Chapter 1379 Planning for Goryeo
Li Xin did not have this power to deal with the Khitans.
But he still has the right to deal with the Liaodong region.
"Get food to help the industry!"
Sitting in Liaoyang City, facing the chaotic and shortage of food, Li Xin said boldly: "Youzhou and Jeju Island have a lot of food. In addition to providing military rations, the rest are used as relief food."
"Build canals and roads so that they all have to do something."
With a command, Liaodong was shocked instantly.
Ten thousand Tang soldiers extended along the official road and continuously suppressed the towns, villages and cities on the roadside.
Hundreds of thousands of Bohai people were forced to accept this disaster relief model due to the dual pressure of food and the army.
In other words, between the Khitans and the Tang people, the Bohai people would rather accept the leadership of the Tang people.
To put it bluntly, it was the Khitans who exploited Liaodong too much, with more than 70% taxes, and countless rebellions over the past decades.
Before the Liao Shengzong's large-scale sinicization, these places were absolutely unstable.
In addition, cultural identity is also a large part of the reason.
Ruled by the Khitans, it was a country where the rituals were ruled by barbarism. Although the Bohai people were defeated, their psychological advantages could not be removed.
For example, the Liaodong region, like Youzhou, has a southern official system, implements a prefecture and county system, and directly silently the Bohai people are equivalent to the Han people.
It’s not the fault of the Khitans.
The people of Bohai mainly farmed, spoke Chinese, wore Tang clothes, read the Four Books and Five Classics, and merged with the Liaodong Han people after the Anshi Rebellion, and naturally had a very high similarity.
Therefore, while Li Xin restored the rule of local prefectures and counties, restored the original officials, and respected the three elders, as if they were in the Central Plains, restoring local order.
After that, labor-for-relief.
It seems that labor-for-relief has become the magic weapon for time travelers, and the ancients' minds are all muddy.
But in fact, the ancients had long known the benefits of labor-for-relief, but they were subject to various constraints and were difficult to implement.
The biggest difficulty is the consumption of food.
A bucket of grain can make porridge into a family of three fool for a month.
But if one person works hard, he will get half a stone of food every month, and the loss will be more than ten times.
In addition, disasters mean chaos in order. Once the victims are given enough food, it is fine to do things, but there are also many people who are in trouble.
However, Li Xin now has 200,000 people, and the various shortcomings of using labor for relief are completely under control, and various places are also restoring order in an orderly manner.
"deploy!"
At this time, Zhang Weiqing suddenly came back. He was busy arranging personnel from all over the place. Li Xin was a little surprised when he returned.
"Aren't you urging the distribution of food and grass? Why did you return to Liaoyang?"
"News came from Goryeo!"
Zhang Weiqing drank a sip of wine and said, "They seem to know that we have won a great victory. I have received the news that when the Goryeo people come, they are ready to get the remaining 70,000 Goryeo soldiers."
"Secondly, I hope we fulfill our promise and hand over the boundaries south of the Yalu River to them."
"In fact, they have secretly sent people to occupy land, but they are not open and honest without our permission."
"What the Yalu River Jurchens told me."
"The beauty that the Goryeo people think of!"
Li Xin sneered: "Why should we hand over the land we have built up so hard that we can't bear to him?"
"I think so too!"
Zhang Weiqing echoed: "So, I asked the Yalu River Jurchens to attack the Goryeo people and prevent them from succeeding!"
"But this is not a solution. After all, tens of thousands of Korean soldiers are not our subordinates."
"The Goryeo soldiers have endured several wars, and they are no longer the same as before!"
Li Xin was unwilling to let the person go back, so he stood up and said with a cold expression: "If you put it back, it will be no less than the tiger returning to the mountain. The land of Liaodong will be difficult to stabilize in the future."
"did you mean?"
Zhang Weiqing couldn't help but get up and thoughtful.
"Just do it all the time and let Goryeo fall into ruin!"
Li Xin looked ahead and said coldly: "Gali soldiers were in chaos, and the Tang Dynasty quelled the rebellious soldiers. The King of Galius was frightened and had no choice but to offer his land to surrender."
"Although I don't read much, I know that Goryeo was established only after the destruction of Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo."
"Since you can be united, why can't you divide it into three?"
"Destroy the vassal state?" Zhang Weiqing was shocked, took a few steps closer, and hurriedly asked, "Is this the saint's meaning?"
"That's right!"
Li Xin responded directly, and his eyes were deep, "There are many princes, and according to the strategy of franchise, Goryeo is very suitable for the extra border."
As he said that, Li Xin spread out the map directly, pointed to Goryeo and said, "One of the land can be divided into three, and three vassal kings can be divided into three vassal kings and a feudal state will be established."
"And another country can be built south of the Yalu River until it is the western capital of Pyongyang. In this way, there will be four princes, which can relieve a lot of pressure from the saints."
Speaking of this, Li Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As a family slave, he empathized with the emperor's situation and was under great pressure.
Dozens of sons, how can you find such a territory in this world?
He can't help.
Zhang Weiqing was silent.
It is true that with such a plan, the four vassal states will be presented to you, and only a few means are enough.
After all, it is difficult to establish a protective palace in such a barren and difficult place, and it is better to be a member of the vassal state!
"Just do it like this!"
Zhang Weiqing nodded and said, "For the four vassal states, these 70,000 troops are quite insufficient. They have to raise 80,000, which is enough to suppress the dissatisfaction."
"Hahaha, you're right!"
Li Xin rarely laughed. He patted Zhang Weiqing on the shoulder and continued: "The land of Liaodong Prefecture is full of Bohai and Han people. In addition, there are also a large number of Jurchen Palaces, which are enough to recruit an army."
"In addition, the land of northern Liao is very bitter and cold, and it can be granted the title of vassal kings at that time..."
"You, this is a devil. No matter what you think, you are just a ban—"
Zhang Weiqing laughed in silence.
Hu Yanzan and Yang Wansheng came to the General's Mansion with a confused look on their faces. It was late at night. What should they do?
The two of them couldn't understand and could only obey their orders.
However, as soon as Li Xin spoke, they were shocked:
"You lead the Goryeo soldiers back to Kaijing and return it to the Goryeo King!"
“Deploy, no!”
Hu Yanzan hurriedly said, "The Goryeo soldiers are different from the past. Compared with the past, they have won more than one level of victory. Wouldn't we help them train troops, but would instead threaten Liaodong Prefecture in the future?"
"That's right!" Yang Wansheng also added: "The veterans left over from several battles are their elite soldiers and cannot be returned to Goryeo."
Li Xin nodded and said in a deep voice: "You are all right, and you are quite knowledgeable."
"Of course, we have trained this army for Goryeo, so we can't give it back in vain. So, you two need to do some small things."
