Shenzhou Li Suo Shenyang County was newly established from scratch, just near Shenyang in later generations. For this reason, even the Xiaoliao River (Hun River) restored its ancient name: Shenshui.
There are seven counties in Shenzhou. In addition to Shenyang, there are also:
Gaimou County, formerly Gaimou Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, is now Tashan Mountain City, Chenxiangtun Town, Sujiatun District, Shenyang. Baiwang County, formerly Baiwang City of Khitan, is now Sandaogangzi Town, Xinmin City.
Fushun County, the former Xincheng Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty, today's Gaoershan City of Fushun. Liaoyang County, the former Tang Dynasty Liaoyang County, today's Liaoyang.
Xingliao County, present-day Anshan.
Wangping County, Han Wangping County, present-day Ximu Town, Haicheng City.
Among these seven counties, except for Baiwang County, which has a large population, and Liaoyang and Fushun counties, which have a small population, the remaining four counties are basically empty.
No one, it sounds troublesome, but everything must be viewed dialectically. There are advantages and disadvantages. We all know the disadvantages, but the advantage is that there are a lot of *** places to divide.
Before, there were about 5,000 soldiers in Anton Mansion lined up to be divided into areas. Now they are all divided into areas in Shenzhou. But they are not all the soldiers in Shenzhou. More than 7,000 people will also be dispersed and divided into areas in Shenzhou. All over the state.
The north wind blows, and the chill is overwhelming.
Outside Shenzhou City, where the foundation had just been laid, Shi Junli, Li Congke, and Li Congzhang were sitting across from each other and drinking. Wansheng Huangtoujun returned south with the saint, and now he had to make a decision.
"Can we still rebel?" Li Congke laughed angrily and said, "I'm just unwilling to do so."
"What can you do if you don't want to give in?" Li Congzhang gave him a warning look and sneered: "Uncle sent someone to bring you a message. Don't cause trouble and enjoy your wealth in peace." "My lord, he hasn't realized it yet, but... ·" Li Congke took the meat cleaver and cut the deer meat bitterly, breathing heavily.
"Don't be angry." Li Congzhang still respected his uncle Li Siyuan. He knocked on the table and reminded him.
"Forget it, why am I angry!" Li Congke picked up a piece of meat, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, saying vaguely: "No matter what, I have made a contribution this time, and I don't have to worry about wealth. What I worry about is Wansheng Huangtou's army has more than 7,000 soldiers."
Yes, the people the imperial court intends to stay as soldiers are the remaining soldiers of Wansheng Huangtou Army.
Since the attack on Buyeo Prefecture, people from the Government Hall and the Privy Council have been surveying the army, asking how many people are willing to stay and serve as government soldiers.
Because the Wansheng Huangtou Army fought well this time, the court was quite polite. Those who are willing to stay in Shenzhou and serve as soldiers will follow the story of Andong Mansion. The transition period is five years, and the five years will still be counted as recruiting soldiers and they will continue to receive rewards. Five years After that, they were basically all assigned to the territory, and An Anxin stayed in the counties to take root in Shenzhou and became the main military presence of the imperial court in Liaodong Road.
In the pre-Tang Dynasty, almost half of the Zhechong Prefecture where the soldiers were located was located in Guanxi, accounting for 49%. Hedong, where Li Tang started his career, accounted for 25%, Henan accounted for 11%, and Hebei accounted for less than 8%, which can be regarded as Li Tang Sanchuan in the hinterland accounts for 4%, and Huainan, Jiangnan, and Lingnan each account for about 1%.
From the distribution of the soldiers, we can see how distant and distant relatives were in the eyes of the Tang court.
But the policy of "raising the troops in Guanzhong to attack all directions" is also reasonable, because at that time there was almost no standing army in the country, and the government troops were the main military force. If you don't put the main military force near the capital, can you sleep?
Daxia has entered the era of recruiting troops. The Forbidden Army is the main military force, mostly distributed around the eastern capital Luoyang.
With the most powerful field army in the world as the backing, Xia Ting had enough confidence to set up government troops and town troops in the border areas. He did not need to defend other places like Li Tang did - when Li Shimin attacked Goguryeo and won consecutive battles, but after the victory, the government troops
The soldiers could not stay in the local area for a long time, so they could only move the Goguryeo people away, evacuate Liaodong, establish Jisifu Prefecture there, slowly recruit Long March athletes, and try to reconstruct the local armed forces. It can be said that the Yefu military system succeeded and defeated the Yefu military system.
.
The soldiers of the government have "roots". After fighting the war, they will eventually return to their hometown, their farm, and their side.
Of course, if the Tang Dynasty was determined to immigrate to Liaodong on a large scale and set up more imperial troops, it would be another matter. But obviously, this violated the fundamental policy of "raising troops in Guanzhong to attack all directions" and could not be implemented after all.
Later, the imperial military system was corrupted, and the Tang Dynasty entered the era of recruiting troops. Most of the country's military forces were stationed in the border areas, which resulted in turmoil, which also confirmed the Tang Dynasty's
Ting's initial concerns were not without purpose.
