After the battle, Huang Shang first rewarded his meritorious service, second dealt with post-war affairs, and third recruited famous generals such as Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, and sent all the members of the Sun family to Jiaozhou for retirement.

The first two things are easy to talk about. It is no problem to send the Sun family to Jiaozhou for the elderly, but the recruitment of famous generals such as Zhou Yu and Tai Shici has encountered considerable obstacles.

Then Tai Shici vowed not to surrender, and Zhou Yu just wanted to go home to retire and be a teacher.

As for other second- and third-rate generals, those who were willing to surrender were reassigned to work, and those who did not accept surrender were sent directly to reform through labor.

They are not first-class or even historical famous generals like Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, Huang Shang will not be used to them.

However, Zhou Yu and Tai Shici's refusal to surrender was indeed a problem.

Fortunately, he has a way.

A few days later, Zhou Yu's family and Tai Shici's family were sent to Jiaozhou.

His solution is to let these two diehards live a good life in Jiaozhou, observe for two years, and see what the people in Jiaozhou are living.Is the future of Jiaozhou brighter than that of other princes?

Anyway, the main task in the next few years is to absorb and develop Jiangdong, and he will not consider expansion for the time being. He has enough time to wait for Zhou Yu and Tai Shici to change their minds.

In addition, there is a small episode.

Before sending Sun's family and Zhou Yu's family to Jiaozhou, he met Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in this world.

Emmm, how should I say it!These two sisters are not bad looking, relatively fair and clean, but they are at the level of modern class beauty, which is really not in line with the status of the most beautiful women in history.

It may be that his fantasies about ancient beauties are too good. In this era, it is difficult for ordinary people to eat enough, and it is not easy to eat salt for three meals a day. Even if Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were born in wealthy families, they would not In an era of insufficient maintenance and nutrition, it is difficult to look good.

The facial features are pleasing to the eye, and the skin is fair, which is already very rare. What's more, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in this period are old women who have already married and given birth to children. It is already very good to maintain their current demeanor. too high.

After experiencing several worlds, Huang Shang really felt that if the beauties in history were placed in modern times, they would be roughly at the level of Internet celebrities. Beauty is beautiful, but that's all.

The reason why they can leave a name in history is almost always related to politics.For example, which of the four beauties is not a key figure who changed history?

Even Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are famous in history because they married Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Otherwise, there are so many beauties in the world, who would remember them?

Similarly, if Luoshen Zhen Mi hadn't been related to Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, who would remember a widow whose husband died?

The so-called historically famous beauties basically follow this routine. In the era of these historical beauties, there must have been more beautiful women than them, but because they were not recorded in the history books, they were all buried in the dust of history.

After seeing Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Huang Shang lost interest in Diao Chan and Cai Wenji.No matter how beautiful it is, it can't be more beautiful than a beauty filter. The Lier in Huang Feihong's laughing story is no worse than them.

It took a few months to reorganize Jiangdong's various government and military affairs, abolish what should be abolished, and reuse what should be reused. Those Confucian officials who have no skills and only know empty talk are sent home to take their children to play.Some capable officials and cadres were transferred according to the situation, but more official positions were occupied by young officials who had been trained for several years in Jiaozhou.

In addition, Huang Shang also did a big thing, which was to take back the land annexed by the aristocratic family, distribute all of it to the local people, and then copy the set of Jiaozhou to strengthen his rule over Jiangdong.

Of course, there were aristocratic families who refused to hand over the land obediently, Huang Shang didn't talk nonsense, and directly sent troops to kill these aristocratic families.

Homes are ransacked, but the clan is not exterminated. Among these people, the men will be sent to the construction site for reform through labor. As for the women, the less beautiful ones will be sent to technical schools for training, and they will be able to find jobs in the future; A minister, whether as a daughter-in-law or a concubine, is an effective means to win over subordinates.

Under Huang Shang's iron-blooded suppression, half a year later, all the aristocratic families in Jiangdong and Jiaozhou were wiped out, which laid an important foundation for his planning of Jiangdong.

The news that Huang Shang's Jiaozhou army defeated Sun Quan and occupied Jiangdong in a few months quickly spread to other states in the Han Dynasty as if they had grown wings.

Among them, Cao Cao in the north and Liu Biao in Jingzhou were the most shocked. Sichuan and Shu were not affected much due to geographical reasons, but Ma Teng and Han Sui in the frontier of Xiliang were very surprised when they heard the news. How did the Jiaozhou pastor train the Jiaozhou soldiers?Even Jiangdong couldn't resist it and was annexed by it.

