Chapter 170: Liaodong Human Traffickers

In the autumn of 195 AD, Gongsun Bai completely pacified the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula, as well as the Fuyu Kingdom and the Goguryeo Kingdom. XsHuoTXt has such a vast territory has exceeded many states, Liu Yu asked the imperial court to formally establish Pingzhou, including Liaodong County, Xuansu County, Lelang County, Fuyu State and Goguryeo State, recommended Gongsun Bai as the pastor of Pingzhou, and appointed Tian Yu as the Taishou of Youbeiping County, and appointed Guan Ning as the Taishou of Lelang County.

Later, Gongsun Bai officially appointed Zhang He as the captain of Taiping, Zhao Yun as the captain of the white horse, Tai Shici as the captain of Moyun, Guan Hai as the captain of Moyun Cavalry, Liu Zheng as the captain of the White Horse Cavalry, Gongsun Kang as the governor of Goguryeo County, and Gongsun Gong as the governor of Lelang County.

In this way, Gongsun Bai actually controlled the three counties in one state, but because his seat of governance was in Xiangping, the center of activity was also transferred from Tuyin City to Xiangping City, and the family naturally received Xiangping.

Gongsun Bai, who enjoyed the blessings of the Qi people on the one hand, did not indulge in the gentle township, although the war had subsided, the territory was peaceful, and even the prosperity of Liaodong had not been seen since ancient times, but this was obviously not enough.

In fact, he wanted to send troops to help Gongsun Chan crusade against Yuan Shao together, but the stubborn Gongsun Chan, although the battle with Yuan Shao has gradually been at a disadvantage, especially in the battle for Qingzhou, he was completely at a disadvantage and was driven out of the land of Qingzhou, but he was unwilling to let his baby son, who was thriving in the land of Liaodong and Liaoxi, send troops to help, and refused Gongsun Bai's request to send troops to help him several times.

In desperation, Gongsun Bai had no choice but to consider further developing the economy within his jurisdiction.

Population, the population he needs.

In fact, because a large number of refugees came from Qingzhou across the sea and fled to Liaodong for refuge, the population of Liaodong has surged to 5 to 600,000 people, but this is far from enough.

The Liaodong Peninsula covers more than 50,000 square kilometers, of which 25,000 square kilometers, or more than 30 million mu, is flatland that can be turned into cultivated land, and in addition to the 6 or 7 million mu of land that has been reclaimed, there are also 30 million mu of wasteland. This requires at least two or three million people to cultivate, plus craftsmen and merchants, even four million people are not a problem, you must know that there is still a lot of land to be cultivated in Fuyu and Goguryeo. Even the land of the three counties of western Liaoning is also a large amount of wasteland that has not been cultivated.

At the same time, the Central Plains was in the midst of war, and people fled everywhere, often either dying of military disasters or starvation. If those people can be transferred to Liaodong, it can not only save millions of lives from fire and water, but also develop this Liaodong into the most prosperous place in troubled times, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone.

As long as the economy develops and there is abundant money and food as the backing, the armor system will be upgraded again, and then whether it is compared with money and food or equipment, who will dare to take the lead? With only 100,000 elite soldiers, he has the confidence to sweep the world and be invincible. Don't say anything else. At that time, just fighting a war of attrition will kill any prince in the Central Plains.

Due to the geographical location of Liaodong, if you go from the land, you have to cross the Yiwu Lu Mountain, take the Lulongsai Road, the Wujian Road or the Panhai Road, and then cross the entire Youzhou land to reach Jizhou, and now in the south of Youzhou and Jizhou, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are waging a fierce war, if you want to absorb the refugees from the Central Plains by land, it is obviously unrealistic.

The only way out. It was the sea route, and the people who took refuge in Liaodong came from Donglai to cross the sea, including Bingyuan, Guan Ning, Tai Shici and others.

Right now. Tai Shici entered the house to ask for a meeting, asked for leave to cross the sea to visit relatives in Donglai, and by the way, he took his mother who was far away in Donglai Huang County to Liaodong.

