The four hundred and fifty-fourth section of the city head changes the king's flag
On the fifth day of autumn in the first year of Han Dynasty, on the coast of Korea.
An unprecedentedly huge fleet cut through the waves and came across the sea.
Huge cockpit ships are lined up like hills, their sails cover the sky and the sun, and countless flags are flying.
Although the Han Dynasty's building ships had various flaws and unreasonable designs.
But in terms of momentum and visual shock, it is perfect.
This type of warship developed from the warships of the Wu, Yue, Qi, and Chu kingdoms during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Even if it is just an ordinary building warship, it is often more than ten feet or even twenty or thirty feet long, more than ten feet high, and divided into three floors.
, propelled by three huge sails.
And the large ships that appear on the coast of Korea now are all the giants in the Han Dynasty's southern naval fleet.
The smallest one is dozens of feet long and more than twenty feet high, and can carry hundreds of soldiers.
As for the flagship ship under Xu Han's feet, it has ten floors alone and can carry more than a thousand soldiers for combat.
On the lower deck, you can even race horses...
And beside these giant ships floating on the sea like hills, countless small and medium-sized ships shuttled back and forth.
Some of these ships have sharp spears and flags on their bows, like hedgehogs, and some are slender and flexible.
These ships are the bodyguards of the building ship. They are attached to the building ship and specialize in clearing out threats, clearing obstacles, exploring paths, etc. for the mother ship.
However, North Korea’s coastal defense in this era is almost zero.
Even if there were only a few small sampans, when they saw this huge fleet, the sailors would probably abandon the ship and run away immediately.
After all, in this ocean, the entire earth cannot now build a navy that can compete with the Han Dynasty fleet that has entered specialization and standardization.
At this moment, Xu Han was standing in the cockpit of the flagship, overlooking the coast of North Korea.
I have a lot of mixed feelings in my heart.
The so-called Queshi is synonymous with the highest floor building of the Han Dynasty warships, which is roughly equivalent to the command post of later warships.
The huge ship under Xu Han's feet had ten floors. Even standing in the middle of the room, Xu Han could see the entire fleet at a glance.
"This fleet of ships sailing across the sea is far more difficult to prevent than the Huns' cavalry!" Xu Han looked at the coast of North Korea and suddenly thought in his heart: "Today I will lead an army of large ships across the sea to attack the Wei family.
It is impossible to prevent it, and it is impossible to prevent it. But if one day, the barbarians come from overseas with huge ships, and our Han Dynasty has no ships that can stop it, wouldn't the southeast coast be invaded by the enemy?"
Thinking of this, Xu Han broke into a cold sweat instantly.
Nanyue, Minyue and Dongou are famous all over the world for their boats.
It is said that King Liu Bi of Wu built a huge ship that could carry dozens of carriages, and the deck could carry three horses running parallel to each other.
As a result, King Zhao Tuo of South Vietnam heard about it and ordered the construction of a giant ship of 100 feet in the country. It is said that after the completion of the ship, the ship sank into the sea together with the people and the ship.
However, the naval strength of the South Vietnamese can be seen from this.
If one day, South Vietnam rebels and harasses the Han Dynasty with ships and boats.
The current size of the Han Dynasty's large ship fleet, although there is no pressure to crush North Korea, but it has not yet formed an overwhelming advantage over Mitsukoshi.
At least South Vietnam has a navy no less than the size of this expedition fleet.
"No wonder His Majesty once reminded me before I went on the expedition: If we want to stabilize our country, we must not ignore the ocean. Wealth comes from the ocean, and danger also comes from the ocean... I don't know how this wealth came from yet, but the smell of danger is there.
I have heard it. After returning to the court, I will write to Your Majesty to vigorously develop building ships..." Xu Han sighed in his heart.
But in fact, the really important reason is: when he arrived in Qi State, the emperor issued an edict to change his rank from General Zuo to General Louchuan, and ordered the general Yamen of Louchuan to be placed in the commander-in-chief.
All naval warships were placed under the jurisdiction of the general office of Lou Chuan.
