Chapter 146: Moving to the South
"Secretary Secretary, I don't know what the court officials said." Jia Nanfeng closed the box and walked out and happened to see Zhang Hua. He began to ask about the scene at the court meeting. At this time, she was proud and all the royal family members Yang fell down. The entire Jin Dynasty was already in her own hands. The King of Yan in the southern expedition was also very responsible. He did not gather 100,000 troops to make a plan as if it were some rumors.
"The court officials agreed and I believe the canal will start soon." Zhang Hua lowered his head slightly and said everything at the court meeting. It was so united and happy.
Jia Nanfeng's mouth raised slightly, which was not surprising at all! The famous scholars of the Jin Dynasty were very rich. In addition to Shi Chong and Wang Kai, there were also Pei Kai, Le Guang, Wang Yan, Yu Qi, Wang Cheng, Ruan Zhan, Wei Jie, and Xie Kun, all of whom were from aristocratic families, and none of them were poor.
Although the famous scholar Wang Yan was extraordinary and disliked the custom of money, he called it "Adu" if he despised him, his family's money could fill his bedroom and block his way out. Wang Rong, a famous scholar who was assisting the government at the same time as Zhang Hua, was both noble and rich, and was extremely wealthy. He was a member of the house, a child, a pawn, a field, and a water mill. In addition, Wang Ji and Wuzi used glassware for food, and more than a hundred maids, who were dressed in silk, silk and satin to serve, and pigs used for cooking were fed with human milk.
There are many famous scholars in Luoyang, either rich or noble. They enclose land and build houses. The land in Luoyang is just the local land. Of course, some of them cannot support the expenses of so many famous scholars. Huainan grain has become increasingly important to Luoyang. The famous scholars are too rich, and the national treasury seems to be a little empty, because they are too rich, which makes Luoyang's goods seem to be unable to support their consumption.
The kings and princes all have fiefs, and these fiefs are all divided from the country's land. The properties on the fiefs were originally to be handed over to the national treasury, but now they are owned by the marquis and other individuals, so the number of fiefs directly affects the country's finances. Marquises and dukes everywhere are rich, while enriching individuals, the country's fiscal revenue is reduced and the national strength is weakened.
"These famous scholars all agree, and the rare consensus is unanimous." Jia Nanfeng said with a smile, "It seems that Qingxuan is going to return to the court in a short time. Unfortunately, when he comes back, the King of Runan is no longer there, otherwise it would be interesting."
The reason why Sima Ji fought in the south was because he was taken away by Sima **, the King of Runan. If Sima Liang was still alive, he would inevitably have another tit-for-tat confrontation. Zhang Hua silently said nothing and was unwilling to speak on this matter.
"However, the King of Yan said that he would build two cities and then come back, one for the capital of the prefecture, named Lancang, and across the river is the capital of Funan. The move of the king of Yan is very mysterious." Zhang Hua spoke in detail about Sima Ji's plan and told Jia Nanfeng that the King of Yan might not be able to return to the sea in a short time and is undertaking the final work.
At this time, the Xianbei cavalry divided into many squads and attacked everywhere, mobilizing the entire Funan Kingdom, as far as the upper reaches of the Lancang River, specializing in looting, robbing, killing cattle, sheep and other supplies, which dealt a heavy blow to the local tribes.
Xianbei cavalry bypassed the city and specifically attacked the lonely villages in the wild. First of all, they did not kill people, but specifically robbed things. Although the population of each tribe did not suffer much loss, cattle, sheep, food and daily necessities suffered heavy losses.
When the things are snatched, it is time to catch people. This is not just Murong Yun does it himself. If you focus on Funan Capital, people will find that Sima Ji is not much stronger than Murong Yun at all. It is just that Hu Qi does this in the wild and he does this in Funan Capital.
"The southward migration must be carried out. If you don't agree, you will kill me. Kill a few people for Funan to see, and they will naturally support the southward migration. Otherwise, they will not have a memory." Sima Ji ordered the soldiers of the imperial guards without changing his face, and proved with practical actions that Hu Qi's Taoist skills are nothing, he is even more cruel than Hu people.
He has some boats, and 2,500 large boats are enough to deal with Funan people. If they are not enough, it doesn’t matter. Cut down trees and rebuild them. The raw materials are ready-made. The waterways can also improve efficiency and reduce patients along the way.
On the east side of the Lancang River, Zuti did something similar, and he was also investigating tribes that had not been discovered. However, it was not as direct as the King of Yan. To the west of the Changshan Mountains and to the east of the Lancang River, Zuti was swept away areas.
The main mountain range of the Indochina Peninsula, the watershed between the Mekong River and the South China Sea system, parallel to the coast, roughly in a gentle arc with the northwest-southeast direction, and is the dividing mountain ridge between Vietnam and Laos. The geological structure of the mountains is complex. In later generations, this was the western border of Vietnam, and the Changshan Mountains blocked Vietnam's pace of progress toward the west.
If Vietnam uses anthropomorphic metaphor, the Changshan Mountains are equivalent to a person's skeleton, and Hengshan Pass is in the middle of the Changshan Mountains.
