Chapter 634 Southern Expedition
There are flags on both sides of the Jiankang River in Yangzhou, and soldiers ready to go are arranged in densely. The spears and halberds pierced into the sky like dense forests. The sharp blades flashed dazzling light in the sun.
"Your sins are unforgivable. Now you can only reimburse the court by giving your life. My great Jin ruled the country according to law. If this southern expedition was not inevitable, you would have been executed one by one. Now, in order to cleanse your sins, you can only move forward bravely and create a bright world for the people. As King Yan said, forgetting both right and wrong is a new beginning of your life. Every time you kill an extra enemy, you will seize a piece of land for the people. Do you understand? After victory, all the previous crimes will be forgiven."
"My husband will die and serve the Great Jin Dynasty!" Thousands of soldiers looked ferocious and full of fierce aura. The fierce eyes made people dare not look at them. There seemed to be nothing to shake them.
After Sima Ji fought the Eight Kings Rebellion, he suppressed bandits across the country. However, the process of beating rabbits was not to eliminate all the bandits in the country, but in fact he could not do it. Instead, he controlled all these scumbag criminals and built things similar to later concentration camps in various places. He first squeezed labor and helped the civil war Dajin resume production and built canals. After the canal was built, he carried out the next step of surplus value, so that these people who should have died were more meaningful.
Didn’t the British Empire just exil the criminals to Australia? The Imperial and Russia also absorbed the rascals into the process of the Eastern Expedition. He didn’t need to find experience from abroad to do anything. Did the Central Plains dynasty have the crime of exile? However, most dynasties would choose to exile south and be exiled less, but it was definitely not without it. The last dynasty that had an absolute advantage in exile north was the Qing Dynasty.
As for whether these people who should have died will rape and plunder when they go overseas, they will not do the work of the King of Yan. This was the norm in ancient times. When Sima Ji was learning from experience, he never made a dynasty in the country established by the Hu people. This world is a very realistic world, and I am right.
Don’t be too immersed in the moral standards at that time, forgetting that this is a real world. Only after being beaten up will you be like a giant baby to behave like a tragic baby. Does this thing work? In Sima Ji’s opinion, the policies of the Han and Tang dynasties were not at all wrong. You would never be able to do it. If you win, you will never be miserable. If you lose, you will never be miserable and you will never be able to gain sympathy. The foreign policy of the Central Plains dynasty after these two dynasties is hard to describe.
There is a limit to sympathizing with the weak. When the National Sports Station plays a classic football game in the later generations, they must take out Maradona's God's hand, which is a handball foul. The Argentines closed their eyes and said they were right. Even Maradona admitted handball himself. A group of Argentine fans and hosts on the sports station were shaking flags and shouting. Isn't it embarrassing? Even they have sympathy for countries in South America. Can you see what domestic football looks like?
"The King of Yan has always enforced the law strictly. This time, he actually pardoned all prisoners from all prefectures and counties in one breath, whether it was murderers, barbarians in the mountains, or the former thief army." On the official road not far away, two scholars, one old and one young, walked side by side, and did not seem to be disturbed by the thunder of the mountains and thunders that faintly came into his ears.
"But these people are useless to be executed. It would be better to send them overseas to commit crimes and make meritorious service. I think this is actually true. It is a barbarian land. From the notices of the states and counties, we know that the kings of the royal family in the southern expedition of the capital have been prepared for a hundred years. No matter how much they pay, they must succeed. Anyone who can form a help will not be let go."
Ji Jian paused for a moment and said, "I heard that the Wang family of Langya, the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the Yang family of Hongnong are all looking for their clans to join the southern expedition. It seems that the wealth is really touching."
"Who asked the King of Yan to start his career in a bitter and cold place, and one state will conquer the world? Where did so much money and grain come from? The King of Funan in the King of Yan's mansion is an obvious example. Since the Central Plains gentry is also ready to move, we Jiangdong cannot sit and wait for death. Our Jiangdong has a better place than the Central Plains gentry, so we must join this battle." Ji Zhan lowered his voice, "Even Gu Rong, who was in the capital, sent a message back to ask the family to allocate money and grain immediately. The brothers Lu Ji and Lu Yun are even more ready to go. Our Ji family must not fall behind."
"Ji Jian knows how to do it!" Ji Jian looked at Hua Fa's early father and agreed with understanding. This southern expedition can be regarded as a subversive event. The map circulating now is no less than the area within the Great Wall.
Due to the inns across the country, Sima Ji can definitely be said to be an efficient collection of news in the agricultural society, and the feedback from all over the country is constantly conveyed. This is thanks to the advantages of the location of the capital. Luoyang was a natural capital in the war-torn era, and it was well-connected to control all parties.
"Zhang Da, you go to be the governor of Yizhou and also take charge of the general of Ningzhou. The troops in Ningzhou are under your control. You are very smooth and suitable for dealing with the relationship between Yizheng in Ningzhou." Sima Ji summoned Zhang Da to him and gave him the imperial edict of the Ningzhou General's holiday. Although they all involved ethnic minorities, the south of the north is still different. Shenzhou needs a loyal and honest person like Li Shan. Although he is a little unwilling to accept your rigidity, the northern ethnic groups only take that trick.
