Hanhou

Minyue is a branch of Baiyue, which can be traced back to the pre-Qin period.In Zhou Dynasty, Minyue State was established, but it was destroyed by Chu State.Some aristocrats and civilians moved south, and the leader Wuzhu unified the seven provinces, achieving a short-term restoration of the country.

Qin Shihuang unified Lingbei, and the Qin army invaded Baiyue.

Wherever the Qin army's sword pointed, all Yue people surrendered, and Minyue was no exception.

In the 33rd year of Qin Shihuang, Minzhong County was first established.The King of Minyue was stripped of his title, and the land he was in charge of was officially included in the territory of Qin.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the Yue people led the army to rebel against Qin.

The Vietnamese army headed by Wu Zhu et al. joined Liu Bang. Because of their bravery in combat and many meritorious service, after the Han Dynasty, three were crowned kings and 13 were crowned princes.

During the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the king of the South China Sea rebelled and was wiped out by Liu Chang, the king of Huainan of the Han Dynasty.

After the war, the Han army could not be stationed for a long time, and the land of the king of the South China Sea belonged to the king of Minyue.

In the first year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Seven Kingdoms rebelled and were defeated by the king's division.King Liu Bi of Wu fled to Baiyue and was trapped and killed by King Dongou. Prince Liu Ju of Wu Kingdom fled to Minyue, and King Ying of Minyue hid his traces, and was never captured by the court.

Because he resented the king of Dongou for killing his father, Liu Ju often encouraged the king of Minyue to send troops to Dongou. After the king of Nanhai, he would seize the land of the king of Dongou again.Mastering considerable strength, he joined forces with South Vietnam to fight against the Han Dynasty.

"In the past, Zhao Tuo of Nanyue attacked Changsha, took several counties, and claimed to be Emperor Wu. The king is strong and strong, and all his tribes are defeated. Does he not want to go further and honor his descendants?"

Liu Ju's tongue was full of lotus flowers. If he couldn't do it once, he would do it twice, and if he couldn't do it twice, he would do it three times. After three or five times, the King of Minyue was finally persuaded, his head became hot, and he found an excuse at will, and sent troops to attack Dongou.

Unlike King Minyue, who had strong soldiers and strong horses, Dongou was a small country with less than [-] people. In terms of military strength, he was no match for Minyue.Coupled with Liu Ju's relationship, once the city is breached, the courtiers and common people may be able to save their lives, and the king of Dongou will undoubtedly die.

In desperation, the King of Dongou went all out and dispatched more than a dozen troops to the Han Dynasty.

In the letter to the emperor of Han, the king of Dongou did not simply request to send troops, but asked for the whole country to be attached.It is not safe to be neighbors with the King of Minyue, so we simply hugged the thigh of the Han Dynasty and relocated them all.

As for whether the land left behind will be occupied by King Minyue, King Dongou is not worried at all.

The rebellion of the King of the South China Sea was eliminated, and the King of Minyue took advantage of the opportunity. The Han Dynasty did not pursue it, but it does not mean that it did not take it to heart.Because the Han army did not adapt to the local climate and was restrained by Dongou, no more troops were sent out.

Now the king of Minyue jumped to his death, encircled Dongou with soldiers, and broke the Han court's "divide and rule" strategy.

Dongou's request for help was sent to Chang'an. For Liu Che, it was undoubtedly a sleepy gift of a pillow.

Zhao Jia made brown sugar, which showed Liu Che another road to prosperity.There are people in the land, and the supply of raw materials is guaranteed. Compared with the profits that can be obtained, the cost is simply negligible.

In Weiyang Palace, in the propaganda room, there are two memorials in front of Liu Che. One is written by Zhao Jia, detailing the method of sugar production and listing the suitable lands for planting Zhe; the other is sent by Kuaiji County. The king of Ou tearfully asked the Han court to send troops, and allowed the above form attached to Dongou.

After reading the memorabilia several times, Liu Che couldn't hold back his excitement, stood up from behind, walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, then summoned the eunuchs in front of the hall and ordered them to go to the prime minister and the general's residence quickly, He also summoned Da Xing Ling and Tai Nong Ling to meet together.

"Respect!"

In order to save time, the eunuch jumped on his horse as soon as he left the palace, and galloped all the way to various mansions to deliver the emperor's oral order.

