  Chapter 1295 Tough emperor

  Prince Fuyulong of Baekje led the army outside, and in the city was Fuyuwensi, the son of Fuyulong. Seeing that the Tang army had blasted the gap in the city wall, he led the city and surrendered directly.

  The capital fell, and Prince Fu Yulong, who had retreated to the mountains outside the city, had to lead his troops to surrender.

   It happened to be New Year's Eve when the envoys who reported the victory escorted Fuyu Long and Fuyu Wensi to Luoyang.

On the night before Zhengdan changed to the Yuan Dynasty, Su Dingfang sent such a gift. Of course, Li Yinlong was very happy, so he bestowed the title of General of the Zhenjun, and specially conferred the title of appeasement envoy of Daofang Dao Jinglue. Governor.

  Baekje's demise, to Qin Lang, this is something that has long been expected.

  Li Ji used troops against Goguryeo in Liaodong, and Qin Lang had already drawn Wa, an ally of Baekje, to the Tang Dynasty. Now he is busy with innovation and mining to make money.

  As for Silla, not to mention, this is a feud, Jin Chunqiu led troops to take advantage of the fire to loot, and Gaya and Tamna, the two vassal island countries supported by the Tang Dynasty, were even worse.

  Baekje is in a more difficult situation than in history, so it will perish faster.

"I heard that the Zhengshitang is now arguing about the disposal of Baekje," Wei Chang said with a smile, "The eldest grandson said that the late emperor had a last word, saying that after the destruction of Baekje, he would support a prince of Baekje who was obedient and loyal to the Tang Dynasty. The king of Baekje ruled Baekje and set up a governor's office."

   "But the saint is not willing, and wants to directly set Baekje as an economically controlled state county."

Changsun Wuji believed that Baekje should be governed by Jiji according to Li Shimin's opinion, and even planned to confer Fuyulong as the king of Baekje, confer the title of Daifang County King, set up Daifang Governor's Mansion, and set up five governors including Xiongjin. Jurisdiction over thirty-seven states and two hundred and fifty counties.

However, Li Yin proposed to change the land and return it to the stream, and set up Daifang Road. In the Han and Jin Dynasties, the seven counties in Daifang County were upgraded to prefectures, and Daifang, Liekou, Nanxin, Changcen, Tixi, and Hanzi were established. , Haiming Qizhengzhou, thirty-seven counties below.

  Baekje's own division is five divisions and thirty-seven counties. The official household registration is 760,000 households, and the population is still quite large.

Changsun Wuji thinks that Baekje is too far away, and Goguryeo has not been taken yet, so there is no need to implement direct rule. After all, although the king died and the prince surrendered, most areas have not yet surrendered. If the imperial court engages in direct occupation, It is estimated that Baekje will continue to fight at that time.

It would be better to rule in Jimi, with Prince Fu Yulong as the king, the original five departments were changed to the five capitals, the thirty-seven counties were changed to thirty-seven prefectures, and the two hundred and fifty counties remained unchanged. , still retain it, grant officials and titles, and then you can go down the whole territory without fighting.

   At that time, with the food and soldiers of Baekje, assist Su Dingfang's army to attack Goguryeo from the south, and take the whole Goguryeo together with Li Ji.

  But Li Yin's temperament is that he is unwilling to give up the fat in his mouth.

  In his view, Baekje is just another Tuyuhun. Even if there are repetitions, where can it go? In the past, Tuyuhun made trouble several times, and he personally sent troops to kill them. Does Tuyuhun still exist now?

   On this matter, the emperor refused to follow the opinion of the chief minister of the elders, and became deadlocked.

  Li Yin's attitude was firm, and Baekje was directly changed into seven prefectures, the original thirty-seven counties were reduced to thirty-seven counties, and the original two hundred and fifty counties were all reduced to townships.

   There is no need to give too much preferential treatment to the old noble officials of Baekje. They are conquered, so the royal family and nobles have to move to the two capitals.

  Next, Su Dingfang led troops to continue to sweep the area, and those who dared not to join were wiped out immediately.

The officials and people in the Baekje region were treated the same as the Goguryeo region in Liaodong during the Eastern Expedition. The nobles, powerful landlords and wealthy people all moved back to the Central Plains, and then all their land was confiscated, and some of them were used as official land. Part of the reward was given to the soldiers who conquered Baekje as honors, and the other was used to recruit immigrants from the Central Plains and distributed to ordinary people in Baekje.

   This is almost the same as the previous disposal policy after the occupation of Liaodong.

Changsun Wuji objected, thinking that the Liaodong occupation policy was not implemented smoothly, because there were not enough Han Chinese from the Central Plains to immigrate there, and the relocation of a large number of local upper classes brought many rebellions and resistance, which increased maintenance. the cost of.

