In a bloody crackdown, all the elderly and children were massacred.
Those who dared to resist were all killed by the sword.
The hardcover quilts form an army of ten thousand people, and women will become the playthings of these soldiers.
If it weren't for Tang Jun, Yeon Gaesumun might not have acted so ruthlessly.
But now that the Tang army is watching and may attack at any time, Yeon Gaesumun has no time to engage in hypocritical things.
Then they would suppress them bloodyly and quickly integrate the entire Japanese kingdom.
What the Japanese king did not dare to do, he, Yeon Gaesumun, dared to do.
After the integration is completed, all the peripheral areas along the coast will be abandoned.
Shrink all the troops to the palace and fight to the death with the Tang army.
If he wins, he will naturally have opportunities for further development.
With his ability, Yeon Gaesumun, he will definitely be able to carry forward the entire Japanese kingdom.
No, by then there will no longer be a Japanese kingdom, but a great Goguryeo!
If you lose, there's nothing more to say. It's just death anyway.
If the dead bird faces upward, it will not die for tens of millions of years.
Of course, the consequences of Yeon Gaesomun’s actions are also very obvious.
Within the palace, thousands of people escaped in one night.
Although Yeon Gaesumun controls the entire palace, he is an outsider after all, and there are many terrains that they cannot control. For the time being, it is difficult to control the escape of people.
However, Yeon Gaesumun didn't take it to heart at all.
If the king allows you to escape, where can you escape to?
Unless you can escape from Japan, you will be captured sooner or later.
The thousands of people who escaped were seeking relatives and friends, or they were business travelers whose homes were not in the royal city.
These people spread the atrocities of Yeon Gaesumun who killed their king, occupied the magpie's nest, and brutally killed their Japanese country.
Such breaking news made the entire Japanese people really angry.
Bage, he’s such a slave!
This Yeon Gaesumun is just a white-eyed wolf!
I remember that our king was kind enough to take you in at the beginning, but I didn’t expect that you would actually repay your favor with your hatred.
If our king hadn't taken you in, wouldn't the grass on your grave be one foot tall now?
As a human being, you should not be too far away from Gaisu Wen!
There is a saying that in everything, be afraid of comparison.
The people of the Japanese country made such a comparison in their hearts, and immediately felt that compared with Yuan Gaesuwen, the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty was a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.
Although the Tang army also came to their Japanese country to plunder.
But they are not that cruel. They only kill those who are uncooperative or too ugly.
If you are ugly, can you blame others?
They didn't kill old people and children, and they didn't bully women.
Bibi Yuan Gaisu Wen, they are so kind.
Yeon Gae So-moon, a guy who gave birth to a son without sex, will definitely not let them go.
Now, these Japanese people are wholeheartedly looking forward to the early arrival of the Tang army.
News of Yeon Gaesumun's rebellion spread wildly in the Japanese country.
At the same time, Yeon Gaesumun also began his move to integrate the entire Japanese kingdom.
In addition to leaving enough defensive power within the palace.
All other armies were dispatched by him.
They wanted to move all the people of the Japanese country to the vicinity of the palace.
Those extra old people and children will only waste food in vain, and they will definitely not take them with them.
All they want is youth and strength.
All property was looted.
In fact, what Yeon Gaeso-moon is doing now is to kill the goose to get the eggs and to fish from the dry lake.
Even this time, he was lucky enough to be able to successfully defend and let the Tang army return without success.
Next, the development of Japan is a big problem.
Because he did this, he killed a large number of Japanese people, delayed the spring plowing, and alienated people.
By next year, there will definitely be insufficient food.
When the time comes, he will have to worry about food again.
But now, Yeon Gae So-moon can't change that much.
With such integration now, there will definitely be big problems next year.
If we don't integrate now, we won't be able to do it even now.
…
These days, Li Min is living quite well in Hokkaido.
The people of Hokkaido are increasingly trusting and even favoring the Tang Army.
Because the Tang army brought their own food, they never snatched their food.
Tang Jun shopped with them, but at first they didn't dare to ask for money.
But Tang Jun would pay according to the price every time and never defaulted on an account.
What moved them even more was that Tang Jun would often go out to sea to fish, and would catch a large number of sea fish every time.
Everything that the Tang army could not eat was distributed to them.
The Japanese country is surrounded by the sea on all sides, so of course there are many people who make a living by fishing.
But their fishing boats are too crude and their fishing nets are too simple.
This also means that they are not able to catch too many fish every day.
And it is also very dangerous for small fishing boats to go out to sea.