Hearing that the emperor called urgently, several people did not dare to delay, they all arranged their clothes as quickly as possible, rode their horses across the south of the city, and were summoned to the palace to have an audience.

The prime minister, the great general, the Da Xing Ling and the Tai Nong Ling galloped south of the city, especially the senior prime minister Wei Wan, who made such a move was obviously unusual.

Before the four of them arrived at Weiyang Palace, the news spread in the city.Except for the courtiers, all the princes and kings who arrived in Beijing have heard of it.They all began to speculate why Liu Che summoned the important officials at this time, and how urgent the matter was, and he couldn't even wait overnight.

A hard-core court man like Dai Wang, after being surprised, still eats well and sleeps soundly, doing what he should do.Compared with the sudden urgent call of the emperor, he paid more attention to the upcoming autumn hunting, calculating how much he could gain, and did not worry about anything bad happening to him.

Other princes and kings did not have such an easy time.

Especially the kings who procrastinated on the matter of salt and iron and minting coins, who had been doing a lot of things in secret, their hearts were hanging in their throats at this moment, lest Liu Che suddenly lose his temper and want to attack himself.

Following Liu Che's oral order, it is unknown how many people will be unable to sleep at night in the south of Chang'an.

Regardless of Wei Wan's advanced age and the aura of "old age", when he is serious, his skills are no less than back then.Riding the horse and galloping all the way, Dou Ying and the three first arrived in front of Weiyang Palace.

"Your Majesty urgently summoned us to wait. Could it be that there is another war in the frontier?"

As far as Changan bosses are concerned, the real imminent situation that makes Liu Che anxious is that he basically doesn't think about it except for the provocative jumping of the Huns in the north.

Although they knew about Dongou's request for help, as Zhao Jia thought, none of the court realized that there was fertile soil in the south, let alone the internal chaos among the Yue people.

The most typical example is that in the early years of the Nanhai King's rebellion, there was no need for the imperial court to send troops. At that time, the Huainan King sent troops to directly beat him up, which was almost effortless.

In the eyes of the four, if the Yue people are in civil strife, it is more than enough to transfer the county soldiers.Naturally, Liu Che's summoning would not be linked with the Minyue and Dongou incidents.

Before the treasure chest was opened, in the eyes of the nobles in Chang'an, the Baiyue in the south was basically worthless, and it was not at all as important as the Xiongnu in the grassland.

With the development of livestock farms, a large amount of wool, poultry down and meat products flowed into the counties, and they went to Fanbang with the caravan market. The huge profits made Chang'an more determined to beat the Xiongnu, and it was inevitable to win the rich pastures.

Compared to the benefits delivered by the draft, what's on the South Side?

Returning and rebelling, capricious barbarians, perennial miasma, poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Before meeting Liu Che, Wei Wan, Dou Ying and the others had made many kinds of guesses. Even the idea that the Huns were unwilling to be defeated and sent troops to the south had turned in their minds a few times, but they didn't connect the matter with Baiyue.

As a result, when he walked into the propaganda room and saw Liu Che, the emperor first pushed a box of brown sugar processed into cubes, and then put out the memorials sent by Zhao Jia and Kuaiji, explaining the relationship in a simple and neat way.

"What do you think?" Liu Che pointed to the brown sugar in the box and said, "This thing is made by Zhe, the process is not difficult, and the cost is not high. The raw materials needed can be grown in hundreds of places."

Regarding the matter of rice, Zhao Jia did not mention it in the memorial.

Zhe pulp has existed since ancient times, and it tastes very sweet. It is not beyond common sense to think of boiling sugar.

Rice is not.

He was born in Yunzhong County, grew up in the borderlands, and had never been to the south. How did he know about rice cultivation, and how did he conclude that Baiyue is suitable for rice cultivation, and that it can produce two or three crops a year?

If you want to be justified and do not make people suspicious, it is best to find local people and get first-hand information.

However, even if there is no rice, there are huge profits from sugar making, which is exciting enough.

After listening to Liu Che's explanation of the benefits, and passing through Zhao Jia's memorandum, and then looking at the request for help from the King of Dongou, the eyes of the four court chiefs were all brightened, and their mouths were shining brightly.

