Zhuo County in Youzhou is entering the season of ice and snow melting at this time. A large number of ice and snow melting will inevitably become water. For a moment, there are gurgling water everywhere, and the ground is soaked wet and soft by the melted ice and snow.
This season is not suitable for fighting, otherwise a large number of people will trample on the ground, which will make the land muddy. Trampling can easily become muddy, which is a very distressing thing for troops' March and baggage transportation.
Liu Yan himself is in Zhuoxian county. He came again from Xiang state half a month ago and wanted to personally preside over the next battle against Murong Yan state. He planned to destroy Murong Yan state in one fell swoop, and may also take advantage of the situation to clean up the increasingly restless Koguryo.
"Gao Zhao is very obedient to the big man on the surface, but secretly he keeps moving." Ji Chang said with no expression on his face, "the Han's soldiers in Koguryo are frequently attacked, which can be used as a reason for the Han to recruit no officials."
"The great man has been sending women from Koguryo, and folk criticism is bound to boil." Lu Yi was laughing: "up to now, there are more than 100000 women who belong to Han nationality. If this goes on, Koguryo will soon be unable to conceive the next generation of women of appropriate age."
There has always been a big gap in the proportion of men and women in the Han Dynasty. There is only one woman among three men, which means that it will be difficult for two men to get a daughter-in-law. They can either become single or take women who are much younger or much higher than their own age.
A country with a large gap in the proportion of men and women will lead to many problems, not only a variety of sex related cases will occur frequently, but also cause great resentment in the society. A large number of single people will inevitably lose the driving force of social development. After all, as a man, he will settle down only if he has a family. He should work to support his family. If he is unwilling to bear it any more, the impulse of having a wife and children will inevitably disappear. If you have no hope of getting a wife, you may abandon yourself. On the premise that one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, there is no chance of enterprising.
The best way to change the structure of men and women in the country is to introduce women. To put it bluntly, it is to use various methods to attract women from other countries to marry their own men.
It will be very difficult to attract women from other countries under many disadvantages, such as small national area, poor economy, poor public security and so on. The huge gap in the proportion of men and women will inevitably lead to unrest in the country. Riots and even civil wars should occur frequently, and then a large number of people will die under a large number of conflicts. There may be strong figures to end the unrest. At that time, a large number of men will die in the turmoil, the proportion of men and women will return to balance, and the country will enter the construction period, which is also a natural self recovery.
In many countries with a large gap in the proportion of men and women, if they are unable to introduce women by violence in the general environment, they will repeatedly publicize the quality of life in their country, and then select some outstanding men to set an example and increase the charm of their men to attract the favor of women in other countries. After the successful shaping of some image projects, they will encourage their men to travel abroad in order to match up again and again. Or attract people from other countries to travel in their own country, focusing on attracting women, or for matching.
Now is not the era of peace in the general environment, and the Han country does not look weak. It should be said that its military strength is still incomparably strong. As long as the ruling class is shameless and wants to improve the domestic gender ratio gap, it is not difficult to plunder women abroad.
Liu Yan is not a person who cares about his face. It is under his hint that Ji Chang acted. The target is the surrounding countries. Of course, some enemy countries use military means directly, and some vassal countries use coercion and inducement.
Koguryo is a victim of the great gap between men and women in the Han country. They themselves also lost a large number of men in several wars in previous years.
Koguryo, with a population of about 1 million, has suffered several defeats in Murong Xianbei's hands. The most serious one is that more than 100000 young people were killed and captured by Murong Xianbei. For a country with a population of only 1 million, losing 100000 young people is not far from destroying the country, and I don't know how Koguryo can support it? Perhaps it can only be explained by Murong Xianbei's desire not to destroy Koguryo. (this is a historical fact)
A large number of young people in China have been killed and captured. Because of the tense situation, the state is bound to recruit enough young people to join the army. A large number of young people disappear from the people. There will certainly be more women than men in the countryside.
From the third year of Yuanshuo, Koguryo became a vassal state of the Han state. It was not until the fourth year of Yuanshuo that the Han Army entered Koguryo. It was not for maintaining stability and stationing, but purely because the military intended to take a holiday for the soldiers, and then encouraged the soldiers to go to Koguryo to hook up with women.
