The army that went out to Dongying lived up to Zhao Kong's expectations, and in two months, it not only destroyed the Yamatai Kingdom, but also broke the hastily organized Japanese coalition army in a battle.

Of the 50,000 Japanese soldiers, 10,000 were killed in battle, 30,000 were captured, and the resistance on the entire island of Kyushu collapsed in an instant.

In the east of this era, Honshu Island, which has a wider area, has a less developed civilization than Kyushu Island.

Therefore, even after years of war, Kyushu Island, which is only a county in the Central Plains, still has more than 2 million Japanese people.

As an outsider, it is obviously unrealistic for the Yellow Turban Army to directly rule over more than two million people, and it is impossible for Zhao Kong to leave the army in Dongying for a long time.

Therefore, after meeting with several captured Japanese leaders, Zhao Kong still decided to adopt the strategy of governing the Japanese people.

Subsequently, more than 30 Japanese leaders were canonized, and the divided territory was staggered, which made Kyushu Island even more unpeaceful.

Xun Zhan, who sent away the canonized leader of the Wa Kingdom and temporarily served as Zhao Kong's secretary, asked him with some doubts: "Why does the city lord care so much about the Wa Kingdom?" ”

Zhao Kong smiled and didn't explain, but picked up a map that included Japan and South Korea, Taiwan Island, and the eastern part of the Central Plains, and handed it to Xun Zhan beside him.

Spreading out the map and looking at it for a while, Xun Zhan frowned and said:

"The area of the four islands of the Japanese country is indeed not small, but the soldiers who went out on the expedition also said that natural disasters have broken out there year after year, and the land is relatively barren, so there is not much value to occupy, right?"

The matter of the Japanese country having a large amount of gold and silver, only the core of the Yellow Turban Army knew that Xun Zhan had not joined Taiwan Island for a long time, so naturally no one would tell him this.

Zhao Kong smiled inexplicably, pointed to the southern part of Honshu Island and said:

"There are several giant copper mountains here, and once they are mined, they will be dozens of times more than all the copper coins in the entire Central Plains combined. And the mining difficulty is not too big, do you think the Japanese country should be controlled? ”

"Shhh

Xun Zhan gasped, his eyelids were not so shallow, but the amount Zhao Kong said was too scary, so he couldn't help but continue to keep his composure.

After picking up the map again and comparing it carefully for a while, Xun Zhan shook his head again and said:

"Although the copper mountain is good, it needs a lot of people to mine, and even if you can catch slaves locally, there must be too few people to oversee and protect the mines."

"With our current population, it is impossible to divide so many people, otherwise it will affect the overall development of Taiwan Island."

In this era, mining did not have the assistance of modern machinery, and not only required a large number of miners to gamble in the mines, but also required a similar number of supervisors.

Without sufficient force, a rebellion by the miners was almost inevitable.

Especially the copper mine with huge value, because of the excessive profits, it is likely to cause the covetousness of the surrounding forces, so there must be a reliable mine protection army.

Therefore, Xun Zhan was worried about Zhao Kong, but in his heart he was expecting the other party to ask him for help.

The population of 500,000 on Taiwan Island is indeed less, while there are more than 50 million people on the surface of the Central Plains, and it is even more difficult to count the hidden black households.

If Zhao Kong asked the Xun clan for help, with the strength of the Yingchuan Xun clan, he could easily organize tens of thousands of people to cross east.

Although it is still controlled by Zhao Kong in shipping, the right to speak will definitely rise significantly, and it will become inevitable to share the interests together.

Zhao Kong glanced at Xun Zhan casually and laughed softly.

Because of the special circumstances in this world, the generals are extremely strong in flesh, and the spiritual power of the civil servants and strategists is extremely strong.

A first-class strategist like Xun Zhan, if Zhao Kong didn't forcibly break through his sea awareness protection, he really couldn't see what he was thinking.

However, Zhao Kong, who has experienced many worlds, is not a reckless man like Chen Luo, and Zhao Kong can guess most of Xun Zhan's thoughts.

It's just that the launch of the family is one of Zhao Kong's purposes, and letting them see the richness of overseas is a matter that outweighs the disadvantages for Zhao Kong, who has the power of the sea.

"What do you think I should do?" Zhao Kong asked softly following Xun Zhan's words, as if he couldn't see the other party's thoughts at all.

Xun Zhan hesitated for a moment and said, "The city lord said before that as long as the Xun clan came up with a sufficient price, he could exchange it for a large Ryukyu island. ”

"Zhan can send a letter to the clan and ask them to organize tens of thousands of young men and women to be transported to Dongying by the city lord, so that the safety of the copper mine can be solved."

"I don't know if such a price can satisfy the city lord?"

Zhao Kong first nodded, then shook his head, and replied in Xun Zhan's puzzled eyes:

"These young men can indeed be used as bargaining chips, but it is not enough to exchange those three big islands."

