Chapter 144 White Mountain Black Forest I
The Manchurians are one of the nomadic tribes of the Kulen steppe called the Oghuz by the Goliaths, the Tang people called them Jianzhou slaves, the people are fierce and fierce, cruel and abnormal, and are guarded against and feared by the surrounding countries, although they have been subservient to the central dynasty for most of the time, but they also often show their rebelliousness, showing their sharp fangs to the central emperor and daring to fight for the kingdom of heaven. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They are actually a fishing and hunting people living outside the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty, among the white mountains and black forests, different from another related tribe on the grassland.
Gradually unified under the leadership of the Celestial Wolf Lord Khan Shin Luo Nuhas, he and his brother raised an army with eleven remaining armor and finally completed the first step of his political ideal of unifying most of Manchuria under the banner of resisting the oppression of the Gorling people.
In seven years, he conquered the neighboring Manchuria of Hailar and Yehe Manchuria, not only gaining a large number of slaves and land, but also gaining great prestige, and he was the first to unify Manchuria, accomplishing feats that his ancestors had never achieved.
After gaining the Yehe people, the Manchurians had transformed from a single military force dominated by heavy armoured soldiers into a more powerful new military force with cavalry as the main infantry and cavalry.
He created a system for Manchuria, Mengke Andusi, which means "banner master" in Manchu, and now he has a total of about 180,000 troops under four banners, and his ambitions are greatly expanding.
In the past few years, the cavalry of the Great Khan on the grassland captured a large amount of land in the north of the Central Dynasty, giving him a great shock, it turned out that the Heavenly Dynasty could also be defeated, although the Tang people finally defeated the cavalry of Wang Khan Taishi Yexian, and recovered all the land north of Yanjing, but still made Hai Dongqing, who lived outside the Saiwai, the original heart of submission became the heart of a wolf, why was I not born to be a king?
At the same time that the Republic sent Ryudean to Sipaan to train troops at the request of the shogunate, the wolf lord took the first step in his plot against the Central Dynasty, attacking the Wei Gaoling Dynasty on the Jinchuan Peninsula.
The Gaoling people are the Smectas in the mouth of Goliath, they are the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, after all, the wolf lord has an innate fear of the Heavenly [Dynasty], and he does not dare to really overstep, and the purpose of his attack on the Gaoling people is to tempt.
He first sent his eldest son as an envoy to Gaoling to ask for tribute, and the patriarch of Gaoling was furious when he learned that the chieftain envoy had come, saying, "We are the state of the heavenly [dynasty], the lord of the East China Sea, and the people of the four provinces, and we are also delusional, take me to remove you for the father of the Tang Dynasty." "Shoot his envoys.
The wolf lord was furious, the revenge of killing his son was counted, and the humiliation alone could not be forgiven, the Manchurians were furious, and the news reached the king of Gaoling, and the civil and military officials and generals of the Manchu Dynasty were full of confidence, thinking that the barbarians were by no means the opponents of their Xiaotian [Dynasty], however, ・・・・・・
Under the slogan of revenge for the Gaoling people for killing the Manchurian ancestors, 100,000 Manchurian iron horsemen stabbed straight into the deadliest place of the Gaoling people in mid-January, the coldest day in the north, along the frozen Jinchuan River, like a sharp blade that wanted to see blood just after it came out of its sheath.
The Gaoling border army has been fighting in the cavalry of the Yehe people all the year round, and the combat effectiveness is quite strong, but this is already the only army in Gaoling that has been in peace for a hundred years, when the border army was all defeated, hundreds of thousands of Gaoling troops did not have the slightest power to parry, only a few months, several roads were lost, Pingjing Road, Anling Road, Pyongyang Road, and Weizi Road were lost successively, Wang Daanxious, he actually cried bitterly in the court, and the guards shirked each other, and the former ministers of the main war fell ill one after another, and the prince refused to return to Beijing between the southern islands.
