Chapter 200: Hanyang-gun
In May of the fifth year of Ping, Ding Si, Mu Di collapsed, and there was no heir. The Empress Dowager decreed: Zhongxing orthodoxy, righteous hope, no comparison, its king Feng Datong! So hundreds of officials prepared the law to welcome Lang Xidi. Gengshen, i.e., the emperor's throne, amnesty. Yuzhou (South) Assassin Shi Fan Wang, hated by Huan Wen, winter, October, sitting in the north of the army, so as not to be a concubine, abolished, died at home. In the first year of Longhe (362 AD), Chun, Zhengyou, Zi, amnesty, changed to Longhe. The king of the Ming Dynasty asked to move the capital to Luoyang, and invited those who crossed the river from the Yongjia rebellion, all the people who migrated north, to the south of the river, and the Huan Gong attached the table. When the displaced people heard the rumors, they all returned to the north, Qiaozhou County was almost abolished, the court was afraid, and the edict was stopped, and the people were difficult to stop. In the first year of Xingning (363 AD), in the spring, February, self, amnesty, and change the yuan. In the west, Zhonglang will Yuan Zhen supervise the military of Yuzhou (south), Zhen Shouchun, and the north Zhonglang will supervise the military of Xuzhou. In the second year of Xingning, in March, Gengxu Shuo, read the household registration, so that the land where it was broken, and the legal system was strict, which was called the "Gengxu system", and then the northland displaced people have returned to seven or eight out of ten.
--------- Excerpt from the Introduction
In the summer of the second year of Xingning, on the surface of the East China Sea (including the present-day Yellow Sea and the East China Sea), dozens of Beifu coastal warships lightly cut through the blue water and sailed southeastward like arrows.
Han Xiu, a naval officer in Beifu, stood on the tail tower of the No. 26 battleship in the East China Sea, commanding his own warship. The spinnaker on both sides of the back was crackling in the wind, but the sound sounded very pleasant to Han Xiu's ears, and only Beifu, which was widely cultivated with cotton and had a water-powered textile farm, could make such a thick and waterproof cloth. Han Xiu couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart.
There was also a cool wind blowing on Han Xiu's face, making him feel more sober. The salty smell of sea water is so pleasant. It's almost time to catch up with the earthy aroma of their hometown. A helmsman stood behind him, holding the disc-shaped rudder tightly, following Han Xiu's brief command to rotate the appropriate angle and adjust the direction of the battleship's ground.
And with the faint sound of the trumpet, the oars on both sides are like two rows of flying wings, neatly cocked, stretched forward, and then deep into the sea. A tremendous force stirs the sea. Stir up two lines of water waves. Then with a splash, it lifted again and stretched forward. The battleship was moving forward in this reciprocating cycle, and it happened to be a tailwind, so the speed of the ship seemed to be very fast, which made Han Xiu, who was anxious for the task, feel quite satisfied, and his mood was also a lot more relaxed.
Han Xiu is the son of a fisherman's land on the edge of the Han River in Shangyong County, Liangzhou, and is the first generation of Beifu who grew up under the "red flag". Born in the declining branch of a local family, he studied with a fleeing Luoyang scholar in the clan study since he was a child. Because he has been smart since he was a child, he has always been loved by Mr. Later, the general entered Liangzhou, and the local county school was set up, and the talented gentleman was hired as the county school teacher (that is, the principal), and Han Xiu naturally became the first batch of students of the county school.
Then Han Xiu was admitted to Shangyong County School with the first grade of the county school, which caused a sensation in the local area, and his father ran into the ancestral hall and cried in front of the ancestral tablet.
Soon. Han Xiu took the Liangzhou State Examination in Nanzheng. Get excellent results. According to Han Xiu's ambition, he hoped that he could be admitted to the famous Chang'an University Hall, and at worst, he would be admitted to the famous Yongzhou University Hall. So he went to Chang'an to take the joint entrance examination (only the top of the state examination are eligible to participate in the joint examination held by "famous schools" such as Chang'an University). Han Xiu, who was full of confidence, didn't expect that there would be more strong players among the strong, Chang'an University Hall and its nearby Yongzhou University Hall were so "in demand", he fell off the list.
Maybe it's overconfidence, maybe it's a moment of negligence, Han Xiu didn't fill in the willingness to apply for Liangzhou University Hall when he took the state exam, and Han Xiu who came back is likely to not even be able to read Liangzhou University Hall, because according to the Beifu school system, the admission of the school is based on the combination of filling in the volunteer and the score, and there are many people who apply for the Liangzhou University Hall with "self-knowledge". Just when Han Xiu was so depressed that he almost wanted to hang himself, he was actually admitted to the Nanzheng Wubei Academy.
