Chapter five hundred and ninetieth national scholar
The rebellion started by the Cuan family and the Yong family in Nanzhong was not ambitious and was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
After receiving the news that everything in Nanzhong was as usual, the powerful people were overjoyed.
Their interpretation ability is very powerful. If they count the household registrations of Han people and fail to count the Yi people, they are supporting and encouraging them in disguise to enslave the Yi people.
The powerful men are very familiar with this job.
In fact, the Han people in Nanzhong took the initiative to unite with the powerful and jointly resist the barbarians.
Therefore, the powerful did not dare to oppress the Han people too much, as everyone's interests were the same.
Nanzhong has a vast territory and is sparsely populated. Land is everywhere. If you need people, just go and catch them.
"The King of Qin is a great lord!" the powerful men praised him.
Huo Yi looked at them with strange eyes. At first, this group of people were all ready to stand on their own in Nanzhong, and some people secretly cursed "violent Qin", but now they all have different faces.
However, Huo Yi was in a better mood. In King Qin's private letter, there was a desire to marry the two families.
Huo Biao took the eldest daughter of the King of Qin, and the Huo family suddenly became a popular family in Qin.
Nanzhong will also be more stable as a result.
"The King of Qin treated Yi as a scholar, how could Yi not repay him as a scholar?" Huo Yi stood up.
The powerful men looked at Huo Yi with great interest, waiting for his orders.
"Wu Gou raised 30,000 people to get a glimpse of the chaos in the south. This is an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. The Qin Dynasty attaches great importance to military merit. Don't you have any intention?" Huo Yi said with a smile.
The heroes are like a vicious dog seeing a bone or a wild wolf seeing a rabbit, "I am willing to follow the general to get it!"
Soochow was hiding in Jiaozhou, and Huo Yi really had nothing to do with them, but if they came to their doorstep, he couldn't be blamed.
What is even more beneficial is that Sun Chen, the governor of Jiaozhi, was greedy and cruel, and the people suffered greatly.
When Deng Xun of Wu State arrived at Jianye, he arbitrarily recruited 3,000 peacocks and sent them back to Jianye.
The people in Jiaozhi were overwhelmed and fled one after another.
Lu Xing, an official in Jiaozhi County, contacted Nanzhong many times and wanted to surrender the county to Qin, and asked Huo Yi to send troops.
At that time, Nanzhong was in chaos, and the Wu army was pressing down on the border. Huo Yi did not reply.
Now that the Nanzhong rebellion has been put down, it is time to deal with the Wu army blocking the door.
Du Yu in Sichuan also sent a letter, saying that everything is ready for the land equalization system, just waiting for Huo Yi's good news to cut off the extravagant hopes of the powerful in Sichuan!
The powerful men worked extremely hard, and within a few days, they had assembled an army of 20,000. With the addition of Huo Yi's 10,000 elite troops, the army was no longer inferior.
The Wu army was blocked in Xinggu County, unable to advance even an inch, and gradually relaxed its vigilance.
Liu Jun, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Xiu Ze were not generals, and Sun Chen in the rear was even more cruel and cruel, often withholding food and grass. The Wu army was disloyal and had low morale.
There was great chaos in Nanzhong, and the Wu army became even more cautious, thinking that it was only a matter of time before they captured Nanzhong.
Huo Yi quickly put down the rebellion, but Wu Jun didn't even receive any news.
It was not until the Nanzhong army came down the Red River on rafts that the Wu army panicked.
Liu Jun ordered the front department supervisor to lead 10,000 elite troops to fight.
Huo Yi ordered Xiao General Yang Ji to lead five thousand elites as the vanguard. The two armies fought. The Qin army went down the river, while the Wu army went upstream. People's hearts were scattered. When they saw the morale of the Qin army, they were afraid of it before fighting, and collapsed at the first touch.
The Wu army formed a large formation at the rear and would be in chaos if they did not fight.
The brave generals Mao Jiong, Meng Yue, Wang Cheng, and Dong Yuan took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the Wu army. The Wu army was defeated and retreated into Yulin County.
The Qin army entered Jiaozhou along the river.
The local people gathered in response, drove away the Wu officials, took the initiative to send food and grass, and served as guides for the Qin army.
The officials of Jiaozhi County killed the prefect Sun Chen and presented Jiaozhi to the Qin army. Jiaozhi County was then owned by the Qin Dynasty.
Liu Jun, the governor of Jiaozhou, gathered an army of 50,000 from the four counties of Yulin, Hepu, Jiuzhen, and Rinan to attack Jiaozhi in an attempt to regain the lost territory.
