Chapter 2992 It's not a long story, mainly Cheng Sanlang (3200 words)
The stupidity and fear of death of the high-ranking officials of Goguryeo led them to die. In addition, their hometowns oppressed their compatriots.
All in all, it resonated well with these captured soldiers. Even the new prisoners of war who had just arrived, many had red eyes and quietly choked with sobs.
After that, many Goguryeo soldiers themselves stepped onto the stage, and with the encouragement of their comrades, they appeared and spoke out.
He told the tragic story of being dragged out of his home and forced to serve as a soldier.
There were also some prisoners of war with missing arms and legs standing on the stage, telling hoarse stories about how they were deceived by Goguryeo and worked hard for them, only to become disabled as a result.
Fortunately, the tolerant and kind Tang Dynasty took them in and healed their injuries.
They were even given jobs within their capabilities so that they could support themselves with their disabled bodies.
They hope that in the future, after the Tang Dynasty has conquered Goguryeo.
He will return to his hometown and continue to live under the rule of the sun-drenched Tang Dynasty.
Rather than living under the heavy pressure of Goguryeo, which was full of darkness and pain, he was unwilling to live a life worse than a pig or a dog.
When the show is over, someone will go up to the stage and start teaching them how to read. The big characters are particularly eye-catching under the firelight.
Rather than saying it is literacy, it is better to say it is a brainwashing literacy game.
The most classic sentence is: Missteps may not necessarily be regretted forever. Determine to be a new person now; be a citizen of the Tang Dynasty and become a useful material.
Even after listening to it for a short while, Li Jing found it catchy and even happily recited it aloud along with the prisoners of war.
Fang Jun and Li Dejiao, who had been with Li Jing for a whole day, were already exhausted physically and mentally, but what they didn't expect was that the military god of the Tang Dynasty was still very energetic.
After sitting there for more than half an hour, until the study was over and the prisoners of war returned to camp to rest, Li Jing got up and left without feeling satisfied.
I saw that the new prisoners of war who had just arrived were quickly integrated into the large collective of this prisoner of war labor camp at a refreshing and refined speed.
This made Li Jing feel sad and sighing at the same time. He had to admit that Cheng Sanlang was a very talented guy.
Because of his imaginative and various tricks, he influenced the new prisoners of war by using the old to guide the new, and using fellow villagers and relatives to influence the new prisoners of war.
Using various methods to brainwash the good things of the Tang Dynasty can indeed change the outlook of these prisoners of war in the shortest possible time.
"I finally understand why Cheng Sanlang is not afraid of having too many prisoners of war, but is afraid that there are not enough."
After hearing his father's emotion, Li Dejiang, who was yawning in boredom at the side, quickly agreed subconsciously.
"That's natural. The children are stunned to see these new tricks that boy Cheng Sanlang plays with prisoners of war."
"..." The smile on Li Jing's face suddenly froze. He felt that there was something wrong with his son's words.
Forget it, father and son finally reunited, and they can't face each other in a bad way because of this little flaw.
Anyway, I have watched the drama all day long, so I should rush to meet Ma Zhou, who has gone deep into the people of Liaodong City to understand the sufferings of the people, and communicate with each other to see what the specific situation is.
#####
Just when Li Jing left the prisoner-of-war camp gate, he saw the two foreign leaders who had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty standing outside the prisoner-of-war camp gate with uneasy expressions on their faces.
They were Li Bian, the governor of Wumeng Prefecture of the Mohe tribe, who had met His Majesty several times before, and Li Kuge, the governor of the Songmo governor's office of the Khitan tribe.
When the two of them saw Li Jing stepping out of the prisoner-of-war camp, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Li Jing, with flattering smiles and greetings.
Li Jing looked at the flattering smiles of these two people and glanced sideways at Fang Jun beside him.
However, Fang Jun has an honest and honest face, and there are no emotional changes at all.
On the contrary, his own son kept winking at him. Li Jing's heart moved, and he started fighting with the two alien leaders with a smile.
After a short while, Brother Li Ku couldn't bear it any longer. He gritted his teeth and said to Li Jingyan.
"Li Weigong, I really have something to say, and I won't be happy to say it out loud. This matter is related to the safety of my country, the Tang Dynasty and Liao Dynasty..."
Li Jing's thick white eyebrows raised, and his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly. His hawk-like eyes made Brother Li Ku feel frightened.
But at this moment, Brother Li Ku, who had already benefited from the Khitan tribes who were willing to accept him as their co-leader, had already rushed the duck and had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.
Of course, Brother Li Ku also knew very well what kind of person this Cheng was. He could not afford to offend His Majesty's beloved son-in-law and a popular man.
But this did not prevent him from representing the Khitan tribes to state important events to Li Jing.
That is, Cheng Sanlang, the governor of Liaodong Prefecture, was too ruthless in order to allow Liaodong Prefecture and surrounding cities to absorb a large number of people.
This guy sends people everywhere to spread the word about the beauty of the Tang Dynasty. As long as you are willing to come and live in the city-states of the Tang Dynasty, you will have enough food and clothing, obtain production tools, and your children will also have the opportunity to read and write.