The saying goes: It’s better to go to the mountains than to the sea. This is the truth.
And what about the warships of the Tang Dynasty?
Because the ship is larger, it can withstand greater winds and waves.
Their net is a trawl net, and it also has detection equipment that can detect schools of fish.
Therefore, in one net, there are tens of thousands of catties of fish, or even more.
Due to the weather, they couldn't eat at all, and the rest was distributed to the people of Hokkaido.
Such an army is simply ten times better than their own country's army!
In this way, these people in Hokkaido all want to become subjects of the Tang Dynasty.
I wonder how happy the people of the Tang Dynasty must be!
On Li Min's side, Mrs. Guishan has been sent back by him.
Li Min really can't do this kind of thing as a married woman.
But he did keep the cherry blossoms.
After all, he also needs someone by his side to take care of him.
And this Sakura actually knows a lot about the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and even has great attainments in literature.
This surprised Li Min.
When I have nothing to do, chatting with Sakura is a good pastime.
On this day, Li Min was reading a book.
Sakura sat next to Li Min, reached for the grapes on the table, peeled off the skins, and put them into Li Min's mouth one by one.
At this moment, Li Min's bodyguard came to report that it was Guishan who wanted to see him.
Li Min waved his hand and ordered someone to invite Guishan in.
Not long after, Guishan was brought in.
When the family was together, Guishan's knees became weak and he had to kneel down to speak.
Li Min waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, just stand and talk."
At this time, Guishan glanced at his daughter vaguely, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
It seems that his move to give his daughter away was the right move.
Moreover, the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty was so particular that he even sent his wife back.
Although he didn't really care about this, he had to say that the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty was very particular about his affairs.
Guishan couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty, it's like this. Some of our compatriots ran out of the palace."
"They brought out news that Yeon Gaesooun rebelled, killed the Japanese king, and brutally suppressed the refugees outside the palace."
"This traitor Yeon Gaesumun is doing the opposite. He sends troops everywhere to brutally kill the elderly and children and rob women."
"The young men were all recruited into an army and gathered around the palace."
"Now, everyone in the entire Japanese country is in danger, fearing that the rebels of Yeon Gaesumun will come to their hometown."
"Now, the people of the entire Japanese country are looking forward to the righteous army of the Tang Dynasty, who can plow the courts and clear holes, eliminate the traitors, and save the people of our Japanese country from the fire and water."
Hearing the news, Li Min's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Yeon Gae So Moon, is he finally starting to take action?
Moreover, he did it ruthlessly enough.
But this did help Li Min a lot.
Because Li Min wanted to capture the Japanese country and exploit the minerals here.
But the best situation is not to let these Japanese people have any resistance.
In this case, Datang would have to send more troops and spend more military expenditures.
But what now?
After being manipulated like this by Yeon Gaesumun, Tang Jun has now become a righteous army.
Li Min really has to thank Yeon Gae So Moon!
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but wave his hand and said: "Okay, don't worry, the people of Japan are in dire straits, how can we, the Tang Dynasty, sit back and watch?"
"Tomorrow, I will send a large army to save thousands of suffering Japanese people!"
Hearing Li Min's words, Guishan couldn't help but be moved to tears. He couldn't help but knelt down on the ground and thanked him: "Guishan, thank you in advance, His Royal Highness, the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Min laughed and said: "That's not necessary. Our country, the Tang Dynasty, is a country of benevolence and righteousness and a land of etiquette."
After Guishan retreated, Sakura paid homage to Li Min Yingying: "On behalf of the people of Japan, Sakura thanked the general."
Li Min looked at Sakura with a half-smile and said, "Sakura, if we talk about the root cause, all of this was brought about by this general!"
Yes, if the Tang army had not invaded, the Japanese king and Yeon Gaesomun would not have turned against each other, and Yeongaesomun would not have acted in such a rebellious manner.
In fact, the root cause of all this was brought about by Tang Jun.
Moreover, all of this was within Li Min's plan.
Now it seems that this plan has been implemented perfectly.
The most important thing is that Yeon Gaesumun was very cooperative and did better than Li Min expected.
After hearing what Li Min said, Sakura smiled charmingly and said:
"General, however, when King Yuanyuan Gaisuwen comes to our country, he is inviting a wolf into the house."
"I believe that without Tang Jun, the consequences would only be worse."
"Yeon Gae So-moon is so ambitious that sooner or later he will reveal his cannibalistic nature."
"Sooner or later, the entire Japanese country will be swallowed up by him, skin to bones."
