Chapter 1047: The Single Dog Is the Most Combative
When Vice Admiral Bao Yifen talked about the Goryeo issue, Li Xuan was in deep thought, and in fact, he had not heard Hou Yifen's report.
At this time, he was thinking about how to deal with the Goryeo issue.
The northern part of Goryeo is a mountainous terrain with poor transportation conditions, which is not suitable for large armies to assault operations, and there is also a Yalu River.
Therefore, if you attack from land, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and from a military point of view, it is actually not very easy to fight.
Of course, this is not easy to fight and it is only relative, if the Tang Empire really wants to make a move, just send two divisions into the court, then it will basically be able to control the overall situation.
Therefore, the key to the Goryeo problem is not how to fight, but how to deal with it after fighting!
After the Tang Dynasty entered Seoul and took control of the Goryeo Peninsula, what should the Tang Empire do with this peninsula?
Directly annexed to the native? Or as a colony? Or to re-prop up a Joseon king?
These are all questions that plague Li Xuan!
Because these three have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they make Li Xuan hesitate.
Directly swallowed as a local word, to be honest, Li Xuan was a little reluctant!
Although Li Xuan's purpose is to conquer the world, he has never said that he regards the people of the world as the people of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xuan does not intend to turn people of other nationalities into Chinese people with a simple stroke, nor does he intend to say that he will turn other places into locals.
The native is the native and the colony is the colony, these are two different things and cannot be confused.
If in the future, the military occupies India, Nanyang and other places and directly annexes them to the mainland, wouldn't those monkeys and the natives who directly eat after wiping their buttocks with their fingers also become the people of the Tang Dynasty? Became a Chinese?
And can you enjoy the many preferential policies of the Tang Empire like other Chinese people?
How is this possible!
International jokes!
They are there to conquer foreign races, to plunder their land and wealth, and not to open a good church!
The same is true of Goryeo, although they look similar to the Chinese, with yellow skin and black eyes, but they are not Chinese after all.
Even if they later generations described Confucius and Laozi as their people on the Goryeo Peninsula every day, they tried every means to describe the various traditions of China as their own traditions.
This kind of thief-like behavior can actually fully prove one point: they are very eager to become Chinese!
When they can't become Huaxia people, they use all kinds of things to strengthen this, and come to a conclusion that they are probably unwilling to admit in their own hearts: the good things in Huaxia are mine, and since the good things in Huaxia are mine, then I must be a Chinese person!
But!
They are still not Chinese!
They can't be in the future, and now in the era of the Tang Empire, they can't be either!
Li Xuan will never treat the Koreans as the people of the Tang Dynasty!
But in this way, the question arises, if it is directly annexed, there are millions of people on this peninsula, how to deal with it? It is impossible to be a subject of the Tang Empire, and it has a bad reputation if you kill it directly.
If not annexed, then will the colonies work?
In this way, the Tang Dynasty can rest assured that it will boldly squeeze the Goryeo Peninsula, so that they can use their hard work to contribute to the prosperity of China and the happy life of the people of the Tang Dynasty, just like the natives in those colonies that may be obtained in the future!
But if it's just a colony, to be honest, Li Xuan is a little unwilling, although the resources on the Goryeo Peninsula are not rich, but this is a peninsula connected to the mainland of China, just as a colony, the ghost knows if it will be independent in the future, once it is independent, then it will definitely become a dagger piercing the heart of the Tang Empire.
What if you just choose a cat and a dog from the Goryeo Lee royal family, support it to rule the Goryeo Dynasty, and turn the Goryeo Peninsula into a vassal state of the Tang Empire?
In this way, Li Xuan was even more reluctant!
Lao Tzu sent a large army to defeat Goryeo and then made someone else king? Pull a few handfuls of orders!
The blood of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will never be shed for foreigners!
It won't even flow for the people of the Tang Dynasty!
The blood of the Tang Dynasty soldiers will only and can only be shed for the Tang Emperor, that is, he Li Xuan!
There is absolutely no second option, and once the second option appears, then it can basically be declared that the army will not be loyal to the Tang Emperor.
After Li Xuan thought about it for a while, he returned his thoughts to annexation, but he knew very well that it must not be simply annexed!
Because he only wants land, not people!
Since ancient times, they have been vassal states of the Central Plains Dynasty, and from this point of view, they were originally part of China, and the Korean Peninsula has been an undisputed Chinese territory since ancient times, and there is no legal problem in annexing Goryeo and directly treating Goryeo as its own territory.
