Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 257 Abnormal noise
And in the middle of Haidong Country, Jimu Town, the key point at the junction of Yizhou, Shuozhou, and Yuanzhou.Zhen Xuan, the general in front of Wang Jing's small imperial court, also dropped the blood-stained sword in her hand, and looked into the distance with some indifference; behind the rolling hills was the direction of Zhongyuan Jing in the east.

And behind him as the background, there are many subordinates who are slaughtering the local scholars and people; among them are the former volunteers, as well as the subdued Haidong Tu nationality and tribesmen; , Now they are all gathered and assigned to run under his command.

All this is just to complete an unprecedented feat, to raid the Central Plains capital where the Beidi (rebellion) Xingtai is located; to form enough containment and threats to the Xingtai soldiers and horses that are raging in the southeastern states.King Fusang, who really dominates Wang Jing, also provided comprehensive assistance for this.

Not only did he go against all opinions and approved him, but he also proposed to sneak attack Zhongyuanjing on the sea, and expanded it into a comprehensive counter-offensive strategy to conquer the general's mansion; And sea power, all gathered for his dispatch.

Therefore, under this kind of great trust and responsibility, Zhen Xuan can only embark on these decisive journeys of life and death without hesitation.After all, after betraying all the rebels in the Battle of Bagong Mountain, even if everyone in the world can return to Xingtai anyway, he is the only one who absolutely cannot.

What's more, he was arranged to marry Wang Jing Xiaoting, the wife and sister of the puppet government, and the fourth daughter of Xuanyuan Jun, a branch of the Fusang royal family.And it has been established as a model of cooperation with Fusang people.Therefore, his only way out now is to look forward to and assist the Fusang people to win the final victory.

As for Zhen Xuan, who was born in the middle of the mountains, she was able to step up to her current position step by step, which can also be said to be a trick of fate.In fact, before the Celestial Dynasty entered Haidong, there were tribesmen in the hometown of Silla, and Zhen Xuan's ancestors could not be regarded as authentic Tu ethnic origin.

It originated from the first year of Emperor Tang (Gaozong) Zongzhang (688), which was destroyed by Koguryo.It’s just that after the fall of Goguryeo, the Andong Protectorate was set up on the homeland, and there were still rebellions one after another, claiming to be the royal family of Goryeo, which lasted for more than ten years.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty decided to take the bottom line and hid the last king of Goguryeo, including hundreds of thousands of royal families, nobles and bureaucrats, scholars, chieftains, and their families, relatives and vassals; The dust has turned into Tang soil.

(Note: In the determination of the genetic census of the Chinese population in later generations, it is often found in southern samples that some genetic characteristics obviously come from the ancient Dongyi ethnic group. As the saying goes: Goguryeo is orthodox in Jiangsu and Anhui. Not Silla/Korean lineage .)
And those Goguryeo adherents who stayed in their homeland were also divided because of this.Some of them accepted the rule of the Tang Dynasty and changed customs and became naturalized people; the most famous one is Gao Xianzhi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty who was born as a private slave during the Kaiyuan period, and once awe-inspiring in Central Asia.

(Since he was born as a slave, he is also a descendant of a foreign race, and he has also become the highest officer of the frontier military region. Gao Xianzhi can be described as a legendary figure full of BUFF stacks of various attributes. It is also the best portrayal of Roman orthodoxy in China (fog))
The other part defected and gathered under the command of Daisaku Rong, the newly-emerged leader of Limo Mohe in the north of Goguryeo; eventually became one of the many ethnic groups in the founding of Balhae.However, there were also a small number of people who were persuaded and won over by the old enemy Silla, and they ran south across the Datong River.

Thus, it became the source of the three Goryeo buildings set up in the border defense of the north among the nine oath buildings of the royal army of Silla.However, since the ancestors of the contemporary government were able to quell the civil strife in the last Silla Dynasty and set up the Hanghai East Road and Daehangdae, the Goryeo Sanzhu naturally disappeared.

Some of them were unwilling to accept it. Goryeo Sanju, which was conquered and ruled by the contemporary government, fled south to the remote south of Wonju, where criminals have been exiled since ancient times; they continued to resist for a while.In the end, it died out under various suppressions, and only some descendants in the mountains remained.

Zhentouzhai, where Zhen Xuan lives, is one of the settlements of these remnants.It's just that with the passage of time, there are only some oral songs about the origin and origin of the ancestors; and even the people in the mountains cannot completely break away from the outside world.

Therefore, in Zhen Xuan's life, although these people in the middle of the mountain did not need to pay the head tax or land tax directly to the government or the local vassals; Military service.And Zhen Xuan is one of the tribesmen who have served in the military.

Therefore, when the Fusang Domain attacked in a large scale, Haidong's government was missing, and a large area of ​​the country fell; Grange also had the first bucket of capital to start a business.

Then, he fled back to Zhentou Village in the mountains of Yuanzhou, and simply killed the clan head and elders in the village, and made himself the head of the village.For this reason, they gathered in various places in the mountains to recruit troops and join the party to fight against dissidents, and gathered people to capture Qingshan Town nearby, and began to own a foundation in a corner of Wonju.

In the troubled times that followed, based on the people in the mountains in the southern part of Yuanzhou, he continued to fight and fight with all parties that rose up in the vicinity; The local wealthy families, not to mention the various rebels and bandits.

