Autumn, September.
Dongpingzhou, Lelang County, North Korea City.
As the administrative seat of Dongpingzhou, Chosun City at this time was just across the river from Pyongyang City.
The location here is a river valley plain, which can be regarded as one of the few plain areas in the north of Dongping Prefecture.
However, among the 5,000 Liaoxi military households who came with Wu Xin, the governor of Dongping Prefecture and the governor of Dongyi's military forces, few of them were placed around Korea City. Instead, they were all placed in the Luofang City area further northeast.
As for the city inside and outside Korea, except for the three thousand Hebei Yicong cavalry, the rest of the defensive forces relied entirely on the local Han tyrants.
The history of these powerful Han people settling in Lelang County can be traced back to the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Korean state. Since then, many Han people have settled here.
When the world was in chaos at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Han people from the Central Plains poured in, and the population of the entire Lelang and Daifang counties more than doubled.
The original governor of Dongping Prefecture, Zhang Tong, was a native of Liaodong after the famous general Zhang Liao. The power he could command was only half of the two counties.
Many powerful men from the two counties were not very close to Zhang Tong. After all, in their view, even though Zhang Tong's background and prestige were not bad, he was far from being able to command them.
However, since the arrival of Wu Xin, the newly appointed governor of Dongping Prefecture, the faces of all the powerful Han people in Dongping Prefecture have changed instantly.
It was an extremely positive response to all calls from the governor Wu Xin.
To talk about the reason, in addition to the arrival of five thousand military soldiers, the more reason is that everything the governor Wu Xin did after his arrival was to make them huge profits.
After the arrival of the governor Wu Xin, he had just placed 5,000 military soldiers in the northern border. He immediately used 3,000 Hebei Yicon cavalry as the main force and recruited 5,000 powerful tribes from Liangjun. Under the leadership of the Baekje Servant Army, Next, they swept away a large number of Mahan and Bianhan barbarian tribes in the south.
This military expedition went more than 500 miles in depth. Almost all the barbarian tribes encountered along the way were wiped out, and tens of thousands of young men and women were captured.
The powerful companies in Daifang and Lelang counties that had been on the defensive all benefited greatly from this operation.
Moreover, they have heard that such a thrilling operation to wipe out the barbarians will become the norm in the future. They are all gearing up and almost can't bear it.
"General, the governor of Luofang City reported that an epidemic broke out among the 5,000 horse slaves who were delivered last month, and nearly a thousand people have died. He asked the general to send him doctors and medicinal materials, otherwise there will be more Many farm slaves will die of illness."
An official in gorgeous uniform was reporting to the governor Wu Xin.
Hearing that nearly a thousand of the farm slaves who had just been assigned had died in just one month, Wu Xin was also agitated, but he had no good solution.
"Master Wang should know that there are not only a few doctors in North Korea City, but also a few capable medical apprentices. How can we send another doctor to the slaves in Luofang City?"
Wu Xin said straightforwardly.
The chief registrar surnamed Wang is called Wang Hong, and he is a local from Lelang County, Dongping Prefecture. His family has settled in Lelang County for more than 400 years. He came across the sea with General Lou Chuan during the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The Wang family of Lelang County is from the same family as Wang Dao, Wang Dun and others who are now covering the sky in Jiangdong.
Without Liu Yu, the historical Wang family of Lelang County would have been annexed by Goguryeo more than a hundred years later and would have continued to exist as Goguryeo people.
It was not until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that after Li Chenggui overthrew the Wang family in Korea, a large number of Korean Wang families changed their names in order to seek refuge.
From then on, the Wang family of Lelang County, who was once famous in history, immediately disappeared in Haidong.
However, the current Wang family of Lelang County is definitely the top power in Lelang County. Otherwise, Wu Xin would not have appointed Wang Hong as his chief registrant.
Wu Xin brought a large number of officers and soldiers, but there were almost no officials familiar with local affairs, so Wang Hong, the chief clerk, had great power.
"Of course I know what the general said. However, there are at least two thousand households of military soldiers inside and outside Luofang City. It would be bad if the disease among the farm slaves spreads to the military households."
After accepting the conquest, Wang Hong worked hard and never made any mistakes in responding to government documents.
"It doesn't matter. I know Gao Qi, the governor of Luofang City, best. He is strict in his actions and shows no mercy to his soldiers, let alone those Mahan slaves."
Speaking of this, Wu Xin smiled softly.
