Chapter 292: The Three Kingdoms of Korea

With only one piece of water, it will be separated by ten fogs. -----------Clear. Huang Zunxian "The New Ugly Japanese"

It is said that Gongsun Zhi arrived in Xiangping as the messenger of Gongsun Ji, and summoned Gongsun Du to lead the army to invade the Red Mountain in Liaoxi, Gongsun Du and his son Gongsun Kang were as excited as seeing a bloody lamb, intending to take advantage of Liu Yu's army to go south, take the Red Mountain in one fell swoop, and even go straight to Youzhou, so as to enter the prosperous area of the Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, all the people under Gongsun Du also have a Gongsun Mo who eats inside and out. He was the general of the Gongsun family at the same time as Han Hao and Zhang Chang, and Han Hao took the lead in leading troops into the Korean Peninsula and became the main force in Goguryeo after becoming independent. Gongsun Mo leaked the news to Han Hao, who gathered heavy troops and prepared to go north to Xiangping, even if he couldn't take Xiangping, at least occupy Gongsun Du's seaport and open up the sea passage from Goguryeo to Qingzhou.

Han Hao's plot was not secret, and he was detected by Goguryeo's sworn enemies, Baekje and Silla. Baekje is far away at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula and has already traded with Cheongju by sea, but from time to time Gongsun Du sent people to rob the shipping routes, and he was eager to expand northward, destroy Silla and Goguryeo, and then go to fight Gongsun Du.

Baekje is a country established in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula by the Buyeo people, who originally lived in ancient northeast China, and the eight major clans are: the Sha clan, the Yan clan, the Ji clan, the Xie clan, the Zhen clan, the Guo clan, the Mu clan, and the Su clan. The ruling class of Baekje is the Buyeo people, which is different from its lower class, the Samhan people. The Samhan people in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula are a different ethnic group from Buyeo. Baekje ruled in the southwestern part of the Korean Peninsula, bordering Goguryeo and Silla to the east. The capital city is located in Bacheng, also called Guma City. In addition, there are five separate capitals, the middle one is called Kosha Castle, the east one is called Toan Castle, the south one is called Kuchi Shiro Castle, the west one is called Kenzen Castle, and the north one is called Kumatsu Castle.

Baekje was established in the area of Obifang in the late Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Baekje ruled the lower Mahan tribes, and it was a part of the Buyeo people in the northeast who established Baekje. After the Buyeo people invaded the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, they formed the upper class, while the Mahans, another ethnic group with a completely different language and culture, were the lower class of the state.

In the official history, Baekje's heyday encompassed most of the West Korean Peninsula, as well as western Liaoning and northern Hebei in China. The northernmost country once invaded Lushan in Buyeo Province. Baekje was also a maritime power, with political and trade with China and Japan by sea. Later, Baekje was destroyed by the combined forces of the Tang Dynasty and Silla. In the three years since its demise, Baekje has launched a vigorous revival movement, but it still ended in failure.

Baekje is composed of Buyeongyeo and indigenous Koreans, and the upper class is Buyeo. With the deepening of ties between the three kingdoms (Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje), China and the U gradually absorbed the Silla people, Goguryeo people, U people, and Chinese.

Baekje has fertile land, mild climate, superior water conservancy conditions, and relatively developed agriculture. Handicrafts such as sericulture and textiles have also developed. Foreign trade was relatively developed, not only with Goguryeo and Silla, but also with the Han Dynasty and proto-Japanese across the sea. Baekje uses Chinese characters, and the letter from the king of Baekje to the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty says: The minister and Goryeo will be the first to leave the husband. It also directly denied that Baekje came from Goguryeo.

During the reign of King Gul, the institution of the state was further consolidated. King Konshogu expanded his territory northward through a war with Goguryeo, during which the Baekje prince killed the king of Goguryeo (i.e., the original king of the old country) and wiped out the remnants of the Mahan tribe to the south, reaching its heyday.

