If Sun Quan's plan was successful, then Sun Quan's reputation would spread. Zhou Yu had always wanted to prevent Sun Quan from appearing in the Jiangdong Group. He was afraid that one day, Sun Quan's achievements would overshadow his own. Zhou Yu had also discussed with the Old Madam. Although the Old Madam had asked Sun Ce not to give Sun Quan a high position, in fact, it was Zhou Yu who had been controlling the situation from behind. However, gold would shine no matter where it was. This time, Sun Quan could not be stopped from being in power in Jiangdong. But it was also good. This second son should be able to add color to Jiangdong. Sun Quan was not a newbie who had not entered the bureaucracy. He was once a fifteen-year-old county magistrate. What could a fifteen-year-old know? However, Sun Quan made the bandits in the county disappear. The provisions were harvested and the people were grateful.
Second Son, Second Son, I hope you do not have any evil thoughts. Otherwise, even if you are the second son, I will make sure you die.
"Gong Jin, where do you think we should select these 200,000 people?" Sun Ce hesitated again. Sending people to Liu Mang's army at Shouchun would depend on the type of people he was sending. He would try not to hand over those who were good at farming. Although these people did not have much ability, they could still maintain a good harvest. Sun Ce would not hand over those who were not near the Yangtze River to Liu Mang's army. This was because those who were near the Yangtze River would be able to escape to the other side of the river. On the other hand, those who were inland would not have such thoughts. Even if they did, they would have to see if they could cross the forest and mountains to reach the Yangtze River. At this time, there were a lot of forests in Jiangdong, so there was a lot of miasma. The hot and humid weather made it difficult for many people's bodies to bear. Since ancient times, Jiangdong had many talents. However, these talents died young because of the miasma.
Zhou Yu came back from his thoughts. When he heard Sun Ce's question, he pointed out such a place. "From Danyang County!"
"Danyang County?" Sun Ce does not understand. Danyang County is a place of war. The people there are the elite Danyang soldiers. Liu Mang has already taken away a lot of Danyang County's people to form his Urban Army. Sending Danyang County's people to Liu Mang is the same as sending sheep to the tiger's den. If Sun Ce could think of it, Zhou Yu could not. However, Zhou Yu still gave this suggestion.
"Transferring the people from Danyang County, but these people may not necessarily be our Han people!" Zhou Yu said his idea. There was a reason why the Han people in Danyang County could be soldiers and why they were so aggressive. In Danyang County, there were not only Han people, but there was also another race called Shanyue. The Shanyue could not be regarded as a foreign race. Due to the integration of the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was not much difference between the Shanyue and the Han people. There were also some Han people who escaped to the mountains to escape the government. Therefore, although the Shanyue were called a race, they were actually a mixture of ethnic groups distributed in the southern mountains. There were Han people and Yue people. Therefore, they were called "mountain people". They were the descendants of the pre-Qin Dynasty. There were also Han people and the former Yue people who hid in the mountains because of the government or because of the war.
However, it was easy to enter the mountains, but difficult to leave. The land they gave up was occupied by others. Moreover, the mountains were barren and there was no place to cultivate. Even if there was, it could only be cultivated for one or two years before it became barren again. There was nothing in the mountains except for herbs and game. These two things could not guarantee that the entire Shanyue people would have enough to eat.
Therefore, in order to not starve to death, the Shanyue people went down the mountain. There was land at the foot of the mountain, but it was occupied by others. In order to regain the land, there was only one way, and that was to go to war. The Shanyue people were scattered and lived in small groups. They were good at martial arts and relied on the mountains to form armed groups. Their leaders were called "Marshal", "Marshal", "Marshal" and many other titles. They were semi-independent of the central feudal regime.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, they brought a lot of trouble to Jiangdong. In the last few decades alone, there were several wars in Shanyue. The most recent one was when Yuan Shu used tricks to mislead the Shanyue people into rebelling. In the third year of the Han Dynasty, which was the year 198 AD, Yuan Shu sent people to the Shanyue people with the imperial seal and Danyang (present-day Xuancheng, Anhui) Zulang and others to agitate the Sun Ce. At that time, Sun Ce and Sun Ce were fighting on the Yangtze River. Their troops were deployed outside. The chaos in Shanyue really threatened Sun Ce's rule in Jiangdong. In desperation, Sun Ce could only withdraw his troops. In the end, although Shanyue was defeated by Sun Ce, Sun Ce also suffered a lot of casualties in that battle. This delayed the unification of Jiangdong by a lot of time.
