Chapter 712 The King of Joseon abused the people of Korea
Kaicheng, in the royal palace.
The current owner is Yang Ziqian, the king of Korea. There are two kings of Korea, which can be said to be a unique and strange thing.
The king of Goryeo was still imprisoned Wang Kai, and the Song Dynasty granted a title to the king of Korea.
Speaking of which, the King of Goryeo was canonized by the Liao Dynasty. Although he professed vassalage to the Song Dynasty, the Song Emperor never canonized him.
On the other hand, Aguda, during the founding of the People's Republic of China, granted the title of Wang Kai's father, Renzong of Goryeo.
Yang Ziqian was so satisfied that he organized a night banquet and invited ministers from the Goryeo Dynasty who favored him to the banquet.
During the banquet, there were all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and delicacies on jade plates.
The banquet room is even more luxurious, inlaid with gold and jade, with dragons, embroideries and phoenixes, and colorful brocade screens. It's indescribable wealth, luxury, and elegance.
During the banquet, the maids who came and went like butterflies were dressed in thin pink clothes and were pretty and charming.
Everyone present took turns toasting to him, and Yang Ziqian refused everyone who came, drinking until he was dizzy.
At this time, a confidant came in with a letter, walked up and said a few words in Yang Ziqian's ear.
Yang Ziqian was so frightened that he sobered up from drinking. He was so excited that he broke into a sweat.
He quickly took the letter, opened it, and stared at the paper in his hand.
Seeing Yang Ziqian's behavior, the ministers below were dumbfounded and did not dare to say a word.
Those who secretly took advantage of the maid also withdrew their hands. Some were holding wine glasses, while others were holding chopsticks. Time seemed to have stopped.
The surrounding musicians all stopped, and the palace princess who was dancing in the middle also lowered her sleeves and waited.
Finally, Yang Ziqian finished reading the letter, remained silent for a long time, and said: "Yang Shaozai of the Song Dynasty wrote to me personally, asking us, Goryeo, to send troops to cooperate with him in besieging the Jurchen Zhongjing Mansion."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar, and many of the ministers below were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
They knew best what kind of ghosts the Jurchens were. At that time, while the Liao and Jin Dynasties were fighting for hegemony, they sent troops to occupy the nine Jurchen cities.
When the Jurchens turned around, they gave their Goryeo neighbor a hard blow. Goryeo was so frightened that Goryeo quickly sent an envoy to return all the nine Jurchen cities, ceded a large area of territory, and then declared himself a vassal and paid tribute.
At the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there were no vassals, and Goryeo was just what it needed. Moreover, Aguda was preparing to go south to attack the Song Dynasty and did not want to open up a battlefield behind him, so he did not continue to pursue it.
At that time, Goryeo's elite soldiers were all in the Nine Jurchen Cities, and were chased and chopped down by hundreds of people, just like chopping melons and vegetables. The monarchs and ministers were in panic all day long, thinking that the country was about to be destroyed.
These things are happening right in front of us. Not long ago, Goryeo is now asked to send troops to attack Jin Dynasty’s Tokyo Prefecture, and then encircle Jing Prefecture.
Do you want to say that Song Dynasty thinks highly of itself, or scold them for wanting to kill you?
When Yang Ziqian saw their appearance, he felt even more irritated. He pushed the table and cursed: "Get out of here, get out of here."
After speaking, he took the letter and, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, took the Luan Yu back to his palace.
Only one court of ministers was left, at a loss.
The family system prevailed in Goryeo, and those who could receive education were often from high-ranking families.
In order to dominate the family, Yang Ziqian destroyed the foundation of the clan system and killed and demoted thirteen high-ranking clans.
In addition to the people of the Yang family in Renzhou, the people employed in the court were a group of warriors or camp villains.
Whoever can flatter others will be promoted; whoever kills powerful family members with ruthless means will be able to take power.
Over time, a group of useless snacks gathered in the court. The advantage was that they were absolutely loyal to Yang Ziqian.
