The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 553
Later, Chen Ziming, accompanied by Tian Kai, inspected the barracks. There were only [-] soldiers and horses here, and the others were distributed in various important places in Jizhou, especially the places near the grasslands, where there were heavy troops.

Interestingly, both the people of the original Sanhan and the people of Goguryeo have now taken off their costumes and put on the clothes of the Han people, discarding many of their civil administration features.

And the root of this is that the big and small colleges established in various places teach all the knowledge of big men and speak Chinese. If they don’t understand Chinese, they will be eliminated. It’s only been ten years, and these places have begun to Sinicize. It was what excited Chen Ziming the most.

"Is there a wealthy family in the county?" Chen Ziming looked at the people in Hanfu on the street, and asked the county magistrate behind him with satisfaction.

The county magistrate hastily said: "Prime Minister Qi, there are rich and noble families in the county, but most of them are people who migrated from Qingzhou and Jizhou. The scale is not large. They have a little money, and they all obey the rules."

Chen Ziming asked suspiciously: "There are no rich people anymore?"

"This..." The county magistrate hesitated for a while, but was glared at by Chen Ziming, and hurriedly said: "There are also local rich people, but not many, and they all started from small businesses."

Chen Ziming sharpened his eyes, and said coldly: "The original rich man, or the original local nobleman?"

The reason why Chen Ziming suddenly spoke badly was because he thought that these people oppressed the local wealthy people and even did illegal things, which would easily arouse the dissatisfaction and worry of the local people and would be detrimental to their sense of belonging.

The county magistrate felt a chill on his back, and hurriedly replied: "I want to report to the prime minister, when I came down to work here, I was still a small official. I have been an official here for nearly eight years, and I haven't seen any local rich people. According to the people... . . ”

Speaking of this, the county magistrate secretly glanced at Chen Ziming, and seeing Chen Ziming looking at him coldly, the county magistrate took a deep breath and continued: "It is said that the rich and nobles who were captured by the native land were all arrested after the arrival of the heavenly soldiers of the Han Dynasty. They were imprisoned, and later they did not know where the heavenly soldiers took them, and now there is no news, and their fields were all distributed to the people, so that the local people returned to the big man."

In fact, the county magistrate did not say a word. He had heard about where the local nobles had gone, and they were all buried in the mines of Fuzhou. Ling Ke didn't dare to say these things.

"Oh..." Hearing the county magistrate's answer, and looking into the county magistrate's eyes, Chen Ziming knew that he had done something wrong. The landowners were beaten and the land was divided by him. The original rich and nobles , I am afraid few are alive.

Guan Yu, who knew the whole story, twitched his mouth and tilted his head to one side. If it is said that the number of people who died directly under Guan Yu's knife was not known, but if it was said that the people who died because of Chen Ziming were not comparable to Guan Yu.

"Cough cough..." Chen Ziming coughed in embarrassment, and then said to the county magistrate: "You must act according to the law, don't break the law knowingly, they are all big Han people now, and they need to be treated equally."

"No." The county magistrate hastily responded.

Soon, Chen Ziming left the county and headed for Heilongzhou. The destination of Chen Ziming's trip was the northernmost territory of Dahan. Where Heilongzhou was located, it was also the coldest and bitterest place in Dahan.

"The last general pays his respects to the prime minister and the great general."

Just after leaving Jizhou, a team of soldiers and horses had been waiting for a long time, and the leader of the team was General Xu Sheng, the commander of the northern guarding army.He looks big and thick, but has a literary spirit in his majesty. Xu Sheng was born in a wealthy family. He is not only strong in martial arts, but also good at writing and writing.

Xu Sheng is regarded as the veteran of the Liu Bei Group. After Liu Bei gained a firm foothold in Qingzhou, Xu Sheng came to join Liu Bei. He made countless military exploits in several battles such as the Qingzhou Defense War, and was reused by Liu Bei.

Later, when he attacked the north, Liu Bei left him to guard the north. Xu Sheng did not disappoint Liu Bei. Although there was a rebellion, it was not Xu Sheng's fault. The prestige is very high.

In the past few years, he fought with Wu Heng, and he has a way of riding on the grasslands, which is also a rare handsome talent. Otherwise, he would not be able to lead the army alone in Liu Bei's group. Loyalty is no problem. Xu Sheng can be said to be Liu Bei's Confidant General.

For Xu Sheng, Chen Ziming had a deep memory, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "General Xu has worked hard to guard the frontier for the great man."

Xu Sheng replied solemnly: "The weak merit of the last general dares to be compared with the prime minister and the general."

Under Xu Sheng's guidance, everyone continued to go north without stopping. Chen Ziming's goal this time was the northernmost border. He wanted to see the northernmost point of the big man. Is there any threat to the big man in this era? power.

"cold!"

This is Chen Ziming's first feeling. Under such conditions, can anyone really survive here? It is almost impossible under the conditions of this era.

Xu Sheng looked at the vast white frontier and said, "There are thousands of miles of uninhabited land beyond this place. According to Fuyu's map, this place is the border. If you go further north, you don't know much."

"Has someone been sent to investigate?" Guan Yu beside him was physically strong, but he was not as cold as Chen Ziming felt.

Xu Sheng nodded and said: "When the weather warmed up, many scouts were sent to investigate. They went hundreds of miles, but there was no one inhabited, and the road was difficult. The scouts had to come back to report. If they go further north, they don't know where to go."

Chen Ziming nodded, it was a bit different from what he imagined, but looking at such bad weather and such an environment, it is really difficult for anyone to survive.

"Are there soldiers and horses guarding this place?"

Guan Yu didn't see the barracks all the way, so he suddenly asked Xu Sheng.

"There are no soldiers and horses guarding it." Xu Sheng said helplessly: "It's bitterly cold here, soldiers can't stay here for a long time, otherwise they will suffer from frostbite later on. Only when the weather improves, send rangers to investigate."

"That's the only way." After hearing this, Guan Yu also nodded. In such an environment, it is indeed not suitable to station troops, but there is no threat from the north, and it is okay not to station troops for defense.

"That's right." Chen Ziming said suddenly, braving the cold: "When the weather warms up, send craftsmen to go north as far as they can, and then build boundary markers, which must be large, numerous, and conspicuous, and then mark them on the map. Go down to the land of the Han Dynasty and send it to Linzi for the report."

After listening to Chen Ziming's order, Guan Yu, Xu Sheng and the others were speechless for a while, and they also gained a deep understanding and understanding of Chen Ziming's love for expansion.

However, Xu Sheng immediately agreed. Anyway, it was a one-sentence matter. It was just to build a boundary marker. As long as no one was sent to guard it, it was not a big problem.

Feeling bored, Chen Ziming spent some time returning to the capital of Heilongzhou to rest. During this time, he was froze to death, but he felt that this trip was not a loss, and he gained a lot. At least in the future, Chen Ziming already had a mind about the northern territory. .
