Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 794

Chapter 799
"More than 100 years ago, our ancestors came to Yizhou. At that time, we Han people and native people lived in peace." Wu Qubing said puzzledly: "It's only since 30 years ago that the relationship between the native people and our Han people The peace was broken, and they began to plunder our villages. Now the big villages are still able to protect themselves, but some small and medium villages, in order to survive, will definitely not refuse to join the Yellow Remembrance City."

Buddhism pays attention to karma.The conflict between the aborigines and the Han people is actually part of the reason for the Han people themselves.Yizhou's territory is not small, but there are not many large-scale fields suitable for farming.In ancient times, the output of farmland was low. It took [-] mu of dry land to feed a family of five. The yield of paddy field was relatively high, but it also needed [-] mu.Yizhou is in a state of anarchy at this time, and whoever opens the land counts.However, there are not many that are close to the river, convenient for irrigation, and have fertile land.Most of the land is far away from the river, which is not convenient for irrigation.Such a field can only rely on the sky for food.

Most of the earliest Han people who migrated to Yizhou were those who could not survive in Soochow. Such immigrants were usually small-scale immigrants, or three or five families, or one family drifted here by boat.Because they came earlier, they could choose relatively convenient irrigation and fertile land for farming.Later, the Western Jin Dynasty was dying, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was established, and the clothes were moved to the south. A large number of landlords or poor families and ordinary people who moved to the south were precarious when the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a lot of people and little land.What's more, there were frequent wars in the early days of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the northern immigrants who thought they could live a better life by moving to the south of the Yangtze River were desperate.In order to survive and continue their family, they had no choice but to turn to Yizhou when they couldn't compete with the gentry.

At this time, the people who voluntarily immigrated to Yizhou were not small-scale like those before, but went to sea in the form of relatives or clans, or several clans united together.It has to be said that the Han people lack pioneering spirit. Although Yizhou is large enough, these later immigrants set their sights on the land developed by the first immigrants.Whose land will be given away for nothing, and the early immigrants and the late immigrants have conflicts because of good fields and bad fields.

Although the number of immigrants in the early stage was small, they were basically a whole, and most of them were related by marriage, while the immigrants who arrived in the later stage were unfamiliar with their places of life.If it is a fight by force, it is not only morally unjustifiable, but the key is that the immigrants may not necessarily win later.Some, like Wu Village, promised to give up some of their own rights and join other villages.In order to obtain good land, some smart people began to have evil thoughts.

They sent goods and women to the aborigines so that they could deal with the villages where the Han people first immigrated.The aborigines got the property and women of the early settlers, while the late settlers got good fields.In fact, because the aborigines are too closed, their wisdom is limited.But these selfish Han people fed these aborigines into a devil because of their different interests.

We all know that if a bulldog (such as a Tibetan mastiff) is fed cooked food from an early age, such a Tibetan mastiff will be vicious but humane.If they are directly fed with raw meat or live livestock, such Tibetan mastiffs will actually be useless, and they will bite even their owners.In fact, the aborigines have the same temperament as Tibetan mastiffs. If they hadn’t seen the benefits of robbery, they would not have gone out of the mountains, but after seeing the benefits of getting something for nothing, they fell in love with this kind of life. "As far as we are concerned, our strength is still very weak. But the city guard believes that we will be able to unify Yizhou in the future!" Ran Zhi said: "We are weak and have no offensive power, but we can use the city to defend against the attacks of the natives. The current city is too small, we need to expand it further and build a city that can accommodate at least 2 people,"

Wu Qubing heard that the city was going to be expanded, which made him both excited and worried: "It's great to build our own city, but we don't have enough manpower!"

Ran Zhi smiled and said: "Manpower is easy to manage? When we have trained the army well, we will take the initiative to attack those indigenous tribes and capture their young and strong as slaves. In the future, we will cultivate land, build bridges, pave roads, build cities, build Houses, mines, and ditches are all done by slaves!"

Wu Qubing said: "The city guards don't know something. The natives on Yizhou Island are very lazy. When they are full, they will wait until they are hungry. They don't want to do anything. Teach them to farm, and they won't, let alone Said to build a bridge and pave the road."

