Chapter 666: Crossing the sea and heading south

Of the 100,000 Turks brought back from this expedition, 40,000 were distributed to the 12,000 soldiers who went out on the expedition, and the 4,000 soldiers who died in battle also received a share, and their families inherited the spoils. The 39,000 soldiers who stayed behind were also given 20,000 slaves, more than 20,000 horses and money.

The remaining 40,000 Turkic captives were all reduced to official slaves of the Jiedu Embassy, and arranged to work in various tuntians, minerals, and workshops.

The cattle, horses, camels, etc., which were brought back, were basically distributed in this way.

No one felt how pitiful these Turks were, and no one thought it was so inhumane, after all, before the arrival of the Turkic captives, there were already hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo slaves in the six counties of Andong Province, and there were hundreds of thousands of Han people in the Central Plains who were exiled to the criminals, and none of them were free people.

But even so, they still have a chain of contempt.

The Han refugees looked down on the Goguryeo slaves, after all, they were Han people, although they had no free identity in Liaodong, but Luo Cheng still treated them differently, they could not divide the land for the time being, but they were tenant farmers of the official land, and they planted the official land, handed over the land rent, and as long as the tenant was ten years later, they were granted land and land.

And the Goguryeo slaves are not so good, they are slaves, if there is a woman in the family who marries a Han soldier as a concubine, it is a little better, and the Tuntian slave who is a government soldier is treated a little better. If there is no woman in the family to give the Han soldiers as concubines, then they can only be ordinary tuntian slaves, and they can only leave a very small proportion of the harvest in the tuntian, which is far from the proportion of homeless tenant farmers.

Ten years later, the displaced people could divide their land and become free people, but after ten years, they could only enjoy the treatment of the displaced people as tenant farmers.

However, the Turks were inferior because they were all prisoners of war.

Even the Goguryeo nu looked down on them.

However, among the Goguryeo people, the Goguryeo official slaves despised the Goguryeo private slaves, because the official slaves were definitely freer than the private slaves. Of course, there are also some Goguryeo people who feel that it is actually not bad to be the private slaves of the government soldiers, because if there are women in the family who marry the government soldiers, they have the Han government soldiers to rely on, which is better than those Goguryeo slaves in the official workshops of the official fields.

Now there are 51,000 soldiers in Liaodong, each of whom has a lot of fields at home, and there are cattle and horses to cultivate, as well as Goguryeo concubines, Han homeless concubines, Goguryeo slaves, and Turkic slaves.

In particular, this feeling of being a superior person is not something that can be enjoyed casually in the Central Plains in the past.

However, Luo Cheng sometimes has a kind of worry, Yuwentai's government military system back then created a strong Guanlong military aristocratic group, and the set of things he is doing now will form a powerful Liao military landlord group in the future?

He smiled bitterly, but sometimes, many things can't go against the trend, and when the trend rises, they can only go along and can't go against it.

Now he knows that if he Luo Cheng wants to be able to gain a foothold, what he can rely on is these brothers under him, but in order for these people to support him, he must give them enough benefits, but while these interests strengthen them, they will also bind him.

The emperor is now trapped in the palace, and it can even be said that he is isolated from the inside and outside.

Whether the emperor is already decadent, or the traitors are deliberately blocking it, it doesn't matter, anyway, the Great Sui is going to be finished. The once diligent and idealistic emperor is now deposed, he is depressed and only knows how to escape.

Luo Cheng believes that if the emperor wants to have a little bit of enterprising, it is impossible to let a few prime ministers cover him, in fact, this is just the result of the emperor's own intentional evasion.

He didn't want to take care of political affairs anymore, he didn't want to hear all kinds of news of rebellion, and he even wanted to escape, he wanted to go to Yangzhou, the south of the Yangtze River, where he had stayed for nine years, to be quiet and quiet, and as for the huge crisis caused by this, he was not aware of it at all.

Now the four traitors are in power.

They took the place of the emperor and gave orders and handled government affairs.

Several prime ministers don't like Luo Cheng, but they are also afraid of Luo Cheng's fame and power, so now both sides are considered to be well water and river water, and they both know what the other party is doing, but they all pretend not to see it.

