Chapter 906: The Yellow Turbans in the World Are One Family
"Since those two families are willing to send permanent envoys, let's make good arrangements!"
When Taishi Ci rushed to the chieftain's residence to report on his work and told him that the Liu Bei Group and Bingzhou Langqi had sent permanent envoys, Lei Hu gave the order in an understatement without taking it seriously.
It's not a pretense, it's just that he really didn't take the permanent envoys sent by the two families to heart.
The Liu Bei Group and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry are just peripheral barriers that he likes, and it doesn't really matter to him how much of a barrier they can play.
To be honest, apart from a few peerless generals and top counselors who were able to gain the eyes of Lei Hu, the rest of these two families had no sense of existence at all.
Compared with the help that the Yellow Turbans can give them, the benefits that these two families can give to the Yellow Turbans are very average. If they are of no use, they will naturally have no importance. This is how realistic it is.
Besides, the current Yellow Turban Leader is too far ahead of its time. Even if the two most powerful generals join forces, it will be difficult to cause devastating damage to the Yellow Turban Leader. There is no need to take it too seriously.
Of course, normal etiquette still needs to be done, and he doesn't want to be treated as a gangster.
"Big leader, our strength is already so powerful, do you want to take the opportunity to occupy the entire Qingzhou?"
Taishi Ci suggested with some excitement: "When I came back, I saw that the development of our Yellow Turban collar has reached a higher level. I thought that even Liu Bei and Lu Bu occupied such a large territory, we can't fall too far behind!"
After all, they are all natives of the Han Dynasty, and they have a soft spot for expanding their sphere of influence and occupying territory. Besides, even Liu Bei and Lu Bu have risen up, so why are the more powerful Yellow Turbans still lingering in the two counties?
"Yes, Chief, I also think that we should expand. Not to mention occupying the entire Qingzhou at once, we must have at least four counties!"
"Only four counties are too few. According to someone's idea, there should be at least five counties!"
"..."
Obviously, Tai Shici's proposal was very attractive to the senior officials of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. It was not necessary for Lei Hu to say anything. They themselves were excited all the way, and they were obviously very enthusiastic about expanding their territory.
"Since you all have this idea, let's expand it!"
Lei Hu followed the trend and said with a smile: "But let's talk about it first, let's expand the territory first and see!"
Seeing that some of his subordinates wanted to refute, he waved his hands and said angrily: "According to our development model, if we expand two counties at once, will there be that many people?"
Without waiting for his subordinates to think clearly, he continued to ask: "Also, whether it is repairing the official road, laying tracks, or spreading the talisman array, have you thought about the manpower and material resources required?"
Those words left the senior officials of Qingzhou Yellow Turban speechless.
In the moment of excitement, I forgot that the big leader Lei Hu's consistent behavior was that since he wanted to expand, he would completely control the expanded territory and develop like the Yellow Turban Leader at this time.
Thinking of the current development status of the Yellow Turban collar, all the Yellow Turban executives present felt dissatisfied and proud, but it was a big headache to think that the newly expanded site must be developed and constructed according to the Yellow Turban collar model.
Indeed, as the big leader said, it is very easy to expand. Not to mention taking over the entire Qingzhou, it is not a problem to directly enter Jizhou and tear off a piece of territory.
But the problem is that the leader of Thunder Tiger has too strict requirements for the territory. Not only must it be completely controlled, but it must also be developed and constructed according to the current model of the Yellow Turban Leader, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
If there is not enough population support, no matter how large the territory is, it will not be able to develop and build according to the current model of the Yellow Turban Leader. If the control is not good, it will be reduced to a dangerous level.
In other words, although the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have unparalleled intimidation power, the situation in Qingzhou has been completely stabilized since they changed from the past rogue bandit style to a passive bandit.
Let alone peace, at least no major war has broken out for several years.
Of course, what the Qingzhou Yellow Turban can only do is isolate the external princes. Due to the military strength and the number of soldiers, the area that can be directly controlled is limited after all. Bandits and bandits are inevitable in the rest of Qingzhou.
Fortunately, these guys are not fools. They naturally know who in Qingzhou keeps their word. They are restrained when they wreak havoc on the surrounding areas and plunder the countryside. There are not many people who are stupid and kill indiscriminately. At least they still abide by certain rules.
As for the unruly ones, if they are targeted by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and the field army scouts are training, they will simply rush away and eliminate them completely.
After going back and forth, some forces and energy in Qingzhou basically understand what rules they should act in, otherwise they may attract the thunderous attack of Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
Not to mention ordinary bandits and bandits, this is also true for the territory under Tian Kai's jurisdiction.
Tian Kai's ability in military strategy and civil affairs can only be said to be average, but as a person from a wealthy Youzhou family, his ability in human relations and worldliness is quite good. Otherwise, he would not be recognized by Youzhou Gongsunzan and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban leader. Until now
Still holding the title of Qingzhou Governor, he lived a very comfortable life.
