Chapter 671: Daegaya
Chapter 671 Great Gaya
Under the impetus of Qin Lang these days, the exiled little monarchs or envoys gathered in Chang'an have slowly gathered together, abandoned their previous suspicions, and are willing to unite and jointly build the Gaya Kingdom to fight against Silla , Baekje and Waguo.
The former Gaya city-states have been divided and united for hundreds of years, but the internal struggles were too fierce, and they were finally divided up under the minions of the three kingdoms of Wa, Silla, and Baekje.
Now Datang hopes that these Gaya city-states will unite under the name of Bianhan and establish a new country Gaya with the support of Datang, a city-state alliance country, and implement a federal system. Each ministries elected a highly respected and capable head of the state as the king of the federation, who was conferred the title of King of the Tang Dynasty by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The heads of the other states will be granted the title of duke of each state by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and the title of Marquis of Datang County.
In general, Qin Lang pointed out a way out for these Gaya city-states, relying on the Tang Dynasty, jointly resisting the Japanese, Baekje, and Silla, and striving for the full restoration of the country.
The united New Gaya Kingdom is equivalent to a feudal federation. A group of feudal lords united together. The king is only the biggest feudal lord. Everyone has their own territory, population and army. system etc.
Originally dozens of Bianhan tribes gathered together to form an alliance.
The purpose of Qin Lang's doing this is mainly to add some chaos to the peninsula. With the full support of Datang, if Gaya can restore the country, these Gayas occupying the central coastal area in the south of the peninsula will undoubtedly be the key points in the four countries of Haidong Insert a nail.
Although some of the Gaya kingdoms have been extinct for decades or even more than a hundred years, after all, they have ruled this area for generations, and their influence and appeal are huge. As long as Tang is willing to support him sincerely, he can still do something. .
Datang will then use the banner of mediation, etc., to support trading companies with some official background such as the Four Seas Company. In the past, they established concessions and commercial houses in the coastal area of Gaya, and even directly occupied some coastal islands to establish colonial strongholds.
Datang has no time to go to Liaodong for the time being, let alone the energy to land on the Korean Peninsula, but not being free now does not mean that he has no ideas, nor does it mean that he does not want to go in the future. Temporarily stable.
So the prime ministers saw Qin Lang's small actions, but none of them said anything, and they all supported him with all their strength, and let him go and do it.
"Under the door: Zhiyue,"
······
"My minister, Jin Yuanli, thanked Emperor Long En, and accepted the edict!" Jin Yuanli, the king of Zhuguo and Bianhan County, and King Gaya, a somewhat tall and burly man, knelt under the political affairs hall to welcome the canonization of the Tang angel.
Beside , there are thirty-six princes of the Gaya Kingdom, witnessing this moment together.
Purple Ribbon Gold Seal, Shangfang Sword.
Jin Yuanli was extremely excited after receiving the edict.
This person was originally a descendant of King Renna Jinguan Gaya. Jinguan Gaya was defeated and annexed by Silla as early as a hundred years ago. He was awarded a high-ranking position, and he took his own country as his food town, and his son was awarded the official role by force.
Kim Gaya, established by Kim Suro, was handed down to the tenth generation of the country and died.
Jin Yuanli is the grandson of Jin Chouheng’s eldest son, Jin Nuzong. Unlike Jin Yuxin, the grandson of Jin Chouheng’s other son, Jin Wuli, who is now a general in Silla, Jin Yuanli’s ancestors and grandchildren have been trying to restore the country for three generations.
The three grandparents have been in exile in any of the countries to resist Silla.
Renna was formerly known as the Bianhan kingdoms. After years of fighting, the kingdoms gradually united together, forming a city-state alliance of more than ten countries centered on Jialuo and Anluo, collectively called Renna.
Later, Silla and Baekje continued to attack Renna, and many city-states were annexed.
Later, the Wa kingdom crossed the sea and conquered Renna, and a large number of Wa people immigrated from the Wa kingdom, lived in Renna, and established the rule over Renna.
The kingdoms of Renna were reduced to the subordinates of the Wa Kingdom and the imperial court. Later, Wa Kingdom ignored Renna's objection and ceded Renna's land to Baekje several times. opportunity.
Since then, Silla has launched a continuous offensive for more than a hundred years, annexing Renna countries one by one, but at this time, Renna still broke out in civil strife, and Jia Luo separated from Renna, which further led to Renna being defeated and annexed by Silla. .
Afterwards, the Wa Kingdom sent troops across the sea to retake the Renna area, but at this time, the Wa Kingdom's rebellion also occurred during the Panjing Rebellion.
Wa sent troops, and since then Wa and Silla have waged a long-term war.
After that, Silla and Baekje allied to attack Goguryeo, and Baekje seized the Han River basin. Silla sent troops to raid Baekje to seize the Han River basin. Attack Silla together.
And Silla turned to the Goguryeo Alliance and counterattacked Baekje.
Afterwards, Silla defeated Baekje, and once directly broke through the capital of Baekje, beheaded the king of Baekje, Baekje was rescued by the Wa Kingdom and moved to the capital, so Baekje did not perish. They were annexed one by one, changed to prefectures and counties, and brought them directly under the jurisdiction.
