Chapter 433: Hanyang County and Qingyang County
The sudden collapse of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not mean the end of decades of turmoil, it was just a prelude to a new round of melee between countries.
Less than 20 days after the Northern Qi Dynasty was suddenly destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, a new round of war around the division of the Northern Qi heritage was vigorously launched.
The Northern Zhou and Southern Chen, the Northern Zhou and Wang Yong, the Northern Zhou and the remnants of the Northern Qi, the remnants of the Northern Qi and the Southern Chen, and the remnants of the Northern Qi and Wang Yong, the melee between the various forces was simply a mess.
If it weren't for the fact that Nan Chen was jealous of Wang Ze's navy, and had suffered Wang Ze's big loss, Wang Yong's army was also very strong, and this time Wang Ze also showed the goodwill of reconciliation, so Chen Jun was a little taboo against Wang Yong and avoided it many times, otherwise even Wang Yong and Nan Chen would probably break out into a big war because of the ownership of Gaoping County and other places.
However, at this point, the remnants of the Northern Qi also knew that the Northern Qi had perished, and even the Gao Qi clan that they had been loyal to in the past had been almost extinct under the slaughter of the Northern Zhou army, and the next war was mainly the Northern Zhou, Wang Yong, and Southern Chen.
Although they are still stubbornly resisting the attacks of various countries, this is also the general who led the rest of the Northern Qi has their own plans in their hearts, and this is also to get better preferential treatment from the other party when they surrender in the future, after all, only after the other party knows your strength, they will look at you differently.
To this extent, according to the former Northern Qi general Dugu Yongye, who guarded Luoyang, he had sent his son to begin to prepare to take refuge in the nearest Northern Zhou, and from his current general situation in the world, it seems that only the Northern Zhou is the most capable force to unify the world.
And Dugu Yongye has a lot of prestige here because he has been stationed in the Heluo area all the year round in the past, and even if he surrenders in the future, he will be valued by the Northern Zhou.
At present, the Northern Zhou Dynasty has completely occupied the entire annex of the Fenshui Basin by relying on its favorable opportunity to seize the first hand, and the north of the great river is also centered on Yecheng, which is personally seated by Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong, and continues to occupy the original Northern Qizhou County in the north of the great river.
The Northern Route Army led by Yu Wenxian entered Shuozhou along the Fenshui, and then went down the Sanggan River into Youzhou, and they were rushing to occupy this important land in the north before the Turkic, Kumoxi, Khitan and other forces reacted, otherwise these nomads would inevitably plunder again.
It's just that the Turkic wooden pole Khan who suddenly reacted was very dissatisfied with Yuwen Yong's attack on Northern Qi in one fell swoop, after all, a large amount of property that Northern Qi attacked the Turks every year was also a big entry for the Turks, and after getting a guarantee from his son-in-law Yuwen Yong that he would inevitably make up for the tribute of Northern Qi, the Turks put out the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob.
After quelling the Turks' robbery and blocking the small movements of Kumoxi and the Khitans, Yu Wenyong was even more annoyed by the Turks' extortion, and he had already made a decision in his heart that after pacifying all the forces of the Northern Qi, he would lead a large army to crusade against the Turks.
The commander of the Northern Zhou army attacking Luoyang was Wei Chi Hui and the deputy commander was Da Xi Chengxing, and at the beginning the attack of the two of them in the middle was met with stubborn resistance from Dugu Yongye, and the progress was not smooth.
However, when Dugu Yongye decided to throw himself into the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they quickly occupied the center of the whole world in the Heluo region, and then the two led tens of thousands of troops to continue to attack the Northern Qizhou County to the east, and the troops pointed directly at Liangzhou (Kaifeng), and then to the east was the Western Yanzhou, which was just captured by Wang Yong.
Compared with Yu Wenyong's confrontation with Wang Yong in Hebei, Yu Wenxian occupied Youzhou in northern Xinjiang, and Wei Chi Yuan, who attacked the Central Plains, had a heavy burden on their shoulders, because they were not only responsible for the stable occupation of the Northern Qi hometown south of the Great River, but also to resist Wang Yong's army that was constantly expanding westward, and also to occupy the Central Plains Prefecture north of the Huai River before Nan Chen.
At this time, the Northern Zhou Zhou Division, which was going down the Yellow River, encountered a powerful fleet on the Yellow River, and the relatively powerful Northern Zhou Zhou Zhou Division in their eyes was completely annihilated under the attack of the other party, and if the two continued to advance eastward after arriving in Liangzhou, they could only use land to transport supplies.
In Huaibei, Nan Chen mobilized 200,000 troops to the north, and there were nearly 100,000 troops near Suizhou near Xiangyang.
When the war in the Central Plains was rekindled, the warm spring in the East China Sea was coming to an end, and the sunshine of late spring was already a little strong, and the crops in the Xia Kingdom had ushered in the most suitable season for growth!
Even Hanyang County and Qingyang County, south of the Han River, which had been fully occupied by the Xia army, were already full of fertile wheat or rice on the plains and dams near rivers and streams.
Hanyang-gun and Gyeongyang-gun are both newly established counties in the Xia Kingdom this year, and the hometown of Baekje south of the Han River was established as Hanyang-gun, which was located in the former Xiongjin Castle, but it has now been renamed Hanyang Castle.