Evacuating Liaodong and moving the Goguryeo people inland allowed Khitan, Mohe, and Silla to gain space for expansion. It may seem strange, but in fact there are profound reasons behind it.
Daxia doesn’t have to be so troublesome.
The eight counties of Andong Prefecture already have twelve Zhechong Prefectures, commanding 12,000 soldiers. In the seven counties of Shenzhou, there will also be twelve Zhechong Prefectures, commanding 12,000 soldiers. In the future, there will be 5,000 soldiers.
Yes, there are seven thousand left.
"I went down and asked, and most people were willing." Shi Junli finished drinking half a bowl of wine and felt a little bored. He just heard him say: "It's okay to not be a soldier, but Wansheng Huangtou Army will be merged into other
In the army, we continue to fight in the north and south. It is common sense for warriors to sacrifice their lives for money. Every day the court gives us money, we have to sell our lives. There is nothing to say. But how many people did we have before we set off? Thirteen thousand.
! We fought for half a year and lost nearly 5,000 people. There was a big epidemic a while ago and another thousand people died. Now it’s just over 7,000. Hey, 7,000 soldiers, come back next year to fight in the Bohai Sea, or go south to fight in hot places, and fight a few more
Why don't we all die in the next year? You guys are not stupid. You have received five years of military rewards for nothing, and you don't have to fight. From now on, you will have an inheritance that will be passed down to future generations. There is nothing dissatisfied about it."
Li Congke was silent.
Although Liaodong is poor and useless, it is not as good as the colorful world of the Central Plains. But as Shi Junli said, if you want to be a martial artist, you have to work hard. If you go to fight in the south of the Yangtze River, a disease may kill many people. Is it worth it? If the fight lasts for three to five years, who will
Do you dare to pat your chest and guarantee that you will survive?
Rather than that, it would be better to stay and serve as a soldier. Capture the Bohai Sea, ridicule the people, Khitan, and Goguryeo and come over to serve as soldiers, cultivate 150 acres of land, raise a lot of cattle and sheep, and beg for a concubine.
A lot of kids, isn’t this a fun day?
To put it bluntly, some Imperial Guard soldiers are tempted. If they want to fight, you may not be able to win. The number of places is limited!
Of course, there is actually another way, and that is to rebel. But there is a high probability that they will not be able to enter Linyu Pass, and the final outcome may be total annihilation. If it were a weak emperor, they might really take action. But Shao Sheng is too
He is so cruel and a pure martial artist.
Zhang Wanjin, Shi Shaoyong and the like! It seems that none of the Luzhou soldiers survived. Some people say that they were not all dead and were building a palace in Beiping. But how is that different from death?
"Will there be government troops in Xianzhou?" Li Congzhang stood up and asked Shi Junli respectively. Li Congke poured a bowl of wine for each of them. "I heard it is a natural army." Shi Junli said.
Tiancheng's army did not fight much along the way. When guarding the granary, they may have fought with the Khitan a few times, but the losses were minor. They are still distributed in various villages, with two to three thousand people in one group, blocking the grain road.
The saint has just transported a large amount of Bohai tussah cloth to distribute rewards. I heard that each person will be rewarded with one silk reel, two pieces of cloth, one pig, and two sheep. They will be guarded until May next year, and then when the government troops are set up, they will be given priority.
This was the news that Shi Junli had inquired about, but he didn't say much and only gave a brief introduction. "That's all." Li Congke raised his head and drank the wine, sighing: "The sons and daughters are going to abandon me and wait."
"You haven't killed enough yet?" Li Congzhang gave him a warning look and scolded him with a smile: "The day the sergeant makes a noise and chops off your head, you will know how powerful you are. Shi Shaoyong may be eager for his men to become government soldiers.
.”
As soon as these words came out, both Shi Junli and Li Congke were happy.
Shi Shaoyong is an unlucky guy! Zhang Wanjin is really rebelling, Shi Shaoyong really doesn’t want to rebel, but the ending is the same.

When Shao Shude was hunting in the suburbs of Shenyang, Han Congyun, the governor of Xianzhou, had just arrived at Mian Sheng.
Han Congyun is the son of Han Jian. He has served successively as deputy envoy to the regiment training of Shenzhou, governor of Rouzhou, and Biejia of Yuzhou. From a resume point of view, he is either a military officer or an official in the prefecture and county. This time he serves as the governor of Xianzhou and the commander of the state army.
A great leap forward in career.
Sikong Ting, the governor of Shenzhou, was also there.
"There are four counties in Xianzhou, and none of them are from Xia Dynasty. Han Qing needs to pay more attention." Shao Shude said while skillfully disemboweling the hare.
"I obey your order," Han Congyun replied respectfully.
He already understood that Bohai State's Fuyu Prefecture originally had seven counties: Fuyu, Qiangshi, Xin'an, Yugu, Butuo, Xianyi, and Quechuan. However, after years of war, many places were deserted.
