Chapter 2182 History of the Peninsula·Speaking of Linyi
When the Annan Kingdom was in raging war due to the "Wenwan Rebellion", the surrounding countries were paying close attention, especially the Linyi Kingdom next door. Its king Liu Jirong even recruited an army of 30,000 troops and established it in Pingzhou in the north.
To the north of Binhzhou is Huazhou in Annan State, which is an important town in southern Annam. Da Nang is located. It is a place with a long history and a very developed political economy. It is a ranked city in the entire Indo-China Peninsula.
Liu Jirong's move was nominally to prepare the rebels for the southward movement, and when the war in Nghe An was tense, Liu Jirong also specially sent an envoy to go north to Jiaozhi by water to deliver his autographed letter.
In the letter, Liu Jirong "sincerely" expressed his deep concern for the "Wenwan Rebellion" and stated that he had prepared troops and could send troops north at any time to help put down the rebellion if things went wrong.
Liu Jirong's letter naturally attracted the attention of the Jiaozhi court. To be precise, it should be fear and precaution. Not to mention the reactions of the distinguished ministers, Liu Jidan himself was extremely vigilant.
For this clan brother in the south (Liu Jirong is the eldest son of the late king Liu Wenyan of Linyi, born in the eighth year of Yongxi, 6 years older than Liu Jidan), Liu Jidan dislikes him very much. He has no choice. Liu Jirong has a strong character, likes to conquer, and is ambitious
exuberant.
When Empress Dowager Liu was still in the regency, Liu Jidan, who first came into power, was invited by Liu Jirong to go south to attend the meeting. The two parties gathered in Da Nang for three days to coordinate and discuss exchanges between the two countries.
At that party, Liu Jidan was suppressed throughout the whole process and his image was ugly. Although some conflicts and disputes on the border and trade between the two countries were resolved, Liu Jidan was very disappointed. Since then, Liu Jidan has never accepted Liu Jirong's invitation to have any national exchanges.
If the matter arises, we can only send special envoys to discuss and deal with it.
Therefore, when the country was in civil strife, when he received such a letter from Liu Jirong, he did not need to be reminded by others. Liu Jidan showed his rare wisdom and pointed out that this clan brother had ulterior motives and had no good intentions.
Liu Jidan originally wanted to ignore Liu Jirong's opinion, but after some persuasion from Princess Anping Liu Ying, he still sent an envoy to reply, which was dignified.
Liu Jidan also asked Annan's bachelor to write a reply. The letter first affirmed and thanked Liu Jirong for his concern and kindness, and recalled the blood-related relationship between the two countries. Finally, while emphasizing the vassal system, he expressed the Wenwan Rebellion.
Annan still has the power to defeat him, but if it fails, he will not save his face and not ask for reinforcements from the troops of his brother countries, and so on.
While replying to the letter, the Jiaozhi court sent an urgent order to Shun and Huazhou in the south, asking the local officials and soldiers to be more vigilant and guard against death. However, this time, in addition to guarding against the evil rebels in the north, the focus was
It should be placed in the country of brothers in the south.
Therefore, before the decisive battle of Huanzhou, Lin Yiguo's actions actually reduced the pressure on the Wen and Wan rebels. Faced with Jiaozhi's reply, Liu Jirong could not only ridicule Liu Jidan for being such a coward.
Apart from such a polite reply, there was no more action.
Liu Jirong is indeed ambitious, but it does not mean that he is brainless and reckless. It is not difficult to raise troops out of Pingzhou and cross the border between the two countries. What is difficult is the pressure that he and Lin Yi will bear after taking that step.
To a certain extent, this nature is more serious than the rebellion in Annan!
Therefore, Liu Jirong chose to continue to wait and see, looking forward to further changes in the chaos in Annan, but his expectations were in vain. As the Battle of Huanzhou ended and the two princes fled west in embarrassment, Liu Jirong knew that there was no chance.
We could only order the troops to withdraw southward and leave the border between the two countries after expressing regret. However, the assembled troops did not disband. Instead, after a large-scale transfer by sea and river, they were transferred to the Tonle Sap Lake area.
There, Liu Jirong gathered 40,000 infantry and cavalry (the cavalry was divided into horse and elephant soldiers) and marched westward, targeting the remnants of Zhenla who had abandoned the old capital and moved westward.
The Zhenla Kingdom in the second year of Zhengtong has completely collapsed under the continuous attacks of three generations of Linyi kings for decades. The important symbol is that in the eighteenth year of Jianlong (1035), Liu Jirong led the northern expedition to Zhenla. Annihilate its last "central army", destroy its capital, destroy its country, barbarize its monarchs and ministers, and completely realize the conquest and occupation of the Tonle Sap Lake area.
Linyi has been a country for 54 years since Shizu enfeoffed it, and it has been passed down to Liu Jirong for three generations. As the ninth son of Shizu, Liu Shu, an absurd nobleman who often committed crimes in his youth, was the founder of Linyi State, who opened and consolidated it. The national destiny of Linyi Kingdom.
From the beginning of the feudal state, only a few states occupied the city and old areas. By the time of his death, he had occupied all the central and southern Vietnam and the vast area south of the Tonle Sap Lake in the original time and space. Although many people know that Linyi State can have such great development. Mainly due to the military conquests of the crown prince Liu Wenyan and the general Liu Gong, but without Liu Shu's good use and full support, how could these two achieve such great achievements.
Liu Shu reigned on the throne of Linyi for thirty-five years, until the fifth year of Jianlong (1022), when he passed away, and died in the Han Dynasty at the age of 67. He died without any illness.
However, since the Tokyo vassal conference in the third year of Jianlong, Liu Shu has not returned south, but has been staying in Tokyo to receive blessings, the place where he grew up. In the twilight of his life, the generous Duke of Chu and King Linyi also Local love broke out, and Emperor Sejong agreed to Liu Shu's stay.
When Liu Shu passed away, the eldest son Liu Wenyan, who had actually taken control of Linyi's military affairs, ascended to the throne without any setbacks and ushered in a new era for Linyi. At that time, Liu Wenyan was already forty-five years old.
Liu Shu left a rich family fortune to Liu Wenyan. The Han Yi population was more than 1.5 million. In addition to the prosperous coastal plains and ports, there was also a preliminary developed Mekong River delta plain, and it penetrated into the mature developed areas. Tonle Sap Lake area.
In fact, under Liu Gong's advice in the early years, and after Liu Wenyan and Liu Gong's successive attacks and plunders, Zhenla Kingdom was already in ruins. After all, even the capital was no longer safe and suffered repeated attacks from Linyi's cavalry. The rule of Tonle Sap Lake is even more shaky.
At the beginning of Liu Wenyan's succession to the throne, he actually had the ability to move north on a large scale, attack the central court of Chenla in one fell swoop, and achieve all the occupation of the fertile plains in the southeastern part of the peninsula.
However, due to the disharmony between the emperor and his ministers, an internal turmoil in Linyi was triggered, and this opportunity was missed. Specifically speaking, it was Liu Wenyan and Liu Gong, who were like military gods in Linyi. The prestige within the army even surpassed Liu Wenyan for a time.
The contrast between the two has lasted for more than 20 years. In the past, Liu Shu had reconciled, but when Liu Wenyan became king, the conflict inevitably broke out.
