Chapter 835: Cutting the weed requires eradicating the roots
Historically speaking, the existence of the Wang family in Korea is a big historical joke.
Originally, according to the historical law that the Central Plains dynasties must be united and divided after a long period of time, the next unified dynasty will definitely launch another attack on Wang's Korea because of the name of the country. The cruel and cruel approach is not only to destroy the country, but also to assimilate and genocide.
Great war.
Because the word Goguryeo or Goryeo in East Asia represents a challenge to the Central Plains dynasty, mainly Henan and Shaanxi, a challenge to seize the cultural center.
But the historical development is very clear. The Northern Song Dynasty did not complete its historical mission, and the Khitan and Liao Kingdom did not care whether the country in the south was called Goguryeo or Silla.
The sequelae of this situation is that thousands of years later, the word "Goguryeo" has become a thorn in the hearts of the people of the great dynasty.
Dung beetles are not lethal, but they are disgusting enough.
If in this era, the Wang Jian family who dared to claim to be descendants of Goryeo could be punished by being pushed into the mud and completely destroyed, how could there be so many things in later generations.
People in this era may not have much feeling for this disgusting piece of shit. They only think it is a bit provocative for someone to dare to call it Gao Li.
But Zhang Hao understands how disgusting this country's title will be in a thousand years.
So before Murong Nobunaga led his army southward, Zhang Gao had told Murong Nobunaga about this.
In Murong Nobunaga's mind, as long as it was something arranged by Zhang Yan, it could not be completed. It had to be overfulfilled by 200%.
Therefore, the first thing Murong Nobunaga did after entering the capital was not to take stock of the treasury or go to Changdeok Palace to see how many beauties there were, nor was it to appease the people.
Instead, they arrested all members of the Wang family, the Goryeo royal family, and ordered Chen Sirang to assist Wang Pu in interrogating them in detail.
The key to the torture is where did the Wang family come from?
Of course, Murong Nobunaga had arranged this answer a long time ago, that is, the Wang Jian family must be the Lelang Wang family of the former Northern Dynasties powerful family.
Because although the Lelang Wang family seems to have little reputation in the Central Plains, except for Queen Mingde, who gave birth to a son named Yuwentai.
But in fact, the influence and blood of the Lelang Wang family spread throughout Liaodong, the peninsula and the Japanese country, which was very terrifying.
After the descendants of the Lelang Wang family became a wealthy family in the Northern Dynasties, or even before, they separated into several branches and migrated to various places. The Silla, Baekje Wang family, and the Japanese Seobun family are all descendants of the Lelang Wang family.
.
There are even rumors that there are many Jurchens with the blood of the Lelang Wang family. The Jurchen Wanyan was transliterated from the Chinese character "wang" to various ethnic groups in Liaodong, and then translated into Chinese again.
It can be said that after the four Han counties were lost, the Lelang Wang family’s signature was the deepest legacy of Central Plains culture on the peninsula, and even the Goguryeo people could not erase it.
There was a reason why Murong Nobunaga had to let the Wang Jian family admit this regardless of whether they were the Lelang Wang family or not.
Only by defining their family as descendants of the Lelang Wang family can this war of conquest be isolated from ordinary peninsula people.
What are you looking at? I have nothing to do with you to deal with the disobedient tribesmen, just continue to farm and fish and become a pariah.
Facts have proved that the Jinyi guards are becoming more and more professional in the field of torture.
Murong Nobunaga didn't have many bodyguards in brocade robes around him, but it took less than three days for the Wang clan members to fully confess their crimes under the punishment of the tiger bench and the soybean irrigation road.
They were certain and certain that they were descendants of the Lelang Wang family and not descendants of Goguryeo!
After getting this handle, Murong Nobunaga detained all the Goryeo nobles who had opened the capital and scolded them furiously.
Especially among them, the Yu family, that is, the Yu Jing family and the Huangfu family who died in the war, and a number of others who were of Han descent, were even trembling on the ground after being sprayed by Murong Nobun and did not dare to raise their heads.
Wang Zhao, the King of Goryeo, looked as if he had been cramped, completely devoid of human appearance. I am sure, no matter who had been hungry for three days, he would look like this.
Murong Nobunaga waved his hand in disgust and was about to have someone pull him down when Wang Pu came forward immediately.
"Your Majesty, the Wang family, as descendants of the Lelang Wang family, not only betrayed their ancestors, but also practiced endogamy within the clan, corrupting human relations. They are like animals. Please be careful, Your Majesty."
Murong Nobunaga was really surprised. The so-called endogamy is not just marriage within the family, but also marriage between close relatives or even direct blood relatives.
Wang Pu continued to speak loudly: "I have found out that the queen of Wang Zhao, Huangfu, is his half-sister.
Mrs. Lin from Qinghe Palace is the daughter of his elder brother Wang Wu and his niece."
For a moment, the whole place was in an uproar.
At this time, Wang's Goryeo had not yet popularized Confucianism to the peninsula, and human ethics and etiquette had not yet been taken seriously by the peninsula people at this time.
