Chapter 403 Goryeo Envoy
The top is good, and the bottom is effective.
With Zhao Pu's efforts, Jiangnan, who was originally weak, began to recover a trace of martial spirit.
There is no area that is inherently weak, only a weak people. And the folk customs can be transformed, and continuous brainwashing and continuous system transformation can create a martial style.
The literary style of Jiangnan has always been weak and lacks the style of martial arts, but under continuous transformation, it can still become a martial place.
First of all, in the Gangnam area, a sports association was established, and sports meetings were held regularly, and many sports programs were set up. In order to cultivate the martial spirit of the people through sports. To a certain extent, sports for all is essentially martial arts for all.
Secondly, in the imperial examination, it was transformed, and some materials were added to the imperial examination, and sports results were added. The physical fitness of scholars is specially assessed, and those who are too poor are not hired at all.
This drew some opposition, but it quickly subsided.
In some schools, military training programs are set up, and every six months, a ten-day military training is carried out, in order to start fighting from a baby.
It also set up a military academy, and sent some literati with military positions to the academy for training, not asking them to become famous generals, at least not to make some low-level military mistakes.
This is a series of combination punches, which have been executed one after another since Zhao Puding was in Hangzhou.
After more than four years of hard work, there is finally a hint of gain. At this moment, Jiangnan is still weak, but it is not as fragile as in the past.
And with Hangzhou as the center, it does the best.
After all, Hangzhou is the capital at the moment. Resources in all areas are tilted to the best of their ability. At the feet of the Son of Heaven again, under Zhao Pu's nose, the supervision is powerful. Do your best.
With the prevalence of martial arts, it brought sufficient and excellent military resources to the Great Song Dynasty.
Everything is changing.
As eight years passed, Zhao Pu finally made a slight transformation of this world, and Da Song moved forward slowly according to the template he designed.
…………
And at this moment, the Goryeo envoy arrived in Hangzhou!
"Xuan Goryeo envoy to meet the ministers-" "Xuan Goryeo envoys to meet the ministers-" passed one by one.
"Messenger of the lower kingdom. Meet the Emperor! The Goryeo envoy knelt down and offered the highest courtesy.
The two-year-long war finally came to an end, and the Jin army was defeated. withdrew from Shandong, although the Song army also suffered losses in the northwest, but overall, it was the Song Dynasty that took advantage.
The news soon spread to the kingdom of Goryeo.
Goryeo shook the whole country. The whole court was in a state of panic. was originally undecided, but now he finally bowed his head.
Goryeo was originally a subject state of the Song Dynasty, but since the rise of the Khitan and the rise of the Jurchens, Goryeo has been under great pressure and has begun to waver. And a few years ago, half of the country was lost, which made the Song Dynasty lose face. Completely made Goryeo despise the Song Dynasty.
It's just that the situation is changing too quickly. Goryeo never dreamed of it. The Jurchens in their heyday, in a short period of time, were beaten to the heart of the heart by the Song army, and some areas lost one after another.
At this time, it can't be delayed, and if it drags on, the huge navy of the Song Dynasty will land in Liaodong and completely annihilate this small country.
Soon, Goryeo reacted quickly and sent a team of envoys with a large number of gifts to begin paying tribute to the Celestial Empire.
After arriving in Hangzhou, with the Goryeo envoys entering the city, the whole Hangzhou was a sensation again, and the people in the city took to the streets to watch the Goryeo people, and everyone raised their eyebrows, which was very kind of regaining the taste of the glory of the past. After all, the shame of Jingkang left too much pain, and first the envoys of Western Liao entered Beijing, and then the envoys of Goryeo entered Beijing, which finally saved a trace of face.
On the Golden Luang Palace.
Looking at the Goryeo envoy, Zhao Pu's mood was complicated.
Goryeo is the future of Korea.
In a way, Goryeo was happy. In the Tang Dynasty, when Japan invaded, the Tang army helped Korea and fought the Battle of Baijiangkou; Later, the rise of the Khitan and the rise of the Jurchens both invaded southward, bringing disasters to the Song Dynasty, but as long as Goryeo paid some tribute, it could be peaceful and peaceful, and it was never annexed. It was not until the rise of the Mongols that Goryeo perished; And at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, this was to get rid of Mongolia and become independent again. By the rise of the Manchus, the Ming Dynasty was often harassed by the Manchus, but it was very peaceful with Korea, as long as some tribute was enough, and it did not annex Korea.
It was not until later, during the Sino-Japanese War, that Korea was annexed by Japan.
But after World War II, it quickly became independent.
Throughout the history of Korea, except for the Mongol era and the invasion of Korea after the First Sino-Japanese War, it was in the stage of independence for a long time.
On the other hand, China is much more pressurized, and needs to constantly fight and resist foreign invasion in order to ensure security. Even so, it has experienced massacres again and again. Compared to North Korea, China's tragic fate.
To some extent, this reflects the happiness of the weak.
Weak but rich, often inviting invasions; But weak and poor, few people invaded.
There are beautiful flowers growing on the ground, and many people will come forward to pick them; An ant on the ground, if it is not pleasing to the eye, may be trampled to death if it lifts its foot; But there was a pile of stinking dog shit on the ground, and no one would step on it for fear of getting dirty shoes.
