A large number of goods could not be carried, and after being streamlined, when they officially hit the road, it was still a large team of nearly 1,000 people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wuxing to Jiankang, the most convenient is the waterway, through Wu County to the north to Jingkou, and then along the Yangtze River to the west, a few days can be reached. But at present, the militia of the Jiangbei Stream is constantly crossing the river, and this road is not safe.

The more convenient land route is along the Taihu Lake through Yixing, through Maoshan and then into Danyang. Compared with Jingkou, which is full of displaced people, this route is the old route of Wudi, which is naturally much safer.

But the problem is that the Yixing Zhou clan and the Wuxing Shen clan have always had old grudges, and Shen Chong punished the Zhou clan at the beginning of the year, and the blood feud between the two sides is even deeper. At present, the Yixing Zhou clan is taking advantage of the chaos to prosper, and there are already Zhou clansmen who have killed Yixing Taishou, and according to Yangxian and collected the soldiers of the county, this road is no longer passable.

In the end, Shen Zhezi and the others chose the route to Jiankang, and it was Yu Yi who proposed to cross Wu County to enter the Jin Tomb, and then avoid the Yangtze River by land from the Jin Tomb and directly enter Jiankang.

Sima Gu Yang, who had been confined by Shen Chong in the army, set off with the team this time, and his future was uncertain earlier, and this person responded passively in the army and secretly wanted to go. But as soon as the situation became clear, the decadence was swept away, and the whole person's appearance was different.

From this inconsistent performance, Shen Zhezi recognized the background color of Wu Junshi, no wonder he was evaluated by his father as a Huawen accessory. Once you gain power, having such a person to attach to you can add more prestige and strengthen. But I don't want to let them share the blessings and woes, and share the weal and woe.

As soon as the team entered the territory of Wu County, it encountered twists and turns and was attacked by the villagers of Wu County. The two sides fought fiercely, but after all, the Shen family was superior, killing nearly 100 people on the other side and defeating them.

Shen Zhezi was closely protected by a group of Longxi soldiers led by Captain Liu Meng, and he never even saw the tragic battlefield fighting. It wasn't until the battle was over that he asked his uncle Shen Ling, who commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, about the reason for the attack.

The hundreds of people who came to attack them were all Zhang's private soldiers, but the Lu family, the wife of Zhang Mao, the former Wu Xingtaishou who was killed by his father, gathered the old department to avenge her husband.

Encountering this kind of thing, Yu Yi was also very annoyed. The old grievances of the two sides are not mentioned, and now he has been in the same league with the Shen family, and the other party even blatantly led troops to attack, obviously not giving him face. Therefore, while the team was repairing, Yu Yi wrote a few letters and asked Gu Yang to take the first trip and send them to the major families in Wu County.

With Yu Yi's original official position and prestige, it is naturally difficult to enter the eyes of these Wu County high-ranking men. But at the moment, Yu Yi is a great meritorious, and he enters the camp alone to persuade Shen Chong to surrender, and the combination of the two is not to be underestimated. Coupled with Gu Yang's deliberate rendering, the various families of Wu County have made statements, and each sent their own protégés to greet the entourage guards.

With Yu Yi coming out and running back and forth with Gu Yang, Shen Zhezi was happy. This trip was more calm than the last time he went to Huiji, Shen Zhezi took a stable and comfortable ox cart, and there were several beautiful maids around him to take care of food, clothing and daily life, and he did not feel tired.

The ox cart that Shen Zhezi rode on was huge, with loose pages on all sides, and when the wind was clear and the sun was clear, it could be spread out into a moving viewing platform, and when the rain rose, it was closed up, and the wind and rain were impervious. Along the way, he was also admiring the scenery of Wudi, which was very different from later generations, 1,700 years ago.

It's just that as far as the eye can see, there is not much of the tranquil countryside style that he imagined to be intertwined and smelling chickens and dogs. The most you can see is a large estate surrounded by high walls and covering a vast area. In addition, there are many mountains and forests, wastelands, rivers and canals, swamps, and not many people.

Of course, the so-called low population is not desolate, but there are not many self-cultivated rural houses run by small households. Especially in the open and flat terrain, the lake is abundant, and the soil is fertile, there are almost no traces of small farmers, and it is completely occupied by the large clan estates.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty celebrities are romantic, and the scholars inherit each other, up to the central Taiwan Province, down to the fields and countryside, consistently. A poor family would rather be a big family than a good citizen. Attached to the big clan is only exploited by one family, but if you want to become a naturalized citizen, you have to bear the taxes and forced labor levied by the imperial court, and there are also the exploitation of officials at all levels in the middle, as well as the squeezing and rejection of the wealthy families in the township.

Shen Zhezi saw it on the way, and he felt more and more deeply the helplessness of this era. This dynasty of kings and gatekeepers is like a toddler covered in tumors, no matter how gorgeous the appearance is, it can't hide the deformed lesions inside. Even if there is an occasional gate valve who grows and abolishes the act of arrogance, it is just a bigger tumor and cannot change the essence.

When the group arrived at Wu County, the seat of Wu County, the size of the team had expanded to nearly 3,000 people, most of whom were children or private soldiers sent by the Wu County scholars to join in the fun. And after arriving in Wu County, the momentum reached the extreme. For example, Gu Lu Gaomen, all the clan relatives came to greet him.

