Chapter 537 Finale (4)

In late September of the fourth year of Jingde, the Goryeo Kingdom was destroyed.

First, Sun Quanzhao rushed to the shore with more than 20,000 soldiers and infantry, killed all the Goryeo soldiers outside the city, and then attacked the city. At this time, Goryeo Quan Prime Minister Jin Zhiyang suddenly betrayed the Goryeo Kingdom and ordered his confidants to open a city gate. The Song army quickly entered the capital.

In the evening, all the soldiers, nobles and royal families who were rebelling in the capital were shot or captured under the leadership of Jin Zhiyang.

The next day, Jin Zhiyang did a controversial thing, killing Wang Suo and his royal family, and then changing the country's name to Silla.

Why did Song Jiu discuss this for a long time. According to Li Di's opinion, he brought Wang Jing back to the capital. One reason was that the Song Dynasty captured another emperor, and the other was that he could also constrain Jin Zhiyang in the future.

However, in the end, Song Jiu decided to execute Wang sue.

The first one is that he has prestige when he is alive, which may lead to a strong resistance force.

He gave an example. After the Tang Dynasty pacified Goguryeo, the people of Goguryeo kept resisting, the Tang Dynasty had to move Goguryeo, most of the wealthy families and hundreds of thousands of people to various parts of the Central Plains.

However, the resistance continued to continue. Of course, some of them were caused by Silla. So Emperor Gaozong of Tang issued an edict to ask King Gaozang of Goguryeo to bring some migrants back to Liaodong. However, when he arrived in Anton, Gaozang became rebellious and luckily noticed it in advance and summoned him back.

There is another person, Li Jipang.

Don’t say that the court is not confused, as long as you continue to follow the Tang Dynasty’s methods, you will continue to be confused.

Therefore, Jin Zhiyang was accused of killing the royal family and those treaties.

The first article is bounded by the middle and lower reaches of the Datong River and the Gaima Plateau, and is defined as the national borders of the two countries. The north of the Datong River, including Pyongyang and the Gaima Plateau, are the territory of the Song Dynasty. The south is the territory of Silla.

Maybe the people of Gaoli felt very wronged, but Song Jiu felt even more wronged. Even if it was based on the territory of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms, it would at least be placed on the north side of Kaijing.

However, in order to quickly end the war and to explain to Jin Zhiyang to his subjects in the future, he had to make such concessions.

The second one, Jin Zhiyang liked it very much. Once the war sank and the boundaries were divided, Song Jiu would ask the officers and soldiers to cooperate with him and forcibly drive all the people in Jiangbei, Datong to Jiangnan.

This measure will allow Jin Zhiyang to gain more population. But Song Jiu was also forced to make this bad decision. It is impossible to comfort him on the spot. Will you be honest in the future if you expect Jin Zhiyang to be honest? Maybe the story of the Tang Dynasty will be staged again. If you place it in the northeast, the consequences may be more serious. If you place it in the Central Plains, don’t waste a lot of financial resources, you will go down soon. Maybe in the future, for the sake of friendship between the two countries, Zhao Heng sent the people back.

In the future, the Jiangbei of Datong will be a deserted place except for the barracks for a long time. But Song Jiu firmly believed that it would not take long, and here would flourish again. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Fujian Road, because there is a way out. The tragedy of drowning his own children rarely happens again. There is no land, no land, no home, but there is still a large area of ​​land in the distant south that allows their children to survive and have a way out. Why do you still have to drown your own children?

Song Jiu even secretly gave the bank a secret transfer business and paid some handling fees. He got money in the South China Sea and could send it back to his hometown. There were many aspects of the Song Dynasty that Song Jiu was not used to. But it was almost impeccable in internal governance. After all, this was in ancient times!

I believe there is no harm to the Liao Kingdom. In a few years, the country will be more prosperous and the population will be denser, so people will spontaneously migrate to Liaodong and to the Yalu River.

