Chapter 285: Liaoyang Mutiny
Goguryeo had 3 million people, and after several years of war, it was brutally purged by Chen Kexia after the death of the country. The Goguryeo tribe, which had been the dominant ethnic group, was purged, and the rest were reduced to slavery, and most of them were destroyed. After the purge, the population of the three million Goguryeo people was only about 1.5 million, and Chen Kefu's Liaodong soldiers and civilians numbered 330,000. Nearly 500,000 family members and relatives have been recruited from the Central Plains, and it can be expected that nearly one million Han Chinese will enter Liao within a year.
If you don't add the Dahe clan attached to Liaodong by the Khitan and some people from the Central Plains who voluntarily joined Liaodong, there are currently nearly 500,000 households and a population of nearly 2 million in the entire Liaodong. The whole Liaodong is divided into seven counties and 49 counties, with an average of 300,000 people in one county and more than 40,000 people in each county.
The state and county shepherds are an important factor in the formation of local separatist forces. Due to the formation of a strong feudal dependency relationship between some subordinate officials and the lord, they often obey the orders of the lord and ignore the interests of the feudal state. Since the implementation of the nine-product Zhongzheng system in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the family family has monopolized the number of characters: the power to recommend officials, and the establishment of state and county bureaucrats, which are actually controlled by the family family. This situation is not conducive to the centralization of power. Emperor Wen of Sui completely subsumed the appointment power of the state and county bureaucrats to the Ministry of Officials, and the local officials above the ninth rank in the country were appointed by the Central Committee and assessed by the Ministry of Officials.
At the same time, it was stipulated that the county governor must recuse himself from his own county and serve a term of three years without being re-elected, thus greatly strengthening the control of the central government over the localities.
Yang Guang was able to keep Chen Kefu in Liaodong for the time being, because Liaodong was changed to a county and a county, and the soldiers were collected from the government.
All the officials were appointed from the Central Imperial Court, which was to prevent Chen Ke from sitting on the throne.
The imperial court designated the seven counties of Liaodong as the upper counties, each of which was placed as a guard, and the upper county was from the three products. He was appointed as the deputy official and the county was the third. The other counties are given the rank of county ordinances according to the complexity of their administrative affairs and the priority of their regions. All counties are placed in the same place as before. At this time, in addition to Liaodong, there were 190 counties in the whole country, and 1 county
, 255 pcs. At the end of each year, the counties have to go to Beijing to report on their work, which is called the Chaoji envoy.
Yang Guang disbanded the Liaodong camp and divided the army into three. Except for the great generals other than Chen Kefu, the other generals are only the fourth grade. And now in the seven counties of Liaodong, the seven Taishou are all from the third grade, just a little higher than those generals. The tone of the entire Liaodong, what Yang Chan wants is to cultivate Yanwu and recuperate. If Liaodong really follows the imperial court's vision, it will not take ten years for the entire Liaodong to become a land of Han families in the Central Plains like Hebei.
The seven counties are too guarded from the third grade, the general guard is from the fourth grade, the county is from the fifth grade, the county lieutenant is from the sixth grade, and each county has a total of 146 adjutants.
The county order of the forty-nine counties is from the sixth grade, the county is from the eighth grade, and the county lieutenant is from the ninth grade, which belongs to the official concave people.
There are 6,000 local officials in the seven counties of Liao, and Yu Wenhua, who is the general of Zuotunwei, brought 5,000 soldiers and horses of Zuotunwei, all of whom dragged their families and moved their families to settle in Tunkou. With the addition of Yang Lai's 5,000 shì guards, the whole family moved into Liaodong, plus some staff members of the Liao Wangfu, the number of people who entered Liao this time actually reached 100,000. But at present, it is the first batch, and most of the family members are still in the second and third batches.
Listening to Yu Wenhua and others introducing with a smile, Chen Kefu was in a very heavy mood, very heavy. He almost has a feeling that his lair is about to be occupied, and if it goes on like this, it won't take two or three years for this Liaodong, and it is definitely up to this group of Taishou who have just turned from military generals to civilian officials. Thinking of this, Chen Kefu sneered in his heart, Yang Guang definitely couldn't imagine what kind of rivers and rivers his world would be next.
