"Of course I will send military troops to take over the Japanese country in the future, but there is a prerequisite for that, which is that Murong Xianbei needs to make good progress in the Japanese country."
Liu Yu naturally had his own considerations on this matter.
Although the Korean Peninsula was used as a springboard to reach the Japanese country very smoothly, the initial acclimatization problem was not what Liu Yu wanted the Han soldiers to bear.
"After Murong Xianbei takes the lead, then send some military soldiers to garrison some forts along the seaside, which can be used as a follow-up."
After hearing this, Gongsun Sheng nodded repeatedly.
In this case, Murong Xianbei would have suffered a lot of casualties just because he was not acclimatized. In addition to the Japanese who were killed and injured, the Han army that arrived later only needed to receive the fruits of victory.
"How does Your Majesty plan to recruit soldiers and horses to go to Japan?" Gongsun Sheng asked again.
The population of Han Dynasty is already insufficient, and every male is the backbone of every household. This is especially true for those soldiers in the army.
It would be very uneconomical to send anyone to Japan at will.
Even if a military force is given ten times the land, in the barbaric Japanese country, its output will be difficult to achieve twice the effect.
In short, it’s just one word, poor.
"If we want to place military soldiers in Japan, we have to change our approach." Liu Yu said.
"What's the alternative?"
"The military soldiers here value land and honor the most. If they go to the Japanese country, they will have to change their attitude."
"How does Your Majesty plan to ask them to change it?"
"Just land, no honor."
"No honor, what does this mean?" Gongsun Sheng immediately became confused.
Nowadays, the status of the Han army soldiers is almost equivalent to that of the good family members of the six counties of the Han Dynasty in the past. The status is very high, and it is the easiest to get promoted. All kinds of honors are naturally added to them.
"Nowadays, the soldiers in the army are all sons of good families. When they arrive in Japan, apart from supervising Murong Xianbei, they will only kill people and set fire to grab territory. There is no need to worry about anything."
Liu Yu smiled lightly and said somewhat cheerfully.
"To deal with those Japanese people, as long as they can kill and fight, it is enough. There is no need to use all serious military soldiers."
"Therefore, I plan to recruit prisoners, son-in-laws, Hunu, etc. as soldiers, and then transfer some military soldiers as generals, and then go to suppress the Japanese country."
After hearing Liu Yu's words, Gongsun Sheng was immediately shocked.
This is a great idea!
Especially those prisoners who committed crimes have always been regarded as a burden to the court. Although these people can do some hard labor, the cost is too high for the court, and these prisoners are not very motivated to work, and they are not very motivated. It is increasingly uneconomical to deploy specialized soldiers to supervise and supervise the situation.
"All the prisoners from various states and counties, as long as their sentences are more than two years, will be sent to Japan by me."
Liu Yu is also very satisfied with this decision.
"The Japanese country is all barbarians. Even if these prisoners want to commit crimes, they will harm the Japanese people and also play a role in suppressing and opening up the border. Your Majesty's strategy is really clever." Gongsun Sheng couldn't bear it either. I agree.
"As for the other sons-in-law, Hu Nu and others, they are all recruited for a period of two years. As long as two years are enough, they can all come back." Liu Yu added.
In society since the Qin and Han dynasties, the status of a son-in-law is almost the same as that of a slave. Especially in the eyes of the court officials, these sons-in-law are lower-class people who can be expropriated and consumed at any time.
There is no such thing as a surrogate son-in-law who relies on the woman's power to act recklessly. As long as a certain surrogate son-in-law dares to show his face, he will definitely be beaten to death by the crowd.
"Your Majesty is merciful. In this case, there will be absolutely no problem."
Gongsun Sheng nodded and said.
In this way, a series of conquests against Japan had a reasonable schedule.
First, Dongping Prefecture soldiers and Murong Xianbei crossed the sea to establish a vanguard position, and then used prisoners, son-in-laws, etc. as soldiers to supplement the main force.
Murong Xianbei was responsible for leading the charge, while "temporary workers" such as prisoners and sons-in-law were responsible for subsequent supervision. "Formal workers" such as the Han army soldiers were responsible for the most important coastal docks and command.
"In this way, not only can a large number of prisoners be turned into a new force, but also the Japanese can be brought to peace quickly. It really kills two birds with one stone." Liu Yu said with a smile.
"If the Japanese country is really rich in silver mines, then even if all the 'seven relegated subjects' of Emperor Xiaowu were requisitioned and sent to the Japanese country, it would be a good deal." Gongsun Sheng said.
"Relegated to the seventh branch? That's really too much." Liu Yu shook his head gently.
In the Han Dynasty, there were "seven subjects for relegation": "One is guilty of an official, two is a fugitive, the third is a son-in-law, the fourth is a Jiaren, the fifth is because of the municipality, the sixth is the parents have the municipality, the seventh is the eldest parent has the municipality, these are the seven subjects."
Basically, merchants who had no influence or had relatives who were merchants were conscripted into soldiers.
However, Liu Yu attaches great importance to businessmen as a group in his future plans.
If it is implemented according to the Qi Ban Ke, even if the huge silver mines of the Japanese country are obtained, it will be a huge blow to the market prosperity.
