Fenghou

In particular, it is mentioned in the article that three months ago, the Japanese emperor sent assassins to sneak into the palace to assassinate the emperor of the Yong Dynasty.

As soon as this article came out, it caused a huge wave of discussion within the Yong Dynasty.

Except for a very small number of relatively pedantic Confucian scholars, almost all common people and gentry supported the concept of this article.

In particular, the assassination of the emperor by Japanese assassins aroused strong indignation in the ruling and opposition parties, and they all demanded to send troops to crusade against Japan.

In the imperial study room, Zhou Kuan pointed at the newspaper and said with a smile, "This report was written by His Majesty!"

Chen Qing smiled slightly: "How do you know I wrote it? Could it be that other than me, no one else knows how to write it?"

Zhou Kuan said with a smile: "I have followed His Majesty for so many years, and I have a better understanding. Others can write history and the present, but only Your Majesty can look at problems from the perspective of future generations, and eliminate all kinds of dangers in the bud, such as Grassland, we only see a few tribes threatening the border, but His Majesty can see that the Grassland will unify and form a stronger empire, threatening our survival, so His Majesty split the Grassland into hundreds Small tribe."

"It's called thinking ahead!"

Chen Qing said with a smile: "All emperors want to seek eternal life, and I am of course no exception."

At this time, Yang Tai said at the door: "Your Majesty, all the Prime Ministers have arrived!"

Zhou Kuan hurriedly said: "Weichen will go first!"

Chen Qing nodded, "You go first! I'll be there right away!"

Not long after, Chen Qing came to the meeting hall, where the Prime Minister and senior officials arrived, and they were all discussing today's newspaper.

"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

The supervisor in the hall shouted loudly, and the hall fell silent. Chen Qing quickly walked to his seat and sat down. All the officials bowed and saluted together, "See Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Dear ladies, please sit down!"

Chen Qing waved his hands and asked everyone to sit down.

The hall was very quiet, Chen Qing said slowly: "I have called you today to discuss two things with you, the first is about Korea; the second is about Japan.

Let's talk about Koryo first. The war in Koryo is over now. Everyone must know that the 15 Japanese troops who invaded Koryo have been wiped out. Koryo surrendered to us. Now there are two options for how to deal with Koryo. The first plan is to compress the Goryeo Kingdom to the former Silla Kingdom. It is located in the southeast and its area is about [-]% of the current Goryeo Kingdom. The other former Goguryeo and Baekje territories belong to us. This is the easiest way. , but there will be future troubles, and we will always face a regime that wants to restore the country.

The second plan is the Anxi plan, retaining the nominal king of Koryo, abolishing the Goryeo court and army, setting up a Koryo governor, stationing [-] troops, and all local officials are dispatched by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, building a large number of schools, comprehensively popularizing Han culture, and cultivating the common people. The sense of identity of the North Korean people.

Let's all talk about it!Which solution is better? "

Jiang Yan first raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, my humble minister throws bricks to attract jade, let me say a few words first!"

Chen Qing waved his hand, "Jiang Xiangguo, please speak!"

"Your Majesty, I am more inclined to the second option. Now is an excellent opportunity. Koryo is now on the verge of extinction. There are almost no young and strong men, the population is declining, and the people's livelihood is dying. If we are merciful, give Goryeo has a chance to breathe. After 20 years, it will be impossible to destroy it.

The minister thought that we should learn from the Tang Dynasty's method of destroying Goguryeo, and move all the Goryeo nobles and gentry to the Yong Dynasty and disperse them to various places. Then we can leave a large number of unmarried soldiers in Goryeo and let them marry young Goryeo women , so that the population replacement can be successfully performed. "

Zhou Kuan also raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I also agree with Jiang Xiangguo's plan. Although Goryeo does not understand our language, but the writing and living customs are the same, it can be merged into the Yong Dynasty. Now is indeed an opportunity. If you don't seize it With this opportunity, we will be ashamed of future generations."

