Chapter 259: Easy to Serve and Change

"Is the marshal ready? … Mao Xi's eyes looked directly at Chen Wufu, and his eyes were full of jī movements.

"This is given by God, and if God does not take it, it will be blamed." Chen Kefu's eyes were firm, and his face was full of determination. At this point, there is nothing left to hesitate about. Rebellion is a big thing, and the most difficult thing is actually the early stage.

The early stage of the rebellion is full of dangers and uncertainties, and if you are not careful, you will die without a place to bury. When the flag is really pulled and the rebellion is made, it is actually relatively simple. To rebel, it is not a one-person business, it is a team business.

Only by preparing early can you plan carefully and have more time to think about the layout. Chen Kefu is now beginning to show his ambitions to his henchmen, precisely in order to seize every bit of time to make arrangements before Yang Guang's reaction. If so, he can deal with Yang Guang's possible next move.

"Everyone, you are all my brothers and sisters Chen Kefu, and I have always regarded you as my own people. Now the Great Sui Yang Guang has no way, causing chaos in the world and the people are not living. The world is full of flames,

Many heroes and heroes competed to revolt. Sui lost its deer, and the heroes of the world chased it together. Our soldiers fought in Liaodong for the rest of their lives, but Yang Guang began to be suspicious of us. Previously, Zhang Xutuo commanded the troops to come, called reinforcements, but in fact, to seize the power of Liaodong, and the prime minister Su Wei was the supervising army. My Chen Ke is the royal family of Southern Chen, and the ancestors of my Chen family lost their morality in the past, so far the Chen family was replaced by Sui. Now Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty is mediocre, and his surname is unbearable. I, Chen Kefu, shouted from the heights, led the soldiers of Liaodong, relieved the people from hanging upside down, saved the people from fire and water, and returned the world to a bright future. ”

"Swear to follow the marshal to the death and restore my homeland!" Lu Shishen and Chen Qing and other old departments of Chenjiazhuang were all in the veins, and the green tendons on their necks were bulging. The people of Chenjiazhuang are the old ministers of Nan Chen, and most of the younger generation are the sons and daughters of those old ministers. At this time, seeing that Chen Kefu finally decided to return to the country, everyone was moved.

Uncle Mao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "In the future, I will call Your Highness, and in the future, I will call Your Majesty." ”

Chen Kefu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "It's too early to say this. After speaking, he turned to Shen Guang and other generals and said, "I don't know if Shen Guang and other generals are willing to help me and fight the Yang clan together?" ”

Shen Guang glanced around secretly, and now Lu Shishen and they all looked at him coldly, if he dared to say a word today, it was estimated that he would not be able to get out of this room. However, the Shen Guang family was originally a noble family of Southern Chen eunuchs, and the Chen family died in the country, and they were not very good after they were forced to Chang'an. In the end, not only was there no house, but there was not even enough to eat. His grandfather and father were both officials in Nanchen, but after arriving in Chang'an, he could only become a copyist. If he hadn't performed well during the siege, he would still be just a military commander.

Seeing that the Sui Dynasty was becoming more and more chaotic, Chen Kefu's strength was getting stronger day by day, and he had more eyes on himself. Now that Chen Kefu wants to rebel against his family, he is an old minister of Nan Chen, and he himself is a senior general under Chen Kefu, if he obeys at this time, then the revival of the Shen family in the future is just around the corner. What's more, he has no choice now, and it is estimated that he can only take the first step for Da Sui.

Kneeling on his knees, Shen Guang kowtowed to Chen Kefu, "My Shen clan was originally an old minister of Nan Chen, and now His Royal Highness is determined to restore the country, and my former subordinate must be a pawn of the horse, and serve His Royal Highness as a dog and horse." ”

With Shen Guang taking the lead, the rest of the generals naturally followed.

"Your Highness, is it a bit of a hurry to start at this time, everything is not ready."

Lu Shishen was a little suspicious.

Chen Kefu smiled: "Today, I just want to make my heart clear to all the brothers, so that everyone can be prepared from today onwards." But it's not that we're going to raise the banner to rebel now, we're starting to prepare now, and on the surface we're still Sui courtiers. However, from now on, the commander must support the army and respect himself, and listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement. As long as Yang Guang does not send troops into Liaodong and does not cut my military power, then what if I surrender to him? When the time comes, it will be the time for us to raise our troops. ”

"Your Highness is right, the restoration of the country must be carefully planned. Only after planning can we act, and the most important thing now is to grasp the power of the army. The most reliable people today are all of us here, as well as General Mao Yi, who is leading the troops, and some of his soldiers and horses are also reliable, but the other generals are not sure of their status for a while. ”

Chen Kefu nodded, if you want to rebel, you need to have soldiers, he originally had 160,000 people in his hands, but the last time he defended the city, 40,000 were killed and wounded, and there were 120,000 left. Among them, there are still 20,000 Khitan and Mòhé soldiers and horses, so there are only 100,000 people left in his hands, and these 100,000 people are divided into seven armies, and the only ones he really completely controls are his middle army, Lu Shishen's left wing army, Mao Yi's left front army, Chen Gui's right wing army, and the marshal's palace soldiers and horses. In fact, although Hu Hai, Liu Tiezhu, and Zhang He should also be regarded as confidants, they have not yet communicated. ,

Therefore, when the troops were deployed today, Chen Kefu simply dispatched all the soldiers and horses of Hu Hai and the three of them first, scattered them all over the place, and slowly plotted them.

