Youzhou, as the capital of the Republic, would certainly be considered a first-class big city in the eyes of future generations, but at this time, Youzhou was not a big city.
At this time, Youzhou did not have the gorgeous aura as the capital of the central dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Instead, because it was the place where Anlu Mountain rebelled, it got the title of Yan Thief, which made it somewhat infamous.
Of course, in Youzhou at this time, there was no Forbidden City, no Tiananmen Square, no Di'anmen Square, and no Chaoyang Community that frightened the brothers.
At this time, in Youzhou City, there was only the Jiqing Palace that Yelu Ruan expanded on the palace of Dongping County Prince in Anlu Mountain.
The entire Youzhou City was located in the area from Fayuan Temple to Baiyun Temple in Xicheng District of Beijing in later generations.
Zhang Gao speculated that this city was only half the size of Xuanwu District in Beijing in later generations. Not to mention cities like Taiyuan, it was smaller than Yecheng at that time and about the same size as Yunzhou.
But there is one thing. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, after the Tang Dynasty lost its territory in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning, Youzhou's strategic position has become more and more important. By this time, it has almost become an existence that can defend the Khitan alone.
When Zhang Gao entered the city from the south gate of Youzhou, many people looked at Zhang Gao's carriage entering the city, with expressions of fear and indignation on their faces.
This fear is easy to understand. People in Youzhou don't know what kind of temper Zhang Yan has. What if he is more cruel than the Khitans?
What's more, Yelu Deguang and Yelu Ruan, the uncle and nephew, have always thrown dirty water on me, Zhang Shengren.
The title of Emperor Shaoming as a Tibetan Bandit is not much better than the title of Emperor of Khitan as a Northern Bandit.
It's just that I don't know where to start with this indignation. Zhang Yan didn't plan to ask anyone, so he had better go to the palace first.
. . . .
Gao Xingzhou also came back from Guizhou to greet him. Guizhou was the Huailai and Yanqing areas of Beijing in later generations. Of course, its jurisdiction was very large. Zhuozhou, Xuanhua, Zhangjiakou, etc. in Hebei Province all fell under the jurisdiction of Guizhou.
The reason Gao Xingzhou was able to come back to greet him was because Zhe Congyuan captured Yunzhou, and the pressure from foreign enemies on Guizhou was almost gone.
Gao Xingzhou recruited some local tycoons in Shanbei, stabilized the local situation, and ran back.
He, Murong Nobunaga and others had been waiting at Jiqing Palace for a long time. Murong Nobunaga held a list in his hand and reported the numbers to Zhang Gao one by one.
The brocades, cloths, goldware, silverware, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and even copper coins in Jiqing Palace were all registered and untouched.
There are more than 200 beautiful palace residents in the palace, not only Han people, but also Khitans, Bohai people and even Zubu people and Jurchens.
But by the time Zhang Yan arrived, many of the beautiful palace residents had almost starved to death.
Because Murong Nobunaga sealed off Jiqing Palace and did not let anyone in or come out.
There is a daily supply of food, but the order in the palace has been lost. In addition, there are small groups and grudges among the palace people, which has formed the law of the jungle like the law of the jungle.
She is weak, her beauty is usually envied by others, and she is not liked by others. She is really hungry and loses her shape.
I can’t tell that Murong Nobunaga is quite cruel!
Zhang Yanzhi sighed mentally, but then he remembered the angry looks of the Youzhou people when he entered the city, and looked at Murong Nobunaga thoughtfully and asked.
"How are Zhao Yanshou's funeral affairs handled?"
Murong Nobunaga bent down and replied: "Zhao Yanshou's crime was so heinous that my son-in-law wrapped his body and dug a hole outside Fayuan Temple."
Zhang Gao glared at Murong Nobunaga fiercely, and snorted with some annoyance: "I don't do any serious work every day, just think about something."
This is not Murong Nobunaga's cruelty, this boy is degrading himself!
The Jinyi guards had already penetrated into Youzhou, and Zhang Yan certainly knew what Zhao Yanshou's image was among the people of Youzhou.
In Zhangzhou, Zhao Yanshou was a shameless traitor who took refuge in the Khitan, but in the eyes of the people in Youzhou and other six states of the Lulong Army, Zhao Yanshou was a poor man who was betrayed to the Khitan by the Central Plains court just like them.
