Chapter VII Colonial Plans

readx;

The morale of the Hsu family army was high, and they marched south from South Pyongyang, attacking cities and plundering land all the way, and Lianke was occupied by Silla Prefectures and counties. The samurai army that crusaded against Silla landed on the south coast of Silla on the second day of the fifth month, and the samurai army was also a Tang army, which was much stronger than the Silla army, and captured the Silla city one after another, forcing the king of Silla not only to be unable to send troops to reinforce the Silla army that was fighting against the Hsu army in the former Baekje and former Goguryeo regions, but also to withdraw the Silla army stationed in the former Goguryeo and former Baekje regions to the country to resist the attack of the samurai army.

The hometown of the original Goguryeo and Baekje Silla army was attacked by the samurai army, and their morale was low, and they had no intention of fighting with the Xu army, and the Xu army successively captured three military important places and important cities in Xiongjin, Pyongyang and South Pyongyang, and the Goguryeo and Baekje rebels were originally a rabble, with neither combat effectiveness nor will to fight, and when they heard that the Xu army was coming, they fled before they could fight with the Xu army, which also seriously affected the morale of the Silla army.

From South Pyongyang to the former capital of Baekje Kuba Fortress (present-day Jeonju, South Korea, about 450 li south of Seoul, about 150 li south of Wojin Fortress, the three cities are on a single line, close to the west coast of South Korea) 450 li, the Xu Jiajun advanced at a march speed of 30 li a day, and advanced to Kuba City in only half a month.

When the Xu army arrived at Kuba City, the 20,000 Baekje rebels had all fled, and the 10,000 Silla army was already trembling in front of the 30,000 Xu family army. The trebuchet's stones filled the city walls, and when the Xu army attacked the city in less than half an hour, the terrified Silla defenders felt like they had a nightmare, and when they woke up, the city walls had been occupied by the Tang army.

Xu Jiajun's new army wore anti-arrow clothing, grimace iron masks, held a shield in his left hand, a pistol in his right hand, and another pistol at his waist, carrying a knife or sword on his back, shouting surrender and not killing, and the enemy would die at gunpoint if he hesitated. Due to the language barrier, most of the Silla troops could not react, and most of them were shot, and only a very small number surrendered to save their lives.

After capturing Kuba City, Xu Qing led 10,000 troops back to Xiongjin City, moved the harem regiment to the old palace of Andong Protectorate in Pyongyang, and sat in the old mansion of Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, commanded the counterinsurgency work of Xu's army in the Goguryeo and Baekje rebellion areas, and ordered Xue Rengui to lead 20,000 troops to clear the anti-Tang forces in the Baekje rebellion area.

After the 20,000 rear troops of the Xu family army arrived in Pyongyang, Xu Qing ordered Yu Shiwen to command the 20,000 rear army to eliminate the anti-Tang forces in the Goguryeo rebellion area. Xue Rengui's army and Yu Shiwen's army each allocated a new army men's corps and a forward army.

It took nearly a month for the two Xujia armies to wipe out all the rebels in the former Goguryeo and former Baekje areas, most of the rebels surrendered, a few rebels died in battle, and a very small number of rebels were scattered among the people.

Six years ago, when the Tang Dynasty imposed military and political rule over the Goguryeo and Baekje regions, the Han people participated in the management. After the rise of rebellion against the Tang Dynasty in the former Goguryeo and former Baekje regions, the assassins and county commanders in charge of the Goguryeo and Baekje people betrayed the Tang Dynasty one after another, either switching their allegiance to the resurgence of the Goguryeo Dynasty and the Baekje Dynasty, or to the Silla King Kim Famin, killing or driving out the Han Chinese who participated in the administration of the prefecture and county.

After quelling the rebellion in Goguryeo and Baekje, Xu Qing disbanded all non-Han armies and civilian regiments, dismissed all government officials of non-Han origin, and re-registered the population, land, real estate, and property according to the prefectures and counties of the former Goguryeo and Baekje regions originally divided by the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Xu Qing launched the land reform movement and the slave liberation movement, confiscating all the old nobles, old officials, landlords, city owners, lords, slave owners, chiefs' land, real estate, property, slaves, slaves and slaves, stipulating that all people are equal in personality and before the laws of the Tang Dynasty, all people are the people of the Tang Dynasty, all men and women who are married or have lived together have the freedom to marry and divorce, all people have to work, and those who have the ability to work but do not work are illegal.

Land and houses were redistributed to all the prefectures and counties of the former Goguryeo and former Baekje regions, and the old nobles, former officials, landlords, city lords, lords, slave owners, and chiefs who originally occupied a large amount of social resources and wealth participated in the distribution of land and real estate in the same way as the common people.

