Chapter 212: Tang Loses Korea
[The biggest problem of the Tang Dynasty was that it was a pure loss-making business in Haidong.
Beginning in 660, they fought Baekje, Goguryeo, Baekje, Wa, and Goguryeo.
After beating Goguryeo, in order to boast of his merits, Gaozong also took his mother to Mount Tai to play around.
The result is obvious, Datang's wealth collapsed very miserably, which is also the direct reason for Gaozong's waste of money after sealing Zen, that is really poor.
In the feudal era, population was an important asset, typical like Boss Cao, I can't beat you in Hanzhong, I will directly move all the people of Hanzhong and Wuwei, and you will fight down is also an empty land, and you can't get benefits.
Baekje was similar, after Liu Renjing pacified Baekje, because the two sides had already fought a real fire, many Baekje remnants chose to flee to the Wa Kingdom or Goguryeo, refusing to accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Goguryeo was similar, most of the people were moved into the interior and became part of China, and the Goguryeo people who remained in Liaodong later united with the Ya tribes to form the Bohai State to stand on its own, but only nominally submitted to the Tang.
The final winner on the Korean Peninsula was Silla.
Due to the financial problems and frequent actions of the Tibetans, after the destruction of Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty had neither garrisons nor Tang generals in Baekje, and was nominally directly subordinate, but in fact it was almost the same as the fetters.
The king of Silla has always been a chicken thief, for example, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, there was a tripartite meeting, and the king of Silla was appointed by his courtiers to participate, so that it was convenient to breach the contract at any time.
After hearing the news of the Tibetan attack on the Tang Dynasty, the king of Silla judged that the Tang Dynasty no longer had the energy to govern the Korean Peninsula, so he also decisively sent troops to invade the land of Baekje.
After the news of Xue Rengui's defeat of Dafeichuan came, the king of Silla became even more unscrupulous, and the envoys who pulled the skin never stopped, and the pace of invasion did not stop.
In the end, it was not until 675 that Liu Renliang once again took command of the three Silla breaks, and the king of Silla sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty again to claim the status of vassals, but the Tang Dynasty also because of the aggravation of Li Zhi's own wind vertigo and the frequent actions of the anti-Tang alliance led by Tubo in the Western Regions, finally pinched his nose and admitted the fact that the Tang Dynasty was no longer able to directly govern the Korean Peninsula, and acquiesced in Silla's encroachment on Baekje's homeland.
At this point, the short period of direct rule of the Tang Dynasty on the Korean Peninsula also came to an end, and the Korean Peninsula returned to the vassal status of the Tang Dynasty. 】
Hou Junji had already made up his mind to show his ability, so he hurriedly stood up and expressed his attitude impassionedly:
"This Baekje is just being coaxed by Goguryeo, and this Silla is the real wolf ambition!"
Hou Junji's statement drew nods of approval from others.
Baekje's real swords and guns standing up against the Tang Dynasty will not cause them to be disgusted, and a series of later moths were all caused by Su Dingfang's plunder.
And if the reason for this plundering is carefully calculated, it will be calculated to the emperor's head, it is difficult to say, and it is already part of the war.
But this Silla, not to mention the natives, can be called a former and a backward compliment to the Tang Dynasty, and is a commodity like the Wa Kingdom.
When he was besieged by Goguryeo and Baekje, he called Datang Daddy, and when he found out that Datang was in trouble, he wanted to be Datang's Daddy in turn.
I had to be smoked again to be honest, but because the timing was too accurate, I couldn't let it spit out what I had already swallowed.
Therefore, looking at this Silla at this time, all the generals have included it in the list of must be destroyed in the true sense.
And not to mention that Prime Minister Du Ruhui has already spoken, if you want to calm Haidong, Silla is the throat of the throat, and it must be tightly controlled in your hands!
Not to mention that His Majesty's military strategy is very human, and it is very rare to dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops, it is difficult to talk about the loss of labor and money, and later generations have praised it.
And of course the most important thing, this Silla later......
"Not to mention that this Silla is the ancestor of the stick, and later he used Haiyu to tease His Majesty, so he covered his ears and stole the bell to deceive himself, he should get rid of his country's name and destroy his country's history!"
Hou Junji was impassioned.
Li Shimin remembered himself in the image of the one-eyed dragon, and his expression was subtle.
Hou Junji didn't say that he had almost forgotten that image.
Shaking his head to throw this out of his mind for the time being, Li Shimin was noncommittal:
"The foundation of Haidong's strategy lies in the strong ship."
"If the sea master is successful, then Haidong will be fine, and if the sea master does not move, there will be trouble."
"Now we should be the first to open the Western Regions, and then we will map the east of the sea."
Li Shimin is very clear in his heart, after Tuyuhun is not a trouble, he will have to control the Western Regions immediately!
The Western Regions' ability to cope with the control of the Northland is only secondary, and more importantly, this Gaochang Kingdom collects all my money!
If this Silk Road is going to be scraped for money in Central Asia, this Gao Changguo collects money at the gate of the Tang Dynasty, and grinning at the Tang Dynasty, isn't it looking for a draw?
Liu Renliang nodded slowly, feeling the weight on his shoulders.
Su Dingfang had been silent for a long time, looking ashamed.
Since being activated by His Majesty, and praised by later generations as the God of War, Su Dingfang has also been proud, not to mention that his apprentice Pei Xingjian is also famous.
When he was linked to last year, when he Su Dingfang stepped on the tooth tent of the Jieli Khan, he was a little complacent for a while:
Our Lao Su can also be called wise and brave, right?
As a result, I did not expect the beginning of the entire chaos on the Korean Peninsula to be so simple: the army was not strictly governed.
Therefore, in Su Dingfang's opinion, this matter was very simple, he plundered his troops, and finally caused the Tang Dynasty to fail to control the peninsula.
Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Li Shichang patted Su Dingfang's shoulder again to show comfort:
The last two times have been your Su Dingfang's name everywhere.
What about Li Shiyun? is also the god of war, but as a result, he can only see the name in the corners and corners, who to reason with?
However, Li Shiyun felt that Haishi really had to fight for it again.
Comparatively speaking, the Western Regions in the west are far away, and every time there is a war, it takes more than half a year to come and go.
This naval division does seem to have a promising future at present, and only needs a strong fleet, which can be reached from the north to the southeast of Liaodong to Jiaozhi.
He liked the word that came to life: maritime supremacy.
However, because of this, Li Shiyun suddenly remembered the Five Thunder Views that he and General Li Jing had engaged in together.
Now that the gunpowder is already in sight, do you have to find a way to urge the supervisor to study the gunpowder?
Judging from later generations, although this thing is incomparable in siege, it seems that the trebuchet is superior in terms of cost and convenience.
But if it were at sea, the cannon would be many times stronger than a trebuchet.
[After the Battle of Baijiangkou, the situation on the Korean Peninsula can be called turbulent, but the Japanese country has always been very quiet, because it is really scared.
After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, the two sides re-established diplomatic relations again, and this time the Wa State learned from the pain:
The reason why I am so vulnerable must be that I have learned too little from Datang!
At this point, the Wa Kingdom once again began a vigorous movement to learn the Tang Dynasty:
The political system, the construction of palaces, the layout of the city, calligraphy and poetry, and the creation of words are all on par with the Tang Dynasty.
The Wa Kingdom wanted to become strong quickly by tricks, but the Central Plains Dynasty almost came through the Malthusian trap from generation to generation.
Of course, the effectiveness of the system cannot be learned by relying on hard concaves. 】
