Chapter 289 [Conquering the World]
In fact, this is not difficult to analyze, the Silla army sent troops all the way away, and after the victory, they retreated all the way back, which shows that the Silla army's trip is extremely targeted and purposeful! If you go deep into danger, you will have something to seek! Silla is going to fetch something back, and this thing will become a pawn for him to fight against the Tang Dynasty!
This thing is the Goguryeo rebels! Silla's trip to Liaodong was to meet the Goguryeo rebels! There is only one explanation! Silla has blatantly declared war on Datang, so let's look back, why did Silla, who has always been willing to surrender to Datang, make such a crazy move, and bite Datang in turn after Datang saved him from danger several times? Here, I'll try to make it as simple as possible.
It's not difficult, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests! As can be seen from Silla's subsequent actions, King Kim Ph-min of Silla was a ruler with great ambitions!
His aim was to eliminate Baekje and Goguryeo, unify Samhan, and realize the unification of the Korean Peninsula. However, relying solely on their own strength, under the joint suppression of Goguryeo and Baekje, it was still difficult to protect themselves, let alone unify the three Koreas.
So, Silla hugged Datang's thighs. With the help of the power of the Tang Dynasty, in just nine years, he completed the great cause that he had not completed for more than 160 years - the destruction of Baekje and Goguryeo successively. However, when the Tang Dynasty sent troops and helped it clean up the surrounding environment, Silla failed the efforts of the Tang Dynasty and began to think about it, dreaming of annexing the Korean Peninsula alone.
Silla forgot jì, "The cities of Liaodong are all Chinese counties", this is not what you Silla should take! It's your fault for moving things you shouldn't! Silla's strategyKim Famin's strategy is:
The northern line is the hometown of Goguryeo, and the remnants of Goguryeo were supported and supported to set off a rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, so that the attention of the Tang Dynasty was focused on the hometown of Goguryeo, so as to drag down the already overstretched forces of the Tang Dynasty.
The southern route is the hometown of Baekje, after the rebellion of Goguryeo dragged down the Tang Dynasty and left the Tang Dynasty with no time to look south. Launched an invasion of the hometown of Baekje.
Kim Famin succeeded! In June 670 AD, the Goguryeo Jian Mu Cen (also known as Tong Mu Cen and Nian Mu Cen) gathered the remnants of the poor Mu City in the south of Goguryeo to set off an anti-Tang restoration movement.
So he went south along the Hungang River (present-day Taedong River in North Korea). Entered the remote area of Pyongyang, where the Tang Dynasty was weak, and slaughtered the officials appointed by the Tang Dynasty in the local cities along the way, moving closer to Silla. Why did Jian Muzen move closer to his old enemy Silla?
He saw the true purpose of Silla from Silla's move to send troops to Liaodong two months earlier, and he knew that Silla needed Goguryeo's help to expel the Tang forces; Equally. In order to recover Goguryeo, I also need Silla's help; As a result, the two sides with their own needs smell the same!
When Kenmucen led his troops to Shiye Island in the West Sea, he met An Sun, a descendant of the royal family who had defected to Silla a year earlier and had been settled there. Jian Mou Cen revered An Shun as king and established an anti-Tang government in Seoul.
After all, it is more convenient to act with the descendants of the royal family as the order, and throughout the ages, all the restoration movements need the participation of the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty in order to appear justifiable. It's easy to get popular support! For example, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang pretended to use the name of Gongzi Fusu, and the near Baekje Fukushin used the name of Prince Fuyufeng after the fall of Baekje, etc., all of which mean this.
Immediately after the establishment of the Goguryeo puppet government, Gimmu-cen sent people to Silla to ask for recognition of the legitimacy of his regime and support for it, after all, it was within the territory of Silla. In the notice submitted to Silla, Jian Mou Cen made the most of his sycophants: "I am willing to be a feudal screen and be loyal forever." Then, Kenmucen began to wait for Silla's reply. Pity. He didn't wait for a reply from Silla, but he waited for the Tang Dynasty's conquest army first!
If the pseudo-Goguryeo royal family wanted to extinguish the fire, it had to be extinguished before the fire was burning, but unfortunately, the fire still burned.
Although Datang's response was still very fast! After discovering the rebellion of Jian Muzen. The Tang Dynasty immediately "took Gao Kan as the head of the march on Dongzhou Road, and Li Jin as the head of the march on Yanshan Road, and sent troops to ask for it (Jian Mu Cen)" - the 220 historical materials of the "New Tang Book" did not leave a record of the battle between the two sides, only the internal changes of the Jian Mu Cen rebels after the Tang Dynasty sent troops "An Shun killed Jian Mu Cen and ran to Silla"
Historical materials only record the cause of "Tang Fabing" and the result of "internal strife", but the process in the middle is not mentioned at all! However, we can boldly reason about the process in between: the reason for the "infighting" is mentioned. The first thing that comes to mind for the vast majority of us is the internal "struggle for power" – which is also the first and most fundamental reason for all kinds of internal strife throughout the ages.
