Taking the memorial of the king of Dongou Kingdom, Liu Che read it several times, and the more he read it, the more excited he became.
Of course King Dongou didn't come to ask for it.
His memorials were similar to the memorials of the three countries of Fujian, Yue, Dongou, and South Vietnam in the past - they snitched on each other and reported and exposed the other party's dirty materials.
But this time the report made by King Dongou was extraordinary, and it contained pictures and the truth!
He said in his memorial: Ziju, the third son of Wu Ni and Liu Bi, died in Minyue. Minyue treated him as a state guest and allowed him to stand on his own feet and support his army.
Ziju deeply hated Dong Ou for betraying Liu Bi and had a sworn hatred for killing his father. Therefore, he persuaded the King of Minyue day and night to attack Dong Ou.
King Dongou then asked the emperor to make the decision in a "sincere fear" and "could not sleep at night".
Liu Che put down the memorial and said calmly to the envoy of the King of Donghai: "I already know what the King of Donghai reported. When you return home, you will tell the King of Donghai: I will send envoys to Dongou and Minyue to investigate.
Please relax, King of the East China Sea, as long as I am here, the Kingdom of the East China Sea will not be attacked!"
It is not unusual for Liu Bi's sons to live in exile in South Vietnam, Fujian and even southwestern barbarians. The Han Dynasty and the public had long speculated on the whereabouts of these people. When the late emperor was still alive, he even sent envoys there many times.
South Vietnamese and Fujianese secret investigations.
But unfortunately, the late emperor passed away while the envoy was still on the way, so the matter naturally went unsolved.
After Liu Che ascended the throne, he was busy controlling the military power and winning the hearts of the people of the government and the public. Naturally, he did not have the time or energy to take care of a few bereaved dogs.
Now it seems that they are quite happy jumping around!
When the envoy of King Dongyou heard this, he immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you are so kind. I, the King of Donghai, are so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude!"
The so-called Dong'ou is actually just a common name. Just like some people call sweet potatoes sweet potatoes. Donghai Kingdom is the official name of Dong'ou Kingdom.
Liu Che touched his chin. He naturally knew what the Dongou people were thinking.
The relationship between Dongou and Minyue is very complicated.
In essence, the Dongou Kingdom was actually a product of the Han Dynasty to contain and fetter the Minyue Kingdom, and the Minyue Kingdom was a product of the Han Dynasty to weaken the prestige of Changsha King Wu Bin among the Yue people.
This is a bad thing, even if it takes three days and three nights, I can't explain it.
To put it simply, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Qin's Poyang ordered Wu Bing to take the opportunity to stand on his own and separatist power. He was known as Poyang Lord.
The leader of the Yue people, Wuzhu, the first Minyue king, led the Yue people to protect Wu Bin's men.
At the beginning, the thigh that Wu Bing hugged was Xiang Yu.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu looked down on Wu Bing, the Lord of Poyang, and looked down upon him, and his treatment was appallingly low.
Wu Bin then shouted: Don't deceive young people into poverty. After thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, he decisively voted for Liu Bang.
Liu Bang was much more generous than the stingy Xiang Yu.
After Xiang Yu was killed, Wu Bing was given more rewards.
Xu Qi established the Changsha Kingdom, split the earth and became king, becoming the only one among the princes and kings with different surnames who could die in peace.
At that time, Wu Bin was the co-leader of the Yue people, and no one dared to disobey his orders from Hunan to Zhejiang, Fujian and other places where the Yue people gathered.
The founder of the Minyue Kingdom, Wu Zhu, was just a minister under Wu Bin.
Five years after arriving in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang suddenly discovered that although Wu Bing looked thick-browed, loyal and honest, he had too much power.
All Yue people regard him as their common master.
How can this work!
We must decisively weaken and rebalance!
But at that time, Liu Bang had been emperor for five years, and he had to pay more attention to moral integrity and food appearance.
We can no longer lift the table and curse, just roll up our sleeves and get going as we did in the past.
Therefore, this operation was much more polite.
In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty issued an edict. In the name of "survival and death, it is the responsibility of the king" and the reason of "Wuzhu has made great contributions to the country and has great military achievements", he appointed Wu Zhu as the King of Minyue to rule the vast Minyue area.
Dongye established the capital for it.
The establishment of the Minyue Kingdom was tantamount to breaking Wu Bing's arm. With Wu Zhu as the Minyue King, Wu Bing could no longer issue orders to the Yue people as he had in the past.
After solving Wu Bing's problem, Minyue's problem reappeared.
The Yue people huddle together for warmth and unite under Wu Zhu's command. This is also unacceptable to the Han Dynasty!
Therefore, in the third year of Emperor Xiaohui's reign, Empress Lu killed a horseman and reiterated the contribution of the Yue people in the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han. During the period of Gao Emperor Liu Bang's crusade against Yingbu and Peng Yue, the general under the command of King Wu Zhu of Min Yue was named Lord of Min.
In recognition of Yao's achievements, he was crowned King of the East China Sea and his capital was Dongou.
The King of Minyue had no intention of objecting, but on the one hand, with the support of the Han Dynasty, he immediately got rid of the control of Minyue and was actually independent. On the other hand, his feudal kingdom and throne itself came from military merit.
, the Han Dynasty used military merit as an excuse to confer titles, and Minyue was a mute eating Coptis chinensis. He could not tell his sufferings, so he could only hold his nose and admit it. Thirdly, the person in power at that time was Empress Lu, Lu Pheasant, Empress Lu's methods and tactics
, how can it be that nothing can stop it?
