Chapter 197 Return to Jiangdong with success

Mi Fang successfully opened up Liaodong, not only bringing back a large number of horses, but also completing the development of navigation routes.He set out from Yuzhou (Lianyungang), followed the coast, and sailed for more than [-] miles to Chengshan (now Weihai). Wherever there were islands on the way, the locations were marked on the drawings.

Then it traveled northwest from Chengshan and sailed [-] to [-] miles to Huang County (now Yantai); from Huang County to the northeast across the Changdao Islands, traveling from island to island, sailed more than [-] miles to Dazhu (now Lushun); and from Huang County to Dazhu (now Lushun); Starting from Dazhu, we walked along the coast, flowed upstream into the Liao River, and went ashore to Xiangping (today's Liaoyang), a distance of more than [-] miles.

Mi Fang's trip started from Yuzhou Island, covering a distance of nearly [-] miles, and the round trip took more than four months.Including the more than a thousand miles from Jingkou, the entire voyage from Jiangzuo to Liaodong is about five thousand miles long, and the round trip time is about five months.

After figuring out the Liaodong sea route, the three bandits Wang Ying, Cong Qian, and Zhang Shu and their subordinates were also transported by the fleet and evacuated in batches from Donglai and Guangli counties.

Wang Ying was defeated by Li Dian and declined from the peak of more than [-] households to more than [-] households. He was neither greedy nor greedy about money and developed from more than [-] households to about [-] households. Zhang Shu was remote. The commander-in-chief of the region held the people hostage and had four hundred households in his hands.The three of them defected to Yuzhou and acquired more than [-] households in total, with a population of [-] to [-] men and women.

Then counting the more than 9000 families led by Gao Xin and Guan Cheng, there were 5 men and women.Adding up these bandits and powerful tribesmen from the Qingxu coastal area, the total number is more than 9000.If we take into account the [-] people in Changxi and the more than [-] households in Qu County, there are about [-] people.

In total, Huo Jun traveled thousands of miles north to Yuzhou to open up the Liaodong sea route and relocated 7000 people.

But as exciting as population migration is, it is also painful to manage.Previously, all the tribes under Chang Xi's tent were transported away by Jiangzuo's fleet, leaving more than 2 people on Yuzhou Island. Now, tribes of bandits from the seaside are pouring into Yuzhou Island, and the population is More than 5 people came again.

On Yuzhou Island, which has a population of more than 5, it has become a daily routine for the navy to use warships to catch sea fish.Thanks to the management experience of so many people before, Huo Jun adopts military management, letting military lieutenants and generals go down to the grassroots to assign daily target planning.

Tens of thousands of people have lived on Yuzhou Island for a long time. They cut firewood for cooking and lighting fires for warmth every day, and Yuzhou Mountain has become visibly bald.

However, the number of people with more than 5 people was only by chance. Zhuge Liang learned the news about Yuzhou Island from the fleet and expected that the population of Yuzhou Island would increase.

Then a larger fleet was dispatched, including old and new navy warships, or merchant ships. Although the ships were uneven, there were more than 200 ships.In addition to the more than 400 large and small ships and more than [-] warships in Huo Jun's hands, the canvas was spread out, covering the sky and the sun.Yu Jin, Zang Ba and Wu Dun who were stationed in Qu County were dumbfounded.

There were more than 300 warships on hand. Under Huo Jun's deployment, more than 2 warships were pulled out and returned to Jiangzuo with more than [-] people on board.

"Zhongmiao, don't you want to go back to Jiangzuo first?" Mi Fang asked.

Huo Jun shook his head and said: "Most of the people on Yuzhou Island are the people of Qingxu Binhai, and many of them are reluctant to leave their homes. They all rely on Wang Ying, Cong Qian and others. Now Jun is not here to intimidate. If he leaves it to others, There may be unrest.”

There are more than 5 people on the island, and Huo Jun plans to send them to Jiangzuo in two batches.The first batch of Mi Fang returned with horses and more than 2 people, and the second batch of Mi Fang led his sergeants and the remaining people back to the army collectively.

Mi Fang nodded and said with a smile: "Wu Zhongmiao is stationed in Yuzhou. He is afraid that generals such as Yu Jin, Zang Ba, and Wu Dun will be eager to attack Yuzhou and seize the people ashore."

Ever since Huo Jun brought those Qingxu pirates to Yuzhou Island, its population has become so prosperous that it is pitiable.Not only Yu Jin and Zang Ba were garrisoned, but Wu Dun, the governor of Licheng, also rushed to Qu County with his troops to see if he could defeat Huo Jun and gain access to the people on the island.Therefore, a few days ago, the three-man army sent out sergeants at night to arrive at Yuzhou in a small boat, but they were repelled by the patrolling navy.

"nothing!"

