0697 [Wagging Tail and Begging]
Wanyan Zonggan is the eldest son of Aguta, and he is also the father of Wanyan Liang, the future king of Hailing.
This person once served as the national commentator, and he was also on an equal footing with Wan Yanxie. At this year's Bo Jilie Conference, he took the initiative to abdicate as the first deputy prime minister in exchange for the command of the Bohai army in Liaozhong.
This time, he led troops to recruit Goryeo, and only brought 3,000 Jurchen soldiers, and the rest were all Liaozhong and Bohai Navy.
Li Hyo-seon, the Baozhou garrison of Goryeo, woke up and suddenly found that the Jin army had been killed on the other side of the river.
Li Xiaoxian recruited young people in the city while sending people to recruit farmers in the suburbs, and at the same time sent fast horses to gallop to Beijing to ask for help.
Although the Jinguo Shipyard on the north bank of the Yalu River was burned down by Li Bao, there are still many pieces of wood that have survived.
These timbers were made into simple rafts, and more than 10,000 Jin troops quickly crossed the river.
The city of Baozhou was soon besieged by the Jin Corps.
Wanyan Zonggan did not immediately attack the city, but asked the soldiers of the Bohai tribe to persuade them to surrender everywhere outside the city with shields on their shoulders.
The shouting of the Bohai soldiers was like this: "Listen to the Bohai people in the city, don't forget the blood feud. Quickly kill the Koreans, help Dajin open the city gates, all the meritorious ones will be rewarded, and you can also bring your family to the country of Jin to get a share of the land! ”
Hearing this, Li Xiaoxian's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said to the herald: "Tell the soldiers in the city that they are all Goryeo warriors, and there is no distinction between the Goryeo and Bohai tribes here." As long as you kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, the court will be rewarded! As long as I stick to it for one day, I will send a one-day reward, and I can receive it when I change the guard every day. ”
After all, the blood feud is too far away, but the reward issued by the guard is in front of him.
The bullshit has done a lot of shit.
A hundred years ago, in order to make Goryeo a minister, the Liao State promised to give hundreds of miles east of the Yalu River to Goryeo.
But the land was given to the land, and the Liao State moved away the already small population.
In order to enrich the population of the frontier, the Goryeo Kingdom lured the Bohai people north of the Yalu River to move south, and secretly contacted the Song State and declared itself a vassal to the Northern Song Dynasty.
Because the Bohai people could not bear the exploitation of the Liao State and the preferential treatment policy on the Goryeo side, they fled to the Baozhou area one after another, and built six towns for the Goryeo State. Namely, the six cities of Koto.
The Liao State found out that Goryeo had lured its own people, and it was also eye-catching with the Song State, and immediately stationed troops on the north bank of the Yalu River to threaten them.
The king of Goryeo was frightened, and he did not dare to take in the Bohai tribe anymore, and did not dare to put them back to enrich the Liao border. So the king of Goryeo played a trick and carried out a large-scale massacre of the Balhae refugees who were lured to Goryeo!
There are still a large number of descendants of the survivors of the Bohai tribe in Baozhou and the surrounding six cities of Jiangdong, and even among the soldiers defending the city.
How could their grandparents have been forgotten in such a short period of time?
In addition, when the Liao State fell, tens of thousands of Bohai people also escaped, and there were still 20,000 or 30,000 left. These new immigrants from the Bohai Sea are also closely related to the descendants of the original survivors.
Wanyan Sect Gantun troops outside the city, while building siege equipment, while sending people to continue shouting.
At the same time, the troops were divided to besiege the six cities in Jiangdong, which were all small mountain cities, and the scale was not as good as the towns in Zhejiang. But it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there will definitely be a lot of casualties in a hard fight.
The descendants of the survivors of the Bohai tribe in the six cities of Jiangdong account for at least 30% of the total local population.
If you add the new immigrants at the end of Liao, the proportion of the Bohai ethnic group is estimated to reach 50%.
Wanyan Sect cadres sent people to persuade them to surrender, promising a lot of benefits, and in less than ten days, two mountain cities appeared Bohai soldiers defected, and cooperated with Jin soldiers to quickly take down the mountain cities.
Then the defective Bohai Navy was dragged to other mountain cities to shout, and the remaining four mountain cities also followed the civil strife.
So far, Baozhou has become an isolated city.
Faced with such a desperate situation, the Goryeo court was slow to send a large army to help, and the Baozhou garrison Li Hyo-san quickly made a decision to follow the will of his ancestors.
