Chapter 39: Prisoners of War Share the Spoils

The next night, Lin Lian met Zhen Feng again in the inner city of Jeju.

Overnight, Zhen Feng's sideburns added a lot of frost white, and his face was haggard. For him, whether it is to survive or die, it is a difficult choice.

Lin Jian changed into a lake-blue Confucian shirt, walked out of the back house with Song Jia, lifted his placket, sat cross-legged on the soft couch behind the bookcase, watched Zhen Feng sit opposite him straight, and asked, "What does Governor Zhen think of my suggestion?" ”

"In the battle of Qingchuan River, Zuo Jing was surrounded by the Donghu people, and after being released, he became the puppet and echo worm of the Donghu people. If Zhen wants to do the same, it is a miscalculation. Zhen Feng straightened his waist and said without being arrogant or humble.

"The envoy only hoped that the two countries would stop fighting and reconcile, so how could he ever think of interfering in the national affairs of Goryeo?" Lin Jian laughed and said.

Zhen Feng slowly closed his eyes, just because he still hadn't made up his mind at this time, Lin Lian said that he didn't mean to interfere in the national affairs of Goryeo, but his meaning was like lice on a bald man's head, very clear.

After a long time, Zhen Feng opened his eyes, supported the bookcase with both hands, bowed his head and said, "If the envoy wishes, Zhen is willing to go back." ”

"Good!" Lin Jian laughed and said loudly, "Governor Zhen is a person who understands, and it is easy to talk to people who understand, Inspector Zhen will return to China on this trip, and I will try my best to meet you if you have any requirements." But don't make too many requests for your request! ”

"I have gained a lot from this battle, and I think there are some shoddy armor that I can't look down on, can I give it to Haiyang?" Zhen Feng said.

"It's okay, there are no good things, let the three thousand Haiyang soldiers go back with you, and you have to go with a gun and spear!" Lin Jian said generously, he was still afraid that he would forcibly send a batch of armor to Zhen Feng and throw it into the sea. Since Zhen Feng has the mind to guard against Zuo Jing, it is really good, good things are useless, three thousand spears are not worth much silver, and said, "The captured military attache of the Terracotta Division of Haiyang County, who do you want to go back with you." If you draw up a list, I'll give you all the time! ”

"Although I don't know who you have captured, as long as it is a general of Haiyang County, I hope to bring it back to Goryeo without falling." Zhen Feng said.

He knew what Lin Tie was thinking, so he didn't expect Lin Tie to agree to let him bring all the Goryeo generals who were captured in this battle back to Goryeo, but he still wanted to take all the generals of Haiyang County away.

"Okay, whatever you want." Lin Jian said.

Song Jia knelt on the side, took out a stack of files, and handed them to Lin Bin.

Lin Jian took the file and looked at it, and said: "There are captured military attaches in Haiyang County here, all of whom are above the rank of chief, and there are eighty-nine people!" The number of ordinary soldiers was 2,963...... I'll give you a more spacious place to live, and I'll send your military attache over first. ”

If Zhen Feng wanted to quickly master the soldiers of Haiyang County, he must first master his former subordinates. Not all of these eighty-nine military attaches are loyal to Zhen Feng, and if they are suddenly released back to Goryeo, who knows what these military attaches will think in their hearts? 、

Lin Jian first asked Zhen Feng to contact these military attachΓ©s first, as long as he could unify the thoughts of these military attachΓ©s first, he was not afraid of any chaos that would happen to ordinary soldiers.

Zhen Feng lowered his head and said, "Thank you for making it complete!" ”

**********

Lin Jian did not deliberately block the news of sending Zhen Feng and the soldiers of Haiyang County back to Goryeo, which shocked the Danluo people very much, but it was Saga Yoshigen who first rushed over to persuade and dissuade him.

