Chapter 63: Liaodong Reform (1)
When he saw those leaders, Yang Yan thought he was meeting a group of fishermen.
None of them wore military armor, but were dressed in rough shirts and barefoot, and they walked in.
"Who among you has read a book of war?" Yang Yan found that his heart was a little cold, although he asked this question, he knew that no one would stand up.
Sure enough, those so-called leaders all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Yang Yan's tiger eyes.
"Forget it, you guys stand down, I want to be quiet." Yang Yan waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat.
In the military tent, only a few maids remained, and only one Wu Yong stood with Yu Zhixiong.
"This is my general of the Great Sui, the leader of the dignified naval army, he hasn't even read a military book, it's ridiculous to lose, it's not ridiculous." Yang Yan walked around the tent, not knowing what he was thinking in his head.
The government soldiers, taking off their uniforms, are a group of farmers, and they are in a state of aversion to war, and they do not have the qualities and pursuits of professional soldiers at all.
Perhaps, because of this, Yang Guang established the Xiaoguo Army, which is a group of Great Sui soldiers who want to make a name for themselves through military exploits.
"Zhixiong, go and call the Liaodong County Guard, I have something to announce."
"Wu Yong, immediately led Qin Huwei to patrol outside the city, and as soon as he found that someone wanted to escape from Liaodong City, he arrested me. In addition, officers above the company level of Lone Wolf were sent to report. ”
Government soldiers are not available, and military reform must be carried out.
Now, he is the governor of Liaodong, in charge of the military and political power of Liaodong, and Yang Guang gave him great authority, which is equivalent to sending Liaodong to him to toss.
"Your Highness, sit down and rest, you haven't rested since you entered the city."
The only one who dares to speak like this is Huo Xun Ke'er, because she has been with Yang Yan for the longest time and is also deeply favored by Yang Yan.
"It's okay, you guys go down and rest first, Lone isn't tired." On this expedition, Yang Yan only brought three maids, Huo Xun Keer, Mo Ke, and Li Xiuning, which can be said to be 'uncared for' compared to Yang Guang.
"Go ahead." In the end, Yang Yan used a commanding tone to let the three little beauties silently exit the tent.
However, the barracks was crowded with people, most of them were thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, all of them full of energy, and there was no sign that they were tired from a long journey.
"Minister Deng Wei, knock to see King Qin." A man over half a hundred years old with disheveled hair knelt in front of Yang Yan, forming a strong contrast with the group of teenagers behind him.
Deng Wei was originally a member of the history of the Xiheng Assassination of the Formation Dynasty, and the Sui army surrendered when he attacked Chen, and was appointed as the governor of Yingzhou (Chaoyang, Liaoning). Later, he returned to Sui and served as the Taishou of Liaoxi County. When Yang Guang left Liaodong, he was changed to Liaodong County Guard, and he has been presiding over the work in Tongding Town.
Because Yang Yan was going to enter Liaodong City, he only entered Liaodong City two days ago.
"Lone wolf people, I've seen the young marshal, salute!" The leader of the lone wolf regiment, Yang Yi, led the crowd to salute Yang Yan, and then took out a small horse and sat on the ground.
"Deng Wei, what is the situation in Liaodong City now, and how much fertile land is there?" Yang Yan squinted his eyes and looked at Deng Wei, who was a little uneasy.
Deng Wei was uneasy because Yang Yan was young, he had been in Liaoxi all these years, and he didn't know anything about the affairs of the court.
Yang Yan is now legally nine years old, but he is actually ten years old, but he is still a child. Such an emperor's eldest grandson as the governor of Liaodong is not more reliable than Yang Guang's personal conquest of Goguryeo, how can he rest assured?
"Back to Your Highness, Liaodong City has just been captured by His Majesty, and there are no ordinary people in the city except for the Sui army. Because there were no officials in the city, it was not possible to count the land. "Out of Liaodong City, it is the land of Goguryeo, where is there any field.
"So, there's not a single resident in the city?" Yang Yan rubbed his hands a little excitedly, there are no residents who are fine, there will be it soon.
"Nope." Deng Wei lowered his head.
"Okay, great!" Yang Yan stood up, a little excited.
Is this okay?
Deng Wei didn't know how to describe Yang Yan.
"How many officials did you bring with you?"
"Six scholars, one general, and one thousand soldiers."
"It's too little, but there are so many people in the city, I believe that there are always people who have read, and then you gather them all. I want you to naturalize everyone in the city and count the population. ”
"Your Highness, is this going to let these people all enter the household registration of Liaodong City?" Deng Wei was even more dumbfounded, those farmers and Sui soldiers were eager to return to their hometowns, how could they be willing to become naturalized.
Even if you are willing to become a naturalized citizen, how should the land be divided, there is no land to divide at all?
"Yes, if they enter the household registration of Liaodong City, they will become the first batch of residents of my Great Sui New Liaodong." Population is the biggest resource, and now that there are so many people in the city, Yang Yan doesn't want to let go of any of them.
Those people can't fight, but they are very good at farming.
"But Your Highness, there is no good land in Liaodong City, I'm afraid it's ......"
"What are you afraid of, there is no Liaodong, isn't there fertile land on the plains outside Liaodong City? came to Liaodong alone, just to fight for the land for the Great Sui. Yang Yan touched his nose and comforted Deng Wei. Tell him that he doesn't have to worry about the fields.
But Yang Guangdu suffered defeat and ran away in disgrace, what can a ten-year-old doll do?
"But ......."
"There is nothing to do, the lone wolf obeyed the order, and from now on, he immediately led his troops to cooperate with the task of Deng Junshou, but all those under the age of sixteen were brought back to the camp."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" A group of teenagers immediately stood up, stood upright, and saluted.
The way they salute is to clench their hands into fists and place them on the side of their heads, which is full of momentum.
"Go ahead, do as Gu instructs, first gather the literate people, and then immediately proceed with the matter of naturalization." Solve the population matter first, this time he brought a large amount of grain and grass, and his caravan is still continuously delivering grain to Liaodong City, plus the grain that Yang Guang left in Liaodong City before, it is enough to feed so many people for three years.
After seeing them leave, Yang Yan took Yu Zhixiong straight to the barracks.
"Go, gather all the armies, and have a single matter to declare." After finding the generals of those coalition forces, Yang Yan gave an order.
The government soldiers were not able to be used, and it was enough to dismiss most of the people and hold in the hands of those who volunteered to stay.
With 80,000 coalition troops, Yang Yan estimated in his heart that 5,000 people could stay.
The generals left the main camp with great trepidation and went to gather their men. They have been in the city for a while, but they have not been notified of anything, whether they are alive or dead, it depends on what Yang Yan wants to announce today.
After about an hour, the generals returned to their main camp one after another, telling their men that they had come.
I have to say that Yang Yan's patience is not bad.
"Let's go meet these guys." Yang Yan stood up, led Yu Zhixiong and those generals, and walked out of the camp.
