Chapter 509: Don't be too complacent
Bohai State. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info This is a young country, and its rise is probably the Xuanzong Dynasty. The geographical location is the future Northeast region. The main body of the tribe was the Sumo Ya people, and the first king was Da Zuorong.
The Su Mo Tatar people were originally born out of anti-Tang Dynasty, and it is believed that they were the ancestors of the Jurchens in the future. Originally, it was attached to Goguryeo, and it was considered a vassal state of Goguryeo. However, they were defeated by the Goguryeo and Tang Dynasty, and the Sumo Tatar people were forcibly relocated.
Later, the Khitans rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and the Sumo Jin people also raised troops. But he was touched by Datang. Da Zuorong's father accepted the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, but his uncle did not agree, and was killed by the Tang army, and his father died of illness on the way to escape.
Da Zuorong is more acquainted, and has sent envoys to Chang'an many times to claim his vassals, but he did not think he was sorry because he defeated the Khitan generals who were attached to the Tang Dynasty. Like his father, he was touched on the head by Xuanzong, and he was crowned the "King of Bohai County", and was crowned the "Governor of Kuhan Prefecture", and the Bohai State was established.
In the future, the Bohai State was diligent in learning advanced systems from the Tang Dynasty, constantly improving, and with the capital to send troops, it began to expand its territory. Become a powerful country in the northeast region of Datang.
The Bohai Kingdom has passed to the present, has gone through 11 generations, and now the lord of the country is Da Yi Zhen, who has succeeded to the throne for more than 20 years, and he is the longest reigning monarch except for the founding of the country. The previous ones, except for his grandfather, Da Renxiu, the previous ones were quite short-lived. The maximum is four or five years, and the short life is only one year.
'The king, but you have to think clearly, now that the faint king is in power, perverse behavior, and misdeeds, it has aroused the resentment and dissatisfaction of all ethnic groups, and the king has the ambition to subdue the world, and return the world to a bright future, inviting all ethnic groups to jointly resist the brutal Tang court. ’
'The 300,000 allied troops of all ethnic groups, the Murowei, Shanxi, Khitan and Jin tribes, all responded, if the king did not participate, it was far from it, and if the various tribes made great gains, the Bohai Kingdom would be in danger. Nearly, these 300,000 coalition troops are probably going to eradicate the Bohai State first. ’
Ma Yuanwu was in the capital of the Bohai Kingdom, in the Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, in the Bohai Palace, he was smiling, his goal was ahead, a great man from Angzang, Ma Yuanwu tried to lobby and persuade the King of Bohai to send troops.
The king of Bohai, Da Yi Zhen, didn't say a word, like watching a clown perform. Although Da Yizhen is old, he should be strong when he is old. Tall and fat, with a pair of thick black sword eyebrows, he looks very decisive, a high raised lion's nose, showing his energy, and with a thick beard on his lips, he looks very majestic.
Don't look at Ma Yuanwu's eloquent talk, in fact, Da Yi Zhen put a lot of pressure on him, in his opinion, Da Yi Zhen is quite human, even more than the faint king of Daming Palace.
Of course, there's a bit of a derogation in that. In addition, his impression of Li Chen is still stuck in the image of the person who has just ascended the throne, ignores the government and politics, and wanders all day long, and it is inevitable that Li Chen is greatly inferior to him.
On the contrary, if the Bohai Kingdom can ascend to the heights and shout, with the power of the king, and the strength of the Bohai Kingdom, it is not difficult to become a leader, those barbarians only stare at the wealth and women of the Tang Dynasty, and the king does not need those. When the time comes, it will not be difficult for the king to expand the land for thousands of miles, the Bohai Kingdom will be greatly expanded, and the merits of the king will even surpass the ancestors of the Bohai Dynasty. ’
'Yuan Wu is here to congratulate the king in advance. After speaking, Ma Yuanwu bent down and saluted, and then he secretly raised his eyes and used the corner of his eye to describe Da Yi Zhen's reaction, but he forgot that Da Yi Zhen ignored him at all. After succeeding to the throne for 20 years, he has long practiced the ability to be invisible, and Ma Yuanwu's little sycophant is simply a horse ear and an east.
'Finished?' Da Yi Zhen said lightly, Ma Yuanwu slowly straightened his waist, he found that if he didn't take the opportunity to get up, Da Yi Zhen would not pay attention to him at all, and would let him bend his waist all the time, "Please also ask the king to make a decision." This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ’
'Come, take down this traitor.' Da Yi Zhen snorted, and the guards on the left and right immediately stepped forward to take people, "This king is still thinking about what kind of tribute to be offered this time." Now that I am using you as a traitor, I think that I will definitely be happy today. Da Yi Zhen saw that he had taken the person, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Ma Yuanwu, it was a wrong choice to lobby Da Yi Zhen, when Da Yi Zhen was in power, he worked hard to learn the Tang Dynasty culture. He admires the Tang Dynasty very much, he is a person who adheres to etiquette and righteousness, and even has a strong foundation in Chinese, Wen Tingyun praised him for his good writing in the poem "Sending the Prince of Bohai Home". It is not ruled out that he is suspected of being touted, but it will not be too bad to think about it, otherwise he will only smash Wen Tingyun to get the pot.