Gongsun Bai's eyes lit up.

I rubbed, why didn't I expect that Tai Shi Ci was from Huang County, Huang County is the closest county in Donglai to the sea and the closest to Liaodong, and Tai Shi Ci's prestige in Donglai. Are you afraid that you won't be able to attract the people of Donglai?

Immediately, he not only agreed to Tai Shici's request, but also specially sent 500 Moyun horsemen to accompany him, escorted by fifty warships, of which twenty were filled with cotton clothes.

**************

Donglai County, Qingzhou, Huang County.

Wang Gong, the county lieutenant, got up early, led dozens of soldiers around the city, and then ordered the soldiers next to him to patrol on their own, and then stopped at a flour shop with two personal soldiers, bought a few flatbreads, and asked for two stews, which were placed in a wooden box on horseback, and then slowly walked out of the city gate with two personal soldiers.

All the way out of the city to the east, walked seven or eight miles, came to a small town called Huangchengji, and then came to a quiet and tidy courtyard in front of the road, which seemed to be familiar with the road.

Wang Gong got off the horse, walked to the firewood in person, knocked lightly, and called out a few "aunts".

I heard a kind voice from the wing room in the courtyard: "Is it Ziqian?" Come on in. ”

Wang Gong motioned for the two soldiers to carry the wooden box and walk into the chamber.

In the wing, there was an old woman with gray hair and a kind face, who smiled when she saw Wang Gong coming, and sighed slightly: "There is Lao Ziqian, who comes to deliver food to the old body every day, and has taken care of the old body for five years." ”

Wang Gong said with a smile: "Ziyi is my brother, and my aunt is my mother, besides, I'm just an errand runner. ”

The old woman sighed again and said: "Kong Beihai and Ziqian are both kind to the old body, if it weren't for the two of them to take care of them, the old body still doesn't know if he can live to this day...... Ziyi, the son of evil, has been gone for five years, and he doesn't know whether he lives or dies. The old man is now close to the age of sixteen, maybe he will go one day, and I don't know if I can still see this evil son......"

At this point, the tone has become very gloomy and desolate.

Wang Gong's expression also darkened, and he comforted: "Aunt don't be sad, I heard that Ziyi is under the command of Gongsun Taishou of Youbeiping County, and sooner or later he will come back to see your old man." ”

The old woman seemed to be sad, her face was full of sorrow, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "There are a lot of rumors about him, some people say that he is in Youbeiping County, some people say that he is in Liaodong, and some people say that he once led the army to recruit Xianbei, but after so many years, there is not even a letter...... I don't know what happened......"

At this moment, a sharp sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard outside the wing, which shook the ground in the room as if it were trembling, and then the neighing of horses was heard outside the courtyard.

"Who ?!!?" Outside the wing, the screams of two pro-soldiers were heard.

Wang Gong's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran out of the room, and was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw that in front of the courtyard, it was densely packed with hundreds of cavalrymen, all of them freshly dressed and angry, holding long knives, especially the horses under the crotch. Each of them was over seven feet five, and his horse, which was less than seven feet, was nothing more than a donkey in comparison. Qingzhou has a shortage of horses, and it is the first time to see so many high-headed horses. Obviously, the person who came was by no means an idle person, not to mention the Huangxian county order in this pomp, even the Taishou of Donglai County couldn't put it out.

In addition to the tall horses, behind these soldiers, there were several carts of baggage. It was full of clothes, as if it were cloth and cloth.

A general in the lead, eight feet tall, wearing a white robe, a black coat, and a sword at his waist, looked majestic, and when he saw Wang Gong, he was about to salute The moment the two looked at each other. Qi Qi recognized the other.

"Ziqian!"

"Ziyi!"

The two of them stepped forward in unison, their hands clasped tightly together, and their expressions were very excited.

"Who's coming...... Who's coming......" A trembling voice came from inside the room.

