In less than half a month, the Han army launched a winter offensive, with seven South Vietnamese barbarians and 50,000 Yelang barbarians as the main backbone to drive and plunder the Luo Yue barbarians, and the sweeping sites not only involved the gathering area of Luo Yue in Xiou, but also the important banana forests and grapefruit forests were also controlled by 6 sustained, and the Luo Yue barbarians, who had lost their main food source, were forced to turn to the vast jungle.

Zhao Sui, the southern governor, was greatly boosted, and successively pulled out dozens of settlements of the dragon weaving, and the Luo Yue barbarians who had no time to escape were captured, and they were organized as slaves to fight with the army, and they were captured to more of the same clan to be eligible for freedom, slavery is a very normal thing in the eyes of the barbarians, and the South Vietnamese often captured the Luo Yue barbarians as slaves, and the Luo Yue people captured the occupants as slaves, and the ecological chain lasted for thousands of years.

The Han army ordered the establishment of settlements in various barbarian settlements, with the reinforced barracks as the core, and the migrating South Vietnamese people cut down trees and opened up wasteland, digging pits and filling fertilizer.

Reclamation starts from the beginning of winter, South Vietnam's advantage is that the land is abundant, the land is fertile, there is no shortage of water and fertilizer, but there is no shortage of fertilizer, but it is necessary to worry about the rotten fertilizer to produce a poisonous miasma, relying on the fertile land to plant three crops of rice is the best choice.

Winters in South Vietnam are exceptionally short, and it doesn't take long for spring to bloom.

There are Han soldiers gathered in front of the land reclaimed outside the city of Panyu, the South Vietnamese are planting rice in the paddy fields, the rice of Zhancheng is not a new thing, the rice seeds taken from the city of Zhancheng in the past few years have attracted the attention of the king of Nanyue, but the effect of planting a few stubbles is very poor, the South Vietnamese people who are not good at farming can only stare dryly, the slaves of the Zhan people do not understand the language, and the farming is also how much rice grows from the sowing of rice, and it is not enough to think about the way.

The Yue people like farming, but they are not good at farming, and the Han people also like farming. The Han Chinese are very good at farming.

In the Shennong era, the Han people would grow rice, and the rice grown was the main food of the Chu people. It was only as the Chu State expanded northward into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the difference in climate made rice lose its invincible advantage. Rice provides far less nutrients than corn, and eating rice consumes 50% more grain than corn, so rice has never been a climate in the north.

In addition, the rice breeding in Chu was poor, the rice yield was always not high, and the two-crop rice was only slightly higher than that of corn and soybean rotation, and the peasants still suffered a slight loss when they carefully calculated, and the superposition of various factors further weakened the dominant position of rice, and eating rice in the south was a last resort. It's the same as eating wheat in the north.

Half of the southern army was made up of southern Chu people, and everyone was good at planting rice, and it was easy to command the South Vietnamese people to grow rice.

Cao Shi walked among the ridges, and several staff members followed behind him to make records at any time, and the transformation of South Vietnam could not be achieved overnight, and he had to remember every shining point in his head.

At noon, he did not return to the city to rest, and had a light meal in the temporary camp of the Han army.

The staff members were worried: "It is not good for the Che cavalry general to teach the Yue people to grow grain, in case the Yue people learn to farm, their strength will increase greatly and they will raise troops to rebel." We can't hold it back. ”

"What kind of enemy do you think the Han army is afraid of?"

"The Huns."

"Why are you afraid of the Huns?"

"Coming and going like the wind, I can't catch a figure when I am ghostly."

"So, the South Vietnamese went into the mountains. Just like Luo Yue is cunning, what should we do? Slowly tightening the pockets of slavery takes a long time, requires a lot of investment, and has a slow effect. It will take at least five or even ten years to completely subdue Luo Yue. If all the South Vietnamese people run into the mountains, how can we stand firm in the land of South Vietnam? How many troops do you have to put into suppression? ”

The staff were stunned.

It stands to reason that the South Vietnamese are off-road barbaric. The more beneficial it is to the Han family, but civilization is not progressive, today's barbarians do not mean that a hundred years later, a thousand years will still be barbarians, the reason why people are people, because of their strong learning ability, the Xianbei people who drill the woods can dominate the world, and the cautious savages will also become Jurchens, still holding stubborn obsessions and resting on their laurels, which will only harm the Han Dynasty.