"The plan to make the domestic forces that want to use Zhen Feng to divide Goryeo is very good, but who knows that Zhen Feng and Zuo Jing can't abandon their previous suspicions? At that time, I am afraid that it will be a little late to know the harm of the tiger returning to the forest," Saga Yorigen said, "I read the history of the Spring and Autumn Period. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin soldiers attacked Zheng, and when they returned, they were broken by the Jin soldiers, and the Qin lord Meng Ming and others were captured. Jin wanted to separate the monarchs and ministers of Qin and return Meng Ming and others. However, after Meng Ming returned to Qin, not only did he die without being convicted, but he was still reused by the king of Qin, and finally led his troops to defeat the Jin state. The lessons of the Jin Kingdom must be ignored! ”

Qin's attack on Zheng was what happened during the period of Qin Mugong, and if the lord of Goryeo or the minister of Goryeo who controlled the state government, Zuo Jing, could have half the majesty and strategy of Qin Mugong, he would not have succumbed to the iron hooves of the Dongyu and secretly survived, let alone be stupid enough to send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Danluo Island at one time.

"The government's worries are also reasonable," Lin Jian said, "so I only allow Zhen Feng to lead the soldiers of Haiyang County back to Goryeo, and the other prisoners of war will still be detained......

At this time, someone informed that Li Jian, the lord of Danluo, Chi Zhou, the governor of Dongzhou, and the three people from the nearby village Jinye had come to see him, and Lin Jian invited them in so that they could explain the matter together.

Zhen Feng coveted Danluo in Haiyang County for a long time, and it was he who led the soldiers of Haiyang County to attack Danluo first, setting off this military incident.

When Zhen Feng returned to Goryeo, the Danluo people were the most sensitive.

Danluo was weak and weak, and the lord Li Jian was very worried, but his voice was not as loud as Saga Laiyuan.

"After this defeat, it is even more difficult for the Goryeo people to escape the grasp of the Eastern Prisoners," Lin Jian patiently explained to everyone, "After the Eastern Prisoners obtained the two Liao, their ambitions swelled to the point that it was difficult to contain and their desires were difficult to fill, and they would inevitably drive Goryeo to confront our Huaidong with the strength of a country." After Zhen Feng returned to Goryeo, he would inevitably be suspicious of Goryeo Prime Minister Zuo Jing, which would make Goryeo antagonistic and relieve the pressure of Huaidong, Danluo, Saga and Jinxiang clans. Even if Zhen Feng surrendered to Prime Minister Zuo Jing immediately after returning to Goryeo, how much difference could there be if he made 3,000 more generals in Goryeo? ”

"What a strange conspiracy," Jinye clapped his hands and praised, "Zhen Feng knows the mind of the envoy, and after returning to Goryeo, he will protect himself, and he will also oppose Zuo Jing, the prime minister of Goryeo." In addition, it was even more wonderful that the envoys only allowed the soldiers of Haiyang to return to Goryeo, while the other prisoners of war were detained. If Zhen Feng has no soldiers and horses to bring back, he will have no capital to stand up. He safely led his troops and horses back, even if he was sincere to Zuo Jing, the prime minister of Goryeo, it was impossible to give trust. In this battle, in addition to Haiyang County, Guannai County and Shannan County sent the most troops in Goryeo, how could the magnates of these two counties not have suspicion of Zhen Feng? The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is really wonderful to make it a plan! ”

Lin Jian smiled slightly, didn't pay much attention to the praise of the neighbors, and said: "Speaking of prisoners of war, since everyone is here, let's talk about the disposal of prisoners of war!" In addition to the soldiers of Haiyang County who were to be repatriated to Goryeo, there were still about 6,900 prisoners of war," he looked at the Danluo lord and asked, "Lord Li, how many prisoners of war can Danluo accommodate?" ”

It is cruel to say, but the population, especially the young and strong men, has always been the most important resource for the agricultural system, and the most important thing for the eastern captives to invade Yannan is to kidnap the population.

Lin Jian will not do anything to kidnap civilians, but he also does not have the level of benevolence, righteousness and morality to talk about human rights with the invading prisoners of war. Even after a thousand years, there is still a labor camp prisoner.

