Chapter 392 Boiling a Frog in Warm Water (Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

...

After the Gan army captured Liaoning Road (Li Cun changed the name of Jinuo Dongdong Road), the Ministry of Industry, Communications, and Railways of the Dagan Dynasty all dispatched to follow Li Cun's order to build Dalian Port in the shortest possible time. Become a big port, and at the same time build a railway from the Liaoxi Corridor to connect all major cities on the Dagan Dynasty and Liaoning Road, including Dalian Port.

To this end, the Dagan Dynasty recruited 300 million civilians for a fee, and allocated 2000 million yuan in special infrastructure funds in the first phase.

However, there is no need to worry about the finances of the Dagan Dynasty, because as soon as Liaoning Road was captured, officials from the Household Department and the Ministry of Punishment of the Dagan Dynasty went to various places on Liaoning Road to carry out public trials and ransacked homes under the order of Li Cun. All the gentry and officials of the Jin Dynasty were within the scope of public trials and house raids.

Preliminary estimates, it is not necessary to conduct a public trial and ransack the homes of all the gentry and noble officials of the Jin Kingdom on Liaoning Road, but to confiscate the wealth of the Jurchens who robbed everywhere (the Jurchens do not need a public trial, they directly ransacked their homes, all the men were handed over to the Khitan people to take care of them, and the women Collected by the household department of the Dagan Dynasty and used to reward meritorious soldiers), it is not only enough for the entire military expenditure of the Dagan Dynasty (including the cost of compensation for those killed in battle), the entire cost of building ports and railways, but also A lot of the surplus went to the treasury.

If the gentry and noble officials of the Jin Dynasty on Liaoning Road were to be publicly tried and their homes were ransacked, then the Daqian Dynasty would almost have an extra year of financial revenue.

This is also normal. After all, the accumulation of the Daliao Empire for more than 200 years has fallen into the hands of the rich and noble officials of the Kingdom of Jin. It was amazing.

Regarding this, Li Cun couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: "Who said that once the cannon is fired, the gold is ten thousand taels? It's just a case of losing. If you win, especially this kind of war that quickly defeats the opponent, you can also make a fortune. .”

In terms of managing Liaoning Road, most of the officials Li Cun sent were Han officials from the former Liao Kingdom.

For example, the official in charge of Liaoning Road is the former No. [-] Scholar of the Renchen Division in the second year of Tianqing, Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Dynasty. As the appeasement envoy of Liaoning Road, let him be in charge of all government affairs of Liaoning Road.

Before Han Fang went north, Li Cun specifically explained to Han Fang and other local officials who were about to go north to take over the areas that were originally controlled by the Liao State, then by the Jin State, and now to be controlled by the Daqian Dynasty.

It is absolutely impossible to govern these areas in the way of the Liao and Jin Dynasties, otherwise these areas will never be able to fully integrate into the Daqian Dynasty.

However, Li Cun must also take into account the particularity and complexity of these areas that have been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it can even be said that they have never really belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Therefore, after thinking about it and discussing it with all the governors, Li Cun decided to use his successful experience in the Yanyun area to manage Liaoning Road and other areas that belong to the Kingdom of Jin that will be recovered in the future.

That is to say, first carry out the "North and South Bicameral System" in Yanyun, a special and complex area, for ten years, and then completely implement the system of the Dagan Dynasty in these areas that have been fully transitioned.

Speaking of this, I have to say that the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji who created the "North and South Two Chambers System" is really a genius and a talented and generous monarch.

At the beginning, Yelu Abaoji basically completed the unification of the grassland after the tribal wars, but Yelu Abaoji faced a very difficult problem in the unified grassland.

That is, two completely different groups of grassland nomads and Central Plains farming Han appeared in the same area.

How to govern has become the most troublesome thing for Yelu Abaoji.

The nomads want to herd cattle and sheep, and the Han people want to grow crops, and the two sides often have disputes because of the different production methods.

Under the advice of Han Yanhui and Empress Shulu, Yelu Abaoji finally took the measure of living separately from the grassland nomads and the farming Han people in the Central Plains.

The north is lived by grassland nomads, and the basic necessities of life are still grazing;
The south is the area where the Han people lived in the Central Plains. The customs and customs of the Han people are still respected. The architectural format, place names and surnames are all formulated by the Han people themselves.

At the same time, the northern courtyard and the southern courtyard were governed by Khitan people and Han people or people who had a deep understanding of Han culture.

The two sides live separately and only have trade contacts, exchanging daily necessities and production materials, but not interfering with each other.

This "North and South bicameral system" is second to none in human history.

It can be seen that although the Liao Dynasty was a dynasty established by ethnic minorities, it had a very enlightened regime and played a huge role in the development of Chinese civilization. for reference.

After Li Cun conquered the Yanyun area, Liu Yanzong, Shi Li'ai, Han Fang and others suggested that Li Cun use the "North and South Bicameral System" to manage the Yanyun area.