At the same time, it was ordered that each county and vassal state should set up a Louchuan Captain to be in charge of the navy, and be under the dual jurisdiction of the Louchuan General Yamen and the local county and state.
The General of Buildings and Ships has a salary of two thousand dan, a silver seal and a purple ribbon, and is placed under the General of Chariots and Cavalry.
In other words, now he, Songzhou, has become the head of the navy of the Han Dynasty.
It is said that the butt determines the head.
Naturally, he has to find more excuses to 'defraud military expenses' for his subordinates and his own career.
If he didn't say a word or take any action, then all the military expenses would be robbed by Qiu Ba on land. Where would he put his dignity as a general on land?
"General!" At this time, several officers in armor came over and reported: "The records of junior ranks have been completed!"
Xu Han nodded, these officers were all servants and ministers sent by the emperor to his army.
They are all people around the emperor. Although their official positions are small, they cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, these people also had important responsibilities - they were ordered to survey and map the Han Dynasty's maritime territories.
Although Xu Han didn't quite understand how these people could draw this vast sea on paper, since ancient times, maps have symbolized the power of rule and jurisdiction.
Surveying and mapping the sea charts, in a sense, extended the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty to the sea.
No official of the Han Dynasty dared to have any opinions on this, let alone stop it.
Therefore, along the way, Xu Han often slowed down the speed of the fleet to facilitate surveying and mapping by these emperor's ministers.
Of course, these people were very cooperative and never made any unreasonable demands on the ship, nor did they go beyond their duties in surveying and mapping.
Xu Han didn't know how he trained these people today.
Now that the emperor's ministers have completed their work, Xu Han is about to start working.
He walked out of the bird room, stood on the deck, drew the sword from his waist, and ordered: "Light the fire!"
There is enough space on the huge building ship to build a beacon tower, and even most of the building ships are equipped with huge trebuchets as long-range strike firepower.
Following Xu Han's order, billowing smoke immediately rose into the sky.
This is a signal, a signal to land!
Seeing the smoke signal, the fleet began to slow down and adjust its direction to facilitate the smooth landing of this huge fleet.
On each ship, the officers began to shout. Row after row of soldiers stood up silently. Under the leadership of the officers, they stood on the side of the parapet with weapons in hand.
A quarter of an hour later, dozens of horns on the flagship stuck out of the parapet, and the desolate sound of the horns resounded throughout the sea.
The first large-scale amphibious landing in the history of East Asia began.
It only took one day, and by noon on the second day, the entire fleet had completed the landing.
A total of 21,200 soldiers landed in a foreign country. A strange land.
It was not until two days later that Wang Xiancheng learned that the Han army had bypassed Bai Shui and dropped 20,000 troops directly from the sea onto its soft belly.
As soon as the news came out, King Weizhun of North Korea fainted on the spot.
And within North Korea, the situation has changed from whether to resist to the end or to be the leading party, to whether we should immediately go to the pot and welcome Master Wang? Or we should just stop doing it and cut off Wei Zhun's head and send him away.
Go to the Han army camp, and then respectfully welcome the king's troops to Wangxian City. Long live the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
The former, let's do it. You guys don't have any psychological pressure.
Outside of China, among the barbarians and barbarians, such things as etiquette, justice, integrity, and shame simply do not exist.
People here are very realistic - surviving is the key. The second most important thing is living well.
Not to mention that Wei's life and death has nothing to do with them, but it does. So what?
In order to survive, killing one's father and mother is not an unusual thing outside the territory.
Even Mao Dun's murder of his father has become a great deed that many people are vying to praise.
In comparison, betraying or killing Wei Zhun is not a problem.
In particular, the Yiren archway built by the Han Dynasty is so dazzling!
The treatment of the leader of Yiren after his surrender made countless people feel like there were countless ants crawling in their hearts!
This thing is great!
Not only can they enjoy the luxurious life and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, but they can also continue to retain their original privileges and dominate the local area.
This is equivalent to the later generations of Emperor Mi telling the officials of the Chinese Empire that I have reached an agreement with the Chinese Empire and you can immigrate here and continue to retain your Chinese identity.
Do you think how many familiar people will suddenly become international friends?
