Traveling more than sixty miles southwest from Zhongnuo Village, in front of you is a mountain range that runs east to west, called Xiuyun Mountain. Like a high wall that stretches for hundreds of miles, it separates the Dushan tribe from Zhuzhen.
Standing on the top of the main peak of Xiuyun Mountain and looking out at Zhuzhen, you will feel like there are endless mountains and rivers, and there are mountains and mountains one after another. There is no end to the mountains.
Looking back to the north of Xiuyun Mountain, the villages and cultivated fields in the Dushan Mountains, which are sandwiched between mountain basins, have a more human atmosphere, while the vast dense forests in the south of the mountain always make people feel dark and scary.
There are more than 20,000 people in the Dushan tribe, divided into more than ten villages, scattered in the mountain valleys north of Xiuyun Mountain. After half a month of investigation, it was found that the occupied land is far larger than previously expected, because the land kept moving to the northwest and southeast
By developing in two directions, the tribal homeland that was opened up was more than 50% larger than that of Yongguo, it was more than twice as big!
The map has been mapped out and the situation of each department has been made clear.
From Yongguo to the south and east is the Lianshan Department, and to the southwest is the Cangwu Department. The two departments are divided by Mangdang Mountain running from northwest to southeast, and Wu Sheng's fiefdom is here.
To the southeast of the Cangwu Department is the Nuoxi Department, bounded by the north-south Nuo River, to the southwest is the Dushan Department, and to the southwest of the Nuoxi Department is the Dushan Department.
Dushan and the two tribes are separated by high Nuo mountains. The terrain here in Zhongnuo Village slows down and forms the Nuo River Beach. No wonder Ah Manggu chose to attack from the direction of Zhongnuo Village and cut the Nuo River section in half.
Therefore, the previously built road was a road that first went 200 miles southeast, then 160 miles southwest, and then 40 miles southeast to reach Zhongnuo Village, with a total length of 400 miles.
The straight-line distance from Jiaxi Wooden Bridge as the starting point to Zhongnuo Village is actually only three hundred miles.
Of course, it does not mean that the road has been detoured further, or that more roads have been built. Road construction must be based on the topography. Of course, a straight line is the shortest, but it is ten times more difficult to open up the mountains in the middle, fill in the ravines, and build a bridge. What's more, it is much more difficult to build a bridge.
This is the purpose of building roads to connect various villages. Otherwise, what is the point of building a road that no one takes?
But the problem we are facing now is whether the next road should continue to connect with Xia Nuo Village, then go around Nuo Gao Mountain from Xia Nuo Village, and enter the Dushan Department from the southern end of Nuo Gao Mountain Remaining Range, or should we go directly west from Zhong Nuo Village and build a wooden
After the bridge, cross the Nuo River and directly enter the Dushan tribe? The latter is more than fifty miles farther than the former, but it will miss the Xianuo village with more than a thousand people.
Behind Wu Sheng, Gong Yin Zhuowuzi was arguing fiercely with A Nuo and Master Dongsun over the construction of the route, while everyone else was watching the excitement.
There was also a quarrel on the other side, where Yuan Sima, Dao Nanshe, and Huang Feilong were arguing over the distribution of the spoils.
They have been arguing for seven consecutive days. Wu Sheng has not expressed his opinion so far, waiting for them to continue arguing. The process of arguing is a process of clarifying each other's bottom line, a process of increasing understanding, and a process of seeking common ground while reserving differences. Facts have proved that the goals of both parties have been surpassed.
It's becoming more and more the same, and it should be over today.
As the leader of the Southern Expedition, Wu Sheng's own interests were always guaranteed by both parties, even more than he wanted. In terms of distribution rights, Wu Sheng's Mangdang Mountain was counted as a separate party among the distributors.
The three tribes took this as a matter of course, while Yuan Sima acquiesced in this method in order to get more for Yongguo.
At a certain moment, the quarrel suddenly weakened and gradually disappeared. Everyone came to Wu Sheng and presented the results agreed by both parties, allowing Wu Sheng to make the final decision.
