Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 44

"After arriving in the Northeast, the actual situation is not too different from Wang Baobao's idea. Whether it is Zhaozong who is entrenched in the Monan area, or Nahachu, the local snake in the Northeast, he is not really welcome." Guo Kang pointed out: " These people hope that Wang Baobao and the Ming army will consume each other and give themselves time to breathe. If he really fights with the main force of the Ming army and loses both, everyone will probably have a happy banquet."

"Although the Ming Dynasty was repelled a few times, he will definitely not let him go. Sooner or later, he will come to the door again. Being a guest army here is not a stable life."

"However, they have also considered ways to deal with it."

"The Goryeo country in the east has become more and more unstable these years." He showed everyone the location of Goryeo, and introduced: "Throughout history, although this country is weak, it has always had great ambitions and is a restless force."

"Advisors study history and believe that although the Goryeo Kingdom clings to the ancient Goguryeo, it is actually one of the independent regimes after the disintegration of Silla. At the beginning, the Silla people came from the southern part of the peninsula. With a submissive attitude, they deceived the Tang Dynasty. Relying on the protection of the Tang Dynasty, they defeated Goguryeo, the powerful enemy in the north and the Japanese on the southern seas, and finally incorporated the defeated tribes of the Three Hans. But after that, they turned against the Tang Dynasty, expanded northward, and invaded the Han Dynasty Only then did the territory extend to the Datong River and the Qingchuan River.”

"Coinciding with Wu's turmoil, the Khitans and Turks invaded Yan many times. The Tang Dynasty could not stop it, and the northeast direction was almost completely lost. Since then, it has stopped at Jumi, and no effective management has been established. Song, Liao, Jin They were also unable to intervene, and allowed Silla and its successor regime Goryeo to expand wantonly, even reaching the Yalu River Basin."

"The military power of the country was at its peak, and it finally interrupted the momentum of Silla and Goryeo's continuous northward expansion for hundreds of years, and drove Goryeo back to the south of the Datong River. Dongning Mansion manages this area. However, with the civil strife in the Yuan Dynasty, the Northeast region was also in chaos with the arrival of the Red Scarf Army, and the Koryo State took advantage of the situation to steal the two places again."

"Therefore, the counselors believe that it is reasonable and within their means to take back these places. Before Naha came out of that waste, he tried to take this place for himself, but he couldn't even defeat the Koreans, so the matter was shelved .Now is the opportunity for everyone.”

"Half a year later, more than 4 people from the well-prepared Wang Baobao Department set off from Liaoyang, invaded Korea, recaptured Dongning Mansion in Xijing, and regained the base area."

"Are these their rhetoric?" Borjan expressed doubts: "To be honest, I think this is more like a unilateral declaration of war, so I need to condemn all the evil deeds of the other party. But I don't believe it. A weak country , will continue to provoke neighbors and expand territory for hundreds of years. This is a bit unreasonable."

"Whether it is a unilateral exaggeration of evil deeds, I have not verified it, but it is true that they have been expanding for hundreds of years." Guo Kang said without hesitation: "If no one cares, they will continue to expand to the Yalu River and Tumen River. Woolen cloth."

"It's all out of habit." Li Xuanying interjected, "Under normal circumstances, it's really unlikely for a small country to provoke a big country like this. But the places they rob are basically power vacuums, so no one can control him. "

"Under normal circumstances, even if he had the strength of Goguryeo, he would have been beaten to death long ago. However, the Yingzhou Rebellion brought about by Empress Wu completely interrupted the entire operation in the northeast. From the Sixteen Kingdoms, Murong's business here At the beginning, the foundation of hundreds of years was basically destroyed in one day. Taizong and Gaozong put a lot of energy into it, and it was all in vain."

"So, we don't have to care about whether Wang Baobao's condemnation is right or not." Li Xuanying looked at everyone and reminded: "Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or Rome, they are all big countries. When encountering border problems, condemn the surrounding small countries and curse the four borders." It doesn’t make much sense. The real root of the problem must still be within the country; internal problems are far more destructive than a few small countries that like to toss around. Isn’t this the case with ancient and modern problems.”

"That's right. That's right." Everyone looked at the Queen intentionally or unintentionally, while agreeing with one voice.

This time, the queen herself realized that something was wrong.

She looked at Li Xuanying, then at Guo Kang, and said displeasedly: "You might as well make your words clearer."

"This... Seris's language has always been extensive and profound, and it cannot be understood just by reading the literal meaning, otherwise it will be too easy to misunderstand." Guo Kang hurriedly smoothed things over: "Brother Xuanying is devoted to the country, and when he sees the history, he expresses his feelings. Nothing else."

"It's like this." Shi Ke also came to chime in: "We military generals are all very simple and born to be loyal to the country. Please don't doubt our loyalty to the country."

"I have no doubts about your loyalty to Rome..." the queen spoke halfway, hesitated to speak, and finally gave up.She had no choice but to turn to Guo Kang: "Go ahead."

"Okay." Guo Kang couldn't wait for it, so he hurried on.

"When Wang Baobao's troops marched southward, they did not encounter much resistance. Unlike Naha's Mongolian miscellaneous cards, his subordinates were armed by landlords in Henan, and their combat effectiveness was very reliable. Therefore, King Koryo was soon forced to surrender and rebuild the The East Conquest Province established in the era of the ancestors."

"Past performance proves that Wang's Koryo regime has no loyalty to the court, and when it comes to critical moments, it reveals its true colors. Therefore, Wang Baobao symbolically wrote a letter to Yuan Zhaozong, requesting that the Koryo king be deposed and another person be elected as the leader. Let's go After a process, it will be passed.”

"At that time, there were many people who took refuge in Wang Baobao, and one of the most active people was Li Chenggui, a Korean official whose ancestors had a long history in Shuangcheng Mansion."

"Li Chenggui's ancestor, Li Anshe, was originally a Goryeo official. Later, because he competed with others for official prostitutes, his reputation was ruined. He couldn't get along in the local area, so he had to hide in the frontier. When the Mongols came, Li Anshe led the crowd to surrender early. Offering the female relatives of the clan, he gained the trust of the Mongols and was appointed as a thousand households. When the great-grandfather Li Xingli moved to Shuangcheng Prefecture, he was promoted to Daluhuachi in that place, and became the main local leader, and has flourished since then."

"The Li family has a close relationship with the Yuan Dynasty. Li Chenggui's grandfather, Boyan Timur, and father, Ulus Buhua, had already taken Mongolian names. But at this time, the rule of the Yuan Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, so Ulus Buhua turned around again. Instead, he took refuge with the King of Koryo. With him as an internal response, the Koryo army captured the Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion and expelled the Yuan Dynasty management agency."

"But Wang Baobao's troops actually fought back, which exceeded the expectations of the Goryeo court. There was an uproar, and troops were hurriedly prepared to resist. At the critical moment, Li Chenggui seized the opportunity, turned back in time again, and led his troops to surrender to Wang Baobao. Because of this As a demonstration, he was also retained and got a chance to be promoted."

"Of course, this kind of person really can't be reassured. Therefore, while rectifying the local officials and placing his subordinates, Wang Baobao continued to wander eastward, preparing to crusade against Japan."
