Chapter 102: The second part of the plan to kill four birds with one stone
Beigong Zheng looked at the king's expression and did not mean to be angry, so he continued: "The countermeasures of the first kings to control the Yidi nation are: if they are subdued, they will use virtue to appease, and if they rebel, they will use power to suppress them. Now that the Xiyi Kingdom has only captured Yicheng on the border of our country, it is not enough to be afraid. The last time our country attacked the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, more than 50,000 soldiers were captured, and instead of imprisoning them in the capital, the king should give them a chance to make up for their mistakes, and let them follow the army of the Northern Dynasty to crusade against Xiyi. The minister heard that General Yan was brave and good at fighting, and if General Yan could lead the team to conquer Xiyi, he would definitely be able to defeat Xiyi. ”
The opinions put forward by Beigong Zheng are: first: the princess does not need to go to peace, and second: if the two countries go to war, they can use the captured Eastern Zhou soldiers first.
"If they can contribute to our country, it is the best, I am afraid that they will ......" The king was still worried that the soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would not be used by the Northern Dynasty, after all, it was the Northern Dynasty that destroyed the Eastern Zhou Kingdom.
Beigong Zheng knew that the king's heart was already a little shaken at this time, and he could still listen to his words after watching the king.
"The territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has just been sacked by war, and there is a shortage of people, but the land is fertile and should be enriched. The king was benevolent, after the last war, he did not slaughter the city, but exiled the people of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom to the cold land, if the king could move the people of the old Eastern Zhou back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to live, and settle down in the fields. If these captured soldiers had known that the king's benevolence had benefited their families, they would have been grateful for the king's benevolence and served the king. If the soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are willing to contribute to our country, they will have no worries about collecting an army to crusade against Xiyi. Beigong Zheng admired that such a plan was planned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and everything he said now was just to convey His Highness's plan to the king.
"Yes!" The king was only a little enlightened at this time, and it was good that someone had already thought so. It's just easier said than done.
"When it comes to war, Weichen can't help, but when it comes to management, the minister can still share the king's worries! The minister was willing to be responsible for the migration and settlement of the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Beigong Zheng looked at the king and waited for the king's words.
"Then there is Lao Aiqing!" King Dayue, Beigong Zheng not only offered a strategy, but also was willing to do it.
In the main hall, the lights were bright, and the king was in a good mood. The king immediately ordered Beigong Zheng to set off.
The next day, Beigong Zheng set off for the cold land of the Northern Dynasty to pick up the people of the old Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and a total of more than 100,000 people moved to settle in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Eastern Zhou Kingdom was sacked by the previous war, and Beigong Zheng led the old people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to build projects and settle the fields.
When the news reached the prison of the Northern Dynasties, the 50,000 captured soldiers were moved to tears when they saw the king settle his family. Then he wrote to the king: I am willing to crusade against the barbarian clan of Xiyi for the benevolent monarch.
When the king of the Northern Dynasty heard this, he ordered General Yan to lead more than 50,000 people from the three armies and the old soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to attack the Xiyi State.
Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world, and the Northern Korean army is like a bamboo, recapturing Yicheng on the border of the Northern Dynasties. The Xiyi army fled in a hurry without a fight and fled back to the territory.
When the king heard the good news of the victory, he sent someone to make a pilgrimage to the government of the northern palace.
Beigong Zheng arrived at the main hall.
The king said happily: "Aiqing's plan is really good! The Beigong family has a descendant like you, which is really a blessing for the Beigong family, and it is also a blessing for the Northern Dynasty! ”
The king praised Beigong Zheng at this time.
"The king praised, the victory in this battle is the credit of General Yan, Ziheng does not dare to rob the general's credit!" Beigong Zhengshi replied.
"Aiqing is humble!" The king said.
"General Yan has always been brave and good at fighting, and Weichen thought that General Yan was the most suitable to stay in Fancheng, the national capital, to protect the king's safety. In the land of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, another candidate should be found from the three armies to guard the land of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. As for the border land of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Dynasties, the king Da Ke ordered the old soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty who had made meritorious contributions to the crusade against Xiyi to guard the border, so that they could guard the border for the king, and secondly, it could show that the king rewarded the meritorious people. Beigong Zheng said as slowly as possible.
When Beigong Zheng said this, he didn't want General Yan's power to expand further.
After hearing this, the king nodded silently, in fact, as the king of a country, how could he not know that the ministers of the country had too much power, and they would eventually threaten his truth.
"Then Aiqing has a good plan for managing the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?" The king wants to hear about Beigong Zheng
"Now that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has just experienced a war, in addition to stabilizing people's livelihood, settling farm houses, and building projects, we also have to pay attention to etiquette and music. Set up schools in the local areas and let them learn the principles of the five constants—benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith. To make polite and humble manners prevail in order to educate the people. If you do this, you will not be afraid of bad governance of the world. After Beigong Zheng finished speaking, his eyes showed a confident brilliance.
"Aiqing is reasonable, just do it!" The king finally replied.
The next day, the king summoned and rewarded the meritorious soldiers, and handed over the task of rectifying the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to Beigong Zheng.
After General Yan returned from the victory, the power of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had been lost to him.
This crisis has passed, and the Northern Korean army has won a great victory, and this victory is the happiest for the princess.
Because she finally didn't have to go to kiss, Beigong Zheng made a meritorious contribution this time, and everyone in the entire Northern Dynasty knew about it.
But the princess just knew that it was the people from Xiangguofu who came up with a plan to save her this time, but she didn't know that this plan was made by His Royal Highness the Prince.
Therefore, Princess Yongning likes the people of Xiangguofu more at this time, more precisely, she prefers Brother Zimo.
But sometimes, it is fate that makes people, and Princess Yongning's happiness at the moment does not know that her fate will have a great relationship with this matter in the future.
And Beigong Zheng didn't know that the people he saved today would have a great relationship with him in the future, and even became a pain in his heart.
