"If the establishment of an army is not based on etiquette and justice, even if it can succeed for a while, it will never be successful for a long time. Liu Biao ignores the danger of the country and only cares about his personal interests. He hastily raised an army in Jingnan. Sooner or later, he will fail." Liu Jing shook his head and said with a smile, "
But having said that, without this great flood, the Northern Army would not have been defeated so quickly."
Shan Rixi said: "'Those who are helped by Heaven are obedient; those who are helped by humans are trustworthy. If you act faithfully and think of obedience, since God is blessing you, everything will be good and good." This great flood, like a punishment from Heaven, will
The Northern Army was wiped out in one fell swoop. Doesn’t this prove that Mr. Liu is a person blessed by God?”
Liu Jing felt quite amused when he saw Shan Rixi citing scriptures in front of him. Among the generals under his command, even those with Shan Rixi's level of education probably couldn't do it with one hand.
"Now that the Northern Army is gone and Linxiang has been recovered, it is only a matter of time to completely drive the remnants of the Northern Army out of Changsha." Liu Jing said with emotion: "Everything south of the Yangtze River is in my pocket, and I can finally use my strength a little bit.
Already."
Dan Rixi said: "Liu Jun has great ambitions. In the past, he was too weak to expand his ambitions. Now that he has taken over Jingnan, he will be able to spread his ambitions."
Liu Jing nodded slightly and asked, "Uncle Weng, what are your plans for the future?"
Shan Rixi naturally knew the meaning of Liu Jing's words. In the past, the situation in Jingnan was unclear and Liu Jing's power was relatively weak. Even if Shan Rixi wanted to lead the Hengshan tribe back, Liu Jing was unable to accept it. Therefore, Shan Rixi has always been
Rixi is considered a relatively independent force.
It's different now. Liu Jing's control of Jingnan is almost a foregone conclusion. His power spans several counties, the area is thousands of miles away, and his household registration is millions. There is no doubt that he is already a vassal.
As for Shan Rixi, it can be seen from his change of name that he is an ambitious person. It is not his wish to become the king and hegemon in Hengshan Mountain. He imitates Jin Rixi and establishes himself as a barbarian.
Gong is his ideal.
Liu Jing was his Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so Shan Rixi replied without hesitation: "My life was saved by Liu Jun. My achievements today are all thanks to Liu Jun. Like Liu
If you don’t give up, I am willing to lead tens of thousands of Hengshan tribesmen under Liu Jun’s command, charge into battle for Liu Jun, and fight against his dissatisfaction.”
"Haha..." Liu Jing laughed and said, "This is exactly what I want."
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of the counties south of the Yangtze River has been called "explosive" growth compared to the Western Han Dynasty. The population of the small ones has doubled or tripled, and the large population has increased by more than seven or eight times. On the one hand, it is the natural reproduction of the Han people.
, on the other hand, is related to the policy of "encircling barbarians outside Huizhou" implemented by this dynasty.
Without mentioning the distant past, let’s take the past few decades as an example:
During Emperor Shun's time, Li Jin, the prefect of Wuling County in Jingnan, submitted a letter, believing that the barbarians had submitted to the Han Dynasty for a long time and should be compared with the Han people, so their taxes and taxes should be increased. The emperor and officials in the court all thought it was feasible, but only Yu Xu thought it was rash to increase taxes.
The emperor did not listen to Yu Xu's advice, and the barbarians in Lingnan actually killed officials and rebelled, and the chaos lasted for several years.
During the reign of Emperor Huan, the head of Xuancheng County, Danyang County, Yangzhou, resisted Xu and moved a large number of people who were "sounding birds" in the distant forests to the vicinity of the county town, and organized them into households. Later, when he served as the prefect of Changsha, he also attracted a large number of Jingman people.
Enclosed.
During the period of Emperor Ling, Gu Yong, the governor of Yulin County in Jiaozhou, recruited hundreds of thousands of Wuhu barbarians with kindness and trust, and established seven counties in the western part of Yulin County to resettle them.
The population of Changsha and Lingling counties once exceeded one million during the reign of Emperor Shun. However, Han residents in Lingling County only accounted for less than 40% of the total. Changsha County had slightly more people, but only more than half.
Sixty years passed in a hurry, and the Han Empire continued to decline until it completely lost control of the counties south of the Yangtze River. Most of the Jingman tribes that once belonged to Changsha and Lingling counties have dispersed, and now there are no more than tens of thousands of people registered there.
In troubled times, population is the most precious thing. The more people there are, the more taxes can be collected and the more troops can be recruited.
When the Han population cannot increase significantly in a short period of time, attracting barbarians to join them is a good choice for the rulers.
Although the taxes contributed by the barbarians were far less than those of the Han people, they were quality soldiers.
Among the Three Kingdoms, the cavalry troops of the Wei State used a large number of Wuhuan and Huns. The Shu Army also had tens of thousands of Nanzhong Yi people and Qingqiang. Not to mention the Wu State, Shanyue was its main source of troops.
none of them.
Liu Jing had long planned to use Shan Rixi to recruit Jingman in Hengshan. At that time, he fully funded Shan Rixi's revenge regardless of the cost. For this reason, years of planning finally paid off today.
Liu Jing valued Shan Rixi very much in his heart, which had nothing to do with the deep personal relationship between the two. The latter admired China, was deeply Chinese, and had a strong desire to make progress. In the future, Liu Jing intended to let him lead the "shuman" to conquer the valley.
In between, he was a "savage" who refused to obey.
Liu Jing asked someone to get a map of Jingnan's topography and cities, lay it out on the desk, draw a large circle to the west of Changsha with his finger, and said to Danri: "This is the west of Changsha County, ranging from Yiyang to the north and Zhaoling to the south.
, starting from Linxiang in the east and ending at Chenyang (Wuling County) in the west, covering hundreds of miles of land with numerous valleys and rivers. The barbarians are wild and ferocious and have never been connected with China. I am going to make you the captain of the western part of Changsha.
Govern this place."
Shan Rixi frowned unconsciously. The captain of the western part of Changsha was a military attaché with two thousand stones. He was a Jingman and could hold this position. It was not difficult to see that Liu Jing had great trust in him. But the problem was that in the southern part of Changsha,
It can be said that it is a poor mountain and a bad river, not much better than Hengshan. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu Jing say again: "Of course, it is not easy to manage this place. The strategy should not be too radical. It must be done steadily."
Liu Jing pointed to a city to the west of Linxiang and on the north bank of the Wei River, a tributary of the Xiang River, and introduced: "This place is Ningxiang under the rule of Linxiang. It is only a hundred miles away from Linxiang. In the past, there were more than 2,000 households, almost
It is equivalent to a county. You and your tribe will be temporarily stationed here."
Shan Rixi felt relieved when he heard that the station was only a hundred miles away from Linxiang, where Liu Jing was located. He was really afraid that Liu Jing would send him to the wilderness.
"Mr. Liu has thought so carefully, what else do I have to worry about? When I go back today, I will gather the people from all the villages to prepare for the migration."
Liu Jing nodded and said: "If you are ready, just send someone to come to Hunan to inform me, and I will send a ship to pick you up."
Danri nodded in agreement.
Liu Jing stayed in Hengshan Township for one night and set off again early the next morning.
At the same time, Zhang Jin, the pastor of Jiaozhou, led his troops from Jiaozhi in early July. After more than a month of arduous trek, they finally entered the boundary of Lingling County in Jingzhou.
