Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 439 Why don't you take the opportunity to take Jiangdong

Everything is going according to plan, but I don't know what kind of bloody storm the Wuhuan people have caused in the Wa Kingdom, but this is not important anymore, Zhou Cang is now eager to return to Xuzhou to take charge of the overall situation.

In February, Zhou Cang arrived at Lushunkou, and in March he arrived in Dongnae. Sun Xing immediately found out and opened the route from Dongnae to Busan and Tudao. By the way, he tried to see if Jeju Island could be used as a transit point.

In mid-March, Zhou Cang returned to Tancheng, the governor of Xuzhou. At this time, Tancheng had been expanded three times, and the permanent residents reached 15.Zhou Cang shook his head. If there is such a scene in Liaodong, why worry about the population? When the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, the population of the whole country was only 700 million. Thinking about it makes me shudder.

Thinking of the population, Zhou Cang has the urge to be a human trafficker.Looking around, Hebei is short of people, Jiangdong is short of people, and Shanyue people can't get them.The densely populated one is Yizhou far in the southwest, the second is Cao Cao's Yanzhou, and the third is Liu Biao's Jingzhou.Yizhou is separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, and Cao Cao dare not make a move. Maybe Jingzhou can make a fuss?

Don't drive Zhao Yu, general Xu Huang led civil and military personnel to meet outside the city, Zhou Cang immediately discussed the matter in Baihutang without taking a break.

Zhao Yu and Xu Huang respectively reported on various tasks during Zhou Cang's absence. In short, nothing happened.

However, Zhou Chong reported an accident. Cao Ren of Wancheng was instructed by Cao Cao to order brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to fight for Liu Bei in Xinye, but they were defeated by Liu Bei. Lu Kuang died at the hands of Zhao Yun, and Lu Xiang died. At the hands of Zhang Fei, Liu Bei took the opportunity to capture Fancheng.The most surprising thing is that Cao Ren seemed to be trying his best to send troops this time, and Erlu retreated back to Wancheng after being beheaded.The second news was already related to Liu Bei, Xu Shu and Xu Yuan went directly to Liu Bei's command as a counselor.The third news is that Cao Cao excavated the Xuanwu Pool in Yecheng to practice the water army.

The Chief of Staff summed up a few pieces of information and came to a conclusion: within two years, Cao Cao would send troops south to Jingzhou. The crusade against Liu Bei was a test, and Er Lu was a stone throwing stones to ask for directions.

Naturally, military issues are not suitable for discussion in public. Zhou Cang changed the subject and said, "The biggest problem I encountered during my inspection tour of Pingzhou and Jeju this time is that there are too few Han people, especially in Jeju, so I decided to immigrate [-] households to Jeju. !"

Zhou Cang's words shocked everyone. If there are 30 households, there will be at least [-] people, accounting for [-]% of Xuzhou's population.

Zhao Yu coughed lightly: "King Wu of Zhou granted Jizi to the land of North Korea. After a long time, he was separated from our great Han country. It is indeed a blessing for our dynasty to let you take him back to the Han border. The Han people are few, and they immigrated to his land to enrich the population. There is nothing wrong with that, but isn’t [-] households too much?”

Of course Zhou Cang couldn't say that this was mainly to prepare for the move to Yingzhou.Before he could speak, Liu Zheng echoed his opinion: "What Zhao Biejia said is true. Such a large-scale emigration will cause the people to leave their homes and fear that they will not obey their orders. If forced, it will inevitably lead to civil uprisings. Second, injuries and illnesses will inevitably occur on the way. , and the cost is huge, I am afraid that the gain outweighs the loss.”

Regarding the difficulties raised by Liu Zheng, Zhou Cang secretly laughed, he was not afraid of your difficulties, but he was afraid of your opposition, "It will not be forced, and there are a lot of fertile land in Jeju. Every immigrant will be granted a hundred acres of land per household and will be exempted from tax for three years. In addition, I have given Dongyi people Chinese nationality, and the common people can intermarry with Dongyi."