As for men, whether you go farming or mining, your life will definitely be better than starving and freezing in the mountains and forests.
As a result, both the eight Khitan tribes and the various Mohe tribes had already headed to Liaodong City with their families and families in tow.
As well as the surrounding cities, I plan to just live around those cities and never leave.
"Gong Wei, among our eight Khitan tribes, at least a thousand households have moved to various cities. If we move too much, our eight Khitan tribes will..."
Brother Li Ku's words also made Li Bian on the side nod frequently in agreement.
Li Jing heard what these two men said, and after stroking his long beard and pondering for a long time, he opened his mouth to comfort the two ethnic minority leaders.
"I will definitely take this matter to heart and ask Governor Cheng later."
"Not only do you know how loyal your tribe is to the Tang Dynasty, but also your Wumeng Mohe tribe, and your Majesty is also very clear about it..."
After Li Jing comforted them, he casually asked the two people some questions.
Finally, I told these two people to be patient and wait for news until I went to deal with Cheng Sanlang.
After receiving the promise from the military god of the Tang Dynasty, Li Kuge and Li Bian both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Jing, Fang Jun, and Li Dexiao leaving.
"Brother Ku, tell me, can Li Weigong really be able to persuade Governor Cheng?"
"We are all willing to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Look at how good they are to those prisoners of war now. Do they have to treat us badly?"
"Yes, I hope Li Weigong can tell Governor Cheng to stop making trouble. The current situation is just right..."
#####
Li Bian's words made Brother Li Ku also smile knowingly.
Yes, nowadays, anyone who is not blind can feel that the Tang Dynasty has completely gained the upper hand in Liaodong.
It can be said that they, the local snakes in Liaodong, originally thought that this would be a situation where the two heroes of Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo would compete.
As early as the beginning of the war, they Mohe tribes and Khitan tribes were hedging their bets.
Otherwise, why would Goguryeo have a large number of Khitan and Mohe soldiers and horses under its command, and the Tang Dynasty also had them.
Although Li Kuge and Li Bian were friendly to the Tang Dynasty, they were also willing to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
But they will also be closer to their tribe or ethnic group.
Just like now, the Khitan tribes that originally followed Goguryeo now see that Goguryeo has retreated to the Yalu River.
And this Liao land has become the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Originally, for them, it was just a change of ruler on their heads.
They, the leaders of the Khitan tribes, or the leaders of the Mohe tribe, will still lead the tribes as they did in the past and continue to live freely.
But who would have thought that things would not develop as they imagined.
As the saying goes, it’s not a long story, but the main thing is Cheng Sanlang.
Everyone knows that Liaodong is bitterly cold. Those who live in Liao, whether they are Khitan, Mohe, or Han people, even live in poverty.
Those who can really live a meaningful life are the upper class people, like these tribal leaders.
Of course, the kind of unstable leader of a small tribe does not belong to the upper class like them.
Cheng Sanlang, the governor of Liaodong Prefecture, dispatched countless work teams, and the members of these work teams were all unlucky people who originally belonged to the prisoner of war camp.
After being brainwashed by that guy Cheng Sanlang, he began to help Datang brainwash the tribes.
They pulled one and two, although the tribes they pulled at the beginning were all tribes that were previously hostile to the Tang Dynasty.
Those tribal warriors fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and now, these brainwashed tribal warriors have returned to the tribe and told more people.
Why continue to stay in the bitter cold primeval forest and suffer hardships? Datang has now become the master of this land.
They won't steal our women, nor will they let us be slaves, but they just hope that we can move to those cities in the Tang Dynasty.
The cultivated fields will be owned by the individual, and you can also work in a business, mine, or work in various factories.
You can exchange it for money, and you can buy food with the money. With one month's salary, you can buy enough food for a year, or almost half a pig.
It can be said that as long as you go to the towns, one month's salary is enough to support a family of five.
Moreover, the little baby can still go to school. After enrolling, the school will provide food and clothing, and he can also buy some good stuff at home.
After the children enter school, they will not only be able to read and write, but they will also be able to write and calculate. In the future, the children will become smart people.
Soon, someone was moved and followed him to the city that was already ruled by the Tang Dynasty.
A very short time, abundant supplies, a tall and spacious residence, and no need to worry about the intrusion of wild beasts and other tribes.
As long as you work conscientiously every day, the wages you get can be used to buy a family full of food and warmth. Only a fool would not be happy.
Where there is a first household, there will be a second household. After all, most people in these tribes are related by relatives.
Just like the eight tribes of Khitan, or the various tribes of Mohe, before each other, they are either showing off or showing respect.
All in all, the news that they were living well, well fed, and clothed under the rule of the Tang Dynasty soon attracted more relatives and friends to come and join them.
At first, the upper class people of Khitan and Mohe didn't care much.
However, as more and more people left the mountains and tribes to settle in the towns of Datang, they finally had no way to remain calm...
Keep working hard tomorrow! My head still hurts a little today, but it’s much better now
