18. Arrive at Danyang City
Danyang City is the county where Yangzhou Mu Liu Xiang set up a government, and it can also be regarded as a large county town in Jiangdong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Speaking of which, in Zhu Wei's memory, there are also images of larger cities such as Luoyang and Chang'an, but these are all memories of Zhu Wei before, and they are still not as real as what Zhu Wei sees with his own eyes now.
Danyang City is divided into two blocks, the old city and the new city, or the new city is extended from the old city, so there is also an inner city wall between the old city and the new city in Danyang City.
The city wall of Danyang is about five zhang high and two zhang thick, which is almost five stories high in modern times, and the thickness of a room.
The city wall is made of earth and stone, anyway, it looks like loess, and it is not the kind of city wall built entirely of rock as Zhu Wei imagined.
As Liu Xuan's lair, Danyang City has a lot of population, just on the bright side of the population there are hundreds of thousands, and the other hidden people hidden in the Shi clan and Haoqiang manor, I don't know how much.
As mentioned above, this is the era when the scholars and the powerful control the real power of the local area, and Zhu Wei and Pang Yan can see many scholars with high walls, manors and fortresses on the official road from afar.
The size of some scholars, Haoqiang manors, and fortresses is not even less than a county town, and they can definitely be regarded as local emperors.
If the local emperors support you, they can protect the peace of one side and send you a certain amount of money, food, and soldiers, but if they oppose you, it will be a local cancer.
Eastern Wu has always lived in Jiangdong and has no way to dominate the Central Plains, that is, because the local emperors in these places have pulled their hind legs, and many times Eastern Wu's energy is on pacifying the Shanyue Rebellion and local rebellions.
The root cause of this is that the Sun clan of Eastern Wu wanted to obtain the absolute right to rule Jiangdong, which would naturally hurt the rights and interests of the emperors of Shangtu in these places, and as a result, they could only rely on war to decide who was in charge.
In fact, during the Soochow period, the so-called Shanyue in many places in Jiangdong was no longer a simple mountain and wild Yue tribe, but more of a force formed by the Han people who hid in the mountains and lived in the villages.
It can be said that at that time, all the local forces that were unwilling to pay taxes to the Soochow government, including the local scholars, Haoqiang, and the homeless cottages hidden in the mountains, were officially called Zongjiao or Shanyue.
For example, Yan Baihu, who controls the real power of Wu County, is a local force born of a bandit in terms of identity, and now he can be regarded as a powerful party.
In addition, the more famous Shanyue Sect Marshal in Danyang is Zu Lang, who is also famous in history, and almost killed Sun Ce before Sun Ce grew up.
Therefore, Sun Ce's so-called sweep of Jiangdong is actually to make the county towns of Jiangdong submit to his name, but there are still many local independent forces outside the county seat.
Of course, it was also because Sun Ce was accidentally assassinated and died too early, otherwise with his ability, he should be able to use more effective means to pacify these hidden dangers in Jiangdong, and then draw out his strength to fight for the Central Plains in the north.
(Although Zhu Wei now has to fight for hegemony because of the Three Kingdoms game system, Zhu Wei still has some admiration for Sun Ce.) )
As for Sun Quan, after inheriting the throne of the Sun family, he was actually still a little jealous of the generals left by Sun Ce, especially Zhou Yu.
Therefore, after Sun Quan came to power, under the influence of many factors, he could only be the master of Jiangdong, but he had no mental strength to expand externally.
In Zhu Wei's view, the strong and powerful in these places in Jiangdong and the so-called Shanyue are equivalent to the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou compared to Cao Cao for Jiangdong.
Cao Cao defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion and won more than 300,000 soldiers and a population of more than 1 million, so that he had the capital of the Qingzhou Army.
According to the information in Zhu Wei's memory, the total population of Jiangdong Shanyue is at least hundreds of thousands.
These Shanyue people live all over Jiangdong and live in the fertile fields of Jiangdong, and the sturdy men among them will never be less than the men owned by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion.
So after taking control of Jiangdong, these strong men are a good source of soldiers.
And after these strong men joined the army, they could also eliminate local threats from the root, which seems to be what Eastern Wu did in the later period of Sun Quan, so that Eastern Wu could not only increase the population, but also enrich the army.
It's just that Eastern Wu did it a little late, and when Sun Quan sorted out Jiangdong and wanted to fight for the world again, Cao Cao had already unified the north, and Liu Bei had also gained a foothold in Western Shu, but the strength of Eastern Wu had become the weakest side of the Three Kingdoms.
Well, all this is just the development strategy that Zhu Wei came up with when he saw those local scholars, powerful manors, and fortresses on the way to Danyang City, and it can be regarded as Zhu Wei's plan to learn from history.
Although Zhu Wei is not a genius of resourcefulness, he finally has the knowledge of later generations, and he can avoid detours by learning from history, and at the same time, Zhu Wei will not be like Liu Bei, who has to meet Zhuge Liang in order to set the future development policy through Longzhong.
It's a pity that although Pang Yan's force is extraordinary, his intelligence and political attributes are too low, and he can't help Zhu Wei in this regard.
So whenever Zhu Wei felt that he was too late to think about it, he was a little looking forward to when the two other female generals he created would appear.
Especially Wang Yuyan, who has ninety-seven intelligence, if she is there, Zhu Wei feels that his development strategy should be more detailed.
Just learning from Pang Yan's background, Zhu Wei really doesn't know what identity background Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan will appear by his side and in what way.
Reality is really different from the game.
"It would be great if you could create your own generals directly by your side like at the beginning of the game, so that you can have at least nearly 20,000 troops on hand. If I have 20,000 troops in hand now, and then use the training secret technique of the game to train the soldiers to a hundred morale and prepare seventy elite soldiers within a month, then what is the Jiangdong Little Overlord! ”
It's a pity that this can only be Zhu Wei's imagination, the reality is impossible, and now we can only see if Liu Miao will lend troops to Zhu Wei.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wei looked at Danyang City, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little expectation.
So Zhu Wei took Pang Yan and walked towards the Danyang City Gate, but Pang Yan's image like a fierce god and evil soon attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city at the city gate.
Although there is no military affairs in Jiangdong now, Liu Miao and Yuan Shu are still in a state of war after all.
It's just that Liu Miao is not very enterprising, and he plots something with the strategist Keqing around him all day long, and then sits and waits for Sun Ce to kill him.
But the top doesn't care, but the soldiers below are still a little loyal.
When the gatekeepers of Danyang City saw Pang Yan, they couldn't help but have a little vigilance in their eyes.
Fortunately, there is still Zhu Wei here, and now Zhu Wei still has a status, so Zhu Wei directly called out the officer on duty at the gate of Danyang, took out the Yuzhang Taishou seal, and showed his identity.
The military marquis who was on duty at the gate of Danyang that day did not dare to be disdainful, and quickly sent a few soldiers to escort Zhu Wei and Pang Yan to the inner city of Muzhou Mansion......