In short, Jiaozhou's annexation of Jiangdong became a battle that shocked the world and even changed the situation in the world.

After annexing Jiangdong, Huang Shang has a population of more than 1000 million, accounting for one-third of the entire Han Dynasty. Cao Cao in the north just defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu two years ago. Although Yuan Shao died of illness, his three sons But he is still lingering, making Cao Cao unable to unify the north immediately, so the population under Cao Cao's current rule is only two million, which is only one-fifth of the population under Huang Shang's rule.

And even if Cao Cao kills Yuan Shao's three sons in the next few years and unifies the north, the total population is estimated to be about 1000 million.

With Huang Shang's governance ability and the assistance of high-yield grain, the total population of Jiaozhou and Jiangdong was estimated to have exceeded 3000 million at that time. What would Cao Cao use to play with him?

What's more, Jingzhou with a population of about 300 million is waiting for Huang Shang to slaughter.

That is to say, Huang Shang temporarily put his focus on the development of Jiangdong, and he couldn't make a move for the time being. After two years, he would definitely not be able to escape Jingzhou.

By that time, Huang Shang had almost occupied the entire south of Dahan, the real half of the country.

Where there is food, there is a population, and where there is correct governance, there is a hotbed for reproduction. Even if Huang Shang shrinks back for the next 20 years, he will concentrate on developing the economy, culture, construction, industry and agriculture in the south...

In a state of maintaining peace and having more than enough food and clothing, and letting the common people let go of their lives, it will definitely not be a problem for the population of the entire southern region to exceed 20 million in [-] years.

At that time, with a national strength of 20 million people, it will not be easy to fight against the northern regime that has been in chaos for 1000 years and has a population of less than [-] million.

But this is just a hypothesis, he can't hide in the south for 20 years, if during these 20 years, Zhao Zilong and Luo Ping'an die of illness, or die in some accident, how can he complete the task?

Therefore, he will definitely take advantage of Zhao Zilong and Luo Ping'an's youth and strength to rule the world as soon as possible, let Luo Ping'an return to his hometown, and disarm Zhao Zilong.

After this Jiangdong battle, Luo Ping'an has been promoted to a fifth-rank partial general, which belongs to the permanent general of the Han Dynasty, not a miscellaneous general.

With Luo Ping'an's ability, it's basically over if he can get to this rank.Moreover, 'Changshan' happens to be in the territory of Jiangdong (where to go for reason), so Luo Ping'an can return home in good clothes.

With an attitude of giving it a try, Huang Shang gave Luo Pingan a three-month long vacation shortly after the end of the war, allowing him to return to Changshan to visit his parents, relatives and friends, and gave him a lot of rewards.

As for Zhao Zilong, he was temporarily left to garrison at the border so as not to steal Luo Pingan's limelight.

Zhao Zilong is now a fourth-rank Xiaoqi guerrilla general, which is an affirmation of his ability to lead an army alone.

And Luo Ping'an is destined to be just a pioneer.

Fortunately, shortly after Luo Ping'an returned to Changshan, the side mission 2 was completed.

Now, only the main task of unifying the world and the side task of disarming Zhao Zilong when the world is at peace are left.

Chapter 52

Two years passed unknowingly.

In the past two years, Huang Shang has completely digested the entire Jiangdong. Under the guidance of ten masters with full-level agricultural skills, Jiangdong has had a bumper harvest in the past two years. It is no longer enough to describe its harvest with a full warehouse. Merchants came to Jiangdong to buy food one after another, so that the people in other states were full. This was the real situation that satisfied Huang Shang and worried the warlords in other states.

All the high-yielding crops and grains controlled by Huang Shang are kept in his own hands. Only during the planting season will they be distributed to farmers according to the registration of each household. As for the grains sold out, they are all processed flour and rice. , cornmeal, dried sweet potatoes, potato flour, etc., there is no possibility of saving seeds by yourself.

Holding high-yielding grain seeds in their hands, the warlords in other states can't get it.In order for the people under their own rule to have enough food, they can only rely on "imports" to maintain governance. Otherwise, the poor people or refugees who can't eat enough under their rule will go to Jiangdong and Jiaozhou one after another, and it will be over.

Fortunately, they 'imported' grain from Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, because in the first year Huang Shang captured Jiangdong, all the warlords strictly enforced the policy of not being allowed to buy grain from Jiangdong and Jiaozhou for a year in order to stabilize the farmland under their rule.

The results of it?