Chen Qing nodded, "How many ministers oppose the second plan and choose the first one, please raise your hand for me to see!"

Lu Qingshan raised his hand, in fact, the first plan was proposed by him, it was a compromise plan.

But the embarrassing thing is that in the entire side hall, among the more than twenty officials, only Lu Qingshan raised his hand.

"Ministers who agree with the second plan, please raise your hands!" Chen Qing asked again.

Except for Lu Qingshan, the other ministers raised their hands in unison. Everyone was aware of this once-in-a-lifetime strategic opportunity. If they didn't seize it, they would be ashamed of future generations.

Chen Qing nodded, "We will follow the second plan. The Internal Affairs Hall is responsible for drafting a detailed plan, and it will take two years to complete the destruction of Korea."

Chen Qing continued: "Let's talk about Japan again. I think the Japanese plan should be able to reach a consensus. Simply speaking, there are three points. First, occupy the northern big island and name it Jingzhou; second, send troops to destroy the Japanese imperial court and implement The feudal vassals favored the system and detailed the island countries of Japan; thirdly, strictly controlled the armaments and did not allow a catty of pig iron to flow into Japan!"

……

After the discussion was over, Chen Qing returned to the official room. At this time, Yang Tai reported: "Xu Xiangguo asks to see you!"

"Please come in!"

After a while, Xu Xiantu came in, bowed and saluted, "See Your Majesty!"

"Please sit down!"

Chen Qing smiled and asked Xu Xiantu to sit down and said, "Does Xu Xiangguo have any good suggestions?"

"Exactly! Jiang Xiangguo mentioned Goguryeo just now, and I thought of something."

"what's up?"

"After the Goguryeo nobles were moved to Datang, they attempted to restore the country. They secretly colluded with Silla and created great conditions for Silla to expand to the north. However, Datang has never been aware of this problem. I think we must learn from it. lesson."

"What good advice does Xu Xiangguo have?"

"Weichen has two suggestions. The first is to disperse them as much as possible and order the local governments to monitor them; the second is to respond internally. Weichen suggests that we secretly buy a few Koreans so that we can grasp the collusion among them. Once you find out who has the heart to restore the country, kill him decisively."

Chen Qing nodded slightly, "Xu Xiangguo said very well, this matter can be left to the inner guard."

The first thousand and 580 chapters and seven voyages [the finale]

In the small city of Linjin in the south of Kaijing, hundreds of households have been relocated. This small town is used as a temporary migration town.

A large number of nobles and gentry were moved to this small city from all directions, and after a short stay, they took a boat to the Yong Dynasty.

Although they all begged to stay, it was useless. They could kill themselves and die in their homeland. If they wanted to survive, they could only migrate to the Yong Dynasty.

At dawn, the first batch of more than 2000 nobles lined up to board the ship. They dragged their families, carried boxes, and bundles, which were filled with their own soft gold and silver.

Li Ziqian was the first to board the big boat with more than [-] members of his family. They only carried more than [-] suitcases. This is the only thing they feel lucky about.

Yong Jun did not deprive them of their wealth, but allowed them to take it away.

Immediately afterwards, the families of Tuo Junjing and Jin Fushi also boarded the big ship, followed by a long team. They will take ten thousand stone ships to Penglai County, and set up a temporary camp in Nari.

There they will be scattered in various states and counties. This time they will be distributed very scatteredly, as far as Sichuan Road, as close as Jiangnan East Road, as well as Hebei Road, Shandong Road, Henan Road, East Road, Lianghu Road, and Lianghu Road. Zhejiang Road, Fujian Road, Guangnan Road, Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, etc.

Once they arrive in the counties, they are not allowed to move around and will be monitored by the local government. This will become one of the promotion assessments for every county magistrate. It can be said that they will basically die in their place of residence.

"Set sail!" With a loud shout, the fleet started, and ten large ships sailed to the open sea. More than [-] Korean nobles left their homeland amidst all the cries.

