"Okay! Well said! What a famous city that welcomes heroes!"
Liu Zhaosun was no stranger to these tricks that Ying Zheng played more than 2,000 years ago. The First Emperor's ability to rule the six countries in a short period of time was inseparable from these cruel methods. In his view, the reason why Great Qin died was only because certain policies were not fully implemented.
To completely occupy a place like North Korea, military strikes and stationing troops in the fields alone are far from enough. North Korea's original political ecology must be destroyed from within (of course, it is not easy to destroy such a civilization).
Based on the limited social life experience before time travel, when a problem cannot be solved, it is often more effective to directly solve the person who caused the problem.
Since the assimilation problem cannot be solved in a short time, the only option is to destroy all the backbone forces in the occupied area.
When Emperor Wu Ding heard Sun Chuanting explain in detail his plan to move wealthy Korean families to Junzhou, he stood up and praised the plan.
"You are worthy of being my trusted minister. In troubled times, you use important codes. North Korea is capricious and you should not be credulous. Li Zhu has deceived me twice. I don't want to be deceived by them a third time. I think it is better to kill than to accept and bring the rich back to equilibrium." Zhou, sooner or later they will still have to be killed, so why not save some energy, do it in one step, and kill them here without taking them back to the customs."
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Sun Chuanting was ruthless enough, but they didn't expect that as soon as the Supreme Emperor spoke his words, he would kill them all and drain them from the bottom of the cauldron, leaving no way for his opponents to survive.
Emperor Wu Ding's behavior made several civil servants immediately think of the historical lessons of Ming Chengzu's expedition to Annan.
At that time, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty slaughtered Annan excessively. Most of the officials sent to Annan were of worrying quality, and many of them were even demoted. Vietnam is filled with officials from Guangdong, Guangdong and Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, and officials from Luodi Juren, as well as a large number of criminal officials sent from the mainland (Ming Renzong once transferred 119 criminal officials such as Fengyang Tongzhi Wang Feng to Vietnam to serve as prefectures and counties). Officials), even if these people are determined to govern, they do not know how to govern because they do not understand the law. The people of Yue "suffered from heavy education and excessive income, and the people were in dire straits." "The conquests and corvee in the state were so difficult that all the grapefruits in the villages were empty."
When these people arrived in Annan, they were crazy and did everything they could to the local people. In the end, the Ming Dynasty's rule in Annan only lasted for twenty years before it came to an end.
Hou Xun has been in charge of negotiating peace with the King of Korea. Seeing the Emperor acting like this, he was worried that Daqi would repeat the same mistake that the Ming Dynasty made in running Annan. Seeing that everyone was silent, he had no choice but to stand up and say:
"Your Majesty, if you break the covenant, massacre prisoners, destroy Pyongyang, and massacre heroes, it is really the nonsense of the Legalist sorcerers! Now the army has gathered in North Korea for half a year, and it has been tabooed by military strategists. The thieves of Qi are not only in North Korea. ·····”
Liu Zhaosun and Yan Yuese listened to Hou Xun's words and waved their hands several times to stop Sun Chuanting from retorting. Vice Prime Minister Sun's face was livid and he looked at Hou Xun bitterly, but the bachelor did not care and continued to talk:
"The small country of Dongfan is no better than the Celestial Dynasty. Its people are obedient on the surface, but in fact they are stubborn and uncivilized. In the distant past, the Sui and Tang Dynasties attacked Goguryeo three times but failed to conquer it. They wasted their people and money and made the world laugh. In recent times, Kublai Khan conquered Goguryeo nine times but failed to win, which was a waste of national power. Your Majesty. Wise and powerful, one battle can determine the peace and stability of Xianjing. His martial arts are not inferior to those of Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty. However, the country will soon be in trouble and the country will be in trouble. If the local people are forced too much, I am afraid it will be counterproductive. Your Majesty, don’t you know what happened in Annan back then? ? Killing prisoners is unlucky. If you kill wantonly and conquer violently, it will trigger a civil uprising, and it will consume the world's troops and horses to conquer, and the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, I believe that towards Korea, we should mainly use gentleness and suppression as a supplement. To Li Zhu A glimmer of hope gives the Koreans hope. In this way, no one will fight to the death with me. We can lure the Ping'an and Hamjing Dao rebels into the pass, and then deal with them to avenge Yuan Zhifu..."
