I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 622: Tang Dynasty Relocation of Capital
"From now on."

"Wakoku will forever be a slave of the Tang Dynasty."

"It cannot be pardoned, it cannot be avoided."

"Any Japanese woman of the Yanhuang bloodline of our Tang Dynasty is not allowed to marry."

| "All the Yanhuang people who have served the Japanese before will be exterminated."

"If anyone resists, he will be killed without mercy!"

Li Zheng raised the sword in his hand and announced in a majestic voice.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Inside and outside the entire palace, countless Tang soldiers shouted in unison.

"Li Kan."

Li Zheng drank again.

"The minister is here."

Li Kan responded immediately.

"I will give you all the 150,000 troops. You must take control of Japan and transport the Japanese men to the Tang Dynasty in an orderly manner without any contact with each other, so as to build tracks and highways."

"In the future, these laborers must be put to good use."

Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

"I accept the decree."

Li Kan gladly accepted the order.

At this time.

The Ryukyu King quickly walked to the tower and knelt directly in front of Li Zheng: "I will lead 80,000 Ryukyu men to obey the emperor's order. Please make arrangements, emperor."

"There are many weapons in this city. I will give them all to you to arm yourself."

"It will take time to control the Japanese island."

"I don't need you Ryukyu men to die for conquering cities. What I need to do is to defend them and assist my Tang army in controlling the cities of Japan."

“Similarly, strict governance.”

Li Zheng stared at the Ryukyu King and said in a majestic voice.

"Your Majesty, take the order."

The King of Ryukyu stood up and accepted the order excitedly.

As he looked at the Japanese gathered below, his eyes were full of coldness.

For him, for the entire Ryukyu, there is no good feeling towards Japan, only hatred.

Years of repeated oppression and years of repeated plunder.

It's all hatred.

Using them to control the Japanese cities, there will definitely be no omissions.

This was also what Li Zheng did intentionally. Using Ryukyu, which also hated Japan, to control them could also save the Tang Dynasty a lot of trouble.

"Next, you don't need to worry too much. Just wait for the Tang army to control the entire Japanese country, and then gradually transport the Japanese men to the Tang Dynasty as slaves."

Looking at the Japanese gathered below, Li Zheng already had a plan in mind and had even planned the industrial chain.

in this era.

But it was still an agricultural and pastoral era, not an industrialized era.

The requirements for manpower are very high.

Under the order of the Tang Dynasty, manpower requires a huge amount of money, and the most important thing is that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is now too vast, requiring countless manpower. It is indeed possible to use a part of it to drive the economy of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

But now the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, and the construction of tracks, roads, and cultivation of mineral veins requires too much manpower. If there could be someone who could provide food for free, the consumption of the Tang Dynasty's treasury would be reduced a lot.

When we conquered the northern grasslands in the past, we obtained a lot of slaves, especially from the Turkic tribes, but their population was not too large, not as many as that of Japan.

now.

We have obtained millions of people from Japan, including one to two million men, all of whom can be utilized.

Of course. Since they were demoted to slaves, there were many subsequent uses for them. In addition to using them, they also had to be given hope, such as letting them work for the Tang Dynasty for a certain number of years before returning to their hometowns, and so on.

These are all available.

If you just use it blindly and completely deprive them of hope, their attitude will be bad and the construction they bring will be bad. Li Zheng naturally has a very good grasp of human nature.

Time passes slowly.

The new capital of the Tang Dynasty, Beiping Prefecture.

After Li Zheng left Chang'an, everything in the Tang Dynasty court began to move to the new capital in an orderly manner.

Now, half a year has passed, and all the power in Chang'an has been moved there, even Li Zheng's concubines and children have moved there.

The former crown prince Li Chengqian, who served as regent, also went there, and the six ministries also went there.

But the only one who did not pass away was the retired emperor Li Shimin.

After Chang'an was established as the capital, he never left. He had the best memories of her in Chang'an. With his wife around, he didn't want to leave.

and so.

The retired emperor Li Shimin stayed in the Chang'an Palace, living in his own small courtyard, enjoying this kind of family happiness.

even.

His old brother Yuchi Jingde did not go to Peking either, but stayed in Chang'an.

After strength.

Even though Li Chengqian advised him against it, Li Shimin refused to leave. He also said that his son possessed a magical beast that could travel a thousand miles a day. If he wanted to see him, he only needed one day and he would not leave.

There was no other choice. For the sake of the stability of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian had to move all the officials to Beiping.

Look towards the city of Beiping.

The Tang Dynasty's Ministry of Works expanded several times based on the original basis of Youzhou. All the previous urban areas became outer cities, and the Ministry of Works built a new inner city.

But whether it is the outer city or the inner city.

They are all extremely prosperous.

There were people coming and going everywhere, and the sounds of hawking and shouting were constant.

The key is.

There are also many foreign faces in this city, some from the Shi Khanate and some from the Western Regions.

The capital of a country represents the most prosperous place in that country.

Inside the Imperial Palace in Peking.

Now the imperial palace is divided into two. One is the West Palace where Li Chengqian, the current regent, lives. It is not very big, with only a few palaces. Li Chengqian lives in it with his concubines. Except for the West Palace, the other palaces belong to Li Zheng's concubines and wives, and the same places are all sealed.

Although we are brothers.

However, we must be clear about this aspect. In order to avoid public discussion, Li Chengqian naturally has his own principles.

"Report to the Regent. We have received news from Japan that the Emperor has beheaded the Japanese Emperor. Now the territory of Japan has almost been conquered by the Tang Dynasty."

Zheng Xuan reported to Li Chengqian.

"He personally trained the navy of our Tang Dynasty and equipped it with various powerful weapons of our Tang Dynasty. It is natural that we can destroy a small country like Japan." Li Chengqian smiled.

"Now, my Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of War have sent people to Japan. Within ten days at most, at least 50,000 Japanese men will enter our Tang Dynasty. The specific arrangements will need to be decided by the Regent." Qin Jiansheng said respectfully.

"How is the construction of the train tracks going now?"

Li Chengqian did not make any direct arrangements, but looked at Kaiji.

"Return to the Regent."

"Now the railway tracks have been built to Beijiang Prefecture, Shandong Prefecture, Shanxi Prefecture and other places, with more than 20 tracks, many of which are connected to Beiping Prefecture by steam trains."

"However, the track set by the Ministry of Industry covers the entire Tang Dynasty. Although the tasks have been sent to the local areas, it still requires time and sufficient manpower."

"And now that the Ministry of Industry is working at full capacity, the demand for iron ore is increasing day by day."

“All of this requires sufficient manpower.”

"I suggest that after this first batch of slaves arrive, they naturally cannot have access to the core secrets of our Tang Dynasty. Instead, they can be sent to mines and build railways in various places as coolies," Kaiji suggested.
