Marry Changle in Datang

Gao Kan ordered the army to attack, but because he underestimated the enemy, he fell into the encirclement circle set by Pang Tongshan. At the critical moment, Princess Caixia led the army to attack from the side of the Koryo army.

Pang Tongshan led the army to retreat to the three cities of "Nansu", "Mudi" and "Cangyan", but because the army he led could not form an effective line of defense, they were all defeated by Princess Caixia's army, beheading five of the Goryeo army along the way. More than [-] people later joined the Koryo army led by Quan Boyan. At this time, the navy led by Zhang Dabao had already moved from the Yalu River to the waters outside Pyongyang, forming a complete encirclement of the Koryo navy.

On the way, Luo Shiyi and Lu Qingling's troops had already wiped out all the scattered remnants of Pang Tongshan's troops that were cruising outside the Koryo king's city, and the army was approaching the Koryo king's capital.

Just when Qin Wenyuan's army steadily advanced to "Yicheng" and joined the army of Princess Caixia and Quan Nannan, the troops of Su Dingfang under Li Jing's command and the coalition forces of Silla and Qin's army had already captured several cities in Koryo, and several armies approached the royal capital of Pyongyang. , Putting aside the siege.

After Qin Wenyuan gathered under his command, he led his army to quickly break through the defense line of "Yicheng" in Koryo, and chased down the defeated Koryo soldiers all the way. After a few days, they arrived at the royal capital of Pyongyang, and finally joined forces with the coalition forces such as Su Dingfang who had arrived earlier.

By this time, the Koryo army had almost no ability to resist, and the generals under Izumi Nanjian's command had been beaten to pieces.

The army besieged the city for more than a month, which made the soldiers and civilians in the royal city of Koryo overwhelmed. They wanted to abandon the city many times and surrendered. People in the city who approached the city gate were all shot and killed mercilessly, causing the soldiers and civilians in the city to hate each other for a while, and sometimes there were conflicts between soldiers and civilians, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

Koryo King Gaozang and Izumi Nanchan were in panic all day long. Facing the riots in the city and the siege of the army outside the city, they knew that the defense of the city was hopeless and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken. Nearly a hundred people, while Quan Nanjian was upset and drunk, colluded with the gatekeeper sergeant, quietly went out of the city to find Princess Gaoqin, and presented the king's seal of Koryo to surrender.

After Quan Nanjian found out that this guy beheaded a dozen gatekeepers in a rage, he sent an order to strengthen the guards of the city gate, and led the army to take the initiative to fight to break through the siege.

Qin Wenyuan was furious. He wanted to avoid using firearms to attack the city and minimize the casualties of soldiers and civilians in the city. But this guy was too ignorant. When the building was about to collapse, he still didn't know how to judge the situation. Attack the gate at close range.

Zhou Cang got the order to lead his guards to blast open the city gates with a hundred rockets. Amid the "rumbling" explosion, Luo Shiyi and Lu Qingling led the army to rush into the city gates as the vanguard, beheaded the enemies and generals, and quickly occupied the four gates.

Qin Wenyuan waved his army to hide and kill, and several troops entered the city.

Zhou Cang followed Qin Wenyuan closely, and when he entered the city, Quan Nanjian led a small group of enemy troops who still resisted. This guy rose up to kill the enemy, and after several rounds, Quan Nanjian was picked off his horse, and the sergeant was bound in front of Qin Wenyuan.

"Take care of this fellow, wait for the city to appease him, and kill him in public!"

After Qin Wenyuan ordered lightly, he continued to lead his army to the Palace of the King of Korea.

In front of the gate of the palace, Gao Zang knelt down to welcome Gao Qin, the new king of Gaoli. Looking at the miserable appearance of this brother of the same clan who was treated as a puppet, Gao Qin felt a little sad, so she said softly.

"Get up! After the kingdom is pacified, you must have a place. Now that the Gao clan is withering, it is time for us to work together."

With tears in Gao Zang's eyes, he promised, got up and followed Gao Qin to enter the palace. Later, nearly a hundred courtiers from Koryo who had surrendered with Quan Nanchan entered the palace.

Since then, the Goryeo Kingdom has returned to the Gao family, and the first Goryeo Queen has appeared in history.

Qin Wenyuan’s envoys Luo Shiyi, Lu Qingling and others took the Queen’s handbook and led the army to clear away the remnants of the Koryo army who were still resisting, so that the military and political officials in various places in Koryo who accepted the Queen’s handbook and were willing to submit to them did a good job of pacifying the unrest on the spot and bringing the soldiers and civilians back to normal. .