Article 3 is also a mutually beneficial condition. In the future, Goryeo gave up five ports to allow Song Dynasty maritime merchants to serve as transit stations, but the tax must be consistent with the Song Dynasty's maritime merchants. How did the Song Dynasty impose taxes on the Goryeo people there? Goryeo people can impose taxes on the Song Dynasty here, but they cannot be higher than the Song Dynasty's tax rate. They can only impose transaction taxes. When there is no transaction, they will not be extorted. At the same time, they will send officials to each other, and if there is any dispute, they will negotiate and resolve them together. As reciprocity, the Song Dynasty also moved some post houses in the five major maritime merchants in Youzhou, Mizhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and let Silla station officials stationed in Silla to negotiate and resolve the disputes between Silla merchants in the Song Dynasty.

Article 4 If there are people on both sides who go to the other country to work or study, conduct business, or other situations, the local government must issue a certificate before the other party can receive it, otherwise it will be severely punished.

This is to prevent both parties from sending scouts to inquire or instigate the opponent.

The Goryeo people took advantage, but the Northeast was not stable, and Song Jiu did not want to have many troubles in the future.

Article 5: The Song Dynasty could send troops to unify all areas south of Datongjiang for the Jin Zhiyang, but to unify the Later Jin Zhiyang must express his sincerity to the Song Dynasty. This is what Jin Zhiyang needs the most, otherwise, relying on him, what ability can he have to unify?

However, another one was added later. After the Song Dynasty, a batch of copper coins and Jiaozi were transferred every year and allowed to be circulated to Silla as the quasi-currency of Silla.

Goryeo is even more short of money, and with money, the country can be more prosperous.

However, the Song Dynasty also lacked coins, so the circulation of copper coins and Jiaozi was strictly controlled.

This problem is not big. The mining industry in the Song Dynasty gradually developed, and the volume of various metal courses increased year by year. Many minerals were even found overseas. Song Jiu did not participate, but some maritime merchants found it, including the rich iron ore in Oceania.

Moreover, with the guidance of Song Jiu, gold and silver were circulating to the Song Dynasty, and there was a small amount of Jiaozi cooperation. In a few years, the currency would gradually become less nervous. As long as the currency problem could be solved, Song Jiu also longed for the Song Dynasty's currency as the world's quasi-currency, which was also an impact.

It should be said that except for the territory that made Jin Zhiyang feel a little uncomfortable, the other Song dynasties made concessions.

This is also Song Jiu's psychology. He quickly ended his military use. Once he ended his military use, there would be no trouble or subsequent wars, so he took the initiative to make some concessions.

In addition, Song Jiu also "tailored" for Jin Zhiyang throughout the whole process, including this time he became king.

Two options are: one is to be king slowly, accumulate grain, and the other is to be king quickly. Song Jiu chose the latter one.

First, let some confused people in Goryeo find their new master as soon as possible, second, quickly identify opposition forces and concentrate their forces to attack them. The Song Dynasty could send troops, but not fall into a quagmire war or a protracted war. Third, quickly split Goryeo so that it could annihilate the main army in northern Goryeo.

But it's not that easy.

As October began, Kang Zhao asked for help from Wang Sue, but the news came. It was said that the Song army launched a sudden invasion from the sea and Jin Zhiyang rebelled and proclaimed himself as the King of Silla. He was stunned.

The descendants of the Wang family were not only in the capital, but also in other places. He immediately found Wang Fu, a descendant of the Wang family, and established himself as the new king, and divided the heavy troops to go south.

However, as soon as he divided his troops, the Song army was at the city.

The powerful officials in other parts of Goryeo kept learning from Kangzhao and supported their agents. Within just one month, six or seven new Goryeo emperors appeared, and then attacked the rebel Jin Zhiyang. However, except for the part of the troops assigned by Kangzhao, everyone else was shouting slogans. How to attack? At this time, tens of thousands of Song troops were gathered in Kaijing, and a large amount of food and supplies were transported from the sea. Even if they sent them to them, they might not be able to see them.

Sure enough, Kang Zhao's army had just passed Datong River. It was Jin Zhiyang's army who united with the Song army to defeat it.

Kang Zhao was very bitter and depressed, so he waited for winter to come.

When the weather is cold, the Song army withdrew, and the army can go south and decide the world in one fell swoop.

But he was wrong again. At this time, the Song Dynasty was different from the Tang Dynasty. If it were the Tang Dynasty, would Song Jiu spend so much effort? The battle had already started.

