Chapter 363: Jeju Island Landing
East China Sea.
Tamna.
One ship after another sailed into the newly built military port wharf, and at the front was a large ship with the flag of the nine-headed dragon on the mast.
The shipowner, Li Xiao, stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the lively harbor, and sighed in his heart that he had come here again.
However, the last time I came here was a thousand years later, when it was called Jeju Island, and it was a beautiful and lively tourist island. At that time, he and his girlfriend were on a cruise ship, a huge cruise ship, a month-long sea voyage, which passed through Jeju Island, and they had two days to visit the island after the boat docked.
Time travels through millennia.
I came here again, but I didn't feel familiar here.
Tamna Island is not much different from Chishanpu, not long ago it was also a very desolate place, although there is an indigenous island country on the island, but the small one cannot be smaller, a group of very barbaric and backward natives, attached to the Baekje Kingdom.
Last year, Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang led the water division to the east, but they did not encounter any resistance, and a small group of pioneers took down the people's royal city. It is said to be a royal city, but in fact it is just a small village and town at the foot of the mountain, with a population of no more than 1,000.
It is said that the population of the entire Tamna country is less than 10,000.
Now these original natives have become laborers in the Tamluo base of the Tang Eastern Expeditionary Army, and they have made great efforts in this military port, wharf and camp over there.
"This island is quite big, I thought it was very small, but it looks like a continent."
Zhao Zhiman also came to this island for the first time, and he was very curious.
Tamna Island is now classified as Wuzhen Prefecture, and Tamna County has been established, and it is said that this place has also belonged to Li Xiao, the jurisdiction of Wuzhen Prefecture.
"It's a big place, but there weren't many people here before." Li Xiao looked at the wharf, the second general Xue Su was not here, and this was now a logistics transfer base of the Tang Army's naval division.
There were several prisoner camps on it, as well as some warehouses of supplies, and even a sanatorium, where wounded soldiers were sent to recuperate.
A seven-rank soldier temporarily acted as the prefectural commander of the newly established county.
It is located at the southwest tip of the Korean Peninsula and not far from the Korean Strait, so it can be said that it connects Baekje, Silla and Dongying.
It's an island, but it's big, not far from the peninsula, but it's not close.
In this era, such a big island actually plays a great role in the military, and can become an excellent military base in Datang, which can be attacked and defended.
After all, whether it is Baekje, Goguryeo, or Dongying, they don't have real sailors, their ships are very ordinary, and there are no professional sailors, so if you want to cross the sea to attack, it would be a fool's dream.
The Tang army only needed a small number of soldiers and horses to be able to control and defend the island.
This is no better than the city pass on land, and there is also the possibility of being attacked by the enemy at any time.
Now that there is a direct flight from Dengzhou, the island will be even more useful in the future.
The ship entered the port, and the Liu Senjun stationed on the island rushed to greet him.
"Why are you?"
The Liu Senjun who came to greet Li Xiao was not someone else, but Liu Jun, Li Xiao's sworn brother, and the son of the Kui Guo Mansion.
Lao Liu leaned on crutches and pointed to his legs.
"When I hit Julie City, I led the team to attack the city first, and I was cutting it vigorously, but I didn't expect that a bastard pretended to be dead and lay on the ground, and secretly gave me a yin, and my leg was injured. Xue Shuai asked me to come back here to recuperate, squatting on this island every day, I was so bored, I didn't think you would come to be my companion. ”
Liu Jun looked at Li Xiao with some curiosity, as if he had flowers on his face.
"I've heard a lot about you on this island, you made trouble in Chang'an, but you were driven out of Chang'an City, but you went to Pyongyang to do a vote? Good boy, you really don't feel lonely wherever you go. If you want me to say, you kid is a troublemaker, a disaster star. ”
"The calamity is also someone else's calamity." Li Xiao smiled.
"Well, to your opponents, you're a true scourge. Let me tell you, the Cui family in Xuzhou has already arrived on this island, and now they are working under me. ”
In the last post-abolition incident, the queen's mother and brother were abolished as concubines, and the two clans of Wang Liu were both long-lived in Lingnan. And the Xuzhou Cui clan was even more unlucky, and was sent to Baekje.
On the day when Li Xiao was doing business in Dengzhou, they had already been sent to Tamna Island by ship.
"Honest, if it's honest, forget it." Li Xiao smiled. In the past, the Xuzhou Cui clan may have been an opponent for him, but the current Xuzhou Cui clan is no longer worthy of his high look.
The man who was beaten and trampled on the ground was no longer worthy of being his opponent.
"It's okay. You also know, I am short of people here, and my subordinates are all Qiu Ba, and there are very few who can write and count, and many of them are those who are injured. There are more than 100 people from Xuzhou Cui's family, including nearly 100 Cheng Ding, middle men, and old men, all of whom can write and calculate, so I arranged for them to do some paperwork and other things. ”
Li Xiao said indifferently, "They have been in Baekje for a long time, and now although they are under my rule, since they have been arranged on Tamna Island, it is under the control of your county order." Again, you have the role of supervision, as long as they are honest and don't do anything, then you can do the rest. ”
Long-term sinners are sinners who have been exiled for a long time, and many of them are not allowed to return for the rest of their lives. The long stream generally flows to places like Lingnan or Dunhuang in Hexi, and when it arrives, it is naturally arranged by local officials, and the amount is used.
For example, if there is a shortage of people here now, and they can write and calculate, then they can act as a clerk. Or in a border area like Xizhou, then they may be directly confiscated.
"Are Xue Shuai and Su Shuai still resting recently?"
