The Tang Empire's strategy against the Goryeo Peninsula, judging from the recent confrontations in the court, has actually been decided, and the final plan has been decided!

Completely eliminate the resistance forces on the Goryeo Peninsula militarily, including the remnants of the puppet Myeonghye King and the remnants of the Lee dynasty on the Goryeo Peninsula, first crush their main forces in one fell swoop through several large-scale battles, especially the remnants of the puppet Myeonghye King, and then slowly clean up the remnants of the resistance on the historical dynasty of the Goryeo Peninsula.

This was a military arrangement, and politically, it was to divide the Goryeo Peninsula into four provinces, Namgang Province, Bac Gang Province, Donggang Province, and Bac Gang Province, all of which were under the jurisdiction of Liaodong Province.

After joining these four prefectures, Liaodong Province has become the largest province in the empire, but the number of people is not large.

The reason why the Goryeo Peninsula was not set up as a separate province was naturally to better integrate this area into it.

In addition to preparing for the intermarriage policy, the cabinet is also preparing to actively relocate landless peasants from the interior to the four prefectures of the Goryeo Peninsula, and at the same time, it will also start to emigrate the natives of the Goryeo Peninsula to the vast northeastern border area, and organize the migration of the natives of the Goryeo Peninsula to overseas, especially the Ryukyu Province in the east, the Osumi Islands, and even Fuso in the future, which can be used to arrange for them.

Basically, it can be regarded as the Tang Dynasty's preparation for a major change of blood for the permanent population of the Goryeo Peninsula, and the cabinet's goal is to make the proportion of the local population reach more than 20 percent of the population in the interior within five years after the conquest of the Goryeo Peninsula, and more than half of the population within ten years.

Twenty years from now, there will be no native, alien people in the whole of Korea!

From military to political, the Tang Empire has already formulated a complete set of plans for the Goryeo Peninsula, and now, it is time to implement the plan.

Although Kang Gaozhi didn't know what the bigwigs in Jinling City thought, he also knew that the bigwigs of the military were in the consultation meeting between the cabinet and the military, and he didn't know if they were disgusted by Liu Bagou's civilian officials, but patting the table, the military would definitely complete the combat mission on the Goryeo Peninsula to ensure that the Goryeo Peninsula, which would be handed over to the cabinet in a few months, would be a peaceful and not much resistance that would allow the cabinet to govern calmly.

The bigwigs above made a commitment to the cabinet, and this pressure was naturally passed down layer by layer, and finally passed to Kang Gaozhi's side.

Kang Gaozhi received an order from the military headquarters of the Sixth Army stationed in Liaodong, and the military headquarters ordered him to enter the Goryeo Peninsula, in addition to annihilating the remnants of the puppet Ming Hui Wang, he should also use flexible and efficient methods to eliminate any resistance on the Goryeo Peninsula, so as to create good conditions for the subsequent entry of the local yamen!

Seeing this order, Kang Gaozhi knew that he might not be able to be idle this time, and his 15th Infantry Division was estimated to be also idle, and after the battle of Liujing, it was estimated that he would have to disperse his troops to various cities and important places on the peninsula, and then gradually clear them.

Gradually clean up, although this kind of thing will not be risky on the whole, but it is too trivial and very troublesome.

This can be seen from the fact that when the colleagues carried out the suppression of bandits in other provinces in the interior.

Naturally, those bandits can't fight the regular army, and even the local reserve divisions can easily pick them up, but they will never fight you head-on.

People are not stupid, they will run and hide!

As a result, most of the reserve divisions and a small number of regular troops in charge of the task of suppressing bandits are chasing those bandits, and it is easy to go up and down the mountains and rivers, and the more serious ones have begun to go into the deep mountains and old forests to track down and encircle and suppress the bandits.

Interestingly, after this happened, the military department found that the vast majority of the troops had no problem fighting large-scale campaigns at all, but when it started these fragmentary encirclement and suppression operations, they were a little shrunken and did not perform well, except for one part of the troops that performed well!

That was the Fourth Infantry Division, and later the military simply transferred a large number of officers and non-commissioned officers from the Fourth Infantry Division and assigned them to other units responsible for suppressing bandits.

The Fourth Infantry Division, this unit in the Tang Dynasty military, in fact, has always had a sense of existence is not very strong, although its number ranks fourth, but the overall strength is estimated to be in the top ten, and the number of heavy weapons is not as large as the 15th Infantry Division.

