After Zhao Yucheng led the team to set off, it was already the end of March in the 31st year of Shaoxing.
As the weather gets warmer and everything revives, Su Yonglin begins to plan the final attack on the Kingdom of Jin.
He ordered the Qilu Corps led by Su Haisheng and the Henan Corps led by Zhang Yuejing to prepare for the war. All needs should be reported to the Zhongdu General Affairs Bureau, which would be responsible for handling and preparing all logistics for them.
At the same time, Su Yonglin sent an order to the Hedong and Henan prefectures to prepare for mobilizing civilian laborers to participate in the logistical transportation of grain and fodder. Regardless of whether it was a memo or a cash payment, the peasantry team must be organized in advance.
And because it is the busy farming season now, all actions need to be started after the busy farming season is over.
At present, spring plowing operations are still the main task.
And at this stall, news came from Liaodong that the Koryo Kingdom was trying to send an envoy to Zhongdu to visit Su Yonglin and ask for Su Yonglin's opinion.
To see or not to see.
Goryeo...
Su Yonglin remembered that the Goryeo Dynasty was a unified dynasty on the Korean Peninsula before the Lee Dynasty, and it had a long history.
It seems that they established a country on the Korean Peninsula during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The royal family's surname was Wang. Later, they were replaced by their own military general Li Chenggui and established the Li family of Korea.
Having said that, there is no substantial difference between Goryeo and Lee's Korea. The foreign policies of the two countries are actually of the same origin.
Internally, Confucianism was used to govern the country, and externally, it pursued magnanimism.
Since the founding of the country, Goryeo has successively claimed vassal status from the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, Northern Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan and other mainland countries.
Because of his small size, remote location, and ardent service to the Central Plains dynasty, he lived a long life. He sent away many regimes that dominated the Central Plains, but he lived to the end.
So for Goryeo, it doesn't matter whether it is orthodox or not, as long as it is the overlord of the Central Plains, it is its father.
Of course, it also has some different thoughts in its heart. It respects the barbarians that it considers unorthodox on the surface, but it doesn't know what it thinks on the inside.
Regarding Goryeo, Su Yonglin has no intention to deal with it at the moment, and has no plans to deal with it now.
Even if they want to take action against Goryeo, it will only happen after the remnants of the Jin Kingdom in Liaodong are completely eliminated and production in Liaodong is restored.
For now, just like Xixia, it is enough to maintain a vassal relationship with Goryeo. Considering the possible role of Goryeo during the construction of Liaodong, Su Yonglin thought briefly and ordered the Liaodong Corps to send people to escort the Goryeo envoys. The delegation came to Zhongdu to meet him.
So Su Yonglin was planning to capture Guanzhong while waiting for the arrival of the Goryeo envoy.
In mid-April, the Korean envoy arrived in Zhongdu.
Yin Linzhan, the envoy of the envoy and the imperial censor, submitted his credentials to Su Yonglin on behalf of King Wang Hui of Goryeo, seeking ways to establish good-neighborly and friendly relations with the Liberation Army regime, and presented a gift from Goryeo to Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin saw that Wang Xi claimed to be the king of Korea in his national certificate and spoke humbly.
Moreover, he mentioned in his credential that he was given the nickname "Little China" by the Song people when he was in contact with the Northern Song Dynasty. He believed that this was the greatest compliment to them, and he used this to get close to Su Yonglin.
He believed that the Liberation Army was the master of Greater China, and Goryeo was willing to be a small China on the frontier and guard the border forever for Greater China.
After seeing it, Su Yonglin felt that they, including the people from Xixia, were all the same. Their attitudes were relatively humble, they could see the situation more clearly, and they were not arrogant.
This attitude is very good. Compared with some island countries that think they can be lawless and arrogant by being alone overseas, they obviously understand the rules of the international game better.
In fact, this is not surprising. Both Xixia and Goryeo are vassal states of the Jin Kingdom. They have established vassal relations with the powerful Jin Kingdom. They have had armed conflicts with them before, so they know how powerful they are.
And Su Yonglin and the Guangfu Army, who hammered the powerful Jin Kingdom to death, were definitely unparalleled macho men and powerful troops.
How could they be so incapable of confronting Su Yonglin and the Liberation Army against such a powerful force?
After all, no one is born wanting to die.
And for Goryeo, all this may be more intuitive.