"Instead of falling into the hands of thieves like Yuan Gaisuwen, we might as well belong to the Tang Dynasty."
Hearing this, Li Min couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Unexpectedly, this Sakura looked at the problem very thoroughly.
correct!
Suddenly, Li Min couldn't help but have a vague thought in his heart.
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but ask Sakura: "Sakura, there is something that is good for all the people of Japan. Are you willing to do it?"
Hearing Li Min's words, Sakura couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
She understands the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Before she talks about anything, she will make sacrifices for you.
But Sakura loves Japan and is willing to do anything as long as it benefits all the people.
Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but said: "General, if you have anything to do, just ask me. As long as Sakura can do it, I will go through fire and water, no matter what."
Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "Where are you thinking? You are a delicate little girl, why do you need to go through fire and water?"
"It's like this. After all the people in our country are rescued, I will still resettle them."
"You have also seen the current situation. The Japanese country is in trouble. There is no way you can survive the current predicament on your own."
"so……"
Sakura blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "So the general wants to include the Japanese country within the territory of the Tang Dynasty! Don't worry, general."
"They understand justice well and know who is his benefactor, and they will not repay kindness with enmity!"
Li Min also blinked. Is it so direct?
But that's fine, it suits my taste.
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "However, I am afraid that some people will still be confused. They think that the Tang Dynasty brought disaster to them and caused the Japanese country to perish."
"Faced with such people, what should I do? Is it possible to kill them? I am a kind man."
"So, I want to give you a task. You should be a publicity ambassador. Tell them the whole story clearly so that they don't become hostile."
"By following the Tang Dynasty, I can ensure that they have enough food and clothing."
Hearing Li Min's words, Sakura couldn't help but asked in surprise and joy: "General, can I be a publicity ambassador for a little girl from the Nu family?"
Li Min laughed and said: "Of course you can do it with me! What's wrong with women? Women can also be officials."
In the Japanese country at that time, the status of women was much lower than that in the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, in the entire ancient Tang Dynasty, the status of women was basically the highest.
There is no need to mention those domineering princesses.
There are also many officials who are afraid of their wives.
For example, Fang Xuanling is a strict wife.
The allusion of jealousy was passed down from Mrs. Fang Xuanling.
It turns out that Fang Xuanling respected and loved his wife, but was very afraid of her.
Other officials have three wives and four concubines.
Fang Xuanling was the only wife, not even a concubine.
Fang Xuanling was so afraid of his wife that his colleagues laughed at him.
After Li Shimin found out about this matter, even Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore.
Then, Li Shimin gave Fang Xuanling two beautiful maids.
But Fang Xuanling's wife forced Fang Xuanling to resist the decree.
Li Shimin was very angry after hearing this and ordered Mrs. Fang Xuanling to be called.
Then he said to her: "You will be punished by death if you disobey the decree. Now I will give you two ways to go."
"The first rule is to obey the imperial edict and take the two rewarded maids home."
"The second article is the death penalty. Drink the poisonous wine in front of you."
Fang Xuanling tried hard to persuade his wife to choose a way to survive.
But Mrs. Fang felt that if she really brought two beautiful maids home, and they were gifts from the emperor, she would definitely fall out of favor.
If this is the case, it would be better to die cleanly.
Mrs. Fang was a fierce woman. Without saying a word, she picked up the jar of poisonous wine and drank several large gulps.
Fang Xuanling quickly tried to dissuade him and cried loudly beside him.
As a result, the jar contained not poisonous wine at all, but vinegar.
Li Shimin actually didn't want to kill Mrs. Fang, he just wanted to scare her.
I originally thought that she would be afraid of death, so she would bring the two maids to her home.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be so fierce.
Moreover, the two couples hugged each other and loved each other, but they themselves were troublesome.
Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to cancel the reward.
This is where the word jealous comes from.
You see, in the Tang Dynasty, women's status was still very high.
But in the Japanese country, women were just accessories to men.
They have no status at all.
That's why Sakura acted so surprised and surprised when she heard Li Min promised to give her an official job.
Then, I couldn't help but feel anxious again.
Sakura couldn't help but asked with a guilty conscience: "General, can I do a good job in such an important position?"
Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "What's so difficult about this? What's wrong with it?"
"Don't worry. I'm here to support you. Just go ahead and do it. There won't be any problems."
Sakura couldn't help but nodded happily.
…
On the second day, Li Min indeed led the army, starting from Hokkaido and heading south.
This time, Li Min took Guishan and Yinghua directly with him.
