Chapter 260: Grace and Might
Although the country is great and warlike, it will perish, although the world will be safe, and if you forget the war, you will be in danger.
This is a famous saying in the ancient military book Sima Fa, which is the supreme reason. Goguryeo has been established for more than 500 years, and war has not been forgotten since the founding of the country. This is a country of war, which has fought for more than 500 years, defeated and encroached on neighboring countries step by step, and finally became the most powerful country in Liaodong.
It's a pity that none of them knows, and someone among the Central Plains has already summed up a sentence, although the country is big, the belligerent will die. A country that has been fighting for more than 500 years will inevitably end up with death.
Goguryeo is fire, full of aggression all the time. Whatever came close to them, they burned, so they burned everything around them and made a powerful Goguryeo.
When they finally burned to the Central Plains Dynasty, they found out that the Central Plains people were water.
Water is good for all things without fighting, and good is like water.
Water is weak and kind, and they are humble and tolerant, so since ancient times, the tribes around Central Plains and China have always thought that the Central Plains Chinese civilization is easy to bully. But they don't know that water is weak, but it is also the strongest. Once the bottom is reached, the true power contained in the water is revealed. The flood swallowed everything.
The fire of the Goguryeo people met the water of the Central Plains, and how the spark competed with the flood was destined to be drowned. Gao Ju Zai was warlike, fought for 500 years, and finally paid the price of destruction today.
Under Chen Kefu's order, the entire Goguryeo in eastern Liaodong was more than 1,000 miles from east to west, more than 2,000 miles from north to south, and nearly 2 million Goguryeo people trembled. Under the iron hooves of the cavalry, all the Goguryeo nobles were killed on the spot. In fact, the Goguryeo people were all tied to ropes, strung together, and escorted to Liaodong City as slaves.
In Liaodong City, the prisoners in the prisoner camp who have been captive for several months are basically used to the current life. In addition to doing some simple tasks every day, they have food and drink, and although they don't eat much, they don't have to worry about hunger. For many people in the city who were slaves, this kind of life is much better than what they used to be, and some even hope that this life can continue forever.
It's just that today's atmosphere is obviously wrong, and teams of Sui troops near the prisoner camp have been surrounded. Many people remembered the time more than half a friend ago, and that time was the same. At first, there were many Sui troops who surrounded them, and then 80,000 Goguryeo soldiers were taken directly from the battalion, and then many ordinary people and adult men who were not soldiers were also taken away. As soon as he left, he never returned, and later heard that the commander of Ulji had killed 40,000 Sui prisoners outside the city, so the marshal of the Sui army took revenge and killed 80,000 Goguryeo.
Are you going to kill the captives again today? But have you heard that the Sui State has already won the war? Many timid people are even good at shaking their hands and feet, and some menstrual women even cry.
In a short time, the prisoner camp was driven to the empty school grounds, where a high wooden platform had been erected in the distance.
"Lord Sangkoku, please!" "Marshal, please!" Under the high platform, Chen Kefu stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and asked Su Wei to come to the stage first, although Su Wei was the prime minister, he really didn't look at him much in Chen Kefu's eyes. A prime minister who was demoted to Liaodong, and a prime minister who can only hum haha, he really doesn't like to see him.
He knows Su Wei very well, and when the Sui Dynasty was opened, he and Gao Ying and Li Delin presided over the power of the Sui Dynasty and were the three elders of the Sui Dynasty. After Li Delin was demoted, he and Gao Ying worked together for many years, and they were very capable and especially good at internal affairs. The reign of the emperor at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty was basically the credit of five people. These five people are Yang Jian, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and Gao Ying, Su Wei, Li Delin, and Yang Su, the prime ministers. It was the five of them who unified the Central Plains and created a prosperous era.
Gao Ying is a person who tends to plan and set strategies, Li Delin is good at employing people, Yang Jian is good at decisiveness, and Yang Su is both civil and military, and he has broken hands. Su Wei can be on a par with these people, of course, he is not a vegetarian, he is the best internal politician.
However, as the prime minister, Su Wei is still a political tumbler, but he is not a famous minister. He was demoted at first because of the formation of a party camp, and later he was used, and then he had a conflict with Yang Guang because of the incident, and he was demoted again. By the time he was used for the third time, the old man had no more discipline, and he had completely become a sound worm, and the emperor was whatever he said, in the phase, but he watched Yang Guang defeat the world of the Great Sui, and this old man had a very important responsibility.
Su Wei is the most observant of Yan Sè, and since he was picked up by Chen Kefu, he has sensitively discovered that this young but prestigious handsome man does not care much about him at all. sent a small counselor to accompany him to drink tea and chat in the house every day. As soon as he asked to visit the barracks or other requests, he immediately squeaked and refused to agree. ,
On the battlefield that day, Chen Kefu killed all the coalition troops, and Su Wei already knew that the young marshal in front of him was definitely a ruthless sè, a ruthless sè that could be compared with Yang Su at the beginning. So in front of Chen Kefu, he didn't put on a half-point prime minister's stand, but was like an ordinary elder, very kind.
Standing on the stage, looking at the countless slaves below, Su Wei was also a little suspicious, what is Chen Kefu going to do? It's not like you're already addicted to killing, and today you're going to kill all the captives in this city. But he's smart enough not to say anything... Just look at it like that.
