"Li Nong, the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is indeed not, it has Yang, Jing, Jiang, Guangzhou, Jiao, Henan, Xu, Yan, Yi, Ning seven prefectures, and Yan, Qing, Hebei, Si, You, And, Yi and other overseas Chinese states, a total of fifteen states. The territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty extends to Zhoushan and Wuxing in the east, from Hanyuan and Dadu River in the west, to Nanyang and Hanzhong in the north, and to Hepu and the South China Sea in the south, with more than 5,000 miles from north to south and more than 10,000 miles from east to west. ”

Ran Min said lightly: "With such a large territory, it is indeed a fool's dream for 200,000 troops to want to annex it." ”

The Eastern Jin Dynasty inherited the Western Jin Dynasty, and also implemented the three-level system of state, county and county. However, the more states and counties are divided, and the jurisdiction is shrinking.

In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of displaced people crossed to the south. In order to appease the overseas Chinese and the overseas Chinese family, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court used the name of the original state and county to send it to other places, but there was no field, which was the county of Qiaozhou.

After the settlement is settled, the land is broken, so that the state and county have the field, and the household registration and service are the same as those of the general state and county. The political districts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty increased and decreased with the changes in their territory.

Due to foreign invasions and the Northern Expedition of the Jin Army, the northern frontier changed from time to time.

As far as Ran Min knows, the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is indeed not, Jiaozhou in the southwest is the later Vietnam, and Ningzhou includes the later Yunnan, Sichuan, and even Myanmar and part of India.

It would have been impossible to completely occupy these places without an army of more than half a million men. Of course, we can't ignore the factors of some Jin civil and military forces opening the city and surrendering, so that the Wei army can destroy the Jin more easily.

But Ran Min thinks that you can't leave anything to chance!

Hearing this, the ministers who did not approve of the destruction of the Jin Dynasty were overjoyed.

But Li Nong and the others were still unwilling, and they were all anxious: "Your Majesty, destroying Jin at this time is a good opportunity that will be difficult to hide for eternity!" Once you miss it, when the Jin Kingdom relaxes, I don't know what year and month it will take to destroy this huge Jin Kingdom! ”

"yes, yes! Your Majesty think twice! ”

"Your Majesty, as long as you have 100 good generals and 100,000 elite soldiers, you can break Jiankang and destroy Jin in one battle!"

Seeing that all the generals asked for battle, Ran Min was very relieved.

"Everyone, I know your fighting spirit, but it is indeed not a good opportunity to destroy Jin at this time. Just like Cui Hao's talent, even if such a behemoth Jin Kingdom is destroyed, such a vast territory, so many cities, and so many people, what will we use to govern Dawei? After years of war, the soldiers were exhausted and the treasury was empty. The Eastern Jin Dynasty is indeed fateful. ”

Ran Min said lightly: "Having said that, you can't help but pursue the victory." In this way, I will raise an army of 200,000 people, break Jiankang, and take the land east of the Jin Kingdom! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Ran Min's approach can convince hundreds of officials.

As Ran Min said, the territory of the Jin State was too vast, and even if the Wei army really destroyed the Jin State and occupied its territory, it would not be able to govern so many places for a while. In fact, this is not the most important, more serious problem, or the Jin Dynasty has been established for 87 years, and the idea of Shirao Zhongjun is deep-rooted, and it still has a certain influence among the various families.

It is better to convince people with power than to convince people with virtue and convince people with reason!

If Ran Min wants to completely eradicate civil strife and truly unify the country, he must solve this thorny problem. It's easy to destroy the Jin, but it's really too difficult to sit firmly on this country!

Moreover, the Wei State is not ready to destroy the Jin Dynasty at present, and in a hurry, there will be many things that cannot be considered properly, which is very likely to cause serious consequences.

But just like that, he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue and win more territory in one fell swoop, and Ran Min was really unwilling.

The land of Jiangdong in Ran Min's mouth is actually Yangzhou and Xuzhou in the Jin Kingdom, as well as four overseas Chinese states including Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Youzhou. In fact, these overseas Chinese states were used to settle the displaced people in the north, and they were just one city.

After capturing Jiangdong, the only advantage of the Jin State in the face of the Wei State - the Yangtze River trench will be gone. In the future, the Wei army can condescendingly attack the territory of the Jin State and gain the first opportunity and absolute advantage!

Just when Ran Min was preparing to regain the lost territory and attack the Jin State on a large scale, Pu Jing and Yao Xiang Errao's troops had already crossed the Yangtze River, and the army of 100,000 Hu people surrounded the entire Jiankang City.

In the past, Yao Xiang and Pu Jing fought for Guanzhong, and Yao Xiang forced away Pu Jing and the Di people in the land of Sanqin, but it didn't take long for even Yao Xiang and his Qiang tribe to be driven out of Guan Zheng by Ran Min

These two can be described as brothers and sisters, once enemies, once allies, and once colleagues, but the intrigue between them has never stopped.

In the battle of the chasm, they turned their backs on the Jin army and the Jin state, and resolutely led their troops to withdraw from the battlefield. As soon as the two of them combined, it is estimated that Ran Min will not be able to tolerate them when they defect to the Wei State, and they will defect to the Jin State, and the Jin State will also regard them as "enemies", and they are no longer human beings inside and out.

Therefore, as soon as Pu Jing and Yao Xiang pondered, they decided to join forces and raise 100,000 troops to attack Jiankang City.