In an instant, Tai Shici's body was like an electric shock, looking at the trembling figure who walked out of the door with a cane in a daze, his lips trembled slightly, he stared for a few seconds, and finally walked forward, slowly knelt down under the steps, and shouted with a cry: "Mother!" ”

The old woman also looked at him blankly. As if he was afraid of recognizing the wrong person, he reacted after a long time, raised the cane in his hand, and slammed it on his back: "You rebel." I still remember to come back to see my mother, my mother thought it was ......"

She didn't say any more, her face was full of old tears.

*********************

In less than a month after Tai Shici returned to Huang County, a major event occurred in the entire Huang County, which was no less than an earthquake - almost all the people in the entire Huang County ran out.

After Tai Shici met his mother in Huanglongji that day, he immediately distributed cotton clothes to the people who heard the news in the town. At the same time as distributing cotton clothes, Zhongmo Yunqi launched propaganda to the people.

The people of Liaodong can't wear cotton clothes, they can't eat enough food, they go out on horses, and the people of Liaodong don't want to wear such cotton clothes sewn from coarse cloth, so they want to wear cotton clothes sewn by Ayaluo.

Folks, do you want to go to Liaodong?

No boats? Don't worry, the Marquis of Ningxiang will send a large fleet to pick you up across the sea; No food? Don't worry, Ning Xianghou can lend you a year's worth of money and grain, and you only need to repay the original amount after the grain is harvested after the autumn, without any interest; Don't have money to buy farm tools? Don't worry, the Hou of Liaodong will give you credit, and you can pay in installments; No land? There are still 30 million acres of land in Liaodong waiting for you to cultivate, and you must know where the land is very fertile, and one mu of land can produce 200 catties of grain.

As long as you are willing to go to Liaodong, all the Ningxiang Marquis will do it for you, just farm with peace of mind.

Under such a temptation, it was impossible for the people at that time to resist, and besides, they were already so poor that they had almost nothing, and there was nothing to deceive at all, and there was no such thing as a slave trade or human organ trafficking at that time, and there was also a guarantee of Tai Shici's personality charm.

Soon, the people who were allocated cotton clothes spread ten, ten to hundreds, including the county governor Wang Gong also helped to publicize, and soon spread throughout Huang County. On the shore of Penglai Port on the shore of Bohai Bay, countless people gathered on the seaside, scrambling to get on the ship.

By the time the county magistrate of Huang County found out, the 70,000 or 80,000 people in Huang County had already left.

When the county magistrate of Huangxian County was about to send someone to arrest Wang Gong, who was abusive, Wang Gong came to the door with a smile, and he brought a letter of appointment from the Marquis of Ningxiang. Pingzhou is short of county orders, I don't know if you are interested in serving as the county commander of Xi'an Ping?

As soon as the county order of Huangxian County heard it, with this good thing, what am I waiting for? Is it impossible to wait to be a light pole county order in Huang County? So he immediately packed up his finances and joined the ranks of crossing the sea with his whole family.

The dignitaries, big families and businessmen in the county, seeing that even the county order had run away, where they were still sitting, they also rolled up their belongings and followed in the footsteps of the county order, they didn't even need Gongsun Bai's boat, but hired a boat to cross the sea and go to the legendary paradise in Liaodong where people were stupid and had a lot of money and food.

In this way, there were ten rooms and nine emptiness in Huangxian County, and then it quickly spread to the surrounding counties, and Donglai Taishou finally found the signs, and personally led three thousand soldiers and horses to Penglai Port to intercept it, but what was waiting for him was Tai Shici's one thousand Moyun horses.

Three thousand good and bad foot soldiers, against 1,000 elite cavalry, the result can be imagined, in the end, Donglai Taishou had to lead less than 2,000 soldiers and horses to return, no longer dare to mention the conquest, had to ask the officials in the county to restrain and control the people. However, immigration to Liaodong has been out of control, where can it be restrained? The ships crossing the sea did not stop until the winter wind and waves were strong and the wind and snow were approaching.

In two or three months, Donglai County lost more than 100,000 people, almost half of which was gone, many villages became **, and counties like Huangxian County became ghost towns. To be continued.
