Chapter 2596: Ten counties in Dianzhou, the alliance of Qinnan
The Qin Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians are more of mutual use, so although the relationship between the two countries is well apparently good, it is not as good as being intimate.
However, the name Kunming was indeed chosen by Ying Hao.
When Zhurong was on a mission to the Qin Dynasty last time, when he talked with Ying Hao about the future development of the Southern Barbarians, Zeng Yan''s brother Chi You was worried about the location and construction of the Xindu.
After Ying Hao looked at the territory of the Southern Barbarians, he gave Zhu Rong some of his opinions.
The Nanzhong region occupied by the Southern Barbarians is actually a large and general regional model, which roughly refers to later Yunnan, Guizhou, some areas in southwestern Sichuan, and some areas in northern Myanmar.
In order to compete for the southern region of Yizhou, the Southern Barbarians launched five major wars against Shu, each of which was extremely fierce. The territorial changes between the two countries and the division of counties were quite frequent.
Under Chi You''s leadership, when the Southern Barbarian Army was at its strongest momentum, it occupied most of the area in Yinan and even almost attacked Yizhong, which was less than a hundred miles away from Cheng. This was also the most likely time for Chi You to take over Chengdu.
But it is precisely because of this that Yizhou, which was forced to unite and go to the outside world.
In the end, the three princes Liu Yu, Liu Ji and Li Shimin joined forces to repel Chi You''s southern barbarian army.
In the five battles against Shu, each time the Southern Barbarians took the initiative to attack, and Shu was passively defending. Although the Southern Barbarians lost, the main force did not lose.
Therefore, even if Liu Yu unified Yizhou, he would not dare to provoke the Southern Barbarians easily. After all, Chiyou is really not easy to provoke, and Nanzhong is a place where birds do not shit.
Even if Shu Kingdom occupied Nanzhong, it would be difficult to govern and win the hearts of the people. Instead, it would restrain Shu Kingdom''s many troops, and the benefits it gained may not be as good as the losses.
Therefore, in the eyes of the senior officials of Shu Kingdom, Nanzhong is a quagmire, so naturally they dare not intervene easily.
Originally, there were only five counties in Yizhou, Yongchang, Jinghua, Yuezhi and Zhuti.
In the more than ten years of tug-of-war, Shu Kingdom and the Southern Barbarians almost fought for an inch of land, which also formed the following pattern in the areas south of Yizhou.
Yizhou County was divided into three counties: Yizhou, Jianning and Yunnan;
Yongchang County was divided into three counties: Yongchang, Dali and Lijiang;
The county of Liuhu was divided into three counties: ?The county of Liuhu, northern Guizhou and southern Guizhou;
Yuezhi County was divided into two counties: Yuezhi and Liangshan;
Add to the Zhuti County, which was changed to the vassal state of Jianwei, there are now eleven counties in Yinan.
The Southern Barbarians failed to achieve five successes, and the occupied area was also shrinking. Now there are only three counties: Yunnan, Dali, Lijiang, Qiannan, and Jianning, a total of four and a half counties, while the other six and a half counties belong to Shu.
After clarifying the situation in Nanzhong, Ying Hao suggested Zhurong that since there are only three counties left in Jianning County, it is better to simply merge with Yunnan County, and the new capital was moved to Guchang County, which was razed to ruins, and renamed it: Kunming.
Zhurong carefully pondered Ying Hao''s words and felt that Changgu County, which had been transformed into ruins, was a fast treasure land.
80% of the areas in Nanzhong are mountainous and plateaus, and there are very few plains available for planting, so the grain production in Nanzhong is still unable to reach it.
Kechanggu County is not only a rare plain terrain, but also close to Dianchi Lake, which is convenient for irrigation and is naturally suitable for the development of agriculture. It also has salt, iron ore and copper ore surrounding it, which is rich in mineral resources.
To be honest, as long as Changgu can be developed, the output of this place alone can support one-third of the Southern Barbarians.
But why didn’t the Southern Barbarians discover such a treasure land?
Liu Yu also saw the potential of Changgu County, so after he found that he could not defend himself, in order to avoid the enemy, he burned Changgu into scorched earth with fire.
After Zhurong returned to China with Ye Qingmei''s fleet, he immediately told Ying Hao''s suggestion to his brother Chiyou, and Chiyou also felt like he had a treasure.