However, we can quickly dismiss this! Because at this time, the rebellion of the Jianmu Cen tribe was not long and was in the initial stage of the rebellion, and there was no right to fight for at this time, so there was no internal contradiction in the struggle for power.
There is no internal cause, that is the external cause - the conquest army of the Tang Dynasty! Let's continue to analyze: it can be inferred that there was a difference of opinion between the two people! Ahn Sun advocated fleeing and continued to flee south to Silla for refuge; Jian Moucen advocated resistance and organized rebel resistance on the spot; It's not my assumption,
This can be argued from the trajectory of the previous two. More than a year ago, that is, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo in 668 AD, An Shun led more than 4,000 households (about 20,000 people) to flee to Silla without resistance, and then for more than a year, there was no action, and he never thought of launching an anti-Tang restoration movement;
And An Shun, before the fall of Goguryeo, ate the king's grain. After the fall of Goguryeo, he dared to take the lead in rebellion in the face of the world's condemnation, and killed many local Chinese officials appointed by the Tang Dynasty, which shows that this person is still very courageous; He not only killed officials, but also killed monks, which is amazing.
Buddhism was absolutely sacred in Goguryeo and was regarded as one of the spiritual pillars of the ruling class. This kind of person must be the main battle faction of the iron plate. In fact, one sentence can also be used to demonstrate Anshun's main battle thought: no war,
What kind of rebellion? After the difference of opinion, if they can't get along, there is infighting, so there is a record of "An Shun killing Jian Mu Cen". Killing Jian Mou Cen, An Shun continued to flee south to Silla, and on the way to escape, he met the messenger Sumeru Mountain sent by Kim Famin, the king of Silla, who brought a reply from Kim Famin, and at the same time, he also canonized An Shun as the king of Goguryeo!
Jin Famin really regards himself as a big country, he is a king canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and now he comes to canonize others, every time he sees this so-called canonization "edict". I couldn't help but laugh – what a joke! Jin Famin's "edict" is not long, but everyone should not be patient.
I'll just put forward a few of them with the effect of a bad joke: "...... Gong (Anshun) took refuge in the mountains and wilderness, and voted single in neighboring countries. Exile is hard, the same as Jin Wen (Jin Wen Gong Chong'er), more prosperous and ruined the country, waiting for Wei Hou (Uncle Kang, the first monarch of the country) to ......""...... The husband and the people shall not be left without an owner. The emperor will have a life,
…… The Lord is in the sacrifice, who is not the public? ……”“…… The ...... of Ce Ming Gong as the king of Goguryeo" Kim Famin humored his descendants while also expressing his true purpose: "...... Gong (Anshun) should collect the remnants, Shaoxing is old, and it will always be a neighbor, and it will be the same as Kundi......"
Goguryeo has perished and been included under the direct rule of the Tang Dynasty, but Kim Famin has recognized the anti-Tang Anshun puppet government, then his ultimate goal is obvious: to support the anti-Tang forces! What ingratitude! After canonizing An Shun as the puppet king of Goguryeo. As the "suzerain", it stands to reason that Jin Famin has to take care of some rewards.
There are many kinds of rewards, including japonica rice, horses, silk, silk, fine cloth, and cotton. How much was the reward? There are details, let's see the "suzerain" Silla's generosity: 2,000 stone of japonica rice; 1 armoured horse; 5 horses of Aya; 10 horses of silk; 10 pieces of muslin; Cotton 15 called! Kim Famin really made a deal that only made money and didn't lose money!
The purpose of canonizing An Shun was to use his status as a descendant of the Goguryeo royal family to order the remnants of Goguryeo to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. Later facts proved that Kim Famin succeeded, and after Jian Moucen, many anti-Tang forces emerged in Goguryeo.
At the same time, for the ability of Anshun. Jin Famin still knows better, relying on him to resist the Tang Army, it's okay to joke, don't take it seriously! Thereupon. After canonizing him as the king of Goguryeo, Kim Famin placed Ahn Soon in the former Baekje territory of Geummaha Nag (present-day Iksan County, North Island of Jeolla, Korea) and enshrined him.
The former Baekje Territory's Golden Horse Nagisa? Former Baekje territory? Baekje? In 660 AD, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Baekje, the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion was set up in its capital Sihyun to manage the hometown of Baekje, which should be the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Because this place has been invaded by Silla!
