After all, China is a country of etiquette, which has been a habit since ancient times.

And in the upper echelons of Chinese history, there has always been an unwritten rule.

That is, they believe that if they want to truly rule a certain region, or let it have a sense of belonging to themselves, then the best way should be to use both grace and power.

In other words, it is necessary to suppress it by force, to make everyone feel hopeless, so that they do not have any heart to resist again.

But at the same time, we must also know how to show grace, and let them know that the rule of Huaxia is the best choice for them, and only Huaxia can bring them honor, happiness, and pride.

Well, it's a bit too much, throughout the ages, whether it is the mainland or other regions, if you really want to rule a region, and you can still rule for a long time, you mainly look at three points, force, benevolent government, and full food, all three are indispensable.

Liu Ju does not belong to the real high-level, some advanced culture, he is not qualified to learn.

But this is only before, the generals of the early Tang Dynasty had a characteristic, both civil and military.

Wu Ke led his troops to fight, and Wen Ke governed the place.

Although the civil and military families have now separated, in fact, if they want to achieve a real separation, they still need more time to digest.

At least, it will not be until the current generation is completely old that the separation of civil and military families will be preliminarily completed.

However, the separation of civil and military does not mean that military generals do not have to worry about civil affairs.

On the contrary, they still have to manage and consider, but the angle and starting point of considering the problem are different from before.

In the past, it was the seed that I planted, and I came to harvest the fruit by myself, whether it was a sweet fruit or a bitter fruit, depending on how I planted it and what seed I planted.

Now it is the military to plant the seed in the future, and the civil official will be responsible for the maintenance and harvesting of the fruit in the middle and later stages, as for the requirements, it is very simple, before the civil official takes over, at least it needs to be ensured that the seed is not broken.

In other words, Datang has higher requirements for military generals.

Low-level generals aside, if a military general wants to step onto a higher stage and take on more responsibilities, he needs to consider more problems.

Liu Ji knew very well that Huang Hui did not see the problem, and in Huang Hui's heart, it was not that there was no way.

But he just didn't say it, but gave the power to himself.

For himself, this is a good thing, an opportunity, if he can do a good job, then the position of military commander, there must be one of his own, which is the benefit of being the first echelon.

And if he messes up, of course, it's impossible to mess up, Huang Hui came with a piece of purpose is to make up for the pot, once the situation exceeds Huang Hui's expectations, he will not hesitate to take over everything here, but at the same time, Liu Ju will also completely lose the opportunity to be promoted to army commander, and even, how long can this division commander be? It's all unknown.

Opportunity, pressure, and the coexistence of the two, which made Liu Ju dare not be careless.

It is not clear to what extent the order can be done quickly, but at least it can be close to the possible reduction of losses.

But this is only an actual loss, for the Tang Army, the impact is there, but it is not the most important.

For the whole night, Liu Ju sat on the ground in a daze, the brazier in the tent had long been extinguished, and the fire outside slightly illuminated the tent, and there were soldiers who were on guard and were stepping up their work everywhere.

All night, Liu Ju didn't close his eyes once, and his mind kept thinking about this matter, thinking about how he should solve the problem.

And what made Liu Ju most helpless was that he couldn't give any advice on this issue when he joined the army.

Because joining the army only gives advice on the military side, such as this kind of obviously leaning towards the political side, joining the army is now also a two-headed problem, which is not what they are good at at all.

The next morning, it was just dawning.

There was an occasional flash of fire in the distance, but it was not dense and quickly disappeared, and when the sky was completely bright, even the smoke from the fire was gone.

Liu Ju knew very well in his heart that he had to make a decision as soon as possible, whether the decision was good or bad, right or wrong, he had to make a statement.

Whether it can play a role is another matter for the time being, at least they can't be led by the nose by the other party like this, which will make them fall into greater passivity.

"How many captives do we have?" Walking out of the camp tent, he saw that the commander of the army was standing at the door of the camp tent and didn't know what to think, Liu Ju asked directly.

"Less than three thousand!" The chief of staff thought for a moment and gave an approximate number.

"Divide these captives into three categories, ordinary, attempted arson, and arson." Liu Ju decided to make a fuss about these captives, this is the method he has been thinking about all night, and the way to do it for himself is the best way to do it other than force.

Of course, it is not clear whether it is beneficial or not, but at least it does not hurt.

