In fact, the name "Three Hans" began in the Han Dynasty. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Dongyi" said: "There are three kinds of Hans: one is called Mahan, the other is Chenhan, and the third is Bianhan. In the west, there are five Hans.
The fourteen kingdoms are bordered by Lelang to the north and Japanese to the south, and they are close relatives of the Japanese. Chenhan is in the east, and there are two kingdoms in ten. Its north is bordered by Haoqiang of the same clan. Benchen is in the south of Chenhan, and there are two kingdoms in ten.
, its south is also connected with the Japanese, and the Japanese are also close relatives."
The records are very clear, Mahan Bianhan is related to the Japanese, and Chenhan and Haoqi are of the same race.
As for Haoyun, it has the same origin as Goguryeo and Buyeo...
It's just that since before Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, few people in the Central Plains had looked at the barren peninsula, so they were indifferent to the evolution of power on the island. Although the three Koreas have long become a thing of the past, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are staged a new "
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but people in the Central Plains still like to refer to them collectively as "Three Koreas".
Among the three Koreas, Silla, which evolved from "Chenhan", has always been the most popular one.
Goguryeo was a powerful country in Liaodong. Not to mention the many attacks by Silla who bullied the weak, Baekje was the most powerful. It invaded Silla's territory several times, burned, killed and captured people. Every time Silla offered tribute, it begged for mercy.
Then they would accept everything as ordered, and the two countries would make peace. When Goguryeo shouted that it wanted to beat Silla, Baekje immediately forgot about the past of accepting tributes, and followed Goguryeo behind to cause harm to Silla.
Even the Japanese country across the sea would cross the sea from time to time to plunder...
When Queen Seondeok came to the throne, she faced a peninsula filled with chaos and chaos.
The territory expanded by our ancestors was constantly being encroached upon by Goguryeo and Baekje, and overseas Japanese would also harass them from time to time. She was just like a frustrated little daughter-in-law...
The idea of hugging the enemy has been around for a long time. However, although the Tang Dynasty has been unified, the shadow of the failure of the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo has not dissipated. The death song of Wuxiang Liaodong is still echoing in Liaodong. Who knows what the Tang Dynasty relies on?
If you are not reliable, will you be able to deal with the chaotic peninsula?
Until they heard that the Tang Dynasty was going to expedition to Goguryeo, Silla was immediately overjoyed.
The monarchs and ministers gathered together and calculated that we and Goguryeo have a deep hatred. If Goguryeo were destroyed in one day, everyone would naturally like to hear about it. Moreover, with the strong military power of the Tang Dynasty sweeping across the Turks, Goguryeo would probably not be able to repeat the scene of the Sui Dynasty defeating the Tianjun. It would probably be completed. If
At this time, we should hold on to Datang's arms and act as vanguards. We can not only avenge the past bullying, but also gain benefits.
So it was agreed to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty.
Officials of the Tang Dynasty naturally refused to accept Silla who came to their door. In fact, the Tang Dynasty did not have a complete foreign policy at this time. All foreign policies only followed one basis - fuck you if you mess with me, if you don't accept it
Fuck you, fuck you if you have a grudge!
Simple and crude...
Silla has never had any grudges with the Tang Dynasty, and has never provoked the Tang Dynasty. However, His Majesty Li Er, the British leader of the generation, is leading his army to deal with Tuyuhun and the East and West Turks, and his attitude towards the peninsula is quite cold. Now that Silla is thousands of miles away,
Coming to request an alliance was definitely not on the list of "hostile". For those officials in the Tang Dynasty who were deeply influenced by Confucianism and regarded themselves as a land of etiquette, they could not refuse.
Not only did they not refuse, but after the alliance was formed, they even thought that Silla, a land with a small population and a small population, could be embarrassed to accept tributes from others?
Therefore, after consulting His Majesty Li Er, who was arrogant and self-righteous about foreign policy, he not only did not collect tribute from Silla, but instead presented the Emperor of Silla with a gift that was far more than ten times the value of the tribute on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty...
…
Where had Silla officials seen such a kind and generous powerful country?
I was moved to tears.
After returning to China, he praised the Tang Dynasty in front of Queen Seondeok, saying that they were both powerful countries. Compared with Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty was a world of difference. Goguryeo was a scumbag and would be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty sooner or later.
We hugged the thighs correctly.
Queen Seondeok and the officials of Silla were immediately overjoyed.
In the future, every year and festival would send envoys to Chang'an to congratulate him, bringing a cart full of gifts and bringing back ten carts of gifts. The kings, ministers and people of Silla were very fond of him.
Thus becoming Datang's loyal ally...
Now the Tang Dynasty navy has reached as far away as the Japanese country, turning the Japanese country into a mess. Naturally, Silla couldn't help but feel happy, finally getting rid of a scourge! They also heard that the commander of the navy was the favorite son-in-law of the Tang emperor, and he had conquered it in advance.
