The prisoners of war now live a very comfortable life, work and eat, do not have to worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation, as long as they do not make trouble, they will not be whipped, and they have the opportunity to be free if they work hard.
A few days after Chen Ke returned to Lanzhou, he had already taken the current situation, and he couldn't accept that Lanzhou could develop like this in a short period of time, and he saw the busy people coming and going on the streets every day, just like being in Chang'an City.
In the eyes of these generals, it is very troublesome to carry prisoners of war, and besides, these prisoners of war are all dead in battle, and it is easier to carry them, and those who are alive will delay things, but Li Jing gave an order that those who can live will not be allowed to die, and unless it is a battlefield fight, it is not allowed to execute prisoners of war without permission.
Li Jing gave a death order, no matter who broke the rules, he would be punished by military law.
These people who lead troops to fight are not soft-hearted, and although they are troublesome, they have to do things according to orders.
At this time, Li Jing, who was in Tuyuhun, was also depressed, and he received a letter from Li Shimin, asking for as many prisoners of war as possible, and it was very difficult to do this matter with the temperament of the soldiers.
But in the end, they were left behind, and a large number of prisoners of war began to be escorted to Lanzhou.
Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses were even more depressed, usually the Tang people came to fight a fight, and retreated after victory, but this time things were completely different, the army not only captured a large number of prisoners of war, but also escorted them together with the local people.
All the property of the people was looted, and the plundering of several years was all exchanged for this time.
Tuyuhun's generals were in a hurry, and they also sent envoys to Tubo to move rescue troops.
The Tibetan soldiers and horses were strong in combat, and every time the Tang people sent troops to attack Tuyuhun, they would strengthen their defenses, and there were fierce conflicts between the two places on the one hand, and even then the conflicts were constant.
Tuyuhun's requests were rejected at that time, but Tubo did not object to Tuyuhun attaching to them, and nominally the Tang people would not attack Tubo, but this time they were wrong.
When the leader of Tuyuhun fled to Tubo, he did not send envoys to discuss with them, so he directly sent troops to fight on the grounds that Fanbang had repeatedly invaded and harassed the people of the Tang Dynasty.
In the fierce battle between the two sides, it was impossible to estimate that Tubo was no better than Tuyuhun, even if the artillery was strong, but due to the vast land and sparsely populated area, it still did not penetrate into the hinterland quickly, but only defeated a few slightly larger tribes.
The Tang army was preparing for the aftermath of Tuyuhun, a large number of people began to move to Lanzhou, Tuyuhun was destroyed, the war report was transmitted to Chang'an as soon as possible, Li Shimin was very happy and immediately asked someone to draw up a holy decree to cancel the name of Tuyuhun from then on, and restored the four counties of Heyuan, Xihai, Shanshan, and the end of the Sui Dynasty in the local area, and the original population of Tuyuhun was temporarily supplemented to Lanzhou, arranged by Yuanshan of the Ministry of Economic Development.
As for the cattle, horses and sheep, most of them were all transported to the expanded Hezhou, and there were also Tuhun tribes handed over to the Tang Dynasty to breed in the four counties, the form was similar to contract breeding, as for their private cattle, horses, sheep and soldiers were not confiscated, but the commodity transaction should be in accordance with the rules of the Tang Dynasty, there will be a certain amount of commercial tax and priority to buy and sell to the imperial court.
It took only two months to recover the Tuyuhun area, and the population of the migrating population was as much as 140,000, and the seized cattle, horses and sheep were countless, which were not transported to Chang'an but continued to be raised.
The merchants knew that the price of cattle and horses at this time would definitely be very low, because these were all trophies, so the merchants made up their minds, but Yuanshan really did not allow these materials to be sold privately.
As a result, a large number of cattle and horse dealers who came to Lanzhou were helpless.
With cattle and horses, frames were built, and a large number of camels were formed, and several large caravans were formed to trade in the surrounding area. 140,000 Tuhun people work in Lanzhou, according to the previous said that good performance can return its freedom, the first person really appeared, good performance, hard-working, conscientious and really released and Yuan Shan personally invited him to join the construction team as a site team leader.
"Can I release my family?"
Hearing the translator say this request called Nuo Nan, Yuan Shan immediately agreed, and said: "Of course, if you are willing to submit to Datang, you are the people of Datang, your family will be proud of your achievements, and this official will find a good job for your family, as long as you pay for Datang, Datang will not treat you badly." ” The man knelt down as soon as he heard the translation.
Datang's kneeling salute is very formal, looking at the other party like this, Yuan Shan is expressionless, there is no way, he is not a god, he can't change many things, he just wants to be able to guide.
Then I heard the other party say a lot of words, but Wonshan didn't understand it at all, and he could only wait for the translator to know that it was some words of thanks.
Nuo Nan's matter spread quickly, especially the daily income of Nuo Nan's family is very objective, and there is no need to worry about being bullied at all, you can also learn knowledge, you can buy any commodity in Datang with money, and the price is the same as that of Tang people, and it will not be treated differently.
Although there were many people who were moved, most of them were silent, and the first promise to be made to release them was to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and log in to the hometowns of various state capitals, and to obey the arrangements and assign jobs.
Abide by the Datang system, and you can't leave the four counties to go to Fanbang, and there is basically no change outside the area.
More than 100,000 people have no food if they don't work, all their private property has been confiscated, and it is simply impossible to flee to Tibet, where cattle, horses, and alpacas are not controlled by the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and they can only rely on labor in exchange for remuneration and freedom.
There are not many people who are as rational as Nuo Nan, and more people are still depressed by the demise of Tuyuhun, this mood has lasted for a long time, but there has been no too radical conflict, and the troublemakers and those suspected of making trouble were taken away as soon as possible, and no one knows how it happened.
"With the Tuhun people to join the construction, the work of leveling the road and the progress of clearing the fields is completed very quickly, and the surrounding areas of Lanzhou are almost handled, although the progress of the construction period is very fast, but the Ministry of Economic Development needs to provide 140,000 people of food, and the logistics are under great pressure."
Yu Jingming said.
"It's already the cheapest labor, so we can't let them go hungry."
Yuan Shan said.
"I mean, there's no need to give them too much food, three meals with one meat, and a limit to their working hours no more than five hours, isn't it too good for them."
Yu Jingming said.
In fact, the Turkic prisoners of war did not treat you so well, and there was still a big gap between the treatment of the two groups of people in terms of food.
