.    , Qiming 1158

The initial formation of the small Chinese thoughts in ancient East Asian countries was due to a sense of identity with Chinese culture.

And they felt that after they accepted Chinese culture, they became more noble, which was different from the surrounding barbarian tribes, so they felt pride.

However, this sense of pride becomes worse in the later period, and there is a tendency to deviate from cultural identity and political identity, that is, identifying with Chinese culture but not with Chinese regional regimes, and even confronting the Chinese dynasty.

This situation was particularly prominent during the Mongolian Yuan and Qing dynasties.

The Han regime was destroyed and the Han people were ruled by foreign races, so they are no longer the heirs of Chinese culture. The Little China is the real China.

That's what they think.

Therefore, the three East Asian countries, including North Korea, Japan and Vietnam, have all had the idea that they think they are the orthodox inheritors of Chinese culture, while the Chinese people and the Chinese regime living on Chinese land are not the heirs of Chinese culture].

At present, although Goryeo is a vassal state of the Jin Kingdom, he has never been convinced by the Jin Kingdom and even secretly despises the Jin people. There are many frictions and conflicts with the Jin Kingdom.

But when the Restoration Army rose up and destroyed the Jin Kingdom and replaced it, this situation changed.

The Restoration Army was an army dominated by the Han people, and the leader Su Yonglin was also a descendant of the Han family with a strong roots. He would definitely establish a brand new regime. Compared with the Jin Dynasty, this regime is of course more worthy of the brilliant Chinese culture.

Therefore, the fishy Liaodong barbarian regime was declared destroyed, and the Greater China regime once again appeared on China's territory, and was about to push Chinese culture to a new peak.

At this critical moment, how could Goryeo, as a small China, live behind others and not keep up with the footsteps of Greater China?

So after urgent consultations, the Goryeo ruler and ministers passed this resolution and took the initiative to contact the Restoration Army to avoid various misunderstandings caused by poor exchanges between the two sides.

After all, if this trend continues, the Restoration Army will soon border the Goryeo Dynasty.

In mid-to-early February, the Restoration Army conquered the Jin Guopo Speedway, which triggered a considerable number of defeated Jin Guoguo soldiers and Jurchens to seek political asylum from Goryeo.

Considering that the Restoration Army was approaching, if they accepted these Jurchens in front of them, it would probably cause the Restoration Army to be unhappy, so they rejected the Jurchens' request.

In panic, the remaining defeated generals decided to attack Guancheng of the Goryeo Great Wall, which caught the Goryeo army guarding the Great Wall off guard and almost made a gap by these remaining defeated generals.

Fortunately, Wei Ke, the general of the Restoration Army, led his army to arrive in time, and handled the defeated generals in a few seconds, and then asked the Goryeo people about the specific story.

The Goryeo people plucked up the courage to tell Wei Kexian about the matter, and then asked about Wei Kexian's identity and position. Wei Kexian did not make things difficult for the Goryeo army, and reported his name and military position and led his troops away.

Before leaving, he looked at the Great Wall built by the Goryeo people and felt it was quite interesting.

After Wei Kexian led his troops to wipe out the remnants of the Jin army in front of the Goryeo people, Goryeo clearly realized that the martial ethics of the Restoration Army were overwhelming. In order not to let this martial ethics become the cause of burning themselves, they immediately accelerated the visit to Su Yonglin.

So today comes.

After reading the letter from King Wang Xu of Goryeo, Su Yonglin asked Yin Linzhan curiously about this little China. Yin Linzhan told Su Yonglin about what happened decades ago and lamented a wave of regret for the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Su Yonglin accepted the letter of the country and smiled.

"So, you have a good relationship with Song State? Then why come to me instead of Song State? The Zhao official family of Song State is still in Lin'an."

Yin Linzhan felt something was wrong.

Su Yonglin's tone is problematic.

Why does it sound a bit sarcastic?

Thinking of the situation after the Restoration Army dominated the Central Plains and the current situation of the Song Dynasty separating Jiangnan, Yin Linzhan suddenly had a bold guess.

The land of China has always had a unified tradition. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, the sky has no two suns, and the earth has no two masters, so...

So he hurriedly made up for it.

