Chapter 249: A Chance Encounter (1)

Huhuhu~

Stepping on Shin Shi's tail, the sky slowly darkened, gusts of winter wind whistled by, and the official road near the Gyeonggi area, the royal capital of Yongju, was still full of passing pedestrians and caravans.

After the big cold, the temperature in Shu dropped a lot, and the midwinter mode was officially opened, the biting cold wind blew, and the passing pedestrians and businessmen couldn't help but tighten their robes and clothes, and subconsciously stepped up the pace of their feet, so as to arrive at the destination as soon as possible and enter the house to keep warm.

As December draws to a close, the pace of the Spring Festival is approaching.

The Spring Festival, also known as the New Year, the New Year, and the New Year, is one of the most important traditional festivals of the Chinese nation, and it is of great significance to both the ancients and modern people from later generations.

During the Spring Festival, the major forces will hold grand celebrations, and people from all over the country will also gather together to worship the ancestral gods, pay tribute to their ancestors, remove the old and cloth the new, welcome the jubilee and receive blessings, and pray for a good harvest in the coming year.

Benefiting from the enlightened business policy and household registration system under the rule of the southern royal government, in order to earn more money, many people under the rule would choose to do business or work in other places, and the scale of the floating population was much higher than that of other surrounding forces.

At this time, most of the pedestrians and merchants on the official road were full of happy smiles, and many of them hurried back to Wangcheng from other places to reunite with their families and celebrate the New Year.

The three years of the great struggle that are about to pass are of great significance to the power of the southern king, from the local heroes who originally dominated Yongzhou, to one of the overlords of Shu who sat on the land of four states.

The just-concluded battle of Gongzhou shocked the eyes of countless people.

From Sima Yu leading troops into Gongzhou, to finally surrendering Ren Gui and unifying Gongzhou, the whole process took only one month, and its speed and results were beyond everyone's expectations.

No one would have thought that in Sima Yu's hands, there was still a hidden force of the Southern Barbarian Army, and Ren Gui's surrender in the end was even more unbelievable.

It can be said that the decline of Ren Gui, the king of Yuewang, was completely caused by Sima Yu, and no one expected that he would actually plot against the Barbarian Bear tribe when he still had the strength to fight and assist Sima Yu to quickly unify Gongzhou.

This courage and decisiveness that can be taken and put down are also admirable.

And Sima Yu did not treat him badly in the end, although he received Ren Gui's military power, he also gave him the marquis of the county, 3,000 households, and three hereditary generations.

He also became the first person under Sima Yu to be knighted.

With the successive surrenders of the Baicang tribe and Ren Guibu, coupled with the support of hundreds of thousands of southern barbarians, Sima Yu, the king of the south, quickly established absolute prestige in Gongzhou.

After the unification of Gongzhou, Sima Yu did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in Gongzhou, using the resources of the people's livelihood, successively launched the construction plan of 20 cities in Gongzhou, as well as a large number of mountain and road construction plans, and enveloped more than 1 million Nanyi people in Gongzhou.

After the unification of Gongzhou, counting the 500,000 Nanbarians recruited by Sima Yu and the millions of Nanyi people collected, the total population of the people under the rule of the entire southern king finally broke through the 10 million mark, reaching as much as 11 million, and successfully ranked among the princely powers with a population of more than 10 million.

At the same time, the total population of the Xianbei people, the Japanese people, the Nanban people, the Nanyi people and other tribes under the rule also comprehensively exceeded the total population of the Han people in the territory, and the reputation of Sima Yu's barbarian co-leader was also pushed to the peak, and the Nanyi tribes in Xizhou, Yanzhou, and Zizhou in the south of Jinzhou also began to gradually take the initiative to contact the Western Army commanded by Qin Liangyu.

Only when a country is strong can the people have a sense of security, and when the country is strong, the people are safe.

A series of achievements have won the trust of the people, and Sima Yu's prestige in the hearts of the people has also reached its peak.

