Chapter 48 Farming Season (5) King of Bohai County
Sun Xiurong's series of actions in the Wei tribes would naturally not be spread to Chang'an during the long winter, but it was spread to the Bohai Kingdom, which now set its capital in Hukhan (Dunhua City later). Da Qinmao, the prince of the Bohai Kingdom, who had already stopped with the Tang Dynasty, became active when he saw Sun Xiurong doing this.
In the era of Dawuyi, the father of Daqinmao, it was because the Bohai Kingdom (when it claimed to be Zhen Kingdom, but in fact it was Sushen Kingdom) who was punished by the Tang Dynasty by arbitrarily attacking the Heishui Governor's Office that surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. The two countries started a war. At that time, Dawuyi once captured Liaodong, where the Andong Protectorate was located, and crossed the sea to attack Dengzhou.
However, in the end, Dawuyi chose to compromise and withdrew from Anton. He knew that he was only a temporary profit and that he would never be an opponent if he continued for a long time, because once he occupied Liaodong, the Tang Dynasty would definitely regard it as a strong enemy like Goguryeo. Whether his Bohai Kingdom can survive is still a question.
So he adopted the strategy of joining the clan and joining the tribe, not only making friends with the Turks, Uighurs, Sillas, and Khitans, but even traveling across the ocean to Japan to show kindness. Of course, in the era of the great martial arts, at the end of the war with the Tang Dynasty, he betrayed the Khitans, and then the Liao and Jin Dynasties became enemies, which is a later story.
After seeing the Great Governor of the Jun tribe attacking Wei Zhumen, Da Qinmao did not hesitate and immediately sent troops to attack Heishui Mohe again.
Change happened again.
In the summer of the third year of Tianbao, the Wei army of Yuque completely conquered the Wei tribes east of the Daxianbei Mountains and migrated them to the west of the Dashan Mountains according to Sun Xiurong's wishes. When Daqinmao attacked the Hei Shui Mart, some of the Hei Shui Mart continued to flee north, while some people migrated to the territory of the former Lingdong Shi Wei, which is the area from Qiqihar to Harbin in later generations.
At this time, in order not to have direct conflict with the Tang Dynasty, the Bohai Kingdom focused on the downstream of the Hei River and the places east of the Ussuri River. After the Hei River Mohe moved, Da Qinmao got what he wanted. He did not attack the Great Governor of the Jun tribe who had moved to the Xinshiwei, but instead managed the area east of the Yalu River. Compared with history, the Bohai Kingdom occupied a vast amount of land earlier.
The Bohai Kingdom is not comparable to ordinary tribes. Today, Daqinmao has 50,000 elite troops, and the political system is completely set up according to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty. The herdsmen, farmers and craftsmen in the country each have their own businesses. After taking over the vast area east of the Ussuri River, they have collected a large number of Heishui Mohe and Sumo Mohe Dingkou that they had not had time to escape, and their strength has increased greatly.
After the destruction of Goguryeo, the Goguryeo people hid everywhere also came out to support the rule of Daqinmao. In addition, the former rebellious Khitan and Silla people, and the prosperity of the Bohai Kingdom was already visible to the naked eye.
Of course, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, a large number of Han soldiers were placed in its old place. During the Wuzhou period, the Yingzhou Governor Zhao Wenyi was extremely cruel, and a large number of Han people in the Andong Protectorate fled to the Bohai Governor's Office (later in Jilin, northern Korea and part of the Russian Far East) to farm. This was the key to the rise of the Bohai Kingdom.
If there were no such Han farmers, how could Dae Jo-young build a city and support a 50,000 army? Although there were some Goguryeo remnants, Han farmers were the most important.
At present, on the large plain with a radius of hundreds of miles centered in Gaoguanchun City, Jilin, there are many Han people and Goguryeo farmers.
After Sun Xiurong took down the Huangtou Shi Wei, Li Simu from Hei Shui Martial Arts took the place with Simu's troops, which is the place near Songyuan City, Jilin Province in later generations. Li Simu did not bring the warriors back to the Shui Martial Arts because he was attacked by Da Qinmao as soon as he returned.
However, migrating the tribe to Huangtou Shiwei and then connecting with Xinshiwei has not disappointed Sun Xiurong's expectations.
