Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

Li Shimin nodded again and again after hearing this. The two big defeats created countless refugees and bandits, and there was no one in the team. It seemed that Tang Jun's prestige was very effective.

Moreover, in this case, Bacheng is stable. It seems that there are a few capable guards in the city, unlike Goryeo, who immediately abandoned the city and fled when they heard the news of the defeat.

"I don't know if this Fuyu family is ready to surrender, and what is the guard's name."

"The guard's name is Black Tooth Changzhi."

As he spoke, Li Shimin snorted coldly with disdain.

"The letter said that King Fuyu threatened the eight major families of civil and military officials. Seeing that the situation was not right, the members of the Fuyu family fled to the country of Wa with Yuxi and several heirs of King Fuyu.

Now, there are only eight major families in Jubacheng, headed by the guard Hei Chi Chang Zhi.

This letter was written by Hei Chi Chang Zhi. Three days later, Hei Chi Chang Zhi will personally lead the eight major families to form a surrender team to surrender to me. "

"People from the Fuyu family ran away with Yuxi?" Niu Jinda was taken aback after hearing this, and then smiled disdainfully and said, "This is really fast."

"Hmph." Changsun Wuji thought for a while, then said with a sneer: "The Fuyu family is just one family, and the nobles have eight major families. Those who really want to stop the Fuyu family will not be able to leave."

Li Daozong thought for a while, then frowned and said, "That's right, the Fuyu family is carrying jade seals. I'm afraid that the Eight Great Families have plans and plans to restore the country in their hearts."

The fact that the Fuyu family fled with Yuxi is hard not to make people think about it, because there are too many problems.

Eight families can't stop one family, no one will believe it, and the loss of Yuxi at such a critical moment is a bit too coincidental.

You must know that the jade seal symbolizes the existence of being ordered by the sky and deifying the monarchy.

"Then do you want to give them all~" Niu Jinda made a beheading gesture.

"I'm afraid not." Li Shimin shook his head. They didn't clearly collude with the army to rebel. They just let the Fuyu family go, and they all beheaded. Then who will be the minister of appeasement?

"There are sweet potatoes in Baekje. I thought they had to be captured and heavily guarded. It was not appropriate to use more weapons. I thought I should observe their movements first and make plans."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

--------

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the agreed surrender.

Wearing a dragon robe, Li Shimin sat in the chariot with a solemn expression, while civil servants and military generals followed on both sides, and behind him were tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

The army came to the gate of Juba City in an orderly manner.

At this moment, a white flag was hung high on the city tower, fluttering and rolling in the wind.

Soon, the gate of Zhuhong was opened, and Baekje's troops drove out slowly.

In the lead are two white horses dragging a chariot with a white flag, behind are countless civil and military officials in plain white filial piety, and behind are officials carrying the coffin.

Under the watchful eyes of Li Shimin and others, the descendants left the city gate.

A child (Fu Yulong) who had been pleaded guilty got off the chariot, and then everyone began the ceremony of surrender. Everyone kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, and headed towards Li Shimin and others.

After traveling for a certain distance, the descending team stopped slowly, keeping a safe distance.

Heizhi Changzhi and Daochen held the territory map and other things, and at the same time pushed Fu Yufeng, who was pleading guilty, and advanced to a distance of more than ten meters from Tang.

Fu Yufeng looked at the chariot of Li Shimin in front of the Tang army with fear in his eyes, and shouted tremblingly: "This king is the prince of Baekje Fuyu...Buyulong, surrender to the heavenly kingdom, please accept the surrender."

"Fu Yulong?" Li Shimin frowned slightly through the curtain of the chariot.

A child alighted from the chariot?How much power can a ten-year-old wield?How much right to speak can you have?

He must be the blame man left behind by the Fuyu family.

For a moment, Li Shimin thought of a lot.

But whether it is from inheriting blood relatives or other things, it is in line with the etiquette of surrender, and there is no fault at all, so it is still impossible to make trouble.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly got up, lifted the curtain, and slowly got out of the car, with a majestic appearance, staring at Fu Yulong proudly.

"I am the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty. Now that I am thinking that you will return from the lost way... I would like to accept your surrender!!"

