It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 114 Daqin Orthodoxy in Jiaozhi

The capital of Cochin, Cochin County.

When Zhao Tuo entered South Vietnam, he brought the production technology, rites and music education, customs and production methods of the Central Plains into South Vietnam.

Its successors also adhered to multiple political systems of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and at the same time adopted policies that blended South Vietnamese culture.

This also made the culture of the Central Plains gradually penetrate into every corner of South Vietnamese society, culture, and life.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Nanyue and established Jiaozhi County, which continued to promote the Central Plains culture in South Vietnam.

Then go to Shi Xienan to escape to Liangshan.

Although the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan were independent, they still followed these policies of integrating culture.

Even the scholars have done a good job in this aspect during the hundreds of years in Cochin.

Such as encouraging intermarriage between South Vietnamese and Han people, running schools to educate the people, promoting respect for the elderly, changing customs, etc.

For hundreds of years, Jiaozhi has been extremely stable and has developed extremely rapidly.

As a result, the development of Jiaozhi County City is no different from that of ordinary Dahan County City.

It was these that gave Liu Ke the idea of ​​​​annexing the Jiaozhi Kingdom.

Although it is a foreign country, it is indeed a good place.

They have laid the foundation for you to rule for you, and they have developed it very well. If you don’t swallow others, who will you swallow?
Dating back to the jurisprudence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this is also a place where the great Han has existed since ancient times!

The royal palace of the Jiaozhi Kingdom is a Qin-style court.

It was rebuilt by Shi Xie on the basis of Zhao Tuo's palace before.

The floor tiles are even made according to the bricks used in the palace buildings of the Qin Dynasty, and their patterns are the same as those of the Qin Palace in Xianyang.

The current Xianyang Palace, but there is no trace of it in Chang'an.

But in the intercourse, you can find the eyebrows of Xianyang Palace in Qin Dynasty.

Even in some remote places, Qin-style hexagrams are still used.

Cochin Wang Shihai is relatively young, and he only inherited the throne five years ago. He has no big ambitions and spends his days having fun.

However, this does not delay Jiaozhi Kingdom's food and drink. This place has been developed for many years and is too rich.

Shi Hai was having fun with his concubines in the palace when suddenly Xiangguo Gao Rang rushed into the palace to ask for an audience:
"My lord, the Han army sent troops across the sea to attack. It is imminent. Please make a quick decision, Your Majesty!!"

"what?!"

Shi Hai was so frightened that he hastily pulled his hand away from the milky white snow, with a look of horror on his face:

"Didn't we send troops to attack Qiongzhou?"

"Why did the Han army send troops to attack Jiaozhi?"

Shi Hai couldn't figure it out at all, the Great Khan of Donghu wanted him to fight the big man, but because of Donghu's power, he ordered to send troops.

But what's the situation now?
Before he hit the big man, the big man came over?
Gao Rang has regular facial features and looks like an honest man, but there is a gloomy look between his brows:
"Emperor Han personally conquered, claiming to lead [-] troops to attack across the sea."

"Eighty thousand??!"

Shi Hai panicked, his face turned pale, and he almost fell to the ground in fright.

With the ability of Emperor Han, it would not take [-] soldiers and horses to fight Donghu, so how can Jiaozhi Hede!
"Emperor Han personally conquered, or [-] soldiers?!"

"How to fight this! Why don't we vote! We are a big Han nation, so it is not suitable to fight!"

"No!"

Gao Rang sternly refused, and Wei Shihai analyzed bit by bit:

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything about military affairs, and he doesn't know anything about big men."

"Why did the minister repeatedly advise and persuade His Majesty to obey Donghu Da Khan and send troops to Qiongzhou?"

Shi Hai subconsciously said:

"Donghu is too strong, we have to be dogs for Donghu people."

But seeing that Gao Rang was still bowing down, he thought about it seriously and asked tentatively:

"My lord, remember, is it because Qiongzhou is short of food?"

"Exactly."

