069, Chongbo Kun (below)
Shao Wu made a very interesting decision, he wanted to go to Shanshui City and Xiancheng to watch the ceremony in person, and also took the opportunity to go out to play, counting, he had not left the area around Badu City for many years.
According to this kind of thing, just send an envoy, there is no reason for the monarch to run over in person, but Huwa and Pan Gu have already come today, and he will also personally participate in the canonization ceremony of the other two countries.
Hanxiong's reaction was quite calm, but Xiao Sa on the table was already dumbfounded, and when he went to the palace to accompany him today, he thought it was the sworn brothers who got together for a banquet, but he didn't expect to discuss and decide on such a big thing, and he didn't reveal the slightest rumor in advance.
......
Not to mention that the three brothers in the royal palace of Badu City have solved the problem of Chongbocan, and it will be a matter of course to canonize the kings of the Three Kingdoms at that time. Fan Chong was appointed as the envoy of the country, holding the red festival, with the two demon kings as the deputy envoys, and led the honor guard to the northeast of the country, where he was also the king.
Fan Chong's authority is very large, and he can mobilize the manpower and material resources of the border cities, and can order the garrison to obey orders. His status is also very sensitive, and it would not be possible to hold this position under normal circumstances. If it was proposed by someone else, it would definitely be unanimously opposed by the ministers of Ba Guo, but this was the proposal of Lord Peng Keng, so Ba Jun did not hesitate to appoint it.
If you put an abdicated monarch back to his homeland and give him the right to act on behalf of the monarch, aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to rebel, or organize the old ministry to re-split the country and claim the throne? Even if Fan Chong himself does not have this idea, no one in the court will dare to mention such a suggestion, but Lord Peng Keng will dare to do so, and Shao Wu will dare to agree.
Shaowu not only showed his unreserved trust in Master Peng Keng, but also showed an absolute self-confidence, he was not afraid of Fan Chong's rebellion at all, and he didn't think that Fan Chong could do that.
Many powerful people in Pakistan have privately discussed, saying that after Lord Peng Keng resigned from the position of Xuezheng, was honored as the Ten Lords and was given the Zhenguo Divine Sword, he stayed away from Ba Du to ask about the world, in order to avoid the suspicion of the lord and the king.
But Fan Chong understands that this may not be the case. Lord Peng Keng doesn't seem to care whether Shaowu is suspicious of him, but he doesn't need to care, just like Shaowu doesn't care about putting him back in his hometown as a state envoy.
Master Peng Keng did not "ask" or "do not ask" about the world, which is a misunderstanding in itself, and he has always been in the world.
Fan Chong himself has also received a lot of discussion. Some people think that he took the initiative to abdicate back then, because he was coerced by Chiwangqiu, or he knew that no matter what he did, he could not be better than Shaowu, and he could not save the fate of Fan Muruguo. Ba Yuan will be unified sooner or later, and it will never be Fan Jun who will restore Ba Guo, so Fan Chong simply let go as soon as possible to avoid becoming the king of the dead country.
Many people say this, but in fact, they are smart in hindsight. Only Fan Chong himself knew that he really let go at that time, and he really didn't care about the position of the monarch, and it was inexplicable that he became the monarch. There are many things that are not difficult to understand, but it is not easy to make a decision.
Fan Chong has long known that he can't do less than the monarch, and the restoration of the unification of Pakistan is the trend of the times, but it wasn't until he got acquainted with Lord Peng Keng that he really let go and made the decision he wanted to make for a long time.
There are also many people on Ba Yuan who talk about the success of Shao Wu because of the help of Master Peng Keng, and there is even a saying that "those who get the tiger get Ba Yuan".
Fan Chong, as a monk of Dacheng and the king of a country, also knew very well that this was not the case. Even if Lord Peng Keng never appeared, I am afraid that the final unification of Ba Yuan will still be Shaowu, but the process will be a little different. What people should really think about is why Shao Wu got the help of Master Peng Keng, not that others were so lucky.
When Fan Chong met Master Peng Keng at the beginning of the year, he also had a moment of emotion, why couldn't such a talent be used by him, and why didn't he meet it first? But after the flash, Fan Chong realized that he was thinking too much!
Shaowu was not Ba Jun back then, but one of the sons of Ba Muruguo. When Lord Peng Keng's family came to Ba Yuan, the first prince he saw was not Shaowu, but the prince of the Xiangmur Gonggong, and the first gentleman he saw was not Shaomiao, but the princess of the Xiangmur country. What happened to the result, Gong Lang asked him to kick it, and Gong Lang let him slaughter it.
Even among the princes of the Ba Mur Kingdom, the first people that Lord Peng Keng's family knew were Zhong Lan, Gu Liang and Hui Liang, and they all had the opportunity to befriend Master Peng Keng's family before Shao Wu, so what happened to these three sons later? Fan Chong thought about these things all the way and arrived at Dingfeng City, the most marginal part of the northeast border of Ba Yuan.
With Dingfeng City as the center, Fan Chong mobilized the elite labor of a total of five surrounding city towers, and brought the garrison formations of each city outline to the foot of the mountains on the edge of the wilderness, and chose a suitable place to cut wood, build soil, dig ravines, divert spring streams, build walled walls, build houses, and level a large camp.
