Chapter 526: Good Neighbors (Part 1)
Shortly after the Battle of Daling River, the court heard that the generals in the north of Goryeo were leading the Goryeo army to confront Sun Quanzhao on the Yalu River.
After all, it is a small country, and it is not easy to survive in the cracks. Moreover, they did not have any danger to the Song Dynasty. Moreover, after fighting for so long and so many soldiers died, Zhao Heng did not want to continue to fight. Moreover, Goryeo was always a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. Even if it was defeated by the Liao Kingdom, he still secretly communicated with the Song Dynasty. He sent envoy Chenggong and sent some young students to study abroad. Some even served as officials of the Song Dynasty. For example, Kang Jian, a famous official of the Song Dynasty, was a student of Goryeo. So he sent Cao Yi to negotiate the border matters in Goryeo, so he asked the King of Goryeo to issue a quick order, and the two countries stopped their troops. At the same time, he secretly ordered Cao Yi to give up the mountainous areas of Helandian east of Lumaoduo tribe in Changbai Mountain and east of the tributary of Helan River (referring to the Tumen River, at this time, the Tumen River tributaries of Longjing and Long were regarded as mainstream).
There is no big problem with this division. After all, the best flat area on the west side was given to the Goryeo people. Even if the Song Dynasty did not allow it, it could not be effectively managed. The mountains were large and lush, and the people were lonely overseas, and the people were fierce.
However, with the Yalu River and Tujiang River as the boundary, it is connected into a whole, and there are obvious landmarks that can distinguish their respective territory to avoid unnecessary disputes.
Song Jiu did not agree and said four words, making a big flaw.
The Goryeo people inherited the heritage of Silla and Baekje. However, in the southern part of Koryeo Kaijing, even if the Tang Dynasty declined, Pyongyang City was still controlled by the Tang Dynasty. However, the court could not investigate who could control the mountainous areas east of the Tumen River, but it must indicate on the map that this is the boundary of the Song Dynasty, so that if a dispute arises in the future, there will be great justice and righteousness.
This was a solution, so Zhao Heng agreed.
Then Cao quickly rode his horse to Goryeo. This person may not have a good reputation in another time and space, but he was a first-class expert in negotiations. He was a famous iron rooster in the Song Dynasty.
He went to Liao Kingdom several times and met the two emperors of Liao Kingdom without fear.
Cao Yong went to Goryeo, Zhao Heng appeased the people, settled in Zhongjing, then took them down, went to Shangjing, and returned to Lushan. It was already mid-September.
He came back calmly, but brought a very bad news.
...
If Xiao Yanyan conquered Kaifeng of the Song Dynasty at this time, how much wealth could she get from the inner treasury and the national treasury?
It will disappoint her very much, and the money, grain and silk will not exceed 20 million yuan. Because the money and silk in the two warehouses are used up, but how much wealth can she get from Kaifeng? It is hard to say, it will be calculated in billions, and even if all the soldiers' plunder and confiscation will be doubled.
There is nothing else, there are too many rich people in the capital.
The same is true for the Song Dynasty to capture the three capitals of Liao. Nanjing and Xijing were not left behind because the powerful and powerful people of Liao were evacuated in time. However, during the battle of Daling River, Cao Wei surrounded him from the rear, and most of the powerful people were captured one by one without having time to escape.
But even Song Jiu dared not let go of plunder. Suppressing a group of powerful people and winning over a group of powerful people is the kingly way.
Therefore, the rebellious elites, as well as the royal and post-clans since the founding of the Liao Kingdom, as well as other powerful ministers, and generals who were always hostile to the Song Dynasty. Some were executed, some were brought to Kaifeng. Until now, the Liao Kingdom has not had much wealth left in the treasury, and the wealth obtained comes from the hands of these powerful people.
Moreover, in order to achieve long-term governance in the future, we have repeatedly issued orders to prohibit the people from being dissatisfied. Of course, there is one primary premise, that is, generous rewards.