Luo Cheng pretended not to know that the four traitorous ministers were stealing power and playing politics, and the four ministers also pretended not to know that Luo Cheng was acting arbitrarily in Liaodong and engaging in these nonsense things.

Everyone does not interfere with the river water, you are your prime minister, Luo Cheng is his festival envoy, and everything is fine.

In fact, the savings of the Great Sui Dynasty for decades are powerful, but unfortunately now the center is broken, so there is a strong body, but it is already stiff and chaotic.

Luo Cheng sometimes thinks that if he plays the banner of the Qing monarch at this time and leads his troops into the south, can he rebuild the Great Sui?

He thought about it and thought it was unlikely.

The key is still the emperor, if the emperor's brain is broken, if he raises an army, I am afraid that he will only be put in the name of a rebellion, and then loyal people and ambitious people from all over the world are estimated to rise up and attack him.

With tens of thousands of horses and horses in the loyal army, can he be the enemy of the whole world and win?

Difficult.

It is estimated that even the heir may not support him, and maybe even Li Jing and Xue Shixiong will intercept and crusade against him.

Therefore, Luo Cheng is unwilling to do this kind of thing, at least, there is still time to develop, and he is not in a hurry to raise troops.

It's better to develop yourself with peace of mind and accumulate strength as it is now.

Some diseases are indeed not broken or standing.

Of course, if the four traitors dare to think of him and do the slightest thing to take away his military power and foundation, he Luo Cheng will have no choice but to raise troops to clear the king's side.

That's the bottom line.

The Central Plains was in turmoil, but Luo Cheng was helpless.

Originally, he wanted to invite Zhang Xutuo to come to Liaodong, but he didn't expect that this teacher was really loyal to the Great Sui, and even if he was seriously injured, he still insisted on staying in Henan.

He is also paying close attention to the situation in Henan now, and it is greatly unexpected that Li Mi can get up so quickly. Originally, he thought that Li Mi's core strength in history, the core of Wagangzhai was in his hands, so Li Mi could not have a chance to be the leader of the Central Plains Alliance again.

But who would have thought that taking advantage of the siege of Yanmen, Li Mi actually helped Meng Rang, and then borrowed a little of his men and horses to run to the Central Plains again, and then there was still a rumor.

And Wang Shichong had also been transferred to Jiangnan Province before, and was not in Huainan, but in the end, he was still arranged by the four traitors to Henan to crusade against Li Mi.

Was this destined in a previous life?

And after receiving Wang Junkuo's story about his father's self-protection in the four counties of Shandong, Luo Cheng could only laugh, no one could imagine that his father still had such courage.

"Summoning the three brothers Xue Wanjun!"

"Dashuai!"

Wanjun, Wan Shu, and Wanbei came over, and Luo Cheng looked at the three young people, the five brothers of the Xue family, known as the five tigers of the Xue family. Now the boss Wanshu is by Xue Shixiong's side, the second lady is 30,000 old, the old 40,000 is full of 50,000 people, and they are all in Luo Chengjun.

The old 40,000 are the fiercest, and now they are the generals in the heavy cavalry.

"I'll give you a mission, take 3,000 men and horses from Lushun ice-free port to the south, and land in Dalaoshan Bay, Gaomi County, to support my father."

3,000 men and horses, consisting of 1,000 Liaodong soldiers, 1,000 Tiele cavalry, 1,000 Turkic cavalry, and 3,000 light cavalry sailed south. These are not loyal army soldiers, they can only be regarded as local Tutuan and township soldiers, although they are still out of bounds, but in the current situation, Luo Cheng doesn't care much about those, as long as the headquarters of the loyal army does not go south, I believe that the imperial court will not be too staring, after all, he is also to protect the territory and suppress bandits.

The three brothers were a little surprised.

"You've been with me for years, and now you're all experienced in a lot of battles, so it's time for you to go out and practice."

Previously, Luo Cheng had already sent the three brothers Kan Leng, Wang Xiongdan, and Ximen Junyi to Jiangnan Du Fuwei's side, otherwise he would definitely send Sanyizi this time. Now I have to choose the three tigers of the Xue family.
