Chapter 373: The Pillars of the Future Nation
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to destroy Buyeo within the year. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As soon as Sima Yi said this, everyone was shocked, and even Guo Jia and Xun You looked at Sima Yi in disbelief, wanting to see what high opinions could be said from his mouth.
Su Chen was also impressed by his words, and asked, "What is Zhongda's clever plan?" ”
Sima Yi seemed to be deliberately trying to sell a pass, so he didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the biggest difficulty in destroying Buyeo?" ”
Su Chen also knew that the literati at this time had a common problem of pretending to be profound, even Guo Jia was not exempt from vulgarity, he had long been immune to this, and as an emperor, he had a calm spirit, even if he wanted to know Sima Yi's clever plan in his heart, he could endure it, and replied: "If you want to say that this is the difficulty of destroying Buyeo, the soldiers I just said are not tolerant of bitter cold, this is a point, in addition, Buyeo people are brave and good at fighting, the law is clear, the political situation is stable, although the population is not large, it can be twisted into a rope externally, and it is not easy for our army to sweep away Buyeo." ”
"Your Majesty's words are true, and the minister's method is to address these two difficulties." Sima Yi saw that everyone was listening attentively, and said carefully: "First of all, the first point, the land of Fuyu is bitter cold, although spring is about to begin, but the land of Fuyu is not warm, when the minister is in Jiaozhou, I heard that Jiaozhou produces a kind of tung oil, and the local people apply tung oil to the body, which can isolate the cold and even protect the skin. ”
Hearing this, Guo Jia, who had never been further south of Jingzhou, asked: "Zhongda, as far as I know, the temperature in Jiaozhou is very high, and the local people often wear single clothes, how can they be afraid of the cold?" ”
Sima Yi said with a smile: "Guo Junshi doesn't know, the more south the place, the more afraid the people are of the cold, although the temperature in Jiaozhou is high, but it often rains in winter, so there is also a relatively cold season, and some local people in the mountains do not have too many clothes, so they like to apply this tung oil." ”
"I see."
Everyone understood Sima Yi's method, and Su Chen asked, "Zhongda, as you said, this kind of tung oil may satisfy the needs of the sergeant?" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, when the minister was in Jiaozhou, he collected some of them, and now they are in the treasury of Jiaozhou, if necessary, you can make Jiaozhou Thorn Shi and the mountain people exchange, it should not be a problem."
"Well, this matter will be handled by Zhongda, and the tung oil will be sent to Chaisang as soon as possible, and then transported to Liaodong by sea."
"Obey the order!"
After solving the problem of soldiers' hardiness, the second problem is simple, Fuyu is fierce and good at fighting, but Xu Huang's subordinates are not vegetarians, the Beiwei army is the elite of the elite, compared to the forbidden army at this time, the combat effectiveness of the Beiwei army is even stronger, if the Beiwei army is not an opponent, he really can't find an elite soldier who can match it in the world.
In the spring of the 11th year of Kaiyuan, Xu Huang used troops against Buyeo for the first time, killing more than 5,000 Buyeo soldiers and capturing tens of thousands of people, and achieved the first stage victory.
Thanks to the clever plan provided by Sima Yi, the soldiers after applying tung oil really overcame the problem of being afraid of cold and won a big victory.
Subsequently, Xu Huang made persistent efforts to send an envoy to win over the people of Fuyu to attack Fuyu, this time Fuyu had already prepared, and the contemporary Fuyu Wei Qiutai sent the prince Jian to live, with the power of the country, recruited 50,000 warriors to meet the Yan army.
Xu Huang personally led the troops to the battle, with twice the superior strength of the enemy, and defeated Jian Weiju in Nanshui, Jian Weiju was beheaded by Xu Huang, 50,000 Buyeo warriors were annihilated, the Yan army beheaded tens of thousands of people, and the rest were all captured.
When Fuyu heard that the prince had died in battle and that all 50,000 warriors had been wiped out, he panicked, and finally decided to surrender to Yan under the advice of the minister.
As usual, Fuyu Wei Qiutai was escorted to Luoyang, and the land of Buyeo was divided into a county by Su Chen and named Buyeo County. With the surrender of Buyeo, Rulou also knew that the soldiers and horses of the Great Yan State were strong and could not be enemies, so he immediately attached himself to the Yan State, and Su Chen set up the Rulou County in the land of Rulou, and Beiwofu was also included in the Rulou County.
Dongyi Pingding, divided into three counties, namely Goryeo County, Buyeo County and Rulou County, in addition to Lelang County, Joseon County, Liaodong County, Liaodong Dependent State, Xuansu County, Changli County and Liaoxi County, all belong to Pingzhou, in order to develop the Dongyi area, Pingzhou Prefecture moved from the original Liaodong County to Marudu City, Goryeo County, to strengthen the rule of the Dongyi region.
The history of Pingzhou is still Tian Yu, but Tian Yu also serves as the county guard of Goryeo, this time Xu Huang swept away Fuyu Rulou, Su Chen did not give him a knight, but only rewarded him with gold and silver property, Xu Huang is now a first-class Zheng Guogong, the title has come to an end, it is impossible to continue, as for the addition of officials, this is okay, Su Chen promoted Xu Huang, the official position of the governor of Pingzhou, to a grade from the first grade, and promoted him to a level, if he makes great contributions in the future, Xu Huang will be transferred to the court as an official, because the feudal officials have reached the limit of the second grade, If it weren't for Su Chen's desire to use troops against Dongying, Xu Huang would have been transferred to the capital now, Xu Huang has been in Liaodong for many years, and the ministers in the court have already heard criticism.
