The first thousand two hundred and fifty-six chapters of the enemy chief
Zhu Ye was almost desperate. Guo and Song troops actually blocked the Han River. How could they retreat north?
Their food supply had been cut off on the road, and their war horses had been killed and eaten. Only Zhu Ye and a few horses of ten thousand captains were left. The soldiers were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they were looking forward to reaching Hanzhou City on the other side of the Han River.
Have a great meal.
But now they couldn't cross the river. Everyone looked towards Zhu Ye. Zhu Ye was also full of anger and despair. He had no choice but to order: "The whole army retreats eastward!"
They had no choice but to retreat eastward to see if they could find a river surface that was not blocked by enemy warships and cross the river to retreat north.
But they had just walked less than a mile when dust was flying in the distance and the sound was like thunder. The enemy cavalry was chasing them. Enemy cavalry also appeared in the east, and countless enemy troops also appeared on the other side. They were surrounded.
Zhu Ye drew his sword and shouted desperately: "Brothers, fight with the enemy!"
The 20,000 Donghu troops were equally desperate. Their physical strength was exhausted and they were so hungry that they could not even carry weapons. How could they fight against the enemy's powerful cavalry?
They quickly gathered together. At this moment, arrows rained down from the warships behind them, attacking the Donghu soldiers from behind. They were attacked from both sides. The desperate Donghu soldiers drew their swords and rushed towards the incoming cavalry with shouts.
Thirty thousand cavalry came rushing from the south and east. Pei Xin waved his gun and shouted loudly: "Kill them all and leave no prisoners!"
The cavalry rushed into the enemy crowd like lightning, slashing with swords and stabbing with spears. One by one, the Donghu soldiers fell under the swords of the Jin cavalry...
This was a completely one-sided massacre. Although the Donghu soldiers had a large number of soldiers, their morale was exhausted and they had no resistance. They were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They watched the enemy cavalry attack them and felt the sharpness.
The sharp pain of the spear piercing their chests, the darkness of the moment when their heads were chopped off, and all they had left was their dying cries before death.
Zhu Yehe's soldiers were surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, and more than twenty soldiers were quickly killed. Only Zhu Ye was left shouting, his voice hoarse, waving his sword and fighting with the Jin cavalry. His martial arts skills
Gao Qiang, but not interested in fighting, tried to break through the siege and escape to the east, but he couldn't go. There were Jin cavalry on both sides, surrounding him like an iron barrel.
Pei Xin discovered Zhu Ye. Seeing that Zhu Ye was quite brave, he took off his bow and arrow, drew an arrow, drew the bow like a full moon, and shot it...
Pei Xin's archery skills were second only to Jin King Guo Song in the Jin army, and he was known as the second best arrow in the world. This arrow passed through the gap between several soldiers, and also blocked Zhu Ye's sight, 'Pfft!'
The arrow hit Zhu Ye's throat.
Zhu Ye grabbed his throat with one hand. A soldier seized the opportunity and stabbed Zhu Ye hard in the back of the heart with a spear. The spear directly pierced Zhu Ye's vest and pierced his heart. Zhu Ye was killed immediately.
Five or six spears pierced his body at the same time and picked up his body.
Donghu soldiers fled for their lives and were chased and massacred by cavalry. Many soldiers jumped into the Han River to survive, and most of them drowned in the river. Even if they could swim, they would still be shot by arrows from the boats in the river...
At noon, this one-sided massacre finally ended. All more than 21,000 Donghu soldiers were killed by the Jin cavalry, and no one survived. However, in this fierce battle, the Jin army also paid the price of more than 2,000 casualties.
At the same time, the suppression of Donghu soldiers by various states was also in full swing. In the melee, a few Silla nobles who were lucky enough to escape the massacre by the Donghu people also suffered and died in the melee. But whether they died at the hands of the Donghu people or not
He died in the hands of the Jin army, and there is no way to trace him. All the blame will be shouldered by the Donghu soldiers.
Guo Song knew very well that this was the best opportunity to eradicate the remaining Silla clans. If they were not eradicated now, they would inevitably become a hidden danger in the future.
On the tenth day of April, the 150,000-strong army led by Guo Song completely annihilated Zhu Ye's 90,000 Donghu army. Guo Song ordered the army to rest for five days.
That afternoon, Du Yingxing, the marching commander, came to the Jin king's tent. Guo Song was in a good mood. He was looking through a thick roster. This was a roster of Jin soldiers and Silla women. Guo Song did not expect the soldiers to sign up.
The meeting was so enthusiastic that a total of 35,000 people signed up.
"How many Silla women are willing to marry Jin soldiers?" Guo Song asked with a smile.
"Reporting to Your Highness, there are now not only women in Jinzhou City, but also women in Jinhaidu. There are more than 50,000 women in total. They are all women over 16, 17 or more than 20 years old. They are all willing to marry Jin soldiers.
, Silla originally had more women than men, but now that there are so many young and strong men willing to marry them, of course they are very happy."
"Then how do you pair them up?"
Du Yingxing smiled bitterly and said: "There are too many people. It is impossible for two people to be happy. The only way is to draw lots. I plan to number all the women and let the soldiers draw. Whoever is drawn will be the one. This is God's will."