Li Xiao didn't care about the Cui family, he was more concerned about the Eastern Expeditionary Water Master.
"No, the last time the company captured the cities of Juyeol, opened the border passage with Silla, and joined forces with the Silla army, that battle was actually quite big, it was a hard bone, and the soldiers also suffered some casualties. In particular, we consume a lot of grain, grass, ordnance, etc., so we have to rest for a period of time to recuperate our soldiers and replenish our grain and grass. ”
The grain and grass of the sailors were brought from the Central Plains at first, but later they mainly focused on seizure, and now that the passage with Silla has been opened, the Silla people are required to provide grain and grass.
"Those Silla people seem to have made a mistake, they still think that our Tang Dynasty soldiers came from thousands of miles across the sea to help them fight, and they actually proposed to Xue Shuai and them to take over the captured Baekje City, you say ridiculous is not ridiculous."
The Silla people were very excited at first, and under the leadership of King Jin Chunqiu, they gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to kill them, and indeed made some contributions to the last battle. But after they came to meet the teacher, they thought about taking over and occupying the city, but after being rejected by Xue Su, the Silla people were not very happy, so after they received the request for food, grass and equipment, they were a little disobedient and kept grinding.
Although none of the Silla people dared to refuse the Tang Dynasty, they did not actively cooperate.
Without sufficient food and grass equipment, Xue Rengui and the others could not immediately launch a new round of offensive. So, it simply entered the stage of rest.
"Who told the Silla people that we were here to fight for them?" Li Xiao asked.
"Nobody told them, I guess it's their own wishful thinking. That Jin Chunqiu, I really thought that I had a letter to Chang'an, so face-saving. Back then, his aunt Queen Seondeok wanted to ask Emperor Taejong to send troops to save Silla, so she personally embroidered many embroidered images and sent them to Your Majesty, so she asked Your Majesty to send troops. Liu Jun said.
Jin Chunqiu was a very young king, who had just succeeded to the throne for a few years. The king who preceded him was the first female king in the history of the Silla Dynasty, Queen Seondeok. The queen never married, and on her deathbed passed the throne to her cousin Kim Seung-man. Jin Shengman died after seven years of reign, and passed the throne to Jin Chunqiu, the son of his cousin Lady Mingyue.
Originally, the throne of Silla has been passed down for more than 20 generations, and it has always been inherited by holy bones.
For example, the three surnames of Park, Kim, and Seo were the largest nobles in the Silla ruling group, and they could inherit the throne and monopolize the entire bureaucratic system, and they had supreme power, which was called the Holy Bone.
The large and small nobles below are divided into several grades such as true bones, six-headed products, five-headed products, and four-headed products, and there are also non-bone classes of various low-level classes such as three-headed products, two-headed products, first-headed products, commoners, and slaves.
According to their tradition, only the children born of the marriage of the Holy Bone and the Holy Bone are the Holy Bones, and the combination of the Holy Bone and the True Bone can only be the True Bone.
Therefore, for a long time, the Holy Bone wanted to maintain its power, and often engaged in blood marriages, that is, marriages between close relatives. For example, an aunt marries a nephew, and a cousin marries.
Jin Chunqiu's mother, Lady Tianming, is the younger sister of Queen Seondeok and the daughter of King Zhenping. And his father was just real bones, so he was only real bones.
Originally, it was not his turn to be king, but Queen Seondeok succeeded to the throne, which was also the result of the infighting of the three families of the Holy Bone, Queen Seondeok died, and passed the throne to her cousin Kim Seungman, who became the second queen, known as Queen Jindeok in history.
Queen Zhende died after only seven years of reign, but at this time, the Jin family was in charge of power and controlled the government, she also admired her nephew Jin Chunqiu, and at the same time, the three major families had no other suitable candidates, so they finally chose Jin Chunqiu, who had gone to the Tang Dynasty to study Chang'an, to succeed to the throne, hoping that after the pro-Tang nephew succeeded to the throne, he could get the continued support of the Tang Dynasty.
Jin Chunqiu in history is actually a person similar to Li Zhi, who was very young when he succeeded to the throne, but he also had a lot of means. Historically, Jin Chunqiu asked the Tang Dynasty for help, and the Tang army sent a large army to attack the Korean Peninsula, first destroying Baekje, then defeating the Wa Kingdom, and finally destroying Goguryeo.
In the second year of the Tang Dynasty's destruction of Baekje, Jin Chunqiu died.
On his deathbed, he asked the Tang Dynasty general Su Dingfang to play the role of Tang Dynasty emperor for him, and asked his crown prince Kim Famin to be appointed king of Silla.
However, that Jin Famin was also a white-eyed wolf, and later the Tang army destroyed Goguryeo, and soon Tubo invaded the west, and the main Tang force was transferred back to Longyou, and Jin Famin began to do things, and finally stole the land of Baekje and Goguryeo that the Tang had conquered from the Tang Dynasty.
It was also from that time that Silla occupied the entire Korean Peninsula and entered the era of unified Silla.
If Li Xiao told Liu Jun at this time that the Tang army would attack Baekje and Goguryeo in the future, he would definitely not doubt it, and there was no reason why he could not attack it.
But if Li Xiao told him that the Silla people would take the opportunity to steal the entire peninsula in the future, it is estimated that he would not be able to believe it, and they would not dare to borrow a few dares from the Silla people?
But history tells Li Xiao that these Silla people are both inferior and arrogant at the same time, and there is really nothing they can't do.
But now that I'm here, I'm sure I'll be wary of them.
