Chapter 1181: Playing with the palms of the hands (seeking a monthly pass)
Now that the Kingdom of Jin has once again become a brotherly ally with the Song Dynasty, and Xixia has already surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, then the only country around the Kingdom of Jin - Goryeo. If it is true as he said, it seems that
The Kingdom of Jin is ready to take action this time.
In the past, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom also had land disputes, which had common interests with our Goryeo. But now, the Song Dynasty has regained the lost land, and this common interest has disappeared. No, no, this is not good for Goryeo.
The situation is really bad.
Park Zhiqian almost cried as he thought about it. They originally wanted to fish in troubled waters, but in the end they lost all the rice. A muffled sound came from his throat.
No way, he was so scared. Li Qi almost laughed, coughed a few times and said, "Brother Pu?"
"ah?"
Pu Zhiqian was startled for a moment, then he realized what he was doing, sighed bitterly, and said: "The Privy Councilor really knows things like a god."
Li Qi pretended to be surprised and said: "Could it be that the Kingdom of Jin is sending troops to your country?"
Pu Zhiqian shook his head and said distressedly: "Not yet, but I will see soon. The Jin Kingdom is really bullying people too much. They even sent people to farm east of the Yalu River. Their evil intentions are very obvious."
Li Qi pretended to be surprised and asked: "What's going on?" He only knew that Gao Li wanted to take advantage of troubled waters, but he didn't know the specific details yet.
Park Zhiqian immediately told the whole story.
It turned out that after Wanyan Sheng got in touch with Zhao Kai and reached an agreement, he had already started to take action against Goryeo. In the past, the area east of the Yalu River was controlled by the Liao Kingdom. Later, Goryeo took advantage of the defeat of the Liao Kingdom by the Jin Kingdom and occupied it.
They occupied the area east of the Yalu River and requested that the Yalu River be used as the boundary with the Jin Kingdom. However, the Jin Kingdom never recognized Baozhou as belonging to Goryeo. Because the Jurchens also lived in the Changbai Mountains for a thousand years, the boundary has never been clearly defined.
But in any case, Baozhou is now under the control of Goryeo.
However, when Goryeo saw the war between the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, they wanted to take the opportunity to consolidate this territory. After all, they felt guilty because Baozhou was previously occupied by the Liao Kingdom and was not theirs, so they quickly increased their troops to Baozhou.
This also directly affected the war situation between Song and Jin. However, Goryeo did not know the hidden meaning, but they now know that the Jin Kingdom was very angry and the consequences were quite serious.
They sent troops to the Song Dynasty and returned with a disastrous defeat. This made the whole Jin Kingdom feel ashamed and angry. But they also knew that if they continued to fight against the Song Dynasty, it would be difficult to win. However, your little Goryeo also stepped in.
This was really too much of a deception, and everyone in the Jin Kingdom agreed that Goryeo should be taught a lesson.
Although Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan were in the Yanyun area at the time, they still reported. This time, Goryeo must be forced to surrender.
Wanyan Sheng was naturally furious, but since the generals were all in the Yanyun area, it was unrealistic to attack Goryeo immediately. He had to wait for Wanyan Zongwang and others to come back before carefully discussing countermeasures.
However, it is impossible to do nothing. We have to express our feelings. Wanyan Sheng decided, didn’t you send more troops to protect the state? Then I stationed troops in the Yalu River. Because Goryeo never surrendered, Wanyan Aguda stayed in the Yalu River.
The nearby soldiers did not move, so Wanyan Sheng asked those people to build a bridge across the Yalu River. He also asked nearby farmers to cross the river directly and go to Baozhou to farm.
This is really bullying. It is clearly telling Gao Li that if I, Daikin, didn’t say this, you don’t want Baozhou.
With the support of the army, the people of Jin State went to Baozhou in droves to farm, and even drove out the people of Goryeo. Goryeo was still afraid of Jin's move and did not dare to fight, but it was impossible not to fight, and all the land was given to Jin.
If the common people of the country have occupied it, wouldn't it mean that the control of Baozhou has been handed over to others.