In such a prosperous situation, the call for Sima Yu to be the emperor and the establishment of the country rose all at once, similar to the Qilin Heavenly Descent, the White Dragon Ascension to Heaven, the Five Emperors' prophecy and other auspicious Rui continued to report to Gyeonggi from all over the country, and the military, civilians, and officials from all over the country were in high spirits, and they wrote tens of thousands of words to ask Sima Yu to become the emperor.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

"Driving~"

"Driving~"

On the official road, the earth trembled lightly, and in the billowing dust and smoke, a group of black-armored cavalry galloped quickly.

"Ma'am, this is the 10th wave of cavalry we have encountered!"

On the road, a handsome young maid in a carriage lifted the curtains and looked at the departing cavalry, and said with a hint of surprise on the corner of her mouth.

The number of departing cavalry was not large, about 50 or so, but all of them were dressed in uniform and excellent armor, and all of them looked resolute, and they knew at a glance that they were the elite of the army. The leader was a general in the armor of a general, and these cavalry were supposed to be his own soldiers.

Cavalry teams like this, they have already encountered 10 waves, and all of them are hurrying to the royal capital.

She was surprised that she had met so many generals in the southern royal army in such a short period of time, after all, this place was close to the royal capital, but it was not unusual for so many generals in the southern royal army to appear.

She was surprised that every general had such a large number of elite cavalry as personal soldiers, which showed that the number of cavalry in the Southern King's army was absolutely huge.

As the ace of the cold weapon war, the cavalry not only has strong combat ability, but also the cost of training and maintenance is even more amazing, and the cost of training a cavalry is enough to feed a small group of infantry.

The fact that so many cavalry could be formed in the army of the southern king shows its strong economic and military strength.

"Sima Yu was able to defeat the 100,000 cavalry of the major general head-on, and his strength should not be underestimated. Now that the New Year is approaching, the officials and people in various places under the rule of the king of the south are so hard to wave the flag for it, presumably it is not far from the day when Sima Yu will claim the emperor and build the country, and at this time, the generals in the army will naturally come in person to show their loyalty! ”

The lady in the young maid's mouth is also very old, she is in the year of Huaxin, her face is beautiful, and she has a cold and calm temperament, she glanced at the departing cavalry outside the window, and quickly turned her attention back to the book in her hand and said lightly.

"Madam, at present, the Great Qin State is in full swing, General Wang Jian is leading hundreds of thousands of troops so that the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army can't raise its head, Shu is afraid that sooner or later it will be occupied by Great Qin, do we really want to move the base camp of the commercial bank to this Yongzhou?"

The young maid or the voice of the lady has long been accustomed to it, spit out the bright red tongue, put down the curtains, held the cheek in her right hand, and looked at the young lady in the car with some fascination.

At this time, the young lady who was quietly looking at the book exuded an indescribable intellectual and seductive charm, which made people want to stop.

"Although the Great Qin country is strong, but after all, it is a country based on farming and warfare, and the status of my businessman in the country is not as good as an ordinary person, even if it is rich and rivals the country, what is the use, it is still not worth the words of the magnates, the more wealth will only bring us greater disasters. I carefully collected the information of the two provinces of Yongliang and the major forces in Shu, and only in the southern kingdom encouraged the common people to do business, commerce was popular, the status of merchants was greatly improved, and some rich merchants and wealthy families could even compete with local officials, which I could never imagine before. Isn't this the kind of place we dream of? ”

Raising her head and glancing at the young maid, the young lady closed the book, her eyes flashed with a hint of fanaticism, and said lightly.

This hint of fanaticism was so vague that it disappeared in a flash, and even the young maid who was very familiar with her did not catch it.

"But as long as we act, I'm afraid the military will strongly stop it, and if we are not careful, it will be the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family!"

It was not the first time she had heard the young lady talk about this reason, but the young maid was still a little worried.

"Don't worry! As long as we can see the King of the South, we have hope! The young lady said unwaveringly.
