The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

To the south of Jiaozhou, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south.

In this land, rivers also flow from north to south and eventually form plains in the south.

So the further north you go, the worse the land is; the further south you go, the better the land is.

The delta where the Lancang River flows into the sea was chosen by Shi Xie for himself!

Shi Xie even went to see it in person once.

He was sure that as long as they cultivated the land for several generations, it would become a fertile land!

If we can make that piece of land our own fiefdom, then what's the harm in giving up Jiaozhou?

Lu Su laughed twice, but avoided the topic: "But all this must be decided by the emperor!"

"Yes! Yes!"

……

Lu Su gave the map he got from Shi Xie to Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others.

When Sun Ce saw it, he immediately exclaimed “Tsk!”
"That Shi Xie's drawing is quite detailed!"

"After all, he is looking for a kingdom for himself, so how can he not pay attention to it?"

Zhou Yu spread out the map.

South of Jiaozhou.

This terrain, which has always been considered a wild land for the Han people, was completely presented to everyone!
The entire southern part of Jiaozhou looks like a protruding huge cattail leaf fan!

In terms of size, it is probably as big as several states!

"How many princes can this be used to enfeoff?"

Sun Ce looked at the map with envy.

No! This is not a map!

This is simply the big man’s cake!
Sun Ce couldn't help but feel envious when he thought that in the near future, the princes of the Han Dynasty would worship ancestral temples on these lands and call themselves Zong Daozu.

"There will be!"

While Zhou Yu was confident, he did not forget to paint a rosy picture for the people around him——

"The emperor said that the war against Kushan will be led by the navy."

"After this battle, I will definitely be able to achieve military merit and be honored as a lord!"

"Will Kushan be big enough for you to divide up?"

What's more...

Kushan is a great country! Its land has already been cultivated.

By then, I will be able to obtain a fiefdom in Kushan. Wouldn't that be more comfortable than the southern part of Jiaozhou?
Sun Ce, Lu Su and others all had their eyes shining.

Also!

And the Kushans are waiting for them!
Even if the Kushan land is gone, isn't there still Parthia further west?
If Anxi is gone, isn't there still the Qin Dynasty in the west?

Now that the system has been established, the emperor has indeed begun to revive the Zhou rituals and appoint princes! As long as you have real talent and knowledge, are you still afraid that you can't get a princely position?

"Okay! Let's verify whether Shi Xie's map is accurate as soon as possible, and contact the Annan Protectorate as soon as possible!"

Sun Ce tried hard to focus all his attention on the future and no longer reminisce about the past or Sun Quan!

"If I can really establish a state and build a ancestral temple, then my father and brothers..."

Sun Ce swallowed quietly, then immediately called for everyone to take action quickly!
In order to implement his fiefdom as soon as possible, Shi Xie also paid great attention to this matter!
However, in just two months, they worked together to complete the task assigned by the emperor!
The entire southern part of Jiaozhou and some huge islands in the South China Sea were mapped!

According to the nautical chart left by Li Fu, one can reach the Annan Protectorate by crossing the strait and following the coastline.

When Wang Ping and Zhang Ren saw the Han fleet coming across the sea from the south, they were extremely excited!

"But we are going to fight against the Kushans?"

Ever since the Kushans declared war on the Han Dynasty and cut off trade with the Han Dynasty, they have been dreaming of going to the Kushans and asking them to open their doors to the Han Dynasty!

Now that they saw the Han fleet, they could no longer hold back and wanted to send troops immediately!
"Don't worry, you two."

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu naturally wanted to attack Kushan as soon as possible and seek a vassal state for themselves!
"But we must report to the emperor first, right?"

"Don't worry! The Kushans are there! They can't get away!" In the end, Lu Su, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai and others stayed in the Annan Protectorate to gather intelligence on the Kushans. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu returned by the same route and delivered the maps they had drawn to the emperor in Jinling.

After Liu Xie received the map, he saw that although there were some deviations from the map in his memory, it was generally consistent. He knew that the meritorious officials of the Han Dynasty had finally ushered in their own feast.

"Appoint Zhong Yao as Duke of Chen and establish the State of Chen east of the Lancang River."

What Shi Xie wanted was the entire Lancang River Delta.

It is really greedy for Shi Xie to monopolize this Feng Shui treasure land...

Therefore, Liu Xie divided the area east of the Lancang River, which was the southern part of Vietnam in later generations, into the State of Chen, which was the fiefdom of Zhong Yao.

"Appoint Xun You as Duke of Xu and establish the State of Xu north of the Chao Phraya River."

Most of the Xu State is what later became Thailand.

"He appointed Shi Xie as the Marquis of Yue and established the Yue State in the west of the Lancang River."

The location of the Kingdom of Vietnam is what later became Cambodia.

Moreover, the nobility titles from Duke to Marquis also meant that the number of dukes in the Han Dynasty had been determined.

Jia Xu, Duke of Liang, whose fief was located in the Ili River Valley.

Liu Biao, Duke of Qi, whose fiefdom was located in the northeast of Liaodong.

Lu Bu, the Duke of Yin, whose fief was located in the former territory of Wa.

Duke of Chen, Zhong Yao, whose fief was located in the south of Jiaozhou.

Xun You, Duke of Xu, was whose fief was located in the south of Jiaozhou.

Five dukes, plus the line of King Yong Dong Zhuo in the Hehuang Valley, were granted fiefdoms in the east, west, south and north of the Han Dynasty. Just like the duchies in the early Zhou Dynasty, they should be the heads of the vassal states and serve as role models!
But the Han Dynasty’s feast of achievements was clearly not over.

Because the map sent by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also clearly marked some islands in the south.

The later Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java...

But from today on, they will obviously no longer be called by this weird name.

"They are called Lanfang Island, Jinzhou Island, and Yediao Island respectively."

"Zhang Liao was made Marquis of Zhao, and the State of Zhao was established west of Lanfang Island."

"Gao Shun was made Marquis of Han, and Han was established east of Lanfang Island."

"Xu Huang was appointed as the Yuhou, and the Yu State was established in the north of Jinzhou Island."

"Zhang Xiu was made Marquis of Cheng, and the State of Cheng was established in the south of Jinzhou Island."

"Pang De was made Marquis of Bi, and the State of Bi was established on Ye Diao Island."

……

no doubt.

These islands are destined to be deserted.

Except for a small number of indigenous people, there will be no one living here.

But Liu Xie believed that once the Kushan war was settled and the two sides began maritime trade, the vassal states passing through this route were destined to become rich!
It's just that this process will be long.

But gradually, more and more Han people came from their homeland, began to leave their marks, and multiply here!

The big pie that Liu Xie had drawn back then was finally eaten intact!

Although Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others don’t know what those places are like...but does it matter?

The important thing is that from today on, they have completely become the princes of the Han Dynasty! They have truly become the rulers of a country!
Not to mention that the emperor allocated such a large piece of land to them.

Even if it is just a small place, as long as the emperor can legally recognize their status as princes, they will be so happy that they will go crazy!
As for the barren land and low population...

hum!

The Han people lack everything except people!
If you give someone 100 acres of land, they may refuse to go, but what about 1,000 acres? 10,000 acres?
As long as you come to the vassal states, you will be given land!
If you can read, you can be directly employed as an official! You don't even need to take the imperial examination! No need to study hard in the Central Plains!

Not to mention, if you discover a gold or silver mine, wouldn’t you be rich?

Sooner or later!

Sooner or later! These lands will completely become the shape of the Han people! Provide enough space for the suffocating Han people to breathe freely! (End of this chapter)
