Chapter 749: Cai State, Dan State, Dun State, and Xiang State were officially annexed by Qi State
The Qi and Song dynasties divided the forces with Yingshui as the boundary, and Lü Di divided part of the land of the original Chen State and part of the original Xiang State west of Yingshui, as well as the old land of the Don State, the old land of the Dan State, and the land of the Cai State, as well as some areas in the west, such as Bai Land, Fangdi, Dong Bu Tang, Xi Bu Tang, Xu Di, Fang Di, Ying Di, etc., all under the rule of Yingchuan County.
Chen Yin was naturally the first county guard, and ordered Wu Zhiming, a fierce general who had dealt with the Song people, to temporarily serve as the county Sima to assist Chen Yin in sweeping away some rebel forces in Yingchuan County.
And he Lu Di himself was in the tomb of the emperor of the Cai State after the tomb of the Emperor of the Zhao Tomb, and gave the only surviving son of the Cai State as the Cai family, after sealing the family, he and the army borrowed the road Zheng Guo to the north, this time he must completely solve the affairs of the Zhongshan State, and extend the power of his Qi State to the west of Taihang Mountain.
When Zheng Guo heard the envoy of Qi say that the army of Qi was going to borrow Zheng Guo, he was so frightened that he almost urinated.
The old Zheng Shenggong has nightmares every day and shouts of toothache. Soon all the teeth fell out.
Zheng Shenggong was half dead due to fear, so he could only order the crown prince Ji Yi to temporarily manage the government, and ordered the "Seven Mu" to vigorously assist, not to slack off.
Ji Yi is also the Zheng Aigong recorded in history. As for Qimu, it refers to the seven descendants of Zheng Mugong. These seven descendants have always controlled the politics of Zheng Guo, and are known as the three huans of Lu State.
For example, Uncle Tai, the successor of Gongsun Qiao, is also one of the Seven Mu, his original name was You Ji, and he was the patriarch of the You family.
Ji Yi received the envoy of Qi on behalf of his father, and finally offered a rich gift, and asked the envoy of Qi to swear that he would not invade Zheng State, which was reassuring.
The envoy of Qi laughed secretly, originally he came to give gifts and borrow the way, but in the end, the gift was not given, but he pulled a lot of gifts back.
Lu Di had expected Zheng Guo's performance, and now Zheng Guo is very embarrassed, the west is the Wei State that is booming, he doesn't dare to offend, the north, it's the South Korea that has been coveting him, this can't be offended, the south, it's the first big country in the Central Plains, the Song State, known as the country with 200,000 heroes, of course he doesn't dare to offend, the Qi State in the east is already a behemoth with teeth and claws, he doesn't dare to offend, and he can't offend.
As soon as the Qi army crossed the Yingshui River and officially entered the land of Zheng, as soon as he stepped into the land of Zheng, Lü Di encountered a large number of refugees from Zheng, and they asked to follow Lü Di.
In recent years, the lower classes of Zheng Guo have lived a very miserable life, and the reason is that in addition to natural disasters and the exploitation of the aristocracy, it is a continuous war.
Five years ago, Zheng Guo participated in the Huangchi Alliance and fought against the Qi State.
Four years ago, the Wei State, which coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, used the old reason of Zheng Guo to seek peace with Qi State, looked for trouble, and fought with Zheng State in Gusong Mountain, Zheng State lost 30,000 soldiers, and finally cut the land and paid compensation, which was settled.
Three years ago, South Korea bordered Zheng Guo in a border city, South Korea ordered Zheng Guo to cut the land and apologize on the grounds that a certain nobleman and a sheep fell to Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo was of course unwilling, the two countries went to war, and the war lasted for nearly a year, and finally Zheng Guo cut off the land north of the river to South Korea.
Fortunately, the attention of Song Guo and Qi Guo was on Chen Cai and Chu Yue at that time, otherwise Zheng Guo would have to hemorrhage again.
Therefore, the years of war have made Zheng Guo exhausted, and the people in the lower classes are naturally living in water and fire.
Lu Di also knows a little about Zheng Guo's affairs, and in the face of the refugees' embrace, he happily agreed, now he has land, and what he lacks is people, so no matter the old, young, sick and disabled, they are recruited one by one, and when the news comes out, there is an uproar everywhere they go, and more and more refugees, even unwilling nobles, flock to the direction of the Qi army in large numbers.
