Seven hundred and eighty-eighth luck (1)
When the palace guards rushed into the palace with an unknown team of horses and robbed people, killing people and setting fires, Gao Jianwu was still very shocked, so that the guards called him "King" more than ten times in a row, and then he realized and asked in a hurry: "What did you say just now? Say it again?"
The guards shouted in panic: "King, an army has entered the palace. The palace gates have been broken. We have not prepared at all and cannot stop them. They are coming to the king now. The general is resisting. I hope the king can leave here as soon as possible to take refuge. King, go quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late! It will be too late!"
Gao Jianwu was stunned and motionless. He had not yet linked the noise that had just been chaotic with the city and the attack of his palace. He had no way to think. The guards urged him again and again, but he had no movement at all. After a while, when he could hear the sound of killing, Gao Jianwu shouted angrily: "What kind of army is that? What army is it?! Is it a rebel? Do you want to rebel while my army attacks the Tang Dynasty?! Who has such courage! He dares to rebel! I won't leave! I won't leave! Let them come over! I want to see how many courage they have to do to me!"
The guard suddenly cried with a bitter face and said, "Your Majesty, let's go quickly, this is not a rebel here at all! The general said that those people spoke Chinese language, they were all Han people! They were Han people! The Tang army is here! It is Tang army! The Tang army! It is not a rebel! The king Majesty, let's go quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Gao Jianwu widened his eyes and before he could react, another soldier with disheveled clothes rushed in outside the palace. As soon as he rushed in, he shouted: "Your Majesty, that group of Tang troops have broken through our defense line and are coming soon! You, go quickly! You will be too late if you don't leave! You will be too late! You will be too late! You, go quickly!"
Gao Jianwu was still standing stupidly. He could not imagine why the Tang army, who was under attack, could actually attack his capital? Could it be that the army of attacking Tang was defeated? Did the previous good news be fake? Quan Gai Suwen was defeated all the time, and he was almost defeated by the Tang army and sent him good news? As a result, the Tang army broke into the palace like this? No one told him that everyone was kept in the dark? Is this possible?
No, no! This is unscientific! This is unscientific!
The only explanation is that there was a Tang army attacking the capital. This was a surprise attack! It was a surprise attack!
Gao Jianwu was the king of Goguryeo after all. How could a guy who was too mentally retarded inherit the throne? Every emperor in Chinese history is basically not a simple character, except for the real idiot Emperor Hui of Jin, who is more vicious than the other. One is more scheming than the other. The emperor's mind is not just a joke, it is a psychological textbook for the real emperor, and only the emperor can use it. Therefore, the emperor can control the civil and military ministers in the court.
Let the court officials split, let several factions oppose each other, support this one today, fight that one tomorrow, fight this one tomorrow, deal with which one is stronger, and support which one is weaker. In short, the balance and opposition of the court are the highest level of the emperor's mind, and it is also the fundamental reason why countless talents and heroes have been played with by a seemingly mediocre emperor for thousands of years.
Is Gao Jianwu stupid? Stupid? Stupid?
The answer is undoubtedly no. How could a fool lead Goguryeo and Silla Baekje and the Tang Dynasty across the sea stand together? Gao Jianwu is definitely not a fool. On the contrary, he still has certain talents. His ability to govern the country is definitely not low, but his personality is not very strong and gentle. He also adopts conservative and gentle methods in national policies, which will make the people's livelihood in the country good, but the phenomenon of ** and power alliance are very serious.
If an emperor like His Majesty Li Er heard that there was a phenomenon in the country, he would definitely be furious and then send his minions to those places to fight corruption. This is secondarily. If there are signs similar to those of some powerful ministers, it would be even more amazing. He would immediately be destroyed in the bud with a storm-like blow. He is indeed good at accepting advice, but at the same time, he also pays great attention to power.
Gao Jianwu's inferiority is that his personality is not strong enough, so when he encounters the more powerful and ambitious Quan Gai Suwen, he will be completely defeated, lost his throne, and lost his life. At that time, this sign has been revealed. After being king for so many years, he can't even refute the request of a thirty-year-old minister to send troops. He can only comfort himself and then obey. Although he feels it is necessary to curb Quan Gai Suwen's power, it seems that it is too late.
He has lost such an opportunity.
Xue Rengui led the front stormtroopers to rush and fight desperately, no matter what else, just rush, kill, and set fire to the seemingly prosperous palace. Not only the palace was burning, but the entire Goguryeo king was burning, inside, Suning was burning, and vowing to burn all this city for him, don't leave any of the things about Goguryeo. Culture, writing, civilization, and history will be completely over at this moment!
Suning swept away every government agency that can be seen outside the royal city. According to the guidance of many blood droplets lurking in the local area, he found one powerful family after another. Without saying a word, he set fire to it, and no one of the men, women, young and old would be left to kill them! To completely destroy the ruling class of Goguryeo and completely lose the ruling foundation that must be retained as a country. In this way, after Suning left, the Goguryeo government collapsed. If it was to rebuild the government, Suning believed that it would be unlikely.
