Chapter 258: Spreading the King

Daqian attaches great importance to the education of the south, and has always had caravans come to trade. These caravans brought with them a large number of fine bronzes, lacquerware, silks, and delicacies. The topography and hydrology of the surrounding mountains are also recorded.

These data will be included in the craftsman supervisor of Daqian, not the craftsman house. After the restructuring, the craftsman supervisor has been promoted to one of the nine qing. Responsible for the construction of projects in various places.

Through these topographic maps and the data collected, the Craftsmen's Inspectorate then selects where to build water conservancy, canals, ditches, and gallop roads. Later, when the other projects are completed, the country will be able to build this place when it has money.

If Wang Luo sent a large army to attack, it is very likely that after occupying Baiyue, the generals had a mind in their hearts to block the road and cut off the king. This is also why Wang Cheng led the troops.

Because of the full preparation and the large number of Shanyue people as guides, the progress of Wang Cheng's army was not slow. Over the past few years, the policy of the great cadres has been implemented, and more and more people from Shanyue are willing to be dogs for the big cadres, and if they are not crossed out, they are willing to belong to the big cadres.

The army soon came to Cangwu, and Wang Cheng immediately sent people to contact the surrounding Baiyue Fang countries, so that they could come to meet and discuss important matters.

With the messenger leaving, the leader of the Shanyue tribe in the land of the Yue Yue soon got the news. After hearing that there was a royal family member leading a large army in Daqian, these Baiyue leaders had different ideas.

The vast majority of tribal leaders were very hostile to the Great Cadres, and there were not many who were close and neutral. Therefore, for the invitation of the great cadres, there are very few people who are willing to come.

After waiting for a while in Cangwu, Wang Cheng communicated cordially with the leaders of Shanyue who were willing to befriend, and gave them many precious gifts, even those neutral tribes who were not very close, and expressed their willingness to trade with them.

In the end, Wang Cheng also showed these people a lot of wealth, and the leaders of the Baiyue tribe saw a large number of silk, ironware, lacquerware, salt, sugar, wine, and other goods. As soon as I got back, I started sending people to make deals.

At the same time, the news of the great cadre's extreme wealth also spread rapidly from these people.

Seeing Wang Cheng's behavior, the local officials were worried, and went to persuade him: "Great King, you have brought so much wealth and goods to trade with those barbarians, it is easy to cause trouble. ”

"The barbarians are afraid of power but not of virtue, if you know that the king has brought so many goods, you will definitely start to rob it, and then Cangwu County will also be in chaos."

Hearing the words of the Cangwu County Guard, Wang Cheng did not have the slightest worry, but said with a smile: "Isn't it a good thing that the barbarians came to riot?" ”

Cangwu County Shou was slightly stunned.

Wang Cheng continued: "Zhuxia opened up the wilderness, spread civilization, and traded with them, but the ignorant barbarians were unwilling to accept it, and even wanted to attack the Daqian royal family, in a vain attempt to continue to turn this place into a reckless land where Ru Mao drank blood, is this tolerable? ”

"As a cangwu taishou, it is your responsibility to change the Yi to Xia, but the Lone King sees that you have not done well over the years, and now the Lone King will personally demonstrate it for you, and you can follow this practice in the future."

"Turning razing into summer is a national policy that Zhuxia has always implemented. Now go and gather the army and take part in this battle of honor that spreads civilization. ”

When the county guard heard Wang Cheng's words, he immediately reacted. This king came to the south to open up Baiyue, and he had a bottom in his heart, this is a military feat, and he immediately happily gathered the army and prepared to deal with it.

Wang Cheng nodded slightly, and then said to Yu Linwei beside him: "Pass the order and prepare to fight." ”

Although Wang Cheng had never commanded a major war, he had also participated in the battles of destroying Qi and Qin, and he had rich combat experience, otherwise he would not have asked for orders to open up Lingnan.

Cangwu County has a vast area, but there are not many people who are really controlled by the Great Qian, and there are not many people in Zhuxia in Cangwu County.

With the news that Wang Cheng was carrying a large amount of goods, many leaders of the Baiyue tribe were interested in these goods.

As a result, among these Baiyue tribes, several powerful tribes began to contact other tribes, wanting to form a coalition to attack Cangwu. At this time, they not only wanted these goods, but even wanted to break through the plunder.

Cangwu County plus the army under Wang Cheng did not have a total of 100,000 people, and the surrounding barbarians had at least hundreds of thousands or more. But Wang Cheng did not have the slightest fear, with the vine armor army in hand, he was full of confidence to defeat these barbarians.

Wang Cheng stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, and sighed in his heart, when the ancestors established the Huai Kingdom, what the Huai Kingdom needed to face at that time was a large number of barbarians outside the city.

Ancestor Zijue led thousands of people to grow and annex, and finally gained a firm foothold in Huaidi. Now it is my turn to lead the people of Zhuxia to gain a firm foothold in Lingnan and turn it into Xia.

The speed at which the Baiyue barbarians came was very fast, and on the fifth day, a large number of barbarians gathered, the number exceeded 100,000, but after seeing the army of these barbarians, Wang Cheng smiled. Although there are many of them, there are dozens of different banners in it, and the command of so many banners can be imagined.

Moreover, among these barbarians, the armor rate is only thirty percent, and the number of iron armor is even smaller, in the face of this rabble, the rattan armor army led by Wang Cheng can be described as a heavenly soldier.

There is no iron smelting technique in Lingnan, and bronze is still used, how can it be the opponent of Daqian?

The barbarian army came, and Wang Cheng led 20,000 vine armor troops to rush up directly. Those barbarians are nothing more than a rabble, how can they be the opponents of the elite of the great cadres. The army of 20,000 was divided into several teams, like a knife with a handle, quickly dividing the flesh.

Wherever the vine armor army passed, a large number of Shanyue barbarians were slaughtered as if they were mowing grass. The sharp long knives were invincible, and those Baiyue soldiers couldn't stop it at all, and their armor couldn't stop the blades of the vine armor army at all.

The weapons in their hands could not pierce the vine armor soldiers, and then they were quickly killed by the vine armor soldiers.

Tens of thousands of barbarians were quickly defeated, and the vine armor army began to unhurriedly chase the rout army for harvesting, and a large number of barbarian soldiers were killed.

The convenience of rattan armor is fully utilized here, it is light and breathable, and it is not at all comparable to leather armor and iron armor. For this war, Wang Cheng's goal is to kill the enemy as much as possible and weaken the enemy's population.

At the same time, he was also preparing to send the captive population to various construction sites in Daqian, and whether these people could survive in the end depended on their own creation.

Exploit Lingnan and turn razing into summer, which is necessary, weaken the Baiyue barbarian population, and then migrate the Zhuxia population to encourage fertility, and after a few decades, it will naturally become the land of Zhuxia, which is to educate the barbarians and spread the royal road.