It's a pity that while these people are still thinking about it, someone is quicker than them.
……………………
That night, Wangxian City, Wei Palace.
The palace of the Wei family was actually the original palace of the Qi family. After Wei Manjiu occupied the magpie nest, he found that the palace was not bad, so he took it for himself without any ceremony.
Therefore, the overall architecture and format still remain in the style of a hundred years ago.
After the Wei family took over, Wei Man's buttocks died without being heated, leaving an infant baby to inherit the throne.
In the next twenty years, the power of the Wei family was controlled by powerful ministers, and the palace became a decoration. No one cared about it until Wei Zhun killed those senior ministers, united the tribal forces, and regained power.
To be honest, Wei Zhun's abilities are outstanding in North Korea.
Many of the measures and policies he implemented after taking office are more in line with North Korea's current situation.
He was pro-Xiongnu, strengthened the transformation of barbarians into barbarians, prohibited Han immigrants and their descendants from wearing Chinese clothes, emphasized being sent to the left, and even had ulterior motives to start over from scratch and create an official system and system that was completely different from the Han Dynasty.
On the other hand, he desperately used coercion, inducement, bribery and other means to lure landless Han people from Liaodong and even Yanzhao to North Korea. With the help of the advanced farming culture brought by these people, he played an important role in the development and productivity improvement of North Korea.
to a positive effect.
but……
After all, North Korea is still too small and weak!
In the past, with the protection of the Xiongnu father, I was not afraid of the threat of the Han Dynasty. I could act unscrupulously and even provoke the Han Dynasty.
But who could have imagined that overnight, Han and Hungary made peace. The monarchs of the two countries made peace with each other and divided the world with the Great Wall as the boundary.
Korea immediately became an abandoned son of the Huns!
Without the protective umbrella of the Xiongnu, it is conceivable that Korea would be destroyed.
When the building is about to collapse, countless people are looking for their own way to survive.
Wei Youqu is one of them.
Wei Youqu was the fourth son of Wei Zhun. Because he was named the King of Youqu, he was simply named after Youqu. This is a very common situation outside of China.
Wei Youqu has been very smart since he was a child, and his talent is even better than that of his father.
He knew very well that given his status, there was only one way to survive: kill Wei Zhun, and then offer his head to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He bowed his head and bowed to the emperor, servilely, and worked as a cow or a horse for the Han people.
Work hard without complaining, even giving up your human self-esteem.
Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope to survive.
Otherwise, as soon as the Han army reaches the gates of Wangxian City, the army and nobles in the city will kill all the people named Wei and use the Wei family's heads as atonements for themselves.
Presumably, the Emperor of Chang'an was also happy to see this situation.
In order to avoid having his head chopped off, Wei Youqu can only kill his parents and brothers now.
"My father, my queen, my brothers and sisters, don't blame me. If you want to blame me, blame the world!" Wei Youqu packed his clothes and said in his heart.
"If one day I can restore my country, and even be like Gou Jian, the Yue King in Han Chinese history, who came to Chang'an with troops, I swear, I will avenge you and let the Liu family taste this fear and despair!"
Although Wei Youqu also knew that it was impossible!
The Han people are so powerful. Just extending a finger can make the whole country of North Korea despair.
The news that Wei Youqu has now received is that more than half of the defenders responsible for defending Bai Shui have fled. The rest are just fighting. When the king's division arrives, should they be eating pots of pulp or marching forward for the king?
idea.
As for the domestic tribal nobles and military generals, their ideas are even simpler.
Kill all the Wei clan to vent their anger on Chang'an, and then go up to the table and ask Hao Jun to rule North Korea forever. It will be hereditary and will not replace you. It is best to get the emperor's official canonization and seal edict like Hao Jun.
However, those guys were all wary of each other and could not sort out the situation for a while.
Once they sort things out internally, it will be the end of the Wei family!
The entire Wei family, as well as all people, families, tribes loyal to the Wei family, and men taller than a wheel will be killed. As for the women, they will be kidnapped and become slaves.
"Master, take action, otherwise it will be too late!" Beside, a heavily armed officer advised.
