Chapter 346: A Different Name
, while pushing the arrow away from his head, he picked up his nephew. In a hurry, he glanced at it, and his nephew was not shot to the point, so his life should not be in danger.
"General, get out of here!" The soldiers next to him had already shouted anxiously, and Wanyan Zonghan had no choice but to leave the city wall with his nephew in his arms.
The scene was in chaos, and at this time, the gate of Gufeng Pass had been closed, and the Jurchen warriors inside looked like they were not alive.
Wanyan Zonghan had already retreated to a safe distance, looking at the scene on the city wall in disbelief, only to see that there were now dense soldiers and horses on the city wall, and it seemed that there were at least tens of thousands of people, and they were all holding bows and arrows, staring coldly below.
"So many defenders are hiding there, just waiting for us to go in?" Wanyan Zonghan finally understood that everything in front of him was a trap. ~~
"How many people have we died? [-3u]" Wanyan Zonghan hurriedly said.
After a quarter of an hour, the statistics came out, a total of 2,000 cavalry entered Gufeng Pass, and none of them came out, and it seemed that all of them were dead. In addition, when the rain of arrows came down just now, more than 300 people died.
"So many people died? [-3u]" Wanyan Zonghan felt his head buzz.
Since the army of Dajin Kingdom began, there have not been so many deaths. Moreover, more than 2,000 people died too unjustly, because they fell into the trap of the enemy, and it was difficult to even resist and die. Of course, he didn't know about Wan Yanxi, and if he knew about Wan Yanxi, he would be shocked.
Hua Rong stood on the wall of Gufeng Pass, looking down, with a sneer on his face.
"Legion Commander, it's a pity that only 200 Shizhong came to Hua Rong's side, and said with some regret.
"That's pretty good! If there are more people, we may be in danger. This time we were caught off guard by the Jurchens, and if we really fought, we might not be their opponents. Hua Rong said.
"Commander, do you think the Jurchens will attack the city?" Han Shizhong said.
"I don't know about this, but even if they attack the city, we are not afraid." Hua Rong Road.
Now there are 70,000 soldiers in Gufeng Pass, plus the advantage of the city wall, plus the help of bows and crossbows such as the divine arm bow and the city defense crossbow, even if the Jurchens are strong in riding and shooting, it is impossible to get in. When the Khitans were at their most powerful, they had sent 100,000 warriors who did not cross the thousand-mile Great Wall of Goryeo, and it was impossible for the Jurchens to do it.
And under the city wall, the Jurchens were full of sadness, and a Jurchen general said: "General, attack the city!" ”
Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth, he didn't know whether to attack the city or not. If he doesn't attack the city, he really can't swallow this breath, and if he attacks the city, he is afraid that he won't be able to attack the Xiongguan in front of him.
"Damn Koreans!" Until now, Wanyan Zonghan thought that Gufengguan was still in the hands of the Goryeo people.
"Siege!" After hesitating for a long time, Wanyan Zonghan finally made up his mind.
The Jurchens came in too haste, they originally wanted to help Kim Il-woong come to quell the rebellion, so they did not prepare siege weapons at all, and at that moment the Jurchens and those servant troops began to cut down trees and make ladders.
There was tension on the city wall, and the soldiers of Liangshan looked at the Jurchens below, waiting for the upcoming battle.
In the middle of the night, the Jurchens attacked, shouting and killing, first the servant army rushed up, and then the Jurchen elite soldiers rushed up. It's a pity that Liangshan has the advantage of troops, the city wall, and the weapon, although the Jurchen team is strong, but even the city wall can't rush up.
Half an hour later, the Jurchens and their servant army left behind the corpses and retreated.
At dawn the next day, the Jurchens attacked again, thinking that they could hit Liangshan by surprise, but who knew that the Liangshan soldiers did not relax at all, and still blocked this wave of attacks. At noon the next day, the Jurchens attacked again, this time still blocked.
The Liangshan army did not suffer any losses, and the Jurchens left behind another corpse.
"Damn, this Gufeng Pass can't be attacked at all!" Wanyan Zonghan said with a hateful face.
"General, it doesn't look like a Goryeo soldier here, how can the Goryeo people be so tough?" A general said.
"I can also see that they may be Song people from Liangshan!" Wanyan Zonghan said.
"Huh? Can the Song people knock down the Great Wall so quickly? Another general said.
"It seems to be true...... The cowardly Goryeo people can't even stop the Song people! It's a pity that they now occupy this Gufeng Pass, and we can't go in. Wanyan Zonghan said depressedly.
"General, in this way, Goryeo will be from the Song Dynasty in the future?" And humane.
"This ...... Most likely it is. Wan Yan Zonghan said.
Wanyan Zonghan gradually stopped talking, but frowned, and now it seems that Goryeo has been replaced. In the future, it will no longer be the Goryeo of the Goryeo people, but the Goryeo of the Song people. I don't know whether this matter is happy or sad for the Jurchens, if the Song people and the Jurchens are opposed, then the Jurchens will face a two-sided battle.
