Jiangjie City.

Since Wu Nian occupied the city, the city gates have never been officially opened. The city is full of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears. Most of the people are hiding in their homes and dare not go out.

The city was filled with a sense of murderousness, as if it was in a wartime state.

The temporary Fu Han General's Mansion was the original government office.

Soldiers at all levels protect the government office tightly.

The guards all had solemn faces and tense bodies, as if assassins might appear at any moment.

Down the corridor, Zhang Zhen walked forward with two cups of tea. After entering the study, he bent down and placed the teacups on the table beside Wang Gui and Wu Nian respectively. Then he bent over to Wu Nian and took the tea cups.

The empty plates are gone.

Wu Nian and Wang Gui picked up the teacups, took a small sip and then put them down.

Wang Gui said: "General, according to intelligence, the Goguryeo naval forces stationed in Jiangjie Prefecture and Uiju Prefecture burned down their camps and took boats to gather in the north."

"As expected. Now the war situation has changed. If the Goguryeo navy doesn't gather together, we will eat them one by one."

Wu Nian said calmly.

During this period, the armies of Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Zhao Yanting successively controlled the entire Jiangjie Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture, but only within the city.

In vast rural areas, there is currently a power vacuum.

Many people fled southward. Wu Nian had no way to stop them. The two prefectures were located in plains, and it would take a huge force to hold the population back from escaping.

Besides, if troops are sent to search and suppress, it will be different from Wu Nian’s previous slogans.

Although the army arrived in the enemy's country, it was as if it were in its own country.

The army does not invade the people.

Now he closes the gate of Jiangjie City and does not let anyone in or out. This is also the reason.

He wanted to spend some time to win over the local wealthy families and squires. He wanted to make the wealthy families and squires feel his goodwill and enhance their confidence in him.

Wu Nian will definitely win this war.

If you follow Wu Nian, you will get rich rewards.

As for ordinary people, Wu Nian believes that the people of Goguryeo do not have the same high degree of identification with Yanhan as the Han people in Liaodong do now.

As long as he maintains the current military discipline, most people will not choose to escape.

The current work is mainly to consolidate the Jiangjie Prefecture and Uiju Prefecture that have been captured. Further military operations will require follow-up troops.

Wu Nian planned to invest seven infantry captains.

After the two talked for a while, Zhang Zhen walked in from the outside. He bowed and saluted Wu Nian and said, "General, Mr. Lu is here."

"Please."

Wu Nian's eyes lit up, he raised his hand and said.

"Yes." Zhang Zhen responded, turned around and went down.

"General, I'll take my leave first." Wang Gui stood up, bowed and saluted.

"Yeah." Wu Nian nodded.

Wang Gui turned around and left the main room, and happened to face Lu Sheng, the former prefect of Guangchuan, and others. Both sides bowed their hands.

After Lu Sheng led everyone in, he saluted Wu Nian and said, "General."

"Sit down." Wu Nian nodded and invited everyone to sit down. He then asked Zhang Zhen to remove the original tea cup and make new tea.

Wu Nian looked up at Lu Sheng and others and nodded with satisfaction. Before this, he had sufficient preparations.

After the Battle of Guangyang, Li Jinzhu's position was unstable and he purged a large number of political opponents in the country. Some of them fled to Liaodong.

Wu Nian asked Lu Sheng to organize these people, and secretly selected a group of Han officials to form a temporary authority.

It’s called [Fuxing Han General Goguryeo Beppu].

Before the war started, Lu Sheng had been the prefect of Guangchuan. After the war started, Lu Sheng immediately resigned and came to Goguryeo.

Wu Nian had a secret conversation with Lu Sheng. This authority is now called [General Fu Han, Goguryeo Beppu], but in fact it is called [Governor Youyan].

on the kernel.

Wu Nian had already regarded Goguryeo as his treasure, and appointed Governor Youyan, who had jurisdiction over Lelang Prefecture, Lintun Prefecture, Zhenfan Prefecture, and Xuantu Prefecture.

But on the surface, Wu Nian has not made a public statement yet.

After all, he wanted to destroy Goguryeo.

Or just take revenge, oust Li Jinzhu from power, and support another King of Goguryeo.

This can, to a certain extent, eliminate the resistance of the Goguryeo people.

after all.

Goguryeo has existed for many years.

In the eyes of many people, destroying Goguryeo would require a high price. It would be simpler and easier than supporting the pro-Liaodong King of Goguryeo.

If Goguryeo is destroyed, it will be a disaster for the country.

If it were to support the pro-Liaodong King of Goguryeo, it would be a power struggle.

The nature is completely different.

"It's an emergency, so I'll just tell you."

"I have controlled all the cities and recruited a group of former Goguryeo officials who are willing to work with me. You unite these officials to stabilize the big families and gentry, and extend your hands to the countryside."

"Let Jiangjie Prefecture and Uiju Prefecture resume production as soon as possible."

Wu Nian did not exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Lu Sheng and others learned about the current situation on the way and discussed it privately.

The others looked at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng raised his hand and reported to Wu Nian: "General, we think that we want to stabilize the rich family simply by relying on kindness, but country squires cannot do that."

"It requires a combination of grace and power."

"Oh. How can you show kindness and power at the same time?" Wu Nian became interested and raised his head and asked.

"First of all, the squires and the rich families are the foundation of Goguryeo. They read the books of the sages, and many of them are loyal to the Jin Dynasty. Forcing them to stay will not do any good. On the contrary, it will cause unnecessary trouble when we defend the city.

."

Lu Sheng raised his head and showed a meaningful expression to Wu Nian.

Wu Nian immediately thought of the heroes who had helped him a lot when he was conquering cities and territories. For example, Cheng Yulian, the prefect of Guangyang.

Lu Sheng saw that Wu Nian had understood, so he continued: "General, on the one hand, he was gentle with them, and on the other hand, he allowed the diehard loyalists of the Jin Dynasty to leave with their families and a small amount of gold and silver."

"But I have to leave behind domestic slaves and huge assets."

"Of course there are the big families, the huge lands controlled by the gentry."

"If they escape to the south, they won't have much effect."

"We turned the domestic slaves they left behind into civilians. Our huge assets were directly confiscated. The land was distributed to former Goguryeo officials who were willing to work with us to win people's hearts."

"To put it simply, it means recruiting a group of people and beating a group of people."

"Follow us and you will keep your property and land. You will also get profits from it. If you don't follow us, you will have nothing."

After hearing this, Wu Nian pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay."

Seeing that his opinion was adopted, Lu Sheng was very encouraged and continued: "General, in the last battle of Guangyang Mansion, we captured 20,000 to 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers."

"Now these soldiers are learning Chinese and have achieved great results."

"As for Goguryeo, they have always believed that these soldiers had died in the battle. We selected some of the prisoners from Uiju Prefecture and Ganggye Prefecture to return."

"Those people who thought their sons and husbands died in Liaodong will be happy and their recognition of us will be enhanced."

Upon hearing this, Wu Nian agreed happily and said, "Okay."

At first, I arranged for these Goguryeo captives to be under military management and learn Chu's Mandarin and writing. Later, they faced financial difficulties and withstood the pressure.

Feed these people.

Now comes the end of all hardships. These people are proficient in Goguryeo and Chinese. Coupled with subsequent policies and the Goguryeo elite, they are basically proficient in Chinese and Goguryeo.

Slowly eliminate the original writing and language of Goguryeo.

Of course, these follow-up policies cannot be implemented until the entire territory of Goguryeo is conquered.