……

After Liu Qiong ended the Goryeo Campaign, he shouldered the important task of attacking Japan.

This morning, five hundred thousand stone ships loaded with one hundred thousand troops passed through the narrow strait between Nagato and Buzen, which is today's Shimonoseki.

The Yong Army launched an offensive against Japan with Tsushima Island as its logistics base.

Their goal is Heian-kyo, the capital of Japan, which is today's Kyoto.

On the first huge ship with [-] shi, Liu Qiong stood at the bow and looked at the vast sea.

Tang Qian came over and said, "It's strange, I didn't meet any of their ships along the way."

"Most of their ships were destroyed in Goryeo. They used 15 troops to conquer Goryeo, and they also confiscated almost all the ships in the country, so it's normal not to see their ships."

"I don't know how many defenders they will have in the capital?"

"Up to 3 people!" Liu Qiong said lightly.

"It's so little?"

"This country is equivalent to our Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. There are dozens of small countries. The territory controlled by the imperial court is not large. There were originally 10,000+ troops, but in Koryo, [-] imperial troops were wiped out, and there were [-] local troops. , their imperial army is running low, and countries are unwilling to work for the imperial court, so we must pay special attention to not letting the other royal family escape."

"The humble job is worried about logistics supplies, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up!"

Liu Qiong said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is a large amount of grain hoarded in the Japanese capital, which is enough to solve the problem of insufficient military food."

After the fleet sailed for six days, a large island appeared in front of them. Liu Qiong checked the map and found that this was Awaji Island. The fleet passed through Awaji Island and arrived at Kobe Port. This is a good natural port. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Ships from the Tang Dynasty moored here.

The [-] troops landed at Kobe Port immediately. Among the [-] troops, [-] cavalry and [-] horses came to Japan along with the big ship.

Liu Qiong immediately ordered Zhang Xian to be the forward. Under the leadership of the guide, he led [-] cavalry to rush to Ping'an Jing to prevent the Japanese royal family from escaping. Tang Qian led an army of [-] to follow closely behind.

An army of [-] was left to guard Kobe, while Liu Qiong himself led an army of [-] to attack Ping'an Jing in a mighty manner.

This was a surprise attack without any suspense. It took only half an hour for [-] cavalry to defeat the opponent's [-] troops, and directly entered Ping'an capital. At dawn, the [-] troops led by Tang Qian also killed Ping An Jing.

The Yong army came suddenly, and the Japanese court was completely unprepared, and there was no chance of escape. The Emperor, the Pope, and the Fujiwara family who were in power were all wiped out, and hundreds of royal families and ministers became prisoners.

Nearly 50 shi of grain was seized by the Yong army.

……

Two months later, the [-] Yong Army faced off against the [-] Allied Army organized by various vassal states in Danba City.

This battle can be said to be a battle that will determine the fate of Japan.

On the Danba Plain, densely packed with [-] coalition troops from various vassal states in Japan, they formed a massive formation. They took their respective vassal states as their formations. Just in the field, escaped unharmed.

He ran around for two months, assembled an army of [-] troops, and vowed to drive out the invaders.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of drums and horns continued.

A large army shouted slogans and approached the Yong army. Liu Qiong looked at the dozens of mixed troops coldly. Their equipment was not even comparable to that of the Japanese army that invaded Korea. All of them were short in stature, like children. I even saw many soldiers using bamboo knives, and many of them didn't even have armor, but tied two wooden boards on the front and back of their bodies.

Although Liu Qiong repeatedly told himself not to underestimate the enemy, he really couldn't pay attention to this army. There was a gap of several generations between their army and the Japanese army, and they were completely crushed.

The [-] army formed five huge formations of ten thousand crossbow troops, followed by [-] infantry and [-] cavalry.

The [-] coalition army had already walked two miles away, they suddenly shouted, and rushed towards the Yong army overwhelmingly. Overwhelm each other.

