Chapter 867: A Small Barbarian Country
However, even so, Zhang Song still had some doubts in his heart.
When the matter was settled, Zhang Song raised his fist at Kou Feng and said: "Your Majesty, the rest of the ministers have no doubts, but this migration of 100,000 people, the ministers are really worried in their hearts. β
Zhang Song sighed: "The homeland is hard to leave. One hundred thousand is so great. β
Zhang Song's time in Chu was still short, and although he knew that Kou Feng had a prestige among Jing and Chu, he still felt worried.
"Hehe, this Zi Qiao doesn't need to worry. At the beginning, with only a few counties, Gu was able to cross the Yangtze River and get hundreds of thousands of people to Taiwan. Now it has Wu Chu. There's no need to worry. Kou Feng laughed when he heard this, very confident.
Let's not mention the things of the past, those people in the past were forcibly captured by Kou Feng, and the people really had no body to resist. And now, Kou Feng's prestige between Jing and Chu is overwhelming.
Especially in Changsha, Jiangxia and Jiujiang, the sky is in full swing.
If Kou Feng needs to recruit 100,000 people, join the army to fight. It will definitely follow the clouds. And now Kou Feng doesn't want war, but wants to transfer 100,000 people to Yanzhou and expand the population.
Although it was a little colder on Han's side, it was also a black land. It is a great opportunity for 100,000 people to enter. If you can be diligent, you may not be able to become a new local powerhouse.
As long as Kou Feng publishes the list, it is directly clear that there are countless lands over there.
Some of the poorer people will join in. The reason why people in ancient times did not want to emigrate.
It is difficult to leave the homeland, and secondly, it is not enough to have confidence in the ruler. Everyone knows that the side plug is bitter cold. But this difficulty is useless for Kou Feng.
Because of Kou Feng's prestige, because of Kou Feng's tall image in the hearts of the people of Chu State. He Yanzhou has abundant land and great opportunities.
The common people will believe it.
If it is the sincerity of the list, even if it is difficult to leave the homeland, the common people will contribute to the strength of the Chu State. Thus choosing to immigrate.
In other places, such as Cao Cao, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, if you want to use gentle means to immigrate 100,000, it is very difficult.
But for Chu State, it was easy.
Kou Feng's words, Kou Feng's expression. They are all full of fanatical confidence in the Chu State they have created. This kind of self-confidence, even a little conceited.
Kou Feng's self-confidence infected Zhang Song.
Zhang Song couldn't help but think of the time when Kou Feng couldn't make it possible, and used Taiwan as an overseas base, immigrating hundreds of thousands of immigrants and stationing 20,000 soldiers.
This strange army not only maintained the peace of the Chu State and Gongsun Kang in maritime trade. Later, when Wu Chu fought for hegemony, this strange army also expounded an unimaginable role.
It was precisely because of Fangdao's surprise attack on Wu County that it led to the complete collapse of Jiangdong.
At the beginning, with such a weak national strength of the Chu State, Kou Feng was able to successfully emigrate hundreds of thousands, and now with such a powerful Chu State, he has emigrated 100,000.
Thinking like this, Zhang Song felt that he was indeed worrying about the sky.
Swallow State.
A very important strategic chess piece, a nail, for the Chu State was planted near Youzhou. With Kou Feng so determined now.
This nail is bound to play an extremely important role in the future.
After a few breaths, Zhang Song's heart no longer had doubts. Only full of firmness remained, following in the footsteps of Chu Jun Koufeng, that's right.
At the same time that Kou Feng and Zhang Song were discussing the affairs of Yanzhou, Meng Shu's envoys also reached the capital of Chengguo. Shu County Taishou Zheng Du was in charge of the reception.
This envoy is the envoy of Meng Shu, not the envoy of Nanzhong Haoqiang Yongyue. Therefore, the composition is all Southern Barbarians. These Southern Barbarians are dressed in strange costumes and exude a strong exotic atmosphere
Chengguo is the center of Shuzhong. Most of the people gathered were Han Chinese. Now the envoys of the southern barbarians are abruptly presented, which really makes passers-by stop.
However, most of the people who stopped there did not look at them with curious eyes, but with hateful and disgusted looks. Nanban and Shuzhong are generations of enemies.
In particular, Meng Huo colluded with Yongyue and others, the Han people's surname in Nanzhong, which made the situation in Nanzhong even more unstable. From time to time, news of the southern barbarians plundering the border cities reached the north.
How can you not hate the common people in Shu?
Among the envoys, the leader was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Meng Shu. It is Meng Huo's brother, Meng You.
"It's Meng You below, I don't know who Mr. is under the account of Duke Chu?" Near the city gate, Meng You and Zheng Du faced each other. Meng You saluted Zheng Du.
Very polite look.
"Under the account of the Duke of Chu, Shu County is too shou Zheng Du." Zheng Du is also very personable.
However, his eyes were looking at Meng You slightly, the last time Zheng Du was sent to Nanzhong. I have seen Yong, the head of the Nanzhong surname, but I have never seen Meng Huo, the leader of the Nanban.
Zheng Du had some regrets in his heart, and now that he saw Meng You, he made up for this regret.
However, Zheng Du's heart soon became vigilant. Because Meng You is not only very polite in his words, but also very polite in his eyes.
It seems to be very cultured.
A Southern barbarian, polite. It's a weird thing. If you use one sentence to describe Zheng Du's mood at the moment, it is a hooligan who suddenly has culture.