"Really?" Ran Zhi said with a smile: "It's better to see the guards of the city. Is it their bones or our whips? Under the knife, they will learn these skills in the shortest time."

At this time, Wu Qubing said: "City guard. We have already had a bad relationship with Arika's department this time. Based on Qubing's understanding of them, they have suffered a small loss this time, and they will definitely not let it go. "

Ran Zhi asked, "Based on Wu Zhubo's understanding of the Ministry of Arika, how many people can they dispatch?"

Wu Qubing said: "There are 5 to 8000 people in Arika's department, and there are [-] to [-] young people among them. With Liu Meng's character of holding grudges, if he doesn't destroy Yihuang City this time, he will definitely not give up. .”

Ran Zhi pondered, although it is impossible to bring all the 8000 troops of Arika's army at once, even if 5000 troops are dispatched, it is not something that the little Yihuangcheng can handle.Right now, Yihuang only has [-] troops, [-] of which are young guards with little fighting power.

"Now we have to expand our army!" Zhenyi Captain Yang Yun said: "We have absorbed the population of Wu Village, of which there are more than 100 villagers in Wu Village. Pawns. Coupled with our own manpower, we can expand two garrisons on the original basis. It's just that the armed equipment is a bit tight!"

"For the issue of weapons and equipment, I will come up with a solution! The two new villages can be trained for half a month, and then the original three villages and the two new villages will be dispersed, and the old will bring the new. Form five villages. This will ensure the combat effectiveness of the five villages." Ran Zhi said: "Recently, the city guard has also figured out the terrain around Yihuang City. In Yihuang City, the North Sea is the sea, and the east and west are large volcanoes and There is no passable road in Wuzhishan Mountain. If Arika's troops attack Yihuang City, the Shiziling in the south is the only way to pass. We can build fortifications in Shiziling to form a pass. Take the 24 ships on our battleship All eight oxen crossbows and six catapults were dismantled and moved to Shiziling. Two villages were stationed in Shiziling, and 150 sailors and craftsmen were dispatched to assist in the operation of eight oxen crossbows and catapults. In this way, we can Rejecting the enemy's borders will not cause delays in the construction period because of foreign enemies' invasion of the border."

"Yes, city guard!" Yang Yun stood up and clasped his fists: "I'll arrange it immediately."

Ran Zhi nodded: "We have a foothold, so our development plan can be implemented. Comprehensive development, especially the education of talents is very important, and it also determines how far our group can go in the future. We recall that in Huangcheng, if there is a shortage of talents, it is still very difficult to attract talents from the Central Plains. Unless they cannot survive, no one is willing to move to Yizhou. Even if they are tied around their necks with a knife frame, they can get them. Therefore, for future development, we must reserve talents. Although the establishment of a school is urgent, but we do not have the strength to support it, so, this city guard has an opinion, that is, in all our people In the meantime, if you are self-motivated, you can read and read with the guards of the city at night. In addition, I recall that many tasks in Huangcheng are not manned, not even a small official, so for future work, we must train talents .

"Although we currently only have one city, this city has not yet been completed." Ran Zhi said, "I believe that one day we will occupy the entire Yizhou. Yizhou is about the same size as Yuzhou. Yuzhou has 97 cities in ten counties. Yizhou will build at least a hundred new cities in the future. It is not difficult to build hundreds of cities. We can do it when we expel all the natives and unite our descendants. But we have enough talents to manage these people A city? We can build ourselves without a city, and we can cultivate without talents. Wu Zhubo!"

When Wu Qubing heard Ran Zhi call his name, he followed Yang Yun's example, got up respectfully and said, "The job is here!"

Ran Zhi said: "Master Bo Shen is confidential, and you are in charge of the affairs of the government. You are responsible for recruiting at least ten assistant officials yourself, training them yourself, and making them qualified for the post of secretary as soon as possible!"

"I understand!"

Ran Zhi nodded, and said to Luo Yuhu, Fang Yucheng and others: "You are the same."

Zhou Chao, a member of the Zhou surname in Wu Village, was appointed by Ran Zhi as the governor.Zhou Chao was the most famous blacksmith in Wu Village, and he was the best at blacksmithing.Although Yang Yun also recruited many craftsmen, Ran Zhi saw that although Zhou Chao was not young, he spoke clearly, and the key was that Zhou Chao could read.

Ran Zhi said: "Zhou Dujian, the site selection should be decided as soon as possible, and the structure of the prison should be established. At present, there are no iron mines near Huangcheng, and our armor can only be purchased from outside. Not only is it inconvenient to buy, but it also requires a lot of money. It costs a lot of money, and money is the thing we are most lacking right now."

Zhou Chaodao: "City Guard, our Kuaiji Zhou family was originally a famous family in Kuaiji, but the clan's evil minister Wang Dun was ruined. Our branch moved to Yizhou, but Sifang was exiled to Qiongzhou. The Sifang clan The business in Qiongzhou is Haimao, they have money in their hands, we can buy iron from them, and build our own armor!"

Ran Zhi nodded. Now he only has three thousand gold in his hand, which is equivalent to 3000 million yuan. If he buys iron, he can buy 30 catties.Ran Zhi thought for a while, and felt that it was not too expensive to buy finished equipment from Wei Guo, so he chose to build it himself.Ran Zhi was not ambiguous, and directly asked Sicang Zhongfang Yucheng to hand over one thousand gold to Zhou Chao, and asked him to buy [-] catties of iron from the Zhou family in Qiongzhou.

Recalling Huangcheng is located in the northern basin, which is a very rare small hilly area in Yizhou. The forest here is not too dense, and there are not many large prey.For farming people, a family of five only needs [-] mu of dry land, or [-] mu of paddy field, and [-] mu for two rice crops.For nomads, to feed a family requires at least twenty miles of lush pastures.But hunter-gatherers need a wider range.Otherwise there would not be enough prey to feed them.

Recalling that there are not too many tribes within a hundred miles around Huangcheng, this also gives Ran Zhi a larger living space.After half a month of difficult transportation, the eight-ox crossbow and trebuchet dismantled from the battleship were all transported to Shiziguan.Within half a month, Yang Yun also built a semi-permanent defense facility at Shiziguan.

Such a simple city wall built with wooden piles and mud is very weak for the Han army.But for the natives who don't even have a hard bow, this defense is a barrier for them to cross.Just one month after Ran Zhi arrived in Yizhou, Yihuangcheng welcomed a group of guests.This is a representative of the original Wu Village who was invited by Wu Qubing to have relatives in-laws or good friends.This line represents a total of six people, each belonging to three villages.These three villages are all Han villages living in the Central Basin. Since the largest Wu village has taken refuge in Yihuangcheng, they have also been hit hard by the aborigines.Fortunately, the Ministry of Arika put its main energy on Wu Village, which gave them a chance to breathe.

Now that Wu Village is dead, they also know that Liu Meng will not let them go.After receiving Wu Qubing's invitation, the originally uneasy villagers of Sancun didn't say anything, and brought them directly to Yihuang City.

After a month of hard work, Yihuang City already had a rough outline, even though it was just an outline, it gave them a great shock.You must know that the Han people have migrated to Yizhou for more than 100 years, but they have never built their own city. It is ridiculous to say that even if Yizhou is only three or four hundred years old, a city appeared in time and space more than 400 years ago. Not only these ancients would be surprised, even if Ran Ming were to come over, he would also be inexplicably surprised.

"Master Chengshou, recalling the scene of Huangcheng is indeed an eye-opener for the old man. I am afraid there are at least 3000 Han Chinese gathered here?" The older man is Liu Defa, the head of Yuanyang Village.In this era, mandarin ducks do not represent the love between men and women, but the brotherhood.The origin of Yuanyang Village is said to be established by eight brothers with different surnames from different clans.Although the population of Yuanyang Village is not the largest, only 400 people, they are the most vicious of all the Han villages in Yizhou.Because the ancestors of this village were not ordinary civilians, but pirates.Yuanyang Village not only farms land, but also operates marine trade. Not only the Han villages have good relations with them, but even the natives dare not offend them too much.Even so, the situation in Yuanyang Village is not very good. After all, the population of Yuanyang Village is limited. Even if all males from the age of 13 to under 50 are counted, there are only 700 people.These 700 people are naturally not weak against ordinary indigenous tribes, but the Arika tribe, which has become stronger through mergers, has 5 to [-] people.
