Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 317 Destroying the Guo on a Fake Journey

Yan Zhan nodded in agreement, but Meng Ben turned his head and asked: "I don't think there is a problem with the arrangement of concubines, the key is the ministers, the governor Yan said before that the soldiers of Chen Kingdom are weak, why do we need so many weak soldiers? "

Hou Feng Nianxu smiled: "Have you ever heard of annihilation of Guo by false means? When the army led the way, it happened to destroy the country of Jizi!"

Meng Ben suddenly realized that the city of Chen Kingdom was built with many trees and stones, and it is not difficult to break it.

But the country of Jizi is similar to the Central Plains. The country is a serious rammed earth city, and it does take a lot of troops to besiege and attack it.

When the time came to attack the city, it was just enough to drive the ministers incorporated into the army to take the lead and consume the defensive equipment of the defenders.

Beheading the enemy's head can remove the status of official, so don't be afraid that they will not fight bravely to be the first!

But then, he said with a smile: "The country of Jizi is the people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, so they are not familiar with the customs of the Central Plains. I am afraid that such a deceitful act of destroying Guo will not be able to deceive any of the vassal states of Zhou!"

Yan Zhan stretched out his index finger and shook it lightly: "No, although the country of Jizi is the people of Yin and Shang, they can still see such a simple strategy."

Meng Ben tilted his head and asked, "Then why do they still agree with our army?"

Yan Zhan asked back: "How many people do you think Liaodong County has?"

Without waiting for Meng Ben to answer, Yan Zhan said directly: "It's strange to have a household of 15, and a population of [-]."

Well, it is roughly equivalent to the population of a larger township or a smaller county in later generations.

Meng Ben opened his eyes wide: "So few?"

Yan Zhan said solemnly: "This is the number of people who have multiplied for more than ten years after the unification of the world!"

Seeing that Meng Ben was still puzzled, Hou Feng explained with a smile:

"According to the reports of merchants who went to the country of Jizi, the country of Jizi has more than one million people and more than [-] large and small cities. The number of our troops passing by, including the tribal soldiers of Donghu, is less than [-]."

"If you were the lord of the country of Jizi, you wouldn't worry that you would be wiped out in a single battle like the Guo country!"

After hearing this, Meng Ben became even more puzzled: "Since the country of Jizi can't be destroyed in one battle, why do you have to commit a treachery? The two sides are safe, can't they live their own lives?"

"Stupid!" Yan Zhan scolded in a low voice, and immediately said: "The country of Jizi is the people of Yin and Shang, and it is no different from the Central Plains. Most of the domestic population fled there from the Central Plains before Qin destroyed Yan and Qi."

"The population of Liaodong County is not large now, if I don't beat him, how do I know he won't beat me?"

"Besides, this battle is not for the annexation of Jizi's country, but to make it a vassal of Qin. Your Majesty, by grace, wants to make the country's ruler Shunyi Hou, and eat thousands of households..."

Meng Ben asked weakly, "What if he doesn't agree?"

Hou Feng said with a smile: "Then choose someone who is close to Qin from among his brothers, sons, uncles or distant relatives, and make him Marquis of Shunyi!"

"Besides, according to His Majesty's edict, in addition to Shunyi Marquis with [-] households, ten Lunhous with [-] households will be rewarded. Well, the Shunyi Marquis has not been decided yet, and the number of Lunhous has been confirmed for seven people... …No one can refuse the prosperity of Xianyang City!"

Meng Ben thought about his [-] households in Shiyi, and murmured, "Your Majesty is so generous!"

Yan Zhan looked at Hou Feng, and the two looked at each other with a smile, then Yan Zhan asked: "How is your majesty's preparation for entering Liao with the people of Qi and Zhao?"

Hou Feng nodded slightly: "After surrendering to Kingdom Chen, the people of Jiaodong can go to Liao."

Yan Zhan frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Hou Feng asked with a smile: "The governor of Shicai asked Lou Chuan Xiaowei to know how many people there are in Liaodong County. Now I want to ask the governor, how many people are there in Jiaodong County?"

Yan Zhan smiled and shook his head slightly.

Hou Feng said: "Jiaodong County is surrounded by the sea on both sides, with Langya in the south and Linzi in the west. Although it is on the edge of the empire, it has a large population. There are 13 million households in Qianshou and more than 78 people!"

Envy, Yuyang County and the three counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi combined have only such a small population... Hey, who made the people of Yan not good at farming, and the land is mostly eroded by sea water... Yan Zhan was about to speak, but seeing Hou Feng seemed like It was not enough, so he silently waited for the other party to continue.

Hou Feng said with a bit of gloom on his face: "However, this is what happened 27 years ago of the first emperor. The household registration registers we see now are still calculated when Tong Wu Hou Wang Ben destroyed Qi."

"Ten years have passed, and the dolls of those years have grown up, and those who have grown up have not died of famine or war. Therefore, it is only the preliminary statistics of these days. The population of Jiaodong County should be conservative. More than 120 million people!"

Yan Zhan blinked his eyes and questioned: "Isn't that a good thing? Your Majesty often says that there are many people and strength, and he often orders counties and counties to encourage births... Give more praise to pregnant women!"

Hou Feng shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty's original intention is very good, but the emperor lives above the temple, how can he know that there are slippery officials in the world, and the rich and powerful are insatiable!"

He went on to say: "For example, in Jiaodong County, ever since the former emperor promulgated the edict of 'making the head of Guizhou self-realize its land', the local officials have colluded with each other and used their hands to enrich the land that should have been granted to the head of Guizhou..."

Yan Zhan gritted his molars and said, "Kill, one kills one, and two kills a pair!"

This guy, could it be the angry youth His Majesty mentioned...Hou Feng crossed his hands and put them on the table: "The disease is terminally ill, and you will die under the strong medicine. It is not advisable to kill blindly!"

Yan Zhan thumped the table and said, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

Hou Feng showed an inexplicable smile on his face:

"The sheriff said before that the women of Chen Country are very docile, and they are just right for my Jiaodong man!"

"As the so-called people under the frontier, the benefits are not generous, so they should not be allowed to live in a dangerous place for a long time."

"The first batch entered the head of Liao and Guizhou, and they were uniformly registered as soldiers. The Shaofu and Jiaodong County jointly allocated money to buy Chen Guo's concubines as wives, purchase cattle and farm tools, and build houses."

Yan Zhan made some calculations in his mind, raised his head and said, "You don't have to wait until the Kingdom of Chen is conquered, you can immigrate to Liaodong now!"

Hou Feng was slightly taken aback: "Why is it so urgent?"

Yan Zhan said with a smile: "According to the map drawn by Your Majesty, the engineers who set out from Yuyang found a large iron mine in the southeast of Xiangping County (Gongchangling, Anshan, Liaoning), and in the northeast of Xiangping County, there is also A shallow coal mine was discovered."

"If they set off now, they can arrive at Liaodong County with the engineers from Sanchuan County. In this way, after several months of mining, maybe they don't need to share cattle and farm tools with the people in Lifang!"

Hou Feng asked: "Just talking about the migration of the population, how to solve the food problem? If there is no grain and grass from the Kingdom of Chen and the Kingdom of Jizi, with the treasury of Liaodong County, is it enough to cope with the immigration of 10 people? "

Yan Zhan smiled confidently: "There is a newly opened field in Yuyang, that's enough! Have you heard such a saying? Roe deer are beaten with sticks to scoop fish with scoops, and pheasants fly into the rice pot..."