But the strength was really far behind. Although Goryeo had heavy troops in Baozhou, they did not dare to act rashly when they saw the people of the Jin Kingdom farming aggressively on the Yalu River.
The Kingdom of Jin just got it right. Goryeo is a typical person who accepts the soft and fears the hard. If you have the guts, just touch my people and try?
Korea really doesn’t have this kind of thing.
This made the people of Baozhou feel very aggrieved, and they even lost trust in the Korean army. You have so many soldiers here, and other people's soldiers are still on the other side, but our land has been robbed, and you turn a blind eye. What a big deal.
?
What a great disgrace to the country!
After the Song and Jin Dynasties formally reached an alliance, Wanyan Sheng became even more arrogant. He directly sent an envoy to Goryeo and ordered the King of Goryeo to take an oath. The relationship between the two countries should be proportional to that of father and son. In addition, he would send those who had fled to Baozhou.
, whether it is the former Liao soldiers or the common people, as long as the front does not belong to Baozhou, all will be returned, no one is missing. Also, the people of Dajin can cross the river to farm, but you have to stay away. As for the annual tribute, then
Let’s talk about it another time.
In the past, the Jurchen people regarded Goryeo as their father, but now they want Goryeo to regard the Jurchens as their father. This gap is really too big, and no one in Goryeo can accept it. However, the power of the Jin Kingdom is there, and Goryeo does not dare to fight, so it can only turn to the Song Dynasty.
Looking for help.
In fact, when Pu Zhiqian was sent as an envoy, he did not know that Song and Jin had reached an alliance. He only found out after arriving in Laizhou. This made him even more panic-stricken. The situation became increasingly unfavorable to Goryeo. He took a few people and left the main force and flew all the way.
He rushed and rushed to Kaifeng.
After hearing this, Li Qi kept his expression and said calmly: "It's this move again."
Pu Zhiqian was stunned and said: "What do you mean by the envoy's words?"
Li Qidao: "Don't you know that these are the three axes of the Jin Kingdom? They want money, they want land, and they want people. When they have almost what they want and it's difficult to ask for more, they will send troops to fight you in order to get it.
More benefits, that’s what the Kingdom of Jin did to us, the Song Dynasty.”
Pu Zhiqian thought about it and realized that it was true. He complained even more in his heart and said, "What can we do?"
"this---."
Li Qi was about to speak but stopped, Pu Zhiqian hurriedly said: "The Privy Councilor has something to say, but there is no harm in saying it."
Li Qi shook his head and said, "It's better not to do it. After all, this is a major event for your country. It's not convenient for me, an outsider, to intervene in my comments."
Is there any situation worse than now? Besides, I came to you just to let you interrupt. Park Zhiqian said anxiously: "It's just you and me here, just treat it as a private chat, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I
I also really want to hear the Privy Councilor’s advice.”
Li Qi hesitated for a while and said, "Then I'll just tell you."
"Please say."
"Actually, I don't have any good suggestions, but they are just some words of experience." Li Qidao said: "There is a saying that if you extend your head with a knife, you will also shrink your head with a knife. The most frustrating thing is that raising a tiger will cause trouble. If you give him money, you will give it to others.
, give him land, and when you fatten him up, he will come and kill you. It’s shameful to say that. We in the Song Dynasty have done such stupid things before."
The implication is that no matter what happens to you, Goryeo, you must not surrender. Surrendering is also death, and the Kingdom of Jin will not let you go.
After all, the aftermath of the bloody lesson of the Song Dynasty was still there, and Pu Zhiqian strongly agreed with Li Qi's point of view. He said: "What you are saying is that our emperor is actually unwilling to surrender to the death, but--sigh."
You said it so nicely, but the Kingdom of Jin only sent a few people there, and you were so frightened that you were in chaos. If they really sent troops, you wouldn't be able to wet your pants. Li Qi remained silent.
Pu Zhiqian saw that Li Qi was so ignorant. He could only continue: "It's just that our national strength is not as good as yours. How can we withstand the iron hoof of the Jin soldiers!"
Li Qi sighed and shook his head silently.
