Chapter 1096: Pass
South Vietnam is indeed not at peace today. Vertex X 23 U S
Under Gao Yuyao's series of layouts, the bloody and clear major families made them fall one after another. The forces of South Vietnam are composed of pirates and local forces, and the third is the big forces with these families as the background. The latter has always been based on the eastern part of South Vietnam, which is now the Dongyue Prefecture of Daliang.
The family fell, and Dongyue Prefecture had no backstage, thinking that this was a good time to take the opportunity to stand on its own, and I didn't want the imperial army to advance by land and water, and no one dared to stop it.
If it develops according to the normal situation, it is a sure thing that Dongyue Prefecture will be completely officially included in the territory of Daliang, and it will not be able to make too big waves at all, but the problem lies with Gao Yuyao.
At that time, Gao Yuyao happened to go north in person and was trapped in Yancheng. As a result, the imperial court regrouped its army, and the Penglai Naval Division, which had originally gone south, was transferred back, and many foot soldiers were also transferred back. However, Gao Yanshen ignored his illness and dragged his old body into the court, directly making the army stuck in the middle of the road and unable to move.
Regardless of the outcome, at least the time difference caused by this is enough for the original forces in Dongyue Prefecture to do something. Not to mention that after Gao Yuyao became pregnant and gave birth, she didn't have much energy to arrange.
Now that they are back in power, they will naturally make corresponding adjustments, and the forces that were originally quite powerful in Dongyue Prefecture will die immediately, but it is impossible for them to give up completely. For a while, there were many more pirates in the South China Sea, which also made the sea and land trade in the South China Sea much more dangerous.
The biggest impact is none other than Wednesday Mountain and the local forces.
Wednesday Mountain robbed relatives and forcibly married Black Pearl Li Erniu...... Well, that's a bit of a bad name. However, the Li family is indeed a big local force, controlling the local big city of Hepu City, and it is friendly with Yulin City for generations.
The method of snatching relatives is not worth advocating, but the harvest is not bad. Under the joint efforts, not only Zhuya City was destroyed, but even Zhuya Island was also occupied, and the next step was naturally to develop steadily, expand sea trade and reserve its own strength at the same time.
Merely......
"What? Merchant ships hijacked again? "Wednesday Mountain is very annoyed, although there have been merchant ships robbed before, in fact, let alone robbed, even if it is smooth sailing, but the sea is magnificent but also dangerous, if you don't meet sea thieves, you may also encounter sea waves, so it is inevitable to have losses, and Wednesday Mountain also has psychological expectations and preparations. It's just that I've been robbed at every turn recently, which makes people unhappy.
But what if it's not happy? The sea is too big, unless you bite it, God knows where people are running and where the nest is.
"It's all to blame for the Empress Dowager Liang!" Wednesday Mountain dissatisfied.
His dissatisfaction was not because of the affairs of Dongyue Prefecture, but the news he knew now did not know about the further changes in Dongyue Prefecture. The reason why Gao Yuyao is to blame is because Gao Yuyao opened up the Eastern Japanese Trade Road.
If you want to succeed, you have to have money, this is the foundation. Gao Yuyao knew very well that even if it cost a lot of money, it was necessary to open up the sea trade route with Silla and Dongwa.
Silla is better, although the pirates do, but they are not too exaggerated. But there are many pirates in the East Wa line. Gao Yuyao sent the sailors to clear all the way, and the harvest was also quite rich, and he didn't dare to say that he would kill them all, at least the big threat was gone.
The pirates along the way were either cleared or forced to move south, which is one of the reasons for the gradual increase in pirates in the South China Sea.
Among this wave of pirates, there are a lot of people from the East, according to the understanding of Wednesday Mountain, most of these people are said to be wandering samurai? After all, he is extremely good at swordsmanship, and he is not afraid of life and death when he fights, which is quite fierce, which makes people frightened, but he is really short. Oh, by the way, what puzzled Zhou Sanshan was that those people were obviously knives in their hands, why could they be called kendo?
Speaking of which, Wednesday Mountain now has two wandering warriors under its command, and it is said that the family was a wealthy family somewhere......
Well, this makes Wednesday Mountain even more speechless, if it is in Daliang, dare to call it a wealthy family, not to mention the great cause of the family, the population under control must be at least tens of thousands. But they are not, it is said that at their peak, they can gather nearly 100 light feet......
Forget it, when nothing was said. At least after the people put into the service, they did show loyalty and a little bit of strength.
"Report, big boss, urgent letter from Tanzhou." But a cronie ran over.
"What a big boss, called a general!" Wednesday Shan was dissatisfied, the big boss or something, when he heard it, he was not serious, or the general was good, how prestigious.
picked up the letter and looked at it, and immediately smiled: "I said that there are so many pirates recently, it turns out that there is an accident in Dongyue Prefecture, and those people have been working against the local Li family for a long time, no wonder they are robbing our ship." ”
Regarding the situation in Dongyue Prefecture and the precautions, these could not make Wednesday Mountain laugh, and he was happy with the news at the end of the letter.
