Chapter 4 Side Mission 2: Completed

The battle between Gan Ning and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai is only a microcosm of the battle between Jiaozhou and Jiangdong, although Sun Quan transferred Zhou Yu and other generals back from the northern front, but the entire Jiangdong naval army + infantry is only 780,000 people, and there are 30,000 distributed on the northern front, and the army that can be dispatched is only 10,000 naval troops + 40,000 foot soldiers, and the troops have to be divided into three ways to face the 100,000 troops in Jiaozhou.

How does this work?

There is no barrier to the main stream of the Yangtze River, and most of the other areas are infantry battlefields except for Ganning.

Jiangdong is short of horses, and the whole Jiangdong has 1,000 cavalry, and Huang Shang smashed the pot and sold iron for six or seven years, bought more than 3,000 war horses from the north, and bought more than 100 foreign slaves from the north who were proficient in raising horses, after several years of domestication and breeding, now there are more than 13,000 war horses in Jiaozhou.

With the exception of the old and the young, as well as special circumstances, the other 8,000 horses were pushed to the front in order to gain overwhelming superiority in the ground war.

However, the south is really not suitable for raising horses, even if Huang Shang smashed the pot and sold iron, and subsidized a lot of money, in seven years, he only let the war horses breed to more than 13,000.

Of course, no matter how much you can raise, but the quality cannot be guaranteed.

A war horse and a horse are not the same thing.

The war is about money, Huang Shang has been throwing money for several years, and Jiangdong has been fighting a few years ago, first Sun Ce was fighting, then Sun Ce died, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and it was not easy to settle down in the past two years, and there was no time and energy to throw money at all.

When 10,000 sailors faced 30,000 sailors, 40,000 infantry soldiers faced 70,000 infantry soldiers, and 1,000 cavalry faced 8,000 cavalry, the outcome was already obvious.

Even if Zhou Yu was resourceful, in the face of absolute strength, the Jiangdong Army was still inevitably destroyed.

When the news of Zhou Yu's capture reached Sun Quan's ears, the entire Jiangdong group was in chaos.

Seeing the strength and terrifyingness of the Jiaozhou Army, the Jiangdong civil officials-wall-grass-group all became surrenderers, and even Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong strongly advocated surrender, vomiting Sun Quan's blood.

This Nima was called Xiao Tiantian two years ago, but now the new person replaces the old person, and he is called Mrs. Niu.

Heβ€”β€”tuiβ€”β€”

Scumbag!

No matter how hard Sun Quan scolds, it's useless, even if there are veterans like Huang Gai and Cheng Pu by his side, it is impossible to kill all these Jiangdong civil officials, then he will be happy, but he and the Sun family will also be finished together.

Seeing that it was impossible to keep the foundation of Jiangdong, Sun Quan went home and took a hot bath, changed into new clothes, held a big seal, and opened the city gate surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials and the people in the city, and ate pot pulp to welcome the 'Wang Shi'.

When Huang Shang took over Sun Quan's Taishou Great Seal and stationed in Huijicheng, the entire Jiangdong became Huang Shang's bag, and the war, which lasted for more than two months, also ended in a complete victory in Jiaozhou.

After fighting this battle, Huang Shangyi was to reward meritorious deeds, the second was to deal with post-war matters, and the third was to recruit famous generals such as Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, and by the way, all the people of the Sun family were sent to Jiaozhou for retirement.

The first two things are easy to say, and it is no problem to send the Sun family to Jiaozhou for retirement, but the recruitment of famous generals such as Zhou Yu and Tai Shici has encountered a lot of obstacles.

That Tai Shi Ci swore not to surrender, and Zhou Yu just wanted to go home to retire and be a teacher.

As for the other second- and third-rate generals, those who were willing to surrender were reassigned to their posts, and those who did not accept surrender were directly sent to labor camps.

They are not first-class or even historical-level celebrities like Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, and Huang Shangke will not get used to them.

However, Zhou Yu and Tai Shici's refusal to surrender is indeed a trouble.

Fortunately, he has a way.

A few days later, Zhou Yu's family and Tai Shici's family were sent to Jiaozhou.

His method is to let these two diehards live well in Jiaozhou, observe for two years, and see what kind of life the people of Jiaozhou live? Is the future of Jiaozhou brighter than under the rule of other princes?

Anyway, the main task in the next few years is to absorb and develop Jiangdong, and he will not consider expansion for the time being, and he has enough time to wait for Zhou Yu and Tai Shici to change their minds.

In addition to this, there is a small episode.

Before sending the Sun family and Zhou Yu's family to Jiaozhou, he met the big Qiao and Xiao Qiao of this world.

emmmm, how to say it! These two sisters are okay and relatively white, but Dingtian is the level of modern class flowers, which is really inconsistent with the identity of the most beautiful women in history.

may also be his fantasy of ancient beauties, in this era, it is difficult for ordinary people to eat a full meal, and it is not easy to eat a little salt for three meals a day, even if Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were born in a rich family since childhood, it is difficult to look good in the era of no maintenance and insufficient nutrition.

The facial features look pleasing to the eyes and the skin is white, which is already rare, not to mention that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in this period are both old women who have married and given birth to children, and it is already very good to be able to maintain their current demeanor, and they can't be too demanding.

After experiencing several worlds, Huang Shang sincerely feels that if the beauties in history are put in modern times, they are roughly the level of Internet celebrities, beautiful is beautiful, but that's it.