After that, although Renna countries repeatedly launched uprisings to restore the country, and Japan sent troops several times, the overall situation has long been settled.
Most of Imna was annexed by Silla, a small part in the east was annexed by Baekje, and a small part of Wa was occupied as a counter-offensive stronghold, while the restorants of Imna occupied some mountains, islands, etc. land.
Under this situation, Datang canonized Jin Yuanli, the great-grandson of King Gaya, the last golden official who had been exterminated for 106 years, as the new King Gaya. It was obvious that he wanted to disrupt the situation.
Those thirty-six Gaya princes are basically descendants of the former royal families of those countries, and they are also some of the more powerful leaders of the rebel army in that area, and some are just exiles. Qin Lang simply joined in. Thirty-six, a state alliance map was drawn for the new Gaya country.
There are thirty-six prefectures under the Gaya Kingdom, and each lord has to be named a Marquis, and at the same time, he also serves as the court of the Gaya Kingdom.
As part of the agreement, Jin Yuanli and others also opened up some of the coastal islands they currently control to Datang's caravans.
Sihai Company will establish commercial ports and strongholds in Sangduol Country (Yeosu City), Lower Dorla Country (Dosan City), Gucha Country (Goseong County, Geoje Island), Dulu Country (Busan) and other places , and provided weapons for the Gaya Kingdom in these places, and sent instructors to train soldiers and horses for them.
A group of subjugated nobles, and some fake royal descendants, most of them have already been reduced to bandits and pirates, or exiles living in Japan or the Tang Dynasty. They never expected that they would come to Chang'an this year Asking for some rewards in the name of tribute, and finally getting such a good thing.
All of them changed into Datang's purple robes and jade belts, and all of them were beaming.
Even if they don’t say anything about the king’s prefect, the false titles given by Datang are enough for them to be satisfied.
Jin Yuanli couldn't even figure out how he had actually become a pirate leader and was entrenched on the island. How could he suddenly become the King of Gaya chosen by the Tang Dynasty? They will train 5,000 sailors, 3,000 cavalry, and 12,000 infantry, and will provide them with a steady stream of weapons to help them restore their country.
Duke Wei did what he said. Yesterday he led the prime ministers, generals and guards of Gaya Kingdom to Weiwei Temple, and saw the batch of weapons given to them.
Placed an order for 2,000 sets of armor in one go, including Tang Hengdao, spears, Tang bows, and even magic weapons such as crossbows, horse lances, and Mo swords.
Two thousand sets of complete ordnance, including 1,400 sets for infantry and 600 sets for cavalry.
Usually when I was a pirate, rowed a small sailboat, strolled along the coast, took a chance to **** a few small fishing villages, and if I had the opportunity to **** a small county town, it would be a big deal. When I met more than a hundred officers and soldiers from Silla, they I dare not go up.
But now two thousand sets of such good equipment are directly given, which is much better than the equipment of the Xinluo army. Many of the Xinluo army only have leather armor. It is only those generals of noble origin.
Looking at these equipments, Jin Yuanli really believed that Datang wanted to support him as king and restore him to the country.
With these equipments, he felt that he really became a king, not a pirate.
With two thousand sets of such equipment, he was even thinking, where can he find so many suitable soldiers to equip? The group of pirates under him are not qualified to use such good equipment.
And the Duke of Wei will also send elite veterans of the Tang Dynasty to serve as instructors to train soldiers for them. I can't help being very excited when I think of this.
With the equipment and the instructor, why worry about not having a strong army?
When the time comes, fight all the way to Jincheng.
Two thousand sets of equipment, Qin Lang also said that this is only the first batch, and there will be more in the future. Although these equipment are not free, Datang agreed with them to provide them with loans, and then purchase these ordnance, and then even the principal with interest will be repaid.
As for how to repay and what to take to repay, they have to figure out a way. For example, the plundered loot, or even the robbed population, can be exchanged for money at the Four Seas Company to pay off the debt.
Jin Yuanli already has a repayment plan. After obtaining these elite equipment, he will find Datang to purchase a batch of fast boats and large ships, and then start training his armed men when he returns home. When the time comes, he will plunder Silla and Baekje along the coast, and grab whatever he has. What, then sell it to the Four Seas Company, and exchange it for money to repay the loan.
Continue to purchase ordnance and ships from Datang, and then continue to rob.
King Gaya doesn't care too much now, he just wants to become the biggest One Piece in Haidong.
Jin Yuanli left with a group of Gaya princes in high spirits.
Wei Zheng frowned a little, "A group of bandits and pirates, wearing crowns and monkeys, what kind of climate can they achieve? Qin Xiang's move will instead anger the three kingdoms of Haidong, isn't it worth the candle?"
"With Datang's support, even if it's a group of bandits and pirates, after all, they are the heirs of the royal families of those countries, and we can support them. As for whether the Three Kingdoms of Haidong will be dissatisfied, is it up to the Tang Dynasty to take care of it? ?” Qin Lang said disapprovingly.