In the blink of an eye, in the twelfth year of Kaiyuan, Su Chen took Su Mu as the generalissimo of the expedition to the east, Taishi and Xu Huang as the deputy marshals, and raised 200,000 troops and 100,000 troops, a total of 300,000 troops to attack Dongying.
At this time, there are hundreds of countries on the island, and there are also 30 countries that have had exchanges with the previous dynasty.
Chen Qun has collected a lot of information about the Wa Kingdom over the years, and now Chen Qun is nominally Taishou in Joseon County, and Su Mu is the general of Yingyang Zhonglang, but in fact, the civil and military power of Joseon County is in the hands of King Han, which is also something that Su Chen acquiesces into.
Su Mu has been in North Korea for many years, and has turned this place into a rich place, and the local residents are all sinicized, speaking Chinese, writing Chinese, and wearing Hanfu, Su Mu's prestige in North Korea County is very high.
Chen Qun was Cao Cao's think tank, and after the surrender, Su Chen sent him to North Korea, in fact, he wanted him to assist Su Mu, Su Mu also knew that Chen Qun was talented, so he was very respectful to him, and every time he saw Chen Qun, he treated him as a disciple.
Originally, Su Mu was not without ideas about the position of the prince, but Su Jin had no choice but to have a strong foundation whether he was in Shilin or in the army, and many of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were from Cai Yongmen, although most of them have not yet reached the upper level, but among the middle-level officials, most of them are from Yanjing Academy, among which Gu Yong is the leader of this group of people, and he has become an official to the Ministry of Officials.
And Su Jin has the merit of destroying Shu, he is the prince, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty is dissatisfied, and he also knows that he can't fight, so he is willing to be a virtuous king.
It's just that I didn't expect that now my father actually ordered him to serve as the generalissimo of the expedition to the east, commanding 300,000 troops to conquer the Japanese country, although the position of marshal Yan Guo is available, but he is still the first person to serve as a marshal.
After receiving the order letter from the imperial court, Su Mu ordered someone to call Chen Qun and asked, "Sir, my father has now asked me to be the generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition to crusade against the Japanese State, what is the purpose of this?" ”
The position of the crown prince has been decided, according to common sense, for him, his father should not let him make such a great contribution, otherwise wouldn't this threaten the status of the crown prince.
However, for his father, Su Mu has been in awe since he was a child, and he knows that his father must have a deep meaning when he does this, but he can't guess it now.
Chen Qun was also a little puzzled, and said: "King Han, General Xu and General Taishi are all His Majesty's henchmen and ministers, although His Majesty takes King Han as the generalissimo, but this generalissimo is not worthy of the name, and the specific strategy should still be based on the two generals, but now General Xu and General Taishi belong to different systems, and it is not appropriate who is in charge and who is secondary, so in order to balance, this is to let King Han become the generalissimo and reconcile from it." ”
"I see." Being so little by Chen Qun, Su Mu immediately understood, it turned out that he was just a puppet.
In fact, as Su Mu guessed, the Military Aircraft Department sent Pang Tong to Liaodong to convey the military order, and then stayed in Liaodong. Among them are Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, two young people with great fame in Taixue.
When Su Chen learned the names of Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, he made an exception to choose the two to study in Taixue, and at the same time asked the two to serve as Su Rui's companions and accompany Su Rui to study, and he often saw these two.
I have to say that the people who can leave a name in history are by no means extraordinary, these two people are indeed very smart, and over time, they will inevitably be Lu Xun and Zhou Yu.
In Pang Tong's army, in addition to Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, there are five people, namely Ma Yan, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, Fei Yi, and Wang Jun, all of whom are Junjie in Taixue and future ministers of the country.
This eight-person army team was not warmly welcomed by Xu Huang, and Pang Tong, who was the leader, was too ugly, and in this era of looking at faces, he suffered a little.
The remaining seven people, Jiang Wan and Dong Yun are fine, but the remaining few people are still a group of stinky hairy children, Xu Huang really doesn't understand, why did the Military Aircraft Department send this group of children, could it be that he, Zheng Guogong, is taking children?
In fact, most of these people were recommended by Guo Jia, Guo Jia mastered the intelligence system of the bayonet, and knew the talents from all over the world best, and these people were all selected into Taixue after he told the emperor.
Unlike Xu Huang, although Tai Shici has built the navy very well over the years, the navy has not been a big war, and he has been suppressed for many years, and now he is just a marquis.
Although Xu Huang's soldiers are heavy, and his subordinates control nearly 300,000 troops in Liaodong, his life is not as comfortable as Tai Shi Ci, because Xu Huang's grain and grass are subject to the Ministry of War, but the navy's grain and grass are directly allocated by the navy yamen, and most of the navy's food and salary are their own income, and the navy yamen is just for unified deployment, so these few soldiers have been treated by Tai Shi Ci, which makes everyone have a very good impression of Tai Shi Ci.