In addition to culture, militarily, he imitated the Tang Dynasty to establish a standing military system, and established the left and right Shence and the left and right armies. Economically, it is closely connected with Datang, and there are many routes to reach Datang, and it has close business and trade exchanges with Datang. Bohai's "cooked copper" and "famous horses" are very important commodities.
Diplomatically, in order to actively absorb the culture of the Tang Dynasty, he sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty many times. Almost two or three years, three or four times. When Li Chen ascended the throne, he sent his son here, and now he is considering sending the prince to the Tang Dynasty, just Ma Yuanwu bumped into him, thinking that this traitor can get a head and invite the Sacred Heart for the Bohai Kingdom.
As for the matter of the hundreds of thousands of interracial alliances, he didn't pay attention to it. For one, he looked down on the likes of the coalition forces. What 300,000, it is almost the same if there can be a hundred thousand. And the alliance of all ethnic groups, it is not easy to unify, what will come to attack the Bohai Kingdom, he shook his head disdainfully, not afraid.
These people, who have different dreams in the same bed, seem to be powerful, but as long as they suffer a slight setback, they will immediately retreat. No one is willing to sacrifice, cheap other clans, everyone is unwilling, so what else to fight, it is better to attack a single clan.
And, even if these hundreds of thousands of people can work together, he found from the intelligence collected by Datang that Xinjun has good means, and Datang seems to have the image of Zhongxing, he doesn't think that the great 100,000 people will be Datang's opponents, and they are simply sent to death.
He even began to calculate, if they really had to raise troops, would the Bohai State have a chance, and when they met in the Tang Dynasty, the Bohai State would be able to send troops and take advantage of their new defeat to greatly expand the territory of the Bohai State.
In one fell swoop, Da Yi Zhen calculated, when the time comes, not only will he be loyal to Tang Ting, but Tang Ting will definitely have many rewards, not to mention, he can also greatly expand his territory, and when the time comes, the history of the Bohai Kingdom will definitely praise him greatly.
He stepped out of the palace, in a good mood, and enjoyed the view of the palace in a leisurely manner. The Bohai Kingdom imitates the Tang Dynasty, there are five capitals, and the Longquan Mansion in Shangjing is the original Dazuo Rong who was enshrined in the Khan Prefecture, which can be said to be the place where the Bohai Kingdom made its fortune.
However, this capital, for the expansion of the Bohai Kingdom, has changed many places, and when the fifth generation of the Bohai Kingdom monarch became king, although he was short-lived, he changed the capital back to Shangjing until today.
If the territory of the Bohai Kingdom can be expanded, will the Bohai Kingdom have to change its capital divisions again? Da Yi Zhen admired his palace with great interest. After decades, several generations have to work hard to repair, go to Beijing Longquan Mansion, the palace of Miyagi is very tall, magnificent, beautiful.
Under the sun, the glazed tiles are shining, and you can see many exquisite decorations such as owl tails, animal heads, etc., as well as many architectural decorations, and on the ground and on the wall, you can see the finely made tiles everywhere. The overall architectural standard is not lost to the Tang Dynasty Gongdian.
Not to mention the palace, even this capital occupies a very large area. The circumference is thirty-seven miles, imitating the layout of Chang'an, divided into Guo, the imperial city and the palace city. This scale can almost be called the second largest city in Asia. Even Luoyang is not as good as Luoyang, Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty, its circumference is only 27 miles.
However, not caring about those miscellaneous fish coalition does not mean that you should ignore them. He called his brother, Da Qianhuang, and ordered him to reorganize his armament and strengthen his defense. But...
When Chang, a Changsha kiln produced a tea bowl, fell to the ground, fine porcelain, shattered all over the ground, Dayi Zhen tea bowl fell to the ground, and I couldn't believe that I pointed to a person in front of me.
This person's eyebrows are similar to Da Yi Zhen, but an eagle hooks his nose, but this person looks gloomy, his eyebrows and beard are slightly thinner than Da Yi Zhen, and he looks more kind, but that kind appearance is diluted by his eagle hooked nose and full of struggle.
'O king, my lord, our family has given you a chance. In the shadows, Ma Yuanwu stepped out, with a mocking expression on his face, and Da Yi Zhen pointed at his younger brother, "You will bring the Bohai Kingdom to a dead end, Datang is not so easy to get along with." ’
'Big brother, you can go with confidence, Qian Huang will definitely inherit your will and greatly prosper my Bohai. ''Nope. 'Even if he is poisoned, Da Yi Zhen will not give up, 'Don't start a war with Datang, Bohai Kingdom is not Datang's opponent, promise me... Promise me.... ’
Even in the end, he has not forgotten the responsibility of the lord of other countries, and hopes to pull the Bohai Kingdom back from the abyss. When the elder brother was like this, Daqian Huang flashed a trace of unbearability, watching his brother gradually lose his breath.