Surrender the city!
The gate of Baozhou was opened, Li Xiaoxian led the troops out of the city to present the map and household registration, and knelt down incomparably and said: "Sin general Li Xiaoxian, knock on the Dajin noble general!" ”
Wanyan Zong smiled dryly: "Very good, you are very interesting." ”
Li Xiaoxian not only surrendered quickly, but also planned to lead the way: "The nobles don't know that the nobles of Goryeo and Beijing fought among themselves, and the nobles of Kaijing imprisoned the king. The nobles of Xijing hijacked the Taiyuan Duke of the clan, and raised troops to rebel on the side of the Qing monarch. The army of Liangjing is fighting, and the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers will definitely be able to quickly capture Liangjing when they kill it at this time! ”
"And that kind of thing?" Wanyan Zonggan was overjoyed.
Li Xiaoxian said: "The sin general is willing to be a pioneer for Dajin, please borrow 500 gold to ride the national railway." ”
Wanyan Zong smiled dryly: "Then lend you five hundred Jurchen Iron Horses." ”
"The last general will be set to die for the Dajin Kingdom!" Li Xiao first swore an oath, and then kowtowed frantically to thank him.
The two major forces in Goryeo were at war, and the Kaegyong faction had the upper hand, so that the Xigyeong faction could not take care of itself.
The Goryeo army in other state capitals has long been siphoned off by the nobles of Liangjing. The Jin soldiers were already extremely strong, and Goryeo was empty of troops, and they were killed by Wanyan Zong to Pyongyang in half a month.
Knowing that the base camp of Pyongyang was besieged, the Xijing faction troops on the front line were disorganized, and they were defeated by the Kaegyung faction army and collapsed on the whole front.
"Sikong, news is coming from the north that Xijing Pyongyang has been captured by the Jin soldiers!"
Hearing this urgent military situation, Jin Fushi, who colluded with the Jin people, the party to fight for betrayal of the country, and put the king under house arrest, did not show the slightest panic.
He seemed to have expected it a long time ago.
Jin Fushi quickly made a decision and said to a few henchmen around him: "Let the envoys of Haizhou Port immediately go to Daming to pay tribute to move the rescue troops." Send another messenger to Xijing to ask for a meeting with the commander of the Jin soldiers, and ask them how they are willing to retire. ”
As long as the Xijing faction can be killed, the nobles of the Kaijing faction headed by Jin Fushi don't care about any national interests at all, and it doesn't matter how many people are burned, killed, and plundered.
Moreover, these disasters had to be blamed on the Xijing faction, and it was they who deceived the people into inducing the king to send troops, which led to the Jin State sending troops for revenge and ruining lives.
……
Pyongyang.
Wanyan Zonggan lived in the Goryeo Imperial Palace, and he had divided his troops to occupy the nearby port of Nampo, and even captured two Ming maritime merchants from Shandong.
Wanyan Zonggan said: "If you are willing to give Dajin an internal response and pass on some news every year, you will let go of all the people and goods." There is no danger, I will keep people in the port, and when you do business, just tell the news to the people I stayed. ”
A maritime merchant angrily reprimanded: "If you want to say more, if you want to kill or chop, hurry up." Although I, Fan Chengli, am a businessman, I have also read the books of sages, how can I be such a traitor who seeks glory! ”
Another maritime merchant knelt down and kowtowed frantically: "The general spares his life, and the villain is willing to do internal response." ”
"Very good," Wan Yan Zong smiled smugly, pointing to Fan Chengli, who refused to cooperate, "Drag this person out and kill him, and remove all the goods on his ship." ”
Fan Chengli was dragged out and scolded the merchant who was afraid of death: "You can't die well, Your Majesty will definitely raze you to the three clans!" ”
The merchant shrank into a ball of fright, and fell to the ground shivering.
Wanyan Zonggan beckoned: "Come and speak." ”
The merchant shuddered and crawled forward.
