Chastity Layman

Chapter 1300 Turning against each other

If Lu Song cannot be linked to the Central Plains, even if he can continue to do business with the Haidong and Hainan countries while playing on his own, it will be miserable.

Qin Lang didn't intend to do everything. He used his own resources and technological advantages to develop some competitive high-quality industries as his fists, such as mining and smelting, minting coins, or whaling to make wax, or logging and shipbuilding.

Qin Lang does not intend to touch other industries such as silk weaving for the time being, as he has neither industrial nor technological advantages. It must be impossible to handle the places of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

But you can engage in entrepot trade.

Sugarcane planting, sugar production, cotton planting, and cotton weaving, etc., Qin Lang thought it could be done.

Of course tea, porcelain, and salt can also be produced, but it is difficult to have any industrial advantages, so it is not bad to be based on self-sufficiency.

In the future, Qin Lang may slowly transfer over the glass and perfume industries of the Qin family.

As long as there are one or two fist technology industries in hand, it is actually enough for Luzon's long-term development.

On this side of the Central Plains, Qin Lang is no longer interested. His mind is full of Luzon now. This treasure land is waiting to be developed, and it can be used freely. The future is limitless.

Take a tram all the way to the Danjiang Reservoir. From a distance, it looks like a sea, with clear water and blue sky, so beautiful.

I deliberately stopped at the reservoir to rest for a few days. Taking a horse-drawn carriage is similar to taking a train.

However, the scenery here is good, and it is actually very good to come down to exercise your muscles, go fishing, and have a picnic.

These days, the fish are basically wild, and the fish in the Danjiang Reservoir are even more delicious, without any earthy smell. Although they are not as good as the red scales of Mount Tai, they are almost the same.

After playing in the Danjiang Reservoir for a few days, he simply changed to a boat and sailed directly to Xiangyang.

"Sanlang, the court is fighting with Silla."

As soon as he entered Xiangyang, someone came to welcome him and reported him the latest news.

"Fighted with Silla?"

Qin Lang was a little surprised. Su Dingfang was not a person who didn't understand the overall situation. Now that the imperial court has destroyed Baekje, the first enemy is still Goguryeo, and then quickly pacified Baekje.

At this time, Silla, who just sent tens of thousands of troops to assist the Tang Dynasty in attacking Baekje, is still an ally, so why did they fight?

"I remember that the new king of Silla, Jin Shengman, was very grateful after accepting the canonization of the envoy sent by the imperial court. He even made a statement saying that he had ordered all the subjects of Silla to change into Chinese clothes and sent rich tributes. Why did he suddenly Fight?"

It turned out that although Silla had always been very submissive to the Tang Dynasty, it was just a strategy of long-distance friendship and short-term attack. At the beginning of Zhenguan, Silla was almost beaten by Japanese, Baekje, and Goguryeo in turn. It had no friends, and life was quite rough.

Originally, Silla had previously formed an alliance with Baekje to deal with Goguryeo. As a result, the Silla people were jealous of the fertile land in the Han River basin that Baekje had captured, and immediately turned their backs and sent troops. When Baekje was weak after the war, they robbed the Han River basin. This can be regarded as completely offending Baekje.

Although the king of Baekje refused to accept it and led troops to fight, he was beheaded by even the king of Silla. Baekje's strength was weak, but Baekje simply collapsed, and at the same time paid tribute to Japan and the Central Plains in exchange for support. .

He even took the initiative to reach a settlement with Goguryeo, just to concentrate on dealing with Silla.

As for the Wa country, after the alliance with Baekje, it can naturally land on the peninsula and compete with Silla for the Renna area. Goguryeo also goes south from time to time to fight Silla.

So at the beginning of Zhenguan, Silla was indeed besieged on all sides, and had no choice but to hope that the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains could send troops to Goguryeo to help him contain the pressure from the north so that he could concentrate on continuing to fight Baekje.

This strategy is still good. Datang did go to Goguryeo, and he didn't want to do it. He even went directly across the sea to destroy Baekje.

However, Tang destroyed Baekje, which was not in the interests of Silla people.

They don't even want Tang to destroy Goguryeo. What they expect is that the Tang Dynasty, like the Sui Dynasty, would die with Goguryeo in Liaodong, and then lose both, so that Goguryeo could no longer threaten Silla, and even Silla could tear off a few more pieces of flesh from Goguryeo.

If Tang destroyed Goguryeo, they would have to worry that their distant ally would become a powerful enemy around them.

When Baekje was destroyed, the people of Silla were actually terrified.

Jin Yuxin, a real power faction in the court, firmly believed that the Tang Dynasty would destroy Goguryeo in the next step, and then Silla would be destroyed in the next step. This is inevitable. They will not leave Silla alone after destroying Goguryeo and Baekje.