These people were die-hard loyalists of the Wei family in the past, but now, under the pressure of the situation, those who want to survive naturally have no choice but to follow Wei Youqu to make a fortune.
"Okay!" Wei Youqu lowered his head and said coldly: "Everyone, follow me into the palace and see your father, queen and mother off to death!"
"The Han Dynasty has a tradition of only killing the first culprit, regardless of the coercion!" Wei Youqu encouraged the die-hard warriors around him: "Back then, when Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, rebelled, the emperor of the Han Dynasty only killed Liu Xingju and pardoned the other subordinates.
With the head of the King of Korea, I think I can calm down the Emperor of Chang'an!"
Hearing what he said, the hundreds of people surrounding him became energetic.
Wei Youqu, however, lowered his head and sighed.
Liu Xingju is an old man.
The Liu emperors became more and more cruel from generation to generation!
After Liu Bang and Lu Wan rebelled, he still stayed at the foot of the Great Wall, waiting for Liu Bang's pardon edict. It was only after Liu Bang died that he angrily defected to the Huns.
In Liu Heng's generation, his younger brother Liu Chang even starved to death!
And Liu Qi simply issued an edict: to fight against the rebels, go deep and kill as many as possible, and kill all the naked ones. The rebels must be destroyed from spirit to body. There is no so-called morality and righteousness at all.
The emperors of this generation are even more cruel.
But if you kill an eastern captain, you will destroy the country!
Is there such a domineering emperor?
Shouldn’t the Chinese emperor convince others with morality and etiquette instead of swords and guns?
"The Han Dynasty will be attacked soon!" Wei Youqu thought to himself: "Just like the Qin Dynasty, it will be attacked by heaven sooner or later!"
In Wei Youqu's view, the emperor of China should be gentle towards the foreigners. It is best to take care of the feelings of these small countries in everything. He would rather suffer a loss himself to take care of the face of the small country. He should be benevolent, moral, and generous in rewards.
to win over other countries.
Such an emperor is a good emperor!
Today's Han Dynasty has definitely learned the tricks of the Qin Dynasty!
It is impossible to win the hearts of the people!
Sooner or later it will perish!
Well, it will definitely perish!
"At that time, I can follow the example of Gou Jian, King of Yue, Taizu of the Han Dynasty, a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, crusade against the unjust, obey the heavens and respond to the people!" Wei Youqu thought of this, and couldn't help but fantasize about his glory and majesty in that time.
Well, before that, we still have to learn from Gou Jian, be patient, bear the humiliation, be a servile person, and wait for the tyrant to perish on his own!
He stood up, picked up the weapon in his hand, and said to the die-hard party members around him: "Today we will bring order to the chaos. We will enter the palace and ask the king to die to thank the emperor of Chang'an and pray for the emperor's forgiveness. We are not rebellious. In fact, we are not rebellious."
He is a loyal minister. A loyal minister who is loyal to Chang'an!"
Since you want to learn from Goujian, you must learn enough!
Wei Youqu knew that at this moment, he would become more loyal to Chang'an than the Han people in China, and he would be more considerate of the Emperor of Chang'an than the Chinese ministers!
Therefore, Wei Youqu spoke in Chinese - in fact, Wei himself usually communicated in Chinese in private. Only when facing Han officials and Han people would he use the Yi-Di accent.
But at this moment, it would be a taboo to use the Yi language again.
Wei Youqu was a smart man. Of course he would not make this mistake.
In fact, his current costume is also very interesting.
He tied his hair up instead of letting it hang as usual and made it into a braid.
He also took off the brass rings from his ears and threw them to the ground.
The hem of his clothes is to the right, not to the left.
He wore a loose Hanfu, instead of the original Hufu, which allowed his chest to be exposed at any time.
He even wore wooden clogs on his feet that were commonly worn by Han Dynasty officials...
All of this shows that this person has done a perfect job in the details.
"Let's go!" Wei Youqu waved his hand and led hundreds of his men towards the palace.
The guards of the palace saw Prince Wei Youqu coming with hundreds of people in a menacing manner. You looked at me, I looked at you, no one dared to ask questions - in fact, no one was an idiot.
