Chapter 31 Eastward Strategy (II)
Ji Kang, who was the head of a township in his previous life, deeply knows the importance of the "team". Ji Kang's old townsman in his previous life told him that if you want every team member to have one heart with you, this is impossible and impossible. Taizu is so great, he can't do it even as an old man, let alone these grassroots officials below us.
But in order to accomplish something, the team members need to reach a consensus, which is an indispensable condition, which is what his old man called the "united front". Communicate everything privately as much as possible, and when it's almost over, we will study it again. In this way, you will encounter a lot less resistance to what you want to do. Ji Kang thought deeply about this.
Fortunately, after Ji Kang came to this world, people's ideas and concepts were not as "complicated" as in their previous lives. Since the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, under the indoctrination of thousands of years of "bloodline theory", as a noble-born prince of Yan Kingdom, Ji Kang has many advantages than in his previous life.
Seeing everyone like this, Ji Kang also smiled and said: "In addition, after the Donghu royal court learned that Shan Yu was killed in the battle of Kubida, he appointed his brother Solunda as the new Shan Yu, and has sent a messenger to Jidu and my Liaodi, saying, I am willing to make peace with my Yan Kingdom and Liaodi forever, trade with each other, and do not invade each other.
It is not surprising that Donghu did this. This is because we have almost wiped out all the armies of his tribe. Therefore, Donghu does not pose a substantial threat to our Liaodi at present, but it is also very difficult for our Liaodi to occupy the entire Donghu. Besides, it's not bad to keep Donghu as a buffer zone between my Liao and the Xiongnu. ”
When Ji Xin and the others heard this, they all nodded.
Ji Kang walked over and took a sip of water, and then walked to the map in front of the wall. With the baton in his hand, he pointed to the eastern and southern regions of Donghu, and then said: "Now because the Duyuhu tribe is willing to submit to my Liao land as a whole, I can accept part of the border between Donghu and Goguryeo. From the current situation, the Donghu tribe near the Hu tribe is also willing to submit to our Liaodi.
In this way, the essence of this territory has fallen into our hands. After a period of time when people's hearts are stable, we can take the educated Donghu captives to this area to receive them. I don't think most of their tribes will have any opinions.
Three gentlemen, Ji Bo, I plan to set up a new department under the Junhou Mansion, I call him the Senate, with a speaker, an executive speaker, and a number of deputy speakers, and the speaker and the executive speaker will trouble Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian you, Mr. You, Mr. Zou Yan, will temporarily hold these two positions. I call him a senator who is a member of this department, and he only has the power to make suggestions and supervise, but not executive power.
Next, we will ask our instructors to teach the reformers and the noble leaders in these Donghu captives. As long as he is not a person who has done a lot of evil and has great public indignation, and is willing to cooperate with our work, we will bring his family and not exterminate him.
After two years of transformation and study, they will be given another position as a senator, and they will be asked to make a proposal every year to cooperate with the work of our Liaodi Prime Minister's Mansion and other departments.
Three gentlemen, Uncle Ji, the reason why I am doing this is to plan for the future. We're going to get bigger and bigger, and we're going to have more people. We can't kill everyone who disagrees with us.
As long as the people who cooperate with our work and are conducive to the development of our Liaodi, we can include them in this Senate. In this way, we will also reduce many of the obstacles to our future work and strengthen our rule over the areas under our jurisdiction. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Kang paused, waiting for everyone to digest the information. After all, this advice is a bit ahead of its time in this era. The reason why Ji Kang's Taizu in his previous life was able to win the world was that the united front was one of his three "magic weapons".
That great man had long told his descendants that if he wanted to succeed in his career, he had to make his enemies fewer and his comrades more and more. In this world, this "magic weapon" also applies.
As a few people here, they are the most ugly words of this era, and they are many times higher than Ji Kang's IQ. What is lacking is the accumulation of knowledge over thousands of years. Ji Kang knew that they would understand the benefits of this system to Liaodi.
Sure enough, when everyone heard this suggestion, they all bowed their heads and pondered.
After half a ring, Lu Zhonglian stood up and laughed: "Kang'er, this suggestion is simply a stroke of heaven. Wonderful, wonderful! In this way, there will be a lot less resistance to the development of our Liaodi in the future. If you don't cooperate with our work, let him be reformed to death through labor! This can be regarded as a contribution to my Liaodi. ”
Everyone looked at each other, understood, and nodded. Especially Mr. Ji Xin and Mr. Zou Yan, their eyes are moist, what a big ambition my son-in-law has! The old manager Ji Mao was even more excited.
Seeing that everyone understood, Ji Kang also smiled happily, pointed his baton on Goguryeo on the map and said, "Gentlemen, Uncle Ji, no matter how difficult it is for us to Liaodi this year, we must take Goguryeo." In this way, we can connect parts of Liaodi, Goguryeo, and Donghu to form a whole. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Kang himself was also a little excited, pointing to Goguryeo on the map, and part of the area at the junction of Goguryeo and Donghu: "Drama, Mr. Zou, Mr. Lu, Ji Bo." This area is not a wild land, but a fertile land!
