The 30,000 Japanese people who attacked the Silla Kingdom were extremely brave because they had the motivation and the courage to run forward.
Before the war started, Li Ji issued a large reward order to the Japanese people.
Those who move forward bravely, and those who kill enemies and make meritorious deeds, will not only get rich money and trophies, but most importantly, they can be registered in the Tang Dynasty.
Whether in the Japanese mainland or on the Haidong Peninsula, the Tang army basically did not regard the Japanese as human beings, and the meanness of the Japanese people was also clearly reflected at this time.
The less you treat me as a human being, the more I have to live like one.
The Japanese country has basically become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the king is still in office, but the people of the Japanese country know very well that today's Japanese country only maintains the illusion of a so-called "country". In fact, all the military and political power in the Japanese country has been controlled by the Tang Dynasty.
The country is no longer a country, and the people of Japan want to live a personal life, so they naturally want to register with the Tang Dynasty.
In the eyes of the Japanese people, the Tang Dynasty is the suzerain of the country, and it is an existence they need to look up to. Their eagerness to join the Tang Dynasty household registration is just like those Muyang dogs in the previous life who desperately wanted to join the beautiful country.
The heavy reward order issued by Li Ji before the war undoubtedly deeply captured the psychology of the 30,000 Japanese people.
So the 30,000 Japanese people showed a brave and bloody spirit against the Silla Kingdom, and their courage in the face of battle was as if they were crazy and possessed.
The Japanese who were slaughtered by the Tang army in the Japanese mainland were like fierce tigers descending from the mountains on the battlefield of Silla. They were invincible and their treatment of Silla prisoners was even more cruel and bloody, and they were extremely abusive.
It has to be said that the word "morbid" can no longer describe the psychological distortions of people who grow up in this country.
What the 30,000 Japanese people didn't know was that the so-called "heavy reward order" discussed by Li Qinzai and Li Ji was simply a huge lie.
Li Qinzai's original intention to mobilize the young and strong Japanese to go to the Haidong battlefield was actually to subjugate the country and exterminate the species.
In order to eliminate future troubles, Japan, like the Haedong Peninsula, must not only occupy it militarily, but also completely erase the traces of its motherland's existence in terms of culture and lineage.
The land was left but not the people. Even though it was a place prone to natural disasters, it was still the territory of the Tang Dynasty and should be occupied and lived by people of the Tang Dynasty with pure blood.
Therefore, in the hearts of Li Ji and Li Qinzai, the 30,000 Japanese people were just cannon fodder destined to die.
After this war, if there are still Japanese people alive, they will never be able to register in the Tang Dynasty. After the war, those Japanese people alive will become slaves of the powerful landlords of the Tang Dynasty.
After declaring war on Silla, 30,000 Japanese troops marched straight in. Starting from the Ungjin Governor's Office, they conquered five cities within a month and advanced the battle line to more than a hundred miles into the Silla Kingdom.
Don't underestimate these more than 100 miles. For Silla, a small country, the Tang army has occupied one-third of their territory.
Jin Beomin, the leader of the Silla Kingdom, was anxious and could not defeat the Tang army militarily. His only option was to send envoys to Chang'an to plead guilty to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty's campaign against Silla, it was clearly stated that Silla was sheltering the remnants of Goguryeo and tacitly allowed the remnants of Goguryeo to assassinate Pang Tongshan, the deputy general manager of the Liaodong Road March.
The Tang Dynasty did not know how to write indiscriminately, and it was not an excuse for the Tang Dynasty to come up with something out of thin air.
In fact, Silla did do this, so Jin Famin felt so guilty when the Tang Dynasty declared war on Silla.
Regarding the Haidong Peninsula, Jin Famin and his domestic officials were ambitious, especially for the former Baekje Kingdom. They were ready to make a move in an attempt to make the Tang Dynasty abandon Baekje and give the territory to Silla.
It is self-evident what Silla’s intentions were in sheltering the remnants of Goguryeo.