Many old nobles, old officials, landlords, city owners, lords, slave owners, and chieftains had a large number of concubines, all of whom were victims of arranged marriages or bought marriages or forced marriages, and divorced one after another.

Xu Qing stipulated that prisoners of war would work for two years and could be released as civilians. More than 100,000 prisoners of war were now employed as free laborers in mining, construction, road construction, port construction, fortifications, and factory construction.

At the beginning of May, when the Xujia army occupied the three cities of Pyongyang, South Pyongyang, and Xiongjin, and initially took control of the Goguryeo and Baekje regions, the peasants who could grow cotton that Xu Qing had invited from the Western Regions and the Hetao region had been in Xiongjin and Pyongyang for two or three months.

Xu Qing sent a monthly telegram to the Tang Emperor Li Zhi in Chang'an, who praised Xu Qing for quickly quelling the rebellion in Goguryeo and Baekje and bringing the local people back to peace.

Xu Qing selected a large number of learned people from Fanyang and Liaodong to become teachers in Goguryeo and Baekje, and ordered all non-Han people under the age of 16 in Goguryeo and Baekje to receive full-time Chinese language education to learn Chinese, Chinese characters, and Tang culture, etiquette, and rules and regulations. All non-Han people between the ages of 16 and 50 are engaged in productive labor during the day and attend night classes at night to learn Chinese, Chinese characters, and Tang culture, etiquette, and rules and regulations. The principal offender shall be sentenced to death immediately, and the accomplice shall be sentenced to 30 rods and imprisonment and a fine and hard labor.

Relying on the abundant iron ore and coal resources in the northern part of the former Goguryeo and south of the Yalu River and the Tumen River, Xu Qing founded a steel factory in Daxing, about 400 miles northeast of Pyongyang, and a military factory in Daxing, and an arsenal in 10 miles to the east, 10 miles to the west, and 100 miles north of Pyongyang. The Pyongyang West Arsenal is managed and operated by the former Arsenal Workshop of the Heo Ching Black Wind Ridge Group to produce the rest of the gun's parts, while the Pyongyang North Arsenal is managed and operated by the old department of Hsu Ching to produce bullets and develop new thermal weapons, including rifles, machine guns and cannons.

At the same time, a farm tool factory, a paper mill, and a daily necessities factory for steel manufacturing were established in Pyongyang, a shipyard, a cotton textile factory, and a silk factory were established in Xiongjin, and a salt factory was established on the southern coast of the former Baeknan.

Dong Yuanhe was appointed by Dong Yuanshan as the head of overseas business and stayed in North Korea for a long time, so Dong Yuanhe took all his family to North Korea after the rebellion of Goguryeo and Baekje was put down, and the family was reunited.

Xu Qing's land reform movement, slave liberation movement and marriage **** launched in the Goguryeo and Baekje regions, cracked down on the magnates, landlords, slave owners, lords, and chieftains, protected the rights of the people at the bottom, and was deeply supported by the people at the bottom, and achieved good social results, the vast majority of the original Goguryeo people and the original Baekje people felt that the system and culture of the Tang Dynasty were far more advanced than the original Goguryeo and the original Baekje, and the Tang Dynasty people lived far happier than the original Goguryeo people and the original Baekje people, and it was better to be Tang Dynasty people, Soon forgot the pain of losing the country.

In view of the fact that the anti-Tang activities had almost disappeared and there were only sporadic assassinations against Han officials, Xu Qing, in order to avoid intensifying the contradictions between the Han people and the former Goguryeo and the former Baekje people, changed the original Zhulian policy -- if the former Goguryeo or former Baekje killed a Han Chinese, as long as the murderer's hiding place was discovered, he would return it a hundredfold or a thousand times, and kill all the people in the original Goguryeo or former Baekje villages who harbored the murderer.

The assimilation of the former Goguryeo and the former Baekje people in education will not be effective in the short term, and it will cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but in 50 or 100 years, it will definitely be effective.

The resettlement plan and the colonization plan were also carried out simultaneously, bringing the advanced farming culture, science and technology of the Tang people to the Korean Peninsula, promoting the development of culture and science and technology on the Korean Peninsula, and promoting social transformation.

Inter-ethnic marriage programmes can promote ethnic integration. Xu Qing proposed that if the sisters, sisters, cousins, and cousins of the prisoners of war were married to Han Chinese living and working on the Korean Peninsula, the prisoners of war could be released immediately. Former Goguryeo and former Baekje women who marry Han Chinese who lived and work in the former Goguryeo and former Baekje areas can get the opportunity to work in urban factories, and after giving birth to children, they can get the opportunity to serve as public officials in the city's grassroots government, and their mother's family's annual taxes and servitude can be halved.