The people of Youzhou lived under the cruel oppression of the Khitan and regarded Zhao Yanshou as the embodiment of longing for the relatively happy life in the past, so they had deep feelings for Zhao Yanshou.
Zhang Yan agreed to kill Zhao Yanshou because Zhao Yanshou deserved to die due to emotion and reason, national sentiment and law, but he still had to be given the dignity he deserved.
Just digging a hole like this is like burying a dead dog. They don't even bury the coffin. No wonder the people of Youzhou look indignant.
And Murong Nobunaga wanted the people of Youzhou to hate him, so that he could offset his achievements in entering Youzhou and make him look less powerful.
Zhang Gao walked towards the palace angrily, walked two steps and then came back to look at Murong Nobunaga and shouted.
"Let these palace men recuperate for a few days, and after feeding them until they are fat and white, any Han women who have families to return to will be released immediately.
Beauties from the Khitan, Jurchen, Bohai, Zubu and other tribes were all given to meritorious soldiers as wives.
Gao Qing immediately exercised his authority as the envoy of Fan Yangjun in Beiping Prefecture.
You traitor, come in now! "
Zhang Hao was so angry that he even forgot about the prepared ceremony for entering the city.
It was the first time that Murong Nobunaga saw Zhang Yan so angry, so he followed him in with disgrace, leaving only a group of officials staring at him, wondering if the arranged ceremony would still be carried out.
Li Shengtian is happy! Others were afraid of Zhang Hao's thunderous wrath, but he was not afraid. On the contrary, he was a little gloating about his misfortune.
I remember that when Zhang Yan was under his command, he was exactly the same as Murong Nobunaga, and he helped Cao Yuanxin to prevent him from acquiring more beauties, which made Li Shengtian dizzy with anger.
He directly called to the Jinshan Palace Envoy who was going to arrange the palace affairs, that is, the eunuch who was beside Zhang Yan.
"Leave ten of the most beautiful Khitan palace men here for me to reward the warriors."
If others said this, it would definitely not work. Li Shengtian said, and the Jinshan Palace envoy nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and immediately followed the instructions.
Although this man looks like a foreigner, he actually looks like an emperor.
Then Li Shengtian looked at Zhongshu's assistant minister, Wang Yi's secretary Liu Tao, and Zhongshu's Zhizhigao Li Fang.
"Derun, Li Mingyuan, what are you doing standing still? This is the glorious moment to regain Yanyun.
Order the civil and military generals to install gold, jade and silver saddles, wear brocade and gorgeous clothes, ride tall horses, and the three armies to wear armor and carry sharp weapons to show off their martial arts, so that the people of Youzhou will know that the king's division is invincible. "
Having said that, Li Shengtian happily took his Khotanese warriors and participated in the activity of patrolling the streets to praise their merits.
Zhang Yan didn't attach much importance to this, but he Li Shengtian did. It happened that the real dragon was not around, so my uncle Li was having a good time.
. . . .
In Jiqing Palace, Zhang Zhi was furious and drove out all the chamberlains and guards, leaving only Murong Nobunaga and him. Murong Nobunaga had already knelt on the ground.
"My lord, please calm down and don't let your anger break your body."
Zhang Yan took two steps back and forth, pointed his finger at Murong Nobunaga and shouted: "Of course Zhao Yanshou deserves death, but he is also someone's in-law. Just kill him. He deserves to die, but he will not be given dignity even if he dies. You want to let him die?" What do people in the world think of you?"
After finishing the shouting and scolding, before Murong Nobunaga could speak, Zhang Gao suddenly woke up again.
"No! You Murong Nobunaga has such a delicate mind, you will definitely not do such an unjust thing.
Well, just at the gate of the palace, you deliberately explained that Zhao Yanshou had been buried hastily, so that someone could make amends immediately after knowing clearly. "
After saying that, Zhang Hao was really angry and felt a little relieved. He looked at Murong Nobunaga speechlessly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Murong Nobunaga raised his head and pointed his head straight, "No matter what happens, I will never dare to tarnish your reputation."
Zhang Yan calmed down a little, "Is this what your mother taught you to do? Otherwise, given your personality, and Zhao Yanshou is your brother-in-law, you wouldn't be able to do such a thing."
