo and renamed it [Liugui City]. At the same time, they established the [Liugui Protectorate] in Liugui City. All the indigenous tribes in the land of ice and fire must surrender to the Liugui Protectorate. Pay tribute to Liugui City.

-

The backward and ignorant Goguryeo people were stuck in their own ways and were unwilling to open the door to the country and absorb and learn from the great and advanced civilization on which the sun never sets.

The sun never sets on the democratic, free, kind and moral empire. In order to save these ignorant Goguryeo barbarians, it sent a fleet to spread more advanced civilization to them and help them with their Yanization/Chineseization.

The Goguryeo people should be grateful to the empire on which the sun never sets. It is the empire on which the sun never sets that brought them more advanced civilization, system, and production technology.

Those Goguryeo people who fought stubbornly in the war are all anti-intellectual mobs!They are all Boxers!Their ignorance will only destroy themselves! ——"General History of the World·Song Dynasty·Qin Hui"

……

The resistance struggle of every nation is deplorable, and the aggression of every nation against other nations is a heinous crime.

I praise the war in which the sun never sets against the invasion of the Tang Empire, and at the same time criticize the war in which the sun never sets against the invasion of Goguryeo.

Someone asked me, Li Qingzhao, are you on the side of the Empire on which the sun never sets or which side are you on?
In this regard, I just want to say that I only stand on the side of justice. ——"General History of the World·Song Dynasty·Li Qingzhao"