After occupying Baling City, Gao Xiujun, the nominal temporary representative of Tanzhou, wrote to the imperial court and applied to change Baling City to Yue County, and the boundary north of Tanzhou Capital City was incorporated into the jurisdiction of Yue County, changed to Yue County, and incorporated into the territory of Tanzhou. In addition, the land of the two states of Chenghui Prefecture in Jitan Prefecture was unified and changed to Xiangzhou. The capital city of Xinzhou was moved south accordingly to establish a new city, named Star City.
If nothing else, Gao Yuyao will not be idle to refuse this, and there is nothing disgusting about it, anyway, she can't manage these territories. Moreover, Gao Yuyao also felt that this move was appropriate, whether it was Tanzhou or Chenghuizhou, they were all very small states, and together they were nothing more than that. Even she, after retaking these places in the future, will make corresponding mergers and acquisitions.
The reason why Zhou Sanshan is happy is this, I mentioned it a long time ago, Tan Wang or something, he Zhou Sanshan felt awkward, or Xiang Wang sounded good, Zhou Shaoyu also vaguely promised that if it happens in the future, Xiang Wang or something, it is all trivial.
At this moment, not to mention changing Tanzhou to Xiangzhou, Chenghui Prefecture was also merged, and the territory was larger. In Zhou Sanshan's opinion, this is what Zhou Shaoyu still remembers, and when he thought of having the opportunity to become the king of Xiang in the future, Zhou Sanshan suddenly felt happy.
It's a pity that the original hometown has become a ruin, and it is impossible to return to the hometown.
"Come on, go to Hepu City and Yulin City, and ask them to come and talk in detail, Daliang is about to unify Dongyue Prefecture, and we must take countermeasures." After reading the letter, Zhou Shan burned it directly, and there were some things that could not be seen by outsiders, such as what was written in it, and he could take the opportunity to use the threat of the Liang court as a reason to look for an opportunity to annex it.
It is an exaggeration to say that the annexation is an exaggeration, as long as the local forces can be ensured to serve Tanzhou first, and then they have their own ways to gradually unify the forces.
In fact, the last content of the entire letter was revised and added by Li Qingzhao and the others at their own discretion. According to Zhou Shaoyu's original intention, there is no need to say too much. If there used to be a lot of precautions against Wednesday Mountain, now it is much better.
Although Wednesday Mountain is ambitious, he is not so wild that he wants to make his nephew's rebellion and pick his nephew's peaches.
But Zhou Shaoyu can rest assured, it doesn't mean that the girls must rest assured, and the means they should use will naturally be used. For example, the purpose of changing Tanzhou to Xiangzhou is to stabilize Wednesday Mountain, after all, Wednesday Mountain is alone and in charge, not afraid of 10,000 just in case, once it changes, the impact is very great.
It's a pity that many sisters have now gone to the Northland, and no more sisters can be sent to the land of South Vietnam. In fact, the main thing is that there are no naval generals, although Sun Shangxiang can be the commander of the navy, but after all, it is an inland river, and Sun Shangxiang is also unfamiliar with the sea. And even if it's familiar? After all, she only understands, if Sun Shangxiang is sent out, what will the Tanzhou sailor do?
And sending a girl who can only fight on land doesn't make much difference. Since there are no checks and balances, then other means can only be adopted. It's not really afraid of how the mountain will be on Wednesday, otherwise you can get some people to go over, it's just a matter of further security. Most of the talents in government affairs were sent from Tanzhou.
For the South Vietnam region, although Zhou Shaoyu attaches great importance to it, he is also in a hurry, and now he only needs to fight steadily in the mountains and use local forces to maintain his current strength. In the final analysis, this side of the world is different, and it is likely that there is not such a vast area, and if there is nothing in Europe, Africa, Oceania, etc., then the role of the so-called maritime power will naturally be greatly reduced.
The most important thing at the moment is to make the defense of Youzhou stable and develop.
At this time, the benefits of continuing to let Huofeng be independent came out. Youzhou is Jizhou below, and Jizhou is Yuzhou and Qingzhou below. Among them, Jizhou once again belongs to Huofeng, and Qingzhou is in the hands of Daliang.
If it wasn't that Huofeng was independent, it was directly attached to Zhou Shaoyu. Then you definitely don't have to think about it, Gao Yuyao can't sit still anyway. It's not possible for you to grow steadily.
And now it's different, in order to stabilize the situation, there is no shortage of drama between Zhou Shaoyu and Huofeng now.
What is the most important thing for ancient times to want to develop? Nothing more than two words, population! In all dynasties, one of the policies that must be there after opening their mouths is to encourage childbirth, not to mention that later dynasties, even as early as the Qin Dynasty, can be exempted from part of the tax if they have a son. This shows the importance of population.
At the beginning, the Turkic Khan Ashina suddenly entered Youzhou, causing a large number of people in Youzhou to flee, either into the state or into Jizhou. At present, the Turks are defeated and retreated, Youzhou is under the command of Zhou Shaoyu, and Jizhou is also back in the hands of Huofeng. In this way, there are naturally many people in Youzhou who want to return to their hometowns.
Population is very important, so according to common sense, it is impossible for Huofeng to sit back and watch the population lose and leave.
