Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 505 The Tampered Nian Nujiao

On April 29, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng and [-] sailors returned to Xuzhou, and the smog that shrouded Zhou Cang's heart finally dissipated.

According to Gan Ning, everything is going well in Yingzhou, with a good momentum of development.The combat effectiveness of the Japanese is extremely low, short in stature, lack of weapons, and the army is scattered. The two armies will collapse in a head-on confrontation.However, the Japanese are as tenacious as Xiaoqiang, and they can survive in even the worst environment, and they look for opportunities to sneak attack and cause a little trouble for the army. What Xiaoqiang said, Gan Ning still listened to Zhou Cang.

Xu Shu showed superhuman talent. When the army advanced to a place, Xu Shu chose a place to set up a county. The county magistrate and officials were all selected in Jeju. Difficult to attack.Each county also organizes young and strong to form a self-defense force, which is enough to protect itself.When we left Yingzhou, the nine counties on the main island had all been set up.The disadvantage is that this year's harvest may not be much, and it needs to be donated from Xuzhou and other places.

There were 30 Japanese captured from the main island. This is the number after excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled.Among them, 20 were expelled to various places to build roads and cities, and another 5 were sent to Liu Li and Zhang Xiong to mine and refine silver.Speaking of silver mines, Gan Ning is a little bit from ear to ear. He estimates that it can reach [-] taels in just one month.

Zhou Xi, Zhen Yao, Liu Qing, and Huang Xu assisted Xu Shu. With the abilities of five people, Yingzhou can be kept safe.In less than three years, self-sufficiency can be achieved. This is the advantage of a large land, few people, a lot of money, and no foreign enemies.

Tai Shixiang is cruising in the Bohai Sea, Sun Da travels between Yingzhou and Jeju, and Sun Xing is in Donglai, forming an iron triangle, firmly controlling the northern sea area.

He made new achievements, but Gan Ning didn't care about the official position and rewards, and asked Zhou Cang if there was any war.Looking at Gan Ning's eager eyes, Zhou Cang felt very helpless, war madman.

"Xingba, don't be impatient. It is indeed a big deal to ask you to come back, but you should not be so anxious. You have been away for several years, so take a good rest for a few days to get used to the climate of the Central Plains. Well, I will give you a month, you see. Dianman, Pei Feng, Zhang Xiong, and Xu Gai are all adults, why are you not in a hurry, you get married first, and having a big fat boy is the real thing." Isn't this delaying the child's soy sauce?

Uh, is that what calling yourself back is all about?Gan Ning looked at Zhou Wen.

"Yeah, you've found the right person. Yuan Fang is the best matchmaker." Zhou Cang smiled secretly. "Yuanba's life-long affairs are entrusted to you. If you can't finish them in a month, you have to ask."

Zhou Wen and Gan Ning handled affairs quickly, within three days, the marriage was settled, and they were married on the fifth day.Gan Ning didn't choose at all, and he couldn't say he didn't choose. His condition was that he was healthy and fertile.This is no one.

Gan Ning returned, Qu A followed closely behind, Lu Qiling returned with him, and his second son, Qu Ping, who was born in Liaodong, was named after him because he was born in Pingzhou. Grandson, I can't help but go to Lu Bu's grave to mourn a few words.

The news brought back by Qu'a is even more exciting. The population of Liaodong is rising steadily. Although after several immigrations, the population still reaches 180 million. It is said that Jilin under Zang Ba's rule also reached 15.Grain production has grown even more rapidly. It has been a bumper harvest for five consecutive years. Wild sorghum has been found.With the help of Xun Chen, old Zhang Jiong lived a very free and easy life, showing signs of rejuvenation.

The Liaodong and Yingzhou strategies can come to an end.Zhou Cang no longer has any worries. Wait until next year or the year after, when silver coins are promoted and new laws are issued, it will become its own autonomous kingdom, with a population of more than 200 million, 30 horses, three strong cities, and an invincible navy, enough to resist any foreign land. .

