The sudden demise of Minyue made Nanyue, Luoyue, and Xijiao nervous for a long time. The originally planned war was immediately stopped, and they became like friends, communicating with each other quickly and passing on the latest news from the Han people. No one
Thinking of it, the most powerful Minyue Kingdom in Lingnan was destroyed in this way, and the Minyue King was captured. This has never happened in the history of Yue.
Lu Jia, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, frowned, and his fair face turned blue: "Your Majesty, Minyue has been destroyed. This is the best opportunity for us in South Vietnam to unify all Vietnam. We must not miss it."
Zhao Hu asked: "What does the Prime Minister mean by this? Min Yue has been destroyed, and the next target of the Han people must be us. Self-protection is not enough, how can we unify the Yue?"
Zhao Wendao said: "What the king said is true. The Han people are fierce. Minyue will be destroyed in a matter of seconds. If they send troops, we don't have enough soldiers and horses. How can we fight on both sides? I think we should guard the border and guard against the Han people."
Well, we should send an envoy to Chang'an to declare our vassalage to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Maybe we, the people of South Vietnam, can avoid the suffering of swordsmanship. I hope your Majesty will think twice."
"Hmph! The Han people are not stupid. They just defeated Minyue and there are no reinforcements from the army. How can we fight again at this time?" Zhao Yu snorted coldly. He couldn't stand Zhao Wen's behavior of always thinking of paying tribute to the Han Dynasty.
In his eyes, South Vietnam has been a nation for hundreds of years, and this honor will never be tarnished by anyone.
Zhao Hu hesitated and looked at Lu Jia: "Prime Minister, please make your thoughts clear."
Lu Jiadao: "I have no intention of continuing the crusade against Luoyue. What I mean is that although the Han people captured the royal city of Minyue and moved away their people, they did not establish counties in Minyue. Taking advantage of the imperial decree of the Han Dynasty,
Before they arrive, we should immediately send troops to Fujian and Vietnam to occupy all the territory to expand our strength in South Vietnam, so that we can compete with the Han Dynasty."
"Oh...! What the Prime Minister said makes some sense." Zhao Hu nodded.
Zhao Wen said quickly: "Absolutely not, Your Majesty, absolutely not! Although the land of Fujian and Yue is good, it is a bait for the Han people. We are just waiting for the Yue to compete with each other so that they can reap the benefits of the fishermen!"
Zhao Hu frowned again: "What Dr. Zhao said makes sense."
"Your Majesty, don't listen to what Zhao Wen said. Minyue has been defeated. Among all the Yue, Nanyue is the largest. Who dares to compete with us? As long as we capture the land of Minyue, Nanyue can increase by hundreds of miles. In less than three years
, I, South Vietnam, will send troops to conquer Zhuyue again, but we can go down at once and miss this opportunity. If we wait for the Han people to occupy Fujian and Yue, South Vietnam will never be able to make a difference!" Lu Jia knelt down and burst into tears as he spoke.
Zhao Wen also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. This is a Han people's trick. Don't fall for it!"
Zhao Hu had a big head. He put his hand on his forehead. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He lowered his head and looked at the courtiers. Only Zhao Yu stood quietly. The other ministers were whispering to each other. It was useless to ask them, so he asked Zhao Yu directly.
Yu: "General Zhao, if I give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, how long will it take to capture the land of Fujian and Yue?"
Zhao Wen knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, in as little as three months and as little as two months, we can occupy the land of Fujian and Yue."
Zhao Hu pondered for a long time: "Forget it, just follow the words of the Prime Minister and order Feihu Camp to set off immediately and capture Minyue before the Han people!"
"No!" Zhao Yu kowtowed respectfully, stood up and stood aside.
Zhao Wen was shocked and banged his head: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
Nanyue still couldn't hold it back and finally took action. When Ying Guangji received the news, he became furious and pointed in the direction of Panyu in the south and cursed. After cursing, he felt relieved and fell down on a wooden chair, holding his head and crying. The thorns kept coming.
Standing aside and watching, he said nothing and drank in silence. Since this was part of Su Ren's plan, Jingjia never doubted whether there would be any problems. From the time he met Su Ren, all Su Ren's plans seemed to be
All are carried out in accordance with Su Ren's wishes.
With a long sigh, he handed the wine bag to Ying Guangji: "Take a sip. This is the wine I got from Su Ren. I'm usually reluctant to drink it. I'll take it out today and we'll get drunk!"
Ying Guangji took the wine bag, raised his neck and drank most of it: "A bunch of idiots, can no one see such a clumsy strategy?"
Jingjia smiled: "It's not that they didn't see it, it's that Su Ren's bait was too big. Minyue is the largest branch among all the Yue. It's such a big area, and anyone has the capital to become the king of Yue."
, who among the other Yue kings is not greedy?"
"King Luoyue and King Xihou didn't take action!"
"They are waiting to see if the Han people will obstruct it. If the Han people have no intention of obstructing South Vietnam, the two families will pounce immediately."
"Hey!" Ying Guangji sighed, took another big gulp, and almost drank all the wine in the wine bag: "It's just that these people of my country, Qin, have suffered!"
Jingjiang was a little reluctant to part with his wine, but he invited Ying Guangji to drink it, so there was no reason to ask for it back. He sat down in his seat again and said, "Don't worry about this. I heard that Su Ren has prepared food at all intersections."