Since the Higher Armed Forces Academy adopts the method of voluntary filling and active selection, when the number of students who volunteer to fill in the admission is insufficient, they can be selected from the students who have failed or been admitted to each university, provided that the students themselves agree.
Han Xiu had no choice, plus Nanzheng was second only to the Chang'an Martial Arts Academy in Beifu Higher Military Academy, and the martial arts in Beifu was flourishing, so many young students could not be admitted if they wanted to.
Under the warm farewell of his family and clansmen, Han Xiu became an officer student of the Infantry Military Department of the Nanzheng Wubei Academy. When he had just finished his first year of basic subjects, the Privy Council of the Northern Province sent someone to investigate and ask who knew how to be watery and could not get seasick. Han Xiu grew up on the edge of the water, although it is not a white strip in the waves, but it can be regarded as being able to swim in the water, and it is not soft to get on the boat.
Han Xiu, who was selected, picked up his backpack, followed tens of thousands of officers and soldiers and thousands of technicians in a daze, and quietly traveled all the way east, and soon arrived at Weihai, a newly established port in Donglai County, Qingzhou.
In the spring of the fifth year of Shengping, Han Xiu knew that he had become an officer student of the Weihai Naval Academy, and after graduation, he would be an officer of the Beifu Maritime Naval Academy.
In the first year of Longhe, according to the order of the restructuring of the General's Mansion, the schools above the state school were called universities or colleges, the world-famous Chang'an University Hall was renamed Chang'an University, the Yongzhou University Hall with the same name was called Yongzhou University, and the rest of the state schools were also renamed universities, such as Liangzhou University, Yizhou University, etc. The rest, such as Xianyang and Nanzheng Liangzao Academy, were renamed Xianyang Institute of Technology and Nanzheng Institute of Technology, Chang'an Military Academy was renamed Chang'an Military Academy, and the Weihai Military Academy where Han Xiu was located was renamed Weihai Military Academy. The county schools are still called the county governance schools, and the schools at the county school level continue to maintain the name of the school. For example, the Chang'an Military Non-commissioned Officer School is called the Chang'an Non-commissioned Officer School, and the Xianyang Lianggong School is called the Xianyang Engineering School.
According to Zeng Hua's plan, the Beifu army is still divided into the military and the government military system in the service category, but the arms have been classified and changed in more detail. The army is divided into infantry, cavalry, vehicles and soldiers responsible for carrying heavy loads, engineers responsible for building roads and bridges, artillery soldiers responsible for long-range weapons such as stone artillery bed crossbows, and medical personnel responsible for saving lives and helping the wounded.
The first year of Xingning. Han Xiu graduated from the Wei Naval Academy and was assigned to the First Fleet in the East China Sea, which was subordinate to the coastal naval force, as a midshipman, but he was the only captain on the ship, so he had to supervise his own apprenticeship and join the war on the Korean Peninsula. After a year, Han Xiu became an experienced captain, and successfully passed the probationary period, becoming a glorious official naval officer.
As it is cruising speed forward. Moreover, the ships that did not fly the Beifu flag in this area were diverted to the bottom of the sea. According to what is stated in the "Naval Code" drawn up by the great admiral. The Beifu East Sea Fleet has already mastered the sea control in this area, so there is nothing to worry about except for the hurricanes. The Weihai Astronomical Observatory had already reported before the voyage, according to their "empirical forecast".
There is only a 10 percent chance of a hurricane on the sea.
In this case, Han Xiudi's mood was very relaxed, and his thoughts were flying wildly, just like a seagull in the sky. Sometimes soaring by the clouds, sometimes skimming over the top of the waves.
Suddenly, a commotion came from the first floor. When Han Xiu opened his eyes, it turned out that the sailors were playing a game of wrestling wrists in a very boring situation, and they used copper coins as bets.
In the Beifu naval system, there are sailors and sailors on the coastal warships. The sailor is the main configuration, and is responsible for the work of controlling the ship such as paddling and sailing in peacetime, and also controlling the ballista in wartime. Grab a steel sword and bow and throw yourself into battle. And the sailors are specifically responsible for combat. They were responsible for the vigilance work in peacetime, and in wartime, they were the vanguard and rushed to the forefront. Since the current naval battles are mainly based on broadside battles. Therefore, the role of sailors is very important, so they often boast of themselves as the swordsmen of the navy.