"Our family is here, congratulations in advance, under the leadership of the king, the Bohai Kingdom will definitely go to prosperity and prosperity." Ma Yuanwu smiled and took a step forward and said, his eyes were full of pleasure, Da Yi Zhen, aren't you amazing? I didn't expect to be betrayed by my brother.
You are so stupid to be an uncle, you will come to lobby you without preparation. In fact, whether you agree or not, the ending is doomed. Ye also knows that you are very pro-Tang and very afraid of Datang, and he also knows that you want to pass on the position to your son, but unfortunately you have to ask your brother if he agrees first.
Ma Yuanwu was very proud, after the completion of the Bohai State Affair, Datang was like an old house, on fire on all sides. It's a pity that Tubo has been pacified, otherwise if you contact Tubo again, Datang will really be enemies on all sides. Ma Yuanwu felt very proud of single-handedly contributing to this situation.
It should indeed be proud, if it weren't for the inconvenience of contact in this era, Ma Yuanwu didn't know how many soldiers and horses in the country would be wiped out after a long time, and if it could be launched at the same time, Datang might be anxious.
However, for the time being in the Tang Dynasty, Ma Yuanwu's move was just to add a little trouble. There are many feudal towns in the country, and three hundred miles out of Chang'an, it is a feudal town. In fact, the defense is still very tight, and there are four major types of these feudal towns.
According to Du Mude's division method, it can be roughly divided into four categories. One is the defensive type, which is divided into two small kinds, one is the frontier defense, the other is the inland defense, the frontier defense, probably in the northwest and southwest, such as Fengxiang, Suining, Xichuan, etc.
Inland defense of Xuanwu, Wuning, Zhongwu, Heyang, Yicheng, Hedong and other Jun towns. Then there are the towns in the form of wealth, and the towns of eastern Zhejiang, west, and Huainan. Ma Yuanwu has to arrange the inside, although there will be some trouble, but in fact, it is okay, the main thing is that the foreign alliance is ruthless enough.
Ma Yuanwu should indeed be proud, he has been diving for several years, using his hands to use the prosecutor's office, and he has to evade the pursuit of Jinyi, and single-handedly provoke the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, he should indeed be proud, but when a person is proud, it is when he should die, and immediately, Ma Yuanwu showed an incredible look.
A sword tip emerged from his chest, he looked in disbelief, just like the big Yi shook his fingers just now, he turned his head tremblingly, behind him was Da Qianhuang, his face was struggling, and with a hard turn of his hand, Ma Yuanwu fell weakly.
Then he heard that Da Qianhuang shouted, the king was assassinated, and the person who came was an assassin sent by the Tang Dynasty, and he understood everything, Da Qianhuang wanted to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, and he needed an excuse, and he was the best excuse, and immediately, he sank into the boundless darkness.
Before he died, what he thought, Li Chen didn't know, and he didn't care, at present, Datang is in trouble, Bohai State, connecting many Yan tribes, plus Shanxi and Murowei people, a total of 300,000 allied troops, invaded Datang.
The Bohai Kingdom swore an oath with three major hatreds, the first of which was that the Tang Dynasty sent assassins to assassinate their monarch Da Yi Zhen. This is really wrong, he has nothing to do with sending assassins to kill the monarch of a distant country. However, it was too late to say these things now, and after getting the news, several Jiedu envoys suspended the attack on Youzhou and defended on the spot.
The Hedong army had already retreated, because they still had to guard against the invasion of Shanxi from that side. Cangjing and Yiding constantly demanded additional food and reinforcements.
Li Chen asked Wang Yuankui, the envoy of Hengji Jiedu, who had been restored to the council, to send troops, and also asked both the Ziqing and Wei Bo armies to send troops to support forward. The three towns of Hedong, Zhenwu, and Fengzhou must strengthen their visits and guards to ensure that the enemy does not break through. The imperial court will send reinforcements at any time.
There is a lot of instability in this. Wei Bozhen was reluctant to enter the army under the pretext of insufficient rations, which made Li Chen very angry, and just mentioned the four types of feudal towns, that is, the three towns in Hebei are the most troublesome, and the real ones do not listen to the announcement, and they are classified as the separatist type. It was inconvenient for him to send troops to crusade, so he could only send important ministers to pacify.
The good news is that the Ziqing Festival envoy did not delay, and the whole army crossed Hengji Town and went away like a scene. In Hengji Town, Wang Yuankui did not disappoint him, and also sent troops, sending his son, concubine son, and Wang Shaolie to lead the army.
Except for a few troops, the more worrying ones in defense are the party members. Speaking of which, Ma Yuanwu was able to connect the coalition forces of various ethnic groups outside the Saiwai, and it was also related to Li Chen at that time, and his handling of the surrendered party members indirectly pushed behind his back, which contributed to the alliance of all ethnic groups outside the territory. This was probably what Li Chen had not expected.
