In the newly built Xu Rongcheng, Cao Xing, who was dressed in disguise, bid farewell to the young man and his party, led Xu Shu and Cao Feng to walk slowly by the city wall fortifications.

"Nowadays, it's so easy to get satisfied! The staple esophagus of coarse grains is full, with some pickles and wild vegetables, and then ten days of food and rest, this has already been described as a fairyland on earth.

If it weren't for the identity of prisoners, they would almost forget that this was the world, and it was still the southernmost part of the originally uninhabited Pearl Cliff Island. ”

Cao Xuan sighed.

Cao Feng and Han Zhang just listened, and Xu Shu on the side said: "Dubo, you have been rich for a long time, and you have forgotten the suffering of the world, and many places are still eating people!"

And they are all former Haikou people, these days they hide in Tibet, hiding in the southeast coastal islands, even the shore does not dare to approach, every day to live a life of starvation, I guess every day starvation to death know how many, now come to Zhuya Island, the heat is a little hotter.

But don't worry about food and clothing, and have one day off every ten days, where can you find such a good thing? In my opinion, even if you don't mention them as garrisons in the end, they are willing to continue to be prisoners. ”

Cao Feng saw that Xu Shu's tone of speech was a little debauched, and replied unconvinced: "But there are strong people here, and there will be a danger to the life of a strong man sneak attack at any time!" ”

Faced with Cao Feng's words of picking bones in eggs, Xu Shu was not angry:

"To be a pirate is to pin your head to the waistband of your trousers to eat, going out to sea to loot will be in danger of your life, and if you don't go to sea, there will be a sea coward who will bully the small and run over to attack, even if you go out to sea to fish, when will they be able to get out of danger of life with their small boat that is about to capsize on one wave?

The strongman on the island, who doesn't show up once a month, is nothing at all. ”

"You ......"

Cao Feng was about to refute, but Cao Xing interrupted this unnecessary righteous battle with a wave of his hand:

"Hehe, I can't imagine that this Haikou captives have become the best real border immigrants, but unfortunately there are not many Han Haikou in the world.

And the first cantonment soldiers who moved to the south, after a few years of good life, now they don't want to run around anymore, the more qualified the cantonment soldiers, the more unwilling to be willing to transfer, just want to stay in their new home in Jingnan, where they have houses and land, and don't want to leave.

Even the old lands such as Nanhai and Jiaozhi in Jiaozhou are a little reluctant, not to mention the new land of Nichin, which is full of diseases. ”

Cao Xing sighed a little when he spoke, but there was not much wave on his face.

I know that the veteran soldiers are not willing to live the days of migration, but it doesn't matter, they are now in the vast and sparsely populated Jingnan and even Lingnan, and the role of developing the wild south and the new home in their tundi can be achieved.

As for the Indochina Peninsula, in addition to the 450,000 prisoners and immigrants on Zhuya Island, 300,000 will gradually migrate there, and the natives on the island will gradually be reorganized into the identity of Han flag soldiers and go to the Indochina Peninsula for development.

What's more, the Central Plains is still in the midst of war?

Yuan Shao and Tao Qian are quite generous to the people under their rule, but Yuan Shu, the commander-in-chief of Qingyan and Yanzhou, and Gongsun Zhan, who ruled most of Youzhou after Liu Yu came out of Saibei and founded the country, are not so good to the people under their rule, and it is not an exaggeration to describe life in dire straits.

These suffering people are the best immigrants.

Xu Shu saw the little Jiujiu in Cao Xing's heart, and didn't say anything more, but started haha:

"Lord, I didn't expect you to be not in Luoyang, the suggestions of the court on the table will be implemented so quickly, Zhuya said to restore the ancient system, the establishment of Zhuya County was established, and there are also counties to govern Haikou County, the southernmost Xurong County, etc., nine counties around the island, and Wuxing County in the central area."

"This is thanks to Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, and Xi Zhicai! Besides, there are Xu Xiang and Ding Gong in the cabinet, and Yuan is ashamed to make no waves. ”

Cao Xing coped with it, there is a cabinet and parliamentary system, plus most of the cabinet and the congress are his own people, and the army of the division is his loyal subordinates, so he is really not worried about the division, and even some expect the division to be chaotic.

"Zhuya has also stayed for a few months, and the 500,000 immigrants who should come to Zhuya have also come, we should also leave and go to Rinan, the largest county in the world, to have a look, by the way, call Liu Bei, this time I will send him to his feudal state of Shu!"

"No!"

In Xurong County, the army began to assemble, and Cao Xing, who was wearing a Dubo military uniform, became the chief general of the army, and the Huanglong Tianzun in the mouth of the young man led tens of thousands of pro-guards to start boarding the ship.

Standing on the five-masted sea ship with the thousand-year-old jujube wood as the keel, Cao Xing pointed to the east with his hand: "The target is Haikou City, the fleet will go north along the east coast and set sail!" ”

"Woo~"

As the flagship, the five-masted sea ship let out a dull horn sound, and more than 200 sailing ships docked in the harbor began to slowly set sail, and the huge fleet of ships that the vast and mighty seamasters were accustomed to began to turn north along the east coast of Zhuya Island.

The sea breeze is howling, the seagulls follow the fleet, from time to time they land on the sails to rest, cleaning their feathers, for these "guests" who are often accompanied by the sea, the seamaster crew is always extremely cordial, sometimes, when the food is about to rot, some ships will put the food on the deck, give it to these flying "guests", when can fly in the sky like the seagulls, has become a topic of conversation for the crew to talk about idlely.

Hearing such words, Cao Xing often said mysteriously: "Soon! If you are willing to try, it will happen soon. ”

Time passed unconsciously, and the fleet passed through several county and township ports in the east of Zhuya Island along the way, and after replenishing fresh fruits and vegetables, people stopped and came to Haikou County.

When I came to this port again, I saw that the masonry structure of the Haikou city wall not far away had been built half a zhang high, and the final construction was being carried out in the form of rammed earth reinforcement in the outer bricks.

With the original weapons of the strongmen on the island, it is difficult to capture the fortified city with a masonry structure in the lower half of the zhang and a half in the upper zhang.

"Pearl Cliff! You belong to the Han people! ”

Cao Xuan shouted loudly, first startling everyone, and then after recalling the content, they all looked proud.

In just one or two years, Zhuya Island, a paradise for bandits, bandits and other outlaws, has restored the county rule of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is worthy of the pride of all the soldiers, civilians and prisoners who rebuilt Zhuya County.

At the city gate, among the crowd that had just followed Xu Rong out to greet them, the faces of the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang were three people, three colors.

The original naïve Zhang Fei was exposed to the scorching sun in Haikou, which is exactly the same as the image of the black-faced Zhang Fei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The red-faced Guan Yu was full of disdain for Cao Xing's shouting.

However, the big-eared Liu Bei looked very worshipful, as if he was a devout believer of Huanglong Tianzun.
