Chapter 197 Success Returns to Jiangdong
Mi Fang successfully opened up Liaodong, not only brought back a large number of horses, but also completed the opening of navigation routes. He set out from Yuzhou (Lianyungang) and sailed along the coast, sailing for about 1,300 miles to Chengshan (now Weihai).
Then it traveled northwest from Chengshan and sailed seven or eight hundred miles to Huangxian (now Yantai); From Huangxian to the northeast through the Changdao Islands, go by island, drive more than 300 miles to Zhuzhu (now Lushun); Starting from Zhuzhu again, it travels along the coast, flows into Liaoshui against the water, and goes ashore to Xiangping (now Liaoyang), during which the road is more than 1,400 miles.
Mi Fang's trip started from Yuzhou Island, the voyage distance was nearly 4,000 miles, and the sailing time was more than four months. In addition to the more than 1,000 miles from Jingkou, the voyage from Jiangzuo to Liaodong is about 5,000 miles, and the round-trip sailing time is about five months.
After understanding the sea route of Liaodong, Wang Ying, Congqian, Zhang Shu and the three subordinates of the tent were also transported by the fleet and withdrew from Donglai and Guangli counties in batches.
Wang Ying was defeated by Li Dian and declined from more than 4,000 households at its peak to more than 1,000 households; From more than 2,000 households to about 3,500 households; Zhang Shu was the commander of the sect in the remote area, coercing the people, and had 400 families in his hands. The three of them defected to Yuzhou, and got more than 5,000 families, 23,400 men and women.
Then counting the more than 4,000 families led by Gao Xin and Guan Cheng, there are 18,900 men and women. Add up these thieves and heroes from the Qingxu coastal area, a total of more than 42,000 people. If we take into account the 40,000 or 50,000 people in Changfeng and more than 2,000 households in Qu County, about 8,900 people.
In total, Huo Jun traveled thousands of miles north to Yuzhou this time, opened up the Liaodong Sea Road, and moved 96,700 people.
But how cool the migration is, how painful it is to manage. Previously, through the four-wheel transportation of Jiangzuo's fleet, all the parts under the Chang Xuan tent were transported away, and there were more than 20,000 people left on Yuzhou Island, and now the coastal Kou tribes poured into Yuzhou Island, and the population came to more than 50,000 people again.
On Yuzhou Island, where there are more than 50,000 people, sailors use warships to catch sea fish, which has become a daily basic exercise. Thanks to the previous management experience of so many people, Huo Jun adopted militarized management, allowing the lieutenant generals to go down to the grassroots level and distribute daily goal planning.
Tens of thousands of people have lived on Yuzhou Island for a long time, chopping wood to cook rice and burning fires for heating every day, and Yuzhou Mountain is visibly bald to the naked eye.
However, more than 50,000 people were only occasional, and Zhuge Liang learned the news of Yuzhou Island from the mouth of the fleet, and expected the increase in the number of people on Yuzhou Island.
Then a larger fleet was dispatched, including new and old warships of the sailors, as well as merchant ships, although the large ships were uneven, but the ships were as high as more than 200. In addition, Huo Jun has more than 200 large and small ships and more than 400 warships, and the canvas is open, covering the sky and the sun. Yu Ban, Zang Ba, and Wu Dun, who were stationed in Qu County, were dumbfounded.
There were more than 400 warships in hand, and under Huo Jun's deployment, more than 300 warships were pulled out, and more than 20,000 people returned to Jiangzuo.
"Zhong Miao, don't you want to go back to Jiangzuo first?" Mi Fang asked.
Huo Jun shook his head and said: "Most of the people on Yuzhou Island are people from Qingxu Binhai, and they are reluctant to leave their hometowns, all of which rely on Wang Ying, Congqian and others. Jin Jun is not here to deter, if it is handed over to others, there may be turmoil. β
There are more than 50,000 people on the island, and Huo Jun is ready to send them to Jiangzuo in two batches. The first batch of Mi Fang returned with horses and more than 20,000 people, and the second batch of him led the sergeants and the rest of the people to return to the division en masse.
Mi Fang nodded and said with a smile: "Wu Zhongmiao is in charge of Yuzhou, I am afraid that Yu Ban, Zang Ba, Wu Dun and other generals will be eager to try, attack Yuzhou, and take the people ashore." β
Since Huo Jun brought those Qingxu Haikou to Yuzhou Island, its population is so prosperous that it is pitiful. Not only Yu Ban and Zang Ba were stationed, but even Wu Dun, the Taishou of Licheng, also led his troops to Qu County to see if he could defeat Huo Jun and get the people on the island. Therefore, a few days ago, the three of them sent a sergeant to arrive at Yuzhou in a small boat at night, but they were repelled by the patrolling sailors.