More than [-] people fled to Jiangdong that year. The warlords in other states quickly suspended this policy. They could only watch the grain merchants under their rule go to Jiangdong and Jiaozhou to buy grain, but there was nothing they could do.

Those aristocratic families who annexed the land turned into a loss-making business because of farming. These years, they hated Huang Shang so much. Although they couldn't kill Huang Shang on the battlefield, they must not forget how Sun Ce died.

So in the past year, as many as three figures of dead soldiers slept in the open, and found Huang Shangzhi's place step by step, trying to assassinate him.

But whether Huang Shang is at home or out, there will always be a group of guards around him, making it impossible for them to attack. On the contrary, under the management of the household registration system, all migrants will be monitored by the local government and even the people. As long as there is something wrong with the visitor , then don't even think about leaving.

Although these dead soldiers possess unique skills, they also need to eat. When they are sleeping or buying food, a group of well-trained soldiers will surround them soon.

And then... no more.

In one year, the three-digit number of dead soldiers were wiped out without even touching a single hair of Huang Shang.

Although when the confession was being extracted, these dead men would rather die than recruit, and they did die in the end, but Huang Shang didn't care about the origins of these dead men.He thought with his heels and knew that the people in this world who wanted to kill him, besides those powerful families with land, who else could be there?

Anyway, after he goes out to fight, these people will all die, and Huang Shang is very tolerant towards some people who are about to die.

Jianye, that is, Moling, since Huang Shang conquered Jiangdong, changed Moling to Jianye, which means "constructing meritorious deeds" and unabashedly revealing his ambition for self-reliance.

This is simply intolerable for Cao Cao, who holds Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty, but he has not yet unified the north, nor does he have enough forces to jointly attack Huang Shang.

Liu Biao?

Do not make jokes.

If Liu Biao dared to go to war, Jingzhou would have to change masters within half a year at the most.

Although Liu Biao didn't dare to do anything, Huang Shang would definitely do it. Who made Jingzhou next to Jiangdong and Jiaozhou!If you don't hit you, who will you hit?

But who wants to be the Lord of Jingzhou for one more day, who wants to be one less?

In the past two years, Liu Biao has also suffered from bulimia due to worry. As long as he feels stressed, he will eat. It is said that Liu Biao was a handsome old man with a standard figure two years ago, but now he has become an old fat man.

Judging from the information obtained by Huang Shang, this Liu Biao may have already had a relatively serious three highs, and his heart may not be good, so he probably won't live for a few years.

So, if you don't have a heart that can withstand high pressure, don't be a warlord in troubled times, or you will scare yourself to death before fighting, why bother!

On this day, after Huang Shang inspected the autumn harvest, the smile on his face never stopped.

Although the coastal areas were hit by typhoons in summer, this year is still a bumper harvest year. The harvested grain is enough for 5000 million people to feed for a year, but now the entire population of Dahan is less than [-] million, so some of the grain can be sold In addition, Huang Shang also allows the folks to make their own wine, and will even hold a wine tasting party next spring. At that time, three awards will be awarded, gold, silver and bronze. As long as they are awarded, the official will be responsible for promoting these famous wines in Dahan.

At that time, not to mention the high price of the sale, it can even be remembered in history.

This is a great benefit for those who are good at brewing wine. Many people have already put all their energy into preparing for this wine tasting event. The high price is the second, and the main reason is the opportunity to leave a name in history.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to leave their names in the history books, especially a group of common people who make wine.Now Huang Shang has provided them with such a good opportunity, but anyone who is a bit ambitious does not want to miss it.

In fact, in addition to the wine tasting event, Huang Shang also launched a gourmet event a few years ago, using brand-new grains to make brand-new delicacies, and then through the official promotion of these delicacies to every corner of the Han world, earning fame and money.

Today's gourmet fair is already in its sixth session, and all kinds of gourmet food have been promoted and served on the tables of countless rich people. Even ordinary civilians have affordable snacks for ordinary people.

But the poor have no choice. It is not easy for the poor to have enough food, so how can they have money to buy snacks.

Therefore, Huang Shang has been taking "letting the people in the world have enough food, clothing, warmth and money" as his mission in recent years, and he has continued to promote it in the army and the government. Fight for the Lord's wish all his life.

Now that Jiaozhou and Jiangdong are under their own governance, it is no longer a problem for the common people to have enough to eat, but clothing is still a problem.In the past two years, Huang Shang has been trying to find a way to import cotton seeds from the Western Regions. In addition, he is also promoting the people under his rule to raise more ducks and geese, and then the officials will come forward to recycle duck and goose down. At the same time, he is also doing business with the nomads in the north. , exchanging grain for wool.

