Sun Tai disguised himself and took a Tang merchant ship out of the mouth of the Yangtze River into the deep sea, and then turned south to Dongning Island.

Along the way, he was a little apprehensive and a little excited, the legendary Tang Kingdom, I don't know what it will be like.

I don't know what Mr. Wen has become, and I don't know if he still remembers himself...... I don't know if he has changed his original intention.

He was born in a down-and-out family, in fact, he is no different from the poor people in his generation, otherwise he would not worship Du Zigong as a teacher and a Taoist.

Therefore, he had no loyalty to the scholars and the imperial court.

Later, I met Wenyi in Jin'an County, and I was attracted by ideas that were completely different from the times.

If he hadn't already had a master, he would not hesitate to join Wen Yi's command.

But over the years, he has always paid attention to Tang Guo and secretly helped Tang Guo do a lot of things.

The most regrettable thing for him is that he has never seen Wen Yi again for so many years, and he doesn't know what the Tang Kingdom has developed.

This time he had the opportunity to go to Tang Kingdom instead of his master, and his mood can be imagined.

When he arrived, Tang Guo happened to be holding a triumphal ceremony, and he had not even gone to meet Wen Yi before he enjoyed this wonderful scene.

More than 10,000 heavily armed soldiers, escorting 20,000 Baekje prisoners, lined up to enter the gate of Mengqi City.

Tens of thousands of people holding small red flags shouted feverishly: "Long live the king, long live the Tang army......

Wen Yi stood at the head of the city to personally welcome the return of the soldiers, and his mood was equally excited, and he couldn't help but chant 'Long live' with everyone.

It's just that he shouted 'Long live the Tang Army' and 'Long live the people', and this scene was recorded by Zhou Qi behind him and written into the annals of history.

The triumphant procession made its way down the main avenue and exited through the gate on the other side. The prisoners were sent to the prisoner camp, and the soldiers were returned to the barracks.

Wen Yi did not return to the palace, but took the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to the barracks to celebrate the victory with everyone.

He announced on the spot that the 10,000 taels of gold that Baekje compensated would not be given to the soldiers who participated in the war.

However, it will not be directly issued in gold, but will be issued as a commemorative medal.

10,000 taels of gold and 20,000 cents, and one person is divided into five coins, which is about equal to five copper coins, which is definitely a huge amount of money.

And it is issued in the form of a commemorative medal, you must know that this is the first medal since the restructuring of the Tang Army, and the significance is not something that can be measured by money.

This reward alone made the whole army boil, shouting Long live the king.

The follow-up feasts and the like were omitted, and after returning to the palace, everyone began to discuss meritorious deeds and deal with prisoners.

Chai Ben said: "This is the merit book, and the greatest credit is Brigadier Wang An and the gunboat, followed by the achievement regiment......"

Wen Yi took it and flipped through it carefully, and handed it to Wei Ran, the squire of the military department: "After checking it clearly, the reward will be awarded according to the standard, and then it will be reported to the cabinet for review." ”

Wei Ran took the exam book and said, "Yes." ”

Tang Guo's system in this regard is still quite perfect, and there are strict standards for what kind of reward is given for how much merit is given, unless Wen Yi wants to reward anyone exceptionally.

And then there are the captives.

Wen Yi said: "These Baekje troops are all elite, and it's a pity to be reduced to slaves. The main thing is that we don't have a shortage of slaves now, let's try to co-opt. ”

Xue Dayuan said: "The king is wise, if we can transform all these 20,000 captives, the strength of our army will expand to 90,000, and it is already a strong country second only to Yan and Jin." ”

Mo Jun nodded and said, "Don't say that all 20,000 are converted, even if only 10,000 are converted, it is a great joy." ”

He Fang said with a smile: "I think the possibility of the successful transformation of these 20,000 captives is very high. ”

Mo Jun was puzzled and said, "Oh? Why is General He so determined? ”

He Fang said: "When he was in Tsushima, Brigade Commander Lin successfully separated the captives and the king of Baekje with a little trick. I heard that these captives hated Baekje very much, and it was much easier to take them in. ”

He told Lin Xingzhu's plan again, and everyone was first surprised, and then happy.

Chen Xiu couldn't help but boast: "Brigade Commander Lin's plan is very good, the king should reward him heavily." ”

Wen Yi already knew about this matter, and said, "It has been recorded in the merit book." ”

Later, everyone discussed how to reform this group of prisoners, Tang Guo was too good at this aspect, and soon came up with a solution.

It is nothing more than to first reduce them to slaves and let them work, and then give them a chance to learn to get out of slavery, and then give them wives and children.

Since the implementation of the plan of the User, the Tang State has obtained a large number of women from there in recent years, plus native women from Luzon.

The last thing they lacked was women of the right age, marriage, and childbearing, and it was no problem to give each of these captives a daughter-in-law.

Finally, there is the handling of the surrendered generals.

There were some small differences among the people here, and He Fang, Chen Xiu and others thought that these generals had many merits and should be surrendered and retained.

And with them as an example, the rest of the captives will surrender faster.

Wen Yi's attitude was completely different from theirs: "My Tang Kingdom doesn't need such rotten officers, and all high-ranking generals don't need to be demoted to civilians." ”

"Especially that Mu Lie, he is simply selfish to the extreme, in order to protect his family, he actually took 20,000 siblings to die."

Chen Xiu also wanted to defend him: "He is also for his family, which is understandable." Moreover, he is the general of the Baekje Naval Division, and he also has outstanding points, so it would be a pity to waste it like this. ”

Wen Yi said unhappily: "What is a pity? He would not have chosen to do so if he had the slightest loyalty. ”

"Why did he think that Buyeo Ju would kill him? Even if Buyeo had to kill him, he would have a better way to deal with it. ”

"Bring the sailor back first, and then choose suicide...... I don't believe that in this case, Fuyu will kill his whole family. Not only will he not kill, but he will also treat his family well. ”

"He's the kind of guy who is so selfish that he thinks the whole world owes him...... How could I possibly use such a person? ”

"You asked Baekje to ask for his family, do you think Buyeo can't guess the reason? Why does he pretend he doesn't know how to give people to you? Ever wondered why? ”

"A selfish person like Mu Lie is a scourge wherever he goes. If you bring the evil to your own house, I will pretend not to know. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, especially Wu Yinzhi, who was present next to him, was even more ashamed. I thought that I was counting others, but I didn't expect to be calculated by others.

My own experience is still too little, and I must learn more and watch more in the future.

Seeing that everyone understood, Wen Yi didn't emphasize it too much, and continued: "The middle and low-level officers will be screened, and the criticism meeting will be held to let the Baekje soldiers choose whether to keep them or not. ”

"Even if you don't have too many vices, you must start as an ordinary soldier, and if you want to be an officer, you must show your real skills and climb up from the bottom again."

The charter is determined, and the next step is implementation.

After the meeting, Wen Yizheng wanted to go back to the harem, and a waiter came to report: "Taoist Sun Tai is asking to see him outside." ”
