Chapter 925 Wanyan Aguda: I want the orthodoxy of Zhao and Song to be in the Kingdom of Jin...
Opening in Beijing.
In the former Goryeo Palace, Wanyan Aguda was dressed simply and was concentrating on reading.
Familiar footsteps reached his ears, and Wanyan Loushi walked in: "Du Bojilie, the rice grains used by the Yan army to support Goryeo have been collected, which is enough for my tribe to last for a year..."
This general, who was ranked first among the first-generation Jurchens with so many fierce generals, made a heartfelt sigh: "Every bag of rice grain has a big character 'Yan' printed on it. Today's Goryeo survivors cannot recognize other Chinese characters."
, but they all recognize this word!”
Wanyan Agu put down the book and raised his head: "For the Great Yan, a Yanyun land can produce so much food, but for us Jurchens, it is enough rice for the entire clan to survive."
Wanyan Loushi licked her lips: "That land called the Central Plains is so rich. I really want to see it with my own eyes!"
There was also light in Wanyan Aguda's eyes, but for the time being it was not a greedy coveting, but a careful examination: "Those Yan army prisoners must be taken care of, and must not be abused. They must negotiate with the Yan state and recognize our clan's status.
Prepare for the founding of the Jin Kingdom!"
The Jurchens' initial plan was not to defeat the Lianshui Army, but to negotiate with Yan Ting to allow the three major naval forces to retreat by capturing key personnel alive.
As a result, the medicine provided by Goryeo was not enough. Ruan Family Dalang and Ruan Xiaosi woke up midway. Seeing that they were captured and wanted to implicate the navy, their blood boiled up and they decided to commit suicide when there was no hope of escape.
As a result, a blood feud had been forged, and Wanyan Aguda immediately changed his tactics, setting up an ambush to lure the enemy, and giving the Lianshui army a head-on attack.
Now that we have won the war, we still have to treat the prisoners preferentially, which is not easy to do.
Not to mention the consistent violence of the Jurchen warriors, just talk about the troubles the Yan army has caused them in recent years, and the Jurchen tribes are gnashing their teeth.
The Jurchens attacked Goryeo by breaking through the border, wiping out the active forces, and then went straight to the royal capital. With the help of the remaining forces of the former Xianzong, they invaded the city. Suzong was killed, the crown prince disappeared, ministers died, and surrendered.
Goryeo was destroyed.
The whole process was thunderous, incredibly fast, and the losses were very slight. If Suzong hadn't brought out a group of Wuxiang Taoist soldiers, the number of casualties would probably not have exceeded 100. It was truly an overwhelming victory.
However, after the glorious war of annihilation, they fell into the quagmire of successive rule. Especially after the Yan army arrived and sent food and weapons, the enthusiasm of the Korean people for resistance suddenly increased. The Jurchens were busy fighting rebellions everywhere, and the casualties began to rise.
.
Until now, the number of Jurchens killed and injured in the counter-rebellion process has long exceeded a thousand, far more than the battle to destroy the country. Naturally, they hate the Yan Army's moral aid. Now that they have captured the Lianshui Army soldiers alive, how can they be treated well?
But Wanyan Loushi agreed without hesitation: "The King of Yan and the Emperor of Liao are both monarchs of large countries. They value face. Before conquering the Liao Kingdom, we cannot establish two great enemies at the same time. Please rest assured, Du Bojilie, we will be strict."
Military discipline, don’t let the clan members vent their personal anger and cause bad things!”
Wanyan Aguda nodded happily, then saw another person walking in, and also smiled and said: "Second brother has always taught us that if our Jurchen clan wants to grow stronger, we must not just rely on fighting, but also learn to rule!"
The speaker was none other than Wanyan Husai, the sixth brother of Wanyan Aguda. Compared with when he conquered the royal city of Goryeo, he seemed much more mature, but his clothes were still simple. There was a heartfelt emotion in his tone: "After taking over Goryeo,
We just discovered that it is easy to fight but difficult to rule!"
Wanyan Aguda asked the two of them to sit down and raised the scroll in his hand: "Look, what is this?"
