"Migrating people from Yuzhou? It's also a way. However, the land of Yuzhou has been implementing the new policy for a while, and it is estimated that these people who have land will not leave lightly. Zhao Xun said softly, "In addition, Yuzhou dealt with a large number of big family gentry a month ago, and there are no longer a few vacant fields. ”

"It's okay to relocate some of them from Quyang City and Huaipu City, after all, the new policies in these places have just begun. When you come to the counties around Huaiyin City, you can get more fields. However, this does not move many people. After all, with the New Deal comes the land, and these people will not leave their familiar homes for the slightest benefit. ”

In addition, this Huaiyin City is located in the easternmost part of Xuzhou, and it is a place prone to war. There was a massacre just now, and it won't be easy to get these people to move here. Zhao Xun said with a hint of concern.

After solving the trouble of the Xuzhou army, Zhao Xun and others began to consider the population problem in Huaiyin City and the surrounding six counties. After a massacre by the Qi army, the land of these six counties can be said to be empty. There was enough space for 300,000 people, but there was a blank.

Although the Qi army only slaughtered the people of the county and did not attack the surrounding towns and villages, the county still occupied the vast majority of the people. What is even more severe is that the burning of the county seat has also made it difficult for some people in towns and villages who rely on the county seat to survive for time.

The people in many towns and villages around the county are providing daily necessities for the residents in the county, and they also rely on it to live. Now, there is no one in the county, and for a while, their lives have become a problem. It's like a biological chain, if one link is broken, the next link of the creature will not be eaten. Of course, this is also short-term. However, for ordinary poor people, short-term lack of livelihood is a mortal threat.

Therefore, there is such a topic. Immediately, Zhao Xun transported materials to settle the people, and at the same time let the people of towns and villages concentrate in the county seat. On the one hand, the government in Yuzhou began to post notices to encourage some people to move into the six counties of Huaiyin City.

In the opinion of Feng Ziming, Wei Dong and others, there is a large amount of land to be distributed in Huaiyin Prefecture, and there are words in advance, under the condition that Huaiyin City can get more fields than in Yuzhou, many people will move here. But the result surprised them. went to the government to report, and there were very few who were ready to move Huaiyin City.

Tong Guò found out that, as Zhao Xun expected, most of these people were reluctant to leave their hometowns and live in other places. Although Huaiyin City will allocate more land, there is also land available in Yuzhou. In addition, if you want more land, you can go and clear it yourself. Of course, most of the land allocated is enough for a family. Like Zhaodi, in the Yanzhou military area, there are more fields, and they also have to pay high taxes.

Another reason is the terrain, this Huaiyin City is the easternmost part of Huaiyin Mansion, and the entire Huaiyin Mansion is the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, that is to say, this Huaiyin Mansion is still the territory of the Xuzhou Army. Although the Yanzhou army is now occupied, this Huaiyin Mansion is surrounded by each other on the north, east, and south, and it is possible to develop a war at any time, and Huaiyin City is especially the worst.

If it is moved to Huaiyin City, once the Xuzhou army comes back, or there is any exchange of interests between the Yanzhou army and the Xuzhou army, then this Huaiyin Mansion will change hands. At the end of the day, there's a good chance you'll get nothing. After all, the Xuzhou Army did not have such a good policy under the Yanzhou Army.

If it's just that, it's still a small problem, and if you accidentally lose your life in the war, it's all over. Even life is a problem, but is it anything else?

Of course, there is another big reason, that is, too many people have died in Huaiyin City, making Huaiyin City almost a dead place. Some people are also reluctant to move to these places.

"No, I was really told by the Lord, the people of Yuzhou are unwilling to come. Now, the number of people in each county is not even 10,000, which is far worse than before. The population of these six counties and counties, at its peak, was nearly 100,000 per county. And Huaiyin City, in the past peacetime, also had hundreds of thousands of people. But now ......," Huaiyin Mansion stabbed Shi Chai Xu and complained bitterly.

