Jin Mingde leaned over to listen to the interpreter and couldn't help but shake his head: "In the previous documents of the Shang Dynasty, it was said that your envoy was coming in a hurry and that our country should arrange a reception as soon as possible! The journey from here to Kaijing is very long. If our country's
The king and the current King Cui have been waiting for a long time, which is not good!"
Having said this, he couldn't help but said: "Does the envoy of the Shangguo know that Cui Xiang of our country just came to the throne last year? The three major ministers of the Three Han Dynasty, Jin Ziguanglu, and the Grand Master of the Shangzhu Kingdom have great power and power.
Wealth and honor are unprecedented in the homes of human ministers since the beginning of the world!"
The few words he said before were taught by Cui Junwen, but this sentence was what he wanted to say.
It turns out that the early period when Cui Zhongxian, the powerful minister of Goryeo, came to power was during the Cheng'an reign of Emperor Zhangzong of the Jin Dynasty.
In the previous decades, Goryeo's military ministers were replaced like a revolving door. Everyone regarded the King of Goryeo as a puppet and frequently dethroned him. After establishing a new king, these military ministers often took the initiative to go to the Jin Kingdom to request canonization to confirm their legality in the country.
status, circumstantial evidence of the rationality of the military minister’s governance.
However, the Kingdom of Jin would naturally suspect that its new king was unfairly appointed to the throne, so it sent envoys many times to investigate the replacement of the King of Goryeo. The ruling military ministers used deception and concealment to get through. The problem is that it often happens that the previous king finally succeeded
After getting through the situation, a new generation of military ministers rose up, killed their predecessors, and deposed the king again. As a result, the envoys investigating the accession of the previous king had just returned to Zhongdu, and the situation in Goryeo was turned upside down again.
When Emperor Zhangzong of the Great Jin Dynasty came to the throne, this situation suddenly made Emperor Zhangzong dissatisfied. Zhangzong was well versed in Confucianism and valued the order of monarchs and ministers. He severely suppressed the noble Qi Zongwang of the Wanyan family in the court. How could this happen?
Are you interested in a powerful minister from such a small and humble country?
At that time, Cui Zhongxian killed the previous military chief, and then deposed three consecutive Goryeo kings. Because Dai Jin's position was clear, he simply did not mourn the death of his suzerain country and abdicated. Therefore, Dai Jin did not send envoys and
Condolence envoys use this kind of behavior to express their distaste for the arrogant behavior of powerful ministers.
This attitude of Dai Jin naturally caused some trouble for Cui Zhongxian. However, in the past few years, Dai Jin's own military and political affairs were in ruins, and wars everywhere were in chaos, especially the control of the northeastern hinterland was greatly weakened. The kings and ministers of Goryeo saw this, and they also
The attitude of the Great Jin Kingdom is no longer concerned.
Jin Mingde was a first-class loyal person around Cui Zhongxian. At this moment, he couldn't help but promote the majesty of his master. He just wanted to tell the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin that you should not underestimate the methods of our powerful ministers of Goryeo.
It's a pity that his majestic words fell into Li Yun's ears like a chicken talking to a duck.
The translator was not familiar with how to translate Goryeo official positions into Han Chinese language. He had a hard time translating this long list of official positions. In the end, he just sweated and said: "In short, General Jin's boss Cui Xiangye is now the top official."
What a powerful person!"
Can a powerful person from the Goryeo Kingdom be more powerful than my Marshal Guo?
Li Yun was too lazy to discuss the positions of powerful officials with him, and only repeated: "I have something to do here, please wait a moment."
As soon as the interpreter finished narrating, Jin Mingde felt that this envoy from the Jin Kingdom was as good at pretending as the previous officials from the Jin Kingdom. He immediately pressed the hilt of his knife and rode two steps forward. Hundreds of riders behind him
At the same time, he also threatened forward.
But at this moment, he heard the sentries sent by his side to look out on the high slopes to scream in surprise. He heard the ground shaking slightly. He heard that they were staying outside the water bend on the slopes, waiting for him to take the envoys from the country.
Cui Junwen, who was "inviting", shouted in panic and led the remaining cavalry all the way back into the valley.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Jin Mingde asked repeatedly.
Smoke and dust were everywhere in Zheng Nai, and the horses were neighing wildly. The elite cavalry of his Longwu Army were actually very elite. At this moment, there were still people dismounting their horses and hiding in the bushes. How could anyone care to answer them?
Jin Mingde only felt that there must be huge omissions in his family's understanding of the Jin Kingdom, or his family's understanding of the envoy, but he couldn't care about that at the moment. He gritted his teeth and prepared to go up and restrain the envoy.
It’s a sure-fire plan. Anyway, the prime minister said that he wanted to show the Jurchens some of their abilities!
This guy's expression ranged from ferocious to panic, from panic to ferocious, all fell into Li Yun's eyes.
Li Yun leaned on the felt blanket, raised his hand, and used his sleeves to wave away the smoke and dust in front of him.
He is no longer the young man who was easily killed in Zhigu Village three years ago, and he rarely encounters the scene of being chased by the yellow-headed Jurchen again.