Han Xiu said coldly to the adjutant next to him, "You go and tell the stormtroopers to be quiet immediately and call their captain over." ”
Soon there was silence on the first floor, and these sailors, who had just been transferred from the infantry, were not very accustomed to the work on the ship, and always liked to make some tricks in the style of the former army. But they knew that on a battleship, the captain was the supreme authority, and his orders were not to be questioned or violated.
Stormtrooper Captain Yan Shi quickly followed the adjutant to the rear tower and respectfully saluted Han Xiu.
Han Xiu looked at the former captain of the Jizhou Plain County Government, and his face became more and more cold: "Captain Yan, do you know the Navigation Regulations?" ”
Yan Shi's face turned pale all of a sudden, he had only been transferred from Pingyuan County three months ago, and he originally thought that the newly established navy would be easier to get ahead than the "long-established" army, but who knew that the hundreds of pages of "Navigation Regulations" made him memorize half to death. It was easy to put on the gray uniform unique to the Beifu Navy, and the wind and waves made him dizzy for another month.
Today, he saw that there was really nothing to do, so he acquiesced to his subordinates to play some small actions, who knew that everyone had fun all of a sudden, and couldn't help shouting loudly, which was heard by the captain of the tail building. It's really unlucky.
Although Yan Shi, who was on the ship for the first time to perform a mission, did not know the majesty of the captain, he had been a soldier in the Beifu army with strict military law for three years, and of course Yan Shi knew the "power" of the commander. immediately stood up straight, at least in terms of military posture, not giving Han Xiu any excuse. However, as soon as Han Xiu opened his mouth, he became dizzy, and the hundreds of pages of "Navigation Regulations" were his biggest headache.
"Report to the captain, every officer and soldier of the Navy must keep in mind the Navigation Regulations." Yan Shi replied loudly.
"Got it, why make a noise during cruise time?" Han Xiu continued to ask coldly.
Yan Shi was a little panicked, but he still tried hard to maintain his military posture. According to his "experience" as a soldier in the army, as long as the "sneak advance" is not required by the superiors on the march, morale is generally allowed to be boosted, otherwise how can the soldiers run hundreds of miles on two legs, and they are not van troops, and the infantry can also ride horses. I didn't expect that the rules of the navy were completely different, but why was no one reminding me when I got on the ship? It seems to be mentioned in the "Navigation Regulations", but how can I still remember that "ghost book"!
"I'm sorry sir!" If you make a mistake, you must have the courage to admit it, which is one of the traditions of the Beifu Army. Yan Shi immediately said loudly.
"Okay, all the stormtroopers are not allowed to eat tonight as punishment!" Han Xiu said neatly.
Yan Shi opened his mouth, but quickly replied loudly, "Yes, sir!" ”
Han Xiu waved his hand, signaling for Yan Shi to leave. As soon as he turned around, Han Xiu added, "If you commit another offense, I will apply to transfer you to the transport fleet!" ”
When Yan Shi heard this, he was so frightened that he almost went down the stairs, and immediately realized how merciful it was to punish him for not being allowed to eat dinner. I have worked so hard. After looking for several fellow villagers, he finally transferred his team to the escort fleet as a stormtrooper, in order to fight in order to make more meritorious contributions and make more money. This was taught by the "old-timers" who had previously carried out missions on the ship. When the Beifu East Sea Fleet was first established, it took more than a year to suppress the Baekje, Silla, and Wa pirates on the sea. The sailor old-timers talked about how to capture the pirate ships, how to land on the pirates' nests, and especially how to divide the treasures accumulated by the pirates over the years.
Although water thieves are scarce now. But as the vanguard and main force of the water war. It has priority land every time it allocates loot land. In a mission, the cumulative number of military merits is twice as high as that of sailors, and these two points alone can make people fight for their heads. If you go to the transport fleet, what else can you do except guard the grain and grass and manage the cattle and sheep?
Soon, the entire Mariner Stormtrooper became unusually honest. Even walking was very careful, for fear of alarming the seabirds on the mast.
Within two days, the fleet successfully reached the city of Mizokugjeon (now Incheon Metropolitan City, South Korea) in Baekje. It was occupied by the Bukphu Army in the first year of Longhwa and was converted into Hancheon Port, which became an important springboard for the Bukphu Army to enter Baekje. The capital of Baekje, a few dozen miles to the east, was captured in the same year and renamed Seoul.
