Chapter 786: Expanding the Border and Five Ridges
(88106 .) In the spring and early March of the sixth year of the first century, following the Ba Guoxiang clan, the Zheng clan, which had no danger to defend in the northeast of Wushan, was once again attached to the Qin State and sacrificed the northeast gap in the defense line of Wushan in Ba State.
If so, the five major tribes of Ba have gone to the second, and the remaining Fan clan, Ba clan and Ritan clan are also in danger.
Of course, the last news came again, and it was almost bad news for Pakistan!
The old enemy of Pakistan, the Shu State, which was already isolated by the mountains in the north, suddenly sent troops to destroy and annex it!
And this is like a hungry wolf coming down the mountain, and Lao Qin is staring at the Ritan clan bordering Shu in the west of Baguo!
There are fierce tigers in front and hungry wolves in the back, and King Ba has already felt the crisis of losing his country.
In any case, the land of Bashu was originally slightly independent of the Central Plains system, did not understand Ji Zhou Yayan, and had its own set of ignorant and outdated bad habits.
In fact, with the implementation of the Great Qin military system, the unforeseen drawbacks of the original new military system have also been revealed.
Today's Qin court all have a common understanding, that is, it is impossible to let the military system of Great Qin, that is, the twentieth-rank meritorious lord system, become a pool of stagnant water, so that the subsequent Qin Guoqing will lose the dividend of the twentieth-rank meritorious lord system!
Only war!
But don't go to war blindly!
Especially for the Central Plains countries, which are very complicated, every move of the Qin State is a move to the Central Plains countries, and the slightest carelessness can easily cause the princes of the Central Plains countries to rise up and besiege.
Since there is going to be a war, so that the new generation of Qin people who have grown up in the early Yuan era can enjoy the dividends of the Qin 20th rank meritorious system, but it is not easy to start a war against the Central Plains countries, Lin Yuyan and Qin Ting's eyes are naturally looking at the corners that the Central Plains countries have not paid attention to before.
Today's land of Bashu is also regarded as the backyard of the country by Qin and Daqin, whether it is Daqin or Lao Qin, they are tacitly aware of each other in the land of Bashu.
At present, although Shu, Ju and Ba are all in collusion with foreign enemies such as Great Qin and Lao Qin, they are only stubborn in the end, and the land of Bashu is vast and sparsely populated, with a population of no more than one million.
I'm afraid that even the old and weak women and children who are in the entire land of Bashu are probably not the opponents of the 400,000 Great Qin and Lao Qin soldiers and horses, so it can be seen that it is inevitable that the land of Bashu will be forcibly integrated by force in the Central Plains.
But when Lao Qin Xinjun learned that Southern Qin had sent troops to Baguo, he also knew everything and said with a smile: "It seems that Ying Yan also takes a fancy to it, and he must be settled first......"
Immediately, Xianyang also sent people to inform Sima Cuo and Zhang Yi, who conquered Shu, and told them that if they met with the soldiers and horses of Southern Qin in the land of Bashu, there should be no more disputes, and the disputes in the land of Bashu are now based on the will of the two Qins, and the division of Bashu can only be through the negotiation of Wancheng and Xianyang.
Lao Qin is so acquainted, how could Great Qin set off disputes for no reason, and now seeing that the land of Bashu is vast and sparsely populated, although it is rich in minerals, it is also because of the small population distribution, without decades of deliberate management, it is also difficult to develop.
Therefore, it is impossible for the land of Bashu to be a place for Great Qin to vent the dividends of Qin's twentieth rank meritorious lords, so Lin Yuyan's eyes are also looking at other places.
This glance was a vast area that the Central Plains countries had never set foot in, and Lin Yuyan's gaze finally fell on the southern part of the Great Qin Territory.
As everyone knows, the understanding of the Central Plains countries in the south of the Central Plains is only limited to the territory of the Chu State in the old days, and Rao is now, the southernmost concept of the Central Plains is also the place where the barbarians of Jingnan are located, but now with the expansion of the territory after the Qin State occupied Jingdi, the understanding of the southern part of the Central Plains is a little farther.
Of course, there is also a moat lying on the road of Qin's continued southward expansion, which is five large mountain ranges that form a pattern but are integrated into one, and for the time being, it is called "Five Mountains", and the ridge is from west to east, referring to Yuecheng Ridge, Du Pang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge, and Da Yu Ridge.
With the rediscovery of the Weishui River into the Great River and the ancient Shang Yu Road, the Qinling Mountains are still the moat that cannot be easily crossed, but the footprints of the porters and traffickers of the Central Plains have bypassed the majestic and unstoppable Qinling Mountains.
And these five mountains are like the Qinling Mountains of the past, which are regarded as untouchable places!
When the area around Wuling is further south, it is not uninhabited, and other cultures that are independent of the Central Plains civilization were born there.
The footprints of the little officials who traveled the world and drew maps had already arrived at the Five Mountains, and even crossed the Five Mountains, where there were many insects, tigers and leopards, and entered the south of the Five Mountains, bringing some information to Wancheng about the land that the atomic people had not set foot in.
For example, that land is hot and humid, and it seems to be deserted, but it has established a Fang country similar to the Rongdi tribe in the south of Wuling, let's call it Baiyue.
In fact, most of the Baiyue people in the south of Wuling are also the descendants of these ancient Baiyue people, and the southward migration from generation to generation has finally established a foothold in that hot and humid region and sowed the seeds of civilization.
Baiyue in the south of the five mountains is a place with a territory and a population ten times and a hundred times larger than that of Bashu, and it is reported that there are countless Nanban tribes in the south of Baiyue, and it seems that this area is endless.
Of course, the reason why Lin Yuyan set his eyes on this place is also meaningful, because the Qin officials who had arrived south of Wuling also described that the local rice cultivation can be three crops a year, and there are many local rivers, and often only need to sow a wave of millet in the river valley, and it can be harvested after sixty or seventy days.
In such a place, Qin Guoyan can not care?!
Nowadays, the struggle between the countries of the Central Plains consumes national strength, and the essence and foundation of national strength is to compete for the amount of grain storage.
The Qin State has already confirmed that what the little official who arrived in the south of the Five Ridges said is true, indeed, the winter in the south of the Five Ridges will not snow, and such a place that does not understand the Central Plains at all is undoubtedly a cornucopia.
If this place is occupied and used exclusively for the production of food, doesn't it mean that Great Qin will have a steady stream of food to support the consumption of national strength in the future!
No matter what difficulties it is in sending troops to the south of the Five Mountains, just seeing the grain production in the south of the Five Mountains three crops a year is already difficult to stop the ambition of the Qin State to expand the borders!
If you want to conquer the south of the five mountains, you must cross the five mountains, and the first person to bear the brunt of the five mountains is naturally Yuecheng Ridge, which is the birthplace of Xiangshui, and the south of Yuecheng Ridge is also a river similar to the big river, which leads directly to the coast of the South China Sea.
From this point of view, how to solve the problem of Yuechengling is that most of the national policy of expanding the south of the five mountains in the south of Great Qin has been implemented.
