"What are you waiting for?" Lan
Jin Mingde leaned over to listen to the interpreter and couldn't help but shake his head: "In the previous documents of the Shang Dynasty, it was said that your envoy was coming in a hurry, and our country should arrange a reception as soon as possible! It is a long way from here to Kaijing. If our country's The king and the current King Cui have been waiting for a long time, which is not good!"
At this point, he couldn't help but said: "Does the envoy of the Shangguo know that Cui Xiang of our country just came to the throne last year? The three great ministers of the Three Han Dynasties, Jin Ziguanglu, and the Grand Master of the Shangzhu Kingdom have great power and power. Wealth and honor are unprecedented in the homes of human ministers since the beginning of the world!"
The few words he said before were taught by Cui Junwen, but this sentence was what he wanted to say.
It turns out that the early period when Cui Zhongxian, the powerful minister of Goryeo, came to power was during the Cheng'an reign of Emperor Zhangzong of the Jin Dynasty.
In the previous decades, the powerful ministers of Goryeo's military class had changed like a revolving door. Everyone regarded the King of Goryeo as a puppet and frequently dismissed him. After these warriors established a new king, they often took the initiative to ask for canonization in the Kingdom of Jin to confirm their legal status in the country and to prove the rationality of the warriors' governance.
However, the Kingdom of Jin would naturally suspect that its new king was not in the right position, so it sent envoys many times to investigate the replacement of the King of Goryeo. The ruling military officials used deception and concealment to get through. The problem is that it often happens that the previous king finally gets through, and a new generation of military ministers rises, kills the predecessor, and dethrones the king again. As a result, the envoys investigating the accession of the previous king had just returned to Zhongdu, and the situation in Goryeo was turned upside down again.
When Emperor Zhangzong of Dajin came to power, this situation immediately made Emperor Zhangzong dissatisfied. Zhang Zong was well versed in Confucianism and attached great importance to the order of monarchs and ministers. He severely suppressed the Wanyan clan's noble Qi Zongwang in the court. How could he like such a powerful official from a small and borderline country? Lan
At that time, Cui Zhongxian killed the previous military chief, and then deposed three consecutive Goryeo kings. Because Dai Jin's position was clear, he simply did not mourn or abdicate to the sovereign state. Therefore, Dai Jin did not send envoys to offer sacrifices or condolences. This kind of behavior is used to express distaste for the arrogant behavior of powerful ministers.
Daikin's attitude naturally caused some trouble for Cui Zhongxian. However, in the past few years, Dajin's own military and political affairs were in ruins, and wars everywhere were in chaos, especially the control of the northeastern hinterland was greatly weakened. The kings and ministers of Goryeo saw this and did not care so much about the attitude of the Kingdom of Jin.
Jin Mingde was a first-class loyal person around Cui Zhongxian. At this moment, he couldn't help but promote the majesty of his master. He just wanted to tell the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin that you must not underestimate the methods of our powerful ministers of Goryeo.
It's a pity that his majestic words fell into Li Yun's ears like a chicken talking to a duck.
The interpreter was not familiar with how to translate Goryeo official positions into Han Chinese language, so he had a hard time translating this long list of official positions. In the end, he just sweated and said: "In short, this General Jin's boss, Mr. Cui, is now the top official." What a powerful person!"
Can the powerful figures in the Goryeo Kingdom be as powerful as my Marshal Guo?
Li Yun was too lazy to discuss the official positions of powerful ministers with him, and only repeated: "I have something to do here, please wait a moment."
As soon as the interpreter finished narrating, Jin Mingde felt that this envoy from the Jin Kingdom was as good at pretending as the previous officials from the Jin Kingdom. He immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife and spurred his horse forward two steps. The Baiqi behind him also moved forward to intimidate.
But at this moment, he heard the sentries sent by his side to look out on the high slopes to scream in surprise. He heard the ground shaking slightly. He heard that they were staying outside the water curve on the slopes, waiting for him to take the envoys from the country. Cui Junwen, who was "inviting", shouted in panic and led the remaining cavalry all the way back into the valley.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Jin Mingde asked repeatedly.
Smoke and dust were everywhere in Zheng Nai, and the horses were neighing wildly. The elite cavalry of his Longwu Army were actually very elite. At this moment, there were still people dismounting their horses and diving into the bushes. How could anyone care to answer them?
Jin Mingde only felt that there must be huge omissions in his family's understanding of the Jin Kingdom, or his family's understanding of the envoy, but he couldn't care about that at the moment. He gritted his teeth and prepared to go up and restrain the envoy. A perfect plan. Anyway, the prime minister said that he wanted to show the Jurchens how powerful they are!
This guy's expression ranged from fierce to panic, from panic to ferocious, all fell into Li Yun's eyes.
Li Yun leaned on the felt blanket, raised his hand, and used his sleeves to wave away the smoke and dust in front of him. Lan
He is no longer the young man who was easily killed in Zhigu Village three years ago, and he rarely encounters the scene where he was chased by the yellow-headed Jurchen that day.
