Chapter 386: Li Shen's Huairou Policy
After Li Shen heard Li Chengqian's order, he suddenly felt that the meat in his hand was not fragrant, and he looked at Li Chengqian with resentful eyes.
"Big brother, I'm sincere to you, why are you doing this to me." The tone was like that of a resentful woman.
Brother for many years, he is too familiar with Li Shen's usual tricks, and suddenly he is righteous and awe-inspiring;
"Tenth brother, you are the governor of the marching army, and you should share the worries of the eldest brother, so this matter will be handed over to you, and you are bored all day long."
Li Shen looked at Li Chengqian, who was bad at learning, suddenly turned his head and threw the meat, stood up and said;
"Go back to sleep."
Watching Li Shen walk out of the big tent lonely, Li Chengqian showed a triumphant smile.
His tenth brother is good at everything, but his temperament is too lazy, if you don't force it, you don't know his ability.
After Li Shen woke up the next day, Li Shen took the translator to the place where the prisoners were held, where every two or three thousand people were isolated and detained.
Li Shen looked at these anxious Goguryeo soldiers, and he also sighed in his heart, since ancient times, it is the people who suffer from war.
When they arrived at a place of detention, Li Shen took out a manuscript prepared in advance and asked the translator to read it to them.
I saw the translator clear his throat and shout loudly;
"You all heard clearly, this is the tenth son of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Ji, and also the Governor of this march.
According to the past practice, you will be used as slaves or vanguards, but our Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and Your Majesty is merciful and specially sent His Royal Highness King Ji to rescue you.
His Royal Highness King Ji said, your Goguryeo has been fighting for many years, your homes have been destroyed, the people have been displaced, and the people are struggling to make a living.
My Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was very sad when he heard this, so he sent us over to save the people of Goguryeo.
Eradicate the nobles of Goguryeo who are powerful and prosperous, and fish and meat towns. Let the people of Goguryeo live a good life.
The Tang Dynasty would distribute food to the people, and would also give the people seeds to cultivate to help the people of Goguryeo rebuild their homes.
His Royal Highness King Ji knows that you are not voluntarily joining the army, so I will not embarrass you, and if you are willing to follow our Tang Army to save your homeland, we will give you the treatment of the Tang Army and pay you.
If you don't want to, we will send you food home, and we will never embarrass you.
However, it is unknown whether you will be arrested again when you return home, and whether you will be punished. ”
The translator finished and gave these people some time to think.
Li Shen was not in a hurry to continue to let people read out the policy to other captives. The focus is on the welfare of the people.
Food was distributed, land was given, seeds were given to the people to cultivate, soldiers were fed, and homes were rebuilt.
These simple things are like a gift from heaven to Goguryeo at this moment. These soldiers have wives and children in their families.
There are a few people who can have no scruples, and one person can feed the whole family without starving.
Even if the whole family died, there was a deep hatred for the current Goguryeo court in his heart.
While the captives were discussing, the general Jin En came, and Li Chengqian sent him over to help Li Shen, which was actually a typical case.
Seeing that many of Kim's Goguryeo captives had seen him, if it weren't for Kim's sneak attack, they wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
Kim came over and saluted Li Shen, and then said to the captives;
"Jin is a general who guards the city of Wuliluo, and now he has taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty, not that Jin is greedy for life and afraid of death, but that this Goguryeo is no longer the Goguryeo of the past.
Our people are suffering, our families are struggling to survive, and countless people are starving to death every day.
The aristocratic officials of the court are still oppressing the people.
Although Jin was not a sage, he couldn't bear to see the people of Goguryeo so difficult.
Why don't we do something for our families and the people of Goguryeo, so that we can give an account for future generations.
Farming has already begun around Wuliluo, the soldiers of Goguryeo, time is very short, if we don't cultivate this year, how many of your families will be alive next year. ”
Kim Eun's words did have a great impact on the captives of Goguryeo, and it is true that Goguryeo today is indeed rotten.
They don't know whether their families are alive or dead.
And as Kim Eun said, if Goguryeo is still like this this year, I really don't know how many will survive next year.
"Okay, let's start here and start to join the Tang Army, save the people together, come over to register, organize formations, and conduct training.
If we don't want to, we will distribute food and send them home. Li Shen finally concluded.
This is also the fastest way to solve it, otherwise so many captives will do nothing, and countless grains will be consumed every day.
It is better to give them some food and let them go, Li Shen believes that no one is willing to come to fight, and since they have the opportunity to go home, they will not return to the barracks.
Soon a few tables were set up here, and the translators were in charge of registering or distributing severance food.
The captives were a little hesitant, and some were worried that it was a ploy of the Tang army, and they would kill them after they left.
Some people feel that there is food and drink here, and if they return home, how will they live, will they be arrested again to serve as soldiers?
And there are many people who feel that what Datang said is right, if they don't fight once, their families will have no way to survive in the future.
Soon a person came out of the crowd, Li Shen stared at him tightly, this first person's choice is very important,
Li Shen regretted a little why he didn't arrange a few supports in the first place.
However, this person did not disappoint Li Shen, he came to the place of registration and chose to join the Tang Army, where he could at least eat enough, and he also saw the strength of the Tang Army.
He felt that the Tang Army might really be able to change the current situation in Goguryeo, where everyone had food to eat and land to plant.
Li Shen hurriedly ordered someone to call several generals and prepare to distribute the prisoners.
It is impossible to put so many captives together, and it must be distributed to the various ministries in a scrambled order, and then follow the integration of the ministries, teaching by word and deed, so that the integration will be faster.
Next, groups of captives began to make choices, and most of them chose to stay in the Tang army, which is actually very understandable,
It's not an ideal, it's not a responsibility, it's actually just being able to eat, and when they return home, it will bring a burden to the family.
may also be captured again as a strong man to fight against the Tang army.
Seeing the strength of the Tang Army, they didn't want to fight against the Tang Army, and when the time came, it was better to join the Tang Army and give some food.
If the Tang army attacked their hometown, their families would not have to starve.
So they didn't hesitate to choose to join, since they couldn't beat it, they would have joined.
The first prisoner camp quickly completed its mission, and only three or four hundred people chose to leave, and the remaining two thousand people chose to join.
This is Li Shen's policy of gentleness.
(I saw a question today, why in Journey to the West, the Tang Dynasty, which is the most lacking in scriptures, did not encounter monsters until Tang Seng walked to the border.)
On the contrary, there are more and more monsters in the Tang Dynasty.
And at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the three monsters ate all the people of the Lion Camel Country, and no one came to clean up the three man-eating monsters.
Until the arrival of Tang Seng, Sun Wukong defeated two Bodhisattva mounts, one is Manjushri Bodhisattva's mount Qingshi, and the other is Puxian Bodhisattva's mount White Elephant,
And the last one is even better, such as Dapeng, a relative of Rulai.
The three of them created the human purgatory of Lion Camel Ridge, but in the end, they were able to escape with their whole body, but no one cared about the dead Lion Camel Country, and the matter was over.
Elysium is separated from purgatory on earth by a wall. )