Murong Nobunaga was stunned and spoke after a long while, "How did your Excellency know?"
Zhang Hao snorted coldly. The strong smell of Lady Cao Sanniang's product choked his throat. Did he still know?
"Then your mother must have given you the example of Wang Jian's attack on Chu, right?"
In this era, although Zizhi Tongjian had not yet appeared, people who read history books still knew about Wang Jian's self-destruction before he attacked Chu. Murong Nobunaga was even more shocked after hearing this.
Because this is indeed the case, when he left, his mother did tell him the story of Wang Jian's self-destruction in attacking Chu, and also advised him to collect more treasures and beauties to express his ambition to Zhang Yan.
As soon as Zhang Yan saw Murong Nobunaga's expression, he immediately knew that he had guessed correctly. He grabbed a book next to his seat and smashed it, cursing at the same time.
"I usually tell you to study wisely, but you prefer to read some biographies of knight errants and assassins, or read the biographies of Champion Hou, Li Wei Gong, and the Six Taoist Strategies of War. You don't learn anything else.
Are you fucking Wang Jian? Is Wang Jian a member of the Qin clan? Why are you imitating his self-destruction?
Wang Jian is just a tiger minister. After he committed suicide, others will know his ambitions, and ambitious people will not seek refuge with him. But my son, you are Gao Changgong of Northern Qi!
Do you think Gao Changgong’s self-destruction is effective? He is a member of the clan, and the emperor wants to be suspicious of him. Unless he chops off his own head, Gao Wei will still be suspicious of him. "
The more Zhang Gao scolded, the angrier he became, and he also felt a little emotional in his heart. Although the Guiyi Army was a flag for the Han Dynasty in the northwest, due to its extremely remote location, its force value was acceptable, but its culture was still a bit poor. The Dunhuang athletes who have emerged in recent years , most of them have this problem.
Even a smart person like Cao Sanniang is the same. Her intelligence is actually a talent, and it comes from too little acquired practice.
It is unthinkable for a clan to follow the example of a courtier like Wang Jian who defiled himself.
Murong Nobunaga was completely confused. Even though the eldest son was already twenty-eight years old, he had a wide circle of friends, he was powerful in battle, and he valued love and righteousness. No matter how you looked at it, he was already a master with a tiger on a dragon's side.
But in fact, the inner spiritual support of this big boy who is a tiger and a dragon, comes from his mother Cao Sanniang.
He lost his father when he was young, and his father disappeared before he could understand. From birth to growing up, everything was arranged by his strong mother.
All of his character development, including how to make friends and even horseback riding and archery, were all completed under the influence of his mother.
In Murong Nobunaga's heart, his mother had no plans left, including twelve years ago, when his mother suddenly told him, who was sixteen years old and could be considered an adult, that she wanted to get married. Murong Nobunaga protested by running away from home. , but in the end they all agreed with their mother’s decision.
Because Mrs. Cao Sanniang only had to tell Murong Nobunaga that she had found an absolutely reliable father and future support for Nobunaga's son. All of Murong Nobunaga's ideals could be realized relying on this father.
Even though Murong Nobunaga struggled repeatedly, he finally chose to believe it because his mother never left any plan unturned.
However, today, the law he firmly believed in was broken by Zhang Yan, and he suddenly became a little at a loss. He looked at Zhang Yan blankly and asked the most sincere question in his heart.
"Your Majesty said so, but what should I do? I have made many meritorious deeds over the years, and many people follow me.
However, many of them not only followed Erchen's reputation for being brave and invincible, many of them regarded Erchen as Li Siyuan, the emperor of the later dynasty, and Li Congke, the last emperor.
Some people even suggested that the son-in-law should open a mansion in secret to recruit talents and prepare for the future.
Aunt Nineteen must have felt something, she was not as close to her son as before. "
The corner of Zhang Hao's mouth twitched, these are ambitious ambitious people!
In fact, Zhang Shengren also felt that there were many unhappy people, especially those from the old Hedong and Daibei martial arts factions who had lost their power. They all regarded Murong Nobunaga as Li Siyuan in their hearts.
The ready-made examples are obvious. Although Li Cunxu and Li Siyuan do not have the same father-son relationship as Zhang Yan and Murong Nobunaga, they are too similar.