"Your Majesty governs all countries. Today, a small country is in urgent need of military difficulties. Please be attached to it, and you should cover it with virtue to save it from difficulties. Moreover, Minyue is capricious, and has long been disobedient. It should be punished with force." Da Xingling Wang Hui road.

The zhe for boiling sugar was offered by the king of Changsha, and among the kingdoms, Changsha is the closest to Baiyue.It can be inferred from this that it is entirely feasible to win the land of Baiyue and promote Zhe planting.

As for the country of Changsha being next to South Vietnam instead of Minyue, it is not a big problem.

During the period of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, proclaimed his vassal to the Han Dynasty, and the Nanyue Kingdom and the Han Dynasty sent envoys to each other, opened mutual markets, and lived in peace with each other.

When Empress Lu came to the court, the court ordered to ban the export of ironware to Nanyue, and the relationship between Zhao Tuo and the court became increasingly tense.The imperial court sent a large army to the south, but returned without success because they did not adapt to the local climate. Zhao Tuo sent troops to attack Changsha, and declared himself emperor, completely tearing his face.

When Emperor Wen ascended the throne, Zhao Tuo was persuaded by Han envoys to return to Han again and become a vassal state again.It's just that although he surrendered on the surface, he was still called the emperor in the country with his back against the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che didn't need to find any excuses if he wanted to attack South Vietnam. Zhao Tuo, as a vassal, dared to continue to proclaim himself emperor, so it was reasonable to send troops.

As for Dongou's request for help, the county soldiers can be transferred.

In the land of Baiyue, Minyue's soldiers are indeed strong.But compared with the Han army, it is still like a mayfly defending a tree.

Before occupying the territory of the King of the South China Sea, Chang'an had already made a note of it.According to the letter delivered by King Dongou, Liu Ju, the former crown prince of Wu, was hiding in Minyue. The combination of the two events was enough for Chang'an to chop melons and vegetables for King Minyue, making it a complete history.

"The local miasma is pervasive, hot and humid, and there are many snakes and insects. In the past, Marquis Lu of Long sent troops to South Vietnam, but before reaching Nanling, many of his soldiers suffered from illnesses, and no one was captured. If an army is launched today, a long-term plan must be considered to prevent the recurrence of the past."

Wei Wan agrees to send troops, but he has learned from the past and cannot act recklessly.The soldiers in the north were not used to the hot and humid climate, and they rushed south without sufficient preparation, and they might encounter the same predicament as Zhou Zao's army.

Dou Ying seconded this statement.

With the benefit of brown sugar, the land of Baiyue must be won, but things cannot be rushed.

Just experienced a great battle with the Xiongnu, and the gains were remarkable, and the loss of the frontier army was also not small.The kings of Jian arrived in Beijing one after another, and their attitudes towards sharing the benefits of salt and iron and handing over the right to mint coins were loosened. At this time, stability is the best.

At this moment, Tai Nongling suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Changsha is rich in rice, and South Vietnam is close to Changsha, so it can also grow rice."

The predecessor of Tainongling was the internal history of Zhisu, which was mainly in charge of the country's taxation, money and grain.As the name suggests, the boss sitting in this position must have a certain understanding of farming.

He hadn't paid attention to Baiyue before, so he naturally didn't think about the food problem.Liu Che called him into the palace to ask about sugar cane planting, but he didn't expect rice.

It can only be said that it was unintentional. As a big man in charge of grain taxation, he has solid basic knowledge. When the emperor mentioned Changsha and asked about the local climate and planting conditions, his mind flashed.

Changsha state-owned Zhe, Nanyue can also grow Zhe.Changsha is rich in rice, and South Vietnam is close to it, so it must be able to grow it.Pushed to the land of Baiyue, it is another grain producing area!

After some analysis by the Tainong Order, the grain production area that Zhao Jiashang could not propose was accidentally unveiled and placed in front of Liu Che.

It can not only grow Zhe to make sugar, but also produce a lot of food, feed the people, and increase taxes for the court. It is unreasonable not to take such a site!

Liu Che pressed the melody with his hands, his eyes burning.

The four of Wei Wan understood the meaning of the emperor, and at the same time expressed their position that as long as the conditions are met, the soldiers will not adapt to the environment and suffer from many diseases, and the army will go south at any time.