Endogamy was even regarded by the Goryeo royal family as the only way to maintain power, preventing other wealthy families from following suit.
In this peninsula where motherhood determines the identity and power of children, every noble daughter with status and blood is a precious resource.
For example, Wang Zhao's wife Lin from Qinghe Palace is the granddaughter of Lin Xi, a wealthy family in Zhenzhou.
At that time, Wang Zhao's brothers were forced by the powerful minister Wang Gui. Wang Zhao's elder brother Wang Wu married his daughter Lin, who was also Wang Zhao's niece, to Wang Zhao in order to strengthen Wang Zhao's strength.
Sure enough, after learning that her granddaughter had become Wang Zhao's concubine, the Lin family in Zhenzhou began to support Wang Zhao and became one of the biggest pillars behind Wang Zhao. It was an important guarantee that he would not be murdered by Wang Gui.
Historically, the endogamy of the King of Goryeo became more and more elaborate, and eventually more than half of the kings were the product of incest marriages.
Jing Zong, Cheng Zong and other parents were all brothers and sisters, Dai Zong and Wang Xu were even the remnants of the adultery between their niece and uncle.
It has to be a flower for you guys to play with!
Oh no! The Emperor's Royal Family of Japan and the Chen Dynasty of Vietnam also practiced endogamy, and they were both 'masters'.
In fact, endogamy was quite common in the early tribes. Even before following Zhang Yan, Murong Nobunaga was not so sensitive to endogamy.
However, after following Zhang Xi, he continued to learn the knowledge of the Central Plains, and coupled with Zhang Xi's words and deeds, he immediately changed Murong Nobunaga's thinking.
After all, I, Saint Zhang, come from a later generation. Not to mention the endogamy of brothers and sisters, even my cousins couldn’t accept it, so they forcibly ordered it to be strictly prohibited.
Murong Nobunaga grew up around such people, how could he not be disgusted with endogamy?
Therefore, when Murong Nobunaga heard about the outrageous endogamy of the Wang family, he felt that his views were shattered.
He angrily stepped down from his seat, suppressed his nausea and kicked Wang Zhao in the chest, who was about to starve to death, and then ordered loudly:
"The whole Wang family has turned their backs on their ancestors, considered thieves as their fathers, and ignored human relations. They have committed such beastly behavior. We must not condone it. If you continue to do so, I will punish you severely."
Murong Nobunaga did not announce how to deal with it on the spot because he suddenly saw Wang Pu slowly shaking his head.
Therefore, King Murong, who was now extremely cunning, immediately pretended to be angry and retreated to the back hall.
Sure enough, Wang Pu followed him after a while. Before Murong Nobunaga could ask, Wang Pu said directly:
"Your Majesty, I see that the emperors and ministers of Goryeo are all shameless people. When we entered the city, we were so humiliated that not many of them rose up to resist. It is obvious that they just want to survive.
If they all kneel down so shamelessly, we will definitely not have enough land to place our heroes, and the conquest of the Japanese country will definitely be delayed."
Since Wang Pu arrived in Goryeo, his energy and energy were completely different from those in Liao.
Because before going south, Wang Pu thought that Goryeo must be as barbaric as the Qingtang Plateau or the desert-filled Mobei.
But now I look at it, oh, it’s pretty good! Although it’s definitely not as good as the Central Plains, it’s not a wilderness, so I immediately settled down and wasn’t going to go back to the Central Plains, and was ready to follow Murong Nobunaga.
Murong Nobunaga and Wang Pu have been emperors and ministers for many years, so they naturally know what their number one think tank is thinking, "What do you mean, Uncle Wen, why not force them to rebel now?"
Wang Pu nodded, "This time Datong Hou Silang led the navy to arrive very quickly and blocked most of the Goryeo wealthy ministers in Kaijing City.
They don't object fiercely now, just because they want to worry about their own lives. In the future, they will definitely oppose us if we relax a little bit.
Rather than causing trouble in the future, it is better to act harshly now. These people are currently in Kaijing, and if they want to rebel, they can only think of leaving the city and returning to their places.
We can pretend to be more careless and wait for them to leave the city, then send people to chase them in different directions, then level the place, or even let them organize the team and then kill them."
In fact, the Zhou army's occupation of Kaijing City was not strict, because the people in the city were all locals, and the Zhou army officers and soldiers could not even distinguish the southeast, northwest, and north after leaving the city.
Therefore, a large number of people have fled out of the city through overt and covert channels these days. Those who are not leaving now are just because the target is too big.
Murong Nobunaga thought for a moment and agreed to Wang Pu's plan. Indeed, rather than appease, it would be better to kill quickly and directly.
On June 24, after more than 40 days, Zhao Yanjin led the Jinghae Armed Forces to successfully reach the outside of Ganghwa Bay with more than 10,000 soldiers, sailors and hundreds of large and small ships.
As a result, the military strength under Murong Nobunaga's command was greatly increased. Counting sailors and civilians, the number of available personnel was close to 150,000.
But what followed was extremely tight logistical pressure. If we didn’t reduce the number of mouths to eat, we simply couldn’t satisfy ourselves by transporting them from Andong.