Gao Rang sighed and nodded slowly:
"Qiongzhou is short of food, even if it is forced from the people or from the aristocratic family, it will not be able to raise enough food and grass to supply [-] soldiers and horses in a short period of time."

"In addition to people eating horse chews, we also need to meet the supply of the peasants, and the food and grass are extremely tight."

Shi Hai put his hand on the tip of his nose and smelled it. The lingering fragrance was still there, showing a naive expression, and then scratched his head:
"That's fake news? The Han army didn't come to attack at all?"

"The big man just released fake news, trying to deceive us."

"Let us see that the situation is not good, recall the troops and horses to take a defensive position, and delay sending troops to Qiongzhou."

"So that Qiongzhou can safely pass through the autumn harvest season, so that the big man will have a chance to breathe. Once the autumn harvest is over and taxes are collected, there will be food."

"In this way, we can easily deal with our army's offensive."

What Shi Hai said was serious, but Gao Rang denied it:
"This matter cannot be faked. The Han army has already crossed the sea to attack. Although the specific soldiers and horses are unknown, the number will never exceed [-]."

"Forty thousand Han troops?"

Shi Hai patted his chest, walked up and down the palace, and suddenly stopped:
"Then let's vote."

Gao Rang frowned, why is the king so disobedient?
He tried hard to persuade:
"Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, how can you surrender without a fight?"

Shi Hai also frowned at the same time.

He couldn't bear much resistance in his heart.

The big man half a year ago even had the idea of ​​getting a piece of the pie, but the big man now?
just forget it.

When Gao Rang persuaded him to send troops before, he said that the Han army was about to run out of food, so he took the opportunity to send troops across Liangshan to take Gaozhou and Qiongzhou, which would not only win the favor of the Donghu people, but also expand the territory.

He did agree, and had some thoughts in his mind again.

But how long has it been since the dispatch of troops?

As soon as the food and grass were prepared, and the Cochin army hadn't crossed Liangshan, Emperor Han punched him with a backhand!
Even if only [-] soldiers and horses take the initiative to send troops, there is no danger of food shortage!
Emperor Han had the means to conjure food and grass out of thin air, so what else could he fight?
When fighting the Eastern Hunan Army before, there were only [-] forbidden troops, and there were not many casualties against the Pu Liuru Navy.

Of course, it's no problem for the poorly trained soldiers and horses of Jiaozhi to fall into trouble and beat some Han troops who are out of food.

But how could he please the emperor of Han, who was conquered by the emperor himself?
Not to mention the 8000 army, the Emperor Han used [-] men to take over the two kings of thieves in the South China Sea.

To attack Yizhou, there are only [-] Han troops and the newly subdued pirates!
Looking at it this way, surrendering without a fight is better than surrendering after destroying the country. The treatment is better, right?
You can also gain a good reputation for keeping the people safe, and you can become a rich man even if the country is subjugated.

Shi Hai had his own ideas, but he was really annoyed by Gao Rang's persuasion. Seeing that Gao Ran looked like you couldn't do it again, he simply said:

"Gao Xiangguo, then tell me what to do!"

Gao Rang took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is still young and doesn't know anything about military affairs, so I can leave it to my ministers to defend against the Han soldiers and horses."

"Your Majesty can live in the deep palace, and it is enough to listen to the reports of his subjects. With the assistance of court and Chinese talents, he will definitely be able to stop the Han army."

"In addition, if you really can't resist, even if you lose, the king can still break up with Emperor Han."

"It's enough to just blame the ministers for the fault, and bluntly say that this is all the minister's opinion, and the king has not participated in it, so you can keep safe."

Shi Hai suddenly smiled:

"That's good! This king will issue an edict and let them all obey you!"

He thought about it for a while, and voted without resistance. He always felt a little ashamed and felt sorry for his ancestors.

But if there is a lot of resistance, it may not be possible to win. What if the Han Emperor asks for his crimes afterwards?
Emperor Han did not show mercy when he killed people.

This is to ask the crime and be cut off. After the scholar's family is extinct, wouldn't you be more sorry for your ancestors?