And even if there were, it didn't matter.
He Li Xuan is the law, he Li Xuan is the reason, he said that the Goryeo Peninsula is the territory of China since ancient times, and the Tang Dynasty wants to recover the lost land, then the Goryeo Peninsula is the territory of China since ancient times, and after the recovery, it is the mainland of the Tang Empire.
Anyone who disagrees with this statement and conclusion can be charged with great disrespect or even rebellion!
Because in recent years, the theory propagated by the Tang Empire is that 'the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king', the entire world, including the known and unknown land, the sea and all other spaces, no matter how many latitudes, belong to our glorious and great, greater than the sun Li Xuan, the ancient saint monarch!
In the general environment, do you dare to say that the Goryeo Peninsula is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty? This is a political mistake.
Although everyone privately says that it is okay, if this view is expressed publicly, the loss of official position and dismissal is light, and at worst, it is doubting the sanctity of the Son of Heaven, and the problem is big.
In recent years, the Tang Empire has been working hard to promote various ceremonies, and there are many various ceremonies held every year, and they are more and more solemn than one time, in the Huangzhushan era, the first sacrifice ceremony, that is, a small wooden platform was built, but last year's sacrifice ceremony was specially built a rooftop, and Li Xuan personally led the civil and military officials to worship.
In fact, the main purpose of these ceremonies is to let the Tang Emperor, the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan, really put on a sacred coat!
They want to create a holy Son of Heaven, a living god, not just an emperor!
Based on this, whether Li Xuan wants to annex the Goryeo Peninsula or treat it as a colony, it is actually a matter of one sentence, even if this decision is wrong, but in order to maintain the sacredness of the Tang Empire and the sacredness of the Son of Heaven, even if the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty know that it is wrong, they will try their best to do it and achieve their goal.
Annexation and colonies and vassal states, among the three options, Li Xuan is more inclined to choose direct annexation, and directly come to a hundred!
But after the annexation, what to do with the natives of the Goryeo Peninsula is a problem!
The people in this place are still yellow-skinned and black-eyed in appearance, in terms of appearance, in fact, they are not much different from the Chinese, and the Koreans in these years are still relatively good Koreans, and the eyes have not grown to the forehead, and they have a dream of a cosmic power every day.
On the contrary, they have long accepted the culture of the Central Plains, and the characters they learn are all Chinese characters, even the imperial examinations they have, and the test questions are also the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, and everyone admires Huaxia from the heart.
Seriously, he still can't bear to let Li Xuan implement the same population policy in Nanyang in this place, but it is not okay to just let it go, let the million-level alien population stay in the original place, to be honest, Li Xuan is not at ease.
And this will also cause a huge obstacle to the localization of the local sinicization.
So what to do?
After thinking about it briefly, Li Xuan decided to divide it into several steps, and after occupying Goryeo, he was going to prepare for several large immigrants, not only to use immigrants from the mainland to go to Goryeo, but also to immigrate the people of Goryeo.
After several rounds of big migration, Li Xuan can say with certainty that the proportion of local Koreans will drop sharply!
Then it is to promote sinicization, especially cultural sinicization, promote the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty in the Goryeo Peninsula, set up schools, use Chinese in all education, abolish Goryeo script, clothing, traditions, and burn all books with Goryeo characters.
He wanted to never see a single Goryeo script on the Goryeo Peninsula again, and he could not see any so-called traditional Goryeo costumes and customs.
In addition to the sinicization of culture, it is that China has been tried and tested for thousands of years, relying on the huge population advantage, and directly swallowing the Korean people in one bite.
And the looks of both parties are about the same, and if they get married, they don't have to worry about what the mixed-race child will become as blonde and blue-eyed as the barbarians, so it is very necessary to promote marriage and racial integration.
In addition, it can also be used to reduce the proportion of the local Goryeo population.
Marry their women to the light and make their men single dogs!
In order to prevent these single dogs from making trouble, Li Xuan thought that when the time came, he could drive these Goryeo single dogs to Nanyang to colonize, there was nothing more effective than hungry single dogs, for the sake of women, they could kill all the local indigenous men, and then snatch away the indigenous women.
With many means, not to mention the millions of people on the Goryeo Peninsula now, even if it is tens of millions, Li Xuan is confident that he will kill them!