  The actual situation in Liaodong now is much more depressed than when the Goguryeo people controlled it before the war. The population has been greatly reduced, and it cannot be filled. I don’t know when it will recover.

   And if Baekje does the same, the situation will be even worse.

   Moreover, Changsun Wuji warned that if the imperial court dealt with Baekje in this way before taking Goguryeo, then there would inevitably be a large-scale local resistance in Baekje, and it would even give Silla an opportunity to seize the land of Baekje.

   But Li Yin was indifferent to Changsun Wuji's warning, and insisted on going to the 'stomach' in one step.

   Li Yin even planned to merge Gaya, a small vassal state supported by the Tang Dynasty in the early years, into Daifang Road, and even came up with the idea of ​​Tamra Kingdom.

   "I heard that there are several generals who performed very well this time to destroy Baekje. Your brother Niu Jianhu, as well as Wang Wendu, Liu Boying, Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, and Xue Rengui, competed fiercely one by one."

   "It's just bullying barbarians."

  Drinking wine and chatting, Qin Lang wasn't too interested in the war on the peninsula, because he knew the result earlier, so he didn't have half the excitement of anticipation.

  Compared to Su Dingfang's swift and violent use of troops, Li Ji fought steadily in Liaodong, deliberately consuming Goguryeo's military power on the front line of the Yalu River, and Qin Lang could see through his purpose in doing so.

  The Tang Army was on the front line of the Yalu River, and it had also been operating for several years. It had stored a lot of food, grass and military equipment, and even built many castle military depots. Fighting here, the Tang Army is basically no different from fighting at home, and there will be no logistical pressure.

   There are even sailors who can support along the coast and along the river, and even the cavalry of Mohe Zhuhu can provide more assistance.

  This has some advantages compared to directly attacking Pyongyang with a long drive. It can avoid excessively long supply lines, heavy logistical pressure, and even avoid fighting on the enemy's home court.

  First consume Goguryeo's new force on the front line of the Yaxian River. When it is almost consumed, and then kill it in one fell swoop, the Goguryeo people will no longer have the power to resist.

   This style of play must be patient, especially the support from the court.

   Fortunately, Li Yin is not a person who does not understand military affairs. He also expressed his full support for Li Ji, the general chosen by the ancestor. No matter how Li Ji fights, he agrees and does not interfere at all.

   "Didn't Saburo say that Luzon has always been short of people, I think this is a good opportunity. Now that Baekje has just been destroyed, Su Dingfang must have a large number of captives in his hands, so he just bought some."

  Because Li Shimin deliberately stuck Luzon's neck and set up immigration restrictions, although Xu Jingzong, Cui Dunli and others helped, they were still very limited. This has led to Luzon having to revise its strategy now.

  Qin Lang originally planned to emigrate a large number of Han people from the Central Plains to establish a colony of Han immigrants. He did not want to keep too many local natives or other foreign slaves in Luzon.

  But in the face of reality, he also had to bow his head.

   It is impossible not to bow your head. The population growth rate is too slow, which seriously restricts the development of Luzon.

  He can only relax his control over the indigenous people. He not only recruited some indigenous tribes, moved them to the outer islands of Luzon, divided the land, and even reserved a lot of autonomy for some indigenous tribes.

   On the other hand, it can only increase the introduction of slaves.

   Now, there are less than half of the Han Chinese in Luzon.

Qin Lang could only strengthen colonial education, such as stipulating that all native children should go to the main island of Luzon to receive Sinicized education, implement a boarding system, arrange these native children to live in Han families, and the Luzon government will give the host families a a subsidy.

  At the same time, they also searched for those orphans everywhere and let them be adopted by Han immigrant families, and the government also subsidized a sum of money.

  Qin Lang tried to increase the reliable population of Luzon through this method.

Back then Qin Lang implemented this policy of adopting barbarian orphans in Wu'an, and the effect was good. Many barbarian war orphans grew up in Han adoptive families, recognized Han as their parents, and learned Han culture. Aside from their slightly different looks, they are no different from ordinary Han immigrants.

   Their thinking has been completely sinicized.

In Wu'an and Taiping Port, there are a lot of such adopted orphans, and now they have grown into the younger generation. In all walks of life, even many young Kunlun slaves who are dark and dark have been Sinicized. The words are better than many Han people in the mountains of the Central Plains.

   But Qin Lang has always felt that this can only be a stopgap measure. If there is no way to ensure the numerical advantage of the main ethnic group, then there will be serious hidden dangers in the future, especially in overseas places like Luzon.

