As soon as Li Xiaogong finished speaking, everyone present could not help but take a deep breath.
Obviously, since this problem can trap Li Xiaogong, it is certainly not an easy thing for others.
In any case, Datang is facing this situation now.
Of course, the issue of population transfer and conversion is best left to your Majesty to personally take charge of the overall situation after returning to Chang'an. Everyone will slowly think of ways to come up with a draft, then discuss and optimize it, and finally implement it step by step and in an orderly manner.
But now, after all, the war has just ended.
People's hearts are still unstable.
Although Yuan Tiangang is still busy at this time... it is always certain that people's minds will fluctuate before the war is over.
What's more, Goguryeo is not the only force in this black land north of Hedong, there are also many forces nearby.
Having previously defeated the reinforcements sent by Goguryeo to Anshi City, the imperial army also defeated the Shiwei tribe who came with the reinforcements.
In addition to the Shiwei tribe, there are also relatively famous and powerful nomadic tribes such as the Xi tribe and the Khitan near Goguryeo.
As well as Bohai and Silla, there are many small states that are not well-known, but actually have a very large population. Although they are not famous for riding and archery, they have been able to "peacefully coexist" with Goguryeo for such a long time, and their strength can be imagined.
Although they are all small countries, they should not be underestimated.
Now that Kaijiang has acquired the territory of Goguryeo, how to deal with these small neighboring states in the future has become another problem.
Surrounded by all these troubles, there are also, as Li Xiaogong said, the problem of where the 500,000 men from Goguryeo surrendered, and the migration of Han people...
It can be said to be a myriad of things.
While everyone was thinking, Changsun Wuji suddenly said,
"Not to mention the whereabouts of Goguryeo's young men, it would not be easy to move the common people here."
After being reminded like this again, the generals also thought...
This black land is very fertile, and everyone understood it after careful investigation along the way.
But the Han farmers in China are very conservative and cautious, unless they see it with their own eyes...
I don’t believe it, but it’s definitely not easy for people to move here.
After all, this place is still a bit remote.
So……
Coupled with Changsun Wuji's reminder, Li Xiaogong and others' eyebrows furrowed even deeper.
So continue.
In the former royal court of Goguryeo, the silence lasted for a while.
It takes enough time for a cup of tea...
Still no one spoke, and Li Xiaogong was really worried when he saw this.
If you can't think of a general idea to start dealing with the problem at hand today, then I'm afraid that the state of "can't think of a plan" will last for a while - maybe the whole winter.
And in this case... even if the Tang Dynasty had a steam train from Chang'an to Youzhou, which made it very easy to transfer materials, such a large population... is obviously still very difficult to handle. This aspect can be solved with Goguryeo's local food reserves, but in this case,
If the Imperial Guard followed and ate...
When people in Xianbei saw it, they were afraid that there would be something wrong with their mentality. In addition, because they were uncertain about where they were going and people felt insecure, something might happen.
These are all troops, and they are all young and middle-aged men. If one is not careful, he might get into a fight with weapons, and that would be really bad.
Li Xiaogong was quite worried. As Li Er's right-hand man in the military field, he was very familiar with this kind of situation where although he had won the battle, the aftermath was obviously difficult to deal with.
But at this moment, Li Sheng suddenly said,
"Since everyone has no idea, why not send these Xianbei people to Qiongzhou Island. That place is also sparsely populated. It would be a waste not to open up."
"Qiongzhou Island?"
Li Sheng suddenly mentioned this term, and Li Xiaogong, Li Ji and others were immediately attracted, but... they all felt a little strange in their minds.
It took me a long time to realize that it was a large island in the southernmost part of China.
but……
Although Li Sheng said this, Li Xiaogong felt very doubtful.
"This Qiongzhou Island... has a very small population. It is possible to transport people there. However, the place is a barren land with miasma in the mountains and forests..."
It is said that in ancient China, although a unified empire was built several times, due to the surrounding...
Either the mountains, the ice fields, or the vast sea... In the end, the pioneering journeys of countless famous generals and heroes were forced to stop.
The extreme cold in Mobei persuaded Huo Qubing to quit, while the vast snow-capped mountains in the Western Regions persuaded Ban Chao to quit, and the vast sea persuaded even more people to quit - this even deeply affected the character of the Han people in the south. Later generations of Jiangnan gentry were full of money.
It’s hard to say whether the problem was caused by Dahai’s persuasion to retreat...
Over time, these geographical barriers naturally gave rise to many urban legends spread in the Central Plains, such as how even ants in the northern desert could freeze to death, and the miasma in the mountains and forests in the south suffocated everything to death...
The Han people in the Central Plains basically believed in these legends.
Of course, Li Xiaogong was no exception. He felt it was unreliable after hearing this... He subconsciously thought about it from a Han perspective, and immediately couldn't help but shake his head, "I'm afraid it won't be possible... Even the Han people can bear the miasma in the mountains and forests."
If you can't help it, wouldn't it be possible for these Xianbei people to change?"
Li Xiaogong didn't mean that things would change after going there - that wouldn't be a big deal, it's just an island anyway.
What he meant was that if these Xianbei men knew where the Tang Dynasty was going to take them, they would probably mutiny immediately.
As soon as Li Xiaogong finished speaking, Li Ji, Yuchi Laomo and others also nodded.
Obviously, even Yuchi Laomo can see that there are many problems with Li Sheng's proposal.
But Li Sheng just smiled slightly.
"What's happening? Your Highness, Prince, please believe me. Not only will these Xianbei people not mutiny, they will also make a statue of the Prince's face and worship him as a living Buddha!"
After Li Sheng said this, everyone was shocked!
Everyone's face was full of surprise. However...
Li Sheng, however, had no intention of changing his words at all, and his tone was very firm.
... As for why Li Sheng is so sure, it's too simple, because almost all of Li Sheng's classmates from Northeast China in his previous life loved to go to Hainan Island... That place has now become the second base of the Northeast people.
However, Li Xiaogong and others still felt that it was unreliable, but Li Sheng was so famous that they had to try to believe it...
Maybe Qiongzhou Island is really suitable for Xianbei people?
But Li Xiaogong still felt that it was more prudent and asked, "Then the Holy Commander..."
"What should we do if the Xianbei people refuse to go in the first place?"
"It's not easy yet."
The smile on Li Sheng's face grew bigger and bigger, "Just tell them that Datang will send them to live in a place... where it will never snow."
Having said this.
Li Xiaogong suddenly felt enlightened.
That's right... Mobei is a bitter and cold place!
What every Xianbei person fears most in life is the cold!