Among the steep mountains and ridges in the south, many tribes lack integrity, and the places are not big, but they are even more different than those of the Hu people in the north. This requires a smart person like Zhang Da to reconcile it.
The establishment of the Ningzhou General Mansion achieved Sima Ji's layout of the local area. According to the central axis of the Heihe Tengchong Line in later generations, Li Shan was the general of Shenzhou to guard the northeast, and the core of the Central Plains was Qian Ming and Cao Qian was in the middle, and to the southwest was Yizhou where Zhang Da was located. Zhang Da did not have the military power of Yizhou soldiers, but he controlled the Ningzhou soldiers from Yunnan and Guizhou in later generations.
In the northeast outside the Great Wall and the middle of the Central Plains capital, Sima Ji's own fiefdom of Yan State was the key node in the middle.
This is the most densely populated and the most important strategic focus of the terrain is under his control. As long as this arrangement is not disrupted, there will be no problem in the country. As for the original Five-City System of the Great Jin Dynasty, it still exists as a supplement to the front-line imperial guards.
As for the general of the Zhengnan Preservation Division, it was General Yingyang Shi Chao and Liu Heng went to Huainan to monitor and control Jiangnan. All such arrangements were completed, and Sima Ji believed that there would be no problem in a short period of time.
Who is so willing to accompany the Hu people? The Yi people fight time every day. Sima Ji stays in the capital and watch it until the southern expedition is over? This life is too boring.
After officially establishing the Ningzhou General Mansion, Sima Ji officially issued a far-reaching imperial edict in the name of the emperor, giving the people who had been violently brainwashed for half a year a vent. Fifty thousand infantrymen and twenty thousand navy troops gathered with Ning, Yang, Jing, and the soldiers of the Yizhengs and the Barbarian Kings vowed to march south.
This imperial edict was like a violent typhoon, blowing through every prefecture and county in the empire. The southern expedition, which was passed down by word of mouth by word of mouth by the people, finally officially began on this day. At the end of September, the Youzhou Navy commander Lu He led a thousand warships all the way south, joining the Yangzhou Navy and then heading south, with the targets of Guangzhou Bay, Jiangkou in Yangzhou and Jiangkou in Guangzhou. The government offices of the Zhengnan Town Fushi Office were established.
In Yizhou, Zhang Da ordered Ningzhou soldiers and the troops of various Yi commanders to go down the river in the name of the governor of Yizhou and the general of Ningzhou to conquer the local tribal countries, and set up Myanmar and Taizhou on both sides of the Nujiang River respectively.
Zhang Da naturally didn't know the origin of these two names, but he knew that Sima Ji's request was to win. Nanzheng had to give the King of Yan a beautiful start, and he had to know that all classes in the world were looking forward to it. It was so difficult to make most people in such a large empire know such a thing and worry about it in their hearts.
The ships berthed on both sides of Ningzhou are clearly visible, and sometimes large sampans paddle through the river. From here, most of the waterways are unfamiliar to Yishuai in Ningzhou. This navy is also an extremely powerful naval army in the inland river. It is the prefect of the mainland on both sides of the three rivers. The general took time to establish it. Although it is far less solid than the warships on the sea, fighting in the inland river is such a great risk. Many soldiers are watching on the deck, and the rest of the soldiers are not allowed to leave the cabin during the day.
Not to mention that someone came to make trouble and attack on both sides of the three rivers, I didn’t even see my personal hair after walking for a few days. This place was a vast and sparsely populated place. The river was not very lively. Now, people were gone and the house was empty. Even the birds and beasts in the wilderness and woods seemed to feel danger. The beasts hid in the deep mountains and forests and the birds closed their mouths.
In another direction, some Ningzhou soldiers were also marching. Their partial division had only 3,000 people. The destination was the Zhenla Kingdom. The imperial edict to conquer and destroy the Zhenla Kingdom. A few days after their departure, they also arrived at the Jiaozhou Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Govern
Yes, there is still the Funan Kingdom within the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Liu Ye is still the Queen of Funan. However, the Funan Kingdom is no longer a vassal state, but a feudal state within the territory. It is a bit larger, and all systems have been changed to the Jin system, which is no different from the Zhongyuan feudal state.
The soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou must cross the Changshan Mountains, while the soldiers and horses in Zhanzhou must go upstream. So the terrain of Zhenla is flat. If Zhenla is like Ningzhou's geographical advantage, Zhanzhou's soldiers must experience the feeling of the third brother looking up at the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The troops in the south of the plan were not considered as the combined troops that captured Zhen La, but should be considered as the troops split into two groups. The Ningzhou army went downstream to conquer the Indochina Peninsula. The Dajin Navy carried the main force and Yang, and the barbarian soldiers of Jing were the top priority.