After this battle, the court spent more than 80 million yuan in rewards or other wealth just for the rewards. Yelu Longxu, Hebei, surrendered and rewarded for the first time, entered Youzhou and changed its name to Beijing and rewarded for the second time, entered Zhongjing and rewarded for the third time, entered Shangjing and rewarded for the fourth time, and served in Jizhen and rewarded for the fifth time.
The reason is simple. There is a ring to punish Gao Lianghe and not reward the soldiers with resentment. Continuous rewards can stimulate morale and conquer the soldiers without robbing and disturbing the people. When Zhao Heng left Lushan, even a small soldier who was carrying food and grass could receive dozens of rewards. As for at least one family of the family who sacrificed the martyrs could receive more than 200 pensions.
Nearly 30 million of the money comes from the captured Liao Kingdom’s wealth.
In fact, if you are more determined, you can seize more wealth.
However, Song Jiu didn't dare to do so, for fear of arousing civil unrest.
Moreover, although the treasury is a little more difficult at the moment, it can be overcome. It is necessary to govern the Liao Kingdom, rather than to loot.
This method of suppressing and winning over a group of people has caused many Liao tyrants to turn against each other, but it also has some bad disadvantages, that is, some people resist stubbornly, and some powerful people flee.
To this day, there are still several cities that have not been taken down.
But it's normal.
For example, when the Yuan and Meng attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, how many years did the Southern Song Dynasty hold? Even if the Jin people succeeded in invading, the Song Dynasty continued to unify the Central Plains, and the Yuan and Meng might not be able to destroy the Song Dynasty.
For example, when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, Wu Sangui was the culprit of the crime, but the other sinner was Li Zicheng. The rebel army swept across the entire Jiangbei, and even the Jianghuai region. Li Zicheng was cruel and suspicious, and liked to kill and cut off his feet and cut off his heart. It was not until Niu Jinxing surrendered to him that he proposed the slogan of welcoming the King of Break without paying food, bewitching people's hearts and getting more people to come to the people. But don't forget, can that country still exist if it does not allow the people to pay taxes? See if what Li Mi did to conquer Luoyang in Wagang Village, and is it successful in the end?
Therefore, the entire Central Plains city defense turned Li Zicheng and the rebel army into ashes. The Qing Dynasty easily entered the pass and occupied the Central Plains easily. However, when it arrived in Jiangnan, it was still subjected to a stubborn counterattack by the Han people, such as Shi Kefa in Yangzhou...
These resistances are inevitable. After all, Xiao Yanyan and Han Delang were quite popular in the great rule of the Liao Kingdom, which was completely different from the destruction of the Liao Kingdom in history. That's it. Yelu Dashi took away a part and successfully established the Western Liao Kingdom in the Western Regions.
It has nothing to do with the continued resistance of some powerful soldiers of the Liao Kingdom.
But these fleeing powerful men.
Some fled to the desert, but most tribes killed them and offered them to the Song Dynasty for rewards. Only some tribes took them in, and some fled to the Wei people in the deepest part of the Northeast, or fled to Goryeo...
Cao used to Goryeo.
The Goryeo King sent powerful minister Kim Chi-yang to negotiate in person.
One is talking about the boundaries. The other is talking about these fleeing powerful men. It would be fine if they fled. They also brought many people with them. Sun Quanzhao had very few troops. The border line was very long, and his troops were restrained by Kang Zhao and could not be intercepted. Therefore, Cao used to warn Goryeo not to take in the fleeing powerful men and people.
Regarding the second article, the Goryeo people are timid.
However, the Koreans did not agree with the first one, and even asked them to verify two ancient place names, Gama Mountain and Dandan Daling.
According to later generations, Gaima Mountain is the Langlin Mountain Range on the Gaima Plateau, and Daling alone is the watershed on the east side of Xuantu and Lintun County in the four Han dynasties. Later, Jianshan Mountain and Ahu Feiling in Korea extended to the Han River on the south side of Gaima Mountain.
However, ancient research was very vague. Many people thought they were the nickname of the Changbai Mountains. In fact, this mountain system extending to the Han River also belongs to the Changbai Mountains.
Moreover, this time, Goryeo has brought out various research certificates of the old Goguryo.