However, from then on, the two countries Minyue and Donghai (Dongou) were on the same side and hostile to each other.
Wu Zhu's descendants felt that Donghai Kingdom was just a subject of his brother, so why should he be equal to him?
But Yao's descendants believe that I relied on my actual military exploits to break the earth to become a king, and I was canonized by the Emperor of Chang'an, so what does it have to do with you?
More importantly: there are no two suns in the sky and no two masters on the earth.
For Minyue, if they want to unify the Yue people, Donghai and Nanyue must be eliminated. Compared with South Vietnam, Dongou is undoubtedly the kind of little loli who has a soft voice and a delicate body that is easy to push down. For fifty years, Minyue has dreamed of destroying it.
He conquered the East China Sea Kingdom and then unified Mitsukoshi.
As for Dongou, Minyue's claim to be the co-owner of the Yue people was simply arrogant. Moreover, the way the other party was sharpening their swords made the Dongou people involuntarily embrace Chang'an's thigh. By the time of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen,
It was changed to hugging Liu Bi's thigh.
The conflict between the two sides is almost irreconcilable!
Of course, the Han Dynasty was very willing to see such a situation: Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou were three pillars standing against each other. No one could be the boss, and no one could do anything to the other.
When time comes to the present day of Liu Che's rule, fifty years have passed by in a blink of an eye. The pain caused by the war in the late Qin Dynasty seems to be an illusory bubble. It no longer exists. Even young people have almost forgotten that there is such a person who even the emperor is poor.
It was a miserable era when five horses of the same color were needed to pull the cart. The prime minister could only go to court in an ox cart.
The vast land of China began to burst with vitality. The Han Dynasty's 50-year national policy of recuperation had brought China's population to an unprecedented peak!
The empire under Liu Che's rule has a total of 41 counties today, with nearly 7 million households, and a population of almost 40 million!
What is this concept?
At the height of the Tang Dynasty, there were only 6 million households and a population of over 40 million.
Relying on this population base, Li Tang punched the Turks, kicked the Western Regions, and also had a fight with the Arabs.
Of course, there were too many hidden households in the Li Tang Dynasty, and his population data is just an official data and cannot prove anything.
In the Han Dynasty, there was basically no such thing as a hidden house. The local tycoons were cut off by Chang'an. Under the classical militarism system, there was no local power that could compete with the government.
In the Han Dynasty, even the children of slaves and servants were taxed. And the tax was heavy!
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Liu Che is willing, the entire empire can dance according to his wishes.
Under such circumstances, Liu Che's heart would naturally become enlarged.
What is colonizing India?
The empire on which the sun never sets is my journey!
Of course, before that, the country's unification must be completed.
From the East China Sea to the South China Sea. From Yunnan to Hainan, from desert to swamp.
Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.
North Korea is the first step on this journey, followed by Mitsukoshi, and then Southwest Yi.
But to be honest, the southwest region is too poor and too remote.
In the short term, at least based on the current technological level and social conditions, fetters are better.
The Han Dynasty did not have so many resources to invest in that barren land that was now almost a wasteland.
Thinking like this, Liu Che looked at the Dongou envoy gently and said: "I know the loyalty of the King of Donghai!"
For Liu Che, Liu Bi's exiled princes were the cornerstone for him to launch his infiltration of Mitsukoshi and the color revolution.
They are all treasures! They cannot die easily!
Therefore, he continued: "Please go back and tell the King of East China Sea that this matter should not be made public, I will handle it myself!"
Of course it needs to be dealt with!
Under the pretext of investigating Minyue for harboring imperial prisoners, Liu Che can extend his tentacles to Dongou, Minyue and even South Vietnam, further expanding his influence on these three countries. If he is lucky, within ten years, these three separatist regimes can be defeated
, reunified into the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Now, in Liu Che's eyes, the only person standing in front of him and preventing him from unifying the Three Kingdoms is the old immortal King Zhao Tuo of South Vietnam!
"When will Zhao Tuo die?" Liu Che couldn't help but sigh.
Regarding this old fox, Liu Che did not dare to take it lightly until the day he died.
You know, this is a heroic figure who can play tricks with Liu Bang, dare to fool Empress Lu, and play tricks on Emperor Taizong Xiaowen.
On the other hand, Liu Che also maintained sufficient respect for Zhao Tuo.
Although his positions and interests are different, Liu Che must admit that Zhao Tuo has made great contributions to China, China, and the Han people!
Since ancient times, the Yue people have been independent and unruly.
It was Zhao Tuo who completely integrated the Yue people into the Chinese national system.
Before Zhao Tuo, the Yue people, especially those in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, basically had their own religious beliefs and cultural system.
After Zhao Tuo, Guangdong and Guangxi became an integral part of China, and the Yue people gradually became part of the Han people. Up to now, almost all the Yue people under Zhao Tuo have been Sinicized. They use Chinese, write Chinese characters, and wear Chinese.
Hanfu is almost the same as China.
Moreover, without Zhao Tuo, the Guangdong and Guangxi regions might still be stuck in the primitive society of slash-and-burn farming.
Liu Che saw clearly that Zhao Tuo contributed to national integration, but he only wanted to maintain his own Zhao family dynasty and resisted the trend of unification. This is a sin!
Of course, Zhao Tuo is much cuter than North Korea who seeks death.
You have to know that the Nanyue Kingdom implements a system of prefectures and counties. (To be continued...)
