Chapter 451: Liangshan Infiltration Tactics
There is a small country on the coast of the East China Sea, called Goryeo, also known as the Goryeo Dynasty and Wang's Goryeo, which is one of the ancient countries on the Korean Peninsula. It was in 918 A.D. that Wang Jian, a subordinate of the Gong descendants of the Taifeng monarch, rose up to overthrow the Gong descendants and establish them.
After a total of 34 generations of monarchs and a total of 475 years, Goryeo successively paid tribute to mainland countries such as the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, Northern Song, Khitan (Liao Dynasty), Jin Dynasty, Mongolia (Yuan Dynasty), and Ming Dynasty.
For example, in 1009 A.D., during the reign of King Hyeonjong of Goryeo. Goryeo first broke with the Khitan and had a great war, which burned the city of Kaijing. Later, the relationship with the Song Dynasty was restored, but it was not long before the Khitan came again. A major battle broke out between the two sides, and Goryeo inflicted heavy losses on the Khitan army. The Khitan had no choice but to give up their demands for the return of the six states of Gangdong and the king's pro-dynasty to Goryeo, and Goryeo restored friendly relations with the Khitan in 1022. Throw yourself into the arms of the Liao State and establish the relationship between Zongbo and Fan, as for the Song Dynasty, it was thrown aside!
Another example is the beginning of 1115 A.D., which was the beginning of spring last year! The Jurchen chieftain Wanyan Aguta gathered the large and small tribes and established the Jin Dynasty. The Goryeo Kingdom did not dare to offend, so they sent people to send gifts to express their goodwill. In 1126, the relationship between the Jin Kingdom and Goryeo was changed to a clan relationship, and Goryeo took advantage of the Liao-Jin War to seize Baoju and change it to Nagju, which solved the elbow and armpit problems that had existed for many years, and brought the territory of Goryeo to the Yalu River. had an ambiguous attitude with the Song Dynasty and rejected the Song Dynasty's excuse......
At present, it is the sixth year of the Northern Song Dynasty, 1116 AD.
At this time, there was not much peace in the Goryeo Kingdom.
Or rather, system
Degree solidification leads to decay, which is a common disease of a dynasty.
Similar to the situation in the Song Dynasty, the Goryeo Kingdom was more extreme, directly allocating fields. The aristocracy used their power to annex and expand private land and build private farms. The people had no land, so they could only become slaves, the productive forces were destroyed, and social contradictions intensified. These nobles, large and small, did not have to pay taxes. As a result, the centralization system was greatly weakened, and the national power was gradually declining, and the situation was erosive.
Typical wealthy clans include the Gyeongwon Lee clan (Inju Lee clan), the Hwangju Hwangfu clan, the Guangzhou Wang clan, and the Gyeongju Kim clan and Gyeongju Choi clan from the former Silla dynasty, so it can be said that the situation in Goryeo is quite fragile in terms of both autocratic and centralized power, and it can be said that the situation has returned to the beginning of the founding of the country.
Under normal circumstances, the state of Goryeo lasted until the Ming Dynasty!
But there are unforeseen circumstances, and there are always times when he is abnormal.
Shuibo Liangshan is that uncertain factor, and Ma Ling, the executive military advisor of the cottage, has infiltrated Goryeo with a vote of people since February last year. Relying on everyone's fluent Goryeo dialect, he started from scratch.
Although Goryeo followed the example of the Tang and Song dynasties, its economy developed rapidly.
However, it is lacking in various exquisite handicrafts such as ceramics, silk and wine. Culture and education were also only popularized among the aristocracy, and more than ninety percent of the people had no opportunity to learn, and the untouchability system of the Tang Dynasty was still implemented.
The Korean people have a low cultural index and believe in ghosts and gods very much. Ma Daochang, who is good at reading physiognomy and can speak well, is like a fish in water here. took a few apprentices to open altars in the homes of wealthy families in the countryside, pretending to be gods and ghosts, seeing a doctor and saving a few people, and was regarded as a god by the locals.
The name of Ma Xianshi gradually spread, and his fame grew. admire
There are many wealthy families who come by name, and there are not a few ordinary people, who only hope that the Taoist chief will calculate the fortune plan. With the help of these people, problems such as identity and household registration can be easily solved.
Ma Ling also said that when he was young, he traveled all over the world and met many wealthy families and caravans in the Song Dynasty. Take the opportunity to introduce the Yangsan team to Goryeo to do business. Fine ceramics, fine teas and silks, etc.
Let the rich in these small places resell and make a lot of money. Ma Ling also took advantage of this opportunity to buy land from these partners, and the minions who accompanied him opened village shops to collect information about the Goryeo Kingdom.
