Chapter 432 The snowflakes are floating (please vote for recommendation!!!)
A big fire in Fengmingtan is not even comparable to Huanghualin.
But the impact of this fire is far from comparable to that of the Huanghualin fire. For the people of Hongze, the disaster caused by the Qiang and Hu is even greater than that of Ma Teng. Although Ma Teng is domineering and arrogant, after all, he is mainly engaged in farming.
The living habits of the Qiang and Hu nomads, burning, killing and looting, have no sense at all, and there are no rules to be found.
Even when Xiutu and his men were stationed in the northwest Muyuan, the threat posed by the Qiang and Hu was still huge.
Now, 30,000 Qiang and Hu troops were defeated by Deng Fan in one fell swoop. Tang Ti fled in embarrassment, which made Ma Jiajun unable to move forward...
From Dou Lan and other tribal leaders to the herdsmen and slaves, everyone felt tremendous pressure.
The Han army is coming!
The imperial court is back!
The small tribes that were still resisting the integration of the Hongze tribe began to make moves.
When eight thousand families of immigrants arrived at Hongshui Camp, the adults of the small tribes were even more moved. A fire in Fengmingtan ignited their hopes. Instead of joining Hongze, why not join the imperial army?
?
After all, the Hongze people are also descendants of the Han people.
For several days, there was an endless stream of visitors to Hongshui Camp.
Several tribesmen from small tribes came to visit, and some even moved their entire clan away from their original residences and settled not far from the Hongshui Camp. Aren't you Dou Lan awesome? Aren't you going to annex us? Now
, we want to defect to the imperial court! If you have the ability, you come and annex us, and you send troops to the Hongshui camp...
For several months, the small tribe, which had been suppressed by the eighteen tribes of Hongze and was almost out of breath, finally made a choice.
Cao Peng did not receive them, but handed them over to Pang Lin and Jia Xing.
The reason...
Jia Xing is from Guzang and a member of Liangzhou. He can speak the Xiliang dialect fluently.
And Pang Lin? Who is Pang Lin, you ask?
Do you know who masterminded the Fengmingtan victory?
That was General Cao's mastermind, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, nicknamed Mr. Fengchu. Pang Lin was Fengchu's brother!
If people didn't know who Feng Chu was before, then now, Pang Tong's name is known to everyone. This man has uncanny calculations and unpredictable abilities. Is Tang Ti powerful? Wasn't he fooled by him all of a sudden?
Already?
Therefore, it is enough for Pang Lin to come forward!
Jia Xing is an official of the imperial court and is registered in Shangshu Mansion.
The other one is Feng Chu's younger brother. Both of them are well-educated people and know a lot about etiquette.
Especially Jia Xing, who understands the thoughts of the adults of the small tribes, and often asks questions in the Liangzhou dialect when entertaining, making those visitors feel particularly cordial. However, that doesn't stop there! Want to meet General Cao? I'm afraid it's not that easy...
General Cao was busy with official duties and had no time to leave.
If you have any requirements or requests, just tell us.
If it can be solved, I can solve it for you now; if it can't be solved, we will notify General Cao then and he will make the decision. In short, everyone who comes is a guest, and we will warmly welcome you. But if you want to see Cao Peng, you can
Not that easy.
Today is different from the past!
When Cao Peng first came to Hongze, everyone was hostile.
Even those small tribes dared not respect the Hongshui camp, so Shi Kui attacked the Han army.
Want to make friends now? It's too late...
Cao Peng is indeed busy, a little too busy.
Eight thousand families of immigrants arrived at Hongshui Camp, making the originally empty and spacious Hongshui Camp suddenly become crowded.
"I'm afraid it's not a good thing if everyone gathers here."
Meng Jian frowned, looked at the structural map of Hongshui County in his hand, and said to Cao Peng: "The reason why the general wants so many Han people is to balance the ratio of Hu and Han in Hexi. To be honest, if all these 8,000 Han households are included
Concentrating them in Hongshui County will inevitably create a closed circle... This will only make the conflict between Hu and Han more serious.
Generals should have a broad mind for the country and accommodate people from all sides.
It doesn’t matter if they are Huns, Qianghu or Xianbei people, why not let them live together and slowly integrate them?”
Cao Peng scratched his nose, "Then what should we do in view of public authority?"
"Now that the general has established a fortress, the people also need to move in.
However, after the Shiyuan fire burned the Qianghu, their foothold in the northwest pastoral plains has been stabilized, so they can consider bringing the northwest pastoral lands under their control. It is planned that 500 Han households can be moved to Lianbao, and 1,500 Han households can be moved to Fengmingtan.
In this way, the increase in the number of Han people will further consolidate the general's control in these two places, and then expand to Hongze."
"Gentlemen, what do you think?"
Xu Shu said: "What Gongwei said is absolutely true.
The people of Hongze have been based in Hongze for hundreds of years, but once something happens, they are left alone and helpless.
This was all the fault of the ancestors of Hongze. They occupied Hongze, but they organized themselves into a group independent of Hexi. In this way, they unknowingly separated themselves and
Qiang and Hu are fighting against each other. Today, the general is suppressing Fuxi, and the mistakes of our ancestors in Hongze should serve as a lesson for others, and we must not repeat the same mistakes again..."
Bu Zhi and others also nodded in agreement.
"Speaking of naturalization, to be honest, I thought that the Sun family and his son did an excellent job in Jiangdong.
