Chapter 1120 Japanese pirates
The Palace of Billionai.
Luo Cheng asked why Anton had a rebellion, and Lao Jia was a little helpless.
"We just received the information. Since Anton disarmament and the camp warriors were converted into garrison battalions, Anton was a little uneasy. First, the Goguryeo remnants of activities became more frequent, and then Baekje and the Japanese were not stable."
"Don't talk nonsense, just talk about why there was a sudden rebellion. There was always a reason." Luo Cheng was not ignorant of the situation in Andong. The previous encirclement and suppression of Goguryeo was already a temporary victory. Later Goguryeo and Later Korea rebelled the courts, from the king to the general, were almost all surrounded and killed.
In the old Goguryeo border, there was no stronghold fortress belonging to the rebels.
Silla and Baekje were also warned by the court and stopped all kinds of small actions. The Qin Dynasty drew a border on the south side of the peninsula and set a boundary monument.
Silla and Baekje both paid tribute to the Qin Dynasty and accepted the canonization.
It was the time for the emperor to dismiss the army and quit the army at this time. In theory, there were no special accidents, and the Baekje rebelled at this time and even brought Japan.
"Actually, this matter is a long story." Old Jia said with a wry smile.
After all, the problem is actually not with the Qin side. Previously, Baekje and Silla, the three countries of the Haidong of Japan paid tribute, and the court had no intention of attacking the Three Kingdoms, and everything was fine.
The Three Kingdoms paid a large amount of local products to the court, and the court also gave many things back. This was a great joy.
The problem lies with the Baekje envoy. After the ambassador returned to China, he was greedy for the benefits of tribute. After returning to China, he immediately lied to the king that the Qin Dynasty asked for more tributes. Originally, the Qin Dynasty said that Baekje could pay more tributes, but this tribute was originally a vassal trade. They traded in the name of tribute and could also exempt tariffs, which was considered a trade discount.
This kind of tribute would not affect Baekje anything at all, but the ambassador was greedy for profit. The Qin Dynasty gave Baekje a lot of benefits. Not only did he confiscate tariffs, but he even collected their tributes higher than the market price, and then gave them back many Central Plains merchants.
But the ambassador, together with other members of the mission, not only brought in a large amount of private goods, but also embezzled most of the commercial goods given back by Daqin, and the result was that Baekje's tribute was a loss.
That's not all. The Baekje missions even falsely spread the will of the Qin Dynasty. They originally asked Baekje to pay tribute to 500 boys and girls, but they asked to pay tribute to 1,000 pounds and 1,000 horses. They agreed that there was no limit on time, but the messenger asked to pay tribute to all within one year.
Such things caused panic in the Baekje government and the people, but the Baekje king did not dare to refuse, so he had to order the people to force the recruitment of girls and boys, to force the recruitment of oxen and horses, and many tributes.
The king ordered the emperor, and many officials took the opportunity to embezzle and extort them layer by layer.
As a result, a mutiny was triggered later.
Some generals in the Baekje court were dissatisfied and secretly contacted each other and launched a mutiny. As a result, the king was abolished and another grandson of the Baekje king Fuyuzhan was appointed as king.
After the mutiny and seized power, the new Baekje court immediately ordered the abolition of the former king's tribute order.
After the mutiny, many Baekje royal family and officials fled to Daifang County. They cried to Xu Shiji about domestic rebellion, etc., and said that the rebels refused to respect the leader of the Qin Dynasty and refused to pay tribute. They also said that they were inhabiting a large number of Goguryeo remnants, regardless of the previous imperial edicts of the Qin Dynasty.
After hearing this, Xu Shiji refused.
As the sect leader, the Qin Dynasty had the obligation to assist the vassals in quelling the rebellion.
Especially the intelligence shows that the new Baekje court did publicly support the remnants of Goguryeo, and also refused to pay tribute to the Qin Dynasty.
In order to maintain regional stability and maintain vassal relations, Xu Shiji issued a conscript order to prepare to enter the Baekje border and prevent it in case.
But his actions made the Baekje rebel court on the opposite side frightened, believing that the Qin army was going to send troops south. These frightened Baekje people simply took the initiative. While arming the Goguryeo remnants, they gave money, food and weapons, and let them enter the Daofang County to harass them, and also sent people to contact Japan.
In order to be able to fight against the Qin Dynasty, the New Baekje King even paid tribute to the Japanese Kingdom.
In the past, Japan had not even completely pacified the islands. The Ekima people in the north often made trouble. Now the Baekje people are willing to be vassal states, and the Japanese are suddenly excited.