Now he Chen Kefu is just integrating to completely control the soldiers and horses in his hands, and he is also waiting for a better time to make a move. But no matter what time the opportunity is, it will definitely not take two or three years. Laugh, Liaodong was beaten down by him, how could he give it to others so easily. Now that you're here, let's deal with it. The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
After an introduction outside the city, he introduced the other two Taishou, but they were two upstarts in the Yang Guang Dynasty, one was Yu Shiji's brother, Yu Shiqin. One is Pei Valve's character, Pei An. Fan Zigai and others entered Liao, which was degraded. However, for people like Yu Shiqin and Pei Kuan, who were originally not high in official positions, they could be promoted to the third rank at once after three years of being an official in Liaodong, and they couldn't ask for such a good thing.
After chatting a few more words, Chen Kefu also asked the King of Liao and others to start entering Liaodong City. When I arrived at the gate of Liaoxi and Xicheng, there were already tens of thousands of soldiers lined up here to greet him. As soon as he saw the people coming,
It's even more noisy. As soon as I entered the city gate, there were even more crowds of people on both sides of the street, and nearly 300,000 people from Liaoji City came out to greet them.
Although Yang Lai finally came to Liaodong for ambition, he thought that this Liaodong must be a bitter cold place. Sparsely populated and supplies scarce. But at this time, when I walked on Baihu Street, which was a hundred steps wide, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised in my heart.
The crowded people and merchants on both sides of the street, the wide street, and the shops lined with signboards on both sides of the street all made him feel like he was still in Luoyang. Although it is still a lot worse than Luoyang in all aspects, it is even more prosperous than the Central Plains cities that he passed through on the way to Liaodong. This was something he had never thought of before, and for a moment, he even had a feeling that he should have come sooner.
Except for Fan Zigai, most of the generals who entered Liaodong this time have actually been to Liaodong. Most of them came during the second expedition to Liao, the third expedition to Liao, but each time they could only stand outside the city of Liaodong and watch the first fortress in Liaodong. Fan Zigai can't fight, but he is a good hand at managing the place. In particular, he has been holding the position of the head of the household, and he is very concerned about and concerned about the economic and people's livelihood matters, and along the way, he constantly carefully observes the clothes of the people, the decorations of the shops on the street, and even the goods sold inside.
All the way, all the way, the more you watch, the more thrilling it becomes. The people of Liaodong City, whether they are Sui people, or those people who are obviously Liao people at first glance. Everyone was dressed neatly, such as the unclothed situation in the Central Plains, and it was not surprising that he didn't see a single homeless beggar along the way. After the war like Liaodong, he didn't see the homeless beggars, and such a discovery made him look up at the young man in front of him frequently.
Yu Wenhua and the 5,000 soldiers he brought, and Yang Lai's 5,000 soldiers all stayed outside the city and camped, and it was the more than 6,000 officials who entered the city. There are more than 6,000 officials, but most of them are still officials below the fifth grade. The officials who entered the city below the fifth grade arranged to rest in the barracks in the north of the city.
"Lord Chen, this is Lord Zhou Guang, the general secretary sent by His Majesty, and he is responsible for conveying His Majesty's will to the soldiers of Liaodong." Yang Lai introduced Chen Kefu to an official in his forties.
The level of the general secretary is not high, but it is a holy decree, which represents the majesty of the emperor.
Chen Kefu nodded hurriedly, and the location of the decree was directly selected at the campus of Chengbei University. In the camp of Liaodong, all the officials from Liaoyang City above the ninth rank at this time were summoned.
"Emperor Da Sui ordered the generals of Liaodong to obey the order!" The soldiers knelt down to listen to the decree, and by the time the messenger sang the decree aloud, there were already many officers talking about fate.
"Commandment!" Most of the content of this holy decree was already known to Chen Kefu in advance, the Liaodong camp was disbanded, the soldiers and horses were divided into three parts, and after Chen Kefu and other camp generals made the final division and deployment, the Liaodong camp was disbanded. And Chen Kefu and the others don't have to go back to Beijing to hand over the talismans. The handsome seal and tiger talisman in Chen Kefu's hands will be handed over to the Tongshi Sheren and brought back to the capital.
Chen Kefu was relieved of the post of marshal of the Liaodong camp, transferred to Liaodong to stay behind and know the military power of the seven counties of Liaodong, and also added a seal. All the generals below Chen Kefu were not appointed, and their new posts had to be redivided by Chen Kefu and then assigned according to different positions.
What really moved the soldiers was that the holy decree announced that all the promotions that had been given to the soldiers,
The reward money is exchanged for the fields in Liaodong, and the rewards are counted as fields according to the official position and the amount of the reward, and the specific conversion is completed by Chen Kefu and the county guards together. As Li Benlei was worried about at the beginning, as soon as he heard such a result, all the soldiers were unwilling.
