________________________________ Chu is more exciting with you
At noon, Xiang Zhuang entered the boundary of Shanyin County under the escort of five hundred personal horses, and the new Huiji County Guard and the county lieutenant Ji Xin led the people to go north eighty miles to meet him, Ji Xin is Ji Bu's brother, and he is also the general of the Chu army, and he can barely be regarded as a descendant of Xiang Zhuang, so he was entrusted by Xiang Zhuang to the important position of Huiji County Lieutenant.
In order to get the support of the old Chu clan, Jiangbei Shi clan and Jiangdong clan, Xiang Zhuang had to compromise politically and give up the positions of the three major county guards and most of the county commanders and county magistrates.
The county lieutenant is in charge of the garrison of a county, and Xiang Zhuang is not at ease to hand over the military power to others.
At this point, the Shi clan, the Shi clan and the clan did not insist too much, because they also knew very well that Xiang Zhuang, as the king of the Great Chu State, would never let the local military power fall into the hands of others, and the only thing their clan, Shi clan and clan could fight for was the governance of the local counties and counties.
Today's Jiangdong seems to be calm, but in fact, there are many problems.
However, after going through many things, Xiang Zhuang has fully matured politically, so he has not lost his way in the face of the intricacies of politics.
Xiang Zhuang knew very well that there were only two urgent tasks in front of him, one was government affairs and the other was military affairs, the government affairs were to register the number of households in the three counties of Jiangdong, and to conduct a systematic inventory of the national strength and manpower of the Chu State, and the military affairs were to carry out the umbrella reorganization of Xiang Tuo, the remnants of Xiang Guan, the garrisons of each county, and the clan armed forces.
Xiang Zhuang came to Shanyin this time to comprehensively reorganize the clan armed forces in the fifteen counties of Shanyin.
For Da Chu, these clan forces are definitely a big hidden danger, and at present, these clan forces have succumbed to the feet of Xiang Zhuang because of the leaderless dragons, but once external forces intervene, whether they will be as honest as they are now, that is unknown, so these hidden dangers must be solved as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when external forces intervene on a large scale, these clan forces are likely to make waves from it, and when the time comes, the Chu army will be in internal and external difficulties, and the situation will be quite passive.
After the ceremony, Xiang Zhuang invited Ji Xin to his carriage, Xiang Zhuang's favor made Ji Xin very flattered, you need to know that the current Xiang Zhuang is no longer the general of the Western Chu State, but the king of the Great Chu State, for Ji Xin's favor, Wu Qi, who accompanied him, was disdainful and jealous.
"Ji Xin, it's been more than half a month since you arrived, how do you feel?"
Under the forced gaze of Xiang Zhuang's tiger eyes, Ji Xin was a little afraid to face it, now Xiang Zhuang is becoming more and more powerful, except for a very few cronies and generals such as Gao Chu and Xiao Kai, others don't even dare to breathe in front of him, Ji Xin is Ji Bu's younger brother, and he is already Xiang Zhuang's descendant, but in front of Xiang Zhuang, he is still trembling and walking on thin ice.
"Great King, Huiji County has jurisdiction over fifteen counties such as Shanyin, Zhuji, Juzhang, and Pixian, each county has clan arms, the small clan forces are only one hundred and ten people, and the large ones have hundreds or even thousands of people, and many clans are in-laws and clansmen with each other, and the relationship is intertwined and very complicated, and it is difficult to deal with it." Speaking of business, Ji Xin immediately became calm, no longer as restrained as he was just now.
Xiang Zhuang bowed his head slightly, this situation was already expected by him, if the clan armed forces in Huiji County were easy to clean up, he didn't have to go on this trip in person, just send a general to preside over the overall situation, and then Xiang Zhuang said: "Do you estimate how many clan armed forces there are in Huiji County, and how many people are there in total?" โโฆ,
Ji Xin said: "Since taking office, the minister has traveled all over the six northern counties of Huiji County, and the clan armed forces in these six counties have one hundred and sixty large and small, all of which add up, about 20,000 people, as for the nine counties in the south, due to the high mountains and long roads, the minister has not had time to make an unannounced visit, but the minister heard such a statement. โ
Xiang Zhuang touched the beard that curled up at the corner of his lips and said, "What do you say?" โ
Ji Xin said: "The minister is also hearsay, I don't know if it's true or not, when I secretly visited a small county called Ke, the minister heard such a saying in the local area, saying that although the population of the southern nine counties is small, the number of clan armed forces is far more than that of the northern six counties, and the combat effectiveness is much stronger, it is said that the southern nine counties are no longer under the rule of Chu at all." โ
Xiang Zhuang nodded silently, he knew that although Ji Xin said it very tactfully, what he said was the truth.
Historically, neither the Great Qin Empire nor the Great Han Empire had achieved real rule over Zhejiang and Fujian, and the tentacles of the empire only extended to the densely populated plains, while the vast hills and mountainous areas were controlled by large and small clan armies, which were like independent kingdoms.
In fact, there is another way to say these clan forces, that is, Shanyue!
Throughout the Qin and Han dynasties, Shanyue has always been outside the rule of the Central Plains Empire.
It was not until the Three Kingdoms were established that Shanyue was finally destroyed by Sun Wu.