After Sun Ce established his foothold in Jiangdong, he continued to attack Shanyue. In the eyes of ordinary people, Sun Ce's move was to strengthen his rule over the six counties in Jiangdong. But I think that Sun Ce actually wanted to naturalize Shanyue and completely control Jiangdong...
...Sun Quan is very different from Sun Ce. Sun Ce is strong, while Sun Quan is soft. But when it comes to dealing with Shanyue, the two brothers are exactly the same. Moreover, since the six counties of Jiangdong were owned by the Sun family, although the chaos in Shanyue has remained
It happens often, but its scale is getting smaller and smaller. This also shows that the Sun family's position in Jiangdong is becoming more and more stable. I think that when the son is in charge of Hexi, he can refer to the practices of the Sun brothers in Jiangdong."
Plunder, tame, naturalize...
This is the policy and strategy of the Sun brothers.
Historically, at the end of the Three Kingdoms period, there was a population survey.
Cao Wei has a population of 580,000 households, Jiangdong has a population of 520,000 households, while Shuhan has only 300,000...
Cao Wei occupied the north and had a huge population base; Shu Han had a population of more than four million in the early Three Kingdoms, which was equally impressive.
On the contrary, Jiangdong did not have a large population at the beginning.
But by the end of the Three Kingdoms, the population was almost the same as that of Cao Wei.
This is of course due to the dangerous terrain of Jiangdong and the natural moat of the Yangtze River. However, the Sun family's plunder of the Shanyue population in Jiangdong was also a huge factor. In the early Three Kingdoms period, the number of Shanyue people in Jiangdong was extremely large, and the entire Yangzhou was often disturbed by Shanyue.
But later on, at least under the rule of Yangzhou, the disasters caused by Shanyue became less and less.
Even if it happened occasionally, it was restricted to a very small scale. Most of the Shanyue people were naturalized by the Sun family, and the Shanyue people who were unwilling to naturalize moved southward and entered the Jiaozhou area. In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the people in Jiangnan
Disasters in Shanyue are very rare and are mainly concentrated in coastal areas. Among them, it can be said that the contribution of the Sun family...
Cao Peng remembered that he had seen a point of view on a forum in his previous life.
It is said that Zhuge Liang made a huge mistake in Xichuan, that is, he did not naturalize the Southern Barbarians at that time.
Zhuge Liang wanted to expedition to the north, seize Guanzhong, and restore the Han Dynasty.
However, although the population of the Shu Han was huge, it could not withstand successive wars. The Southern Barbarians had always been a major concern of the Shu Han at that time. Even though they later expressed their surrender, they did not give the Shu Han much support... If Zhuge Liang could learn from the Sun family's practices,
If we plunder the Southern Barbarians and tame them, maybe in the end, the population of Shu Han will not be so depleted. What is the purpose of fighting? In the Three Kingdoms era, fighting is to win the population...
Xu Shu and others believed deeply in what Bu Zhi said.
Cao Peng also agrees!
In the Hexi area, there are mixed voices, so we must be tolerant and accept people from all walks of life.
If the Han people were simply gathered together to build a city and live there, it would not be much different from the situation in Hongze before.
"There are five hundred households in Lianbao, I'm afraid there are a few."
Cao Peng thought for a while, then with a stroke of his pen, "800 households were moved to Lianbao, 1,500 households were moved to Fengmingtan, and Fengmingbao was built in Fengmingtan. However, Shi Yuan was not suitable to continue to stay.
There, how about asking Gongwei to serve as Chief Fengming?"
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he looked at Meng Jian.
Meng Jian, on the other hand, was startled. Then he couldn't bear the excitement in his heart. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Young Master values Meng Jian so much. Jian will die for you."
As the ancients said, a scholar will die for his close friends.
Meng Gongwei is a scholar!
At Pang Tong's invitation, he left Jingzhou and came to Xudu to join Cao Peng.
Very excited!
But unfortunately, Cao Peng was not in Xudu at that time, so Meng Jian felt quite aggrieved after arriving in Xudu.
Now when he met Cao Peng, Cao Peng handed over Fengming Beach to him.
Although Fengming Fort will only be the size of a lower county in the future, for now, it is undoubtedly the huge trust that Cao Peng has given to Meng Jian. In my heart, I have subconsciously told myself: The master values you so much, you must not let it down.
Cao Peng laughed!
Among the four friends of Shuijing Villa, to be honest, only Xu Shu was the one who really left an impression on Cao Peng.
What heights did Meng Gongwei, Cui Zhouping, and Shi Tao and Shi Guangyuan reach in history? Cao Peng is not sure. However, this is a person who can be confused with Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang.
, how can they be idle people? The reason why they did not leave such a big reputation may be that they are not military talents, but good at government affairs. After being reborn in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Peng saw too many outstanding people... They did not lead troops to fight, but
But he made extraordinary contributions. Therefore, it is not without reason that Cao Peng decided to let Meng Jian be the chief of Fengming.
So what if you have no experience?
Anyway, Fengming Castle is now in a state of poverty.
Let Meng Jian start from scratch and accumulate experience while building...
"However, it may not be that easy to expand into Hongze."
Cao Peng pondered for a moment and said softly: "Hongze has existed for hundreds of years after all. Even if it is facing disintegration now, we still need a name before we can go to war. Otherwise, if we expand to Hongze, it will be without a name."
He looked towards Xu Shu.
But he saw Xu Shu frowning and thinking silently.
Looking out the window through the small window of the tent...
Cao Peng was startled and looked outside following his gaze, only to see snowflakes falling outside at some unknown time.
It’s snowing! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at ***(***.***).***, your support is my biggest motivation.)