Where the Manchurian soldiers are going, it is difficult to rise an inch of grass, only 500,000 civilians in Pingjing Province were killed by it, and another 800,000 in the remaining three provinces were enslaved and escorted to Manchuria, but although the Gaoling army was defeated and the city was lost frequently, the resistance of the Gaoling people was also extremely fierce, and the volunteers from all over the country were surging, and the casualties of the Manchurian army were not light, and in recent months, there were already 30,000 killed and wounded.
The greater the casualties of the Manchurian soldiers, the more ferocious they were, and the heavier the killings.
The refugees, who were afraid of the Manchurian cavalry, desperately wanted to flee south, and Wang Jing's military and civilian conditions were in a great emergency.
The Acropolis, the refugees who were trapped outside the city and were not allowed to enter, the troops who fled in the city, the people who were besieged in the city and were not allowed to leave the city, and the ministers of the imperial court who had lost all their thoughts and the panicked King of Gaoling.
The Gaoling people were furious in the court, but they were extremely frightened, lest the Manchurians kill, and afraid of the victims, I don't know what to do, seeing the Manchu civil and military arguments, but also a mouthful of blood spit out, immediately fainted, the queen was shocked, and the ministers were shocked.
"The king, the king is dead・・・・・・ "Bold ・・・・・・" "Li Zhongxing, run away, the sky is about to fall・・・・・・" A group of ministers in the court, their ugliness was revealed, and the queen and the prime minister of the dynasty reprimanded loudly together before they calmed down.
The prime minister was hand-picked by the Tang Emperor, and even if the king of Gaoling did not ask the Tang people, he could not be abolished, he was angry and the ministers suddenly had the backbone, and then the arrival of the imperial doctor and the diagnosis, and after the judgment that the king was just frightened, he was in a hurry, and after a temporary coma, the ministers were completely calmed down, and the queen was also relieved.
"The king, the minister is guilty・・・・・・ as a minister of the court, he can't resist foreign insults, share worries for the king, and he is even more ashamed of the trust of his father's country and the son of heaven, and he can't defend the land." The prime minister said, the ministers were silent, and the king of Gaoling who woke up was only puzzled.
King Gaoling didn't realize what he meant at first, but after that, as the prime minister's words continued, he gradually understood, and it turned out that he was inviting his parents' soldiers to come to the rescue, and he couldn't help asking: "Aiqing, is it feasible?" ”
The prime minister sighed, "The minister can't, this Jianzhou thief is a hundred times more ferocious than the Japanese invaders decades ago, it is really like a foreign demon soldier, my people are now in hell, if you can't invite reinforcements, I'm afraid it's ・・・・・・" Speaking of this, he stopped.
At this time, the main general Gao Zhi stood up and said, "King, now this Jianzhou thief has broken through my city countless times, if there is no heavenly soldiers to rescue, my country is in danger!" ”
Speaking of which, he actually cried, speaking of which, his family has been killed by Jianzhou slaves, and he is the only one left to escape, if it weren't for the words of the prime minister, he would have committed suicide a long time ago, the general of the defeated army, he really has no shame to live, especially when he sees the suffering people all over the city.
"Yes, yes, yes, there is still a parent country to rescue, and there is still salvation." King Gaoling seemed to suddenly understand, and suddenly knew the situation, but he still had doubts, because he was afraid of being blamed by the emperor of the dynasty.
It turns out that he himself is the canonized king of Gaoling, the lord of the East China Sea, in charge of the coast of the East China Sea, you must know that the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister, and now his country has lost a lot of land, regardless of responsibility, he, the king of Gaoling, will be punished, because he is a vassal state of the previous dynasty, he was captured by one of the four Yi, and he will be blamed, such as the heaven [dynasty] blamed, and I don't know if he can be the king.
King Gaoling was in a deep dilemma, and now he had resented the original patriarch to the top, but he didn't know, even if it wasn't for the patriarch, wouldn't the Manchurians attack it? But he obviously can't think of this, or even if he does, he doesn't want to admit it, preferring to blame others for the fault.