After being separated from Wu County, Huiji County ruled fifteen counties, and the northern six counties were located in the Ningshao Plain.
The scope of the southern nine counties is much larger, roughly the western Zhejiang, southern Zhejiang, northwest Fujian, southeast Jiangxi this area, that is, the Red Army guerrilla place, high mountains and dense forests, the terrain is treacherous, with the productivity of the Qin and Han dynasties, the Central Plains Empire wants to really rule these wild places, it is indeed a little powerless.
As for Sun Wu, the reason why he pacified Shanyue at any cost was entirely to capture the strong population of Shanyue, because during the period of the Three Kingdoms, the population of the Central Plains region decreased sharply, and the total population of the entire Jiangdong was even less than one million.
Therefore, the main body of the Huiji clan is actually Shanyue, Xiang Zhuang wants to really pacify Shanyue, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, at least at present, it is absolutely impossible, fortunately, Xiang Zhuang is not so greedy, his goal is only the six counties in the north, the land of the Ningshao Plain is fertile, densely populated, Xiang Zhuang must ensure the governance of this fertile land, as for the southern nine counties, it is still mainly to pacify.
Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about the clan forces in the nine counties in the south, the top priority is to solve the clan forces in the six counties in the north, including Qiantang, Shanyin, Yuyao, Zhuji, Juzhang, and Danxian, especially the Lu clan in Qiantang, which is still jumping up and down and secretly operating, and must be eradicated as soon as possible." โ
Ji Xin said: "The Lu clan is the largest clan in Qiantang, and originally had thousands of strong men, but after the fall of Xiang Guan, a large number of strong men were lost, and now there are about more than a thousand strong men, stationed in more than a dozen dock forts, but the Lu clan is in-law with the other two major clans in Qiantang, the Zhang family and the Yan family, and the relationship is extremely close. โ
Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "The clan armed forces of Huiji must be reorganized, and if the clans of all surnames refuse to accept it, they will all be destroyed if they don't say it!" โ
In today's Jiangdong, the situation of political compromise has been reached, everything that should be won over has been co-opted, and what should be isolated has been isolated, and next, it is time to destroy those forces that should be destroyed, however, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Xiang Zhuang does not know that a large net aimed at strangling Da Chu is rapidly taking shape!
Wells, wells, wells... Well.
Pengcheng, Huainan Palace.
Kuaiche corrected the Zheng'e crown, and then walked into the warm pavilion, first bowed deeply to Yingbu, who was sitting according to the case, and then said: "The king was summoned late at night, I don't know what it was for?" โ
Yingbu didn't answer, but handed the book in his hand to Kui Che.
Kui Che took the book and read it at a glance, and his face suddenly changed slightly, and he said: "The edict of the King of Han ordered the princes of the world to rise up to fight against Jiangdong, and the first to go down to Jiangdong is the king of Chu?!" โโฆ,
Yingbu nodded and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think about this?" โ
"King, Liu Bang Lao'er, this is driving wolves to swallow tigers!" Kuaiche said without thinking, "Zhou Yin, Jin Quan, Li Zuoche and the like are not enough, slaves are shaking, slaves are even more barbarians, insufficient and seek great things, if the king raises troops, he will definitely become the primary target of Xiang Zhuang, king, this is the way to take trouble!" โ
Yingbu picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the case and said, "Then you can take a look at this again." โ
Kui Che took the bamboo slip from Yingbu's hand with some doubts, but after reading it, his face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "What, Wu Miao, the king of Hengshan, also agreed to send troops?" General Mei Yong has already gathered 50,000 troops in Lujiang?! โ
The weight of Wu Miao, the king of Hengshan, is completely different from Zhou Yin and Nu Wuzhu, and Mei Yong is a famous general in the world.
Even if the state of Chu cannot be destroyed, it is entirely possible to inflict heavy damage on the Chu army.
In the final analysis, Xiang Zhuang has just inherited the throne of the King of Chu, the situation in Jiangdong is far from calming, once there is an external force involved, the internal rebel forces will inevitably rise up, under the belly and back of the enemy, even if Xiang Zhuang has the ability to defy the sky, but I am afraid that I can't parry, this situation is different from the original battle of Dabie Mountain.
In the battle of Dabie Mountain, Xiang Zhuang did not have any burdens, and the Chu army did not need to guard the city, but in this battle of annihilation, Xiang Zhuang had a lot of burdens, and there was a city that must be defended, so that it would be greatly limited in terms of strategy and tactics, so could Xiang Zhuang still be as brave and unstoppable as in the Battle of Dabie Mountain?
Seeing that Kuaiche was silent for a long time, Yingbu asked in a quiet voice: "Prime Minister, how is it?" โ
Kui Che took a deep breath and said solemnly: "King, if the Hengshan Army can really participate in the war, then this battle is promising, and the king may as well participate in it, but ......" said this, Kui Che said again, "It is not too early for my Huainan Army to participate in the war, and I must wait until Mei discharges his troops before I can intervene in the war." โ
"It's nature." Ying preached, "As for the king of Hengshan, I will not lie and deceive the widow. โ
You must know that Wu Miao, the king of Hengshan, is Yingbu's father-in-law, and the two had a shallow relationship when they rebelled at the end of Qin...... ๏ผ
