Chapter 318: Hizen Country (Pig: Happy New Year 2019!) )
The Evil Horse Terrace soldiers, who were less than 300 people, could withstand this arrow shooting, and they would be annihilated.
Zhao Yun asked people to go to the city gate, but in fact, they shouted from the bamboo downstairs to inform him of their origins. The people inside also hesitated for a long time before opening them to welcome the arrival of the Han army.
After crossing the wooden fence city wall and entering Changqi City, I saw that it was a small market town, and the houses were basically made of mud or wood, the roofs were all thatched, and the streets were all dirt roads. Not even a decent masonry pavement.
A few local natives can be seen sporadically, and I don't know what strange tools they are holding in their hands.
Zhao Yun said to the central general: "This, this is simply the original history tribe, and it has not evolved yet." ”
Deputy General Zhao Ping said: "What the lord said is extremely true, but I don't know why Your Majesty has made so much effort to come to this wild place, there is no benefit at all." ”
Zhao Yun said: "How Your Majesty does it, there must be his considerations, those of us who are courtiers are not allowed to speculate on the holy will, just be loyal to Your Majesty, understand?" ”
"Yes, my lord!"
The so-called Changqi City is not very large, and after Zhao Yun's 3,000 cavalry entered the city, they soon occupied half of the area of the city.
The Japanese people also looked at the Han army with great curiosity, and after a while, they saw a group of people coming to them, judging from the clothes given to them, they were slightly better than the other Japanese people, and they were still coarse cloth.
Zhao Yun and the others did not dismount, after the gang came, the leader was wearing a turban, and a few feathers were inserted in the turban, only to see him bend down and salute and start talking.
Zhao Yun listened to the interpreter on the side and explained: "I am the second dog of the young Zhichun of the former monarch of the Feiqian Kingdom. ”
After listening to the introduction, Zhao Ping couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun and laughed, and Zhao Yun said seriously: "Mo Xiao, the customs and customs are different, maybe this is just a habit of their names." ”
Shaozhi Junergou, the monarch of the Feiqian Kingdom, a vassal country of the Dog Slave Country, said in a very pious tone: "Welcome the Han army to the Feiqian Kingdom and relieve the siege of our capital." ”
Zhao Yun asked, "Are you a country?" ”
Shao Zhichun Ergou said: "Yes, general, my Feiqian country is indeed an official country. ”
Zhao Yun asked again: "Then how many people are there in your country?" ”
Shao Zhichun Ergou said: "I have 1.4 million people in the former country. ”
Zhao Yun asked, "How many people?" ”
"One million and four million."
Deputy General Zhao Ping couldn't help laughing on the side: "Is this Shaozhi King bragging?" He has 1,400,000 people? The devil believes! ”
The monarch of the Hizen country, Shaozhi Jun, is also known as the King of Shaozhi.
It's no wonder that Zhao Ping doesn't believe that the so-called Changqi National Capital, which is surrounded by a wooden fence, will not have a thousand people, how can he be cheeky and say that he has 1.4 million people in the country? Zhao Yun said to Zhao Ping: "In my opinion, this Japanese man itself has the problem of boasting and arrogant, the former said that the evil horse army has 2,000 people, but it turned out that there are less than 300 people, saying that he has 500 defenders, but in the future, I am afraid that there are no 100 people." ”
Zhao Ping said: "Yes, lord, at his scale, if Fang is in our big Han, he will not even be qualified to fight in the village!" How can he have the face to say that he is a country? ”
"The Barbarian Land, maybe that's what it looks like." Zhao Yun said to King Shaozhi: "Okay, our Han army has also annihilated the evil horse army that came to attack, and relieved you of the danger of prosperity, and then our Han army will be stationed here." There must be no idle people waiting for anyone to approach within a mile of our Han army camp! ”
Regardless of the consent of King Shaozhi, he stationed in Changqi, because he was only a cavalry and did not carry camping materials, so all he could do was to drive the people around him and prevent them from approaching, so as to ensure the safety of the army.
The small Changqi was not enough for three thousand cavalry to garrison, and more than half of the men and horses were connected to the outside of the city. The local Japanese people were driven away, and some of them could not live in the city, so they had to move outside the city.
However, for the Han army, this really can't be called a "city", which can't even catch up with a village.
A thousand inhabitants dare to call it a city! The defenders are not even enough for a hundred!
On the other hand, the capital Luoyang has 2.3 million long-term residents, making it the largest metropolis in the world today! At the beginning of Liu Xie's ascension to the throne, Luoyang's population was exactly one million, and after 12 years of development, it has today's scale.
Of course, such a population is placed today, and it is definitely incomparable with a super metropolis with a population of tens of millions, but it was the Eastern Han Dynasty 1700 years ago, and a city with a population of 1 million can be regarded as a super metropolis, not to mention that Luoyang has a population of more than 2 million.
The entire Eastern Han Dynasty had a population of 84 million, and it was 67 million when Liu Xie ascended the throne.
In terms of area, the entire Waren Island is 370,000 square kilometers, equivalent to one-twentieth of the Eastern Han Dynasty. If calculated according to the population and economic scale of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Japanese people should have a population of 4.2 million.
However, the actual development of the island is less than one-half, and the overall economy of the island lags far behind that of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Therefore, according to preliminary estimates, the total population of Wajin Island should not actually exceed 1.5 million.
And there are more than 100 vassal states on the Waren Island, and then on this average, each so-called vassal state can only spread to less than 15,000 people.
And the fact that King Shaozhi actually said that his Hizen country has 1.4 million inhabitants is obviously exaggerating.
According to the population of 1,000 people in the capital Changqi, the population of Hizen Province will not exceed 10,000 at most, and the maximum number may be between 5,000 and 8,000.
A population of several thousand people dares to call it a country!
In other words, Zhao Yun's three thousand iron horsemen, if they stick down here, they will completely establish a country!
There is little gossip, but it is said that after Zhao Yun's three thousand iron weapons were stationed, it was about an hour, and Liu Xie's large army gradually arrived.
50,000 military horses, plus Zhao Yun's vanguard troops, including 10,000 cavalry alone, and 40,000 brought a large number of various materials.
After stationing down, this Changqi was submerged.
Compared with Chang, the Han army was full of huge equipment, chariots, and horses. And the small shacks of the Japanese people of Hizen Province are just like a joke, insignificant.
Looking around, I can't see Changqi anymore.
Liu Xie ordered to set up camp in Changqi, convened the generals to discuss the matter, and summoned the young wisdom king to meet him.
King Shaozhi was completely shocked by the huge size of the Han army, and when he entered the imperial camp, he was stupid, looking left and right, and was at a loss. Xiao Luozi screamed: "Boldly Diao Min, when you see His Majesty the Great Emperor, don't you know how to kneel?" ”
King Shaozhi hurriedly knelt down and said, "The ministers participate in His Majesty the Great Emperor!" ”
