Goguryeo suddenly erupted with great enthusiasm, and the whole country was united in rolling up their sleeves and doing a great job.
The king of Goguryeo ordered to recruit 300,000 people from all over the country to go to the east bank of the Liao River to build the Great Wall.
Gao Jianwu said that this was for the sake of Goguryeo's national peace and security, and to avoid the encroachment of the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone should work hard, and the government and people everywhere should actively cooperate.
For the Goguryeo people, this was a big project.
Goguryeo occupied Liaodong for more than 200 years and built hundreds of mountain cities, large and small, but after all, it took more than 200 years to build them one after another.
And now, the king said that it will take three years to integrate the entire mountain city on the east bank of the Liao River.
To make the Tang army helpless in front of this iron wall.
The people were recruited, money and grain were transferred, and the whole of Goguryeo was mobilized.
Not only that, but the entire Liaodong defense line is still sending additional troops and horses.
According to Ezhi Wende's proposal, 5,000 soldiers should be stationed in each of the nine major cities, and 20,000 reserves should be trained around each major city.
Yuan Taizuo proposed to go to Liaodong City in person to preside over the defense, and Yizhi Wende unsurprisingly objected.
According to the new consensus reached by the imperial court, the center of gravity of Goguryeo this year is all in Liaodong.
The DPRK sent an important minister to lead the entire Liaodong defense line.
It was a mountain city of hundreds of sizes, with 45,000 permanent troops and 180,000 reserves.
Even later, all kinds of grain and grass equipment will be continuously transported to Liaodong.
The 300,000 people who repaired the city alone were quite amazing.
With such a force, where can Gao Jianwu rest assured that Yuan Taizuo's strength will be sent to Liaodong to preside.
Yizhi Wende personally went out, and there is no more suitable person than Yuan Taizuo, Yuan Taizuo's status is there, fortunately, Yizhi Wende is a military meritorious, and he is an important minister of the court.
He went in person, and Yuan Taizuo couldn't object.
In this way, the matter was settled, and Yuan Taizuo was still in Pyongyang, assisting the king Gao Jianwu, and at the same time responsible for raising grain, grass and ordnance, and responsible for the defense of Pyongyang.
Yizhi Wende served as the governor of Liaodong and was in charge of the Liaodong defense line.
In addition, Liang Wanchun, who was also from the five major tribes and had a discordant relationship with the Yuan clan, was promoted to be the lord of the west, and was the deputy of Ezhi Wende, responsible for the southern section of the Liaodong defense line, and the northern section was personally responsible for Ezhi Wende.
Letting the military leader of the northern tribe, Yuan Taizuo, stay in the dynasty and be responsible for the defense of the south is also a good plan for Gao Jianwu and Yizhi Wende.
After all, the south is the territory of the royal family and the royalists, and even if Yizhi Wende goes to Liaodong, there is still the royal army.
Yuan Taizuo was nominally in charge of the defense of the south, but in fact the military power in the south was still in the hands of the royal family and the imperial court.
"The minister will go to Liaodong, set out the defense, build the Great Wall, make the Liaohe defense line an iron wall, and refuse the Tang Dynasty from the country."
Ulji Wende stood at the gate of Pyongyang City, and exchanged words to Gao Jianwu, who came to see him off, "Your Majesty must beware of Yuan Taizuo, and you must guard against this old thief from doing bad things." ” Gao Jianwu held Yizhi Wende's hand, "Aiqing is going, and Liaodong will be handed over to you."
As for Pyongyang, you can rest assured.
The Yuan clan is in the north, and he doesn't have much strength in Pyongyang.
The south is still under the control of the imperial court, and the old thief does not dare to mess around.
Although the last expedition to the west failed, fortunately, the Yuan clan also suffered a great loss in strength. ” "Qing is going to Liaodong, remember to take the opportunity to integrate the various tribes in Liaodong, if you can get the support of the Liaodong tribes and the city lords, then the court will exert its strength, and the Yuan clan and its rebellious people can be completely eradicated."
They have been plotting to get rid of the Yuan clan, I don't know how long.
When Yuan Taizuo's father was born, he was already above the royal family, and it was a public fact that the Yuan clan was not able to lose his tail, and several generations of kings wanted to get rid of the Yuan clan, but they were not capable.
