Chapter 155: Raiding Dongying
At the beginning of August of the seventh year of Guanghe, Zhao Kong did not hesitate to take all the soldiers and horses under his command and quickly withdrew from the Jiangnan region.
In less than four months, nearly 500,000 people have migrated from Danyang and Yuzhang counties to Taiwan Island, which completely exceeds the upper limit of digestion in a short period of time.
If it weren't for Zhao Kong's time, he would have spent nearly one million points one after another to purchase a large number of people's biological resources.
I am afraid that the 500,000 people who were forced to relocate would have collectively turned into a mob and overthrew Zhao Kong's evil rule.
Fortunately, most of the ancient Chinese peasants did not have high requirements for survival and were relatively docile.
After Zhao Kong divided the fields and provided daily necessities, these ordinary people, who originally complained about the Yellow Turban Army, soon became obedient people and honestly built their new homes.
Although the base area has stabilized, Zhao Kong looks at the rapidly declining points every day, and the depression in his heart is simply beyond words.
If these points are used for their own cultivation, it will be fine.
But now they have to use it to buy grain, farm tools, and cattle...... These materials, which were originally available everywhere, really made Zhao Kong very irritable.
"No, no, it's okay to say the rest, but the grain will not be harvested until at least mid-September, and in more than a month, I'm afraid that 500,000 mouths will eat my 300,000 points!"
Zhao Kong thought in his heart with a sad face, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt pain.
Remember http://m for a second
It's not that he didn't think about going to the Central Plains to grab a few more waves, but in the past two years, natural and man-made disasters have continued in various places, and countless people have starved to death.
This year, because of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the food shortage in various places is even more exaggerated, if he robs the grain in a certain place but does not take the people away, what is the difference between killing them?
Although Zhao Kong did not hesitate to kill, and even had a large demand for souls, for ordinary people who did not stand on the opposite side, his Tianmang Divine Sword really couldn't cut it.
"By the way, there are so many fish and shrimp in the ocean in this era, if you are half food and half seafood, you should be able to save a lot of points!"
Zhao Kongmei stood up with a smile, and immediately summoned the officials under his command, as well as the newly appointed admirals, to discuss the matter of going out to sea to fish.
After everyone arrived, Zhao Kong talked about the idea of going out to sea to fish, and everyone in the humble hall was talking, and Cai Yong first stood up and supported:
"It's true that there is not much food recently, and if there is no more food source, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive the harvest time."
Cai Yong has been on Taiwan Island for four months, and he is quite satisfied with the environment here.
Especially after the completion of Zhaokong's cement plant, although the quality is not as good as modern cement, the steel bars have to be purchased by points, resulting in the inability to build high-rise buildings.
But three-storey buildings are blooming everywhere, and in just a few months, Hsinchu has begun to take on the atmosphere of a big city, and even better than Luoyang in terms of planning.
Cai Yongzhen has put in a lot of effort in this new city, and he has read more urban planning books during this time than he has read in his life, so he also hopes that Hsinchu City can be stable.
Huang Lang, who was arranged by Zhao Kong to go to the navy, stood up and said: "There is no problem for the navy to go to sea to fish, but I am afraid that the harvest every day will not help, right?" ”
Zhao Kong smiled and said, "I'll give you some special fishing nets when I go back, and you'll know when you use them." ”
Huang Lang didn't refute when he heard it, nodded and sat down.
For Zhao Kong taking out a large amount of materials at every turn, as well as many unheard of and unseen things, these people were already a little numb, and they didn't bother to explore how those things came from.
Zhao Kong sent it to them, they just used it, people who are too curious are easy to evaporate from the world!
"But a lot of seafood looks weird, and I don't know if the people can eat it, so you'd better do some publicity in advance, so as not to get it back and no one will eat it."
Zhao Kong deliberately reminded the civil officials led by Cai Yong that he didn't want the navy to waste all his hard work at that time.
Cai Yong waved his hand and said: "It's impossible that no one eats it, anyway, it's also meat, ordinary people can eat meat, where will they care about its appearance." When Yong was in the state, there were many things that happened in the year of natural disasters, not to mention some fish in the sea. ”
Zhao Kong smiled and nodded, the big foodie empire also has a tradition, especially in the era when people starve to death at every turn, as long as they can fill their stomachs, no one will care what the food looks like.
Sure enough, there was a serious surplus of fish in the sea in this era, and a large amount of fish could be dragged back by casually casting a net.
When dozens of sand boats of the navy returned with hundreds of tons of seafood, almost all the ordinary people on the shore who were organized to collect the fish were extremely excited.
