A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 580 The princes join forces with Liu Yu

Liuqiu Island.

After more than a hundred years of development, there are already three million acres of fertile farmland here. The imperial court has retained 200,000 people over the past hundred years, which has finally made this place much more prosperous.

Today, half of the fields on the Ryukyu Island are planted with sugar cane, and the other half are planted with rice, fruits, vegetables, etc.

The royal family even specially opened a vast horse farm at the bend of the river to raise war horses.

The imperial family built Ryukyu Island as the base for the imperial family to start its business in the future. Therefore, although it is not as vast as the main island, it has everything it needs.

There are various workshops, ironworks and even some mechanical workshops. Even if they no longer have contact with the outside world, they can still live a self-sufficient life.

The horse farm on the island is not large and can only feed more than 10,000 war horses. There is no comparison with the Yinshan Racecourse, which can feed hundreds of thousands or millions of horses.

The royal family has always paid attention to talent training in all aspects, and there are naturally talents for horse breeding. If other people were allowed to manage it, such a racecourse would soon fall into disrepair.

After all, the bloodlines, training, and feeding of war horses in this era are still very rough. Without excellent foreign stallions to mate, it is easy for war horses to degenerate.

Because the royal family has a lot of knowledge and has accumulated experience in raising horses for hundreds of years, it has long started to mark the bloodlines of war horses, select excellent war horses as stallions, and other special breeding methods.

These people either come from wealthy families or from official families, and very few of them truly understand the sufferings of the people. Although those who come from wealthy families or official families have an advantage in the early stage, there are still peasants and soldiers in this world.

In the following time, fleets will come to the Ryukyu Islands almost every month.

This also ensures that the Ryukyu racecourse horses will not deteriorate and may even improve.

In addition to books, culture and other treasures, these craftsmen are the most precious. This group of craftsmen in the hands of the royal family are the most skilled. Although it is impossible for everyone to be willing to leave with the royal family, there is still no problem in taking most of them away.

A large number of people and various materials were transported, and the island became more and more prosperous. At the same time, the land of Zhuxia also began to become turbulent.

Although the reputation of Daqian for four hundred years has been crumbling, it still makes those people only dare to do some small actions.

Not to mention the pioneering nobles in the states and counties within Daqian, many pioneering nobles have already begun to annex each other.

The Luoyang royal family only has less than 30,000 Yulin Guards in their hands and cannot control the world at all. Even the princes from all over the country have tacitly agreed and stopped all taxes and grain that were originally used to transport to Beijing.

Although the royal family is unable to control the world, it is fairly well-informed about all kinds of information and does not think highly of the princes currently competing for the world.

In the process of suppressing the Taiping Army, those powerful and noble people obtained the army, and then their strength rapidly expanded, and they began to expand ambitiously to other places.

Now that the royal family was unable to control the states and counties, many peasants and soldiers were recruited by these people, but most of them were not entrusted with important tasks.

Other workshops are in a similar situation. The royal family has always had a large number of craftsmen, as well as the Royal Academy of Sciences. This time it is relocated, the royal family is prepared to take away most of the craftsmen with it.

The fight for the title has begun.

In order to stabilize the local base, the imperial family had almost tens of thousands of peasants and soldiers in the world. Because these peasants and soldiers used to follow the imperial family, they were not well received by various counties and counties.

At the same time, many peasants and soldiers did not think highly of those princes.

Those peasants and soldiers who were able to fight and dared to fight were far more brave than the wealthy families, officials and nobles. However, they are often looked down upon by nobles and Confucian scholars because of their status. Most of the meritorious deeds achieved were usurped by others.

At the same time, the relationship between these peasants and soldiers was not good with the local powerful people. Most of the powerful people were large local households and controlled a lot of land and people, while the peasant soldiers also owned a large amount of land and tenants. There have always been local battles between the two sides. Although the peasants and soldiers cannot match the money and food of the powerful, they can fight. In addition, many peasants and soldiers are in the same spirit, and the powerful have always been unable to compete with them.

Only now, the influence of the royal family has been greatly reduced, and the states and counties in various places no longer obey the imperial edicts. Only after those powerful forces have obtained the support of the states and counties can they barely prevail over the peasants and soldiers.

In the eyes of the princes and Confucian scholars from all over the country, the peasants and soldiers were just mud-legged and military warriors who could just be given some benefits. They were also unruly and supported the powerful and suppressed them for the sake of balance.

It's just that few of these people lead troops, not many are proficient in military affairs, and they don't understand the importance of military morale. In the army, once rewards and punishments are unclear, merit is not rewarded, soldiers are not treated as human beings, and the soldiers are not stupid, they will naturally not sacrifice their lives for them.

"Brother, the rations distributed this time are all old grains, many of which are bad, and the cloth is made of sparse linen, which can be used as a sieve!"

"We put down the rebellion this time and made great achievements. All of it was taken up by that Junnasniao and divided among his brothers. Our brothers worked hard and worked hard without being promoted. Not even the rewards were enough!"

"Brother, we can't bear this bad attitude any longer!" In a tent, a dozen strong men said in unison.

These people were wearing armor, and looking at their attire, most of them were fifty-year-old. These low-level officials were commanded by a hundred people. The last one was just a uncle, who could lead five hundred people.

The man has a majestic body. Even though he is sitting cross-legged in military uniform, it can still be seen that he is extremely tall and powerful. The whole person is like a bear, and his brows are frowning at this time.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Why are you making so much noise? Listen to my brother!" said a smaller, stronger man next to him.

"Brothers have been wronged, and we know it, but there is no one behind us, and the achievements we have made have been blackmailed. If we want to avoid this cowardice, then we must have a backer, or we must be the masters of our own affairs! "

"We brothers all support our eldest brother, so why don't we do it ourselves and not be bothered by them anymore!"

"Yes, I also support brother!"

"Brother, let us do it!" everyone said one after another.

"Shut up!" the man shouted sternly, and everyone stopped immediately. Seeing that everyone was quiet, he said: "We have no reputation. If we stand on our own, we will become the king of the mountain. If we want to stand on our own, we must at least have a name!"

"Brother, if you don't send someone to report your merits to Luoyang, according to the laws of the imperial court, you will naturally be given an official title!"

"What will the court give?" the man asked with some confusion.

"Brother, you are worrying too much." A thin man next to him who looked out of place with everyone said with a smile: "Now that all the princes are rising together, they don't take the imperial court seriously. If we can restrict the princes everywhere, the imperial court will naturally agree. "

"Besides, my brother is a peasant soldier and has always been loyal to his cadre. If he reports his merits to the court, he will naturally be rewarded."

"As for whether other people will recognize this official reward, don't worry about that!"

"Even if the world is in chaos and the princes are rising together, no one dares to invade the Qianshi. After four hundred years of Qiangshan, the prestige is extremely high and cannot be compared with those princes."

"Brother is powerful, and if he becomes famous again, then those nobles, Confucian classics families, and princes will never think of suppressing us again!"

After listening to the man's words, the strong man's eyes flashed, and the last look of perseverance flashed through him, and he immediately made up his mind and said: "If you are so rich, please leave it to me, sir!" After saying that, he bowed to him and saluted.

"Brother Liu, don't worry, I will personally take people to Luoyang!" The man stood up quickly and bowed.