The name Baekje was first mentioned in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, where it is mentioned that one of the countries in Mahan was named Baji, which was originally one of the many city-states of Mahan. However, according to the history of the Goryeo Dynasty, Baekje was founded in 18 BC by King Wenzuo, who led a group of people from Goguryeo to the Hanshui Valley in central Joseon.

If the people who founded the upper classes of Goguryeo and Silla were all of Chinese descent, then Silla was of Korean descent and had a different racial composition. Silla was originally founded by the Jinhan Park family, and later Silla and the Tang Dynasty destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo successively, and after the Tang Dynasty Silla War, Silla invaded the Han Raklang and Obibang hometowns south of the Taedong River, which were originally part of China and later captured for Goguryeo. At that time, the main force was used in other regions, and later Silla pleaded guilty to the Tang Dynasty and became a vassal, and the Tang Dynasty no longer pursued it. The area south of the Taedong River on the Korean Peninsula was unified, and it was called Unified Silla. Later, the unified Silla was divided into the "Later Three Kingdoms" and was unified by Goryeo.

Originally known as Seo Nava, also known as Slo Jilu, Silla was founded by the most powerful Slu tribe in the Jinhan alliance of Samhan, and ruled the area first in the southeast of the Korean Peninsula and then expanded to the entire area south of the Taedong River, with the capital city of Jinseong.

After BC, the Silu tribe centered on Gyeongju and united six tribes to form a tribal alliance, and the chieftains were Park, Xi, and Kim. The two surnames Park and Xi later ceased to be the chiefs, and the throne was hereditary by the surname Kim, and the royal power was gradually strengthened.

At the end of the fourth century AD, Silla was often harassed by the Japanese army, and Goguryeo sent troops to help expel the Japanese army, taking Silla under its protection.

Under the high-level design of the Goguryeo Han people, Silla began to implement the state, county, and county system. The promulgation of laws and decrees has established a uniform for all officials with respect and inferiority, implemented a strict identity system, and further improved the state system. It successively unified the Bengaya (also known as Gimkangaya, present-day Gimhae region) and Daegaya (present-day Koreong region) of the Benhan people Gaya tribe, and completely occupied the Nakdong River basin.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the Korean Peninsula is also very exciting. In order to get rid of Goguryeo's control, Silla competed with Goguryeo for supremacy, secretly allied with Baekje, sent troops to occupy the upper reaches of the Han River, and later captured the lower reaches of the Han River in Baekje, taking advantage of the situation to move north along the east coast, extending its power all the way to the Liaodong Peninsula. The expansion of Silla led to constant attacks from Goguryeo and Baekje. Silla was in a critical situation and called on the Tang Dynasty to intervene.

Silla was ruled by the new Han aristocracy, and a series of reforms were carried out, a large amount of land and pastures were distributed to the new nobles, and the feudal provinces were divided, and later the Roku-eup system and the Dingtian system were introduced. In the later period of Silla, the royal families fought for the throne, and the people were overwhelmed and revolted.

Subsequently, Goguryeo and Baekje joined forces to invade Silla again, and the Tang Dynasty no longer "mediated" as before, but directly "sent Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Yingzhou, and Su Dingfang, the general of Wei Zhonglang, to attack Goguryeo" to protect the safety of Silla.

When Baekje invaded the Silla border, Silla sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty with the idea that "Baekje frequently invaded the border, and the king would cut it down and send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty." The Tang Dynasty, with the cooperation of Silla, destroyed Baekje and then Goguryeo. After the fall of Baekje and Goguryeo, Silla unified the area south of the Taedong River, and the north of the Taedong River to Liaodong was under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. At this point, the territory of the original Samhan tribe was completely unified in Silla and expanded slightly in the northern boundary.

Silla has Incheon Bay on the west coast, making it easy to fly directly to China. He successively communicated with the Former Qin, Southern Qi, Liang, Northern Qi, Chen, Sui, and Tang dynasties, and vigorously absorbed Chinese culture. Use Chinese characters and create "吏 reading texts" that are phonetized with Chinese characters.