After recounting his crimes and giving a long speech showing his tolerance and generosity, Li Shimin, supported by the imperial army, walked slowly in front of Fu Yulong.

Under everyone's attention, he took the letter of surrender and the territory map, then stretched out his hand and untied Fu Yulong, took the torch with a solemn expression, and threw it on the coffin board.

With the raging fire ignited, Baekje was declared shattered, and the ceremony officially ended.

Chapter 225 Turning Baekje People Into Sissies

With the end of the ceremony, Baekje has become the territory of Datang in name.

The Tang army began to change defenses as a matter of course, the city walls, palaces, barracks...all the main roads were occupied.

Then a court meeting was simply held, announcing the management of the territory, the extermination of bandits, and the treatment of refugees... the most important of which was the implementation of the three strategies of destroying the country.

But to the surprise of Li Shimin and others, the Eight Great Families behaved very well, like pugs that only nodded, and there was no sign of resistance at all.

This made everyone feel incredible, so that suspicion continued.

Niu Jinda thought for a long time but couldn't understand the reason, so he looked up at Yang Siqi who was beside him.

"When we were in Korea, the five tribes wanted to protect their own land as if they were taking their lives, but the eight major families of Baekje didn't stop me from waiting?"

Yang Siqi was also frowning at this moment, and he didn't think about it, so he could only look at Changsun Wuji: "Did the Duke think of anything?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Changsun Wuji, wanting to know what he thought.

In fact, Changsun Wuji knew about the same information as everyone else. Baekje people were rich beyond everyone's imagination, and their stupidity was also beyond everyone's imagination.

"Perhaps... the eight major families are gathering together to discuss how to deal with us? Or maybe they are really intimidated by the cannon and willing to surrender?"

Yang Siqi immediately retorted: "Being beaten? I don't believe it!"

The old and the weak, women and children in this city dare to attack for the sake of consummation of merit and virtue, saying that the nobles are convinced by being beaten?Who would believe it!

"Why do you care so much, implement the three strategies tomorrow and see who dares to stop!"

Niu Jinda had a murderous look on his face, and he was even eager to try. After all, once he found out that it was related to the Eight Great Families, he could justifiably clean it up and get a lot of spoils at the same time.

After he finished speaking, a group of people booed.

"What Lao Niu said is that if they are daring, they will clean it up."

"At that time, I will be the first to clean them up, hehe."

The black line on Li Shimin's head didn't know what everyone was thinking, it was nothing more than thinking about the little money of the Eight Great Families.

In fact, he was also very concerned about it, but the other party was so tolerant that he didn't make any move, so he couldn't find an excuse to do it.

For no reason, the enemy army that has surrendered cannot be copied, otherwise the enemy army in the future will fight with their lives.

Thinking up to this point, Li Shimin could only wave his hands and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will send people to continue watching the movements of the eight major families."

There is no way, if there is no one like Quan boy who comes to lead the way and report, it will be difficult to know what the other party is doing.

It can be said that it is very difficult to inquire about important things, and to install someone, because of the language barrier and different customs.

From the current point of view, the eight major families are very peaceful on the surface, but as for the secrets, I am afraid that only they themselves know.

The next day.

Li Shimin and the others came to the top of the city tower and looked at the city gate below.

I saw neat tables and chairs on both sides of the city gate. Above the tables were wooden signboards, pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Sitting were conscripted Confucian scholars from Baekje.

In addition, there are many Baekje scholars repeatedly chanting with gongs and drums.

As long as people come and recognize Datang's ID card, no matter whether they were refugees or bandits before, they all have land and food.

But over time.

Li Shimin and others began to feel something was wrong.

The city gate was extremely quiet, only the recruited scholars endured the scorching sun silently, and no one came to register for Datang's household registration.

What is even more unbelievable is that wherever the proclamation team with drums and gongs goes, the door is closed immediately, as if avoiding the plague god.

"How could this be?" Li Shimin frowned, puzzled by the scene in front of him.

"Could it be that this is the support of the Eight Great Families?" Changsun Wuji thought for a moment.

"Could it be that you thought of something?" Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and asked.

Hearing about Li Shimin's culture, Changsun Wuji hurriedly saluted and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I just have a vague guess and need more information to be sure."