Liu Zheng shook his head again and said: "Xuzhou's taxes are already low, so it's hard to move people's hearts."

Zhou Cang frowned tightly, this is indeed a problem. "Since that's the case, then the number of people will not be determined, and the notices will be issued in each county, and the people will go voluntarily." After thinking about it, Zhou Cang felt that there were really not many people willing to go, and said: "If anyone is willing to go to Jeju, One tael of gold was distributed to each household as settling expenses. In addition, those who committed serious crimes, such as those who went to Pingzhou, were reduced by one class; those who committed serious crimes or committed capital crimes, all went to Pingzhou to work for five years, and saw the results to reduce their crimes. "

Zhao Yu and Liu Zheng have nothing to say about these measures. The reduction of criminals is beneficial to the stability of Xuzhou. As for how to go to Jeju, it is natural for Mi Fang to worry about it. As long as the taxes of the people are not increased, it is not a problem to spend more on settling down. The list was announced to all counties and counties, and the task of organizing immigration fell on the two of them, and the prison in Xuzhou was empty.

Zhou Cang said to Han Yue again: "Pingzhou and Jeju are waiting to be rejuvenated. I appoint you as the economic envoy of the two states to coordinate the economy of the two states. You can discuss the specific matters with Su Yang and Mi Fang."

Now that it has three states, and Yingzhou will be added in the next step, there will be four states. How to strengthen the rule over the four states is another problem.Zhou Cang did not dare to turn Xuzhou into a small imperial court, so he could only start with the economy, and after the establishment of the inspector, he set up an economic envoy.

The meeting ended here, and everyone dispersed to go about their own affairs.Zhou Cang left Zhou Wen, Zhou Chong, Xu Huang, and Huang Zhong to hold a military meeting.

"This trip to Liaodong is for inspection, but the main purpose is to plan Xianbei and Wa Kingdoms." Zhou Cang went straight to the point, and except Zhou Wen, who already knew it, the other three were all shocked.

Zhou Cang looked at Xu Huang who couldn't hold back and said: "The land of the Central Plains is still the top priority, so Gongming still needs to sit in Xuzhou to prepare for the big battle."

"The time to go to Xianbei is not yet ripe, so I discussed with Pei Yuanshao and Zang Ba to take Fuyu and Sushen first." Mentioning these two countries, several people were at a loss, and Zhou Cang didn't explain too much. "Xingba should be preparing to cross the sea to attack the Japanese country at this time. I intend to use Huang Xu as the general and lead 6000 infantry to join Liu Qing's [-] troops."

"General Huang, after I occupy the Wa country, I will change its name to Yingzhou, and I will use Huang Xu as the general of Pingwa to sit in Yingzhou."

"Thank you, my lord!" Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said.Although the father and son love each other deeply, but as a general, he has to go to battle, and it is safer to leave the main battlefield of the Central Plains. Huang Zhong is naturally overjoyed.

"Well, when Gong Ming and Han Sheng go back, they will cross the sea with Huang Xu and go to Busan. Prepare more arrows, all the soldiers are in armor, and bring more medicinal materials in case they are not needed." Over the years, Zhou Cang has been hoarding medicinal materials , This time reflects the importance of preparation in advance.According to their thinking, whether it is Fuyu or the Wa Kingdom, they are all backward barbarians, and the army is pointing at them all.

"Zhou Chong, send more people to pay close attention to the movements of Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan." Zhou Cang continued: "Gong Ming and Han Sheng will inform Chen Dao, Liao Hua, Zhuge Dan, Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Ding Feng, etc. People, step up your drills, if the Chief of Staff doesn't expect, Cao Cao will go south when he can't use it, and then there will be another big battle."

Zhou Wen suddenly said: "Master, Cao Cao must take Jingzhou first when going south, why don't we take the opportunity to take Jiangdong?"

Xu Huang immediately agreed: "Yuan Fang's words are very true. Why rush to take the Japanese kingdom? The small land can be taken at any time. Why don't you let Xingba go south, and our water army will be at the same time, Jiangdong can be settled!"