Danluo Island, Dongshu and Kyushu Island were relatively sparsely populated, and prisoners of war became the most important trophies.

In this battle, the Danluo Kingdom sacrificed a lot, and Lin Jian could not help but set aside a part of the spoils to make up for them.

In this battle, Danluo lost about 2,000 young and middle-aged people, compared with only 30,000 Dingkou, which was a rather heavy loss; In addition, Dan Luo had to maintain a standing army of about 3,000 people. For a long time, the number of young and strong men who could be used for labor on Danluo Island decreased by nearly half compared with before the war.

Danluo was in great need of replenishment of young and strong labor, and prisoners of war were undoubtedly a good choice. Accommodating prisoners of war is not always better, there is too much greed, and control is also a problem, which will also sow disaster in the future

Li Jian, the lord of Danluo, had already considered this problem, and when he saw Lin Lian asking, he replied: "Danluo can barely accommodate 3,000 people, and no matter how much it is, it will not be able to catch it!" ”

Chi Xuan scolded secretly in his heart: I'm not afraid that I will be able to eat, let Zhen Feng and the soldiers of Haiyang County return to Goryeo, and there are less than 7,000 prisoners of war left, and Li Jian will eat nearly half of them.

"Then I will hand over the 3,000 prisoners of war to Danluo for placement," Lin Jian thought that there should not be much hidden danger in the placement of 3,000 prisoners of war on Danluo Island, so he agreed, and said to Chi Zhou and Saga Laiyuan, "In addition, there are nearly 4,000 prisoners of war to deal with, which is quite troublesome, I hope that the Dongzhou Governor's Mansion and the Saga clan can share my worries!" ”

Chi Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect that there would be his benefits, so he hurriedly responded: "How can it be said that it is troublesome?" It is our blessing to share the worries of the substitution system! ”

Saga Yorigen let go of his dissatisfaction with Lin Tie pulling the Kingo clan into the alliance, after all, after taking Tsushima Island, the Saga clan made up for the loss of ceding Matsuura and Hirado, and there were still a large number of prisoners of war from this side to share, and this trip can be said to be more than a loss. The contradiction with the Kongo clan can be left until after the elimination of the Ping clan.

Saga Yorigen hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you for your trust!" ”

"Then I'll trouble the Saga family with the two thousand prisoners of war," Lin Jian said, "The rest will be settled by the Dongzhou Governor's Office, do you think it's better to deal with it like this?" ”

"The system makes it wise!" Chi Xuan and Saga said in unison.

The Saga family accepted only slightly more prisoners of war than Toshu, but Saga Yorigen was not dissatisfied. Lin Jian didn't give a single prisoner of war to the Saga family, what could he say? At least this time, between the Saga clan and the Kongo clan, Hayashi was leaning towards the Saga clan.

Tsuno didn't get the slightest benefit, and his face was the same.

In the battle of Danluo, the Saga clan and Chi Xuan contributed after all, and they were not rewarded for their merits, but they were not rewarded for their merits, but they were not rewarded for their merits, and how did Lin Jian maintain his prestige and practice restraint in the Haidong region?

The matter was largely settled.

The chaos in the Central Plains led to a large number of displaced people to the south. Counting the workers and their families, the total number of Dingkou in Chongzhou is about to approach 500,000. Hundreds of thousands of floating people in the Huaidong region live in poverty, renting small plots of land or simply begging and stealing for a living.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Huaidong region has a large number of people and little land, and the population resources are surplus and surplus rather than insufficient.

If Lin Jian moved the prisoners of war to Huaidong while moving the exiles in the Huaidong region to Danluo Island and Dongzhou for resettlement, he would look down on the IQ of Li Jian, Chi Guan, Saga Laiyuan and others too much.

Since the surplus population was already a burden to the Huaidong region, instead of sending 7,000 prisoners of war back to Huaidong, it was better to generously send them to the Danluo, Dongzhou, and Saga families for resettlement; It is also to tell future generations: as long as you follow Huaidong, there is always a benefit.
