The Heishui Mohe was one of the three major Mohe tribes in Liaodong. The Suomo Mohe established the Bohai Kingdom, which has now been destroyed. The Suomo Mohe has disappeared as a nation, and all of them have changed their nationality to Han.

There was also a Baishan Mohe, part of whom was killed by the Silla people, and the other part joined the Bohai Kingdom and eventually changed their nationality to Han.

Now there is only one Heishui Mohe left.

Zhang Dian, the governor of Liaoxi, received two major tasks from the emperor. One was to establish the Liaoxi Ranch, which became one of the seven ranches of the court.

The seven ranches of the court were a long-term plan of the court, which was actually being implemented. At present, two ranches have been established, the Hexi Ranch and the Hehuang Ranch, and the Liaoxi Ranch and the Yunzhong Ranch are being implemented.

There are also three long-term ranches, the Jinghai Ranch, the Jinshan Ranch and the Yili Ranch. The Jingshan Ranch here is today's Hokkaido Ranch, where only a very small number of Mao people live.

Once the seven ranches are established, they will supply a large amount of meat to the army and the people, which will completely improve the dietary structure of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty.

And destroying the Shiwei tribe and the Heishui Mohe is Zhang Dian's second major task. Without the Shiwei tribe and the Heishui Mohe, there would be no tragic history of the Song Dynasty.

According to the court's sixteen-character policy of pacifying the Hu, "eradicate the nobles, sinicize the common people, register the people, divide and rule."

Zhang Dian's first target was the Heishui Mohe. The Heishui Mohe was divided into ten tribes, six of which had been annexed by the Bohai Kingdom. There were three small tribes living on Sakhalin Island, and the largest Heishui tribe lived on the south bank of the Heishui River, making a living by fishing and hunting.

Although the Heishui tribe was the largest, it did not have many people, only more than 6,000 households, less than 30,000 people, divided into six small gathering tribes, distributed within a range of 300 miles.

The reason why the population of the Heishui Mohe tribe could not grow was directly related to life expectancy. Although the birth rate was high, the mortality rate was also high. Only three out of ten children could survive, and the rest would die of illness.

Another big problem was that the life expectancy was very short. The nobles could live longer, forty or fifty years old, but the lower-class people basically did not live to forty years old.

But such an inconspicuous small fishing and hunting nation was able to destroy the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty two hundred years later.

That morning, ten thousand-man teams of the Tang army surrounded the Heishui tribe from six directions. Within a range of three hundred miles, ten Tang troops simultaneously launched an attack on the Mohe Heishui tribe.

Countless Tang troops suddenly rushed into the quiet tribe, and there was chaos with people crying for their parents.

Women stumbled and hid with their children, and men fought hard, but were mercilessly beheaded by Tang soldiers. All the tribes were in chaos.

In the largest settlement tribe, the chieftain Wusukoumeng was discussing countermeasures with several elders. They had received two consecutive migration notices from the Tang army, requiring them to migrate immediately to the former Khitan settlement area.

Wusukoumeng refused outright. In their view, being forced to migrate was no different from destroying the country.

But Wusukoumeng also knew the horror of the Tang army. He was very anxious and eager to find a solution.

"All tribes in Liaodong have been destroyed. Now it's finally our turn, the Heishui Mohe. I plan to lead my tribe to migrate northward. What do you think?"

An old man said slowly: "The north is too cold, much colder than here. There is no way to survive in winter. I stayed in the north for a year and almost froze to death in winter."

"What should we do?"

Usu Komon was immediately anxious, "I don't want to go south, and I can't go north. Let's talk about a more reliable way!"

Another old man said: "Go east! Go to the seaport. Didn't the Junli tribe get annexed by the Bohai Kingdom? Its position should be vacant, and we can migrate there."

Everyone agreed, and Usu Komon also thought it was feasible, so he made a final decision, "Then migrate eastward!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden chaos outside, and shouts of killing were heard from afar. Everyone in the big tent looked at each other.

At this time, a tribe member ran in and said: "Chief, the Tang army is coming."

Usu Komon stood up and rushed out directly.

I saw countless Tang cavalrymen running back and forth in the camp, waving swords and spears to kill his soldiers. His soldiers were no match at all and were killed one after another.

Wu Su Ke Meng shouted, rushed to his tent, jumped on his horse, and rushed towards the Tang army with a spear in his hand.