Now that Gao Rang is willing to take the blame, it couldn't be better!
Shi Hai immediately issued an edict in handwriting, although he seemed to be capable like that, but his handwriting was quite good, Xiao Yuan often read it, and I was afraid that he would still want to learn from each other.

With Shi Hai's edict, Gao Rang withdrew without saying much.

He did not use the imperial edict to exert power for a while, but actually called capable civil and military officials in the court to discuss matters:
"Our army can send [-] troops, and among the civilian Nanyue people, there are about [-] of them capable of fighting."

Gao Rang was not afraid of the Han army.

Although there are few regular troops in the Cochin Kingdom, the natives of Nanyue are really tough, and they are very familiar with the terrain. They can cross mountains and ridges as if they are walking on flat ground. This is one point that they are stronger than the Han army.

If it is an offensive war, he is still a little worried.

But if it was a defensive war, those South Vietnamese natives would inevitably mobilize themselves and resist the Han army spontaneously.

This is [-] battle-ready soldiers, and counting the soldiers of the counties and counties, they are not afraid of the Han army of [-] to [-].

Even if you lose the battle, you can always defend the city!
Gao Rang continued:
"The Han army came to attack, and the emperor even personally marched. Coupled with the information sent by Donghu Great Khan, the big man's desperate approach obviously means that there is a huge logistical problem."

"How much food is left in the three counties of the middle school?"

Gao Rang asked Lu Shan, a civil official.

This person is ugly, but he is good at memory. He recites all kinds of chores that are played every day, and he can naturally memorize the food stored in the county and city.

Lu Shan replied:
"Rinan County and Jiuzhen County have 14 shi and 12 shi of grain respectively, and Jiaozhi County has 20 shi."

"There is no record of private grain storage, but last year was a good year, and there are not a few private grain storage."

"So, just looking at the grain storage in each county, there should be about 50 shi."

Gao Rang confirmed it again, and Lu Shan gave a more detailed distribution of the granaries in each county.

Hearing that there is plenty of food in store, and discussing civil and military matters, he is also relieved.

One person eats one stone for one month.

Even if you count the folk husbands, cattle and horses, and 50 shi of grain and grass, it is enough to last for a long time.

Don't be afraid of the Han army coming to attack, even if you can't beat it, you can hold it if you stick to it!

However, Gao Rang's face was not a bit happy, but his face was more dignified, and he continued to ask:
"How many acres of distant farmland can't be taken care of by soldiers and horses in the country, and soldiers in the county and city?"

"Let's say there are millions of acres..."

Lu San replied subconsciously, and then realized that something was wrong, and suddenly realized:
"Does Xiangguo think that the reason why the Han army rushed to attack is to grab the grain outside the city before our autumn harvest?"

High let heavy nod.Show complex color:
"It must be so!"

"Qiongzhou is short of food and grass. Although we can raise a certain amount of food and grass to send troops, it is extremely difficult to supply food and grass under long-term combat."

"And I've heard before that the emperor of Han even robbed pirates, so he will definitely not let our country have a safe autumn harvest!"

"When our army sends troops into Qiongzhou, we have to worry about the destruction of the fields. It is the big men who are unfavorable for the autumn harvest."

"As for the Han soldiers entering Jiaozhi, we are the ones who should worry about these things!"

In response to the civil and military affairs that he felt at ease at first, he said that he would suffer.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Han had such a hand.

Is this coming for sex?

This is rushing to grab the Cochin autumn harvest grain!

I thought about it before, if I can't beat it, I will defend it.

What are you guarding now?

Once on the defensive, this year's autumn harvest will be taken away by the Han army!

The 50 shi of stored grain is not only for the army, but also for the common people!
Collecting grain and paying taxes only relying on those acres of land that can be taken care of is a drop in the bucket!

Speaking of this, everyone knows the danger of the matter, and also knows one thing.

The big man's food was insufficient, so he either traded or plundered abroad.

And the Jiaozhi Kingdom happened to be at this juncture, obeying Donghu Da Khan's wishes to send troops, which just gave them an excuse!

Ever since, it became the target of being robbed!