But even so, every year, the people of Shanyue would appear in Danyang County and cause trouble. They did not have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear. First, they would go to the local government. The local government was also helpless. There were only so many fields. If they gave the fields to the Shanyue people, what would the local Han people do? So most of the officials chose to give them food. However, the food would run out one day. It was better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. After they finished eating, they would naturally go down the mountain again. If the local government did not solve the problem, they would do it themselves. So, the people of Danyang County were very aggressive. Sun Ce also had no choice but to put a total of five thousand people in Danyang County to prevent the Shanyue people from rebelling at any time.
"Gong Jin, what do you mean?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up. Because of Zhou Yu's words, he thought of a lot of things.
"Move the people of Shanyue out! Tell them that as long as they reach Shouchun and become the subordinates of His Highness the King Of Shu, they will not have to starve. There will be a large amount of land for them to plant! Help His Highness the King Of Shu to recruit the people in Shanyue! We will take care of the food along the way! " Zhou Yu finished his thoughts in one breath. In order to plot against Liu Mang in Shouchun, Sun Cejun spared no effort! The rations along the way from Danyang to Shouchun would take a few days. Therefore, the rations provided for 200,000 people was a large number. This was a strategy to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf. The Yue people were rebellious and did not get along well with the Han people. If Sun Ce went to encourage them, there would be a lot of Yue people who would go to Shouchun. This was because they did not have enough to eat in the mountains and could not wear warm clothes. When they go down the mountain, they could only be suppressed by Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army. They went down the mountain again and again to reduce the population. But now, Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army was able to suppress them. The people of Shanyue were not as lazy as the Han people. On the contrary, they were very diligent. In the mountains of Danyang County, they were able to eat their fill. Now that they had food on the road and Sun Ce had promised to send them to Shouchun, they might as well go out and fight for their lives. Since they could not eat their fill in Danyang County, they might as well go out and fight for their lives.
In this way, Sun Ce was killing two birds with one stone. First, he could disgust Liu Mang. The two hundred thousand people would become a huge burden for Liu Mang's Army. The people of Danyang County were much more terrifying than the Han people. If they fought to the death, once the two hundred thousand people had no food, Liu Mang could only wait to cry. In the past, Sun Ce brought fifty thousand troops to quell the rebellion of the Shanyue people. Even so, more than ten thousand people died. Now that the two hundred thousand people were causing trouble, Liu Mang could only wait to cry! Moreover, this was only a part of it. Second, it really solved a big problem! The problem of Shanyue had always been a headache for Sun Ce. This was because Shanyue had a large population of several hundred thousand people. If all of them were to be settled in Jiangdong, then the Han people of Jiangdong would not be able to eat their fill. There were only so many fertile lands. The Han people fought for him, opened up his territory, and paid taxes for him. He could not favor one and discriminate against the other! However, if he did not do anything, then he could only wait for the annual rebellion! Now, the problem of Shanyue was settled. It was all handed over to Shouchun. Let the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, worry about it. He did not need to worry about Shanyue anymore. Jiangdong could be peaceful for at least twenty years.
"This matter will be left to Mister Zhang Zhao!" Sun Ce thought for a moment and said. Zhang Zhao is very good at allocation and statistics. I will write a letter and let the official copy it and send it to the various warlords! "What could be more enjoyable than silently wiping out the enemy?
Thinking of this, Sun Ce's mood became cheerful!