At this time, the Tang cavalry found him, and dozens of cavalrymen surrounded him. Wu Su Ke Meng stabbed three Tang cavalrymen in a row, but two fists could not beat four hands. He was pierced by dozens of spears of the Tang cavalry and fell off his horse and died tragically.

None of the eight elders survived, and all were shot and killed by the Tang cavalry in the melee.

In less than a morning, the raid was over. The 26,000 survivors were all captured, thousands of young and strong men who resisted were killed, and all the noble men were also killed.

More than 26,000 people sat in carts, carrying their meager property, and were escorted by the Tang army to migrate south.

The Tang army dispersed them all and settled them in the former Bohai Kingdom, where they lived with the people of Bohai Kingdom. They gave them land, food and farm tools, taught them how to farm, and gradually transformed them from fishing and hunting people to farming people.

Perhaps because of their small number, it didn't take long. Five years later, this group of Mohe people living in the middle reaches of the Black Water disappeared in the long river of history.

It was already late September, and all 300,000 Han people who migrated from Hebei had been settled in Liaodong. This was also because Liaodong had fertile land, vast land and sparse population, and had enough resources for settlement.

Three hundred thousand people were basically settled in Yingzhou, concentrated near Liucheng County and Andong County. There were large tracts of farmland and rivers here. With the help of the Tang army, the people built houses and transported a large number of furniture from several abandoned cities of Silla to the people. Each family was also given a working ox and a mule.

The Bailang River has been renamed Beiji River. There are hundreds of villages on both sides of the Beiji River. Nearly 200,000 people are distributed on both sides of the Beiji River. Liucheng has returned to its heyday.

Nearly 100,000 people were settled in Andong County, which was the last location of Andong Protectorate, which is Jinzhou in later generations. It is currently the largest port in Liaodong. A large amount of food and supplies are unloaded here and distributed to Andong County and Liucheng County, and finally distributed to every household.

Another 20,000 people were settled in the Liaodong Peninsula. Although it is a bit remote, each household is given an extra 50 acres of land, which still attracts many people to migrate there.

In this way, together with the families of the army, the Han people in the three major settlements multiplied and spread in Liaodong. As the population increased, the settlements gradually spread to the north and east.

A hundred years later, the first county town, Heishui County, finally appeared on the banks of the Heishui River in the north, with a population of more than 30,000.

In the morning, Gao Shi sat in the waiting area outside the censor's room, waiting to be received with anxiety.

He had previously followed the retired emperor Li Dai to various places to investigate education, and was originally prepared to devote himself to the cause of education. Unexpectedly, he just received news that the emperor summoned him and was ready to appoint him to another position.

Gao Shi was already in his early sixties. He followed Li Ye to Suiye that year, but unfortunately he had the wrong mentality and only regarded Suiye as a springboard to enter the officialdom.

He only stayed in Suiye for a year before returning to serve as the Sima of Qingzhou. Then the crown prince Li Heng went to Shuofang and passed by Qingzhou, which became a turning point in Gao Shi's life. He became a staff member of the new emperor and served as the governor of Huainan to stabilize Jianghuai.

Unfortunately, after Li Fuguo came to power, Gao Shi lost his power and soon sat on the bench. He was promoted to Meizhou by Li Fuguo and served as the county magistrate of Tongyi County.

He waited until Li Ye ascended the throne and Li Dai became the emperor. Gao Shi's fate began to change with his deep friendship with Li Dai.

Gao Shi was summoned by the emperor, and he felt ashamed. Li Ye was his old boss. If he had always followed him, he would at least be the Minister of Personnel, or even the left and right prime minister.

But there was no regret medicine, and he didn't know why the emperor summoned him.

At this time, Wei Gao came up and whispered: "Envoy Gao, please follow me!"

Gao Shi got up and followed Wei Gao into the imperial study. The emperor Li Ye was looking at him with a smile.

Gao Shi bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I, Gao Shi, greet you!"

"Empress Gao, I haven't seen you for many years, please sit down!"

The last time they met was in Jiangning. Li Ye went to Jiangnan to sell jade pieces and official kiln porcelain for money and met Gao Shi, who was then the governor of Huainan.

Gao Shi sat down, and Li Ye asked with a smile, "How is your health now, Envoy Gao?"

"Your Majesty, I am still relatively healthy!"

Gao Shi looked very thin, but he was in good spirits and looked very good.

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "I asked Envoy Gao to come because I have a new business that I want to give to you!"

Gao Shi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your orders. I will do my best to serve you!"