"Lord Xiangguo, what do you think of these captives in front of you?" Chen Kefu stood behind Su Wei and said with a smile.
"They are all young and strong, the men are strong, and the women are young, not bad." Su Wei didn't know what Chen Kefu meant, and casually agreed.
Pointing to the prisoners in the audience, Chen Kefu said, "Lord Xiangguo, these Goguryeo invaded my border several times and killed millions of my soldiers. Now that our army has just defeated Goguryeo, there are still many places that have not yet been settled, so Ben Shuai wants to kill all the noble lords and lords of Goguryeo in these captives today, so as to show deterrence and make those stupid Liao people dare not act rashly.
Prime Minister, what do you think? ”
Su Wei was shocked, this Chen Kefu really wanted to kill the prisoner, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little. Now that Goguryeo has been pacified, there is no point in killing again. And if you kill too much, it will undoubtedly be bad for the name of the Great Sui.
"This, killing prisoners does not surrender. Now that he has been captured, why don't you send it to the capital and wait for His Majesty to send it? "Xiangguo, hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the city of Pyongyang built up a Jingguan, when Liaodong attacked the city that day, when the heads of 40,000 captured soldiers fell to the ground, why didn't the Goguryeo people feel that they would not surrender after killing the prisoners? Xiangguo, more than 100,000 soldiers in Liaodong are all angry in their hearts, or, Xiangguo, you will personally talk to the soldiers? Chen Kefu sneered.
Su Wei was stuck there, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
He didn't expect Chen Kefu, the marshal, to give him such facelessness. A face is extremely ugly, but he is also the prime minister. But let him dare those Qiu Ba to reason, he really doesn't want to go. He is a dignified countryman, reasoning with those big-headed soldiers, and losing more identity.
"Since Marshal Chen thinks he should be killed, then kill!" Su Wei yīn had a calm face, and his tone was a little abnormal.
Chen Kefu laughed a few times, sank into his dantian, and said to the captives below, "I, Su Xiangguo of the Great Sui Imperial Court, said that all Goguryeo people should be killed." The soldiers, according to Su Xiangguo's words, killed all the Goguryeo nobles. ”
The soldiers below had already put those nobles aside, and at this time, they rushed to the side with those noble leaders with pale faces and no pleading. Rows of Modao warriors stood there with Modao knives in their hands, and they served as executioners today. A drum sounds,
Xiang Xiang's Mo knife flashed, and in the plopping sound, the ground was full of heads. Su Wei's face turned white, and he almost didn't fall. He had never seen such a bloody scene, and he almost couldn't help jumping to scold Chen Kefu. Obviously, he Chen Kefu wanted to kill someone, but now he wants to splash this dirty water on his head, what is this.
After a full hour, more than 3,000 aristocratic leaders and their families were all beheaded, and the smell of blood filled the entire school field.
"Lord Xiangguo, all the nobles have been killed, do you have anything else to say?" Su Wei held the plastic bag, his face was wilted, and he said weakly, "The official suddenly feels that he is in good health, and he wants to go back to the house to rest, and the rest of the matter is decided by the marshal." "Su Wei was frightened, if Chen Kefu, the murderous demon king, killed all the people today, it is estimated that the black cauldron of indiscriminate killing will have to be carried on his body.
"Oh, it seems that I was in a hurry, and I got cold on the road. Chen Lei, take someone to send Su Xiangguo back to the house, remember to send twice as many people to protect Xiangguo. Chen Kefu politely asked Chen Lei to take someone to send Su Wei back.
As soon as Su Wei left, Chen Kefu smiled and said to the captives below, "Now Liaodong is the Liaodong of the Great Sui, and you are also my people of the Great Sui." Today, the commander has an order to capture the slaves of the Goguryeo people and enter the labor camp to work. The rest of the people of all ethnic groups, those who had the original land, were given the land according to the number and went to the land arranged by our army to cultivate. The rest of the former landless, no matter whose slaves they were, will be restored to their status as "free" from this day forward. Not only that, but each person can also be given 20 acres of land, and in the first two years, 20% of the harvest can be left, and in the last three years, 50% of the harvest can be left. Five years later, you will be the owners of these fields. "This is to beat a stick and then give a sweet date, first in front of everyone, directly cut off more than 3,000 heads. After the intimidation was over, the fields were divided so that the captives could leave the camp. When they heard that they could go out and get a piece of land in the future, everyone was overjoyed.
However, all young and unmarried women must be selected by the Sui army soldiers, craftsmen, and people's husbands, and those who are selected will be the wives and concubines of the Sui army soldiers. Those who are not selected can go home with their families. If there is a woman in the family who chooses to marry the Sui people, for each one, his family will share an additional 20 acres of land. ”
The soldiers had already been notified of the matter of letting the soldiers choose a woman to start a family, and they could choose one regardless of whether they had a wife or not. There are also 20 settling-in allowances for picking, where can I find such a good thing. As soon as Chen Kefu's words fell, the young and unmarried women in the prisoner camp were taken aside, and the single soldiers who were already in their twenties and thirties and had no wives had all begun to line up there to pick a wife.
