As long as 10,000 people in the 30,000-strong army go to Yuntong to become slaves, that is the military merit of more than 10,000 people.
The military merit of prisoners is slightly higher than that of dead people. This is also an unspoken rule of the border army.
It is much better to take away the military merits by standing still than fighting tooth and nail.
Cooking began in the military camp in the city. When 30,000 troops came in one after another, some surrendered generals began to work.
Guide them to the military camp. When these generals and soldiers returned in triumph, they saw pots of food mixed with meat, and they all quickly sat down and started eating.
The method of cooking food in Goguryeo is relatively primitive, and the food is relatively small, so the food is naturally not very good. But after going to Haoyun, these soldiers understood one thing.
That's because the food in my country is really delicious, and the food over there is more primitive than here. Not to mention meat, even grains are very scarce, and I have to rely on rivers to avoid starving to death.
It's okay not to eat it, but after eating it, the generals were immediately overcome by the drug.
The remaining soldiers began to have their weapons and equipment confiscated, and the rest was a matter of course.
No matter whether the soldiers felt there was a problem or not, it was too late. After they stepped into the military camp, there was no room for maneuver.
There are no weapons, and there are tens of thousands of troops outside waiting for battle. Once they take action, they will face a unilateral massacre. In the face of absolute strength, any encouragement and courage are in vain.
Thirty thousand horses and horses were divided, and the Fuyu and Central Plains people began naturalization education under the comfort of generals large and small.
Those soldiers from small tribes will be detained for a few days and then escorted to camps on the seaside in batches, waiting for warships to transport them all to Yuntong County. What awaits them is endless work.
Of course, these regulations will be constantly adjusted as the current situation changes. It is uncertain when Goguryeo will be fully integrated into Xia Kingdom, and they will no longer be able to distinguish each other.
"Your Majesty, this is the escort list for our personnel after we land in Changkou."
Yang Qian took the official document from Jia Guohao and looked at it carefully.
In the early days, the number of prisoners transported was one to two thousand, three to five thousand at a time. Later, after getting familiar with it, the maximum capacity of transporting seven thousand people began.
This is the most appropriate number of people calculated after calculation. It must be matched with the three thousand defenders, so that Yang Gan can feel a little more at ease.
Escorts at sea are completely different from the guards at the Slave Bishop's side.
A battleship is a battleship, and it mainly focuses on naval battles, so the areas for activities such as eating and defecating are separated, making operation more troublesome.
There are generally only a few soldiers guarding the huge number of slaves in the slave priest's side. The reason is that every time the slaves are driven to a place, the slaves will start to build a camp with a strong wooden fence outside.
Soldiers patrolled the wooden fence the entire time, making it impossible for them to escape.
Don't think that a swarm of people will make you intimidated, quite the opposite.
As long as the slaves dare to rush to a place together and attempt to destroy the three- to four-meter-high fence, what awaits them is one after another Molotov cocktails and heavy crossbows equipped with a large number of motor drives.
With that kind of lethality, there is no problem in penetrating a person without armor within a hundred meters.
There are hundreds of electric heavy crossbows. The effect is not much different from Gatling. Direct fire coverage. If you insist on distinguishing a difference, the electric heavy crossbows will not emit blue light.
"Well, yes, we have transported more than 100,000 people back, but this is not enough. I will try to transport 150,000 to 156,000 people by the time I return. In this way, we will have millions of slaves in Yuntong. I think What can’t you do?”
Yang Qian also became slightly excited as he spoke. If it were another dynasty, a million slaves would be nothing. After all, there are so many people serving corvee every year.
But now what is the concept of these millions of slaves? No one will have any objection to how they are used. Even if they are all exterminated, there will be no conflicts in the country.
Because everyone will only think that they are just slaves, especially the Huns. Many people in Yuntong wish they would die early.
"That's no problem. The main reason is that there are too few warships. Warships can't actually transport many people. There are also horses and other ships that don't even have many places to detain people. If there are ships specifically for escorting prisoners, how many people can be transported? You can go up there.”
After Yang Gan thought about it carefully, he shook his head and said, "There is no need to build a human-carrying ship of this size for the time being. In addition, it is winter. Forcibly speeding up the shipbuilding will cost lives."
"Every less slave means less money in my purse. Do you think I would agree?"
Jia Guohao immediately held up his hands and said, "What your Majesty said makes sense, but... Goguryeo has many small tribes..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Qian immediately interrupted and said, "Take your time, why are you in a hurry? How old are you, and you are still as angry as a young man?"
After finishing speaking, Yang Gan sighed and wondered, "Although Wanghai County is close to the sea, it usually only builds fishing boats, and the dried wood is left over from many years."
