The Yellow Turbans only wanted to flee for their lives, and had no intention of resisting, and even if they watched their companions die, these ignorant homeless people refused to abandon the hard-won food, and finally could only be buried with the food......

So many baggage burdens dragged down the marching speed of the Yellow Turban Army, coupled with Zhang Liao's expulsion and killing from time to time, the Yellow Turban Army died one after another, and the river beach on the north bank of the canal for dozens of miles was like purgatory, full of corpses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This one-sided slaughter lasted from noon to dawn the next day, when the morning sun appeared in the east, the officers and soldiers of the death battalion finally put away the ring-headed knives of the curling blades, and at this time the canal water had been completely dyed red, and the smell was incomparable, and the morning red like rouge morning glow complemented each other, bewitching and magnificent.

When the news reached the camp in northern Jibei, Sima Ju and Xu He were shocked, never expecting that Zhang Liao, a little-known under Zhang Fan, would break the management of 60,000 elites with 10,000 soldiers in the dead battle camp, and countless displaced people, and cut off the pipe to inherit the canal.

The morale of the Yellow Turban Army fell to the bottom, coupled with the fact that the food was exhausted, and there was no longer half of the heart to resist, 1.3 million Qingzhou Yellow Turbans surrendered to Zhang Fan unconditionally, and Zhang Fan did not miss the contract, pardoned them on behalf of the imperial court and began a large-scale migration.

Where is the destination of the migration? Koto, of course.

For this migration, in fact, most of the Yellow Turban refugees are not happy, why?

This starts with the relationship between the two major river basins. Yanzhou is located between the ancient Yellow River and the ancient Ji River, and belongs to the Yellow River Basin; Because the Yangtze River flows diagonally to the northeast in the southern part of present-day Anhui, this section of the river is used as the standard to determine the east-west and left-right. The area referred to by Jiangdong is the area south of the Yangtze River in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which naturally belongs to the Yangtze River basin.

The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are both the birthplaces of human civilization and jointly gave birth to the ancient Chinese nation. However, in the long history, the Yellow River basin was once more developed than the Yangtze River basin, and China's economic center of gravity was in the north.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the Yellow River valley in the north has been a cultural and economic powerhouse of China. No matter how big the state of Chu is, it wants to be recognized by the eastern states. One can imagine how powerful the cultural influence of the Yellow River Basin was at that time.

This phenomenon lasted from the beginning of historical records until the Sui and Tang dynasties. But since the Song Dynasty, the south of China has caught up with and surpassed the north, and the southern region has become the center of economic gravity of China.

The Yellow River Basin is the birthplace of mankind. Due to the superior natural environment in the historical period, a large population was concentrated, which provided abundant labor for the local area and accelerated the development of the Yellow River Basin.

From the Xia, Shang, Zhou to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China's population was mainly distributed in the Yellow River Basin. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Guanzhong region, Inner Mongolia and Hetao regions, the "Three Rivers" region, and the North China Plain were densely populated.

According to the population data of 2 AD, the population of the country is 57.67 million, with 75% in the north and only 25% in the south; Although the population ratio of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period increased, the population ratio between the north and the south was still 1:3.

Before the Northern Song Dynasty, the spatial distribution pattern of population has always been light in the south and heavy in the north, but with the development of the south and the migration of population, the population distribution pattern has gradually changed.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, due to the "Eight Kings Rebellion", "Yongjia Rebellion" and the high-pressure policies of the Western Jin Dynasty against ethnic minorities, the society fell back into a chaotic situation, and the population of the Yellow River Valley moved south one after another due to social unrest and economic decline.

During the Tang Dynasty, the rulers organized population migrations, especially the "Anshi Rebellion", which caused the population to move from the northern regions to the south. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the "difficulty of Jingkang", the northern people moved south, which changed the population distribution pattern and formed a population distribution pattern in which the south was heavy and the north was light.