For those who took refuge, Lu Di did not refuse to come, so the speed of the march became slower and slower.
The army passed through Quqing, Tongqiu, Yancheng, Niushou, Doucheng, crossed Bishui Pass, Laoqiu, and crossed Pushui to enter the sour jujube.
In the face of so many people, even if Lu Di has more grain and grass, it will not be enough for a while, so he can only spend a lot of money to buy grain and grass in Zheng Guo on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sent a message to Zhang Mengtan, the county guard of Henan County, asking him to raise grain and grass for great use.
In the land of sour jujubes, Lu Di sighed again, and said to all his henchmen that this place will be famous in China one day in the future.
Everyone doesn't know what their king means? But I didn't ask much, anyway, it has nothing to do with me, the king said that the name of Huaxia will be passed on to Huaxia.
After the sour dates, the Qi army took the Zheng people who took refuge to the east, intending to enter the territory of the Qi State, after all, it was not a safe thing to wander around in the territory of other people.
Qi Jun came to the insect prison again, and Lu Di found that the mulberry forest that almost killed him had already been cut down, and now it was planted with endless wheat seedlings.
The farmers were fertilizing and pulling weeds, and after seeing the Qi army marching on the gallop road, they all put down their farm work, ran to the side of the gallop, raised their hands and shouted, long live.
Some of these peasants were yeoman farmers, some were tenant farmers, and some were small landlords who had been divided into feudal feuds for meritorious service, and they all cheered with joy at this time the glorious return of their own army.
Although they didn't know why their army came from Zheng Guo in the west, seeing the momentum of their army, it was obvious that they had returned from victory.
It's good to win, it's good to win!
Victory means land, military merit, slaves, great Qi Tongbao, cloth, silk, cattle, sheep, pigs, treasures and other wealth.
Although they can't get these riches directly, they know that the Qi Kingdom will become more powerful because of this, and when the Qi State is strong, their land wealth will be more secured.
Wu Zixu and Lu Di sat on the king's carriage together, listening to the cheers of the villagers, he was also sincerely happy.
Wu Zixu said with emotion: "King, now it seems that Qi Wei is really one!" ”
Lu Di smiled and nodded. Many of these villagers today are born and raised in the country, but now they have long forgotten that they were once patriots, and they feel proud to be from Qi.
What is Qiweiyi?
It's called!
Because the attachment of the people's hearts is the foundation of unity, not the form of system decrees and taxes.
In the face of a large number of Zheng refugees, he mobilized grain and grass on the one hand, and on the other hand, he summoned the big city orders and Yi orders from all over the country, so that they were ready to accept the refugees.
In fact, there is no need for Zhang Meng to talk about arranging this matter, those big city orders and Yi orders, as soon as they heard that a large number of refugees from Zheng Guo had poured in, their eyes had already lit up, and they were all over the ground.
Refugee? What is a refugee?
That's the homeless, the landless people!
These people are pulled into their rule, that is, the ronin, and the ronin is very valuable, or transformed into tenant farmers, or into slaves, or into homesteaders, once they settle down, their own rule must be a great development, and development is their own political achievements.
Perhaps the population of later generations is a burden, but in the late Spring and Autumn Period, population is wealth, and the only criterion for the strength of a country.
Nowadays, all parts of Qi are engaged in large-scale development, and what is most needed is manpower.
And the influx of these refugees undoubtedly laid the foundation for the great development of Qi State, oh no, to be precise, Henan County.
Lu Di with more than 30,000 refugees, has not yet gone to Pingyang, people have been from all over the famous township Lao Yi order to divide up, those who came late, angry to Lu Di crying, this scene to see Lu Di is crying and laughing, can only be kind words to comfort, and said that will be sent to Zheng Guo Zheng Wang Zhao, let him allow in the Qi Zheng border, empty land, open a populous square, all the refugees from Zheng Guo to join Qi State, Zheng Guo must not obstruct.
When everyone heard this, they burst into tears and laughed, and gave up.
Zheng Guo, Zheng Shenggong saw the edict of King Lu Di sent by the crown prince Ji Yi, and his face flushed on the spot and shouted: "Lu Benchu, you are more poisonous than Wei Han, you are trying to hollow out the root of my Zheng Guo!" ”