The two of them looked at it: "Are these books from the Southern Dynasties found in the Goryeo library?"
Wanyan Aguda said: "This is the "Zizhi Tongjian". I asked the officials of Goryeo that the King of Goryeo asked the emperor of the Song Dynasty for this set of books, but the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not give it to them. The emperor of the Song Dynasty said
This is 'In view of the past, I am qualified to govern'. It is a book about learning how to govern, so naturally it cannot be passed on to others!"
"However, the people of the Song Dynasty did not pay attention to intelligence. The Koreans spent a lot of money to steal many volumes, transported them back to the country, and secretly hid them in the palace library."
"Unfortunately, it was first written in Korean and then translated into Khitan. I couldn't understand many parts, but I still learned a lot..."
Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Hesai stared at the volume with solemn expressions.
Their method of knowledge transmission is very rudimentary. It is passed down orally from their elders. In addition, they have learned it through the eyes and ears since they were young. They have a desire and even awe for books. But thinking that such books related to rule can be recorded,
To outsiders, it's incredible.
Wanyan Aguda thought more comprehensively: "If our clan wants to rise, we must have our own writing. We can't just use Khitan script, but we must also have our own books and scholars."
"But that is what happened after establishing a strong country. What we have to do now is to learn the ruling methods of the Khitan and Han people and start to practice them from the Koryo people."
Wanyan Loushi smiled and said: "This is a good idea. To train wild beasts, we should start from the simplest. Once we tame the Koreans, we can tame the Khitans and Han people in the future!"
Speaking of beast taming, Wanyan Husai frowned, and suddenly thought of the news from the Jurchen ancestral land yesterday, saying that there were inexplicably many wild beasts around, lingering around, and not launching an attack, which was very strange.
In order to prevent the deviant tactics such as the Wuxiang Taoist soldiers, the shamanistic priests were dispatched, and the group of wild beasts never appeared again.
The Jurchen ruling class never regards anything as a trivial matter and must pay certain attention to it, but now they are considering the big issue of slavery and rule. Wanyan Osai just had a thought and did not speak immediately, preparing for the next step.
Let's discuss it with my brother.
Wanyan Aguda had already continued: "Yes, the ruling method we originally adopted was wrong. Xianzong was poisoned by Suzong a long time ago, and the influence of this lineage is minimal."
"The Koryo people's hatred for us completely overwhelms their recognition of the descendants of Xianzong, and rebellion will continue one after another. If we want to truly rule Koryo, we must change this situation!"
Wanyan Loushi said: "Now it has changed. The rebels have surrendered to us and severely attacked the Yan army. Not only has Goryeo been stigmatized as ungrateful, but it has also made other rebels distrust each other. They have become a piece of loose sand and are nothing to worry about."
"And the Yan army suffered a defeat and suffered heavy losses, so they will definitely not provide assistance again. The Korean people should be sad to lose this external assistance!"
Wanyan Aguda shook his head slightly: "The resistance forces in various places are originally scattered. Once there is a clear leader and the resistance forces gather together again, the situation will be different."
Wanyan Osai was puzzled: "Both the King of Goryeo and the Crown Prince are dead. We have also killed all the other royal families. The influence of those remote clans is not as powerful as the descendants of Xianzong. How can there be leaders?"
Wanyan Aguda said in a solemn voice: "No, the King of Goryeo is dead, but the body of the Crown Prince has not been found yet. I am very worried that at this critical moment, this Crown Prince will cause trouble!"
Wanyan Wo's track: "During the war, it is difficult to find corpses. The country has been subjugated for so long. If the crown prince was not dead, he should have appeared long ago. Is the second brother too worried?"
Wanyan Aguda waved his hand: "If our clan's rule is stable and the prince of the previous dynasty has not appeared, there will be no threat. However, our clan's rule is short-lived and unstable. This person is a serious problem.
Try your best to find it!”
"Those Koreans who have taken refuge in our tribe do not want the crown prince to be alive. They must cooperate with our tribe's warriors to find him without any slack!"
The two of them responded to the order in a hurry: "Yes!"