Qu'a was also on vacation for a month. Zhou Cang called Yang Rui to assign a task to order spies from various places to find out the population of each place, especially the young and strong males, and to find out the grain production.Zhou Cang didn't believe it anymore. After the disputes between the princes, the battle of Guandu, the chaos of Jizhou, and the fierce battle of Chibi, at least 50 soldiers died, and the number of people was countless. The population of the world has not decreased sharply?
Especially after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao mobilized his troops, how many died in battle, died of illness, and escaped. Without three or two years of self-cultivation, how could Cao Cao return to his original state.

The household registration and the number of acres of land have always been confidential, but the confidentiality has never been kept by people. The gold in Jiaodong is too much to spend. Zhou Cang granted Yang Rui 2000 taels of gold and asked him to find ways to bribe the small officials in various places. It is safe and hidden.

On May [-]th, Yang Rui came to see Zhou Cang, and Zhou Yu, the governor of Eastern Wu, died of illness.Zhou Cang was shocked, no way, Zhou Yu will not be mad at Zhuge Liang for at least another two years, why is he gone now?
"Uh, my lord. Zhou Yu didn't die of anger, but died of illness." Yang Rui was very surprised why Zhou Cang said how Zhou Yu could die of anger.

"Heaven is jealous of talents." Zhou Cang sighed, "Let Wang Can go to Jiangdong as an envoy to mourn Zhou Lang for me."

"The great river goes east, the waves wash away, and there are ancient romantic figures. To the west of the old base, the human way is, Lujiang Zhoulang Red Cliff. The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves beat the shore, and rolled up thousands of piles of snow. The mountains and rivers are picturesque, and there are so many heroes at a time. Looking into the distance Gong Jin is like a face, Xiao Qiao is married for the first time, majestic and heroic. Feather fan and scarf, while talking and laughing, the mast and scull fly to ashes and smoke. Dreaming and wandering, if you laugh at me passionately, can you grow up? Life is like a dream, and a statue is still in the river moon. "

Su Dacai's Chibi nostalgia is too famous, Zhou Cang couldn't help singing a falsified version of Nian Nujiao, anyway, no one knows, and changing a few words seems a bit out of place, so he will just do it.Under Yang Rui's push, this song worshiping Zhou Lang was quickly spread in Xuzhou.

Zhou Cang called Zhou Wen, Lu Xun, Deng Ai, and Gan Ning. "Zhou Yu died of illness, Jingzhou is in trouble again, how do you think I, Xuzhou, should deal with it?"

Zhou Wen looked at Lu Xun, and Lu Xun said, "The Chief of Staff has already made a judgment on this, and we should look at the next move of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei before making a plan. However, Zhou Yu's sudden death will definitely lead to many variables: First, Cao Cao will come back again. Sending troops to the south, and the second is that Sun and Liu turned against each other and launched a struggle for Jingnan. In my opinion, the possibility of the two is very small. The third is that Sun and Liu continue to form an alliance to resist Cao Cao."

Deng Ai seconded, adding: "I think so too. Cao Cao is most worried about the alliance between Sun and Liu, so he will not use troops easily until the alliance is broken, so he will do everything possible to drive a wedge between the two sides. If Zhou Yu is here, Sun and Liu may be able to Once the war started, once Zhou Yu died, Sun Quan would have the desire for peace, but Liu Bei would not be able to do so."

It is rare for a 14-year-old to have such insight.Zhou Wen didn't intend to let him go: "Then what should I do in Xuzhou?"

Gan Ning interjected, "Whether it's Cao Cao or Sun Quan, what is there to be afraid of? At the command of my lord, I'm willing to lead my troops to defeat them!"

"General Xingba, don't do it!" Deng Ai hurriedly said: "At this time, all parties are truce, seemingly calm, but they are actually accumulating strength. Once our army is dispatched, it will only be used by others and become a stepping stone for others!"