Because Yeon Gaesoo's progress did not affect this place.
Now Li Min's choice is very important.
If we say that the Tang army looted before, it can also be said that it was to put pressure on the Japanese country and force them to hand over Yeon Gaesumun.
So now, Yeon Gaesumun has rebelled, and the Tang army still attacks the Japanese country, what should we say?
Li Min is not the kind of defender who wants to stand on the moral high ground no matter what.
But next, if we want to develop this island, the higher the cooperation of the people of the original Japanese country, the easier it will be to develop it.
Therefore, it would be best if we could resolve it peacefully.
Li Min came with Guishan and Sakura for this purpose.
However, it is obvious that it is not used at all.
When they were still five or six miles away from the city, Li Min asked the army to stop advancing.
I am going to ask Guishan to go and talk to the city lord here.
As a result, before Guishan left, the city lord here had already come forward with the officials in the city to welcome him.
This is the closest place to Hokkaido.
At first, after the Tang army occupied Hokkaido, they were also very frightened.
But then, Tang Jun made no next move.
Moreover, according to the information they received, the Tang army actually did not commit any crimes against the people of Hokkaido.
In fact, under the control of the Tang Army, the lives of the people in Hokkaido were actually better.
The order is more orderly, there are still various cases of petty theft, and the incidence rate is actually zero.
In such a comparison, whether to choose Yeon Gae Suwen or Tang Jun is simply a matter of hair on a bald man's head.
Therefore, the lord of this city was overjoyed after hearing the news of the arrival of the Tang army.
Because, if Yeon Gaesumun's army comes, his whole family will not be able to escape, and they will all die.
If Tang Jun comes, although the family property may not be saved, at least the lives of the family can be saved with great confidence.
The city lord actually took the initiative to offer the city, which was somewhat beyond Li Min's expectation.
But this is much easier.
Only Guishan beside Li Min felt resentful in his heart.
Originally, this was a good opportunity for him to perform well and make a contribution.
Unexpectedly, it was lost in vain.
Guishan couldn't help but despise the lord of this city in his heart.
You are so spineless, why don't you at least hold on for a while?
Then, when the Tang army entered the city, it actually attracted enthusiastic support from the people in the city.
This situation made Li Min feel a little dazed.
By the way, what did you do here this time?
It seems that I have come to invade the Japanese country, right?
Why does it feel to him now like disaster relief is coming?
This time, Li Min brought an army of 200,000, leaving 10,000 on the Hokkaido side.
This city once again left ten thousand people behind.
Next, Li Min continued to move forward.
The city lord of this city also wanted to make meritorious deeds, and wanted to persuade the city lord in front to surrender for Li Min.
However, his request was flatly rejected by Guishan.
Are you kidding me?
In the current situation, if everyone is not a fool, is it still necessary to persuade them to surrender?
Besides, even if you want to persuade him to surrender, I will be the one to persuade him to surrender.
By doing this, aren't you taking away my job?
Of course I can't tolerate you.
However, Guishan did not show up for the next city at all.
Everyone is not a fool. They know very well how to choose.
Following the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty, among other things, at the very least, he can save the lives of the whole family.
Moreover, the more they cooperate now, the more they can keep.
Under such circumstances, Datang conquered three cities in a row within one day.
Of course, these are big cities.
As for the small town, Li Min didn't bother to take care of it.
For every city he controlled, Li Min would leave behind 10,000 troops.
Anyway, this time, he brought a full 200,000 troops.
As for the entire Japanese kingdom, there were not many big cities despite all the efforts.
The remaining people are more than enough to deal with Yeon Gaesumun.
Li Min was not in a hurry to advance.
In any case, the more evil Yeon Gaesomun committed, the more the Japanese people would turn to the Tang Dynasty.
These three cities may face the crisis of family destruction and death due to the imminent arrival of the Yeon Gaesumun rebels.
In this case, there is chaos everywhere.
Some people took the opportunity to steal, insult women, and even kill people and set fires.
The government, on the other hand, has no control over these matters and has no intention of managing them.
Under this situation, these three cities almost became the capitals of chaos.
After the arrival of the Tang army, this situation was immediately reversed.
Li Min directly ordered that anyone who dared to cause trouble, even if it was just stealing, would be beheaded after being caught.
The head hangs in the city.
Of course, stealing is not a crime that leads to death, but in such a chaotic situation, it will be difficult to return to normal in a short time without re-examination.
Sure enough, after killing a group of troublemakers, the security of the three cities was immediately reversed.
