Chapter 1061 - Cutting Friendship (3)
After the black scarf was extinguished, Sun Guopingnan County was incorporated into Liang State, and Gongxiang should also be incorporated into Liang State, but how could Bailiyan make rapid progress on the Eastern Front that year, causing Wei Guo to make peace with the Foolish Sect first, and achieve a breakthrough on the Western Front, and Liang State failed to occupy another county.
Countries will take certain measures to appease the population of the newly annexed land, but after all, millions of more immigrants will be added overnight, which will seriously affect domestic stability, so it is inevitable to give a certain amount of high-pressure policies at the same time.
As the spoils of war, all the existing nobles and meritorious officials were allocated land and fiefdoms, and by moving into the new land, stabilizing the region was the main means for each country to absorb the population of the newly annexed land.
However, defeated countries often suffer from the disadvantages of humiliation and political defeat, which directly lead to the loss of state protection of their original people, reduced to second-class citizens and even untouchable slaves, and oppression, so the population policy of each country in the process of naturalization is more severe than that of its own population.
Although the Liang state was the suzerain, it still had the last form of slavery, which did not disappear completely, and the land feudal system under the old elite system further increased the exploitation of the new landowners.
Therefore, the standard of living of the old people of Sun State in Pingnan County is lower than that of the native people of Liang State, and higher than that of the old people of Sun State under the occupation of Wei Guo. But in general, compared with the previous identity of Sun Guoren, the treatment is still one level lower, and the dissatisfaction under the oppression has always existed, so the security of Pingnan County is the worst, and there are mountain bandits who kill people and rob the government and the powerful every three or five times.
Liang Guo is still like this, and Wei Guo is even more so, it is not uncommon for clusters of mountain bandits to converge into a large chaotic army in this war-torn situation, Bailiyan uses this as a cover to say things, Gu Ruquan has no way to refute it, and can only use the words of "non-interference in internal affairs" to cover it up.
After getting the customs clearance documents issued by Gu Ruquan, Bailiyan did not stop any longer, left immediately, and after turning back to the east for forty miles, he changed his route to the south and detoured to Boyuan.
Jiang Jie cut off all the passages to the west, and it was obviously unreasonable to continue to go west. To the south is the territory where Zhou Kong is entrenched, and through this place, he invisibly told Gu Ruquan that he was going to make a final negotiation with the rebellious army, and with him covered, you have to weigh it.
Customs clearance documents are different from customs clearance documents, which are officially issued certificates, and as long as the two countries are not in a state of hostility, they can clear customs at any time.
However, if the customs clearance country is in a state of war, if your face is not big enough and your background is not oppressive enough, the role of customs clearance documents will be greatly reduced, and it is common to stay and wait, and even be detained and tortured is inevitable. In addition, the customs clearance document must be issued by the country where the holder is located, and Bailiyan does not have this condition.
Therefore, the War Guards rashly entered the Liang State for transit, and it was easy to be intercepted by the Liang army, so an effective customs clearance document was needed at this time. Gu Ruquan, as a lieutenant, has the same effect as Xiangguo in his customs clearance documents, and with this thing, it will be much more convenient all the way.
Boyuan City is located in the east of Gyeonggi County of Liangguo, Peishui County is clear at a glance, Peishui County is a county with extremely rich water resources, Boyuan is the place where many large rivers in the county converge, otherwise it can be called "Boyuan" place.
Due to its dense rivers, abundant water resources, and vast plains, Peishui County has always been one of the most fertile plains in the granary of Liang and even in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is also the largest county in Liang Province. It was with this county that the Liang State was able to raise hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of war horses during the war.
In the early years of the Liang State, the area of the three counties should be more than 400,000 square kilometers, but the population was not much less than that of the Xian State, which had only seven counties, which showed that the national strength of the Liang State was not weak thirty years ago, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a pocket power.
But if you look at the huge Central Plains, more than 400,000 square kilometers is the land of the projectile, and now the small 2 million square kilometers of Xianguo is just a corner of the land, in the era of low productivity and lack of medical conditions, more land means more population, Wei Xu Sun Zhi Xu Changsun Jin is not a land and population double power.
It was the end of February when I arrived in Boyuan, and I kept receiving news of the spread of smallpox along the way. Ji Kang and Li Yi returned to China in September last year after seeking medicine to no avail, and finally had to take the cowpox for vaccination, but it must have been too late. Two years ago, if he had heeded the advice, smallpox would not have been so rampant in Liang.
Baili Yan came suddenly, and the speed of traveling four or five hundred miles a day was extremely fast, and Liang Guo actually did not know that Baili Yan had arrived in Boyuan City, and it was not until he passed through the east gate before entering the city that the news was reported to the Son of Heaven. Hearing the news that Bailiyan suddenly came, the Son of Heaven was surprised.
"Xiangguo, where is Bailiyan now?"
"Your Majesty, after Bailiyan entered the city, she went straight to the Jingshang Mansion, and she should have gone to visit her sister Bailijuan."