As the development progressed, the team built manors everywhere, and the Liangshan base camp sent people to help. Xiao Wei Chi Sun Xin and his mother Gu Sister-in-law are not small. The number of village stores affiliated with Yangsan has increased dramatically, and they are scattered everywhere.
Ma Ling led the overall situation, secretly bought slaves and maids, and absorbed those poor people. As a result, the secret escort team continues to swell and grows in size. And he traveled far and wide, and everywhere he went, he was sure to make friends with the local wealthy. Show them physiognomy feng shui, and sometimes they will also heal and save people.
His reputation as a horse immortal master is getting louder and louder, and he is really being targeted by people with a heart. Until someone came to visit, it was the descendants of the former dynasty Gong Qi. At first, he wanted to ask the Taoist chief to help introduce high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty, hoping to obtain support from the Song Dynasty. Support him, a descendant of the royal family, as he helped the kingdom of Tamna.
Ma Ling pretended to be embarrassed, and finally reluctantly agreed to the introduction. Zhu Wu was wearing a purple official robe, saw Gong Qi, received a lot of benefits, came and went, and finally the "Song Dynasty" promised to support him, a man who had lost his country, to regroup and regain the throne. Obsolete weapons and equipment were sold at a good price.
Originally, horses
The Spirit wants to lead people to find an opportunity to get involved. However, Gong Qi came to visit him again and invited him to join the gang, overthrow Goryeo, and share the wealth.
Ma Ling pretended to be deep again, and only agreed under the repeated persuasion of the other party. And automatically enter the role of military advisor, the first thing is to suggest setting up heavy troops in seaside ports to closely monitor every move of overseas Song people. It also introduced some local tyrants such as Sun Xin, Gu sister-in-law, Wen Zhongrong and so on. These guys all have local identities, and each of them has seven or eight hundred or more than a thousand people in their hands, so they are naturally valued by Gong Qi and regarded as generals.
He also took out a lot of the property left by his ancestors and handed it over to everyone for their development and growth. So Sun Xin, Wen Zhongrong, Cui Wei and others secretly recruited troops. There is also Liangshan's funding, and now there are thousands of people on hand.
They were all Koreans and well-trained, guarding the port to keep an eye on the Song people. Ma Ling led people to follow this remnant of the previous dynasty, and what he saw and heard in the past year was passed back to the base camp one after another, which also proved that this person was not lying.
More than 200 years ago, the descendants of the Bow have not forgotten revenge. Changing their faces, they operated their forces in the shadows, such as supporting landlords, doing business, and becoming officials in the court. At present, there are many people under the hands of Gong Qi, and the main force is in Xijing.
For example, the monk Miaoqing has thousands of monks and soldiers under his hands. Above the court, Zheng Zhichang and other ministers were cited as foreign aid, and a large part of the landlords and heroes distributed in various places were co-opted to deliver young and strong people and provide money and food for Gong Qi.
It's just that due to the lack of technical personnel, there is a serious shortage of weapons and equipment. I didn't want Goryeo to notice, so I kept enduring and slowly accumulating in the dark. However, the emergence of the Celestial Empire greatly shortened this process.
Now there is the "Song Dynasty" secretly
support, constantly sending weapons and equipment over. There are even a lot of strong bows, crossbows, iron armor and other sophisticated equipment. Quickly arming these outlaws, and training diligently in the shadows.
At this time, the court of the Goryeo Kingdom was busy fighting with the Jin Kingdom, only slapping the horse, trying to get more benefits. I didn't notice an undercurrent surging in the country.
"Strategist, everyone, when are we going to do it?"
Gong Qi saw that the army under his command was well-equipped and the number of people was increasing, and he couldn't hold back. Summoned Ma Ling, Miaoqing and other important personnel again for questioning.
Miaoqing, a monk in his 30s who belonged to the radical faction, was the first to state: "The Song Dynasty has something to say, and I think it's time to do it." Otherwise, we will have tens of thousands of people in private, and many people will be interrogated during this period. I can't hide it for too long. Ma Daochang, I don't know what you mean? ”
After the monk finished speaking, he squinted at Ma Ling Ma Immortal. With a hint of hostility. It is because this Taoist who appeared out of nowhere threatens his status, no, it should be Taoism that threatens his status as a Buddhist.
Gong Qi also looked at it with a longing face.
Because this Ma Xianshi is always well prepared, it is never too late to do it.
This time it didn't, Ma Ling received the information from the base camp the day before yesterday, so naturally he would not stop it. He smiled at the monk, then looked at Gong Qi and nodded in agreement: "King, since the time is ripe, then let's do something!" ”
"Hahaha...... Three days later! Gong Qi was overjoyed by a king's call, and looked up to the sky and laughed. I didn't notice that Ma Daochang was smiling unpredictably.
