In late September of the fourth year of Jingdeok, the state of Goryeo was destroyed.

First, Sun Quanzhao rushed ashore with more than 20,000 soldiers, killed all the Goryeo soldiers outside the city, and then attacked the city. At this time, Kim Zhiyang, the minister of Goryeo, suddenly betrayed the Goryeo kingdom and ordered his cronies to open a city gate, and the Song army quickly entered the capital of Kaijing.

In the evening, the soldiers and nobles who resisted in Kaijing City, as well as the royal family, were all killed or captured under the leadership of Jin Zhiyang.

The next day, Kim Zhiyang did a controversial thing, beheaded Wang Su and his clan, and then changed the name of the country to Silla.

For this matter, Song Jiu has discussed for a long time, according to Li Di's opinion, it is to bring Wang Sui back to the capital, first, the Song Dynasty has captured another emperor, and second, it can also form a constraint on Jin Zhiyang in the future.

However, in the end, Song Jiu decided to put Wang Su to death.

The first one is that he has prestige while he is alive, which may lead to a strong resistance.

He gave an example that after the Tang Dynasty pacified Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty had to move Goguryeo, most of the wealthy families and hundreds of thousands of people to various parts of the Central Plains due to the incessant resistance of the Goguryeo people.

But later the rebellion still did not stop, of course, some of them were the ghosts of Silla, so Tang Gaozong issued an edict to let Goguryeo King Gaozang return to Liaodong with some of the relocated people, but when he arrived in Andong, Gaozang had an antipathy, and luckily detected it in advance and recalled it.

There is another person, that is Li Jishou.

Don't say that the imperial court is not confused, as long as it continues to follow the methods of the Tang Dynasty, then it will continue to be confused.

Therefore, it is tacitly accepted that Jin Zhiyang will kill the royal family, as well as those treaties.

The first is bounded by the middle and lower reaches of the Datong River and the Gaima Plateau, which is the national boundary between the two countries. The northern part of the Datong River, including Pyongyang and the Gaima Plateau, was the territory of the Song Dynasty. To the south is the territory of Silla.

Maybe the Koreans felt very aggrieved, but Song Jiu felt even more aggrieved. Even if it is according to the territory of Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms, then it is at least to the north side of Kaijing City.

However, in order to end the war quickly. In order to give Jin Zhiyang an account to his subjects in the future, he had to make this concession.

The second Jin Zhiyang liked it very much, once the war subsided and the border was divided, Song Jiu would let the officers and soldiers cooperate with him and forcibly drive all the people of Datong Jiangbei to Jiangnan.

This measure will allow Jin Zhiyang to gain more people. But Song Jiu was also forced to make this decision, it was impossible to appease him on the spot, did he expect Jin Zhiyang to be honest in the future? Maybe the story of the Tang Dynasty will be staged again. Moving to the northeast, the consequences could be even more severe. Resettlement to the Central Plains. Don't say that you spend a lot of financial resources, you are going to go down soon, maybe in the future, for the sake of friendship between the two countries, Zhao Heng will send the people back.

That is, for a long time in the future, in addition to the barracks, the rest of Datong Jiangbei became a deserted place. But Song Jiu firmly believes that it won't be long before this place will prosper again, and if nothing else, let's talk about Fujian Road, because there is a way out. The tragedy of drowning one's own child is rarely the same. There is no land, no land, no house, but there are still large tracts of land in the far south where their children can survive and have a way to live. Why do you want to drown your own children?

Even Song Jiu secretly authorized the bank to open a South China Sea remittance business and pay some handling fees. I got money in the South China Sea, and I could send it back to my hometown. There are many aspects of the Song Dynasty that Song Jiu is not used to. But in terms of internal governance, it is almost impeccable, after all, this is in ancient times!

It is believed that there is no danger to Liao. In a few years, the country will be more prosperous and densely populated, and then there will be people who will spontaneously migrate to Liaodong and to the Yalu River.