Gyeongyang County, on the other hand, was re-established by Wang Ze after the destruction of the Silla Kingdom by the relocation of a large number of people, and there are no Silla descendants here. Go to Audiobook.com
After Goguryeo had to sue for peace and signed a peace armistice agreement with the Xia Kingdom, Silla, the younger brother, was naturally given up by Goguryeo as a substitute for the dead, because the most important condition for Wang Ze to agree to an armistice with Goguryeo was that Silla must perish.
Although Gao Yangcheng also knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but when the knife was put on his neck, he had to give up this vassal country, after all, the friends of the dead Dao did not die in the poor Dao, as long as it could be exchanged for Goguryeo's respite, Silla would die.
After the armistice with Goguryeo, Wang Ze set aside enough troops to deter Goguryeo, and at the same time continuously drew a large number of troops to attack Silla.
After all, Silla is only a small country, and there are less than a million people in the whole country, and King Jinheung was furious when he learned that he was abandoned by Gao Yangcheng, but he had no choice but to desperately expand his army, and at most Silla's army expanded to 300,000 people.
You must know that there are only about 200,000 young people in the whole country of Silla, which means that Silla also mobilized a large number of strong women into the army, and he tried to use such a large army to deter Wang Ze, so as to seek Wang Ze's concession, at least let Silla continue.
However, King Zhenxing was disappointed, how could Wang Ze be afraid of his so-called 300,000 army? When Wang Ze was even weaker, the Su clan of the Wa Kingdom had not mobilized more than 200,000 troops, which was several times that of Wang Ze, but in the end it did not end in defeat and annihilation.
While attacking Silla from all sides, Wang Ze forced the Silla army to divide its troops everywhere, and at the same time continuously transferred 200,000 troops, of which nearly 80,000 were the National Guards of the Donghae counties, and more than 100,000 armed colonists who were willing to migrate to Silla were selected from each county.
In this way, the Xia army in front continued to fight against the Silla army, and the armed people in the rear gradually followed and occupied the area, completely in a step-by-step steamroller occupation method, ignoring all kinds of tactics used by the Silla people to lure the enemy, divert the tiger from the mountain, and so on.
In the face of Wang Ze's continuous attacks, he refused King Jinheung's request for peace dozens of times in succession, King Jinheung was desperate, and he began to frantically requisition all the people of Silla to pick up weapons, simply trying to use this crazy action of the Silla people to make the Xia army withdraw from the territory of Silla.
However, Wang Ze didn't let him get his wish, after learning about the disgusting behavior of the sticks in later generations, what reason could such a nation stay in the world? What's more, this place will inevitably be the core area of the Xia Kingdom in the future, and leaving a group of aliens will not add to their own blockage?
After learning that several young Xia soldiers had been attacked and killed by Silla women and children disguised as civilians, Wang Zeyi gritted his teeth and ordered that all the cities and regions of Silla resist, regardless of military and civilian population, be killed, even the old and weak.
This war was so tragic, but in the face of the Xia army armed to the teeth, the Silla people could not achieve victory no matter how desperate they were, and when Silla destroyed the country, there were only more than 200,000 people left in the country, most of whom were left behind because they were young women, and the other tens of thousands of surviving young men were used as slaves.
In the end, even these more than 200,000 people were all sent out of Silla's hometown after the war, and all of them became slaves of the Xia Kingdom.
With the passage of time, Wang Ze continued to enrich a large number of people to the hometown of Silla, and today, a year after the establishment of Gyeongyang County, there are already 1780,000 people settled, and Hanyang County has 250,000 people because of its proximity to Sanqi, and there are more immigrants in Sanqi.
In this way, on the peninsula south of the Han River, there are already more than 400,000 people alone, and if you add the troops of Han Zigao and Zheng Kui stationed in these two counties, as well as other troops and horses to help in the war, the population of the Xia Kingdom south of the Han River will exceed 500,000.
Now there are more than 20,000 people under the command of Han Zigao, and he led his army to be stationed in the northernmost part of Gyeongyang County near the border of the Namhan River, while the western Hanyang County was still under the responsibility of Zheng Kui, and he led his 20,000 horses to garrison the Comfort Fortress, of which the Jeju Island Detachment was also stationed on Ganghwa Island in the later generations.
Han Zigao and Zheng Kui led their troops to garrison the northern border, and the internal security was handed over to the National Guard, most of these National Guards were cavalry on horseback, and many of them were veterans who were requisitioned after being discharged from the army, so their combat effectiveness was not weaker than that of the army under the command of Han Zigao.
Most of the newly relocated Han people in the area were armed immigrants who moved from the territory to consolidate their occupation, and they still maintained the fierceness of the people of the Xia Kingdom, so although Hanyang County and Gyeongyang County were mountainous and sparsely populated, there was no remnant of Goguryeo and Silla that could survive.
Because the battle in Gyeongyang-gun was fierce during the destruction of Silla, many castles were left in ruins, so Gangseong (Daegara Castle), which was first captured by Han Zigao, became one of the most well-preserved castles.
It has also become the temporary seat of the county guard of Qingyang County, and it has become the richest land in Qingyang County in just two years because it is located at the junction of river and sea transportation, it is very close to Qinjin, and there is a large plain alluvial from the Qingjiang River (Nakdong River) nearby.
