Chapter 902: Xiongjin Governor's Mansion
Aiqing has some truth in what he said, just canonize him as the king of Baekje, how about making him the governor of Xiongjin Prefecture?
Just over two hundred years ago, the area controlled by Zhen Xuan was under the jurisdiction of the Kumajin Governor's Office. Li Ye thought for a while and said.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Li Zhen arched his hand, and he didn't object.
"Since you want to be canonized, let's choose a time for Zhen Xuan's envoys to come and face the saint."
After Li Ye was canonized, Baekje King Zhen Xuan was appointed as the governor of Xiongjin Prefecture, which can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, especially in Silla.
This paper canonization of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as an acknowledgment of Zhen Xuan's legitimacy, which undoubtedly makes the Silla royal family very afraid.
Of course, they knew what this Xiongjin Governor's Mansion meant, and when the Tang Dynasty fought against Tibet, Silla took the opportunity to seize Baekje's hometown--- Xiongjin Governor's Mansion.
Although Silla later entered the Tang Dynasty to ask for guilt, it became a fact that Silla occupied the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, and the Tang Dynasty had no intention of retaking it later.
Now the Tang Dynasty has once again canonized Zhen Xuan as the governor of the Xiongjin Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which shows how dissatisfied the Tang Dynasty was with Silla at the beginning, and deliberately set up this Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to disgust Silla.
Zhen Xuan already occupied the land of the two states, and now she has been canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and the morale of the upper and lower levels can be described as a rainbow, with the decline of the sunset in Silla today, it may not be able to stop it.
Therefore, after the news reached Silla, the king of Silla sent envoys to Luoyang, hoping to get the forgiveness and support of the Tang Dynasty.
If Zhen Xuan is allowed to continue to attack, the Silla royal family may cease to exist.
Of course, this time the mission also brought a lot of Silla women, and there was no shortage of royal women, which shows that Silla began to sell women on a large scale in order to get the support of the Tang Dynasty.
Originally, the Silla royal family still wanted to find He Dong, but after Li Ye ordered a ban, He Dong and other three imperial merchants did not dare to continue to cooperate with the various forces of Silla.
The Silla royal family urgently sent people to Datang for help, and after Zhen Xuan was canonized, he sharpened his sword and prepared to attack Gyeongju in a big way.
Also sharpening knives is the Pyongyang Governor's Office.
"Qiyu Governor, Qilu Dao, Hebei Dao and Huainan Dao have sent 5,000 soldiers again, including 2,000 cavalry."
In Pyongyang, when the ships transporting 5,000 soldiers and a large number of supplies arrived at the dock, as soon as the inventory was completed, Cui Yuan, who was the Sima of the Pyongyang Governor's Office, hurriedly came to report.
Cui Yuan is from the Boling Cui family, and he is not from the same family as Cui Anqian, Cui Zhaowei and others from the Qinghe Cui family.
Thousands of years ago, everyone may be a family, but it has been a thousand years since the family was separated, and the blood relationship is almost gone, so the relationship is not very close.
Although Li Ye is suppressing the family, he has not been caught to death.
As long as the Tang Dynasty continues, the family will always exist, and it is impossible for Li Ye to completely eradicate the family. The disappearance of the family in history is mainly due to the war that lasted for nearly a hundred years in the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which led to heavy casualties among the children of the family, and by the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the southern scholars were almost finished.
The existence of the family has certain advantages, but in Li Ye's opinion, there are more disadvantages, threatening the imperial power, and at the same time, it is not conducive to the development of the poor family and ordinary children.
And the children of the poor family and ordinary families have no future for development, which will inevitably let those families control the court situation and threaten the imperial power.
Therefore, when Li Ye was improving the official school, he also added Chang'an Academy and Shannan Academy, and invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to add fresh blood to the officials of the imperial court.
In this way, although the family will always exist, Li Ye will find a way to support some small families and families such as the children of poor families to become new big families, so as to weaken the voice of those old families.
"And two thousand cavalry? That's good news. Yang Shihou nodded.
Previously, the Pyongyang Governorate had only 7,000 Tang soldiers, including 2,000 cavalry.