In February of the 11th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the whole territory of Koryo was pacified, and Queen Gao Qin of Koryo got Xu Tian's plan to reset the jurisdiction of Koryo to nine governor's mansions, 42 states, and [-] counties, and set up the Andong Protectorate in Wangcheng To deal with the Tang Dynasty, Xu Xiaogang, a son who is less than two years old, was sent to lead the guard at a distance, and all his powers were delegated to Xu Tian.

The major events of the Koryo State are established, and its state affairs are run according to the strategy of administration, and the army also has to temporarily rest.

On this day, Qin Wenyuan, Zhang Zhongjian, Li Jing, Su Dingfang and other generals and envoys from the Silla Kingdom gathered in the Palace of the King. Koryo Queen Gaoqin presented Li Shimin's memorabilia and a list of Koryo's tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and the Koryo officials read it out in court. Later, it concluded an alliance agreement with Silla and took back the Koryo territory previously occupied by Baekje.

Li Jing accepted it, and quickly sent a messenger to report to Li Shimin, and asked the imperial court to send personnel to set up management yamen in Baekje and Silla. The duty of protecting Gaoqin.

Qin Nian and Jiang Deling, the kid adopted during the war between Qin Wenyuan and the Xi Clan, eventually became a general of one side, and the descendants of his family who grew up in Koryo have been the leaders of the royal family's army for generations.

While the army was resting and waiting for the emperor's will, Qin Wenyuan and his uncles Zhang Zhongjian and Li Jing often talked about their understanding of the navy. The advanced concepts and navigation equipment made them amazed. Chongbao, when it comes to folk customs and rich products in many Southeast Asian countries, Qin Wenyuan benefited from the knowledge in books in the system, making his speech full of story-like plots, which made Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian shout out.

"as big as World, nothing is nonexistent!"

Zhang Zhongjian suddenly wanted to travel and see, and said to Qin Wenyuan.

"Xiao Tian, ​​Uncle wants to send the boat to see if it will be accepted, what preparations should we make?"

"If my uncle intends to visit various countries, my nephew has some ideas. He can use this opportunity to visit the customs of various countries and carry out maritime trade by the way. Come for the gold, crop seeds, spices and various advanced mechanical technologies that we need."

Li Jing looked at Qin Wenyuan as if looking at a monster. He would never have imagined that this boy would know all these unheard-of things in the sea. He pondered in the words of this boy's description of the huge benefits of maritime trade, and then listened to Qin Wenyuan and Zhang Zhongjian. Said.

"If my uncle really wants to go to various countries, my nephew can ask the craftsmen to build a semi-mechanized giant warship for his use, equip the ship with sharp weapons such as artillery, and minimize the risk of safety in the open sea."

"What is semi-mechanization?"

"Haha! This is when the ship is sailing, so that the special mechanical energy can be used as the driving force when it is running, so that the manpower can be saved to the greatest extent, and the sailing speed and stability have been greatly improved. Only ships can have the ability to go to sea."

Zhang Zhongjian has been immersed in the sea for more than ten years, and he has never heard of such a large warship, he was so excited that he lost his composure.

"Then wait for a bird! Why don't people hurry up to build this kind of warship? There are craftsmen on Laozi Island, and there are all kinds of wood for shipbuilding. Just tell me how to build it."

"Uncle, please be safe and don't be impatient. Let's talk about it after the little nephew has finished drawing the blueprint. Good things are not busy, so let's rest for a few days."

No one expected that just when Qin Wenyuan was chatting with his uncle and Li Jing about the maritime affairs, his subsequent actions would inadvertently start the era of Datang's voyages to Southeast Asian countries.

Just when Li Jing sent envoys to the palace to report the memorials to pacify Baekje and Goryeo, Li Shimin was sad all day long, which plunged the palace into great sorrow.

But it turned out that the winter and spring seasons had entered, and Empress Changsun was seriously ill again, and had already appeared in a coma for several times. Li Shimin wanted to order Qin Wenyuan to go to the palace for treatment, but the empress hated Qin Wenyuan for killing his brother, and would rather die than let him be healed. It can be seen how deep the hatred for Qin Wenyuan is in her heart, so that Princess Xiangcheng is getting older now, and she is still in the deep palace and cannot get married with Qin Wenyuan, so she is depressed all day long.

Li Shimin had no choice but to follow the queen's wishes, so that Dr. Sun lived in the palace to treat the queen's illness.

Let’s talk about people who are sick!Sometimes stubbornness often makes people unreasonable. Even the proposal of Prince Li Chengqian, who was worried about his mother's serious illness, asking for an amnesty for the prisoners and saving them into Taoism for blessings, was also flatly rejected by the Queen.

The poor idiot was filial to his mother, so he asked his teacher, Prince Zhan's office Xuanling, to think of ways to relieve his mother's condition.

