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

Chapter 562

Yan Guo 360 Three Years Summer (573 Years)
Yan Junji was over 70 years old, and he was about to die in sight.

Yan Xu, who is already 40 years old, sent troops to conquer Goguryeo again in order to ensure that he can get the approval votes of the vast majority of nobles.

This time it is still attacking from the sea, and the goal is Goguryeo's narrow coastal plain east of the "Woju Mountains".

There are many indigenous tribes living here. They were forced to surrender to Goguryeo and fought for Goguryeo.

Goguryeo adopted self-government over the local area, as long as the local aborigines obeyed Goguryeo's conscripts and dispatched warriors to fight with the Goguryeo nobles.

Therefore, Yan Xu's order to each officer is to capture all the population of these indigenous tribes, and build a military castle at a certain distance, and around the military castle, immigrate some Liaodong Yan people to live and form a self-sufficient military small town.

The State of Wei has six towns, and the State of Yan can naturally follow suit. To the east of the Woju Mountains, six military towns have been established. Each small town has [-] immigrants. These immigrants can be permanently exempted from taxes. They are farmers on weekdays. Orion, in wartime, has to resist the invasion of Goguryeo.

These places are too barren to reclaim too much arable land. The main source of food for local immigrants is the fruit forests on the mountains and hunting in the mountain forests.

Therefore, the immigrants here have no income, and it is unrealistic to ask them to pay taxes. Instead, it will easily lead to rebellion in the six towns. The extra children who can't support them can be sold to the government as slaves to open up wasteland.

The carrying capacity of the land here is limited. It is the limit for each small town to live in [-] immigrants. If there are more, they will not be able to support them. Therefore, the extra children they give birth to can only be sold to the government. The government is selling these After the children were brought up, they were sent directly to the plantation to open up wasteland.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, because babies also had to pay taxes, the people of the Han Dynasty liked to kill baby girls and extra baby boys, and only kept the healthiest baby boy to pass on to the next generation, so that they could pay less tax.

In the face of real interests, father's kindness, son's filial piety and benevolence and morality have become jokes. In order to pay less taxes, the people of the Central Plains have come up with various methods, and killing their own children is just one of them.

But in the country of Yan, the people of the country of Yan seldom kill their babies. One is because in the country of Yan, minors do not need to pay taxes, and the other is because in the country of Yan, the government of the country of Yan will help Raise them, and when they grow up, send their children to the plantation to open up wasteland.

Although it is to be a slave to open up wasteland, at least it is much better than being killed by parents right after birth.

The common people give birth to their children and hand them over to the government, and the government gives some rewards to the common people, and then the [Department of Wasteland Reclamation]-[Nurture Department] will raise them up, and then send them directly to the plantations to open up wasteland.

Such an industrial chain was formed a long time ago. After all, not all the people of Yan State can afford to raise their own children. The extra children must either be killed directly like the Central Plains, or handed over to the government of Yan State, so that parents can With a little reward, the child can be brought up. It is nothing more than being a wasteland slave, at least it is much better than being a corpse.

Also because of this reason, the [family concept] of Yan State is far less profound than that of Central Plains, and it does not have such strong family patriarchy as Central Plains.

After all, people in the Central Plains are raised by their parents, so they naturally have to listen to their parents, so patriarchy is so strong.

But many Yan people, who have never met their parents in their entire lives, live in nursing homes since they were young, started training in wasteland reclamation knowledge since they were young, and immediately went overseas to reclaim wasteland as soon as they grew up, expecting them to be obedient to their parents who have never met. Even gratitude, it is a bit of a fantasy to be true.

Immigrants from the six towns planted some miscellaneous grains at the door of their homes, and then went hunting in the mountains and forests on weekdays. The furs obtained from hunting would wait for the merchant ships from the guild to come to buy them, or they could sell them to the government, but the bids from the government were generally higher than those from the guild. Low.

