Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2447 Five Years of Development, Generals March South

Winter goes and spring comes, one winter after another passes, and in the blink of an eye, a full five years have passed since the three-year epidemic.

It took nearly five years for the Great Jin Dynasty to finally recover.

It is not only the vitality lost in the three-year epidemic, but also the vitality lost in a series of battles represented by the War in the Central Plains and the War in the South.

In the battles in the Central Plains and the South, the Jin army reaped rich rewards. It wiped out the two overlord-level princes, Zhu Yuanzhang, the overlord of the South, and Zhao Kuangyin, the overlord of the Central Plains, in one fell swoop, and took control of Jiao, Yang, Jing, Yu, Xu, and half of Yanzhou, a total of five and a half states.

However, more than 30% of the one million soldiers who participated in the war in the Central Plains and the South were lost. Almost all the major legions that participated in the war suffered heavy losses, especially the Jingzhou Legion that followed Bai Qi to attack Jiangxia, which suffered the most serious losses among all the armies.

In addition, Chang Yuchun's Yizhou Corps and Guo Ziyi's Central Corps also suffered heavy losses in the wars in the Central Plains and the South.

At the same time, the Xizhou battlefield and Liangzhou battlefield opened by the Yuan Mongols became an even more tragic part of the Jin Dynasty at that time.

After the three-year epidemic ended, the Great Jin Dynasty spent a full five years reorganizing the southern and central plains, especially the three problematic states in the Central Plains, to sort out the many problems that had not been solved in time.

In the three states of the Central Plains, the Jin Dynasty recovered a large amount of land.

In the Battle of Central Plains, a considerable number of aristocratic families perished in this battle. At the same time, a large number of civilians also perished. As a result, a large amount of unowned land was left.

However, due to the sudden arrival of the three-year epidemic, the Jin Dynasty at that time had no time to sort out this part of the land, so that a part of it, and a considerable amount of it, was taken away by the aristocratic families and bureaucrats through various means.

These aristocratic families and bureaucrats who lacked land not only included aristocratic families and bureaucrats originally from the Central Plains, but also included people within the Jin system.

After all, as Da Jin became stronger and stronger, a new group of powerful families began to grow, and these people are the meritorious group of Da Jin today.

Even during the three-year epidemic, when a large number of people died, part of the land left over was occupied by these people.

The same is true in the south, but the situation is not as serious as in the Central Plains.

During these five years, under the leadership of Guan Zhong and the three governors of the Central Plains, a long period of land recovery began.

The Jin Dynasty did not kill them all, and they did not touch the land that these noble families and bureaucrats originally owned. But in recent years, the land they occupied, especially the land occupied by improper means, was gradually taken back by Guan Zhong.

He even imposed heavy punishment on these aristocratic families and bureaucrats. Guan Zhong used this unconventional method to generate income for the court, which was in financial difficulties at the time, which can be said to have killed two birds with one stone.

Li Xiang wanted to take the opportunity to kill all of them, but he didn't have the chance. If he really killed all of them, it would cause a big mess. After all, these people included not only the Central Plains nobles and bureaucrats who had defected from Zhao Kuangyin's forces, but also the meritorious groups of the Jin Dynasty and the figures at the level of the Grand Commander.

Every great commander represents a family! Even those great commanders who originally came from poor backgrounds, their own families are constantly expanding during the rise of the Great Jin.

In addition to land, the Jin Dynasty has reorganized the appointment and management of officials, salt administration, finance, and other aspects in the past few years. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the problems that were temporarily suppressed due to the war were brought up one by one and solved one by one.

After all, a few years ago, the main goal of the Great Jin at that time was to wipe out the princes of all parties in the world, restore the old mountains and rivers, and rebuild the world.

Even if we see some problems that have been exposed or are about to be exposed, for the sake of the overall goal at the time and the main contradictions at the time, we can only suppress them temporarily if any trouble arises during the process of rectifying these problems.

In the past few years, economic recovery has become the mainstream, and all forces have temporarily put aside external conflicts. Therefore, these problems that were temporarily covered up in the past have the opportunity to be resolved.

In terms of military, during these five years, Dajin also completed the plan after the end of the three-year epidemic.

Although the Grand Commander-in-Chief of the northern states was retained, the system of Grand Commander-in-Chief was speculated and abolished in the Central Plains and southern states. A large number of Grand Commanders, especially in the south, completely abolished the system of Grand Commander-in-Chief.

Several major field corps and the East China Sea Navy have also been reorganized in the past few years.

It can be said that after these five years, whether in terms of economy or military, today's Dajin has recovered to its former peak state and is no longer in the weak state during the three-year epidemic.

These five years could be said to be the most peaceful five years since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Except for some internal conflicts in Jizhou, the entire Han Dynasty, and even the grassland and Li Tang, were in a peaceful state during these five years.

The war that lasted for more than 20 years seemed to have completely disappeared in the past five years.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to fight, but no one can continue fighting. Everyone is half dead, or even disabled, just hanging on to their last breath. How can anyone have the energy to continue fighting?

Even after five years, only Da Jin was the first to restore its national strength and return to its former peak state. The other several families have not yet fully recovered and are still some distance away from their former peak states.

This was especially true for Jizhou, because of the civil unrest that broke out during these five years. Although it did not really expand into a military struggle and was only a small-scale fight, it still affected their recovery, and they were the slowest to recover among all the forces.

After five years of pacification, the Great Jin Dynasty, which had been the first to recover its peak strength, also began to take the lead in a new step of military action.

However, in this military action, the Jin Dynasty did not target other princes in the Central Plains or the forces in the grasslands, but the area of ​​Southeast Asia.

During these five years, although the Central Plains was peaceful, Southeast Asia was not peaceful at all...
