Chapter 477: Waiting for good news, the aggressive Chenluo Kingdoms
Quan Cong thought for a while and then said: "Of course, I, Jiangdong, have to thank the Chenluo Kingdoms (later Silla). Although these countries are small, it is still very useful to pool their strength."
An hour later, all the people in front met Wei Jun...
Quan Cong continued to stay here, ordering his soldiers to set up camp and wait for the news from the front. Dajin Port was indispensable to the Wei army whose navy was not strong, but it was very important to them in Jiangdong.
No matter whether the outcome of the war is victory or defeat,
If they win, they can transport more Jiangdong soldiers and supplies by sea to expand their victory. If they lose, they can retreat from here. The Wei army cannot catch up with the Wu army by sea.
Quan Cong picked up a few bamboo slips in the big tent that recorded matters related to the Chenluo Kingdoms and read them carefully. After all, whether it was the generals of the opponent Wei army or his own allies, he had to know more about them in order to have more chances of winning.
……………
Quan Cong murmured to himself while looking through the bamboo slips: "The Chenluo Kingdom is really interesting. Although the country is small, it is very combative."
The rise of Silla in the world of Three Koreas was actually a long process.
The countries on the Korean Peninsula were in conflict, and it was important to hide one's strength and bide one's time. However, the perseverance of the king and the people being united and working hard was the inner driving force that led Silla from a small country to the hegemon of the peninsula.
After the death of the founder Park Hyuk, a generation of heroes will be ushered in. His emergence is also full of legend.
During his reign, the royal family became more mysterious, the country's name was changed to Jirim, drastic political reforms were carried out internally, and the clarion call of war with Baekje and Gaya was sounded externally.
The historical records of the two generations of kings after the founder of Silla are actually a kind of transition, which is to focus on portraying the fourth generation of heroes, King Jiejie.
In the second and third generation monarchs of "The Chronicles of Silla", the King of Liberation is like the elephant in the room, difficult to ignore, and becomes the protagonist who is not the protagonist.
After the death of Silla's founder Park Hyuk Ju-se, the successor to the throne was Namhae Ji-seung.
Jijixiong means "witch" in the Silla language. People respect witches who work with ghosts and gods and offer sacrifices, so they call them respected elders.
However, the history of such a respected elder, together with his legitimate son, the third-generation monarch Julini Shijin, is somewhat of a foil.
The first foil is the first ancestor, Nan Xie Ci Xiong. The beginning of this chapter is that when Le Lang heard that Park Hyuk Ju Se passed away, he immediately raised troops to invade and surrounded the capital Jincheng several times.
Nanjie Cicixiong said to the people around him: "The two saints have abandoned the country, and they are only supported by the people of the country. They are in the wrong position, and they are as afraid as wading into the river. Now that neighboring countries are invading, it is unethical for them to be alone. What should they do?"
"Invasion from neighboring countries" is in sharp contrast to the reign of the previous kings of Shengming and Shenwu. At that time, whether it was the Japanese state, Lelang or Mahan, they were all courteous to Xu Luofa and did not dare to advance.
"It is not moral to be alone" does have something to say. Ci Cixiong seemed a little confused and asked "What to do?" It was a bit rude (fortunately, Lelang's army quickly retreated on its own).
The first major event recorded by Nanjie Cicixiong was none other than the establishment of the Shizu Temple.
This can be regarded as the beginning of the sanctification of the ancestor in reality. Since then, kings of all dynasties have mostly paid homage and offered sacrifices to the temple of the ancestor after ascending the throne. At this moment, Nanjie is completely shrouded in the huge shadow of the ancestor.
The next two paragraphs in the history book suddenly insert records about a man named Tuojie. One is "The king heard about the virtuous Tuojie and married his eldest daughter." This is a stroke of genius and goes straight to the subject. There is no explanation here about Tuojie.
Who is it, and there are no details to check, that Ci Cixiong betrothed the eldest princess to him when he heard that Tuojie was a virtuous man? We probably have to wait until Tuojie has done something to realize this mystery. In short, Tuojie became Nanjie
This is an important step for Cicixiong's son-in-law.
The other one is even more important. Two years later, "Taojie was appointed as the assistant and entrusted with military and state affairs." The post of Daifu was only seen in Tuojie and Hugong. Academic circles believe that it is similar to Yishan or Yishan after the reform of Silla officials.
The highest ranking officer is the head of all officials.
The rest of "Nanjie Benji" are basically negative records.
The most detailed one is a battle. The Japanese invaded from the sea. They sent more than a hundred ships to plunder the households on the seaside.
In ancient wars, snatching manpower was even more important than occupying land, so Xu Luofa "sent six powerful troops to resist", that is, dispatching elite troops to fight.
The surrounding Lelangs then joined forces. Knowing that Xu Luofa was empty inside, they began to march quickly to attack Jincheng.
This is another very critical moment.
What are Nanjie’s countermeasures? I can’t see it.
Fortunately, a meteor crashed into the enemy's camp at night, scaring the enemy back.
What's interesting is that the Lelang soldiers ran away, but they stationed their troops on the Langchuan River. This river was very close to the capital. They built twenty large stone barriers on the riverside before leaving.
At this time, a thousand elite men from the six tribes who had finished a fierce battle on the coast east of Toham Mountain were chasing after them. Seeing these piles of rocks, they knew that the opponent was outnumbered, so they stopped pursuing. The battle was not defeated, but it was not won.
There were droughts, locust plagues, and famines in the capital in the 15th year of Nanjie, a plague in the 19th year, no ice, and a locust plague in the 21st year. It seemed that there were no good years. The era of Nanjie was indeed lackluster, and the history books turned over and entered a new era.
Wang Ji. However, the elephant in the room - the King of Liberation seems to be more imminent.
The third generation of monarchs was Julini Shijin.
The title of Nishijin is different from the titles of Juxigan and Cicixiong, respectively, which were exclusively assigned to the founder Park Hyuk and the second-generation monarch. It has been passed down for a long time, and many subsequent monarchs have adopted this title.
The ancient Silla language means "teeth management", which originally refers to age and implies wisdom.
There is a story here, and liberation appears frontally for the first time.
When Nan Jie passed away, Prince Ru Li should of course succeed him, but history books say that because Dai Fu Jie Jie was "always virtuous", the new king "relinquished his throne".
This is the dilemma at the beginning of the Confucian Era. The person favored by the former king became a potential candidate for the throne.
Faced with this situation, Jiejie suggested to the new king: "The divine weapon is a great treasure and cannot be tolerated by mediocre people. I heard that the sages and wise men have many teeth, so I tried to eat them with bread."
He did not say that I was not virtuous enough or that I was not a descendant of the late king, but simply said that those who are qualified for the throne should not be mediocre.
There are two editing plans for this section of the history book. One is to "try to eat it with bread" reading as a commentary, which is more complete, with both reasons and suggestions; the other is the opposite, which is to
This was interpreted as the actions of everyone. They took his words, "Sages have many teeth" as a basis and put them to the test directly.
In any case, the result was that Confucianism left more teeth marks on the cake, so Shijie led his ministers to appoint a new king. This clever approach added another wise virtue to the humble new king.
ps. I wish all book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy reunion.
