In September of the twelfth year of Shenwu, Ningguo Ziyun rebelled, openly raised the flag and changed flags, announcing the surrender of Chu.

In an instant, the seventeen mansions of the two counties of Ningguo, and in the blink of an eye, the land of eight prefectures changed their doors and became Chu Tu.

Of the 800,000 troops, 400,000 changed their uniforms and pledged allegiance to the king of Chu.

And the state of Chu also reacted quickly.

At the first moment of the surrender of Ziyun Dao, Huang Xuan of Yuzhang County supervised 100,000 troops, approached Xin'an and Dongyang Prefectures in Linhai County, and merged with 200,000 rebels of Xuanyin and Xuanyi of Ziyun Dao in that place, and controlled the southern provinces of Jinling.

Qingyunzi of Jian'an County supervised 100,000 troops, advanced to the Yongjia and Linhai areas of Linhai County, and joined 150,000 soldiers and horses of Xuanxi, Xuanyu, Xuanlu and other departments of Ziyun Dao, and controlled the eastern provinces of Linhai.

Ziyun Dao Xuanyu raised 50,000 troops at the junction of the two counties of Guangling in Linhai, captured the county, and cut off the land communication between Jinling and Guangling.

For a time, Jinling, the imperial capital of Ningguo, was surrounded by soldiers on three sides, and 400,000 rebels merged with 200,000 Chu troops.

Wherever they passed, the Ning army was defeated along the way.

When the news came back, Jinling shook, the court shook, and the Linhai family shook.

Ningguo is in danger, only in the future.

……

Tianluo Mountain.

"In this way, among the seven congenitals of the Linhai family, there are already three who are inclined to surrender to my Great Chu."

Lu Yuan looked at Du Xin, the commander of the Imperial City Foreign Division in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"Back to the king, it's true."

Du Xin replied respectfully: "Wujiang Hou Chuming, Wuming Hou Wang Xiu, Wuyi Hou Yuying, these three representatives of the six surnames and seven clans, all expressed their willingness to raise the banner and surrender to the Chu State when my Great Chu raised troops to the west.

In addition, Wu Ming Hou Mu Changqing and Wu Xuan Hou Yang Jing were all a little shaken.

Maybe when all the Ning Kingdom is gone, and when the soldiers are under the city, these two people will also surrender.

Only Emperor Ning Shenqiu, and Marquis Wucheng Shangguan Ming, these two people had a resolute attitude and refused to surrender.

However, most of the people of the two clans of the two of them are afraid and admire my Great Chu, and they have been stepping up their persuasion.

For the sake of the clan, these two may also surrender in the end. ”

After rebelling against Ziyun Dao, Chu State's series of actions to win over Jiangdong and divide it can be said to be like a tiger with wings, like a wing, extremely smooth.

Those wealthy families in Jiangdong are all smart people who are good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder.

These people all know that in the case of the surrender of the Purple Cloud Dao and the motherland, they will not be able to defend the Ning Kingdom at all with their own strength.

After all, nearly half of the innate grandmasters and half of the army in the country were controlled by these traitors in Ziyun Dao.

The iron bucket defense line originally built was instantly opened, and the Chu army could easily drive straight into the country and meet those traitors in the country.

In this case, what can their remaining seven innate and 400,000 soldiers and horses do?

Even some of the ancestral lands of the six surnames and seven clans have been controlled by the Purple Cloud Dao, and the clansmen are all in the hands of the Purple Cloud Dao.

The life of the family is controlled, who dares to resist?

What Du Xin said, the three innate martial marquis who clearly expressed their intention to take refuge were controlled by Ziyun Dao.

Tens of thousands of people in the whole clan, dead and alive are all in the thought of Ziyun Dao, what can the three martial marquis do, they can only succumb for the lives of the whole clan.

As for Mu Changqing and Yang Jing, these two people are all old and young, although they are not controlled by Ziyun Dao.

But the territory where the family is located is also close to Ziyun Road.

Now he is being stared at or surrounded by troops sent by the people of Ziyun Dao, and he is also threatened at all times.

In addition, after these two people saw the rebellion of Ziyun Dao, they also knew that Ning Guo was really gone.

It is pointless to resist any longer, except for adding casualties.

So half-pushing, half-pushing, also oscillating between surrender and stubborn defense.

As for Shen Qiu and Shangguan Ming, these two really want to repay the country with death.

The two-thousand-year-old foundation of the Linhai family has been smashed in the hands of their generation, and these people in Shenqiu can be said to be one of them, and they can all commit suicide in shame.

In this case, it is natural to live without face.

And to bow down to Lu Yuan, these two people from a family are not willing at all, and they can't let go of that face.