Now that the Silla Kingdom's conspiracy has been exposed, and its ambitions have been exposed to the public by the Tang Dynasty, since you have done something wrong, you must stand upright when you are beaten.
During these days, envoys from the Silla Kingdom came to Chang'an frequently. One after another, the petitions submitted by the king were more pitiful than the last. They begged and begged like a bereaved dog, and their postures of kneeling down and begging for mercy were so skillful that it made people feel distressed.
.
However, Li Zhi and his court officials shelved the Silla King's apology letter and turned a deaf ear to it.
Are you kidding me? I wanted to destroy your country, but I finally found this reason. If you just beg for mercy, will I give up?
Silla had ambitions for the Haidong Peninsula, and Datang's ambitions were even greater.
According to Li Qinzai's century-old strategy, the Tang Dynasty's ambitions did not stop at the Haidong Peninsula. It was a sea of stars. Even if the Silla Kingdom was not destroyed, the Tang Dynasty's ambitions would not be realized even in the first step.
In the face of the country's established strategy, even close relatives can be sacrificed, let alone a small country whose strength is not worthy of its ambition.
Military reports were sent to Chang'an City one after another.
After reading Li Ji's last military report, Li Qinzai closed his eyes with a faint smile on his lips.
To this day, the Tang army and the Japanese have occupied nearly half of Silla's territory. More importantly, due to the Japanese people's fearlessness and the Tang army's invincible firearms, as the war progressed, the morale of the Silla army became worse and worse.
A thousand miles away.
Facing an enemy that is impossible to defeat, there is no military morale at all.
Therefore, the farther to the back, the easier it is for the Tang army to deal with the enemies they encounter.
"If nothing else happens, the Silla Kingdom should be destroyed within a month." Li Qinzai murmured.
In other words, within the next month, Datang finally fully conquered the Haidong Peninsula and fully incorporated this land into its own territory.
The war is coming to an end, but the busy life of the Tang Dynasty has just begun.
The army conquered the land, but the court spent time and energy digesting it.
The population and household registration statistics of the occupied countries, the abolition of the written culture and language of the motherland, the unification of weights, measures and currency, the dispatch of troops and officials, the eradication of the remaining forces, and even the dispatch of Tang Confucian scholars to indoctrinate and assimilate their culture, etc.
wait.
It is conceivable that the officials of the Tang Dynasty will be very busy in the future.
Happy troubles.
The unification of the Haidong Peninsula also means that the Tang Dynasty is about to open its next chapter.
The next focus of the imperial court will be to expand the navy, set up shipyards, build sea-going ships, and prepare for the conquest of the New World.
…………
Empress Wu finally returned to Beijing.
Interestingly, just before Empress Wu returned to Beijing, the draft that Li Zhi had been thinking about finally saw the light of day. Just three days before Empress Wu returned to Chang'an City, fifty beautiful women who had been selected from thousands of people walked into the Tai Chi Palace.
.
And Li Zhi finally got his wish, and he was happy for three days.
On the fourth day, Empress Luan drove into Tai Chi Palace, and Empress Wu was shocked when she saw Li Zhi.
Li Zhi had dark circles under his eyes, a thin face, and a pure and stoic look on his face, like a sage with great wisdom.
Li Qinzai is different. He has been a sage for several months. Today, he just wants to be calm and like a beast.
Yes, Empress Wu's return to Beijing means that Cui Jie and Jin Xiang also returned to Chang'an.
As soon as the two girls' car drove into the city, Li Qinzai, who got the news, stood outside the house and waited.
The troops on duty outside the door looked at the eager look of Fifth Young Master, and everyone was filled with envy.
The love between husband and wife is deep, and the family business is prosperous without any misfortunes.
After a long time, Cui Jie and Jin Xiang's car finally arrived in front of the house. The two women got out of the car together and saw Li Qinzai waiting outside. Cui Jie and Jin Xiang couldn't help being surprised and happy. They were about to step forward to greet him, but Li Qinzai stopped.
He grabbed one with one hand and ran towards the backyard.
"It's too late to explain, get in the car quickly!"