Cao Shi patiently explained: "I can't guarantee that every tribe will always be barbaric, maybe a strong tribe will come out of a few hundred years, in order to ensure that the interests of the Han family are not lost, and maintain the control of South Vietnam for a long time, it is necessary to promote the local Sinicization, not only to assimilate the Yue people culturally, but also to comprehensively transform the farming habits, and strengthen the sense of identity through guò with the same food and clothing as a family, without two generations they are Han people, and from then on there is no title of Yue people in the world, just like the disappeared Chu people and Qin people." ”

In the afternoon, Zhuang Qingzhai's army returned triumphantly.

The war of Minyue lasted for two months, 50,000 Minyue troops stood in the city and stubbornly resisted, and resolutely did not bow their heads in the face of the pressure of 60,000 Han troops, until the news of the destruction of South Vietnam came, Dongou and the addition of South Vietnamese reinforcements destroyed the spirit of Minyue people, and the collapsed Minyue army was not the opponent of the Han army at all.

At the critical moment, the captives who were tied up in the Nanyue Kingdom, the Nanyue Crown Prince Su Chou persuaded him to surrender outside the royal capital, and the Minyue King Su Ying had a mental breakdown and personally opened the city and surrendered, counting the Dongou King Su Zhenfu took the initiative to ask for internal attachment, and the Nanyue King Zhao Yuan was captured, and Sanyue was completely included in the territory of the Han Empire.

The great hero waved his division back, and there was a feast in Panyu City for three days.

The spoils of war between South Vietnam and Minyue are still being transported, and it is said that there are considerable reserves of gold and silver, perhaps on the coast of the South China Sea, where there are many rhino horns, ivory and pearls in South Vietnam and Minyue, and Asian elephant herds can be seen everywhere in Lingnan, and the South Vietnamese will regularly hunt elephant herds to ensure that elephants do not destroy crops during estrus, as well as important banana and grapefruit forests.

In the Three Kingdoms, only Dongou survived, and Su Zhenfu was attached to the house in exchange for the interests of Dongou not to be plundered, but the Han army did not care about Dongou for small profits, and the big heads of Sanyue were Nanyue and Minyue.

"The news from Shuzhong, the king of Dian invited the southwest Yi tribes to Kunming seems to have a change, what do you think?"

Cao Shi handed the information to Zhuang Qingzhai, who took the information and did not speak, and the Han generals sitting with him looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Fought for more than half a year, although it was not fierce but it was difficult to fight, the Yue people like to drill into the woods, the threat of poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains and forests is secondary, the poisonous miasma and the quagmire are simply the nightmare of the Han army, and there is often a team of inexplicable disappearances. Either they will be poisoned, or they will fall into the mire and be wiped out. Non-combat attrition is the biggest injury, and the Han army is under tremendous mental tension and pressure all day long. Everyone is physically and mentally exhausted at this point, and it is very difficult to fight the Southwest Yi again.

"I don't build yì to move troops."

"Me too."

"At least three months of rest, I heard that the situation in Nanyi is worse than in Nanyue, where there are many poisonous miasma and mires, we should be cautious."

Zhuang Qingzhai said: "There is another point, the service period of the Southern Army is almost time, and the rules of the county soldiers changing once a year are only special cases for war preparation and wartime. When the imperial envoy arrives, he can explain the matter, and the next batch of southern army recruits will be directly selected to Chang'an, and this batch of southern army will be disbanded on the spot after Wuling. ”

The generals nodded one after another, the system of the Han army is similar to the compulsory military system, each male has two years of compulsory military service in his life, one year in the local county national soldier, one year in Chang'an City to be selected into the Northern and Southern Army, in addition to 3 days a year to guard the border county, you can pay taxes to buy 3 days of border service. This is part of the more endowment, of course, the price is quite expensive, the court will give part of the more endowment to the poor county soldiers, let them continue to defend for someone for 3 days.

Some county soldiers have been defending for decades. Fixed for more than 100 people to serve as border soldiers, of course, they can also earn a lot of money, at least on the basis that the system in the early Han Dynasty did not collapse. Soldiers who are willing to serve for others can earn 30,000 yuan a year.

