Chapter 257: The demonic Kong Ming
In August, Dong Maru personally led 500 ships, craftsmen and engineers, graduates of Donglai University, and more than 40,000 caravans, bringing enough grain and grass to the north along the Liaoshui, to the west of the Liao River, and to the east of Xianbei.
In September, after Yang Xi attended the wedding of Su Da and Que Ji's daughter, he only led Gao Shun's trap camp and artillery battalion with a total of 6,000 people, and went south by boat with Dong Maru.
The governor of Daxianbei City is Su Da, the leader of the Chenhe Business Alliance, Jian Yan, the commander-in-chief of Xianbei, the deputy commander-in-chief Gan Ning, and the head of the assault regiment You Tu, who led an army of 50,000 and stationed outside the Saiwai.
Yang Xi is leaving, and the army naturally has to be reintegrated, and it happens that the former commander of the assault regiment, Jian Yan, is promoted to commander, Gan Ning is the deputy commander, and You Tu, the former deputy commander of the assault regiment, is the regiment commander.
As for the more than 20,000 people of the Queji tribe, they directly participated in the construction of Daxianbei City, and other small tribes, as well as those who joined the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, were vigorous for a while. At the same time, after the construction of Daxianbei City, Que Ji still had to serve as the director of the Public Security Bureau, after all, he was a Xianbei person, and he managed public security in the early stage, but it was easier for the Hu people to accept.
The army participated in the construction of the city, and more than 100,000 people moved, and Yang Xi believed that before the end of the year, the city of Daxianbei would be completed. As for the construction materials such as cement and steel bars, 500 merchant ships were responsible for transporting them from Liaohe Port, which was an extremely huge project.
Of course, just construction is not enough, Yang Xi also implemented a military camp here.
The Liaohe Plain is low and flat, the altitude is generally below 50 meters, the Daxianbei City is slightly higher in the north, the region belongs to the temperate continental monsoon climate, the winter is cold and dry, the summer is warm and rainy, the rain and heat are at the same time, and the sunshine is sufficient.
Liao River, Taizi River, Hunhe River, Da Ling River, Xiao Ling River, Sha River and other rivers pass through, the water is abundant, this kind of treasure land, is the place that Yang Xi dreamed of, the traffic here is developed in later generations, as the granary.
Yang Xi can't insult the prestige of this place, 50,000 soldiers and horses can be planted with wheat and other crops. Therefore, it was almost winter, but we could only wait for the beginning of spring to plant wheat, and after 50,000 military horses finished building the city, they began to march to the army.
But that's just the beginning.
Yang Xi will continue to transport immigrants, once it is famous, it will also attract Han farmers and refugees from all over the surrounding areas.
Cao Cao returned to the army and went south, full of ambition, since he turned his face with Yang Xi again, and Yang Xi didn't know what method to use, so quickly notified the railway construction personnel to return, and the railway track could not be repaired. But since they don't cooperate, they can continue to reform themselves, and the three counties of Xuzhou will naturally not give it.
This Northern Expedition, driving away Wuhuan and setting Youzhou, had to step back to Shun, and did not have to go out of the three counties of Xuzhou, which can be said to have almost doubled its strength.
Next, it is to adjust the gun head and clean up the high-level cadres who took the opportunity to rebel.
However, it was said that in July, Liu Biao transferred Liu Cong back and led 10,000 troops to guard Xinye.
Liu Bei led 30,000 troops, and Liu Zhang sent 50,000 troops, each agreeing to attack Zhang Lu together.
Liu Bei has the help of the flying ball, Zhuge Liang's strategy, Guan Zhang Zhao's bravery, although the road went south, but it only took a month to kill Yang Bai, the guard of Fangling, and reached Wuling County.
Wuling guard Zhang Wei, the younger brother of Zhang Lu, listened to the advice of Yang Bai's brother Yang Song, and could not defend it.
"Military advisor, our army has been here for more than a month, if Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses take Hanzhong, wouldn't it be a waste of all his previous achievements?" Liu Bei was in a hurry.
It was a hot day in July, and Kong Ming finally shook the feather fan.
