Chapter 511 News from Guan Yu

Under Li Ming's rule, after two years of development, by the autumn of 194, the population had reached 3000 million.There are about 800 million Han people, and the rest are Nanman and Baiyue ethnic groups who have defected one after another.

More than 200 million people from Wulingman have come to seek refuge, more than 50 people have come from Nanzhongman, 20 have come from Banchuman and Jiangxiaman, and the number of Wuyiman has soared to more than 600 million in recent years, of which nearly 100 million About [-] people are newborns.

It can be said that if Li Ming insisted on limiting the age of marriage to 18, the population would probably increase further.The advantage lies in the healthy growth of newborns. After all, in the past two years, the county magistrates and magistrates of various counties in Jiangdong organized and planned, and medical students were in charge. Maternal and child hospitals were established one after another, specializing in midwifery and infant care. Nursing of young children.

Thanks to government subsidies, most women avoid difficult labor problems.The term caesarean section officially appeared in the land of China, making at least 500 women with dystocia, mother and child safe.

Li Ming also took advantage of this wind, and naturally publicized it vigorously, and his reputation has further improved, and the people are grateful to him.

Needless to say, the army, after the initial sinicization of the Yue people, there are already [-] elite soldiers serving in the army, mainly concentrated in Luling County and Nanhai County, and Changsha County is mainly composed of Wuyi barbarians. Side to help guard.

Among the Han people, another 30 people joined the army to serve in the army. Including the original troops, Li Ming has a total of [-] troops under his command.Different from those mobs, all the soldiers are stewed with meat, practice once a day, and conduct team drills once every three days. The soldiers are truly elite, but they still lack some actual combat experience.

At the same time, Li Ming recruited 30 garrison troops to specialize in the cultivation of Jeju Island and Yizhou.After more than half a year of hard work, Jeju Island has built a medium-sized wharf, a city and reclaimed a lot of cultivated land, and three horse farms have been built.

In Youzhou, 5000 horses were purchased through Gongsun Zan, including more than [-] war horses, and none of the stallions had been castrated.Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao needed a lot of medicine and furs when they went to war. Li Ming had them, and both parties were very satisfied with the transaction.As a side effect, Gongsun Zan has set up dozens of outposts in the coastal areas.

He used to think that the sea route was safe, but now he realized that the sea route was not safe. Gongsun Zan felt like crying.

In Yizhou, a large amount of farmland has been reclaimed, and animal husbandry and fishery are also developing in an orderly manner.At the same time, a large number of open-pit gold mines were discovered in the Jinguashi area. With the efforts of [-] miners, a large number of gold ingots were transported back to Wanling one after another, and they were used as reserves for the subsequent promotion of gold, silver and copper coins.

By the way, silver mines have been discovered in Tiantai County, Jieyang County, and Qixia Mountain, and mining has been organized.In addition, there are semi-raw ores such as tin, lead and zinc ore.

The soldiers don't have to worry about food and clothing, what they hope most now is for Li Ming to further expand his territory.No matter whether it is going west or north, as long as an order is given, the soldiers can immediately cover the ground for him and expand the territory.

Here lies the problem. Li Ming's focus is on internal affairs, and he obviously has no intention of expanding abroad.The land of Jiangdong was originally remote and wild, and so many people moved here one after another.

The expansion of the counties and the resettlement of the people have become the focus of fiscal expenditures in the past two years, accounting for more than [-]%, education expenditures have reached [-]%, and less than [-]% have been used for military affairs. Obviously, these two years have not Not fit for war.Otherwise, once it enters the wartime mechanism, the expenses will definitely drive Cao Zheng Guoyuan to go crazy.

In the autumn of 194, a major event attracted the attention of the princes of the Central Plains, even Li Ming, Cao Song was killed!

The world was in chaos, and Cao Song returned to Qiao County for refuge, and then went to Langye County.Seeing that Cao Cao had secured his position as governor of Yanzhou, he planned to live in Yanzhou. Who knew that Zang Ba, a thief from Mount Tai who had not yet entered Taishan County and had already taken refuge under Tao Qian's command, learned of this, and coveted the hundred carts of gold, silver and jewels that Cao Song brought. , actually led the army to attack, killing people and stealing money.

