Sweep the World

Chapter 467: : Northward and southward

Han is currently only a military power, and the people's livelihood is basically withered except for Qingzhou, but in general, the Han people living in it are happy to see the country's military strength.

The Han people are willing to see that the country pays more attention to the military for many reasons. They alone say that they have encountered the brutal rule of foreign races in the past few decades. Small households really have preferential treatment, and the **** is actually more like a disguised status people provide labor in exchange for two meals a day.

Liu Yan saw Xie Daoyun, nothing too special happened, just chat, ask interesting things along the way, and then parted.

"Uncle." Xie Daoyun was riding in the same carriage as Xie An. She looked at Xie An whose skin had turned black due to constant battles, and asked softly: "Has King Han always been so easy-going?"

It should be said that Xie Daoyun's first impression of Liu Yan was very good. Apart from Liu Yan's decent appearance, the most profound thing is that Liu Yan's character looks gentle and talkative, unlike some kings who only look at majesty.

"The king is really gentle with his ministers and workers." Xie An knew that Shi Hu provoked a racial vendetta when Liu Yan became angry. At other times, Liu Yan always seemed very indifferent. Unlike talking about the king too much, he said to Xie Daoyun, "I won't go back to the post house."

It was Linzi Ling Axiang's arrangement before, otherwise Xie Daoyun should indeed live in Xie An after arriving in Linzi.

"My uncle is going south soon?" Xie Daoyun's concern is not actually about the Civil War, nor does she doubt that Xie An will stick to her position in that war. She hasn't been very worried before, and she has really changed her mind after seeing Liu Yan. . She said, "Auntie will be in the capital, right?"

Xie An's wife is the Liu family, the sister of Liu from the Qing Tan family. She came from the south of the Yangtze River at the end of the second year of Yuanshuo, and she carried a lot of people and wealth, all of which were obtained from the family of the Xie family. They have been married for a long time and have no children.

In fact, the aristocratic families of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty basically got married very late, and it was even later in giving birth. It was often that two men and women from a family were married for many years before officially marrying. This led to the common situation of subduing the old and the young.

Xie An was a little bit melancholy about going south to participate in the invasion war, not only because the small governor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was Xie Shi, but also because the attitude of the Han Dynasty toward the southern families has become increasingly obvious.

Regarding how to treat the aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River after the invasion, the Han government decided to pull, fight, and kill a group. It is actually very clear who should be wooed, that is, who is useful to the Han army's southern invasion and is willing to take refuge, then who is the wooing target. There is no need to talk about fighting a batch and killing a batch.

What makes Xie An feel melancholy is that the center is very firm in the redistribution of resources in the South, so regardless of whether it is willing or not to be drawn in, the southern aristocratic family absolutely can no longer control huge resources.

Xie Daoyun stayed here in Xie's Mansion, and ignored what happened. The South's approval of Han Wang Liu Yan's marriage seemed very strange.

Han Wang Liu Yan had many interpretations on the marriage. What is certain is that no matter what the outcome of the Xie family's clan after this war, the Xie family must continue to be rich anyway. The group of people who originally wanted to marry a family girl, but later regretted it, waiting for the situation to develop into a moment when the Civil War is bound to break out, and they still don't know how bitter it is.

The season enters the beginning of spring, and the south is the first area to prepare for farming. From south to north, due to the change of climate, all regions enter the busy period of farming.

After the advent of spring, the stagnant Han troops on various fronts began to move south again. The total size reached more than 400,000, and the number of soldiers was no less than 200,000.

After a few months of buffering, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty tried its best to prepare for battle in the internal depletion. They deployed their forces according to the distribution of the Han army.

The movement of the Han army stationed along the Yangtze River is not difficult to detect. Xuzhou has one river, Yuzhou has the most troops, and the northern part of Jingzhou is also one.

After the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty repeatedly expanded its army, the number of troops belonging to the court increased from 200,000 to 360,000. Xie Shi commanded one hundred thousand tun and stationed along the Shouchun line, Wang Shan commanded fifty thousand troops to stationed along the northern line of Jingzhou, and the governor Chu Pai took the town of Jiankangyao to lead 150,000 defense along the Dantu line. The remaining troops need to defend the place, and they must guard against Zhu Yue and Zhu barbarians.

Speaking of it, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been suffering from all kinds of people's troubles. It is a problem left over from the period of the Eastern Wu. When the small court ruled the south, the chaos of Zhuyue was even worse, especially in the areas closer to the south. Human disturbances occur more frequently, mainly concentrated in Jian'an County (the whole province of Fujian and part of Zhejiang), southern Guangzhou (the whole province of Guangdong, part of Guangxi), and Jiaozhou (southern Vietnam).