Originally, under the pressure of Da Qinmao, Li Simu wanted to move his tribe to Lingxi, but after Sun Xiurong learned about it, he persuaded him to stay where he was. With the support of a powerful sect behind him, there were more and more people from Hei Shui Mo who defected to Li Simu. By the autumn of the third year of Tianbao, Li Simu's sect had expanded to more than 10,000 households and completely occupied the territory of Wei in the east of Ling.
This scene naturally made Da Qinmao unhappy.
But Da Qinmao did not act to attack Li Simu, but continued to stabilize the tribes east of the Ussuri River.
In the late autumn of the third year of Tianbao, Huhan City (called Akdun City in the Qing Dynasty, it was also transformed from the word Huhan, which means Akdun), and Daqinmao, who was only twenty-two years old, met someone.
It cannot be regarded as a "received". In the Honglu Temple Inn in Huhan City, the man met Da Qinmao.
The man was thin, with a little hunched back, a man with a sharp eyes, and was actually An Lushan's brother Shi Siming. He is now the military envoy of the Pinglu Jiedushi. Although Jia Xun is the deputy envoy of Pinglu Jiedushi, no one knows that Shi Siming is the second-in-command in Yingzhou.
This time, Shi Siming brought Yan Zhuang here.
Da Qinmao stayed in the Honglu Temple Inn for a full half day before leaving at dusk.
When he came out, Da Qinmao's face was still smiling, but the general Yang Chengqing, who accompanied him to meet Shi Siming, knew that something was wrong.
Da Qinmao is only 22 years old this year. He admires the culture of the Tang Dynasty and is particularly obsessed with Tang poetry and music. After he came to power, he also has these two talents. For example, Yang Chengqing and Yang Tai are good at poetry, but Zhenmeng is good at music. They are both named generals, and they are also the governor of Dazhou near Huhan City.
Among them, the Yang brothers are all Han, but Zhenmeng is a Goguryeo, and they can all stay in high positions and stay at the Bohai King.
Of course, as a great country with 50,000 victories, Daqinmao naturally has real warriors around him. Wanyan Chengde, a native of his tribe, was one of them. He commanded 10,000 elite infantry cavalry in Huhan City.
Since Daqinmao came to power, the entire Hukhan City has been shrouded in peace. Even Daqinmao himself was content with his own satisfaction when walking on the street, and he would not be surrounded by others because he was the king of a country.
Of course, Da Qinmao is a handsome young man, wearing a Tang suit, a Tang bun, a white ribbon on his hair, and a thick white dress. Walking on the street, no one wants to do the feat of assassination except to arouse the praise of everyone.
In this era, in the Bohai Kingdom, which is still in its inception, all this is naturally an illusion. The Bohai Kingdom, dominated by Sumo, is still a country dominated by fishing and hunting, and revenge between tribes is still common.
When Da Qinmao walked on the street, most of the people on the street were pretended by his guards, only Wanyan Chengde knew about this, and even close ministers like Yang Chengqing and Yizhenmeng did not know about it.
This is how powerful Da Qinmao, who is only twenty-two years old, is.
Whenever Yang Chengqing, who was accompanying him, he naturally couldn't help but sigh "I feel so sad". It seemed that his ideal that he had not realized in the Tang Dynasty had "actually" realized here.
Soon, the group returned to the palace.
After sitting down, Yang Chengqing was already in the middle of the left and right, and a strong man who was almost six feet tall stood behind Da Qinmao with his chest and a knife. This person was naturally Da Qinmao's wife and brother-in-law, and he was the number one warrior of the Bohai Kingdom and the commander of the Imperial Guard of the Capital.
It is said that Wanyan Chengde's original name was Wuyan Ruhu, and was the eldest son of the Wuyan tribe of a small tribe of Sumo. After Da Qinmao came to power, he changed the name of the tribe to Wanyan tribe, and then changed Wuyan Ruhu to Wanyan Chengde.
As soon as they returned to the palace, the king and his ministers were all furious.
Throughout the afternoon, Da Qinmao and Shi Siming met in humiliation. He seemed not to be the king of a great East China Sea country, but a small chief of a wild tribe.
Silenced for a long time.