When the news reached Yanzhou, Cao Cao was said to have fainted from the pain on the spot. Perhaps the headache was the root cause of his illness at this time.After waking up, he almost yelled that he would smash the Taishan thief into thousands of pieces, but at this moment, the Taishan thief had gone south to seek refuge with Yuan Shu, and was arranged to be stationed in Zhongli County.

Cao Cao was furious. Since the Taishan bandit had escaped, Tao Qian, his boss, naturally became the target of his anger.Immediately mobilized all the soldiers and horses, leaving Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to guard Juancheng, leading an army of [-] in person, and marched into Peijun in mighty force.The [-] troops were all elites under his command, including [-] tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun, a newly formed heavy cavalry regiment.

Regardless of the fact that there are only three thousand, each of them is composed of Qi practitioners, and they practice the most common "Dou Zhan Jue".The support of these 1000 people is equivalent to the supply of more than 5000 people.The other [-] soldiers are also truly elite.

Going south to fight against Jiao Snake, not to mention Cao Cao, many princes have seen it, and continue to rely on the previous training mode, fearing that they will suffer losses when dealing with Li Ming.Give up the idea of ​​relying on the number of people to win, and follow the route of elite soldiers.

The army went east from Jiyin County and entered Donghai County all the way.Tao Qian sent Cao Bao to guard Shan County, but he didn't want to be easily defeated by Cao Cao.Going all the way south like this, they will soon come to Pengcheng County.

Liu Bei had already been killed in the battle of going south to conquer Jiao Snake, so naturally no one came to rescue him.Seeing that Cao Jun was about to fight to the door, Tao Qian was at a loss for what to do, and hurriedly asked the surrounding princes for help.

Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou who was appointed by Gongsun Zan, got the news, but found Kong Rong. After all, in Qingzhou, this is the real power figure.Kong Rong received the news and sent general Wu Anguo to the south to rescue.At the same time, Yuan Shu and Li Ming also received the news. Tao Qian was really scared and asked for help from them.

"Is Tao Qian stupid or crazy? You can't miss such a good opportunity!" Li Ming stood up excitedly when he saw the request for help.Seeing that autumn is coming, the food has been stored, which can fully support a small-scale battle.

rescue?Don't count on it, go straight north, walk slowly, the goal is Xiapi Kingdom and Guangling County.As long as Cao Cao takes down Pengcheng and kills Tao Qian, then Xuzhou will become a land of no man, and he will take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the land of these two counties!
"Not only that, but my subordinates also received a piece of news!" Li You hurriedly said, "Beihai prefect Kong Rong sent Wu Anguo to the south with [-] soldiers to support him. According to the exact information, Guan Yu is in this army! "

"There has been no news of Yun Chang for more than a year, and I didn't expect to be under Kong Rong's command..." Li Ming was suddenly sad when he heard this.

At that time, Guan Yu said that he would give priority to his side, and he had not heard that he had joined Liu Ting in Guanzhong this year, and he did not ask about his whereabouts.Unexpectedly, at this time, he received a message from him, and it was the news that he had joined Kong Rong's command.

"No, according to the investigation of the hidden guards, Guan Yu seems to have just followed Wu'an to the south as a subordinate army. He brought 3000 troops under his command, all of whom were former Liu Bei's old troops. Only after his subordinates personally asked, did they know that Liu Bei's subordinates in the past had Half of them entered Guanzhong with Zhang Fei and went to Liu Ting. Some of them dispersed. Only [-] soldiers and Jian Yong, Liu Bei's good friend, stayed in Beihai with Guan Yu. At that time, Guan Yu lacked supplies, and Kong Rong gave them. Help, this time, there is a great possibility of repaying the favor. In addition, the subordinates suspect Tai Shici, and it is estimated that he will come to ask for the north in a short time..." Li You said slowly.

"You are right!" Li Ming flipped through the official documents, and found a letter of invitation sent by Tai Shici.