The current Zhang Yan is exactly the same as Li Cunxu who just entered Luo.
Both of them took it as their mission to restore the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and both had invincible personal armies, and they were extremely good at fighting.
Li Cunxu had four points in the world, especially three, and Zhang Zhi was also fast. Both of them were committed to reducing the power of the vassal town.
Li Cunxu violently defeated his old enemy Zhu Liang, and Zhang Yan also violently defeated his old enemy Yelv Deguang. Li Cunxu destroyed the Liu family of Jieyan and his son, and Zhang Xiang also destroyed the Liu family of Hedong.
The two of them also beat the Khitans violently.
Murong Nobunaga is very similar to Li Siyuan. He is brave and invincible, has a wide network of friends, and is deeply loved by military personnel. He also has generous support behind him.
Li Siyuan relied on Li Congke and other adopted sons and powerful generals, while Murong Nobunaga relied on his mother Cao Sanniang and his wife Princess Yongle of the Later Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment. Judging from the current situation, Murong Nobunaga probably didn't have any thoughts, and there probably weren't many ambitious people who took refuge in him.
Because the Yuancong sect, Donggui sect and Lianglan Liugu sect under Zhang Gao were so powerful, even Li Cunxu did not have such a loyal base at the time.
As long as the Yuancong Sect, Donggui Sect and Lianglan Liugu Sect are still controlled by Zhang Gao, his power will be as stable as Mount Tai.
And the biggest difference between Zhang Yan and Li Cunxu is that Li Cunxu’s power comes from the accumulation of two generations of his father and ancestors. Li Yazi and Sun Shiwan are the same second generation of power, but Li Yazi is better than Sun Shiwan in the early stage, and is more miserable in the later stage. .
But Zhang Yan is not the same. Every bit of his strength is accumulated by himself. His control and prestige are incomparable.
Now that Murong Nobunaga can speak out so calmly, it proves that he has no other ideas at all and is still Zhang Shengren's eldest son.
The careerist who took refuge in him must not have reached the position yet, and could not even influence Murong Nobunaga's thoughts even a little bit.
"Yongle, have you ever expressed similar thoughts?"
Zhang Yan asked the question he was most afraid of with great difficulty. He was not worried about Cao Sanniang, because Sanniang would not do such a thing or be so stupid.
Only Princess Yongle is what Zhang Yan is most worried about. She and Murong Nobunaga raised two sons and two daughters. The eldest son is as his name suggests, a tiger-headed man with a tiger head and a brain. He is a frequent visitor to the palace and is deeply loved by Zhang Yan. If Princess Yongle rises If you have thoughts that shouldn't arise, you'll be in trouble.
Murong Nobunaga quickly shook his head, he looked at Zhang Yan calmly and said: "Yongle told Er Chen that if Er Chen is interested, she might still have the heart to let him compete for the reserve position.
But now, if the people who have subjugated their country are still not satisfied with their current status, they will be punished by God. "
Zhang Hao let out a long breath and felt a chill on his back. He didn't know how the careerists in history killed their brothers and killed their whole families. How did they do it?
Anyway, Zhang Hao himself felt a little unable to do anything even when faced with a daughter-in-law like Princess Yongle.
After going back and forth in his mind many times, seeing Murong Nobunaga being so frank, Zhang Hao also decided to be frank.
"My son has never thought that father XX is actually jealous of you?"
Murong Nobunaga shook his head, "This great Zhou Dynasty was established by my father. Who can shake your position? You don't need to be suspicious of your ministers.
Moreover, Nobunaga has never had other thoughts since he followed the Lord. Some people just want his son to be Li Congke, but if he dies, he will never become Li Congke! "
"Oh? My son is so determined? That's the throne!" Seeing Murong Nobunaga's decisive words, Zhang Hao couldn't help but asked semi-ridiculously.
Murong Nobunaga looked at Zhang Yan seriously, "I still remember what your Excellency said when he first brought us into Guanzhong and passed Danzheng Gorge.
Your Majesty said that he would take us, the ownerless souls of our country back home, and let the persistence of the Han'ers in Longyou, Hexi Province, and let their heroic deeds be known to the whole world.
The Lord also said that you came here to end this troubled world where everyone is forced to constantly kill each other.
