Anecdotes of King Tai Hao

In April13, King Tai Hao died at the age of 39. Although King Tai Hao only ruled Koguryo for 22 years, Koguryo's territory expanded rapidly during his reign. Koguryo was then the most vast country in the history of the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, King Tai Hao is regarded as a great national hero by the Korean nation. King Tai Hao was also the first king in the history of the Korean Peninsula, and he was an equal monarch with Emperor China.

The "wide opening" routine of Taekwondo is named after Hao. Among them, 39 movements represent expansion and recovery. "39" is taken from the first two digits 39 1 of the year when Wang succeeded to the throne.

In 4 14, the longevity king built a monument for King Tai Hao to record the achievements of King Tai Hao. This provides valuable information for future generations to understand history. However, the monument to King Tai Hao also records the following events about Japan.

In 399, Baekje and Japan jointly invaded Silla. Silla turned to Koguryo for help.

In 400, Koguryo expelled the Japanese from Silla and the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.

In 404, Koguryo once again defeated the Japanese invaders from the sea.

The situation on the Korean Peninsula in the second half of the 4th century At the beginning of the 4th century, King Michawa, the 15th monarch of Koguryo, annexed Lelang County and Daifang County on the Korean Peninsula. As a result, Koguryo's strategic tentacles gradually entered the northern part of the Korean Peninsula from the southeast, and began a military confrontation with Baekje and Silla in the south-central part of the peninsula. The Korean peninsula has entered the stage of Koguryo, Baekje and Silla. At this time, Koguryo's power is not dominant. In the west, it was attacked by Yan Qian. In the twelfth year of the old king (342), Maluku, the capital, was captured and looted by Yan Qian. In the south, it was attacked by Baekje. In 41 years (37 1), the former king of the old country led 30,000 troops to attack Pyongyang, but the former king of the old country refused, and he fell and died. In the early days of his accession to the throne, Little Beast King Lin contracted his army, vigorously stabilized domestic politics, and reformed Koguryo's army. After rectification and reform, Goguryeo's national strength gradually grew, especially after Guangkai Wang Taihao ascended the throne. After 22 years of conquest, Goguryeo reached its peak. At the same time, Japan on the other side of the peninsula has not been unified, and the bear attack in Kyushu has not surrendered to the Yamato court. However, the magic queen made a decision, temporarily begging Xiong to attack Silla first, and formed an alliance with Baekje to intervene in peninsula affairs. Koguryo's southern expedition and the Japanese invasion alliance had a huge conflict of interest, which led to a series of wars that Koguryo helped Silla resist the invasion of the Japanese invasion alliance. These wars began at the end of the fourth century and were not alleviated until the middle of the fifth century. Second, after King Tai Hao ascended the throne, the struggle for hegemony on the Korean Peninsula resumed. The war in this period can be roughly divided into two stages: the first stage and the second stage. The first stage is still mainly the confrontation between Koguryo and Baekje. In July (39 1) when he ascended the throne, King Tai Hao went south to more than ten cities in Lianke Baekje, reigning the battle between Koguryo and Baekje. In the same year 10, Guanmi City, an important Baekje town, was captured, which broke the balance between the two sides and even Goguryeo's previous disadvantages. Since then, the balance of war has tended to develop in favor of Koguryo. In the second year of Tai Hao (392), in August, "Baekje invaded the south, and his life will be abolished"; In July of the third year (393), "Baekje came to invade, Wang Yinjing rode five thousand, and was defeated, leaving at night"; In August of four years (394), "Wang and Baekje fought against the water god and suffered a crushing defeat, capturing more than 8,000 levels"; In six years (396), King Tai Hao "bowed to the water army and crusaded against the remaining countries ... so he got 58 cities and 700 villages. I sent my disabled younger brother and ten ministers back to the capital. " After several battles, Baekje suffered a heavy blow. Since then, Goguryeo has determined its absolute superiority in the military position on the Korean Peninsula, and maintained this superiority until its national subjugation. Judging from the existing historical documents of ancient China, Korea and Japan, stone tablets and other materials, there were no Japanese troops or soldiers in the Li Ji War ten years (400 years) before King Tai Hao. In other words, at this stage, the main target of Japanese invasion is Silla, which is very close to him. Although North Korea tried to use Li Ji War to exert political pressure on Baekje, it did not directly send troops to intervene in the war between Koguryo and Baekje. In the second stage, the Riva