One thousand four hundred and twenty-four Goryeo mutiny

To be honest, this coup in Goryeo is really a suicide. He deserves it and does not need to have any mercy.

The consequence of Wang Xun being deposed was that he kept making trouble. He was just a self-destructive crime.

I didn’t learn the advantages of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, but I learned the disadvantages of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty. I couldn’t learn them all. I also carried forward them and developed them to the extreme for worshipping literature and suppressing martial arts.

The political customs of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty suppressing military generals and advocating civil servants had brought them extremely painful consequences. Now that the country has been destroyed, the royal family has basically been arranged clearly.

Building the frontier, building the frontier, building the mainland transportation, and building the mainland transportation, the remaining Zhao Gou still kneels in front of Yue Fei's statue every day, becoming a beautiful scenery in the eyes of the majority of Yue Fei's ancestral hall tourists.

As a result, Goryeo seemed to have not seen it. It continued their old path of advocating culture and suppressing martial arts, and even made this old path more and more powerful.

When Wang Xu became king, this situation reached its peak.

Civil officials hold various powers and political resources, can lead military positions, control the army, discuss state affairs, decide state affairs, enjoy a luxurious life, have a high status, and have everything.

The military officers have nothing, just like senior thugs of the Goryeo royal family and civil servants, and they are also particularly lacking in dignity, infinitely close to the workers under the command of capitalists.

The status of the Goryeo military generals was even worse than that of the Northern and Southern Song generals. From the king to the eunuch who was favored by the king, they could beat, scold, or even slap a high-level military officer at will.

Like the Zhao official family in the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, Wang Xun treated civil officials, especially literary servants and eunuchs, and gave them the best treatment, but rarely cared about the feelings of military officials.

After ascending the throne, he liked to travel around and create articles. He and his favored civil servants and eunuchs drank and wrote poems all night. He was so happy that the guards had no way to rest, and even couldn't get food. He was hungry and had to stay up late to work overtime.

Overtime work without paying overtime will cause workers to feel anything without saying anything.

Wang Xun was praised by the civil servants who were favored as the "Master of Peace and Good Writings". He tried his best to praise him, making him utterly the number one person in heaven and earth. He was floating himself and did not notice that the huge danger was approaching him at all.

It is said that in November, Wang Xun and his favorite ministers left the capital of Goryeo and went to the Samantabhadra Academy to enjoy the snow. They roasted fire, ate meat, drank wine, recited poems, danced girls and musicians. That day was a fairy-like day.

But just outside their big house, the troops and generals who were accompanying the guards were shaking in the cold wind.

They were not allowed to enter the big house to cook the fire, and they had to receive all kinds of unreasonable requests and orders from the men in the house at any time. They tried half of their lives to fulfill their orders, but were taken for granted and did not even have any rewards. So everyone was indignant and angry.

It would be fine if they were really just workers, but the fatal thing was that they held steel knives in their hands, representing the strongest force of human beings.

What does it mean to worker add a steel knife?

The accompanying general Li Shaoying was the most senior of the military generals in Goryeo. He was called into the big room by Wang Xu to perform a five-soldier fight.

It is said that this is a kind of favor to military generals.

Perhaps Wang Xun also found that he had done a little too much, so he wanted to comfort the generals and give them a chance to perform. If he performed well, he would be rewarded.

However, Li Shaoying was old and weak, and was no match for the young general. He failed in the performance and lost face.

Wang Xun's favorite minister, Han Lai stepped forward and slapped Li Shaoying in the face. Li Shaoying fell to the stairs. Wang Xun and the ministers clapped and laughed. The other two favorite ministers, Li Fuji, the Censorate, and the right deputy Cheng Xuanlin Zongzhi, also took the opportunity to insult Li Shaoying.

What was originally said was to soothe the generals, but in the end it turned out to be the result of insulting the generals for fun.

Seeing the elderly and weak Li Shaoying die in front of everyone, the sadness and anger in the hearts of the generals were no longer increased.

You can't bear it anymore, there is no need to endure it anymore.

So Li Yifang and Li Gao and other young officers sent representatives to find Zheng Zhongfu, the most senior officer besides Li Shaoying, to persuade him to join everyone's mutiny, fight for the generals, and get rid of the current situation where people are neither human nor ghost.

As a military general, Zheng Zhongfu was once bullied by civil servants and couldn't even lift his head, especially with the father of Wang Yong's favorite minister Jin Dun-chung. At this moment, he was encouraged by the young and powerful faction, and he decided to join them.

The stable and young factions in the army decided to launch a mutiny together, so this mutiny was destined to happen.

On the night when Wang Xun insulted Li Shaoying for fun, the mutiny of the generals started at the end of the grand and extravagant banquet.

The eunuchs around Wang Xu were almost slaughtered. The civil servants who were still mocking the generals in the morning and afternoon became the dead souls of the generals in the sword.

The entire Samantabhadra Academy was killed and blood flowed into a river and corpses piled up like mountains. Wang Xu was frightened and shivered.

The kitten in the past suddenly turned into a man-eating tiger. Wang Xu felt extremely uncomfortable. He gave the sword to the military ministers, hoping that they would calm down, but it was meaningless.

On the second day after the mutiny was launched, Zheng Zhongfu met Wang Xun. Wang Xun held his hand and hoped that he could persuade the generals to stop the massacre and return to calm, but Zheng Zhongfu himself had not calmed down yet.

They poured many years of resentment on civil servants and eunuchs, killed many people, and left some living slaughter, tortured them to death in every way, in order to vent their dissatisfaction.

Wang Xun's consolation was meaningless. The generals took him back to Kaicheng, the capital, and then launched a suppression of all forces in Kaicheng who were not satisfied with their autocratic power. They killed almost the power of civil servants and eunuchs, and finally stabilized the situation.

Facts have proved that the pen in the hands of the civil servants is unstable.

Originally, this matter was Goryeo's own business and had nothing to do with Su Yonglin.

But the problem now is that the Ming Dynasty is the sect leader of Goryeo. Such disrespect of Goryeo's sect leader is a serious violation of the interests of the Ming Dynasty and a concrete manifestation of disrespect of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty must respond. From the standpoint of the Goryeo court, it is absolutely impossible to allow such mutiny to occur.

But to be fair, Su Yonglin even had a little praise for this matter.

"The military generals of Goryeo are somewhat backbone than those of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty. They know that they can't bear it anymore and need to endure it anymore. The military generals of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty were suppressed very miserably, and they have no dignity in front of civil officials. It is better to have a good pen than fighting blood and fire. If it were me, I would have rebelled long ago."

Su Yonglin sneered for a while and said, "That's the case, but we can't ignore the matter of Goryeo at present. It's a big deal. The Ming Dynasty is also the sect leader of Goryeo. This relationship lasted for so long and their king was overthrown. We can't react at all."

Tian Guizi agreed.

"Although this is also a dog-biting dog within the ruling class of the superiors, it doesn't matter to us, but in name, the Ming Dynasty, as the sect leader, must do something, otherwise the neighboring countries will think that the Ming Dynasty is weak and powerless."

Kong Maojie also agreed.

"In terms of nature, this coup is actually an internal contradiction of the ruling class, a concentrated manifestation of internal conflicts caused by the uneven distribution of interests within the ruling class. It has little to do with the entire Goryeo society, but I am very worried that this coup will cause Goryeo to fall into a long-term war."
