"Lord, this is the corpse of the tribe killed by the general in the town. Take a look."

After returning to Chengde, Wu Zhongmi saw the pile of corpses that had been sent to him, and saw some familiar people, their bodies pierced by broken arrows, and their necks that had been wiped off with a knife.

A neat wound, clean and neat, not a cut.

Although the body has not decayed yet due to the winter weather.

However, Wu Zhongmi still felt palpitated when he saw the scene in front of him.

"It's not an axe, it should be the swords of the Yan Kingdom!"

"That's right, I heard that the nobles of the Yan Kingdom made swords with US dollars, and they said they cut iron like clay. Come to think of it, what we see now is just a sword wound! It's really sharp!"

"Clan leader, please think of a way to get these smelting technologies!"

"Just think about it, it's not that easy!"

A group of people started making a buzzing noise, but Wu Zhongmi didn't pay much attention to them.

He just said to everyone: "Burn the body."

"Yes."

After a while, Wu Zhongmi felt better and continued, "Give me the order, take away all the food and fur, and convert the rest into cash.

Next, we have to go to Kaiyuan City first. If Lelang is really an unowned land, we will go to Lelang to settle down.

The situation in the north and south of Yanshan is turbulent. It is estimated that the Yan State will continue to fight for two or three years. Let's go all the way east and kill the old thing Wu Zhonghu first, and leave the rest to the Yan State. "

No one denied it either.

Although the water plants at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain are good, they are too close to Yan State.

The speed of garrisoning in the Yan Kingdom is accelerating, and the population in the border areas is increasing. At the same time, due to the requirement that members of the same clan should not marry within five generations, the speed of blood fusion within the Yan Kingdom is much faster than that of other tribal clans.

Coupled with the frequent draws, the soldiers of Yan State could have a lot of illegitimate children in a short period of time, and these children all lived in Xiaoyi in the border areas.

Nowadays, most people are two or three years old. If you give them another ten years, they will be young and a half, ready to arm themselves with weapons and wage war against foreign countries.

Although the Lingzhi family married well with them, there were still many who did not want to be annexed by the Yan Kingdom.

Of course, there are also those who are willing to join the Yan Kingdom.

A considerable number of them chose to annex the Yan Kingdom, and Xin Qu accepted them all and placed them in the south to fill the gaps in the newly opened fields and villages near the southern rivers.

After a set of operations, the Zhi clan's population was reduced by one-third. Including slaves, there were only more than 12,000 people left.

But among the more than 10,000 people, there are very few elderly people.

"Wu Zhongmi, this bastard! He actually abandoned all the old people!"

Fu Tu, who came to take over the Ling Zhi family's land, clenched his fist and smashed it on the wooden pile on the left side. Looking at the old man and lady in front of him, he gritted his teeth in anger.

"Okay, Qu will come soon and tell him when he comes. Now, the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain is divided into two counties.

Fengning County in the west and Chengde County in the east.

Plus Kaiping County, which is located on the grassland.

You will probably move from Zunhua North to Chengde. "

Ning Shiwu, the general of the town, looked expressionlessly at the old people of the Lingzhi family who were trying to please them.

Not all of these people are old people who cannot work, but they are all in their forties.

Basically, except for men, it cannot provide any reproductive value.

The labor force will also be greatly reduced in the next few years, and in the end it will not be able to help at all, and it will also drag down the logistics of the entire army.

However, for the Yan State, the elderly can still work. After all, the Quyuan Li is popular in the Yan State. These old people have lived in the north and south of Yanshan all their lives and have accumulated a lot of experience. They need to adapt to the Yan State's Quyuan Li, etc. With machinery, at least it won’t be a problem to feed yourself.

As long as you can support yourself, it's not a hindrance.

Therefore, Ning Shiwu does not think that the old man is a burden, and it is only the nomadic forces who think that the old man is a burden.

"You all can stay with peace of mind and settle down as soon as possible. The State of Yan will not give up on you. From now on, you are our subjects of the State of Yan. You can obtain the full grain of the State of Yan. After that, you only need to cultivate land, herd cattle and sheep, and live your life with peace of mind. Just get through it.

By the way, it has been cold recently and several families live in one tent. We brought a briquette stove, which is a good thing from the south and can keep us warm. "

Ning Shiwu comforted these old men and women. They were doubtful, but at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you can survive.