People ordered the merger, and only four counties were included: Fuyu County (now Nong'an, Changchun), Qiangshi County (now a town northwest of Changtu County, Tieling City), Yugu County (now west of Xifeng County, Tieling City) and Xianyi County (the former site of Xianyi
Unexamined, now placed in the Changchun area) - Xianzhou originally governed Fuyu, but now it has been moved to show its meaning.
Quechuan and Xin'an were merged into Qiangshi County, and Buduo was merged into Fuyu County.
At present, there are probably less than 7,000 households or 30,000 people left in the whole state. Recently, Khitan has been added, and 5,000 households have come over. After the household registration is reorganized, there should be 60,000 to 70,000 people.
In fact, this population is still far from enough. There are not even many young and old people to serve as soldiers in the government. We still have to continue to work hard (people). "Don't think that Xianzhou is a bitter and cold place." Shao Shude pointed.
The land next to it said: "One tael of soil and two taels of oil. It has been rarely cultivated for thousands of years, and the soil is fertile. If wheat and beans are planted, it will not be a problem to harvest one or two husks of dendrobium per acre."
Shao Shude attaches great importance to Xianzhou.
Historically, this was an important agricultural area of the Liao Kingdom. Because Abaoji saw the Yellow Dragon flying in the sky (not sure whether it was true or not...), he changed the name of Fuyu Prefecture to Huanglong Prefecture.
He was not interested in whether there were dragons or not, but he knew that this place would be an important distribution center for soybeans in later generations of China.
In the 20th century, the Northeast King Zhang Zuolin prospered mainly because of soybeans. At that time, the Germans invented the hydrogenation technology of vegetable oil and created a magical thing called "margarine".
The low price of margarine made it affordable for the poor working class in Europe, instantly creating a huge market. As the only producing area in the world that grows soybeans on a large scale, Northeast China began to export soybeans to Europe in large quantities. In order to get rid of the Manchurian Railway Company
Due to the exploitation of the Dalian Port that he controlled, Zhang Zuolin even spent huge sums of money to build a new Yingkou Port to export soybeans. This was also one of the important reasons why he was later bombed to death by the Japanese - blocking people's way of making money.
Soybeans do not have much value at this time and are more suitable for feeding horses. Compared with other cereals, they have no significant advantages.
A lot of beans are planted in Guanbei, and they are rotated with wheat, mainly to fertilize the fields. But soybeans are not the only thing that fertilizes the fields. Leguminous grasses can also be used. Shaoshude does not have vegetable oil hydrogenation technology, and people in the Central Plains do not like to eat butter. It is a pity.
But it doesn’t matter whether you grow soybeans or not. You can still get a bumper harvest if you grow food here. Moreover, the land is vast and sparsely populated, which is suitable for agricultural and animal husbandry rotation, so as not to overly consume the nutrients in the black soil.
"This land is really good." Han Congyun also smiled and said, "If the family leader sees it, he will definitely say that there is such a good land, why rebel." Shao Shude laughed.
*** Land, a gift from nature for thousands of years, can it be good?
He remembered that when the later Portuguese colonists first arrived in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and described the appearance of the land, they mentioned that when a person stood on the land, his feet sank slightly, up to his ankles.
Those are plant branches and leaves that have not yet decayed and are the nutrients that crops rely on to grow.
But everything follows the law of conservation of energy. Can crops sprout from a small seed, grow to maturity, bloom and bear ears, without consuming nutrients in the soil?
Perhaps, the Han land was originally a fertile land, but it became more and more barren due to extensive cultivation. When barrenness reached a certain level, it was necessary to leave it fallow to restore soil fertility, or to artificially supplement nutrients.
From the current point of view, the black soil in Liaodong will not be able to consume all the gifts of nature in more than a hundred years. As long as there is no extreme climate, even if you only grow one season of food a year, you can continue to obtain high yields - the Russians' black soil in the Far East
Potatoes are grown on land without chemical fertilizers at all, and the yield is still very high even after many years of planting.
The Khitan people are vigorously developing the planting industry in Liaodong. This is actually the right path. If they continue to do so, the national strength will be greatly enhanced. "I will leave in a while. You have to take good care of the four counties of Xianzhou." After saying that, Shao Shude looked at Sikong Ting again and said: "The seven counties in Shenzhou can't relax any more."
"I obey your decree." The two of them responded in unison.
"The Tiancheng Army is stationed in Seven Saints Prefecture, Shenzhou, and the Luoyan Army are all locals. They are stationed in Zhengjie Mansion and Suzhou. You should not completely trust them, but there is no need to suspect that they will rebel." Shao Shude said: "I am now The Northern Expedition has led to successive battles and victories. No one dares to rebel in the short term. When spring comes and I come again, the situation in Liaodong will definitely be more stable. Please be patient and worry about it."
"According to the decree." Han Congyun and Sikong Ting knew what was going on.
The saint's attitude towards Liaodong seems to be very determined. There is nothing more to say, just risk your life.