During the entire process of the rise of the Ding Navy, many generals defeated the enemy on the battlefield and gained great reputations. Compared with them, the slightly frail Li Yun has always kept a much lower profile. But in fact, this young man has also grown rapidly with the rise of the Ding Navy.
A rising man. His courage and methods have been tempered in the past few years. His growth is just like the growth of Guo Ning, just like the growth of many young people under Guo Ning.
In Guo Ning's Marshal's Mansion, this right-hand man is responsible for controlling the exchanges between the military government and various ministries in the northeastern hinterland. He controls the most important financial resources of the entire military government and controls a considerable number of soldiers. From a certain perspective, Li Yun even
Compared with his elder brother, Li Ting, the governor of the Ying Navy, was more important and more powerful.
Therefore, when Li Yun saw the growing malice in Jin Mingde's eyes, he was not shaken at all.
That kind of forced ferocity honestly made him want to laugh.
"Blow the trumpet! Tell them to hurry up! The Koreans are coming to welcome you. I'm in a hurry." He said to the attendants beside him.
The attendant took out a horn and blew it, and with the sound of the horn, the sound of horse hooves from the north got closer and closer, and dozens of cavalry teams poured down from the entire high slope on the north side of the valley.
They were all savages from various tribes in the northeastern hinterland, from Hesuguan Jurchens, Huangtou Jurchens, Huligai people, Shiwei people, Tieli people, Mohe people and many other types, approximately a hundred tribes.
While the Goryeo cavalry cowered in fear, these wild men shouted and were very proud. They seemed to be participating in some important occasion. Each knight was covered in bright fur and wore colorful hats on his head and neck.
Stone decoration. Many people also have huge gold rings hanging on their ears, showing their status as leaders or clan leaders in their tribes.
Many of these leaders wear the helmets used by Ding Navy soldiers, but they are wrapped with tiger skin or two or three feet long bird tail feathers to make them more eye-catching; some also wear Ding Navy helmets.
A fine straight knife was held up in his hand and waved.
The knights riding at the front and dressed most majesticly all held triangular red flags or silver medals as big as two palms in their hands. The flags had their tribal names written in Chinese characters, and the silver medals were withered.
What they are thinking about are the official positions they hold, such as governor, general, lieutenant, etc.
They poured into the valley without any scruples, squeezing the Koreans into a corner like fallen leaves blown by the wind. Then they all dismounted in unison and bowed respectfully to Li Yun.
Dozens of cavalry, at least a thousand, perhaps nearly two thousand knights, some as thick as tree stumps, some with arms thicker than Li Yun's thighs, all knelt down.
They were noisy when they were riding horses just now, but now they were so quiet and solemn. The only sounds left in the valley were the snoring of horses or the sound of horse hooves treading the ground.
There were also Koreans who were squeezed on the edge of the woods to the south and were shouting randomly.
Li Yun first waved the interpreter over. Seeing that the interpreter's face turned pale, he smiled and said:
"Go tell your family master that this is a gathering of the leaders of various ministries in the northeastern hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin. I, the Commander-in-Chief of the Marshal's Mansion, and Li Yun, the prosecutor of Qunmu, are responsible for convening the gathering. Every gathering is held once every three months.
, allows everyone to meet, share some benefits, resolve some conflicts, and arrange some tasks assigned by the Marshal's Mansion. All of you who come here are good partners and good subordinates of the Marshal's Mansion. They are also good friends of my Li Yun.
Good brothers, it’s very safe here. Just look around and don’t be afraid.”
When Li Yun spoke to the interpreter, there were subordinates in his own team who translated Li Yun's Chinese into a language that the various ministries could understand and shouted loudly.
Many tribal leaders nodded repeatedly while listening. When Li Yun said "good partner, good subordinate", these wild and untamable but honest guys straightened their upper bodies and nodded proudly. When Li Yun said
To "good friends and good brothers", they all showed happy smiles.
The interpreter rushed to report it.
And Li Yun walked to the crowd where the leaders of various ministries were kneeling, and helped up the dozens of people in the front row one by one. Half of these people were from the tribesmen who collaborated with the Ding Navy to ambush and kill the Mongolian general Jebe.
.These people also hold military positions in the Dinghai Navy. After fighting side by side and fighting against powerful enemies, they have truly become reliable subordinates of the Dinghai Navy.
The other half, although their territory is far away from Gaizhou and Fuzhou, which are actually controlled by Ding Haijun, they have become more and more dependent on trade income in the past two years, and they are satisfied with the order set by Ding Haijun. They at least hope to become the military government
A partner who never wants to be an enemy of the military government.
When Li Yun helped them up, he laughed and cursed at some people, hugged some people forcefully, and sneered at a few people and asked questions. The people who were scolded were sweating profusely and gesticulating to explain.
I was just explaining a few words when I was suddenly interrupted.
It turned out that the interpreter came back. He found that the savages did not have any ill intentions, and became a little bolder. He actually said to Li Yun with a somewhat reproachful tone: "My master asked, when was this gathering arranged?"
How can we, the Goryeo Kingdom, not know about the mainland of Guandongbei?"