  In Qin Lang's vision, the main body of the Han nationality should not be less than 70%.

  This kind of thinking may be attacked in later generations, but in this era, it is necessary.

"Although Baekje is said to be a country established by the Buyeo people from the northeast who went south to conquer the tribes of Ma and Han, the Buyeo people are still half of their own people." Although Wei Chang was born as a slave, he is still a lord after all, so he has learned it over the years. some knowledge.

  He also knew that the rulers of Baekje and Goguryeo came from Buyeo.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Lai nationality was already a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty. During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, it was widely distributed in the vast area from the Korean Peninsula in the south to the middle reaches of the Songhua River Basin in the north. The main body of the Lai was in the northeast. A small part gradually moved to other eastern regions, and a small part of the Yamen moved to the Korean peninsula.

  Later, Suoli, the northern branch of the Lai nationality, established a kingdom in the Songnen Plain. The Central Plains was translated as Fuyu Kingdom.

"Up to now, most of the Fuyu people have merged with the descendants of Donghu and Xiao Shen, as well as the descendants of the Yeji people and Sanhan. Even, from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, how many Han people in the Central Plains immigrated to Liaodong and North Korea, and later They were merged into Buyeo, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, so in fact, these people have a lot to do with us.”

  Compared to the dark Kunlun slaves, or the blond Taisinu, these people in the Liaodong region and the Korean peninsula have a more complicated relationship with the Han people.

  Just like the Korean peninsula in ancient times, the southern region has always been the indigenous people of the Sanhan tribe. These tribes known as the Sanhan formed three tribal alliances, what Jinhan, Mahan, and Bihan.

  Baekje State was established by a Fuyu prince who led troops southward and conquered the Mahan Tribal Alliance in the southwest.

Of course, there are also legends that the Jizi dynasty established by Jizi in the Yin Shang Dynasty took in Weiman in the early Han Dynasty, but was finally usurped by Weiman. The last king of Jizi Dynasty moved south with some subordinates, forcefully The three Korean tribal alliances in the south were subdued.

  Unified all Han, called himself King Chen, and established the Kingdom of Chen.

   However, the last Joseon king is said to have no heirs, and no one will inherit the throne after his death, causing internal strife. In the end, Sanhan became independent again, but after attracting some culture and technology brought by Jizi Joseon, his strength has improved a lot.

   There is also a legend that Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu and Han Zhong two sorcerers to bring a large number of people to the sea to seek longevity medicine. Later, when Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty came, the Koreans crossed the sea to pay tribute, and they claimed to be the descendants of Han Tu.

  Although these contents are also recorded in ancient history books.

  But Qin Lang didn't quite believe it.

  He still thinks that the Sanhan in the south of the Korean peninsula are natives, and the northern part of the peninsula is the natives. Later, during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Jizi was granted to Korea, and Jizi Korea was established in the north of the peninsula, which lasted until the early Western Han Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Weiman went to Jizi Dynasty to be taken in, but later he usurped the country of Jizi Dynasty, and then a certain prince from Jizi Dynasty went to the south, beat up the natives of Sanhan, and announced that he would be the king of Han in the future. The king of the three Koreans.

  But this King Han or King Chen didn’t last long, and was chased and attacked by Wiman Joseon, who was defeated and died. South Korea naturally ceased to exist, and all the ministries of the three Hans turned to Wiman Joseon to worship the boss.

   Not long after, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to destroy Wei's Korea and set up a county in Liaodong.

   During this period, whether it was the Fuyu people in the north, the Goguryeo people, or the Sanhan people in the south, they all had to bow down to the powerful Han Empire.

  Until later, after they learned a lot of advanced Chinese culture and technology, they grew step by step.

  The Buyeo people successively established Goguryeo and Baekje, while the Jinhan people also established the Silla Kingdom, and the Byeonhan also established the Gaya Alliance.

  By this time, whether it is Goguryeo, Baekje or Silla, these countries have indeed integrated many tribes, including many Han people.

  From a certain point of view, the peninsula people at this time are no different from the Nanman in the Lingnan of the Central Plains, Guizhou and Yunnan, and may even be closer to the Han nationality than those in the Southwest Yi and Lingnan.

   Just like Baekje, it is the first country on the peninsula to actively respect Confucianism, much earlier than the Japanese.

  The upper-class nobles of Baekje have long been able to write Chinese characters and read Confucian books.

"Since you are planning to go to Luzon, then I will not treat you badly. When you get there, the land will definitely be assigned to you. There is a lot of land, but you have to figure out how to do it yourself. If you think Baekje has a good population, then you Find a way to get some more."

   "Saburo, don't you want Baekje people?"

   "Naturally it is necessary."