The reason why he can leave a name in history is almost always related to politics. For example, which of the four beauties was not a key figure in changing history?

Even if Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, it is because they are married to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu that they can leave their names in history, otherwise there are so many beauties in the world, who will remember them?

Similarly, if Luo Shen Zhen Mi hadn't been involved with Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, who would have remembered a widow with a dead husband?

The so-called beauties who have left their names in history are basically this routine, in the era of these historical beauties, there must be women who are more beautiful than them, but because they have not been recorded in the history books, they have all been buried in the dust of history.

After seeing Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Huang Shang lost interest in Diao Chan, Cai Wenji or anything. No matter how beautiful they are, they can't be more beautiful than the beauty filter, and the Li'er in Huang Feihong's smile is no worse than them.

It took a few months to reorganize all kinds of government and military affairs in Jiangdong, and those Confucian officials who had no ability and only knew empty talk were dismissed and sent home to play with their children. Some capable officials and cadres were transferred to work according to the situation, but more official positions were occupied by young officials who had been trained for several years in Jiaozhou.

In addition, Huang Shang also did a big thing, that is, to recover the land annexed by the family family, distribute it all to the local people, and then copy the Jiaozhou set to strengthen his rule over Jiangdong.

Of course, there are big families who refuse to hand over the land obediently, and Huang Shang didn't talk nonsense, and directly sent troops to kill these big families.

Among these people, the men will be sent to the construction site for labor reform, and the women, who are not very beautiful, will be sent to technical schools for training, and can be re-employed and found jobs in the future; The beautiful ones are distributed to the meritorious servants under them, whether they are daughters-in-law or concubines, they are an effective means to win over their subordinates.

Under Huang Shang's iron-blooded suppression, half a year later, all the clans in Jiangdong and Jiaozhou were swept away, laying an important foundation for his planning of Jiangdong.

And the news that Huang Shang's Jiaozhou army had defeated Sun Quan in a few months and occupied Jiangdong quickly spread throughout the other states of the Han Dynasty like wings.

Among them, the most shocking was Cao Cao in the north, as well as Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Sichuan and Shu were not greatly affected because of geographical reasons, but Ma Teng and Han Sui in the Xiliang Frontier were very surprised when they heard the news, and they didn't know how this Jiaozhou Mu trained the Jiaozhou soldiers? Even Jiangdong couldn't resist it and was annexed by it.

In short, the annexation of Jiangdong by Jiaozhou became a battle that shook the world and even changed the situation in the world.

After the annexation of Jiangdong, Huang Shang already had a population of more than 10 million, accounting for one-third of the entire Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao in the north had just defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu two years ago, although Yuan Shao died of illness, but his three sons were still struggling, so Cao Cao did not have the ability to immediately unify the north, so Cao Cao's current population is only about two million, only one-fifth of the population under Huang Shang's rule.

And even if Cao Cao kills Yuan Shao's three sons in the next few years and unifies the north, the total population is estimated to be about 10 million.

With Huang Shang's governance ability and the assistance of high-yield grain, the total population of Jiaozhou and Jiangdong was estimated to have exceeded 30 million at that time, so what did Cao Cao play with him?

What's more, there is a Jingzhou with a population of about three million next to it, waiting for Huang Shang to slaughter.

That is, Huang Shang temporarily focused on the development of Jiangdong, and he couldn't free up his hands for the time being, and after two years, Jingzhou would definitely not be able to run away.

By that time, Huang Shang had occupied almost the entire southern part of the Han Dynasty, and the real half of the country.

If there is food, there will be a population, and if there is correct governance, there will be a hotbed of reproduction, even if Huang Shang will shrink for the next 20 years, and devote himself to developing the economy, culture, construction, industry and agriculture of the south......

In a state of peace, food and clothing, and let the people go free to live, 20 years later, it will definitely not be a problem for the population of the entire southern region to exceed 100 million.

At that time, with a national strength of 100 million people, the northern regime, which has been in turmoil for 20 years and has a population of less than 10 million, is not yet a hand-holder.

But this is an assumption, it is impossible for him to shrink in the south for twenty years, in case in these twenty years, Zhao Zilong and Luo Ping'an die of illness, or die in some accident, how can he complete the task?

Therefore, he will definitely take advantage of Zhao Zilong and Luo Ping'an's youth and strength to dominate the world as soon as possible, let Luo Ping'an return to his hometown in fine clothes, and remove his armor for Zhao Zilong.

After this Jiangdong Campaign, Luo Ping'an has been promoted to the partial general of Wupin, which belongs to the permanent general of the Han Dynasty, not a miscellaneous general.

With Luo Ping'an's ability, being able to get mixed up with this rank is basically the end. And 'Changshan' just happens to be in Jiangdong (where to say it), Luo Ping'an can return to his hometown.

With the attitude of trying it out, Huang Shang gave Luo Ping'an a three-month long vacation shortly after the end of the war, allowed him to go back to Changshan to visit his parents, relatives and friends, and gave him a lot of rewards.

As for Zhao Zilong, he was temporarily left by him to garrison at the border, so as not to steal the limelight from Luo Ping'an.

Zhao Zilong is now a small cavalry guerrilla general of Sipin, which is an affirmation of his ability to lead an army alone.

And Luo Ping'an is destined to be just a pioneer.

Fortunately, shortly after Luo Ping'an returned to Changshan, side quest 2 was completed.

Now, there is only the main quest to dominate the world, and the side quest to unload Zhao Zilong's armor when the world is peaceful.