"Although this Dongping Prefecture is remote, it has a pleasant climate. It is not a miasma of southern barbarians. There are often epidemics."
"I guess that the epidemic in Luofang City is not a big deal, but Gao Qi's military soldiers treated them too harshly, which led to the death of a large number of farm slaves."
As the northeastern barrier of Dongping Prefecture, Roufang City is stationed with elite military soldiers.
The so-called elite soldiers were naturally punished more severely with sticks and whips. Otherwise, how could these farmers who were farming in Liaoxi County a few months ago become soldiers who killed, set fire to, and civilized the barbarians.
As a result, the farm slaves who exist as slaves of these elite soldiers will naturally have no good fruits to eat.
A group of soldiers who have been trained to become almost obsessive are naturally likely to attack lightly or not.
"Then what the general means is that we don't need to worry about the report from Luofang City?" Wang Hong, the chief clerk, asked.
"Of course, if you still need to take care of things, then send someone to Luofang City to give Gao Qi more of the recently delivered "Disease Prevention Treatise", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" and "Qianjin Prescriptions". They take precautions to prevent the disease from really harming themselves."
The medical books Wu Xin was talking about were a complete set of epidemic prevention and control manuals compiled by Liu Yu not long ago.
Since the great plague in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, many doctors at that time have studied various plague prevention and control strategies.
However, limited by the level of cognition, many prevention and control strategies are in the realm of metaphysics and are not very useful for real plague prevention and control.
Under Liu Yu's personal supervision, a large number of prevention and treatment strategies that have been verified by modern medicine in later generations have been recorded in these medical books.
"Well, what the general said is very true. I heard that since the implementation of the medicine in accordance with the medical books last month, dysentery and Sha diseases in the two counties have been reduced by almost half. It can be said that it is effective."
Wang Hong, the chief registrar, knew that these medical books were compiled by the emperor himself, and also knew that Wu Xin was a close general of the emperor, so he immediately praised them.
"However, it is a pity that I will no longer be able to eat fish and crabs from now on." When the chief clerk Wang Hong said this, he showed real regret. At first glance, he was a standard gourmet. Make a fuss.
"Haha, it's just fish and meat. If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it." Wu Xin immediately smiled heartily.
The so-called sashimi is a way of eating sashimi that has been passed down since ancient times.
People in this era simply did not have the ability to catch parasite-free deep-sea fish, and almost all they used were freshwater fish or shallow-sea fish that contained a large number of parasites.
And because the fish meat is so delicious, it is almost a popular delicacy all over the world, and everyone is rushing to eat it.
Several celebrities during the Three Kingdoms period were infected with parasitic diseases and suffered from burping after eating fish breasts.
Because of this incident, Liu Yu had ordered the people several times not to eat fish and crabs again for the sake of their own lives, but he failed to stop it every time, and almost no one took it seriously.
In the end, Liu Yu simply issued an edict, prohibiting the consumption of fish and shrimps in the entire country, and clarified the punishments ranging from light to severe, ranging from fines and corvee to severe punishments such as seizing official positions, seizing titles, and abolishing "scholar status."
Such a terrifying "forbidden order" almost made many people remain silent and at the same time felt that the emperor was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Wu Xin gave up this small talk after a few sentences.
He soon returned to business.
"Secretary, how is the execution of the emperor's summoning of the good sons of Dongpingzhou as his own army?" Wu Xin asked.
After hearing this, Wang Hong, the chief clerk, immediately took out a pamphlet.
"General, please take a look. After the children of the two counties heard about the emperor's conscription, they all rushed to be the first. According to some rough records, there are already more than a thousand people who want to answer the imperial call."
"In this way, the number of three thousand will only take a few days, and it will be quickly replenished."
Wu Xin opened the booklet in his hand and read it quickly.
Behind the densely packed names, there is everyone’s place of origin and origin.
The powerful forces in Lelang and Daifang counties can be said to be deep-rooted, and because they were isolated from the Central Plains for a long time, their centripetal force is not as strong as other counties.
After the barbarians on the Dongpingzhou Peninsula are cleared away, the powerful forces in these two counties will be the only strong ones.
Naturally, Liu Yu could not be completely relieved about this situation.
Therefore, these three thousand Dongpingzhou Liangjiazi were recruited to gather hostages under their control.
Otherwise, with the population of Dongping Prefecture, there is no need to transfer more people.
"Well, good. The chief registrar will keep a good record of the clans and places of origin of these people. We will use this as evidence when we go out to conquer the country later."