There are many reasons why there is such a big momentum, but there is only one reason on the surface, that is, Yu Yi took the danger alone and forced the landing of ten thousand troops, which is a feat that is truly worth reciting for a while. Because the people of Wu Dishi were too enthusiastic, the group had to stay in Wu County for many days and go to the banquet one after another.

Shen Zhezi also had to follow Yu Yi, and he had to tell Yu Yi's feat many times at the banquet every day. This is also part of the plan of Daddy Shen Chong and Yu Yi, to create public opinion pressure, force the imperial court to recognize Yu Yi's merits, and clear the suspicion of rebellion for the Shen family.

The momentum for many days has indeed pushed Yu Yi's personal prestige to an extreme, and Shen Chong, as the villain of this legendary story, has also benefited a lot. Live up to the kindness, be able to tolerate it, wake up, and have the style of a countryman.

Although he also personally created a momentum, Shen Zhezi really understood the paradoxical aesthetic interest of the times. The two protagonists in this story, one deserted his post without permission and the other attempted to rebel, and they both became high-minded and capable of helping the needy!

Probably an era, there is always its own unique era characteristic label. But after thousands of years of history, the elegance of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is undoubtedly the most unfashionable.

For example, Liu Kun, a famous general who defended the northern land and the state, at that time, the northern land fell and Shenzhou was turbulent, and Liu Kun was alone to defend the enclave, and the hardships can be imagined. The people of the time praised Liu Kun not only about how he was staggering, how he worked hard, but how he worked hard to maintain it, but the so-called blowing flute to retreat from the enemy.

It is true that such a story is elegant, resourceful, and legendary, but it must be said that only in the present can people feel how chilling this atmosphere is. Seeing those guys talking happily, I can't wait to replace them with my example, as if Liu Kun is only training and advocating the team every day in the north, and doesn't care about the rest.

After Shen Zhezi heard it a few times at different banquets, he secretly decided in his heart that when he could take power in the future, which brain-dead bastard would say this kind of thing again, let him go to the Northern Expedition with a beard, and see if he could move those Hulu to recover Shenzhou.

Although I am indignant in my heart, I have to take advantage of this trend now. Because only in this way can the legitimacy of the trip be obtained, and then the legitimacy can be obtained, and finally it will evolve into a conclusive fact.

After a few days in Wu County, when I hit the road again, the size of the team increased by a few points. The next stop is the Jinling Tomb, where overseas Chinese gather.

The Jinling land belongs to Xuzhou, and it is not far from Jingkou, which is known as the North Mansion. And Xuzhou is one of the alternatives for Fang Zhen that Shen Zhezi expected to seek for his father, so he cheered up and wanted to carefully observe the customs and people here.

But as soon as he entered the Jinling region, Shen Zhezi found that he had thought things a little simple.

If Wu County is still a picture of a rich and cultivated water town, it is just lost to the rich family enclosure and self-fertilization. Then the left side of the Jinling can be called the four wilderness barren, the ravines are overflowing, the weeds are overgrown, and it is often necessary to go out of a long distance to see the traces of field reclamation. And most of these reclaimed wastelands are also concentrated near the dock walls that rise from the ground.

If it is said that the lack of land reclamation is due to the short time of crossing to the south, it has not yet been fully rolled out. Then there was no large number of homeless people living here, which made Shen Zhezi puzzled.

After finding an insider, Shen Zhezi learned that although there were many people in Nandu, a considerable number of them had clans or were attached to major clans. The local government, either to prevent unrest or to act in their own interests, encouraged those who were to be accepted in large numbers or forcibly taken into exile as shady households. As for the remaining part, it was strictly confined to the old Wu Juntun and forbidden to wander around.

And the complexity of the clan power here is far beyond Shen Zhezi's imagination. Among them, Xu Yan has the largest number of overseas Chinese, and sometimes there are as many as four or five clan surnames living in a dock wall. If you are an official here, if you don't have the family background recognized by these overseas Chinese, it will definitely be torture. It is just a trivial matter to be expelled by the villagers, and even worse, they were besieged and beaten to death by the expatriates!

Originally, in Shen Zhezi's impression, these overseas Chinese who had left their hometowns should belong to the disadvantaged group, but only when they were there could they feel the fierce and violent atmosphere. Along the way, he saw several vicious incidents of fighting and death. There are even strong men watching from the sidelines, and the intention to rob them is extremely obvious.

In the end, Shen Zhezi came to the conclusion that these overseas Chinese who had left their homeland were inherently pitiful, but there were also many of them who were wicked, and they should indeed be strictly guarded against it, and they must not be allowed to go south to cause trouble. And if you let Daddy come to this kind of place, it is tantamount to baking in the fire, and it is impossible to achieve anything at all.

To rule Qiaozhou with Wu people, unless he relies on iron-blooded and strong means to completely destroy the clan power that he still maintains, and then he will be soft and restrained, and completely break and crumple the displaced people organization and scatter it. Otherwise, what grows up in this land can only be the gate valve of the Gaoping Xi family who relies on this self-respect but is trapped here, or the military group with many factions in Beifu.

Before he has the strength to control the overall situation, he will create the freak of the gate valve variant of Beifu in advance, not only will he not be able to complete Shen Zhezi's dream of the Northern Expedition, but will form a stronger clamp than the gate valve.