At present, there are 500,000 people on Taiwan Island, but they are all from the Jiangnan region, and there are really very few who can't water.
Suddenly found that the fish in the sea were so easy to catch, and instantly their eyes were red and their hearts were hot, and they were ready to go back to the sea to fish.
Zhao Kong didn't stop this, but just asked the officials under his command to popularize the knowledge of the sea to those fishermen who wanted to go to sea.
Lest the fishermen who were carried away by interests rush into the deep sea in a small broken boat to die, these nearly 500,000 people are the foundation of Zhao Kong, and they can't afford too much loss.
"I still have to find a way to expand the population, but the Yellow Turban of the Central Plains is about to be destroyed, and at this time, it will do more harm than good to provoke the imperial court, so let's bully the little devil first."
At the end of September, the first batch of Shennong No. 1 rice planted was harvested, with an average yield of more than 1,200 catties per mu, which was completely beyond the cognition of people of this era.
Cai Yong, who had always regarded himself as a guest secretary before, looked at Zhao Kong completely differently after the grain was harvested.
In ancient China, agriculture has always been the foundation, and no matter how exaggerated the miracles are spread, they are not as convincing as this amazing grain production.
In recent days, there has even been a faint rumor among the people that Zhao Kong is the legendary son of Huang Tian, and it is only with the blessing of Huang Tian that such an incredible grain output has appeared.
The officials of the family, including Cai Yong, all believed this statement a little.
After four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there are indeed signs of overturning, and Zhao Kong, the son of the Yellow Sky, may really have a destiny?
With the bumper harvest of grain and a large amount of seafood, Taiwan Island instantly changed from a lack of grain to a surplus of grain, and in this case, Zhao Kong naturally wanted to continue to expand the population.
Since the imperial court is not suitable for provoking for the time being, Dongying, which is not far from Taiwan Island, has undoubtedly become the best target.
At this time, Dongying was still in a slave society, and hundreds of tribes with a population of thousands to tens of thousands were attacking each other endlessly, and they could not unite at all.
It wasn't until four years later that the queen of the Yamatai Kingdom, Himiko, gained the respect of all the ministries by pretending to be a god and stopped fighting for hundreds of years.
Moreover, those Dongying tribes are still using bronze until now, and their height and physique cannot be compared with the Central Plains people, and it will definitely not be very difficult for Zhao Kong to attack them at this time.
"Your main task this time is to defeat the Yamatai Kingdom on Dongying Kyushu Island, and then capture as many prisoners as possible."
"Although these widows are small in stature, they are very obedient and are very good slaves. There are also a large number of plains suitable for cultivation in the southern part of the island, which are just right for them to explore. ”
Since he decided to attack the Japanese state, Zhao Kong quickly summoned the generals of the navy and army under his command and assigned them combat tasks, which made the army who had been idle and panicked recently excited.
Zhao Kong, who attacked the Wa State, did not plan to lead the army himself, but just to train the generals under his command and prepare for returning to the Central Plains in the future.
"In addition to catching slaves, by the way, find a few obedient tribal leaders to bring back, and we will not be able to stay in the Wa Kingdom for a long time in the future, so it is necessary to support some obedient locals."
These generals under Zhao Kong's command are basically from the Yellow Turban Army, and there are really no characters who are both civil and military.
Even if Wu Xu, a small landlord, is at the level of reading through the Analects, he can't count on the overall situation.
Therefore, Zhao Kong must crumple and say a lot of things, lest these people do not know why and make a mess.
"Qu Shuai, since the country of the Japanese is often turned over, it is also a barren and barren land, in addition to catching some slaves, can you still get good things?"
Listening to Zhao Kong's detailed introduction to the situation of the Dongying islands, Wu Xu asked with some doubts.
"Heh, you just don't have knowledge, although the Dongying Islands are barren and often break out of natural disasters, they are rich in gold and silver, among which Iwami Silver Mountain and Sado Gold Mountain are mined, it will be much easier for us to deal with the imperial court."
Zhao Kong smiled and said, and did not hide the idea of wanting to ease up with the imperial court.
The news of Zhang Jiao's death came back two days ago, but fortunately, the core of the Yellow Turban Army on Taiwan Island had already been transformed into Zhao Kong, the commander of the Great Qu.
Although Zhang Jiao's death made many people regret, it did not affect the overall situation.
Therefore, Zhao Kong wanted to ease relations with the imperial court at this time, and almost no one raised objections.
"Okay, anyway, the country is not far from Taiwan Island, if you have something that you are really sure about, send someone back to ask me."
