"Are we leaving like this?"
Hankou Town, an emerging town.
Located at the mouth of the Han River, there was no town of Hankou ten years ago, where there was Jiangxia in the south and Hanyang in the west, across the river.
But now, in just ten years, a new town stands on the north bank of the Han River into the mouth of the Yangtze River, between Jiangxia and Hanyang, emerging but prosperous.
It's even more lively than the first two old towns.
Hankou is now more connected with Jingdezhen, Foshan Town, and Qiu Town, and is called the Central Plains.
The bustling Hankou Wharf and the nine-storey Hankou Customs House stands tall nearby.
As a port close to the capital and in an important position at the intersection of the Jianghan and Han Dynasties, it has long been opened up as a foreign trade port.
Like many treaty ports, Hankow's import and export trade flourished, leading to the formation of a large handicraft area in nearby Hanyang and Jiangxia, with a variety of workshops and a large number of workers.
The three adjacent towns can be said to be alongside Yangzhou on the east side of the Yangtze River.
The eldest grandson Wuji stood at the bow of the ship, looking at this prosperous commercial port, and sighed.
The rise of such a prosperous town also has the strength of his eldest grandson's family.
In the past, among the many families in the three towns of Hankou, his eldest grandson's family also played a pivotal role in them, and their family's industries were everywhere in the wharf, commercial streets, and handicraft areas.
Although it is not as good as Zhang Jiaqiang, it is also extraordinary.
That's a lot of effort.
But now, all the properties of the eldest grandson's family in Hankou Town, including land, real estate, shops, workshops, etc., have all been forced to sell.
There is no place for their home here.
The eldest grandson's family not only withdrew from Hankou, but also the base camp of Luoyang, the central capital of Hanjing, the eastern capital Dengzhou, the western capital of Chang'an, the northern capital Taiyuan, the southern capital Guangzhou, as well as Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, Hangzhou and other emerging cities, all of the industries that their eldest grandson family worked hard to manage and arrange.
There are also dozens of fiefs such as Yili's fiefdom, and the eldest grandson clan has also withdrawn.
Actually, I don't want to leave, but I really want to stay.
But this is the last bottom line that Zhang Chao gave him, and if he goes now, he can still take a complete Chang grandson, and with a lot of property, he will make a comeback overseas.
If you refuse to leave, the eldest grandson family will inevitably be destroyed.
"Those damn vampires, wolves" The eldest grandson cursed hatefully, the time was too short, the eldest grandson family sold their properties from all over the place, and sold them like jumping off a building, but the damned capitalists of those wealthy nobles were still bargaining, all kinds of plundering and biting.
All the properties were not sold to half of the actual amount.
"Don't keep thinking about what is lost, if you lose it, you will lose it, we have to look forward."
The eldest grandson, Wuji, looked back at the other ships that were preparing.
It's a large fleet, with hundreds of ships large and small.
The ship was full of the people of the Changsun clan, as well as all kinds of things they needed when they arrived in Nashinryuk.
This is only a small part of their fleet, and there are still their fleets in Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, Jiankang, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Qinzhou, and Jiaozhou.
The entire Luoyang Changsun clan moved, which was a big migration.
In order to gain a foothold there, the eldest grandson used the money from the sale of the property to buy many ships and slaves at a high price.
I bought all kinds of supplies, anyway, it was difficult to use the money from the Central Plains, but the coins were forbidden to be carried out of the country.
Then you can only purchase it here at one time, and how much can you take away.
The combined fleet of the eldest grandson family will have a population of more than 20,000, and there will also be various livestock.
"I'm really unwilling."
The eldest grandson rushed.
"The winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, what is there to be unwilling to.
We're defeated now, so we're leaving, but we're not going to forget this day.
Chong'er, remember this moment, in Hanjing City, Zhang Chao and other rebellious ministers and thieves are carnivaling, but we can only leave gloomily. ” "But, one day, we'll come back."
"When will that day be?"
The eldest grandson Chong is very confused and pessimistic about the future.
They were driven out of the Central Plains, and they relied on these 20,000 people to go to distant Xinliu to ask when they could develop Ten years, twenty years, or fifty years and one hundred years Zhang Chao already has the world, and the population of the new dynasty has exceeded 90 million. 20,000 against 90 million, their 20,000 are still within Zhang Chao's 90 million, how to fight "Whether it's 50 years or 100 years, as long as we remember this day and keep in mind the goal of coming back in the future, we will come back sooner or later.
Or a hundred years is not enough, then two hundred years, the eldest grandson family, after all, will return to the Central Plains one day. ” "How to do it," Changsun Chong asked.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, looked back at the people who were still carrying things on the boat.
The 20,000 people he took with him were mainly slaves, and there were fewer Han Chinese.

There were even fewer Han women, but there was no way, there were not many people who were willing to go to Africa with them, and thousands of nobles were exiled at once, and hundreds of families were exiled, all of them were in a hurry to recruit people.
No matter how high the conditions are, it will be difficult to recruit people.
