Chapter one hundred and ninety-six this strategy
Li Jia is indeed a little out of reach for the situation in the Northeast. The small Bohai Kingdom has split a few years after it was restored, which is also a considerable loss for the anti-Khitan forces.
The Khitan snake swallows elephant. After all, the Bohai Kingdom is a semi-agricultural country with a population of millions. After swallowing the Bohai Kingdom, it spits out half of it, but the most important part has already been in the stomach.
Besides, how many people are there in the Khitan? The 200,000 Han people in Yanyun alone will be almost one million, and they are already indigestion. If they swallow up nearly one million Bohai people with a population of millions, as well as the original Bohai people, Mongolians, forests and other people, the population of the Daliao will be changed.
The Khitans used small to control the big, with a population of only more than 300,000. They relied on other tribes to suppress the Han people in Yanyun. However, as time went by, the number of Han people continued to increase. When the Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, the Han people had a population of more than 2 million, and the Khitan people were also a certain amount of sinicization.
A large population? Indigestion? I don’t mind it.
Li Jia is indeed coveting Yan Yun’s millions of population, but he is currently afraid to provoke the Liao people. After all, the huge resource of the Khitan Horse is still in their hands, so Li Jia dare not act rashly.
However, the people of Bohai can do it!
"How did the Bohai people become Chinese?" Although we know in history books that the Bohai people are known as "Haidong Shengguo" and "Little China", these things have become a huge street in later generations. Which one has never been called by North Korea, Vietnam, and Ryukyu? You can't believe it too much.
"The original species of Bohai Kingdom has always admired the Central Plains since His Majesty Ming Emperor was named the Prince of Bohai. He has set up five capitals, fifteen prefectures, and sixty-two states in China. They are all proud of knowing Chinese characters. According to historical records of the previous Tang Dynasty, Dingkou has exceeded one million..."
When Judge Wang Ning and Governor Li’s question was always confident. It would be good to read too much, and he said it very smoothly.
Li Jia really admires this kind of kung fu for being knowledgeable and remembered. However, it is because of his talent, and he cannot force it. He sighed:
"What a pity, the 'Haidong Shengguo' was swallowed up by the Khitans. If it weren't for the iron tools of the Bohai people and farming, how could the Khitans be as strong as they are today? How could they oppress the Central Plains?"
The Bohai people are actually very similar to the Jurchens. They are both semi-fishing, hunting and half-agricultural races, and are stronger than semi-nomadic people like the Khitans. However, after many years of sinicization, the blood in their bones has long been erased. In addition, it was the end of the dynasty, so they naturally could not resist the barbaric Khitans.
"I heard that the Liaodong Peninsula forced millions of Bohai people to migrate, and there are hundreds of thousands in Goryeo. In this chaotic era, you can't waste it!" Li Jia sighed and said to Wang Ning:
"Take some money from the treasury and go to Khitan or Goryeo to exchange for Bohai people. Whether it is soldiers or farmers, we will be more and more!"
"The treasury is still quite abundant, and I can raise some money, but where do these Bohai people buy it and place it?"
Wang Ning's brows frowned into eight characters. The so-called "not my race, their hearts must be different." These things have not become popular at this time, so he doesn't care about these things, and even has more Dingkou to gather strength.
Only in the Song Dynasty did they fail to defeat others. In order to unite people's hearts and to prevent the people from rebelling in difficult times, they promoted them, hoping to use external forces to solve internal pressure.
"There are many barren mountains and ridges in the south of the land. However, if the northerners go south, just because the local people are not accommodating the land, they will lose more than half of the money, and some of them will be reduced..."
Li Jia patted his head. Indeed, it was true that this era was not suitable for the local environment and the lives of human beings were indeed destined to be killed. The ancients were afraid of exile. In the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties, more than tens of thousands of Han people went south from Hunan, but less than 30% survived.
Even if I adapted, the humidity in Lingnan was too heavy, and the miasma of poisonous snakes was hard to prevent. Her husband died prematurely. Li Jia's father Li Wei was less than fifty years old. He lived in peace for many years and his rheumatism was already very serious.
He himself was afraid that staying here for a long time is not the 21st century. Even in Panyu, he wanted to go to the Central Plains.
Even if the Central Plains is not good, we have to stay in Jiangnan. Lingnan is not suitable for a long time.
"Hainan cannot do it, it is too hot, and Xiao Liuqiu cannot do it, it is even more dangerous. Jeju Island cannot do it, it is too small. Now the plan is to go to Japan..."
"Didn't you open a gold mine on Jiuzhou Island a while ago? Jiuzhou Island has a small population and has not yet been renovated too much. It is feasible to occupy a piece of land. It is not far from Liaodong, and the climate is also suitable..."
Li Jia murmured to herself, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Kyushu Island is originally remote, and I heard that the population is only about 100,000. If hundreds of thousands of people are migrated to Kyushu Island, it can also create established facts and occupy the island.
Then after a few years of operation, it will be a good campground to go north and it can also serve as a front station to Japan. It is very convenient whether it is doing business or anything else.
"Let the chamber of commerce discuss with the Khitan nobles, buy some Bohai slaves, and then place them at Lingji. There are not enough miners..."
"Yes-" Wang Ning agreed decisively, took notes, and after returning to his office, he would explain it to the books...
As the judge of the Governor's Office, it is indeed difficult. Not only do you have to deal with the affairs of the court, but you also have to help Governor Li handle the housework of the Li family. You are busy every day. In just a few months, you have a lot of white hair.
Li Jia couldn't bear it, so she arranged some books to relieve the pressure, but she was really happy with it. Helplessly, Governor Li could only give some supplements on weekdays.
"By the way, how about General Pan Chongche in the north? Have you not had a reply yet?"
Since we decided to re-establish the Annan Protectorate and personally conquer Jiaozhi, General Pan, who had tens of thousands of soldiers in the north, could not let go. Otherwise, as soon as Li Jia left, he would cooperate with him inside and outside to fight Panyu City. Wouldn't he have failed?
Therefore, before personally crusting Jiaozhi, tens of thousands of troops in the north must be solved, otherwise Li Jia would be unable to sleep or eat.
"There is no reply yet. Pan Chongche entered the palace since he was a child. He is deeply trusted by Zhongzong. He is loyal and brave. He is polite to his soldiers on weekdays. It would be difficult if he asked him to withdraw his troops!"
Wang Ning thought for a while, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Are you loyal to the emperor? I like such a person, but unfortunately I can't take it for myself!" Li Jia sighed.
In history, Pan Chongche was in Dabao in the second year of his stay, but the eunuch Xue Zong failed to ask for bribes and became slandered. Later, when the Northern Song Dynasty invaded, he surrendered even though he had tens of thousands of troops in his hands.
The most powerful general in the Southern Han Dynasty! Li Jia is very jealous.
"If I don't listen to my words, what about the imperial edict? The Liu family is kind to him, and even the emperor's words, it can only be rebelling. Let's control the food and grass, and know his army well these days, and its military strength is greater than that of him..."
