Chapter 60 Goryeo's Rebellion in the Central Plains
On the ninth day of September, Yunzheng took advantage of the sudden illness and death of the actual ruler of Kaijing, Qing Dasheng. Sixty thousand troops came to the city and forced Mingzong of Goryeo to surrender in Kaicheng. After Qing Dasheng died, Mingzong no longer dared to fight, so he issued an edict
Kaicheng, personally went out of the city to kneel and present the imperial seal, the household registration of Goryeo, and the map as a sign of surrender. Goryeo's last 100,000 troops also left the city to surrender and accept the reorganization of Yingyang Guards.
The ninth day of September is the Double Ninth Festival. The name "Double Ninth Festival" was first recorded in the Three Kingdoms period. According to Cao Pi's "Nine Days and Zhong Yao Book": "As the years go by, September 9th and September suddenly return to the yang number.
The sun and moon coincide with each other, and the customs praise its name, thinking that it will last for a long time, so it is used to enjoy banquets and high gatherings."
First of all, the Double Ninth Festival has the custom of equal heights. In the golden month of September, the sky is high and the air is crisp. In this season, climbing high and looking far away can achieve the purpose of feeling relaxed and happy. The purpose of fitness and disease relief is related to climbing. There is the custom of eating Double Ninth Cake. "Gao" and "cake"
Homophonic, as a festival food, it was first used to celebrate the harvest of autumn grains and enjoy the taste of new grains. Later, the folks began to have the auspicious meaning of climbing high to eat cakes, and to climb higher step by step.
Yun Zheng felt that today's omen was very good. The Double Ninth Festival climbed high, and the whole country of Goryeo knelt down. What he, Marshal Yun, had climbed was the highest in the country. Only a few could reach it throughout the ages.
During the Goryeo Dynasty, Yun Zheng unceremoniously sat down on the throne that originally belonged to the King of Goryeo. Facing the rare sad eyes among the Goryeo courtiers, he chuckled: "The title of King of Goryeo has always been to me, the Chinese."
Your royal title, which was given by the Heavenly Dynasty, was left to the barbarians on the border. Of course, if Wang Ke enters China, he will be demoted three levels in a row...and this prince is the hereditary prince of the Wei Dynasty. As far as you are concerned,
, I should be the Lord, it will be an honor for you to sit in this position."
Regardless of whether everyone is convinced or not, they can only pretend to be convinced at this time, saying "yes" repeatedly.
However, one man came out angrily, pointed at Yun Zheng and cursed: "It is in vain that you claim to be the prince of the Kingdom of Heaven and that you are from a famous family, yet you send troops to Korea without any reason, kill my people, kill my generals, and hold my king hostage, and you still preach
To save my people of Korea from fire and water, but now to steal the throne, could it be that I rely on my land of Korea to split the earth and become the king??"
Everyone was shocked, and all the officials of Goryeo immediately shouted at this person. The King of Goryeo quickly stood up and cursed in a panic: "Wen Keqian, in the past I...the king of Japan was not kind to you in the past, why did you say something to frame me?"
King? Why don't you retreat quickly!" He then turned to Yunzheng and knelt down and kowtowed: "Young Commander, please calm down, this man... I'm afraid this man has lost his mind and gone crazy!"
Yunzheng waved his hand leisurely, stood up, and walked around: "You are Wen Keqian, right? Although I am far away in Yanjing, I have heard of your name. But when I saw you today, you are not as well-known as meeting you...
If you don’t even know what great loyalty and righteousness are, what great benevolence and great filial piety are, it’s useless to be called a wise minister of Goryeo, let alone a great Confucian.”
Wen Keqian's neck stiffened: "Is it true that what you, Yun Tanhua, did today are extremely loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Of course, what I have done is great loyalty and righteousness. Benevolence and filial piety, whether it is for me, the Wei Dynasty, or for Goryeo, my actions can all be called 'great loyalty'."