Instead of giving up dignity, it is better to die vigorously and save your honor.

Death seemed to be their best option.

But the two of them want to die, and the people of the Shen family and the Shangguan family don't want to perish together.

The Shen family and the Shangguan family, which are all the upper families of the six surnames and seven clans, have been extremely prosperous in the past few hundred years, and there are no less than tens of thousands of clansmen.

It is easy for them to seek death, but it is too much to take 50,000 or 60,000 people of the two races to die together.

No one wants to die, and even fewer are willing to die when there is a choice, and that choice is relatively good.

The people of the People's Republic of China have made conditions.

As long as the six surnames and seven clans are willing to surrender, all those who are born in the clan can cut off half of the county and seal the duke, and go to Lingnan to establish a state.

Although Lingnan is poor and not as rich as Jiangdong, it is also the lord of a country.

These people of the lord family of the country migrated to the past, and they were still able to be powerful and prosperous in the land, and they were able to become superior people.

There is always no shortage of wealth and power.

Moreover, the Marquis of Xianwu Ping, now Xie Ning, the Duke of Song, was also born in six surnames and seven clans, and when it comes to relationships, he can also be called relatives with these families in Jiangdong.

With the other party in Lingnan to help take care of it, it can be much easier to get a foothold.

The great future is placed there, who wants to let go of the new country magnates not to do it, but to accompany the head of the family to die vigorously here.

So when the Jiangdong family lowered the flag, the people of the Shen family and the Shangguan family were in a hurry to die.

One by one, the elders of the clan took turns to persuade them, and groups of women and children hugged the children to cry, just to persuade Shen Qiu and Shangguan Ming to change their minds, not to make trouble and carry them to the end, think about them, old and weak women and children.

This persuasion was very noisy, and I heard that the entire Jinling City was in a sensation, and Shen Qiu and Shangguan Ming were also made anxious, and their hearts were shocked.

Recently, there has been no mention of any more words that would rather die than surrender.

Looking at this trend, it is estimated that these two will also fall.

"Hahaha."

When Lu Yuan heard this, he laughed heartily, and after expressing the joy in his heart, he restrained his laughter and said happily: "Very good, Ziyun Dao is doing a good job." The first credit for the destruction of Ning State this time should be them.

However, at present, the Ning Kingdom has not yet been surrendered, and there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in its country, and there are several people in the country, which should not be underestimated.

If these people do not surrender, there will still be variables in Jiangdong. ”

After Lu Yuan was overjoyed, he thought of those people on the ground in Jiangdong who were still watching and resisting, and he pondered for a moment, and then said: "You immediately go to contact Ziyun Dao and ask them to send Wujiang Hou Chuming, Wuming Hou Wang Xiu, and Wuyi Hou Yuying, who have surrendered, to Tianluo Mountain."

Lone had promised them that as long as they surrendered, they would be rewarded with a feudal kingdom.

Now that these three have taken refuge in me, it is time for them to fulfill their promises.

You tell them that Gu is going to use Yulin County and Tonghai County to build Ninghai Kingdom, Nanning Kingdom, and Tonghai Kingdom separately to reward the three families for their work.

Now let these three people come to Tianluo Mountain to be sealed, and then arrange for the clansmen to move to Lingnan and go to the country as soon as possible.

In addition, those who are not born in the seaside family, Gu also allows them to migrate with the family in the country, and each country can choose a family to follow and go to the country with them.

I don't stand in the way. ”

Since the first two months of the battle, Lu Yuan decided to launch the Purple Cloud Dao in advance in order to force the Ning Kingdom as soon as possible, and divide those Linhai families into Lingnan and Southwest counties.

For the local household registration of Tonghai and Yulin counties, Lu Yuan began to migrate.

Among them, Tonghai County, the main migration is the local Chu people.

Originally, some of the local conquered Yi people, because they were too lazy to manage assimilation, were left locally, planning to throw them to those coastal families to deal with.

Yulin County was mainly relocated civilians, as well as some local gentry and wealthy families who were interested in the Chu State.

And some of the remnants of the local Su State, mainly the families of the disciples who originally came from the Jiuchuan Sword Sect, and some local wealthy families who were hostile to the Chu State, these unstable elements, were left behind.

Now, a few months have passed, and those controllable Shunmin, about 600,000 people, have been successively relocated by Lu Yuan to Xiangyang County in Jiangbei to enrich the local household registration.

The two counties of Tonghai and Yulin each have about 100,000 people, and the population can be said to be further scarce.

However, those seaside families have a big family, and the ethnic groups have multiplied for more than 2,000 years, which can be said to have a large population.

Basically, any of the six surnames and seven clans are pulled out, and the population of the clan is tens of thousands, and if you count some relatives and relatives, it is 100,000 and so on.