When Xin Qu arrived in Chengde, the envoy Wu Zhongmi who was stationed here came to see Xin Qu.

"Bei Bojin'an." The messenger bowed down. Xinqu waved his hand, and the envoy soon stood up: "By order of Lelang County, I will give you twelve beauties, a population of two thousand, and a map of Chengde as follows. Chengde now belongs to Beibo."

The messenger's belongings were presented.

Xinqu clicked his tongue twice after reading: "I said the same for you, don't you know if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure? The place you plan to go to is Lelang. What is needed there is an old man with long-term farming experience to take charge. Complete reclamation as quickly as possible.

As a result, you all left me here. What are your thoughts? "

"What Beibo said is very true, but Beibo still needs someone to know how to farm in Chengde. These old people are all old people who are accustomed to living in the north and south of Yanshan. It would be difficult for them to accept if they were asked to go on an expedition to foreign lands.

In this case, it is better to be a favor and ask Uncle Bei to accept it. "

This messenger is also unscrupulous. Just listen to Xin Qu's words. If you really want to believe them, you will be a fool.

Many old men may not be able to live a more enlightened life than young people throughout their lives.

Moreover, they are moving to a new home, and the road is full of obstacles. What will the old man do with them? A drag?
Who knows how much manpower and material resources are needed to develop? Who has the heart to care about these old people?

"Okay, now that we've done this, I won't refuse. Tu, go find those representatives."

Xinqu waved his hand and asked the envoy to stand aside.

Futu came out to answer the order, and then moved out.

Not long after, several old men and women were invited up.

When they walked into the big tent, their expressions were obviously much more reserved. When they saw the young man on the main seat clearly, they swallowed their saliva nervously.

Their life and death all depended on the young man in front of them.

"Dear father-in-laws and old women." Xin Qu showed a gentle smile, "Gu Nai is the Northern Uncle of the Yan Kingdom.

The son of Lelang County and the general of North Korea were canonized by Wu Zhongmi alone.

The gold seal, edict, and festival ax have been distributed to him.

In order to let Gu Neng control various places in Chengde as soon as possible, resume production, and make you all live a good life, he left you behind to assist Gu in setting up a settlement in Chengde.

From now on, Chengde will be changed to the headquarters of the Zhongzhong General's Mansion.

Temporarily governed Fengning, Chengde, and Kaiping (today's Guyuan and Duolun).

After defeating the combined forces of Wuzhong and Guzhu this time, Chifeng, Chaoyang, and Daning counties will be added.

There are six counties in total. You will then scatter them to these six counties according to households and use them as local household registrations.

At the same time, in order to commend you for your sincerity in staying, the State of Yan will give you the title of sergeant and a family title, and will also give you some orphans to raise.

Of course, the court will also provide a certain amount of salary for raising children on your behalf.

Whether it's for your present or your future.

Having children and grandchildren to support you can also alleviate your future anxieties.

Remember, your future is closely related to the development of Yan State's generals in the town. If you gain success, you will both prosper and if you lose, you will both suffer.

The territory demarcated by our Yan State cannot be easily discarded. "

"Thank you... thank you, Uncle Bei!" These old men could all understand Xin Qu's words, because Xin Qu spoke the dialect commonly used by the Ling Zhi family.

Of course, what's more important is Xinqu's bribery of them.

Anyway, at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain, there is not much population now. The two thousand people are neither too many nor too few.

If we divide it one by one, there will be no problem for eight or nine hundred households.

As long as the young slaves collected after the Eastern Expedition are sent to them, one or two per family, in about thirty years, eight or nine hundred families will have at least two generations, and more than two thousand families can be reproduced.

At the same time, their experience can be passed on.

The formation of stable clan villages can greatly reduce Yanbei's blood-sucking influence on Yannan.

However, this is a hardship for the general's office in the town. Not only do they have to move north, but more importantly, there is a high probability that their family members will move north.

Of course, this is all a later arrangement, because the war is about to begin.

"Okay, then prepare for the war, sit alone in Chengde, and build a garden on the Rehe side in a while. The summer here in Chengde is cool, suitable for summer escape, and also suitable for hunting. Shanglin Garden will be set here, and we will hunt every year in the future. During military exercises, they are all stationed in Chengde."

Xin Qu finalized the geographical location of Chengde.

Ning Shiwu and others stood up and agreed.

The value of the general in the town is still rising! (End of chapter)
