As the center of the land of Annan, it can be said that "in the area of Zhaitiandi, it has the power of tigers and dragons, and it is located in the north, south, east and west, with the mountains and rivers facing away. The land is wide and flat, the soil is high and cool, and the people's residences
The sleepiness of the faint pad, the abundance of all things, and the vastness of the Yue Kingdom, it is a scenic spot, an important meeting place with convergence from all directions, and the capital of all the capitals."...
Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty has never paid much attention to this fertile land. In addition to showing the majesty of the Celestial Dynasty, it has never been determined to permanently incorporate it into its territory.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, a minister said: "The barbarians in Linyi are not going well. Please send troops to attack them."
How did His Majesty Li Er handle it?
He said: "Soldiers are deadly weapons and should be used as a last resort. Therefore, Guangwu of the Han Dynasty said: 'Every time a soldier is fired, his hair will turn white without realizing it.' Since ancient times, soldiers have been extremely powerful, and there has never been anyone who has not survived. Fu Jian relied on his own soldiers.
If he wants to be strong, he will swallow up the Jin Dynasty, raise millions of troops, and die in one fell swoop. The Sui lord will also take Korea, and he will work hard for many years, and the people will not complain, so he will die at the hands of a common man. As for Jie Li, he invaded our country in the past years.
The tribe was tired of conquest and perished. Now that I see this, how can I send troops immediately? But the mountains are dangerous and the people are plagued by miasma. If our soldiers are sick, even if they are so barbaric, what can be done?" He refused to send troops to conquer.
His words were filled with compassion and contempt for Annan and Linyi.
In fact, is it really as he said, "Soldiers and weapons are used as a last resort"? Absolutely not. At this time, he still despised Emperor Sui Yang's conquest of Goguryeo, which wasted money and people, but he already had in his heart the idea of conquering Goguryeo once and for all to show his victory.
Surpass the determination of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
There are many emperors who are not afraid of war, and His Majesty Li Er is one of them...
The reason why I look down on this place is simply that "it has experienced dangerous mountains and many miasma. If our soldiers are sick, even if they are so barbaric, it will be of no benefit."
That place was conquered by the Qin Dynasty, conquered by the Han Dynasty, conquered by the Sui Dynasty, conquered by Xiao Mian... What does it matter whether the Tang Dynasty conquered it or not? It is just a land with a small land and a few people, and there are not many outsiders.
, not as much as him...
*****
At midnight, the moon is bright and dew heavy.
Li Zhuangzhi, who is over seventy years old, is wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist. His beard and hair are white and his eyes are bright. He stands on the stone steps in the courtyard of the mansion, looking at the dozens of close friends, old and young, in front of him, and keeps silent.
These people include old slaves who have followed him for many years, as well as descendants of the Wanchun Kingdom, and most of them are young and strong members of the clan.
The bright moon looked hazy in the mist that filled the sky. The cool moonlight shone on these people in the courtyard, as if they were tinged with a faint light...
Li Zhuangzhi drew out his saber, pointed the tip of the saber slantingly at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "A hundred years ago, Emperor Tiande resisted the tyranny of the Liang Kingdom, led the people of Jiaozhou to rise up, expelled the cruel officials, established his own country, and established his capital at Longbian.
The Eternal Spring Kingdom, this is our Annan people’s foundation that will last for thousands of years!”
His voice was low, but in the silence of the night, every word was clearly heard by everyone present.
"What is 'Wanchun'?"
Li Zhuangzhi asked a question, his scorching eyes swept over the faces of everyone in front of him, and he asked and answered: "Wan Chun means 'spring wishes the country to the world forever'! This is the prayer of Emperor Tiande who cares about the people, hoping that in the future
Under his leadership, the descendants of this land will be prosperous and peaceful like spring, and the country and the country will be passed down to eternity without fading!"
His eyes were filled with ardent admiration, and his voice gradually became louder: "From the founding of the Wanchun Kingdom in the first year of Yuan De, until the defeat of the South Vietnamese Emperor Li Fozi, he was captured by the evil thief Liu Fang of the Sui Dynasty, and was taken to Chang'an and brutally killed.
In the past ten years, the martyrs of the Wanchun Kingdom have fought hard to protect this land from being occupied by the Han people in the Central Plains and to protect our people from being enslaved by the cruel Han officials! Now, the Wanchun Kingdom has been destroyed for forty years, but the Wanchun Kingdom has
The Miao people have never been extinct! Today, as the direct grandson of the Emperor of South Vietnam, I, Li Zhuangzhi, hereby swear to raise an army to drive out the aliens. As long as the glory of the Wanchun Kingdom is restored, I will not hesitate to be devastated and go to hell! If you violate this oath, you will be punished like this.
!”
With a flash of light, Li Zhuangzhi cut off the little finger of his left hand with his sword. Blood gushed out, but his expression remained unchanged!
Everyone in the courtyard had excited expressions and blazing eyes. They did not dare to cheer loudly to alert the Tang army in charge of the palace. They all pursed their lips tightly but raised their arms high!
