Chapter 484: Jeju Island Guards the State
After receiving the report jointly written by Wang Jue and Sima Jiong, and asking the messenger who came to deliver the letter about the situation on Jeju Island, Li You and the others were very happy. Vertex Says X 23 U OM
Cheng Yanjin sighed and said: "Your Highness, this Sima Jiong is really a character, and it is really not easy to handle the affairs of Jeju Island to this extent. These talents you have promoted in the past few years, Xue Rengui, Liu Renliang, and this Sima Jiong are all very powerful. His Royal Highness is really convinced by the eyes of people. ”
His family's Cheng Chuliang is also a talent favored by His Royal Highness King Qi, and he has made great progress over the years, not only in terms of official position and title, but more importantly, Cheng Chuliang has become more and more sophisticated and mature.
Liu Renliang said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that Wang Jue and Sima Jiong's plan is feasible, transfer the main force of the Baekje Naval Division to Jeju Island, attack them in an ambush, and defeat their main force, and things will be easy to do in the future, and the minister suggests adopting their suggestions." ”
Cheng Yanjin and Xue Rengui also agreed with this suggestion.
Li You clapped his hands and said: "When it comes to fighting, you are all experts. Since you all said yes, take their advice. The whole army turned and sailed towards Jeju Island. ”
"Yes, the ministers obey." The generals said in unison.
A few days later, Lee Woo and the others arrived on Jeju Island.
The affairs of the war included Cheng Yanjin, Liu Renliang, Wang Jue, Xue Rengui and others, and Li You and Sima Jiong mainly dealt with the government affairs of Jeju Island.
On this day, Li You and Sima Jiong came to the palace of Dieluo Kingdom.
Seeing the star lord Fu Dashi, the prince Fu Dayu and Fu Yingbei and others, Li You asked the white tiger to send them a gift list. I saw a wide variety of valuable gifts on the list, many of which had never been seen by the people of Diero. The three heads of state of Diera fully believed in Li You's sincerity.
At noon, the star lord Fu Dashi invited Li You and others to a banquet.
There are six major delicacies in modern Jeju Island: black pork, seafood hot pot, abalone porridge, sashimi, grilled jade sea bream, and horse meat. At this time, the country of Dieluo was not so particular, and the food they made Li You really uninterested, but Fu Dashi and the others were very enthusiastic and recommended their food vigorously, Li You really couldn't shirk it, and ate it reluctantly.
In the afternoon, they continued to negotiate.
In the end, they reached an agreement to divide Jeju Island to the Tang Dynasty in the southwest, bounded by Mt. Halla, to the Tang Dynasty, and the rest was still occupied by the Yuan Diera people.
The Tang Dynasty set up Hallasan County, and Yang Fan served as the county commander and the envoy of Jeju Island. The people of Diera returned to the Tang Dynasty and set up Jeju Island to detain the state. Abolish the Kingdom of Diena, retain the titles of Star Lord, Prince and Disciple, and be named Marquis of Jeju, Marquis of Diena, and Marquis of Shimanae respectively, and enjoy the corresponding benefits and other benefits of the imperial court.
Prefectures and counties are equivalent to autonomous prefectures and counties. There were three types of fetters in the Tang Dynasty:
The first was the establishment of prefectures and counties in areas under the military power of the Tang Dynasty, whose governors were hereditary by tribal heads, who were autonomous in internal affairs and paid tribute, but had some responsibilities, such as loyalty to the central government, and the provision of military supplies as required. The imperial court regarded it as part of the territory, and the document was written with "edict".
The second is the internal vassal state, such as Nanzhao, Hui, etc., generally named as a khan or county king, with its own territorial scope, but the political legitimacy of its leader comes from the canonization of the Central Plains government, can not be autonomous, the Central Plains regime regards it as a subordinate, and the document uses "the emperor asks".
The third is the so-called "enemy country" and "desperate country", such as Tubo, the Japanese slave state, etc., although there may also be canonization, but most of them are the recognition of the actual situation, and the legitimacy of their leader's rule does not depend on the canonization of the Central Plains regime, and the documents of the Central Plains regime mostly use "the emperor respects and asks".
Jeju Island is in the first case.
For such an arrangement, although Fu Dashi, Fu Dayu and Fu Yingbei are not all satisfied, they can only accept such a reality.
Li You promised that Jeju Island would pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year, and only one penny per year for 20 years would be required to show his submission to the Tang Dynasty. The people of the Tang Dynasty could use the labor of the state of Jeju Island, but they had to be paid with the consent of the state government. For the former Diera people who now live in the southwestern part of Mount Halla, the imperial court compensated them for their relocation and was responsible for building houses for them.
Hallasan County and Kanju Prefecture implemented different laws and regulations, and when they encountered disputes, they reported to the Henan Provincial Observer for coordination.
Such an arrangement, for Fu Dashi, Fu Dayu and Fu Yingbei and others, has not changed much, only reduced part of the territory, but there is an absolute guarantee of security, and it is also acceptable.
In this way, the two sides reached an agreement, and Sima Jiong drafted the agreement, and Li You and Fu Dashi both signed it, and waited until it was reported to the imperial court for approval and filing.
When the matter is settled, the atmosphere between the two sides will be more harmonious. That night, Li You arranged for Gao Zhiming and other cooks to cook a real Jeju Island meal for them in Fu Dashi's palace, which opened the eyes of Fu Dashi and Fu Dayu and others, and also feasted their mouths.
Next, Li You talked to Yang Fan and other key personnel who stayed on Jeju Island alone, told them about the precautions related to economic development in Jeju Island, and said that the imperial court would supplement Jeju Island with materials and other assistance, stipulating that Hallasan County did not need to pay taxes to the imperial court for five years, and the residents of the island could freely return to their hometowns to visit their relatives after three years.
Explain to them that they should have a good relationship with the local indigenous people, avoid conflicts as much as possible, try to arrange people to spread the culture of the Tang Dynasty to the indigenous people, teach them Chinese, and so on.
Yang Fan and the others were satisfied with Li You's arrangement, and they only put forward one condition, hoping to leave them some of the warships. Li You promised to leave them a fifth-class sail battleship and 3 yachts, and Yang Fan and the others expressed their gratitude.
At this point, the matter of Jeju Island came to an end.
Since they did not know the exact time of the Baekje attack, Yoo In-rail and others developed a flexible battle plan, they sent three warships to patrol the sea area between Jeju Island and Baekje Province every day, and the rest of the warships were divided into two teams and ambushed on the east and west sides of Jeju Island, and once the patrol ships found the enemy's tracks, they retreated in the direction of the harbor and led the enemy into the encirclement to annihilate them.
That morning, a fifth-class sail battleship spotted the Baekje people, and the battleship immediately notified the other two sail battleships behind it. With the help of binoculars, they saw the Baekje fleet in advance, but they did not rush to move, but waited until they could see the Baekje fleet clearly without binoculars, or the Baekje people could also see the Tang fleet, and then they fled in a panic in the direction of Jeju Island.
Soon after, a large number of Baekje warships swarmed in.
The Baekje warships were very varied, including the Narumu warship, the warship, the fighting ship, the flying falcon warship, the seahawk warship, the Jiaolong warship, the Mengchong, the Yaoyang warship, the small warship, and the walker.
The Narutsuru was the largest type of warship, reaching 1,200 and having five masts, one of which was the command ship of the Baekje people. On the three-story shipbuilding, Yan Changhan, the commander of the fleet, had already seen the Tang warships that had escaped in front.
In order to prevent the Don army from escaping, he continuously issued combat orders.
