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

Chapter 447 Competing in the Central Plains ([-])
Two years later

The summer of the ninth year of Yanhou 160 (379 years)
It took Fu Jian a year to capture Yizhou in the Jin Dynasty, and another year to build ships. He couldn't wait to start the pace of unifying the world, and he didn't intend to give his soldiers and people a chance to take a breather. Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who wanted to make a Northern Expedition, was militaristic.

From the autumn of the previous year to this year, large-scale disasters have occurred in the entire Chinese mainland, which is a manifestation of the growing coldness of the Little Ice Age.

This time the Little Ice Age lasted from the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, and it is still getting colder. Even the port of Woju (Vladivostok), a slave trading port, has been frozen for half a year to be frozen all year round. The team has been unable to reach Woju Port from the Whale Sea.

Moreover, there are more and more ice surfaces in the surrounding waters of Phi Mao Island (Sakhalin Island). Yan Guo can only walk from Niulang Island to Phi Mao Island and walk on the ice.

Against the backdrop of an increasingly cold climate, expanding northward to open up wasteland is simply not feasible. On the contrary, the Spice Islands have become less miasmaous than before because of the colder climate, and the death rate has also decreased a lot.

The grassland was most affected. Heavy snowstorms occurred for several years, leading to the extinction of countless nomadic tribes, and the remaining people continued to migrate to the warmer south.

The disasters in the Central Plains were equally serious. Floods and droughts occurred for three consecutive years, resulting in no crops in the Central Plains. Large-scale refugees and cannibalism have appeared in the Jizhou area.

On the contrary, the Jin Dynasty in the south, because the climate became colder, it was easier to develop Jiangnan and Jiaozhou, and there would be no miasma everywhere like before.

This is God is helping the Sima family, but the Sima family is not up to date, God is helping him, he still can't stand up.

On the contrary, Yan Country doesn't care. Due to its special geographical location, Yan Country doesn't care whether the weather is hot or cold.

When the climate is cold, the Spice Islands will be developed. When the climate is hot, the Great Northeast will be developed. Regardless of whether it is cold or hot, it can open up wasteland for development.

Before the climate gets warmer, Yan State has no interest in continuing to go north to eliminate the remnants of Goguryeo. It is too cold to be worthwhile. It is better to reclaim the Spice Islands.

In the case of large-scale famine and refugees in Jizhou, Fu Jian only ordered to exempt the people of Jizhou from taxes and corvee for three years, but he did not intend to stop the pace of expansion. Even if natural and man-made disasters are so frequent, we still want to expand and unify.

Two months later
fall
Everything is bleak, there are yellow fallen leaves everywhere, and the people of the Central Plains who dig wild vegetables to eat.

At this time, Emperor Fu Jian of the Great Qin Dynasty ordered: 100 million soldiers will be recruited, and one person will be drawn from every ten adult men to join the army.

One out of ten men is drawn. To be honest, in this troubled world, it is considered very low. After all, Shi Hu draws three out of five men, and Murong Jun draws out every three men. Two people, Li Shou will draw one out of every two men, each of them is a talent.

Although the proportion of smoking men is relatively low, but the time of drawing is not right. When the Central Plains has been suffering from natural disasters and man-made disasters for several years, how can ordinary people bear it.

Yan State has a total population of 600 million, of which 45% are young and middle-aged people, which is 270 million, and the total force is 2. That is to say, if Yan State is substituted into the Central Plains conscription, it is equivalent to 130 men If one person is drawn, it can be regarded as a recuperation compared to any country in the same period.

The reason why the proportion of young and middle-aged people is so high is that the average life expectancy of ordinary people is very short due to the land reclamation policy of Yan State, and most people die of exhaustion before they reach the age of 40.

The female population of Yan State is 48%, and the male population is 52%.

