In the ice and snow, a troop of cavalry roared over the snow, the snow on the ground swirled in the wind and fell to the ground again, and after a while, a chaotic line of horses' hoof prints was covered by the snow particles blown by the cold wind, as if there was no one here again!

Although it was no longer snowing, the cold wind was still as unbearable as a sharp blade, and each of the cavalrymen in this group was tightly wrapped up and down, not to mention that the mouth and nose were covered, and even the eyes were covered with a thin light veil, which greatly reduced the irritation of the cold wind to the eyes.

In addition, this team of cavalry has a total of more than 30 people, all of whom are one person and four horses, which is really a luxurious configuration, even if it is a Turkic who is good at raising horses, there are few such a high proportion of men and horses.

This cavalry set out from Yangwu City, constantly changing horses all the way, and continued to gallop forward along the plains along the coast of Wanshui, successively passing through Yongding City (Hailan Pao), Zhenjiang City (Songhua River Estuary), Sanjiang City (Boli), and then went south all the way through Linzhou City (near Zhenbao Island), and finally came to Zhenhai City along Wushui.

Although the distance from Yongding City to the south through Hecheng to Zhenhai is closer in a straight line on the map, because of the dense primeval forests in the land of Beji at this time, as well as large swamps and mountains, it is faster to walk along the banks of the big rivers and rivers.

Even if this cavalry hurried all the way, when they came to Zhenhai City, the time was still firmly into May, when there were still three days before the Dragon Boat Festival, and there were people preparing to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival all the way, and a large number of merchants with a keen sense of smell had already prepared various festival supplies, attracting a large number of children to watch.

This group of cavalry was obviously very familiar with the scene in front of them, and they didn't look too much, and walked resolutely towards Zhenhai City, and soon disappeared into the bustling crowd.

······

In the palace of Zhenhai Wang, Wang Ze is taking a family of several people of all sizes to make zongzi, all these years have been busy every day, and finally found some time to accompany his family, in order to make the two baby daughters happy, Wang Ze simply decided to make the zongzi he ate at home with his own family, and they could get together together.

Not only is Wang Ze's family of five here, but also Wang Ze's second brother Wang Hui and third brother Wang Yu, and even Zhu Bofu and Cheng Hu, two sworn brothers and eldest brothers, also brought their families to join in the fun.

With so many children here, it will definitely not be quiet, Wang Ze's eldest daughter Wang Feng followed her mother Cheng Xueyan's quietness and quietly followed her mother to learn to make zongzi, and the second daughter Wang Xuan was more domineering, relying on her one year older than her uncle Zhu Bofu's son, and bullied a little boy to tears, but thinking of Zhu Bofu's usual lesson, she didn't dare to cry.

Seeing that Wang Feng, the eldest of the two daughters, was already more than four years old, Cheng Xueyan and Zhu Qingqing's stomachs finally bulged again, which made them finally feel a little relieved, even if Wang Ze comforted them again, it would be difficult to feel at ease if they didn't give birth to a son.

said that it was a family making zongzi, in fact, Cheng Xueyan, Zhu Qingqing, and the wives of Zhu Bofu and Cheng Hu were the main forces, Wang Ze and Zhu Bofu, Cheng Hu, and his two younger brothers were more chatting about some wars in the Central Plains, and several people were full of emotion that their fathers were in their forties and nearly fifty years old.

In recent years, several elders have continued to develop, and the population of the land of Sanqi has once again recovered to more than 2 million, and they have also established an army of more than 200,000 people with the strong support of Wang Ze, and they are practicing day and night in order to attack Northern Qi again in the future.

The free time is always short, this side has just put the first pot of zongzi into the pot, and Puyang Yiwu over there appeared in Wang Ze's sight, looking at Wang Ze and his family finally had some time, although Puyang Yiwu also knew that he had disturbed them, but thinking of the urgency of the military situation, he still walked in a little crampedly.

"Uncle Puyang, don't snatch Daddy away!" As soon as Puyang Yiwu walked in, he was hugged by Wang Ze's second daughter Wang Xuan, which made him speechless for a while, and he didn't know when he had become such a person in the eyes of Wang Ze's children.

Wang Ze and the others were also dumbfounded by Wang Xuan, and while persuading Wang Xuan to leave, he asked over and over again: "Captain Puyang, what's going on?" ”

He knew that there was no important matter in Puyang Yiwu and would definitely not be reported today, and the general literary affairs were directly dealt with by Liu Xin, Yang Ku, Lu Wen, Xiao Jing, and other scholars, and only relatively large military affairs would directly find him here.

Sure enough, as Wang Ze expected, Puyang Yiwu whispered to Wang Ze for a while, and Wang Ze suddenly said: "I didn't expect Jiang Chuan to be bold enough, but as long as we don't alarm the Turks, none of us are afraid!" You hurry up and summon Liu Shangshu, Yang Shangshu, and the generals of the Zhonghu Army to come to the tiger's den to discuss matters! ”

In less than an hour, all the generals of the Central Protection Army, including Liu Xin, Yang Ku, Lu Wen, Xiao Jing and other scholars, were all called to the Tiger's Den Command Center in Wang Ze's Palace.

Wang Ze stood in front of the huge sand table, and used a long mahogany pole to aim along the water, but he was speechless for a long time, so that everyone didn't know what he was thinking.