Yan Xu also has a more ambitious idea, that is to cultivate the six towns as a source of soldiers for the country of Yan. The people of the country of Yan here live by hunting every day, and they are very hard every day. They are very hardworking and very suitable to become soldiers in the army. .

In the future, no matter if it is the imperial guards, noble private soldiers, or guild mercenaries, they will scramble to recruit soldiers in the six towns.

"Such a model of six towns should be vigorously promoted. One day, the entire Northeast region will be the military town of our country of Yan!"

A few months later, Yan Xu looked at the people who were working hard in the military town, and his heart was full of bright future.

It's not that the Yan Kingdom doesn't want to conquer the Northeast, but that the Northeast is full of forests, swamps and mountains, and it's very difficult to conquer. It's unrealistic to swallow it all at once, so it can only be eaten away step by step with this model.

Some settlements and military towns are built every ten years. After hundreds of years, the entire Northeast China will be the settlements and military towns of Yan State.

This is a century-old national policy, and it will take three to four hundred years to complete, not decades.

Compared with the Central Plains's canonization of indigenous leaders, who let the indigenous leaders go to the imperial capital to pay tribute every year, and then claim that this land belongs to the ruling model of the Central Plains Dynasty, Yan State wants to actually control the Northeast.

It’s just a canonization of the indigenous leaders and let them pay tribute. This kind of conquest of the Central Plains is not Yan Xu’s style. He wants to immigrate, immigrate, re-immigrate, open up wasteland and open up wasteland, and actually control this large area under the control of the empire. .

To the east of the Woju Mountains, this area that is difficult to cultivate, Yan Xu wants to control it.

"Who said that if you can't cultivate land, it's not good land?"

"The hills can be planted with fruit trees, the mountains can be hunted, the grasslands can be grazed, and the deserted islands can be used to build warehouses and laboratories."

"In our country of Yan, there is no such thing as a weak place, only a place that is reluctant to spend money on development!"

"When the rulers of the Central Plains were dreaming of life and death, we were opening up wasteland. When the ruling class of the Central Plains was still intrigues, we were still opening up wasteland."

"There is no sudden rise, it is just the accumulation of hundreds of years."

While building military towns on the east side of the Woju Mountains, Fuyu and Wuji also launched the Northern Expedition, occupying the living space of Goguryeo from the north to the east, and building more villages and cities further north.

In order to encourage these two vassal states to actively go to the north, Yan State released part of the arms control to them, and sold them a large amount of advanced equipment and weapons cheaply, and Yan State only made a little money.

Especially the Wuji people (Jurchens), they are the loyal dogs of the country of Yan. After buying the advanced weapons and equipment of the country of Yan, they were very active when fighting the Goguryeo people. ", and the Fuyu people also went to the "Boduobu (Shuangcheng)" in the northern expedition.

These two tribes, both Northeast aboriginal tribes who surrendered to Goguryeo, are now conquered by Fuyu and Wuji.

The new capital of the Goguryeo people is a newly built small city "Gaoguryeo King City (Tonghe)" in the northeast of Anchegubu. It is deep inland and surrounded by forests and swamps, so there is no need to worry about Yan's attack.

-

When studying the rise of the Jin Kingdom, it is necessary to study the Wuji Kingdom, the predecessor of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. They were loyal to the Yan Kingdom, the predecessor of the Sun Never Set Empire, and they were the loyal dogs of the Sun Never Set Empire. A lot of efforts have been made in it, and thus it has been shared with many military technologies of the Empire on which the sun never sets.

Because of this, they have the strength to sweep the Central Plains hundreds of years later and become a strong enemy of our Song Dynasty.

I'm afraid the empire on which the sun never sets could never have imagined that a loyal dog that was his dog at the beginning would be able to dominate the situation hundreds of years later, and the butterflies hundreds of years ago would instigate and affect the world's major events hundreds of years later. ——"General History of the World Song Qin Hui"