"In this way, if I don't force your precious brother Xun Wen, I will move Xun Gongda and their clansmen to Taiwan Island."

"In addition to the largest island among the three islands of the Ryukyus, I will also set aside another 20,000 acres of fertile land near Hsinchu to resettle the clansmen in Gongda."

Regarding who to move to Taiwan Island, Xun Zhan had also communicated with Zhao Kong before.

Zhao Kong, who wanted to bargain, naturally opened his mouth and asked half of them to come over, including Xun Yu, the "talent of Wang Zuozhi".

Xun Zhan didn't need to ask for this condition, and he knew that it was impossible for the old guys in the clan to agree.

His younger brother is the leader of the Xun family's generation, and he will not take refuge in Chen Wei, the Yellow Turban Qu Marshal, so Xun Zhan had to put this matter aside for the time being.

At this moment, seeing that Zhao Kong took a step back, although the person who asked for it was still a favored junior in the clan, Xun Zhan felt that there was a possibility of operation.

Although Xun You is a talented person, he is not good at words, and his level of dealing with people is also very average, and his weight within the Xun family is relatively light.

Moreover, the tribe where Xun You is located does not have many outstanding talents, except for Xun You, there are only three or four hundred miles of talents.

Although the others have read books, according to the assessment within the clan, at best, they are just county officials, and such people want as many as there are within the Xun clan, so eighty percent of the clan will not oppose this transaction.

It's just that once this deal is reached, he has to officially put himself under Zhao Kong's command, which is contrary to his previous ambitions, which really makes Xun Zhan a little embarrassed.

Xun Zhan's letter soon arrived in Yingchuan, and the letter described in detail his experience and the overseas situation he had seen.

In particular, the Ashio Copper Mountain in Dongying, as well as the large island promised to the Xun clan, almost exploded within the Xun clan.

Compared with Xun Zhan, the junior, Xun Shuang, Xun Qi and other older generations who really control the family know better that the arrival of troubled times is unstoppable.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the personal forces of the families in various places became stronger and stronger, and there were more and more generals who supported the army and respected themselves.

Once the imperial decree leaves Luoyang, it will almost lose its effect, and it will only be implemented in line with the interests of the local family, otherwise it will be no different from waste paper.

The Xun family itself has no intention of competing for hegemony, although it can diversify its investments to protect the family, but no one can say for sure what the future will be.

Long-sighted people care about the relative safety of overseas, while short-sighted people are eager to immediately form a fleet to seize those copper mountains when they hear that there are many giant copper mountains in Dongying.

Therefore, Xun Zhan's proposal was quickly adopted within the Xun family.

But how to implement it has to be done by the older generation to go around Taiwan Island, Ryukyu, Dongying and other places before it can really be finalized.

However, at this time, cooperating with the Yellow Turban Army is still a little too sensitive, and it is easy to attract the hostility of the imperial court.

In order to reduce the criticism he received after being exposed, Xun began to build momentum for Zhao Kong in the court, and washed the yellow turban marks on his body as much as possible, which coincided with Zhao Kong.

It's a pity that a big family like the Yingchuan Xun clan, even if they are educated hard, the internal clansmen are just as good and bad.

In just over a month, the news that the Xun clan was going to join forces with the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Chen to jointly develop Dongying Copper Mountain soon spread, causing an uproar in the world.

Fortunately, with the background and prestige of the Yingchuan Xun clan, it is impossible for the local government to come to the door to get people without evidence, but the turmoil in the dark is constantly brewing.

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty is watching the performance of the singer.

Recently, with the death of the three Zhang Jiao brothers one by one, he, the emperor, finally settled down and resumed his old habits, spending most of his time on women every day.

At this time, Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, suddenly walked in, smiled and reported the good news to him: "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy." ”

Liu Hong knew his father's character, if there was no extremely important matter, Zhang Rang would never disturb him at such a time.

Waving his hand to let the singers go down, Liu Hong asked Zhang Rang with some doubts, "Where does the joy come from?" ”

Zhang Rang said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, the slave maid got the news that Chen Chen, the commander of the Danyang Yellow Turban Qu who fled overseas, actually found a huge island in the depths of the sea, although the land on the island is barren, there are several huge copper mountains!" ”

When Liu Hong heard Zhang Rang talk about Tongshan, he suddenly sat up with a red face, and asked eagerly: "Father, how far are those Tongshan from Dahan?" ”

Zhang Rang replied with a smile: "That giant island was named Dongying by Chen Wei, and it is about a thousand miles away from Xuzhou, and it is said that the sea ship can travel back and forth in ten days. ”

Liu Hong laughed at first when he heard this, but it didn't take long for him to frown again:

"I've heard that nine out of ten ships are sinking to the sea, and it's not easy to send people to mine and then transport the copper coins back, right?"

Although Liu Hong is greedy for money and lustful, he is not an emperor of the Deep Palace without common sense, so he naturally knows how risky it is to go to sea.

