Chapter 398: Coercion and Temptation
The young man was arrogant, and he had the slightest scruple about every whip he spoke, which made Li Jun very uncomfortable to hear, but he knew that he didn't need to argue with a hairy boy, so he said, "What is Your Majesty's bottom line?" ”
"On the Double Ninth Festival in early September, His Majesty wants to hunt Goryeo."
Yu Yunwen also wanted to see how strong the combat effectiveness of the Han Xiongshi was, and he also wanted to know what the generals of the Han would do if the situation was unfavorable.
The Son of Heaven patrolled Goryeo, which gave Li Jun infinite courage, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "I need Lord Yu's help to perform a play, and I will ensure that His Majesty can patrol Goryeo as scheduled on the ninth day of the ninth month." ”
"The Metropolitan Governor is polite, and the officials are here to serve the Metropolitan Governor."
In the Han Dynasty, the governor of the capital was from Yipin, that is, the king of the county. Although Yu Yunwen is the envoy of the Son of Heaven, he is only a positive seventh grade, of course, he has to obey Li Jun's dispatch.
Li Jun told Yu Yunwen about his plan, and the two carefully scrutinized every detail, at this time, Li Jun understood that Yu Yunwen, a young man, did have arrogant capital and was really talented and learned. And Yu Yunwen also understood that no one's success was accidental, and the military generals of the Han Dynasty relied on military merit to ascend to the top, and this strength far exceeded that of the previous dynasty.
Kim Ji-hwan didn't want to go to see Li Jun at this juncture, but when he heard that the envoy of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty had arrived, he decided to pay a visit.
For some reason, when Kim Ji-hwan went to Tamna Island, he also brought his sons Kim Da-jung, Kim Xun'er, and brought heavy gifts.
Jin Zhihuan didn't expect the envoy of the Han Kingdom to be so young, and thought he was the prince, but when he was sure that he was just the champion of the Golden Branch, he was inevitably disappointed.
Yu Yunwen saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and he said to Li Jun: "Governor Dadu, since Lord Jin is here, how about we talk while drinking today." ”
"It's all at your command." Li Jun deliberately elevated Yu Yunwen's identity, if Kim Ji-hwan looked down on Yu Yunwen, there would be unnecessary trouble for the following conversation.
Kim Ji-hwan didn't know why he was drinking, and was obviously a little absent-minded.
Yu Yunwen didn't mean to talk to Jin Zhihuan, he said to Li Jun: "100,000 Han sailors went south, and Wu Jinjia, the minister of Annan, specially received him, hoping to replace the Li dynasty, and took the initiative to bear all the military expenses, and accepted the canonization of the Son of Heaven, allowing the Han navy to be stationed in Annan. It seems that these magnates seem to be more and more like kings, don't have so many vain things, just follow the big man. ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Obviously, these words were said to Jin Zhihuan, and of course Jin Zhihuan, an old fox, could hear it, but he was noncommittal.
Li Jun said with a smile: "I can now envy the three heroes of the Ruan family, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Tong Wei and Tong Meng, they can gallop the sea, make contributions to the Han Dynasty, and expand the territory. ”
"I can't hold back for too long, the 100,000 navy of the Han Dynasty is already approaching Jiaozhou Bay, and it seems that the recovery of Shandong has been put on the agenda, since the governor of Dadu is not willing to stay in Tamluo Island, then it is better to join the army."
At this moment, Kim Ji-hwan can be regarded as hearing clearly, there is not a single word of so many words that are nutritious, and it is an indisputable fact that 100,000 navies are going north, and it seems that they are coming for Goryeo.
The Jin army pressed the border, and the Han army directly sent 100,000 navy to sea, which shows that the Han did not want to give up its interests in Goryeo and did not take the Jin country in its eyes at all.
The powerful Han State and the weak Song State are incomparable, and their powerful Han army does not hesitate to declare war to protect vested interests, which shows that there must be a war between the Han State and the Jin State, and the Han Army seems to be full of confidence, while the Jin State is a little weak, and the Jin civil strife has begun, and it is not known that the wind will blow in the future.
Kim Ji-hwan picked up his wine glass and said, "Dahan is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and it is the country of the suzerains of Goryeo. The arrival of the envoy of the Celestial Empire should have been Jin's friendship with the landlord. But I didn't expect to be the first to be the governor of the capital, so let's borrow a flower to offer a cup of Buddha to the envoy. ”
"Lord Kim is polite." Yu Yunwen knew what Jin Zhihuan wanted to know, so he deliberately didn't mention it, so he said with a smile after drinking: "I don't know what Lord Jin meant by bringing Ling Lang and Ling Yan here." ”
"Both of them yearn for the Central Plains culture, especially their incomparable worship of His Majesty, and hope that this time they can follow the envoy back to the imperial capital and let them study in the imperial capital."