"Let's go, get out of here." Wanyan Zonghan said.
"But, General, how many of us have died? [-3u]"There is humanity.
"I'll take revenge on them in the future! But now, we really can't get in! I must tell Your Majesty about this matter and let Your Majesty decide! The owner of Goryeo has changed, which is a big deal! Wan Yan Zonghan said.
The Jurchens finally retreated, and all the Jurchens were full of hatred and unwillingness in their hearts, they would not forget the pass in front of them, they would not forget the thousand-mile Great Wall of Goryeo, and they would find an opportunity to take revenge in the future.
And Liangshan, with his strategy, won the victory in this battle. Coupled with Wan Yanxi, for the time being, Liang Shan is 2 to 0 against the Jurchens, but in fact, the difference in strength between Liang Shan and the Jurchens is still not small.
In the following days, Hua Rong left Yang Zhi at Gufeng Pass to guard it, while he continued the campaign with the rest of his soldiers and horses. By the end of December, almost all of the Goryeo prefectures were under the control of Yangsan, and the Goryeo War was basically over.
Wu Dong has been staying in Kaijing City these days, and he looked at the map of Goryeo and knew that this time this place finally belonged to him!
The road to the rejuvenation of the Han nationality started from Yangsan, and then went to Goryeo, occupying this place, as long as the Great Wall of thousands of miles is guarded, there will basically be no more threat, and it can be vigorously developed in this place.
"Militaristic ...... Militarism, to include the Korean people in the militaristic system. Wu Dong said secretly.
At this time, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Li Gang walked in, all three of them were full of smiles, and they all knew the news of the end of the Goryeo War. This time, Liangshan won completely, and there were almost no losses. Liangshan's power has greatly increased.
"You're all here? Let's talk about the future. Wu Dong said with a smile.
At this time, Wu Yong suddenly knelt down and said, "Governor, I have something to say." ”
Wu Dong was very strange and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Wu Yong said: "It's still that thing, please call the governor the king." ”
Wu Dong smiled and said, "You don't need to be in such a hurry about this matter, right?" The Metropolitan Governor is good, isn't it? ”
For Wu Dong, whether it is the governor of the capital or the "king", it is just a title, he is still the great leader of Liangshan, and he is still the "leader". After becoming king, there will be no change in status.
At this moment, Gongsun Sheng and Li Gang glanced at each other, and Gongsun Sheng also stepped forward and said, "The governor of the capital should be called the king." ”
Chapter 146: Claiming to be King
Wu Dong was stunned in his heart, Wu Yong asked him to be the king, which is normal. Wu Yong likes to pat himself on the back, and when he finds an opportunity, he flatters Wu Dong and holds Wu Dong high. But Gongsun Sheng and Li Gang are very rational people, why do they also let themselves be kings?
Gongsun Sheng said: "Dadu, we have now occupied the whole of Goryeo, and only the king can be worthy of the identity of the lord of Goryeo, this is one of them. Second, after the governor is crowned king, it can boost morale and unity. ”
The identities of "king" and "metropolitan governor" are very different, one is the king of one party, the other is only a military leader, and ordinary people have a completely different sense of identity with "king" and "metropolitan governor". Wu Dong didn't claim the title of king before, that was because the place occupied was too small and scattered, and it was more like a joke to be called king, not to mention that after being called king at that time, he would definitely not be tolerated by the Koreans, and he would also face the attack of the Koreans at that time. And now, Gongsun Sheng, Li Gang and others feel that the time has come to be king.
"Let me think again." Wu Dong Road.
This matter is very important, and Wu Dong feels that he should still be cautious.
"By the way, has the edict of the king of Goryeo been written?" Wu Dong Road.
"It's been written, so I'll ask the Governor to take a look." Gongsun Shengdao.
At that moment, Gongsun Sheng handed the guilty edict written by Wang Yu to Wu Dong, and Wu Dong watched it carefully. This edict is not to blame Wang Ma himself, but to blame Wang Jiande, the ancestor of Wang Mata, for not being righteous. Goryeo Taejo Wang Jian was originally a post-Goguryeo general, but 200 years ago, Wang Jian usurped the throne and established himself as king. Book fan group 2 Later, Wang Jian destroyed Silla and Later Baekje and established a unified Wang Goryeo.
In Confucian thought, the usurpation of the throne by military generals must not be tolerated, so let Wang Yu write an edict of guilt.
There is also the matter of Wang Mata wanting to abdicate in the edict, and Wang Mata is ready to give up the position of the king of Goryeo to Wu Dong, the governor of Yangsan, which is known as "Zen Rang".
"This Wang Mata is really obedient." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"This man was so cowardly, I thought I was going to threaten him, but he immediately wrote it and wrote everything we wanted. By the way, he has one more thing he wants to report to you. Gongsun Shengdao.
"What's the matter?" Wu Dong Road.