……

In the eyes of these displaced people, the land of Chu Yue is vast and people are happy, rice, soup and fish, or fire and water rake, fruit and clams, not waiting for Jia but enough, the land is full of food, and there is no hunger.

Zhang Fan's forced migration is tantamount to moving them from a metropolis with a superior environment to a remote mountain village, and it is strange that this group of people can be happy.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and if it is an ordinary homeless, it may not give in easily, and maybe there will be a riot or something......

But these outcasts are all Yellow Turban traitors, and they should be beheaded according to the law of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, under so many years of government suppression, their dignity and temper have long been exhausted, and it would be good to be able to save their lives, even if they did not have too many complaints about this kind of similar encounter.

In fact, is the Yangtze River basin really so unlivable?

In fact, most of the Yangtze River basin is located in the subtropical monsoon region, the climate is warm and humid, the four seasons are distinct, the annual accumulated temperature is high, the crop growth period is long, the rain and heat in many areas are in the same season, and the light, heat, water and soil conditions of agricultural production are superior.

There are more than 24.6 million hectares of cultivated land in the river basin, accounting for 1/4 of the total cultivated land area of the country, while the agricultural production value accounts for 40% of the country's total agricultural output value, and the grain output also accounts for 40% of the country, of which the rice output accounts for 70% of the country's output and the cotton output accounts for more than 1/3 of the country.

Secondly, there are many lakes in the Yangtze River basin, and the rivers are like nets, and the variety and output of fish rank first in the country, accounting for more than 60% of the national output.

Why did the Yellow River Basin become the economic, cultural and political center of China in the early days?

In fact, before the large-scale use of iron tools, the soil of the Yellow River basin was easier to cultivate by slash-and-burn, and the so-called slash-and-burn cultivation refers to wooden tools, stone knives or metal tools similar to bronze.

The soil in the Yellow River Basin is mainly silt and silty sand, which is very soft. The soil in the Yangtze River basin is mainly clay, which is dense and difficult to reclaim, and it is difficult to develop on a large scale without iron tools.

However, time has passed, technology has been improving, and China's ironmaking began in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the early Warring States period, China had mastered decarburization and heat treatment technology methods, and invented ductile cast iron. During the Western Han Dynasty, the crucible iron-making method appeared. After the Han Dynasty, the method of steel filling was invented.

Farming technology has been greatly advanced, so now the time is ripe for the development of the Yangtze River Basin, which will surely bring Zhang Fan extraordinary rich returns.

There is another very important reason why Zhang Fan must work hard to reclaim the Yangtze River Basin, that is, he is trying to use the migrants to vigorously promote the tuntian system, so as to dilute the power of the "clan gate valve" in Jiangdong.

The big bureaucrats formed cliques with their protégés and former officials in order to increase their political power. Among the scholars and doctors in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a number of families of successive ministers were formed. These people were the largest landlords, and they held high positions in the world, and their protégés and former officials were all over the world, so they were the leaders of the scholars.

The gate lord clan is a class with a special status that has developed in the middle and long period of the big landlords. The relatives and eunuchs in power must connect with them and deal with them. The power of the gate lord clan in the state and county is more monopolistic, and in fact rules these states and counties.

After that, from the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties...... The rulers of various dynasties and generations, such as Cao Cao, Yang Jian, Liu Yu, etc., have cracked down on those clan lords to varying degrees through various forms, such as the establishment of the National Academy of Studies, the downgrading of the status of the major surnames when compiling the clan chronicles, the imperial examination system, and so on.

Jiangdong is a barren land compared to the Central Plains, and the local "clan gate valves" are inferior in both number and influence, and it is less difficult to choose the south and more convenient to operate, which is the most important factor for Zhang Fan to move from Yanzhou to Yangzhou.

As an ambitious and ambitious person, how could Zhang Fan allow others to share this authority? Naturally, it is necessary to spare no effort to weaken the power of the clan gate lords, and the promotion of the tuntian system by migrating displaced people is only the first step in the grand plan.