, it’s a God-given marriage.”
Guo Song nodded and said: "We must make it clear to the soldiers that if they marry a Silla woman, they must stay in Silla. I will give them ample land, give them real estate, and grant them honorary officers. They
You can even marry two Silla women if you want. In short, if they stay in Silla, I will never treat them badly."
………
Guo Song immediately announced the treatment of soldiers who stayed in Silla. All soldiers who were willing to stay in Silla were given three hectares of land and were exempted from land tax for fifty years. The soldiers and their children were exempted from other taxes for life. They were given to counties or villages.
One house, the area of the house in the county town should not be less than two acres, and the area of the village should not be less than three acres. Each person will be given an additional 300 guan of housing allowance, and will be awarded the rank of Feiqiwei or above.
In the past two days, the topic in the entire army was whether to marry a Silla woman or whether to stay in Silla. This topic aroused heated discussion among the soldiers. Some soldiers expressed that they still wanted to return to their hometown, but some soldiers believed that in Silla,
It's not bad for Luo to be a small landowner.
However, one thing is recognized by everyone. If they stay in Silla, their status will be very high, and their descendants are likely to become Silla nobles. It is this point that attracts Jin soldiers.
As a result of the discussion, the number of Jin soldiers willing to stay in Silla not only did not decrease, but increased by more than 10,000. The generous treatment given by Guo Song inspired the soldiers, and 30% of the 150,000 troops were willing to stay in Silla. If
Excluding those who are already married, more than half of the soldiers are actually willing to stay.
The soldiers then conducted the first draw of lots. Twenty-four thousand soldiers and twenty-four thousand young Silla women were officially married under the witness of King Guo Song of Jin Dynasty. The army gave out twenty-four thousand small caps.
The tent serves as their temporary bridal chamber.
Thousands of gunpowder arrows flew into the sky and exploded in the night sky, colorfully celebrating the soldiers' wedding...
Guo Song also struck while the iron was hot, cooking raw rice into cooked rice when the soldiers were hot-headed. At least they all stayed voluntarily now, which is much better than forcing them to stay in the future.
On the sea west of the mouth of the Han River, dozens of large ships are sailing towards Silla in the wind and waves. On the leader ship is Prime Minister Zhang Qiu'an. Zhang Qiu'an will serve as the first Prime Minister of Silla, and the king of Silla will be concurrently served by Guo Song.
, Zhang Qiu'an was actually the top administrator of Silla, and the governor of the Silla garrison was Yang Meng.
Along with Zhang Qiu'an, there are more than a hundred civil servants who came to Silla. They are all county-level officials selected from various places in Guanlong. After arriving in Silla, these civil servants will be promoted to one level each.
In addition, hundreds of young civil servants will follow, with a five-year term. These hundreds of young civil servants mainly come to Silla to teach and assist county officials in governing the local area. They are all Jinshi of Ming Dynasty and are qualified to serve as officials in the future.
After their term of office expires, they will succeed them.
Due to the long term of office, some people took office with their wives and children, but most of the young civil servants were not yet married.
Since December last year, they have gathered in Chang'an for training, mainly language training. They need to be able to speak simple Silla dialect.
A large number of books, pens, ink and other materials were also transported with the ship. To this end, the Government formulated a thirty-year transformation plan for Silla and Liaodong. Through long-term education, it took one generation to gradually assimilate the people of Silla and Liaodong.
"Prime Minister, I heard that all the nobles of Silla have disappeared. Is this news true?" asked Lu Youan, the Minister of Rites, who will serve as the deputy prime minister of Silla and become Zhang Qiuan's deputy.
Zhang Qiu'an nodded, "I've heard it too, but there's no exact information, but I guess it's true. The Donghu people captured the capital of the Silla Kingdom and massacred them. These nobles and nobles were the first to bear the brunt. In fact, there were no such nobles and nobles.
Being a noble family is a good thing!"
"Xiang Guo is right. When I was chatting with several officials, they were a little worried about whether the people of Silla would rise up in rebellion?"
Zhang Qiu'an smiled slightly, "Why rebel? Ordinary people are the most tolerant. As long as they can survive, no one will risk beheading to rebel. Those who really want to rebel are the careerists who instigate some people who cannot live.
The people who went down followed them to rebel. If the people had enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and shelter from the wind and rain, they would definitely not follow them in rebellion, but would report them."
"But can we manage the entire Silla well with just over a hundred officials?"
"These more than 100 officials not only govern Silla, but also Liaodong. The number is a little small, so we need to cultivate a group of Silla people who have common interests with us. With common interests, they are even better than us.
We have to work harder and do our best to assimilate the Silla people, because they are also afraid that their descendants will be liquidated! So as long as everyone assimilates, they will become the biggest beneficiaries. Besides, we still have hundreds of young civil servants!"
Lu Youan gave a thumbs up and praised: "The Prime Minister still sees things thoroughly!"
Zhang Qiu'an chuckled. The one who really saw clearly was His Highness Prince Jin, but Zhang Qiu'an couldn't say more.
At this time, the boatman shouted: "The mouth of the river is right ahead!"
Everyone walked out of the cabin and looked into the distance. They saw land and a vast white river mouth. They were about to arrive.