"A virtuous people are in power. The general rises up in the army, expels the captives with great martial arts, restores China, and does what the predecessors cannot do. If the general is not the lord of China, who can do it? Goryeo is willing to guard the frontiers for the general and always be a small China."

Su Yonglin curled the corners of his mouth, feeling that Yin Linzhan was still a little capable. He heard his sarcastic words and made timely remedies, and did not make him feel unhappy.

So he didn't make things difficult for Yin Linzhan.

"Well, expelling the barbarians and restoring China, this is the reason why I rebelled against Jin. Now that the great cause of anti-Jin is about to be completed, the restoration of China is no longer a vain. If you think about it carefully, you still feel that you are in a dream and incredible... I am a commoner in Jianghuai, so what is the best thing for me in the world?"

Yin Linzhan heard the implication of Su Yonglin's words, but he didn't believe in nonsense like Jianghuai common people. This must be Su Yonglin's pretending.

But he pretends to behave. He is the biggest in Zhongyuan, so he can pretend as he wants.

So he immediately flattered Su Yonglin and praised him for his wise and powerful spirit, and as the lord of Greater China.

Su Yonglin laughed and rewarded Yin Linzhan.

This diplomatic contact was not formal, nor was there any formal reward. Su Yonglin had not yet been elected as emperor and had no title. His current identity is still the deputy commander of the Restoration Army and the head of the General Affairs Bureau. He is in charge of the military and political power of the Central Plains with these two titles.

Therefore, in terms of identity, Su Yonglin was still a rebel and did not have the title of honoring Goryeo.

However, Goryeo didn't care. They obviously thought that as long as Su Yonglin was willing to keep in touch with Goryeo and remembered Goryeo's flattery and respect for him, that would be enough.

Everything else will be fine after Su Yonglin officially becomes emperor.

Yin Linzhan asked Su Yonglin about some arrangements for the future. Su Yonglin did not give a positive answer, but just told Yin Linzhan that he would send troops to Guanzhong, completely hammer the Jin Kingdom to death, and completely replace the Jin Kingdom's overlord position in the Central Plains.

Yin Linzhan understood that this was Su Yonglin's answer.

And he had a premonition that Greater China was about to usher in a real rise, and an emperor was about to push Greater China to the next peak, and Goryeo must take the ride, otherwise, it will be forever left in the dust of history.

So no matter what, Goryeo will never give in to the title of Little China!

It is the end of April, and the spring plowing mission in the occupied areas of the Restoration Army has been basically completed.

During the spring plowing season, Su Yonglin asked the army to prepare for combat, and at the same time, soldiers without combat missions went to the fields to help farmers plow the land and grow grain, and prepared to make the army helping farmers produce a routine and rule, further deepening the relationship between the army and the people.

The Restoration Army came from the peasants, and naturally they must protect the interests of the peasants and must not forget their roots.

The best way to promote mutual trust between farmers and the army is to take time to help farmers near their resident work during the busy farming season.

The garrison troops from Yanyun, Hedong, Henan, Shandong, Liaodong and other places went to the villages that lacked the most labor force to help participate in spring plowing. Hundreds of thousands of strong labor force joined the local villages that lacked labor force to relieve the troubles.

Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui also set an example and went to villages near Zhongdu to help plow and sow seeds during the busy farming season.

Regardless of whether it is a show or not, at least if this example is set, then officials of the Resurrection Army and Revival membership will be touched.

In fact, emperors of all dynasties have done this.

Before the spring plowing of all dynasties, the emperor would lead his ministers to worship the heaven and earth, pray to heaven for good weather, peace and prosperity, and a bumper harvest of food. Then he would work pretend to be a good person to do so for a while, indicating the emperor's importance to agricultural production.

So Su Yonglin's approach is actually similar to this behavior in the eyes of others. Although Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui really went to the fields to help farm, it looked no different from the old bureaucrats and gentry.

But what made these people feel a little dissatisfied and worried was that Su Yonglin refused to participate in the previous practice of sacrificing heaven and earth before the beginning of spring plowing.

Not only did he not participate, he did not allow the official holding.

He asked officials from all over the country to devote themselves to the production of spring plowing and not to hold any activities to sacrifice to heaven and earth in the official name.
