Chapter 909 [Strategy]
To tell the truth, this "secret treaty" does not look like a political treaty between countries in any way, so it is understandable that it is called a "secret treaty". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition, neither Huang Jie nor Goryeo wanted to reflect the suzerainty and vassal status of the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, as well as the overriding of the King of Goryeo by the King of the Great Song Dynasty on a piece of paper, so when the final contract was signed, no matter how you look at it, no matter how you look at it, the words that fall on this covenant with white silk as the table are just a private agreement.
However, the official seal of the king of Huainan of the Great Song Dynasty and the seal of the national seal of the Goryeo Kingdom are very clear and can be passed down for ten generations.
It is also said that after signing the contract, Huang Jie naturally set up a royal banquet regulated by the king of the Great Song Dynasty in the Splendid Palace to entertain the Goryeo envoys.
After the three rounds of drinking, Yao Sheng also borrowed the power of wine and asked boldly: "Although it is winter now, it is difficult to estimate the period of headwinds, I don't know what the return date of the king of the county is?" ”
Hearing such a bold question about the return date, Huang Jie also told him frankly: "It's not in a hurry, if the wind is not good, it is not impossible to go north." ”
In this way, all the Goryeo people in the criminal group are like mangs on their backs, and with the combat strength of the Song army casually knocking Cui Zhuo's 50,000 horses and a "strong city" to the ground and stepping on the ground, it is not impossible to really go north to find trouble with the Jurchens, but when they think that the Song army's combat boots are about to set foot on the land of Goryeo again, many people secretly feel that the two wars are trembling, and the back spine is cold.
But said that after Huang Jie pushed the boat to Yao Sheng's army, everyone was busy and pretended that he came to divert the topic, and even Yao Sheng asked Huang Jie's permission to summon eight Goryeo beauties to sing and dance for the Song King, and bluntly said that the eight beauties are all descendants of the original Silla royal family, that is, the legendary Silla maids, all of them are selected beauties, and this time they came to bring it to the Song King as a gift, and these eight beauties are not within the previously agreed quota of ten people.
Looking at the eight beauties wearing silk and white clothes, tall legs, and beautiful physiques, and they were also the legendary Silla maids, Huang Jie did not refuse, and also cooperated with Yao Sheng to comment on these Korean beauties on the spot, but after watching the song and dance, Huang Jie took the initiative to inquire about the military situation in the northwest, and took the opportunity of Yao Sheng's wine power to ask quietly: "I don't know what industries and commercial goods are in the northwest Yizhou area?" ”
"Northwest of Goryeo?" Yao Sheng was a little puzzled when he heard this, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "The area around Yizhou is full of poor mountains and bad waters, and it was harassed by the Jurchens for a long time in the early years. However, if you want to talk about commercial goods, there are also them, because there are many furs hunted near Baitou Mountain (Changbai Mountain), especially mink skin, tiger wolf skin (Siberian tiger), and black bear skin are more prolific......"
This Uiju (about the area of Sinuiju in present-day North Korea) was an enclave that the Great Song Dynasty had agreed with Goryeo to cede to the Great Song Dynasty, and now it is actually controlled by the Lazy Dian Department of the Jin Kingdom.
Of course, if you really want to talk about it, whether it is the Goryeo or the Jurchens, the ownership of this land is qualified to use the word "since ancient times", and in terms of folk customs at this stage, of course, whoever has the big fist and who actually occupies it is whoever owns it.
In the third year of Chongning, that is, in the tenth year of Sujong of Goryeo (1104), due to the continuous harassment of the Jurchen Holadian tribe that began to rise at that time, the Goryeo general Lin Gan led his troops to fight with the Jurchen tribe outside the city of Dingzhou (now Dandong) and was defeated. Subsequently, the Jurchen coalition army took advantage of the victory to occupy the two cities of Dingzhou and Xuande.
Later, in the second year of Ruizong (1107), Goryeo appointed Yin Huang and Wu Yanchong as the chief and deputy marshals, and launched a full-scale attack on Haoladian by land and water in five ways.
The Goryeo army first killed 400 people of the chieftain army (estimated to be the Jurchen elite), and broke the Jurchen coalition army, beheading more than 6,000 Jurchen soldiers, capturing more than 1,000 people, and breaking through more than 130 villages. Immediately, Goryeo built nine cities in this area: Xianzhou, Yingzhou, Xiongzhou, Fuzhou, Jizhou, Gongjun Town, Tongtai Town, Chongning Town, and Zhenyang Town.
It was only in the second year of Goryeo that there was a fierce battle between the palace ministers, and Goryeo Ruizong, who had only been in power for two years, finally ordered Yin Qian to withdraw his troops and return the area to the Jurchens.
It is said that at that time, in order to thank and commemorate the return of Goryeo to their homeland, the people of the Goryeo tribe changed the name of the two states of Goryeo to Uiju (meaning Yiqi or Renyi) after merging the two states of Seoul and Xiongju, and even promised Goryeo that "the descendants of the world will pay tribute, and they will not dare to throw rubble on the territory."
And now, the Jin State has become a wing, and naturally it will not abide by the promise of "the descendants of the world will cultivate the tribute, and dare not throw the rubble on the territory", not only repeatedly invaded the northern part of Goryeo, but also sent envoys to force Goryeo to send Wang Sun as a hostage and make a pilgrimage to the Jin State.
An important point should be drawn here: for the land of Uiju, it was already clear at the time of negotiation that it was ceded rather than leased.
Of course, another important point is that although this enclave nominally belongs to Goryeo in the map, it is actually controlled by the Jurchen people of the Jin Kingdom, and it needs to be defeated by the Great Song Dynasty himself.
But he also said that how well he ate in the end of this banquet is naturally like a person who drinks water and knows how warm and cold he is, but Huang Jie asked about the scenery of Yizhou during the banquet, but Yao Sheng remembered it very well. And what made Yao Sheng remember deeply was that Huang Jie held a banquet in the Splendid Hall for three consecutive days, but except for the first day after asking about the customs of Yizhou, the next two days not only did not mention it, but also began to spit out the bitter water of the Great Song Yuanshi overseas with enthusiasm, saying that every day that these tens of thousands of troops were overseas, a person's military rations, military salaries, subsidies and various expenses added up to hundreds of Wen, and Bailing Island was good at everything, but there was no fresh water, and it took a lot of manpower to go to Nanpu every day to transport fresh water. If the wind does not change, it will be difficult for the Song army to persevere, and he tried several times to ask if he could let the Song army land again to alleviate this situation.
Of course, Huang Jie is bragging, the troops that came this time are only 20,000 horses, and with the hard sail technology of the Great Song Sea Ship, even if it is really against the wind to forcibly cross the Bohai Bay and return to the Shandong Peninsula, the voyage is only one or two days, but his performance finally got the cooperation of the Koreans.
On the one hand, Yao Sheng called him brother in front of him, and the two were so good that they almost burned yellow paper and cut off the head of the chicken as brothers (Yao Sheng's age is one year older than Huang Jie, and his daughter, who is now the princess of Goryeo, is only fourteen years old), and promised the Song army to solve the drinking water problem, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the task of helping the Song army transport fresh water to Xijing, and ordered all the fishermen along the coast to work to transport water, but on the other hand, he pushed back on the Song army's landing The news was sent to Kaijing.
Although Huang Jie couldn't guess what kind of news Yao Sheng would report to Kaijing, it seemed that the situation was slowly developing in the direction that Huang Jie hoped.