In order to protect himself and save himself in troubled times, he also once got close to the mighty Maitreya Sect, and was worshiped as one of the 360 ​​five-party fire masters; but when the Baekje rebels attacked, he killed them without hesitation. The preacher of the Maitreya religion became a county head of the pseudo-Baekje state.

And when the puppet dynasty of Baekje, which was ruled by Xiyuanjing, was overthrown by the rebellious platform raised in the north; he also unceremoniously killed the county supervisor sent by Baekje, and became the enemy of the southern county of Wonju anyway. One of the rebels.They even sent people to ambush and rob the Fusang people's load teams several times.

Then, as the Fusang Army was defeated one after another in Xiongzhou, Hanzhou, and Sangju; he also took advantage of the situation to besiege and annihilate several Fusang troops who had retreated and crossed the border; therefore, he became famous in the southern part of Wonju , and even strengthened through continuous mergers with neighboring forces.

In the end, he also received one of the envoys sent by Xingtai, and the letter of appointment from Quandai Huangshi County Sheriff.But this can no longer satisfy Zhen Xuan's growing ambition and appetite.And following the decree of Beidi Xingtai, the alliance of various volunteers in Bagong Mountain was also his most glorious moment.

He commanded nearly ten thousand people under his command and his confidence was inflated. He was no longer satisfied with the position of a guerrilla general under the fifth rank, but wanted to be a governor and a strategic position on his own; He became a new hero and prince of the Haidong government.

However, the stance of the platform gave him a blow to the head without hesitation. "A lowly savage who dares to seek a high position", these were the disdainful words of the eunuch/eunuch privately criticizing him.Therefore, he simply established himself as the governor of the South China Sea, in order to achieve a de facto separation between the north and the south.

But at this time, compared to the ambiguous attitude of Xingtai, an old friend of his has brought him the conditions of Fusang people.So this time, Zhen Xuan had nothing to hesitate.Then he set up a Hongmen banquet to wipe out all the leaders of the rebel army.

The leaderless Daoyi armies in the southeast were also strangled to death by the Fusang army surrounded on all sides.And using the bones of tens of thousands of people as stepping stones, Zhen Xuan also got her wish and became a small royal court run by the Fusang people, a great general in front of the imperial palace, and a Mingshihou who led five hundred households.

The master of Fusang even married the noble daughter of the royal family to him, and changed her name to Qiu Shiyin; and based on a piece of golden crow-shaped ancient jade he got in his hand, he fabricated a genealogy and history of the descendants of the royal family of Goguryeo for him. identity.As a result, Zhen Xuan was extremely grateful.

Therefore, as the puppet of the Fusang people, under the command of the small court of Wang Jing, one of the few main leaders of the armed forces; Zhen Xuan also spared no effort in eliminating the remnants of the local rebellion and capturing the spies and sympathizers in the North. Let it go, exhausted all means and achieved great results.

However, as the saying goes, the good times don't last long, and news came from the North again; the princess who led the troops back to the country first suddenly retired and abdicated.Then, Beidi Xingtai led troops southward on a large scale, defeating Fusang soldiers and horses from all walks of life in a row, and even reached the territory of Liangzhou where Wang Jing was located.

Although Zhen Xuan's confidence and loyalty to the Fusang people have not changed; however, there has been obvious wavering and depression under his command; Old subordinates, come to warn others and show your resolve.

However, worse news came urgently; the Xingtai army that invaded Liangzhou was just a cover, and the main force actually conquered the counties in the southwestern Kangzhou in one fell swoop, and took down Jinhai, one of the five most fortified cities. Beijing.This is unbelievable and creepy.

For this reason, King Fusang, who had been manipulating the situation behind the scenes and didn't show up so easily, even made a special trip to summon all the important officials of the Wangjing small court including him to comfort him face to face.And he was stayed on a special trip, and told some inside information about the past.

According to the long-planned plan of the Fusang coalition forces who came across the sea, they did not completely overthrow the government office and completely occupy the thirteen prefectures and two hundred counties in Haidong.It was only because the office was too unbearable in the face of foreign invasion that it became this way.

Therefore, the original plan of the Fusang people was to occupy the relatively warm and wealthy six or seven states in the south, thinking that the fiefs and divisions of Zhiling would be good; The northern states continue to maintain the rule of the government as vassals.

Therefore, the good choice for the Fusang people to support as a vassal/puppet office is actually not the current young master who is both a concubine and a young master; but the prostitute who fled with the master's father.Because the other party has both the status of a son and the identity of a woman, it is really suitable for the request.

In this way, Fusang Lord only needs to support his succession, and then arrange people to combine with him, so that he can have as many heirs as possible;Naturally, in terms of name and righteousness, it is possible to complete the stealing of the governance of the Haidong government's world system.

Therefore, at the beginning, all the feudal clans sent a dozen or so chasers, even more than they paid attention to the weak and incompetent but good at running away.But also because of King Deming's promise of "first come, first served", these chasing soldiers kept fighting with each other.

Therefore, in the end, only the general of Beilu, the son of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, who was close to the water and got the moon first, was able to catch the tail of the opponent's last trace.Just when everyone thought that the blood of the Shanuchi family was about to successfully rule over Haidong, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