Nobunaga also swore at that time that he would bring peace and joy to everyone in the world and that he would revive the dynasty together with you.
If I were Li Congke, wouldn't I end up in the tragedy of later dynasties where fathers, sons and brothers killed each other, and the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed? I would rather die than take it! "
"Hahaha!" Zhang Yan's face finally relaxed. For so many years, he has been instilling the thoughts of nation, justice and benevolence in a small number of people close to him, and now it has finally begun to bear fruit.
Murong Nobunaga's statement proved that he had indeed listened to Zhang Yan's words. He immediately pulled Murong Nobunaga up and praised him repeatedly.
"My son has this ambition. He should read more about Spring and Autumn Period in the future, so that he may be able to compare with the great sages of ancient times.
I can tell you very clearly that I have never doubted you. I have always known that you are not only my best friend, but also a like-minded comrade.
You and I, father and son, are working together to restore peace to the world. When you look at it at that time, compared with the sense of accomplishment of saving all the people in this painful land, gold, jewelry, beauties, and even the throne are so shallow. .
Thousands of years later, you and I have long been dead, but there will be a stroke of rich ink and color on the painting, and there will also be three pillars of fragrance in the temple where the incense rises! "
Murong Nobunaga was so excited by Zhang Yan's words that he felt dizzy and felt as if his soul was rising into the air.
The second characteristic of Hao Daer is that he likes to hear these words the most, and his style is very high. The future mentioned by Zhang Yan is exactly what he wants to pursue.
"I will hand over those who instigated and hinted at me to be Li Congke to the Jinyi Guards!" Murong Nobunaga seemed to have made a lot of determination.
Zhang Yan knew that asking a loyal man like Murong Nobunaga to hand over the people around him was not an easy decision to make.
So Zhang Shengren waved his hand, "No need! You and I, father and son, are practicing the way of heaven, and we are seeking peace and tranquility for the country and the people for thousands of years. We are of one heart and one mind. Why should we be afraid of the instigation of such monsters and monsters! Father, I believe in you and your will." Judgment and ambition.”
Murong Nobunaga burst into tears of gratitude, put his head on the ground, and kept sobbing, "My dear sir, I thank you for your trust, and I will never do such ridiculous self-destructive things again in the future."
Zhang Hao hurried over and helped Murong Nobunaga up, "My son finally understands that you and I are true father and son who share the same goals. Get up, I have a big thing for you!"
Murong Nobunaga took advantage of the situation and stood up while holding Zhang Hao's arm.
"My lord, please give me your orders!"
"I will hand over all the Tuyuhun tribes east of Hedong, north of Yanshan and Shanzhou to you, and I will also make you Duke of Yan, the Yan of you Xianbei people!"
Plop! Murong Xinchang slipped out and knelt down on the ground. This time, tears really came out. He looked at Zhang Yan with grief and anger.
"Sir, do you want to kill Nobunaga?"
Zhang Yan couldn't bear it any longer. He made a fist with his right hand, his index and middle fingers slightly protruding like a hammer, and struck Murong Nobunaga on the head. Then he took out the rolled-up map from his body that he had always carried with him. This was Zhang Yan's biggest secret and he never showed it to others easily.
"Come here! I'll show you a secret that even the gods and Buddhas don't know!"
Murong Nobunaga wiped away his tears and hurried over. He knew that Zhang Yan had a scroll that he carried with him and could not touch it for free. If he showed it to him now, there must be an extremely important reason.
Zhang Yan flattened the map on the table, pressed it down with a paperweight, and then pointed to a place on the map that looked like a dick sticking out of the mainland.
"This is Goryeo. Its founder Wang Jiangang died not long ago, and his son Wang Wu must have died suddenly. Baekje and Silla have just surrendered to them. There is internal instability and there are still opportunities to take advantage of it."
"Does the saint want to restore the four Han counties?" Murong Nobunaga asked cautiously.
Zhang Hao nodded, and then shook his head, "Nobunaga, the world we live in is not just China, Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Japan.
This world is actually very large. To the far west are the barbarians of Da Qin Fa (Christianity) and Da Shi Fa (Tianfang Sect). To the east, across the ocean, there are the Haidong Continent where the survivors of the Yin Shang have fled. "
Zhang Yan decided to compile history. From now on, he will associate the Indians with the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. They cannot reach America, but he claims to create it first.