Going out to fight is different from being more endowed, and there is no extra money to be made. Only by relying on the rewards and gifts of war to obtain the qualification to enter the knighthood, just like the soldiers of the Southern Army from the destruction of Yelang Kingdom last year to the destruction of South Vietnam and Minyue this year. So far, all the soldiers participating in the war have basically entered the fifth level of the knight, and the lowest O-level public soldier has also become a fifth-level doctor, as for the grant of land, it is not difficult to solve, most of the wasteland in the area from Changsha to Yuzhang County can be given, and the imperial court is making proper arrangements.

"The war is to make money, if you can be added to the ranks, it's no problem to continue to fight for three years, don't complain about suffering and suffering, of course, I won't force the Southern Army to do what you don't want to do, a few years ago, there were 400,000 prisoners in Kanto, plus there were hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Kanto, and you can form a crusade army at any time."

Zhuang Qingzhai was silent, everyone wanted to make money from the war, and there were new changes to Luo Yue's war, Luo Yue's settlement was not only in the Longbian Impact Plain, but also the vast jungle was Luo Yue's main residential area, where there was not much arable land available, and it became very difficult to remember the merits and get rewards.

Cao Shi understood the new system according to the situation, and informed all the Han troops who participated in the war, whether it was the Nanyue people or the Yelang people, one-third of the treasures plundered by the Nanyue people belonged to the individual, and the other two-thirds belonged to the imperial court.

The morale of Luo Yue and the slave army of Zhanren is extremely high, and there are dozens of skirmishes almost every day, and it is really difficult to say how many Southern troops are willing to leave.

During the recuperation period, Cao Shi transferred the Yulin cavalry back to Bashu, and brought 15,000 people back to less than 1,000 people, and the loss of one-fifteenth was almost the overall situation of the Han army, 2o people who went south died almost 13,000 people, wounded 30,000 Vietnamese soldiers, and killed 10,000 people, the main loss was the attack of poisonous miasma swamps and poisonous insects and beasts, and the poisonous snakes and poisonous spiders in the jungle of South Vietnam were very powerful, and the slightest carelessness would kill people.

By the beginning of March, the climate in South Vietnam was already very hot, and the imperial envoys were late.

Zhuang Zhu took a boat from Qi and came to Panyu along the coastline all the way, and sweated in the heat of South Vietnam.

When he saw Cao, he was not polite, and took a cold drink and drank it cleanly: "I haven't seen you for half a year, my skin has tanned a lot, and the general has worked hard!" ”

"It's not too hard to serve the country, is the situation in the court okay? If you are not in the court for half a year, you are about to lose touch. ”

Zhuang Zhu hesitated and said: "In the first winter of the month before I came out, His Majesty removed Xuchang from the prime minister, appointed Dou Ying as the prime minister, Tingwei Tian Wei as the Tai Lieutenant, Gaihou Wang Xinqian Danong Ling, Zhouyang Hou Tian Sheng moved Tingwei, and Dong Zhongshu and Gongsun Hong were edicted for Jinmamen. ”

"What a change!"

"Yes! The Queen Mother promoted her relatives vigorously, and it was rumored that the Queen Mother would be the second Empress Dowager Dou. ”

Cao Shi nodded silently.

His mother-in-law is not a good person, maybe she really has the intention to be the second Empress Dowager Dou.

Zhuang Zhu said: "I also want to congratulate the general of the Che Cai, your great achievements have spread to the government and the opposition, the Son of Heaven specially ordered the Che Cavalry General Cao Shi and the Wei Wei Zhuang Qingzhai to return to the court, and the Southern Army will be reorganized on the spot and wait for the next specific arrangement, and send 300,000 households from Jingman to the south, and migrate to Dongou and Minyue 200,000 households to attach, and there will be no mistake in implementing it immediately from now on!" The general can pack his luggage and escort the king of Nanyue and the king of Minyue back to Chang'an with the king of Dongou and the guard. (To be continued!)

ps: I was wrong, I was really wrong, I was depressed in the last few days, the volume of Nanyue has been reduced again and again, and the subscription still keeps dropping, I don't write about Nanyue anymore, let's write about fighting the Huns, and write the main line of the Han Empire? Don't drop it, thank you!
