Chapter 295: south

In the eighth year of the cloud, King Jing forced the surrender of Queen Wu Yue to lead the Western Expedition. He continued to defeat Feiheng and then defeated Wang Gaoxuantong. Then he went north to participate in the battle of the capital of Chu. Yue Chao was defeated and surrendered to Ninghou.
This series of battles immediately shocked the world.
Although the world has been in chaos since a few years ago, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that when it comes to the revolution, and the north is also happening, it is still a step slower than the already unified south.
Even though the North is far better than the South in terms of fields, population, and culture at this time, one is divided and the other is unified, and the power and momentum that can be used are not the same.
Starting from scratch, the name of King Jing Duanyu, who was previously unknown, spread to the world, and was studied by many unknown people.
Although its system has been widely criticized by northern officials, who do not want to obtain their own fiefdoms, or even real talents, do not want to be hereditary and dominate?
Therefore, with the spread of Duan Yu's fame and achievements, more and more people and families in the north, either attracted by fame or fortune, or forced by war, crossed Henan one after another, and the main target for defecting is Jing Wang Duan Yu!
Chu Wangdu.
After a turbulent battle, Yue Chao led his army to return to his homeland and has already agreed to send troops to help in the next year.
On the other hand, Duan Yu moved the office to the royal capital of Chu, renamed it'Jingyang', and planned to use it as the king's capital of Jing Kingdom in the future.
Because the weather has entered the autumn and winter, no major things have been done. The first is to reorganize the army, stabilize the order in the city, collect the corpses for the Chu kings, and worship the Chu kings of the past, all in order to capture the hearts of Chu people.
Next, it was to appease the settled southern states, appoint scholar-officials to grant territories, order to appease the refugees, organize production, and so on.
Repeated battles have completely destroyed Weizhou, which was once the richest and most powerful state. Fortunately, the foundation is still there. As long as a generation of refugees can be deployed, they can generally recover.
Fortunately, in the severe cold winter, no plague was spread. After nine years in the cloud, everything gradually got on track.
In early spring, everything flourishes, and there are luxuriant grasses on both sides of the road, and occasionally a few wild flowers can be seen.
A huge team is on the way to Jingyang.
"Sheng'er, you are about to see your father, are you happy?"
In the heavily guarded carriage, Yue Shu coaxed his son, and asked Xiao Ju outside: "Where are they?"
"Knowing Princess, you have already arrived at the acropolis of the royal capital. You can enter the capital at noon at most!"
Xiaoju's well-behaved voice came.
"It's incredible..."
Yue Shu opened the curtains and looked at Tian Long, who was beginning to resume production, with an incredible color in his beautiful eyes.
As a daughter of Wu Yue Fengjun, she grew up listening to the horror of Chu State as a child.
But unexpectedly, the situation in the south has changed drastically in just a few years.
Not only did the Kingdom of Chu perish, but even the original King Wu Yue surrendered to her husband and became a prince of Yue Hou, and even abdicated to his son!
The entire south is already under Duan Yu's authority.
All this made her not only in a dream, but the whole Yue clan was caught off guard.
Unexpectedly, a small amount of investment in that year actually obtained such a generous return.
Today, the Yue clan has become a hard-core supporter of King Jing, not only has the fief expanded repeatedly, but also shoulders the important task of monitoring the country.
There are even rumors that King Jing will allow the Yue clan to establish a country in the future!
It can be said that one person really gained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven!
Originally, all of this is developing on the bright side, and the more comfortable it is, it should be worry-free.
But at this time, a trace of sadness appeared on his face again, and he secretly glanced at the people behind the carriage.
Among the group of people, there was both Yu Jingbai and a young girl who had just come from Yunzhong Island, Ye Zhiyu!
Although the three wives and four concubines of men in this era are just ordinary, and the king is even less likely to have only one wife, but the kind of childhood sweethearts and love each other makes the more and more a strong sense of crisis.
In this relocation, the Yue family not only contributed their efforts, but also collected dozens of beautiful southern lesbians. As Yue Shu’s ‘mother’s family’ and ‘concubines’, it is self-evident that they want to help their pets.
The nobles of Wu Yue State were even more eager for this, and even the Yuehou court had a concubine here.
In the era when King Jing ruled the south, the original Wuyue aristocracy did everything in order to strive for more benefits.
Feeling the peeping gaze, Ye Zhiyu's expression remained motionless.
Looking at the majestic city gradually appearing on the horizon, there is a trace of loss.
Even though I knew that my elder brother had great ambitions, he couldn't expect it to be so far.
In the middle of the sun, the long line finally came to Jingyang City Gate.
There, Duan Yu, Qin Feiyu and others had already been waiting.
First it was the tedious etiquette, and immediately took the queen into the palace, and then feasted on the officials, noisy and noisy until late at night, Duan Yu had spare time and met Ye Zhiyu in private.
A few years later, Ye Zhiyu's refining qi to nourish his body, it was just like his twenty-eight years, and he broke through into the realm of Yuanshen, which made Duan Yu slightly surprised.
"How is Yunzhongdao in the East China Sea?"
He paused, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak, but he still asked about official business.
"Entrusting the king to his fame, although there were some twists and turns at the beginning, neither Izumo nor Haisong dared to neglect..."
In fact, when Duan Yu hadn't made his mark before, there were so many open guns and dark arrows. How could you finish the hard work?