"The old thief is willing to give up the position of Liaodong host this time, which makes Gu a little surprised."
Yizhi Wende also felt strange, "The minister estimated that it was because of the great loss of the Yuan clan last time, and even his favorite Yuan Gaijin was captured by the Tang people, and I heard that he was also cut off a hand, which is estimated to have greatly affected the old thief."
Moreover, presiding over Liaodong is not a very easy matter, and the old thief may not have the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
We are on the front line in Liaodong, but the old thief secretly protects his strength, and his scheming is also very deep. ” "The old thief."
Gao Jianwu sighed.
"In short, the king is in Beijing, just guard against old thieves.
As soon as the old thief dares to make a move, His Majesty will immediately send someone to summon him, and the minister will immediately lead his troops back to King Qin."
"Etoji Wende is gone" In the secret room of the Yuan clan, Yuan Gaijin asked his father who came in.
"Well, let's go.
This thief still thinks that he has taken a big advantage, but he does not know that he has fallen for our plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. ” Yuan Gaijin smiled bitterly.
"It's Li Chao's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain."

The plan was advancing step by step according to Li Chao's plan, but Yuan Gaijin was not happy.
The more smoothly the plan went through, the more he felt powerless about Li Chao.
Everything is in Li Chao's calculations, and Li Chao's plan in the Central Plains made the entire Goguryeo dance for it.
Now Goguryeo is bent on building the defense of the Liao River, not only requisitioning 300,000 young men to build the Great Wall, but also transferring a large number of materials to the past.
Not to mention, the Liaohe defense line had to garrison 50,000 standing troops and train 180,000 reserves.
"Goguryeo is finished."
Yuan Gaijin sighed.
Yuan Taizuo's second son, Yuan Pure Land, said disapprerovantly, "It's only Gao Jianwu who is finished, and my Yuan clan will not finish."
When Goguryeo died, the Korean state of our Yuan family was established. ” Yuan Gaijin did not refute the young brother's words.
But he knew that after hundreds of years of founding, Goguryeo, which stood proudly in Liaodong, had really come to an end.
Goguryeo was deceived by Li Chao from top to bottom.
They really thought that the Tang Dynasty was going to attack Goguryeo in a big way, and they thought that they would come from Liaoxi like the Sui.
Li Chao asked his father to come forward and come up with the plan for the Great Wall of Liaodong, and the deceived Liaodong sent all the power of the country to repair the Great Wall of Liaodong and garrison Liaodong.
Although Pyongyang still has 20,000 royal troops and many royalist troops loyal to the imperial court, these soldiers cannot be compared with the soldiers sent to Liaodong to garrison them.
Even if Li Chao did not come from the sea, Goguryeo wanted to build the Great Wall of Liaodong and maintain the defense of Liaodong, and the manpower and material resources invested were huge.
The whole country built the Great Wall, and half of the troops defended Liaodong.
The Tang army did not need to attack, and if it dragged on for a few years, Goguryeo would have to weaken.
So many young people go to repair the city to guard the border, who will plough the fields and who will graze "The trade winds are rising, and the Tang State Sailor is only afraid that it will come."
Yuan Taizuo also sighed a little.
Although Yuan Gaijin is now hiding in the secret room of the Yuan family, he is the liaison between Li Chao and the Yuan family, and someone outside is helping him collect intelligence and pass on information.
But he didn't know when Li Chao would come, and he didn't receive any news about it at all.
Dengzhou, Huaibei Province.
Dengzhou, Penglai Water City.
Li Chao sat on the nine-story bell and drum tower in the water city, looking at the dock and military port in the distance.
In the past two years, more and more Dao of Datang has been established, although the Dao is still virtual, and most of the officials are temporary supervision and special assignments, but above the county and state, a new level of administrative organs has indeed been added.
However, although the establishment of many provinces is roughly the same as that of later provinces, there are many differences in names.
For example, Huaibei Road, which was Shandong in later generations.
But in today's Datang, there is also Shandong Road, but it is on the Hubei side.
There is also Shanxi, but it is in Hanzhong, Guizhou, Hunan.