Because all the businessmen were wiped out by Liu Yu, where would they go to develop?
"To deal with a small Japanese country, there is no need to use Qixianke."
Liu Yu waved his hand and continued.
"Only tens of thousands of prisoners are enough."
"If there are not enough prisoners, then we can conscript the husband-in-law, Hu Nu and others. Don't make a mistake in this order."
When Gongsun Sheng heard this, he felt that he had just made a fuss out of a molehill.
There is no need for a barbarian on an overseas mountain island to mobilize troops like this.
Wait until the previous affairs are over.
It's already noon again.
Liu Yu then remembered that he was having dinner with the Queen Wang Ze today, so he went straight to the Queen's Palace.
On the other side, Gongsun Sheng left the palace with excitement.
The Japanese country in Haidong has a huge silver mine, which is a great opportunity for the family to be proud for hundreds of years.
Although Gongsun Sheng was born into a poor family, he had previously despised the various misdeeds of the high-ranking gentry.
However, when Gongsun Sheng reached a high position, he began to have new expectations after becoming famous.
This expectation is no longer about oneself, but about creating a high-ranking noble clan, the Gongsun clan.
And Liu Yu is now trying his best to weaken the various powers of the high-ranking gentry. Naturally, Gongsun Sheng cannot blatantly pursue his "gentry dream."
But it was different now. He had already seen this opportunity in the Japanese country in Haidong.
Since it is difficult to create a 'Jizhou Gongsun Clan', wouldn't it be perfect to create a 'Haidong Gongsun Clan' yourself?
After all, the Japanese country in Haidong is full of barbarians, and there are many Xianbei outposts that need to be guarded against.
This situation is almost the same as when Ji Zhou divided the world.
Groups of princes and uncles, leading their respective retainers and servants, went to all the barbarian lands to guard the emperor of Zhou.
The risks involved are naturally very high.
But the power in everyone's hands is also huge.
It has even gone far beyond the category of 'gentry', and is directly an independent country.
Gongsun Sheng naturally knew that it was impossible to establish a real state in Haidong Japan.
However, it is absolutely possible to create a vassal-like power there.
When he thought of this, Gongsun Sheng quickened his pace and walked back.
He wanted to return home immediately and summon his useless wife, brother-in-law, nephew and others to discuss the matter.
These lazy and delicious things should have been sent to Haidong to harm the Japanese people long ago.
·····
Yizhou, north of Guanghan.
Among the rolling mountains, a winding mountain road leads from the depths of the dense forest to the open plains.
Thousands of soldiers, weapons raised high, walked along the mountain road to the plain.
There were about tens of thousands of people in this large army, all of whom were lightly armed and simple. Apart from swords, guns, swords and crossbows, they did not have any other heavy equipment.
Even the common carriages and horses transporting grain and grass were not seen.
"General, we have already arrived at Guanghan. If we go further, there should be some Badi thieves sentry riding."
A middle-aged man in military uniform said to Gou Xi in a very humble tone.
"This time, we were able to cross the mountains and forests and raid Guanghan, and you, the Qiao clan, deserved the most credit."
Gou Xi said with a half-smile.
"Hehe, the general is joking. We, the Qiao clan, have always been big-hearted men. Now that the Badi thieves have taken over Chengdu, we naturally want to help Master Wang put down the rebels."
It turned out that the middle-aged man leading the way was the guide sent by the Qiao family in Yizhou.
Since the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, the Qiao family, as the leader of Yizhou's surrender faction, has not only won the praise of Sima Zhao, the loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty, but also won the hearts of the people of Yizhou.
Even now, the Qiao family is still benefiting from it.
The fact that Gou Xi led eight thousand elite troops from Yinping County to Guanghan was a huge contribution to the Qiao family's leadership.
"The head of the family once sent a message, saying that the Holy Emperor of the Central Plains is extraordinary and will surely dominate the sea within a few years. How dare we not give our best!"
The middle-aged man from the Qiao family said loudly again.
When Gou Xi heard this, she felt a burst of contempt in her heart.
This person sent by the Qiao clan is really capable of bragging.
Qiao Xuan, who was defeated and captured by Xi Jian in Hanzhong, was the 'head of the family' as he called him. He was still in Hanzhong County and had never met Liu Yu in Yecheng. How could he predict anything about 'Ding Ding Hai Nei'? .
After all, it's not all a series of horses.
"How far is it from here to Guanghan?" Gou Xi asked.
Guanghan serves as the barrier to the northeast of Chengdu. As long as Guanghan City is captured, it can directly threaten Chengdu, which is just around the corner.
"Almost a hundred and fifty miles."
"One hundred and fifty miles?"
When Gou Xi heard about this distance, he already had a reliable idea in his mind.
Now Li Xiong, the emperor of Ba Di Cheng Kingdom, personally led his troops to defend the front line in Zitong and Langzhong, and the whole of Chengdu was empty.
Li Xiong probably doesn't know now that the defenders in the Yinping area have already surrendered.
As long as Gou Xi can lead his army to capture Guanghan, the powerful families around Chengdu will definitely spread the word.
If the Qiao clan makes more noise, they might be able to conquer Chengdu without a fight.
