Chapter 371: Goguryeo Falls
Ten years of Kaiyuan, autumn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Huang, the governor of Pingzhou, led an army of 200,000 to attack Goguryeo. The king of Goguryeo sent troops to resist, but because of the lack of food, grass and ordnance, the army's morale was unstable and was greatly broken by Xu Huang.
In the winter of the tenth year of Kaiyuan, the king of Goguryeo led the Goguryeo ministers to surrender to Yan, and Xu Huang sent people to send the Goguryeo royal family to Luoyang.
Subsequently, after Xu Huang occupied Goguryeo, he reported to the imperial court and set up Goryeo County, and the imperial court agreed to Xu Huang's request, with Tian Yu as the Goryeo Taishou, and at the same time relocated 30,000 military households, 500,000 people in Liaodong, and immigrated to Goryeo County.
The 30,000 military households were mainly retired soldiers who had contributed to the Battle of Xiliang, and they went to Goryeo, where they were given three times as much land as in the Central Plains, and they were also able to enjoy a tax exemption policy for 20 years.
The standard of military merit field is that each retired soldier can enjoy five acres to one hundred acres according to the size of his military merits, and more than 100 acres of land needs to obtain a knighthood, at least a viscount.
Military fields are generally exempt from taxation in the first five years, and pay one percent in the next ten years, and after fifteen years, the tax is formulated according to the number of military children and grandchildren in the military household, but the maximum is only thirty percent, which can be said to be quite good compared to the tax of five or six percent of the land rented and powerful.
However, if the military households that have been awarded the military merit field do not have reserve children to join the army, then the land will be reclaimed by the government and re-awarded to other meritorious soldiers.
Sooner or later, the day when the land will be granted, in this way, in order to pursue more military merits, and military merits in order to exchange for land, then the pace of colonization will be opened, especially with the help of the Chamber of Commerce, because Su Shuang, the king of Zhongshan, Mi Zhu, and the uncle of the Zhen family are all born in merchants, so the status of businessmen is not low in Dayan, but because many people in the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce have been awarded the title of earl and below, it has become a trend to engage in business.
In the end, after the immigration policy was issued, the registration points in various places were crowded, you must know what the concept of a person with 50 acres of land is, only need to easily complete one year of cultivation, you can get rid of poverty and become rich, and embark on a broad road.
Eventually, the enthusiasm of the common people was impatient, and there were nearly one million immigrants in total, and the number of military households increased to 50,000 in order to manage these million immigrants, which was the foundation of the future Goryeo County Juchong Province.
Tian Yu's appointment as the Taishou of Goryeo County is indeed a bit overkill, but Tian Yu is very good at dealing with ethnic contradictions, so he can only be wronged temporarily, and the people of the Manchu Dynasty really can't find a more suitable person than Tian Yu.
Subsequently, after receiving the order from the military aircraft department, Xu Huang did not stop the pace of the attack, but aimed at the three places of Buyeo, Rulou and Wofu in the north of Goguryeo.
Buyeo is north of the Great Wall, thousands of miles away from Xuansu, south with Goguryeo, east with Lulou, west with Xianbei, north with weak water, about 2,000 miles in radius.
There are 80,000 households, and the Buyeo people have lived here for generations, and there are palaces, warehouses, and prisons. Buyeo is a place with many mountains and large lakes, and its terrain is the most flat and open in Dongyi. The land here is suitable for growing food crops, but it does not produce all kinds of fruits, unlike Goguryeo.
The people here are tall and stout, strong and brave in nature, but loyal and restrained, and do not rob and plunder. Buyeo was honored by the king, and its officials were named after six animals, such as Majia, Niujia, Zhujia, Doga, Ambassador, Ambassador, Messenger, etc.
There are powerful people in all villages, and the people and households under their control are all slaves. Each plus is in charge of each side, and the most powerful rule over thousands of people, while the less powerful rule over hundreds. Buyeo people eat and drink with beans, two kinds of ritual utensils used to hold food during ancient sacrifices and feasts. The host and guests toasted each other, washed the wine glasses and then toasted, and bowed their hands to step forward and retreat, which was also the etiquette they learned from the Han Dynasty.
The Buyeongs were fond of white, and officials generally wore furs embroidered with various patterns. The punishment in the country was severe, and not only were the murderers executed, but their families were also used as slaves. The customs of the Buyeong people were similar to those of the Xiongnu, who were good at raising livestock, and every household was equipped with a sword. Buyeo was originally under the jurisdiction of Xuansu, but Goguryeo continued to encroach on Xuansu, so Buyeo began to vacillate between the two.
Today's Buyeo is the enemy platform, and there is a prince who lives in Jian. For such a country with a stable political situation, strong people's morale, strong national strength, and a population of nearly 400,000. It is not easy for Xu Huang to fight. The best way to do this is to cross and attack closely.
Wofu, that is, the meaning of the forest tribe, Wofu is divided into East Wofu (also known as Southern Wofu) and Northern Wofu. Dongwofu is located on the east side of Goguryeo's Gaima Mountain, and people live close to the sea. Its topography is narrow in the northeast, long in the southwest, with a radius of about 1,000 miles, and is bordered by Lulou and Buyeo in the north and tapir in the south.