"Now the wood in Wanghai County has been almost consumed. It takes several years for a piece of wood to be exposed to the sun before a ship can be built. We are no longer able to build large sea ships. Of course, the wood can also be purchased from other places, but in this case, the cost will increase." Increased several times.”
"If you don't become a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are."
"Hey, I heard that you are the richest man in the county."
There is nothing wrong with this sentence. In this era, it is normal to praise someone in person. But just such a sentence made Yang Qian stare at Jia Guohao displeased.
"Am I rich? You know what a hammer is. I am the poorest person in the world. It doesn't cost me money to destroy three tribes. It doesn't cost money to open up wasteland to grow food. It doesn't cost money to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms."
"You just saw that I have money, but when did my money get warmed up in my purse? Isn't it just thrown into the hands of the people as soon as I got it? Although there are still many people in the frontier who are hungry, but Use sparingly."
Yang Gan's whirring voice made Jia Guohao lose his temper immediately. Sure enough, the rumors in the army were true. Your Majesty is like Pixiu, and he can't eat anything.
For Yang Qian, it is easy to talk about anything, but don't talk about money with yourself. This word makes people very allergic.
Your own money, paired with slaves, is like a brick. You can move it wherever you need it. As long as the five counties are connected smoothly, your control over the five counties will rise to a higher level.
As time went by, with the defense change order and the Xuanjia Army already in action, almost all the elites were deceived and returned.
The Goguryeo people pressed Hao Qian on the ground and rubbed them. This time, a group of people finally changed. The Hao Qian people thought that after the destruction of the country, the weaker troops would naturally come over.
After all, good steel is used on the blade, and the country has not yet been destroyed. Is it possible to let more elite people do such a simple task as garrisoning it now?
Therefore, the resistance forces that had just been suppressed showed signs of rising again, but they picked the wrong opponent. After all the Goguryeo troops returned, the 50,000 troops began to be transferred away again.
There is no way, this is a way to stabilize the elite of Goguryeo. Just the royal city plus other cities, there are only 50,000 people guarding the royal city at this time. If there are too few, Yang Gan will feel insecure.
Because it was discovered that after the huge Wuyang army left, only 30,000 people were left.
Many people are starting to get ready to take action. If they can't defeat 200,000 people, they can't defeat 30,000 of you.
Under the call of the former nobles, many people who had fled to the wild were recruited back. After simply equipping themselves with some equipment, they began to head towards the Xia Army's camp.
They had just approached the opponent's range of more than ten miles, and Xia Jun, who was in his own camp, already knew the information.
"A team of tens of thousands of people was found fifteen miles away, waiting for your Majesty's decision."
Related to fighting, generals have no right to fight without clear authorization. Not to mention the power to mobilize troops, the power to unify troops is still in Yang Gan's hands.
As long as you are not being attacked, call yourself before going to war.
After having a large number of slaves, Yang Qian really didn't think too highly of Hao Qian's population. It was just better than nothing. It was useful after all, not completely useless.
Yang Gan's order was issued immediately.
This time, there was no need to hold back, just cripple the opponent first. After receiving the military order, the 30,000-strong army began to form their formation under the command of the leading general.
Not long after, when they saw tens of thousands of people on the other side, heavy crossbows were transported up, and the soldiers in the three rows in front sat directly on the snow.
"Wait..." the leading general yelled.
Not long after, I saw sparse figures starting to appear on the opposite side. On such a serious battlefield, there was a sudden sound.
"Pfft~~~~Hahahahaha!"
The leading general immediately covered his mouth. It was so ridiculous. The people across from him didn't even have armor. It was rare that there were a few generals who wore leather armor.
This kind of leather armor made of nitrate is somewhat effective against the chopping of a bronze sword, but if it is against the iron sword, it will basically be defeated.
Especially at first glance, there is no uniform clothes at all. Those who didn't know better thought that it was the chief helmsman of the Beggar Clan who was dispatched collectively.
"Scout, what's going on?"
"Tell the general, our three teams are exploring the surroundings. Only there is a large army in this direction. Everything else is safe."
The leading general couldn't help but nodded. Looking at the beggars who were still trembling and howling and rushing towards his position, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Everyone, get ready!"
The archer drew the string of his bow.
The bowstring drawn by the heavy crossbowman.
The soldier sitting on the ground kicked his legs and opened a huge crossbow.
"300 steps~~~"
"250 steps~~~"
Before the scout could speak again, the leading general waved his command flag and shouted, "Fire arrows for me!"
There was a "buzz" sound.
It was as if something was moving the entire air, and a curtain of arrows that covered the sky like a dark cloud covered the opponent.
The people in Haoqian still didn't know what was going on. Some people rushed forward regardless, while some people with brains had already noticed that something was wrong.
Some people died, but not completely...