Because this army has always been trapped in the quagmire of Yunnan and Guizhou, in the early years, it has been fighting with the Ming army in Yunnan, and it took several years to kill the Ming army, and then tried to chase the remnants of the Ming army into Burma, but the environment in the broken place of Burma is even worse, resulting in too many non-combat injuries, and the three thousand soldiers who entered the pursuit of Burma fell ill in just half a year, and finally had no choice but to withdraw back.

The Burma pursuit battle, this can be regarded as one of the few defeats in the history of the Tang Army's many years of conquest, 3,000 people went out, and less than 2,000 people came back alive in the end.

What's more, they have never fought a single large-scale battle with the enemy.

Almost all casualties are caused by disease!

However, many years of scattered operations in the Yunnan-Guizhou region and the enemy's jungle and mountainous areas have also given the Fourth Infantry Division rich experience in jungle and mountainous areas and small-scale battles.

This is also the reason why the military headquarters will transfer the officers of the 4th Infantry Division to other anti-bandit units!

Now Kang Gaozhi is about to face the problem, although it is not the same as other troops in the country, but there are similarities, the follow-up is to suppress bandits, and the northern part of Korea is mountainous and the natural environment is harsh!

However, even in the face of these problems, Kang Gaozhi did not dare to show the slightest timidity!

He didn't want his superiors to think that he was a man who was afraid of challenges, he had just become the commander of the 15th Infantry Division, and he didn't want to be removed from his post soon.

was removed when he was just promoted, and he will be completely beaten into the cold palace just like his predecessor!

Recently, he heard that the previous division commander who was squeezed out by him at the beginning had served in the Privy Council of Jinling City for a few months, and then he was sent to Guangxi to take up the post of provincial garrison commander.

Provincial garrison commander, this is a new position that only appeared in the Tang Dynasty a year ago, and the background of the emergence is that the number of reserve divisions in each province has grown from small to large, and now basically every province will have more than two reserve divisions.

In addition, the local militia organizations are also developing rapidly, and according to the instructions of the military department, every town must prepare a militia unit, and each village can be decided by the local government according to the situation.

In this way, the total number of militias will be very large, and in order to better manage and requisition these militias in times of emergency, a management body is also needed.

In the past, it was the military that set up militia headquarters in the provinces, but now, the aftermath bureau has simply integrated the military and political departments in the local areas and set up garrison headquarters in the provinces.

It is mainly responsible for the daily management and operational command of the reserve division and militia units, the placement of retired soldiers, and the aftermath of casualties!

Looking at it this way, it may seem that there is a lot of power on the surface, but as long as you look at the people who the garrison commanders of the provinces are, you will know that it doesn't matter if they are heavy, the garrison commanders of the provinces are almost all losers competing for the main infantry division or other major important positions, and there is another point, although the current garrison commanders of the provinces are all hanging with the rank of major general, but none of them have the title of nobleman!

To put it bluntly, in fact, this position is used for retirement, and if nothing else, they will not have the opportunity to return to the Privy Council or the field forces in their lives.

The Tang Army has developed for so many years, even if it was just a grass team at the beginning, but now it has formed a complete set of systems, in this system, if you want to quickly climb to the top and make contributions, the way is actually very simple and clear.

That is, in the field unit and the combat department to rotate posts, the martial arts hall first served as an ordinary platoon commander, captain or something, then entered the imperial academy, and then entered the combat department as a staff officer, and then transferred to the field unit as a battalion commander, deputy regiment commander, regiment commander, and then rotated to the combat department to serve as a senior combat staff officer and other important positions.

When it comes out again, it will basically be a brigadier general position such as deputy division commander or division chief of staff, and after the transition, it will compete for the position of commander of the main infantry division.

In this way, the promotion is relatively fast, and the resume is quite perfect, and after leading the troops to win a few battles and make meritorious achievements, you can look forward to becoming a candidate for army commander.

Of course, this road is the fastest, the easiest, and the most competitive, because everyone knows that this way is the fastest, and everyone is fighting.

There are many middle- and low-level officers in the military, but there are only 16 main infantry divisions in total, which is why I think that there are only 16 division commander positions in the main infantry division, and more than half of them are occupied by a few generals with old qualifications and outstanding military achievements.

And for newcomers, there are very few places left!

Sometimes, there are only two or three division commanders vacant in a year, but there are dozens of major generals and brigadier generals competing for this purpose!

In this case, it is either by relying on real combat exploits, or by relying on a perfect resume and luck!

Kang Gaozhi belongs to the latter, he has no military achievements, relying on his almost perfect resume and old qualifications, of course, luck is also very important.

When he got up like this, naturally many people were not convinced, I don't know how many pairs of eyes stared at him, waiting for him to make a mistake, and then pulled him down to sit on the throne of the division by himself!
