Why did the Battle of Baijiangkou start, and why did more than 10,000 Japanese pirates end up buried under the water?

In fact, it can be said that the Battle of Baijiangkou was not an accident, but a war with long-standing grievances. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula could be said to be in the last period of the First Three Kingdoms period. At that time, the three kingdoms of Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo could be said to be standing on a tripod, and it could be said that they were at war with each other.

Among them, Goguryeo has the greatest reputation and the strongest military power. It is not very peaceful in the Central Plains. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once conquered Goguryeo. But later we all know that the Tang Jian and Sui Dynasties in the Central Plains were destroyed, and there was also a coup in Goguryeo. The then Eastern leader Gaisu Wen killed more than a hundred ministers, and entered the palace of Goguryeo to kill the King of Goguryeo Gao Jianwu. , so some people in the Tang Dynasty began to persuade Tang Taizong to attack him and sentence him to the crime of regicide. After that, Emperor Taizong could be said to have attacked Goguryeo several times, and faced the power of the Tang Dynasty. At first, he fought and won. But in the end, the subsequent war was abandoned due to the inability to adapt to the weather.

It was not until the time of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty that this matter was mentioned once, but it stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with Japan. We didn’t call you when we beat us, but Goguryeo didn’t think so, and they began to send The envoys went to Japan to discuss the matter, hoping that the Yamato court of Japan at that time could lend a helping hand to them. The Emperor of Japan at that time was also very hot-headed and agreed without hesitation without even thinking about it.

In this way, the Japanese entered this war. However, during the Tang Dynasty, our country's strength was unimaginable for a small country like Japan. As a result, three, five, and two came to the rescue. The Japanese army was beaten to a pulp!