However, Cao Yu was prepared for Goguryeo and first argued that the filthy tribes were established in the area from Changchunzhou to Luyang Prefecture. There was another filthy tribe at the foot of the mountain on the west side of Changbai Mountain, which was called Fuyu. Then it was converted to Goguryeo. After Goguryeo grew, it was divided into five tribes, Juenu tribe, Shunnu tribe, Guannu tribe, and Guilou tribe, and then some small countries were established. Such as the Feiliu Kingdom, Huanglong Kingdom, the Qingren Kingdom, and the Gaima Kingdom, all of which can be found in Chinese history books.
The Kingdom of Gama is a small country that is active on the Gama Plateau. Later, the Kingdom of Gama was destroyed by Goguryeo. The Great Mountain of Gama gradually disappeared from the place name.
Therefore, whether from the Gama Country or Goguryeo to study, it has nothing to do with Goryeo. Are you a species of Silla and Baekje? What is it to do with Goguryeo?
For these tests, I don’t know how many brain cells of the Song Dynasty civil servants were exhausted, but now it has finally become the basis for Cao’s negotiations.
However, there was nowhere to find some messy research in Goryeo, and even myths, legends, notes and unofficial history were brought out, which made Cao Yi angry.
After the negotiations were going on for many days, Cao Yong suddenly realized why Song Jiuyi wanted to set the so-called Gaima Mountain to the border first. The Daling alone could not be taken, and that extended to the Han River. Once it was about to go down, everything in Goryeo was in half, and Goryeo would not agree.
But if the Gaima Mountains and Gaima Plateau were occupied, the Song Dynasty could take precociousness, and the Goryeo would become honest.
Of course, the Koreans are not fools. In fact, the reason for the horse-high is the terrain is still due to the filthy tribes, and the rest are integrated into the various ethnic groups in the Northeast.
Whether it was the Song Dynasty or Goryeo that received it, it could not be effectively managed and ruled, but the reason why the Goryeo people fought was the terrain that they wanted.
It can be said that it and the Yalu River have become an important gateway to Goryeo.
At this time, Cao Yong received some news.
This negotiation was actually sent by Song Jiu, so he was well prepared. Cao Yong not only brought some followers, but also some shrewd and capable scouts to sneak into Goryeo and inquire about the news.
It turned out that the Bohai Kingdom set up a northeast of Changbai Mountain (the coastal areas ceded to Russia and the eastern part of Jilin) and set up many prefectures in the northeast, such as Anyuan Prefecture, Anyuan Prefecture, Theorem Prefecture, and the Longyuan Prefecture in the eastern part of Changbai Mountain, and the Nanhai Prefecture in the Gaima Plateau. Nominally, these areas, including the entire Bohai Kingdom, belonged to the throne of the Pinglu Jiedu in Yingzhou of the Tang Dynasty. Later, the Liao Kingdom rose and captured the Changling Prefecture (Huadian) of the Bohai Kingdom. The Bohai Kingdom was destroyed, but because the coastal area was vast and sparsely populated, the Liao Kingdom was only a throne and did not send troops to attack.
Most of these old Bohai prefectures are still preserved, including the Shubin Prefecture (the city is Shuangchengzi above Vladivostok), and its jurisdiction includes the scattered filthy tribes.
After the Liao Kingdom became stronger, all the tribes of the Imperial Kingdom were convinced by the Liao Kingdom, so their area belonged to the Liao Kingdom (the scope was south of Xingkai Lake, including Vladivostok Yanji, Holandian, and Gama Plateau).
Many powerful people in the Liao Kingdom fled, fled northwest to the desert, north to Shiwei, and Liaodong to Goryeo.
The powerful and elites who fled to Goryeo had some contact with the chiefs of various tribes, so with the support of the Goryeo people, they went to the Gaima Plateau to instigate the tribes and asked them to turn against Goryeo.
Cao used the negotiations for a while, and some tribes had expressed their sincerity to the Goryeo people. So the Goryeo people shamelessly said, "If our country did not restrain itself, how could your country destroy the Liao Kingdom?"
Moreover, the filthy man took the initiative to come and invested, not because our country wanted to forcibly occupy these places.
Is your country going to use force against the filthy people for these mountainous areas?