But they couldn't say anything, after all, they were going to do this before.

How could it be possible for the two countries to be at war and let each other have a smooth harvest? This is not the Spring and Autumn Period when there are enemy soldiers in the pits of the wheels to help carry the carts!

The Han people treated their own body in their own way.

Thinking of this, all the civil and military officials looked worried, and looked at Gao Rang one after another, saying:
"Does Gao Xiangguo have a good plan to save my Cochin soldiers and civilians?"

Gao Rang looked at the map and ordered:

"The Navy will go to sea immediately. Even if the Han army cannot be blocked at sea, it must slow down the landing speed of the Han army."

"It's best to delay until after the autumn harvest. During the period, pay close attention to the movement of the Han army ships. Once you have a specific landing intention, report it to me immediately."

"The Han army must not be allowed to land easily!"

Jiaozhi has a navy. When it was still the South Vietnam, in order to deal with the later Han Wu army, it tried its best to build an elite navy.

The long-standing shipbuilding technology of the South Vietnamese was also cultivated at that time.

In addition, there are many dense forests in the middle school, and there is no shortage of wood, so there are also sailors.

It's just not too much. There has been no war for many years, and I have saved [-] family properties.

"Yes!"

Immediately a general took the order and left.

Gao Rang continued:
"Besides, adjust Jiuzhen and Rinan counties to change defenses, Lu Shan, you go there yourself."

"Yes!"

This is not a trivial matter, the county soldiers are all local people, if they see that the big Han soldiers are unstoppable, in order to protect themselves and their family property, maybe they will vote.

Quickly deploying the troops of the two counties will make the defense of the county more stable.

Everyone thought that Gao Rang still had orders, but after seeing Gao Rang, they fell silent.

Someone asked: "Gao Xiangguo, the war is urgent now, why did it stop?"

Gao Rang frowned, and nodded in Rinan County:
"The Han army traveled by sea and land, and the port near Jiaozhi County is heavily fortified, so it is inevitable that they will not choose to land nearby."

"It's more likely a port east of the unsuspecting Nichinan Prefecture."

The general was even more puzzled:

"Since we know that the Han army has landed at the port, why didn't Xiangguo deploy his defenses earlier?"

"Or take the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields, grabbing food, and letting the Han army's plan fail!"

"There are too few troops in the country. Separate garrisons will only be divided and broken. Fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness is also the next strategy."

"The most important thing now is to slow down the advance of the Han army."

Gao Rang continued: "Although it is urgent, there is no rush."

"Wait until the Han army's marching route is determined, and then block it with a large army, then there will be a chance of victory."

"At that time, even if the Han army can barely supply the grain and grass, or even take away the autumn harvest grain and grass first, the climate, terrain, and mosquitoes in Cochin will also be difficult for the Han army to overcome!"

Everyone heard it, and their eyes lit up.

Indeed, the number of Jiaozhi soldiers and horses is not dominant, and the armor is certainly not as strong as the Han army.

Especially in terms of generals, the Han Emperor's personal conquest was too terrifying.

That's Zhang Huaiyang, the general of the Eastern Hunan Army who was able to fight, retreating steadily, burning down the general Liuru's navy, and forcibly destroying the big Han and making it a living situation!

Every general present here felt a little apprehensive when they heard that they were about to confront Emperor Han.

There are many forests in Cochin, if the Emperor of Han started a fire, wouldn't he be able to burn them all?

If you divide the troops at this time, it will be tantamount to suicidal.

But Gao Rang now puts their hearts at ease.

Don't have to fight hard.

Just one word, drag.

As long as the time is long enough, even if the Han army can still supply food and grass, the Donghu people will react and beat the weak rear of the big man.

On the contrary, the grain harvested in autumn will attract the Han army, seduce the Han army to march forcibly, and stay in the wild.

At this time, the climate and geography of Jiaozhi will also become the grave of the Han army!
I heard that Emperor Han didn't even build a mausoleum after he ascended the throne.

Then Jiaozhi will become the mausoleum of Emperor Han!
