"You will lead your troops in a few days and cross the sea to the east. How about it? Are you sure?"

The wind is clear and the clouds are light.

The emperor and his son were walking on the top of the mountain.

Zhang Chao looked at the prince who was a little taller than him and felt reluctant to let him leave the capital. But he also understood in his heart that Zhang Jing was still young now, and the seventeen-year-old prince still needed more training. Just staying in the Eastern Palace, even if he was surrounded by famous scholars and generals around him, it was not enough.

How can you see a rainbow without experiencing storms?

Fortunately, Zhang Jing had two years of experience as a local lord and performed very well. In Liuqiu, he conquered the Shanyi people with troops and vigorously developed industry and commerce. Liuqiu's development was very stable and his performance was remarkable.

This time, Zhang Jing was asked to preside over the Eastern Expedition to North Korea, not only to gild the young prince, but also to give him more experience.

"You are the commander and the prince, but you should listen to the advice of the general below. I know that you are smart, but you should pay more attention to the methods and methods of doing things. Speaking of which, Cheng Qian is actually smarter than you, and his experience is far better than you, but sometimes he is still a little too impatient, you should take it as a warning."

Zhang Chao did not think there would be any technical problems when the 100,000 Chinese troops went to fight against the Three Kingdoms of the East China Sea.

"Remember, don't be arrogant!"

Now the Chinese army has an extreme confidence and looks down on other armies. In the past, it was said that one Han would reach the Five Barbarians, but now it is even more like one Hua to reach the Baiyi.

This kind of arrogance is actually not a good thing. Arrogance will become conceited and then underestimate the enemy.

Although the Chinese army's concepts of equipment, training, and even combat are far superior to ordinary barbarians, war is not just that simple.

The powerful Roman legion will also be ambushed and defeated by the barbarians.

"Remember one sentence: Lion fights rabbits and use all your strength. Don't be arrogant and underestimate the enemy. You must also listen to other people's opinions. Whether it is right or wrong, good or bad, you should listen carefully."

"Also, you are still young, don't show off. Just sit in the command of the central army, don't easily break and rush to the front line. Everyone has their own position. Those who are marshals cannot charge like a soldier."

The autumn wind blows through the feet of clothes, bringing coolness.

"After the time comes, there will be red leaves all over the mountain."

The leaves fall yellow and fall, and after a winter is silent, new buds will sprout in the coming year, and the mountains will be green.

"Have you ever thought about what to do after conquering the peninsula?"

It is not difficult to occupy southern Korea militarily, but how to establish a stable rule is the most difficult. Historically, the Tang Dynasty also conquered Baekje and Goguryeo and established the Governor's Office, but it has never been effectively managed.

As a result, the Goguryeo rebelled continuously, and the Baekje people also raised their troops and brought the Japanese to help.

The Tang army was busy dealing with Tubo and occasionally mobilized troops to fight against the Hu people on the grassland.

The result was that North Korea had no soldiers, and Silla eventually betrayed the ministers and started a war against the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty had won many battles, it could not be maintained in the end. This is a place where only blood was seen, consumption was seen but not profitable.

The government and the people lost interest in this place and eventually retreated by themselves, which made Silla fulfill their benefits and made him pick up the bargain and finally unify the peninsula.

It can be said that after two generations of Sui and Tang dynasties, starting from the conquest of Goguryeo and finally withdrawing from the peninsula during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, it took decades and countless expenses, and the ultimate strategy was a failure.

The first strategic goal was to destroy Goguryeo, which was full of threat to the Central Plains. This was indeed done, but later I wanted to take the opportunity to seize North Korea, but it was ultimately a failure.

Make wedding clothes for others!

It is impossible for Dahua to follow this old path as well.

"Demolish all Silla and Baekje people into slaves and transport them to the Central Plains." Zhang Jing said a way to deal with it, which was also a way proposed by Zhang Chao after Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo.

The threat from Liaodong was solved once and for all, and the country and nation were completely destroyed.

But this is the moment, that is the moment.

"No, this is not a real good idea, it's just a special way for a special period."

Whether it is to slaughter the indigenous people, or to capture them all as slaves and sell them, this is indeed an effective way to conquer.

But this method is also costly.

First, the enemy's resistance will be very fierce, and second, it is easy to kill all people, but this place becomes an open space. How can no one develop?

Just like Goguryeo, people were sold as slaves in the past. Until now, the Liaodong and North Korea, which were set up in the old place of Goguryeo, are still large and deserted.

The imperial court is here and cannot even collect taxes.

If this policy is implemented for Baekje, Silla, and Japan, this place will become a deserted island in the future.

Does Dahua need a deserted island?

Of course not.

"Want to think about it, is there any other better way?"

Zhang Jing thought about it.