Huo Jun patted Mi Fang's arm and said with a smile: "Brother Mi, you can go back to Jiangzuo first. When Jun returns next month, you and I will gather with Liu Shijun at Jingkou."

Mi Fang thought of something and asked: "Kong Ming asked me to ask Zhongmiao, apart from the tens of thousands of people under Chang Xi's command, if the rest of the income will be sent to the people of Jiangdong and settled in Poyang County?"

Huo Jun pondered for a while and said: "No need, just resettle in batches. This trip to the north cannot be done by Jun alone. It can be divided into ten thousand people to Danyang, and ten thousand people to Wujun, and the other counties can also share the burden. Among them, let the governor Four thousand households from Cheng and Gaoxin can be resettled in Poyang County."

One hundred thousand people moved to Jiangzuo. After deducting the 5 to 5 people from Changxi, it was not impossible for Huo Jun to take care of the remaining [-] to [-] people alone.But when you are an official in the officialdom, you cannot live alone. You must have a share in seeing others. After all, no one has difficulties. When the time comes, if you ask others for help, they will easily agree.

Of course, there are other reasons. It is quite difficult for Poyang County alone to support [-] to [-] people.If these people are distributed among the counties, the pressure will not be so great.

"Okay!" Mi Fang understood Huo Jun's meaning and said with a smile: "All the county guards will remember Zhong Miao's kindness, and Fang will tell this to Kong Ming."

After saying that, Mi Fang asked in a low voice: "Those Sanhan maids, Fang sent them to your home for you. How about it?"

Huo Jun smiled and said nothing, just nodded in agreement.Mi Fang understood the idea, then said goodbye and left.

Looking at Mi Fang's back, Huo Jun was very interested.So far, he has had contact with all three major traitors who lost Jingzhou in the history of Shu Han, and even had a close relationship with them.Shiren worked under him and cooperated with Mi Fang to go north to open the Liaodong route. Pan Jun assisted Liu Qi with him.

Judging from his current perception, it cannot be denied that all three of them are capable.Pan Jun's political ability was outstanding. Together with Wang Can, Gu Yong and others, he assisted Liu Qi in governing Yangzhou and handled the affairs in an orderly manner. Even Zhuge Liang praised Pan Jun's political ability.

Mi Fang was second. Although he had selfish motives, he was able to open up the Liaodong route and made the greatest contribution.Shiren fought bravely, took the lead many times, and was good at uniting his cavalry in battle.

In the future, Mi Fang and Shi Ren escaped, burned down the armory, and surrendered Nanjun to Lü Meng. It can only be said that no one could have imagined it.Or maybe the two of them are getting older and starting to fear death?
But no matter what, Huo Jun believes that people like Mi Fang who are greedy for money, but also capable and have a high status, should make reasonable use of it.Either choose to return home with dignity, or give him a suitable position to let him radiate his residual heat.

Time passed in an instant, and more than twenty days passed since Mi Zhu led the fleet back to Jiangzuo. The fleet returned to Yuzhou in a mighty manner.

Under the watch of Yu Jin, Wu Dun and others on the other side, Huo Jun led more than 3 sergeants and remaining civilians to board the ships, and more than [-] naval warships sailed south, leaving behind an empty Yuzhou Island.

It was summer, and there was a storm and heavy rain on the way back.Due to heavy wind and rain, the ship docked for a day and then headed south.The fleet stopped and walked, sometimes going ashore to replenish fresh water resources, and sometimes stopping to rest ashore. It took twelve days for the fleet to arrive at Jingkou.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Huo Jun looked at the land on the left side of the river, as if he had lived in another world.He went north in December last year and returned in June this summer. He has stayed in Yuzhou for less than half a year.

Huo Jun suddenly looked to the left and right and asked, "What are the past and present?"

"Today is the hot summer day in June of the 12th year of Jian'an." Yu Shao replied.

Huo Jun put his hand on the hilt of the sword, guessing the day when Cao Cao would go south, and murmured: "That will be soon!"

The wind was strong, and Yu Shao could only hear Huo Jun's words, but could not hear the specific content. He asked loudly: "What did the general say?"

Huo Jun felt the strong wind blowing against his face, pointed at Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others who were greeting him on the pier, and said with a laugh: "We are almost at Jingkou!"

Yu Shao nodded and said: "General, go north to open a road to Liaodong, and gain another hundred thousand people, and you can be promoted to the nobility!"

Huo Jun put his arm around Yu Shao's shoulders and said with a smile, "You are also concerned about your inner lord."

"Thank you, General!"

"Ha ha!"

If a general wants his subordinates to obey you, he must not only have excellent skills, but also be able to use their status to get promoted and make a fortune, otherwise no one will follow you.Of course, people who are sincere and charming are another matter to talk about.