"We have to build an army first."
The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"Young slaves are selected from among the slaves and trained strictly."
"But we have too few people, can we be reliable with slave soldiers?"
The eldest grandson, Wuji, had no other choice, if he had enough manpower, he would not arm a group of slaves at all.
But now, there was no one else to use him except slaves.
He couldn't even mix slaves and freedmen, so he had to put the burden of defense on them.
The Turks, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Tiele, Linyi, etc., many slaves were bought by him.
"As long as these slave soldiers are loyal and brave, then after meritorious service, they can be rewarded and even free."
Changsun Chong was even more pessimistic, basing his hope for the future on a group of Huyi barbarian slaves, which was pessimistic to think about.
"When we get to Xinliuqiu, when we have the chance, we can buy some slave children over there and train them ourselves, so that they will be more loyal to us."
The eldest grandson Wuji said to his son, "I once heard Zhang Chao say that in the courts of Rome and the Persians, there were some brave cavalry of the Guards, these cavalry of the Guards were slaves, bought at a very young age, and then castrated them, after a long period of rigorous training, they became a loyal and brave cavalry. ” The eldest grandson of the "eunuch cavalry" was greatly surprised when he heard this.
"The children of the Zhang family, each of them can get a hundred partners of the same age when they are young.
They have eaten, lived, trained, studied together since childhood, and cultivated their relationship since childhood, making them the closest partners. ” "Zhang Jing now has five hundred such partner knights, and Zhang Hui, Zhang Cong and other children of the Zhang family each have at least one hundred such partner knights.
When these companions grow up, they become knightly squires, knights, and then their personal guard officers, and even vassals of their fiefs in the future, becoming their most trusted people. ” Eldest Sun Wuji sighed, "Our eldest grandson Chong should have followed suit at the beginning, and the people he cultivated by himself must be more reliable."
In particular, these partners selected by Zhang Chao for his son are not the children of Xun Qi like those guards in the palace, on the contrary, these partners are all selected from nurseries, orphanages and other places, or the orphans of soldiers.
Once they were chosen, they became members of the Zhang family. became the brother of his son. ” Now that the eldest grandson family has gone to Xinliuqiu, the conditions will be more difficult, and there will be fewer people who can use it.
The eldest grandson Wuji planned to follow Zhang Chao's example in the future, they went to buy some slaves and children, and in order to ensure loyalty and trustworthiness, they were castrated and then trained.
Build an army of eunuchs who are completely loyal to the eldest grandson's family.
The eunuchs will not have families and will not have offspring, so there is no need to worry about the small population of the eldest grandson family being usurped by these mercenaries overseas.
This is a development method obtained by the eldest grandson Wuji after learning from the pain and thinking hard during this time.
Far away from the Central Plains, the future of the eldest grandson's family will be a hundred times more difficult.
When the Zhang family got Liuqiu, it was indeed a desert island.
But the Zhang family not only has the money to develop Liuqiu, but the most important thing is that they can continue to immigrate to the past in the early stage, and they rely on the Central Plains without worrying about being drowned by the Shanyi people.
But they are different, there are only 20,000 people, and even if they buy slaves in the future, they will not be of the same Chinese race.
Forming a slave mercenary army, and even training a more elite eunuch slave guard, became the last thing that Changsun Wuji thought of.
When they arrived on the island of Liuqiu, they could only practice slavery and build slave mercenaries, but conquer the natives and open up territory.
Slaves were used to open up and farm land, slaves were caught and sold by slaves, and then they traded with Han merchants in Djibouti and Xindu Port in exchange for what they needed.
In this regard, the eldest grandson also wants to thank Zhang Chao for letting them go to Africa.
If Zhang Chao exiled them to the Americas or Australia, it would be rare to encounter the merchant ships of the merchant once a year.
Without all kinds of materials in the Central Plains, they would have to start from scratch by themselves, which would be much more difficult.
"Dad, do you think Zhang Chao will really let us leave like this" Changsun Chong asked again.
No matter how you look at it, this feels a bit like a tiger returning to the mountains.
"Zhang Chao has a good name, for his name, and for his overall stability, it is impossible for him to do it to us at this time.
Otherwise, why bother to engage in parliamentary voting and so on, and attack us directly, and it will be a hundred. ” For his son's concern, the eldest grandson Wuji is not afraid.
Zhang Chao wouldn't do it, and he wouldn't dare to do it.
He could, but he didn't and wouldn't.
The captain was shouting for the anchor, and the sailors began to twist the ropes to lift the anchor.
Other sailors began to lower their sails.
Farewell, Hankow, farewell, Central Plains.
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed.
The fleet started slowly, and countless people on the shore watched this scene, including ordinary people and reporters from several major newspapers.
Eldest Sun Wuji believes that among those people, there must be a lot of Zhang Chao's ears watching.

Several warships also lowered their anchors and lowered their sails, and followed behind to leave Hankow.
These are the ones who escort them away. t1706231537:
