Chapter 1002: A New Era
The next day, the queen of Silla announced in front of the Manchu Dynasty that Silla had officially surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. As soon as the news came out, officials were in an uproar.
This is too unexpected, why did a good country suddenly surrender to the Tang Dynasty? There has been no conflict between the two countries, speaking of which, Datang is still an ally. Therefore, many ministers argued on the spot, hoping that the queen would retract her order.
Unfortunately, the queen of Silla was very resolute, and the ministers' persuasion was fruitless, so she had to be in a hurry. However, a small number of ministers guessed that the queen was probably coerced by the Tang Army by doing so.
Although they don't know exactly what happened in the middle, judging from the queen's resolute surrender to the Tang Dynasty, the process in the middle may not be so wonderful.
What's more, they also received news that the Tang Dynasty had sent a team that had been roaming their territory, and if they were not careful, war might break out, which made these ministers panic.
On the one hand, they don't want to surrender to Datang like this, worrying about their future, on the other hand, they are afraid of starting a war with Datang, with their current strength, I'm afraid that even the five thousand soldiers sent by Datang can't be defeated, let alone fighting with the main force of Datang, it's simply self-destruction!
In the midst of this uneasiness, the ministers chose to remain silent. It is impossible to change the order of the Queen, and the Tang army, which is gradually approaching outside, is not a joke, in this case, what can they do but be silent? Everything is left to fate.
The news of Silla's surrender to the Tang Dynasty quickly spread among the people, and the people of Silla were mixed.
The good thing is that once they have the protection of Datang, they no longer have to be afraid of a terrible war, and the worry is that they don't know what Datang will do to them.
In this half-happy and half-sad atmosphere, the king of Silla ushered in the Tang army.
Chen Fei led his army and accepted the surrender of the Queen of Silla outside the royal capital, promising the queen preferential treatment of her people and helping Silla rebuild after the war. However, the queen herself and members of the royal family need to go to Chang'an to wait for His Majesty's canonization. The officials in Silla remained unchanged for the time being, and when the appointment of the Datang came down, they needed to obey the orders of the Datang and be managed by the Datang.
The Queen of Silla agreed, and the agreement was formally signed. At this point, the Tang Dynasty officially included Silla in its territory, and it did not cost a single soldier. The entire Korean Peninsula is also the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
A month later, Yi Shimin issued an edict to establish the Donghaedo Province on the border of the former Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla provinces, which would be under the direct leadership and management of the imperial court.
The Tang Dynasty wiped out the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo in a sweeping posture and included the Three Kingdoms in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which was of great significance and made Li Shimin happy for several days. The returned soldiers were all praised.
The Sui Dynasty finally put itself into it because of the three expeditions to Goguryeo. And Li Shimin's ability to conquer Goguryeo and other three kingdoms so smoothly doesn't it mean that the Tang Dynasty under his rule has completely surpassed the Sui Dynasty? This has a special meaning for him, and it must be ...... Well, you have to put on a celebration feast to celebrate!
By the time the Tang army returned to the dynasty, it was already two months later, and after the conquest of the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty fell into tranquility again. However, there is one country, after seeing the strength of Datang, sharpened its head and drilled into Datang, and in a year's time, it has sent two groups of "Tang envoys". That's right, it's the neighbor of the Tang Dynasty on the sea, the Wa Kingdom.
I have to say that the little devils of this era still make people feel comfortable, no matter who they see, they are all nodding and smiling, even if you pat the shoes on his face, he will pick them up with a smile and hand them over to you, greeting you with concern: "Was it cool to shoot just now?" Did I hit your hand in the face? If you're not happy, you can shoot it again, it's free. ”
This attitude is really disgusting, because ...... The feeling of slapping the face is so refreshing.
Chen Fei was recently entangled by a group of little devils. Because his reputation is too loud, who else in Datang doesn't know Chen Ji's signboard? Who else doesn't know that many of Chen Ji's things were invented by this big shopkeeper? So Chen Fei became the focus of the little devil's entanglement, squatting at the door of his house all day long, nodding and greeting when he saw him come out, he was not too tired to be a cow or a horse, anyway, he followed you like this, until you were willing to communicate with him.
At first, Chen Fei felt that bullying and bullying the little devils was still very fulfilling, but after being followed by them for two or three days, he also felt unhappy, so he asked Hu Di to take people, and after covering them, he took advantage of the night to beat the little devils and made sure that they couldn't get out of bed for half a month, so they left.
He finally calmed down a little, but the little devil's thing reminded him of it. Now that the little devil has come to Datang to study, it is necessary for him to stop something. For example, the Tang Dynasty envoys were sent to learn advanced culture...... Well, you can take these things away, the art of war, the secret recipe for the manufacture of utensils, you don't have to think too much, you must not pass it on to you!
As a time-traveling person, he knows too well the perverted racial characteristics of the Wa Kingdom, and he is a sinister villain who turns his face and doesn't recognize people. If one day he finds that he can challenge you, he will not hesitate to pounce on you and bite you, and will grovel to you before and ask for it back!
Therefore, for the sake of the national plan of the great Chinese nation thousands of years later, Chen Fei felt that it was necessary to add some blockage to these little devils, if it could not be stopped, it would not be too smooth for the other side!
So for a long time to come, there were often all kinds of farces in the residences of the Japanese people, and they were restless, and the government refused to pay attention to this matter under any order.
After seeing the darkness of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese people suddenly felt that the Tang Dynasty did not seem to be as beautiful as they imagined, and although the life in China was poor, at least they did not have to be angry, so they snorted and cried, full of enthusiasm for the Tang Dynasty...... fled back to China.
can force the little devil who is known for his patience to return to China, Chen Fei's skills are really ...... Getting closer and closer to being exquisite?
Of course, this is just a joke after dinner, in this era, in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, it is not even as important as the small countries in Southeast Asia.
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, when the first snowflakes fell in winter, a bad news came from the court, and Wei Zheng, a famous minister known for accepting advice, died of illness. Li Shimin was deeply saddened and personally erected a monument for Wei Zheng.
The temperament is straightforward and the talent of the country.
This is the most straightforward evaluation of this old minister's life. He comes from the people, knows the sufferings of the people, is not an official for himself, only for the people, although sometimes he offends many people by speaking out, but he does use his words and deeds to truly benefit the people.
If there are officials like this, why should the people be blessed? Why is the world not happy?
Chen Fei went to Wei Zheng's funeral and seriously knelt down in front of the old man's body. When he got up and stepped out of the mourning hall, the dark clouds in the sky had just dispersed, and a ray of sunlight sprinkled on Chen Fei's face, shining incomparably.
The previous generation of Datang has grown old, and the era of the younger generation has just arrived!
