Chapter 247: The Northeast War
All the words on the monument are from the hands of Ma Lan. Only he is qualified to inscribe on the monument, how can anyone else have this qualification.
At this point, it became possible to assemble a fleet to go around the Arabian Peninsula and go to the African continent to catch black slaves. Wannian City will become the home port of this fleet, and Penglai Island will become the barrier of Wannian City.
The fleet and the casting of cannons will take time, and they will have to wait for Master Li Xiu to come over, but the construction of Wannian City will start immediately. When the monument of King Jigong of Fufeng County was erected on the coast, the construction of Wannian City had already begun in full swing.
The Turkic miscellaneous soldiers were comfortable all the way, and now it was finally time to work hard, and under the order of Khiberye, all the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers temporarily became coolies, and began to build the city together with the Persians captured nearby.
At the same time that Ma Ling erected a monument to build a city in the distant Persian Gulf, in the distant Liaodong, Li Jing, the deputy envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, also erected a huge monument in Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, Bohai State.
……
Li Jing has been aggressive in Liaodong and Liaoxi for more than a year, killing the Khitan and Xi people so frightened that they fled to the deep mountains and did not dare to come out, the territory of the Bohai State and the Khitan people were connected, and when Li Jing's army pursued and suppressed the Khitans, he went in and out of the border of the Bohai State from time to time, which made the Bohai King Da Qinmao frightened three times a day.
In addition to the original Pinglu military horses and the more than 10,000 captured troops he brought from Chang'an, in the past two years, two Beijing children have voluntarily gone to Liaodong to become his subordinates.
These children of the two capitals were inspired by the continuous good news of the Northeast War situation, and wanted to immediately gain fame like Li Jing, and the Son of Heaven was extremely fond of Li Jing, breaking the restrictions on the number of soldiers of the Pinglu Jiedu envoys, and sending all those who were willing to make meritorious contributions, as a result, the number of soldiers under Li Jing was already more than 100,000.
The Bohai State is a domain of the Tang Dynasty, nominally subordinate to the Hebei Province of the Tang Dynasty, and the direct administration of the Bohai State is the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, and the hereditary Bohai County King of Da Qinmao is still a subordinate of Li Jing, the deputy envoy of the Pinglu Jiedu.
Li Jing's soldiers were strong and strong, and Da Qinmao didn't dare to offend him at all, and he didn't dare to say a word about the Tang army's continuous entry and exit from the Bohai border.
Under Li Jing's order, the capture army and the children of Liangjing who later joined the army were dispersed into a small team of one or two hundred people, chasing the Khitans into the mountains, exchanging the skulls of the Khitans and Xi people for money, and one skull can be exchanged for one money, as long as it is a Khitan or a white-headed Xi, regardless of men, women, old and young. Yiqian had a strong purchasing power here, and as a result, many Goguryeo and Tatar people also joined in the hunting of Khitans and Xi people in exchange for bounties.
After such a period of time, the Khitans fled farther and farther, and the Bohai people were able to see fewer and fewer living Khitans. In the end, the Khitans were almost no longer visible on the border of the Bohai Kingdom.
If the Khitans can't be found, the army of the Tang Dynasty naturally wants to find other things to do, and it is impossible to live in peace and clothing. Li Jing's 100,000-strong army was outside the border of the Bohai Sea, and the more Da Qinmao thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and he couldn't sleep peacefully every night.
When Li Jing personally led an army of 20,000 into Yalu Mansion under the pretext that dozens of Khitans had fled into Yalu Mansion in Xijing, Bohai State, and after Lai did not leave Yalu Mansion, Da Qinmao, the king of Bohai, finally collapsed completely.
He was a wise man, knowing that small states like Silla and Bohai had been able to survive before, not because the Tang Dynasty was not strong enough, but because the Tang Dynasty was subject to Tibet in the west and could not concentrate on dealing with them. Now that Tubo is over, even Nanzhao has surrendered to Datang, Datang is already worry-free, where does he dare to start a war with Datang at this time.
After the envoy sent to Yalu Mansion to negotiate was sent back by Li Jing with his nose cut, Da Qinmao did not hesitate at all and immediately made the decision to move the capital.
This young disciple of the Tang Sect is obviously not ready to be reasonable, such a person can't afford to be provoked, so he can only stay away. The family has already occupied the Xijing Yalu Mansion, and it is not far from the Beijing Xiande Mansion in the capital, and at this time they are still staying in the Wangdu Xiande Mansion, and if they are looking for death.
Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan, Da Qinmao is also a decisive person, in the second time to send people to Li Jing to express surrender to the Tang Dynasty, immediately issued an order, the capital of the Bohai State from Zhongjing Xiande Mansion to the north, moved to Shangjing Longquan Mansion.
When the news came out, the whole country was shaken, and the people of Xiande Mansion helped the old and the young to migrate with Da Qinmao, but before they reached Longquan Mansion, Li Jing had already personally led the army to catch up.
By this time, Da Qinmao had to fight, but Li Jing's 20,000 troops were all elite cavalry, and there were 8,000 Tongluo cavalry as servant troops.
Da Qinmao abandoned the people and fled all the way north, and did not dare to stay in Longquan Mansion, and fled directly to Huaiyuan Mansion in the northernmost part. He had already made up his mind, if Li Jing chased him to Huaiyuan Mansion again, he would have to flee to the territory of Heishui Yan and then make plans.
