Chapter 132: The Far East

Kuhan City, once the capital of the Bohai Kingdom, Shangjing Longquan Mansion, here is the alluvial plain, the land is fertile, the Mudanjiang River runs through the north and south, and there is a freshwater lake called "Yan Ya Pond" in the south, this black land was originally the granary of the Bohai Kingdom, but after the Khitan destroyed the Bohai Sea, all the people in the capital and nearby were moved, and the Kuhan City was destroyed.

Nowadays, at the site of the old city of Khuhan, craftsmen are laboring, shouting and shouting, laying stones and ramming earth, and cutting off the city wall, and gradually reappearing.

Here, it is the sixth imperial village of Qi Tianzi - Dunhua Wei, the pond of the Yan Pond, which was renamed Dunhua Lake.

In the northeast of Liaodong Province, where the Dunhuawei is located, there are many tribes of the Pulu Maoduo tribe near the locality, the Jurchen tribes of Changbai Mountain in the south, the Jurchen tribes of the East China Sea in the Far East, and the five kingdoms of Yueliji in the north.

The immigrants of Dunhuawei also moved one after another, such as Han households, Xi households, Bohai Jin households, Hui Ba Jurchen tribes, and Yidian Jurchen tribes.

In total, about 5,000 households will be moved, and at the same time, 3,000 brave men from various departments have been recruited and organized into the "Dunhua Army".

After Tongzhou was occupied by Daqi, the Yidian tribes and the Huibai tribes were also attached to Daqi, in fact, when the Qi people expelled the remnants of Tongzhou Yelu Gangsage, the Yidian Jurchen and the Huibai Jurchen had already defected and helped the Qi people and the Khitan to fight.

At the same time, Lu Ning issued an order to cancel the title of "Jurchen", and the original Jurchen departments were named after their headquarters.

In fact, these so-called Jurchen tribes are not a single ethnic group in the first place.

It is a separate such as the East China Sea Jurchen and the Changbai Mountain Jurchen, and their various tribes are not a group at all, such as the East China Sea Jurchen, which can be divided into three types according to their lifestyle, living in deep mountains and dense forests; those who live in pastures near the Ussuri River; those who live by the sea and make a living from fishing; There are different beliefs and customs, not to mention that there are many small tribes fighting each other for each way of life.

Even the Ezo people of Sakhalin are sometimes classified as Jurchens in the East China Sea.

If the so-called "Jurchen" is not referred to by a certain name, it will create the illusion that many tribes with different living customs and even many different languages are one ethnic group.

Of course, at present, there has not yet been a single figure who unifies these many tribes, and the Jurchens themselves do not feel that they are the same race.

As far as the northeastern territory of Daqi is concerned, the Jurchens of the East China Sea, the Jurchens of Changbai Mountain, and Sakhalin Island have been included in the management scope of Dunhuawei.

These tribes that have not yet been attached to them also gave them the name of "Qi people", and also sent envoys to these relatively large tribes, ordering them to pay tribute to Dunhuawei every year, that is, "one tribute per year", and "one tribute every three years" for small tribes.

After carefully analyzing the state of these ethnic groups, Lu Ning felt that it was not realistic to truly conquer these tribes in a short period of time, so he temporarily adopted a similar method of restraint, taking Huangzhuang as the central area, slowly influencing them, and gradually integrating this eastern territory into Qi Tu.

Of course, there is a large Jurchen tribe in the East China Sea that has taken in the remnants of Yelu Gong Sage, which naturally cannot be ignored, and the surrounding Jurchen tribes, which have signs of becoming stronger, naturally have to find excuses to suppress them.

In addition, the original Bohai State's Subin Mansion, that is, the twin cities in the north of Vladivostok in later generations, must go to see it, in fact, the navy has bypassed the Goryeo Peninsula to march there, and the sea charts in this area, after the battle with the Khitan, the sea army went around to the other side of Liaodong to control the Khitan seaside salt field, which is almost the same as the sea charts in this area.

