The first thousand two hundred and forty-eight chapters of the world situation
The decisive battle between the two superpowers Song and Jin in Kaifeng not only changed the relationship between the two countries, but also changed the pattern of the entire world.
If the Jin Kingdom had won at that time, it would have been incredible. In just a few decades, they would have destroyed the two superpowers, Liao and Song, one after another, and the world would have revolved around the Jin Kingdom.
It is a pity that the Jin Kingdom fell short in the end.
In fact, there are still many uneasy factors around the Jin Kingdom. However, when Wanyan Aguda was in power, the Jin army was too strong, so these uneasy factors have been lurking and did not dare to show up. But now that Jin Taizu is dead, the Jin Kingdom has suffered another
With such a big impact, all these uneasy factors emerged.
The independence of Xixia, the resistance of Goryeo, and the growth of Yelu Dashi, all of these gave Wanyan Sheng a headache.
The Kingdom of Jin went to Beijing.
The land was covered with ice and snow, and the cold wind like a scimitar swept around.
Wanyan Sheng was sitting in the palace, his face looking very solemn. There was another person sitting next to him. This person was Wanyan Xiyin, who was known as the God of Grains. His face now does not have the calmness it used to have, because of the current situation.
It's developing in a direction they couldn't predict.
At this time, a servant came in and said, "Your Majesty, Wanyan is here."
"Let Zong Wang come in quickly."
"yes."
After a moment, Wanyan Zongwang strode in. He first saluted Wanyan Sheng.
Wanyan Sheng stretched out his hand and said: "Zong Wang, sit down quickly."
Wanyan Zongwang sat on the left side of Wanyan Sheng.
Wanyan Sheng asked with concern: "Zong Wang, your face looks much better today!"
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said: "Thanks to the Emperor's concern, after more than half a year of recuperation, I have almost recovered from my illness."
During his cat-and-mouse game, he was almost caught several times. Although he finally escaped, his body was exhausted. After the Yunsang Alliance, he fell ill again, and Wanyan Sheng was very worried about him.
Because of his health, he was asked to return to Beijing to recuperate. Wanyan Zongwang also agreed and handed over Pingzhou to Liu Yanzong, while he and Wanyan Zongbi returned to Shangjing.
Wanyan Xiyin said with concern: "Dutong must take good care of himself. Now the entire Jin Kingdom cannot lose Dutong."
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not die before that stinky cook." When he said the three words "stinky cook", he almost gritted his teeth and the words came out of his mouth one by one.
Coming out shows how much he hates Li Qi.
Originally, in history, Wanyan Zongwang was exhausted due to his annual campaigns and two expeditions to the Song Dynasty. He died of illness in 1127, that is, this year. However, his physical condition also changed with the arrival of Li Qi.
.
First of all, he did not attack the Song Dynasty again. Instead, he chose to return to Beijing to recuperate.
Secondly, he is really afraid of death now. He has been warning himself that he will never die if he does not fight to the death with Li Qi again, so he also takes very careful care of his body. This is the only reason why he agreed to return to Beijing to recuperate.
reason.
After nearly a year of recuperation, his body became as strong as before.
For the Kingdom of Jin, this is really the biggest happy event in the world, and it is also the only happy event. Of course, for the Song Dynasty, this is really terrible news. Of course, Li Qi wishes that Wanyan Zongwang would die soon, and it would be best to die at the next moment.
Although Wanyan Zongwang wanted to find Li Qi to fight again, Li Qi didn't think so. He was alone, and the opponent also had Wanyan Zonghan. If he could only deal with one, he certainly didn't want to fight with both of them at the same time.
Military genius.
Wanyan Sheng breathed out softly and said seriously: "Zong Wang, I asked you to come here today because I have bad news for you."
Wanyan Zongwang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Is it about Goryeo?"
Wanyan Xiyin asked in astonishment: "You already know?"
Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said: "I made a guess, but the worst news now is that Gao Li's side has suffered a setback." Even so, his tone was very calm.
Wanyan Sheng nodded and said: "You are right, but there has been news from Yin Shu that our army had an encounter with the Korean army around an island in the sea, but returned without success.
"
Wanyan Zongwang frowned slightly and said, "Were the losses heavy?"
Wanyan Sheng shook his head and said: "This is just a test battle, and our army's losses are not very big. However, Yin Shu can find that although the other side's soldiers are Japanese samurai, their ships are all from the Southern Dynasties. This is also
The reason for our army's defeat is that on the vast sea, the power of the Southern Dynasty's warships has greatly increased, and it will probably be difficult to destroy Japan's support."
It turns out that after Goryeo received support from the Song Dynasty and Japan, its confidence doubled. After the Song Dynasty ships sailed for Goryeo, Goryeo immediately took measures to counter the Jin Kingdom. They first drove all the Jin people who crossed the Yalu River across the river.
, but they did not dare to act rashly. They still spared the lives of these Jin people and just drove them back.
After Wanyan Sheng learned the news, he immediately dispatched General Wanyan Yinshu to lead an army of 20,000 to support.
A generation after Wanyan Yinshuke went to Changbai Mountain, he saw that the Goryeo army was already waiting on the other side. In addition, he also got news that Goryeo had received support from Japan, so he quickly sent someone to inquire about the movements of the Japanese fleet, and learned that
The Japanese fleet is docked on an island southeast of Goryeo, preparing to sail to the Yalu River.