Let the Goryeo Peninsula have only Chinese people in the future, and there are no Koreans!
Li Xuan made a decision in his heart, and at this time Bao Yifen also ended the navy's report, but the content of the subsequent report was basically the same old tune, Li Xuan didn't listen attentively, and he didn't listen attentively, it was nothing more than saying how awesome the navy was, completely blockading the waters of Liaodong and the like, and by the way, blocking the coast of the Goryeo Peninsula and even the Tsushima Strait.
Li Xuan doesn't care about this, and in fact, no one else cares either!
The navy said so awesome, the key is, does the Liaodong Ming Army have a sailor?
No! Those sampans aren't sailors at all!
Is there a sailor in Goryeo? Yes, but it's just a few sampans, and even the pirates who are now active in the coasts of Fusang and Goryeo can't do it, and they often run away first when they see the warships of the Tang Navy coming.
After the navy finished speaking, it was the turn of the army to say it again, but this time it was not about Liaodong, the war in Liaodong was basically a foregone conclusion, and all kinds of plans were available, so we waited for the plan to be implemented, and then successfully took Liaodong, and by the way, we took Goryeo.
The army is talking about the situation in other directions, mainly the movements of the Tatars in the north and the Tibetans and Warats in the northwest!
The army reported that in the past six months, the Tatars in the north have been very active, and they also attacked the Chahar Department in a big way when the Tang Army attacked Shanhaiguan, and it is rumored that it is progressing quite smoothly.
In fact, the Sixth Army of the Tang Army operated so smoothly in Liaoxi, although they themselves were good enough and sent 10,000 cavalry to support, but a very important part of the original was that the Chahar Division, Duoyan Sanwei and other tribes in eastern Mongolia who fought in coordination with the Ming Army in Liaodong were all used to resist the attack of the Tatars, and they couldn't draw too much strength to help King Hui of Liaodong.
Therefore, to a certain extent, in fact, the Tatars and the Tang Dynasty were fighting in the war in the northeast and helping each other.
Altan Khan attacked the Chahar Department, and Li Xuan attacked the King of Liaodong Hui, which was tantamount to joining forces, and the enemy was defeated.
But such a situation caused a group of generals to frown!
At the end of the report, Lieutenant General Hao Bonian, commander of the Third Army, said in a heavy tone: "We cannot allow the Tatars to develop like this, we must have decisive and resolute measures to curb the expansion of the Tatars, otherwise, in a few years, we will need to face a Tatar that will unify the steppe." ”
Once the northern grasslands are unified, they will be a huge threat to the Central Dynasty of China at any time, and the Tang Empire is no exception!
Compared with the rapid expansion of the Tatars, the Tubo people and the Warat people in the northwest have not moved, and they have been busy doing business with the Tang Dynasty in the past year, bringing a large number of horses to the Tang Dynasty, and then taking away various specialties of the Tang Dynasty.
Among them, in order to exchange more and better war horses from them, especially in order to exchange more Central Asian horses from the hands of Tubo, especially stallions and mares, the Tang Dynasty even opened up to shoot arquebuses at them, and also made an exception to sell them a small number of artillery.
Although it was known that after the sale of these guns and cannons, it was a threat to the Tang Dynasty itself, but this threat was nothing compared to getting a large number of horses.
Li Xuan even personally instructed that as long as the Tubo people were bold enough to send enough Central Asian horses, they would openly sell artillery, and any shotguns, field artillery, and even nine-pound guns were all in the ranks of the sale.
Of course, after the change, artillery with better performance still cannot be sold, and howitzers cannot be sold.
It's just that there are not many Central Asian horses in the hands of the Tubo people, and many of the Central Asian horses they use to trade are actually traded from more western countries, so the idea is good, but for a while, the Tang Dynasty cannot get Central Asian horses in large quantities.
Therefore, for a long time in the future, the military horses of the Tang Dynasty will be dominated by Mongolian horses that are traded.
Hearing the army talk about the situation in the north, and how bad the situation was, as if the Tatars were going south tomorrow to invade the Central Plains, Bao Yifen of the navy flashed a trace of contempt.
Listening to these remarks of the army, he knew that the dispute between the two sides over military spending had officially begun.
So when Hao Bonian's words fell, he stood up again and reported, and this time, he was not talking about Liaodong, not even the security of the mainland coast, nor did he say anything about pirates, he was talking about the South Seas and the Portuguese!