Chai Xu was appointed by Zhao Xun to be the assassin of Huaiyin Mansion, and in the land of Youzhou, he was also a capable general, so Zhao Xun transferred him to the Huaiyin Mansion taken from Xuzhou as the assassin. and Li Weizheng, the commander of the Huaiyin Mansion Army and the commander of the Guard Army, cooperated with each other and was responsible for the civil and military affairs of Huaiyin Mansion.

However, there is a lack of population under this rule, and no matter what you do, it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. Not to mention, in Huaiyin City and other counties, it is still a blank land. Even if it's to clean up, it also needs manpower. After all, a soldier is a soldier, and he cannot become a labor force in dealing with the aftermath.

"Yes, there is no one in the six counties now, and the six counties are close to the southeast of Xuzhou. The southeast of Xuzhou is the place where the Xuzhou army gathers, and there is a possibility of war at any time. But it is in these cities that we have no people to live in. In addition, the local county soldiers have now become people's husbands. Li Weizheng, the captain of the government army, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhao Xun and Feng Ziming looked at each other, speechless. The two didn't expect that there would be no one to recruit here now.

Feng Ziming smiled bitterly: "With our policy, we never ask people to come. Now I can't recruit anyone, this is really ......" said, Feng Ziming also shook his head.

Hearing Feng Ziming's words, a flash of light flashed in Zhao Xun's mind, and then he smiled: "We are too stupid and completely ignore our advantages. ”

"Advantages? What are the advantages? My lord, please explain? Feng Ziming, Chai Xu and others asked urgently.

Zhao Xun said lightly: "Ziming also said just now, with our policy, there has always been no shortage of people. And the actual situation is the same, the earlier Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and now Bingzhou and Xiazhou are all like this......" Saying this, he saw Feng Ziming's eyes light up, and he immediately understood that Feng Ziming had already guessed what he wanted to say.

Zhao Xun secretly admired Feng Ziming's quick change of thoughts, and said non-stop: "Why can't we find anyone now?" The reason is that in the past, when we recruited people, we all came from other external state capitals and counties. In other words, the policies of other state capitals and counties are far less good than ours, so they are willing to come for these superior policies. But now, we have conscripted people to move in our lands and moved to war-torn lands, and these people are naturally unwilling. Because, they are already treated equally, unless we implement tough measures. ”

Speaking of this, Chai Xu and Li Weizheng had already understood, and the anxious look on their faces had dissipated. Chai Xu suddenly smiled and said, "Lord, what do you mean, let's absorb the people in Xuzhou." This is a very good idea, and our policy here is much better than it was under the Xuzhou army. In the past, people in Xuzhou often fled to Yanzhou, and it was precisely because of this that Li Chi and the Tang army arrived at us together. Now here, it's even more convenient. ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Yes, we were careless earlier, and we forgot to absorb the people from the outside." If we can let the people of Xuzhou enter us, that is the most beneficial thing. By the way, some time ago, the Qi army was carrying out massacres in Guangling Mansion in the south, causing the people in Guangling Mansion to flee, and we could send people south to attract them to come north to us. ”

"Although the army has stopped killing now, they are plundering the people everywhere and making them outcasts. Thinking about it, he is also trying to create a group of displaced people to increase the pressure on Li Chi. After all, tens of thousands of troops are fighting, and the logistical pressure on the Xuzhou army is also very great. And if we act at this moment, Li Chi must be happy to see it. ”

Chai Xu was overjoyed and said: "Okay, my subordinates will send people south to let these homeless people enter us." I don't believe it, they don't care about our conditions here? ”

"Lord......! News from the South! Just when Zhao Xun and others wanted to attract people to enter the country, a guard hurried in.

"Huh? News from the South? Zhao Xun was slightly stunned. Immediately took the sealed information and opened it to see. After a moment, a smile appeared on Zhao Xun's face.

