Chapter 682: Zhang Xian's Hesitation (Part I)

Yang Yizhong was the governor-general, and he deployed manpower and material resources in Hebei, Shanxi, southern Liaoning, and Suiyuan provinces at will.

When he issued the order to join the troops and horses left behind in the local area to join the forward transfer support, the east of Jinzhou City and the sea.

After reading the urgent communication order sent by the Privy Council, Zhang Xian did not immediately give the order to attack.

He turned sideways and looked into the distant sea, which was rippling with waves, and fell into a moment of deep thought.

Goryeo, the "white-clothed people" was originally a branch of China, but after its ancestors left in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it gradually mixed with the indigenous people everywhere and became a new nation.

For that nation, Zhang Xian first learned about it through two stories, the first story is about a long time ago, there lived at the foot of Changbai Mountain a brother and sister who lost their parents when they were young. The two chopped wood, farmed the land, and survived each other.

At that time, the imperial court was tyrannical and oppressed the people; The local officials also took advantage of the plunder, and the villagers were fished and fleshed. It is really a natural and man-made disaster, the people are not happy, and the government chooses beauties every year to worship the sky.

This year, my sister was unfortunately selected by the government and was going to sacrifice to the sky. The younger sister was reluctant to leave her brother, and the elder brother couldn't bear to watch his sister die in vain, but there was no way, so the brother and sister had to flee into the mountains.

The day of worship has passed, and the officers and soldiers surrounded the mountains and forests, searching the mountains for days and days. When the siblings had no way to escape, an old man with a silver beard and white hair gave them two treasures: a white horse and a sword, and told them to flee for their lives.

The villagers were also anxious about the brother and sister, and when they saw the brother and sister riding white horses and holding swords and fighting with the officers and soldiers, they also rushed to help.

Under the leadership of the brother and sister, the officers and soldiers who surrounded the mountain were defeated. rushed into the government again. The granary was opened. The grain was divided. Who knew that it caused a big disaster, and the imperial court heard the news and sent heavy troops to suppress it.

The officers and soldiers killed his sister and the white horse, and then tied up his brother Wuhuada and escorted him back to the village, where he was beheaded for public display. Along the way, my brother walked in the snow against the wind, and his body was drenched in blood. One by one, blood-red footprints are imprinted all over the cliffs and hills.

In the end, the elder brother died in the valley before he could reach home.

Soon, it was on the hill where my brother walked. The land with blood marks is full of strange mountain flowers, and the pink color is full of fragrance.

This flower has a strong temperament and specializes in the cold snow and ice to withstand the wind. Because it occupies the spring glory and is proud, it is loved by the people of Changbai Mountain, especially the Korean compatriots.

People affectionately call this flower "Darlai", and regard it as a messenger of spring. Until now, when people see it, they remember that tragic past.

Therefore, the Korean people regarded Jindalai as a steadfast and tenacious national spirit, and a symbol of beauty, happiness and auspiciousness. Therefore, it is self-evident that the men, women and children of the Korean nationality revere Kim Dalai......

For the official beauty pageant in that story. Zhang Xian is very clear about a truth: legends are legends, and many legends have not really happened.

But at the same time. Zhang Xian is more aware of another real historical event, that is, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, all dynasties of the Central Plains Dynasty actually forced or coerced the Goryeo people to send their noble women to the Central Plains. Either as a concubine or as a concubine.

It was a woman who forcibly married a nobleman, which naturally made the Goryeo people have a feeling of oppression for generations.

Who has no parents, who has no sisters? In other words, if it is their own sisters and relatives, they will be forced to be concubines for generations, and who will not rise up to resist.

Therefore, Emperor Yang of Sui, who likes to forcibly occupy women, has made an expedition to Goryeo, and Li Shimin, who is full of strong god-making flavor, has also expeditioned to Goryeo.

In Zhang Xian's heart, the real cause of those wars will definitely not be purely political reasons, but they must not be separated from political factors.

The fundamental reason is that the emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties all wanted to win over those who lived in the white mountains and black waters all the year round, and were bullied and oppressed by various groups and became very brave and ruthless, so they forced the family to send their princesses to Chang'an.

The emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties wanted to borrow other people's daughters and sisters to trap the Koreans. As a result, it was self-defeating and pushed Goryeo into a hostile camp, so that they had no choice but to pay for their despicable purposes and personal desires at the expense of their troops and money......

"The Jindalee flower should be in full bloom, but Taifu asked me to slaughter those Korean soldiers. Will such a group of stubborn people, who have been suppressed by successive Central Plains dynasties for generations, be so easy to slaughter? Thinking of this, Zhang Xian couldn't help but whisper to himself.

"Why should the general be so worried?" Before Zhang Xian's words fell, a voice came from behind him, making him immediately look back and follow the sound.

"Counselor Li, do you think Taifu's method is really feasible? If the remnants of the Goryeo army are expelled to Liaodong, won't those Goryeo people become a group of stubborn people who resist to the death? Zhang Xian looked at the visitor and asked such a question.

Who is it? He was accompanied by Liu Xing to reorganize the various departments in Jinzhou, and after transferring some people who had military exploits and were headed by Zong Xin, Li Ruoxu was sent by Zong Ze to serve as Zhang Xian's military envoy.

Where is this Li Ruoxu, who can let Zong Ze personally order the general and send him to Zhang Xian as an envoy?

Li Ruoxu was actually not well-known originally, he was only average in learning, but he was good at managing miscellaneous things, and he was originally a civil official from the third grade after several years in the yamen of the household department of Bianjing City.

However, his younger brother is very famous, at least even Liu Xing praises You Jia for his younger brother's character and style.

Who is his brother? His younger brother's name is Li Ruoshui. That Li Ruoshui studied in Taixue in his early years, and served as a Jinshi and later served as a lieutenant of Yuancheng, a secretary of Pingyang Mansion, and a professor in Jinan.

At that time, Huizong was mediocre and incompetent, and the government was controlled by traitors such as Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Yu, and adopted a strategy of compromise and surrender to the increasingly powerful Jin State in the north. The "Lord Peace" faction had the upper hand, and Li Ruoshui was extremely indignant about this, and wrote to the emperor many times that he was sick in the middle of the country, and that Chen Xingguo had a good policy for governing the country.

As soon as Song Qinzong succeeded to the throne in the first year of Jingkang, he immediately crowned Li Ruoshui as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Li Ruoshui was very humble and did not accept the appointment, so Song Qinzong had to appoint him to be the servant of the ministry instead.

In the second year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers invaded the south and the second emperor was captured, and he was humiliated. Li Ruoshui spoke up and angrily reprimanded the prince of Jin Guo for not being faithful. Li Ruoshui is loyal and courageous, and if he wants to buy and retain, he will promise to be a high-ranking official.

At that time, Mu Han said to Li Ruoshui: "Obey me today, and tomorrow you can get more glory and wealth!" ”

Li Ruoshui sternly refused, and Mu Han ordered his servants to comfort Li Ruoshui, saying: "The male parents are high in spring and autumn, if they are less yielding, they hope to return to the pilgrimage!" ”

Li Ruoshui said sharply: "Loyal ministers and ministers, don't take care of your family!" ”

Li Ruoshui was righteous and awe-inspiring, and the scolding was endless, and Mu Han had no choice but to order someone to cut off Li Ruoshui's tongue. Li Ruoshui couldn't scold with his mouth, so he glared angrily and pointed at each other.

As soon as the sticky man saw that he couldn't even speak, he still had himself as an enemy, so he was angry and immediately ordered Li Ruoshui to cut off his eyes, and finally put him to death. (To be continued.) )