The third is also a mutually beneficial condition, in the future, Goryeo will give up five ports for the Song Dynasty maritime merchants as a transit station, but the tax must be on par with the tax of the Song Dynasty City, how the Song Dynasty collects the tax of the Goryeo people over there, the Goryeo people can collect the tax of the Song Dynasty here, but not higher than the Song Dynasty tax rate, and can only levy transaction tax, and do not extort merchants when they do not trade. At the same time, officials will be sent to each other, and if there is a dispute, they will be resolved through negotiation. As a reciprocity, the Song Dynasty also set aside some post houses in the five major cities of Youzhou, Mizhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou, and let Silla station officials to negotiate a settlement of disputes between Silla merchants on the Song Dynasty's side.

Article 4 If there are people from both sides who go to each other's country to work, study, do business, or other circumstances, they must be certified by the local government before the other side can receive them, otherwise they will be severely punished.

This is to prevent both sides from sending scouts to inquire or instigate against each other.

The Koreans took advantage, but the Northeast was still unstable, and Song Jiu didn't want to have much trouble with Silla in the future.

Fifth, the Song Dynasty could send troops to unify all the places south of the Datong River on behalf of Jin Zhiyang, but after reunification, Jin Zhiyang must express his sincerity to the Song Dynasty. This is what Jin Zhiyang needs most, otherwise, relying on him, what ability does he have to unify?

Later, however, another article was added, and after the Song Dynasty, a batch of copper coins and jiaozi were transferred every year and allowed to circulate to Silla as the quasi-currency of Silla.

Goryeo was even more short of money, and with currency, the country could be more prosperous.

However, the Song Dynasty also lacked coins, so the circulation of copper coins and jiaozi was strictly controlled.

This problem is not big, the mining industry in the Song Dynasty gradually developed, the amount of various metals increased year by year, and even found many mineral deposits overseas, this Song Jiu did not participate, but some maritime merchants found out, including the iron-rich ore in Oceania.

Moreover, with the guidance of Song Jiu, gold and silver were circulated in the Song Dynasty, and with the cooperation of a small number of Jiaozi, the currency would not be too nervous after a few years. As long as the currency problem can be solved, Song Jiu also longs for the currency of the Song Dynasty to be the quasi-currency of the world, which is also an influence.

It should be said that except for the territory that made Jin Zhiyang a little uncomfortable, the other Song dynasties made concessions.

This is also Song Jiu's psychology, quickly end the use of troops, once the end of the use of troops, there will be no trouble and follow-up war, so he took the initiative to make some concessions.

And Song Jiu also "tailored" Jin Zhiyang throughout the whole process, including this time as the king.

There are two choices, one is to slowly become the king and accumulate grain, and the other is to quickly become the king. Song Jiu chose the latter.

The first is to allow some of the confused Goryeo people to find their new masters as soon as possible, the second is to quickly identify the opposing forces and concentrate their efforts on striking at them, so that the Song Dynasty can send troops, but it cannot fall into a quagmire war and a protracted war, and the third is to quickly split Goryeo so that it can annihilate the main army in northern Goryeo.

But it's not that easy.

It's October. Kang Zhao asked Wang for help, but the news came. It is said that the Song army launched a sudden invasion from the sea, and Jin Zhiyang rebelled. Having established himself as the king of Later Silla, he was dumbfounded.

The descendants of the Wang family are not only in Kaijing, but also in other places, and he immediately found a descendant of the Wang family, Wang Kuo, as the new king, divided heavy troops, and went all the way to the south.

However, as soon as he divided his troops, the Song army approached the city.

The other powerful ministers in Goryeo have been learning from Kang Zhao and supporting their agents. In just one month, six or seven new emperors of Goryeo appeared, and then they crusaded against the traitor Kim Zhiyang, but except for part of Kang Zhao's army, everyone else was shouting slogans. How to crusade? At this time, tens of thousands of Song troops were gathered in Kaijing City, and at the same time, a large amount of grain and grass materials were transported on the sea.

Sure enough, Kang Zhao's army had just crossed the Datong River. It was Jin Zhiyang's army that united with the Song army to defeat it.

Kang Zhao was very depressed, so he sat back and waited for winter to come.

When the weather is cold, the Song army withdraws, and the army can go south, and the situation will be decided in one fell swoop.

But he was wrong. At this time, the Song Dynasty was different from the Tang Dynasty, if it was the Tang Dynasty, would it take so much effort to use Song Jiu? It's been a long time ago.

It is not the same as the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin conquered Goryeo twice. They were all afraid of the severe cold, and they had to retreat at the very end.

