Chapter 828: Indochina Peninsula (2)

With the opening of the road and the smooth attack on the Shan State on the Indochina Peninsula. The great migration of people on Cao Cao's territory has also begun to be carried out completely.

Especially in Jingzhou, except for a few big city fortresses that have not been moved, they are still maintained as strategic nodes and buffer zones. Elsewhere, whether it is the front line or the rear counties. The people were lured or forced to move on a large scale.

During the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, the imperial court also carried out frequent population migrations. From the perspective of historical and social background, there are three main reasons for population migration: First, it is forced by wars and natural disasters, for example, the population in the border areas is insufficient, so the population must be migrated to enrich the border areas. Or some places are unsuitable for habitation due to drought, floods, locusts and other disasters and migrate; The second is the government's organized migration for political reasons and the pressure of population expansion. For example, during the Qin period, hundreds of thousands of people from the Central Plains migrated to South Vietnam. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, wealthy families from all over the world and nobles from the Six Kingdoms migrated to Chang'an. and moved abundant people or people from other places to enrich the emperor's tomb to guard the emperor's tomb; The third is the active migration due to people's yearning for and pursuit of a better life. For those who are officials, for business, for the education of their children and grandchildren, etc., such as the famous Meng's mother three moves. All in all, the purpose of migration is actually very simple, that is, to survive better.

It is difficult to leave the homeland, and there is nostalgia for the homeland. As the saying goes, "the relocation of the land, the nature of the people; Flesh and blood are attached, and people are willing to do it. "If you can survive on this land, then the people are probably not willing to leave their homes. Because the ancestral grave is there, and the family property is there. After leaving, I don't know when I will be able to come back.

But Cao Cao carried out the great migration, and the timing was very well chosen. The people of Jingzhou have long been tired of the war, and they have heard that the new places they have gone to have more land than they have now, and they have been collectively relocated by whole villages and whole clans. Therefore, the psychology of resistance has also been minimized. Under the countless incitement language, many people packed up the softness, brought the family tree, and held up the spiritual position of their ancestors. Follow Cao Jun all the way to the southwest.

The conditions given by Cao Cao are really generous. Because the newly occupied territory is too big. He really has no shortage of land. There was fertile land and captured slaves everywhere. Now in the Indochina Peninsula, there is no shortage of anything, there is a shortage of people. Therefore whoever is willing to go, let him give the land to the land, and let the slave give to the slave. I gave away it for free.

Along the way, hundreds of people were angry. They thought they had migrated to Yizhou, which was also the land of China. But who would have thought that after arriving in Yizhou, they were told that their destination had not yet arrived and that they would continue to walk. There is a road from Yizhou to Indochina, but this road is not so easy to walk. The mountains are high and dense, insects and beasts are rampant, and the climate is strange. Many old people, women and children who were in poor health fell forever on the road.

By this time, the people had no strength to resist. They had no choice but to pack up the bones of their relatives and march silently all the way under the escort of the army. But when they reached their destination, the resentment in their hearts dissipated cleanly. Because what Cao Cao promised is indeed true.

Each family was given a piece of land that they had never imagined before, and they were half sold and half given away by Cao Jun. Although there is a slight language barrier, it is not a big problem.

If we talk about which people on this earth are the most able to adapt to the environment and survive. The Han nation thinks that it is second, but who dares to admit that other ethnic groups are first? As long as the Han people were given enough land, they would be able to multiply a large ethnic group. How many fields are there in the Indochina Peninsula? It's just too much.

This place is already vast and sparsely populated, and then it was swept by Cao's army, and it was even more uninhabited. Cao Cao was also willing to reward his subjects with generosity to others. The people have obtained so much land, and there will naturally be no shortage of soldiers and advisers loyal to Cao Cao. One by one, they all became the lords of the manors in Indochina.

Many people, from the initial opposition to resistance, to acceptance, to devote themselves to this great cause, do not spend much time. In the face of huge, practical interests, they quickly transformed and became hardcore supporters of Cao Cao's policies.

After the first batch of immigrants arrived, after they gained a firm foothold, they went to Jingzhou to call friends, and this is good. The people who were still watching and holding on to the death got the letter, where can they still take care of a lot, and hurriedly follow the footsteps of the forerunners and embark on this road full of thorns and flowers.

With such a large-scale population migration in Cao Cao's territory, Liu Bei naturally would not be ignorant. There were even fine workers who disguised themselves as immigrants and followed them all the way to the Indochina Peninsula.

After several tosses, after the news came, Liu Bei smiled. Is history like this? Is Meng De willing to open up new land rather than surrender to himself?

Someone said to Liu Bei, saying: "In the land of Jing and Yi, the population loss is very heavy, if you don't stop it, in the future, the king will go south, and the world will return to unity." Jing and Yi will become empty ears. ”

Why block? If it were possible, Liu Bei would love to send all his people to Cao Cao and let him take them to the Indochina Peninsula. Cao Cao went to develop the Indochina Peninsula, where many years later, he wore Hanfu, spoke elegant dialects, studied Confucian classics, and learned Han customs. What's wrong?

At that time, he sent troops south to pick fruits, and completely incorporated the Indochina Peninsula into the territory of the Han Dynasty. Wouldn't it be good? Lao Cao helped him do a lot of things in advance, and it was too late for him to thank him. Why stop it?

If you take 10,000 steps back, you won't be able to go south in your lifetime, but in the hands of your children and grandchildren, you should have a chance. After Cao Cao went south, he could no longer obtain handsome people from the Central Plains, and the reserve talent was already faulty. In the hands of his children and grandchildren, there are also a large number of talents in the prime of life, such as Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Yi, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Lu Su. When the older generation passed away one after another, what did Cao Cao's descendants use to resist the soldiers and horses sent out by their children and grandchildren?

Liu Bei then said: "It's okay, Meng De moved the people south, although it is false and beneficial, but I can easily take it when I go south." After the unification of the world, the imperial court should reward and encourage childbirth. One or twenty years later, why worry about Jing and no one cares? And Mengde expands the land, although it is easy at this time, and the follow-up is powerless. Isn't its newly acquired land finally owned by the Han? ”

When everyone thought about it, they thought it was really like this. Moreover, in recent years, because the civil strife in the north has subsided, the society has been stable, and the materials are sufficient. Liu Bei also vigorously advocated and encouraged childbearing in the north. So the people are working hard to give birth to babies. Who doesn't want to have many children and a group of children and grandchildren in their family? I didn't want to give birth before, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to raise it. Now I can't afford to raise it myself, and the court helps to raise it. What's so scary?

In recent years, the population of the north, on the whole, has risen sharply. After more than ten years, after this group of babies has grown up, they have to divide the fields and land. At that time, the vast land in Jing and Yi Prefectures was just used to settle the people. Alleviate the social contradictions caused by land tensions.

As for the distant future, everyone felt that they might not be able to see it, so they didn't think about it. just rushed to express their admiration for Liu Bei. With Liu Bei's increasing authority, it is becoming more and more natural for everyone to clap their ass. This is a kind of natural worship of the strong in people's subconscious, and no one can avoid it. Of course, as long as Liu Bei stays awake and doesn't get stunned.