At first, he pretended not to know and let him leave. Then he and Zhou Shaoyu started acting, and there was no less friction between Jizhou and Youzhou, but they tried their best to restrain themselves and no major battles occurred.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a manifestation of the disagreement between the two parties. Even so, how could Gao Yuyao, who has always pursued a balanced strategy, move blindly, the more they disagree, the happier Gao Yuyao becomes.
Because of this, Zhou Shaoyu didn't need to worry too much about the south at all, he only needed to guard against the Turks in the north and the Jin Kingdom.
"Ashina Huqin refused?" Zhou Shaoyu listened to the messenger's return, and said very casually, as if this was also expected.
"Back to the king, the Turkic Khan said that he would never conspire with the enemy who killed his father." The messenger said respectfully.
"......Shh Pretending. Zhou Shaoyu pursed his lips, and said in his heart that Ashina Huqin's reason is unreliable enough. Still don't conspire with the enemy who killed his father? It's not troublesome, you really care so much, when you invaded the south, you wouldn't have entered Youzhou at all, but directly attacked and merged with the state.
"It's nothing more than because of Silla's Liang reinforcements." Zhou Shaoyu affirmed.
Gao Yuyao sent a large army into Silla to support Silla against the Jin Kingdom. It is equivalent to one more enemy in the Jin country. Although the gold ** team is strong, it can be said that all the people are soldiers, but the population base is here, and no matter how strong it is, there will be a limit.
It was Ashina Huqin who had self-confidence, and when the Jin Kingdom was restrained by Silla, he would be able to deal with the Jin Kingdom, where he needed to secretly plot with Zhou Shaoyu. Although he doesn't care so much about the revenge of his father Ashina Falcon's death, he also cares a little about what outsiders think. His current prestige has fallen into a trough, and if he conspires with his father's killer, I am afraid that he will lose the hearts of the people.
From this point of view, after Ashina Huqin suffered a lot of setbacks, his temperament has converged a lot.
"Okay, now that I have reached an agreement with Ashina Huqin, I only need to guard against the Jin people in the future." Zhou Shaoyu smiled faintly, a lot more relaxed.
"Agreements?" Qin Yiliu was stunned for a moment, but asked directly in confusion. In fact, she is not the only sister who is confused, there are several people present who are confused, didn't they refuse, why did they agree again?
"If you really refuse, Ashina Huqin won't use such an unreasonable reason." Zhou Shaoyu said with a smile: "Even if he doesn't want to conspire with me because he doesn't like me, then I believe that he is not interested in anything." But Bisheng used the revenge of killing his father as the reason, tsk...... When did he Ashina Huqin become so filial? It's just that now I have begun to worry about my reputation and dare not unite openly. I had to use this euphemism to reach an agreement, and in the future, he could not come to raid Youzhou, but if necessary, we would also have to cooperate, of course, if outsiders could not see the union. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Shaoyu sighed lightly and continued: "In this way, Ashina Huqin is also pitiful. Back then, he was high-spirited and reckless, and he could do whatever he wanted, but now his strength is getting weaker and weaker, and he can't let go of the heart to rise again, but he has more and more scruples. ”
Can it still be like this? A few girls glanced at each other, and they didn't understand what this refusal and implicit union meant.
But if this is the case, it is definitely good news for Youzhou.
Although the Jin State has strong combat power, its number is limited, and there are wars on all sides, and those who come to Youzhou to loot are small-scale. Only Ashina Huqin still has the spare strength to invade on a large scale. In fact, it doesn't take much, even if there are only more than 50 million iron horses, it is enough to make Youzhou embarrassed. After all, there is a very different way to deal with a raid than a direct war.
Now that the Turks are not coming, what does it mean? It means that only one army needs to be sent to garrison the abandoned pass to defend the gold man, and at the same time, the pass can be rebuilt with labor! Once the pass is completed, the safety index of Youzhou will be greatly improved.
Maybe other forces will cause a lot of complaints about the conscription of labor, but Zhou Shaoyu will not be here. Other people's labor may directly tire people to death, and if it is not good, there is no return. But Zhou Shaoyu is different here, not to mention room and board, there is still remuneration to get, and there is no need to work day and night, and the rest time is enough.
Of course, this so-called rest time is enough, and it depends on when it is compared, and if you really look at it from the perspective of later generations, the absolute aspect is a black-hearted boss.
After all, Youzhou was first built, and the people of Youzhou who returned to their hometown also needed a livelihood, and it was better to have work than to have no work. And it is also for the stability of Youzhou, if you publicize it, everyone will take it to heart, and understand that this is not only for the stability of Zhou Shaoyu's power in Youzhou, but also for the people of Youzhou.
Uh-huh, propaganda or something, definitely a good thing.
Having said that, according to Zhou Shaoyu's concept, no matter where it is, sooner or later it will be incorporated into its own territory, according to this theory, there is naturally no need to rebuild the pass, just look at the so-called pass in later generations to become a scenic spot.
However, the actual situation does not allow it, and there is no way. What should be built, it still has to be built.
In other words, what is the name of Xinguan Pass, this location ...... Juyongguan?