And four hundred miles to the east from Dunhuawei in a straight line, is the former site of the Guest House.

If the city is built in Subinfu, Lu Ning is going to capture some Ezo Mao people from Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido as slaves.

In the Central Plains, there are also rumors about the Ezo hairy people, that is, the extremely ferocious and powerful savages who eat human flesh raw, but Lu Ning naturally doesn't see it that way, speaking of which, these hairy races tempered by the cold in high-latitude areas, under enslavement, should be good labor.

More than ten days after Lu Ning was in Dunhua, the convoy escorting the Goryeo envoy arrived at Dunhua City.

From Lelang City, Lu Ning did not return to Huanzhou, and came to Dunhua directly, since he didn't want to see the Goryeo envoy early, he could delay it, and he could think about how to reply to the Goryeo king Wang Zhao and Pingzhou Park during this period, so as to stabilize the peace of the Goryeo Peninsula to the greatest extent, and at the same time, he could go south to occupy the largest range of territory.

The Goryeo people were ordered to withdraw from the Cheongcheon River valley and recognize the Taedong River as the boundary between the two countries, so that the Goryeo Seogyeong Pyongyang City north of the Taedong River would also be ceded to the Qi State, and this goal should be achieved in the most peaceful way possible.

Help the Pyongju Park clan rebel?

Now, it is the fierce time when Wang Zhao and the wealthy clans in various places are fighting, and if the Pyeongju Park clan officially plots rebellion, many wealthy families will inevitably respond, and after all, Goryeo has just unified Samhan for more than 20 years, and the old people of Silla and Baekje may not have been convinced, and there are also many contradictions within their royal families, and civil strife continues, and the former lord Wang Yao and the current lord Wang Zhao are not normal successions.

When summoning the envoy of Wang Zhao, the lord of Goryeo, Kang Gongzhen, and the envoy of the Park family, Park Soon-seong, Lu Ning was still thinking about this question.

The two of them were naturally summoned separately, but all the way north, Jiang Gongzhen and the Park family naturally knew each other's existence.

……

On the shore of Dunhua Lake, a row of wooden houses, it is the height of summer, and in winter, the wooden houses must be protected from the cold by mud and other blanks.

Lu Ning strolled on the lakeside grass, and he was followed by Concubine Xian's folding flowers, rose red pants, and delicate red hollow boots, which looked like a classical beauty model in later generations.

Concubine Xian is away all the year round, she is used to being a maverick, how comfortable she is, how to wear it, this outfit, Lu Ning naturally feels pretty, but in fact, she can fight at any time.

"The Lord has already made up his mind?" Folded Saihua asked.

Lu Ning bowed slightly, if he wants to support the Park family in his rebellion, he really has to think about it carefully, intervene in a civil strife, if he is not careful, he will not talk about the chickens and eggs, and he will be full of hatred, and even, even if the Park family wins in the end, it is better to support a child of the Wang family to be a puppet, or to call himself the king, whether he can meet his own requirements may not be seen.

"That Thousand Autumn Palace, the lord can't ignore it." Zhesaihua said.

In Lu Ning's heart, the real wife is, of course, the queen and the three imperial concubines, and now with one of his wives, it is still strange to talk about what rank and how much the concubine should be sealed.

Zhesaihua's proposal is that if you want to support the Park family to fight for power in Goryeo, you will make the eldest daughter of the lord of Goryeo Wang Zhao, Mrs. Qianqiujeon, a concubine, and the daughter of the Park family, Park Jung-hee, as a concubine, in order to paralyze Wang Zhao, after all, since you want to support the Park family, there must be a lot of preparation work in the early stage, and it is impossible to say that there is a rebellion, and the Park family will rebel, although the Park family should have been secretly preparing for a long time.

Mrs. Qianqiudian, with her mother's surname, is very common for Wang's Goryeo, and Mrs. Qianqiudian's mother is with her mother's surname, that is, the Huangfu clan known as Queen Damu in history.

