Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Qian's body paused slightly, then he said with a smile: "Father just summoned me and told me everything." ;

Zhao Zheng did not speak.

Zhao Qian laughed and took Zhao Zheng's hand, and said very seriously: "I am a junior, and I can't comment on the right and wrong of the elders, but I can tell you."In my heart, you will always be my most trusted brother Zheng. ;

After saying these words, Zhao Qian walked all the way towards the uterus while pulling Zhao Zheng directly.

After Zhao Zheng heard this answer, he was silent at first, but before he knew it, a smile began to appear on his face.

Suddenly, Zhao Zheng spoke again.

"His Royal Highness, my identity is too sensitive. Otherwise, starting from tomorrow, I'd better resign as the prince's companion." ;

Zhao Qian stopped in his tracks and looked at Zhao Zheng with some doubts.

;Did you take what I just said as a fart?Don't worry, I'm the future emperor of the Great Han Kingdom. If anyone dares to use your status to make irresponsible remarks, I will send him to Lingnan directly, so that he will never come back in his life!

Okay, don't talk nonsense, I've been waiting for you for a long time, I'm so hungry, shut up now, and go to eat with me, we have to continue class tomorrow! ;

In the night, the figures of the two teenagers disappeared one after the other.

Chapter 1210 Only the Great Han Kingdom Can Make People Live a Good Life

This matter seems to have passed so smoothly.

In the following days, Zhao Zheng followed as always, and Zhao Qian went to the intelligence department for an internship as always, and occasionally went to see his mother, but he never went to Ying Zichu's mansion.

Time passed day by day, and the spring of the second year came again.

For the common people of the Han Dynasty, they are actually used to the rhythm of launching a war every year.

It sounds like fighting every year is a very uncomfortable thing for the people of the Han Dynasty, but it is actually not the case.

The current Han Dynasty is actually a country with a very vast territory, which leads to the fact that if a large-scale conquest is desired, and the young and strong people from all over the country go to fight in one place, it will take several months just to walk on the road .

It took a few months to arrive, so wouldn't it be autumn as soon as we set off?

This battle can't go on.

Therefore, in order to prevent this disadvantage from appearing, the Han Kingdom generally uses the principle of mobilization nearby when fighting.

To put it simply, it was like when North Korea was being fought, then the Han Dynasty would be mobilized, and the young and strong peasants from the land of Yan State back then, because it was closer to North Korea.

For example, when fighting south of the Yangtze River and south of the Five Ridges, the Han Kingdom would mobilize the young and strong from the land of the Chu Kingdom.

In the case of fighting the Western Regions, the main mobilization is the young and strong in Guanzhong of Qin State and the Central Plains.

But in general, since most of the selected population of the Han Kingdom lives in the Central Plains, some of the Central Plains citizens will go out each time.

The round-trip journey of these Zhongatom citizens must be much farther than the local people, so the government of the Great Han Kingdom will also provide a subsidy to these people.

To put it simply, when the common people in the Central Plains are serving in the army, they can beat others twice at a time.

In other words, people in other places may have to serve in the military every three years or so, but the people in the Central Plains have the farthest distance to go, so they usually serve in the military every six years or even longer.

Under such circumstances, of course everyone will have no opinion, and there will even be a situation where many people actively serve in the military.

Many shrewd people in the Han Kingdom and the Central Plains feel that the future expansion of the Han Kingdom must be farther and farther away. Instead of running thousands of miles away to fight in three or four years, it is better to go to this country now. The two-thousand-mile war has been fought, and it can be regarded as early and early to save trouble.

In addition, the government of the Han Dynasty is also constantly issuing various policies to encourage the people of the Central Plains to immigrate to the frontier on a large scale.

Migrate to the frontier, so that we can better assimilate the natives in the frontier and make them become members of the Huaxia Ming faster.

Even when Sima Shang led the army to go out this time, 1 immigrants followed Sima Shang. They will go to the Hexi Corridor, which can be regarded as a short journey with Sima Shang.

Sima Shang looked at the fertile fields on the road beside him, with a smile on his face, and said to the two generals beside him, Xiang Yan, and Wang Jian: "I think I followed your majesty to conquer this land back then. At that time, it was still a scene of long wars, but now it is not so much, only a few years have passed, and this place has become so rich, which is enough to prove how the government of the Han Dynasty can benefit the common people."

As one of the highest-level ministers of the Great Han Kingdom, Sima Shang's words are more or less suspected of asking for credit for himself.

But Xiang Yan and Wang Jian nodded in unison after hearing these words.

Xiang Yanweng said in a low voice: "To tell the truth, the general, in fact, last autumn, the general also went back to his hometown, and the prosperity there was also beyond the general's expectation.

Unexpectedly, under the governance of the Han Dynasty, it would recover so quickly, even surpassing the previous most prosperous situation. "

Sima Shang laughed, nodded and said: "Actually, if you want to explore this truth carefully, it is also very simple. No matter what country's government it is, although everyone is persuading farming, there is a problem that no matter who We must be on guard against the war that may come at any time, so it is impossible to concentrate on farming.