"King"
Yang Chengqing spoke. He was good at poetry and riding and shooting. He was considered a man of both civil and military affairs in Bohai Kingdom. Therefore, he was the nominal "Magic Marshal of the Military and Horses" in the Bohai Kingdom. He was originally a descendant of the minor official of the Andong Protectorate. After coming to Bohai Kingdom, he suddenly got a high position and naturally wanted to serve the king to the death.
"The Lord is humiliating his minister to die, please allow the prince to die!"
Da Qinmao recovered from his thoughts at this time. When he heard Yang Chengqing's words, he couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, Yang Chengqing, why don't you kill Shi Siming's hunchback when you are in the inn and perform the feat of Lin Xiangru's blood splashing five steps? Isn't it a joke to die now? Okay, let's talk about the countermeasures quickly?"
"Ahem," Yang Chengqing was a little embarrassed, but he was a very powerful minister after all, and he returned to his original state in a flash. Even the Goguryeo people were extremely impressed by this scene and sighed secretly: "It seems that my qi cultivation skills are not as good as Yang Chengqing."
"Your Highness, I think there is still something to do."
"oh?"
"Your Highness, An Lushan, and Shi Siming are all crude and unwilling Hu people in the Western Regions. It is a common practice to annoy the surrounding tribes so that they can benefit from it. They are not only doing this to our Great Bohai Kingdom, but also to deal with Khitan, Xi tribe, and Shi Wei? Therefore, we must not fall into their trap."
"I thought of this section, but I am concerned about another thing Shi Siming said with this hunchback..."
"Let us attack the Heishui Mart who moved to the Wei place in Lingdong Shi? But from a distance, this unit is a tribe under the Heishui Governor's Office, Qinpeng, the Tang Dynasty, and from a near distance, it has defected to the current prestige of the Great Governor of the Jun tribe."
"Besides, in the era of the previous kings, our country first had a good relationship with the Khitan, Turkic, and Silla, and later we hated the Khitans. At present, the two sides were almost irreconcilable. If our country attacked the Hei Shui Moe of the Lingdong Shiwei, the Khitans would most likely hit me sideways. What should we do then?"
Da Qinmao refused to comment, and he turned his attention to Yi Zhenmeng, who had been on mission to Japan and was currently in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the infantry dominated by Goguryeo people, which was not comparable to Yang Chengqing.
Sure enough, Yi Zhenmeng stood up and said, "Although An Lushan and Shi Siming are full of evil deeds, since they came here, they did not fully trust the turtlemen. Not long ago, Hu Shang, who came to purchase ginseng, marten, and pearls every year, once a year, revealed that the turtlemen's great governor, Sun Xiurong, came from the distant Western Regions."
"When he came here, he had suffered a lot of twists and turns along the way. Obviously, the court was doing it for..."
Da Qinmao took over the conversation, "Borrow a knife and kill someone!"
Yi Zhenmeng nodded, "Obviously, this man was born in a Han Chinese, but his ancestors regarded the Khitans as his adoptive father. Speaking of which, this man has some connection with His Highness..."
"oh?"
"Your Highness, during the Wuzhou period, the Khitans Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong rebelled. At that time, the great sage of our country, King Wu Gao, was also entangled by the rebels. In Sun Wanrong's army, Sun Xiurong's Aweng was Sun Wanrong's adopted son. But because he was attached to the rebels, he was afraid of being implicated in the future. The great sage of Ming Wu Gao led his clan members away from Yingzhou and came to the East China Sea area, and thus he had the foundation of the Bohai Kingdom."
(The Great Sage Mingwu Gao, the founder of the Bohai Kingdom, Dae Jo-young)
Da Qinmao's eyes lit up, "So that's it"
In fact, he had known this section long ago.
"So," Yi Zhenmeng continued, "I suggest that because the attack on the Hei Shui Governor's Office had already evil the Tang Dynasty and had a feud with the Khitan, I might as well make friends with the Ministry of Justice, ignore Shi Siming's hunch and watch the changes. If the king made up his mind, killing Shi Siming's guy would not be a big deal."
"Not appropriate", Da Qinmao waved his hand quickly, "How can he act like this? Although Shi Siming's words are dirty, he is a senior official of the Tang Dynasty and the second-ranked figure in the Pinglu Jiedu Mansion. I heard that he is in the same siblings as An Lushan. If he kills this person, An Lushan will definitely raise troops to fight. Although we are not afraid of him, we always miss the first move."