"Oh~ why not tell me and listen to me."

"Yes." With Li Shimin's permission, Changsun Wuji thought for a while and organized his words.

"First of all, the reason is the sweet potato. The yield of sweet potato is high, and if it is stored properly, it can be stored for more than six months. Therefore, Baekje people do not lack food at all, and they are not highly dependent on the land."

"In this way, don't the people of Baekje not rely on too much land?"

"Isn't the strategy I'm waiting to promulgate useless?"

"That's not right! I heard that sweet potatoes can be used to make wine, and wine can be sold. It's impossible for them to think that the money is too much!"

The yield of sweet potatoes is too high, and it is easy to take care of, which greatly reduces the dependence of farmers on the land.

But at the same time, there are many additional products of sweet potatoes, among which is wine.

People in Baekje are addicted to alcohol from the court to the dawn, so their land yields are higher and their dependence is stronger. Why don't they come to collect it?

It doesn't make sense at all.

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly and continued.

"In addition to sweet potatoes, there is also Buddhism. Being able to call on millions of mobs shows how powerful it is.

As we all know, there is no tax on Buddhist land, and Buddhist children are exempt from military service, so most farmers will hang their land under the name of Buddhist temples. "

Speaking of this, everyone fell silent.

Obviously, the national conditions of Goguryeo and Baekje are quite different.

Sweet potatoes ensured the survival of Baekje people, and at the same time brought objective income. Buddhism not only gave spiritual beliefs, but also gave benefits such as exemption from military service.

This has led to the fact that the people at the bottom of Baekje do not need to pay taxes, they only need to give a little money to the temple, and the land is still owned by them.

It is now promulgated that as long as you are a member of Datang, you will pay taxes step by step, and the land belongs to Datang.

In this comparison, being a member of the Tang Dynasty is called paying taxes, and you want the land to be owned by the state, who would like it!

No one is willing, all are willing to indulge in Buddhism, isn't it good to be a layman?Who is still a Datang man?

"I'm thinking, maybe the Eight Great Clans and the Fuyu Clan already understand this." Changsun Wuji reminded with narrowed eyes.

"If these three strategies are fully implemented, I am afraid that the more than two hundred cities in Baekje will all rebel. At that time, the Fuyu family will only need to raise their arms, and I am afraid that they will be able to gather another million troops to attack."

After talking like this, everyone understood the problem, and the different national conditions naturally made it impossible to implement the three strategies in Baekje.

"Fortunately, it was implemented in Juba City in advance, and no major mistakes were made. Otherwise, I might face the rebellion of the hundred cities. At that time, the people of the Fuyu family might raise their arms and gather all the people of the hundred cities to rebel."

"Hmph, mob, kill as many as they come, until they are scared!" Niu Jinda snorted coldly.

"Don't talk nonsense." Yang Siqi glanced at it, how could it be possible to kill them all?If everyone is dead, it will still rule a ghost.

"Hey, then Su Dingfang can cure them differently, wouldn't it be enough to kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "It's useless. If you have hatred in your heart, even if you can cure it for a while, it won't last forever!"

Sweet potatoes have not been popularized yet, and it is impossible to give up this place. Forced suppression is obviously not enough. Long-term stability still depends on the rule of benevolence.

"so what should I do now?"

"Do you want to destroy the Buddha?" Niu Jinda asked tentatively.

"I'm afraid it won't work. The Buddha has been extinct for several dynasties. It is impossible for this thing to be extinct for a while..."

Changsun Wuji vetoed this unreliable proposal on the spot. This thing is so brainwashing that it is really impossible to kill it in a while.

"Do you want to support Taoism and Buddhism to compete?" Yang Siqi said.

"Uh, Taoist inaction...can't support the wall." Li Shimin waved his hand, there have been failure cases, and this is obviously not acceptable.

The three strategies are applicable. For example, grasslands are not applicable, but I didn't expect Baekje to fail, and I can only blame Baekje people for being too rich.

But I didn't think of any good way for a while.

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. Just use the Mahayana Buddhism to let them all eunuch themselves." Niu Jinda complained, feeling his brain burnt.

"Hey~ Mahayana Buddhism?"

""Mahayana Buddhism"!?"