Most of the people present did not know what Wanchunguo was. Even if they knew, many people had already forgotten it.
Forty years is not enough time to change the sea into mulberry fields, but it is enough time to change things and people. Who can still remember the country that was just founded and was slaughtered by the Han people, just like a bereaved dog lingering on?
But that's not important.
Now it is obvious that the Tang Dynasty has no interest in the land of Annan. Ten years ago, the Linyi Kingdom was in rebellion, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty even refused to send troops to conquer it... Although the Tang Dynasty Navy has leased Da Nang and controlled the Linyi Kingdom's court, no one has placed this on the agenda.
In eyes.
Although the Navy of the Tang Dynasty was invincible in the world, it was impossible to show off its power on the sea or on land!
Annan, not Linyi!
The vast majority of the people in this land are of Han descent. Even if their ancestors left their hometowns and lived here as guests, they have never taken the indigenous monkeys of Linyi State seriously!
As long as the garrison of the Jiaozhou Governor's Office here can be quickly eliminated, the Wanchun Kingdom can become rich and successful. Ten years ago, the Tang Dynasty refused to send troops to conquer Linyi. Now the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is preparing for an eastern expedition against Goguryeo, and it is even less likely to send a large army.
Destroy their little Wanchun Kingdom...
Once the restoration of the country is successful, everyone here will become a hero of the restoration of the country. It goes without saying that they will be granted the title of marquis, generals, officials and nobles. They can also have their names engraved in the history of history, and their descendants will look up and worship them. How is this?
A huge achievement?
A vigorous figure hurriedly ran into the courtyard from outside the house, went to Li Zhuangzhi and whispered: "Qingzhuang from Xiyu, Beidai, Linling and other places have arrived ten miles outside the county seat. They are equipped with weapons and armor. They are just waiting for the order from the head of the family.
Next, we should cooperate with the inside and the outside and rush into the city!"
Li Zhuangzhi was in high spirits, and asked a doctor to treat his wounds. He looked up at the sky, leaned his knife on the ground, and said to the people in front of him: "Three days ago, there was civil strife in Linyi, and the general Jiadu killed the king.
The imperial court usurped the throne, but was attacked by King Qin's troops from all over the city, and they fought to the death. How could the Tang Navy tolerate such a hidden danger on the side of the bed? It is imperative to send troops to exterminate, and most of the troops will be firmly restrained. As long as we
With lightning speed, they wiped out the Tang garrisons in various places, and then announced the restoration of the country, creating an established fact. The Tang Dynasty will only hold their noses and admit it, and will never send an army to attack! Therefore, you should unite sincerely,
Let’s work together to create an eternal foundation!”
After saying that, he held the sword in his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, follow me to open the city gate, gather the rebels from all walks of life, enter the city, and storm the Tang garrison!"
"Here!"
Everyone took out their weapons and responded in unison.
The gate of the palace opened wide, and dozens of people filed out, taking advantage of the darkness to quietly touch the north gate tower...
The night fell deeper, and the soldiers on the tower were dozing off under the arrow stacks holding their swords in their arms. Except for the dots of candlelight, everything in the city was silent.
In a forest outside the city, more than a thousand young men with various clothes and weapons were lurking inside. They were standing or squatting while holding their breath. No one dared to make too much noise. The birds perched on the treetops had already been frightened and flew away.
, fortunately it did not attract the attention of the soldiers on the tower...
Li Qingshu stood at the edge of the woods, staring at a blur of towers in the distance for a while, and then at Li Wanshan beside him. Both of them were descendants of the Wanchun Kingdom. His grandfather was Li Daquan, the nephew of the South Vietnamese Emperor Li Fozi, and Li Wanshan
His great-grandfather was Li Shanding, the general of Wanchun Kingdom.
Although they have the same surname, they are from different ethnic groups.
After the fall of the Wanchun Kingdom, the descendants of the tribe survived under the protection of the common people. After several generations of business, they once again became a wealthy family in the Annan area. However, they did not dare or forget the glory and blood feud of their ancestors in the past. They were always looking for the best opportunity to raise armies.
Restoration of the country...
It's just that after all, the age of Wanchun Kingdom has been a long time ago, and the young people in the clan have long forgotten those glorious years and the hatred that was littered with corpses. Most of those who can follow them now are working hard for their own future.
They didn't care whether the Wanchun Kingdom could be restored, they only cared about whether they could expel the Tang army after raising troops and make achievements and gain promotion and wealth.
Just like Li Wanshan beside him...
They are separated by a generation. Li Wanshan is not yet 30 years old, but he has strong prestige and great appeal among the younger generation. Li Wanshan does not have much sense of belonging to the Wanchun Kingdom in the past, but he is very ambitious.
Not willing to be inferior to others, he always wants to create a career that will shock the past and the present. Besides getting promoted and making a fortune, it would be best if he can leave his name in history...