At this time, the Bidam rebellion broke out in Silla, Queen Deman died, and Silla fought again over the issue of heirs.

Jin Yuxin supports his brother-in-law and father-in-law Jin Chunqiu.

As a result, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually canonized Shengman as the new king. You know, when Deman sent Chunqiu to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, he was actually discussing with Li Shimin about the successor of Silla, and Li Shimin basically agreed with Chunqiu.

But now the emperor Li Yin ignored the tacit agreement made before, and directly established Shengman.

What made Jin Yuxin and others even more dissatisfied was that Tang Tianzi directly set Baekje as an economically controlled state and county, and wanted to engage in immigration, even if he was unwilling to rule.

This made Jin Yuxin and others believe that the Tang Dynasty would definitely send troops to Silla in the future.

At this critical time, Li Yin sent an eunuch to Baekje as a military supervisor.

The emperor asked Su Dingfang to lead the army northward, and was responsible for sweeping all parts of Baekje north of the Ungjin River. After completing the mission, he stationed troops on the Han River line, ready to cross the river and invade Goguryeo at any time.

As for the hometown of Baekje south of the Xiongjin River, the emperor handed it over to his deputy Wang Wendu.

After Wang Wendu received the decree, he immediately sent people to see Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu, and asked them to withdraw from Baekje and hand over more than 20 cities including Baekje's Seoul city that they captured earlier to the Tang army.

Jin Chunqiu sent people to see Wang Wendu, and said that these cities used to belong to Silla, and now that the Silla army has recovered them, they should belong to the Silla Kingdom. At the same time, he also asked Wang Wendu to defect to Baekje in the early years and help the Baekje people break Daye City. Maochi, the Silla traitor who killed his daughter and son-in-law, and the two Qianri thieves were handed over to Silla for disposal.

But this request was rejected by Wang Wendu. The reason was that when the Tang army attacked Baekje, the two had secretly surrendered to the Tang army and offered the city to surrender.

Wang Wendu also reprimanded the Silla envoys and asked them to go back and tell the two Jin Chunqiu, ordering Silla to immediately hand over the occupied Baekje city, otherwise Datang would wipe out Silla.

He also issued a food and grass task to Silla, asking Silla to provide 2,000 vehicles and 30,000 rice for the Tang army.

After receiving this reply, Jin Chunqiu, who was still hesitant at first, angrily decided to fight Datang together with Jin Yuxin. His daughter was secretly killed by those two traitors. He once swore to the sky that he would avenge his daughter in this life.

Moreover, Queen Deman had reached a tacit agreement with Tang Taizong and supported him to succeed to the throne, but now she did this, which completely disappointed Jin Chunqiu.

He refused to hand over the more than 20 cities he occupied, and sent people around to contact the local generals of Baekje, Hao Qiang, secretly inciting them to fight against Tang.

Under the secret instigation of Jin Yuxin and Jin Chunqiu, and even the support of providing food, grass and equipment, the counties and states in the south of Baekje quickly ignited the fighting spirit of resistance.

Jin Yuxin even pretended to enter Doului City, swore an alliance with the generals of Baekje, and acted as their military advisor. Baekje cities, assisting in defense, pretending to be Baekje soldiers.

When things got to this point, Silla was determined to turn against Tang.

But Jin Chunqiu at this time is not a king after all.

The newly enthroned Jin Shengman, the Noble Council and the White Council ordered Jin Chunqiu and Jin Yuxin to obey the will of the Tang Dynasty, hand over the city, and allocate food and grass to help the Tang Dynasty, and sent troops to help sweep Baekje.

As a result, the Wang Ling was passed down, but Jin Chunqiu ignored it at all.

He directly returned to Jincheng, the capital of the kingdom, with 30,000 soldiers and horses. Taking advantage of his achievements and prestige, he took control of the capital city and the imperial court without bloodshed, and actually seized control of Silla.

Jin Chunqiu sits in Wangcheng, and let Jin Yuxin unite Baekje on the front line to fight against Tang Dynasty. Although he has not publicly played the banner of opposing Tang Dynasty, he is using Baekje people to call for the restoration of the country to fight against Tang Dynasty.

For more than 20 cities including Liren, Jin Chunqiu also asked the Silla defenders to change to the Baekje banner, falsely claiming that all the cities were captured by the Baekje people.

As for food, grass, equipment, etc., it is also inferred that the traffic was blocked by the Baekje people, anyway, it is all kinds of evasion.

Silla asked Silla to send troops to assist in the crusade against the rest of Baekje, but Silla only agreed but did not send troops.

Wang Wendu was so angry that he beheaded a Silla envoy, and asked his followers to take the envoy's head back. He warned Silla, accused them of breaking the contract, and threatened that he would not transport grain and grass and send troops for conscription. He would personally lead the troops to Xinluo. Luo asked the crime.

Immediately afterwards, on the court side, Li Yin was obviously very dissatisfied with Silla's behavior.

So he made a decree.

Set up Jilin Governor's Mansion in Silla, granted Silla King Jin Shengman as the governor of Jilin Prefecture, and called Jin Chunqiu into the court.

At this time, in the southern part of the peninsula, the Tang and Luo armies have changed from allies to alienation, and Baekje, with the support of Jin Chunqiu and Jin Yuxin, has become more united. The slogan of restoring the country is loud, not only sticking to the city, but even starting to attack Wang Wendu's Tang Jun.

Of course, Datang is not stupid. By now, the changes in Silla have been ascertained.

Li Yin was furious in the court, and directly ordered Jin Renwen, the progeny Jin Chunqiu stayed in Luoyang, to be imprisoned. , rebelling against the Tang Dynasty and other crimes, and then ordered Wang Wendu to lead his troops to crusade against Silla.

"Wang Wendu took command to attack Silla? Why not Su Dingfang?"

"The sage asked Su Shuai to go north to cooperate with Li Ji to destroy Goguryeo, and Wang Wendu was responsible for the task of flattening Baekje and seeking Silla."

Hearing this, Qin Lang couldn't help shaking his head.

It is estimated that in Luoyang Palace, Li Yin was still complacent. The islanders in Silla were too impatient, and Datang easily made them jump up and turn around, and they happened to be wiped out together.

But looking at his deployment, Qin Lang felt that he underestimated the enemy too much.

In any case, Baekje was destroyed in name, but he did not engage in restraints and directly opened up the map, which made Baekje now a mud pit. At this time, the north was still fighting Goguryeo, and drove Silla to the opposite side to become an enemy. It is to be enemies with the three countries on the peninsula.

Datang's strength is indeed very strong, but at the same time, it is going to war against the three countries. After all, it is across the sea. It is almost April, and it will soon be the rainy season in summer. It is not easy to fight, and it is not convenient to transport food, grass and luggage.

Even if they can win, it is estimated that many unnecessary casualties will be added for nothing this time.

How could this battle be fought like this, Li Shimin managed to accumulate such a small amount of wealth, and he just squandered it like this. The strategists of Li Shimin's generation were very cautious when they conquered Goguryeo in person, and they did not dare to be self-willed.

Blind Kiba fucks up.

Don't make it like in history again, taking Baekje and Goguryeo with great difficulty, but in the end Silla was cheaper. Although the current situation is not as good as in history, when Li Shimin was in power, he punched and kicked the Turks and kicked Tie Le, and Tubo was cramped and skinned as soon as he raised his head, and the Western Turks were now dismembered.

Ordinarily, there should be nothing that could threaten Datang's power, and Datang would not rush to deploy troops from Liaodong, so that Silla could take advantage of it.

But some things are hard to say, just like when Yang Guang conquered the Liao Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty in the seventh year of the great cause, didn't the four sides surrender?

This emperor is still acting so aggressively.

I thought that he had calmed down after being a prisoner of the country for a few years.

But yes, if it wasn't for the fact that his nature hadn't changed, he wouldn't have succeeded as soon as he succeeded, so he rushed to force Gu Ming's chief assistant away.

Duo Duo is Yang Guang again.

"Silla is really stupid. Originally, he made great contributions to conquering Baekje, and the court rewarded him casually, which was generous enough, but Yelang was arrogant and dared to bark at Datang. Isn't this courting death?"

"The imperial court has issued an order to blockade Silla and prohibit trade with Silla."

Listening to the manager's relaxed and even ironic words, Qin Lang also knew that this might be the view of most people on Silla's rebellion.

So at this time, when Li Yin took action against Silla, most people felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Little Silla dared to bully Datang?

Of course it was shot directly.

Isn't a small Silla, like Baekje, destroyed in one battle?

When Qin Lang heard that the imperial court had issued an order to blockade Silla and prohibit trade with Silla, his head ached.

First Goguryeo, then Baekje, and now Silla, the trade in Haidong almost disappeared at once. For Luzon, which has just started, the trade turmoil brought about by this kind of regional war is really serious. is too big.

This means that Luzon will lose an important trade market.

The Qin family has just won a piece of land in Zhuzi, Japan, and is building a free port in the concession. This free port is not only for the country of Japan, but also for business on the Korean Peninsula.

Now the entire peninsula is fighting, and the imperial court prohibits trade. This is a big blow to the Qin family's Tangjin Free Port.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

Fortunately, Wa Kingdom was smart this time and was not involved, otherwise Qin Lang's investment would have been in vain.

Thinking of this, he didn't have the heart to watch the flowers and scenery all the way, and decided that the female relatives would go slowly according to the original schedule, and he rushed back to Luzon first.