For these children of the family who were deeply rooted in the local area, it was naturally impossible for Lu Yuan to let them stay in Linhai County and continue to collude with the local government to hinder the rule of the Chu State.

Therefore, his way to deal with these remnants of the previous dynasty is to move them all.

I don't want to kill them all, it's too brutal.

But don't make trouble for me in the local area, all of them will roll me to Lingnan, and you will be tossed over there.

We don't hate each other.

Therefore, these six surnames and seven ethnic groups, each family migrating, can basically bring a population of 100,000, and a little more may have more than 100,000.

Now there are innate families in Jiangdong, even if they include Shen Qiu, the son of Ningguo, the number is only seven.

Therefore, there are probably only seven small countries that have been sealed out of Lingnan this time.

And the counties that Lu Yuan is about to give up in Lingnan happen to be Jiuzhen, Tonghai, Yulin, and Nanhai three and a half counties, which is just enough for these seven people.

But among the six surnames and seven clans, in addition to these seven families with congenital origins, there are still six families without congenital.

These six families without innate nature can only choose a country by themselves, and according to the distribution of one country and one family, they can choose the country to migrate to.

In this way, according to the distribution method of one country and one family, plus the population of the feudal country left by Lu Yuan, there are almost two or three hundred thousand people in each half-county country.

In this way, it can barely support the size of a small country.

"Yes, the minister obeys."

When Du Xin heard the instructions, he immediately took the order to leave.

And Lu Yuan continued to think about it on the spot.

This time, three small countries were divided in one go, and although the population of the small countries was a little smaller, the promise was at least fulfilled.

With these three examples in front of them, those Linhai families who are watching should be able to relax and take refuge with peace of mind.

And these biggest resistance forces in Jiangdong were disintegrated, and there were some ambitious people left, and they couldn't turn over the storm.

The situation in the two counties of Linhai and Guangling has almost stabilized since then.

"However, the two counties of Tonghai and Yulin are both vast and sparsely populated, and there are only hundreds of thousands of people who migrate there, so it is not troublesome.

But the remaining Jiuzhen and Nanhai counties, with a combined household registration of only six million, want to move them all out, this is a big project. ”

Migration is a common occurrence for the Chu State.

In the past, when it was still Changsha, the Northern Expedition to Zhou won the victory, and Lu Yuan moved two million people from Xichuan and Hanzhong counties back to China, and the resettlement project lasted for more than a year, and the stable immigration lasted for more than a few years.

Later, he crusaded against the southwest, seized the two counties of Xichuan in central Guizhou, and moved his household registration in various parts of the country, and the whole project lasted for several years.

After several million-scale immigrants before and after, Chu State is extremely proficient in various matters of immigration.

Now that six million people have been moved away in one go, although it is huge, it is not impossible to do it with the current background of the Chu State.

After all, there are several grain-producing areas in hand, and they will soon have to get to the two rich territories of Linhai and Guangling, and the number of surplus grains in the country every year is not counted, which can fully support these consumptions.

It's just that although it can afford it, in the end, it is also the migration of six million people, and after this matter is done, the finances of Chu State in the past two years will basically revolve around this matter, and it will be difficult to do other major things in the rest.

"There is also Xiliang, in order to support Huang Xin's stubborn consumption strategy in the past few months, the country has paid millions of taels of silver and five million stone of grain for this, and the expenses will continue to expand in the future.

Now with one more immigrant, the finances are a little unsupportable. Lu Yuan had a headache.

On the side of the people in the northwest, there are four or five million people waiting for the Chu State to receive help.

On the Lingnan side, there are also 6 million people waiting to be relocated.

This adds up to tens of millions of people's food and clothing.

And the total population of Chu is now only 28.7 million people. Even if you count the Jiangdong, which will soon be in hand, there are only 36 million people.

Among them, it is necessary to subtract the six million people in Lingnan who are migrating, and it is impossible for them to move from the counties in Lingbei to finally settle down and resume production in two or three years.

Other words.

In the past two or three years, the state of Chu will use 30 million people to support 10 million people, and the pressure can be imagined.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yuan has the four major grain producing areas of Xichuan, Jianghan, Dongting and Pengli, he would soon be able to get to Linhai County, which is also known for its output.

The five granaries are in hand, otherwise they really don't dare to launch this plan.

"Supporting the Northwest War and Lingnan immigration is basically the biggest national policy of Chu in the past two or three years.

During this period, the state of Chu basically had no spare energy to do other things.

And now that the Ning State has been disintegrated by me with the Purple Cloud Dao and the strategy of sealing the country, the Jiangbei Liang State originally supported a nail in the land south of the Yangtze River to contain the bankruptcy of my Chu State's strategy.