"Then remove all the upper layers and then Baojia will defend together."

It is not easy to conquer and rule a new place and a new group of people. No matter what, for the Baekje and Silla people, the Han people are outsiders.

Zhang Chao shook his head.

"It's wrong to clear all."

"You have to be kind and power. You have to be used to those who surrender. And you have to be killed. Not only can you be killed, but you have to be cruel. Kill the leader of the rebels and impart their wives, children and children as slaves. And those who resist followers will also be demoted to slaves."

"For those surrendered among the upper class, we should use them appropriately. Using these people to assist in managing the people, sometimes it will be much more convenient to manage them through these people. Of course, the Baojia system is also needed."

The biggest shortcoming of the court now for the Korean Peninsula is its population problem.

It is no longer possible to draw enough Han people to immigrate to North Korea. Faced with the large area of ​​land conquered, they can only be dominated by indigenous people.

"We must also show our kindness appropriately to those people. For example, confiscate the land of the original royal family, government and nobles, and then equalize the land for them. The debts of many people to the original nobles and tyrants will be cancelled, and courts will be established to ensure judicial justice, etc.."

"This time you go to North Korea and the attack on the Three Kingdoms is not the end, it is just the beginning of your mission. The Three Kingdoms of the East China Sea are your prince's trial. I will give you three to five years. Not only will you conquer and destroy these Three Kingdoms, but you will also establish a stable rule of the Dahua Dynasty there, so that the people there can accept our Dahua and become a member of our Dahua."

"What I need is not a deserted island, nor scorched earth. What I hope is the surrender and prosperity over there. The court now gives you 100,000 troops and prepares a military budget of 100,000 for you. I hope that in a few years, you can bring back 100,000 troops and hand them over to the court more than 100 million."

Zhang Jing felt extremely stressed.

If it is just a destruction of the Three Kingdoms, it is indeed a piece of cake.

But now, it is very difficult to conquer not only to conquer, completely conquer, and develop.

It's much harder than asking for help in Liu.

At least Liu Qiu had hundreds of thousands of Han immigrants, and Shanyi could not even occupy most of them.

In the Three Kingdoms of the East China Sea, I am afraid that the Han people will not even occupy one hundred or less. At that time, how can we establish a stable rule in the distant East China Sea, and we cannot destroy it and develop and prosper there.

Over the past decade, the Central Plains have been constantly developing to all sides.

Relying on the powerful population of the Central Plains, the people of the empire were revitalized, and the people of the empire were revitalized.

Relying on this huge population base, the development of Longyou, Hetao, Daibei, Lingnan, and even the princes divided the four sides to explore the people recruited from the Central Plains.

As the rise of industry and commerce in the Central Plains, the development of a large number of factories, workshops, minerals, etc. is also due to the improvement of productivity, many people liberated.

But the empire's population is less than 100 million.

The latest statistics at present are that the population of the Great Hua Empire is 898 million, which is close to 90 million, but it is still less than 100 million.

There is no enough population to support immigration and development now. Workshops and minerals in various places have long been supported by slaves sold from outside. Especially in industries with high labor intensity such as mining industries, there are foreign slaves in the mines, and even many plantations are full of slaves.

Without slaves, the development of the empire had long been stagnant.

Nowadays, the Han people live well in Japan, and at least they are small landlords who are self-cultivated farmers.

It is almost impossible to recruit more immigrants to the border in the Central Plains.

Although some people once suggested to Zhang Chao that after conquering the Three Kingdoms, they imitated Goguryeo's disposal, demoted all the people of the Three Kingdoms to slaves and threw them into the Central Plains to make up for the lack of manpower.

But this proposal was rejected by Zhang Chao.

North Korea and Japan cannot be deserted like this.

However, the imperial court would still encourage Han people to immigrate, and give them more land at that time, and even sell some prisoners of war to immigrants at a cheaper price, which is a special benefit for immigrants.

However, in order to rule and develop this side, it is still necessary to properly absorb most of the natives.

"Remember that Chinese education is necessary to allow all native children to receive Chinese primary education for at least six years. Even these natives have to promote Chinese dialect to them, build more religious temples, and let them participate in preaching and preaching every weekend."

"Have you had a better relationship with Changle recently?" Zhang Chao asked his son.

The last time Zhang Jing wanted Changle to divorce, this matter was naturally unconcealed. Even if Changle had a good temper, he could not bear it. The two had a big fight, and then Changle came to Zhang Chao and said he wanted to divorce.

Of course, Zhang Chao would not agree, so he persuaded him. He turned around and conferred Changle as the crown princess and Zhang Sheng as the crown princess.

In this way, it can be considered a comfort to Li Lizhi.

Zhang Jing smiled a little embarrassedly. Li Lizhi didn't mention the divorce, but she still had a cold war with him.
