The Master of the Kingdom - Chapter 133

Su Yi looked at the generals in shock, and the generals looked at Su Yi in confusion. The scene was once very embarrassing.

Mu Yan gave a dry cough and said, “Let’s have a meeting.”

“Let’s have a meeting” is actually Su Yi’s mantra. Every time Mu Yan held a combat meeting, Su Yi would say this. Now Mu Yan is used to it herself.

Su Yi nodded solemnly. There must be a meeting, what do these people think? Fighting this is not a waste of people and money, it is a waste of life and money. Actually ran after finishing the fight? It’s really exciting, right? They seem to have a look on their faces.

Su Yi is speechless, are these people funny? Are they all muscles in their heads?

What Su Yi didn’t know was that it was not this group of generals who were teasing each other, but that China has been so noble from ancient times to the present?

In the history of his world, Cao Cao defeated the capital of Goguryeo, and then thought that the other party had destroyed the country, so he took his troops back to his hometown. Seeing that Cao Cao’s army was gone, Koguryo returned with a dazed expression to continue rebuilding the capital.

The Tang Dynasty helped Silla unify the Korean peninsula. There was no money and no land. Silla turned his head and captured the territory that originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty. The main force of the Tang Dynasty could not get through, so he could only pinch his nose to admit it. It’s so touching, it’s a good territorial residence, a good suzerain country.

Such examples abound. Most of the time the integration of Chinese territory is not active integration by those in power. Almost all of them are generous to return the place where they have been beaten back, or give neighboring countries a lot of disdain to occupy it. The attitude of a small wild country.

Therefore, the foreign expansion war of other countries is a big thing to make small money, and China is a waste of money.

Who can blame this?

Su Yi listened for a while, and couldn’t help but start cursing at Mu Yan one by one.

After this time of getting along, Su Yi and them have become familiar with them, and the so-called image has long ceased to exist. Although in the general’s mind, Su Yi’s image is probably more glorious and more terrifying.

Su Yi can watch the weather and ocean currents, and pull out terrible binoculars and cannons. In the discussion, astronomy and geography have always been true throughout the ages. Su Yi also told a lot of military stories, the battle stories of generals they had never heard of, and they benefited a lot from them.

The generals believed that Su Yi was not only a celestial master, a celebrity, but also a powerful general. He just didn’t want to lead soldiers in battle, at least it would be okay to be a military division. Just listen to his “stories”.

The generals admired Su Yi in five ways, coupled with his celestial aura and Mu Yan’s trust in him, his right to speak in the army was increasing day by day, and he was really second only to Mu Yan.

Although Su Yi never expressed any opinions. But he hadn’t fought before, and he didn’t need to make any comments.

Su Yi said that these people think too much, but he is more eloquent and can tell stories.

Because of Suyi’s high status and accumulated so much “prestige”, when he was training the generals one by one, these people were not dissatisfied, they all listened dejectedly.

While on the ship, Su Yi taught them because astronomy and geography are very important to war. This group of generals, including Mu Yan, were treated like their grandsons by Su Yi, who had a grumpy temper when they were in class.

Fortunately, these people are Mu Yan’s veteran generals. If someone else would dare to do this?

Of course, Mu Yan deliberately became a member of the “mentally handicapped group” and took the lead in being trained by Su Yi.

Mu Yan is very good at people’s hearts.

This time is no exception. In fact, Mu Yan and Su Yi had already discussed it a long time ago, but although Mu Yan could directly order, it would be better for him and Su Yi to sing together and make these generals even more blessed.

It’s just that Su Yi just thought that these generals might not be used to supporting the people to resist the Goguryeo nobles, who knows that they are fundamentally wrong.

After loading it, I will run away, hehehe, it’s great, do you want to lift it high for you?

Su Yi held his hands behind his back and sneered at the group of powerful people in front of him who were afraid to show up.

“Do you know how much it costs to fight? How many people are to die? But why do the emperors of all countries want to start a foreign war? It’s so great? Only we can think about it! I will tell you now that the real benefits of foreign war are! Why! Those people have to look at the land that does not belong to them!”

Su Yi asked someone to move a small blackboard, picked up the chalk he made, and began to write and talk on the blackboard.

Benefit! Foreign wars are all benefits!

During the feudal period, land and people were very important existences. Only with more land and more people can we have a stronger country. Don’t you understand this?

There are minerals and so on, these are the most basic. Let’s talk about the benefits of foreign wars in diverting domestic contradictions.