"Mr. Liu!" Just when everyone didn't know what Wang Ze was thinking, he suddenly spoke, "Do you think that the conditions for our current immigration to Wanshui can be met?" "Book bar

Everyone immediately understood Wang Ze's thoughts, but Liu Xin and Yang Ku, who heard this, couldn't help frowning, obviously not supporting Wang Ze's proposal very much.

Liu Xin paused, and then stepped forward and seriously persuaded Wang Ze: "Your Majesty, although it is indeed a good thing that my country has vast land and tens of millions of cultivated land, Your Majesty must also remember that it is too late!" ”

He walked up to Wang Ze and picked up another mahogany pole and pointed to the East China Sea area on the sand table and said to Wang Ze: "Your Majesty, you see, now our Xia Kingdom is thousands of miles, but there are only five million people in the whole country, and this still includes those women of different races and those who belong to foreign races!" ”

He said with a straight face: "Your Majesty look again!" At present, there are only 300,000 people in Qinjin County, 120,000 in Ha County, 100,000 in Jeju County, 250,000 in Jangju, and 150,000 people in Hu County, Chiseok County, and Lingdeng County each with a smaller population!

Further north, Pingyang County has 400,000 people because of the cultivated land, Taizhou County has 250,000 herdsmen, Whale County has more than 400,000 people, Sakhalin County has 150,000 people, and the Kuril Islands and the more northern islands of Elephant Island and the Beidi Islands add up to only 30,000 people! ”

Liu Xin looked at Wang Ze and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the original ten counties of our East China Sea have such a vast land, which is the size of three three Qi lands, but there are only more than 2.5 million people, if some of the people here are relocated, it will greatly affect the local order and stability!"

At present, there are 300,000 people in Yizhou (including the Ryukyu Islands), 150,000 people in Luhan County, and only 100,000 people in other cities in Nanyang! In addition, we need at least more than 100,000 people in Dingrong City, Pearl Islands, Bixia Island, and Zhiyuan Islands in the Western Ocean, but there are only 60,000 or 70,000 people at present, and they will continue to increase in the future!

Your Majesty, in this way, we need at least 3.5 million people just to stabilize these places, and at present, our people in the land of Beji are mainly distributed in Zhenhai, Jiangkou, and Sanjiang counties, mainly along the mixed river and Wushui, even the difficult water basin is relatively small, if it is difficult to move the people there again! ”

After Liu Xin finished speaking, Yang Ku also stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Liu said is right, in addition, we have been moving people before, and now most of the people are finally getting better, if they are allowed to migrate again, I am afraid they will have to take several years to catch their breath!" Please think twice, Your Majesty! ”

With such two bigwigs to speak, no matter how unhappy the junior generals of the Zhonghu Army were, they didn't dare to speak, for fear of being caught by the two old gentlemen and educated.

Wang Ze was also silent for a long time, his eyes stared back and forth on the sand table, while Liu Xin and Yang Ku had been staring at Wang Ze nervously, if Wang Ze really wanted to do this again, I am afraid that this time the treasury of Xia State, which had been restored with great difficulty, would bottom out again.

The only thing that made the two of them feel a little relieved was that in the past, as long as the two of them jointly opposed something, Wang Ze basically listened to the two of them, but why is Wang Ze so hesitant today?

"Today I received an urgent report, it was Jiang Chuan who fought with the Tiele people at the upper reaches of the water! Destroy the bones of the servants! Wang Ze looked up at Liu Xin and Yang Ku, and while telling the two of them, he also pointed to the location of the Omuro Wei Department and the Servant Bone Department with a wooden pole.

This comparison immediately frightened the two old gentlemen, but they knew that the location of the servant bones was relatively close to the Turks, and if they really provoked the Turks, wouldn't it be worse?

Wait! Jiang Chuan, this kid, don't really provoke the Turks, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Xin and Yang Ku's faces were even more embarrassed, no wonder Wang Ze was about to make a big move again, and the two of them suddenly said anxiously: "Oh, how can General Jiang Chuan be like this!" The Turks are not easy to provoke, we must prepare in advance! ”

What comforted Wang Ze was that although the two old gentlemen were dissatisfied with Jiang Chuan's provocation of the Turks, no one said that they would hand over Jiang Chuan to the Turks to apologize, but actively prepared various combat preparations.

After Wang Ze explained Jiang Chuan's preparations in detail, the two old gentlemen finally knew that they were overly worried, but they still complained that it was too risky!

Wang Ze said to the two of them: "Although Jiang Chuan has escaped this catastrophe, but in the future, we will inevitably fight more and more with the Turks and Tiele people, if we don't prepare in advance, we will be passive in the future, Jiang Chuan is now building Yangwu City just stuck in the throat of the steppe after the water is finished, and it is also our first line of defense against the Turks!"

Therefore, I think it is better to occupy it as soon as possible, and then gradually develop the Wanshui Basin, so that our land in the north of Beji Land will be a solid backing for the future against the Turks, otherwise Yangwu City will be a little alone after all! ”

Hearing what Wang Ze said so much, Liu Xin and Yang Ku no longer insisted on opposing it, after all, compared to the barren counties of the East China Sea, the wealth of the land of Beji is the future of the long-term development of the Xia Kingdom, and it is the most stupid to give up the future for the sake of a little immediate benefit.

Liu Xin looked at Wang Ze squarely and said, "I just don't know how Your Majesty is going to relocate the people?" Is it still the principle of inducement and voluntariness? ”