"Good news, really good news, our brothers in the south have taken over the whole of Qiongzhou Island. Today, this Qiongzhou Island is already a base in the south of our navy. In addition, it is also the rear support base of the Jiaozhou operation team. ”

"In addition, we have also brought over a third of the Yangzhou Navy. At this time, the strength of our Dazhao Navy, whether in terms of ships or soldiers, is already twice that of the Yangzhou Navy. As he spoke, he laughed and handed the information in his hand to the three people beside him.

Feng Ziming was the first to see it, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said, "For us, this is really the best news. The weakening of the Yangzhou Navy and the strengthening of our Dazhao Navy are more important to the overall situation than our occupation of Yuzhou. ”

"Yes, now we already have the First and Second Fleets, let's mix them now, split them again, form the Third Fleet, and station them on Qiongzhou Island. I think, not to mention that Murong Cheng hasn't gotten the news yet, and he hasn't gone back. is to get the news and return to Yangzhou, but I am afraid that I will not dare to provoke Zhao Jun again. Not to mention that the navy he has now is far from being our opponent. ”

Feng Ziming nodded and said: "Judging from this detailed information, the Yangzhou Navy has obtained Murong Cheng's current situation, and it seems that these navies are no longer optimistic about this King of Qi." Otherwise, we would not have cut off a third of its fleet lightly as soon as our men were co-opted. That's hundreds of warships, and there are more than 30,000 soldiers. Plus auxiliaries. There were 50,000 soldiers. What's even stricter is that many non-commissioned officers and auxiliaries left from the harbor, but the non-commissioned officers of the Yangzhou Navy did not stop them. This shows that they no longer dare to do anything to my Da Zhao Navy. ”

Chai Xu said proudly: "In recent years, my Dazhao Navy has been expanding, while the Yangzhou Navy has stagnated. Between advance and retreat, the strength is turned upside down. At the beginning, many warships of the Youzhou Navy, that is, the First Fleet, have been replaced, and those that are old, slow, and have a small load, which are not conducive to naval warfare, have been replaced. It can be said that at present, our Da Zhao's naval fleet has far surpassed the Yangzhou Navy. Even the maritime merchants who go to Yizhou to trade must also hang the banner of my Great Zhao, otherwise, they will all be detained. This Yangzhou Navy naturally does not dare to provoke us lightly. ”

Feng Ziming and Li Wei have been arriving in Yanzhou for a long time, and they don't know much about the situation in Zhao, while Chai Xu is the elite of the Zhao army, and he can be transferred to an important place like Huaiyin Mansion, so he naturally knows more about Zhao and the war. Therefore, Chai Xu was able to explain the situation of the navy very clearly, but Feng Ziming and Li Weizheng were taken aback when they heard it.

What does it mean to receive maritime merchants who go to Yizhou to trade? This means that Da Zhao's navy has already begun to collect commercial taxes on Yizhou. In other words, in a sense, Da Zhao already had the ability to enter Yizhou, and he also exercised some kind of dominant power over Yizhou at a certain time.

"Lord, is this true?" As a soldier, Li Weizheng naturally looked excited.

Zhao Xun nodded and said lightly: "It's true!" After all, we have not stopped the development of the Navy for several years. The land of Liaozhou, however, has always been providing timber for the navy. After such a long time, our navy is no longer what it used to be. However, if we can take over one-third of the Yangzhou Navy this time, it can be said that in terms of quantity, we are already more than twice or even three times the current Yangzhou Navy. ”

"This time, the Third Fleet will be formed and stationed on Qiongzhou Island, and in the future, the entire eastern region of Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, and Jiaozhou will be the attack site of our Dazhao Navy. In the future, our Dazhao Navy will appear in various sea areas. Zhao Xun said with a heavy face.

For Zhao Xun, who has another memory, he naturally understands the benefits of the navy. Naturally, I also know how big the world is under the whole blue sky. I also know that there was once a small country that occupied almost a quarter of the world's area by splicing the navy into four places.