In fact, the Japanese have always been looking forward to the Northern Peninsula and hope to enter the island, but Baekje and Shilla are not jealous, and they are very strict in their prevention.
Now that there is a chance to intervene in the peninsula with justification, the Japanese immediately agreed to the request of the new King of Baekje and immediately mobilized and sent troops.
After receiving support from Japan, the Baekje rebelled and the court became even more confident.
Before Xu Shiji could gather, Baekje had already crossed the border and attacked the territory of Daqin's Andong Road.
"The King of Baekje sent Xue Wu and Goguryeo Yu Nie Gao Yanru to lead 10,000 troops to attack the vanguard!"
"Goguryeo Yu's evil sword Mu Cen also established the grandson of Goguryeo's treasure king in Baekje, An Shun, son of Yuan Pure Land, as king, Goguryeo, King Fuyulong of Baekje and Eda's queen, both recognized An Shun as king.
The three kings also formed an offensive and defensive alliance to fight against the Qin Dynasty together.
"Your Majesty, although Japan is in power, it has always been ruled by his nephew Prince Suwomazi and his uncle Suwomazi. The father of Prince Suwoma is the same brother of Emperor Tuogu, and his mother is the half-sister of Emperor Tuogu."
"What kind of messy relationship?" Luo Cheng frowned.
"In fact, it is to put it bluntly that although Japan is now in power, it is actually the rule of Prince Suwomazi and the great nobleman Suwomazi, and Prince Suwomazi are incompatible with each other. Prince Suwomazi sent envoys to the Central Plains Sui Dynasty in his early years to learn the advanced system of the Central Plains. Then he carried out major reforms in Japan, with the purpose of getting rid of the clan system and changing the inherent joint regime of the rich clans into the centralized monarchy system of the Central Plains.
He established the twelve ranks of crowns, made the 17th Constitution, vigorously promoted Buddhism, quoted the allusions and idioms of Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism in the Central Plains. Even the twelve ranks of Confucianism, also quoted the five virtues of Confucianism to distinguish the official ranks. The twelve ranks are the great virtues, small virtues, big benevolences, small benevolences, big rites, big trusts, small righteousness, big righteousness, big wisdom, small wisdom. The crowns and uniforms are distinguished by different colors and their thicknesses such as purple, lilac, blue, light green, red, light red, yellow, light yellow, white, light white, black, gray, and other colors and their thicknesses.
"Is this Prince of Stabledo quite eye-catching?" Luo Chengdao.
"Your Majesty, after the Queen of Thigu ascended the throne, he was the closest person in the empress's bloodline, so he was made the crown prince and then the regent. However, the great nobleman Suwomazi controlled the government for many years, so he wanted to get rid of the control of Suwo family and then learned about the reform of the Central Plains."
Luo Cheng said disdainfully, "Since I am learning from the Central Plains, why do you still have to send troops to join forces with Baekje to fight against Qin?"
"It was Su and Ma Zi who sent troops to rebel against Qin. He had sent troops across the sea to attack Silla several times before, intending to force Silla to pay tribute."
In any case, the current situation is that the rebels of the Baekje mutiny made Prince Fuyulong the new king. Under the strong interference of the ruling Suwomazi, Japan gathered 25,000 troops to attack Qin despite the opposition of the Queen Thigu and the Regent Prince Shengde.
"Where is Silla?" the emperor asked with concern.
"Back to your Majesty, Silla has not moved yet."
Luo Cheng looked at the map of the Three Kingdoms of Haidong in front of him.
"Since the Japanese have sent troops to Silla several times, then Silla and Japan are the great enemies. Now that Japan and the Baekje alliance rebel against Qin, we can bring Silla here."
"Your Majesty, although Baekje united with the Japanese to rebel against Qin, as long as the court sends troops, it will be able to destroy the two thieves. Why win over Silla?"
"It is certainly easy for the court to destroy the two feudals, but the problem is that the court cannot concentrate its efforts on the peninsula to fight such a big battle. I don't have the energy or the remaining energy now. I will bring Silla to control the barbarians. In this way, the court does not need to add additional troops to the peninsula, and it is enough to deal with the situation there. Maybe it can take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Three Kingdoms. If I can pull Silla to destroy Baekje in one fell swoop, it would be even better."
"In this way, I sent someone to tell the King of Silla, who was surnamed Jin, that Silla would send troops to help quell the rebellion. After destroying Baekje and Japan, Japan would return to Silla and Baekje would return to Daqin."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Sillas will not agree. It's not easy to destroy Japan."
"Then promise to defeat Baekje, Daqin and Silla will take half of each."