Silla established a national school and read books such as the Analects and the Book of Rites. There were many Silla students in the Tang Dynasty, including monks, and many of them were successful in their studies. Hui Chao's "The Biography of the Five Heavenly Zhu Kingdoms" and Cui Zhiyuan's "Guiyuan Pen Cultivation" are both works that have been circulated in China for a long time. In the early days of Silla, there were tribesmen who "rested on the grain and rice to the people, repaid their dissatisfaction, and became slaves and maids." "The Buqu county of Silla was a place where forced prisoners of war and other prisoners of war were concentrated and engaged in special labor, and the tribesmen were actually a kind of conquered tribal slaves.

Iron tools were widely used in Silla, cattle farming was popular, human martyrdom was forbidden, and production developed rapidly. The Red Pants Army once attacked the western part of the royal capital. In this situation, Gong descendants, officer Zhen Xuan, etc., also joined the rebel army and seized the leadership. Finally, it was unified into Goryeo.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the Korean Peninsula is also divided and combined, which is very exciting. The Three Kingdoms period of the Korean Peninsula is different from the Three Kingdoms period of China, it was not formed by the division of one country, but the different development of the three countries, and finally did not unify into the same country. Among them, the history of Goguryeo should belong to China.

The descendants of the Silla royal family included Goguryeo in northeastern China in the Joseon History series, creating a so-called Three Kingdoms period. However, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla belong to different ethnic groups (Baekje and Silla belong to the ancient Han ethnic group, which is not within the scope of the Chinese nation), and the nature of the political power is different, and Goguryeo does not change its ethnic attributes because ——— move its capital to Pyongyang.

If we look at the history of East Asia in terms of the constituent elements of a modern state, then there was only one mature state in East Asia at that time, that is, ancient China. At this time, China took the whole of East Asia as the historical stage, freely showed its own cohesion, and developed to the limit of its tolerance in space, and the history of East Asian civilization in this period was the history of Chinese civilization. After the rise of the Xiongnu Empire in the Mongolian steppe, China faced a challenge from the north for the first time. The rivalry between agrarian and nomadic empires that affected much of East Asia during the Han Dynasty was a major event that had a profound impact on Chinese history. The victory of the agrarian empire represented by the Han Dynasty eventually made the Mongolian steppe an integral part of China, establishing the pattern of ancient China's territory.

Under the influence of China, in remote areas where the Han Dynasty's control was difficult to reach, other countries outside of China began to emerge during this period. With the end of the era in which there was only China in East Asia, the new question of how to get along with the countries of East Asia has also been placed in front of the rulers of various countries, especially the rulers of China. The rulers of the Han Dynasty, proceeding from the traditional political concept of "the whole world, the land of the king", did not recognize the existence of states of the same nature in East Asia, and continued to strive to bring all of East Asia, that is, the whole known world at that time, into the unified rule of China.

However, in practice, the rulers of the Han Dynasty were also aware of the great differences between the regions and ethnic groups in East Asia, so they gradually explored the establishment of some special local management systems to control special areas. In the Tang Dynasty, the special local management system gradually formed a mature mechanism outside the county system in the Central Plains, so that the fetters system became a major feature of the Tang Dynasty's management of the border areas. Applying the method of feudal rule, the Tang dynasty brought most of East Asia under Chinese rule. Although the independence and dignity of the Korean peninsula are viewed with respect and goodwill, this is the historical truth.

Now the farthest Yellow Sparrow is also preparing to move, and even the Japanese who were desperately trying to control the sea power at that time have heard the news, and have already discharged a tentative fleet to intervene in the three-country struggle on the Korean Peninsula. This storm and clouds were infinitely stirred, and the butterfly effect appeared, which was long beyond the control of Dragon Ball. At this time, Dragon Ball was just waiting for Gongsun Zan to send troops to Jizhou, Yuan Shao withdrew his troops from Beihai, and he himself went to visit Kong Beihai and accepted Tai Shici.