Take the northern nomads as an example. They are fed and supported, will they come to Yuchao border every winter to make trouble? No, they are good at it. In winter, the water is withered and the grass is yellow. They are mainly nomads. Unlike the farmer Wenmin, they can store them for a year and wait for the next year to receive the goods. Meat and milk products are very difficult to stock up, no matter for the nobles, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to survive the winter. The common people will resist if they don’t have enough to eat, and if they resist, their rule will be unstable.

How to do it? Let’s war with foreign countries. Let the people’s attention be shifted to the war with the Yu Dynasty. If you can grab something from the Yu Dynasty, this winter will be better; if you can’t get something from the Yu Dynasty, then this winter will be difficult, and it will all be from the Yu Dynasty. Wrong, transfer the hatred to Yu Chao.

This is the transfer of internal contradictions? Understand this?

The generals looked at Su Yi with horror and nodded vigorously. Although they also know these things, how come they feel so terrible when they are told by Master Su Tian?

“So we Yuchao can do the same.” Su Yi smiled, “You also know the main contradiction of Yuchao, but what does it matter? If the people don’t have land, then they can beat others. You see the land under our feet is also Not bad, right? With corn crops, although it is a little bit colder, the grain yield is good, not to mention there are many good medicinal materials here. Even if you don’t plant the land, grazing is good.”

The generals looked thoughtful, but the chill behind them became heavier.

“Even if you don’t occupy these places, the benefits are great.” Su Yi glanced at the generals. “Many countries occupies territories, and they have to fight in places far away from their own countries. Why do you want to fight these places that you can’t control? How about spending so much effort to fight?”

The generals couldn’t help but sit up straight, always feeling that they would hear something more terrifying.

Why do you spend so much effort to beat down these places that you can’t control? Of course it was just to make a profit. You people think that if you violate the military order and grab a handful in the city, you can call it a battle to raise a battle, and you can just run away when you get a handful of it? You are really weak! Come, let me tell you the story of the colony.

Use the colony to support the suzerain, and the suzerain has inexhaustible food, minerals, and money, even if the colony soon rebels against freedom? The squeezed things are enough to make the suzerainty develop rapidly for many years, and even if they are free, they can’t breathe for a long time.

Others can catch up, but the use of minerals is a little less. Gold, silver, copper, and iron were all excavated and sent away, but they themselves didn’t have it.

Do you think there are few minerals on the Korean Peninsula?

“In fact, the fleet is stronger, there are a lot of silver mines in the country.” Su Yi always remembers the country, and probably people who travel back will never forget that place.

The generals were already sweating coldly. They think Master Su Tian is terrible! Is this still a celestial master! This is the demon!

But… it feels so good…

Of course those pedantic concepts in their hearts are not important to those who can lead soldiers to fight. If it’s heavy, what’s the bill? Although they felt a little scary at first, but after thinking about it, they felt that it made sense.

They were born to death and desperately working hard. After the fight, they patted their buttocks and left, leaving all scars on their bodies. At any rate, there are national rewards and treats. But what about the country? After spending money, people died, and there was nothing after the fight. It’s not that they don’t want to occupy the territory, but that they really don’t have the energy and money to hold on.

But in the words of Master Su, this is completely unnecessary. Even if you don’t turn it into your own country, you still have to pay for the war. I am immortal in your country. As long as you give money, it will be done. Presumably the royal families of most countries are very willing. Anyway, the money also falls on the people, and it will not reduce the living standards of their nobles.

Supporting other countries is the way to support it. If you support it, you can’t make it stronger, otherwise, don’t you set up enemies for yourself?

When Su Yi saw that they understood what he meant and looked excited, he knew that his persuasion had taken effect. Plant a seed in their hearts now, and this seed will always become a towering tree in the future.

These people will surely sow this kind of seed into the hearts of others.

Su Yi accepted it as soon as he saw it, and stopped mentioning this, and began to talk about his previous intention to “divide the land by the local tyrants”.

If you don’t occupy this territory, you will support the local aristocracy to exploit the common people; if you want to occupy the territory, you must destroy the local aristocratic system. Because ordinary people seldom think of building a country and supporting themselves so far. It must be the case for educated people, and people who are originally nobles are more likely.

Moreover, the local nobles are closely related to the entire political system of Goguryeo. When Goguryeo is destroyed, their interests cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, their concept of family and country is stronger. If they build their own country, it will be enough. For the Central Plains dynasty like Yu Dynasty, they would not really obey.

Therefore, they must be cruel. The loyalty that has the closest relationship with the interests of the Goguryeo dynasty must not be kept.