Soon, Chiyou ordered the merger of the three counties of Jianning and five counties in Yunnan into Dian County, the capital was set as Changgu County, and the name was renamed Kunming.
Later, Chiyou set up new areas: Qujing, Yuxi, Zhaotong, Baoshan, Pu''er, Lincang and Myanmar County, a total of seven counties.
In addition to the four counties of Dian County, Dali, Lijiang and Qiannan, the Southern Barbarians have a total of eleven counties and 68 counties;
Chiyou set up ten counties except northern Myanmar, a total of 64 counties, and established them as Dianzhou, and changed the Southern Barbarians to the Southern Kingdom, with the capital of Kunming.
In the following two years, the southern country not only vigorously moved the people to Kunming, but also gathered the strength of the country to develop Kunming with all its might, which made the scale of Kunming City reach the level of the Zhongyuan County District.
[Dingdong, Chiyou set up the "Dianzhou" and vigorously governed Nanzhong, making a rare contribution to the region in a thousand years. Rewards: In addition to force, the four-dimensional attributes permanent +1, intellectual attributes +2, and political attributes +3, and the population growth rate of the region doubles within one year;
Chi You: Commander 101 (+2), Force 110 (+2), Intelligence 93 (+6), Politics 89 (+11), Charm 98 (+8);
Current Chiyou Five Dimensions: Commander 102 (+3), Force 110 (+2), Intelligence 96 (+9), Politics 93 (+15), Charm 99 (+9);]
Chiyou''s martial arts value has reached 110 points, and he can no longer rely on system rewards to improve his attributes. Only by breaking his own limits can he continue to seek breakthroughs in martial arts.
Zhang Yi and Chi You had a great time talking, but they didn''t notice the seven swords behind them at all. The seven people were all tense, not even daring to breathe. The eyes of Chi You looked at Chi You were filled with solemnity.
It was not until Chi You left that the seven people breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yiyue saw the abnormality of the seven people and asked in confusion: "Why are you so restrained just now?"
Yuwen Tuo explained seriously: "Mr. Zhang, you are a literati, so you can''t feel it, but in the perception of our warriors, this Southern King is simply a giant dragon in the prehistoric world, and his skills are even more unfathomable."
"Is it so exaggerated? I think this Nan Wang is quite kind."
Hearing Zhang Yi''s words, Ximen Chuxue said with a serious look on his face: "Sir, even if the seven people in total are still far from the Southern King."
"What?"
When Zhang Yi heard this, he was shocked: "You wait for the seven people to join forces, even the grandmaster can only avoid the edge for a while, but he is far inferior to the Southern King? How is this possible? Is he also a grandmaster?"
Xie Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "It should not be. After breaking through to the Grand Master, his aura will be relaxed and he cannot perceive it at all. Even if the Grand Master is standing in front of you, he is still the same as an ordinary person in your perception. King Nan is still in our perception, which shows that he has not yet broken through to the Grand Master."
"Even Xiang Yu, who had not broken through before the Grand Master, and General Li Cunxiao, gave me the impression that he was not as strong as this Southern King. Even if he was not a Grand Master, he should be a half-step Grand Master, and he is not far from breaking through." Yan Shisan said in a deep voice.
“Hiss…”
Zhang Yi immediately took a breath and couldn''t believe what he had heard.
Even when Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao had not yet broken through to the great master, they were still recognized as the best in the world. But when Chi You, who had not yet broken through to the great master, was they still strong?
This is too outrageous.
Zhang Yi knew Chi You''s record, and even Xing Tian, ??the most powerful general in Shu Kingdom, was not his opponent. Xing Tian and Houyi must join forces to defeat him.
Even so, Zhang Yi naturally didn''t want to believe this and asked with disbelief: "What do you mean is that Chi You''s strength is stronger than Xiang Yu and General Li Cunxiao?"
"This is not true. Strong aura does not mean strong strength. If you don''t fight directly, no one knows who is stronger and weak, but the momentum alone is already so strong, and your strength will definitely not be much weaker." Ye Gucheng said in a deep voice.
"Chi You should not be much weaker than General Li Cunxiao who had not broken through before the Grand Master, at least at the level of Sun Lingming and Yang Jian." Bu Jingyun said.
After hearing this, Zhang Yi still felt a little uncomfortable.
