Chapter 291 [Conquering the World]
This is a reply, not a thesis, not a debate competition! Well, let's take a look! In the opening chapter, Jin Famin has his own legal basis for Silla's seizure of the territory of the Xiongjin Governorate, that is, the edict issued by Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, to Silla, which has a sentence:
"I (Lee Semin) pacified the two countries (Baekje and Goguryeo), south of Pyongyang, the land of Baekje, and Silla (竝bìng, with 'and') Silla, forever at ease.
"Where the hearts of the people want, a hundred birds and a phoenix" also means! In other words, Baekje, Silla, etc. are all subject states of the Tang Dynasty, and in layman's terms, they are a province (province) of the Tang Dynasty. No matter who Taizong Li Shimin said is in charge, he can't go past the central government and directly reach out to ask for it, let alone grab it.
Strictly speaking, the incident of Datang sending troops due to Jin Famin's behavior of robbing himself is not Datang's "external" use of troops, but "An's interior": Jin Famin is good at fighting, and this is called "rebellion and rebellion" in the past! My Datang is in "counterinsurgency", it is an internal affair, a family matter!
The above analysis is probably like this, if it's a bit winding, it doesn't matter, I'll hang some current affairs news out, and everyone will understand!
, abolish Qinhuai District and Baixia District, and establish a new Qinhuai District with the area under the jurisdiction of the original two districts; The Gulou District and Xiaguan District were abolished, and a new Gulou District was established with the areas under the jurisdiction of the original two districts...... No matter who is revoked, no matter who it belongs to, and no matter what the name is, the administrative territory of the original Qinhuai District and Baixia District or Nanjing City is under the jurisdiction of Nanjing City, and no matter how it is adjusted, it is still China's territory. Definitely got it now!
For the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between Baekje and Silla was an internal adjustment according to Li Shimin's meaning of "abolishing Baekje and Silla and establishing a new Silla (the name was all named, it was called the Jirim Province Governor's Office)".
Okay, the first question is clear, fortunately we didn't get caught up in Kim Famin! second, Kim Famin's sophistry; In his reply, Kim counted his contributions in the ten years since his accession to the throne, starting with the destruction of Baekje in the fifth year of Hyeongyeong. By the destruction of Goguryeo in the first year of the general chapter, Silla sent troops and food, and the faction was loyal and uncomplaining.
Next, he made a quibble about sending troops to the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion. (For the sake of completeness of the story, I'd like to break it down.) Look at Kim Famin's tricks. The historical materials of the Tang Dynasty do not mention anything about this aspect, so let's start with the reply letter written by Jin Famin himself.
According to Jin Famin's statement, he said that he wanted to send troops to the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion because the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion was untrustworthy! What is the reason? "I am afraid that each other (the Xiongjin Governor's Office and Silla) will be suspicious, and it is advisable to order the officials of the two places. "Mutual hostage" means that in order to build trust between the two parties, the two sides send hostages to each other.
In ancient times, it was the customary method. So how did the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion "fail to keep its word"? "Although the Baekje (Kumatsu Prefecture) promised to surrender the hostages, the city still gathered troops and horses" means that the Kumatsu Governor's Office agreed to send hostages, but there were still soldiers and horses gathered in the city.
Moreover, after my Silla "went to the other city", you Xiongjin Governor's Mansion still "came to fight at night"! Laugh to death! Slippery world! The two sides are sending hostages to each other, and it's good if the hostages are sent, do you still care if people gather or not? Well, what if you gather people?
You can say it yourself. It's in the "city", and I didn't send you Silla! Besides, since you sent hostages to each other, why did you Silla send troops to the Kumjin Governor's Mansion (to the other city)? It's all in the city, and the bullying has come to the door of the house, and people are not allowed to beat you (at night)?
It's like a robber running to your door to show off his might, and you are not allowed to come out to defend yourself, you can only wait to be beaten? What logic! That's what you can say! Shame on you!
Well, even if my analysis is not correct, even if what you Kim Famin said makes sense. Then when this kind of thing happens, you Jin Famin can't act without authorization to invade the 82 cities of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, but should report to the central government as soon as possible, and the upper authorities have their own decision!
But after occupying 82 cities, you thought of sending an envoy to the central government to state the reason. Although you sent two groups of envoys in a row, because your ability to do things is too poor, the envoys have not been able to reach Luoyang, and you can't blame me for the Tang Dynasty, "The country does not descend an envoy, and asks Yuan Yu" Ah!