A smile appeared in Gongsun Sheng's eyes, and he said, "Governor Dadu, he wants to give his two daughters to you as concubines." ”
Wu Dong couldn't help laughing and said, "Tell him, no need!" ”
Speaking of this, Wu Dong couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, he didn't need women, now Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang, Pan Jinlian and others were already very good, he didn't need other women to intervene, but his generals and his soldiers needed women.
"We now have more than 100,000 soldiers...... In this Goryeo War, Goryeo men also suffered heavy casualties, and many women were left behind. The Goryeo woman is good-looking, so she can let our soldiers marry a Goryeo woman. Wu Dong said secretly.
If you want to unify Goryeo, the ethnic problem is a major problem, and Wudong has many solutions, but the most basic way is to increase the proportion of Han people here, bring the Han people from the Central Plains here, and let more and more Han people here. When the time comes, there will be more Han people, and the foundation of rule will naturally be solid. And if the people of Yangsan were allowed to marry a Goryeo woman, it would be a way to increase the proportion of the Han population. As long as you marry Liangshan, the whole family will be converted to Han nationality. The total population of Goryeo is only 5 million, and it is not impossible to become Han Chinese over the years.
The New Year is coming, and many people in Liangshan have come to Kaijing City, including Li Shishi.
During this time, the civil affairs of Incheon have always been handled by Master Li, and she handled it in an orderly manner without the slightest mistake. However, what bothered Master Li was that she had no children until now, and she didn't know what was going on.
Soon after, Hu Sanniang also came to Kaijing, and Hu Sanniang was worried about the banditry during this time. Although she ordered people to pretend to be rebels and rob everywhere. The robbery of the grain of ordinary Koreans has indeed had a remarkable effect. The number of those rebels is getting smaller and smaller, but the remaining rebels are becoming more and more tenacious, and it is becoming more and more difficult to exterminate.
On December 25, Hua Rong returned to Kaijing City, and the first thing Hua Rong did after returning was to unite many generals to suggest that Wu Dong be king.
Hua Rong and others represent the military power of Liangshan, and they and others are on the book, and their energy is great.
Wu Dong is still hesitating, although he has won Goryeo, but in his opinion, it is still in its infancy, and there is still a long way to go. He doesn't know what the future system will be, does he have to follow the path of the ancient emperor? Is that good or bad?
By December 27, many low-level officers and soldiers stationed in Goryeo jointly signed a letter asking Wu Dong to claim the throne, but Wu Dong was still hesitating.
On December 28, Dai Zong returned from the Central Plains. He has been busy in various places during this time, gathering intelligence. He set out from Hedong, then passed through Yanyun, all the way to the border of Liaodong, and finally came to the Great Wall of Goryeo, from where he came to Kaijing.
Dai Zong brought letters from Lin Chong and Zhu Wu, and the two even made Wu Dong king.
Things have come to this point, obviously there is no way to refuse, otherwise it is equivalent to pouring cold water on everyone's hearts, which is not conducive to the future career.
So on December 28, Wu Dong gathered Hua Rong, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others together, and said: "Since everyone asked me to be king, then I will be king." ”
Everyone was overjoyed and was about to bow down to Wu Dong, but Wu Dong hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's okay to be called the king, but in the future, you should treat me according to the military salute of the Grand Duke." ”
"This ......" Everyone was a little hesitant, but seeing that Wu Dong's expression was very firm, they finally agreed at the moment.
"Calling the king is just a different name, tell me, should it be the king of Han, the king of Yangsan, or the king of Goryeo?" Wu Dong said with a smile.
"This ......" Wu Yong was the first to speak, and said: "We started from Liangshan, and the governor of the capital will be called King Liang." ”
Gongsun Sheng was in favor of being called "King Han", Wu Dong looked at Hua Rong and said, "Hua Rong, what do you call it?" ”
"Let's call it King Liang." Hua Rong Road.
So the matter was settled, and everyone unanimously decided to officially claim the throne on the first day of the first lunar month during the Spring Festival this year. There are only two or three days left, and everyone is hurrying up to make dragon robes, desire seals and other things. Even if Wu Dong explained that he just changed the title, the relevant etiquette should not be too little.
"Governor, do you need to invite any guests?" Wu Yongdao.
"Guests, just the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo, Wang Yu, Jin Dongqing, Li Haoran, let them come! Also, invite all the famous gentry in Kaijing City, and they will be considered our people from now on! Wu Dong said.
"Governor, besides, since you are the king, is the military aircraft department going to change? Shouldn't we reward the ministers and then give amnesty to the world? Wu Yongdao.
Chapter 147: Enthronement
?“ There is no need to change the military aircraft department, even if I become the king of Liang, but we are still based on the military, the army is still the most important organization at present, and the rest of the civil affairs are subordinate to the army, so the military aircraft department is appropriate, and handling the affairs of the military aircraft includes everything, ^ As for the great reward of the ministers, this is natural, this time in the Goryeo War, everyone has made a lot of contributions, and it should be rewarded. As for the so-called amnesty for the world, I don't think there is any need for it. Wu Dong said.