When the son goes to the imperial capital, he must be a hostage, and the daughter goes to the imperial capital to enter the palace, Jin Zhihuan's attitude is very clear, that is, to let his son go to the imperial capital as a hostage, and the daughter is used to make peace, hoping to get the support of the Han Dynasty.
"Yes, Ling Lang looks at Yushu Linfeng, graceful, and will definitely move the capital, and he will definitely be the object of the wealthy daughter's pursuit at that time. Ling Bingxue is smart, the country is overwhelmed, and she will definitely be popular when she arrives in the imperial capital. Besides, the palace lord of Shunde, the palace lord of Chengqing, the palace lord of Dening, the palace lord of Changle, Princess Xingqing, and Princess Chengde are all in the imperial capital, and they take care of each other, so that Ling Yan should know how to live and will not feel lonely. ”
Everyone understands people, of course they understand what Yu Yunwen means by this, accepting Jin Dazhong as a hostage, and agreeing to Jin Xun'er to enter the palace instead of His Majesty, is to accept Jin Zhihuan's olive branch, everyone can proceed to the next step, and there is no need to go around in circles.
After organizing the language, Kim Ji-hwan said in Chinese: "In the past nine years, the trade volume between the Han and Goryeo has continued to rewrite record highs, and it can be said that Han culture has affected the lives of the Goryeo people. Every Korean person is proud to learn Han culture, and more and more people wear Hanfu on the street, and those who don't know think they have come to Dahan. ”
"Don't you think it's bad to get to the big man? It's better than thinking it's a colony of the Golden Country! Now that he has stepped into the topic, Yu Yunwen also became serious, he gave Li Jun a color and said: "When the Han Dynasty helped the king of your country to expel the powerful minister Li Ziqian and hunted down the powerful minister Tuo Junjing, there was a national certificate at that time, and the Han garrisoned the army in Goryeo, and Goryeo was a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, which needed to pay tribute every year, and the king of Goryeo needed to go to the imperial capital to accept the canonization, and the prince needed to be a hostage in the imperial capital, and Goryeo was to cut off contact with the Jin state. However, what have you been doing in Goryeo all these years, do you really think that the Han Millions of Heroes are decorations? ”
Yu Yunwen's face turned gloomy, and he said viciously: "The Han Navy has been drawn out of the South Seas and is heading towards the East China Sea one after another, I believe that it won't be long before Lord Jin is already your king and will see what the most powerful warship in history looks like." Okay, let's go to the Han warship and have a drink and talk. ”
At the beginning, there was an agreement, but at that time, Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, did not have a son, so he did not send his son over. In these years, the Han Dynasty has been fighting for many years, and Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, has found various reasons not to go to the imperial capital to accept the canonization, as for the tribute, this is just an imaginary number, in fact, the Han does not count on that tribute. But today, Yu Yunwen suddenly attacked, obviously in response to the envoy of the Jin State, Wanyan Honglie, to envoy Goryeo, or to force Jin Zhihuan to express his position.
Now that the words have come to this point, Kim Ji-hwan is not willing to go around in circles, he said schemingly: "Lord Yu is angry, all this is not the will of the Goryeo people, the main reason is that the king of Goryeo is young and ignorant, and he was instigated by the traitor Park Zhengzhong to secretly collude with the Jin State, intending to fight against the Celestial Empire, which is definitely not the will of the Goryeo people. This can be proved by Governor Li, Governor Dadu, you are speaking fairly, our Jin family is loyal to the Han Dynasty. ”
Li Jun saw that Jin Zhihuan was in a hurry and knew that he should accept it when he saw it, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Yu, you just came here, and you don't know much about the situation in Goryeo. Lord Kim and most of the Goryeo officials, the people are still loyal to the Han Dynasty, but the king of Goryeo is young and was deceived by the traitor Park Jung-jung, so he will do things to collude with the Jin State. Now there are endless debates within Goryeo, but the king of Goryeo is the king after all, and he occupies the righteousness, and Lord Kim is difficult to support alone, which has caused today's situation. ”
"It's hard to stand alone, are the 50,000 Han sailors sleeping on Tamluo Island?" Yu Yunwen showed no sign of relenting and wanted to continue to do this.
"Isn't it that Lord Jin didn't invite him, according to the original agreement, without the invitation of Goryeo, the Han Navy Master will not be able to land in Goryeo."
Li Jun directly threw the pot to Jin Zhihuan, the meaning is very clear, over the years, you Jin Zhihuan is not loyal enough to the big man.