And the ability of the Xiongjin Prefecture to do things is more reliable, and the envoy was sent to Kyoto. After stating the whole story to the emperor, you falsely accused the wicked people of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion of suing first (-Baekje framed Soyun "Silla Rebellion")! Jin Famin, your mouth is really upside down, confusing the public, more powerful than the Tang envoy who flickered Gao Yanshou, the messenger's mouth is running a train, I see that your mouth is flying a rocket!
Fortunately, we are not high longevity, even if you fly rockets and meteorites, we can't believe you! Jin Famin's reply is probably the main content of the above. In the end, he didn't forget to praise Xue Rengui's "heroic and delicate spirit, and he will be talented,
has both seven virtues, and the nine streams dabble in ......" and hoped that Xue Rengui would say a few more good words for him, saying that he would definitely be a good courtier, be loyal and responsible, and always be a vassal...... Okay, okay, don't listen to his statement here, there is no truth (of course, except for singing praises of virtue), look at his future expression
We don't believe in Kim Famin's sincerity, and of course, Kim Famin himself doesn't believe in his sincerity. Because he is not sincere at all, the so-called "Reply to Xue Renguishu" is just a diplomatic rhetoric that fools people, and it cannot be taken seriously.
No, as soon as the reply letter was sent, Kim Famin made a move! "Place the state of Suofuri, with King Ayu Zhen as the governor" - "The History of the Three Kingdoms" Volume 7 of the "Three Kingdoms" Volume 7 alone such a record will make people scratch their heads: Jin Famin just set up a city, can it be linked to whether there is sincerity? (The administrative regions of the Tang Dynasty were set up as provinces, prefectures, and counties, corresponding to the three levels of provinces, cities and counties today) Then let's take a look at where this Sofuri Prefecture is.
It's a pity that there is such a sentence left in the historical materials, and I didn't know where it was at first, but after scrutiny, I can still deduce it. If a reference can be found, the location of Sovri can be determined. There is no one in the "Benji", so let's look for it in the "Geographical Chronicles" and see if we can dig up some clues! Found :Condition 1:.
The above two conditions can be simplified as: Tangjing County is changed to a state; Only one state of Sofri was established; Combining two points, it can be concluded that Sofuli Prefecture is located in the former Tangjing County, where Tangjing County is located, and the government of the Kumatsu Prefecture (that is, the provincial capital) is north of Siyu Castle.
Once the location is determined, we will continue to dig, what is the intention of Sofuri Prefecture set up by Silla, and is it related to Kim Famin's sincerity? There is a connection. This starts with the origin of the Sofuri state. The name "Sofuri" in Sofuri Prefecture was not newly given by Kim Famin, but had been preserved for a long time, but it was later changed to another name.
Long before the demise of Baekje, there was Zài Sofuli County, which was just an ordinary county in Baekje at first, and there was nothing special. However, in 538 AD, the status of Sofuli County changed and became the county where the new capital of Baekje was located, Sihyeon.
"Baekje...... to the 26th Holy King moved the capital to Sofuli, and the country was called Nan Buyeo"; The name of Baekje was changed to South Buyeo, and Sofuri County was renamed Buyeo-gun. The capital of the country was also set at Sihyeon Castle in Sofuri County, which is now the seat of the Kumajin Governor's Office.
"Buyeo-gun, Ben Baekje Sofuli gun"; The former capital of Baekje, Sihyeonseong, was within the jurisdiction of Sofuri County.
Therefore, the meaning of Kim Famin's establishment of Sofuli Prefecture (the name has been changed from a county to a prefecture, but the actual meaning has not changed) is also understood: that is, the prefecture (provincial capital) of the Kumjin Prefecture is also within the jurisdiction of my Sofuli Prefecture.
The above one is a bit messy, isn't it? I look chaotic, I can't help it, analyzing the problem from the chaotic and primitive historical materials is a chaos! The process is tedious, but the result is clear: Kim Famin cares about lewdness!
If you want to lust me, Jin Famin is to include your government in my territory! Jin Famin's so-called "obscenity" is the definition I gave him, but the real Jin Famin does not have any meaning of obscenity, his real purpose is to demonstrate to the Tang Dynasty - I will never give up the capture of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion!
So is Kim Famin sincere? No! I didn't wronged him! If you are still a little confused by my thinking now, let me tell you an intuitive and similar example, you will definitely be able to understand after reading it:
Kim Fa-min's approach is a bit like the Japanese government's approach today, thinking that changing the name of Diaoyu Dao to Senkaku Islands is your Japanese territory? Send them a word: Get out! Send them two words: lust!