It's also different from the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin conquered Goryeo twice. They were afraid of the severe cold and had to retreat in the end.

However, what winter clothes did Tang Jun wear at that time? A piece of veggie is stuffed with three or two kapok wool. That is winter clothes.

At this time, Song Jun was wearing an authentic cotton coat.

Some even had good conditions at home and began to wear new down jackets and wool sweaters. With these clothes, the Song army was enough to move in the northern part of the Outer Xing'anling in winter without fighting.

The battle is fine. When the late winter comes, the Song army only defends and avoids the large-scale sacrifice of field battles due to clumsiness.

This is the same as supporting Jin Zhiyang, which is to achieve strategic goals at the lowest cost.

Kang Zhao united some forces, but sacrificed countless subordinates throughout the winter and only captured a few city passes. On the contrary, seeing that his attack power was not strong, and in the heavy snow, many powerful men and the old city lord of Goryeo sent envoys to express their sincerity to Jin Zhiyang.

Before we knew it, spring came.

For Kang Zhao, this was not good news. So he decided to withdraw his troops from the Yalu River and attack and open up Beijing with all his strength.

However, after a winter, the situation has long been completely different.

The Song army first took down the so-called Tokyo, and the Koryo country was divided. Thousands of soldiers in the north were unintentional to fight and surrendered, asking Song Jiu to send him to mining.

Then some troops were sent to slowly move south.

Most tribes surrendered to Goryeo and could not fight together. They chose several typical examples to suppress them in a discerning manner. Over the past two years, the ingredients were seen together. But they could not be taken seriously, such as Nanzhao who was also loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and after the strength was strong, everything was different.

I can only say that it is slightly supported by some loyal tribes. The land reform is too radical and will cause riots. However, differentiation is still the main theme of governing the north.

Joining these tribes, suppressing several typical tribes, and even two tribes were exterminated. Spring came, and the situation of the Gaima Plateau and Changbai Mountain was completely reversed. Most tribes expressed their support to the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, what should we do? Or can we surrender to Kang Zhao, Kang Guang represent Goryeo, or surrender to Jin Zhiyang, what is the difference between surrendering to the Song Dynasty?

Kang Zhao is retreating.

The Song army divided up and rushed down from the Gama Plateau, blocked Kangzhao's army in the Jingrong County Basin. Then the Song Dynasty pursued soldiers arrived. Jin Zhiyang personally led the Xinxinluo army to attack. The three armies attacked each other. Kangzhao's army was defeated. Kangzhao was hacked to death by the rebels, and the puppet emperor was captured alive.

Song Jiu then sent an emperor to the capital, and that was the Wang Gong. He didn't have much use, just a toy and a small collection for Zhao Heng.

Kang Zhao's entire army was wiped out, and more people turned against Jin Zhiyang.

In June, the Song army began to retreat slowly from Kaijing, and then divided the national boundary on the banks of the Datong River. Not only did there be a land border, but also a sea border. It was drawn from Dengzhou to Datong River to form a straight line. It belonged to the Song Dynasty to the north, and to the south, it belonged to all the two halves between Dengzhou and Kaijing. The islands and reefs on the east are Silla, and the islands and reefs on the west are Song Dynasty. This was more beneficial to the Song Dynasty, after all, Dengzhou was extended.

But in this era, who cares about sea power?

Jin Zhiyang laughed and signed the treaty.

Then, the boundary monument was established on the land dividing line, and the Song army began to expel the people. They were a little cruel. Even the people who expressed their loyalty and were willing to stay would forcibly migrate to Jiangnan. Some people who fled from Liaodong asked to stay, but they were not allowed to continue to be second-class citizens.

This has attracted some impeachment voices.

Even Zhao Heng issued an edict to reject Song Jiu's actions, but the people had already moved to nothing at that time, and the edict was issued without any effect.

Maybe he did something wrong, but Song Jiu had no regrets. This was an attempt to solve this problem once and for all. At least there would be no rebellion in the country.

At the end of June, the last batch of Song troops withdrew from Xinxinluo.

But at this time, there were still many separatist forces in Silla, but that was Kim Zhiyang's business. If even this rebellious force could not be suppressed, why did you have any ideas at the beginning?