Only then did Murong Nobunaga discover that in addition to Da Shi, Da Qin and Tianzhu, Zhang Xi's map also showed the Gauls, Germans, Vikings and Varangians to the west of Da Qin. Barbarians.
In addition, there is a large area of land east of Japan that is marked as Haidong Continent.
Moreover, compared with China, these places are not much smaller, and China as a whole only seems to account for less than 30%.
But this is actually a matter of Zhang Zhan's painting skills. It is impossible to occupy one-third of it, it just looks like that.
"I am showing you this painting, you just need to know that it is real and don't ask where it came from.
And when you look at this painting, it doesn’t mean that we, father and son, have to occupy all these places, because that is impossible.
It’s just that people who don’t have long-term worries will have immediate worries. Today, China is strong, but there is no guarantee that future generations will always be strong, so we must prepare for a rainy day. "
Murong Nobunaga nodded solemnly, "Sir, how can we prepare for a rainy day?"
Zhang Yan stuck a little white ash on the wall with his hand, and slowly drew a circle with his hand, first circling the entire traditional China, including Monan and Mobei.
"I have divided this area into three areas. This is our bottom line. As long as this bottom line is there, the soul of future generations will be there.
Even if there is a time when they fall behind, they will definitely unite together to protect this nation and make it rejuvenate. "
After saying that, Zhang Hao once again circled the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese Islands, and the Red River Delta in Jiaozhi.
"This is called the core. These three places have similar looks and similar cultures to me, so they are the easiest to assimilate.
At the same time, it is also the easiest race to compete with me, because they have all received the teachings of the sages, can endure hardships and stand hard work, and at the same time know how to educate, be wise, and work hard to make progress.
If they are completely unified with me, even if there are foreign enemies, there will be no big danger. If they cannot hold on, they will be in serious trouble in the future. "
Finally, Zhang Yan circled Central Asia, the Mekong Delta, and Siberia.
"This is a place of restraint. If we have it, it means that we have become unparalleled in strength. At the same time, it can open up the horizons of our descendants and encourage them to explore outwards. If we lose it as a last resort, it will not damage the foundation."
Murong Nobunaga looked at Zhang Yan in surprise, "The child thought that what his father valued most should be Hezhong, Persia and Tianzhu. After all, his father started his career here. Unexpectedly, what his father valued most was the Japanese country."
Zhang Hao was stunned, "How do you know that I like Japan the most?"
"Because the child watched the adults stare at the map of Japan for the longest time, and there seemed to be fireworks shooting out of the child's eyes. It was filled with gnashing of teeth, reluctance, and regret."
Zhang Yan was stunned, how could this sound like the three-point coolness and two-point nonchalance commonly used in the Internet literary circle in later generations? Can you really see so much from your eyes?
However, Zhang Hao did not continue to dwell on this, but looked at Murong Nobunaga seriously.
"My son, my father has entrusted this place to you. Do you think you can conquer it?"
Murong Nobunaga looked like he didn't know what to say, then shook his head, took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Yan.
"Sir, how many Dingkou are there in the Japanese country, and how prepared are they for war?"
Zhang Yan shook his head, "I only know that the Japanese country now has about one million households and five million people, but not much else is known."
Murong Nobunaga shook his head fiercely again, "It's difficult! Extremely difficult! Such a big country with a population of five million is already a prosperous country in the east of the sea like Goguryeo and Bohai in the past.
Moreover, it is surrounded by water and is not adjacent to me. There is also Wang's Korea in the middle. It may not be difficult to defeat, but it is extremely difficult to conquer. I am afraid that it may not be possible to succeed in ten or fifteen years. "
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Hao laughed with satisfaction for the second time.
"My son is indeed a hero! If you said it was not difficult, my father would not let you die.
You say it's difficult, which just proves that you are the right candidate. You are right. What I am most concerned about is the Japanese country. No matter how much it costs, I must conquer and annex it. "
Murong Nobunaga's heart was shocked like thunder. He thought that Zhang Yan might seal him out in the end. By keeping those who followed him with ill intentions, he was actually accumulating strength.
Because it was obvious that Zhang Yan wanted to conquer Xia Jun and the Yi people, Murong Nobunaga and Princess Yongle were accumulating some strength and were actually ready to go to Hezhong or Persia.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Yan would give him such a big hot potato. Should this be said to be trust? Or is it difficult?