First is the land.
The land of Dushan tribe is very large, twice as big as that of Yongguo, equivalent to the sum of Lianshan tribe, Cangwu tribe and Nuoxi tribe. This land is divided into half according to Yongguo and Mangdang Mountain, and half is divided among the other three parts.
Principle distribution.
But Yuan Sima didn't like the concept of enclaves, and the three tribes didn't like it either, so land replacement was necessary. At the junction of Yongguo, Cangwu and Lianshan tribes, Cangwu tribe in the southwest retreated fifty miles, and Lianshan tribe in the southeast
The troops retreated thirty miles and defined the boundary according to the mountains.
After acquiring this land, Yongguo formed a territory in the shape of "pin". The two "mouths" on the left and right below the word "pin" combined were almost as large as the territory of the "mouth" above. The west side embraced Kui Kingdom from below.
The east side embraced the Fish Kingdom and the Stag Kingdom from below, doubling its territory.
Mangdang Mountain expanded in all directions from fifteen to twenty miles according to the force of the mountains and rivers, acquiring a large amount of flat land that could be cultivated into fertile farmland. The arable land increased by almost 1.7 million acres. Including the arable land in the mountains, the total reached three
One million acres, if managed well, can support 100,000 people!
The Lianshan tribe and the Cangwu tribe needed to move south to several small villages, but for the two tribes, tribal migration was a common occurrence, and it was nothing compared with the harvest. The Cangwu tribe directly divided up half of the land in the north of the Dushan tribe.
The Lianshan tribe acquired the entire Nuoxi tribe.
As compensation, the Nuoxi tribe moved to the Dushan tribe, occupying half of the land south of the Dushan tribe, and the territory expanded three times. Because of this, Anuo gave up the dispute with Zhuowuzi, and all the tribes moved, so why bother?
Going to Nuo Village?
Territory demarcation is population.
There were more than 25,000 people in the Dushan tribe, and each of the five parties took away 5,000. Of course, all the villages were disrupted and the original tribal blood relations were not allowed to be retained.
According to the division method of several village leaders, the parties would even split up every family, which would inevitably cause a large number of wives and children to be separated. This was the tribe's way of allocating prisoners, but Wu Sheng would never be able to make this determination, and others could not do it.
No matter what, but on his own side, he insisted on collecting people on a per-household basis.
"Whether it's three, four, five, or six, it doesn't matter. In short, give me a thousand households. It doesn't matter if there are fewer people or more!" Wu Sheng emphasized: "As for your own part, I hope you can let them
Family reunion...especially the elderly and children. If you don't want to keep them, you can send them to Mangdang Mountain. If you think it's troublesome to send them, I can settle the settlement with you at five ants noses per person."
After the population is divided, the private property of Ah Manggu, Snake Lao and the owners of each village will be distributed according to proportion. Yongguo will get 20%, Wu Sheng will get 30%, and the remaining three parts will be distributed.
After this battle, Wu Sheng became the most powerful official in the Yong Kingdom. He far surpassed others in terms of land, people and property.
Next is the partial composition of the Yong Dynasty that Yuan Sima is most concerned about. According to the edict issued by the monarch on that day, half of the distribution rights of population and property, and half of the right to recommend the distribution of land were given to Wu Sheng. Naturally, Wu Sheng had the final say. Of course.
, the base of the distribution does not include Mangdangshan’s share, and Wu Sheng will no longer collect any seizures from Yongguo’s share.
"In terms of military exploits and the amount of effort, Dr. Zhuo and my Yuan family are definitely the first, each with 25%. Dr. Lu sits at the rear and gets 10%. The rest of the officers will be divided according to the number of scholars. What does Dr. Shen think?
"
"Can!"
With one word, Yuan Sima and Zhuo Wuzi each gained 700 people, 150,000 acres of fiefdom, and a large amount of wealth, becoming the first among the Shangyong officials.
