Chapter 146 Becoming King
----------
Wu Dong was stunned. It was normal for Wu Yong to ask him to become the king. "Please familiarize yourself with the domain name." Wu Yong liked to flatter Wu Yong. He would flatter Wu Dong whenever he found an opportunity and praise Wu Dong high. But Gongsun Sheng,
Li Gang is a very rational person, why do they also let themselves become the king?
Gongsun Sheng said: "Grand Governor, we have now occupied the entire Goryeo. Only a king can be worthy of being the lord of Koryo. This is one of them. Secondly, after the Grand Governor becomes king, he can boost morale and enhance unity.
."
The identities of "king" and "general governor" are very different. One is the king of a party, and the other is just a military leader. Ordinary people also have completely different identities for "king" and "general governor". Wu Dong had not been king before, so
It was because the area occupied was too small and too scattered, and becoming king was more like a joke. Moreover, after becoming king at that time, he would definitely not be tolerated by the Koreans, and he would also face attacks from the Koreans. But now, Gongsun Sheng, Li Gang, etc.
Everyone feels that the time has come to claim the throne.
"Let me think about it again," Wu Dong said.
This matter is of great importance, and Wu Dong feels that we should be cautious.
"By the way, has the King of Goryeo's sinner edict been written?" Wu Dong said.
"It's been written down, so I'll ask the Governor to take a look at it," Gongsun Sheng said.
At that moment, Gongsun Sheng handed Wu Dong the sinner's edict written by Wang Mara, and Wu Dong looked at it carefully. The sinner's edict was not to blame Wang Mara himself, but to blame Wang Mara's ancestor Wang Jiande for the country's injustice. Taizu of Goryeo
Wang Jian was originally a general of Later Goguryeo. 200 years ago, Wang Jian usurped the throne and established himself as king. After Mi Group 2, Wang Jian destroyed Silla and Later Baekje, and established the unified Wang family of Goryeo.
In Confucian Neo-Confucianism, usurping the throne by a military general cannot be tolerated, so Wang Maru was asked to write an edict against himself.
Sin Ji's edict also stated that Wang Maru was about to abdicate. Wang Mara was going to give up his position as King of Goryeo to Wu Dong, the Governor of Liangshan, which he called "the abdication".
"This Wang Ma is really obedient." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"This man is extremely cowardly. I originally thought I was going to threaten him, but he immediately started writing and wrote out everything we wanted. By the way, he has one more thing he wants to report to you.
." Gongsun Sheng said.
"What's going on?" Wu Dong said.
There was a smile in Gongsun Sheng's eyes, and he said: "The Governor, he wants to give you two daughters as concubines."
Wu Dong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Tell him, no need!"
Speaking of this, Wu Dong couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He didn't need women. Now Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang, Pan Jinlian and others were already very good. He didn't need other women to come in, but his generals and soldiers
They all need women.
"We now have over 100,000 soldiers... In this Goryeo war, Goryeo men also suffered heavy casualties, and there will be many women left behind. Goryeo women are pretty good-looking, so we can let our soldiers marry Goryeo women.
." Wu Dong secretly said.
If you want to unify Korea, the ethnic issue is a major issue. Wudong has many solutions, but the most basic way is to increase the proportion of Han people here and bring Han people from the Central Plains here, so that there will be more and more Han people here.
When there are more Han people, the foundation of rule will naturally be solid. And if people from Liangshan are allowed to marry Korean women, this can be regarded as a way to increase the proportion of the Han population. As long as someone marries Liangshan, the whole family will be converted to Han nationality.
The total population of Goryeo is only 5 million. Over time, it is not impossible for all of them to become Han Chinese.
The New Year is coming, and many people from Liangshan came to Kaijing, including Li Shishi.
During this period of time, Li Shishi has been handling the civil affairs in Incheon. She handled it in an orderly manner without any mistakes. However, what troubles Li Shishi is that she has no children until now, and she doesn't know what's going on.
Soon after, Hu Sanniang also came to Kaijing City. During this time, Hu Sanniang was worried about suppressing bandits. Although she ordered people to pretend to be rebels and rob ordinary Koreans of food everywhere, the effect was indeed obvious. The number of those rebels was getting smaller and smaller.
However, the remaining rebels are becoming more and more tenacious and difficult to destroy. In Hu Sanniang's view, the suppression of bandits may continue for many days.
On December 25, Hua Rong returned to Kaijing City. The first thing Hua Rong did after returning was to unite with many generals to suggest that Wu Dong be king.
Hua Rong and others represent the military power of Liangshan. They and others are extremely powerful.
Wu Dong is still hesitant. Although he has captured Goryeo, in his opinion, it is still in the initial stage and there is still a long way to go. He still doesn't know what the future system will be like. Do we have to follow the ancient emperors?
Is that the right way to go? Is that a good or bad thing?
On December 27, many low-level officers and soldiers stationed in Goryeo jointly signed a petition asking Wu Dong to become king, but Wu Dong was still hesitant.
On December 28, Dai Zong returned from the Central Plains. During this time, he had been busy in various places, collecting intelligence. He started from Hedong, then passed through Yanyun, and reached the border of Liaodong, and finally came to the Great Wall of Goryeo. From there he came to
Open the capital.
Dai Zong brought letters from Lin Chong and Zhu Wu, and they actually asked Wu Dong to become king.
When things have reached this point, it is obviously impossible to refuse. Otherwise, it will be equivalent to pouring cold water on everyone's heart, which will be detrimental to future careers.
So on December 28, Wu Dong summoned Hua Rong, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others together and said: "Since everyone asked me to be the king, then I will be the king."
Everyone was overjoyed and started to kneel down to Wu Dong, but Wu Dong hurriedly blocked the way and said: "I can claim the title of king, but from now on I will still be treated according to the military etiquette of the Grand Governor."
"This..." Everyone hesitated, but seeing Wu Dong's firm expression, they finally agreed.
"Being king is just another name. Tell me, should it be King of Han, King of Liangshan, or King of Korea?" Wu Dong said with a smile.
"This..." Wu Yong spoke first, saying: "We started from Liangshan, so the chief governor should be called King Liang."
Gongsun Sheng was in favor of being called "King of Han". Wu Dong looked at Hua Rong and said, "Hua Rong, what do you think it should be called?" On the first day of the first lunar month, he was officially crowned king. There were only two or three days left, and everyone
Spend more time making dragon robes, seals and other things. Even if Wu Dong explained that it was just a change of title, the relevant etiquette should not be too little.
"Grand Governor, do you need to invite any guests?" Wu Yong said.
"As for the guests, just the monarchs and ministers from Goryeo. Let them come, Wang Ma, Jin Dongqing, and Li Haoran! Also, invite all the famous gentry in the capital. From now on, they can be regarded as our subjects!"
Wu Dongdao.