"Don't worry, the lord actually wants to go down to Wuling, but it's also simple, Liang doesn't let a few generals attack, that is, he has to wait for Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses. Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses are not much different from Zhang Lu, and the two of them will have a competition. The road to Hanzhong in Shu is difficult, Liu Zhang can not take advantage, at least it is a lose-lose situation, and so the two of them consume for a long time, the lord will take Wuling at that time, and go westward, Hanzhong is the thing in the lord's pocket. ”
Only then did Liu Bei understand that Kong Ming was a strategy, not a tactic.
"Kong Ming is a true god, if you take Wuling at this time, then you can't delay, you can only go west, if you don't enter, Liu Zhang knows my intentions, I will not use force, and the alliance will be dissolved."
Kong Ming said: "I don't know what happened to the Northern Expeditionary Army, Cao Cao and Yang Xi, the two of them look like each other, they should have turned their faces at this moment." ”
"How is that possible? Now that the two have reached an in-depth cooperation, how can they not know the severity, that Xianbei is said to be extremely powerful, if the two turn their faces, won't they return in vain? Liu Bei thought it was impossible.
Kong Ming said with a smile: "If this trip doesn't go well, and you lose twice, you can be sure that you will be able to continue to cooperate." But if the trip goes well, it will be dirty. Yang Xi will not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but Cao Cao is afraid of Yang Xi's development, with this opportunity, Yang Xi is only afraid that there will be no return, even if he can return, he is afraid that it will not be complete. ”
Yang Xi is not an immortal, where can he be all-encompassing, but he doesn't want Zhuge Liang to be sensitive to strategy and not under anyone.
In terms of the Indochina Peninsula, Zhou Yu led the army to take a small land, which was simply easy, and in just over three months, he pacified the Indochina Peninsula and incorporated other regions except the Burmese Plateau into the territory of Jiaozhou.
However, Zhou Yu did not go south, because further south, he would go to Malaysia, he did not want to be an enemy of Yang Xi again, and Malay was now sparsely populated, so it was not worth taking this risk.
Sun Quan got Indochina and learned from Yang Xi, began to build schools, and carried out indoctrination, and his school even began to learn the language and various practical subjects taught by Yang Xi, instead of mainly teaching Confucianism.
In November, Yang Xi went to Shanghai, Zhuge Jin and others came to pick up, and sent news from all parties, Yang Xi browsed one by one, nodding silently.
"Liu Bei took Wuling, got Xicheng, and is heading to Chenggu, it seems that Hanzhong has become Liu Bei's official base."
"Zhou Yuguo lives up to my expectations."
"Yo Xi Yo Xi, the islands of Southeast Asia have been decided, this is what makes me happy, and the population is hundreds of thousands, although I have a small setback here, but it is harmless."
"Huh? Amir built another dockyard and mobilized tens of thousands of people? Build a hundred warships? Are you crazy, can you people eat enough? Sooner or later, you'll starve to death. ”
Amir shipbuilding, its meaning is clear, but this kind of rootless water, Yang Xi is not afraid. This time the shipbuilding, a hundred huge ships, with his ability at this time, at least more than a year.
And Yang Xi has never stopped building ships, and at this moment, I am afraid that another hundred giant warships will be born soon.
As for the manufacture of gunpowder guns, Yang Xi does not want to waste time and resources on this, there is no need to go on the expedition now, the force is enough, and the development of the economy is the key.
Moreover, the contact with Amir has not yet reached the level of a large-scale army, and the sea power is all controlled by the artillery of the warship, and Yang Xi decided to crush it with the warship.
This is a secret arms race, only a strong economy can afford it, and Yang Xi's volume of 10 million agricultural population and millions of industrial population at this time is far from being comparable to the Amir Empire, which has lagged behind for many years.
After sorting out all the news, Yang Xi decided to take a walk in Shanghai.
Today's Shanghai Tang Outer Harbor has some climate, at this time, this beach is different from the Shanghai Beach in later generations, and even the location is different, because after more than 1,000 years of sediment alluvial in the Yangtze River, the beach in the later world has to move out to the sea a lot.
Yang Xi saw that the giant shipwrights of the Shangchen River Chamber of Commerce on the Bund were busy loading and unloading, there were more than a dozen, and hundreds of large and small ships were busy.
Lu Dong and Cen Hang are now thriving, and under the guidance of Yang Xi, they have now established the Eastern Airlines Fishery.