Yu Chao’s troops still had to do these things, and they were stretched. And if these people surrender, we can’t kill the prisoners rottenly, nor can we rob at will, otherwise, after we return, we will all join them in the hall. It was originally a credit, but it was a curse if not sure.

But if the locals themselves rioted, it has nothing to do with them, right?

Encouraging the local ordinary people to grab the gold, silver and food from their nobles’ fields, shouldn’t it be a problem? Let’s register and make a record. Except for food, we don’t take any cents. The rest will either be brought back to the DPRK or distributed to the local people. How justice and merciful this is. We also helped the local people to livelihood, divide the land, arrange defense forces, and even rebuild the city. There is simply no army more just and benevolent than our Yu Chao army.

This time even Mu Yan couldn’t help but wiped his sweat secretly. Fortunately, all the generals at the meeting were generals, and the Mo family were not there. Otherwise, if they hear it, they might never stick to Su Yi again.

But they didn’t hear this, only saw the superficial things that Su Yi did, and they would probably be even more desperate.

Mu Yan couldn’t help but sympathize with them.

After Su Yi finished speaking, Tan Xing made a big deal and went on to talk in depth.

Stabilizing the local people’s hearts is the most basic and first thing to do. After that, if you want to completely subdue this place, you should start from the cultural point of view.

Of course, relocating people from each other is also effective, but this will cause local resistance, and on the contrary, arouse conflicts. It’s nothing more than relocating the victims. It would be impossible if the land was not occupied.

How to start culturally? We should unify the language, unify the writing, let the people here learn our language, learn our writing, and force it as a common language. We want to set up a school here, let them learn our knowledge, let them enter our imperial examination system, they can become officials, but they can’t return to the local government for the time being.

We have to write many myths and legends, telling them that we were five hundred years ago. No, we were a family thousands of years ago. We were all descendants of Yanhuang and Huangdi. We were all descendants of Pangu and Nuwa who created human beings.

Many ethnic groups have many branches and flowers, and we all have a name called…cough cough, I’m sorry, it’s too far away.

The eyes of the generals are already drawing circles.

Mu Yan gave a dry cough and said, “This way…”

Su Yi said, “This is actually very good for the locals. They have a prosperous economy and a prosperous culture, and become a member of our country of Chinese etiquette. Isn’t it good? Under Putian, is it king? Earth. These are the people of our Majesty, and we naturally have the responsibility to lead them to a better life.”

Mu Yan stood up and said with a serious face: “Tianshi Gaode.”

The other generals also stood up, clasped their fists and bowed: “Tianshi Gaode!”

Su Yi’s eyes are far away. Ouch, in fact, I also think that I am quite high moral, which makes me admire myself a little bit.

Now that these people have chanted the heavenly master “God” and “kindness”, then this matter is naturally set.

Originally, the people in this city thought that the Yu Dynasty had come, and they must have had no good life. Some killing, burning, looting, and looting would definitely come, and it would be good to save a life.

Unexpectedly, the Yu Chao army posted a notice that the people’s family would not take any money, and they were still in charge of the people. They took care of the things that Goguryeo didn’t care about. Did these nobles bully you and oppress you? Did you kill and set fire to **** money and land? Come, tell us the great Master Su, and Master Su will be fair for you!

Although Goguryeo has been moving closer to feudalism and learning from the Han Dynasty, they are still semi-feudal and semi-slaves, especially the bottom three Koreans, and their lives are very miserable. It is impossible to say that there is no blood debt. It is impossible to grab someone. Female, it’s normal to grab some land, run a horse and kill someone in the street, it’s all normal.

Not to mention Goguryeo, Yu Chao couldn’t stop these things.

Although these people are dubious, there are always people with **** feuds who are willing to seize this last straw. Su Yi quickly collected the evidence of the nobles here.

Wiping tears is really exhausting.

Mu Yan waved his big hand, and the skynet was wide and unobstructed. We Yuchao doesn’t care about any Goguryeo nobles, we are just to understand and save the local people. Please let us do it.

As a result, the beheading of the head, the chase of the house, Yu Chao only collects a small portion of grain and gold and silver, and the rest of the grain is opened to help the people, all the equipment is distributed, and all the land is distributed.

People who don’t have land come to the throne. Here I will send you land for planting. There is also a land certificate issued by Yu Chao, which is officially recognized. From now on, this will be your private property, oh dear.

The premise is that this is the land of Yu Dynasty.

By the way, for those small landlords who had good reputations, Yu Chao also commended them and asked them to study government affairs with Yu Chao left-behind officials, saying that they would return their cities to them in the future.

They are just to combat the current brutal Goguryeo government and to bring warmth to the general public.

