Chapter 467: Up North and Down South


The Han State is currently only a military power, and the people's livelihood is basically withered except for Qingzhou, but in general, the Han people living in it are happy to see the country strong militarily.

There are many reasons why the Han people are willing to see the state pay attention to the military, but they have encountered the brutal rule of foreign races in the past few decades, and they are willing to support the construction of the army even if the days are hard, not to mention that the state really treats small households with private land in terms of taxation, and the conscription is actually more like a disguised status of the people to provide labor in exchange for two meals a day.

Liu Yan saw Xie Daoyun, nothing too special happened, just chatted, asked interesting things along the way, and then separated.

"Uncle."

Xie Daoyun was riding in the same carriage as Xie An, she looked at Xie An, whose skin had darkened because of the continuous battles, and asked softly: "Has King Han always been so easygoing?"

It should be said that Xie Daoyun's first impression of Liu Yan is very good, in addition to Liu Yan's good appearance, the most profound thing should be that Liu Yan's personality looks gentle and talkative, unlike some kings who only care about posing majestic.

"The king is indeed gentle with his ministers."

Xie An knew that the time Liu Yan was angry was when Shi Hu provoked a racial vendetta, and the rest of the time, Liu Yan always seemed very indifferent.

He didn't want to talk too much about the king's affairs, and said to Xie Daoyun: "The post house won't go back." ” It was arranged by Linzi Ling Ah Xiang before, otherwise Xie Daoyun should indeed go to Xie An's side to live after arriving in Linzi.

"Uncle is about to leave for the south" Xie Daoyun is not actually concerned about the Civil War, nor does he doubt that Xie An will abide by his position in that war, she didn't have much anxiety before, and after really meeting Liu Yan, her psychology became different.

She said, "Auntie will be in the capital."

Xie An's wife is Liu, the sister of Liu Yi, a Qing talker.

She came from the south of the Yangtze River at the end of the second year of Yuan Shuo, and carried a lot of people and wealth, all of which were obtained from the Xie family.

They have been married for a long time and have never had children.

In fact, the sons of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty basically got married very late, and the birth was even later, and it was often two men and women from a family who were married for many years before they officially married, resulting in a situation where there were few fathers and sons.

Xie An was somewhat melancholy about going south to participate in the invasion war, not only because the governor of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was Xie Shi, but also because the attitude of the Han State towards the southern family had become increasingly obvious.

Regarding how to deal with the families south of the Yangtze River after the invasion, the center of the Han State formulated a group of pulls, a group, and a group of kills.

It is actually very clear who should be wooed, that is, who is useful to the southern invasion of the Han army and is willing to take refuge, then who is the target of wooing.

There is no need to talk much about beating a batch and killing a batch.

What made Xie An feel melancholy was that the center's will for the redistribution of resources in the south was extremely firm, so regardless of whether he was willing to be co-opted or not, the southern family would definitely not be able to control the huge resources anymore.

Xie Daoyun stayed in Xie Mansion here, and what happened was skipped, and the southern affairs about Liu Yan, the king of Han, recognizing his family, were very strange.

Liu Yan, the king of Han, accepted that there were many interpretations of the marriage, and it was certain that no matter what the outcome of the Xie family would be after this war, the Xie family would definitely continue to be rich anyway.

Originally, those who originally wanted the daughter of the family to marry, but later regretted it, waited for the situation to develop into a moment when the Civil War would inevitably break out, and they didn't know how bitter it was in their hearts.

The season enters the beginning of spring, and the south is the first area to start preparing for farming, and from south to north due to the change of climate, all places enter the busy agricultural period.

After the advent of spring, the Han army, which was waiting on various fronts, began to move southward again, with a total size of more than 400,000 and no less than 200,000 soldiers.

After a few months of buffering, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was preparing for war as best as it could in the midst of internal strife, and they deployed their forces according to the distribution of the Han army.

The movements of the Han army stationed along the Yangtze River are not difficult to explore, the river capital of Xuzhou is one, the Ruyin of Yuzhou has the most troops, and the north of Jingzhou is also one.

After the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty repeatedly expanded its army, the number of troops belonging to the imperial court increased from 200,000 to 360,000.

Xie Shi led 100,000 troops stationed along the Shouchun line, Wang Gong commanded 50,000 troops to be stationed along the northern line of Jingzhou, and Guozhang Chu Li sat in Jiankang and led 150,000 troops to defend Dantu along the line.

The remaining troops, if they need to defend the place, must be to guard against the Yue and the barbarians.