After capturing Haeju and Hwangju, Yang Shihou recruited a part of the Silla soldiers, about 3,000 men, who were mainly responsible for defense and leading the way.
Before the arrival of these 5,000 cavalry, it means that the Pyongyang Governorate already has 10,000 troops, and if these 5,000 cavalry are added, the troops in the hands of the Pyongyang Governor's Office are indeed biased towards wealth.
"Governor, then are we going to send troops to the Bow Descent Division next?" Du Jianhui, as the deputy governor, guessed.
Although the Gong tribe was the strongest of the three forces of Silla, it did not completely unify the northern states and counties of Silla, and although its strength was strong, it was not much stronger than the Tang army.
Now the Pyongyang Governorate has 15,000 troops and 4,000 cavalrymen, which is enough to bite off another piece of fat from the hands of the Bow Descendants.
It was because the Pyongyang Governor's Mansion was originally the meat that the Tang Dynasty bit off from Silla, and they also had a conflict with the Bow Descendants, and attacking the Bow Descendants at this time was the best choice no matter how you look at it.
Yang Shihou shook his head, "The Bow Descendants will definitely guard against us, and if we make any moves, they will definitely hold on to the city." None of the artillery and artillery have yet to be equipped with the Pyongyang Governor's Office, and if we get caught up in a siege battle at this time, it will not be effective for us. ”
"The Governor doesn't plan to attack the Bow Descendants, where will he attack? The Holy One is very concerned about the war in Silla, and if we take the opportunity to expand our territory with an army of more than 10,000 people, will we not be disappointed? "In today's atmosphere of expanding the entire imperial court, Cui Yuan, a son of a family, is no exception.
If he can expand his territory, he can be a marquis and worship the prime minister, others are not easy to say, he was born in the Cui Yuan family, if he has this kind of credit, it is very possible to rise to the top.
"What do you think of Nanhai Mansion?" Yang Shihou pointed to a place on the map and asked for the opinions of several people.
"Nanhai Mansion?" Cui Yuan swallowed his saliva, "Dudu, are you joking?" ”
Nanhai Province was not the territory of Silla, but belonged to the Balhae Kingdom, and it was also the location of Nanjing, the Balhae Kingdom.
The Bohai State implements the five-capital system and learns the Tang Dynasty.
The reason why it is said that Datang is a five-capital system is because in addition to Chang'an, there are also Luoyang in Tokyo, Taiyuan in Beijing, Fengxiang in Xijing and Chengdu in Nanjing.
This was probably formed after the Anshi Rebellion, because Xijing Fengxiang and Nanjing Chengdu both appeared at that time.
It's just that Li Ye does not currently use the five-capital system, but the two-Beijing system, namely Chang'an and Luoyang, the eastern capital.
Fengxiang, Taiyuan and Chengdu are all palaces, and they have not been upgraded to the status of Luoyang Ziwei City, Chang'an Daming Palace, and Taiji Palace.
Moreover, the palace of the three places has not been expanded after he succeeded to the throne, but has been simply repaired to ensure that it can be lived.
Nanhai Province is the Nanjing of the Bohai Sea, although because of its close proximity to Silla, this Nanjing has never had a sense of existence, but after all, it is the Nanjing of the Bohai Kingdom, and this is to attack the Nanhai Province, which is different from the attack on Silla.
The strength of the Bohai Sea was not bad, and the territory was bounded by the Hunjiang River (now Datong River) and the Nihe River (now Longxing River) and Silla in the south; It reaches the area of the Sanjiang Plain in the north and connects with the North Black Water Jar; It is bordered by the Sea of Japan in the east, and near Baicheng and Da'an on the border between Jilin and Inner Mongolia in the west, bordering the Khitan and occupying the entire Liaodong.
Of course, for Liaodong, the Bohai Sea has not been effectively managed, and it is in a state of secession within the Bohai Sea.
However, with a population of 3 million and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Bohai is a veritable prosperous country in the eastern part of the sea.
Although this prosperous country in the east of the sea has become a thing of the past, the three million people and hundreds of thousands of troops are true.
After all, Silla is still a soft persimmon, and this Bohai is a strong enemy.