"Nothing!"
Huo Jun patted Mi Fang's arm and said with a smile: "Brother Mi can go back to Jiangzuo first, and wait for Jun to return next month, when you and I will gather with Liu Yuanjun in Jingkou." β
Mi Fang remembered something and asked, "Kong Ming asked me to ask Zhong Miao, in addition to the tens of thousands of people in the Chang Xuan Division. Will the rest of the proceeds be sent to the people of Jiangdong and placed in Poyang County? β
Huo Jun pondered for a while and said, "No need, just settle in batches." This trip to the north is not the strength of Jun alone, which can be divided into 10,000 people to Danyang, and 10,000 people to Wu County, and the rest of the counties can also be shared. Among them, 4,000 households can be resettled in Poyang County. β
100,000 people moved to Jiangzuo, deducting the 40,000 or 50,000 people in Changxi, Huo Jun ate the remaining 40,000 or 50,000 alone, it is not impossible. But as an official in the officialdom, you can't eat alone, you have to share in it, after all, who doesn't have a problem, when the time comes, you ask someone for help, and people will easily agree.
Of course, there are other reasons, 40,000 or 50,000 people, it is quite difficult to support only Poyang County. Distributing these people among the counties is less stressful.
"Good!"
Mi Fang comprehended Huo Jun's meaning, and said with a smile: "The county guards must remember Zhong Miao's grace, and Fang will definitely convey this to Kong Ming." β
Saying that, Mi Fang asked in a low voice: "Those three Han maidservants, Fang sent them home for Jun." How? β
Huo Jun smiled and didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement. Mi Fang understood, and then said goodbye and left.
Looking at Mi Fang's back, Huo Jun was interested. So far, he has been in contact with the three major traitors who lost Jingzhou in the history of Shu Han, and even have a close relationship. Shiren worked under him, and cooperated with Mi Fang to open up the Liaodong route, and Pan Jun assisted Liu Qi with him.
Based on his current perception, it cannot be denied that all three of them are capable. Pan Jun's ability to govern is outstanding, and Wang Cang, Gu Yong and others assisted Liu Qi in governing Yangzhou, and handled it in an orderly manner, and even Zhuge Liang praised Pan Jun's political ability.
Mi Fang is second, although he is selfish, but he can open up the Liaodong route, and he has made great contributions. Shiren fought bravely, took the lead many times, and was good at commanding cavalry battles.
In the future, Mi Fang and Shiren went to the water, burned down the armory, and sacrificed Nanjun to return to LΓΌmeng, which can only be said that no one could have imagined. Or maybe the two are getting older and are starting to be greedy for life and afraid of death?
But no matter what, Huo Jun thinks that Mi Fang, a person who is greedy for money, but has the ability and status, should be used reasonably. Either choose to return to his hometown, or give him a suitable position and let him radiate his residual heat.
Time passed in an instant, since Mi Zhu led the fleet back to Jiangzuo, and after more than 20 days, the fleet returned to Yuzhou in a mighty way.
Under the watchful eyes of Yu Ban, Wu Dun and others on the other side, Huo Jun led the army and more than 30,000 remaining people to board the ships, and more than 400 naval warships sailed south, leaving the empty Yuzhou Island.
It was summer, and the way home coincided with a storm and heavy rain. Due to the heavy wind and rain, the ship docked for a day and then headed south. The fleet stopped and walked, sometimes going ashore to replenish fresh water resources, sometimes anchoring and resting, and it took 12 days for the fleet to arrive at Jingkou.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Huo Jun looked at the land on the left side of the river, as if he was in a different world. He has been in Yuzhou for half a year since he went north in December last winter and returned in June this year.
Huo Jun suddenly looked left and right and asked, "What is the past and the present?" β
"Today is the summer day of June in the twelfth year of Jian'an." Yu Shao replied.
Huo Jun stroked the hilt of the sword, guessing the day when Cao Cao went south, and muttered, "That's soon!" β
The wind was strong, Yu Shao only heard Huo Jun speak, but couldn't hear the specific content, and asked loudly: "What did the general say soon?" β
Huo Jun felt the strong wind blowing in his face, pointed to Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others who greeted him on the dock, and said with a smile: "It's almost time to get to Beijing!" β
Yu Shao nodded and said: "The general will go north to open up the road to Liaodong, and he will get 100,000 people, and he can enter the knighthood!" β
Huo Jun put his arm around Yu Shao's shoulders and said with a smile: "Jun is also related to Neihou." β
"General Xie!"
"Haha!"
If the general wants his subordinates to obey you, in addition to having excellent skills, he must be able to take them to get promoted and make a fortune, otherwise who will follow him. Of course, the heart-to-heart, and attractive people have to talk about another matter.