Kim Ji-hwan was not stupid, so he said tentatively: "After all, Goryeo is the king of Goryeo, and in the case of his opposition, it will be difficult for me to do many things, and I will be constrained by Park Jung-joong." Moreover, inviting the Han army not only has to bypass Park Zhengzhong's pass, but also has to be agreed by Miaoqing Guoshi, so Xia Guan did not do it. ”
"To oppose the Han is the enemy of the Han Empire, and if it is the enemy, it must be eradicated. When Lord Jin invited the Han Navy Division to send troops, the Metropolitan Governor sent troops, and it was better for the King of Goryeo to visit the imperial capital. As for Miaoqing, Park Zhengzhong, since they have chosen their ideas, then the Metropolitan Governor will give them a ride. ”
"After the king of Goryeo goes to the imperial capital, what should Goryeo do, the country can't be without a king for a day, it's like that." At this time, Jin Zhihuan couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart, he knew that this was also the time for him to show his loyalty, and after glancing at Li Jun, he said: "Actually, the country of Goryeo is poor and weak, and it can't raise so many troops at all, let alone resist the invasion of the Jin country, if the Han army can be stationed in Goryeo, it will definitely be the thing that the people of Goryeo look forward to the most, and our Jin family also longs for Goryeo to always exist under the protection of the Han army, if you can, I hope that the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty can come to Goryeo, Let the people see the face of the sky. ”
In order to become the king of Goryeo, it can be said that Kim Ji-hwan doesn't even want the last dignity, of course he knows what it means for the emperor of the Han Dynasty to come to Goryeo, but this is also the only price he can offer. Goryeo was barren and the Han was rich, and the mere tribute did not appeal to the Han in any way. Moreover, Kim Ji-hwan has self-knowledge, that is, whether it is the Han State or the Jin Guodiu, they will not allow Goryeo to appear as an opponent, and if they do not oppose it first, it is undoubtedly a garrison.
Once the army is garrisoned, the king of Goryeo will become a real Han vassal state, but these Kim Ji-hwan don't care, he just needs to keep the interests of the Kim family and become a high-ranking king, as for whether he has real power or not, it is secondary.
"Perhaps, Lord Jin is more suitable than everyone else, but how can our Han army enter Goryeo, there must be a suitable reason." Yu Yunwen finally relented, there is no doubt that he accepted Jin Zhihuan's kindness, and now it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, that is, to give the soldiers the most high-sounding reason.
Kim Ji-hwan said after pondering for a long time: "Actually, over the years, Goryeo owes the Celestial Empire a lot of military salaries and has not paid tribute, so it is very suitable for this reason. ”
Having said that, Yu Yunwen's task is basically completed, and the following military action is discussed by Li Jun and Jin Zhihuan, in fact, it is unrealistic for the Han to send troops, once the Han army lands in Goryeo, it will provide the best excuse for the Jin State to send troops.
Dahan is looking forward to a war with the Jin State, it doesn't matter where the battlefield is opened, it's just that obviously it's not a very good reality now, even if he sends troops to fight, he will have to wait for Yu Yunwen to return to China, definitely not now.
Solving the Goryeo problem without bloodshed is what Yu Yunwen wants to see, and the problem is to see how Li Jun operates. In fact, these were a test for Li Jun, and before Yu Yunwen sent an envoy, His Majesty had an explanation to see how Li Jun dealt with the problem of civil strife in Goryeo.
The Dahan Navy has indeed gone to sea, but in fact, it only serves as a deterrent, and there is still a period of time before it goes to the Jin Kingdom. Once the civil strife in Goryeo was over and the Han army was stationed in Goryeo, Goryeo was a nightmare existence for the Jin kingdom at that time.
Goryeo will make the Jin country like a fish in the throat is very uncomfortable, if you attack Goryeo, this zhan country has more hills, less plains, not suitable for cavalry combat at all, the Jin army is coming, to face the Han army and the Goryeo army at the same time, how tragic it is, it is simply self-evident. But if there are no troops, the Jin State is still in pain, because Goryeo is in the rear of the Jin State, and it can be sent to invade at any time, so it can be said that as long as the Han Dynasty occupies Goryeo, the nightmare of the Jin State will begin.
Yu Yunwen went back to rest under the pretext that he couldn't drink enough, and only Jin Zhihuan and Li Jun were left in the room, so it was time to talk about specific actions, so there was no need to hide it.
Li Jun said bluntly: "If the Jin army does not send troops, the Han army will not easily land in Goryeo. However, I can still assist you, Lord Kim, to take down Park Jung-jung, once Park Jung-jung is taken, then the remaining Goryeo kings will not be able to make any waves. As for Miaoqing, you don't have to worry about this, I have a way to make him honest. The question now is whether to take Park Jung-jung by force or assassination. ”
For Dahan, no means are a problem, as long as they can finally control Goryeo, but for Kim Ji-hwan, the meaning is different, on this issue, Li Jun still handed over the power to Kim Ji-hwan.
