Neither the second prince nor the fifth prince attended this meeting, so they don't know how the Gao royal family will deal with it. When they know, the list will be sorted out soon.
They will follow the army back to the Central Plains, and then separate halfway, and the selected ones will go all the way south. It just so happens that it will be spring when they arrive at the place, and they can divide the land for farming.
Niu Cishi and Xue Gui came back with soldiers and horses, and then the emperor gave them more soldiers and horses, and asked them to go south and east in two ways, and take down all the cities with the letter of surrender of King Goguryeo. up.
By the time Silla and Baekje received the news, Niu Shishi had already taken over Pyongyang.
The king of Silla and the king of Baekje were shocked, and quietly reached out to collect some small towns on the border, and at the same time sent people to the inner city to meet the emperor with the letter of credence and tribute.
But faster than their envoys were the impeachment papers of Xue Gui and Niu Cishi.
Do you think they won't know if you reach out quietly
No one is a fool. Before they came out, they got the territory map given by the King of Goguryeo, in which the cities and places captured by the two countries before Qiuqian had been removed.
That’s all for Silla, anyway, it has always respected Dajin, Dajin asked him to send troops, and he also sent troops. Let go with one eye closed.
But what about Baekje
Therefore, before Baekje's letter of credence arrived in the domestic city, Dajin's reprimanding edict arrived in Baekje first.
The emperor counted their crimes and asked them to return the Goguryeo land they occupied during this period to Niu Cishi, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
As for Silla, the emperor did not reprimand them aloud, and returned something to them after accepting their credentials and tributes.
Baekje was extremely aggrieved, but Niu Shishi's soldiers and horses had taken Pyongyang and went south, staying directly at the border, frightened by the majesty of the Jin Dynasty, they had to retreat and leave, and returned the city they had just occupied to the Jin Dynasty.
At this point, Da Jin really took back all the Kingdom of Goguryeo.
Through discussions with Zhao Guogong and others, the emperor set up the Governor's Mansion of Gewu Prefecture, the Governor's Mansion of Liaocheng Prefecture, the Governor's Mansion of Jian'anzhou, and the Governor's Mansion of Andong on the land of Goguryeo.
The reason why the governor's mansion was set up instead of the prefectures and counties was because these places were easy to conquer. Although the emperor of the forces in the jurisdiction had removed some of them, there were still many leaders.
Even when Goguryeo was there, it was difficult for them to bypass these local leaders and directly govern local government affairs, and the local people were more willing to obey the leadership and orders of the leaders.
And these leaders and the people under their jurisdiction have close relatives. The emperor can move some landlords, officials and wealthy businessmen to the inland, but it is difficult to move these ethnic leaders.
Otherwise, a place that is not peaceful until it is pacified is afraid that war will break out again.
Therefore, after consulting a large amount of information and fully understanding with the old officials of Goguryeo, the civil officials headed by Bai Shan suggested that the emperor should rule safely, and then slowly map out these leaders and people after they are sufficiently Sinicized in the future.
The emperor agreed after thinking about it all night, so he set up the governor's mansion in the three places, and selected the local leader as the leader.
Among them, the governor of Jian'an Prefecture Dudu Mansion was the original city lord of Jian'an City. This city lord is very interesting. From the beginning of the battle, he has been hiding in the city with the soldiers, horses and people of Jian'an City.
Whether Liaodong City in the northeast or Anshi City in the east were attacked and asked for help, he ignored him. Even the inner city was besieged, and King Goguryeo issued the will of King Qin, and he remained motionless.
Although the emperor felt that this person was not a loyal person, after learning about the current situation of Jian'an City, he felt that he was still responsible for the people under his command, so he still appointed him as the governor of Jian'an Prefecture.
But for a large piece of land to the south of Anshi City, the emperor was unwilling to set up the Dudu Mansion.
Bai Shan also thought that these governors need to be supervised, so he proposed: "Why don't your majesty set up a governor's residence?"
The Governor's Mansion and the Protectorate's Mansion are the same in court level, but the relevant policies are not the same at all.
The governor of the governor's mansion is usually served by the local leader. As long as no serious mistakes are made, their family can still be hereditary. The military and politics under their jurisdiction are managed by themselves, and to a certain extent they still have the right to appoint and dismiss. It's almost there.
It's just that the emperor divided the territory that belonged to King Goguryeo into four, and selected someone who was not from the Gao family as the leader, and the Dudu Mansion had to register the household registration of the people under its jurisdiction and pay taxes to the court;
But the guards in the Duhu Mansion are dispatched by the imperial court, and the army is also dispatched by the imperial court, so they have stronger control over them.
The reason why Chen Bing set up the Andong Governor's Mansion on the southernmost side beyond the above three governor's mansions was to deter Silla and Baekje, and also cut off the connection between the above three governor's mansions and Silla and Baekje.
The Duhu Mansion has the responsibility of "comforting the vassals and calming the foreign bandits". It has great power, has military power in its hands, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
The emperor was distressed for several days and failed to choose a suitable candidate.
He saw that Bai Shan's injury seemed to be almost healed, and most of the imperial edicts these days were written by him, so he brought him in for questioning, "Who do you think is suitable for the court of Anton's Protectorate?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, why not ask who is willing to take the position first."
The emperor said: "The frontier officials of the third grade, they still don't like it?"
Bai Shan said: "Your Majesty, Anton is too far away."
"Is there An Xiyuan?"
"So how many ministers in the court are willing to go to Anxi?"
The emperor choked. When he sent his nephew to Anxi Dufu Mansion, didn't the members of the Chai family cry quietly
The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "Is there always someone willing to go?"
"Of course there are, but those who are willing to go may not be suitable to come," Bai Shan said, "Your Majesty, Goguryeo was only conquered, and Silla and Baekje are not kind people. Those who come must know how to command soldiers and govern the region." , so that this area can be peaceful as soon as possible. But in addition, this person must be loyal to the imperial court, otherwise... "
Otherwise, in a few decades, Anton would no longer be the Anton they just captured.
The emperor naturally knew this, and this was where he hesitated. He asked: "Since you can ask these questions, you obviously have a solution. Let's talk about it."
Bai Shan suggested Niu Cishi, "He has made meritorious service in this battle, and His Majesty has seen his ability. He has the ability to command troops and govern the country. Why not use him?"
The emperor: "Yingzhou is a lower state, and the governor is only a fifth-rank official. This time, he jumped four ranks?"
Bai Shan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty judges talents by human factors, why should you stick to grades?"
The emperor pondered.
He originally wanted to pick someone from among the officials in the capital, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pick someone suitable, Niu Cishi... it was barely feasible.
But the emperor didn't make a decision right away, and waved to Bai Shan: "I see, you should step down first."
Bai Shan stood up and retreated.