In a way, Goryeo is stinking shit
Goryeo is poor and white, there is nothing, the benefits of invading Goryeo are too small, and those heavenly kingdoms in the Central Plains are too lazy to invade; And the Khitans, Jurchens, Manchus and the like are too lazy to invade, even if they succeed in capturing it, it is still a mess, and the cost of governance far exceeds the benefits.
Only the Mongols invaded Korea, because the Mongols did not pay attention to the benefits of war, but only to the pleasure.
Only Japan invaded Korea, more to use Goryeo as a springboard to invade China; Another reason is that Japan is poorer than North Korea.
Because it's too poor, it's too bad, and no one will invade.
This is also where Goryeo's happiness lies.
When the Song Dynasty experienced the humiliation of Jingkang, and when Zhao Pu fought a difficult battle, the people of Goryeo were living a happy and peaceful life.
If it weren't for the use of North Korea as a springboard to invade Liaodong and form a joint attack with the Song army in Shandong, no one would think of Goryeo.
"Flat!" Zhao Puyi, who was high above, raised his hand.
"Emperor Xie!" The Goryeo envoy got up.
"Your Majesty, Weichen finally met the emperor! Woo woo ......" said the Goryeo envoy and cried, "Over the years, the Jurchens have risen and embarrassed me Goryeo everywhere, and the life of Goryeo has been very hard......"
The Goryeo envoy was like a long-tongued woman, chattering endlessly, mainly accusing Jin Jun of his crimes, accusing Jin Jun of exploiting Jurchen, trying to arouse the resonance in Zhao Pu's heart, after all, both countries had suffered aggression.
And Zhao Pu listened, but there was some disdain in his heart, what could Goryeo exploit and plunder.
Goryeo is more of a speculator, constantly betting and reaping benefits.
It wasn't until the Goryeo envoy finished crying that Zhao Pu said quietly: "Messenger, hard work!" ”
"Wechen is not hard!"
The Goryeo envoy stood up, a tear still shining on his face.
At this time, a speech official pointed at the Goryeo envoy and glared at him: "A small country, shameless! The emperor has sent envoys to form alliances many times, but Keer and other small countries have repeatedly prevaricated, don't you think that the heavenly soldiers dare not fight Goryeo? Jin Guo is still not afraid, what is a small Goryeo, what if he provokes His Majesty, what about destroying the country? ”
"Seeing profit and forgetting righteousness, now seeing that my military is victorious, I have come to meet each other, it is really shameless!"
There is something good at the top, and there is something at the bottom.
Because of the martial arts of His Majesty the Emperor back then, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty spoke very impulsively.
The courtiers spoke out one after another to accuse the Koreans, and the words were fierce, and one or two were jealous and hateful.
The Goryeo envoy did not react, smiling, calm, and did not say a word.
After a long time, the courtiers were tired and gradually stopped talking.
Zhao Pu smiled and said: "Your envoy has worked hard from afar, I don't know what is going on?" ”
"This is my Kingdom Book!"
The Goryeo envoy took out the letter of state written by the lord of Goryeo himself, and handed it to the eunuch in the palace respectfully, who held it and presented it to the emperor.
Zhao Pu unfolded the national letter, roughly read it, the national letter was obedient, the whole article was extremely flattering, servile and bent the knees, compared Zhao Pu to a loving father, himself to a filial son, and the words were humble to the extreme.
Putting down the national letter, Zhao Pu said: "So, you Goryeo want to pay tribute to the Celestial Dynasty again and return to the tributary system of the Celestial Empire?" ”
"Ask the emperor for mercy!" The Goryeo envoy said, "My lord and the eight million people of Goryeo have asked the emperor for his permission!" Our country is willing to be a vassal of the Celestial Empire, pay tribute every year, and be a vassal every year, and dare not disobey the order for generations. ”
"Oh, it's quite sincere!" Zhao Pudao said that this national letter is not like a national letter, but like a letter begging for mercy, and people are always very sincere when they beg for mercy.
The Goryeo envoy said: "My king asked Weichen to bring countless tributes, including a ginseng plant, which is a thousand-year-old treasure. My lord knows that he does not dare to use the blessing without permission, and he is dedicated to the emperor, may the emperor be eternal in youth, immortal for ten thousand years, and live with heaven and earth! ”
Damn, Lao Tzu has become the leader of the East!
Zhao Pu's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Filial piety has been accepted, then it's time to talk about how to fight the Jin Army together!" ”
The Goryeo envoy smiled and said, "In addition to jewelry and ginseng, I also brought ten women from famous Goryeo families to present to the emperor." ”
Zhao Pu nodded and didn't say anything.
Then the Goryeo envoys all said some nonsensical words, mostly compliments, but they have been avoiding forming an alliance with the Song Dynasty to jointly fight against the Jin army.
"I don't know the covenant, can the lord think about it?" Seeming a little impatient, Zhao Pu asked.
"Our country is weak, not as good as the Jurchens, if we form an alliance in vain, I am afraid that there is a danger of destroying the country, please forgive your majesty!" The Goryeo envoy said with difficulty.
Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Jin Kingdom, Goryeo cannot afford to offend. At this moment, Goryeo wanted the policy of non-alignment the most, and watched from the side of the two countries' troops, but with the rise of the Song Dynasty navy, everything came to naught, and it was impossible to achieve neutrality.
"Wow, that's a refusal!" Zhao Pu's smile disappeared, and his tone became cold: "Messenger, please go!" The tribute is also taken, and these gifts are not blessed! ”