Wanyan Zonggan asked, "What's your name?" ”
The maritime merchant poured beans like a bamboo tube, and quickly said a lot: "The villain is called Qian Cishan, who was originally a person from the former Song Jiangnan." The villain's brother is Qian Chen, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty, and he heard that he could make a lot of money doing business in Goryeo, so he got a sea boat to sell goods to Goryeo. This is the first time I came, and I was arrested by the general before I could make any money...... The general spares his life, the general spares his life! ”
Wanyan Zonggan's eyes lit up: "Your clan brother is the head of the Ming Kingdom?" ”
"It's not too close, it's already out of the five suits, and the villain hasn't gotten any benefits from his brother," Qian Cishan kowtowed frantically again, "I just ask the general to let me go of a dog's life, and the general can take the goods on the ship." ”
Wanyan Zong smiled dryly: "Your ship has been detained, and the goods on board are also mine." How can you exchange my goods for your life? ”
Qian Cishan was instantly dumbfounded, and looked at Yan Zonggan in a daze.
"Hahahaha!"
Wanyan Zonggan was extremely proud, and continued to threaten: "Even if I let you go back, that merchant is killed, but you can escape back alone, isn't it suspicious?" ”
Qian Cishan knelt on the ground and trembled with fear, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "The villain is willing to invest gold, and if he doesn't return to Daming, please take it in the general!" ”
Wanyan Zonggan asked rhetorically: "There is no shortage of you as a merchant in the Dajin Kingdom, why should I take you back?" ”
When Qian Cishan heard this, he knelt there with empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
Wanyan Zong came up with an idea and said, "I can have people move the goods, and then make the guards get drunk." You take the opportunity to take your crew and escape back to the ship and go back empty. Your goods are converted into money, and every time a message is delivered, you are repaid a sum of money. ”
Qian Cishan listened stunned, and then nodded like a convulsive.
Wanyan Zonggan said: "Don't think about returning to the Ming Kingdom, and you will never go to sea again." If you don't come to deliver the news within half a year, I will send someone to Kaifeng to spread it, so that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom will also know that you are colluding with Dajin. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Qian Cishan cried.
Send this person away, and after Yan Zonggan waited for a while, an attendant came to report: "The crews of the two ships have been examined, and the one surnamed Qian often boasts that his clan brother is the head of the household." But his henchmen said that these are all boastful words, and the surname Qian is far from the bloodline of the Ming State Household Department. ”
Wanyan Zong smiled dryly: "As long as it can be used." ”
That Qian Cishan, after returning to the detention house, has always been in a state of being unrelenting.
It wasn't until the night that the henchman came to him and asked, "Can you escape?" ”
Qian Cishan said in a low voice: "If you can escape, let us do the internal response." What do you say? ”
The confidant said: "I said that you are bragging, and you are not a close relative of Qian Shangshu, they probably believe it." ”
Qian Cishan sneered: "Looking for an opportunity in the future, I will go to Shangjing in the Jin Kingdom to have a look, and let the straight lady thief kneel to Lao Tzu today!" ”
Qian Cishan is indeed Qian Chen's brother, and he has just come out of the five suits.
After the opening of Dengzhou Port, no private merchant ships dared to go to Goryeo to do business, so Qian Chen wrote home and told his brother about this way of making a fortune. The brother was not interested in being a maritime merchant, so he told the brother and was willing to invest in the shares, and the two families bought a boat together.
Shi Yuangong has always wanted to send spies to Goryeo, but there are no private maritime merchants in Dengzhou Port.
Due to the successive victories in the war against Kim last year, this year there are finally maritime merchants who dare to go to Goryeo to do business. The intelligence officers sent by Shi Yuangong selected Qian Cishan as soon as possible, and also wrote back to Beijing to inform Qian Chen.
This so-called henchman is the head of the Goryeo intelligence station.
The next day, the guards were very drunk, and Qian Cishan took the opportunity to escape back to the ship with a group of crew members.
And the messenger sent by Jin Fushi also arrived.
A middle-aged official bowed down and bowed: "The little minister Jin Fu, who serves the imperial history in the Goryeo Palace, and meets the prime minister of the Dajin Heavenly Dynasty." ”
Wanyan Zong shouted angrily: "You are so bold, you surrendered to Dajin in exchange for the land of Baozhou, but you rebelled and sent troops to attack your father's country!" ”
Jin Fu said: "Prime Minister, the matter of sending troops to rebel is done by the nobles of Xijing to bewitch Your Majesty. However, my nobles in Kaijing have always been loyal to Dajin, and even the news of my country's dispatch of troops has sent someone to inform Dajin in advance to take precautions. ”
Wanyan Zonggan was no longer angry when he heard this: "Is it a letter written by you?" ”
"Exactly," said Kim Fu, "the Kaegyong nobles have always been loyal to Daikin, and this time they have eliminated the Xijing people who betrayed Daikin, and from then on Goryeo will respect Daejin as their father's kingdom for generations." ”
Wanyan Zonggan asked, "What about the lord of Goryeo?" ”
Jin Fu replied: "Your Majesty is still young, and needs to be taught by Confucianism, and in the future I plan to devote myself to studying." His Majesty accepted four more side concubines, all of whom were daughters of the Kaijing clan. With everyone's beautiful ladies as virtuous helpers, His Majesty the King will definitely be more calm in the future, and will not do anything to attack his parents' state again. ”
Wanyan Zonggan said: "Although you secretly reported the news, it is true that Goryeo sent troops to rebel, and I brought many soldiers and horses over. People eat horses and chew, and the grain and grass have to be taken care of by Goryeo. ”
"Please tell me the exact number, Prime Minister." Jin Fu said.
