Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 410
When Wang Miao was visiting a group of dignitaries in Chang'an, the year had come to the winter of the 71st year of Marquis Yan. This winter, the grassland suddenly suffered a large-scale snowstorm. Under the jurisdiction of the government, he went south without authorization to plunder the Xianbei tribes in Monan.

However, the Jin court obviously did not have the ability to conduct a decisive battle in Mobei, and it was impossible to conduct another great conquest of the grassland.

As a result, the Mobei Protectorate's Mansion no longer exists.

As for the Xianbei tribes of the Monan Protectorate, some chose to endure the snow disaster, while others chose to take risks, defected from the Central Plains, and went south to plunder the living supplies.

After decades of development, the three tribes of Xianbei in Yanbei Grassland finally have their own names, namely Yuwen Xianbei, Duan's Xianbei, and Murong Xianbei.

The three Xianbei tribes united southward to plunder Youzhou.

Zhang Hua, the governor of Youzhou who had just taken office, wrote a request to conquer Yanbei Xianbei, and Emperor Sima Yan agreed.

In order to better defeat Yanbei Xianbei, Sima Yan, as the suzerain state, ordered Yan to dispatch three thousand cavalry to attack Yanbei Xianbei from the east.

Yanhou Wang Shuang readily agreed, so half a year later, Yanhou's Northern Expedition in the autumn of 72 years.

The Yanbei and Xianbei tribes suffered heavy losses in the First World War in Seoul. Now that they have cultivated for so many years, they still have [-] cavalry.

The Jin Dynasty sent [-] troops to attack Yanbei Xianbei, including [-] Central Plains cavalry, [-] Qianghu servant cavalry, [-] Southern Xiongnu servant cavalry, [-] Xianbei servant cavalry, [-] Yan State cavalry, and [-] Youzhou native cavalry. .

Gao Xiancheng

Wang Shuang, already 45 years old, was leading [-] Yan cavalry to prepare for the expedition.

These three thousand cavalry were assembled by Yan Hou Wang Shuang.

There are only [-] infantry and [-] cavalry in Liaodong, including [-] lightly armored infantry, [-] heavy armored infantry, [-] light armored cavalry, and [-] armored cavalry. This is all that Yanhou Wang Shuang can directly control. Strength, if you want more troops, you can only recruit from various overseas city lords, or temporarily recruit local braves.

Each city was assigned a recruitment quota, and those that were close sent soldiers to join the battle, and those that were far away were directly offset with money.

After patching things together in this way, three thousand light armored cavalry were pieced together.

Although the overall strength of the Yan Kingdom has been rising, the strength of the Marquis of Yan has not changed much, and only Liaodong can be controlled.

After the two sisters Wang Shuang and Wang Xue seized power, they took turns in power, and they took turns every three years.

Fortunately, the two sisters are very close, so there is no conflict under such a turn in power.

However, Sima Yan was troubled by bulk Yan. He still couldn't figure out who had the final say in Yan.

After more than ten years of recuperation, most of the cities in Liaodong have been repaired, and new immigrants have been arranged to cultivate the uncultivated barren land. Various water conservancy facilities, roads and bridges, residential cottages, and squares and city pavilions damaged in the war have also been repaired. The reconstruction has been completed, and now only the expansion of Yangong and Yandu has not been completed.

In addition to resting and recuperating, Wang Shuang and Wang Xue also further improved the patriarchal system of the Yan Kingdom, so as to avoid confusion about the succession rights in the future and lead to another large-scale civil war.

According to Ji Zhou's etiquette law, the feudal lords take the fiefdom as their clan, so the clan of Yan State should be Wang's surname Yan.

All the descendants of the Wang family who have seats in the family council can be called the Yan family, and those who have no seats can be called the Wang surname.

This is intended to remove the offshoots of the Wang family from the clan of Yan through a stricter patriarchal system, so that offshoots, like ordinary people, need to rely on their own hard work to support themselves instead of sitting back and enjoying the benefits. Otherwise, if the clan has too many children, will not be able to support them.

(In the later Ming Dynasty, there were too many descendants of the clan, and the clan and gentry were treated preferentially, so that the ratio of ordinary people to rentiers was too deformed, resulting in the instability of the entire social structure in the later stages)
Therefore, on formal occasions, Wang Shuang would always address herself as Yan Shuang, or Yanhou Shuang.

Yanshuang was not in a hurry to go to the Yanbei grassland to attack the Xianbei people, but was waiting, waiting for the Xianbei people in Yanbei to be defeated by the army of the suzerain state Jin, and then she took three thousand Qingqi to the Yanbei grassland to plunder livestock and slaves .

Livestock could be used, and slaves could be migrated overseas to work on plantations.

As the country of Yan loosened restrictions on overseas land reclamation and allowed private fleets to go overseas to cultivate plantations, the demand for slaves continued to rise.

In the past, the Wang family was worried that privately cultivated plantations would be difficult to control, so private cultivation was not allowed. At most, they were contracted to private agents for cultivation. After the reclamation, the plantation still belonged to the Wang family.

Now, the Yan government has no way to control those city owners. Those city owners want to unite with various guilds to cultivate private plantations in the South China Sea islands, and the Marquis of Yan can't stop them. The only good news is that at least they themselves The cultivated plantations are still willing to pay taxes.

"Report! Yanbei Xianbei was defeated and fled north in a hurry!"

At this time, sentry cavalry came to report the latest information.

"The gate of wealth in the grassland has been opened to us, warriors, follow me!"

Yanshuang was overjoyed and led three thousand light cavalry to kill the unsuspecting Yanbei Grassland. He must rob the Xianbei people before the Jin Tianbing. If they went late, the livestock and slaves would be robbed by the Jin court.

Three thousand cavalrymen of the Yan Kingdom traveled upstream along the Xiliao River. Their ancestors had traveled this road for hundreds of years, and they had to walk this road every time they swept the caves.

The nomadic tribes in the Yanbei Grassland are like weeds. The wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. They continuously provide the Yan State with livestock and slaves.

However, occasionally encounter Yan domestic turmoil.The nomads in Yanbei Grassland can also take the opportunity to fight back, but this kind of situation is relatively rare. Most of the time, Yanbei Grassland belongs to the party that is sucked blood.

Over the past 400 years, the Wang family has carried out a total of eight plowing sweeps on the Yanbei Grassland, an average of once every 60 years.

Yanbei nomads who were swept away by Li Ting often experienced horror once in childhood, and then experienced horror again in old age.

after a day and a night

Three thousand Yanqi finally arrived at the nearest Yuwen Xianbei, just in time to see the old and weak women and children of Yuwen Xianbei leading their herds of cattle, horses and sheep, preparing to migrate to the north to avoid the edge temporarily.

However, it is now in the Little Ice Age, and the climate is getting colder every year. Even if they go to the north, they will return to the south again in a short time.

For these unarmed Xianbei old and weak women and children, Yan Shuang naturally would not show mercy.

"As long as they don't kneel on the ground and beg for surrender, they will all be killed, and no one will be left alive!"

Rumble!
Three thousand Yanqi had no compassion for the weak, charged into the crowd with a front arrow, and slashed at the panicked Xianbei, cutting them into two pieces like cutting tofu.

At this moment, the nomads in Yanbei finally recalled the fear of being dominated by the royal family of Liaodong.