King Konshogu of Baekje led a group of royal family members to Xiongjin Fortress (present-day Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea), announced that the capital would be moved to Xiongjin, and continued to "confront" the Beifu army. To the north of Kumajin Castle, the Jinjiang River is used as a natural barrier. The southeast is backed by Jilong Mountain. The land is dangerous and fertile, and it seems to be a good base area. However, after the Beifu army opened the passage to the south, it adopted the method of dealing with Goguryeo, and nearly 100,000 Bohai cavalry crossed the Han River and headed south. Rushing straight to Baekje, Silla, and Renna further south, Kumjin Castle was automatically ignored by the Beifu army, just as they had ignored Maruto before.
There is no doubt that the "wolf pack" tactic invented by Lu Zhen, the current governor of Pingzhou, is very effective. In the first year of Longhe, the king of Goguryeo, Gao Zhao, committed suicide in despair with his family in the city of Marudu. Because his Goguryeo people were almost plundered, more than 100,000 Goguryeo women were "transferred" to various parts of Beifu to contribute to the growth of the local population. More than 100,000 young people were "transferred" to Liaodong and Yunzhong to engage in meaningful work such as mining, road construction, and farming and animal husbandry, contributing to the construction of Beifu. Nearly 100,000 people escaped the catastrophe because they were Chinese remnants who were plundered by Goguryeo from Liaodong and other places, changed their faces and changed places, and resettled in the old land of Goguryeo. The remaining 400,000 registered Goguryeo people, about 300,000 people, disappeared cleanly, just as there had never been such a person in the world. No one knows if they fled south to Silla and Baekje, or north to colder places, or if they had already been reduced to mud.
His younger brother Gao Lifu did not die like Gao Xiannu, but followed Gao Zhao's "edict" and surrendered to the Beifu army according to the household registration atlas, and Goguryeo, which was only a lonely city, was finally destroyed, and it was wiped out cleanly. In the end, when Gao Lifu and others were sent to Jiangzuo in the form of prisoners
Later, the old land of Goguryeo was added to the jurisdiction of Bukfu as the "identity" of Joseon County
For Baekje, Silla, and Inna south of Bukhansan Mountain, the Bukfu Army continued to push south and implement wolf pack tactics, but also added frog jump landing tactics.
After gaining sea supremacy, the East China Sea Fleet in Bukfu carried the government troops of Qing and Jizhou, and occupied several strategic coastal towns, such as Baekje Mizou Kujian Fortress which was changed to Hancheon Port, Rennagara Fortress (present-day Gimhae, Busan, South Korea) which was changed to Nasan Port, and Donggang (present-day Pohang Port, South Korea) which was changed to Geumseong (present-day Gyeongju, South Korea) in Jinsan. Then, he desperately built and strengthened these fortresses as a base and springboard, and continued to expand into the hinterland of Baekje, Renna, and Silla.
Later generations suddenly discovered in the so-called era of great colonization that the colonial methods they talked about had been widely and effectively used in the war on the Korean Peninsula two or three hundred years ago, and they found that the magnificent development over the past few hundred years had only continued in the direction guided by the "prophet" Zeng Hua.
Under the banner of the flagship, Han Xiu and other escort warships formed a large circle on the periphery of the port, guarding the port and the transport ships that were busy loading and unloading goods inside. A large number of grains, grass and ordnance were continuously lifted to the port wharf by the booms in the port, and then transported back to Hancheon City by the collected Baekjemin Lady, and some were finally transferred to Seoul dozens of miles upstream.
After a busy day, Han Xiu's fleet rested all night on the sea surface of Hanchuan Port. The next day. In accordance with the command of the flagship, the escort warships were moored to the designated pier in an orderly manner to replenish fresh water and supplies.
The very active Yan Shi led the sailor stormtroopers to atone for their crimes, and worked hard to tie buckets and food to the boom of the dock, transfer them to the side deck of the ship, and then pick them off and transport them to the bottom cabin storage room one by one.
At this moment, I only heard a crying and sobbing sound from the side. The crowd turned to look at it. I saw hundreds of Baekje women being driven to the transport ship. There were also hundreds of young and strong men from Baekje, their hands and feet bound by ropes, and their steps staggered behind, closely watched by hundreds of Beifu sergeants.
Yan Shi, who was busy standing at the dock, clapped his hands and instructed his subordinates to continue to work hard, and then slowly swayed to the side and asked a person who looked like an officer about the situation.
"Brother. What's going on, it's still going to Qingzhou? Isn't it all transshipped by land in Liaodong? Yan Shi asked.