Previously, the Liaodong Corps swept across the Jin Kingdom's cities in Liaodong. The Jin Army was defeated by the Liberation Army and the Jurchens fled in panic. Some of them were unlucky and were caught and worked as coolies to build Liaodong.
Some were lucky enough to escape capture by the Liberation Army, cross the border between the Jin Kingdom and Koryo - the Thousand Miles of Wall built by Koryo Kingdom, and escape to Koryo Kingdom to ask for asylum.
Since August last year, Jurchens have been constantly crossing the Great Wall to enter the territory of Koryo to seek political asylum in Koryo. As time goes by, more and more such Jurchens have appeared.
In fact, the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo heard about the outbreak of a large-scale rebellion within the Jin Kingdom as early as a year ago. At that time, they thought it was a phased event, but they did not expect that this large-scale rebellion really triggered the decisive result of the change of dynasty.
After some discussion, the kings and ministers of Goryeo felt that it was risky to accept these Jurchens.
Because doing so may cause the displeasure of the Liberation Army.
However, Goryeo itself also lacks a population. These Jurchens who were defeated by the Liberation Army are also a good labor force. If they are included, they can increase the country's labor force and facilitate their exploitation.
So Goryeo decided to keep it secret and set aside a piece of land in the eastern mountainous area to accommodate these Jurchens, so that they could survive on Goryeo land.
Then Goryeo recruited troops from these Jurchens, collected taxes, and used them to defend the Great Wall in that area to reduce its own defense pressure.
Entering October, more and more Jurchen troops and refugees fled to Goryeo for refuge. Goryeo confiscated their weapons, armor, bows and arrows, disarmed them, then took them all as ordered, and settled them in the eastern mountainous area, where they set up Administrative districts are governed.
As more and more Jurchens fled, some civil servants and military officers of the Jin Kingdom fled. Through their descriptions, the Goryeo regime also had a relatively intuitive understanding of the Liberation Army that overthrew the Jin Kingdom.
It is said that the Liberation Army first broke out in Shandong, and then quickly expanded to Hebei and Damingfu. Then with a small number of troops, they went against the will of heaven and defeated the 500,000-strong army commanded by Emperor Wan Yanliang of the Jin Kingdom. They also killed Wan Yanliang. Yan Liang.
After that, the morale of the Liberation Army was high, and they counterattacked to Yanyun. The Jin Kingdom was defeated like a mountain. The Liberation Army quickly broke through Zhongdu, captured all Jin Kingdom clans, and basically destroyed the Jin Kingdom regime. The Jin Kingdom as a whole was no longer in power. exist.
Now that the Liberation Army has replaced the Jin Kingdom as the overlord of the Central Plains, a new Han regime was established, and then began to retaliate against the Jurchen Jin Kingdom regime, entering Liaodong, destroying the Jurchens' hometown, and sweeping Liaodong on a large scale.
Counting the unrecognized pseudo-emperor Wan Yanyong, three emperors of the Jin Kingdom had died at the hands of the Liberation Army.
Although there is still a piece of land in Guanzhong, the Jin Kingdom is only a small distance away from complete destruction. No one will deny it.
When the Korean people listened to the stories of the Liberation Army's rebellion told by the escaped Jin Dynasty civil servants and military officers, they could not help but feel a little frightened, but at the same time they were full of admiration for Su Yonglin and the Liberation Army.
Maximism is the national policy of Goryeo. Whoever is the overlord of the Central Plains is its father. This is the common understanding of the Goryeo ruling group.
Having said that, there is a difference between recognizing the orthodox Han Miao dynasty of China as your father and the barbarian barbarian regime of Liaodong as your father.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Goryeo sent envoys to visit. The Song people saw that the Goryeo people admired Han culture, and their clothes were no different from those of the Han people. Maybe they called them "Little China" out of some admiration.
This title, which was not officially recognized by the Northern Song Dynasty, was solemnly recorded in historical materials by the Korean people.
From then on, Goryeo and later Lee's Joseon always called themselves Little China, feeling that this was a rare honor and they were proud of it.
However, all countries in the East Asian cultural circle know that Chinese culture was mainly created by the Han people, so Chinese culture and Han political power are parallel. The Central Plains political power without the orthodoxy of the Chinese Miao Han family is not worthy of the glorious Chinese culture.
This is a very interesting point, and it is also an important origin that directly affects the future state of the world.