Zhang Rang explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this matter is really troublesome, but that Yellow Turban Chen is good at shipbuilding, and he has hundreds of big ships that can run rampant in the sea, and he has been to Dongying many times in the past few months, and there have been no accidents. ”

Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang suspiciously, and asked with some displeasure: "But that ship is in the hands of the Yellow Turban Thieves, can they still sacrifice it to me?" ”

Seeing that Liu Hong was a little impatient, Zhang Rang hurriedly explained that Zhao Kong was not manpower enough and cooperated with the Xun family, which made Liu Hong's eyes ripple.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the Xun family is colluding with the Yellow Turban thieves to seek my money together!" Liu Hong slammed the table and accused sharply.

Zhang Rang, who knew Liu Hong's character, hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty is right, these families have always been the big thieves of the country, and the Xun family disguises themselves as loyal and patriotic on weekdays, and they also collude with the yellow scarves behind their backs to plot against the law." ”

Liu Hong squinted his eyes and asked, "Does Father have definite evidence of the Xun clan's collusion with the Yellow Turban?" ”

Zhang Rang shook his head and said: "Xun Shuang's old fox is very cautious, the only letter was burned on the spot, and the informant's empty words alone are not evidence for the Xun family at all. ”

Liu Hong sighed regretfully and said: "It's a pity, otherwise I can take the opportunity to clean up the Xun family and beat these more and more presumptuous families, which can be regarded as a real joy." ”

Seeing that Liu Hong was a little excited, Zhang Rang walked up to him and whispered:

"Your Majesty, although we can't use this to clean up the Xun clan, we can ruin their good deeds."

"When the time comes, when Chen is defeated and helpless, he can only compromise with His Majesty, so that those copper mountains in Dongying will become Your Majesty's bag sooner or later!"

Liu Hong nodded and said: "Then according to what Father Rang said, let the coastal states and counties pay attention to the review, and be sure to prevent a large-scale population from going to sea." ”

The coastline of Dahan is too long, and Liu Hong also knows that it is impossible to completely prevent it.

But the actions of hundreds or thousands of people will definitely leave traces, and tens of thousands of people will not be able to hide it, as long as the place is carefully inspected, it is difficult to hide even if it is scattered.

Under normal circumstances, the will of the coastal counties to the imperial court is basically to obey the yang and the yin.

However, as the news of Dongying Tongshan became more and more exaggerated, the coastal counties, which were not rich in the first place, suddenly became red-eyed and hot-hearted, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune and strictly guard against the foreign population.

In the end, the Xun clan only moved out more than 100 clansmen, as well as less than 2,000 servants, so they did not dare to continue to act, for fear of being caught by the imperial court and ruining the Xun's reputation for hundreds of years.

Without the assistance of the Xun clan in the Central Plains, the plan to expand the population of Taiwan Island was also interrupted, and Zhao Kong was naturally unwilling to admit it.

"Liu Hong is dying, the Qiang coalition army in the west is plundering Liangzhou, and it may enter the Sanfu region at any time."

"Dozens of rebel armies in the south have risen one after another, and Yizhou officials have been killed one after another."

"Xianbei and Wuhuan in the north have been buckling the border year after year, and the southern Xiongnu are becoming more and more restless, and they will go south to plunder at every turn."

"Now you still want to provoke us in the east, you really don't want to live a good life?"

Zhao Kong summoned his military generals to discuss how to deal with the actions of the imperial court.

"Qu Shuai, I heard that another brother in Qingzhou has risen up, we might as well support them from the sea and let the court know the price of provoking us!"

Wu Xu, who had already returned to Taiwan Island, was the first to stand up and say.

Wu Xu fought very well in several battles in Dongying, and now he is full of confidence and wants to take the opportunity to return to the Central Plains.

Zhao Kong nodded and said: "Wenhe, go back and send someone to contact the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, if that Zhang Qushuai is interested, let him lead the army to the east and take the coastal Donglai County, no matter the grain and grass or armaments in the future, we can support them part." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Kong added: "Of course, we can support the same Yellow Turban Army for a while, but if we want to get money and food for a long time, we must use the population to trade. ”

"Yes, my lord."

Jia Xu replied with a calm face, if he hadn't spoken, others would hardly have felt his existence.

Since he was put into Zhao Kong's command, Jia Xu has taken over the intelligence system set up by Zhao Kong himself-Jinyiwei.

Although the scale of Jinyiwei is not large at present, the more than 100 spies who were brainwashed by Zhao Kong himself and taught the secret art of concealment and concealment made Jia Xu feel that this organization had a lot to do.

And compared to being a glorious military advisor, Jia Xu still prefers to shrink in the shadow of Zhao Kong.

In this way, he can not only give full play to his talents, but also protect himself to the greatest extent, which is the state that Jia Xu is looking forward to the most.