This night also made Liu Ju understand a problem, the key to this battle is to include Jeju in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, more than 100,000 people on the island, it is impossible to kill all of them, which is not good for the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, we can only win people's hearts, let them have a sense of belonging to Datang, and then completely absorb them and assimilate them through immigration.

For Datang, there is no psychological pressure at all, and they also have a lot of experience when they do this kind of thing.

Let's just say that Datang, now there are Yamato women, Turkic women, etc., there are men, and occasionally there are people who can marry Datang women, but the difficulty is still relatively large, and it is not realistic, and no one wants to marry.

But this does not hinder the integration of ethnic groups, in short, it is the Han nationality that grows in the end.

And to do the above, you must first let the people here completely accept the Tang Dynasty, at least not disgusted, if you can't do this, everything else can be goodbye without mentioning.

"Let go of all the ordinary people, give them seven days' rations as compensation, and tell them that they are free to go wherever they want after that, and Datang will not interfere with them, but this is just as a common people, if they want to stand on the opposite side of Datang, then they can only wait for the butcher's knife of the Tang army.

Those who attempt to set fire to the fire are sentenced to five days' hard labor and taken to work on the wharf, and as punishment, they are allowed to leave on their own after the end of the hard work.

And those who set fires were sentenced to one month of hard labor...... "Liu Ju made different punishments for the three categories of prisoners.

The purpose is very simple, that is, I hope that these prisoners who were directly released can tell them about the situation of the Tang army when they meet other Tamna people after leaving.

There is no leakage of numbers and secrets, but Liu Yu just wants to let them know the elite of the Tang Army, and only in this way can they realize that the Tang Army is invincible.

Letting them go and returning the rations was a manifestation of the Tang army's kindness, which could offset the resistance of the Tamluo people to the Tang army to the greatest extent.

And when the group of people who attempted arson are let go, it will be the real highlight.

At this time, everyone will understand a truth, Tang Jun is true to his word, for ordinary people, who does not belong to? Under Baekje, their lives were not good, so what difference did it make under the Tang army? Moreover, the Tang army's force is much stronger than Baekje, and with the comparison between the two one after the other, normal people will make the right choice.

As for why it's five days, the reason is very simple, after five days, it may not be Liu who said that this is the case.

……

"What? You're going to let us go? When the interpreter conveyed Liu's order to the captives, the captives who had just started because they were slow to run, or who had not had time to escape, were instantly shocked and full of disbelief.

"Why let us go? Is it because we eat too much? In this way, we can eat just one meal a day. Someone immediately complained.

"yes, or give us two meals and then don't give us any food for three days, why let us go?" There is more than one voice of opposition.

And this result in front of them was obviously not expected by the interpreters and officers, who had thought a lot about the results, how happy these people would be to learn that they would be released, and how to remind them so that they would not dare to forget what they were going to say next.

But......

The only thing that Temeow didn't think about was that these people didn't want to leave at all.

The Tang Army's food was three meals a day, but for these prisoners, it was not so good, the first thing to reduce was from three meals a day to two meals a day, and the second thing to reduce was the number of each meal.

The Tang Army has combat missions, and their standards are like that, no one dares to reduce it privately, unless it really comes to the point when the ammunition is exhausted.

And what was given to these prisoners was taken out of the baggage of the Tang army, and the number of each meal was only half of that of a soldier of the Tang army.

But this alone made these captives feel extremely satisfied.

Although the productivity is low, the grain production is actually not low.

But it can't stand the lack of people, and most of the grain is transported to Baekje, this is the fate of being ruled, and it is said to be subsidiary, but in fact it is no different from colonization.

Because of the proximity, because he is too weak, he does not have any say in this regard.

Is it true that Tamna doesn't have an army? Did Tamna really admit it?

No, there were still more than 2,000 troops in Tamna before, but they were wiped out in one day by the 1,000 men of Baekje, and then that's it.

Everyone didn't expect that these captives would rely on them, and would rather reduce their daily food than leave, but Tang Jun is not a charity, and he didn't let them go because of supply problems, the translator just said with a straight face: "Listen, now that the problem has been investigated clearly, you, as ordinary people, have not done anything against Datang, and Datang is also deeply guilty about it, so give each of you seven days' rations as compensation, Datang will not let go of a bad person, and will not wronged a good person, After leaving, I hope you can live a good life and don't get involved in certain things, otherwise, it will only make it difficult for Datang......"