Mrs. Qianqiudian, named Huangfu Xianhui, and the daughter of the Park family, Park Jung-hee, is said to be famous in the north and south, known as the first beauty in Goryeo, I don't know how many wealthy families asked for marriage, was sent to the Central Plains, changed her name to Park Zhenji, is to make her name, more in line with the aesthetic habits of the Central Plains.

Listening to the words of the folding Saihua, Lu Ning waved his hand and said with a smile: "I look too highly at Goryeo, I will be crowned as a nobleman, or, the Qianqiu Palace will be crowned a talented person." "A talented person is one order higher than a nobleman and one order lower than a beauty.

Zhi Saihua bowed slightly, and the title she proposed naturally said a little more.

The daughter of the lord of Goryeo and the daughter of the wealthy family, when they first entered the palace, the talented and noble people did not insult them, and they did well in the future to be favored by the Son of Heaven, and then promoted.

Zhe Saihua smiled again, "I saw that Park Zhenji, what a little beauty, Goryeo, but can produce this talent, and her mother is also very beautiful, I heard that the name of Jin Xueji was also changed before coming to the Central Plains, but the person is as good as his name, but he is really as white as a snowman, and her mother and daughter have changed to Ji, I'm afraid it is...... I heard that in the land of Goryeo, Lun is often chaotic, and the lord of Goryeo is married to the same father and sister. ”

Lu Ning smiled, "That Jin family, I heard that her husband died early, Goryeo customs, she became the head of the household, she is very capable, the same clan who originally oppressed her orphans and widows gradually did not dare to underestimate her anymore, so she was also loved by her family." In fact, I listened to Na Park Shuncheng, and this time he came to Qi, and he listened to Jin's orders in everything. ”

Zhe Saihua said with a smile: "Then, the matter of the Park family, why don't the lord inquire about her?" From this, I have a good bottom in my heart. ”

Lu Ning waved his hand, "It's better for you to go!" Looking at the smile of the folding flower, he said helplessly: "Am I a hungry wolf in color, don't you know?" ”

Folding Saihua smiled but did not speak.

……

"Ding"

With the sound of the bowstring, the arrows in the hands of the young man in front of Lu Ning's imperial horse shot out, far from the bullseye of the arrow target by the lake.

Lu Ning smiled and nodded.

The young man is Mi Jifeng, the son of Mi Xin, the commander of the Dunhua Army, and his father, the young Wu Yong, unlike his father, his temper is not so irritable, and his eyebrows are clear, and Mi Xin's Xiren's facial features are not very obvious.

Mi Xin is a Xi person, but in the later Zhou period into the army, is Murong Yanzhao's subordinates, and together to surrender to Qi, the southern expedition to the north, the war is remarkable, but he also has a fatal shortcoming, bloody and murderous, in the tribe of Liaodong was exterminated, there were two incidents, Mi Xin was the commander of the officers and soldiers.

In fact, there is no national concept nowadays, such as Mi Xin, who has regarded himself as a native of the Central Plains, as a Qi person, and the same is true when others look at him.

Mi Jifeng had just been selected into Yulinwei, and he was naturally extremely nervous when he was performing martial arts in front of the Son of Heaven, and even when he rode a horse and shot, two arrows missed, which made Mi Xin's face black immediately, if it wasn't for the Son of Heaven, he was afraid that he would be beaten and scolded immediately.

In the past few days, Lu Ning has not returned to the temporary wooden house on the shore of Dunhua Lake, but has eaten and lived with Yu Linwei.

However, Lu Ning knows the general layout, the rectangular courtyard in Hebei, the main room is the bedroom of himself and Concubine Xian, and there are three left and right wings, four of which are inhabited, namely Jin Xueji, Pu Zhenji's mother and daughter; Lady of the Thousand Autumn Palace; Empress Xiao and Yi lazy.