So the day after Zhao Yanjin arrived, that is, June 25, a horrifying news began to spread.
People say that King Murong deeply hated the many endogamous Goryeo people, and was ready to kill all the royal families who practiced endogamy, and also wanted to kill all the people born from endogamy.
After a day of panic, even more terrifying news came!
This time not only the endogamous people will be killed, but also the cousins who are married, even those who have supported it and have endogamous family members will not be spared.
On June 27, Murong Nobunaga added fuel to the fire to this matter.
King Murong issued an order at Shouchang Palace, believing that Wang Jian, the founding king of Goryeo, recognized a thief as his father, which was contrary to human ethics, and ordered people to destroy the mausoleum, Shinto, temple, etc. of Wang Jian's mausoleum.
Later, he deposed all the temple names and posthumous titles of Wang Jian, demoted the king's title to the title of negative enhou, and planned to ask the court for the posthumous title Youqian for Wang Jian.
These two posthumous titles are not fun to play with. They violate etiquette and chaos, which is called Youyou, and they violate the laws of the country.
This is extremely insulting. When Wang Jian founded the country, he was promoted by wealthy families from various places. Among Wang Jian's twenty-nine concubines, only two were not from wealthy families in various places, and the rest were all daughters of wealthy families.
It can be said that Wang Jian's twenty-five father-in-laws are all the top wealthy families in Goryeo, and none of them has been left behind.
Their relationship with the Wang family in Korea is so close, and Wang Jian has become a ungrateful Marquis of Yougan, can these wealthy families still benefit?
So under Murong Nobunaga's intentional persecution and feigned negligence, war broke out again in various places in Goryeo that had been stable for less than ten days.
On the fourth day of July, seven powerful families including Hong Cheng, the leader of the Hongzhou wealthy family, Wang Shuang, the wealthy family of Guangzhou, and the Jin family of the Qingzhou wealthy family gathered 30,000 troops, claiming to be one hundred thousand, and launched an attack in Icheon County. The army gathered from all sides to attack Suwon.
At the same time, the Ming clan of Zhenzhou and the Ping clan of Gyeongju revolted in Chungju. Naju (Gwangju), Andong mansion (Fusan, Ulsan generation) and officials from various places in Shaanzhou, which were not occupied by the Zhou Dynasty, also sent troops to support.
Guangzhou in Goryeo was equivalent to Seoul and surrounding satellite cities in later generations.
As a result, to be precise, most of South Korea, including Seoul, Gwangju, Fusan, Ulsan, and Cheongju, has started to move.
Murong Xin was overjoyed and immediately sent troops to quell the rebellion. On the eighth day of July, Hong Cheng and others, who had been attacking Shuizhou for a long time, were raided by Zhao Kuangyin himself at the foot of Shuizhou City.
Previously, most of Goryeo's military force was sent to Pyongyang by Wang Zhao. Most of the soldiers recruited by Hong Cheng were farmers and ordinary citizens, and they did not have much armor. They could not withstand Zhao Kuangyin's raid.
After reluctantly carrying it for more than an hour, Hong Cheng's 30,000 peasant soldiers, who claimed to be a 100,000-strong army, immediately collapsed.
Hong Cheng and Wang Shuang were both killed by the formation. Only a few thousand of the 30,000-strong army survived. More than 10,000 were killed by the formation and more than 10,000 were captured.
On the second day, Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to attack Lichuan County and captured Lichuan County in just half a day.
After finishing the rebellion, the Zhou army carried out bloody revenge in more than a dozen states and counties under the Mu rule of Guangzhou.
More than 900 members of the Hong family in Hongzhou were killed. The Wang family in Guangzhou, a branch of the Wang family in Silla, was even worse. More than 3,000 people were killed, and the Han River was dyed red with blood.
On the tenth day of July, Murong Yanchao and Zhao Siwan broke through Haiyang County in Luozhou, which was Guangzhou where Quan Xiaojiang fought hard. However, the rules of the game at this time were much more cruel than when Quan Xiaojiang was there.
After capturing Haiyang County, Murong Yanchao allowed Zhao Siwan and his beggars to loot everywhere. All those who had participated in the resistance before, whether they were wealthy or civilians, were killed.
The total number of residents of Haiyang County and its surrounding defeated soldiers was more than 40,000, and less than half survived in the end.
On July 15th, Gao Song guided Zhao Yanjin and Chen Hui to Andongfu in Goryeo.
Chen Huixian defeated Andongfu's fleet at sea, burned more than a hundred of Goryeo's last naval warships, and killed thousands of people.
Zhao Yanjin and Chen Hui then attacked separately, and finally blocked the more than 20,000 people left behind by Goryeo Andong in Micheng County on the bank of the Nakdong River.
After a great battle, the more than 20,000 soldiers who were finally organized in Goryeo suffered heavy casualties. More than 2,000 people were killed by the formation, and countless people jumped into the Nakdong River and drowned.
At this point, all the resistance forces of the Goryeo regular army were eliminated in just one month.