According to our survey, the population of these two places is now nearly 1.6 million. In addition, there are many people who are called "savages" by Goguryeo, but they are not counted, and the population potential is still very large. Moreover, the people here are the same as my Liaodi, they can bear hardships and stand hard work, the people are simple, and they are more brave and good at fighting. This is of great significance to my Liao and even Yan Kingdom. ”
Then he took the baton and pointed to the north and east of these two areas: "And there are two large pieces of undeveloped fertile land, which I call the Songnen Plain and the Sanjiang Plain. The area of each plain is equal to, or even exceeds, the area of acres of land that has been reclaimed in our Liaodi.
And the natural water system is abundant, there are many rivers such as Nenjiang River, Hulan River, Heihe River, Songhua River, Tumen River, Mudan River and so on. The land is fertile and abundant. ”
Seeing the sparkling light in everyone's eyes, Ji Kang pursed his lips and continued: "These regions are also very easy to grow grain, although they are the same as my Liaodi, they are ripe once a year. But as long as we develop it, the grain produced in any piece of plain, not to mention for the people of the entire Yan country, is more than enough for the people of the entire Central Plains to eat.
Moreover, natural resources such as minerals, forestry, and medicinal materials are extremely abundant, which can be used by our Yan country for thousands of years. Therefore, the above measures in Liaodi, the boy called it the "eastward expansion strategy". "If you don't take it, you will be blamed", this is the treasure land of Liao and Yan, which is given to me by God! ”
After hearing Ji Kang say this, everyone stood up, their faces full of shock and surprise. The eyes of the four people looking at Ji Kang were all filled with enthusiasm and excitement.
Ji Kang shuddered. Don't be so scared of people, are you? It's too much, it's too much!
Especially Mr. Zou Yan, who ran to the map on the wall. Looking at the regions of Donghu and Goguryeo, his eyes were shining, and he couldn't move away anymore, and muttered in his mouth: "If we connect one day earlier, we will be able to benefit from Liaodi one day earlier!" Kang'er is right, and more importantly, the people in this area also consider themselves to be the descendants of Yan and Huang, and although their traditional culture, writing, and customs are different from those of the Central Plains of China, they are not much different.
Even the official script used in Goguryeo is also the script of my Yan Kingdom. For us, this means that the region will adapt to our Liaodi rule very quickly. ”
And Lu Zhonglian is worthy of being a strategist of this era. He also walked to the front of the map and pointed to the two regions of Goguryeo and the southeast of Donghu. To the crowd: "No, as long as we connect the three regions of Liaodi, Goguryeo, and Donghu, the total population of our Liaodi can reach nearly three million, which is equivalent to the total population of Yan. In this way, the total population and area of the Yan State are comparable to the current Chu State and the Qin State, once he becomes a prince, he ......"
looked at Ji Kang, his face was excited, but he didn't say any more.
Jun Xiangju Xin even touched the white beard under his chin and said: "As Gongzi said, it is not only a matter of population, but more importantly, I will have no worries about food in the future in Liaodi and Yanguo." This is what Gongzi just said, "If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it", even if we pay a big price, this year we will connect these two places with my Liaodi.
Brother Zou Yan, do you still remember that when we assisted our son, Taizu Yan Zhaoxian, we had a discussion on the strategy of Yan Kingdom. At that time, there were two directions, south and northeast, and the result was endless debate and no conclusion.
On the one hand, he sent the general Qin Kai to the northeast, expelling Donghu for thousands of miles, reaching Goguryeo in the east, and going south to the Ji Kingdom. In this way, there are now five counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Yuyang, and Youbeiping;
On the other hand, he sent the general Le Yi to lead the army to attack the Qi State and captured more than 70 cities in the Qi State, all of which were divided into counties and belonged to the Yan State, and only Ju and Jimo were not subdued. If it weren't for the premature death of King Yan Zhao, a major change would have occurred in my Yan country, and the country of Qi would have fallen into the hands of my Yan country. ”
Speaking of this, the old man was full of emotion, shook his head and said, "It's a pity! If the Qi State was destroyed by my Yan State at that time, what would the current situation be? ”
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads and sighed.
The boss Ji Mao looked at everyone's expressions, and when he heard what everyone said, tears fell. Xin said: "Niangniang, the son is the right person to come to Liaodi!" This is really a treasure given by God to the son! ”
Seeing everyone like this, knowing that their thoughts had all been unified, Ji Kang didn't say anything more.
He just glanced at the Minokuni and Samhan on the map, and then turned his gaze to the other side of the map and looked at the Sangdang region of South Korea. Xin said: "Shangdang County Shou Feng Ting, is already ready to dedicate the seventeen counties of Shangdang County to Zhao State, right?" The Battle of Changping is about to break out, right? ”
