The Andong Counterinsurgency War, which began in March this year, ended temporarily with the signing of the armistice treaty between Yi Yu and Silla. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi Liyuan, the governor of the palace and the current head of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, finally lived up to Li Yu's expectations, not only handling the government affairs of the eastern Liaodong region in an orderly manner. After the pacification of the area south of Ap Shui Shui, the government officials of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate were ordered by Li Yu to move the administrative office from Anshi to Pyongyang, and began to establish the local ruling institutions in the area south of Ap Lun Shui.

The newly recovered four major metropolitan governors of Andong were relocated to prefectures and counties in imitation of the local ruling structure of the Tang Dynasty, and officials were selected.

In view of the fact that the talents originally recruited by the Yanwang Mansion were all sent to serve as officials in various prefectures and counties in eastern Liaodong, and there was a scarcity of talents to govern the local area at present, so the local ruling institutions could only be put up first, and the garrison generals were temporarily appointed to serve as local officials.

Zhang Wengxi, who was sent back to Chang'an to report the victory, had just arrived in Chang'an according to the time, but good news came back from Youzhou. On the way back, according to Xue Jun's strategy, Zhang Wenxi continued to convey the news of the shortage of officials in dozens of prefectures and counties in Andong and the king of Yan seeking talents.

Those scholars who were studying hard at home to participate in the imperial examination, as soon as they heard the news, they were like hungry wolves smelling meat and preparing to set off. Youzhou Shizi, who was the first to get the news, rode a horse on the way to Pyongyang.

Li Yu estimated that in another ten days, the first batch of scholars would arrive in Pyongyang to alleviate the current demand for local officials.

The war is over, and now is the time for Li Yu to reward the soldiers for their meritorious deeds.

The officers who participated in the war were promoted and appointed by Li Yu on his own, but the officers who were looking forward to the officers could only record the merits of the meritorious soldiers in writing and then report them to the imperial court, and the imperial court would determine the reward.

In this counterinsurgency war, which lasted nearly a year, Li Yu's command suffered heavy casualties.

In several major battles before and after, the total number of casualties reached more than 13,500, of which more than 10,000 were recruited Liaodong soldiers.

Li Yu had to rejoice that he had recruited the Chinese in Liaodong as soldiers before launching the decisive battle to quell the Goguryeo rebellion, otherwise it would be difficult for Li Yu to suffer such heavy casualties.

In addition to a reward of military merit, the soldiers were mainly given land in the Andong region promised before the war.

Goguryeo has gone through decades of wars, especially after the fall of Goguryeo, rebellions one after another, and then to this year's large-scale counterinsurgency war.

Goguryeo, which once had a population of more than 3,485,000, was in addition to more than 500,000 people who were forcibly relocated to the mainland by the Tang Dynasty. There were also the former Goguryeo civilians and captives who were taken by Silla during the war. The people of Quanjeong-gun, Bilekhu-gun, Gryonseong-gun, Huyang-gun, Cheolwon-gun, Dahu-gun, Garo-gun, Yanggu-gun, Suchon-gun, and Bukhansan gun, which were incorporated into the southeastern part of Goguryeo, Silla. In addition, since the end of the battle of the Lulu River, the Ansun tribes who have rushed into Silla have rushed in. The population of Goguryeo, which was incorporated into Silla, was as high as 400,000.

At present, the population of the five prefectures in Liaodong is only more than 1.15 million, the population of the prefecture of Gebe, where the domestic city is located, is about 400,000, and there are more than 200,000 people in the prefecture of Dongzha Prefecture, which has never been captured by the rebels. The current population of the two governorates of Pyongyang and Seoul has not yet been counted.

Li Yu estimated that the population of the former Goguryeo had lost more than 1.4 million, and the area east of the Liao River and south of the Yalushui River was full of abandoned land, empty villages, and many abandoned towns.

As the long history of managing civil affairs, Li Element previously measured the idle and ownerless land of the five governors of Liaodong, and all of them were collected by Andong Protectorate.

Li Yu relied on this part of the land in his hands as a reward for his subordinates.

The five people with the heaviest military merits under his command were Xue Ne, Li Shangdan, Zhang Shi, Gao Chongde, and Li Yehei, followed by Wang Hu, Li Yexu, Chen Xuan, Cheng Boxian, Xue Maoxun, Qin Jingqian, Liu Shijiang, Liu Tao, Wei Chi Xunyu and others.

Today, after the war, a group of generals under Li Yu's command gathered in Pyongyang, which is the seat of the Metropolitan Protectorate and the Yanwang Palace.

Li Yu sat at the top of the main hall, and the generals and the subordinate officials of the Metropolitan Protectorate sat on the left and right.