This Jiankang is the capital of the Jin Kingdom, very prosperous, break through the city, you will be able to harvest a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and the army's food and salary will not be a problem!

Taicheng Imperial Palace, Council Palace.

Chu Lianzi no longer stayed behind the curtain, but walked to the dragon chair and sat down with Emperor Sima Dan in his arms, looking quite haggard. And the ministers of the Jin Kingdom are like frightened birds, one by one, they are talking to each other, whispering, and shaking their heads and sighing from time to time.

Originally, the defeat of the chasm and the news of the annihilation of the main force of hundreds of thousands of Jin troops had already fallen into a thunderbolt, which made the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State feel pressure, and their bodies were like falling into an ice cellar, but now the news of the siege of the Hu army is more like an urgent need, making these ministers as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, right now, Pu Jing and Yao Xiang's subordinates have surrounded Jiankang City. They claim to be 300,000 troops, which may not be that much, but not much! How to resolve this crisis now, I would like to ask you to come up with a feasible idea. ”

Hearing Chu Garliczi's words, the ministers didn't dare to speak, and kept silent, as if they hadn't heard it.

Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, couldn't escape, so he had to stand up and say: "Queen Mother, the Hu army is menacing, and I can't afford to bear that there are not many soldiers to fight in my Jiankang City, the strength of the Imperial Forest Army, the Sili Captain's Department, the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden, the Patrol Battalion and other departments are only more than 10,000 people, and most of them are old and weak, and many soldiers can't even get together a complete set of armor, such an army can't fight at all!" ”

Chu Garlic frowned slightly: "Can't you continue to recruit the division of King Qin to the local government?" ”

Sima Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Queen Mother, it's not that the ministers are discouraged. Where is there any fighting force in my Great Jin now? In the battle with Wei, the Great Jin Dynasty almost threw all the soldiers who could fight into it, and now they are all wiped out, and so far, there are only more than 1,000 defeated soldiers who have fled back! The remaining armies were Sima Xun's troops in Liangzhou, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers in Han Bashu and Jiangling. This kind of place is too far away from Jiankang to solve the urgent need. ”

This is still Sima Yu's ease of affairs, even if the army of King Qin of the Jin Kingdom can arrive, I am afraid that he will not be able to defeat this Hu army. If there is no force, even the combat power is not of the same level.

"Is it the death of my Great Jin?" Chu Garlic's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Sima Yu said again: "Queen Mother, the matter has not reached this serious point, don't be too pessimistic!" ”

"What else does King Huiji have in mind?"

"This ......"

Sima Yu wanted to speak and stopped, but at this time, Danyang Yin Liu Yan stood up and said, "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that there is still room for maneuver in the matter. ”

"What is Lord Liu's good plan?"

In the face of such a predicament, the minister believes that the imperial court should make three preparations. First, test the bottom line of Pu Jing and Yao Xiang Errao to see if there is room for mediation. The imperial court can canonize Pu Jing as the Duke of Wuping County, the Assassin of Jiaozhou, and the General of Zhenxi, holding festivals, and guarding Jiaozhou; Canonized Yao Xiang as the Duke of Nanhai County, the Assassin of Guangzhou, and the General of Zhennan, holding the festival and guarding Guangzhou. At the same time, you can also reward the two of them with some treasures and reward the three armies. ”

"What if these two thieves don't accept the reward from the imperial court?" Chu Garlic's face was very solemn and authentic.

"Yao Xiang and Pu Jing don't accept it, then the imperial court must make adequate preparations in advance."

"Second, the imperial court can completely recruit the people in the city, issue weapons and ordnance, and let them stick to Jiankang City together, and even the Zhuang households of each scholar family can be dispatched and temporarily incorporated into the new army."

Liu Yan said solemnly: "The Hu army does not have siege equipment, and it is not good at attacking the city, so it has to defend properly. ”

At this time, Sima Yu also nodded and said, "Not bad." This suggestion is very good! The subordinates under the command of Pu Jing and Yao Xiang are all Di people and Qiang people, these Hu people are extremely vicious, wild and untamable, once they break through Jiankang City, they are bound to rape and plunder, and do all kinds of evil! The people should have heard of it, so they will definitely assist the imperial army in defending the city. ”

"Good! In that case, you will be in charge of guarding the city. ”

"Obey."

Yin Hao, who was recommended by himself, had a problem, which led to the annihilation of the 680,000 Jin troops on the front line, and the honest Sima Yu was very weak-hearted, but fortunately, Chu Lianzi was not ready to settle accounts after the autumn, and gave him such a chance to make meritorious contributions and make up for his merits, Sima Yu didn't want to be ordered directly.

Liu Yi continued: "There is one more thing. Queen Mother, the war is full of many variables, what if Jiankang City is broken? Please Your Majesty and the Queen Mother prepare their cars and patrol the place at any time. ”

It's not that Liu Yi is singing about the Jin Army, but that things are indeed critical to this point.

This is the autumn of the crisis of survival!

"Hunting? Where's the hunt? ”

"It's all up to the Queen Mother's ruling!" This Liu Yi didn't dare to suggest.

In fact, there are not many places where the Jin Kingdom can patrol and hunt, and there are not many places where the capital can be moved.

One Chengdu, one Jiangling, one Nanchang, and these three places are still worse than the other. Anyway, with the fall of Jiankang, the rich six counties of Jiangdong basically can't be saved, and only by turning to Bashu or Jingzhou can the Jin State be stabilized.