At that stage in the fourth year of Yuanshuo, the Han state needed some face to obtain female resources from Koguryo. Only soldiers with thick skin and their own means could get a daughter-in-law. However, five years after Yuan Shuo, the center of the Han state completely pulled down its face, and the military began to be unscrupulous when it was signaled. No matter whether it was implicit inducement or direct tough measures, it can only be said to have achieved remarkable results.
In fact, there are few 100000 school-age women in the Han Dynasty, but if they are all the daughters-in-law of military soldiers, it will be very much.
"It is necessary to give preferential treatment to soldiers." Liu Yanli said of course: "the soldiers shed their blood for the big man. It is reasonable that there should be descendants to pass on incense."
There is another important place. After they get married, the taxi soldiers will be arranged in some relatively special areas after they retire, such as local resettlement after the destruction of Murong Xianbei.
The placement of retired taxis in unstable areas is to improve the local population structure. The background of military retirement will also make them subconsciously monitor and maintain stability, which can effectively enhance the local social order and deter those who have misdeeds.
"So, not only Koguryo, but also Baiji, Silla and the Japanese islands are the countries where we obtain women's resources." LV Yi felt nothing to be ashamed of: "it must be a great honor and pleasure for them to change to Chinese nationality."
Those women who have become the sons and daughters-in-law of the Han family can't see whether they feel honored for the time being. Happiness is inevitable. Liu Yan has always been good at the military. He is generous in land and wealth. The social status of people in the military is not low, so the living materials of his family are no worse. Soldiers have land and wealth, and sensible people will appropriately support their daughter-in-law's mother's family. As a result, they are attracted to a group.
For the country, no action is a small action, and a small thing will inevitably affect all aspects. To simply improve the domestic gender ratio gap, there are many effects.
"These small countries in the East are just one of them." Xu Zheng smiled bitterly: "Qiang, Di and Huang Xianbei, except for those Capricorn women who look like monsters, any foreign woman can become a Han daughter-in-law."
The Jienu in Xu Zheng's mouth is just a general term, referring to white people with white skin, yellow hair and green eyes.
Since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has not regarded people with different faces as human beings. Aesthetically speaking, people in the Central Plains really think that white people are almost like monsters. Only people with the same skin color, hair color and eyes are human beings. According to some people, this stage of the Jie nationality's rule over the Central Plains is the period of being ruled by animals. It is not only the animals in appearance, but also the cruelty of the Jie people is less than that of the animals.
There are yellow and white people in Xianbei. In fact, the yellow people in Xianbei are different from those in traditional Chinese areas. The most obvious thing is the nose.
Those areas near the Arctic are cold areas. People who inhabit and breed there for a long time will have relatively high noses and flat nostrils. This is an evolution of human beings to adapt to nature. Like the rest of northern Europe and Europa, although they are all white skin, there will be very obvious features on the nose.
The white people of Xianbei did not come from the western regions. According to their lineage, those white people are actually the ancestors of the Cossacks. They originally belonged to the Huns. After the Huns declined, they were annexed by Xianbei and became white Xianbei people.
Xianbei's expansion process has gone through hundreds of years. It was originally a part of Donghu. The first object of annexation was wuwan, who was born in Donghu, and later annexed many Tungus near Changbai Mountain. No matter who it is, the skin and hair color may be the same, but each area will have its own facial features. Therefore, Xianbei is a tribe with many people, but after the founding of the country, it is dominated by Murong.
Liu Yan is eager to increase the population, especially the recovery of most of the old land of the Han family is approaching. What he yearns for in his heart is the increase of the population under the rule, otherwise the pace of expansion will stagnate due to the lack of population.
At this time, sang Yu hurried across the threshold and came in. As soon as he came in, he went to Liu Yan and handed him an iron box with feathers pinned.
The military's good news will contain feathers on the beeswax, which will make people know that it is a good news when they see the appearance.
There are people behind sang Yu. It seems that Fu se is a school captain. He peeked into the room and found that they were all big people. His breathing was heavier. He was still thinking and heard the call.
"How many days did it take to come to Zhuo county from Xiliang?" Liu Yan was still removing the beeswax from the iron box. He was scraping with a dagger, but he didn't stop in his mouth: "did xie'an cross the river?"
