After selecting the land, they would marry the local Han people, then learn the advanced farming techniques of the Han people, receive the orthodox ideological and cultural education of the Han people, and integrate into the Han business network that has spread to every corner... Gradually, no one would think that
I was born in a nation in the ice and snow of Liaodong, and I would only regard myself as a man of the people.
In this way, there will no longer be a Khitan nation in the future.
With this move, the big man is playing very smoothly now.
Therefore, Yang Su and others had already guessed His Majesty's intention by looking at Li Xingchen's expression.
They could only sigh in their hearts. If it were the emperor who wanted to show off his power, he would have killed Goguryeo in the name of protecting his younger brother. But now sitting on the throne is a "
The emperor who wants it all.
He not only thought about defeating Goguryeo, but also thought about everything about his younger brother's family.
And he also plans to make everything so logical that no one can say anything wrong.
The corner of Yang Su's mouth also evoked a smile.
Although this method is a bit harsh, it suits him very well.
Anyway, it’s not about one’s own people, there’s no need to be harsh or cruel, as long as one’s own interests are maximized.
Yang Su has been such a person from beginning to end.
"Then should we first issue a decree to delay the Khitan's stay?" Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice.
The big man must make a statement. Otherwise, if the Khitan people see that the letter they sent for help will fall into the sea, they will have no hope for the big man. I am afraid they will turn around and fall into the arms of Goguryeo.
Although Goguryeo has clearly revealed its greed for these minerals in Khitan, at least it has not directly massacred the Khitan people. Therefore, as long as the Khitan people give up these minerals, it is not necessarily possible for both parties to peacefully resolve the dispute. Perhaps what the Khitan people have lost is
Money, land, and even personal freedom, but at least it is better than a life-and-death fight with Goguryeo. Because anyone with any brain can see that Goguryeo relies on the strong to bully the weak, and the only one who will die is the Khitan.
And now that the Han wants the Khitans to resist Goguryeo on their own as much as possible, they should show their attitude.
Otherwise, in the blink of an eye, Goguryeo and Khitan might join forces to deal with the Han.
For these ethnic groups that have nothing to do with China in the first place, no one can expect them to always be respectful to the big man. It is completely reasonable for them to hug their thighs one second and turn their backs and deny them the next second.
In fact, Li Xingchen doesn't mind that the Khitan and Goguryeo join forces. At worst, they can solve it together. But now Li Xingchen doesn't want the big man who has finally been freed from the predicament of the Battle of the Northwest to face too much pressure, so he makes good use of the Khitan.
The most important thing for this tool man is to support them in fighting a war of attrition with Goguryeo.
"A decree is not enough." Li Xingchen said slowly, "During the Northern Expedition, we captured a lot of armor and weapons from the Zhou people, right? Where are these stored now?"
The Taiwei Mansion was in charge of this matter, and Yang Su said in a deep voice immediately: "After taking Yecheng, we counted the treasury and the seizures. A total of 10,000 pieces of armor and countless weapons were obtained. The other state governments also
They should all gain something.”
Li Xingchen nodded. These are all things left over from the Northern Zhou Dynasty and even the Northern Qi Dynasty. The styles are various and not uniform, and many of them are damaged, so the Han army is not interested in them. But now there are not enough manpower to help.
In order to remanufacture these things, we can only pile them in the treasury first. In addition, they can also be regarded as logistical reserves that can be used by local soldiers for training and actual combat preparations.
When Li Xingchen mentioned this, Yang Su naturally reacted: "Your Majesty plans to give these things to the Khitan people?"
"That's right, we have to express our sincere expression, otherwise we will just shout slogans, and the Khitan people will not be able to feel it." Li Xingchen said lightly, "We are in a different place, and reinforcements have not yet arrived. As the leader of the Khitan, what will you do?
How to choose? And what if there are suddenly more armors and weapons, or even large crossbows or even thunder and other firearms? How to choose? "
Yang Sudeng nodded immediately.
The Khitan people have survived in the cracks for so many years, and of course they are not willing to directly submit to anyone because of the conflict between the Han and Goguryeo. They should still prefer to maintain their national independence, so they strive to seek help from the Han, and in fact there are
A bit like driving away wolves and devouring tigers.
Now that the Han is supporting some weapons and armor, it is obviously enough to show that the Han really wants to help the Khitans. The so-called soldiers and horses have not been mobilized yet, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the Khitans.
If they can rely on these things to teach the Goguryeo people a lesson, then the Goguryeo people may not necessarily continue to advance westward. By then, the Khitan people will be able to win this battle without even needing the help of the Han Dynasty.
As the leader of the Khitan, since he has such a mentality, even if he knows that Goguryeo has an absolute numerical advantage, his struggle may not necessarily achieve good results in the end, but after all, he still hopes to give it a try instead of directly belonging to the Khitan.
Goguryeo.
This gave the big man more time to prepare.
Xiao Shilian couldn't help but smile and said: "That's right, we don't have any use for these things anyway, so why not give the Khitans a little support and let the Khitans know that the big man will always be their strong backing."
After saying this, although the people present were all shameless people, they all exchanged glances subconsciously, feeling a little helpless.
Do you plan to let them fight Goguryeo and lose both sides, and then gain a strong backing for the fishermen?
Li Xingchen smiled.
When the Celestial Empire comes to the country and thousands of people come to the DPRK, it's all about face and no pretense. How can these small countries exchange a few local products for rewards from the Celestial Dynasty and vassal status? If it were the original situation, Li Xingchen would be able to
Understandable. After all, in the eyes of the government and the public, these small countries do not have many resources and are even uncivilized lands. Even if they are conquered, there is nothing to gain. Therefore, it is better to create an aura where all nations come to visit.
But now that the big man knows that there are good things in their place, naturally he can no longer be polite.
The civil and military personnel under his command all knew this fact, so Li Xingchen was relieved.
Face is not important, the real money and mineral resources obtained are the most important.
The people can pay attention to morality, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, but in the court, the top people must learn how to play hooligans against those outside who are not of my race.
"In addition, the Marine Corps and Navy must be prepared for a cross-sea expedition." Li Xingchen then looked at Wang Chang, "When all the units of the Army Division are assembled, the Navy will launch an attack on Goguryeo at the same time."