When doing it, Mu Yan and others did not miss the opportunity. They let people spread the matter out, telling them that surrendering to Yuchao, all the people have fields to take and food. Those big dogs in Goguryeo can no longer exploit you. People, it’s time to rise up!

At the same time, Mu Yan left behind some left-behind officials and newly formed “militiamen”, leading the army to continue marching towards the capital of Goguryeo.

“Don’t worry that the army organized by the local people will make trouble.” Su Yi said, “They are all people who are allocated the fields and food. They will never want to take out the things they got, and return to the point where they were poor and white. And if it is Goguryeo When they come back, they are not impoverished, and they may even lose their lives.”

There must be people who can dominate the local area, and there are even relatives in the Goguryeo dynasty. When these people were killed, the people of Goguryeo could not trouble Yu Chao, and naturally they would trouble the local people.

The common people are not stupid in this regard.

Mu Yan took a deep breath. I always felt that agreeing to Su Yi to join the army this time would be more rewarding than he had imagined.

Mu Yan even felt that after this war, the Yu Dynasty and even Huaxia’s foreign war policy might be adapted from ancient times.

Although Yu Chao quickly took the city, when he knew that the Yu Chao army came here, the unlucky city lord immediately sent someone to deliver the news and move the rescuers.

But the border is far away from the capital of Goguryeo compared to where Mu Yan landed. This time difference is what Mu Yan wants to fight.

The king of Goguryeo and the important officials are in the capital. As long as the city is broken and these people are killed and captured, the army should not be afraid.

Even if they did not surrender and wanted to head-on with Mu Yan, the king and ministers were captured, and their morale was reduced to a minimum. And Su Yi’s quasi-head cannon and various crossbow weapon bonuses, Mu Yan didn’t think he would lose on the frontal battlefield.

Because the army was pressing on the border, the defense force of the royal city was also very empty.

When Mu Yan and others made a detour and directly approached the capital of Goguryeo, they didn’t even encounter any resistance along the way.

I want to come to the king to learn that after the Yu Chao army had attacked from the sea, the frontier army had no time to return. Even if the remaining city defenses were mobilized, it would not be possible to block Mu Yan for long on the road. It is better to recall all the capital, abandon the rest of the place, guard the capital first, and wait for the main force to come back, and attack on both sides.

They thought well, Mu Yan marched hurriedly, the siege equipment was huge, and he might not be able to move in in time. In addition, the king’s city is strong, and the materials inside are also sufficient.

But Su Yi said that the big siege equipment will not work for a short time, and it will be difficult to break the city gate when it comes, but we have gunpowder.

My friend, do you know what an dynamite bag or an dynamite barrel is? What is fixed-point blasting?

In siege battles that can’t be drawn out, soldiers place long-range attacks on the city gates, and the siege people go up the ladder and hit the pillars of the gate. All in all, people outside must go first before they can move next. When people are still outside, they are not afraid, even if they are already hitting the door, they are not afraid as long as they touch the door inside.

Although bows, arrows, rocks, and even boiling water would cause great damage to soldiers who climbed the city wall, if it weren’t for climbing the city wall, would they just sneak into the city wall by taking advantage of the high night black wind?

If you don’t launch an attack and just circle the city wall, the people inside won’t care. After all, the weapons hoarded in the city are also limited. At night, if it is not a large-scale attack, it is just a scattered team wandering outside, and the people on it can’t see it.

By the way, what is the name of this scattered team? Scout? For these scouts who inquired about the news, they wouldn’t care too much.

It’s okay as long as you don’t enter the city.

But what if the scout turns into a blasting squad? What if they are not investigating news, but planting explosive packets?

The city gate will always be recessed a bit more than the city wall, and this recessed part can also be protected by the engineering team.

They set up a ladder on the city gate and carefully stacked the explosive barrels to cover the entire city gate.

This time Mu Yan was cruel, and he didn’t bring any large siege equipment, including Su Yi’s explosive barrels. The dynamite barrels they brought could even fill two gates.

After discussing with Mu Yan, Su Yi and Mu Yan felt that there was no need to stack them up, half of them would be enough. Stack up the four gates. Attacking from all sides can also block their escape route.

So, on the night of the siege, the King of Goguryeo was still anxious that his ministers had a meeting to discuss when Yu Chao would attack. He only heard four loud bangs, as if the palace ground was shaking, and there were horrified calls from all over the city. .

Su Yi, who was guarded and watched from afar, touched his chin. This power was not enough, so he blew up the small half of the door, which was good enough to ride in.
