At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 481: Building a Navy

In the past, there was no need to deal with them, but now we need an outlet to the sea, we need to build warships, and we need to train the navy, so we can easily flatten their cities.

There is no good end to going against the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and there is even less good end to going against the Xiliang King.

This is Gao Yungong’s most profound understanding.

So he chose to agree to Xiliang's conditions without hesitation.

At the very least, you will never have to worry about food and clothing and can still live a life of wealth and prosperity.

"Marshal Jia, follow me."

Lord Gao Yun led the way and led Jia Xiong into the palace. He pointed to the throne and said, "Marshal Jia, please take your seat."

He himself sat on a cushion next to him.

"This is the throne, and I cannot reach it."

Jiaxiong shook his head, asked someone to bring a chair, and sat down on the dais where the throne was placed.

"Lord Gao Yun, have someone sort out the list of all officials and nobles in Goguryeo, as well as all the documents on land and property."

Jiaxiong's tone left no room for doubt: "Complete the handover within three days. Also, count out the shipbuilders. Starting tomorrow, we will focus on building warships."

"promise."

Lord Gao Yun adapted to his change of status very quickly and nodded humbly. He had to be humble.

The entire palace was filled with soldiers from Xiliang, wearing blood-stained armor, holding shining spears, and carrying dry swords.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

In order to facilitate the handover, Jiaxiong simply arranged his camp in the temporary palace. After all the documents were counted and loaded onto the truck, he took Gao Yungong and other maids and slaves back to the original royal city of Goguryeo.

Pingcheng.

As the first city of Goguryeo, it was captured by the Western Liang army after only three days of defense.

Jiaxiong immediately sent a message to Huluxu's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, asking them to gather their forces and set up camp outside Pingcheng.

As for the tens of thousands of soldiers under Jiaxiong, they were assigned to garrison in various cities.

With the help of Gao Yungong, the former king of Goguryeo, the originally fragmented Goguryeo began to slowly return to normal, and the fleeing officials returned to their respective yamen.

The remaining tens of thousands of soldiers had their weapons confiscated and were temporarily detained by Huluxu's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

At the same time, Jiaxiong also sent messengers to Silla and Baekje to persuade them to surrender, making these two small countries even more vulnerable.

In the past, Goguryeo beat and kicked them. If King Gao Yungong was in a bad mood one day, he would send people to beat Silla and Baekje to vent his anger.

Seeing Goguryeo being annihilated by the Western Liang army, the two small countries became even more spineless. As soon as they received the letter of surrender, they immediately surrendered and sent the letter of surrender to the Western Liang army camp in Pingcheng.

"These guys."

Jiaxiong received the letter of surrender and showed a helpless smile on his face. Forget it, now there is no reason to destroy the country.

The main reason was that Silla and Baekje had already been terrified by the sight of Goguryeo being beaten so badly by the ferocious Western Liang army, so they dared not resist.

Heavenly Army.

In the eyes of small countries like Silla and Baekje, the Xiliang cavalry is now a heavenly army with supreme majesty, whose anger can turn thousands of miles into red land.

Liaodong County was established on the land of Goguryeo, and in the future it would be the naval camp of Xiliang.

Many things need to be dealt with, but fortunately there are more than 100,000 troops stationed here, and there is also Gao Yungong, the former king of Goguryeo.

Soon, the docks and shipyards in Gaoyun City started working hard to build warships.

Half a month later, the officials and craftsmen from Xiliang arrived in Pingcheng smoothly.

The county seat of Liaodong County was designated Pingcheng, and Jiaxiong was temporarily appointed as the governor of Liaodong County, in charge of all affairs.

Then they began to relocate people from Xia Pi, Shangdang and the Northern Wei territory. Plans for these things had been made long ago.

Once they conquered Goguryeo, they began to move forward in an orderly manner, with a large number of Xiliang people entering Liaodong. It was the same old routine.

Goguryeo was only one state in size, so it was hard to imagine how much trouble it would cause. The Goguryeo people and nobles had long been frightened by the Western Liang cavalry, so they dared not jump out and cause chaos.

July.

Xiao Han and Ning Xi returned to Shuiyun Mountain. Before they had time to rest, they were called by Miaoyu to the Military and Political Department to discuss matters.

The cause was the memorial submitted by Jiaxiong from Liaodong, in which he reported many issues that needed to be resolved urgently.

In short, they want both people and money, and are urging Shui Yunshan to quickly send someone who is familiar with naval warfare to serve as the naval general.

"How is Luo Daoxin?"

Xiao Han quickly read through the memorial and proposed his own candidate, "This guy has the ability, and he was originally from the Jizhou navy, and is good at naval warfare."

"feasible."

After Miaoyu and Guo Tu discussed it, they also felt that Luo Daoxin was the most suitable candidate. They immediately wrote out the appointment document, stamped it with the seal of the King of Xiliang, and gave it to Luo Daoxin, urging him to go to Liaodong as soon as possible.

In the process of destroying Goguryeo, the Western Liang army suffered heavy losses, with 10,000 elite soldiers killed and more than 30,000 injured.

Subsequent compensation also needs to be processed.

Xiao Han thought he could be lazy, but there were too many things piling up in the past few months that needed to be dealt with.

There was no other way but to go through several rounds of consultation before I finally dealt with the mountain of memorials.

"worn out."

He lay in a chair, muttering, "This life is unbearable."

Miaoyu came in holding a thick stack of official documents, looked at Xiao Han, and said with pursed lips: "Sir, don't be lazy, the list of candidates for this year's imperial examination is out."

Speaking of the imperial examination, the murderer was no longer sleepy. He immediately became interested. He sat down at the table, took the paper and started to read it.

"Huiyuan, Su Linglong."

His eyelids twitched wildly, and he turned his head to look at Miaoyu and said, "Is this first prize guaranteed?"

"The examiners are Yuan Shao, Master Xun, Mr. Guo, Luo Wentong and nine others."

Miaoyu rolled her eyes and said, "Su Linglong's essay was selected by nine people after they reviewed the papers. Do you think it will be published?"

"I didn't realize that girl was so talented."

Xiao Han muttered, then picked up Su Linglong's article and read it carefully. It must be said that her writing skills are really good. Many of the governance viewpoints proposed in the article are extremely novel, and the DNA is also very reasonable and can be adopted.

“Good writing.”

Even someone as picky as Xiao Han thought it was very good after watching it.

"August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Palace Examination."

Miaoyu said: "When the time comes, you can ask Sister Su privately whether she wants to enter the main courtyard or go to the Xiliang Prefecture government office, or to the Military and Political Department or Tongwen Temple for further study."

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Han teased.

"Let's go to the main courtyard. We are still short of manpower, and having more sisters will help us out."

“The article is well written.”

He shook his head: "But many of my views are superficial. For the time being, I am not qualified to join the military administration department or the provincial government."

"Liaodong County seems to be short of people, so let her go to Liaodong to try. Those who excel in the palace examination will be sent to various counties to gain experience."

"If you do well, you will be transferred back to Xiliang, so that you won't become too self-sufficient and lose your footing in the future."