"The name of great justice, great benevolence and great filial piety"
"Absurd!" Wen Keqian was so angry that his fingers trembled.
"You don't believe it? Well, today in front of all the civil and military officials of Goryeo, I will give you a lesson, so that you, the great scholar here, know what the true way of Confucianism is," Yun Zheng said proudly
"Really? I need to ask for advice!" Wen Keqian snorted coldly.
Yunzheng walked leisurely and said: "You ask yourself to be loyal to your king, so you think you are loyal. However, since your king is the king, how can the leader of the people be a leader? Let the people of the world have food when they are hungry and clothing when they are cold.
, have a house to live in, and provide for the widowed, widowed, lonely, disabled, and sick. If you do not have one, you will not have fulfilled your responsibilities as a leader, you will not be a ruler, and you will not be able to enjoy the loyalty of your subjects! Therefore, it is said: He who has the greatest loyalty is not a loyal king, nor is he loyal.
Sheji is not loyal to heaven and earth, but in today's Loyal People's View of Korea, the king does not think of all the people in the world, and the ministers do not think of all the people of the world. The king is not like the king, and the ministers are not like the ministers. How can anyone be worthy of the word "loyalty"?
?”
"Righteousness and brotherhood are among all the people in the world. Who is not a brother and sister with us? Five hundred years ago, five thousand years ago, who dared to say that we are not one family? Therefore, all people in the world are brothers, regardless of high or low.
, no matter whether they are superior or inferior, we should treat them as brothers. This is the righteousness of the world."
"A benevolent person loves all people, but there are many things in the world and there are many reasons for war, so those who fight are unkind? That's wrong! We must look at the reason for fighting. If the reason for fighting is only because of power, only because of wealth, only because of beautiful women,
If the reason for fighting is to save the people from water and fire, and to relieve the people from danger, then it is a war of great benevolence."
"Those who are filial, those who love their teachers, and those who are respectful and respectful, why do you stand in the court hall instead of plowing the fields, working at sunrise and resting at sundown? Because the people are raising their children, you are the people.
Waiting for your parents to treat the people harshly is like scolding your mother, and attacking the people with a knife is like killing your father! If you don't respect the people, what is filial piety?"
Cold sweat broke out on Wen Keqian's forehead. Although he was a great scholar from Goryeo, how could Yun Zheng know about the ideas of later generations that promoted "civil rights" to the top? After Yun Zheng said this, he really had nothing to argue with.
Yun Zheng looked around at the crowd and said proudly: "That's why Zheng said: Only those who have all their thoughts tied to the people are the most loyal and righteous, the most benevolent and the most filial - Wen Keqian, are you convinced?"
Wen Keqian let out a long sigh, knelt down and kowtowed: "Keqian... I bow down."
Yunzheng nodded: "Well, I think Keqian is also a person who cares about the difficulties of people's livelihood. Please get up."
Wen Keqian kowtowed three more times before standing up in panic.
Yun Zheng looked around at the crowd again and said loudly: "You don't know why our Ying Yang Wei came far away to fight. Let me tell you, the people of Goryeo, that even though the descendants of Qi Zi have been independent for a long time, they are also part of our Chinese side."
Goryeo was in trouble, how could China not save it? Therefore, the political situation in Goryeo was turbulent and the people were in hardship. As a young commander of the Yun family, facing Goryeo across the sea, how could I just sit back and watch when my brothers were in trouble? So I gathered my army and came to conquer from afar.
I am not looking forward to the land of Goryeo, nor the people of Goryeo, but I am hoping that the country of Goryeo will be peaceful and the people will be safe.”
"Starting from today, all the armies that have been reorganized by our Northern Territory will have a garrison; all the people who are under my temporary leadership in the Northern Territory will have food and clothing; therefore, all ministers who are under the leadership of our Northern Territory will be loyal, righteous, and benevolent.
A filial minister is also..."