"Of course, you will not be subject to the life of the foreign monarch, just make your own decisions in an emergency, as long as it is not out of selfishness, even if the sky is broken, Ben Qu Shuai will make up for you!"
Zhao Kong advised, and when he saw the submissive appearance of the generals, he had to cheer them up, so as not to develop the character of the Song Dynasty generals and eventually become a group of waste.
Taiwan now has 20,000 navies and 50,000 armies, and the ratio of military to civilian has reached an astonishing level of 1:7.
Even with the amazing output of Shennong No. 1, such an exaggerated proportion is difficult to maintain for a long time, which is why Zhao Kong is in a hurry to attack Dongying and wants more labor.
In addition to the navy transporting troops, the army dispatched more than 30,000 troops, 10,000 veterans and 20,000 new soldiers, not only to catch slaves, but also to conduct a major military training.
Sending away the army of conquests, Zhao Kong prepared to go to the Central Plains in person.
Now there is a serious shortage of talents on Taiwan Island, and he has to ask him about all military and political matters, so Zhao Kong will not be able to cultivate well at all, and the time will be delayed in mundane affairs.
Zhao Kong had always felt that the identity of the Yellow Turban Army was difficult to gain the recognition of the scholars.
But after getting along with Cai Yong for a while, Zhao Kong felt that it was not bad to tie people up and go home first, and then let the other party compromise slowly!
In particular, some people who are aware of current affairs have no integrity to speak of.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhao Kong was the first to think of the poisonous man who was in trouble.
Although Jia Xu's reputation is still very small, he is also almost forty years old, and he is completely worthy!
Compared with Guo Jia, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, Xun Yu, who is less than twenty, and Zhuge Liang, who is still playing with mud, what Zhao Kong needs is a mature strategist like Jia Xu, not to mention that the other party is not a member of the family.
On this day, Jia Xu, who returned to Guzang's hometown to escape the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was drinking wine and chewing pickled soybeans in the wine shop.
Suddenly, a burly man strode into the wine shop.
As soon as he entered the store, the strong man threw a gold ingot to the shopkeeper.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a handful of broken silver and threw it casually to the more than a dozen tables of customers who were eating in the wine store, and landed accurately and steadily in the center of each table, but only Jia Xu in the corner was missing.
"Okay, I'm going to borrow this liquor store today, and everyone who gets the money will go out."
While speaking, the strong man picked up the bench casually, only to see him grab it violently, and the sturdy bench actually turned into a pile of wood powder and drifted away with the wind!
Seeing such a scene, the people who still had some opinions in the wine shop walked outside honestly.
The owner of the liquor store carefully put away the gold, and when he saw that the strong man motioned for him to go out too, he immediately exited the lobby with a smile on his face, and even helped the other party close the door.
The wine shop that was originally quite lively was left at the moment, and Jia Xu who was sitting in the corner drinking.
With Jia Xu's character of focusing on self-preservation, he has long wanted to leave this wine shop.
But his good spiritual cultivation was perceptible to a spiritual power stronger than him, tightly wrapped around him.
In addition, the strong man entered the door and threw silver, but deliberately missed his behavior, and the other party was obviously coming at him.
In this case, it is obviously impossible to get through the tricks, rather than being stopped and embarrassed by the other party, it is better to wait and see what the other party has for it.
Sure enough, the strong man walked across his table in three or two steps and sat down unceremoniously.
With a big hand, a wine jar more than ten meters away flew over, tore open the wine seal casually, and drank it by himself.
Although Jia Xu's best thing is to be patient, it is obviously not a good idea to drag on the situation in front of him.
After hesitating for a moment, Jia Xu picked up the wine cup, smiled and saluted the strong man opposite:
"I don't know what Your Excellency is looking for Jia?"
The strong man swallowed the pickled soybeans in his mouth, smiled and said:
"Chen is thinking about how to communicate with Mr. Wenhe."
This strong man is Zhao Kong, who flew all the way from the East China Sea to Liangzhou, although he is ready to stun the other party and tie him back to Taiwan Island.
But Zhao Kong still wanted to try if he could convince this chaotic poisoner first, so that he could save unnecessary time to boil the eagle.
Jia Xu listened to Zhao Kong's words, and was only stunned for a moment, then drank the wine in the cup with a smile, and said lightly.
"Jia is just a little cold, how can he be worthy of the title of Mr. Your Excellency."
Zhao Kong took another jar of wine, and gently patted the jar, and the wine in the jar turned into a white line and automatically flew into Jia Xu's wine cup.
"If Mr. Wenhe can't afford it, few people in today's world can't afford it!" Zhao Kong's eyes were blazing, and he said to Jia Xu with a serious face.
