Chapter 1391 Convince him first, talk about it later
After not seeing each other for a long time, when Xiao Tang met Wen Huanzhang again, who was in charge of the civil affairs of several military states here, he found that he seemed to have a lot of silvery white hair on his head because of complicated things, but he was in high spirits and looked good.
His complexion is also very healthy, and he seems to be living a very fulfilling life.
When Xiao Tang told Wen Huanzhang that his close friend Xu Jing had been coerced to go with the old thief Gao Qiu to conquer. Although he was almost harmed, he was now settled in Shuibo Liangshan and was unwilling to stay in the village.
He would return to Bianjing and be manipulated by the powerful traitors in the DPRK. Wen Huanzhang pondered for a moment and sighed: "Brother Xu has had many disasters in his life. He was framed by traitors at that time, and then he was recruited and made many military exploits. He was also an official in the Supreme Party of Taiyuan.
It can be said that Jieduzhi's fortune can be said to have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and he can see everything clearly. In today's world, for him to be able to unite righteousness with Xiao Renxia, even if he returns to the green forest, it is just the right place, haha
...For me, why not?"
In addition to Wen Huanzhang, Xi Sheng, Yuan Lang, Dian, Ma Tie, Ma Jin, Teng Shu, Teng Kan, Dong Xiu, Yan Youxin, Yan Youyi and other generals in charge of the horse infantry in Baozhou and other places were assisted by the generals.
The leaders who came here with Xiao Tang also gathered together. They talked about old times and there were important military matters that needed to be discussed in detail.
"After the groups of soldiers and horses that were sent to harass and explore were defeated by the troops led by Han Shizhong brothers, I heard that the Koryo Kingdom used Prime Minister Jin Yuan as the northwest military envoy and allocated 70,000 soldiers and horses to station troops to protect the state.
Twenty miles to the south. Those guys had previously sent envoys to coerce and induce us. They wanted to teach us to return to Bao, Ding and Xuanzhou. They also said that if not, the army would arrive and everyone would be destroyed. They also tried to persuade us if we were willing.
If you submit to the city, you must be promised an official salary, and all the leaders will go to the country to be awarded officials and titles according to their names... Haha, the bird envoys from the Ganfan state have sent all our brothers back, waiting for my brother to come and meet with that
The guys are having a great time."
In the government office hall, pharmacist Xi Sheng first reported to Xiao Tang that Goryeo planned to annex Baozhou and other places. His eyebrows were full of disdain. Presumably, he thought that compared with the Song, Liao, Jin and other big countries,
Is the Goryeo Kingdom, which is planning to take advantage of the drastic changes in the situation in the north, a fool?
"Being a minister of Korea? Our brothers cannot afford to disgrace that person."
Xiao Tang first joked that Jin Yuan, the prime minister of the Goryeo Dynasty and now appointed as the military envoy to the northwest, really knew such a powerful figure. After all, when he was still serving in the Bianjing court, he had also served as the governor.
Although the Xishanggemen envoys who invited Tibetan guests to visit and spread the imperial edicts were only civil servants who held concurrent positions as military generals, I have heard that during the period when the Song Dynasty and Goryeo sent envoys most closely, Jin Yuan also served as Goryeo envoys.
An important figure among the envoys (official history records that during the Zhenghe period of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Jin Yuan was sent as an envoy to the Song Dynasty. The Song court treated the Korean envoys very well, but Jin Yuan saw that the Song Dynasty was at a time when Cai Jing was advocating "Fengheng Henan" and felt that the Song court was extravagant.
He was so licentious that after returning to his country, he reported what he had seen and heard to King Yejong of Goryeo).
And this Jin Yuan was previously a diplomatic envoy, and now as the prime minister of Goryeo, he is also appointed as the military envoy to the northwest. He is also a typical Song Dynasty who uses culture to control military affairs, but is he also someone who is well versed in military affairs? Come to think of it,
not necessarily.
When Xiao Tang was thinking about it, during the military discussion, Dong Xiujiao cursed and said: "You dare to do something big, you little City God! When the Liao Dynasty expanded the city here and built a city, those guys didn't even dare to let go of a bird.
, now that you are making noises, do you really think that we are easy to bully?"
With a crisp sound of "Bang!", Qiong Yao Nayan slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Korea is treacherous and capricious, openly professing vassalage and paying tribute to our Liao Kingdom. Therefore, it was temporarily allowed to live hundreds of years east of the Yalu River.
They were secretly still flirting with the Song Dynasty! Back then, Emperor Rensheng Da Xiaowen of Liao Dynasty (Yelü Hongji, Daozong of Liao Dynasty) raised troops to investigate and retake Baozhou and other places. He was so frightened that the traitor Xiaoxiao did not dare to secretly have sex again.
Evil intentions. Now that the Liao Dynasty is in decline, Goryeo is a small country and is shameless. It flatters and bends to the golden dog, but it dares to covet the Baozhou lands!"
Although Baozhou and other three military prefectures are now occupied by "outsiders" from the Liao Kingdom like Xiao Tang, the Liao Dynasty has now been pushed down by everyone and beaten by thousands of people. Compared with its own ally, the Song Ting, which has torn up alliances and
The Jin people conspired to take over the land of Yanyun, and small vassal countries such as Goryeo actually turned their noses up and turned to the Jin Kingdom in an attempt to protect the land. Comparing the two, Arich and Qiongyao Nayan were naturally more resentful towards Goryeo.
