Chapter 900 The Turks are fighting back!(1/2)
In the second year of Yuanyou in the Song Dynasty, the third year of Da'an in the Liao Dynasty, the September 14th month, Tian'an Festival.
Liao, Nanjing.
It was already decorated with lights, red and green, and a festive atmosphere.
To celebrate the Holy Day, the Liao lord issued an edict one month in advance to exempt all taxes from the scholars, civil and civil servants in Nanjing this year, and were granted to the civil and military officials in the South Court and the North Court of Nanjing. There were differences in silk and silk in the silk of the nobles.
At the same time, the edict was issued to the Southern Court and the Military Prefecture of the Northern Court. The registered people were divided into wine, meat, firewood and rice.
To express the grace of the emperor and to celebrate the Holy Day of the emperor.
no way!
Yelu Hongji feels so happy!
If you feel good, you have to throw coins!
We must let everyone know that he, Yelu Hongji, is the saint of the Great Liao Dynasty. His achievements are from his father and grandfather, and he has been chasing the Emperor of the Holy Sect!
The Great Liao Dynasty continued to move towards new victories under his rule!
And the fact is indeed the case-
When he fought in the east, he looked down on his great-grandfather, the great-grandfather of Haidong, which had suffered setbacks, was now beaten by him and could only cry and shout, and constantly send envoys to beg for peace.
Since the beginning of this year, near Kaijing, the Liao army has won seven battles and seven victories in field battles.
The Goryeo army was scared from then on, and no one dared to support Kaijing since August.
The Goryeo defenders who opened the capital were unable to withstand thirst. It was said that all the food, grass and water in the city had been eaten up.
Therefore, the king of the country, Wang Yun, sent envoys to seek reconciliation from July.
The attitude is constantly softening.
At the beginning, they said, "I wish to help the Emperor of Daliao every year, 50,000 taels of silver and 20,000 pieces of cloth and silk, and to send the Prince of Goryeo to the court to ask Daliao to withdraw his troops."
Regarding this, Yelu Hongji only said one word: Get out!
He had all appointed his heir, the Grand Grandson of the Great Liao, as the King of Korea, and informed the people of the world that Liu Hongji conquered Goryeo in order to regain his hometown.
Whose homeland?
The four counties of Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu, Emperor Shizong of the Han Dynasty!
Why did you build your country on the land of my ancestors?
You should reflect!
Not to mention, the conditions proposed by the Goryeo make people laugh.
Every year, 50,000 taels of silver and 20,000 pieces of silk cloth, do you want the Great Liao to give up the hometown of the ancestors?
Pooh!
Not to mention Yelu Hongji, even the Han civil servants around Yelu Yanxi decisively rejected it.
These people praised the Liao lord for publicly saying that they were Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and even planned to restore the wise decision of Liu.
Flattery is a gift one by one.
After the Koreans hit this nail, they couldn't beat it on the battlefield, so they gave up that unrealistic idea.
I sent another envoy to beg for mercy, but the annual tribute remained unchanged in the new conditions for begging for peace.
But the request to [will beg for gold and silver to redeem the earth] was added.
This is to spend money to exchange for Liao Kingdom for withdrawal.
Yelu Hongji still sneered at these conditions.
How much money can the island barbarians (the Liao people’s despicable name for Goryeo) have?
Wang Yun scraped the land in Qingzhou, can he scrape out a million coins?
So, he still refused directly.
But the Koreans are still tirelessly asking for peace.
Now, today I am here to invite peace again - Goryeo sent his assistant to the government to the court, and brought new conditions for peace.
The annual tribute increased to 80,000 taels of silver and 30,000 pieces of silk cloth per year.
At the same time, I no longer say anything about dreams like "begging for gold and silver to redeem the land."
Instead, he "please open the Datong River outside the capital as the boundary", and at the same time promised that as long as the Liao Lord allowed it.
Then this year, the tribute will be presented immediately, and the prince will be sent to the Liao Kingdom immediately, and will be the chief minister for generations to come.
This is a little more meaningful.
But……
After seeing these conditions, Yelu Hongji immediately reacted - you island barbarians are really funny!