After the Governor's Office of Xiongjin succeeded in provoking the anti-Tang movement of the remnants of Goguryeo. Kim Fa-min launched a large-scale attack on the former hometown of Baekje, that is, the territory of the Xiongjin Prefecture of our Tang Dynasty. Note that this shows "Large-scale". Why?
Because before this, Silla had already begun to slowly encroach on Baekje's hometown, but the scale was not large, occupying a small town today and stealing a small piece of land tomorrow was at most a petty theft.
Every time after stealing, I always have a weak heart, and the lines of Song Xiaobao, a patient from Shenyang No. 2 Mental Hospital, in this year's Zhao Benshan's sketch "Rich", are: "Uncle, my psychological quality is not good." ”
That psychological element is not good, and I am afraid that I will be cleaned up, so I have to apologize. So after Jin Famin finished stealing, he sent an envoy to Datang to ask for guilt. As for the envoy's speech, it was not recorded, and I thought it would be okay to continue to use Song Xiaobao's lines, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I did this for the first time, and I swear that I will never do it again in the future."
This, this sock will be given to my aunt, wearing it is old and sexy, and it will definitely conquer you.
......" However, what Jin Famin sent was not a sock, but a "magnet", and Datang didn't know what to do with it. Ouch, that's far away. Go back to the basics!
In this way, Jin Famin became a professional thief, as everyone knows, whenever he does this kind of thing, he basically starts with a weak heart and trembling hands, but with the increase of the number of times, his courage gradually increases, so Jin Famin slowly develops from the initial "bad psychological quality" to "bold".
Quantitative change and quality change! Jin Famin has successfully transformed, he has experienced many times of stealing, he has changed from a professional thief to a robber, and he has learned to rob with open fire! In 670 AD, that is, the first year of Xianheng of the Tang Dynasty, the 10th year of King Wenmu of Silla, autumn and July.
Silla "raised troops to fight Baekje" - "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" Silla Benji three-way army entered Baekje, and after just a month of fighting, it invaded 82 cities in Baekje (Baekje is also 200 cities) and killed more than 9,000 enemies! On average, nearly three cities are captured every day, and Silla's combat power has skyrocketed! However, looking at the problem, we need to look at what the Baekje hometown of Silla was like before the war.
At this time, what was the situation of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion in the Tang Dynasty, the hometown of Baekje? It is called the hometown of Baekje, but it is actually the territory of our Tang Dynasty. In the face of Silla, it was even vulnerable, and the teacher lost his land?
Incredible! Let's start with the origin of the Kumatsu Prefecture. In 660 AD, that is, the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty, after the destruction of the country expert Su Dingfang led the army to destroy Baekje, the Tang government set up five prefectures in the hometown of Baekje, including Xiongjin (the remaining four prefectures are the Mahan Prefecture, the Dongming Prefecture, the Jinlian Prefecture, and the De'an Prefecture) to manage the prefectures and counties in the hometown of Baekje
(such as the first Wang Wendu and later Liu Renyuan, Liu Renliang, etc.) or Baekje people (such as the former Baekje prince Buyulong), the rest of the governors and the governors of the subordinate prefectures and counties all adopted the principle of "helping people to govern the economy", "promoting the governor of the canal, for the governor, the assassin history, and the county order to be reasonable"
——"Records of the Three Kingdoms" From the Benji to 665 AD, that is, in the second year of the Tang Dynasty, due to the restoration of Baekje and the lack of strength of the Tang army, the Tang Dynasty adjusted the administrative organs of Baekje's hometown, and combined the five prefectures into a unified Xiongjin Prefecture Governor's Office, which still governed Sihunseong.
The current hometown of Baekje is also the Kumajin Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the Metropolitan Governor is Buyeolong. For the new territory of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, Datang is very concerned, after all, it was fought hard by sending troops and food by himself.
However, this is an enclave after all, and it is next to Silla, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves. At that time, Silla was still nominally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and it was still an ally in the war against Goguryeo. But as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people.
This is also the normal state of the country. Understandable! As a result, the Tang Dynasty decided to use "Xinyi" to restrain Silla and protect the Xiongjin Governorate. Later facts proved that Silla Kim Famin did not accept the "Xinyi" set.
In layman's terms, it is not about credit! Under the auspices of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Silla, the Governor of the Jirim Prefecture, Kim Famin, and the Governor of the Xiongjin Prefecture Governor, Fu Yulong, met in the Xiongjin Prefecture Governor's Residence, and after consultation, the two sides established friendly relations and wrote an oath of alliance.