In the palace, Yang Ziqian's hands and feet were cold due to anxiety. When Yang Lin wrote the letter, he knew it would make them uncomfortable, but he probably didn't think much about causing such a big reaction.
The entire Goryeo was controlled by Yang Ziqian, and his biggest backer was Yang Lin.
In desperation, Yang Ziqian ordered a batch of gold and silver jewelry to be seized, and sent an emotional letter to Yang Lin to express his loyalty.
Soon, groups of Yang's private soldiers were swarming through Goryeo, searching for rare treasures, natural materials, ginseng, and beautiful girls.
There are not many young people left among the people. Such a commotion only makes the people's resentment even more boiling.
A large-scale civil uprising broke out in the Yuansan area. Yang Ziqian took the opportunity to launch an attack, saying that it was the remnants of the powerful family who were causing trouble, and sent troops to kill, burn, and plunder.
Not only did he kill all the remaining members of the clan, he also took the opportunity to collect countless money from the people, and captured tens of thousands of civilians and sent them to the Song Dynasty.
The top figures in Goryeo never showed mercy when it came to abusing the people, and they quickly suppressed domestic conflicts.
And the Song Dynasty did not issue another order, let alone scold Gao Li, which made Yang Ziqian heave a sigh of relief.
What are the people at the bottom afraid of dying? Those mud-legged untouchables can't do anything except give birth to children quickly.
Yang Ziqian and his subordinates have never taken this to heart. As long as this land remains, there will be as many people as they want, and they will kill as many as they want—
Bei'an Prefecture, Song Army Camp.
All the soldiers were busy, preparing to break camp and move forward.
In the Ma Men Mountain area, Lou Shi and Yao Pingzhong had already fought several battles, and the old enemies were in a stalemate again.
There was no danger to defend, and the cavalry hedged. Yao Pingzhong's men still suffered some losses, but fortunately the losses were not big.
Lou Shi was also busy integrating Fu Zonghan's old troops and did not use all his strength. The two sides had a tacit understanding and were waiting for the final battle.
A map was unfolded repeatedly by Yang Lin on horseback.
Ma Yu Mountain is said to be the birthplace of Khitan.
Liu Qi said loudly: "According to legend, there was a god riding a white horse from Mayu Mountain to the east of Futu River, and a goddess driving a green ox chariot down the Huanghe River from the plain pine forest. When they arrived at Muye Mountain, the two rivers merged, they met and became spouses, and they gave birth to eight sons.
. Later, the clan gradually became more prosperous and divided into eight tribes. During every military march and during the Spring and Autumn Festival, white horses and green oxen must be used to show that the original saying has not been forgotten. This is the origin of the eight tribes of Khitan. They were later unified by Yelu Abaoji and established the Liao Dynasty."
Yang Lin chuckled and said: "This is pure fart. It will really put your face in good stead. There are no gods in these poor mountains and rivers. If there are gods and goddesses, they can only be Han gods and Han immortals."
Liu Qi also learned this from the literature class at night. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Young Master is not Chiyangzi. The gods are in the sky and the stars in the sky are descending to the earth. Why don't you believe in gods?"
Yang Lin looked at the map and said nonchalantly: "I am in the Shenxiao Palace, and the sky is filled with gods and immortals. I am on the land, and there are saints and sages everywhere. Mayu Mountain is densely covered with vegetation. When we are stationed here, we must be prepared for Jurchen fire attacks.
.”
Zongze, who had been silent for a long time, put down his telescope, frowned slightly and said: "What Shaozai said is absolutely true. We need to build a fortification in the mountains as a bridgehead for gold harvesting! After this place is pacified, we can also establish a state on the spot.
Mansion."
The Liaodong area, later known as the Northeast, is different from the grassland. It is more suitable for building a city. After it is conquered, there is no reason to withdraw the Great Wall.
Yang Lin nodded and said: "Build a Han city on the birthplace of Khitan!"