Of the 52% of the male population, 45% are young adults between the ages of 15 and 40, and 6.5% are boys under the age of 14. Less than 40% of the male population can live to be over 0.5 years old. 0.5% of the elderly over the age of 40 are either aristocrats, guild wealthy businessmen, or some talents, while ordinary people in the country of Yan can hardly live to be over 40 years old. Even if there is one, it is a miracle, which shows that this person's body It was unimaginably strong, and such high-intensity land reclamation did not exhaust him to an early death.

女性人口也是同样的情况，48%的女性人口中，14岁以下的幼女为6%，15－40岁的青壮年妇女为41.7%，40岁以上的女性人口仅有0.3%。

As long as Yan State continues to implement the land reclamation policy, there is no need to worry about population aging, because the people will never live to old age, and their physical functions will be exhausted by the huge amount of land reclamation work.

The best way to solve the problem of aging is to prevent people from living to old age.

Not only is the Central Plains unable to intentionally reduce the elderly population like Yan State, but also because of the tradition of respecting the elderly, they would rather let young people starve to death than let the elderly at home starve to death, so the proportion of elderly population is higher than that of Yan State, and the burden of conscription is natural It is higher than Yan Guo.

Fu Jian's million-strong army had already set their targets when they were recruited.

20 soldiers went west to recover the Western Regions, 20 soldiers went east to conquer Yan State, 20 soldiers went north to sweep the nomads in Mobei, [-] soldiers set out from Yizhou to attack the southern and central areas of Jin State, and [-] soldiers set out from Yizhou to attack the Jin State. In the Jiaozhou area of ​​the country, [-] soldiers set out from Yizhou to attack the Jingnan area of ​​the Jin State, [-] soldiers set out from Xiangyang to attack the Jingbei area of ​​​​the Jin State, and [-] soldiers set out from North Xuzhou to attack the Guangling Jiankang area of ​​​​the Jin State.

Attack from all directions simultaneously!
Among them, the one in charge of attacking Yan State was the well-known useless general Murong Ping.

Murong Ping took bribes and engaged in military business, which ruined Murong Yanguo, but Fu Jian still reused him.

Fu Jian thinks that he governs the country with benevolence and righteousness. He has also read the "Wang Family Renyi Biography" published by the Wang family to the Central Plains. It introduces how the ancestors of the Wang family defeated their opponents by relying on benevolence and righteousness. However, there is no overseas content, only the Wang family. How to defeat opponents in the Central Plains and grasslands, because the Wang family does not want the Central Plains regime to compete with itself for overseas regions.

"As long as you stick to the benevolence and righteousness of the two sages of Confucius and Mencius, you will be invincible in the world. This is the precious secret of the Liaodong royal family's rebirth from the ashes and victory over the enemy!"

The Wang family also cited other examples of benevolence and righteousness in the Central Plains. For example, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors relied on benevolence and righteousness to make the world submit. Moving eastward, Qin Mugong conquered Xirong by virtue of benevolence and righteousness, Xi Shi relied on benevolence and righteousness to make Fu Chai fascinated, Gou Jian relied on benevolence and righteousness to kill Fu Chai, Bai Qi defeated Zhao Kuo by relying on benevolence and righteousness, Qin Shihuang unified the world by relying on benevolence and righteousness, Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army by relying on benevolence and righteousness, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu by relying on benevolence and righteousness, Empress Lu controlled the government by relying on benevolence and righteousness, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo overthrew the Lu family by relying on benevolence and righteousness, Emperor Han Jing relied on benevolence and righteousness to win chess and defeated the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms, Liu Xiu relied on benevolence and righteousness to unify the world, Yuan Shao relied on benevolence and righteousness to unify In the north, Sima Yi relied on benevolence and righteousness to seize power, and the Wang family of Langya succeeded in crossing the south by relying on benevolence and righteousness.

There are so many precedents. If Fu Jian wants to unify the world, he must also rely on benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, he is very forgiving to anyone who surrenders, even those who rebel.
