The emperor of Goguryeo was naturally not a blind man as Liu Hongji thought.
However, as a country established since BC, Goguryeo has been inherited for more than 600 years!
This time span has exceeded too many Central Plains dynasties!
Throughout history, for the Central Plains, there are very few dynasties that can survive the three hundred years mark! Therefore, many people regard three hundred years as the limit of a dynasty.
And there is actually a reason why there is a curse that the life span of a dynasty is three hundred years.
Because after the dynasty is established, the forces including the royal family, aristocratic families, officials, etc. will expand bit by bit over time and occupy the resources of this society bit by bit.
When these huge forces take up almost all the benefits in this society and the living space of ordinary people is completely squeezed to death.
People who feel that they cannot survive will naturally throw down their hoes, pick up steel knives, and start a vigorous battle to destroy the world at the call of someone!
After a few years, the new forces completely defeated the old forces, the population decreased, and then all the interests were redistributed, and a new dynasty was established again.
Then new aristocratic families, new royal families, and new officials appear, continuing this cycle of reincarnation. ??
And this reincarnation happens to be three hundred years!
Just imagine, in just three hundred years, a country that was so powerful that it made the whole world tremble could decline into a decaying tree.
Goguryeo, which has been around for 600 years, how weak should it be?
If Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty hadn't had the dream of being one emperor for eternity and led his troops to attack boldly, forcing the whole country of Goguryeo to unite to fight the enemy, I am afraid that it itself would suddenly fall apart one day!
Moreover, Emperor Sui Yang’s contribution to Goguryeo didn’t stop there!
Defeated three times!
The Sui Dynasty left too much food, grass and baggage on this land, as well as countless civilian prisoners of war!
Perhaps, to Goguryeo, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was not like an invader, but like a boy who gave away wealth. He provided them with a large amount of materials and countless labor forces, making them rich like a poor man.
We have indeed lived some prosperous days.
Even after more than ten years passed, the legacy left to Goguryeo by the Sui Dynasty has still not been digested!
Among other things, in the past few years, Li Yuan was grateful for the Han soldiers who died in Goguryeo because of the attack on Goguryeo, so he wrote a letter to Gao Jianwu and agreed to escort the Han people who were in Goguryeo for some reason back to his country.
So Gao Jianwu searched for all the exiled Han people who stayed here, handed them over to the relevant officials, and escorted them back to the Tang Dynasty as guests. There were actually 10,000 people before and after!
From the three conquests of Goguryeo to Li Yuan's search for people, more than ten years have passed.
You know, sticks were worse than animals to those Han prisoners, and they were beaten to death at every turn!
At this time, there were still 10,000 Han people alive in Goguryeo. It can be seen that those who were left here at the beginning were probably not less than 100,000.
The Gao Jianwu mentioned here is the current emperor of Goguryeo. Coincidentally, he ascended the throne in the same year as Li Yuan.
Of course, compared with the wily and scheming Li Yuan, the Goguryeo emperor had mediocre qualifications and nothing outstanding in politics or military affairs.
#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode!
However, this may also be because no matter who sits in his position, he will appear mediocre!
After all, Goguryeo at this time was already on the verge of collapse. Even with the forced blood transfusions of the Sui Dynasty, it only gave it a few more breaths.
Under Gao Jianwu's command, countless aristocratic families were intertwined, and all the people in the court were children of these aristocratic families!
For example, the head of the Pu family, where Dong Gua is located, accounts for nearly one-third of the official power of the entire court. To put it bluntly, a word from the head of the Pu family may be more effective than an imperial edict issued by Gao Jianwu!
In addition to well-established families like the Pu family, there are also powerful warlords like Yuan Taizuo in the court!
Perhaps when it comes to Yuan Taizu, many people will feel unfamiliar, but his son, Yuan Gaesumun, is a well-known figure in history!
This guy was a ruthless man who killed the king Gao Jianwu, seized power and usurped the throne, and led his troops to resist Li Shimin several times. Even until Li Shimin died, he still failed to completely conquer Goguryeo!
There is such a ruthless person next to you, so I ask you, are you afraid of Gao Jianwu?
Therefore, under the constraints of so many forces, the power of the imperial court, represented by Gao Jianwu, had become extremely weak in Goguryeo.
In today's Goryeo, if you want to be an official and have power, you do not rely on the court or your own abilities, but on the family behind you, the soldiers in your hands, and the money you have!
Perhaps this is also the root cause of the current collapse of order in Goguryeo.
Whoever has a few men and two ships dares to be shameless and plunder everywhere!
Anyway, if you grab it, it's yours! And if you get into trouble, you can't bear it alone. Goguryeo is not dead yet, so let the emperor have a headache!
On a turtle ship.
In the end, Donggua opened the wooden box, but the ending still made Xiao Han a little disappointed.
Although the treasures here are better than those found in the warehouse, they still cannot be discerned by Xiao Han and others. It can be seen that these sticks are really nothing good.
Just these three flat and four out of round beads, gold and silver with rough craftsmanship, and gray rings, how dare you hide them in a secret room?
I'm afraid that even if Lei Huti sneaks over, he can come up with something better than this.
However, when I think about it, I feel relieved.
After all, what Yin Zaixing and the others looted were ordinary Baekje towns. Maybe they were not even cities, but just a few villages.
Finding so many things in those places is enough to testify to their hard work.
Therefore, in order not to make others feel cold, Xiao Han decided to aggrieve himself and reluctantly collected all these things...
After taking in these two ships, the sailors Xiao Han had originally prepared immediately seemed a little stretched.
He did not dare to use these newly captured Goguryeo people casually, for fear of causing trouble and ruining his plan, so after careful consideration, he could only anchor the two empty ships and leave them here to see if he could bring them back when he came back.
Return together.
I just hope that these two ships will not encounter any storms or pirates when they are at sea. After all, Xiao Han, who has fallen into the eyes of money, still wants to get these two ships back. How much money can he sell them for?
After doing all this, the turtle ship set out again. Calculating the time, it was only less than two hours from here to Bisha City.
Those Xuanjia Army soldiers who woke up on the ship did not need to go to sleep anymore. They put on their equipment and waited quietly for the upcoming battle. Naturally, the emperor of Goguryeo was not as blind as Liu Hongji thought.
However, as a country established since BC, Goguryeo has been inherited for more than 600 years!