Wanyan Sect's dry lion opened his mouth: "One million stone grain!" ”
Jin Fu was embarrassed: "This lot of food, even if we are willing to give it, we can't raise it for a while." ”
Wanyan Zong said: "Give 200,000 stones first, and the rest of the 200,000 stones per year, if you don't promise me, I will fight all the way to Kaizhou!" ”
"Minister...... The ministers really can't be the masters, so they have to go back and discuss with the ministers. Jin Fu said.
"Then you can go back and discuss." Wanyan Sect trunk road.
After Jin Fu left, Wanyan Zonggan began to raid his house in Pyongyang.
This is Seogyung, Goryeo, and it is the commercial center of Goryeo. The alluvial plain of the lower reaches of the Taedong River is also one of the main agricultural granaries of Goryeo.
Jin Guo can grab countless money and food!
The goods and food stolen by the Jin people with their ability are naturally not counted as the military expenses for Goryeo's compensation.
After grinding for more than half a month, Wanyan Zonggan had almost grabbed it, and Jin Fu finally came back to bargain.
The results of the peace talks between the two sides are as follows:
First, the king of Goryeo had to go up and confess his sins.
Second, Goryeo must compensate the Jin State for 1 million stone of military rations, with a down payment of 150,000 stone this year, and the rest to be paid in five years, with no less than 200,000 stone per year.
While the Goryeo ministers were raising grain, Wanyan Zonggan continued to plunder the cities and villages along the Dadong River.
At the same time, tens of thousands of Bohai people from Baozhou were forcibly relocated to Liaodong to enrich the population.
Li Xiaoxian, the defender of Baozhou in Goryeo, also returned to the Jin State with his army, and was appointed as the general of Gaizhou and the governor of the state - the city there had been burned by the Ming army, and the people in the suburbs were mostly taken away by Yelu Yujian, and Li Xiaoxian took the army and civilians over to fill the white land.
It lasted for more than a month, and Pyongyang, along with the lower reaches of the Taedong River, was robbed of hungry people everywhere by Wanyan Zonggan.
And the ministers of Kaijing in Goryeo really looted 150,000 stone of grain and sent the Jin soldiers who had done all the bad things out of the country.
The envoy sent by Goryeo to the Ming Dynasty knelt on the ground in Kaifeng and cried: "Your Majesty, Emperor of the Holy Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, I, Goryeo, have broken with the Jin Kingdom in order to submit to the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty of our country also drove the Jin country in person, but unfortunately he was beaten to the point of losing his troops. Now that the Jurchen barbarians are invading, they also ask the Ming Dynasty to canonize the king, and then send troops to help attack the Jurchens! ”
The nobles of Kaijing in Goryeo naturally did not think that the Ming Dynasty would really send troops.
The real intention of these guys is to take advantage of the invasion of the Jin State to express their complete break with the Jin State, and then ask the Ming Dynasty to send an envoy to canonize the king of Goryeo.
As long as Zhu Guoxiang sent envoys to canonize him, it was tantamount to acknowledging the control of the Kaijing faction over Goryeo.
At that time, they would have won the support of the Ming and Jin emperors.
Next, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, who wins, they help whom.
If the Ming Dynasty won a decisive victory, Goryeo would rely on the remaining military rations that should be compensated, and even take the opportunity to expand the territory. Then they came to Kaifeng to cry, saying that in order to help Daming, how badly they were blackmailed by the Jin State, and the country was hungry and begged Daming to give food relief.
Zhu Guoxiang looked at the crying Goryeo envoys, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't Master Miaoqing come to the Ming Dynasty last time?" ”
