At that time, Shen Wuhua naturally had the same thoughts as Li Xingchen. Only his own people could enter the harem, and he was not afraid of seeing anything.
But Shen Wuhua at any other time would not have had such thoughts.
Sister Shen realized that she had fallen into Li Xingchen's trap and squeezed his hand. This was the biggest punishment she could express her dissatisfaction with this bratty brother.
Li Xingchen grinned, held Shen Wuhua in his arms and sat on the edge of the bed, reading the memorial.
It's eight hundred miles away, there's no way he could turn a blind eye.
However, it was Yuchizhen who sent it instead of directly asking for a meeting with the Taiwei Mansion, which shows that the matter is not yet critical enough that a decision must be made as soon as possible.
With the improvement of Dahan's infrastructure, roads in many places have become smoother. The establishment of post stations and the development of water and land transportation have made the transmission of messages faster.
Water transport does not have many advantages over fast horses, but water transport has a large transport volume and cheap transport costs. Therefore, bulk goods tend to be transported by water. As a result, the number of large fleets on the road has been reduced a lot, which is equivalent to In disguise, the speed of postmen and emissaries has been accelerated. Even in remote areas, messages can be sent to and from the capital much faster, including Youzhou, which has already established connections with Qingzhou by sea.
All the goods in Youzhou go by sea, and the official roads are smooth, so traveling eight hundred miles a day is not a dream.
But the consequences of this are...
Li Xingchen read what the memorial said. Goguryeo had united with the Wuji people to force the Khitan people to fight and retreat eastward. Therefore, the civil and military forces in Youzhou could not sit still and begged to send troops.
This incident was actually expected by Li Xingchen and the Taiwei Mansion.
Although the big man expressed his stance, there has been no actual action - there are still actual actions, but it was finalized by Li Xingchen and the Taiwei Mansion yesterday, so it must not be implemented yet. It is estimated that it will take four or five days to reach Youzhou. Only in this way can the news be received - so it is reasonable for Goguryeo to eagerly attack the Khitan.
"Wejiren, I didn't expect that it actually existed. I only found this name when I was sorting out history books before." Shen Wuhua squeezed Li Xingchen's shoulders from behind. After seeing the content of the memorial, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Tell me about it?"
Li Xingchen was a little curious. Compared with the Khitan, this name felt strange to him. Shen Wuhua immediately smiled. It turned out that His Majesty did not know something. He thought that His Majesty knew everything from heaven to earth.
In fact, this name should also have appeared in the previous report from the General Office on the situation in Liaodong, but Li Xingchen was focused on Hexi at the time and did not take a closer look at it.
Shen Wuhua said softly: "The Wuji people were originally a branch of the Sushen people, and their status in the Sushen country was not high. However, later the Central Plains was turbulent, and Liaodong was also affected by the rise of Xianbei. As a Sushen people, The Yi Lou Kingdom was also destroyed, and the Wuji people who were subordinate to Yi Lou took the opportunity to rise up and occupy the old land of Yi Lou.
The word "Wuji" means woods in their language. They mostly gather in the mountains and forests and make a living by hunting, so it is appropriate to call themselves "people of the forest".
In recent years, Goguryeo has expanded to the north, forcing the Khitan to move eastward and Wuji to move north. Now the Khitan plans to rely on the Han to resist Goguryeo, and Wuji and Goguryeo jointly oppress the Khitan in order to regain some land in the future. It’s also reasonable.”
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows, probably thinking of something.
Wu Ji, this name is really strange.
But at this point in history, at this position, it stands to reason that there should be another nation that is ready to take off.
That’s Mohe!
After Mohe, Sushen and Yilou, they took advantage of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to conquer Goguryeo and emerged in the Northeast, becoming the overlord outside the Pass.
At the same time, this Mohe person is also the ancestor of the Jurchens in later generations.
Wuji obviously has the same origin as Mohe.
Li Xingchen didn't know if there were any deviations in the inheritance of the saying, or if the names were different in each era, but he was certain that the Wuji people who were so out of the ordinary must be the Mohe people.
Wuji is the predecessor of Jurchen.
The Khitan was the southern branch of Rouran that was defeated by the Turks.
The northern branch of Rouran fled to the grasslands under the Xing'an Mountains and the Waixing'an Mountains, which is also located to the north of where the Wuji people are now entrenched. This is the source of Mongolia.
Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolia... After the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the three ethnic groups that have been entangled with the Han Chinese for thousands of years have all stepped onto the stage of history.
Since everyone is already here, let's blend into China obediently.
Li Xingchen smiled.
"The situation in Liaodong is not very good, but Your Majesty is so confident?" Shen Wuhua was very surprised.
She has not been idle since she took over the internal affairs and retired behind the scenes. In addition to helping Lechang manage the harem, she is also responsible for collecting information and books. The royal book collection is all under the management of Shen Wuhua.
There are countless lost classics and restored ancient books.
There are records in many books about the development of these tribes in Liaodong, and Shen Wuhua was even able to figure out the changes of these tribes in front of him.
The war in the Central Plains has lasted for three hundred years, but this does not mean that the Northern and Southern Dynasties did not have any exchanges with other countries outside Kyushu. The Southern Dynasties were still developing Lingnan, and the Northern Dynasties were still fighting the Turks on the grasslands. Therefore, the Northern Dynasties also had
Many documents record the changes in tribes and kingdoms in places such as Hexi and Liaodong.
Therefore, Shen Wuhua also knew that although these tribes in Liaodong did not have much of a climate, they lived in the mountains and forests and had little contact with the outside world. The understanding of them in the past dynasties was limited to "a certain country disappeared, and a certain country appeared again."
"Country" has been involved in major events such as changing dynasties.
However, this also means that these tribes naturally have no good feelings and sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty and the Central Plains Dynasty. It is not easy to fight them in the deep mountains and old forests.
So Shen Wuhua analyzed it from her own perspective and felt that the Battle of Liaodong was far from easy to fight. His Majesty's attitude made her a little confused.
Li Xingchen said lightly: "Goguryeo is only one of the three Koreas. It is a small country on the peninsula. It is a small country with few people, but it has the heart to swallow heaven. But what is the use of occupying the territory of Liaodong? Who among the Khitan and Wuji can truly surrender? The whole land is full of people.
Can the mineral resources really be used for personal use? The land is so fertile that someone can really cultivate it in just a few months or a year? This is impossible."
After a pause, Li Xingchen spread his hands: "The hearts of the people are weak, and the more land they occupy, the more disloyal people will be around, and the battle line will be longer. So there is no flaw, I can only wave it."
In just a short time, all of this can fall apart.”
Shen Wuhua was stunned.
For her, who has been in the palace for a long time, the outside world is very vast, but after all, she still lacks a little experience and knowledge.