Sima Xue Jun picked up the case and announced that he had already discussed with Li Yu and Changshi Li Yuan, and announced: "Xue Ne, Li Shangdan, Zhang Shi, Gao Chongde, and Li Yehei, since the beginning of March with the king to lead troops into Andong to quell the rebellion, dozens of battles of all sizes, dozens of cities, tens of thousands of enemies annihilated, repeatedly defeated Goryeo and Sillayi, and raised the prestige of the Tang Dynasty in Dongyi. In terms of military merits, only the Andong Army is the first. Each person appreciates 5,000 acres of land, 5,000 acres of woodland, and 10,000 dollars. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xue Ne and Li Shangdan excitedly stood up and half-knelt down to thank them.

Wang Hu, Li Yexu, Chen Xuan...... The 16 generals were awarded the second class of military merit, with 3,000 acres of land, 3,000 acres of woodland, and 5,000 yuan of money. Li Laiheng, Ren Qiang and other generals made military merits of the third class, rewarded 1,000 acres of land, 1,000 acres of forest land, and 3,000 yuan. ”

"Zheng Jieran, Hu Lian, Liu Ji, Zhang Cai, and Long Zhi have repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the battle array, and they have been rewarded with 800 acres of land, Qian Qianguan, and promoted to school captain."

Zheng Jieran is Zheng Wuyang, Liu Ji and Zhang Cai are Liu Eryang and Zhang Wuyang, and after hearing Sima read out their rewards, the five of them hurriedly went out to thank them.

Xue Jun continued to read: "In addition, the families of the more than 13,500 soldiers who died in the counterinsurgency will receive 200 acres of land, 200 acres of mountains, and 100 yuan of pension given by the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and their sons can study for free in the official school. ”

"The rest of the meritorious soldiers and disabled soldiers will be rewarded for meritorious deeds according to the rewards stipulated by His Royal Highness King Yan."

"Changshi Li Element, Sima Xue Jun...... The civil officials of the Zhudu Protectorate coordinated the transportation of grain, grass and ordnance, and governed the local meritorious service, and were rewarded according to their meritorious deeds. Li Yuan, Xue Jun, Xiao Shu and other eight people rewarded 4,000 acres of land, 4,000 acres of woodland, 8,000 yuan, and the rest of the officials rewarded according to routine. ”

When Li Yuan and the others heard this, they immediately got up and saluted Li Yu who was bowing to him.

"Li Jinxing and Gao Kan, who came to aid Anton on the orders of the imperial court, rewarded 20,000 yuan, and his subordinates rewarded ...... for meritorious service."

Li Jinxing, Gao Kan and his subordinate generals came out full of joy to salute and thank Li Yu, but they were a little regretful that they did not have land rewards. But they also understand that the soldiers and horses led by Li Jinxing and Gao Kan came to the aid of Li Yu, the king of Yan, for the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and after the victory, it is the duty of the imperial court to reward the meritorious deeds.

Li Yu's rewards for his subordinates were also reported to the court in the form of documents, so that his father would know. These soldiers and horses were recruited by Li Yu himself, and the reason was explained in several reports to the imperial court, and it must not have aroused the suspicion of his father and princes in the court

As for the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses left after the war, Li Yu was about to request that most of the army be transferred to the local government soldiers stationed in Andong in the document of reporting to the imperial court, and only 20,000 soldiers would be retained, so as not to make the court suspicious. The soldiers and horses damaged in the battle will be quietly replenished in the form of a government army.

After a discussion of meritorious deeds and rewards, the palace was very happy with all the martial arts, and dozens of generals with outstanding military achievements even had thousands of acres of land and thousands of acres of forest land overnight, and became real landlords.

The middle- and low-ranking officers also had hundreds of acres of land, plus hundreds of acres of mountains and forests, and they became middle-class landlords, and they were overjoyed one by one.

"Your Highness, I don't know what to do with the nearly 30,000 newly captured prisoners of war?"

Lu Jingyu, who had been managing the prisoners, raised a question, after a series of wars, the number of prisoners of war captured by the Duhufu exceeded 50,000, and the daily consumption was very alarming, and the pressure on the food of the Hufu has been on the tight line.

"I am determined that 20,000 of the newly captured captives will go to the Cast Iron City to mine iron ore, and the rest will be divided into two teams with the 10,000 old prisoners who were previously responsible for building the road. One team built a road from Qiancheon Fortress on the south bank of Ap Lushui in the north to Dongbi Castle on the border of South Silla; The other group repaired the road from Pyongyang in the west to Quanjing Fortress in the east, which was occupied by Silla. Li Yu said.