It's just that Ye Zhiyu is not a common woman after all, and crying grievances is not her style.
"That's it..."
Duan Yu paused: "I'm going to give you the entire Yunzhongdao, the same is true for the name of Yunzhongjun..."
As for the Yunzhong Chronicle, perhaps it should be changed.
After all, if you unify the South, you can also claim the emperor in a careless manner.
Not to mention, among the courtiers recently, the trend of persuading to advance has become more and more prosperous. This is a great achievement, and no one wants to miss it.
"Mr. Cloud?"
Ye Zhiyu was startled.
"Yes, I hope you like it... After all, Yunzhong Island is too small, and I will open it up in the future to cut pieces of meat from the East China Sea countries!"
Duan Yu smiled.
In fact, as a famous device when I started, Yunzhongjun means extraordinary.
Even if he was called the king before, he still used the Yunzhongdao reign, which is evident.
Ye Zhiyu didn't know why. He was so wronged before and could bear it, but at this time his eyes were red and tears splashed...
...
On the second day, Duan Yu, who was a little late, called everyone to discuss matters.
Inside the Chamber.
Duan Yu was dressed in a king's suit and ranked high in the ninth class. He looked down at the important civil servants such as Xiang Wuji, Qin Feiyu, Guo Bairen, Li Yulong and Yuan Liulang.
Xiang Wuji bowed with everyone, feeling the spirit of the upper first, and couldn't help but sing in his heart: ‘The king is getting deeper and more unfathomable! ’
After a while from the mountain, Duan Yu waved his hand and said: "The kingdom is newly opened, you must use your life, Bai Ren, you have worked hard during this time! Let's talk about the situation with you in general..."
"Serving the king, why is it so hard?"
After becoming prime minister, Guo Bai endured his long beard, and he felt a bit of a lupine scarf: "The southern land can be divided into 20 states. In the past, there were 12 southern Chu states. Wu Yue occupied four, and Lu Hun, Fei, Gu and other small vassals Occupying the remaining four, now the king dominates the south, canonize the country of Yue, Ning, Lu Hun, Fei, Gu, etc., and the small southwestern countries such as Lu, Shi, and Zhang have also invited to come down... There are eleven states here, for the time being, Those who are truly in the hands of the king are all Kyushu, Huan, Wei, Ying, Jiaoman, Zhongjiao, Huan, Sui, Nanju, Ling..."
This core mastery area was only half of the previous Southern Chu, and even among them there were also many scholar-officials who were entrusted by Duan Yu.
Therefore, in terms of actual authority, Duan Yu felt that perhaps he was even worse than the king of Chu before the civil strife.
There is no way, this is the drawback of the enfeoffment system.
But if you want to eliminate the princes and princes, and practice great unification, you will not be able to unify the south so quickly. At least you will have to fight for a few more years. There is no way to kill and you miss the opportunity.
Therefore, it can only be said that there are pros and cons.
If you start from your own point of view, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Of course, if you pit the offspring or something, you can only count them as unlucky.
A son can cheat his father. When a father cheats his son, there is no other way but to endure it.
Guo Bairen’s voice continued:
These nine prefectures, a total of 207 counties, have more than 2 million households and more than 50 million acres of land according to the previous records of the Chu Ting...Of course, after the war, maybe there will be no more than six or seven. , The number of fields and population in each county still needs time to verify one by one..."
The most devastated places, like Weizhou, where great wars are continuous, and the common people may not survive one ten, while others that are less affected by the war and are quickly stabilized, can retain a few minutes of vitality.
"Jingyang, according to the king's will, accepts the refugees, clears the fields, and turns them into military garrisons. At present, they have accommodated 100,000. With the support of Nanju and Yue, it can still be harvested..."
Duan Yu sighed when he heard the words: "The people are struggling, and they want to dominate the world, and return the Li people to live a bright world, but the north is urgent, how are the soldiers preparing for the south?"
"Enlighten King!"
General Qin Feiyu went out and said: "The minister and General Xiang Wuji put down Weizhou, recruited the dead and accepted the rebellion, and got 43,000 soldiers. The original Jingjun was put back into the queue and recruited young men to train, totaling 50,000. ."
This 100,000 army is most of the capital for King Jing to maintain the throne.
"If you are lonely preparing to fight in the north~EbookFREE.me~, you will need an army of at least 300,000! It will take several years to pacify the refugees before they can be effective... Now we can only rely on the vassals."
The Yue country can produce at least 50,000 soldiers, and the Ning country can also produce 50,000 troops. This is their obligation as a servant country. There are also some scattered countries, which add up to 450,000.
In addition, Duan Yu's literati and officialdoms, it is still possible for Duan Yu's literati and officials to make up a 50,000 yuan army.
This is three hundred thousand, barely able to fight in the north.
Duan Yu's eyes turned: "Yuan Liulang, Li Yulong!"
"The minister is here!"
Yuan Rokuro had always been the commander of the navy, training troops in Nanju, and at this time also trained a good soldier.
"I appoint you alone as the chief governor of the Jingguo navy division and Li Yulong as the deputy governor, reorganize all the remaining naval divisions in Southern Chu, and recruit more to make up 50,000 people to block Tianhe!"
If you don't think about victory, you must first think about defeat. As long as you master the navy army and block the Tianhe, the south will be safe. After all, horses can't swim.