"General Zu Ti said that everything else is easy to say, but the tribes in the mountains are not easy to contact. It is simple. If you win, you should not be the one who can win and be given an official seal!" Listening to the messenger sent by Zu Ti, Sima Ji was helpless when he thought of the terrain of the Changshan Mountains.
Theoretically, the King of Yan also hopes that the country will be as unified as possible. It is better to eliminate the language differences. That is a good thing. The whole country looks the best. But it will be a joke when it is implemented, and it is impossible to succeed at all.
Just like the fragmented terrain of Jiangnan, and now with the more fragmented terrain of the Indochina Peninsula, things that are almost destined to happen in ten miles. Once this happens, there is a risk of separatism. If they are unified, they cannot be expected to be relied on. After he returns to the court, he will think of ways in the North China Plain and Northeast China in the future.
If you have dealt with Northeast China, you can control other sections even if you cause chaos. Because North China and Northeast China are two complete sections. As for becoming a single ethnic society like Japan and South Korea, you don’t have to think about it. One isolated island and one peninsula, the Chinese court can turn China like that again, and this ruling power can beat aliens.
The Yan King can't even ate a small Changshan Mountain Range now, and he can't waste time playing hide-and-seek with the tribes inside, so he can only treat it with kindness. Anyway, living in the mountains, he will not be destined to have a large population.
"When the fire burns this old capital, who can still stay?" Tang Shen suggested viciously.
Sima Ji glanced at the other party, causing Tang Shen to stir up his heart, and then he said in a lengthening voice, "It's not impossible, but we can't do it with our own hands, send the torches down and let them burn them on their own."
"Your Highness is wise!" Tang Shen immediately admitted his mistake, "In this way, these Funan people will never come back, Gao!"
"It has nothing to do with Gao Ming, it's better to be vicious." Sima Ji spoke without any concealment. He had to remind himself that what he did now is a bad thing, and he should not think it is natural like those gentry. Once this perception is changed, he can do this in Funan today and in the future in the Central Plains.
He could order the city here to slaughter the city without blinking, and he might slaughter the city in the Central Plains without blinking. Maybe then, a later generation, would have been accustomed to it and would not think that there was anything wrong with his behavior.
Why did King Yan always get along with the Hu people? Because he knew that his behavior was no different from that of the Hu people. However, he cherished his feathers more than the Hu people. In fact, the Han people treated the more southern nations, but there was no difference between them and the Hu people constantly being held in a state of restraint.
Sima Ji has seen the ethnic distribution map. Later generations of Thailand and Myanmar are both cross-border ethnic groups. Have these two countries ever reversed the Central Plains dynasty? If the historical records are correct, Myanmar has tried it twice, but neither succeeded. Since it has not been successful, then there is only one possibility that the main ethnic group of Myanmar and Thailand will appear in China.
The main ethnic groups of these two countries once lived in China, so some people became ethnic minorities in China in later generations, but at a certain period of time, they were pushed to the Indochina Peninsula by the people of the Central Plains.
"The Funan people take the initiative to move south, which is really aware of the current affairs." In front of Tang Chen, Sima Ji leaked a little. He didn't want to leave any evidence that he forced the Funan people to move south, so what should he do?
"The people of Funan are inspired by the kindness of the Supreme People and take the initiative to move south. Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much." Tang Chen said in the conversation, "No one will record this matter. The young general has already told the military clerk, so he will definitely not talk too much."
"I don't know how the wood was prepared by the Guangzhou Navy. When the Mahjong newspaper came to report, the south migration began." Sima Ji thought for a while and felt that there was no problem. After the southern expedition, he believed that the richest man in the Great Jin Dynasty would be replaced. What about Shi Chong and Wang Kai, it was just doing business and monopolizing. He, King Yan, robbed the treasury of the two countries as soon as he made a move.
In the ninth month of the southern expedition of King Yan, abortions appeared in the land near the capital of Funan, which had almost never appeared in this country. The composition of these abortions included the Funan people in central Funan and the surrounding tribes. They were all robbed by Murong Yun for a long time and were forced to surrender and let them deal with it.
According to my explanation from Dajin, these people who took the initiative to sell themselves, and were completely different from the slaves who tied them up to sell. Murong Yun led the Hu Qi to sweep the circle every ten or eight days, and did not kill and destroy them specifically. If Sima Ji had not withdrawn his troops, these tribes would sooner or later starve to death.
People from all tribes were scared, and they were very honest and actively cooperated with the southern migration work of the Southern Expedition Army. They packed up their fine and soft work, brought farm tools, and marched south under the escort of the Southern Expedition Army. The crowds gathered more and more.
After the King of Yan, who had already plundered the Funan Palace and the residences of various officials, loaded the robbed treasures on ships, he asked the imperial guards to hand them to the torches of the first-class people in the country. Seeing these people burning the old capital with their own hands, the fire burned wildly and soon spread throughout the city.
Many Funan people who set fire with their own hands lowered their heads, not daring to cry, for fear that the soldiers who were watching their imperial guards saw them. Finally, they lowered their heads and joined the crowd. Sima Ji looked at the Funan Capital, which had successfully destroyed the corpse, and suddenly felt proud in his heart, "A peaceful and prosperous era."