First, I built my country on the homeland of my ancestors.
Now he actually said that he should provide my money to me?
Are you brain ill?!
If you destroy you, will your land, population and wealth be mine?
However, Yelu Dilie, the Grand Master of the Liao Dynasty, suggested that he be "right to be invited by the island barbarians."
Because, the Goryeo Peninsula will soon begin to winter.
The winter on the peninsula is too cold and the army cannot move at all.
So it would be better to coax the Goryeo people first, sign a peace agreement, and put it into the pocket.
Wait until the spring is about to start next year, and then find a way to tear down the peace agreement.
This idea made Yelu Hongji very moved, but he did not agree immediately.
Because he needs to pay attention to international viewing.
At the same time, this matter also involves credibility issues.
It’s nothing to break the trust of Goryeo - by then, all the Wang family members will die, and no one will protest.
Isn’t it that what Yelu Hongji said is what he is?
But, the women were watching Bohai next to him.
At the same time, the little emperor from the Southern Dynasty was also watching - this was what he was most worried about.
In the Song and Liao dynasties, he still wanted to continue to expand the trade, continue to purchase a large number of merchants from the Southern Dynasties to feed the nobles of the country and unite the front line to block the Bu, Bohai, and female tribes.
Once the Southern Dynasty becomes suspicious of his credibility, what should I do if I refuse to expand the scale of Jiaozi trade next year?
Is it just relying on the annual amount of three million yuan?
Yelu Hongji, who has enjoyed the benefits and pleasure of the big money, is reluctant to return to the first year of Da'an. He has to tightly calculate the wealth in his hands even after celebrating his birthday.
So, this proposal was put on hold.
In addition to Goryeo, the Great Liao Navy also crossed the sea to Japan under the mercy of the [loyal ministers and filial sons], and raised the banner of [restoring and destroying the country, and succeeding the peerless], with the goal of [expelling the treacherous ministers and traitors of Fujiwara], and finally realized the great power of Japan.
Such a just act was warmly welcomed by all over Japan.
After the Great Liao Kings landed in Jiuzhou, the people welcomed each other sincerely, and there was a scene of vitality everywhere and everything was in full bloom!
Therefore, not only in Japan, there were "righteous men" responding to the royal army and raising troops to revolt.
Even the leaders of all ethnic groups in Japan who had been persecuted by the powerful Fujiwara clan for a long time were shed tears, contacting the Daliao King's Army, crying about their tragic experiences, and asking the Daliao Emperor to uphold justice for them.
During this Tian'an Festival, the so-called "Abe" and "Qingyuan" leaders of the Emirate were invited to pay homage and offered tribute.
Under the intimidating power of the Great Liao Kings Division.
On this Tianan Festival, all countries from all over the world came to pay tribute.
The Bubu, Xixia, the Female and Zhizuo tribes, all of these past frequent visitors gathered in Nanjing.
There were also Goryeo and Japanese envoys who cried and shouted in the inn every day, wanting to see him.
Even the envoys of the two Uighurs (Black Khan) Khan from the Western Regions came to pay homage to him.
In the letter of the country, he looked up and said, "The Uighur Khan bowed his head and then worshiped the great uncle of the Liao Dynasty", which made Yelu Hongji feel quite comfortable and proud.
Because the Uighurs in the Western Regions were really bleeding from the Yelu family, and they were his relatives!
In the first year of Taiping of Emperor Shengzong of Liao (1021), Emperor Shengzong married his niece, Kesun, and the black khan prince (Western people called Chashu, the son of Kadir Khan, and recorded this incident in Afghanistan, corresponding to the history of Liao.). A few years later, the Uighur Khan sent an envoy to inform that the Princess of the Great Liao had given birth to a prince.
This proves that the blood of the Yelu family in the Great Liao Dynasty was indeed flowing in the Uighur Khans.
These Uighurs are all his nephews!
Therefore, Yelu Hongji was very kind to these Uighur envoys.
After learning that they were coming to court, they immediately ordered people to entertain themselves with the courtesy of the state guests.
Especially the mission of the Western Uighur Khan, Yelu Hongji demanded to be regarded as a relative of the country.