Because Wanyan Yinshu doesn’t understand Japan. In the eyes of the Jin people, Japan is a small country. The people there are very backward and not worth mentioning at all. Based on the “intimidation” foreign policy of the Jin country, Wanyan Yinshu can
He did not want a full-scale conflict with Goryeo, so he wanted to attack the reinforcements first. Once the Japanese reinforcements were repulsed, the morale of the Goryeo army would be low, and they would surely surrender to the Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, Wanyan Yinshu mobilized the fleet, hoping to take advantage of the Japanese reinforcements coming from afar and catch the Japanese reinforcements off guard before their footing was stable.
Since the Japanese army had already entered the waters of Goryeo at that time, and the two armies were not far from each other, Wanyan Yinshuke’s sudden dispatch of troops really made the Japanese samurai a little overwhelmed. Moreover, they were stepping up efforts to consolidate the defense of the dock at that time, so at the beginning
At that time, the Japanese samurai were caught off guard by the Jin army.
Fortunately, the sergeants sent by Zongze were all experienced in water warfare. They immediately reorganized the army and with the help of powerful giant ships and firearms, they repelled the Jin army and severely defeated the Jin army.
They forced the Jin army to land and then entered the Yalu River forcefully.
When the Goryeo army saw that reinforcements had finally arrived, and they were coming with a great victory, their morale was greatly boosted.
Wanyan Yinshu could see that such a powerful naval force was blocking the Yalu River and he did not dare to march rashly. He could only inform Wanyan Sheng of the war here and wait for the central government's decision.
Wanyan Zongwang snorted: "What about Japanese reinforcements? This is clearly the Southern Dynasty that is working behind the scenes. We and Japan have always been on the same page, and the Japanese court has always adopted a policy of seclusion, and its relationship with Goryeo is also very dull. How can Japan
Troops may be sent to support."
Wanyan Xiyin said: "I think so too. The Southern Dynasty has already formed an alliance with us, but it is still playing these little tricks behind our back. It is really shameful. Now that I think about it, when Goryeo suddenly increased its troops on the Yalu River, it was probably the Southern Dynasty that was behind it.
of."
Wanyan Sheng closed his eyes slightly and said angrily: "Xi Yin, you immediately order someone to go to Nanchao to question them."
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Your Majesty, today's Southern Dynasty is not the Southern Dynasty of the past. Even if we send people there, we will ultimately return without success."
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said: "Japan's intervention is to prevent us from launching an army to investigate. As far as I know. Ever since that stinky cook started the arms trade, Goryeo has always had this kind of dealings with the Southern Dynasties and has also purchased many warships.
.We send envoys there, and the Southern Dynasty will just shirk the responsibility completely. They can say that this ship was sold to Japan or Korea in the first place. This person is not mine, and the ship is not ours. This is different from our Southern Dynasty.
It has nothing to do with it at all. I think all this is probably caused by that stinky cook. In this regard, he really has to be superior. He did the whole thing flawlessly."
Wanyan Sheng said: "I know this too, but we must give the Southern Dynasty enough deterrence. If we don't pay attention, they will only get worse. I am sending envoys this time to let them know."
Afraid of."
Wanyan Zongwang hummed and said, "What the emperor said is very reasonable. We must provide sufficient deterrence to the Southern Dynasty."
Wanyan Xiyin also felt that this should be the case. This is the case in politics. What you want to condemn is not necessarily an understanding or a result, but more about the impact of this action and an attitude. He nodded and said: "Yes.
I will arrange for someone to go to the Southern Dynasty as an envoy soon."
Wanyan Sheng asked Wanyan Zongwang again: "Zongwang, how do you think the war in Goryeo should be handled now?"
Wanyan Zongwang pondered for a while and said: "Our army has been fighting every year in the past few years, and we have suffered such heavy losses in the front. If we forcefully send troops to Goryeo, even if we conquer Goryeo, we will definitely pay a heavy price. Then we are stepping up our efforts.
The strength of the resting Southern Dynasty will further increase. This is a small gain, and if we cannot capture the Yalu River, we may not be able to completely conquer Goryeo. For the sake of a small Goryeo, it is definitely not possible to mobilize troops like this.
Of the policy."
Wanyan Sheng said: "But if we just let it go, how will the surrounding countries view our Daikin? They will think that our Daikin is no longer good, let alone take Daikin seriously. This is very important to our Daikin."
Gold is extremely unfavorable.”
Wanyan Xiyin said: "What the emperor said is that I think we should not return to the self-respecting diplomatic strategy set by Taizu towards Goryeo."
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said, "Do you mean to shelve the Baozhou dispute again?"
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Yes, we don't attack Goryeo, not because we are afraid of him, but because we have to deal with other enemies first. But Goryeo is afraid of us, and they will never dare to act rashly. If they dare to cross the Yalu River, then
We are looking for death, so we always control the initiative against Goryeo, and I believe that Goryeo does not want to be our enemy in its heart."
Wanyan Sheng said: "But Korea may not agree to shelve the Baozhou dispute."
Wanyan Xiyin smiled and said: "We can use the excuse of Taizu to send envoys to Goryeo and tell them that as long as they return the Liao people who fled to Baozhou, we will recognize that Baozhou belongs to them and Baozhou belongs to them.
and escaping household registration have always been the two key points in our disputes with Goryeo. Now we each take a step back and believe that Goryeo will definitely agree." (To be continued...)
