In Jiaozhi County, a fairly fat New Year has just passed, and Wang Shiji is also quite satisfied with the performance of the heroes of Jiaozhi County.

Most of these local powerful people were the side branches of the ministers and families of the Southern Dynasty stationed in Lingnan, and after the unification of the Sui Dynasty, because they lost their strong political position during the Southern Dynasties, they were quite obedient to the imperial court.

Although Emperor Wen of Sui tried his best to promote the Han nationality, he mainly vigorously improved the status of the Han people in the north, but the power of the Han people in the Southern Dynasty was mainly suppressed.

Therefore, these families in Lingnan lost the umbrella of the Southern Dynasties, when Wang Shiji, the general manager of the Jiaozhou march on behalf of the Great Sui Imperial Court, arrived, he actually harvested 1,000 taels of gold and more than 3,000 taels of silver in the short period of more than half a month in Jiaozhi County, and other copper coins and property could not be counted at all.

In addition, the heroes of Jiaozhi County sponsored as much as 70,000 or 80,000 stones of rice as military rations, nearly 1,000 other cattle, and more than 5,000 pigs.

In fact, the Haoqiang of Jiaozhi County paid such a large amount of capital not only to pat his ass, but also because the originally good relationship between the Xia forces of Rinan County and the Haoqiang of Jiaozhi County has finally come to an end with the change of interests.

Originally, when developing Lingnan Jiaotong and Guangzhou, Wang Ze provided a lot of assistance to these heroes, and these heroes also provided a lot of benefits to the expansion of Xia Kingdom here.

However, with the passage of time, the Xia Kingdom power developed and grew strongly in Rinan County, and some Lingnan Haoqiang, who also intended to develop here, were successively squeezed out of Rinan County, which became more and more prosperous.

Originally, as the most remote county in the entire Southern Dynasty, Rinan County turned out to be a wilderness except for the interests of maritime trade, and there was also the attack of the remnants of the Linyi Kingdom in the Gujiluo region in the south, and the Southern Dynasty Haoqiang at that time did not look at this land very much.

Therefore, Wang Ze had the opportunity to secretly acquire most of the land in Ninan County, but with the gradual weakening of the remnants of the Linyi Kingdom and the gradual construction of Rinan County by the forces of the Xia Kingdom, the economy of Ninan County quickly surpassed that of Jiuzhen County and Jiaozhi County in the north in 20 years.

In this way, there is a dispute between the two sides, the fertile field is not cultivated and no one cares, and the thin field is cultivated and everyone fights, Wang Ze controlled the population of Rinan County of nearly 100,000 people, and before the fall of the Southern Dynasty, it attracted nearly 200,000 Han people, it can be said that the population of the entire Jiaozhou, Rinan County accounted for more than half, more than Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County combined.

As Rinan County prospered, there were other Haoqiang who wanted to expand to Rinan County, but how dare Wang Biao and others, who had made a lot of arrangements here, let these Haoqiang come in, once these people came, the matter of building weapons and training the army here would inevitably not be kept secret.

So under Wang Ze's instructions, Wang Biao continued to squeeze out the Lingnan Haoqiang who developed to Rinan County, so that these Lingnan Haoqiang of Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County lost a lot of money, food, and even manpower, so that the two sides gradually formed a feud.

The other party also began to carry out a large number of counterattacks against the Xia forces, not only the Xia merchant ships going to some ports in Lingnan would be affected, but even some of the plantations that Wang Ze had arranged in Jiaozhi County and Lingnan Guangzhou and other places in the past were squeezed out and even attacked by these powerful people.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Ze had secretly arranged several manors in Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County, I am afraid that even a few manors here would not be able to be kept, so the grudge between the two sides would be getting bigger and bigger after several exchanges, but Wang Ze was busy with a series of wars, and he didn't have the energy to care about things here, so the contradiction could not be resolved.

The Jiaozhou heroes did not retaliate more strongly after Wang Biao prevented him from entering Rinan County, so after these people saw that they had no way to meddle in Rinan County, they had no choice but to stop and operate their own one-acre and three-point land first.

But this time, with the arrival of the army led by Wang Shiji, the heroes of Jiaozhi County suddenly found that they seemed to be able to use the army of the imperial court to expel and eliminate the Xia forces of Rinan County, so that if the imperial court wants to run Rinan County in the future, wouldn't these interests fall into the hands of their own people?

Only then did they actively give Wang Shiji a large amount of money and grain, pigs and cattle and other grains, but Wang Shiji misunderstood these heroic reactions, and only thought that others were trying to cling to him, so the two sides went to the front line in this small misunderstanding.

When the capital of Zhenla Kingdom, Yishana Buluo City, was broken by Wei Sheng's troops, Wang Shiji had just led an army of 150,000 troops from Jiaozhi County to the south, and the good situation that could have been flanked by the remnants of Zhenla Kingdom and Linyi Kingdom from the north and south was missed by him.

Wang Shiji didn't know that he had missed a good opportunity, and then he regretted it very much, he was riding on his horse and looking at his surroundings.

Wang Shiji knew through history books that until the late reign of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu, the remote Jiaozhou and Guangzhou were still wild places with sparse Han people, barren, swamps and dense forests.