But now it’s different, the territory of our Great Han Kingdom has already expanded to thousands of miles away, this is definitely an incomparable good news for the people of the Central Plains, they don’t need to worry about the war will clean up their homes, they can be very Farm here with peace of mind. "

As Sima Shang spoke, he couldn't help expressing emotion: "A long time ago, I actually didn't quite understand the meaning of the unification of the world that His Majesty said, I just simply wanted to pursue military exploits.

But from the current point of view, the meaning of the unification of the world is far beyond my previous imagination. Your Majesty is indeed the strongest emperor in history. This far-sightedness is completely beyond the reach of ordinary people. "

After Sima Shang finished saying this sentence, Xiang Yan and Wang Jian nodded at the same time, obviously in their hearts, they also agreed with this sentence very much.

The army came all the way to Longxi County, which is also the base camp for the western expedition to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Unlike fighting in other places, when Sima Shang set off this time, he did not recruit troops from the Central Plains at all, because of the well-known reasons, that is, the inherent problem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, altitude sickness.

In order to overcome this altitude sickness, Zhao Kuo also started to deploy here a few years earlier, conquering the northern half of Qinghai early, and using this northern half as a base, he left a 5-man army for a long time combat training.

The remaining 5 people are all the soldiers and horses used by the Han Dynasty to conquer other parts of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau this time.

Since the terrain of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is very special, all of these 5 people are cavalry, and each cavalry has three horses to supplement more supplies. Do not continue to march towards the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with the army.

This is also the best combat method obtained by the Great Han Kingdom after combining the combat experience of the past few years.

Although he is still located in the northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Sima Shang has suffered from mild altitude sickness these days, and he is somewhat hypoxic when speaking.

He glanced at Wang Jian and Xiang Yan beside him, and found that Xiang Yan's complexion was also not good-looking, but Wang Jian's expression was quite calm, and his body didn't seem to have any discomfort.

Sima Shang couldn't help asking curiously, "General Wang Jian, are you immune to this altitude sickness?"

Wang Jian smiled, and said to Sima Shang: "To tell you the truth, the general, I actually participated in the battle against the Longxi Qiang people when I was in Qin State, and I have a little bit of experience in reacting to this plateau."

Sima Shang groaned, smiled, and said to Wang Jian: "That would be great. To be honest, let me run from the dense forest in the south of the Lingnan to fight these Qiang people on the plateau. More or less Still a little unaccustomed to it.”

After saying this, Sima Shang began to arrange combat missions.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a very special land, and it is also the highest plateau in the world. The strategy to conquer this place is also very special.

It was immediately decided to divide the troops into three groups, with Sima Shang, Xiang Yan, and Wang Jian each leading a force to attack in three directions on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, because the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is sparsely populated. If the army joins forces and advances all the way, it will take a lot of time to find traces of the Qiang tribe on the plateau.

On the other hand, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is basically dominated by tribes. Due to the characteristics of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, these tribes are actually not large in number. The Musketeers of the Han Dynasty with more than 1 people can easily Run across the plateau without worrying about any possibility of failure.

Based on the above conditions, the troops were divided into three groups. This seemingly large situation became logical and completely explainable.

To put it bluntly, until now, most of the world is still dominated by backward slavery tribes, and even the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau did not completely abolish slavery until the founding of modern China.

As the lowest official among the three, Wang Jian was not responsible for the farthest distance, but the shortest one.

Naturally, Wang Jian immediately objected to this: "At the end of the day, the general hopes to be on the side that conquers the West Road."

The three armies are the east road, the middle road, and the west road. Obviously, the west road is the farthest road.

After Sima Shang heard Wang Jian's words, he laughed and said very seriously: "I am the chief general, and my soldiers and horses are 2, and you two have only 15,000 soldiers and horses. He is the one who should go to the farthest place to take on the most arduous task, otherwise the words will reach His Majesty's ears, and His Majesty may think that I, the general, are greedy for cheap."

Sima Shang's words have reached this point, and Wang Jian naturally has no room to object, so he can only helplessly lead 15,000 cavalry from the north of Qinghai, and directly cross the entire area in an almost vertical line. The easternmost part of the shaped plateau is coming towards the Hengduan Mountains.

This march, except for the very uncomfortable altitude sickness, everything else went very smoothly.

Along the way, I also saw large and small tribes. Most of the tribes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau live a nomadic life of water and grass. After all, the products in this place are really relatively poor. If you stay in one place for a long time, it will be Unbearable.

Among these tribes, when they found Wang Jian's 15,000-strong army, most of them chose to flee, and then they were chased by Wang Jian, and then they chose to surrender.

As for the very few tribes who dared to resist, they were completely unceremonious and wiped out all of them directly.

In just one month, Wang Jian conquered dozens of tribes.

Then, Wang Jian directly gathered these large and small tribes according to the plan he gave when he set off before this, and when it was specific to a scale of tens of thousands of people, he chose a more suitable place for them to build city.

The construction of the city is a big project, but fortunately, it is going forward with a group of military craftsmen. Under the guidance of these military craftsmen, tens of thousands of laborers can build the city quite quickly.