Everything is to develop the textile industry and make the people under the rule warm.

However, the development of the textile industry takes a long time. Unlike growing grain, it can be harvested in the same year. This is a long-term development plan, and the current scale can barely supply millions of people.

Because the scale is insufficient and the cost is relatively high, ordinary people still wear coarse linen clothes.

In fact, this is already very good. There are many civilians and refugees who have just escaped from the north. Quite a few of them don’t even have clothes. Those who are a bit ashamed will weave a grass skirt to cover their shame. Some are already numb and don’t even bother to wear a grass skirt. Just ran over with bare buttocks.

In order to accommodate these people, Huang Shang spent a lot of money.

well!Born in troubled times, the life of the people is bitter!

That's why Huang Shang also hated those aristocratic families who annexed the land even more. He killed all the gentry from Jiaozhou, and it was still the same when he arrived in Jiangdong.Even Sun Quan was driven to Jiaozhou for retirement by him, and the land of Zhou Yu's family was also confiscated.

Maybe this is the reason why Zhou Yu refused to accept the surrender?

But it doesn't matter, through the training of the past few years, Huang Shang has selected a group of qualified talents among the school graduates, and these talents are now filled to serve in various departments under the administration. not affected in the slightest.

Rather, he could implement the decree more smoothly without the interference of noble officials.

Now, Huang Shang has become the biggest natural enemy of all the aristocratic families in the Han world, and the aristocratic families wish to get rid of him quickly.

But the place Huang Shang governs is becoming more and more prosperous, and the combat effectiveness of the army is getting stronger and stronger. I heard that many shipyards have been opened on the southern coast. It sounds scary to build sea warships and navies that can sail across the sea. .Coupled with the inexhaustible food and the support of the people, it really pissed off the family.

Now there is a saying that is widely circulated among the aristocratic family: If the yellow thief does not die, we must die.

Faced with this situation, the powerful families are all increasing their support for the rulers in their places, especially the powerful families under Cao Cao's rule. They really wish that Cao Cao would immediately go south to destroy Huang Shang.It's a pity that the north has not been settled, so they can only donate more money and food, hoping that Cao Cao will calm down the north as soon as possible.

As long as Cao Cao unifies the north, with tens of millions of people under his rule, he can completely fight Huang Shang.

There are many cavalry in the north. As long as it is a decisive battle on the plains, Huang Shang's southern infantry is definitely no match.

On the contrary, if Cao Cao had a decisive battle with Huang Shang on the river, he had to be mentally prepared for the entire army to be wiped out.

The only question now and in the future is where to fight?

Death is inevitable on the river, but if you don't cross the river, you have to face the continuous expansion of Huang Shangxia's population.Once the population under Huang Shang's rule has an overwhelming advantage, Cao Cao may not be Huang Shang's opponent even in a decisive battle in the Jiangbei Plain.

Originally, many court officials hoped that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would decree to take back Huang Shang's official position as Jiaozhou Mu, but Huang Shang had changed Moling into Jianye, and his idea of ​​self-reliance was clearly revealed. Even if the imperial court decreed to take back his status as Jiaozhou Mu ?Jiaozhou and Jiangdong are already Huang Shang's territory, who would dare to stab him?

How hateful!

If the yellow thief does not die, we must die!

I am at odds with the yellow thief!

Just when the aristocratic family was gnashing their teeth and wanted to kill Huang Shang, Huang Shang began to recruit troops shortly after the autumn harvest, forming a total of [-] troops, stationed troops in Jiangxia, and then sent a letter of persuasion to Liu Biao.

In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, the gentry in Jingzhou, represented by Cai Mao, took the initiative to open the door and surrender during Cao Cao's Northern Expedition, and gave the entire Jingzhou to Cao Cao.Huang Shang also wanted to try, if he could defeat others without fighting?

But he thought too much.

What he did in this world was not in the interests of the gentry at all, so none of the officials in Jingzhou persuaded Liu Biao to surrender, and all of them made a gesture of vowing to live and die with Jingzhou, which made Huang Shang very helpless.

Since he refused to surrender, he had no choice but to fight.

In mid-October, a [-]-strong army crossed the river to attack Xiakou and launched an all-out war against Jingzhou.

Chapter 53 Dimensionality Reduction Strike

In late October, Xiangyang, hurry up and report.

"Report! My lord! Maicheng was destroyed, General Zhang Yun died in battle, and the bandit army... can't be stopped!"