The ethnic troubles of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were not only Zhuyue, but also the barbarians. The barbarians mentioned so far are more targeted. The north and west of Guangzhou (most of Guangxi), Gaizhou (Guizhou), and Ningzhou (Yunnan) are the most troubled, and chaos erupts from time to time.

The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty adopted two methods on Zhuyue and Zhuman. It was nothing more than pacifying and suppressing Zhuyue. For Zhuyue, it was more tempted and pacified, and Zhuyue was suppressed if there was chaos.

The Civil War is about to break out. Previously, Wang Shao (the son of Wang Dao and the brother of Wang Xi) led his army in the south, regardless of the season, in order to settle in the rear and prevent chaos in the rear when the war broke out on the northern front. It has to be said that Wang Shao is also a talker and calligrapher. He is a leader in the military, leading the army in battle and not personally directing the battle. It is the Wang family's trilogy (home general) that regulates and directs the army's operations. .

"The little court has been stabilizing the rear for almost six months..." Ji Chang seemed to have a sneer at the corner of his mouth before he continued: "I heard that the non-combat losses are great."

Today is the Xiaochao meeting. Of course, Liu Yan is sitting in the place where he should sit. The ministers and workers in the lower train are sitting on their knees.

The difference between the Xiaochaohui and the Dachaohui is that the scale of participants is not large. The chief officials of a department are mainly involved, unlike the high-ranking officials who were in the capital during the Dachaohui.

What is the deep impression of the Central Plains for the south? The dense water network is one, and the mountains, hills, and ridges are another. Since the first emperor formed the Southern Xinjiang Army to attack the southwest, he still added dense jungles and swamps and miasma everywhere in his mind.

"After the small imperial court moved to the south, the biggest victory to the outside world was to capture Jiaozhou and be included in its governance." Jiaozhou in the mouth of Sangyu was called Jiaozhi a long time ago. In the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it still belonged to the territory of the upper kingdom of the heaven, and it did not happen under the rule of Shixie. Split, Shishi did not fall behind but was independent by the local natives. During the Soochow Wu period, it was fought once and only partially recovered. It was really only when the small imperial court moved to the south that it was recovered. He said curiously: "I heard that there is a grain-producing area?"

Of course Liu Yan knows where Jiaozhou is. That place is really a big grain producing area. Rice can be grown three times a year. In addition to the fact that crops are easy to grow due to climate, Jiaozhou also has the largest deposit of anthracite in Asia and one of the world's top ten iron mines. The rest of the tree resources, copper resources, and silver resources are also very rich.

In fact, the coastal routes of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were very prosperous. There were countless ships passing along the South China Sea. During the famine, there were also incidents of transporting grain from Jiaozhou for emergency relief. In addition, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also established diplomatic relations with Funan and Linyi. Some of the pearls and corals used by families to fight for wealth came from trade with the two countries.

When the Han army wanted to attack the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, apart from placing a large army along the Yangtze River, the superiority of the sea would of course not be given up. Then it became necessary to understand the states and prefectures in the south of the small court.

The exploration of the sea route for the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the Han Kingdom began in the second year of Yuanshuo, mainly concentrated in Yangzhou of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, along the East China Sea. It was only in the third year of Yuanshuo that it approached Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou is within the territory of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Han army has landed many times to investigate inward, but it is discovered that there is actually a status quo of the autonomy of the Yue divisions.

"Sooner or later it will be ours." Huan Wen has already accepted the task of conquering the Li family, and Ningzhou is located in the northern part of Jiaozhou. After he completed the task of destroying Li's Chenghan, he continued to go south, with the goal of Ningzhou: "If the war goes well, please allow the ministers to push in."

Liu Yan of course attached importance to the invasion of the south of the Yangtze River, but he was somewhat uncertain about how fast or slow the war progressed.

The Han army will adopt multiple attack strategies. There are three locations along the Yangtze River. It can be confirmed that troops will be sent to the east of Yangzhou. Whether to land from Jiangzhou or not depends on the actual situation.

The territory occupied by Li's Cheng Han is not large, that is, the small area in the west of Shu and Jingzhou, which should have a military power of seven to eighty thousand.

Huan Wen started researching the attack on Li's Chenghan a few years ago. What is more entangled is that he studied from south to northwest, but he has never studied from north to south.