But at this time, he couldn't help it, so he had to say again, trying to avoid it again: "But some time ago, my father's country also suffered a great disaster, and the northern Tartars actually broke the king's land and invaded on a large scale. ”
"Alas, the king, at this time, only the heavenly [dynasty] heavenly soldiers can save me, and the original king must not hesitate! If it falls into the hands of the Lord, it will be like a sheep like a tiger's mouth, and it will be too late to regret it! The prime minister had already seen the worry of King Gaoling, and couldn't help but say.
King Gaoling was full of excitement, and hurriedly said, "Go and ask the heavenly soldiers to rescue!" The minister went to relieve the loneliness. ”
"The king, the minister is willing to go." A tall and handsome young man with a scholarly temperament and a warrior's murderous intent suddenly stood up from behind, this person was wearing battle armor, but he was subject to the rules of the court, and did not carry a sword or sword.
"Isn't this the son of the late King? The time has come""Ah, indeed, Mrs. Wang, the son of Wang Shouzhi, when did this ・・・・・・ arrive, great, Lord Wang used to resist the Japanese and die, and now with this son, I will definitely be able to persuade the [Heaven] Dynasty to help me, it is really heaven that I will not die! ”
Above the court, the ministers spoke one after another, with doubts, stability, and admiration, but no matter what, they were all settled in their hearts, and with that son's son here, it was convenient to ask for reinforcements.
"Twenty years ago, in the Jinchuan River, the 20,000 heavenly army led by Li Zongshou and Li Bai defeated 100,000 Japanese people and retreated 200,000 Japanese troops. Some ministers recalled the incident.
The king of Gaoling was also shocked, it turned out that everything had to start from twenty years ago, when the Japanese were murderous.
Twenty years ago, the ambition of the wolf son of the wolf, wanting to plot Gaoling, invade the kingdom of heaven, with 300,000 soldiers and horses, 1,000 warships, dozens of generals, and ambitions, it seems that he is only waiting to win the Central Plains and be the lord of the world.
The Gaoling Kingdom was under this thief, and it was impossible to be defeated, and the first generation of the King of Gaoling, knelt and begged for three days, and the Son of Heaven who finally begged summoned him, and wept bitterly and complained about how the Japanese were doing.
The Son of Heaven was immediately furious, "This Oriental island country, which does not respect education and invades the heavens, is really a clown who jumps off the beam, and will be punished, and quickly send Li Zongshou and Li Aiqing to help my own family country to relieve the trouble!" ”
The war machine of the Tang people was wide open, and various secret agents continued to send out information about Wajima, and the war decisions of the Tang people immediately made judgments based on the intelligence.
"Hmph, good widows, a small country, with no more than 300,000 or 400,000 soldiers, it is not enough to be shocked by the saints." The report dismisses the Japanese people, which is the consistent style of the Tang people, but the situation at that time is indeed not valued by the people, the countless enemies that the Tang people confronted, which one is either a million soldiers, or a small population of the grassland people, the army is also a million, and they are all cavalry, that the Japanese invade across the sea, the cavalry must not be many, and all the exercises of the Japanese masters also come from their soil.
With the secret talks stationed on the Japanese island, all the information of the Japanese people over the years was turned out of the treasury, and after the military department continued to sort it out and send it back to the secret talks for verification, I was shocked that the Japanese people were so bold and reckless.
It turned out to be the island of the Oriental Ocean, out of the hero, this person's name is An Shi Yoshitada, he and several generals outside the Lingwai, Tokugawa Iezane, Toyotomi Ishigen under the struggle, after ten years of conquest, finally martial arts cover the whole island, except for the northernmost island, everything is under its rule, for a time the prestige reached its peak, this person is said to have lasted for thousands of years of the king of the Wa Kingdom, self-reliance, and the Wa King, that is, the self-proclaimed emperor of the Wa people - the Gaoling people in order not to anger the Tang Emperor, mistranslated it as the emperor, in fact, the emperor, In terms of etiquette, the emperor, including the emperor of the earth and the emperor of Thailand, are inferior to the emperor.
But even so, the Tang people were furious, and countless scholars also put down their pen and ink and joined the army to conquer the Japanese Kou, in their opinion, the Japanese people called themselves emperors, which was an absolute insult and offense to their empire, and only their emperor could decide who called what and what was called, and the remarks of a few ministers to subdue people with virtue were regarded as humiliation, a humiliation to the samurai, and even more a humiliation to the emperor.