But this was a decision made by Zhang Yan, and Murong Nobunaga would never refuse.
"What do you plan, sir?"
Zhang Yan took Murong Nobunaga's hand and said: "My father will give you the Tuyuhun people in the two prefectures of Hedong, north of Yinshan and Shanhe. It is estimated that there will be 50,000 households and 250,000 people.
After that, I will give you 2,000 households and 10,000 people from Dang Xiang Bubazi, who is best at mountain warfare in the Hengshan area of Ningxia Province.
I am going to give you two of the eight Khitan tribes, and it is estimated that you can get 50,000 people.
I will give you 10,000 households and 50,000 people in the Central Plains. After clearing out the bandits and water bandits in various places, I will give you 5,000 households and 30,000 people.
Finally, I am going to let you marry a woman from the Qian family of King Wuyue, and then marry a granddaughter of Hu Jinsi, the general of Wuyue Kingdom.
I will also give you the 30,000 people from the Yao family who fled to Wuyue in Jinghai. It is estimated that the total number will be 100,000.
So there are almost half a million people, and they are all good warriors. If there is no shortage of food and grass, at least 150,000 warriors can be drawn out.
Among them are the brave cavalry of the North, the heavily armored infantry, the elite mountain soldiers, the mountain bandits and water bandits who can serve as a wandering army, and the navy of Jiangnan East Road. Goryeo and Japan will definitely not be able to resist.
Of course, these people cannot be available immediately. I plan to provide them to you in batches over five years.
And what you have to do is to use all the Dangxiang ministries to recuperate in Youzhou for a year, and then go east to defeat Shulu Ping and Yelu Lihu mother and son, control the entire eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning, and hoard soldiers and the banks of the Yalu River.
During this period, I will let An Shenqi train his naval force in Jiaodong Province, and finally advance by land and water to regain the four Han counties and conquer the three Koreas.
After the recapture, kill half of the heroes in the four Han counties and keep the other half. My son will take the remaining heroes to serve as nobles in the three Han counties.
Then he killed half of the heroes in the land of Sanhan and left half, and finally took the remaining half of the heroes of Sanhan to conquer Japan across the sea.
At this time, the naval forces of Wuyue have been organized and trained. I personally urge them to set off from Jiaodong and cooperate with you to advance by land and water.
If it doesn't work once, strike twice. If it doesn't work twice, strike three times. Even if millions of people are recruited, China's strength will be used, no matter how hard it is!
My son, are you ready to be the master of these five million people? "
Murong Nobunaga was so excited by Zhang Yan's demeanor and determination that goosebumps crawled all over his body. He looked at the somewhat crazy Zhang Yan and said tremblingly.
"Sir, this is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and Korea may become a hell!"
"So, you must learn to kill! You must also kill well and kill people without causing civil unrest.
You have to have a balance in your mind about which ones can be tolerated and which ones must be killed by the whole family.
I don’t care whether Goryeo wants millions of people to die, what I want is Japan. "
Zhang Yan looked at Murong Nobunaga, and for the first time his usually gentle face showed ruthlessness.
After saying this, Zhang Hao's expression softened again.
"Of course this is the martial aspect, and regarding the literary aspect, my father has almost planned it.
Moreover, although the Japanese state was powerful, its climate was similar to that of China. It was not as dry and bitter as the rivers, and it was not as plagued and miasmatic as Cochin. It was easier to conquer than these two places.
My son sets out to do it, and if he succeeds, his descendants will be the kings of the Yan Kingdom, the most powerful king outside of China. "
Murong Nobunaga was dizzy, but something called ambition was growing crazily in his heart.
Calling him a lonely Taoist and a widower, being the leader of five million people is secondary. If he could leave such a big country to his descendants and let them be kings of the country for eternity, it would still be very attractive.
"Your Excellency has high expectations, and I have no shirking responsibility. However, this matter is really too big. I would like to calm down for a few days before confronting you!"
Zhang Hao nodded, this is human nature, no one can digest such a big thing right away.
"My son will go down to recuperate for a few days. When you have figured it out, come back to my father's place. We will discuss how to conquer the Japanese country and how Wen should operate it."
