Chapter 1119: Haoqiang Migration Order

A Luopan, Wang Tong, and Wang Ji surrendered to the Shang army and offered the Boundless City, which caused a very bad influence in Gongsun Zhan's army.

Gongsun Chan fought for many years, and the people and military strength suffered huge losses, and the army was in a situation where military salaries and food could not be effectively guaranteed all the year round, all relying on his previous prestige.

But the prestige thing is used less once, and after years of consumption, Gongsun Zhan's prestige has been seriously overdrawn.

In addition, in terms of prestige, he cannot be compared with Shang Ji at all, and he has been comprehensively suppressed in all aspects of righteousness, military strength, and prestige.

And because Daijun, Zhuo County, Shanggu County and other counties were conquered by the Shang army one after another, it dealt a fatal blow to the morale of Gongsun Zhan's army, and the surrender of Aluopan, Wang Tong, and Wang Ji became the last straw that crushed Gongsun Zhan's army.

On the night of Gongsun Zhan's retreat, a skirmish broke out among his troops.

Although this civil strife was suppressed by Gongsun Chan with a thunderous force, the internal contradictions were further intensified, and the army was on the verge of collapse.

Zhao Yun strictly followed the strategy specified by Shang Ji, fought steadily, and led the army into the Boundless City without hurry, and then suppressed the rebels, relieved the victims, and quickly stabilized the situation in the Boundless City.

It wasn't until ten days later that all the inner rings of the Boundless City were cleared, and Zhao Yun led his army to continue the pursuit of Gongsun Zhan.

This also made Gongsun Chan shout lucky, the original Boundless City was newly defeated, and the army was in chaos, if Zhao Yun took the opportunity to lead the elite soldiers to launch a surprise attack, there was a very high chance of defeating Gongsun Zan in a battle.

At that time, Gongsun Chan himself was desperate, and once had the idea of abandoning the army and fleeing to the lonely old mountains and forests.

However, to Gongsun Zhan's surprise, Zhao Yun actually watched this great fighter plane slip out of his hands, allowing Gongsun Chan to gain ten precious days of repair time, and slightly redeemed the situation that was close to collapse.

Not to mention that Gongsun Chan didn't understand, even the princes of the world who paid attention to the occupation of Youzhou were confused.

The previous fighter was so obvious that it was impossible for a normal coach to let it go, but Zhao Yun turned a blind eye, and many people were uneasy, and honestly felt that something was wrong.

In fact, it made sense that the princes felt that something was wrong, if their spies could sink into the interior of the Boundless City and carefully probe the changes in the city, they would find out what Zhao Yun had done in the past ten days!

As the county of Beiping County, the city is full of heroes.

In ten days, Zhao Yun used coercive means, with the cooperation of Thousand Illusions and Shadow Clothes Secret Martial Arts, to complete the forced relocation of the Haoqiang family in the Boundless City!

In the past three years, although the Shang Ji Army has not taken any external action, the activities of Thousand Illusions and Shadow Clothes Secret Martial Arts have not stopped, but have been further strengthened.

Boundless City is close to the jurisdiction of Shang Ji, and it is the top priority of the penetration of Thousand Illusions and Shadow Clothes, when it comes to understanding Boundless City, Shang Ji can not exaggerate to say that Gongsun Chan is not as good as himself!

Among them, one of the key objects of Qianfan's exploration is the wealthy families in various places.

Before Zhao Yun set out on the expedition, Shang Ji had set the basic means of dealing with the Haoqiang clan - forced migration!

This forced migration was not original to the Shang Dynasty, after the Qin State unified the Six Kingdoms, the First Emperor had ordered the relocation of the local Haoqiang and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to Xianyang, and the relocation of 120,000 households.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to crack down on the local tyrants, he also issued the "Relocation of Maoling Order", ordering more than 3 million families from all over the country to move to Maoling (the mausoleum area of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty) to implement the strategy of strengthening the strong and weakening the branches.

The migration orders of the Shang Dynasty were slightly different from those of the First Emperor and the First Emperor Wu, and the main purpose of the former two was to combat local pride and strengthen the centralization of power.

Of course, there were reasons for the migration order of the merchants, but the more important purpose was the movement of people.

Anyone who can be called a wealthy family, the most basic one is a large population. This large population refers not only to the large number of members within the family, but also to the labor force such as slaves and vassals controlled by the family.

According to historical records, at the end of the Han Dynasty, some wealthy families served thousands of servants, and the situation in the beacon fire was even more exaggerated, and the population controlled by the wealthy clans was often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!

On the one hand, the wealthy families control a large number of people, eroding local political power, and in turn using the convenience of political power to nibble up more people, which is a typical behavior of digging into the corners of the country.

Shang Ji naturally did not want the regime he had established to be hollowed out by the wealthy family, so the wealthy family must be suppressed.

An important reason why Shang Ji worked hard to popularize education, applied both soft and hard, and expanded the senior academy by various means was to prepare for the fight against Haoqiang.

Moreover, the scope of Shangji's control area is very wide, and the scope of Pingzhou alone is extremely broad, and even the outer Xing'anling area is theoretically under the rule of Pingzhou.

Of course, this is only theoretical, now there are tigers, leopards and jackals in an endless stream, thousands of miles of uninhabited, except for a small number of expeditions, hunting groups, there is almost no permanent population, and there is no way to talk about domination.

If you want to develop and exploit this place, large-scale immigration is a precondition.

However, the conditions there were relatively harsh, and for ordinary people they were no different from exile, and it was impossible for Shang Ji to move ordinary people to remote areas for no reason.

In this case, the wealthy family has become the best migration object.

First of all, they have abundant financial resources and sufficient ability to complete the migration, and they can also stabilize production as soon as possible after the migration. Secondly, they control a large population, and they can move tens of thousands of people if they can get a family, let alone a family. The migration of small families is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to attract complaints, but the wealthy families do not care, anyway, the merchants do not expect their heartfelt support.

Finally, the relocation of wealthy families can greatly alleviate the conflict between population and land in densely populated areas, and further stabilize the rule.

Overall, there are many benefits to containing the migratory wealthy families - except that it will cause a fierce backlash from the wealthy families!

But Shang Ji didn't care.

"What Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can do, why can't I do it?!"

Shang Ji didn't realize that he was often comparing his actions to Qin Shi Huang, a mentality that would have been completely unimaginable a few years ago.

Of course, the most basic face-saving work still has to be done when migrating, and Shang Ji's order to Zhao Yun is to conquer a city, take advantage of the chaotic scene of the battle between the two armies, and fabricate some crimes against the wealthy families in the city, such as treason, banditry, rebellion, etc.

And no matter what the crime is, the final verdict is that the whole family is exiled to XXXXX.

It was precisely in order to deal with the wealthy families in the Boundless City that Zhao Yun delayed for ten days, giving Gongsun Chan a chance to breathe. However, this doesn't matter to Zhao Yun at all, from a certain point of view, the living Gongsun Chan is more in line with Shang Ji's interests than the dead Gongsun Chan.

Without Gongsun Chan as a-stirring stick, where can Shang Ji find a reason for forced migration?

Poor Gongsun Chan thought that he had escaped by luck at this time, but he didn't know that he had become a tool man in the eyes of Shang Ji.