Wanyan Agu sighed inwardly.
The reason why it is so difficult to rule Goryeo and the ruling class is walking on thin ice is that the Jurchens lack prestige and heritage. Let alone the Han people in the Central Plains, even if the Khitans were to rule Goryeo, they would not be what they are today.
situation.
So he was even more determined to make amends with Yan and Liao, and then established the Jurchens' own country, the Kingdom of Jin!
Justifiably replace Goryeo and bring this territory under your rule!
The current alliance partner chosen is Yan State.
Back then, the Jurchens sent envoys, but they were kicked out by Yan Yun, saying that they were not a country at all and were not qualified to participate in the ceremony of establishing a king.
Wanyan Aguda felt ashamed, but he accepted it, because there was nothing wrong with this statement. But now that the Jurchens had occupied Goryeo, even the Liao Kingdom had given three points of courtesy, and they had defeated the power of the Lianshui Army, everything was different again.
It hurts you, so you should talk to me properly. I will give in one more step to give you face. This is the beginning of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. This can be seen clearly from the Chanyuan Alliance of Song and Liao.
So the Jurchens have already sent another envoy, landing in Laizhou by water, and then all the way to Yanjing. I believe they will be there soon.
However, Wanyan Aguda also learned from the books he had read recently that he should not blindly follow one experience, so he had to be prepared: "Will the Han people in Goryeo elect them?"
Wan Yanwei: "Most of the Han people in Goryeo live in Fujian, and they have three major surnames: Lin, Lu and Zhang."
Many people in Fujian are engaged in maritime trade. Historically, in the Goryeo Dynasty, there was a Han citizen named Lin who was an official, and he came from Fujian Road.
Later, Goryeo and the Song Dynasty re-established diplomatic relations. It was also after Zhang Dun came to power that there were mostly Fujian officials in the court. Officials from both sides helped bridge the gap and the two countries resumed diplomatic relations.
Wanyan Aguda showed joy: "Where is the navy who can control the Yan army's ships?"
Wanyan Loushi said: "We have not captured many ships, but Goryeo's navy is enough. Is Dobo Jilie planning to use these ships to go to sea?"
Wanyan Agu said: "Don't worry, I am not planning to use them to attack the Yan Kingdom. That would be too arrogant. These ships can go to Jinling in the Southern Dynasties. You cooperate with those Han officials to secretly bring over the royal family of Zhao and Song!"
Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Hesai were stunned.
Wanyan Agu raised the letter and said: "The Han people have taught me the benefits of being famous. If the King of Yan is unwilling to ally, then the warriors of our clan will step into the Yan territory in the future, not to invade, but to continue the Zhao and Song Dynasty.
The orthodoxy of Zhao and Song is in the Kingdom of Jin, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of ruling!"
Wanyan Wanqiu: "But even the Korean people know that the official of Zhao Song killed his mother, committed many foolish acts, and has lost the support of the people. Even if we take him back, what will happen?
What’s the use?”
Wanyan Aguda had already thought about it: "The Han people have a peculiar habit. Gratitude can be passed down, but mistakes tend to only be concentrated on one person. It doesn't matter how the Han people hate the Zhao Song official family. As long as he has heirs, we can use his
The descendants come to deal with the Yan Kingdom!"
Wanyan Loushi felt that he couldn't understand it, so Wanyan Osai said in a low voice: "Second brother, if this matter is exposed, will it directly anger King Yan and break up the originally possible alliance?"
Wanyan Aguda stood up and strode to the window. His majestic body stood with his hands behind his hands, looking in the direction of Yan in the south: "I have been thinking, is the King of Yan helping Korea just because of the same name? Or has he regarded me as a Jurchen for a long time?
The enemy will not allow a powerful country in the north to rise?"
"This formal diplomacy for the founding of the country will reflect his attitude... No matter how King Yan chooses, our country will be founded by force. We cannot expect negotiation and diplomacy to solve all problems, and we must make various preparations!"
"Do things that are beneficial to us, don't worry about other things, and fight if you want. I, the Jurchen, have nothing to fear!"