Ever since he made up his mind to wipe out the barbarians on the peninsula, plundering their men and women has become the greatest benefit.
Although the two counties of Lelang and Daifang are not large, they are still sparsely populated.
As the two most fertile places on the Korean Peninsula, the only thing that restricts the strength of these Han people is the lack of manpower.
With thousands of tiger and wolf army soldiers as the main force, the originally wolf-like barbarians were all turned into hunted rats and rabbits, completely crushed by superior force.
As a result, the two powerful counties in Dongping Prefecture all regard this matter as their top priority.
As the governor with full power, Wu Xin naturally had control over them.
"I obey the general's orders!"
The chief bookkeeper Wang Hong said very solemnly.
In fact, he felt secretly happy in his heart, because in this way, he could make some manipulations in the statistics of pen and ink, so that the Wang family of Lelang County could obtain a larger quota.
The more troops you send to conquer the barbarian tribes each time, the more rewards you can get.
In a remote place like Lelang County, 'robbing people' is the hottest business nowadays.
The two of them had just finished talking about this when a servant suddenly announced outside the door.
"General, please send me an urgent message from Xi City!"
Tixiseong is a city with Fangjun in the south. To the south is the Baekje Kingdom established by the Buyeo people, and to the east is the gathering place of the Chenhan people.
The Tixi tribe living here is a branch of the Nanwoju people. They have long surrendered to the Han army and have become sentries guarding the south gate of Daifang County.
"Pass it in quickly!" Wu Xin said immediately.
Tixi City is close to Baekje, Chenhan and Mahan. If there is an urgent report, it will definitely be related to this aspect.
Soon, a travel-worn messenger was brought in.
"Report to the general, the Baekje people are in civil strife, and King Biliu has been defeated and is missing. The Baekje people have appointed his nephew as the new lord. They have contacted the Yi people, Chen Han, Ma Han and other barbarians, and will ask for an alliance with Xiong Wangchuan, and then they will Combine 100,000 troops and attack Daifang County!"
This envoy is a Woju person from the Tixi tribe, and has a clear understanding of the combined strength of Baekje, Chenhan and other tribes.
Once they unite, they will have at least 50,000 to 60,000 troops, and maybe as many as 100,000.
As the southern gate of Daifang County, once the Baekje, Chenhan, and Haoqian people jointly attacked, Tixi City, as the watchdog of Daifang County in Han Dynasty, would probably be the first to face the danger of destruction.
In order to attract the attention of the governor Wu Xin and carry out rescue quickly, the leader of the Tixi tribe deliberately set the number of rebels to the maximum number of one hundred thousand.
No matter how strong the Han army in Dongping Prefecture is, there are only three to five thousand people. Facing ten times the enemy, it will be difficult to win.
However, as soon as the messenger's voice fell, he immediately heard a slightly surprised voice.
"What, so the Yi people are going to gather their troops together?"
The Tixi envoy raised his head and saw a look of surprise on the face of Wu Xin, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, which was far beyond his expectation.
Wang Hong, the bookkeeper next to him, was equally surprised.
Wang Hong felt that the reason why thousands of Han troops were able to penetrate the southern part of the peninsula before was not only because of the strength of the Han army, but also because of the guidance of Baekje servants. Otherwise, just taking a detour through the mountains would be enough to make people unfamiliar with the place. The Han army collapsed.
It is precisely because of this that the Han army repeatedly defeated the Ma-Han tribes with superior force.
"Yes, General!" The envoy from Tixi City did not dare to say anything.
After the envoy left the military report and was sent away, Wang Hong, the chief secretary who was full of doubts, couldn't help but ask Wu Xin.
"General, why do you feel happy when you hear about the rebellion of the Baekje people?"
If he hadn't known that Wu Shijun was a brave general, Wang Hong might have laughed because he thought Wu Xin was frightened by more than ten times the number of barbarians and was delirious.
"These Haidong barbarians all live in the remote mountains. They are scattered and will not easily gather together. If they were to be defeated one by one, it would probably take three to five years to complete."
"Now we have gathered together to attack, it's really God helping me!" Wu Xin said this and couldn't help laughing again.
"General, that's a hundred thousand people. Even if they are barbarians, they are still too many." Chief Secretary Wang Hong still didn't frown.
"Haha, sir, don't panic, they are just some local chickens and dogs. Let's see if I can defeat ten with one!" Wu Xin said loudly.