However, Li Cun considered that if he always adopts the "North and South Bicameral System" of the Liao Kingdom to manage the Yanyun area, then the Yanyun area will never be able to truly merge into the Dagan Dynasty, and it will always be a hidden danger of the Dagan Dynasty .

Ever since, Li Cun just used the "North and South bicameral system" to make the transition.

That is to say, while Li Cun used the "North and South Bicameral System" to govern the Yanyun area, he deliberately decreed that this system would only be implemented in the Dagan Dynasty for ten years. After ten years, the Dagan Dynasty would abolish the "North and South Bicameral System" in the Yanyun area. , The system of the Dagan Dynasty was fully implemented.

In this way, Li Cun gave enough time for people of other ethnic groups in the Yanyun area to slowly adapt to the system of the Dagan Dynasty.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Cun to wait foolishly for people of other ethnic groups in the Yanyun area to gradually adapt to the system of the Dagan Dynasty.

Li Cun also forcibly promulgated the "Liufa Order", "Han Ming Order", "Han Fu Order", "Chinese Character Order", "Five-Year Compulsory Education" and other laws to promote the Sinicization of other ethnic groups in the Yanyun area.

In addition, Li Cun also issued a decree that people of other ethnic groups could join the Han nationality.

——There are prerequisites for this. First of all, people of other ethnic groups must have Chinese names, be able to speak Chinese, and know no less than [-] Chinese characters.

In other words, Li Cun directly turned the elites of other ethnic groups into Han Chinese.

Now ten years have passed, people of other ethnic groups in the Yanyun area have been highly Sinicized, and have gradually adapted to the system of the Daqian Dynasty.

Last year, Li Cun decreed to completely change the "North and South Bicameral System" in the Yanyun area into the system of the Dagan Dynasty. There was no resistance. The new generation of "Hu people" who were educated and raised by the Dagan Dynasty especially supported this system. kind of change.

——In their view, this is the complete cancellation of "discrimination" against them.

For the newly recovered Liaoning Road, many of the local officials selected by Li Cun were officials who had served as officials in the Yanyun area. They were very familiar with Li Cun's successful experience in governing the Yanyun area.

Therefore, after Han Fang and others took over Liaoning Road, they immediately implemented this system.

Han Fang and many other people were originally important ministers of the Liao Kingdom, and had a high prestige on the Liaoning Road that originally belonged to the Liao Kingdom.

What's more, the Khitan people also "take advantage of the unpreparedness of the people of the Daqian Dynasty" to wipe out all the Jurchens, the original rulers of the Liaoning Road.

For a while, even though the people on Liaoning Road could not accept that the Daqian Dynasty forcibly promulgated the "Liu Fa Order", "Han Ming Order", "Han Fu Order", "Chinese Character Order", and "Five-Year Compulsory Education" and other laws and regulations, they did not accept it. Dare to fight.

Some people may raise an argument, but what if there is really disobedience?
Sorry, then he is really looking for death.

At this time, Li Cun, who is bound to win the Northeast, will definitely not be soft on these unsightly people.

Furthermore, just looking at Li Cun conniving the Khitan people to kill chickens and monkeys, as long as they are not people with extremely problematic brains, they would definitely not dare to stab them at this time.

And as long as they get into the car with the idea of ​​"begging for perfection first", Li Cun, who boils the frog in warm water, will definitely turn their "begging for perfection" into adaptation, and finally fully integrate into the Daqian Dynasty.

Of course, in order to completely annex the territory of Liaoning Road, the Dagan court still has to find a way to move more Han people to Liaoning Road.

For this reason, the Dagan Dynasty introduced many preferential immigration policies, such as policies for land, women, and tax exemptions, etc...

In addition, the Dagan Dynasty recruited 300 million civilians from the south to build railways and docks on Liaoning Road. Li Cun allowed Han Fang and other local officials on Liaoning Road to use all non-illegal methods to keep them on Liaoning Road.

All in all, as soon as the Dagan Dynasty captured the Liaoning Road, they tried their best to digest this piece of territory that the Dagan Dynasty had swallowed and would never spit it out again, making it an inseparable part of the Dagan Dynasty as soon as possible...

……

The 30 troops under Jin Wushu were finally deployed by the Jin Dynasty court in Xianping Mansion between Liaoning Road and Jinshangjing.

After Wan Yanchang led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians from Jin Dongdong to Jin Nanjing, he immediately sent his eldest son Wan Yanwo to take him back to Shangjing to ask for an audience, and wanted to report his defeat.

However, since the court of the Kingdom of Jin was in turmoil at the time, it simply didn't care to investigate Wanyan Chang's loss of Liaoning Road.

The point is, at this critical moment, the top management of the Jin Kingdom did not dare to hold the heavily armed Wan Yanchang, otherwise, if Wan Yanchang defected to the enemy, it would be a devastating blow to the Jin Kingdom.