When I came in a week ago, I knelt on one knee. When I heard the question, I didn't dare to look up. I respectfully replied, "go back to my king, Zhonglang hasn't crossed the river yet."
Due to the season, Youzhou is still preparing for the war, but Xiliang has been fighting for a month or two. It is calculated that the fleet transferred over time should also be in place. Once the fleet arrives, it should cross the river as reported by Xie an and enter the stage of fierce battle with the main force of Zhang's Liang army.
Liu Yan paused, looked up and opened the iron box a week ago, then took out a roll of white silk inside, looked at the corner of his mouth and twitched a few times. After reading, he handed the white silk to Xu Zheng.
"Zhang Chong took the initiative to go out of the city to fight, but he didn't lead the army behind the enemy to surrender..." Xu Zheng just read some briefly and passed on the good news with Liu Yan's consent. The expression on his face was joyful, and more was a kind of inexplicable irony: "Zhang Zuo sent someone to contact the general of Zhengxi Zhonglang. Unexpectedly, he wanted to be the king's minion and levy the western regions for the king?"
As far away as xie'an's headquarters in Xiliang, they did not start crossing the river. On the third day after they obtained Jincheng, the reinforcements mobilized later arrived.
Before Xie an sent someone to report to the center, the fleet ordered to go was still on the way. On the one hand, he was dealing with the surrender of the army in Jincheng. On the other hand, he had to maintain stability. At the same time, he was also collecting materials for building bridges, so as to turn Jincheng into a bridgehead for the Han Army to continue to advance westward as far as possible.
Zhang Zuo, who had no firm will to resist, immediately sent Zhao Chang after Jincheng changed hands. Zhao Chang asked Xie an on behalf of Zhang Zuo to make a very subtle test. Xie Anke is not qualified enough to make such a big idea. Naturally, he reports to the center immediately.
After passing it on, the qualified people have finished reading it. Except for Xu Zheng's sarcasm, the others are meditating, and no one is easy to say anything.
A week ago, when he came all the way to deliver the official documents, he went out under the signal of Xun Xian. Someone would take him to freshen up and have dinner. He would also arrange his residence and wait for the center to be summoned when it had a resolution.
"Since the rise of the Zhang family, they know that their weight has not expanded to the East and have been trying their best to open up to the West." Ji Chang was laughing when he spoke, which made everyone look at him. He said with a smile, "Zhang Jun hit Shanshan hard, and the soldiers came close to Cheshi and Kucha, forcing all countries in the western regions to unite and resist. Xiliang changed its strategic direction only after Zhang Chonghua was on the top."
Then again, during Zhang Jun's reign in Xiliang, there seemed to be a very powerful Shijie Zhao state in the East. At that time, it was good that Shijie Zhao state did not invade Xiliang. Xiliang did not dare to take the initiative to provoke Shijie Zhao state.
For Xiliang, Shijie Zhao can't easily provoke. Xiliang is a bitter and cold place under its rule. If it doesn't seek expansion, its strength can't be increased. As early as Zhang Shi's period, Xiliang had begun to turn its eyes to the West. It was not until Zhang Mao was in power that it began to march to the west, but Zhang Mao soon died. It was not until Zhang Jun's execution that it really began to take action.
Why did Zhang Chonghua change the ruling strategy of previous generations? The rise of the Han state under Liu Yan's rule was too rapid. If it was just a simple strong Han state, it would be like that. However, Liu Yan also shouted to fully recover the old land of the Han family. Shi Jie Zhao saw that it was not far from being destroyed. None of the Huns in Heshuo dared to block the front. Zhang Chonghua was foolish enough not to change the national strategy.
Liu Yan suddenly asked a sentence that seemed irrelevant to Xiliang: "haven't you found Fu Hong yet?"
Sangyu responded quickly. Hearing the sound, he knew his elegance and said, "Fu Hong is far away from the northwest. It's time to go to the West Gaoche. The Qiang and Di people in the basin will harass the boundary of Longxi from time to time."
The state of Han will certainly continue to expand to the West. Liu Yan thinks about who needs to plough all the way first, but the Fu family doesn't seem to understand the meaning, so Liu Yan should find another precursor.