Hearing what you say is worth a word, Sun Chuanting was about to refute, but everyone else agreed.
"Your Majesty! This is a rotten Confucian theory. Your Majesty must not be partial to it..."
The highly respected Jin Nige came out and said: "Your Majesty, the wise and wise Emperor, I need to remind you that there are still 3,000 to 5,000 believers of God in Pyongyang, and many of them also have the most devout faith in Zhenwu God. , I believe that Your Majesty should not send these people to the mines or hell, because they have greater value to the empire."
"The value of united front? Is this true?"
Emperor Wu Ding looked back at the spy leader Liu Xingzuo, who immediately nodded and confirmed that what the French missionary said was true.
"No wonder the Tokugawa shogunate wanted to ban Christianity, there are so many believers in Pyongyang."
Liu Zhaosun was dumbfounded. He thought carefully about what Jinnige said and felt that it made sense.
Killing is only a means, not the end itself. What he wants is for the people in this land to remain loyal to Daqi (of course, only under certain conditions), rather than to actually kill them all.
"Since it has the value of united front, we cannot massacre the city."
Although everyone didn't know what this "united front value" was, from the Emperor's tone and eyes just now, everyone had noticed Emperor Wu Ding's hesitation, and the high priest struck while the iron was hot:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Jin is right. The Tianzhu Sect is also very developed in North Korea. From an absolutely objective and fair perspective, I think there is no need to harm these believers."
"That makes sense."
In the next series of campaigns such as the Eastern Expedition to Japan and the Southern Expedition to Annan, Emperor Wu Ding would inevitably have to deal with the Tianzhu Sect. He knew very well that this group of people would accept death. If they slaughtered their brothers and sisters in this way, the subsequent expansion would I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
One more enemy is worse than one more friend.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhaosun made up his mind, returned to the throne, touched Jin Yuji, and slowly scanned the people in the account.
"It doesn't matter, God has the virtue of good life, and I am tolerant by nature. Don't kill all the prisoners at once. Keep half of them and send them to various mines in Liaodong to work as coolies. Heroes will not be killed. According to Prime Minister Sun's wish, we will divide them I can only make these concessions if they are captured and brought back to the pass. I have decided on the two northern roads and Busan."
While Emperor Wu Ding was still talking, Liu Xingzuo quickly walked to the door of the tent, took the pond newspaper from a coir raincoat guard outside, and hurriedly handed it to Dongfang Zhu.
Liu Zhaosun unfolded the Tang newspaper and read it roughly:
"Okay, I just got news from the navy. Li Zhu is in Seoul and can't hold on any longer. He begged me to stop the war and wants to talk to me."
Everyone was very excited when they heard the news. Now that the fish is on the chopping board, how to cut it next depends on Da Qi's mood.
"It's not easy."
Emperor Wu Ding put the newspaper on the table and recalled the scene when he brought Jin Yuji back to Ning in the first year of Taichang. He thought he could firmly control North Korea that time, but he didn't expect that there would be so many changes in the middle.
Thinking of this, he whispered to the Empress Dowager Cisheng beside him: "Now I have the opportunity to go boating on the Han River again."
Jin Yuji laughed in a low voice and said: "Thunder tactics can only show the heart of a Bodhisattva. Your husband should do good deeds."
If you do good, then kill a few less people.
Emperor Wu Ding raised his head to face the crowd and announced loudly:
"Five days from now, there will be peace talks with North Korea on Ganghwa Island. Who is willing to come for me?"
Li Jie knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to go north at all, so he set the location for the peace talks at his hometown - which was also the foothold of successive Korean kings - Ganghwa Island, not far from Seoul.
Sun Chuanting immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "I am willing to go through fire and water for Da Qi."
Not to be outdone, Hou Xun hurriedly followed him: "I am willing to go to Jianghua Island and not disgrace the emperor's order!"
Emperor Wu Ding smiled and said: "Okay, okay, going through fire and water does not count. If Li Zhu dares to touch a hair of your hair, I will massacre Seoul."