There are 5,000 households in Dongwofu, there is no great king, and there are villages and tribes from all over the country for generations, each with a commander to rule. The language of Dongwofu is basically the same as that of Goguryeo, with some minor differences. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Wei Man, a fugitive from the Yan Kingdom, became king in Korea, and at that time the Wofu region was under its jurisdiction.
In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he raised an army to crusade against Korea, killed Wei Man's grandson Youqu, divided the area he ruled into four counties, and took Wofu City as the seat of Xuanfu County. Later, this place was invaded by the tapirs, and the imperial court moved the county to the north of Goguryeo, which was the former residence of Xuansu.
The Han Dynasty was also under the jurisdiction of Lelang County, because the territory here was vast and remote, so in the east of the single large territory, the eastern governor was separated, and the administrative office was located in the city of Bunai, and the seven counties in the east were also under the jurisdiction of the eastern governor.
In the sixth year of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the border counties of the province were cut, and the eastern governors were abolished, and then the leaders of the various parts of the country were used as the county marquis, impatient, gorgeous, and the counties of the Wofu were all marquis. Yidi attacked each other and conquered each other, and only the impatient Hou Hou still set up Gongcao, the chief book and other county official positions under Cao, and all of them were held by the people.
The leaders of the villages and tribes in all parts of Wofu called themselves the three elders, and the country of Wofu was small, and it was in the middle of a big country, so they could only be subordinate to Goguryeo. Goguryeo let the lords of the Wofu tribes be envoys, let them govern the Wofu, and sent Goguryeo Dajia to be responsible for urging the Wofu people to pay rent and taxes, tapir cloth, fish, salt, and other edible things in the sea, all of which were carried to Goguryeo by the Wofu people for thousands of miles, and also sent the beauties of the Wofu people to the Goguryeo people as maids and concubines, Goguryeo can be said to be oppressive slaves, and the Wofu people dared to be angry with them, Goguryeo was destroyed, and the Wofu people not only did not die of rabbits and foxes, but were in awe of the Yan Kingdom, and even sent a messenger to meet Xu Huang, hoping to be able to return to the Yan Kingdom.
And in these years, Mi Zhu served as the Taishou of Lelang, vigorously developing commerce, and the Wofu people benefited a lot, many of their tribes were devoted to the Yan Kingdom, wearing Hanfu, learning Chinese characters, compared to Goguryeo, the relationship between Wofu and the Han people was closer.
The fertile habitat is "fertile soil, backed by mountains to the sea, suitable for five grains, and good for planting", Dongning Basin and Taipingling Mountains. Although the houses of the Wofu people are still semi-crypt-type, there are already walls of fire built around the cave walls, and the class society has not yet been formed in the northern Wofu, and it is still a clan tribe.
The Wofu people can be said to be a natural navy, and now there are many Wofu people in the Liaodong Navy, so Wofu does not need to send troops to attack, only need to send an envoy to announce Tianwei and bring Wofu into the jurisdiction of Goryeo County.
It is more than 1,000 miles northeast of Buyeo, close to the sea, connected to the north in the south, and extends to the north, and from today's point of view, it should have reached Siberia. The appearance of the Lulou people is similar to that of the Buyeo people, and the language is different from that of Buyeo and Goguryeo, so this is the place where troops need to be attacked.
Most of the people are brave and strong, and there is no supreme ruler, and each village tribe has a leader. The common people live in the mountains and forests, and often live in caves, and some large families have caves as deep as fifty or sixty meters long, and the more caves they have, the better.
Located in the northernmost part of the country, it is colder than Buyeo, and its custom is to raise pigs, and the people like to eat pork and wear clothes made of pig skin. In winter, the body is coated with lard, which is several minutes thick, as a way to protect against the cold. In the summer, they are often naked, they don't like to clean, the toilet is in the middle, but people live around the toilet.
The bow and arrow of the Rulou people are very powerful, the bow is four feet long, and the bow power is not inferior to the crossbow, and the arrow shaft is made of bitter wood, one foot and eight inches long, and the arrow is made of bluestone. The people of Lulou are good at archery, and the arrows are also coated with poison, and they will definitely die. But here you can produce red jade, fine mink, and it's all good.
The exploitation of the Fuyu was more ferocious than that of Goguryeo to Wofu, and the Buyeo had sent troops to fight many times, but although the people of the Lulu were few, the country was dangerous, and the Buyeo people were afraid of their bows and arrows, and they could not subdue them after all.
The people of Rulou are also accustomed to stealing by boat, and they are more suitable candidates for the navy, but their customs are different from those of other Dongyi, and they are the least inferior and hierarchical order.
If Xu Huang wants to attack Buyeo, he can contact Lu Lou for assistance and attack from the north and south. It's just that the use of troops in Buyeo is not effective in the short term, just like the attack on Goguryeo and Sanhan, Xu Huang has been operating in Liaodong for more than 20 years, first destroying Sanhan, and then spending more than ten years to operate, which is to eliminate Goguryeo's henchmen in one fell swoop.
Su Chen worshiped Xu Huang as the general of the expedition to the east, and still led the identity of the governor of Pingzhou, and at the same time asked Tai Shici, the governor of the Liaodong Navy, to assist him in using troops against Buyeo.
When the king of Goguryeo was sent to Luoyang, the whole Luoyang was boiling, this was a battle to destroy the country in the real sense, taking advantage of this great victory, Su Chen also took the opportunity to propose the establishment of the prince, and took this opportunity to reward the meritorious heroes.