And everything is actually the Gaoling people behind the troubles, maybe there are other forces that even the Gaoling people do not know, but everything is developing in the direction of prediction, and then the vanguard of the Japanese people was defeated, the country ignited a rebellion, An Shiyizhong's determination to re-fight suddenly disappeared, and he had to retreat back to the island to suppress the rebellion, and it was rumored that he died in the hands of his cronies within a few years, and after the Japanese island, the origin of the dragon temple called "a monkey on the mountain" once again overwhelmed the Japanese people, unified the island, and set up another emperor, and established the shogunate as a general, but also won the support of the Southern Barbarian merchants, the establishment of the banner of the Black Forest Army, the issuance of the military seal, the establishment of the "Emperor's Regulations" completely turned it into a chess piece, established the rule, after which it was not known, the Japanese dispersed all foreign envoys, locked the country.
And as far as the king of Gaoling knows, until recently, the Japanese and the Western barbarians have been mixed together, I don't want them to collude with each other, no matter what, it must not be my blessing anyway, but I didn't expect the Japanese people to call, the real foreign murderers came, and now they are going to ask for troops.
The port of Yanjing in the north welcomed such a strange group of guests, the Gaoling people.
The Tang Dynasty's great sense of the people was strange that there was no lack of vigilance in this city that had just been liberated from the steppe people, and the people had just experienced a nightmare.
"It's not time to pay tribute, why are the Gaoling people here?" The old man was amazed, and he could see at a glance that those who disembarked with the tribute were all Gaoling people.
At this time, a child tugged at his clothes and asked him to explain, the old man laughed, and patiently talked about the correspondence between Gao Ling and Tang.
The Gaoling envoy who arrived by boat knelt down in front of the Ying'en Gate, knowing the eunuch's notice.
The leader was the heroic general who stepped forward that day, Wang Wei, he clenched his fists at the moment, and asked him to kneel down to the Tang Emperor, yes, I feel the grace of heaven, but in front of a eunuch, it is always uncomfortable, but when I think of the people in the country, I suddenly turned into a light sigh・・・・・・
With the voice of the eunuch's duck, the group walked into the magnificent hall.
"The day before yesterday, I heard that Gaoling was attacked by Jianzhou slaves, and now it has collapsed into an army, which is really ridiculous, I have heard that Gaoling is a powerful country in the East China Sea, how can the army be so tired, and come to ask for help! But the subject country is in trouble, and it must not be saved, alas! "Today, the Tang Emperor actually doesn't want to fight, as soon as the war comes out, I don't know how to fight it, I don't know how to fight it, it is no longer necessary to have the first emperor, the treasury is abundant, where will the first emperor at that time feel worried.
The emperor signaled to Zhang Yunzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Shangshu understood.
Immediately, the military department Shangshu stood up and asked the Gaoling envoy, "My emperor wants to save him when he hears about the affairs of his country, but there are still a few questions, how many days has Jianzhou invaded, how many cities have been lost, how is the military strength of Jianzhou, what about the Gaoling army, and your country's grain and grass arsenal may support 200,000 troops now?" "I won't say anything more.
The Gaoling envoy was flustered for a while, and he didn't know what to do, and he was in a stalemate for a while.
The emperor was displeased, Long Yan was displeased, and the eunuch led by him was secretly anxious and shouted, "Bold! Why don't you answer!! ”
At this time, it was still Wang Wei, Wang Xianxi stood up and said, he actually stood up to the Tang Emperor and said, he said sadly, "Your Majesty, it has been three months since the invasion of Jianzhou, and the day is March and seventeen days, and now our country has lost several roads, and the four roads near the north are lost, as for the stored grain・・・・・・ have been distributed to the refugees who have fled, and the arsenal has long been occupied by the slaves of Jianzhou. After speaking, he bowed down again, and all five bodies fell to the ground.