During the entire process of Ding Haijun's rise, many generals defeated the enemy on the battlefield and gained great reputations. Compared with them, Li Yun, who was slightly weak, had always kept a much lower profile. But in fact, this young man also rose rapidly with the rise of Ding Haijun. His courage and methods have been tempered in the past few years. His growth is just like the growth of Guo Ning and the growth of many young people under Guo Ning.
In Guo Ning's Marshal's Mansion, this right-hand man is responsible for controlling the exchanges between the military government and various ministries in the northeastern hinterland. He controls the most important financial resources of the entire military government and controls a considerable number of soldiers. From a certain perspective, Li Yun is even more important and powerful than his brother, Li Ting, the military commander of the Ying Navy.
Therefore, when Li Yun saw the growing malice in Jin Mingde's eyes, he was not shaken at all.
That kind of forced ferocity made him want to laugh a little to be honest.
"Blow the trumpet! Tell them to hurry up! The Koreans are here to greet us. I'm in a hurry." He said to the attendants beside him.
The attendant took out a horn and blew it, and with the sound of the horn, the sound of horse hooves from the north got closer and closer, and no less than dozens of cavalry teams poured down from the entire high slope on the north side of the valley. Lan
They were all savages from various tribes in the northeastern hinterland. They came from the Jurchens of Huosuguan, Huangtou Jurchens, Huligai people, Shiwei people, Tieli people, Mohe people and many other types. There were about a hundred tribes.
While the Goryeo cavalry cowered in fear, these savages were shouting and shouting with great pride. They seemed to be participating in some important occasion. Each knight was covered in bright fur and decorated with colorful stones on his head and neck. Many people also have huge gold rings hanging on their ears, showing that they are leaders or clan leaders in their tribes.
Many of these leaders were wearing helmets used by Ding Navy soldiers, but they were wrapped with tiger skin or the bright tail feathers of birds two or three feet long to make them more eye-catching; some were also wearing Ding Navy helmets. A fine straight knife was waved in his hand.
The knights riding at the front and dressed most majesticly all held triangular red flags or silver medals as big as two palms in their hands. The names of their tribes were written in Chinese characters on the flags, while the official positions they held on the silver medals, such as governor, general, and lieutenant, were engraved on them.
They poured into the valley without scruples, squeezing the Koreans into a corner like fallen leaves blown by the wind. Then they all dismounted and bowed respectfully to Li Yun.
Dozens of cavalry, at least a thousand, perhaps nearly two thousand knights, some as thick as tree stumps, some with arms thicker than Li Yun's thighs, all knelt down.
They were noisy when they were riding horses just now, but now they were so quiet and solemn. The only sounds left in the valley were the snoring of horses or the treading of horseshoes. Lan
There were also Koreans who were squeezed on the edge of the woods to the south and were shouting.
Li Yun first waved the interpreter over. Seeing that the interpreter's face turned pale, he smiled and said:
"Go and tell your family master that this is a gathering of the leaders of various ministries in the northeastern hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin. I, the Commander-in-Chief of the Du Marshal's Mansion, and Li Yun, the prosecutor of Qun Mu, are responsible for convening it every three months. Every gathering is held , allowing everyone to meet, share some benefits, resolve some conflicts, and arrange some tasks assigned by the Marshal's Mansion. All of you who come here are good partners and good subordinates of the Marshal's Mansion. You are also good friends of Li Yun, Good brother. It’s safe here. Just look around and don’t be afraid.”
When Li Yun spoke to the interpreter, there were subordinates in his own team who translated Li Yun's Chinese into a language that each department could understand, and shouted loudly.
Many tribal leaders nodded while listening. When Li Yun said "good partner, good subordinate", these wild and untamed but honest guys straightened their upper bodies and nodded proudly. When Li Yun said "good friends, good brothers", they all showed happy smiles.
The interpreter rushed to report it.
Li Yun walked to the crowd where the leaders of various ministries were kneeling and helped dozens of people in the front row up one by one. Half of these people were from tribesmen who worked with the Ding navy to ambush and kill the Mongolian general Jebe. These people also hold military positions in the Dinghai navy. After fighting side by side and fighting against powerful enemies, they have truly become reliable subordinates of the Dinghai navy. Lan
The other half are people whose territory is far away from Gaizhou and Fuzhou, which are actually controlled by Ding Haijun, but in the past two years, they have relied more and more on trade income and are satisfied with the order set by Ding Haijun. At least they all hope to become partners of the military government and never want to be enemies of the military government.
When Li Yun helped them up, he laughed and cursed at some, hugged some forcefully, and sneered at a few people. The people who were scolded were sweating profusely and gesticulating in explanations.
Just as he was explaining a few words, he was suddenly interrupted.
It turned out that the interpreter came back. He found that the savages did not have any ill intentions, and became a little bolder. He actually said to Li Yun with a somewhat reproachful tone: "My master asked, when was this gathering arranged? It concerns the northeastern hinterland. How can we, Korea, How can I not know?"
