Chapter 1449 Forgetting the Book(1/2)
Baekje.
This is a kingdom established by the Fuyu people. The Funan people have been destroyed for a long time. In the Liaobei Road area of the current imperial court, some Fuyu people went south and established Goguryeo and Baekje successively.
Fuyu, Goguryeo, and Baekje are all countries established by the people of Fuyu. Fuyu was the first to perish, and Goguryeo once dominated Liaodong, but it also destroyed the country and the race several years ago.
The Baekje people last time stood on the side of the Central Plains and destroyed Goguryeo together.
But this time, they themselves were about to die.
Baekjin went south to establish a country in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula and had been passed down for thirty generations of kings. They were composed of eight major clans, the Sha clan, the Yan clan, the Xie clan, the Jie clan, the Zhen clan, the Guo clan, the Mu clan, and the Bo clan. These people were all from Fuyu.
But the class ruled by Baekje is mainly the Three Koreans.
This is similar to the Tuyuhun in the past. The ruling class of Tuyuhun was the Xianbei Murong clan, but the main ethnic group of the country was the Qiang and Di.
Baekje is even different from Goguryeo, which was established by both Fuyu people. The main body under Goguryeo was not the Three Koreans. It can be said that Baekje and Goguryeo are very different.
Baekje is quite similar. The main ethnic groups of the country are all three Koreans. The only difference is that Baekje’s rulers are foreign Fuyu people.
The Central Plains merchants used to call Baekje's capital Baekje City, but in fact, Baekje's capital is called Juba City, also known as Guma City.
There were even five other capitals in Baekje, the ancientsha city of Zhongdu, the Ancheng city of Dongdu, the Jiuzhixia city of Nandu, the Daoxian city of Xiongjin city of the north.
A small kingdom, but there are six capitals.
This is very much like Yan State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it adopted the number capital system. Although the country is small, this system of several capitals divides the country into several strategic areas, focusing on operating capitals, and forming a defensive cluster.
In the past, Baekje's national strength was also strong, but Baekje was small and narrow in size. On the one hand, it was against Goguryeo and formed an alliance with Silla. Sometimes it united to fight against Goguryeo, but it often turned against each other and attacked each other.
After a while, the more you fight, the weaker you get.
Later, Baekje even paid tribute to Japan in exchange for support from Japan.
After all, Baekje has no long-term strategy. If Baekje can really join forces with Silla to deal with Goguryeo, it may be stronger.
But whenever they win some victory against Goguryeo, they will soon have internal conflicts, and then Goguryeo will come back and repeat.
In this repetition, Baekje, who had a small land and few people, naturally could not defeat Goguryeo, which had a large territory and a large population. However, their luck was that the Central Plains eventually destroyed Goguryeo.
But Baekje was short-sighted again and was actually trying to seize food from the tiger's mouth in the Central Plains again.
Baekje has fertile land, mild climate, excellent water conservancy conditions, relatively developed agriculture, and handicrafts such as silkworm raising and textiles have also developed well, especially with developed trade, which has commercial exchanges with Goguryeo, Silla, Japan, and Central Plains.
Baekje also used Chinese characters, and established a Confucian education system three hundred years ago. All the imperial governments and nobles used Chinese characters, and even used Chinese.
Baekje is now extremely influenced by the Southern Dynasties and is also very elegant.
But no matter how elegant it is, it is still empty in front of the overwhelming warships.
Some are afraid, and some are crazy.
"Kill all the thieves!"
A general shouted and ordered troops to be sent to search the Chinese in the city.
The once prosperous pier is now very deserted.
Some Chinese businessmen who married Baekje women and settled here were unwilling to leave. For some, this is their property and their family and relatives, so this is their home.
A large group of soldiers rushed over.
A Chinese shop that does silk business was knocked open.
"Mr. Jun. I am from Baekje. My wife is from Baekje. My son is from Baekje. I have long been from Baekje. I have been from Baekje. I have been from Baekje. I have paid taxes to Baekje. I am from Baekje!"
A steel knife is placed around the neck.
The businessman shouted loudly.
But the BeiJie officer just spitted at him.
"Damn the thief, spy!"
The steel knife raised, and the Chinese merchant closed his eyes in despair.
His Baekje wife blocked him and pleaded with her comrades for him.
But the Baekje Mahan kicked him away with disgust.