Huo Yi divided his troops into Yang Ji to fight against Liu Jun, Xiu Ze, and defended his position. The Qin army marched forward bravely, and everyone was strong and brave. They fought three battles and achieved three victories. They defeated the Wu army, beheading 3,000 soldiers and taking 7,000 prisoners.
The Qin army marched straight into Hepu County, where they defeated the Wu army with the ancient city. Liu Jun, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Xiu Ze, the general, were all killed by Yang Ji in the battle formation. Eleven of the Wu army generals died in the battle formation!
After that, Yang Ji turned his spearhead and instead of attacking Hepu, which was heavily populated with troops, he turned north and easily captured Yulin County, which was empty of troops.
The power of the Qin army spread to the south, and the names of Huo Yi, Yang Ji, Mao Jiong, and Dong Yuan shocked Lingnan.
Rinan and Jiuzhen counties surrendered without a fight.
There are seven counties in Jiaozhou, four counties enter the Qin Dynasty, and are connected with Nanzhong by the Red River.
Huo Yi then reported the victory to Chengdu and went to Chang'an to report the military exploits of fourteen generals including Yang Ji, Mao Jiong, and Dong Yuan, as well as the great support of the powerful people in Shu.
He also requested the establishment of the Zhenfu Department, the Xuanyi Department, and the Soothing Department, and asked Chang'an to send Nanzhong and pay state officials.
Afterwards, Huo Yi ordered Yangji Town to go to Jiaozhi, Dong Yuan Town to Yulin, Mao Jiong Town to Rinan, and Mengyue Town to Jiuzhen, and led his army back to Nanzhong.
All the difficulties in the south of Sichuan have been lifted.
The news soon spread to Chengdu.
The powerful people in Shu had been keeping an eye on Nanzhong and the Wu army, hoping that Nanzhong would rebel and take the lead, hoping that the Wu army would rescue them, but the miracle did not come.
Not only did the powerful people in South and Central China not cooperate, they also helped Qin expand its territory and defeat the Wu army.
The powerful men were discouraged.
There is no longer any obstacle to the implementation of the equalization system.
The imprisoned people have long been ready to move, and the land in Sichuan is boiling.
Many mature Qiang people on the plateau were also attracted and moved eastward one after another to join the process of equalizing land.
Du Yu moved the people to Hanzhong and Guanzhong according to Yang Zheng's order.
If you stay in Shuzhong, you can only be allocated fifty acres of land, but if you move to Guanzhong, you can be allocated one hundred acres. All taxes will be exempted in the first year, and the government will be responsible for the seeds and farm tools.
If the tycoons are willing to move to Yunnan, Xinggu, Jiaozhou and other places, just like the tycoons in South China, they can continue to maintain their Wubao and private armies, and they can also capture the natives as slaves.
There is no shortage of people pursuing benefits.
Immediately, large migrating armies appeared in two directions in Shu.
One side faces north and enters Hanzhong, then passes through the Qinling Mountains and enters Guanzhong.
The Qin government was efficient and direct. The Xuanyi Department, the Zhenfu Department, and the Shangshutai all operated around the northward migration event. The local government also attached great importance to the migration of people in Shu, and it was included in the performance evaluation.
Therefore, all the officials of Qin State went all out.
Stations were set up along the way to provide porridge, water, and even doctors were prepared.
For those who can travel by water, there are boats on the river ready.
The road is smooth and there are bullock carts waiting.
On the other side, heading south, the powerful people were obsessed with enclosing land and robbing people. They could no longer play in Sichuan, so they simply divided a part of it and went south, changing places to enclose land and robbing people.
In Nanzhong, the sky is high in Jiaozhou, far away from the emperor, and the products are abundant. You can still be a local emperor behind closed doors.
In fact, the population of Shuzhong far exceeds Du Yu's estimate of 2.4 million.
When the population was counted, the powerful people deliberately blocked it, and the people also hid, so we can only make a rough estimate.
Now the fields are divided among them, and each of them seems to have emerged from the soil.
There are many mountains in the middle of Sichuan, and people from the Tibetan, Han, Ba, Qiang and Di tribes have come down from the mountains one after another.
Fortunately, there was a huge bureaucracy in Shu, with 40,000 officials, so it was not paralyzed.
Since there was not enough paper, the people were asked to bring their own wooden signs.
Many people did not have names, but were given names on the spot.
Every name written down is a share of Qin's national strength.
The registered population soon exceeded 2.4 million, but the registered population in various places is still rising.
Du Yu looked at the crowd heading north like a long dragon and said with a smile: "The rise of the Qin Dynasty will begin from here!"