Speaking of which, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been suffering from all kinds of Yue people's troubles, that is the problem left over from the Eastern Wu period, and when the small court ruled the south, the rebellion of Zhuyue was even worse, especially the more south the region, the more frequent the rebellion of the Yue people, mainly concentrated in Jian'an County, Fujian Province and Zhejiang part, south of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, Guangxi part, Jiaozhou and southern Vietnam.

The national troubles of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were not only Zhuyue, but also Zhubarbarians.

At present, the barbarians mentioned are more targeted, and most of Guangxi in the north and west of Guangzhou, Gaizhou, Guizhou, Ningzhou, and Yunnan are the most troubled, and from time to time a chaos will break out.

The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty adopted two methods against Zhuyue and Zhuman, which was nothing more than to pacify and suppress, and there were more appeasements and appeasements to Zhuyue, and there was chaos and suppression of Zhuman.

The Civil War was about to break out, and Wang Xizhi's brother, the son of Wang Shao and Wang Dao, led the army in the south, regardless of the season, in order to settle the rear and prevent chaos in the rear when a major war broke out on the northern front.

I have to say that Wang Shao is also a talker and calligrapher, his military position is to lead the army, and he does not personally command the army in battle, but is the Wang clan's master who will regulate and command the troops in the future.

"It took almost six months for the small imperial court to stabilize the rear," Ji Chang seemed to have a sneer on the corner of his mouth before he continued: "I heard that the non-combat losses are very large. ” Today is a small court meeting, Liu Yan is of course sitting in the position where he should be sitting, and the ministers and workers of the train below are kneeling and sitting in their own places.

The difference between the small court meeting and the big court meeting is that the scale of the participants is not large, and the main participants are the chief officials of a department, unlike the high-ranking officials who are in the capital during the big court meeting, all of whom need to be present.

The Central Plains has a deep impression of the south, the water network is dense in one place, and the mountains, hills, and ridges are another.

From the time the First Emperor formed the Southern Xinjiang Army to attack the southwest, he had to add dense jungles and swamps and miasma everywhere in his impression.

"After the small court moved to the south, the biggest victory for the outside world was to capture Jiaozhou and put it within the scope of governance."

Jiaozhou in the mouth of Sang Yu was called Jiaozhi a long time ago, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty still belonged to the territory of the Heavenly Empire, Shi's Shixie did not split under the governance of Shixie, Shishi fell but was independent by the local aborigines, the Eastern Wu period fought once only recovered the part, and it was really to the small court to move south before taking it back.

He said with a little curiosity: "I heard that it is a grain producing area."

Of course, Liu Yan knows where Jiaozhou is, and that place is really a large grain-producing area, and rice can be harvested three times a year.

In addition to the fact that it is easy for crops to grow because of the climate, Jiaozhou also has the largest anthracite coal reserves in Asia, one of the world's top ten iron mines, and the rest of the tree resources, copper ore resources, and silver resources are also very rich.

The coastal routes of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were actually very prosperous, and there were countless ships coming and going in the South China Sea, and there were also things about transporting grain from Jiaozhou to help emergencies when there was a famine.

In addition, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also established diplomatic relations with Funan and Linyi, and some of the pearls, corals and other things used by the family to fight for wealth came from trade with the two countries.

If the Han army wants to attack the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in addition to the large army along the Yangtze River, of course, the advantage on the sea will not be abandoned, so it is necessary to understand the states and counties in the south of the small court.

The Han State began to explore the sea routes of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty from the second year of Yuan Shuo, mainly concentrated in Yangzhou, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, along the East China Sea.

It was only in the third year of Yuan Shuo that it approached Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou was within the territory of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Han army landed many times to reconnoiter inward, but what was found was that the local area was actually divided and autonomous.

"Sooner or later, it will be ours."

Huan Wen has received the task of conquering the Li clan into Han, and the northern part of Jiaozhou is Ningzhou.

After completing the task of destroying the Li clan Chenghan, he continued to move south, and the goal was Ningzhou: "If the war goes well, please allow the ministers to advance there." ” Of course, Liu Yan attached great importance to the invasion of the south of the Yangtze River, but he was a little uncertain about whether the war would be fast or slow.

The Han army will adopt a strategy of attacking in many places, there are three along the Yangtze River, and it can be confirmed that it will also send troops to land in the east of Yangzhou, and whether to land from Jiangzhou depends on the actual situation.

The territory occupied by the Chenghan of the Li clan is not large, that is, a small area in Shu and the western part of Jingzhou, and the military strength should be 70,000 or 80,000.

Huan Wen began to study the attack on Li Chenghan a few years ago, and what is more tangled is that he studied from the south to the northwest, but he really did not study from the north to the south.

Shu has been the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty since the pre-Qin destroyed the ancient Shu Kingdom, the number of classics is very large, and it is not difficult to find the distribution of mountains and rivers from some maps.

Shaofu is a department that manages the king's private property, and the number of maps collected about various places is the largest, and Huan Wen found a map about Shu and began to study it, so that one Han army went to the north of Jingzhou, and the other Han army re-entered Guanzhong.

Liu Yan is very happy to see Huan Wen's ambition high, that is, the terrain of Shu is already complicated, and it is easier to walk on the road There are either checkpoints or passes along the way, and it is really not too easy to fight.

If you want to enter Ningzhou from Shudi, you need to climb more mountains than from Guanzhong to Shudi or Jingzhou to Shudi.

In fact, there are plank roads and some roads opened in history in Guanzhong into Shu, and various dynasties have not paid attention to Shu into the southwest, and it is also from Shu to Guizhou, and Guizhou is not the conquest place of the Huanwen army.

At the end of the small court, Liu Yan needed to make the final preparations for the trip to the northwest, and the ministers also had their own things to do.

For example, Xie An wants to go south, Huan Wen wants to enter Shu, and the rest of the people who need to accompany Liu Yan on patrol should arrange things at home.

Liu Yan's tour was on February 2, but now there is no talk of a dragon raising its head, it is a festival that only appeared after Wu Zetian took power.

The team on patrol is very large, not only Liu Yan and his family, but also the whole family.

In this way, Liu Yan has decided to temporarily move the center to Yecheng, where the geographical location determines that not only can he pay attention to the war on the northern front, but also the contact with the southern front will be much faster than in Linzi.

It has only been two years since Linzi became the temporary capital, and there is no deep-rooted concept, and there is no environment for regional disputes, but there is not as much trouble as some dynasties when they want to change the capital.

Liu Yan temporarily moved the center to Yecheng this time, although the palace facilities on the Yecheng side are complete, but he does not want to use Yecheng as the capital of the next step.

As soon as the patrol team left, six days later, as the stargazer had speculated, the Bohai Sea in the east first began to rain, and then moved inland, and most of Qingzhou began to enter the rainy season of the new year.

"It's good to rain."

Liu Yan's understanding of farming is like this, but he is very aware of the importance of water to farming: "Autumn in Qingzhou will be a good season for a good harvest. ” The six-day itinerary allowed the patrol team to enter Lu County, and then enter Dongping County, taking the route of Jibei County, Puyang County, Dunqiu County and then Wei County.

"Stability has begun to return to the rest of the country."

Cui Wan was teasing her son in her arms, she was canonized as a princess on the day of the Winter Solstice Festival, and she would be the queen in the future, not only the Cui family was happy, but the wealthy families in Jizhou were also greatly emboldened.

On her left sat the sullen Tuoba Xiu, and on her right was Sang Miao, who participated in the teasing of the child, and said: "The king has also exempted those newly recovered places from taxes for three years, and they will soon regain their popularity." ” The tax exemption is Liu Yan's canonization of Cui Wan as the queen and the announcement to the world at the same time, but the levy did not say that it would not be levied again, and the people of the Han Kingdom will inevitably mention Cui Wan when they thank Liu Yan.

Sang Miao is nineteen years old this year, is Sang Yu's sister, she was in the second year of Yuan Shuo with Liu Yan, and is currently a thousand stone Yulu, the position is more than the twelfth rank of the left more.

Xie Daoyun sat in the corner of the chariot, she was actually quite resistant to riding Wang Chariot together, firstly, it was not proper to be married officially, and secondly, she was not familiar with the other mothers, and unless someone went over to talk for a few days, she was watching quietly.

Liu Yan did not say a word, his entry into Yecheng is a very memorable thing, and he will go to Xiangguo to walk around to show that the Han State has won a great victory over Shijie Zhao.

In a special political sense, it is inevitable to carry out the necessary deterrence of Ran Min's Northern Expeditionary Corps and beat Ran Min a little.

That is the speed of Ran Min's expansion of the army is too fast, although the realization center has confirmed that Ran Min can recruit local soldiers, the problem is that in less than a year, the Northern Expeditionary Corps under Ran Min has increased from 140,000 to nearly 400,000