There have long been rumors in the palace that the king's sons, except for the eldest son Wei Xin, who was said to have offended the current Emperor of Han when he went to Chang'an last year and did not have the courage to surrender, the remaining princes are not honest.
"Your Highness, what are you here for?" After a long time, an officer asked tremblingly.
"The king has been ill for a long time and has lost his ambition. He has been punished by God and has nothing to pray for!" Wei Youqu said with a righteous face: "As a Han minister alone, my advice is ineffective. I have no choice but to give advice with troops. If you are loyal ministers, please follow me.
We are alone, working together on important events, and praying together for the king to confess his sins and thank Chang'an!"
Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.
Wei Youqu spoke in Chinese, which they all could understand - in fact, almost everyone in the North Korean aristocracy could speak Chinese.
But, isn’t His Highness Youqu too shameless?
Your father has been ill for a long time and lost his ambition? It’s like calling your father a mentally ill person!
As for pleading guilty before the law, isn't the subtext just to borrow your head?
but……
What does this have to do with me?
The Chinese Emperor Long Yan was furious, and the heavenly soldiers arrived, causing Korea to collapse.
Everyone is in danger!
Everyone knows that once the Han army breaks into Wangxian City, they will have to settle old and new accounts together.
I don’t know how many people in this city can survive.
But what Prince Youqu said made many people feel anxious.
Yes!
Everything is the fault of that damned psychopath!
He is a psychopath, so the things he does are naturally crazy!
We, the ministers, have tried so hard to persuade us but it is ineffective!
Now, inspired by righteousness, we finally understand that the true loyal minister is to be loyal to the emperor of Chang'an!
So, we decided to kill each other out of righteousness...
No one would believe this statement.
However, with this statement, there are steps.
Moreover, by presenting the king's head to Chang'an Palace, the emperor of Chang'an's face was taken care of, and the face of the Han Dynasty was also taken care of.
Then, wouldn't it be possible for these little shrimps to escape the disaster, and even be able to show up as heroes in a majestic manner?
When thinking of the word "hero", countless people's eyes light up.
Even without an order from the higher-ups, someone said: "Your Highness is wise, and we have known this for a long time, but the king insists on going his own way! Today, I received a warning from your Highness, and I suddenly realized it. I am willing to follow Your Highness and admonish the King together!"
With a crash, someone among the palace guards dropped their weapons and disappeared into the night.
These people didn't want to follow Wei Youqu to do such a thing, but they also knew that they were trying to do something for themselves, so they simply gave up the challenge.
But more people knelt down to Wei Youqu and said: "Your Highness understands the righteousness and should succeed to the throne of North Korea!"
The corners of Wei Youqu's mouth twitched twice. If he had heard such words in the past, he would have been too happy.
But now, the North Korean throne is a hot potato, and whoever takes it will die.
He could only say in embarrassment: "I am a young man with poor moral character. Brother Wang believes that his eldest son can be the king!"
The Han Dynasty will definitely not leave the Wei family to continue to dominate Korea.
However, the Wei family still needed a "big king" to perform the drama of apologizing for the sins of holding the royal seal in his mouth, bowing to the north, and going to Chang'an, kneeling every three steps and kowtowing every nine steps.
Then, if you can't afford to kneel down in Chang'an while crying, it's best to finally say, "I feel that my sins are serious, and I am guilty even if I die." Then I offer the royal seal of Korea, the album and the household registration with both hands, and then commit suicide by cutting myself.
, Only in this way can the face of the Emperor Han be fully taken care of, and everyone can survive.
Otherwise, if the Emperor of the Han Dynasty does not intend to let go of Wei's regime, what should he do?
Moreover, even if the Emperor of Han was magnanimous, Korea would definitely no longer exist.
In this way, the last King of Joseon was a taboo being, and the best result would be nothing more than a glass of poisoned wine.
Wei Youqu is not that stupid!
This task must be left to his brother, Wei Xin, who offended the emperor in Chang'an.
Only Weixin can do it!
As for whether Wei Xin is willing or not, that’s not up to him! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