In the camp in Liaodong, the military ranks at all levels were very high, especially Yang Guang later issued a holy decree to add loose officers to the officers above the rank of the commander. is a gang leader and a loose official from the ninth grade, but now, everything is gone. The emperor cheated, except for Chen Kefu, in the entire camp, generals of such level as Li Benlei can only serve as the fourth rank of official in the future.
And the original Seventh Army Commander level like Lu Shishen could only be from the fourth grade. The deputy marching commander can only be the fifth grade, and the battalion commander can only be reduced to the fifth grade. As for the battalion commander level, it can only be the sixth grade. And the captain was originally the sixth grade, but now it remains the same, the team is the eighth grade, the deputy of the team is the eighth grade, and the captain has simply become a white body again. ,
Originally, the battlefield was torn apart, and after the war, meritorious deeds were rewarded, even if there was no official promotion, they had to be rewarded with war money. But now it's a good thing, the emperor has issued a holy decree, and everyone's original official positions have been demoted instead of being promoted, and even the leaders with the largest number of people have simply returned to the beginning. And everyone's rewards for their exploits are gone, and they all become the land of Liaodong. Now Liaodong has to say that it is the least valuable, it must be land. As long as you come to Liaodong, you can get a lot of land, and if you are willing to reclaim land, you can also get a lot of land. These lands in Liaodong are basically divided according to 100 acres, but now they want to exchange their exploits in life and death on the battlefield for such a little worthless land?
It's okay if you haven't been promoted before, but the official position under this reward hasn't been hot, and this has to be taken back, which one can bear it. In the colonel's field, there were five or six thousand officers at this time, especially the low-level officers such as the gang commander and the team leader. And they are also the most unlucky people in this group of people who want to withdraw their official positions and rewards. The crowd of soldiers was indignant, and it had turned from a small noise to a loud noise.
Before the decree was announced, it represented the majesty of the emperor, and after the decree was announced, he became an ordinary petty official from the eighth grade. Looking at the thousands of officers moving below, Zhou Guang's face changed several times, and he walked in front of Chen Kefu and said in embarrassment, "My lord, look at the current situation, do you want to appease the soldiers?" "The Tongshi Sheren belongs to Menxia Province, and the two chief officials of Menxia Province admit that Su Wei and Chen Kefu are all standing in front of him at this time.
Yang Lai, the king of Liao, looked at the chaos below, walked up to the stage, and said loudly, "This is the unanimous decision of His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers of the court, what are you doing like this?" Can't you rebel? However, none of the officers below paid any attention to his words, and even after listening to his words, they reacted even more violently. Many officers have even stripped off their shirts and undressed on the snow on a cold day, covering their backs and showing the scars left by the battles on their bodies.
"Could the minister of the DPRK see this scar on my body? How many more scars like this are on my body, have you ever seen them? A man with five big faces and three thick men shouted loudly, pointing to a large piercing scar in front of Xiōng, blushing and thick-necked. Such a shocking scar is surprising, and I don't know how he survived such a scar in the first place.
More officers took off their clothes, and almost all of them had wounds on their bodies. Large size
Small, in more than ten battles in Liaodong, these officers at the lowest level basically had to take the lead in wartime. They were the bravest in the battle, and they were the ones with the highest casualty rate.
Many officers had already fixed their eyes on Chen Kefu, but Chen Kefu kept a calm face and said nothing, and he had already expected today's scene. Not only did he not do any positive work beforehand,
Instead, a lot of agents from the Investigation Department were sent to mix it up, and today he not only had to sit idly by.
On the contrary, on the first day these officials went to Liaodong, let them know that Liaodong is not so simple.
Yang Kan first shouted loudly at the top, and even persuaded him softly later, but those officers saw that Chen Kefu did not stop them, but the voices became louder and louder, and the more troublesome and fierce. Yang Lai came down dejectedly, Fan Zigai went up again, and finally Yu Wenhua also went up. But it still didn't work at all, and in the end, even the three veterans such as Yujuluo couldn't stand it, and they went up to calm down, but still no one listened to him.
A Yang Lai's shì guard ran up and said in a hurry, "Lord Wang, it's not good, the soldiers in Liaoyang City, as well as the military families of those soldiers, knew the holy decree, and they were all emotional, and they all came to the north campus of Chengbei." …,