War began with the Battle of Gengzi in the 10th year of King Tai Hao (400 years). In that year, Japan took advantage of the years of war between Goguryeo and Baekje to step up its invasion of Silla, using troops to an unprecedented extent. "The Japanese filled their (Silla) border, smashed the city and regarded slaves as people." King Wu of Xinluo Nai was forced to turn to Koguryo for help because his country was in danger. King Tai Hao used this to expand Goguryeo's political influence, so he sent troops to rescue Silla at his request. Silla defeated the Japanese, and Japan was defeated in Silla. Taking this as a start, Japan began a direct military confrontation with Koguryo. In the fourteenth year of King Tai Hao (404), "but the Japanese were cunning and invaded the border of the belt ... Wang Lou tried to cut soup, and the Japanese were defeated countless times." In the seventeenth year (407), King Tai Hao "taught him to ride fifty thousand ... and fight side by side, and killed Tang. I have obtained more than 10,000 collars of armor and military equipment, which cannot be counted. " In order to punish Baekje for privately forming an alliance with Japan, King Tai Hao once again sent troops south to attack Baekje and Japanese soldiers, which dealt a heavy blow to him. At this stage, Japan directly began to intervene in the military struggle on the Korean peninsula. However, it was defeated by King Koguryo several times and failed to gain a foothold on the Korean Peninsula. Third, the establishment of economic alliance with Japan and the Sino-Japanese War. Baekje's alliance with Japan was a political strategy when it lost its advantage in the Koguryo war. From the middle of the 4th century, Baekje and Koguryo basically maintained their military superiority in the struggle for territory and hegemony until King Tai Hao ascended the throne. During the six-year war from Xinmao (39 1) to Shen Bing (396), King Tai Hao swept away Koguryo's decline and tilted the balance of the war to his own side. King Baekje Ashin "gave a thousand men and women a thousand horses" and was forced to swear that "from now on, I will always be a slave." In order to continue the hegemonic war, we established diplomatic relations with Japan, which tried its best to intervene in peninsula affairs. From the article "King Ashin" in Historical Records of Three Kingdoms Baekje, we can see that Baekje began to form an alliance with Japan in May of the year of Bingshen (396) and sent the prince as a proton to Japan. It was after the Battle of Gengzi (400) that the two countries established diplomatic relations and concluded a political and military alliance. In the ninth year of King Tai Hao (399), Goguryeo discovered that "Bai can break his oath and go along with Japan." When King Tai Hao visited Pyongyang, King Silla Naib sent a special envoy to state to King Tai Hao that "the Japanese filled their (Silla) border, the city collapsed, and slaves were the people." Silla had to "plead with the king" and ask the king of Tai Hao for help. "(Good) Wang Tai's kindness, calling him loyal, the contingent returned and told him a secret plan." It shows that Silla was forced to submit to Koguryo, and King Tai Hao also agreed to help Silla resist Japan. As Baekje suffered heavy losses in the year of Bingshen (396), Li Ji's front was relatively stable, and King Tai Hao was able to help Silla. In the 10th year of King Tai Hao, in the year of Gengzi (400), he sent fifty thousand troops of infantry and cavalry to save Silla. This battle is clearly described on the tablet of King Tai Hao: the Boxer Rebellion for ten years taught troops to ride fifty thousand to save Silla. From the city where men live to Silla, they are all Japanese. When the officials and the military arrived, the Japanese thieves retreated. From the Japanese back to Ren Changlang, the city was taken over. Luo' an people stationed troops and withdrew from Xinluo City. Yancheng is full. The enemy collapsed, the city was nineteen, and I refused to follow the enemy. Luoan people guarded the army and filled Luocheng. □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□―――――――――― Since the Battle of Gengzi in the 10th year of Tai Hao (400 years), Japan and Goguryeo started direct contact. From the lessons of the defeat in the Battle of Gengzi, Japan gradually realized that the biggest obstacle to the occupation of Silla was not Baekje, but a stronger Koguryo. Therefore, getting rid of Koguryo, a huge obstacle, is Japan's most urgent strategy. In this way, Japan has actively strengthened its ties with Baekje. After the Battle of Gengzi, Japan and Baekje became more closely linked. In May of the 11th year of King Ashin (40 1), in the 12th year of Spring and February (402), "Japanese envoys arrived and the king welcomed them, which was very thick." It further established the alliance between the two countries. After nearly four years of careful preparation, the Yamato court tried to avenge the shame of the Boxer Rebellion, so it took the initiative in Chen Jianian (404) and joined Baekje to invade the south of Koguryo and Fangjun County. (Fourteen years of Guangkai Tuwang)