Goryeo ministers, you looked at me, I looked at you, and for a moment I was really a little bit stunned. Let’s not say whether the previous two statements can be fulfilled. Even if they can, it means that as long as they are loyal to the northern border, they are loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial? This principle sounds reasonable.
Why does it sound a little weird? ... However, I still listened to this truth for now. Even if I become a second minister, I will be a loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial second minister. It is better than arguing with Marshal Yun now.
I may not have to argue with Marshal Yun, but my death may be inevitable...
A group of Goryeo ministers all knelt down, including the King of Goryeo, but no one spoke.
Yunzheng frowned and said softly "Huh?"
The King of Goryeo sighed secretly and took the lead: "I am willing to listen to Marshal Yun's orders."
The other Goryeo ministers breathed a sigh of relief and said in unison: "I am willing to listen to Marshal Yun's orders! -"
Only then did Yun Zheng laugh: "Okay, okay, this is the best" and then said: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival. According to my Chinese etiquette, today I should climb high to admire the chrysanthemums... King of Korea, is there anything to climb high?
?”
"Yes, yes, if Marshal Yun wants to go, I will be the only one to go with him," the King of Goryeo said cautiously.
Yun Zheng chuckled: "Okay, then let's go up and admire the chrysanthemums. By the way, we have to discuss some things, right?" The King of Goryeo said hurriedly: "Just follow the Young Marshal's orders."
Yunzheng smiled, walked down the hall calmly, and went out.
---------------------------------------- Life is easy, but it is hard to grow old. Every year, the Double Ninth Festival
, it’s Double Ninth Festival again, and the yellow flowers on the battlefield are especially fragrant
Once a year, the autumn wind is strong, not like the spring scenery, but better than the spring scenery. The vast river and sky are covered with frost.
Yunzheng casually wrote this poem "Picking Mulberries; Double Ninth Festival" on the tower. He didn't feel that plagiarizing the poems of great people should make him blush.
As soon as this word was brought out, it naturally attracted bursts of applause. Then one by one they chewed on the word and began to think and analyze the origin of each word. As if not doing so was not enough to show that they understood the word, Yunzheng just smiled faintly.
This made Goryeo officials feel that Yun Tanhua was indeed a great talent. We had analyzed it so thoroughly, but he was still not satisfied. What allusions were there that we hadn't remembered?... Damn it.
, how many books has Yun Tanhua read?
Yun Zheng felt funny in his heart. In this era, Chinese is the "Esperanto". At least in Greater China, the level of Chinese language circulation is extremely high. The Korean people, especially these Korean civil servants, may have better Chinese proficiency than many scholars in the Wei Dynasty.
It's not even higher than this one... Just think about it slowly. I'm sorry to tell you that even I, the young marshal, don't know what allusions the great man used when he wrote this poem.
The chrysanthemums in Korea are blooming pretty well, but in the eyes of Yunzheng, a typical Han nationalist, they still feel that the flowers are not as beautiful as those in Yanjing or Luoyang - of course, the most popular ones in Yanjing are plum blossoms, while the most popular ones in Luoyang are peonies.
Yunzheng was admiring the flowers, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced slightly and saw Ning Pengxuan walking over hastily. He gave him a look, and Ning Pengxuan slowed down and pretended that nothing happened.
Yunzheng suddenly said: "Is there a place to rest here?"
The King of Goryeo hurriedly looked at the ministers around him, and one of them hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, young marshal, please go this way."
Yunzheng arrived at a clean room and asked the others to continue admiring the flowers outside, but called Ning Pengxuan in, frowned and asked: "What's going on in such a hurry??"
Ning Pengxuan looked grave, took out an urgent letter and handed it to Yun Zheng
When Yunzheng took it into his hand and looked at it, his expression changed. It was Qiyun's urgent order!
After opening it, I realized that the letter was written by my father, Commander Yunlan: "The Qinglong Sect has rebelled and gathered 600,000 people to capture half of Zhejiang. Hangzhou will probably fall within the month."