It's terrible.
The Southern Barbarians have always been barbarians, and Meng You's demeanor proves that the Southern Barbarians are absorbing the civilization of the Han people and growing up their own civilization.
How does this not make Zheng Du vigilant?
"It turned out to be Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng's name is well-known in Shuzhong, and even the prestige of Mr. Nanzhong is thunderous. It's a blessing to see you today. Although Meng You didn't know what Zheng Du was thinking at this moment, he smiled and said politely.
"The strong man is polite." The so-called smiling person, Zheng Du saw that Meng You was so polite, and he could also compliment a few words, even if he was vigilant in his heart, he was very polite on his face.
Immediately, the two exchanged a few words outside the city gate.
Meng You opened his mouth and said tentatively: "Brother is in Nanzhong and heard that Chu is fair and settled in Shuzhong, and he is specially sent to come down to congratulate, I don't know sir?" β
Finally showed the fox's tail.
Zheng Du said with a little disdain in his heart. The so-called barbarian is barbaric, vulgar is vulgar, maybe you can pretend to be polite, but the quality is still the kind of straightforward.
The envoys of the kingdom of Lang begged to see the king of the kingdom of Dalang. It's very skillful, at least not to come out directly. According to the general law, the king of the kingdom of Dalu summons him whenever he summons him.
It is very rare for Meng You to ask questions directly.
Just at Meng You's question, the ordinary people were secretly annoyed in their hearts. I, the monarch of Chu State, can I see it? Anyway, you have to dry it for a few days.
According to Zheng Du's thoughts, it should also be dried for a few days.
However, Zheng Du knew that Kou Feng was the kind of person who didn't pay attention to face and only paid attention to efficiency. Now that Meng Huo's envoy has arrived, Kou Feng can't be seen.
Therefore, although Zheng Du was a little annoyed and a little disdainful in his heart. But he still smiled and said: "Duke Chu happens to be in Beppu at the moment, and the envoy comes with me." β
Zheng Du stretched out his right hand slightly. Immediately, he took a few steps and got into the carriage. I didn't invite Meng You to sit with me.
Meng You is also coarse, and he doesn't know what is wrong with it. He saw Zheng Du get into the carriage, and he also greeted his entourage, straddled the war horse, and followed Zheng Du into the city.
Chengdu. This is the largest and most wealthy city in Shu. That kind of wealth, the pomp of wealth. It almost made Meng You unable to take his eyes off.
Earnestness is a good city, if our clan can entrench in such a city. Why should you be afraid of Kou Feng? Subject to Yongyue?
Nanban has a city. However, compared to Chengdu in front of you, it is like the difference between the city and the countryside.
Seeing such a rich city with his own eyes, Meng You's heart was full of greed. This is the reason why the hearts of those who are not of my race will be different.
Although Meng Shu and Yongyue are called brothers, they are even faintly headed by Yongyu. But that's because Yongyue's power in Nanzhong is strong, and the various resources and prestige he controls are so strong.
It is stronger than the innocent Meng Shu, who only has 80,000 barbarian soldiers. Meng Huo couldn't help but hang his head, but the Meng Huo brothers never thought of surrendering to Yongyue in their lives.
They wanted to grow up their clansmen, rule Nanzhong, and bring the Han people under their empire.
This was the ambition in Meng You's heart before. But at this moment, bewildered by the wealth of Chengdu, Meng You's heart suddenly became ambitious, and he felt that if he could annex such a city, it would be truly brilliant.
On the carriage, Zheng Jiao looked back. Seeing Meng You's eyes shining with a strange light, it seemed that all his mind was attracted by the wealth in front of him...... "I couldn't help but sigh slightly, if this wolf is not removed, can Shuzhong Lu'an be stable?"
Even in huge cities, there are days when they run out. Soon, the pedestrians walked several miles and came to the gate of Beppu, the Duke of Chu, located in the center of the capital of Chengdu.
The gate is vermilion, open outward. In front of the door, there were twenty ironclad soldiers with bright armor, all waist-length straddling Chu swords. Among them were men carrying bows and arrows, quivers.
They are like hunters in the forest, their eyes full of vigilance and alertness. It smells like a hunter. A little bloody, a little brutal.
Meng You is not a mansion without a big family, and there are not a few guards outside the mansion gate. Just like Yongyue's home, there are enough guards outside the door.
But he has never enjoyed this kind of treatment, and the guards outside the mansions of the nobles are all arranged. Strong is strong, but not very imposing.
However, the soldiers of this detachment made Meng You's entire hair stand on end.
The soldiers of this detachment are the guards who serve as a faΓ§ade, and they are not as good as the marching soldiers, as the most elite and close combat force around the commander.
Cross-knife, back leading. It's a fighting formation.
If someone comes to commit an offense, ten people will fight, and one person will shoot them.
Meng You's impression of Kou Feng was limited to Kou Feng being a prince among the Han people, but his power was much greater than Liu Zhang's. Because Liu Zhang is weak, in his bones, Meng You doesn't look down on Kou Feng very much.
But today, outside Beppu in Koufeng, I encountered such a strong guard. made Meng You's heart immediately have a little awe of Kou Feng.
Even, at this threshold, Meng You stepped into it a little wandering.
The guards placed outside the door are so imposing and murderous. Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?
Meng You remembered an allusion among the Han people
