Chapter 750

The third year of Longhan, the ninth day of November.◇↓◇↓◇↓small◇↓say,

The Han Dynasty besieged Shenglong City and broke the city after seven days of fierce attack. The Yue army suffered numerous casualties. In the end, Zheng Zheng, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, opened the palace gate, and bound the Li Emperor Li Weiqi, led his troops to surrender.

"Zheng Lord Li Huang?"

General Fu Shan, the general of Zhennan, rode a horse to the palace, looked at the people kneeling in front of him, and smiled and said to the two people in front.

Li Weiqi looked up at the high commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty, and felt fear from the bottom of his heart, "The criminal Li Weiqi paid homage to the Grand Marshal of the Supreme Kingdom."

"So you are Li Weiqi. Since you received the edict from my sacred Emperor of Han a few years ago that he appointed you as the commander-in-chief of Annan, why did you dare to call yourself emperor? Where did you dare to resist the power of heaven? If the Han Dynasty did not come to attack you, you would dare to send troops to help Dongxu rebelliously against the Han Dynasty?"

"When the Grand Marshal, everything is driven by Zheng Jian, and the criminals are helpless." Li Weiqi has been a puppet emperor for more than 20 years. It is said that Emperor Li Zheng, Master Zheng, did not have the right to speak in this Great Yue Kingdom. Now that the country has been destroyed, he only wants to have a glimmer of hope.

Fu Shan just snorted, too lazy to talk nonsense about such an incompetent lord. His eyes turned to Zheng Jian. Zheng Jian, who was in his sixties, was still very tough at this time.

Since Zheng Jian took over the power of the Li Dynasty, the Zheng family has been passed down to Zheng Jian for four generations. Zheng Jian is also a little capable. He competed with his brothers and uncle for the throne, and his methods were ruthless. After taking over the throne, he fought against the Mo family in the north and the Ruan family in the south, and was considered a Cao Cao-like figure.

Unfortunately, they dared to fight against ****, and they were seeking death.

"Zheng Ye, if I had known today, why would I have been there?"

The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. No matter how dissatisfied Zheng Yan was, he could only bow his head at this time.

Fu Shan asked the two of them to be taken down and imprisoned, and waited for the marquis to take them to the capital.

The Marines entered the Shenglong City Imperial Palace and Zheng Mansion. Many things in the Imperial Palace and Zheng Mansion had to be transported to the capital. However, in other places, Fushan entered with mercenaries from other towns.

The two Japanese towns, one Korean town, and one foreign town, the mercenaries in the four towns that attacked Shenglong City, each occupying a city area in the southeast, west and northeast.

Mercenaries in the four towns were robbing. These people had been following the Han army for a long time and learned to rob. They were all prohibited from privateing, all of which were organized robberies and carpet plundering, and they did not miss any missing. All the robbed items must be handed over to the public first, and then classified into the account one by one.

According to the agreement with the court, these mercenaries fought in Annan, and all the cities and towns captured except for land were spoils, whether it was gold, silver, food or population.

But the court did not lose money. No matter how much they grabbed, the territory would belong to the court. In addition, the court took half of their spoils first. Then the remaining half was deducted and then given to them after taxes. They had to pay a lot of money to pay for weapons, food, and other expenses.

In addition, the spoils of war usually have to be sold to the court first and then distributed with silver coupons. In this transaction process, the court of course still has to make a fortune.

However, the spoils in the battle of siege and destroying the country were still very generous. Even if all kinds of things were deducted, the final distribution would be quite generous.

However, the court is not losing money. It does not have to pay military salaries, or be responsible for equipment, nor does it have to pay high pensions for deaths and disability allowances. The money earned by the mercenaries is exchanged for their lives.

If you use the Han army without mercenaries, the cost will be much higher.

This siege battle lasted for seven days. Mercenaries from four towns took turns to attack, and 20% of the 100,000 people were killed and killed recently before they took Shenglong City. Although they killed three times the Vietnamese army, the casualties of 20,000 people were still amazing.

However, such casualties are far inferior to the equipment of the mercenaries. Moreover, during this attack, the elite naval and marine warfare only provided artillery support from behind and did not participate in the tragic offensive and defensive battle. Fu Shanmei said that he gave the opportunity to seize the city to the mercenaries, but in fact, the lives of the mercenaries are more valuable.

The lives of the Han official army are very valuable, but the lives of mercenaries are naturally not worth it.

Even the mercenaries themselves felt the same way. There is no one who can't die in war. They will die if they die. They will just dig a hole or bury them. It would be great to be able to send some money to the mercenaries who died in battle after the war.

The generous benefits in Shenglong City after the war also made these mercenaries less concerned about the heavy casualties.

"There are still very rich in Shenglong City, and they are all cheaper than those mercenaries." Some of the Marines guarding the palace were jealous.

