Chapter 138 Great Progress In Taoism And Changes In Kyushu (Happy Spring Festival)
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.
Just as Jiang Chengqian was practicing the "Humane God-Apothesizing Method", the spring and autumn of the year passed by in a blink of an eye.
In this year, Jiang Chengqian's True Spirit Primordial Spirit increased by more than three times by reciting the "Immeasurable Man's Sutra", and he has made great progress in his Taoism.
Even compared to the real Apostles of the Sun, they are not inferior in the slightest.
And the entire Great Qin is also undergoing earth-shaking changes.
In addition to the fact that "The Book of the Six Heavens Governed by the Northern Emperor Fengdu" has become more deeply rooted in the people's hearts and changed the customs and habits of the people of Qin in all aspects.
The real-border immigration plan formulated by Jiang Chengqian and implemented by Emperor Yi and other court officials finally began to bear fruit.
Under Jiang Chengqian's instructions, Emperor Yi moved 30,000 households of good families from eight counties in northern Xinjiang and 50,000 powerful households in Guanzhong to settle in Mobei, occupying the fertile land of Hetao.
In just one year, the name of "Fortress Guanzhong" spread throughout Kyushu.
The prefectural and county officials of the newly built Hezhong and Hetao counties were all smiles from ear to ear. They directly won the top three in the above plan, ranking as "highest", and accumulated three rounds of merit.
For a time, the people of Kyushu burst out with great enthusiasm for immigrating to Mobei. They no longer regarded it as a bitter and cold place, and they were flocking to it.
As the saying goes: The nine bends of the river are all about profit.
Mobei is indeed a bitter cold land, but the Hetao area is filled with rich black soil. It has always been the private land of the barbarian royal courts, and it is incredibly fertile.
So Emperor Yi immediately ordered: Move another 10 million people to Shibian, Mobei, giving priority to landless people such as refugees and tenants. He also used a "contract system" to the world's warriors and powerful people, and transferred pastures with lush water and grass, turning Mobei into a It became the horse breeding land of Daqin and vigorously developed animal husbandry.
According to Jiang Chengqian's plan: Mobei can carry at least 30 million people, and three more states and twelve counties will be built, opening up millions of miles of territory for the Qin Dynasty, which can greatly alleviate the population pressure of the nine states of the Qin Dynasty.
On the other side, Wang Jian led hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer Baiyue, but it went well but not unfavorably.
Facing Great Qin's most elite armored soldiers, Baiyue had no capital to confront them head-on.
However, the progress of the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops led by Wang Jian is hard to describe.
The land of hundreds of southern barbarians is known as the "One Hundred Thousand Mountains".
It’s not “one hundred thousand miles of mountains”, but “one hundred thousand miles of mountains”.
It is unknown whether there are 100,000 mountains in Southern Xinjiang, but there are countless mountains, large and small.
Moreover, the mountains are high and densely forested, covered with smog and miasma, and there are countless poisonous insects and beasts.
There are many witchcraft practitioners in Baiyue, and they can be said to be like a fish in water in the Baiyue Mountains. Even the ordinary people in Baiyue Mountains can walk as fast as flying and appear as if they are invisible.
Therefore, the real opponent of the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops led by Wang Jian was not the people of Baiyue Mountains at all, but the "good time and place" in the hundreds of thousands of mountains.
Often after a battle, there are not many frontal injuries. Instead, "non-combat attrition" due to miasma and diseases during the march accounted for the vast majority of the Qin army's casualties.
In response to this, Wang Jian's response was to build a stronghold and fight stupidly.
While imitating Jiang Chengqian's "old wisdom" and placing a bounty on the heads of Baiyue mountain people with the "Jue Barbarian Order", he set fire to the mountain and pushed forward into the difficult terrain by fighting for every inch of land.
At this time, there is no concept of "there is fire on the mountain and I am in the place".
Although Wang Jian's response was "stupid", it was indeed effective.
Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, centered in Jiujiang and other counties, lined up and pushed southward, constantly eroding the land of the Baiyue Mountain people and compressing their activity space.
In just one year, they advanced 800 miles south, fought thousands of battles, large and small, without a single defeat, and made the Baiyue Alliance miserable.
The warriors of the Qin Dynasty, who also knew how to eat marrow and taste, flocked to the land of Baiyue in southern Xinjiang.
The weak formed groups and served as auxiliaries and civilian servants for the Qin army, earning rewards and merits.
The stronger ones went rampant in the southern border, killing hundreds of people, and harassed the Baiyue cave village in various ways, making them live in peace and chaos.
However, if this trend continues, it is estimated that within ten years they will not be able to occupy the entire southern Xinjiang, let alone kill the Baiyue Mountain people.
That is to say, the Great Qin court has made several windfalls in recent years, otherwise it would not be able to support an army of hundreds of thousands, which would continue to be consumed year after year.
In this regard, there were quite a few complaints from everyone in the court, and there were even voices impeaching Wang Jian for his incompetence and self-respect for raising bandits.
However, they were all suppressed by Jiang Chengqian and failed to cause any disturbance.
Jiang Chengqian had his own plans for Baiyue in southern Xinjiang, and originally planned to let Wang Jian deal with them.
As long as this high-pressure situation is maintained, changes will occur in southern Xinjiang sooner or later.
At that time, it will be a decisive battle that will determine the southern border and kill the people of Baiyue Mountain.
After all, it’s still the same sentence: Da Qin is now prosperous, the country is rich and the people are strong. If even Da Qin can’t afford it, Baiyue Cave can’t afford it even more.
Even if they fight hard, they can still be consumed to death.
If you are greedy for merit and advance rashly, you will easily lose troops and generals, and even risk the entire army being annihilated.
What's more, today's Great Qin can be said to be a gathering of stars, with wise generals like clouds and fierce generals like rain. It needs this protracted war to train it before it can become a soldier.
Wang Jian's strategy of sitting in the middle of the army and letting his generals divide their forces to attack can be said to have won "my heart" and is exactly what Jiang Chengqian wants.
It seems that the troops are divided into dozens of groups, but each group can look after each other, just like a snake with its tail. If you hit the head, the tail will come, if you hit the tail, the head will come, and if you hit the tail, both the head and the tail will come.
In a nutshell: The battle strength is 800,000 vs. 600,000. The advantage lies with me.
The Qin court's dissatisfaction with Wang Jian was, to put it bluntly, the result of being "used" by Jiang Chengqian.
After all, his record of breaking a million in one day, annihilating hundreds of barbarians in three months, and defeating all barbarians in two years was so amazing and unbelievable that it made people unconsciously raise their standards for the generals of Great Qin.
In fact, except for Wang Jian, an experienced general who had already become the deputy commander-in-chief of Great Qin during the reign of Lord Wu'an, no one else could even achieve such a record.
How could Jiang Chengqian not learn the painful lesson from the First Emperor's southern expedition to Baiyue?
Although Jiang Chengqian is not too busy, with him at the center, he is like a needle in the sea, always controlling the direction of Da Qin's carriage.
During this year, Jiang Chengqian's "Humane God-Apothesizing Method" also made great progress.
More than half of the three hundred and sixty-five body gods, Emperor Monarch, have been condensed.
As long as these three hundred and sixty-five bodies and gods are condensed, the "Humane Gods" plan can be officially launched, and the entire Kyushu can be controlled in the palm of the hand.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengqian immediately stopped paying attention to external matters and concentrated on entering a state of seclusion.
Although the progress of the "Humane Divine Conferment Method" will become slower as time passes, Jiang Chengqian is confident that he will be able to practice it to the Basic Accomplishment state within two years.