"Your Highness, if Liaodong is the foundation, then we can no longer be the same as at the beginning. We have to be prepared for a long time, Liaodong has been pacified, and we have almost killed those who should be killed. Next, my opinion is that all the nobles and the leaders of the tribe should be captured and killed. The people of Goguryeo, there are several ethnic groups, we can treat them differently, and the Goguryeo people escorted Liaodong as slaves. For the rest of the people, such as the Han people, the Buyeo people, the Mòhé people, the Khitan people, etc., we can scatter them all, rearrange them in various cities, and redistribute them to land. "According to Mao Xi's meaning, it is not enough to just kill it. Population is an important resource, and many people have been killed before, and the Goguryeo people originally did not exceed 10,000 people. More than half of the casualties have been killed and wounded in successive wars, and now as long as the remaining noble leaders of the Goguryeo people are killed, the rest can be made into slavery. As for the other tribes, they can be divided and redivided into different places.

In a new environment, there are no familiar connections, no complex networks, and no ambitious aristocratic leaders. If the tribes are mixed, then it is basically difficult to rebel.

And the most important thing is to maintain the deterrence of the army, but also to start the formation of local governments, no matter what name is used, in short, there must be their people to serve as the administrators of these Liao.

And it is necessary to maintain a certain number of proportions in these governing bodies.

"There are many disabled soldiers in the army today, and most of them are no longer fit to remain in the army.

But we can go and do a little bit of training, and send them to the cities to be managers. And through this opportunity, some people who are more vague about our major affairs can also be removed from the army. In addition, we can select a certain proportion of people from among the other ethnic groups in Liaodong to be the administrators to assist our people in managing the place. What Mao Xi said was very much in line with Chen Kefu's intentions, since he wanted to make Liaodong his base, he would have to stay in this place for at least two or three years or even longer. So this nest must be consolidated.

It is definitely a good idea to transfer those disabled and even old soldiers to various places to serve as local administrators.

"Mao Sima's opinion is very good, in my opinion, since this land of Liaodong has become my Central Plains. From now on, all the places occupied by our army in Liaodong must be easily subdued. In addition to wearing Han clothes and binding Han people, those who dare to wear the clothes of all ethnic groups and wear various ethnic types in the past will be reduced to slaves. In addition, schools were set up in each city, divided into day and night shifts, and all Liao people under the age of 16 had to enter the school to learn Chinese characters during the day, and all adult Liao people had to learn Chinese at night. After completing their studies, everyone is only allowed to speak Chinese, otherwise, they will be reduced to slaves. …,

If you want to do it, you should be thorough and make it easier to obey and reform, and this is a trick that many nationalities are accustomed to using after occupying other nationalities. Not to mention that the wild boar skin in later generations did not leave its head, that is, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were the Xianbei regime, and they once forced the Han people not to prepare to wear Han clothes. Even those surnames have also been changed to the surnames of Xianbei people, such as Yuwen and Weichi, and most of those double surnames are Hu surnames.

This has a great effect, turning the two opposing sides into assimilation. After a long time, I can't even distinguish my own race, so how can I talk about antagonism. Chen Kefu is now going to use this trick to directly assimilate the Liao people and completely prevent them from having a chance to resurrect. In another generation or two, how can these Liao people who wear Han clothes and speak Han can remember whether they used to wear wild boar skins or pigtails.

Since he occupied Liaodong, he planned to completely turn Liaodong into a part of the Central Plains. Kill all the upper echelons of the Liao people, scatter, and mix all ethnic groups. Han people are managers, easy to obey, he wants to change all this.

"Your Highness, except for the Goguryeo people, most of the Liao people are actually slaves, and only a small number are self-servants. Now that His Highness wants to give them all the fields at once, is it too good for them? Shengmien, fighting Mi Qiu, it's better to take your time. Mao Xi still has some opinions about Chen Kefu's decision.

Chen Kefu is right to think about it, since it is kindness, he can't be too generous, otherwise he won't be able to show his preciousness.

In this way, after the Liao people who were originally from the people moved to other places, they were given the original amount of land, but anyway, there were not many people in this part, and there was little land. As for the other A, the land is divided according to the conditions, and the land is allocated to them, and for the first two years, twenty percent of the harvest of the land is paid to them. For the next three years, thirty percent of them were their remuneration. After five years, the land is owned by them in perpetuity, and they only need to pay the prescribed taxes. Mao Xi thought for a while and nodded, so that the Liao people were divided into three classes, slaves, tenants of the Sui army, and yeoman farmers. The focus was on guarding against the Goguryeos, but it was much more lenient with others.

"Uncle Mao, you don't have to worry too much about this military affairs in the future, you will help me manage the civil affairs. Now that you want to rebel, you have to rely on yourself. ..., Chen Kefu said with a smile.

"Although I don't have the talent of Zhuge Wuhou, I am also willing to do my best for His Highness, and I will die after death!" Mao Xi bowed deeply and said.