When he found an official and killed one, he set fire to a powerful family. The Tang cavalry team, which had been broken into pieces, completely wiped out almost all government departments as quickly as possible. Then, Suning led his personal guards to rush into the Goguryeo Palace. According to his preparations, he planned to completely destroy the Goguryeo civil ministry. There was a Goguryeo household registration list and Goguryeo's demographic statistics. Suning did not plan to know, and it was useless to know. The Tang Dynasty would be completely rebuilt.
But for Goguryeo, after retreating, those who are struggling to rebuild the government, the most important thing is the household registration list and population statistics, which is the only basis for taxation. As a tax system necessary to maintain the existence of the country, if the tax collapses, the country will not be able to operate. This is why after Liu Bang entered Xianyang, Xiao He quickly protected the Former Qin Dynasty's institutions similar to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is the basic representative of a country.
After destroying these things, Goguryeo completely lost the opportunity to restore effective rule in the short term, and they would end up like Tubo, with many powerful people of all sizes and fighting for hegemony. Even if Goguryeo had a new king, it would not be possible to restore rule before the Tang Dynasty retaliated for revenge!
The National Government suffered a great loss at this point. After the emergence of the comprehensive warlord separatist state caused by the Second Revolution, China's household registration system collapsed. From the nominal unification of the Central Plains War to the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, it was still not restored. The direct consequence of the incomplete household registration system was that it could not collect taxes. The National Government did not have a household registration list, could not accurately grasp the population of each province and city, and could not determine the number of taxes.
Then the grass-roots kings of the provinces could casually perfunctorily treat the central government at that time, the National Government, and take taxes for their own use. The provinces that the National Government could control on the eve of the War of Resistance, namely the southeast coast and the slightly inland provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, which were slightly inland. The tax revenue was also limited there. In fact, the National Government could only actually rule that area. China has always been divided, and it has been divided since the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
Subsequently, the July 7 Incident and the Battle of Shanghai were reflected. After losing the most important provinces, the financial situation of the National Government has been very difficult. Under such a difficult situation, it has been so difficult for eight years of the War of Resistance. Only those who have experienced it can know how hard it is. Part of the reason for the power struggle within the National Government during the War of Resistance is that the vast majority of the basic starting point of integrating national forces to truly realize the national anti-Japanese resistance.
A split agricultural country cannot fight against a complete industrial power with all its might. Some declassified documents in recent years show that the National Government was forced to resist Japan by three points and seven points to internal. The harm of internal disputes is far greater than external threats. Warlords, Western countries, backward productivity, and Soviet Russia are all internal problems. Together, it is just that the country is not unified, so how can we resist external humiliation?
So, what Suning has to do is to deliberately burn Goguryeo from a centralized and mature government state back to the tribal era, let it fall into division again, and let it go wherever it comes from, no matter if the ancestors were the same monkey or orangutan, now you dare to beat us, so you have to ask you to get out! Brothers have to settle the score clearly!
Leave me from the civilized world!
He issued a fierce order to kill all the people and soldiers under his command rushing up to kill all the Goguryeo palace men and soldiers, and then rushed into the government area of the Goguryeo Palace. No matter where it was, just burn it. Burn it, burn it all, burn it all, and witness with your own eyes the wonderful legendary story of how a civilized country degenerated into the tribal era!
To destroy a country is not only to surrender and assimilate this path, but also to destroy its civilization, its cities and land, its villages, its household registration system, and its group of officials. The best way is to use violent methods to completely destroy its capital, and then it will naturally retreat to the barbaric era.
This is also a social experiment!
The burning fire made Suning feel very happy. Everything was irreversible. The Goguryeo King Capital, full of fear and panic, had been destroyed. Next, the destruction of the entire Goguryeo Kingdom. If you want to do this, you must first capture or kill his current king alive. However, Suning felt that the benefit of capturing him alive might be greater than the benefit of killing him. According to His Majesty Li Er's bad character, he must like to ridicule his defeated opponent very much.
How could those opponents who made him feel depressed before being defeated by him, such as Jie Li and his son, who were working hard to study dance skills.
Suning felt that Gao Jianwu, who was alive, might be better than Gao Jianwu, because only Gao Jianwu and his queen and son were needed, and the number of people was probably not too large. As long as you take away all the direct heirs and kill the others, let all the people qualified to inherit the throne die or be captured under the Goguryeo government system die or be captured, and the result is very clear.
Suning led his army toward the residence of the Goguryeo royal family. The result was obvious. There were dead bodies and burning buildings all the way, as well as some palace servants and guards who were running around. In order to gain time, as long as they did not block the road, they would not spend time killing him and let him go. We should do our best to catch Gao Jianwu's family as quickly as possible, and kill the rest of them. These small fish and shrimps don't need to be cared about.
Gao Jianwu, I'm here! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