Yan Shi's Pingyuan County accent made the officer from Qinghe County, not far away, feel very cordial, and the matter was not a military secret, so he said cheerfully: "A new coal mine has opened in Liaoxi County, and now a group of miners are urgently needed, and the waterway is much faster, so I will trouble you." These women were consigned to Jicheng by a trading company. ”
"We still have to rush to Linyu (now Qinhuangdao, Hebei)?" Yan Shi sighed in his heart and immediately asked. As a naval officer. Of course, he knew that the closest port to Liaodong and Jicheng was Linyu Port. He also knew that in addition to Weihai Port, Hanchuan Port, Luoshan Port, and Jinshan Port, the military ports of the East China Sea Fleet now include Lushun Port rebuilt by Ma Shijin in Liaodong County, and Linyu Port in Liaoxi County. Qingdao Port, which is also Donglai County, is only used as a berthing and transshipment place except for the three port bases of Weihai, Lushun and Qingdao.
"I guess so, but you'll have to ask your captain."
Yan Shi nodded, knowing that this was the case, so he asked, "You have gained a lot this time." ”
"Now most of the people of the Three Kingdoms have fled to the mountains when they hear the wind, and the Bohai and Heishui cavalry have no choice but to go deeper and deeper, and some of them have already been killed near Jinshan Port. If this continues, the three kingdoms of Baekje, Silla, and Renna may not last long, but I am afraid that they will soon follow the old path of Goguryeo. The fellow officer sighed.
Yan Shi didn't sigh so much, but what he was thinking about in his heart was something else.
"So there's no going on to fight. If you go out of the escort mission, I don't know when you will be able to earn military merits and receive rewards. ”
"Son, be content. Your military exploits and rewards are all earned by these talents. The fellow officer was a little sentimental and pointed to the Baekje woman and man next to him.
"Grandma, if you don't rely on the prisoners and money of these three countries, how can you fill up the military expenses of the war in the past few years?" Yan Shi said disapprehantly.
"Who are you listening to when you say this?" The fellow officer asked in some surprise.
"Our captain said that." Since being cleaned up by Han Xiu, Yan Shi has always followed him these days, even eating close to him, which is not immediately learned and sold a few words.
"What did you captain say?"
He said that this war can only make money, not break it, whether it is long-term profit or short-term profit, you must have a stalk scale in your heart. Only when our Beifu fights more and becomes richer, will the people be brave and warlike. Yan Shi became more and more angry, as if that was what he said, "How can there be a war that does not plunder the wealth of the population, think that the Xiongnu and Xianbei went south, and Goguryeo disturbed the border, which one was not plundering and looting?" Why is it our turn to win the battle instead of convincing people with virtue? Let these people go and fatten them up and then come and kill us? ”
The fellow officer who was still feeling pity just now was speechless for a while, and only asked for a long time: "Who is your captain, who has such knowledge?" ”
"My captain is a member of the first class of the Wei Naval Academy, and he once listened to the general's lectures." Yan Shi said triumphantly.
"No wonder, how can I say this the same as what my family chief said, he graduated from the city military academy and was also taught by the general." The fellow officer muttered.
Soon, the entire fleet was loaded, and then anchored and set sail. A few days later, the fleet suspended at Linyu Port for three days, then turned back to Weihai Port, took a battalion of Qingzhou government soldiers, rested overnight at Jishan Island (Jeju Island), bypassed Luoshan Port and finally transferred to Jinshan Port.
After putting down the Qingzhou soldiers and carrying treasures, specialties and population, the First Fleet of the East China Sea slowly left Jinshan Port. Looking at the Jinshan Port and the land of Silla that were getting farther and farther away, Han Xiu suddenly pointed to the land that appeared between the lines of heaven and water and said, "Yan Laoshi, do you know that place?" ”
"Captain, I don't know." Yan Shi is really honest.
"This is Silla, the land is fertile, suitable for planting grains and rice, silkworms, making cloth, riding cattle and horses, all connected, it is a rich land." Han Xiu sighed, "I'm going to buy a large piece of land near Jinshan City, set up a farm, and buy some serfs, and that's it." ”
In the past, Han Xiu could never have imagined that as a scholar, he would actually become an officer, and he was also a naval officer whose family couldn't understand anything. What is even more unexpected is that his son of a fisherman from Shangyong County would become a big landowner in this place, and his military exploits are enough for him to enclose a large piece of land here.
After a long time, Han Xiu asked leisurely towards Silla, "Honestly, where did you say it was?" ”
"Isn't that the country of Silla?" Yan Shi was a little depressed, didn't the captain just say it?
"No, to be honest, that's the future Hanyang County of Beifu."