Far away, let's just say that now, the powerful Dazhao Navy appeared in Yizhou, that is, the Japanese island, at first the local forces of Yizhou were not convinced, and under the strong blow of the Dazhao Navy, the warships of the local forces were destroyed. Repeated wars, repeated defeats. Until almost all the battleships of Yizhou were destroyed, until the Great Zhao Navy landed on the land of Yizhou.

Although this Yizhou was occupied by the Chu State in the previous dynasty and divided into the princes of Chu, its military strength and some basic levels were far weaker than those of the local dynasty. Therefore, after the landing of the Dazhao naval fleet, after the appearance of the earth-shaking thunder several times, the forces on Kyushu Island, the westernmost part of Yizhou, were basically attached to Dazhao. And the other princes of the three islands, after the defeat of the naval army, did not dare to have any dissatisfaction with the dispatch of the navy by Great Zhao to collect taxes.

It was also because of this that Zhao Xun officially began to colonize Yizhou. The first target was the island of Kyushu in Yizhou, and now, Da Zhao has transported a team of 10,000 people with guò warships, stationed on Kyushu Island, and forcibly purchased a large piece of territory from the eastern princes of Kyushu Island at a low price, as a temporary station, and also as an escort for the caravan.

"My lord, this report also said that there are more than 50,000 personnel in this one-third of the naval fleet, and their families have also asked to leave Yangzhou, which is waiting to be disposed of. Now, when how to place? Will it lead to obstruction? It seems that Chai Xu, who is playing the report, asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "It's okay, since the commander of the Yangzhou Navy didn't stop him, let's just say that he is not optimistic about Murong Cheng, and besides, he doesn't dare to surrender to us to stop these people." What's more, this Yangzhou Navy commander is afraid that he also has other thoughts. But no matter what, the people of the Yangzhou Navy did not dare to stop it. So, who would dare to stop tens of thousands of navy dependents from leaving the coastal areas in the southwest of Yangzhou now? ”

In this way, I will reply to them in a while, and let them move their families away from Yangzhou. After all, Yangzhou is already in the midst of war. First of all, they will be placed on the island of Doqiongzhou, and after the three fleets are completed, they will be settled with them according to the station. ”

"If Li Chi learns that by his side, Zhao Junbing has taken down a third of the naval fleet without blood, I don't know if he will be angry and scolding loudly." Feng Ziming said with a smile.

"Definitely, think about it, the Xuzhou army is desperately fighting, and it is still fighting with the Yangzhou army for Yangzhou Prefectures. And Zhao Jun didn't do anything, just thousands of miles away, took tens of thousands of soldiers and more than 100 warships, how can it not make people angry? Chai Xu responded with a laugh.

Li Weizheng continued: "That's right, we began to absorb the people of Xuzhou. Although Li Chi won't say much about us accepting some of the displaced people in Guangling Mansion, his heart is definitely desolate and painful. ”

As the news spread from Huaiyin Mansion, people began to enter the Guangling Mansion in the south, Juling Mansion in the east, and Chuzhou Mansion in the north. Although Guangling Mansion is the closest to Huaiyin City, it is most suitable to move over. However, the Yanzhou army in Huaiyin Province would never refuse the entry of ordinary people. In short, no matter which direction you come from, the government of Huaiyin Mansion is welcome.

Seeing this situation, in addition to Guangling Mansion, the official governments of Juling Mansion and Chuzhou Mansion were extremely annoyed. In the past, the Xuzhou Army and the Tang Army allied forces to arrive/control the Yanzhou Army, for what? Isn't it because the policy of the Yanzhou Army has attracted the people in its own territory to flee to Yanzhou one after another? Now it's good, it's here again.

However, it is not as good now as it was then. Now most of the Xuzhou army is in the south, fighting with the Qi army. The defenders in the various cities were either new or under-defended. Therefore, there is nothing they can do about this situation. Zhihao sent people to Yanzhou to complain to the Yanzhou army. However, will the Yanzhou Army pay attention to them?

With the passage of time, the number of people in the six counties of Huaiyin Prefecture gradually increased. The government also began to get busy, and the ruins of the former county seat were gradually cleared out and new buildings were built.