Later, between the panic of Gaoling and the others, the civil and military forces of the Tang Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty had already fallen out, "How can this be true, the people of Gaoling are really bold and reckless, they are so shameless, there is no food, do you want me to prepare money, silver, grain and grass for myself?" "It's been three months since the war, and it's only now that I'm here to report it, what's the intention? I think it's a great sin without heaven! ”
There are also ministers who are puzzled, "This Gaoling people are also the country of tigers and wolves in the East China Sea, why are they so weak, it can't be that they are colluding with the barbarians, and they want to have a plot against the kingdom of heaven・・・・・・
The Manchu ministers made their own speeches, but the emperor was only silent, unable to see joy or anger.
The sound of accusation, the sound of abuse, and the voice of comfort and persuasion, everything makes the Gaoling people mixed, I don't know how to be good, if you can't ask for soldiers, then Gaoling can really be finished, Wang Wei wanted to get up again, but was pulled by the prime minister next to him, of course, the experienced old prime minister also had to follow, if necessary, he could come forward to speak, in case Wang Wei accidentally said the wrong thing, angered the Son of Heaven, but now it seems that the situation is not so bad, although it is not optimistic.
At this time, the prime minister just shook his head, and in the end, Wang Wei could only clench his fingers unwillingly.
"Alright." A leisurely voice came, and the emperor finally spoke, perhaps impatient, perhaps afraid of the Gaoling people, and his own subjects saw the joke.
Suddenly, Manchao's voice stopped abruptly.
The emperor seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of the ministers, and his slightly gloomy face was not shown to the Gaoling people, but showed the spirit of the son of heaven of the great power of the Heavenly [Dynasty], and said arrogantly, "You are too disrespectful, why should I care about such a trivial matter, the subject country has no grain, grass, money and silver, and it is absolutely enough to draw one or two from the treasury of our dynasty, this time the Jianzhou slave invaded Gaoling, but it is actually a bad intention for my Tang Dynasty, I have decided that I will send troops immediately, and it is not allowed to be discussed!" ”
The Gaoling people showed a kind of surprise and gratitude, and the emperor's eyes flashed a light, he was very satisfied with the demeanor of the Gaoling people, as for the money and troops, it was necessary, otherwise where is the majesty of the kingdom of heaven, where is the majesty of the Son of Heaven in the four seas, where is the courage to be proud of the four yi?
"Your Majesty, no!" There are many ministers who speak out against it.
"Retreat!" At this time, the emperor used a trick that the faint monarch could use.
The ministers who opposed it had to be stunned and didn't know what to do.
On the main hall, the mood of the Gaoling people who are kneeling may be the most complicated at the moment, although they begged for the heavenly soldiers, but the burned Zhuang family can be returned, and the relatives and compatriots who have passed away can never be resurrected.
Binyi Division, the place where the Tang Dynasty entertained the vassal ministers of the country.
In front of the window, looking at this prosperous city that has completely recovered from the ravages of the grassland people, I also sighed in my heart, the strife in the world will not end anywhere!
The old prime minister sighed leisurely, compared to Wang Wei's resentment, but he was an analysis of everything with another side, when the Gaoling people acted as the helpers of the heavenly kingdom, monitoring the countries of the East China Sea, at that time, including the Japanese and the current Manchuria, only Gaoling was followed, and now with the decline of the power of the father's country, everything is not as good as before.
Looking at this magnificent city, I especially felt a trace of decline, under the magnificent city walls, the restless hearts, this empire, this dynasty, there is finally a faint sense of silence, will the kingdom of heaven also decline?
Wouldn't it? The Central Dynasty has changed for many generations, but by that day, the big ship really capsized, and he Gaoling has no backer, what will happen to those nationalities who have been bullied by the Gaoling people on weekdays? Is it like the steppe people, killing all the males? Or like the pirates of the Japanese people, they are constantly harassing.
When the Tang people attacked the Japanese three times, they sent troops and food, brutally slaughtered the civilians of the Japanese people, and raped the women of the Japanese people・・・・・・
Unconsciously, it was late at night.
In the end, it was just a chuckle.
On that day, the only way to be a courtier is to die for his country, his mother's country, or his father's country.