Hate, if these military states will eventually fall into the hands of others, it is certainly better to fall into the hands of Xiao Tang, who at least plans to attack the Jin Kingdom.
Others such as Yuan Lang, Ma Er, Ma Jin and others couldn't help but swore angrily and cursed. He couldn't bear his temper and even shouted that there were so many birds. It would be better to order all the soldiers and horses immediately and fight with the Korean birds.
Formation, this is fun and refreshing.
Xiao Tang raised his hand and stopped the increasingly fierce noise in the government hall. He thought for a moment and suddenly asked Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye: "Now Bao, Ding, Xuan Sanzhou and Pi
How many Korean households moved and settled under Daohai Town?"
After hearing this, Wen Zhongrong immediately reported to Xiao Tang: "The Koryo tribe in Sanzhou and Pidaohai Town now has more than 700 households, and the population is only about 4,000. Originally, they were mostly villages, tribes, and places under the rule of Koryo.
The untouchable slaves and slaves of Yijin, as well as the remnants of Baekje, etc., also moved here after being exploited in the past, and due to the war and lack of food and clothing, they moved here. Most of the people among them were assigned farmland when they were divided into household registrations, and they made a living by farming.
In a corner of Dingzhou, there are also five hundred people from the village who are bravely wearing uniforms and patrolling the villages. What I mean is..."
Xiao Tang shook his head and said: "There is no need to worry, two brothers. Your ancestors are both Koreans, and you are familiar with the Korean language. In the past, you were responsible for settling the refugees of various ethnic groups. If the Korean country uses the trick again,
The gods deceived the ghosts and lured the remaining people of the Bohae Kingdom to cross the border and settle down, and gradually encroached on the territory to the north. Of course, you have to be more careful, and you have to work harder these days. Pay attention to the situation of the Korean immigrants. The population of about 4,000 is not included.
There are so many, I think you two can also take a look at them.
Although the Goryeo Kingdom intends to encroach on Baozhou and other places, all Goryeo people who are willing to live and work in peace and contentment here are the subjects of our territory. Just beware of secret attempts and provocations. If you find out, report it quickly. If nothing happens, just teach other peoples.
Villagers should take care of themselves and do not need to be treated differently."
Nowadays, Han Chinese, Khitan, Bohai, Xi, Goryeo, and other ethnic groups in Baozhou and other places are mixed together. Previously, Pei Xuanfa, an iron-faced man, used his sword frequently to eliminate and kill a group of people who provoked hostility among the ethnic groups.
Shameless scum, the Baozhou areas have enjoyed long-term peace and stability over the years, without any further turmoil. The last thing Xiao Tang wants to see now is to unreasonably trigger civil strife before fighting against foreign enemies.
What's more, regardless of the current situation, we need to avoid making a fuss out of a molehill, or in the future, no matter what national stance we belong to, those who, regardless of the size of the situation, are just for the sake of sensationalism, attracting attention, or even just to vent their inner darkness and depression, they will advocate and incite extreme nationalism. Scum and miscellaneous things are what Xiao Tang deeply hates.
It's just that regardless of their origins, the brothers who have become sworn friends with him, and the people who are willing to live here under his rule, regardless of their ethnic origin, are all treated as one of their own, but the Koryo Kingdom is still an outsider.
After appeasing Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye, Xiao Tang said in a deep voice: "Korea still thinks that we are just rebels taking advantage of the chaos to occupy this place, so they are coveting it again. Wanyan Agu fought back then. The Jurchen tribes jointly killed Goryeo and lost their armor. The Zhijiao soldiers were so frightened that they did not dare to look north again. Now we have to make plans and see how to eat the 70,000 people south of Baozhou City. The troops are ready..."
Note: In the official history, during the war when the Jin Kingdom annexed the Liao Dynasty, King Ruizhong of Goryeo sent envoys to the Jin Dynasty to request Baozhou and other places to be included in Goryeo. In order to avoid future worries, Aguda also considered his attitude of acquiescing to the surrender of Goryeo in the future. , so it did not intend to capture Baozhou and other places and annex them to the rule of the Jin Kingdom. Then Goryeo appointed Prime Minister Jin Yuan to appoint the military envoy to the northwest to be responsible for the northern border defense. The Liao Dynasty generals and other generals who were isolated outside the mainland died due to lack of food. Borrowing grain from Goryeo, Jinyuan took over the city on the condition that the city would be returned to Goryeo and the people would hand it over to Goryeo. Ruizong heard the news and was delighted and said that Yalu had been the boundary in the past, but it was impossible to do so. Now there is no need to fight for the war. Once the two cities are taken, the territory will be expanded. The customs and defense facilities were not extensive, so Baoju was renamed Uiju (Sinuiju, the capital of North Pyongyang Province of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in later generations). Only then did the territory of Goryeo and even later dynasties truly reach the Yalu River Basin.
The official history of Jin and Korea's attitudes towards this place and the time trajectory are generally consistent with the plot in the article. I will give a supplementary explanation...