"The crossbow army is ready!" Liu Qiong gave an order.

"Woo—" the low-pitched horn blew.

Fifty thousand god-arm crossbows piled on the ground pointing at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"Five hundred steps... 450 steps... [-] steps!"

"Fire the arrow!" Liu Qiong roared angrily.

The sound of clappers suddenly sounded, and [-] heavy arrows flew into the sky, forming a large black cloud in an instant, and shooting at the enemy.

The [-] crossbow arrows were so dense that they fell like raindrops, making it impossible to resist.

During the run, the Japanese army screamed and disappeared in groups. The former army running at the front had 8000 to [-] people who fell to the ground with arrows, but the inertia was so great that they couldn't stop at all.

Just after running for less than fifty steps, another [-] arrows were shot, this time half of the Japanese pirates entered the range, and countless soldiers fell down while running, and even more Japanese soldiers were shot, almost one piece at a time. fell to the ground.

All the soldiers of the Yong army have undergone strict training, and their movements are very skilled and fast. They loaded the third heavy arrow in an instant, and they didn't have to wait.

It took only 3 minutes for the five rounds of arrows, and 3 heavy arrows were shot in just 25 minutes. Each arrow weighed more than [-] grams. A bullet of less than [-] gram, even a man and horse protected by heavy armor will be shot through in an instant.

Not to mention the assault formation made entirely of human flesh, when the Japanese army finally realized the panic, they had already shot and killed almost half of the army, but they were still two hundred steps away from the Yong army.

Fear overcame the will, and the remaining [-] Japanese troops collapsed in an instant, turned around and fled for their lives, and were defeated across the board.

Liu Qiong waved his sword, "The cavalry attack!"

"Ugh-"

The horn sounded, and Yue Yun and Zhang Xian led the most elite [-] cavalry of the Yong army to attack.

They chased and killed the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers who were fleeing in panic, and soon caught up. The cavalrymen hacked left and right with their three-pointed and double-edged knives, and chased them for more than [-] miles in one breath, killing the Japanese soldiers with corpses and blood. Flow into a river.

In the Battle of Danba City, 5000 coalition troops were brutally massacred, and less than [-] soldiers survived. These were logistics soldiers who jumped into the Danba River to escape.

Fujiwara Laicaga and a dozen kings all died in the rebellion.

In addition to the 15 troops that were wiped out in Koryo and the nearly 5 people who were defeated before and after Heian-kyo, in just a few months, 30 Japanese soldiers died under the sword of the Yong army.

The Japanese vassal states completely succumbed. Three months later, nearly fifty kings and city lords signed the Tamba Treaty with Liu Qiong in Tamba City.

The kingdoms unanimously agreed to abolish the emperor system, abolish the Japanese imperial court, and all countries become independent, and the king is the supreme ruler in the territory.

Of course, this is also the dream result of the princes, and no one wants to be suppressed by the court.

Second, assign the southern part of Nagato Kingdom, Tsushima Island, Awaji Island, and Kobe Port to the Yong Dynasty. The Yong Army stationed 3 troops and [-] large ships in the above four places, and the logistics and food were provided by various countries.

Tang Qian was named the Japanese governor by the emperor Chen Qing and became the first governor stationed in Japan.

In the second year, Tang Qian sent [-] troops to the big island of Ezo, and occupied this big island where a small number of Azo people lived, which later became Hokkaido, and renamed it Jingzhou.

……

This morning, the wind was sunny, and three large ships with black smoke were sailing in the vast sea. They had passed through the Nanyang Islands before, and they were looking for the southern continent marked on the map.

Suddenly, the watchman with clairvoyance on the mast shouted, "Land! I see land, endless land."

Liu Dajiang also jumped up, pointing to a long black line in the south and shouting, "There! There!"

The crew rushed to the side of the ship, waved their arms and cheered together.

In January of the third year of Yongtai, the three expedition ships Dayu discovered the Southern Continent, which is later known as Australia.