Yunzheng's face was extremely solemn, the Qinglong Sect had indeed rebelled!
The two-hundred-year-old Wei Dynasty may have its foundation shaken this time. Yun Zheng didn't know what it felt like. It was said that the affairs of the Qinglong Sect were the result of his connivance. But as a later person, he knew it very clearly.
, as long as the Wei Dynasty's policy of ruling the prosperous areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang remains unchanged, even if he reports to the court to nip the Qinglong Sect in the bud before it is ready, there will inevitably be the emergence of the Yellow Dragon Sect and the Red Dragon Sect.
The root cause lies in the imperial court and in the fact that it is useless for the ruling class to just restrict the people below, just like housing prices in later generations. No matter how restrictive the country is, no matter whether it is restricting developers or current real estate speculators, it is actually a headache and a headache.
Treating the symptoms, not the root cause, is impossible to truly control without solving the bank loan scheme and the local government's land sales financial situation. Even if you control it for three days or two, it will inevitably rebound and bigger problems will inevitably arise.
In everything, we must look past the surface and go straight to the essence in order to find the real solution.
As soon as the new laws were passed in various parts of the South, three consecutive rebellions occurred one after another. Why? It was simply a problem with the policies. Officials used the new policies to try every means to benefit themselves, without caring about the lives of the people under their rule.
No matter how good the purpose of the New Deal is and how wonderful the ideal is, it can only lead to the people to rise up and rebel.
The common people are the simplest. They don’t care how lofty your ideals are or how good your wishes are. They only care about whether they can afford to eat, wear clothes, see a doctor, or live in a house. If they can’t afford it, then I’m sorry, you can’t scream again.
All your high-sounding words are useless, I won’t play with you
Now that the Qinglong Sect is making such a fuss, I guess I won’t be able to go back. It’s a pity... The Jurchens and Liao Kingdom haven’t drained all the blood of each other yet. Now that the Qinglong Sect is making such a big fuss, they must be obedient. Six hundred thousand
Everyone, the religious people are very crazy about this kind of cult-like sect uprising. It’s hard to say whether the government and army can resist it when the time comes. The imperial court originally sent troops to support the suppression of the Pakistani bandits in Hunan. Now it seems that
Not only are they unable to send reinforcements here, it is estimated that the Central Army in Henan and Shandong will go south to quell the rebellion. Wanchang... is in trouble.
If the Central Army fights with the rebels, no matter whether they win or lose, their vitality will definitely be damaged. Originally, this was indeed a good opportunity for the Yun family to continue to expand their power. Unfortunately, the Liao Kingdom can still hold on. It seems that because of the support of the Yun family, the Liao Kingdom
The country still has some upper hand. Yunzheng is actually quite puzzled about this. After thinking about it, he can only blame this historical error. It seems that the existence of Comrade Xiao Tianzuo has a great influence on the Liao Kingdom. Wanyan Aguda can't handle it...
But it’s okay, the Liao Kingdom suppressed the Jurchens. This was also one of Yunzheng’s plans. Not only did they have to suppress the Jurchens, but also Mongolia. At least until the musketeers were successfully equipped in large quantities, the Liao Kingdom must hold on... Hehe
The trouble is that the Liao Kingdom has spare power, and the Yun family has to be on guard. Although the Yun family now has new equipment, the manufacturing speed is still a bit slow. I am afraid it will take two years before the entire Yun family army can change its equipment.
In one year, I can probably only replace Yan Yunwei again...
How to strengthen the security relationship with the Liao Kingdom? Selling that dance... Yunzheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of an idea that would kill two birds with one stone, but it was actually a bit dangerous and whimsical!
----------------------------------------Ahhhhh, writing until almost early in the morning again
It's four o'clock, and I am now the legendary "as tired as a dog" - but this metaphor is very strange. Is a dog tired? Damn, is a dog as tired as me!!!