When Jin Famin, a descendant of the royal family, went there, the Queen of Silla quickly ordered someone to invite Fang Jun to come to Jincheng.
It not only expresses the importance of the Tang Dynasty, but also takes the opportunity to cooperate with the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty to boost Silla's economy...
So this time, Queen Seondeok led her ministers to the dock to greet her.
*****
The royal city of Silla was built along the sea. The Silla people called it Jincheng, but the Han people mostly called it Gyeongju.
The royal palace of Silla was built in the city. The architectural style was obviously influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. It is almost the same as the palaces of the Central Plains in the past dynasties, but it looks more like a smaller version... No, it should be a simplified version. It is similar to the palaces of the Central Plains of the past dynasties.
The golden jade is different in its splendor and grandeur. The royal city of Silla, Jincheng, is very small, and the palace is even smaller. Even Asuka Kyoto, which has only a few palaces in the Japanese country, is not as good as...
A sumptuous banquet was prepared in the palace.
Queen Seondeok sat on the main seat, replacing her splendid crown with a slightly elegant silk dress with green bamboo and lotus leaves embroidered on it, which was obviously Jiangnan style.
The so-called sumptuous banquet is just "feng". A large table is filled with various dishes, most of which are Tang Dynasty dishes, but the preparation is simple and is still far from "feng"...
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously.
When he first arrived on the road, he had seen that most of the residents in the city were disheveled and in rags, and the houses on both sides of the road were low and gloomy. The smell of human and animal excrement seemed to be wafting in the air, as was the road that had just been paved with loess.
Rugged... This is a desperately poor country, how do you expect it to come up with anything good to entertain you?
Queen Seondeuk lightly opened her red lips and said with a look of shame: "Silla is poor and the land is barren, so it is inevitable that there will be some bad etiquette. I hope Lord Hou will forgive me."
Fang Jun waved his hand grandly: "It's so abrupt for me to come here, so why dare you make so many demands? Besides, Your Majesty came to the pier to greet you in person, and I'm extremely frightened. People in the Tang Dynasty valued virtue but not etiquette. Your Majesty's intentions have already made me admire you.
, I feel Silla’s friendship towards the Tang Dynasty, even if it’s just a bowl of coarse rice and a pot of water, I’ll be happy with it.”
As soon as this statement came out, there was a burst of applause at the banquet.
Look at the officials of the Tang Dynasty, what is realm? This is called realm!
Backed by the Tang Empire, which was so big and powerful, it had no intention of overpowering others. Compared with Goguryeo, the face of the Baekje envoy was many times better.
Queen Seondeok said with emotion: "Among the three Koreas, Silla is not the strongest, but it admires the culture of the Central Plains the most. Now that I see the Marquis who is so sensible and kind, I have learned the essence of Confucianism. The Marquis's prowess, even if it is a talent,
The prosperous Tang Dynasty is also outstanding, and has the charm of Park Hyuk, the founding king of Silla."
When these words came from the mouth of the Queen of Silla, it was a very high praise!
Fang Jun said quickly: "Don't dare, don't dare, Park Hyuk was a wise man in the world, founded Silla and dominated Liaodong. His ambition of 'developing virtues day by day, and netting all directions' can be seen in the sun and the moon, but he is not even as good as one in ten thousand."
, ashamed, ashamed.”
On the way here from Japan, I learned a lot about the history and customs of Silla from Jin Bomin.
Queen Seondeok said that Silla admired the culture of the Central Plains, and it was true. The ancestors of Silla were the Chenhan people, and the Chenhan people spoke similar words to those of the Qin Dynasty. For example, bows were called arcs, thieves were called bandits, and drinking was called xingzhang...
...so it is also called "Qin and Han".
Park Hyuk Ju-se was the founding king of Silla, and he was a very magical person.
As for his origin, there are many rumors among the people in Silla. It is said that one day a white horse fell from the sky and landed on the land by the sea. Then it laid an egg, and a doll popped out of the egg, which was Park Hyuk Juse...
The most miraculous thing is that Jumong, the founder of Goguryeo, and Kim Suro, the founding monarch of Gaya, another small country on the peninsula, were both born from eggs...
The baby was born very suddenly, so people around him were surprised. The village chiefs of six nearby villages rushed over and bathed the child who jumped out of the egg. Then they found that the child's body was shining, and the children in the woods were
Birds and beasts danced for him, so people named the child "Hejushi", hoping that when he grew up, he could shine on the world like the sun, because the shape of his egg when he was born was like a "ladle", and his
The surname is "Pu".
When the child was thirteen years old, the six village chiefs supported him as king and named the country "Seo Rapha", which later became Silla...
Park Hyuk Ju-se, who popped out of the egg, was regarded as a god by the people of Silla, so Queen Seon-deok compared Bang Jun to Park Hyuk-ju-se, which was an unparalleled praise.
Although it seems a little superficial, the traces of flattery are too heavy...