The behavior of him and his subordinates has also begun to follow the rules set by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. He looks honest and law-abiding and does not violate the rules. At least it can attract the favor of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban gang with straightforward personalities and the higher-ups, thereby obtaining more and better food and grass.
Support of supplies and ordnance.
Of course, these are just small details. At present, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban senior leaders want to expand their territory. External factors can be ignored. It mainly depends on internal development and talent reserves. Whether they can support the development and construction of the newly occupied territories according to the Yellow Turban collar's model at this time.
This is no joke, just the repair of the official roads, the reconstruction of the city in the core area, and the laying of the tracks are a huge project.
Regardless of the rapid development of road traffic in the Yellow Turban Territory, the Yellow Turban high-level officials mobilized the entire population of the territory to participate in the construction. Even the nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban warriors became coolies. Whenever it was time to overcome difficulties, whether it was dredging rivers or digging mountains.
, or dangerous and heavy hard work such as opening a tunnel, the yellow scarf warriors must use their full strength to charge forward.
There are hundreds of thousands of Taiping Taoists who use magic and spells to help improve work efficiency. Coupled with the continuous emergence of various spell and spell production tools, the Yellow Turbans now have a complete transportation and rail system.
To put it bluntly, we still have to rely on huge manpower support.
But Qingzhou had suffered so much disaster before that the peace in just a few years could not be restored to the state before the collapse of the Han Empire.
In short, except for the Yellow Turban collar, the rest of Qingzhou has no population to speak of.
That is to say, the area controlled by Tian Kai has a relatively sufficient population, with nearly one billion people supporting him and his subordinates to withstand the pressure from Jizhou. Once the population is lost, it will not be able to sustain it.
As for the people scattered across Qingzhou, which is tens of millions of miles away, the number must exceed one billion, and may even reach five billion.
Unfortunately, such a large population is scattered across Qingzhou, which is thousands of miles away. It is very difficult to gather them together. The neighboring counties and counties simply cannot provide enough population to support development.
The land of one county is barely enough. If the land of two counties is increased in one go, the entire Yellow Turban collar will have to start a large-scale construction mode, which will have a great impact on its own production and life, and it may be criticized.
Well, population, insufficient population is the main contradiction limiting the rapid expansion of the Yellow Turban collar.
Taishi Ci and Wu Anguo were unable to do anything about this. All they could think of was to recruit people from the prefectures and counties around Qingzhou. However, looking at the surrounding powerful princes, they simply could not tolerate the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans reaching out randomly.
Youzhou Gongsunzan Needless to say, Youzhou is a big border state. It has a sparse population and has to guard against grassland aliens. How can there be any excess population for Qingzhou to transfer?
Jizhou is rich in population, but it is a pity that Yuan Shao is in the period of explosive growth at this time. Not to mention the virtuous ministers, it is not as chaotic as when the four sides competed for inheritance rights later.
Hebei Sitingzhu, Jizhou's top general Ju Yi, and a group of top and first-rate counselors are not easy to deal with. When there are no internal problems, Jizhou's power can be regarded as the most powerful among all the heroes in the late Han Dynasty.
How can a being who hopes to unify the universe allow the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to stretch out its hands at will?
Lao Cao was not easy to deal with either. Although Lao Cao was still licking his wounds at this time, it was not a place where the Qingzhou Yellow Turban could act haphazardly.
As for Liu Bei in Xuzhou, he is an ally. In addition, the aristocratic families there are so powerful that the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have no time to avoid them. How can they rush forward and ask for trouble?
After thinking about it, the first and second-ranked generals of Qingzhou Yellow Turban had no choice.
Guan Hai, on the other hand, came up with a very constructive idea.
"Big Chief, our Qingzhou population is insufficient, which does not mean that there are no ordinary people in other places who cannot survive. I estimate that the number is definitely quite large!"
Guan Hai had also been a great leader, and when he spoke at this time, he was quite creative: "If we can really find a way to do it, at least a population of tens of billions will not be a problem at all!"
"What, what do you think?"
Lei Hu asked curiously: "If we need to send troops to rob it, then forget it!"
"How can it be?"
Guan Hai burst into laughter, waved his hands and said: "The big leader has ignored this group of people. The Yellow Turbans in the world are one family. The Yellow Turbans in other places are not as good as our Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. If we can recruit them and the people under their jurisdiction,
, our population headache will be solved soon!"
"Oh, do you still have contact with the Yellow Turban generals from other places?"
Lei Hu's eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "Tell me, how many yellow scarf troops can you pull in?"
To be honest, he really didn't pay attention to the other Yellow Turbans. He just ignored them intentionally.
Only Guan Hai, a guy with a pure Yellow Turban background, can explain why the Yellow Turbans are one family. Lei Hu doesn't believe this, and obviously the other senior officials of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans don't believe it either.
The reason is simple. There are indeed several well-known Yellow Turban forces in the world, which can even affect the stability of a state or even several states. However, their behavior is too unsightly and their reputation has become notorious on the streets.
