Chapter 522: Secession of Liaodong
After Liaodong City was broken by the emperor himself, it was renamed Xiangping.
Liaodong, in the Warring States period belongs to the Yan land, the historical records of the Xiongnu biography records, Yan also built the Great Wall, since the creation of Yang to Xiangping.
Standing on this Xiongcheng that had just been restored, Wei Zheng introduced Luo Cheng, "During the Warring States Period, King Ji of Yan Zhao of Yan State placed Liaodong County, and the county governed Xiangping, which was this city. When the Western Jin Dynasty was changed to Liaodong Kingdom, the county was restored, and the end of the Sixteen Kingdoms was occupied by Goguryeo at the end of the Yan Dynasty, until now, and finally recovered for my Han family. ”
After Qin unified the world, Liaodong County was established, and there were eighteen counties at that time.
"This is a piece of fertile soil, you see this is the most fertile Liaohe Plain, as long as the river is dredged and the channel is excavated, it can irrigate the countless plains on both sides of the Liaohe River, making it a big granary." Luo Cheng also sighed.
Wei Zheng told Luo Cheng about a big battle at this time, intentionally or unintentionally.
"It was in the Three Kingdoms, Xiangping encountered an unprecedented tragic battle, led by Sima Yi Cao Wei's army, long to 4,000 miles, went to Liaodong, to conquer the rebellious and rebellious at that time, and established himself as the king of Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Yuan."
"I seem to have read this history, but I don't remember it clearly, tell me about it."
The Battle of Xiangping is also a very famous battle in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
At that time, Sima Yi waved his army on an expedition, with 40,000 troops, approaching 4,000 li, but the battle completely eradicated the power of the Gongsun family, so that Cao Wei permanently solved the troubles and completely unified the north.
In this battle, Sima Yi's use of troops, both in strategy and tactics, can be called a model of expeditionary battles in the history of ancient military warfare.
"At that time, the Liaodong Gongsun clan was reigned by Gongsun Yuan, who was the most ambitious of the four generations of monarchs of the Liaodong Gongsun clan. When Gongsun Yuan ascended the throne, the situation under the world was the north-south confrontation between the Wei State and the Wu Shu Alliance, although the Wei State in the Central Plains was the nominal suzerainty of Liaodong, but the Gongsun clan had always controlled Liaodong and got out of it. ”
"After the three dynasties, the national strength accumulated by the predecessors, and the stalemate between the north and the south at that time just provided space for Gongsun Yuan's ambition to show, he tried to find the right and left, in order to make profits between the three kingdoms, and it happened that Sun Quan of Eastern Wu also wanted to stick a knife in Cao Wei's back and use the Liaodong of Gongsun to threaten it."
It is precisely because of this that after Gongsun Yuan ascended the throne, there was frequent contact between Liaodong and Eastern Wu, and Cao Wei certainly did not want to see Liaodong break away from him and become a threat, but at that time, the main concentration of Wei was still concentrated in the Qishan and Huainan battlefields, and there was no spare strength to deal with Liaodong.
It wasn't until the Gongyuan clan completely rebelled that Emperor Wei Ming had to decide to kill the Gong's grandson first.
Emperor Wei Ming chose Sima Yi to lead an expedition of 40,000 troops, Sima Yi used his troops like a god, he avoided the real and attacked the weak, not only showed weakness to stabilize the enemy's heart, so as to encircle, but also fought bloody battles to break its sharpness, and collected the enemy's merits.
Luo Cheng knew the Battle of Xiangping, or because he had read the Zizhi Tongjian of the *** commentary, this battle was the battle of the Three Kingdoms period with the most circles in his circle, and it was also an important battle to achieve reunification.
Until the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xianbei Murong clan finally fell to Goguryeo until now.
Whether it was the Gongsun clan back then, or the Murong clan later, they had occupied Liaodong for a long time, but they could only live in a corner during the strongest period.
After more than 200 years of rule by the Goguryeo people, the entire Liaodong has changed greatly, and it is not easy to establish rule here, and it is even more difficult if a general like Luo Cheng wants to divide Liaodong.
Wei Zheng reminded Luo Cheng that there was a risk in secession, and said that the king needed to be cautious.
It was late October.
Luo Cheng has returned to Liaodong for more than a month, and after Li Yuan's resignation was submitted to the emperor, it was finally passed, and Li Yuan returned to Beijing as he wished, but he did not become the secretary of Honglu Temple, but became a young eunuch in the palace.
Xincheng County was vacant, and in the end it was taken over by Hou Mo Chen Yi.
Everything was as Luo Cheng expected.
Before the first frost, a total of about 100,000 people were exiled from the Central Plains, of which about 30,000 were young and strong, and about 200,000 prisoners were taken from Liaodong.
In terms of garrisons, Liaodong County now has 36,000 garrisons, Lushun County 12,000, Jian'an County 12,000, Xincheng County 24,000, and Liucheng and Liaoxi each 12,000.
The six counties outside the Guanhai garrison had a total of 100,000 and 4,000 troops.
Among them, there are 60,000 soldiers and more than 40,000 auxiliary soldiers.
Before the frost fell, Luo Cheng inspected and supervised the counties, and finally grabbed the winter wheat to plant.
According to his arrangement in Lushun, Luo Cheng divided the land of each county, and each soldier stationed in the county was given 100 acres of Yongye field, and the other field was used as a military tun, as well as a public office field, a post field, etc.
Now all counties are facing the same problem, with fewer people and more land.
Therefore, although it is roughly divided, it can only be coarsely cultivated, simply ploughed, and then the seeds are sown, and there is no effort and no manual intensive cultivation, and even the canals can only be planted and repaired.
The yield of such a seed must be low, and it can only be widely planted and harvested, but there is no way, it is better than being wasted.
However, in general, the soldiers were allocated so much land, even if there was no harvest for the time being, but the army was much more stable.
Even those exiled criminals, as well as those captives, are now equivalent to tenants, tenant soldiers' permanent fields, tenant fields, and office fields, although fifty percent of the rent is a lot, but they are not good citizens now, and they do not need to pay regular rents, and if there is no other levy, they can still live.
The Sui army in Liaodong was busy farming and cultivating the land, and the Goguryeo people now retreated to the castle in the mountains of Liaodong, and the well water on both sides did not interfere with the river water, which was relatively peaceful.
But everyone knows that this tranquility will not last long.
"It's going to snow."
"Well, it won't be long before the Liao River will freeze."
"The garrisons of the counties and the tunbao of the displaced people have repaired the dragon fire kang, and we must store more firewood, otherwise this heavy snow will freeze for thousands of miles, and the cold of Liaodong will freeze to death."
"Please rest assured, I've been catching this every day lately. I'm still more worried about the Goguryeo people, I'm afraid that they will go out at this time. ”
"If only we didn't go and beat them, they dared to come and hit us? Besides, even if I come, I am not afraid, anyway, our soldiers and civilians are staying in the city and the fort, and the only thing I am worried about is the food problem. There will be no more food supply in the near future. The two counties west of the Liaohe River are okay, they already have a lot of grain in stock, and they are close to Guannai, but we, the four counties in Liaodong, have to rely on ourselves, and it hasn't snowed yet, so I think we should find a way to get more food. Luo Chengdao.
"How?"
"How about taking down Anshi Castle before it snows, it is said that there is a lot of grain stored there." Luo Cheng said with a smile.