"Just to visit Bailijuan and abandon the army, isn't it like child's play to treat the military plan as a child's play!" The Son of Heaven didn't believe that Bai Liyan left a million army just to visit his sister, and then said: "There must be other plans for this." ”
Xiangguo Jia Zhou nodded in agreement:
"Your Majesty, Bailiyan is a treacherous person, and he will never come to Boyuan to visit Bailijuan for no reason, but wherever he goes, it is not for profit, and the minister concludes that Bailiyan's visit to Boyuan must be related to the current situation. It is necessary to find out the origin of the problem as soon as possible so that it can be easily formulated as a countermeasure. ”
"Xiangguo's words are very popular with the widow, so send someone to do it immediately."
"No!"
At this time, Bailiyan was a guest at Jingshanggong's house, and Li Dai set up a banquet at home to entertain Bailiyan, and the atmosphere was very harmonious:
"My brother-in-law's divine power is known to the world, and he deserves to be a tiger general in my Central Plains."
"Hehe, my brother-in-law has an overreputation. Yan can have today's merit, everything depends on the wisdom of King Xian, and the hundred officials work together, how can I take on this great responsibility alone, but my brother-in-law has great talent but cannot be reused, which is really a pity. ”
"Eh, although my brother-in-law is not in an important position, he also lives a leisurely life, and it is better to be with your sister for a long time than to deal with hundreds of officials and scholars all day long."
Li Dai is very kind-hearted and has no power in the court, but as one of the few dukes of the Liang State, coupled with the relationship between Bailiyan and Bailijuan, Li Dai's status has been improved, although major decisions cannot be said, as long as they are related to the economy, they cannot bypass Xianguo.
Bai Lijuan didn't talk much during the conversation, Li Yi still couldn't change his gossiping problem, in his previous life, he often said that "the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change", Bai Liyan now feels more and more reasonable.
"Uncle, since the Xianjun army started its army, it has been rumored that the firearms used are extremely powerful, and Du Ruixun was defeated by tens of thousands of elites overnight across the Sishui River, and my uncle can bring this kind of firearms to his nephew to see and understand."
"Hehe, you don't make people worry." Baili Yan said while touching his waist with his hand, untied the holster and took out a revolver and said: "This is one of them, it can penetrate all the elite iron armor in the world within seventy steps, injuring people's lives, compared to the rope hat gun flat hand cannon seen, it is more powerful, it can fire six times at a time, it is very convenient." ”
Bailiyan opened the bomb nest, withdrew six bullets, closed the insurance and demonstrated how to use it, Li Dai Li Yi and his son were still confused, Li Yi couldn't help asking:
"Uncle, can such a small firearm hurt people's lives?"
Bai Liyan said with a smile, took out a bullet on the table and said:
"Do you see, this contains gunpowder, but it is not black fire powder, after loading this nest, pull the hammer here, aim at the target and pull the meniscus hook (i.e., the trigger) at the index finger, you can ignite and shoot the projectile."
Li Yi was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked again:
"Don't you need to light a fire?"
"No, you don't." Bai Liyan affirmed, turned over the tail of the bullet and said to him, "You can see that there is a small circle here." ”
"Well, I see, what's the use?"
"There's another kind of gunpowder buried in the ring, which explodes on its own when struck hard, igniting the gunpowder inside and pushing the front projectile out. Therefore, there is no need to load gunpowder projectiles from the front mouth, as in the past. ”
"Uncle is saying that the gunpowder is all in this copper skin, and it can be fired continuously as long as it is constantly replaced and loaded with bullets."
"Yes, that's exactly what it is. Of course, this kind of revolver is only one of them, and the Xian army also has other forms of firearms. From now on, the Xian army will be equipped with more of these firearms, with a range of three to five hundred paces. 10,000 people can easily fire hundreds of thousands of projectiles in a quarter of an hour, and from then on melee combat will be replaced by firearms. ”
At this time, Li Dai's scalp was numb when he heard it, and he blurted out:
"Isn't this invincible in the world!"
"Hehe......" Bai Liyan smiled indifferently, did not give a positive answer, and instead retracted the bullet and revolver in the holster.
For the current princes, the emergence of mature hot weapons is tantamount to a catastrophe, and the equipment is not at the same level at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the world is invincible.
However, Bailiyan is not a weaponist, people are still an important factor in determining war, and when the weapon generation gap cannot completely crush the lower civilizations, the war will often fall into a more passive situation.
Li Dai Li Yi's mood is obviously a little fluctuating, but the demeanor of the father and son is completely different, although they are both a little lost, Li Dai's loss is even more pessimistic, and Li Yi's loss is more novel.
After a short time, a maid outside the house came into the house to report:
"Lord Qiyu, Lord Gusimi Khan has come to meet the Marquis of Yongxing."
"Oh!" Li Dai felt a slight difference, and then looked at Bailiyan and said, "My brother-in-law is familiar with Lord Gu Simi Khan, so I can know his meaning. ”
"A little bit of it. I also borrowed a hall from my brother-in-law, and I will meet him when I go to meet him. ”
"It's okay, just the front yard and the back hall, it's spacious."
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
Raising his hand and giving a slight salute, Bailiyan got up and left the table.
Because they came to Boyuan for refuge, the magnates did not have any property in the local area before, and the houses they lived in were all temporarily leased and purchased, or even requisitioned, so the area was not very large.
Jing Shanggong's identity was only divided into two small courtyards, and the Son of Heaven could only live in the home of Boyuan Jun Ji Feng, so he could only entertain Gu Simi Khan in the front yard and back hall.