Judging by the size of this camp, it is enough to build a castle. Fan Chong used 2,000 strong laborers to enter the wilderness to build roads, and nearly 10,000 people followed behind to transport various materials and stay in the camp to provide various logistical support.
Then these five castles also have to maintain their daily operations, so they also have to mobilize money, food, and materials from more outer castles to replenish them. The scale of launching a large battle is no more than that, and ordinary people really can't command it.
Fan Chong transferred the garrison to the border wilderness, mainly to build the camp in the shortest possible time, he did not wait for the two thousand elite laborers to arrive, first gathered hundreds of people to start the project, and then a large number of personnel arrived one after another. It is extremely difficult to open roads and build roads in the wilderness, there are always people who are injured, and the heavy labor cannot be sustained, so it needs to be replenished on a regular basis.
Fan Chong's policy in the surrounding cities was to draw one out of three. A third of the young men of each tribe must come, and they must first be counted as servitude in the country, and the excess part will be deducted from taxes, and then the excess part will be compensated with money and food from the city.
The closest major clan to the border camp is the Aoba clan. After the head of the Aoba clan, Hu Bai, led the clansmen to arrive, he asked Fan Chong in surprise: "Ling Xianjun is only here to open up the road, why did he build such a large camp, use so much manpower, and build the road so wide and smooth? ”
Ling Xianjun is the title of the Ten Lords that Fan Chong has just obtained. Fan Chong said lightly: "I was ordered by the king to welcome the Chinese angels, how can I be lazy? The Qingye clan is the largest clan in the tribe, and it is most convenient to mobilize the people, can the Hubai patriarch send all the young and strong people in the clan to this place? ”
The Fox White Patriarch hurriedly shook his head and said, "I have been ordered by Lord Xianjun to draw one out of three clansmen, and all the people have been brought here." I don't know how long it will take to build the road in the wilderness, and if the spring plowing is not completed next year, the tribesmen will have to keep enough manpower. As for the city's grain transfer to compensate the tribes, there is a lot of consumption in the middle, so there is no need. It is not necessary to settle here. ”
Of course, there are cheaters and tricks in the various tribes that are ordered, such as the Aoba clan, although they don't dare to make a fuss about the number of people, but not all of them are the strongest laborers.
Fan Chong's suggestion that the Hubai patriarch send all the strong laborers was actually a good intention, because they were the closest big tribe, and it was the easiest way to do so. If it affected the production in the tribe, Fan Chong had already agreed to be compensated by Chengkuo.
But the Hubai patriarch has his own careful thoughts, the city outline compensates the tribe for money and food, how can it be so easy to get, there may be deductions from the officials in the middle, not to mention, and it also takes a long time.
As for Fan Chong's promise that those who participated in the road construction could settle here in the future, it was not even more beneficial in Hu Bai's view. It was just a makeshift camp for the purpose of building a road, and in the middle of the wild mountains, there was not much land suitable for cultivation nearby, and it would take a lot of effort to create a farm, and the grain production would not be too high, so who would want to come?
Moreover, if the strong laborers of the clan settled here, it would be equivalent to the migration of the clansmen, why should they move to this desolate and remote place? The Hubai patriarch simply suspected that Fan Chong was trying to embarrass himself.
And Fan Chong didn't mean to embarrass the fox, he could only secretly sigh that this patriarch could only make small calculations, but he had no real vision. Today, it's just a deserted camp, and it doesn't seem to be suitable for migration and settlement. However, many people did not expect that when the road between Ba Yuan and the hinterland of China was opened, it would become an important town for border garrison and trade exchanges.
From both a military and an economic point of view, there will certainly be a city here in the future, and its lord will become one of the most important and wealthy city lords in Pakistan. If the inhabitants of this area are mainly the Aoba clan, then according to ancient tradition, it is most likely that the head of the Aoba clan will be appointed as the lord of the castle.
Sooner or later, such a city will appear, depending on whether it is built on its own initiative, or with the passage of history, it will gradually develop into a bazaar and a large village, and then the monarch will realize that the city should be built. Therefore, the camp opened up by Fan Chong is based on the scale of building a city outline in the future.
Since the patriarch of the Aoba clan doesn't have this vision, it's just that, the same thing, Fan Chong has said to several big clans nearby. Some tribes have sent more strong laborers to help, but they have not paid attention to the settlement of their tribesmen here. Fan Chong knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to break the benefits in the future.
Fan Chong urgently mobilized such a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build roads, and many people were puzzled, because there was no need for this. Anyway, Lord Chongbokun is already building roads, and the longer the road is built over there, the less effort can be made here, and the more cost-effective it will be. It should be known that the further the road extends into the depths of the wilderness, the more difficult it is to supply logistics and baggage transportation, and the greater the price to pay.
Fan Chong can save some money, food and labor for Pakistan, but he not only has to ensure the passage specifications of this road, but also tries to build further into the depths of the wilderness, which is simply "grabbing" with Lord Chongbokun.
There are some things that the people who built the road, the patriarchs of the tribes, and even the city lords of the cities can't understand, but Fan Chong can't say it directly. What does the road he built mean? It is not only a passage between Pakistan and China, but also an extension of Pakistan's national border! )