Finally, under the mediation of Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyanquan ordered Wanyanchang to still be stationed in Jinnanjing to guard against Han Shizhong's troops and other cadres who went north from Gubeikou and Songtingguan.

In order to resist the attack of the Gan army, the high-level officials of Jin State established the Dasheng Mansion, appointed more than 100 staff officers, staff officers, writing machines, official affairs, management of writing preparations, control, command preparations, etc., and selected and appointed three provinces. Dozens of officials from the Ministry and Household House.

Dasheng Mansion, as a temporary supreme military command organization to resist the attack of the Gan army, in a short period of time, it was in Wanyan Zonggu (the second son of Wanyan Wu Qimai, the younger brother of Wanyan Zongpan) and Wanyan Zongmin (Wanyan Zongmin). Under the leadership of Aguda's No.12 sons), it was quickly formed and began to operate at high speed.

Wanyan Zongmin suggested that the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Jin should climb the imperial tower and inspect the warriors of the Great Jin to inspire the army.

Wanyan Zongqian discussed with Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zongjun and said: "The morale can be boosted, but not discouraged. I will accompany Your Majesty through this journey."

Now that he has decided to stick to the capital, he must count on these big gold warriors to play.

Moreover, these big gold warriors in Shangjing are all under the command of Wanyan Zongpan, and Wanyan Zongpan can also take this opportunity to show Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Quan and his son the strength he has mastered.

So Wanyan Zongpan agreed.

Therefore, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Zonggu, Wanyan Zongmin and others accompanied Wanyan Quan to the tower.

At this time, all officials and soldiers stood neatly in front of the gate tower, waiting for inspection.

According to the speech prepared by Wanyan Zongqian (actually ghostwritten by Yuwen Huang Zhong), Wanyan Quan gave an extremely encouraging speech, saying that he would not leave Shangjing even if he died, and vowed to stick to Shangjing with all the warriors .

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials of the Kingdom of Jin and a group of warriors fell down and knelt down, shouting long live, and their voices shook the heavens and the earth.

Wan Yanquan inspected for a while by leaning on the railing on the tower, then went downstairs and rode to the middle of the team, condolences to the Dajin warriors, and made an approachable gesture.

At this time, Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zongjun had already noticed the sinister intention of Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Quan and his son to seize the military power from Wanyan Zongpan.

Regarding this, Wanyan Zongpan curled his lips in disdain, and he thought to himself: "Among these people, most of them are from the tribes and slaves of my Taizong lineage, how can your father and son win them over?"

After inspecting the warriors guarding Shangjing, Wanyan Quan ordered Yuwen Huangzhong to draft an announcement immediately under Wanyan Zongqian's suggestion, briefly describing the Yumeng of the Dagan Dynasty, which wanted to endanger our Dajin Society. The meaning of encouragement.

Yuwen Huangzhong's statement was written quickly, very concise, only dozens of sentences.

But Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Quan and his son were very satisfied.

At Wanyan Zongqian's suggestion, Wanyan Quan ordered the Hemen officials to read it to the officials and Dajin warriors.

Every time the gatekeeper read a sentence, the Dajin warriors replied loudly: "No!"

The majesty of the scene and the mighty momentum made all the officials present and the soldiers of the Sixth Army tearfully moved.

Only then did Wanyan Zongpan realize that most of the Jinren wanted to fight the Daqian Dynasty, or it could be said that they wanted to defend their home and country, and did not want to return to their bitterly cold hometown.

It was only at this time that Wanyan Zongpan made up his mind to give up going out of the city, determined to stick to the capital, and fight to the death with the Daqian Dynasty.

Then, Wanyan Zongpan imitated the conscription methods of Song and Liao, and recruited another [-] troops, and made his younger brothers Wanyan Wusai, Wanyan Wozhe, and Wanyan Wu Gu the commanders.

In this way, in Shangjing alone, the Kingdom of Jin has 30 troops, and this is not counting the people who can fight on horseback.

It can be said that the Kingdom of Jin is already ready for a battle, or even a decisive battle, with the Daqian Dynasty, just waiting for the Qianjun to fight over.

Unexpectedly, after occupying Liaoning Road, the Gan army did not continue to go north, but went east again, not to mention completely occupying Dongdong Road, and took advantage of the opportunity to attack Helan Road.

The Dagan Dynasty's style of play made all the high-level officials in the Kingdom of Jin wonder. They really couldn't figure it out. What is the Dagan Dynasty going to do?Could it be that they wanted to cut off Jin Guo's reinforcements from Korea?

But Goryeo's most capable Western Army has already come to the Kingdom of Jin. The Dagan Dynasty is still blocking the direction of Goryeo. What's the point?
A group of high-level leaders in the Jin Kingdom discussed and discussed, and finally came to the conclusion that the Dagan Dynasty might be worried that the Jin Kingdom would also transfer Goryeo's "Central Army" to the Jin Kingdom to help in the war.

In addition, the high-level officials in the Kingdom of Jin really couldn't figure out what would be the point of going east instead of going north.