Fang Xuanling was not a doctor, how could he know how to alleviate a person's illness, so he had no choice but to ask all the officials in the court.

When the courtiers heard that the queen was seriously ill, they all agreed with the prince's idea of ​​pardoning the world and praying for his mother.

However, Li Shimin found another way, ordered the rebuilding of Chang'an City "Jinsheng Temple" and many other temples that were burned down by Xu Tianshi's guards, and made many monks chant scriptures to pray for the queen's well-being. day.

The queen's illness was so protracted, and in the miserable night with dim lights, the eldest grandson queen finally began to explain the funeral when she was dying. Xiangcheng wedding time said.

"Son! Empress Mother has delayed your marriage because she resented Qin Wenyuan in her heart. Seeing that you are unhappy in the palace all day long, you actually can't bear it in your heart. After you leave for your mother, you can make up your own mind whether to marry or not."

After talking about the matter of Xiangcheng, Empress Changsun ordered to retreat to the left and right, and the husband and wife depended on each other to reminisce about the past, reluctant to part with Yin and Yang.

Li Shimin's eyes were clouded with tears, and Empress Changsun finally closed her eyes peacefully and passed away.

In April of the 11th year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun died. All the courtiers wore hemp and filial piety.

Li Jing and other courtiers hurried back to the capital to attend the funeral of the queen, and then went to the imperial mausoleum to sacrifice to the soul of the queen. After several months, Qin Wenyuan did not get the order of the court to return to Beijing to participate because the queen resented him. In this matter, I am happy that this guy will continue to help Gao Qin straighten out the affairs of the country in Koryo, and talk to my uncle about interesting things overseas all day long.

At this time, the people in Chang'an City heard that the Tang envoys Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla had proclaimed their vassals. The proud words of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the storyteller even compiled the Goryeo War into a storybook, and talked about it in restaurants and teahouses all day long, attracting loud applause from the people.

Qin Wenyuan's name is widely circulated among the common people in Chang'an City. How can it be a good word to speak of Lord Xu? In the hearts of the common people, this guy is no longer a mortal, but a god who descended to the mortal world for Xingjun. Soldiers can move mountains and fill seas, and their mounts are transformed by the son of the Dragon King, and the weapons in their hands are made by ancient gods.

Some people enshrined this statue in their homes. At one time, the supply of Qin Wenyuan's portraits and statues was in short supply. A smart businessman in Chang'an City asked craftsmen to cast a large number of this statue. It was rewarded, and the soldiers quickly stopped such behaviors of digging mountains regardless of their lives.

This matter was reported to the imperial court, and Li Shimin took advantage of the opportunity of the soldiers who made great contributions to the Eastern Expedition, and summoned a group of ministers to discuss the matter at the Tai Chi Hall.

There were Ministers of the Ministry of Officials, You Pushe of Shangshu, and Gao Shilian, the Duke of Shen Guo, who came out to report.

"Your Majesty, don't bother about this matter. This is what the people of Chang'an City gossip with after dinner, and the folks still like to spread stories based on heroes. Naturally, it is in line with the hearts of the common people, and I believe that the imperial court should not mind this matter, it should be taken lightly, as time goes by, this matter will gradually subside."

Li Shimin said with a smile when he heard this.

"I didn't expect that bastard to be so lucky to be sought after by the people. Now the Northeast and Koryo are under Qin Wenyuan's control. Even though Koryo has a state book to proclaim its ministers, the imperial court can't interfere with military affairs. Anton's governor is such an important post. Letting a child under two years old let him go, Qin Wenyuan's ambition is not small."

Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, listened to the emperor's intentions and knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with Qin Wenyuan's control of Northeast and Koryo state affairs, so he spoke out in the hall.

"Your Majesty! In the matter of Goryeo, I thought that Silla and the Baekje Alliance could be dealt with. The imperial court sent officials to the two countries to lobby against Goryeo, and sent secret agents to sneak into Goryeo to instigate the Koryo nobles who were dissatisfied with the Queen's rule. The undercurrent of Goryeo’s state affairs is turbulent, which will inevitably cause domestic turmoil. This strategy can not only contain Qin Wenyuan’s layout in the northeast, but also make the Goryeo nobles dissatisfied with the turmoil in the royal family’s governance of the country. In short, this is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone, and I hope the emperor will allow me to play it."

Li Jing and other ministers looked at Hou Junji's proposal with cold eyes, and wondered how such a foolish plan could hide Qin Wenyuan's tricks. Strategies, Silla and Baekje are in danger, with Xu Jiajun's navy and "Yaoluo Island" Zhang Zhongjian's pirates, plus Xu Jiajun and Koryo's army attacking from land, the entire peninsula will fall into Qin Wenyuan's hands. So that Goryeo will no longer regard Datang as the suzerain state.
