"Big brother, big brother!" A young player ran over excitedly.

"Shut up, there are only soldiers in the barracks!" Xu Lie said with a cold face.

"Yes, General!" The young general immediately restrained his smile and gave a serious military salute.

After seeing the young general salute, Xu Lie glared at him angrily, and then said, "Say, what's the trouble again?" ”

The young general looked around, and then whispered: "Big brother, I didn't get into trouble, we caught a big fish this time!" ”

"What a big fish and a small fish! Done with the business that was handed over to you? Xu Lie said with an ugly face. For his younger brother, he is also a little helpless, as the youngest son of the family, he has been favored since he was a child, but fortunately, he did not raise a gentleman, this time against the Han country, he didn't want him to come, but this kid actually went to ask the king for his life, to join the navy.

"That's it." Xu Hong said, and then whispered to Xu Lie: "Big brother, we caught Han Hou this time!" ”

"Han Hou?" Xu Lie's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Isn't the Marquis of Han in Linhuai?" How did it get here? ”

Xu Lie's navy originally planned to intercept those Han nobles who went south, but they didn't expect to catch the Han Marquis, which is a great achievement!

"Listen to his entourage, General Wei broke through Linhuai in a battle, and the Marquis of Han escaped from the secret passage of the palace city and led people south to Wu State! And then we caught it! Xu Hong said.

"Big brother, what should I do with this marquis?"

"It's indeed a great achievement to catch the Marquis of Han, but if the Marquis of Han is alive, it is not a good thing for us to annex the Han Kingdom! When the time comes, according to his treatment as a prince, he can't be killed, and he still wants to divide the feudal provinces and destroy the country! Xu Lie thought about it and said.

"Then let him drown! Anyway, in a water war, it's too normal to kill a few people! Xu Hong said: "I'll arrange a few people to do things!" ”

Saying that, Xu Hong was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait!" Xu Hong turned his head and looked at his brother suspiciously.

"You take care of the rest, and I'll take care of that." Xu Hong was about to object, but Xu Lie glared at him and said directly: "This is a military order!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Hong bowed unwillingly, and then turned to leave.

Xu Lie knew that it was not a trivial matter to kill the princes without permission. Even if he is a prince, it is not so easy to pass, so he can't let Xu Hong do it.

The Xu family also comes from the surname of the son, which is the descendant of Wang Tao, the prime minister of the Huai State, and his mother was the daughter of the daughter of the monarch of Xu Guojun who married the daughter of the public office, and was the wife of King Wen Teng, so he later changed his name to Xu. As an office, the Xu family is in the same breath as Huaiguo, and even if he is punished, it will not be serious.

......

The army conquered Hanguo, and the battle report of Hanhou's drowning was soon sent to Huaiguo, and even the true death of Hanhou was also informed. Regarding Xu Lie's approach, Wang Zhao's heart moved slightly, Han Hou died if he died, and things would be better.

"Your Majesty, General Wei received your order, led the army to set off, and amassed troops on the border, Han Yue, the general of Han Guo, led the army to confront, and the army confronted each other for a month, and the nobles of Han State exploited the people, causing the people to flee.

General Wei accepted the people and gave them good land and houses, and the people were obedient, so he was willing to serve the army and summon them to the Han army. The heart of the Han army was shaken, Han Yue could not be governed, and the army rioted.

General Wei took advantage of the situation to attack, broke Hanyue, beheaded 4,000, surrendered 23,000 people, and captured and killed 15 nobles. The general of the guard set out the whole army and marched for two days to encircle the capital of Linhuai.

At this time, the people of Linhuai could not bear the oppression, and rioted angrily, attacking and killing the nobles, the morale of the defenders of Handu plummeted, panicked, General Wei ordered the army to attack the city, and the Han capital was broken, and the people ate pot pulp to welcome the king!

In this battle, 4,000 were beheaded, 12,000 were surrendered, 37 nobles were captured, and our army suffered very few casualties!

In addition, Xu Lie, the commander of the navy, reported that 3,000 sailors of our army went out to fight, broke the Hanguo navy, captured 17 large boats and 50 small boats, collected 1,700 people, captured a total of 47 sons and daughters of the Hanguo government, and the marquis of Han fell into the water and drowned. ”

After hearing the battle report, the ministers in the hall were swaying, Han is not those Huaiyi tribes, its soldiers are sharp, and they are also famous among the nations, if it is not for the population is smaller, Han is also a strong country.

At the beginning, the ministers were not optimistic about the monarch's annexation of Hanguo, but they just cooperated with the king's order. But the result was so brilliant.

The Han State was destroyed, and the territory of the Huai State directly increased by one-third, and more importantly, the Huai State had stable mines and a large number of excellent craftsmen.

The nobles of the Han State amassed a large amount of wealth through grain, and then they were wiped out by the Huai State. Wang Lin still has to thank these nobles, he bears the infamy, exploits the people, collects wealth like crazy, and finally gives him all the property selflessly, let him take out a part of it and distribute it to the people, and then get the support of the people, this is how selfless it is, so these nobles were buried by Wang Lin.

In addition to returning the land of the nobles in the Han Kingdom, some of them were rewarded to meritorious officials, and some of them became the land of the royal family.

The craftsmen of Han were ordered by Wang Lin to migrate to Huai'an, and these craftsmen had advanced casting technology and could not flow into other countries.

It only took a few days to conquer the Han State, but it would take years or even more than ten years to annex and digest the Han State. But fortunately, when the Han Kingdom fell, the riotous operation of the nobles and the public office of the Han State made the people of the Han Kingdom extremely disgusted. After the Huai State divided the land and grain, it soon returned to the Huai State.

In addition to the common people, in order to prevent turmoil and even rebellion in the Han State, Wang Lin ordered all the nobles of the Han State to be moved into the Huai State and dispersed them, and the land of these nobles was also replaced by the land of the Huai State.

After this operation, Han Guo had no power to resist at all. On the other side, a large number of mulberry trees are planted on the land of Hanguo. Wang Lin did not let them all be cut down, after all, it takes several years for mulberry trees to grow, and it would be a pity to cut them down.

More importantly, if these mulberry trees are used to raise silkworms, the silk production of Huai will increase rapidly, and when the time comes, these silks will be traded with other countries, and the profits will be huge, and the silk of Huaiyang is famous. As for farmland, there is a lot of wasteland in the wilderness, and the people are encouraged to reclaim it.

So Wang Lin left the vast majority of mulberry trees, as for the mulberry trees planted on the people's farmland is to exchange the same area of cultivated land, and then the edict encourages pioneering, a household can open up 30 acres, these 30 acres of farmland can be exempt from tax for five years, and after five years, only half of the tax will be collected.

At the same time, he also ordered the promotion of cattle farming, because of the shortage of grain in Han, Wang Lin again let the caravan start to transport grain to Han, but this time it was not sold at a low price, but sold at a flat price.

After this edict was issued, the Han State quickly settled down, and after the import of grain, cattle, salt and other commodities, it developed rapidly.

......

In the seventh year of the king, Wen Gong Kehan, divided the land with the people, persuaded the farmers to teach the mulberry, and the land was prosperous. - "The Seventh Year of the King"
