Chapter 1226 Interview (3)

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the peninsula has been going on for hundreds of years.

Roughly taking the Han River as the dividing line, Goguryeo is in the north, and Baekje and Silla tribes are in the south.

I want to mention here that the Han River is a large river that almost runs through the peninsula. Goguryeo called it Ali River at this time, Baekje called it Yuli River, and Silla called Nihe. These names still have to be revised by Li Po.

....

Even though the place is small, several companies have been making trouble for a long time.

In fact, one or two hundred years ago, except for Goguryeo, there was no other systematic state power on the peninsula. They all existed in the form of tribal alliances.

This was the case in Silla. It was not until more than two hundred years ago that Goguryeo formed a tribal alliance with the Jin family as the core and established the country. Where they came from is actually impossible to verify.

They can be said to be natives of the peninsula, descendants of the Zhou people, or the Qin and Han people are their ancestors, it all depends on which theory they prefer.

For the Central Plains dynasties, they often paid no attention to them, and there was no benefit to being their ancestors. On the contrary, it would be a joke if their unworthy descendants came back to bite you.

Baekje is similar to this. Before that, there was Gaya, which was annexed by Silla. Obviously Silla was not as innocent as Jin Shengman said.

Goguryeo, which annexed Liaodong, was undoubtedly a behemoth to Silla and Baekje, so Silla and Baekje have always united to fight against Goguryeo.

Goguryeo also had the ambition to dominate the peninsula and coveted the plains in the south.

However, after repeated expeditions, they lost more than they won. They didn't have much to do against the tribes in the south. Due to environmental constraints, the methods they used in Liaodong were not very effective.

On the contrary, these indigenous tribes in the south climbed mountains and waded as if they were walking on flat ground, and repeatedly gave the Goguryeo invaders head-on blows. So Goguryeo reluctantly changed its attitude. As long as Silla and Baekje tribes could maintain their superficial respect, that would be fine.

.

The separation and reunification of the Three Kingdoms, as well as the entanglement of grievances and grudges, have a long history.

When the Japanese invaded Silla, the King of Silla asked for help from Goguryeo. The King of Goguryeo sent tens of thousands of troops to help the Silla people defeat the Japanese. The Silla people were grateful at that time, and their relationship with Goguryeo suddenly entered the honeymoon period.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Goguryeo once again sent troops to invade the south. The Silla people turned around and formed an alliance with the Baekje savages whom they had always despised, and once again cut off the Goguryeo people's claws extending to the south.

When the Silla people established a complete official system and the national power gradually became stronger, they were not polite.

Especially during the reign of King Jinheung of Silla, the Silla people reached a peak period. They not only annexed the Gaya tribes, but also occupied the southeastern coastal areas of Goguryeo.

In addition, they held down Baekje and beat them up, bringing the entire Han River Basin into their arms. Even the king of Baekje was killed, and the alliance between Silla and Baekje broke up.

King Zhenheung was so powerful that he even erected monuments everywhere to record his achievements, which was a great show off.

But after the death of King Jinheung, Goguryeo and Baekje immediately settled their accounts and beat Silla to pieces. Not only did it lose a large area of ​​land, but the situation continued to worsen.

If Baekje was not afraid of the power of Goguryeo and wisely reiterated its alliance with Silla, and the Goguryeo people suffered heavy losses during the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Liaodong, it is estimated that Silla would have fallen.

But precisely because Goguryeo weakened, the alliance between Silla and Baekje became fragile again. When Queen Deokseon came to the throne, envoys from Goguryeo and Baekje went to Jincheng to congratulate her.

The envoys on both sides were very rude, and the Goguryeo people put forward the conditions for summoning the well-known Silla princess Kim Seungman into the palace as their concubine.

Baekje simply shouted that the Silla people had killed their king. If they didn't give an explanation, they would send troops into Jincheng and destroy the Jin family.

This is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the peninsula.

When Queen Shan of New Rhodes came to the throne, she faced such a dangerous situation. She sent people to the Central Plains twice, both to find a backer to solve her own predicament.

Generally speaking, in one sentence, King Jinheung had been playing tricks for several years, leaving a lot of debts, and almost pushed the Jin family to a desperate situation.

.....................

When it comes to Jin Shengman's words, it goes without saying that the rhetoric must be directed towards him. Silla has become a victim, and both Goguryeo and Baekje have become hateful.

She had already said these remarks to Queen Li Bi, and now Li Po didn't think there was anything new about them.

But the situation on the peninsula sounds interesting, and people's thinking is also very strange.

Needless to say, the Goguryeo people grinned like a chameleon before Sui, and even made big jokes like Liaodong's dung ministers.

The relationship with the Turks is also not good, and they are in debt. On the peninsula, they are always being stabbed by Silla and Baekje. Fortunately, they can still be so arrogant. Maybe there is something wrong with the feng shui on the peninsula.

Or maybe the island countries are like this, but no matter how many losses they suffer, I am very confident.

I have always regarded myself as a person.

Baekje actually has a similar character. Their upper-class nobles are all from Buyeo. It was a country affiliated with Goguryeo formed by merging with local tribes when the Buyeo people went south. It is equivalent to the rebels of Goguryeo.

In Jin Shengman's words, these Baekje people are very barbaric. Even after the founding of the country, they still adhere to tribal customs, do not practice etiquette, and have no sense of shame. They even retain customs such as blood sacrifices, wives and guests, and men and women live together indefinitely.

Many customs on the grasslands have been preserved. For example, after the death of a father, a son follows his mother. No wonder the Silla people look down on them. The Silla people are still relatively highly civilized on the peninsula.

In fact, the Baekje people were also influenced by the civilization of the Central Plains. They carried out many reforms over the past few hundred years. The division of counties and counties and the customization of official positions were similar to those of Silla.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, he also requested to join the Northern Wei Dynasty in attacking Goguryeo. Separated by a sea, Baekje and the Central Plains also had a tight connection that has never been severed.

.....................

In the Tai Chi Hall, Jin Shengman briefly talked about the situation on the peninsula. What Li Po wanted to know most was their attitude towards the Goguryeo and Baekje people.

There is a huge difference between an enemy and a half-enemy, half-friend.

After a short conversation, the result was quite satisfying.

The girl's thoughts were very clear. She expressed her hatred for the Goguryeo people and her disgust for the Baekje people. Regardless of whether she understood what Li Po wanted to hear, she was speaking the right words anyway.

The last sentence is very crucial, "I, Jin Shengman, the daughter of King Gewen of Silla and the sister of Queen Seondeok, request His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to take pity on the suffering of the people of Silla and send troops to save me.

I assure you that showing kindness to us will not result in betrayal, and the descendants of the Silla people will always be the subjects of the Tang Dynasty and the vassals of the Tang Dynasty."