However, what kind of winter clothes was Tang Jun wearing at that time? A sackcloth is stuffed with three taels of kapok wool. That's winter clothes.

At this time, Song Jun was wearing an authentic cotton coat.

Some even have good conditions at home and have begun to wear new down jackets and woolen sweaters. With these clothes. Without fighting, the Song army was able to operate in the northern part of the Outer Khing'an Mountains in winter.

It didn't hurt to fight, the deep winter came, and the Song army was just on the defensive, avoiding a lot of sacrifices due to clumsiness in the field.

This is the same as supporting Jin Zhiyang, that is, to achieve strategic goals at the lowest cost.

Kang Zhao united some forces, but sacrificed countless subordinates throughout the winter, and only captured a few city passes, on the contrary, seeing that his attack power was not strong, a heavy snow flew away, and many Haoqiang and the old city lord of Goryeo sent envoys to express their sincerity to Jin Zhiyang.

Before you know it, spring is coming.

This is not good news for Kangzhao. So it was decided to withdraw troops from the Yalu River and go all out to attack Kaijing.

Yet after a winter, the situation has long been very different.

The Song army first took the so-called Tokyo, the Goryeo state was divided, and the thousands of soldiers in the north had no intention of fighting, and surrendered one after another, allowing Song Jiu to be sent to the mines.

Then part of the army was sent south.

Most of the tribes took refuge in Goryeo and could not fight together, so they selectively selected several typical ones for suppression. For more than two years, it has been gold and silver, and the ingredients can be seen together. But it can't be taken seriously, such as Nanzhao began to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and after the strength was strong, everything was different.

It can only be said that a little support for some loyal tribes, and the conversion of land to exile is too radical and will cause riots, but division is still the main theme of governance in the north.

Joining forces with these tribes, several typical tribes were severely suppressed, and even two tribes were wiped out entirely, and when spring came, the situation on the Gaima Plateau and Changbai Mountain was completely reversed, and most of the tribes expressed their refuge to the Song Dynasty. What else should I do? Or take refuge in Kang Zhao, can Kang Guang represent Goryeo, or take refuge in Jin Zhiyang, what is the difference between that and the Song Dynasty?

Kang Zhao is retreating.

The Song army divided into a part, swooped down from the Gaima Plateau, and blocked the Kang Zhao army in the Jingrong County Basin, and then the Song Dynasty pursued the troops to kill, Jin Zhiyang personally led the New Silla army to kill, the three armies were flanked, Kang Zhao's army was defeated, Kang Zhao was hacked to death by the rebels, and the puppet emperor Wang Chu was captured alive.

Song Jiu sent an emperor to the capital, that is, this Wang Yu, he didn't have much effect, he just gave Zhao Heng a toy, a small collection.

Kang Zhao's entire army was annihilated, and more people defected to Jin Zhiyang.

In June, the Song army began to slowly retreat from Kaijing, and then divided the national border on the bank of the Datong River, not only the national boundary of the land, but also the national boundary of the sea, with Dengzhou to the Datong River in a straight line, the north belonged to the Song Dynasty, and the southern area was all the middle halves from Dengzhou to Kaijing, the east side of the island and reef was Silla, and the west side of the island and reef was the Song Dynasty, which was more beneficial to the Song Dynasty, after all, Dengzhou stretched out.

But in this day and age, who pays attention to the power of the sea?

Kim Zhiyang laughed and said that he had signed a treaty.

Then the boundary monument was erected on the land demarcation line, and the Song army began to expel the people, which was a little ruthless, and even the people who expressed their loyalty and willingness to stay were forcibly relocated to the south of the Yangtze River. There are also some people who fled from Liaodong who asked to stay, but they were also not allowed, and they continued to be second-class citizens.

This has led to some voices of impeachment.

Even Zhao Heng issued an edict to veto Song Jiu's approach, but at that time, the people had already moved away, and the edict had no effect.

may have done something wrong, but Song Jiu has no regrets, this is a move to solve this trouble once and for all, at least there will be no rebellion in the territory.

At the end of June, the last Song troops withdrew from Silla.

But at this time, Silla still has a lot of separatist forces, but that is Kim Zhiyang's business, if even this little rebellion can't be suppressed, why did he have the idea in the first place?

But with the withdrawal of these troops, it also means the end of an era. (To be continued......)