, clothes, and even temporary thatched houses have been built. If any Yue people escape, they will be well taken care of. If you want the Yue people here to survive, you'd better have your people notify the people. If war comes,
Going to Hanjing is a good choice.”
"Hmph! Su Ren is trying to dig up the foundation of our Great Qin. I will not let the people of Great Qin go to the Han Dynasty!"
Jingjia sighed and said no more. He had already seen Ying Guangji's paranoia, and it was useless to say anything at this time.
The breeze rises, carrying a faint earthy smell, and the dry season in Lingnan is coming. This place is very strange. There are only two seasons in a year, the dry season and the rainy season. During the dry season, the sky is clear all day long, sometimes for ten and a half days.
There is not a drop of rain for months. And in the rainy season, there can be three or five rains in a day. Su Ren doesn't like it either in the dry season or in the rainy season. The dry season is too hot and the rainy season is too humid, and the quilt he sleeps on can be lifted up.
dripping water.
The dry season also has an advantage. It is suitable for marching and arranging everything. Even if you have to rush, you can walk a few more miles. In several counties bordering Vietnam, Su Ren set up so-called refugee camps and ordered the local county magistrates and
The county magistrate took charge personally and sent all the newly appointed school and county lieutenants there to maintain public order and to screen out spies.
Riding a horse, Su Ren went to the refugee camp closest to Zheling. This place belongs to Shangyu and is within the scope of Xiao Zuo's management. Although Li Danghu has agreed to accept Xiao Zuo as his arm, but now
In an emergency situation, Xiao Zuo could only serve as a captain first and then take them away when they returned to Chang'an.
The county magistrate of Shangyu is a skinny old man with patched clothes. I don’t know whether he did it on purpose or because he is really poor and has no clothes to wear. Logically speaking, the monthly salary of a county magistrate is 600 dan, which is enough for the family to eat and drink.
We will never fall into this kind of world. Later generations once said that a pure magistrate is worth one hundred thousand taels of silver. That is to say, no matter how honest a magistrate is, he can still have one hundred thousand taels of silver. Although the Han Dynasty is not as good as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the county magistrate is not as good as the prefect,
You shouldn't treat yourself so poorly when it comes to dressing and eating.
"I have met Su Changshi, the magistrate of Shangyu County, An Guojunyi!"
Su Ren glanced at it and said with a smile: "Anguo County Magistrate, are you dressed like this on purpose?"
An Guo Junyi was startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I don't dare. There are so many people in my family and my salary is not enough to eat and drink. I really have no choice. I don't mean to humiliate Chang Shi."
"Oh? How many people are in your family?"
"There are ten family members at home."
"Ten people? The salary is six hundred dan. How can you be so poor with ten people?"
Xiao Zuo knelt down quickly and said: "Su Chang Shi Rong, although the Anguo County magistrate only has ten family members, he has no less than three hundred servants, so..."
"Three hundred people?" Su Ren was really angry. According to Xiao Zuo's words, ten family members and three hundred servants, that is, thirty people serving one person. Except for the imperial palace, who else could have such a level of luxury?
What’s more? In a remote small county, a county magistrate was like this. Su Ren wanted to kill someone.
Xiao Zuo said quickly: "The general has not finished what he said! The servants and servants of the magistrate's family in Anguo County are all homeless women and children in Shangyu City. Shangyu is close to Nanling and is often harassed by Yue people, making it impossible for women and children to live.
The Anguo County Magistrate couldn't stand it, so he took them into his family. Although they were servants, it was actually the Anguo County Magistrate who took them in."
Su Ren felt a little relieved and asked everyone behind Anguo Junyi: "Is this serious?"
Everyone said in unison: "It's absolutely true. If Chang Shi doesn't believe it, just go to the county government and have a look."
Almost doing something wrong, Su Ren coughed twice to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Everyone, get up! Don't help others casually if you don't have the ability. You must have the ability to do good things. The leader of a county must have the people of the county in his heart.
, a mere three hundred women and children caused the county magistrate to become like this, I think you are not very qualified as a county magistrate."
Anguo Junyi didn't dare to raise his head: "It's exactly what Su Changshi said. The old man is unable to do what he wants, and he really failed the imperial court."
"Get up too. Put this aside for now. If things in the refugee camp don't go well, let's discuss it!" Su Ren looked around: "Lead the way and go to the place you selected now. There are many refugees in Vietnam."
Arrive soon, there must be no mistakes."
Su Ren went first, An Guo Junyi led the way, and the group headed towards the refugee camp in a mighty manner. Called a refugee camp, it was just a large open space. Dozens of long thatched huts were built on the roadside, with ventilation on all sides and no roofs.
The cover is not thick enough. Fortunately, this is the south and it is the dry season, so this arrangement is not a big problem.
Not far away, a few civilians were building a stove. A little further away, a wooden house was sealed tightly. A dozen county soldiers stood around majestically in full robes. Su Ren nodded with satisfaction: "It's still the same."
Okay, can we do the epidemic prevention work?"
Anguo Junyi said quickly: "Doctor Chunyu has already been here, and I have also arranged special people. As long as people from Yue come, according to what Mr. Chunyu said, they should take a bath first and then drive away insects. Lime is also buried under these huts. If there is any illness,
If the county's medical officers provide treatment on the spot, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Su Ren nodded: "You are right about this. Plague is most likely to occur when there are many people. If these Yue people get plague, your county and even the whole Kuaiji will suffer. Everything else is easy to handle, and epidemic prevention is the most important."