Li Jing's army pursued all the way, stopped when they reached Longquan Mansion, and did not continue to chase north. Here Li Jing began to appease the people and extort Shi Jigong.
Shangjing Longquan Mansion is already the northernmost of the five capitals of the Bohai Kingdom, and the east of Longquan Mansion is the Tokyo Longyuan Mansion of the Bohai Kingdom. By this time, the five capitals of the Bohai Kingdom have all been behind the army, among which the Xijing Yalu Mansion, the Zhongjing Xiande Mansion, and the Shangjing Longquan Mansion have all been directly occupied by the army, and the Tokyo Longyuan Mansion is also the meat on the side of the Pinglu military horse's mouth, and the Nanjing Nanhai Mansion on the south side of the Yalu River can also be taken at any time.
The Khitan savages and Baektou Xi have almost been killed, and the rest of the Northeast Front are the Bohai Kingdom and Silla. These two countries have been relatively obedient over the years, Silla has never dared to cross the Datong River, and although the Bohai State has encroached on some territory in front of the Yalu River, it still knowingly retains the road from Datang to Pyongyang, although it is only a narrow corridor, but it can be regarded as giving Datang face.
However, obedience is obedience, and it should be destroyed or destroyed. In the past, Datang was suffering from preventing autumn every year, but now that Tibet is scattered and the major disaster has been eliminated, it is naturally time to solve these problems.
When Ma Ling was building Wannian City in the Strait of Hormuz, Li Jing divided his troops to attack the Tokyo Longyuan Mansion and the Nanjing Nanhai Mansion of the Bohai Kingdom, and at the same time sent people to pacify the people and formally establish order on the land of the Bohai Kingdom.
The territory of the Balhae Kingdom is located north of the Korean Peninsula, and the rulers of the Balhae Kingdom are the Tatar people, but it is a country dominated by the remnants of Goguryeo. Bohai State has been implemented for a long time in accordance with the system of Tang Zhi and Qi people, and there are more than 100,000 households and hundreds of thousands of Dingkou, which are divided into more than 100 counties. These Goguryeo people have also lived in agriculture for generations, and they are no more than the Khitan savages, and they are easy to accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
In the small half of the Bohai Kingdom north of Longquan Mansion, Li Jing has no plans to occupy it for the time being. He has opened the war in the Northeast for more than a year, not just by luck, but by his own strategy.
It is too cold to the north of Longquan Mansion, and the people who live there are all the people in the Bohai Kingdom, and the place where the Heishui Ya lives further north is even worse, and the same is true of the Jurchens of the Muwei people next to the Heishui Ya. At present, there is no need to fight hard with these barbarians, first stabilize half of the Bohai Kingdom, and after stabilizing the order, they will directly cross the Yalu River to deal with the Silla people south of the Datong River.
The Silla people took advantage of the fire to loot and occupy the entire Xiongjin Governor's Mansion and annexed the hometown of Baekje, which made the Tang Dynasty lose face, and now it is time to repay the debt.
……
This era is different from later generations, the greedy but cowardly Silla people never dared to cross the Taedong River, although the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate retreated several times, Pyongyang north of the Taedong River until the Aplu River has always been the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Aplu River is the inland river of the Tang Dynasty.
Collecting the entire Korean Peninsula to make up for the regrets of future generations is something that Ma Lan has always wanted to do, and it has long been in his plan.
This matter was originally thought to be extremely difficult, but now the fledgling Li Jing has sprung up, but he is close to completing his goal.
The sticks of later generations are obviously descendants of Silla, but they always regard Goguryeo's hometown as their own territory, and it is disgusting to let out some idle farts when they have nothing to do.
When the Tang Dynasty completely destroyed Silla and completely incorporated the entire peninsula into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, such a thing would naturally not happen in the future.
The road is far away, and Ma Lan did not know that the situation in the northeast had reached such a good point. Li Jing is his subordinate, he is also the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu and the protector of Anton, Li Jing's victories will be reported to him in addition to playing Chang'an, but when Ma Ling knows this, and he doesn't know when, the situation will definitely change again.
Although he did not capture Daqinmao, he occupied the capital of the Bohai Kingdom and collected hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo remnants, which can also be said to be the result of destroying the country. The news of the victory was sent to Chang'an quickly, and it was not surprising that he would be rewarded by the Son of Heaven soon after.
"I don't believe it, I will do worse than Ma Renjie!" Watching the envoy leave the gate of Longquan Mansion, Li Jing looked to the west, clenched his fists, and said with great ambition, "After entering the court in the future, who can be the right minister is still unknown!" ”
……
Chang'an City.
In Chang'an at the beginning of August, there was already a hint of coolness.
Chen Xilie, the left minister of the Tang Dynasty, returned from dispersion, and just walked into his backyard, a Xinghu maid hurriedly rushed from the backyard with her head down, and bumped into Chen Xilie head-on.
"Be careful when you walk." Chen Xilie is also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and he did not blame this maid, he stretched out his hand to help, but he was empty.
A sneer sounded behind him, Chen Xilie suddenly felt the pain in his ribs, and wanted to open his mouth to shout, but the pain became more and more painful, so he had to close his mouth hard, and his face twitched violently.
"This knife is the price you paid for the incident in Yankangfang!"
The woman's voice was very low, crisp and soft but full of coldness, Chen Xilie tried to open his mouth again, but slowly fell to the ground.
The Xinghu maid glanced at Chen Xilie indifferently, floated out like light smoke, and disappeared without a trace.