In later generations, Shandong Shanxi had another name in Datang, Shandong was called Huaibei Road, and Shanxi was called Hedong Road.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are called Jiangdong, but Jiangxi is still called Jiangxi.
Guangdong and Guangxi are called Lingdong and Lingxi, and Jiaozhou is called Vietnam.
In addition, Shuofang, Suiyuan, Hexi and other Taoist names are also unprecedented in later generations.
But these changes are nothing, just names.
The real change is still such as the Denglai Water City in front of you.
Dengzhou, located on the tip of the Shandong Peninsula in later generations, has now become an important shipyard of Li Kee Shipyard, and has also become the home port of the Royal Naval Commander Fubo Fleet.
In addition, it is close to the mouth of the Yellow River, so it has become one of the most lively commercial ports today.
Dengzhou Port, Yangzhou Port, Hangzhou Port, Fuzhou Port, Guangzhou Port, Jiaozhou Port, the six most prosperous seaports in Datang, and Dengzhou Port is the only northern seaport.
Every day, countless mercancies are brought in from the southern sea, and then disembarked or transferred to other ships into the Yellow River or Jishui.
Many commercial goods from the north along the Yellow River were also shipped here, loaded from the wharf, and sold to Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Dongying, and the south.
It's a vibrant port city that's bustling day and night.
What was once a small city is now a top city in the Tang Dynasty with a population of more than 100,000.
"This trade wind has risen, and the ships going to Silla in the South China Sea have already left the port one after another, when will we leave?"
asked Cheng Yanjin with a slightly sweaty forehead.
The sea breeze in Denglai makes Cheng Yanjin more accustomed to it, and it is more comfortable than Chang'an and Xiangyang, after all, it is only a few hundred miles away from his hometown.

But it's boring to stay here every day.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and he is still staying here, although it is surprisingly lively, and it is comfortable to stay.
Merchants from all over the world, even those blonde and blue-eyed merchants, orchids from the Western Regions in wine shops, Silla maidservants, and Dongying maids.
But he still wanted to go to sea.
"I want to sail to the sea, too, but it's not that I haven't recruited enough manpower."
"If you are a thief, why is it so difficult to recruit a few people."
Cheng Yanjin complained.
Li Chao smiled bitterly, "It's not as simple as recruiting a few people, it's not just us who recruits." ” Since the beginning of the year, a large number of people from powerful families have come to Dengzhou, who have arrived, bought ships from the shipyard, and then recruited sailors.
Everyone originally thought that in half a year, the ship must be good and the crew and sailors were enough, and even thought that after recruiting good people, they would have to wait a few months before they could go to sea on the trade wind and plunder Liaodong.
It turned out that the money for the boat was paid, but you had to queue up to get the boat.
Even the money to pick up the ship can only be reduced from month to month, and it is not immediately available.
Even if you add a lot of money and get the boat, all you can get is an empty boat, and you have to decorate it, and you have to have the final accessories and other outfits.
The most frustrating thing is that you have to recruit the crew yourself.
It is more difficult to recruit a crew than buying a ship.
An experienced crew member is even more difficult.
Dengzhou College, a school specializing in training sailors and sailors, was opened by Lee Kee.
The college recruited a large number of young people, and even some fishermen and sailors who already had experience in sailing and sailing, and the college crammed for teaching.
But the first batch of trainees had already been signed by various merchant fleets with high salaries, and even the second and third batches were signed early.
Now don't say that you want to find a professional sailor from Dengzhou College, even an old fisherman can't find it.
In Dengzhou, it is difficult to find someone who can get on the boat these days.
Each family can only send people back to their hometowns, recruit people from their own estates, and then pay to send them to the academy for auditing and training.
Even Li Chao, he is also short of ships and people now.
The Li family's existing merchant ships are too late to make money by running those fixed routes for trade.
"Forget it, let's wait, it's a big deal not to go this year, and when the ship is built next year and the crew training is complete, then it's not too late for each family to go to sea together."
Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes, "I'm still waiting for next year's Lao Tzu to get moldy, no, don't you have a few boats, let's not wait, let's take the wind and run two trips to Goguryeo Shuang first." ” Let's talk about it, Li Chao doesn't know what to say.
"I can go alone, I don't need you to accompany me." t1706231537:
