Chapter 158
So Wang Jian's second son Wang Yao succeeded to the throne, and Goryeo Dingzong. He outlived his brother, became emperor for five years, and died in 949.
Next, it was Wang Jian's third son, Wang Zhao, to succeed him, that is, Goryeo Guangzong.
In just one day, the Fuso army occupied Gongju and Geumseong. Wherever the Fuso army passed, all men, young and old, were slaughtered, and in order to record their exploits, the soldiers of the Fuso army cut off the noses of the killed Goryeo, soaked them in salt water, and collected them in their bags. Toyotomi Shixu of Higo Province ordered the Fuso army in Gongju and Geumseong to immediately go north, and at the same time ordered the remaining 170,000 troops to begin landing in Goryeo. A steady stream of soldiers was sent to the land of Goryeo.
It was not until the third day of the landing of the Fuso army that King Zhao of Gwangjong of Goryeo, who opened the capital, received the news.
In a hurry, Wang Zhao was still a little self-aware, and Goryeo might not be able to stop Fusang's big attack.
The first target that Wang Zhao thought of was the Central Plains, because the Central Plains had already helped Goryeo win a war against Goryeo in the Tang Dynasty.
But Wang Zhao knew that the Central Plains was now divided into several countries, so Wang Zhao hurriedly sent envoys with property and women to ask for help from the two countries in the Central Plains.
At the same time, he also sent envoys to bring goods and women to ask for help from the Liao State.
At this time, Goryeo was adjacent to the Liao State, so the envoy sent by Wang Zhao to the Liao State for help brought twice as much money as the envoy to the Central Plains.
After sending envoys, Wang Zhao began to mobilize tens of thousands of troops north of Kaegyeong, Goryeo, and gathered at Hanyang City in Yangguang Province and Chunju in Jiaoju Province south of Kaegyon, preparing to resist the Fuso army.
At the same time ordered. Prepare to flee to West Gyeongning Province.
On the 26th day of the first lunar month, when Toyotomi Shixu led the last group of Fuso troops to the territory of Goryeo, it was already announced that the end of Goryeo was imminent. Because there will be no Han army to save them this time.
Toyotomi Shixu ordered to leave 10,000 troops behind. Occupy the two prefectures of Luo and Jin, and all the remaining armies will go north.
……。
Guo Wei is now working hard to manage internal affairs with Baili Wuji.
People fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a pillar of incense, and is hit by the wild words of Baili Wuji for six months to extinguish Zhou.
Guo Wei's heart suddenly rose, so it was better than Bibi.
Since the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, in order to make armor, materials were collected from the people. One of the most important is the strict management of cowhides. It is forbidden for the people to buy and sell privately, and as long as you have it, you must sell it to the government.
After the Tang Dynasty Mingzong's life, the government did not give money to collect cowhides. Fooled the common people with salt and sent things away.
When the Later Jin Dynasty blessed Shi Jingtang, he didn't even give salt.
Liu Zhiyuan built the Han Dynasty, and the law was the most severe. The people bought and sold cowhides without permission, and one inch was punished by death. But it is indispensable for the common people to use it. Many people have lost their lives in vain because of this harsh government.
So Guo Wei issued an edict to the whole country, where a cowhide is committed, the prisoner will be imprisoned for three years, and the stabbing will be punished with a heavy weight, and the staff of this section will be ninety; If there are more than two, he shall be put to death, and the rank of this section shall be imprisoned for two and a half years, and the stabbing shall be punished with a heavy weight. The informant was rewarded with fifty thousand, etc. This greatly mitigated the killings caused by the use of cowhides by the common people themselves and exchanging them with each other.
Soon. Guo Wei changed the edict again, reducing the number of cowhides collected over the years by two-thirds, and the remaining one point was spread into the acres, ten hectares of seedlings in summer and autumn, and a piece of horned cowhide. The skin is sent to the state government by the people themselves, and the government to which it belongs must not take the opportunity to embarrass it, and the rest is up to the people to use and buy and sell for themselves. Except for the prohibition of selling to enemy countries, the rest is left to the people themselves.
Guo Wei's decree was strongly supported by the people of Zhou, and Guo Wei's reputation was greatly enhanced in the Central Plains.
At this time, in Yanzhou (now Dingbian, Shaanxi) north of Zhou Guoyang (now Qingyang, Gansu), there were green and white salt land, and according to the old practice of the previous dynasty, a stone of green salt was taxed 800 Wen; One stone of white salt draws 500 wen and 5 liters of salt.
No, Zhou Guoqing stabbed Shi Guo Yanqin into greed, and increased taxes privately behind the back of the imperial court. One stone of green salt draws a thousand dollars, and one bucket of salt. The party members and Han people in Qingyang and Yanzhou all relied on selling salt to the interior of the Central Plains to support their families.
There are many sheep and horses in the local party, and Guo Yanqin deliberately disturbed them to ask for bribes.
As a result, the pheasant tribe was unwilling to be oppressed and began to rebel, and Guo Wei heard the news and ordered Ning (now Ning County, Gansu) and Huan (now Huan County, Gansu) to join forces to suppress it.
He also ordered the Baoyi Festival to make the envoy of the Jie Congruan (the grandfather of the famous She Saihua She Lao Taijun) as the envoy of the Jing Difficult Festival (now Bin County, Shaanxi), and Zhang Jianwu, the assassin of Ningzhou, and the emperor Fujin of Huanzhou, discussed the pheasant tribe.
In order to appease the Dangxiang clan, Guo Wei ordered Congruan to be subordinated to Ruan, and asked him to tell the leader of the pheasant clan that as long as he could reform himself, he would give them an official reward of gold and silk, otherwise he would enter the army to ask for it.
Zhe Congruan immediately sent a letter to the party members, including the Pheasant Clan, the chief of the Seven Gates, Li Wanquan and other twenty-one clans, willing to accept the edict and swear not to rebel again; The rest refused and refused to surrender.
Qingyang cattle killing clan and pheasant tribe has always been contradictory, hearing that the Zhou army crusaded against the pheasant tribe and sent money and food to the Zhou army, I don't want to, the generals of the Zhou army actually coveted their money and robbed the whole cattle killing clan, so the cattle killing clan followed the opposite.
In the end, Zhang Jianwu of Zhou led a large army to defeat the combined army of the Ox Killing Tribes and the Pheasant Tribes in Baoshan.
After the rebellion was quelled, Guo Wei deposed Guo Yanqin and personally stipulated a salt tax, which was punished by two catties for smuggling. one or two to one pound of rods eighty, with service; more than one pound and less than five pounds, three years; If the weight is more than five pounds, he will be put to death.
scraping alkali to refine private salt, less than one catty, three years of service; A rod weighing more than a pound shall be put to death. as well as provisions and penalties for reporting, arresting, and trading.
It also strictly ordered the state and county governments not to collect taxes without permission.
Since then, the rebellion of the various ethnic groups of the party has been quelled.
But before Guo Wei could calm down, Yanzhou Jiedu made Murong Yanchao show his antipathy.
This Murong Yanchao was originally Liu Zhiyuan's half-brother, and when Guo Wei led the army into Bianjing, he volunteered to fight Guo Wei at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and was defeated, and then fled to Yanzhou.
After Guo Wei entered Bianjing and ascended the throne as emperor, Murong Yanchao was frightened, so he sent an envoy to pay tribute and claim to be a minister.
Although Guo Wei didn't believe that Murong Yanchao could be honest, he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling man, since he bowed his head and called his minister, he couldn't kill him again, otherwise, if it was spread out, would anyone dare to come and surrender?
So Guo Wei comforted and appeased, and also awarded Murong Yanchao as the Zhongshu Order.
But Murong Yanchao was still unstable in his heart, the previous battle outside Kaifeng Mansion kept him awake at night, not to mention, how could he be comfortable under Liu Zhiyuan under Guo Wei, and he also had a special identity as a "brother" under Liu Zhiyuan.
And after Baili Wuji occupied Xuzhou, Murong Yanchao thought that the opportunity had come, so he began to recruit outlaws and accumulate salaries.
At the same time, he sent people to contact the Northern Han Dynasty to raise troops together, and also sent envoys to Jinling to deliver a letter, contact with the Ming Kingdom, and make preparations for the start. (To be continued......)