But now, since I entered the boundary of Lingnan Guangzhou, what I saw was rice fields everywhere, if Guangzhou is relatively close to the Central Plains, it can be said that it can be said that it has been developed, but even the more remote Jiaozhi County is now full of fertile rice fields that have been reclaimed.

After entering Jiaozhi County, Wang Shiji found that there would be a small village basically every seven or eight miles on this large plain, generally about 1,000 people, and the village was protected by a wall built of trees, mud and stone, which was very safe.

Around the village, there are large rice fields, most of which are still growing rice seedlings just after the New Year, and only a few rice fields are not cultivated for some reason, with a few fat buffaloes lying in them, and a few birds of unknown species foraging in the nearby water.

No, although he should be happy to look at the rice fields all over the place, the more Wang Shiji thinks about it, the more he feels that it is not a taste!

From entering Jiaozhi County to now, how many hundreds of thousands of rice fields have you seen?

When he was in Nanhai County before, Wei Wei once said to himself that the rice fields in Jiaozhou and Guangzhou could grow three crops of rice a year.

In this way, based on the fact that one stone of rice can be harvested per season per acre of land, these rice fields in Jiaozhi County alone can harvest at least millions of stone rice a year.

However, before, these heroes in Jiaozhi County only gave themselves seventy or eighty thousand stone of grain, looking at a lot of food, but now they have more than 100,000 troops under their command, and each person has to eat more than two catties or even three catties of grain a day, and this 100,000 stone rice is more than a month's consumption.

Although he was unhappy, Wang Shiji also knew that he still needed the help of these Jiaozhi County heroes, so it was a big deal to wait for him to ask them for some food after a while.

Thinking in his heart, suddenly there was a confusion in the team marching in front, and from time to time a lieutenant ran over, and he panted and said: "Chief Administrator, there are more than a dozen brothers in front of him who are suffering from heat stroke, and this will be giving them a decoction to prevent heat heat!" ”

"Let them rest on the side of the road, leave a team of brothers to watch over them, and we will continue on the march!" Wang Shiji was not moved at all, because he had become accustomed to it along the way.

When the Sui army set out from Guanzhong, it was already winter in Guanzhong, so these soldiers from the north were wearing thick cotton robes, because Wang Yong promoted cotton planting in Sanqi, and with the Xia army losing Sanqi, cotton planting technology was also mastered by the Sui Dynasty, and now cotton has been circulated within the Sui Dynasty.

The popularity of cotton robes was very conducive to the improvement of the Sui army's winter combat capability, but when they suddenly came from the cold north to the hot Lingnan, such thick clothes were sinful.

In ancient times, it was not like the later generations that could provide a large number of clothes for tens of thousands of troops at any time, and basically most of the soldiers had to bring their own clothes, except for the 50,000 troops provided by Wei Huan, as well as the 50,000 troops of the Xian family, the other 50,000 soldiers who came from Guanzhong had the intention of suffering from heat stroke.

If it weren't for the fact that the local doctors in Lingnan had already had experience in treating heat stroke in the north, I am afraid that the number of losses of the Sui army this time was not a minority, and after knowing this, Wang Shiji, who did not have much experience in Lingnan warfare, was surprised, and he was also afraid for a while.

Thinking of this, Wang Shiji couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat, and after seeing many Guanzhong soldiers put their armor and weapons on the accompanying baggage vehicles, wearing only a thin shirt, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Jiaozhi County is also the Red River Plain in northern Vietnam in later generations, and most of the terrain in the alluvial plain is relatively flat, even if the local roads are not smooth, but the 150,000 Sui troops still quickly entered the boundary of Jiuzhen County from Jiaozhi County.

Jiuzhen County is mainly along the eastern coastal plain of the Changshan Mountain Range, not only the flat land is long and narrow, but even the rivers developed in the Changshan Mountain Range are more dense and turbulent, in the past, because of the struggle between the Xia power of Ninan County and the powerful of Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County was the least populated county in Jiaozhou.

When the population is small, there will be less investment in infrastructure, so many rivers are simply laid with one or two tree trunks, and some wooden planks are casually laid to become a bridge for traffic, such a bridge is okay for a few people, but the traffic army is not enough.

The coastal plain here is much narrower, and the army mainly advances along the road by the sea, and the 200,000 army actually pulls out a team dozens of miles long, which adds a lot of trouble to the advance of the Sui army.

It seems that the farther south they go, the more strange the environment facing the Sui army becomes, and the people of Jiuzhen County are no longer very welcoming to these Sui troops that affect them.

"If it weren't for the order of the chief manager, Lao Tzu would have ordered the whole village to be slaughtered!" A Sui military captain looked angrily at a stockade not far away, the stockade was not friendly, although it provided some food, but even the door of the village was unwilling to open.

Although Wang Shiji was not happy, this time he was responsible for recovering the hearts of the local people, so he could only force his displeasure and continue to go south.

At the end of January of the 32nd year of the Xia calendar, he finally saw the boundary of Rinan County, which was Rinan County, and across the river was the scope of Rinan County, which was called Nanyue in later generations, but now he is still China's inherent territory.
