983, every inch of land must be contested
"Your Majesty, what do you Silla want?" Jingwen asked.
Since this question can't be avoided, Jingwen can only ask directly, anyway, he knew it would have been solved earlier. If you don't know it, you can't solve it, so you have to figure it out.
"We want to follow our current division, north of Pyongyang City is the territory of Daetang, and south of Pyongyang City is our Silla territory. How about dividing it like this, with the city of Pyongyang as the boundary? Kindman said.
"This is absolutely impossible!" Jingwen immediately said angrily, because the problem he was most worried about had arisen, that is, Silla wanted territory.
According to Jindeman's statement, it is simply cutting meat on the strategic goal of Datang. What the Tang Dynasty wanted to do this time was to recover the four counties of Liaodong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the four counties of Liaodong were Xuansu County, Lelang County, Zhenfan County and Lintun County, and later Zhenfan County Lintun County was merged into Lelang County. And Jingwen went to the secretary to find some rare books before he set out on the expedition, and then found the administrative division of Lelang County. Of course, Jingwen knew that the southernmost part of Lelang County, that is, north of the Han River, that is, north of the Han River, which was later Seoul, South Korea, was once Chinese territory.
And now that Goguryeo has surrendered, it stands to reason that Goguryeo's territory should be recovered. The goal of the Tang Dynasty is to recover the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty, that is, at least to completely recover the territory north of the Han River, so as to complete this strategic task. But now Silla wants to use Pyongyang City as the boundary, which means that a large amount of territory is assigned to Silla's side, and Silla wants more territory so that it can satisfy Silla's appetite. But this is not something that Jingwen can accept, after all, they came in a hurry this time, is it just to fight this sandwich rice?
"General Jingwen, now these places are occupied by us Silla." Kindman said.
Kinderman's meaning is obvious, that is, now these places are occupied by Silla, do you want Silla to spit it out? Something that has been eaten in the mouth since ancient times. It's impossible to want them to spit it out. It's like Goguryeo, they have encroached on so much territory in the Central Plains, and if you want them to spit it out, it's impossible. Unless the Tang Dynasty exterminated them, they didn't want to return to these territories at all, so this is the reason for this fight against Goguryeo. And what Kindman means is that these territories are occupied by Silla, so don't think about Silla spitting it out, unless you can also destroy Silla.
"It's still impossible, the hometown of the four counties of Liaodong is the goal of our Datang this time, and I won't be able to give it to you!" Jingwen said.
But Jindeman smiled and said, "General Jingwen." Your wife, my cousin, Kim Seung-man, is your future wife, in fact, ......"
"Don't get close to me, I regard the interests of the country as more important than my family!" Jingwen said.
Of course, Jindeman knew that it was very difficult for Datang to give up its claim to the territory south of Pyongyang this time, so Jindeman actually had no good way. And since Silla occupied these territories, it was impossible to lose them at the negotiating table. If she, the queen of Silla, loses the territory defeated by the Silla soldiers at the negotiation table, then I'm afraid she won't have to be the queen anymore, and she will go home to marry and raise children. So Kindman also has no choice, she must fight for every inch of land.
And now the situation is also obvious. The interests of both sides are too far apart. Jingwen was of course an angry young man in later generations, and he was very happy that the Han Dynasty had pushed its territory north of the Han River. Later, Jingwen was not just a dream, China was able to recover all the territory north of the Han River on the Korean Peninsula. And now that Jingwen has the opportunity to do this, how could Jingwen miss it? If this time the territory north of the Han River is lost in Jingwen's own hands. That Jingwen really has no face to meet future generations. Therefore, if Jingwen loses these territories north of the Han River at the negotiating table, then Jingwen will simply hang himself and apologize.
So it is impossible for both sides to give up, and the Han River basin can be said to be a granary of the Korean Peninsula. This is where food is produced on the Korean Peninsula. If Jindeman gives Datang, then the food in Silla will depend on Datang's face. If a country can't even make its own food, then what hope does the country have? Therefore, many countries are pursuing food self-sufficiency. Otherwise, the people of the country and the people's livelihood will have to look at the face of a foreign country, and that foreign country can blackmail you at any time, and Silla will naturally not be able to lose this Han River basin.
Both sides have no choice but to do their best to fight for it, and absolutely cannot lose their territory at the negotiating table. But the problem now is that both sides can't start fighting, Datang can't continue to fight, if Silla continues to be destroyed, then the "international image" of Datang will be very poor, and then these surrounding subject countries will take the initiative to collude to defend Datang. As for Silla, as long as Datang doesn't take the initiative to attack them, they won't take the initiative to attack Datang, after all, their strength is much worse than Datang.
"Trouble!" Jingwen thought secretly.
According to this situation, when everyone is unable to use force to solve the problem, it is often a delay. Jingwen Judging from the experience of later generations, in later generations, China actually had territorial disputes with many countries, but everyone did not want to use force. In the case of nuclear weapons in the future, once the two sides use force, it will be a nuclear war, so the territorial issue has been left unresolved. And once neither side can solve the problem by force, in the end, the two sides will balance each other, and the territorial issue will become a confused account.
Isn't the problem of Datang and Silla the same now? Neither side can directly solve the problem by force, so both sides have scruples about not being able to use force, and in this case, they can only delay each other. And now Jingwen can be sure that it will be more difficult for the two sides to quarrel with a result. After all, no one can use force, so this is simply a headless public case. Once Silla occupies that land for a long time, I am afraid that the final result will be that Silla will completely eat this land, so now the more time drags on, the more it is not good for Datang, so Jingwen also has a headache.
"Damn, this woman is really not simple, she actually saw the problem here. People who can be queens, especially those who are queens in this era of male superiority and inferiority, are definitely not ordinary characters. Jing Wen thought to himself. (To be continued......)