The female official has already announced that the lady of Qianqiu Palace, Huangfu Xianhui, is a talented person, and Park Zhenji is a nobleman, but Lu Ning has not even seen their faces.

Three thousand Dunhua army, Han people, Bohai Jian, Khitan, Jurchen about a quarter, Lu Ning these days, Guandun Hua military exercises, but also made its volunteer warriors in a group of ten, with ropes and their own strength to compare, and slightly revealed the lower archery skills, which made the warriors of all ethnic groups feel fascinated.

The emperor, even if it is a high-level power figure, for the lower-class characters, the more mysterious the better, so that the lower-class characters can have a sense of mystery and fear.

But in the army, every appearance of the legendary invincible Saint Son of Heaven will make the legend of the Son of Heaven even worse.

The Son of Heaven came to Dunhuawei in person, and the "General Academy of Culture" was also one of the accompanying officials, of course, he had not seen the General Court of Literature for a long time.

At this time, Lu Ning beckoned, and Mi Xin hurriedly walked up two steps and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty." ”

Lu Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, I will select five hundred foot soldiers from your army and go to Majiling with Wen Ada." ”

Mi Xin didn't know who "Wen Ah Da" was, he was rough and didn't be too sensitive to these, so he hurriedly bowed down when he heard the words, "Yes!" ”

Ma Jiling, is the branch of Changbai Mountain that extends to the local area, on the west side of the Dunhua Basin, in the mountain range, there is a tribe of Pulu Maoduo Nuzhen, called Wuyan Department, extremely unruly.

Historically, before the unification of the Jurchen tribes, wars between the Jurchen tribes often broke out in the Majiling area, because this place was isolated from the eastern and western basins, which was extremely important.

The Wuyan tribe lives in the mountains and forests, and yesterday plundered dozens of families of immigrants from the east, and most of the dozens of Khitan soldiers who escorted the immigrants were killed, and several of them fled back to report the news.

After that, Hu Dugu secretly came to ask to see the Son of Heaven, and said that Xiao Jin, the head of the guard soldiers who was captured by the Wuyan Ministry, was originally a horse boy in Empress Xiao's family, and Empress Xiao often played with him when she was a child.

Hu Dugu also said that Niangniang had naturally forgotten these past events now, but when she heard that Xiao Jin was arrested, she was still depressed.

Lu Ning understood after listening to it, he was once a childhood sweetheart.

Thinking about it, I feel helpless, and I can't help but remember that a few days ago, the envoy of the Park family, Park Shuncheng, secretly reported to the female official who received them, saying that Jiang Yinchuan and Mrs. Qianqiudian had a personal affair, and everyone in the nobles of Kaesong knew about it.

It is estimated that this kind of big thing, the Park family does not dare to talk nonsense, otherwise it will backfire, of course, adding oil and vinegar is certain, perhaps, Qianqiu Hall and Jiang Yinchuan admire each other, this is also human, after all, a royal nobleman, beautiful and intelligent; A son of a wealthy family, a young prodigy, and talented.

Jiang Yinchuan, one of the three great men of North Korea in history, was just sixteen years old and had not yet reached the crown, and this time he came to the Central Plains, I am afraid that he not only wanted to gain knowledge, but also said goodbye to the life and death of the Qianqiu Palace.

In the eyes of many people, he must be a big villain.

This made Lu Ning's heart a little complicated, he was supposed to rescue the Khitan immigrants who were looted by the Wuyan Department as soon as possible, but now, he was ready to go in person.

Wuyan lives in the mountains and forests, and the horse army can't use it, although Yulinwei is an elite infantry soldier when he gets off the horse, but if there is damage, it will inevitably outweigh the losses, and the loss will not be worth it if he can't exert his maximum combat power in the mountain and forest warfare.

It was Lu Ning who was ready to select the elite from the Dunhua Army and go to conquer the Wuyan Department, as for the guards around him, he would take Pei Long and Pei Hu with him.