It is impossible to be willing in your heart.

Maybe you'll be annoyed and angry, and you want to fight me in person.

At such a critical moment, we must not let it ruin the plan for the next hundred years. ”

Lu Yuan frowned, his expression uncertain.

Six million people from Lingnan were relocated to Hanzhong, Xiangyang, Dongting, Yuzhang, Linhai, Guangling and other border counties close to Zhongzhou, so that they could more effectively mobilize money, food, and manpower during the Northern Expedition to Zhongzhou in the future.

It is also prepared for an easier migration of household registration to Jiangbei Zhongzhou in the future.

This is a great plan for the benefit of the country and the people, and it must not be abandoned.

As for curbing the Xiliang State in the northwest, it is to strangle a major enemy for the Chu State and solve the border troubles in the northwest, so that it can mobilize the resources of the whole country to go north and plot against Zhongzhou.

This is just as important as it is, and it must not be lost.

But Liang Guo's side has been keeping an eye on Chu State, how can he not know how much of a threat he poses to himself after letting Chu State successfully complete these two things and solve all the hidden dangers?

So in the end, Liang Guoguo came to stop this matter, which is already a sure thing.

"No, these two national policies must not be ruined by the Liang Kingdom."

Lu Yuan's expression was slightly cold, his eyes looked at the Kyushu map behind him, his eyes slowly moved around the Liang Kingdom, and finally fell to the position of Zhou and Wei to the west of it, revealing a sneer: "The Liang people want to insert two nails in the northwest and Jiangnan to shield the threat from the southwest and southwest.

Now the Jiangnan situation has been broken by me, so that it has lost an arm.

Don't even think about staying in the west for now.

If you can break the Zhou State and let the tiger and wolf of the Wei people enter the customs, I am afraid that it is the western border of the Liang people, and it will be difficult to sleep day and night. ”

Wei is a big country, although the territory has not been able to completely unify Yanzhou, where Wei is located, the territory is only ten counties, but the population is more than 30 million, there are 2 million soldiers and horses.

If you don't count the territory, just the heritage, it is no less than Lu Yuan's Chu State at this time.

And in recent years, the Wei people have continued to move south, first seizing Shuofang County of Zhou, and now they are invading Guannei County, where the capital of Zhou is located, and the momentum can be described as menacing.

And the Zhou State was almost worried about the death of the country under its blow.

Although in the past six months, as the Liang State changed its national policy and began to support the forces in Jiangnan and Kansai, and wanted to shield its west and south, the supported Zhou State gradually gained a little more vitality and had a better life.

But no matter how good life is, the size of the Zhou Kingdom is also there.

There are only four counties left, and two of them are dilapidated.

The population was only 13 million, and all the men were able to be conscripted into the army.

There are only seven congenital grandmasters left, and in the face of more than 20 congenital masters in the Wei State, it can be said that they are weak everywhere.

This kind of strength, even with the support of Liang Guo, how much vitality can be recovered in a short period of time.

And if you want to confront Wei, it will be even more difficult.

Now it's just relying on the fortified city to hold on, constantly taking people's lives and cities to fight with Wei and drag out time.

But even so.

Under the powerful offensive of the Wei State, the Zhou people have lost half of Guannei County until now.

The vanguard soldiers and horses of the Wei people have arrived at the city of Chang'an of the Zhou State.

Originally, the Zhou court proposed to move the capital, but now no one argues, and the government and the opposition are all in favor of the emperor's east hunting.

It's just that moving the capital is a big deal, and there are millions of people around Chang'an, and it is not so easy to move away for a while.

Not to mention that there are Wei soldiers and horses nearby, eyeing them and ready to attack at any time.

So even if the Zhou people wanted to move the capital, they couldn't escape for a while.

Once the Zhou State moved its capital and gave up Guannei County, the remaining territory was only two complete counties of Nanyang and Henan, as well as a small half of Xiangyang County.

The Wei State seized the Guannei County and will also border the Chu State and become a neighbor of the Great Chu.

The same.

Wei only needed to take Henan County, or Nanyang County, to the east, to border the Liang people.

And the two counties of Henan and Nanyang, which are the standard land of Zhongzhou, the ticket to the eternal existence of the future national ancestry.

failed to fight for the death and wounding of so many soldiers and horses to go south, didn't they ask for these two tickets in the hands of Zhou Guo?

At this time, the ultimate goal is in front of us, can the Wei people be willing not to move?

"As long as I send an envoy to contact the Wei people to do something to the two counties of Zhou, Henan and Nanyang, I am afraid that the other party will agree immediately." Lu Yuan thought.
