Chapter 20-Colonists Should Have People
After arranging the construction of the ship and the temporary houses.
Zhang Xun left over 60 13-year-old adopted sons and 500 soldiers on Surging East Island. The captured Yuezhou navy soldiers became the new oarsmen. They selected soldiers from the original oarsmen and added them to the melee army camp.
After a round of reorganization, Zhang Xun left behind three double-decker galley ships as guards for Surging East Island. He then brought the remaining nine galley ships and entered the Yangtze River mouth once again. Robbery.
These days, many counties along the Yangtze River were attacked. Zhang Xun's goal was to plunder the people!
The population of young adults!
Coercion.
How could he not know?
It could be said that this time he went to Flowing Ball to colonize. If there were no people, how could he colonize?
Coiling the people was obviously the cheapest and most efficient method of immigration.
There had been many successful examples of similar operations in the history of the Celestial Empire.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng and the peasant army even relied on coercing the people to snowball and directly ruin the Ming Dynasty's rule.
"Hurry up! Light it up!"
Zhang Eighteen ordered loudly!
This was a small town with a population of more than 3,000 people. He was leading a team of soldiers to prevent the fire.
First, they had to burn down the people's houses and cut off their escape routes. This was a necessary step when coercing the people.
Of course, when the houses were burned down, the residents in the houses had already been gathered by the river.
It was the people who brought along the old and the young with their only rations. A simple bridge allowed more than 3,000 people to pass.
Of course, not all of these lives were voluntary-or rather, most of them were not voluntary.
Of course, there were also those who volunteered.
For example, there were some prisoners, miscellaneous households who lived a hard life, and some refugees who had no fixed residence.
According to the plan formulated by Zhang Xun's newly established godson of the Grand Governor's Office, the plan wasn't exactly rigorous, but it was still better than no plan at all.
The foster son advisors felt that they should be carefully organized and mess up those who were familiar with each other.
At the same time, the prisoners released from the prison, as well as miscellaneous households (a type of Tang Dynasty untouchables, mainly soldiers who had fought with the Tang army during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty.）Weapons were given to them to monitor the people who were forced to migrate.
When they reached Flowing Ball, they would follow the instructions, level the land, distribute grain seeds, and build villages.
In short, they were all trivial matters.
This scene would probably continue to play out on the Great Tang's shores and the Yangtze River for the next three months.
They would bring 100,000 people to the Flowing Sphere to establish a foothold and establish a colony city.
From this point of view, they were the first batch of colonists in China and had a great historical significance.
Zhang Xun's target was Beiliu Ball, the plains around Vale.
The water and grass here were lush, and rivers and lakes were everywhere. It was very suitable for early development.
In fact, most of the Han immigrants who arrived early in Flowing Ball also started there.
"House, our house is gone.”
"There's no home!"
"What a sin!"
"Why is our life so bitter?”
When the fire and smoke rose.
The people on the dock burst into heart-wrenching cries.
What was burned was their home, and in the distance, who knew what was waiting for them?
How could they not be heartbroken?
"Shut the f * ck up, we're going to be Silla's masters! Why are you crying?"
Of course, brainwashing was also necessary. Governor Zhang had painted a picture for everyone. If they followed Governor Zhang, not only would they be given land and land, but everyone would also be given a Silla woman.
Now that Silla maids had just become popular in Chang 'an, these fishermen and farmers who were suffering along the Yangtze River might be treated the same as the Tang Dynasty nobles in Chang' an City. Everyone would take a Silla wife.
Governor Zhang's ability to draw a pie did not seem to be very good, so many people were forced to follow him.
However, whether it was voluntary or forced, in this world, what choice did the people at the bottom have?
...
Yangzhou, Grand Governor's Office.
Cheng Yaojin, the Great General of the Right Dragon Army, Lu Guangyi, who had just been stripped of his position as Yuezhou Governor, Cui Liang, the Governor of Yangzhou, and Li Chongyi, the son of King Hejian, who was waiting to redeem himself, gathered together.
Cheng Yaojin and the others came from Yuezhou by boat in fear. The reason why they were afraid was that if they encountered the Black Tiger Navy, the dignified Duke Lu of the Great Tang might be drowned.
Fortunately, Grand Duke Cheng's luck was pretty good.
The day he went to Yangzhou was the day Zhang Xun returned to Surging East Island with thousands of people.
"Great Marshal, that Zhang Xun has been using the banner of conquering the Goguryeo Great General to plunder people and goods along the river.”
Cui Liang, the Governor of Yangzhou, said angrily.
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Cui Liang and said,""This kid won't last for more than a few days. Viceroy Cui, how are the preparations going?”
"Commander, the Five Prefectures of Yangzhou have gathered all the soldiers who can fight. There are a total of 12,000 people. They are now stationed near Changshu County. As long as this Zhang Xun appears, they will immediately surround and kill him!”
Cui Liang said.
"Good! This time, he would definitely make that Zhang die without a burial place!”
Cheng Yaojin clapped his hands and laughed.