Pu Zhiqian looked at Li Qi, hesitated for a while, and said: "Privy Councilor, you and I are as close as brothers, and we have always been very friendly with each other. Now that Goryeo is in danger, I hope that your country can intervene."
Mediation? You can go out in your dream, and you can consider beating me up. Since you came to my door to let me play, I won't be polite. Li Qidao: "To tell you the truth, in fact, we have also briefly discussed the dispute between you and the Kingdom of Jin.
We have heard about it, but that’s it. Our emperor also wants to help you very much, but the question is, do you think the Jin Dynasty will listen to us? If they would listen to us, they would not send troops to us in the first place."
Also, how could the Kingdom of Jin listen to the Kingdom of Song? Pu Zhiqian's heart was filled with despair and he was helpless.
He didn't speak, and Li Qi certainly didn't speak, because Li Qi knew that the other person must be more anxious than him, and he was quietly sipping the tea.
When Pu Zhiqian saw that Li Qi had no expression, he guessed that the Song Dynasty would definitely not want to wade into this muddy water. He was extremely disappointed. But if you don't speak, then there must be no hope. After hesitating for a while, he said: "No matter what, I will never go to Korea."
We will give in. I hope your country can take into account the past friendship between the two countries and help us Goryeo."
If you don't give in, I will definitely help you. You can rest assured. Li Qi laughed evilly in his heart, but said: "I have already said that if we can help, of course we will. The problem is that Jin Guo
They won't listen to us."
Park Zhiqian said: "What I mean is that if the Jin Kingdom really sends troops, I hope that your country can also send troops to support me, Goryeo."
"are you serious?"
Li Qi looked at Park Zhiqian with wide eyes.
Park Zhiqian nodded affirmatively.
Li Qi sighed: "We also want to help you, but you also know that we have signed a brotherly alliance with the Kingdom of Jin. If we send troops, it will definitely cause strong opposition from the Kingdom of Jin. This - sorry, we are really helpless.
"
The country was facing a crisis, and Pu Zhiqian didn't care about it anymore, so he said: "Your country is an ally with the Jin Kingdom, but your country is also an ally with our Goryeo. Now that we are in trouble, can your country just stand by and watch? This is very important to us."
It’s so unfair.”
Li Qi looked embarrassed and said: "What you said makes sense, but the problem is that you are all allies of the Song Dynasty. No matter which side we help, the other side will be dissatisfied, and we will also have difficulties."
Park Zhiqian said: "But I think your country should stand on the side of justice. The Jin Kingdom is unreasonable and provokes wars everywhere. In the past thirty years, all the troubles have originated from the Jin Kingdom, and your country is also one of the victims. At this time, if
If the Jin Kingdom is not stopped, it will inevitably cause greater chaos. Moreover, do you hope to see the Jin Kingdom become more powerful than it is now?"
Your mother is not stupid enough to use this to convince me! Li Qi pondered and nodded slightly.
Pu Zhiqian was overjoyed and said: "Did the Privy Council agree?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Although what you said is not unreasonable, have you ever thought about how many people will be harmed once the Song and Jin countries go to war again? The emperor has just ascended the throne, and he does not want to start a war. I, the Song Dynasty
You also need to recuperate, and the people of the Song Dynasty will not agree to it. Your Majesty, he must consider the feelings of the people. We really want to help you, but it is impossible to send troops."
Park Zhiqian's heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, and his eyes showed a trace of despair.
Forget it, forget it, don't scare him. If you scare him any more, you might scare him to death. Li Qi changed the topic and said, "But the outcome has not been decided yet."
Pu Zhiqian said hurriedly: "Can you please give me some advice from the Privy Council?"
Li Qidao: "Have you forgotten the friend I introduced to you last time?"
Park Zhiqian was slightly stunned and said uncertainly: "You---you mean Japan?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Exactly."
"this---."
Park Zhiqian seemed a little hesitant, not to mention whether Japan would help him. The problem is that Japan is only so big and has so many people. Even if Japan agrees to help him, it will not be able to defeat the Kingdom of Jin!
Li Qi could see the worries in his heart at a glance and said with a smile: "If you can persuade Japan to help, I can guarantee that you, Korea, will have nothing to worry about."
