Sun Ce's capture declared the complete destruction of the Sun Yangzhou.

As the news of Sun Ce's capture spread, the counties and counties in Yangzhou had no more resistance. After the Hebei army arrived, the king's flag immediately changed to the top of the city, declaring that the court was anyway.

——Nanchang

"Brother Wentai, tell me, your Hu'er has caused me a lot of trouble."

In the hall, the taste of the wine and food made people's index fingers tremble. Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan sat opposite Ma Qiang, while Dian Wei and Taishi Ci stood behind Ma Qiang, warning the Sun father and son opposite him not to have any bad ideas.

"Hahaha, I'm not the opponent of the general. Now that the general sees that we are all three of us, father and son, are you in front of you, do you feel that the world is in hand?"

"Hey~ I kept saying that the world is the world of all people, and there is nothing in hand or not."

Ma Qiang was modest and looked at Sun Ce, who was covered with a mummy due to multiple injuries and said, "Nephew, your injury has not healed yet, drink less wine and eat more vegetables."

Sun Ce remained motionless, and only felt that this banquet was a humiliation from Ma Qiang to their father and son.

Seeing Sun Ce like this, Ma Qiang smiled and said to Sun Jian, "Brother Wentai, look at this child, he is exactly the same as you, his temper is so stinky!"

???

Are you really scolding me Sun Jian?

"Okay, look back, they are all your old friends."

Old friend?

Sun Jian and his son turned around together, but saw several people walking in under the leadership of the soldiers.

How is that possible?

Sun Jian opened his mouth slightly, and he looked at the people who came in, his eyes gradually filled with tears.

"General!"

"Wenfa!"

"Demou...Boyang...you...you...all are still alive?"

Standing in front of Sun Jian and others were Sun Ben, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other generals who were captured by the Hebei army in previous battles.

Sun Jian glanced at everyone and found that there was no Zu Mao, so he couldn't help crying.

"General, we are still alive. This is a happy event. Don't cry! Don't cry!!"

Cheng Pu was the oldest in everyone, so he took the initiative to step forward and hug Sun Jian and comfort him.

"Demou, I am crying Darong. If I hadn't let him go to war that day, our brothers would have been able to gather here together today... Darong!!"

Ma Qiang sighed, "General Zu and the ship sank together, General Gan has also been looking for it for a long time..."

Sun Jian wiped his tears, looked at Ma Qiang and asked, "The general is like treating him well, but do you want us to serve you?"

"Father!"

Sun Jian reached out to stop Sun Ce who wanted to speak and sighed, "We have started a war in the past, but what we did was to support the emperor, to help the people, and to gain fame and fortune in the past.

Today, he was defeated and captured, and his life and death remained at the hands of the general. He should not have said too much.

However, because my father and son have suffered many casualties, I really dare not seek fame and fortune. I just want to cultivate the fields for the people, but I can live a life of the rest of my life!”

Want to be a commoner?

Are there a few farmers under my command of Ma Ziyu?

Think beautifully!

Ma Qiang smiled and said, "Bo Fu rebelled against the court and caused a big mistake. If he didn't punish, he would not be enough to intimidate the villains!

But Brother Wentai, you have made great contributions to the rebellion of Dong in the past. After Bo Fu pacified Yangzhou, he sent troops to encircle and suppress Shanyue, which is also considered to be a military contribution.

I thought about it over and over again. It would be impossible not to punish any mistakes, but it would not be possible to not reward any achievements.

Brother Wentai, I have a suggestion, please listen.

I know that Kuaiji, there are two large islands south of Jiaozhou. One is named Hainan and the other is named Ryukyu.

These two islands are not small, with a county and a population on them, but they are all wild people and have not been educated.

I want to set up counties in the two islands, which belong to Yangzhou and Jiaozhou. Among them, Liuqiu County, which belongs to Yangzhou, I want to leave it to Bofu for development. How about it?"

While speaking, Ma Qiang asked Dian Wei behind him to open a map, which clearly painted the location and size of Hainan and Ryukyu.

“Development?”

"Yes, I thought the reason why my Han Dynasty had troubled the Yellow Turban Rebellion was because there were many mediocre officials, secondly, because the local tyrants were plundered excessively, and thirdly, because there were too few fields.

I used the first two to deal with the clear field and the imperial examination system, but the third field did not appear out of thin air, but needed to organize people to reclaim wasteland.

Although there are many places to be reclaimed north of the Yangtze River, the potential south of the Yangtze River is greater.

After I am preparing to restore peace in the world, I will organize the country to carry out large-scale cultivation and development!

I want to turn those poor and bad waters that have been changed by the world into rich fields and gold and silver mountains surrounded by green waters!

According to my estimate, when this big development is over, my big man’s field can support at least 20 million people!”

If Yangzhou and other places can be developed, and then the high-yield crops in Dongshengzhou are transported by Gan Shi and others, Ma Qiang said that 200 million are few.

Sun Jian and others were frightened by this number and their heads were about to fall off.

Twenty million, brother, you really dare to brag!

When the entire Han Dynasty was at its peak, the population was only 60 million, right?

Two million, wouldn’t it be more than tripled?

If you can really do it, let alone the powerful generals in the world, no one dares to fart even if you usurp the throne and become emperor.

This achievement is too scary.

It was also at this time that Sun Ce and others felt why Ma Qiang had always dared to take the princes from all over the country for their own use.

This pattern is not a one-stop one.

You are still shouting for fighting and killing, and here you are already thinking about developing it in the future.

"Development is of course not just about reclaiming fields, but many places are not actually ownerless.

For example, Wuxi Man, Shanyue Man, Qiang Man in the northwest, and Goguryeo in the northeast, if we want to expand our living space, we must regroup these former descendants of Yan and Huang under our Han Dynasty.

This is needed, and this is needed!”

Ma Qiang pointed to his head and his sword.

Sun Ce took the initiative to absorb Shanyue in Yangzhou, and he agreed with this very much.

"There are also natives on Ryukyu Island. Bo Fu can take those who are willing to leave to Ryukyu to develop and settle down. From then on, Bo Fu will be the governor of Ryukyu County.

Although Ryukyu is still a barbaric land now, as long as it is well developed, it will definitely become a treasure island in more than ten years!

By then, Bo Fu will be remembered in history by virtue of his achievements in expanding territory.

Wentai, Bofu, what do you think?"

Sun Jian opened his mouth and did not speak, but looked at Sun Ce.

"Ce'er, you can make your own decision."

Sun Ce lowered his head and thought for a while, looked up at Ma Qiang and asked, "I dare to ask the general one."

"explain!"

"I have also heard of Ryukyu. I know where it is, and it is far away from the court. Wouldn't the general be afraid that I will be the king and rebel in the future?"

Ma Qiang was stunned for a moment, then patted his thigh and burst into laughter.

"What did the general laugh at?"

"Nothing, I just thought that I might be the first to recapture Ryukyu, it felt interesting."

Is this fun?