Everyone's brain must be clear now! (Don't blame me for being wordy.) This question also took a lot of time. Although Kim Famin was making a naked threat, in all Chinese and foreign historical materials, there is no record of a large-scale battle between the Tang Dynasty and Silla at the Xiongjin Prefecture until the following year, in 672 AD, when the Xiongjin Prefecture fell.
This is not in line with our perception of Xue Rengui, let alone our perception of Datang. Lost ground without a fight! What is the deep reason behind the fall of the Xiongjin Governor's Office, the death of the previous dynasty, and the fact that the former vassal state of Silla plundered a large territory from the invincible Tang army in the east and west? 1
400 years ago. What exactly is happening on the Korean Peninsula? The truth, we keep digging!
Although the strength of the Tangji coalition army in the Xiongjin Prefecture was very weak, Jin Famin was still self-aware and did not dare to rashly start a direct war with it. Because the person stationed here is Xue Rengui, who once destroyed the will of the 150,000 Goguryeo army.
Even if Silla was able to defeat the existing Tang army with superior forces, it had to be considered that the Tang Dynasty behind Xue Rengui was nominally the suzerainty of Silla, and its strength was several times stronger than Silla. It's for the rat bogeyman too!
Jin Famin had a better way to defeat the Tang army, or force the Tang to withdraw his troops without facing Xue Rengui directly!
That is to adopt the tactic of attrition: the Don army is far from the homeland. The supply was extremely inconvenient, and the war of attrition and protracted warfare dragged down the Tang army and forced it to retreat. In order to force the Tang army back as soon as possible, Jin Famin did not simply wait for the Tang army to run out of food, but also took the initiative to attack the Tang army's sea grain transportation team and strangle the Tang army's life from the source......
(11th year of King Wenwu) on October 6 in winter, more than 70 ships were attacked, more than 100 soldiers were captured, and the dead were innumerable.
In the historical materials, there is no record of the Tang army taking the initiative to attack. Since the Tang army did not come out, then Silla was dispatched. In the first month of the spring of the twelfth year of King Mumu (672 AD), King (Kim Famin) sent his generals to attack the ancient provincial capital of Baekje, and the ancient provincial capital of Kezhi was located 14 miles north of Sihyeonseong, and Silla was approaching the seat of the Kumjin Governor's Mansion in Sihyeon.
"In February of the twelfth year of King Wenmu, he attacked Baekje Garin City, but he did not fight." Garin City, friends who have an impression can still remember, located between Siyu City and Zhouliu City, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the shape is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was a fortress for the Tang army to retreat from the sea and the Yellow Sea along the Baijiang River.
If the city of Jialin is lost, the Tang army stationed in Siyu City will be wrapped in dumplings and will not be able to escape. Therefore, other places can be lost, Garin City cannot be lost, and it is understandable that Silla cannot be defeated.
After the Battle of Garin, there is no record of Tang and Silla fighting at the Kumajin Prefecture. "None"? , where did the Tang army of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion go? - The troops have been withdrawn and returned home. The Don army withdrew? Is there a direct record of historical sources? Still not!
But other historical facts in the historical records can support this! First, in August of that year, Silla sent troops to the hometown of Goguryeo, and there was a large-scale battle with the Tang army at Shimen, in which many high-ranking generals were killed in Silla, including Da Ayu Xiaochuan (a fifth-level official, only a person who is a true bone of the royal family can serve), Ayu Nengshen and Doushan (a sixth-level official), Ilji Anahan and Liangchen (seventh-level official), Sayu Yoshimon, Yamashi (eighth-level official), and so on.
In one battle, one real bone was killed, two sixth-level officers, two seventh-level officers, and two eighth-level officers. This is only on the record, and there should be more of other lower-level officials.
It shows that the people who participated in this battle are definitely the main force of Silla! The main force of Silla came to the hometown of Goguryeo to confront the Tang army, indicating that the threat of the Tang army in the Xiongjin Prefecture had been lifted, and the so-called threat was lifted that the Tang army had withdrawn and the Xiongjin Prefecture no longer had the strength of the Tang army. If it is too hasty to conclude that the Tang army has withdrawn on the basis of this alone, we will find a second corroboration.
Second, "In the eleventh month of the tenth year (671 A.D.), Tsushima sent an envoy to Shamon Daojiu...... He said: '600 people including Guo Wusong, the envoy of the Tang Kingdom, and 1,400 people including Sun Deng, the envoy of Shazhai, a total of 2,000 people, and 47 boats, all anchored on Bizhi Island.
