Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 557
"Army attack!"

Yan Xu ordered all the troops to disembark and attack the main force of Goguryeo who had already left the city.

Among them, the imperial guards, noble soldiers, and guild mercenaries, as the elite, directly attacked the loose army of the Goguryeo people, while other servants directly attacked the city and controlled the city.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard are not only equipped with cavalry, but also hold [Length], which can easily penetrate the enemy's armor, even heavy armor.

This kind of "rib lance" is an enhanced version of the horse lance. It is the same length as the horse lance, but the spear head is hexagonal.

At the same time, a hand guard is added to the handle of the gun body, making this lance look like a very long prismatic sword.

Undoubtedly, the cost of this "rib" is very expensive, and it consumes a lot of physical strength. Only the real elite can use it flexibly.

Not only that, Yan Guo's armor and chain mail have also developed to the extreme. Facing the Goguryeo people, it is a dimensionality reduction blow.

The charge of a thousand mounted cavalry on the plain was terrifying, and tens of thousands of Goguryeos were quickly routed.

It is difficult for their long spears to penetrate into the armor of the Imperial Guards of the Yan Kingdom, but the spears of the Imperial Guards of the Yan Kingdom can penetrate their inferior armor and even their shields.

However, to deal with these Goguryeo people without armored armor, the soldiers of Yan State still prefer to use arc knives, which are simple, efficient and labor-saving.

"Yan Guo, hateful!"

The king of Goguryeo, Gao Yang, could only curse the country of Yan, fled Woju City with the remnants of the defeated generals, and fled westward all the way.

He defeated other competitors in the civil war and became the king of Goguryeo. He suffered a devastating blow from the Yan State just after he took the throne.

After Woju City was occupied by Yan State, Gao Yang chose to move his capital to the mountains in the west. Although it is close to the Wuji people, the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk, which is actually safer than the seaside.

After occupying Woju City, Yan Xu counted the spoils and losses.

There are still a lot of losses in various materials, especially the consumption of gunpowder. In person, a total of 3258 people were lost, including 2608 Goguryeo puppet troops, 132 Wei soldiers, 124 Jin soldiers, and 394 Liang soldiers.

The losses of Praetorians, noble soldiers, and guild soldiers are zero.

More than 1000 Goguryeo troops were annihilated, and more than 1 Goguryeo troops fled. This shows that this is a classic defeat battle.

More than 4 people in Goguryeo were captured, including more than 1 young adults, more than 1 pregnant women, and more than 1 elderly and children.

Although the casualties and consumption of the Yan State were greater, the Yan State obviously did not regard the puppet army as a human being, so when the actual casualties were counted, the casualties of the puppet army were not counted. Casualties are not counted.

Thus, a very strange phenomenon appeared in the history books.

The official historian of the Yan army's battle with the army recorded in the history books that in this battle, the Yan State suffered zero losses and wiped out more than 1 Goguryeo people.

He lost zero people, but wiped out tens of thousands of opponents. What a terrifying record.

On my side, I only counted the casualties of the elite, while on the Goguryeo side, the rout was also recorded as annihilation.

The captive Goguryeos will be sold directly to plantations, allowing them to go to Hurricane Island (New Guinea Island) to open up wasteland.

At the same time, Yan Xu wrote a letter, requesting that 1 immigrants from Liaodong should live in Woju City, and turn this newly occupied area into the direct control of Yan State.

In order to encourage the people of Liaodong to immigrate to Woju City, Yan State gave many preferential policies. For example, if a bachelor without a wife is willing to immigrate to Woju City to open up wasteland, the government will send a Goguryeo girl on the spot.

In addition to opening up wasteland, the city wall must be repaired to prevent the Goguryeo people from counterattacking.

At present, Yan State has a total population of 200 million, but most of them are land reclamation slaves of plantations, who will die in land reclamation at any time.

【Country name: Yan

Government: Aristocratic parliamentary system

Culture: Huaxia

Thought: all schools of thought

Head of State: Yan Ji

Generation of head of state: candidate appointed by the monarch + voted by the aristocratic council
History: 352 years

National Capital: New Capital Yutu City, Old Capital Peach Blossom City, Southern Capital Xingfan City
Population: 152 nobles, 74 guild representatives, 425583 commoners, 1852369 slaves

Education: 376 elementary schools and 6 schools

Marriage: Monogamous
Literacy rate: 2%]

200 years ago, the literacy rate of Yan State was only 1%, but now it has increased to 2%. It can be seen that the cultural level of Yan State is still improving, but the speed of improvement in this era is really slow.

This is mainly due to the construction of a large number of elementary schools, which have cultivated more and more wealthy civilians who know how to read and write.

In the short history of more than 300 years, Yan State has experienced countless internal strife and foreign enemies. This is because Yan State is located in Liaodong, which is relatively safe.

It can be seen from this that it is really difficult for a dynasty to persist for more than 300 years. During the more than 300 years of the Yan Kingdom, the country almost perished several times.

When Yan Xu was busy dealing with the immigration issue and the land reclamation and reconstruction of Woju City, the time had come to the spring of the fourth year of Yan Kingdom 350. (564 years)
This year, another civil strife broke out in the Chen Kingdom. The reason was that Chen Qian, the emperor of the Chen Kingdom, wanted to actually control the Minyue area, so he decided to check the population of the wealthy families in the Minyue area, and put the hidden population of the wealthy families into the household registration tax.

This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the rich families of Minyue, so they raised their troops to rebel, separated themselves in Minyue, and asked Yan for help, asked to join Yan, wanted to become a citizen of Yan, and begged Yan to occupy their hometown.

Speaking of these Minyue wealthy families, most of them are descendants of powerful Han people who migrated there during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, some tyrants were moved to the newly occupied Minyue area and asked them to go there to open up wasteland for the empire. (Old pioneers)

Then, these tyrants who were migrated to the Minyue area captured the local Minyue aborigines as slaves to open up wasteland, and at the same time intermarried and merged with the Minyue aborigines, and gradually formed a powerful family with its own armed forces. Don't listen to the tune.

They can claim their vassals to the imperial court, be their loyal ministers, and pay tribute to the imperial court, but if the imperial court wants to check their population, they dare to directly rebel!

We should not be confused by historical maps. In the territory of the past dynasties, there are actually large areas of wasteland, where there are many "highly autonomous" indigenous tribes, chieftains, wealthy families, etc.

They are barely regarded as the subjects of the empire on weekdays, but once the empire declines, they are the princes of one side.

Take Chen State as an example. In Lingnan and Minyue areas of Chen State, there are many indigenous tribes. They are subjects of Chen State in name, but they never pay taxes, do not obey corvee and military service, and occasionally rebel , but their hometown was drawn into the territory of Chen Guo.

Just like when Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty drew the Liaodong Kingdom of Yan into the territory of the Jin Dynasty, because the family of the King of Yan proclaimed their vassals to the Jin Dynasty, they were subjects of the Jin Dynasty in name, so the territory of the Kingdom of Yan was the territory of the Jin Dynasty , there is nothing wrong with it, so naturally the territory of King Yan's family was drawn into the Jin Dynasty.

But in fact, apart from being a subject of the Jin Dynasty in name, the Yan Kingdom is not a bird of the Jin Dynasty at all. However, the Liaodong territory of the Yan State was still drawn into the territory of the Jin Dynasty.

What the imperial court can control on the map is actually only the counties and cities. As for the mountains and forests outside the cities, they can already be regarded as "land outside the culture" and "wild land".
