Chapter 384 Baekje Surrenders

Situ Changfeng was on the way, when he saw the Baekje officials kneeling in the middle of the road.

"Small country with few people, Fuyuzhang sees Shangguan. Now, under the order of King Yici of Baekje, I come here to beg for surrender. My father is suffering from a serious illness and will not travel far. Please forgive me." Fuyuzhang raised the surrender form above his head respectfully said loudly.

"It turns out to be the little prince of Baekje. Quickly call upon me, Situ Changfeng, the general of the Tang Dynasty to conquer the west. This is His Highness King Wu." Situ Changfeng had already received the report from the scouts. Of course he knew that they were here to surrender, so he jumped off the cow. Back, he helped Yu Zhang up with a smile.

"Flying tiger with jade face!" Hearing Situ Changfeng's words, Fu Yuzhang was so frightened that his body almost fell down.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the little prince to have heard this general's nickname." Situ Changfeng continued with his smile unchanged.

"Hey, hey, the general's prestige, prestige and fame! It's like thunder." Fu Yuzhang glanced at Situ Changfeng, seeing that he was not looking fierce, he was a little relieved, and smiled.

"Come on, little prince, this is His Highness King Wu of the Tang Dynasty." Situ Changfeng stretched out his hand and introduced.

"Fuyuzhang sees Wu... ah!" Fuyuzhang hurriedly followed Situ Changfeng's gestures to salute. Just as he bent down, he accidentally saw the huge head of the white jade rhinoceros in front of him. His expression changed drastically and he cried out in shock. .

His cry made Li Ke very depressed. He knew that he was frightened by the cow, but those who didn't know thought he was frightened by him. He didn't see the group of ministers in Baekje who were kneeling with their heads buried in their heads, and they were all secretly looking at him.

It's a pity that I can't get angry at this time, so I can only grit my teeth and squeeze out two words: "Excuse me!"

Situ Changfeng didn't expect that this guy was so timid, but he didn't bother to comfort him. He opened the surrender watch and saw that there was no problem. It belonged to unconditional surrender. He felt comfortable and said with satisfaction: "This begging for surrender is one thing, and it has to be done later." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge, I would have sent someone to ask for instructions, but the army has not received an order, so they still have to move forward."

"Yes, yes! General, please be merciful and don't hurt the people. My father has ordered food and grass to be prepared for the army to reward the army." Hearing Situ Changfeng's pressure, Fu Yuzhang thought he meant that there was no order to continue the attack. I was so frightened that my forehead was sweating coldly, I hurriedly persuaded him.

Looking at Fu Yuzhang and the others with a smile, Situ Changfeng seemed to be willing to kill them if he saw countless cheap labor.

"No, no, we soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will never kill innocent people indiscriminately." Situ Changfeng patted Fu Yuzhang on the shoulder and said righteously.

"Thank you General! Thank you King Wu." Fu Yuzhang quickly thanked him.

Of course, it is a lie to ask for instructions from Li Chengqian. From the beginning of the war, more than ten kinds of battle plans have been set up, and each detail has several different situations to deal with. Situ Changfeng convened more than 200 generals Think, discuss and make decisions.

Try to consider all aspects, let everyone cooperate and coordinate like a machine, and make a "fool-like operation", which can largely avoid the situation where one general is incompetent and exhausts the entire army.

Datang will refer to this case in future battles. The experienced veterans in the imperial court will form a powerful military command and cooperate with 99 think tank members.Make a battle plan.

When the front army gained a firm foothold, the general soldiers and young scribes following the Tang Dynasty began to land.

This group of thousands of scholars and 15 government soldiers are preparing for the long-term occupation of the peninsula.

As for Li Chengqian, after he received the news of Baekje's surrender, he would ask the court for assistance, whether it was personnel or money.

Of course, this is the most popular thing in the whole Tang Dynasty.

First of all, the major families and scholars, because they want to govern the place, they cannot do without literati; secondly, there are Dicheng officials, a large number of Dicheng officials with a little ability, and even small officials have been promoted, although these officials have done a little Far, but the power is not small.

The businessman is also very happy. In addition to foreign trade products, other countries need a lot of them. Although the profits are not high, they are not worried about sales. Whether it is grain cloth, ceramic crocks, or even bamboo baskets, they can be exchanged for money.

Merchants buy from everywhere, transport them to designated places in exchange for money, and then continue to buy from the people, or hire workers to make them, which in turn stimulates the local economy and increases the income of the people.

Of course, the happiest person can only be Li Shimin. Foreign countries have expanded their borders, and the country is prosperous. It turned out that countless scholars who could not be resettled have all left Chang'an. Occasionally, he would feel that there are not enough low-level officials. use.

People who don't like it are also driven out. Small officials are sent out, and they are promoted, and senior officials are patrolling the country.

Arranging several inspection teams, taking turns and cross-checking, not only stabilized the place, but also investigated and dealt with some corrupt officials, gaining a good reputation.

Moreover, it also counts some details of the country that have not been noticed before, such as mountains and rivers ores, fruit trees and vegetables, and local specialties, which will make preparations for the next step of national development.

A large part of these are Situ Changfeng's suggestions, and now the effect is remarkable. Li Shimin, who originally thought of Situ Changfeng and would not like to see him, is now much more pleasing to the eye. reward.

King Yici of Xiongjin City fell ill, and it was a bedridden serious illness. Situ Changfeng visited him once, and with his medical skills, he knew at a glance that the illness was terminal and hopeless.

King Uija also understood his own situation, and quickly made a decision to pass on the throne to Fuyuzhang, let him take full responsibility for everything in Baekje, and properly handle the surrender.

Another day later, Situ Changfeng took out an imperial decree, and named Fuyuzhang the King of Baekje in the Tang Dynasty, changed Baekje to Baekje Prefecture, divided it into two counties, Xiongjin and Suncheon, and Wu Wang Li Ke served as the governor of the state.

Although Li Ke was a state pastor, he knew that his position was a false one, so Li Ke did not interfere with Situ Changfeng's arrangements and went to appease the noble families of Baekje honestly.

Separated manpower, with the orders of the two generations of Baekje kings, Datang took over the Baekje territory in its entirety, and issued many policies for the safety of the people.

For example, all the people of Baekje enjoy the same treatment as the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they are generously exempted from taxes other than labor for three years.

As for labor, it is indispensable. After all, it is necessary to develop vigorously without manpower, but even so, all the people are already very happy.

You must know that Baekje's various labor taxes are not low, and the people can barely survive starvation.Not so, how can they compete with Goguryeo and Silla.

The most important thing is that Datang made it very clear that the laborers in Datang do not need to prepare food by themselves, and it will be provided by the imperial court.

From the perspective of Baekje people, this is not labor service, but work, except that there is no wages.