However, the military discipline of the official army is extremely strong. If the superiors ask them to station in the palace, they will never dare to search for spoils.

"What's the matter of jealousy? No matter how much they search, they have to take half of it to the court. In the end, the court will not miss us anyway." Some soldiers understood that even if they were in the back-up formation this time, they had one for the attack on the city.

The generals such as Fu Shan did not enter the palace, but sent soldiers to seal the palace and register the things inside one by one.

They chose Zheng Mansion as the temporary commander's mansion.

"Master General, Shenglong City has been removed, and Emperor Li and Zheng Lord have also captured it. What should we do next?"

"The Zheng family and the Ruan family have been destroyed, and the remaining Wu family and Mo family are not worth mentioning. Now we are not in a hurry, let's clean up Shenglong City first. In my opinion, all the original Li family and Zheng family members in Shenglong City, as well as officials, generals and wealthy families, were all taken to the capital to wait for disposal. As for the other surrendered soldiers and the people, the young and strong were sent to the Central Plains to build roads, forts and mining, and the young women were all transported to the Central Plains."

Fu Shan knew very well that the long-term plan of the court was to completely turn the Indochina Peninsula into the southern border of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, it was impossible to be too relaxed to these Yue people, especially the Yue people still had so much dark history, and they were not often rebellious and had rebellious bones behind their heads. Therefore, the imperial court's intention was not only to destroy their country, but also to destroy their clan.

It is simple to destroy the country, just capture Annan directly. But the deceased tribes have to be a little trouble, and of course they cannot directly massacre them all. Although massacre is a very simple, crude and effective method, in history, the Mongols, Jurchens and others used this method to conquer. However, the Mongolians and Jurchens liked massacre because they were too small. No matter what method they used, they still accounted for a very small minority, so they barbaricly used massacre to strengthen their rule.

However, the Han Dynasty did not need it, because the Han Dynasty has a large population base and is the largest family in the world. The entire Annan only has a few million people, so it would be a pity to slaughter it.

What a good manpower.

According to Liu Jun's core guiding ideology, the court opened its territory and then moved from the densely populated Central Plains to those mountainous areas with no land or extremely harsh living conditions to newly expanded areas of the border, and gave them land to them, so that they could take roots and sprout and scatter their branches and leaves on these Xinjiang territory.

As for the natives in the occupied land, the best way is to move away from their original place. This will not take long, and the land will be completely part of China. It just so happens that the Han Dynasty is also developing industry and commerce. The capital initiation stage is the most needed are all kinds of workers.

The people of the Han Dynasty had land, who would still be willing to work as workers? After all, for the Han people, the deep-rooted concept is to work hard to make money, be thrifty, then buy land, save money, and then save money to buy land. The biggest dream of the Han people is to be a landlord.

Of course, this kind of thinking also has a positive side. Now that we have expanded our territory and have land for those who have no land, everyone is naturally willing to be a self-cultivated farmer in the local owners, and only when they are free will they be willing to work in factories.

But industry and commerce, especially when capital emerges, demand for labor is huge, especially industrial and mining enterprises, especially for labor, so it is naturally the most suitable to use these conquered tribes.

Let them go to prospect, build roads, work in factories, and become tenants.

Later, the Han people were all landlords, self-cultivated farmers, merchants, conquered Japanese, Yue people, Malays, etc., all workers and tenants.

This is indeed a kind of oppression and exploitation, but it is an excellent way to expand and stabilize the empire. After all, the Han Empire is not a Datong society. It is an empire with the Han people as the main body. It can accept other tribesmen, but it is definitely with the Han people as the main body.

Of course, assimilation education will be very powerful. Perhaps after three or five generations, those former outsiders will become new Han people, and will then enjoy the same treatment and rights as Han people.

Fu Shan and a group of generals left Zheng Mansion and walked on the streets of Shenglong City.

The war had already ended and the city had returned to peace.

However, although there is no killing in the city, there is no normal life. The Yue people in the city are being cleared out from one family and sent to different concentration camps according to different genders and ages.

Shenglong City is no longer their Shenglong City, and it is no longer the capital of Dayue. It is the city of Dahan. Everything here, even the city and people, is the spoils of Dahan. Every house, every piece of furniture, and even every Yue person will be clearly marked and sold.

Maybe in one month or three months, many Han people will move from the Central Plains.

They will enter this city, and these houses, fields, shops and furniture will all belong to them.

Shenglong City is very big. This city has a history of more than 800 years. It has become the capital of the country and renamed Shenglong for more than 600 years. This city is located in the Honghe Plain with rich resources, close to the sea, rich in resources, and prosperous population. It has always been the most important place in Annan.

Moreover, this city has a Han style everywhere, and the layout and even buildings in the city are very similar to the Central Plains. No matter how the Annan people rebel and do not often, it is still a country that is deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture. Confucianism and Central Plains culture can be seen everywhere here.