The land of Shu has always been the territory of the Central Plains dynasty since the pre-Qin era of the ancient Shu Kingdom. There are a lot of records in ancient books. It is not difficult to find the distribution of mountains and rivers from some maps. The first thing Huan Wen did after returning to Linzi to report his duties was Go to Shaofu.

Shaofu is a department that manages the emperor's private property. It has the largest collection of maps for various regions. After Huan Wen found a map about Shu, he began to research, and only then did the Han army go to the north of Jingzhou, and the other Han army to re-enter Guanzhong.

Liu Yan is very happy to see Huan Wen's ambitions high, but the terrain of Shu is already complicated, and it is easier to walk along the way, either through checkpoints or pass, it is really not easy to fight.

If you want to go from Shu to Ningzhou, the mountains you need to climb are more dangerous than from Guanzhong to Shu or from Jingzhou to Shu. In fact, there are plank roads and some historically opened roads between Guanzhong and Shu. The various dynasties did not pay attention to the entry of Shu to the southwest. If there is, it is also from Shu to Qian, and Qian... That is not the battlefield of the Huanwen army. .

At the end of the small dynasty meeting, Liu Yan needs to make the final preparations for his northwest trip, and the ministers and workers have their own tasks. For example, Xie An wants to go south, Huan Wen wants to enter Shu, and other people who need to accompany Liu Yan on tour should also arrange family affairs.

Liu Yan's tour was on February 2, but now there is no such thing as a dragon raising his head. It was a festival that only appeared after Wu Zetian came to power.

The patrol team is very large. Not only Liu Yan will lead his family, but Baiguan will also accompany the whole family. This is why Liu Yan has decided to temporarily move the central hub to Yecheng. The geographical location decides not only to pay attention to the war on the northern line, but also to communicate with the southern line much faster than in Linzi.

Linzi has only been a temporary capital for two years. There are no deep-rooted concepts, and there is no such environment for regional disputes, but there is not as much trouble as some dynasties have to change the capital. Liu Yan temporarily moved the central hub to Yecheng this time. Even though the palace facilities on the other side of Yecheng are complete, he did not intend to use Yecheng as the next capital city.

As soon as the patrol team left, six days later, as the stargazer predicted, the Bohai Sea to the east began to rain first, and then it moved inland. Most of Qingzhou began to enter the rainy season of the new year.

"It rains well." Liu Yan understands farming in the same way, but he is very clear about the importance of water sources for farming: "Qingzhou's autumn will be a good harvest season."

The six-day itinerary allowed the patrol team to enter Lu County, and then to Dongping County, taking the route from Jibei County, Puyang County, Dunqiu County and then to Wei County.

"The rest of the places have begun to return to stability." Cui Wan was teasing with her son. She was canonized as a princess on the Winter Solstice Day. She must be a queen in the future. Not only the Cui clan rejoices, but the wealthy families in Jizhou are also more confident in their hearts. On her left was Tuoba Xiu who was glum, and on her right was Sang Miao, who was involved in teasing the children, saying: "The king has also exempted the places where Xin Guangfu has been taxed for three years, and they will soon regain their popularity."

The tax exemption is when Liu Yan canonized Cui Wan as queen and at the same time announced to the world~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Fu (corvee) did not say that it would not be taxed again. The people of Han inevitably mentioned Cui when thanking Liu Yan. Euphemistically.

Sang Miao is 19 years old this year. She is Sang Yu’s clan sister. She followed Liu Yan in the second year of Yuanshuo, and she is currently Chongyi (Thousand Stone Salaries, more than the left of the 12th class).

Xie Daoyun sat in the corner of the car. She was actually quite resistant to a ride on Wang Nian. One was that she didn’t formally marry and seemed unjustified. Second, she was unfamiliar with the other nymphs. In a few days, unless it was someone I talked in the past, or I just watched it quietly.

Liu Yan said without a word. His entry into Yecheng was a memorable event. He would also go to Xiangguo to walk around to show that the Han country had won a big victory over Shijie Zhao.

It is special in the political sense, so it must not be necessary to deter Ran Minzheng's Northern Expedition Corps, and beat Ran Min a little.

That is because Ran Min expanded his army too fast. Although the Realization Center has confirmed that Ran Min can recruit local troops, the problem is that in less than a year, Ran Min's Northern Expedition Corps increased from 140,000 to nearly 400,000. If you are suspicious, The king with a serious heart wouldn't even make an investigation, so he must have "clicked" Ran Min directly. r