He raised his knife and swung it down again.
Halfway through, I couldn't fall down.
An old man grabbed his hand.
"Stay someone under the knife!"
"A new dog appeared!" The officer turned his head and looked at the man. The thin man was not outstanding at all. If he hadn't held his hand firmly at this time, making him unable to swing his knife, he wouldn't have noticed such a person at all.
The yellow-faced man narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The cold light made the Mahan feel a thorn in his eyes. He felt that he seemed to be scared for a moment.
This is simply impossible.
"Get out of the way old dog!"
At this time, the Chinese business owner also hurriedly said to the yellow-faced man, "Old Qin, get out of here, there is no business for you, please leave yourself."
The yellow-faced man turned his head to look at the fat man, "Although you just claimed that you were not a Han person, and you were a Baekje native, I looked down on you very much. But no matter what, you are my boss. You have helped me and treat me well. I, Lao Qin, are not the kind of person who will never save you."
"No matter what, you are a member of the Han family, and you cannot tolerate insults by a Baekje Mahan dog."
"This is a beautiful statement!"
A voice sounded outside, and as soon as the words fell, a Mahan officer was kicked into the shop and smashed a shelf.
"This brother said something so beautifully, I couldn't help but come over and say hello."
The person who spoke was about thirty years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Who is this brother?"
The yellow-faced Lao Qin looked at the person who had just come in unexpectedly.
"I will introduce myself first. A certain surname is Xu, and the second child in the family. He is from Langya, Shandong. He once fought a war with Goguryeo in Liaodong. He then retired and returned to his hometown. Now he is doing some small business."
When Lao Huang heard this, he felt that he was inexplicably close to this man. He had also fought against Goguryeo in Liaodong.
"Huang An, everyone calls me Lao Huang. I used to serve in the army, but now I am a security guard here and have a good time."
The two greeted each other as if no one was around.
The Mahan officer was furious.
"court death!"
He shouted angrily and tried to pull his hand back, but after pulling it a few times, he still didn't pull it.
Xu Er came over and sneered at him a few times.
"Those who offend me and strong man will be punished even if they are far away. You will dare to insult my China and die!" After saying that, he kicked the man in the leg.
A shocking scream.
Huang Er frowned, but looking at Xu Er's elegance, the anger accumulated in his heart suddenly broke out. He held a knife flower in his hand and stabbed it with one knife, but it hit the man's heart.
"Pooh!"
"Brother is accurate, but his skills are not lost."
The fat shopkeeper over there stared at all.
"Old Huang, why did you kill someone?"
Old Huang snorted, "Boss, I finally called you the boss. You are usually very careful in your calculations, but why are you confused at this critical moment? China and Baekje, who is stronger and who is weak? You don't want to keep Dahua's identity, but you want to compete for a Baekje identity? How stupid are you?"
"Forget it, that's all. You helped me, and I'm now paying you back. From now on, we won't owe each other, and we will go one side. If you still want to continue to be your Baekjean, then I advise you to leave here quickly now."
"But I'll give you another advice. Dahua's army is about to come. Don't be foolish about being a Baekjean. Quickly clean up the fine and soft, find a place to hide. When my Han army enters the city, you will be safe."
After saying that, Lao Huang no longer wanted to pay attention to this philanthropist.
"Brother Xu, don't you mind taking care of your brother's companion, right?"
Xu Er laughed, "Now the city is messy, and many Baekje dogs are biting people everywhere. I'm going to save people, and it's up to me to save one."
"That happens, plus I don't have many, so I'll work together."
"Walk with me!" Xu Er laughed.
Both of them used to serve in the army. Although they had taken off their military robe and were no longer soldiers. But they still remember what Zhang Chao said to the soldiers. They took off their military uniforms and were no longer soldiers, but their responsibilities were still in their hearts.
The two laughed together and left behind the bodies of two Baekje soldiers in the room.
The fat shopkeeper's face was as dark as the face. Seeing this, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't leave me like this. Two, I'll pay you to protect my family."
"Old Huang! When you are dying of illness, I saved you."
Old Huang turned around, "I saved your family just now, so I've paid it back."
The fat shopkeeper was sad, "I'll give money, gold, I'll pay gold."
Lao Huang just smiled and didn't look back.
"Ten gold coins, no, I'll give you two twenty gold coins."
