Emperor Zhenguan

Changan.

The news of Goguryeo will be sent to Chang'an every three days for the emperor and his officials to read.

At this time, Li Zhiyun already knew that Goguryeo was destroyed, so he didn't feel much joy and excitement in his heart, and he could even be said to be very calm.Or, as it should be.

The Tang army has fought south and north in recent years, destroying the country everywhere, and its strength is strong enough to wipe out Goguryeo in an instant, not to mention the existence of artillery as a big killer.In the current world, if the artillery is used to attack the city, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.

Why did Goguryeo stick to it?
It is not relying on the terrain and the solid city, but the Tang army has artillery, no matter what happens, it will be covered by firepower. If you bomb it, you will not be safe, and your army will be broken. What do you use to defend the city?
If you don't defend the city, you can only choose to go out of the city to fight recklessly and flee.

Fight hard with Tang Jun?
Do you have that strength!
Tang Qilian Turks and other prairie tribes soldiers and horses can press on the ground and beat violently, and their plate armor can be said to be unparalleled. They are either killing the enemy or on the way to killing the enemy. Goguryeo took the lead.

The Goguryeo soldiers and horses who have no advantage are like lambs to be slaughtered in front of the Tang army.

political affairs hall.

"The ministers congratulate His Majesty, and congratulate the Great Tang." The six ministers congratulated the emperor for killing another foreign country.

Press, the ministers are also very calm now.No way, since the Turks were killed by the emperor, Datang has always won foreign wars, and won and made money.This time the attack on Goguryeo was extremely plentiful with food, grass, and weapons. Apart from using the folks from the states along the way to help carry the grain, it hardly disturbed the people.

What's more, the people of Tang Dynasty earnestly hope that His Majesty the Emperor will expand abroad.Because the benefits brought about by treating grassland people as human beings have gradually fermented over the years, the heavy labor in the past has been replaced by grassland slaves, and the burden on the common people has been reduced a lot.The imperial court plunders the cattle and sheep from the grasslands every year and distributes them. I don’t know how many families without farming cattle have benefited.

As for whether those slaves will make trouble?
Hehe, look at the bones buried under the cement road, that is the end of disobedience.

Bloody?

It was bloody, but if it weren't for such bloody oppression and slavery, how could the Tang Dynasty have grown so fast in just a few years, and how could it have attacked the city and wiped out the country.

The benefits brought by the plunder, turned into nutrients for industry, are feeding back to Datang.

The population of the Tang Dynasty was increasing rapidly, the imperial court collected more and more taxes year by year, and the territory of the empire expanded rapidly. Even the common people gradually became richer these years, and many places could afford to eat enough and wear warm clothes.

This is the prosperous age.

How many people know the darkness under the prosperous age?

Just like the Weihe workshop, which is emitting black smoke day and night, the court officials only know that the agricultural tools that are produced there every once in a while to increase production are very practical, the cement that is produced is very hard, and even the products that are produced are very useful.

Others, who knows.

These years, of course, those slaves have resisted a lot, but what's the use, they are unarmed, resistance is death.If you don't resist, build roads honestly, connect rivers and canals, reclaim wasteland, and still have a chance to survive.

After the initial violent oppression, the court's treatment of slaves is now much more relaxed, and it has begun to use a group of loyal dog slaves to oppress another group of slaves.

...

For example, use domesticated grassland slaves to squeeze Tuyuhun slaves.Artificially make a fuss about these slave races and let them fight to the death.

Another example is to let Xue Yantuo slaves fight with Uighur slaves, and let Khitan slaves and Xi slaves supervise.In order to prevent them from colluding, every once in a while, a few of these loyal dog-type slaves would accidentally die tragically.

It's appalling, it's like trampling the word 'and' under your feet.

But who knows!
The people of the Tang Dynasty only know that they seldom do hard labor now, and even if they do hard labor, they are working with the army to supervise the slaves.

They only know that the cement roads are getting longer and longer, and the activities of merchants are unprecedentedly active, bringing Chang'an a large amount of commercial tax revenue.

The officials of the imperial court have become more and more convenient to travel, and their efficiency has become better. Even the censors often travel around to make unannounced visits.

Changes have gradually emerged, and Datang's national power is advancing rapidly.

"Hahaha." Li Zhiyun smiled triumphantly, and immediately sat down several prime ministers, and said: "This time, our army broke through the city one after another and destroyed the country of Goguryeo within a few months. It is really the credit of your love for your loyalty to the state affairs. I appreciate it very much. .”

Then, of course, it's business bragging, and then some rewards.

Afterwards, Du Ruhui asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do with the land of Goguryeo?"

Generally speaking, the governor's mansion is established for governance, but this time, Li Zhiyun will make some changes according to local conditions.

"Gaoguli is different from the grasslands. Its country has been established for a long time. Although its country is destroyed now, its heart has not been destroyed. I am afraid that its people will be capricious. Therefore, we set up Liaodong Road, set up prefectures and counties, and send officials to rule it. In addition, officials can be ordered to move. His wives and children, make them Tang people."

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the Goguryeo man?" Xue Shou asked.

Li Zhiyun said calmly: "Just do what you want, and you don't have to worry too much. The population of the grassland has gradually decreased over the years. It just so happens that Koguryo will be used instead, and the grassland will be given a year or two to recover before we go back to the past."

Hearing this, everyone obeyed immediately.

Although there are still many imperial slaves available, they must be planned now, and it is unreasonable to just grab a sheep and pluck the wool.

Li Jing asked: "Your Majesty, if the grassland policy is implemented in Goguryeo, then decades later, the land will be desolate, wouldn't it be a pity?"

According to the grassland, it is exterminating the species.

But the difference is that the prairie people are grazing. As long as there are people, they can drive them to graze everywhere, and they are not afraid of wasting resources.Moreover, on the grassland, only a few places are suitable for farming military settlements, and other places are not easy to use.

But Goguryeo is different. Goguryeo is mainly farming. Now the emperor wants to take away the Goguryeo women and make them the people of the Tang Dynasty, and also treats the Goguryeo men as slaves.

In this case, it would be meaningless to take down Goguryeo.

But Li Zhiyun has his reasons.

First, immigration is possible. This is a gradual process. It is impossible to do this all at once, and it must take decades to do so.

The second thing is that that place is naturally closer to the Wa Kingdom, so it will be convenient to send ships there to occupy it in the future.If you want to do this, then the Goguryeo area is the springboard, and you have to manage it well.

"Imigrate." Li Zhiyun said: "Every year, hundreds of households can be moved, and tell them that when they go there, they will be exempt from taxes for three years, and the system will be divided into acres, and how much they can cultivate depends on themselves. ability."

Right now, the people of Tang Dynasty are definitely not willing to go to that ghostly place, so they can only lower their goals and move about a hundred households every year.

"Yes."

Several prime ministers were not surprised by the emperor's decision. The emperor had long been preparing for emigration, but there were many obstacles, and most of them came from the people.

After the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court still had some land, and the common people also felt that life was getting better and better now, who would want to go to those wild lands.Therefore, the imperial court either forced the criminals to go to those places, or took the son-in-law and sent them there.Most normal people are unwilling.

What's more, the places where they immigrated before are all close to the grasslands, which is even more difficult.In the eyes of the courtiers, Goguryeo can only be regarded as half of the places worthy of emigration in the true sense.

However, Li Zhiyun felt that after those merchants discovered the trade of Wa Kingdom in the future, the place of Goguryeo would gradually prosper.After all, that place is very close to Wa country.