The more important thing is to build the city this time. It does not need to build the city wall. You must know that the wall is the most troublesome in all the processes of building the city.

Once there is no need to build the city wall, the difficulty and amount of construction will be greatly reduced. After all, it is only necessary to build enough houses for tens of thousands of people to live in.

Then the next question is that if these tens of thousands of people gather together, how to solve their food and food and clothing?

Zhao Kuo also brought a solution to this problem. In fact, although the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is very high, it does not mean that there are no crops to grow.

Highland barley and wheat are the main crops in this area, and the sites chosen by Wang Jian to build the city were all inspected by the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture in the navy, and they confirmed that there was enough arable land and water sources around them to grow crops. The final selection of the site and the completion of the construction process will take place only after the work has been completed.

As for why these guys should be unified, of course it is because it is easier to manage if everyone gathers together.

This is the strategy that Zhao Kuo and the officials of the Great Han State said they formulated after research to unify the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and assimilate all the Qiang aborigines in this area at the fastest speed.

You must know that the Qiang nationality is just a very broad term, which is roughly equivalent to "foreigners in the west".

Therefore, the language of the Qiang people is very complicated, even to the point where each tribe has a dialect. If you want each tribe to teach the language and characters of the Great Han Kingdom, then the entire strength of the Great Han Kingdom will be devoted to it. Can't do it.

Moreover, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is so vast. If you really want to spread so many people on this vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, that would be a huge waste of resources for the Han Kingdom. After all, the current Han Kingdom has not even completed the development of the Central Plains. There are Jiangnan, Northeast and other places worthy of development to be developed.

Therefore, it is the best strategy to gather all the conquered tribes as much as possible and assimilate them in a unified way.

Anyway, the Han Kingdom now has weapons that cross the ages. Let alone 15,000 Musketeers, even 1000 Musketeers can easily fight against more than 10 Qiang people.

When a hot weapon treats a cold weapon, it is a one-sided massacre. If there is no massacre, it can only show that the hot weapon is not advanced enough.

In this way, Wang Jian spent a full 6 months building two cities in the east of the plateau.

Don't underestimate these two cities. In order to build these two cities, Wang Jian gathered almost all the Qiang people on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau he saw, and there were about 8 people in total.

Yes, there are only more than 8 people, but they are scattered on the land of at least one million square kilometers that Wang Jian passed through.

Of course, there must be some people who have not been discovered by Wang Jian, but this number is enough to prove how sparsely populated this plateau is.

After a few months, the season of heavy snow will come.

Although it is still autumn, the snow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has already fallen, and no one can leave the city.

Wearing a thick fur coat, Wang Jian looked at the silver-covered city in front of him, and let out a sigh of emotion.

"Perhaps only in the Han Kingdom can it be felt that conquering a place is so easy."

Chapter 1211 Development of Fusang Settlement

Fuso, Honshu Island.

It is already autumn, and there are golden fallen leaves everywhere in the mountains and forests, and people's footsteps step on them, making a rustling sound.

Several households walked towards the foot of the mountain with some difficulty carrying a very heavy wild boar.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a small new village. It is already dusk, and the village is full of smoke.

These households walked into the village, and immediately a dozen children, big and small, rushed out laughingly, surrounded these households, and watched with curious eyes. dead wild boar.

"What a big wild boar, it must weigh at least two or three hundred catties."

"This time the wild boar seems to be bigger than before."

"No, no, the last time the deer was bigger."

Amidst the excited chirping and chattering of the children, Hu, who was walking in the front, waved the musket in his hand with a smile, and said to these children: "If you don't go home for dinner, you will know that you are going around here every day." Turn west, be careful, the old man will smash your ass with a musket!"

The children immediately rushed forward when they heard the words, but they did not leave. Instead, they ran to the tree next to the road one by one, secretly stretched out their eyes, and looked at everything.

Hu with the musket couldn't help but shook his head, and didn't stop the children from playing around.

Another householder said, "Captain Li, should we kill this wild boar or send it to the original place?"

The householder with the musket, that is Captain Li, said: "Just send the wild boar to the butcher and let him slaughter it quickly, otherwise, although the weather is not hot now, it will easily stink. "

After arranging the work of the households, Captain Li did not continue to follow the households to the butcher, but returned to his home with a gun.

As the only person in the village with a musket, to some extent, it was Captain Li's prerogative.

As soon as I got home, I smelled the smell of food, and then a little girl rushed over with a smile: "Oh dad!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Captain Li's face, and he directly hugged the little girl in his arms, stroking the little girl's delicate cheeks with his furry beard.

"Are you being good at home today?

Did you cause trouble for Auntie? "

The little girl said in a childish voice, "Aniang is very happy today, and even praised me."

Captain Li laughed loudly, and walked towards the back room with the little girl in his arms.

As soon as he walked into the back room, he saw a woman walking over with several dishes. This woman was ordinary in appearance and plain in clothes, but she was quite clean. She was Captain Li's wife.

After seeing Captain Li, his wife also smiled and said, "Put the gun down quickly, wash your hands, and then eat."
