Three hundred and sixty-ninth chapter Zen (2)

After King Mi Tong of Chu returned to Shouying, less than half a month later, abdication ceremony was held in Zhangtai Palace.

Strictly speaking, Mi Tong's abdication is far from the abdication in Confucian theory. The abdication mentioned by Confucian scholars requires the presence of the abdication and the person who accepts the abdication.

After Mi Tong's abdication, the Qin King Ying Zheng of Xianyang did not come forward at all.

Meng Tian prepared for the future and cleared those monarchs who wanted to maintain the Chu State in advance, but there were not many twists and turns.

The snake cannot do without a head. Some people in the Chu people were still dissatisfied with Mi Tong's abdication. They were just dissatisfied with dissatisfaction. The Qin army was approaching, and no old nobles came up to take the lead in causing trouble. Ordinary Guizhou leaders still had such a great resistance force.

"If those private soldiers left by the vassal kings go and ask them. Those who are willing to continue joining the army will stay in the army. The credit will not be deducted. Those who are unwilling to stay will be given severance payments. The abandoned fiefdom will be distributed to them."

The power of the monarch was removed and the fief left behind, Meng Tian would not allow the powerful forces in Chu to rise, but simply distribute them to these landless private soldiers.

According to the fiefdom system of Chu State, everything in the fiefdom actually belongs to the fiefdom. Now that the fiefdom is not under the pressure on it, these private soldiers have become free people instead.

"In the future, the Qin army is located, and the Qian head of Chu can be used to make its own land."

Meng Tian's government orders were quickly spread to various parts of the Chu State through the civil servants in the army.

"What does it mean to be a land?"

In Shangyin Township, Yinling, Jiujiang County, where the orders of the emperor were usually placed on the high orders, the Qin army was banned.

"It is the land you are cultivating now. If you report it truthfully, these fields will be yours in the future."

The clerk who was responsible for writing the notice explained to the Qianshou question.

"Is the land I planted now mine?" The villagers opened their eyes wide.

“That’s exactly that.”

After answering, the clerk put away his brush and hurried to the next village.

I don’t know how many civil servants like this were busy with the land of Chu occupied by the Qin army and spread the Qin army’s orders to various places.

"I heard that the private soldiers outside Shouying City had land to divide when they returned home, so most of them were willing to go back. Only two thousand people were willing to stay and continue the battle."

In Shouying City, the former Lingyin's mansion is now the place where Meng Tian works temporarily, while Suiyue and Zeng Min become Meng Tian's right-hand man in government affairs.

"You have done a good job of comforting, and you have your money on the credit book."

Meng Tian smiled and asked the two to sit down.

Suiyue, Zeng Min was originally from Chen County. He had a strong voice in his mouth. He had no obstacles to communicating with the private soldiers in Chu. As civil officials and did not lead the army, Meng Tian felt more at ease to let them deal with the private soldiers.

Dou and Xi led the army. Meng Tian's plan was to let the two do dirty work and offend the Chu people, and did not intend to let them command more troops.

"It is the honor of both of us to do things for General Meng."

After Sui Yue, Zeng Min surrendered to Meng Tian, ​​obeyed Meng Tian's arrangements and kept carrying Mi Tong's flag, which made the two feel a little uncomfortable. Now that they have officially returned to Meng Tian's banner, they feel much more relieved.

"Next, the Qianshou work in realizing the land, and you and the two have to hurry up. As for whoever makes trouble, let Dou and Xi lead the army to cooperate. I don't want to see the local wealthy families, rampant in the village and bully kind villagers."

"It will definitely not disappoint General Meng."

After Sui Yue and Zeng Min left, Meng Tian's smile immediately closed.

It is not an easy task to make one's own land.

During the Warring States Period, the Chu State did not do very well. Most of the land in the current Chu State still belongs to the King of Chu and the vassals of various places. The head of the Chu State had no land under its name, and many people still belonged to slaves.

Meng Tian remembered that after the Qin Dynasty was unified, the policy of Guizhou's self-realization was implemented, but the effect was not very good.

When the Qin Dynasty implemented this policy, six or seven years had passed since the reunification of the world. The heads of the Guizhou leaders of the six countries gradually recovered from the power of the Qin army.

The wealthy families in Shandong boycotted this policy openly and secretly, resulting in a sharp rise in national grain prices.

The Qianshou people were in real estate, and the land of the wealthy families was damaged, so they naturally kept it. The Qin people could not implement it without the power to go deep into the grassroots level. When Qianshou learned about this policy, he was full of expectations and did not get benefits in the end, so he was naturally dissatisfied.

In Meng Tian's view, the failure of the Qin Dynasty was actually unpleasant.

However, Meng Tian had the opportunity to realize the real life of Guizhou.

The Qin army had just captured Shouying and was powerful. The Chu people had already broken their courage and did not dare to stand up and oppose it blatantly.

The prince of Chu, who was in a desperate situation, either fled to Jiangdong or retreated to Jiangnan. The prince of Chu who followed Mi Tong was killed in the palace of Chu.

The current land of Huaibei is in a vacuum of power, and Meng Tian can let go of it, but it will not arouse any objection.

Wartime policies are often so vigorous and unanimous.

The work of Chu land was in full swing, and with a large army in charge, it was generally smooth. In December, Meng Tian saw that the situation was stable, so he led his army south to Liyang.

Liyang is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, facing Jiangdong.

This section of the river was later called the Yangtze River. The water surface was wide and the water flow was not so turbulent. It was very suitable for the Qin army to set up a water camp here and be familiar with the environment of the Yangtze River.

"This is the first time I have seen such a vast river in so many years."

Standing at the head of Liyang City and looking at the vast Yangtze River water, flowing endlessly, Jing Su couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Jing Su grew up in Guanzhong, Weihe River and Jinghe River flowed sufficiently at this time, but compared with the Yangtze River, it was just a small stream.

After leaving Guanzhong, the river outside Hangu Pass was turbulent and the waves were surging. Jing Su always thought that the river in the north was the widest river. Unexpectedly, when he saw the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, he refreshed his understanding.

"The world is so big that mountains and rivers are beautiful. A mountain is only higher than a mountain, and a water is only wider than a water."

Meng Tian's eyes crossed the Yangtze River and looked at the land opposite.

The opposite Jiangdong was developed by Wu and Yue, and was not as good as the Central Plains. Xiang Yan stayed there. No matter how he resisted, he wanted to fight against Meng Tian's army and had a very small chance of winning.

No wonder Xiang Yu was unwilling to cross the east of the Yangtze River when he arrived in Wujiang.

The Wujiang River is not far northeast of Liyang, and is close to the Yangtze River. It is a ferry along the Yangtze River.

"After seeing it for a lot, your mood will naturally be different, and your vision will be different."

Jing Su nodded and said, "I only realized that I should not believe everything about the river written in the book."

The river in the books of the Central Plains people is full of praise. People who don’t understand it think that the river is really the best river in the world.

"The people in Qilu thought that Mount Tai was the highest peak in the world, so they compiled the legend of Fengshan."

Meng Tian sneered: "Like us, we have seen these mountains, rivers and rivers on the spot, and we understand what is actually happening and are willing to change our inherent concepts. People in Shandong, especially those in Qilu, think that they have a prosperous culture and will not easily let go of their arrogance......"