The entire Central Plains has a population of tens of millions, and the competition among warriors is extremely fierce, but only the two world''s best, Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao, were born.
Nanzhong has only a population of only two or three million. Although survival is difficult, the competition among warriors is not fierce. How can it be born with a genius like Chiyou, who is the same level as Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao?
In this regard, Zhang Yi can only say that Tianyou Nanzhong is here.
Zhang Yi originally thought that since the southern country was so backward, the talents should be extremely scarce. Chiyou was just an isolated case and could not represent the entire country. But after inquiring about some information from the southern country, he found that he was too wrong.
There is indeed a very shortage of talents in the southern country, but there are not many high-end talents at all.
First of all, the prime minister of the Southern Kingdom was actually a famous master of evil ways, Shi Renjie, the leader of the Moon Sect.
This is a master of the great master level. All the countries in the Central Plains are rushing to recruit, but they are willing to stay in the small country of the southern country to be the prime minister.
Zhang Yi was also very curious about this. After inquiring, he learned that Shi Jieren, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Sect, was the adopted son of Shi Gonghu, the leader of the Shi family in the South, and Shi Gonghu was also the elder of the Southern Barbarians.
After Shi Jieren formed the Moon Worshiping Cult, he was the leader in the Yinan region for a while.
Chi You, who had not yet broken through the half-step master, learned that there were such powerful people in the Southern Barbarians, but did not break into the Moon Worship Sect alone for the Southern Barbarians, and beat Shi Jie to surrender to the Southern Kingdom.
I have to say that although Shi Jie is a person of evil deeds, he is indeed talented. He helped Chi You solve many problems and took up the position of prime minister little by little with his own ability.
In addition to Shi Jieren, Zhang Yi found that there were many talents in the Southern Barbarians: such as: Duan Siping, the governor of Dali County, Shi Tianlin, the governor of Pu''er County, Shi Qing, the governor of Myanmar County, and Shi Yannian, the governor of Lincang County.
These four counties were originally uncivilized and impoverished places, but under the governance of these four prefects, all four counties ushered in great governance and gradually became richer. They no longer needed the resource support of the southern country, but could still feed back to the southern country.
Among these four prefects, Duan Siping was the founding emperor of Dali, and Dali was survived for 317 years, only two years less than the Song Dynasty.
Shi Tianlin was the prime minister during the Yuan Dynasty. He lived to be 92 years old and assisted the Yuan emperors for four times. He was loyal and had outstanding political achievements.
Shi Qing was the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. He was the prime minister of Qi at first, but without saying that Qi was ruled by the State of Qi. After his death, he was posthumously named Zhen Hou.
Shi Yannian was a famous minister of the Song Dynasty. His poems by Shi Yannian, Ouyang Xiu''s writings and Du Mo''s songs, were called the "Three Heroes".
Duan Siping and Shi Tianlin are both hidden figures of the Bronze Hundred Sects, while Shi Yannian is the hidden figure of the poet Baizang.
Duan Siping was implanted into the head of the Duan family in Dali, while Shi Tianlin and Shi Yannian were implanted into Shi Gonghu''s son, who is the righteous brother of Nanxiang Shi Renjie.
As for Shi Qing, he was implanted into a Han native in Yizhou. Because of his poor family background, he was sent to the county magistrate of Yinan. He was forced to surrender when Chiyou attacked Shu, and later he was valued by Chiyou.
There were many Han officials who surrendered like Shi Qing, such as Lu Kai, the magistrate of Buwei County, Wang Kang, the magistrate of Dianchi County, etc., and they were also valued by Chi You.
In addition to the above four prefects, as well as long-standing generals such as Gonggong and Meng Huo, Zhang Yi discovered that there were many talents in the southern country, such as: Shi Gonghu, Tang Yu, Duan Siying, Duan Zhengchun, Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhixing, Wu Huo, Suo Chao, Sun Li, Chi Li, etc.
With so many talents, it is no wonder that Chiyou completely transformed Nanzhong into a new era in such a short period of time and developed to the current level.
The next day, Zhang Yi expressed his intention in the dynasty, but Chi You caught him off guard when he said the next thing.
"I have already understood the purpose of the envoy. I will just say it. The southern country agreed to send troops, but in addition to these funding, I also hope that the Qin Dynasty would agree to the southern country with a condition." Chi You said to Zhang Yi with a smile.
