TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 931: Chapter 390 Migrant Alliances with Wei_2 Chapter 931: Chapter 390 Migrant Alliances with Wei_2 Therefore, when the Coastal Aristocratic Families of Jiangdong were submitting, the families of the Shen and Shangguan were in a state of desperation.

Elder after elder took turns to persuade, and groups of women and children came with their toddlers to weep, all to urge Shen Qiu and Shangguan Ming to change their minds and not stubbornly resist to the end, thinking of their vulnerable families.

This extensive effort to encourage surrender caused a great commotion, and it was said that the whole of Jinling city was shaken, while Shen Qiu and Shangguan Ming were also driven to a frazzle, deeply shaken in spirit.

In recent days, they had not mentioned any talk of preferring death to surrender.

Looking at this trend, it was estimated that these two were also about to surrender.

“Hahaha.”

Upon hearing the news, Lu Yuan laughed heartily, expressing the joy in his heart before he restrained the laughter, and happily said, “Very good, Purple Cloud Dao has done well.

In this campaign to annihilate Ning Country, they should be credited with the chief merit.

However, Ning Country has not yet fully surrendered, and there are still several hundred thousand troops in the country, with several members of Inborn, not to be underestimated.

While these people have not surrendered, there are still variables in Jiangdong.”

After his joyful moment, Lu Yuan thought of those who were still observing and resisting on the ground in Jiangdong, pondered for a short while, and then said, “Immediately contact Purple Cloud Dao and ask them to bring Marquis of Wujiang, Chu Ming, Marquis of Wuming, Wang Xiu, and Marquis of Wuyi, Yu Ying to Tianluo Mountain.

Previously I had promised them that as long as they surrendered, the reward of a fiefdom would be granted.

Now that these three families have already turned to me, it is fitting to fulfill my promise.

Tell them that I plan to use Yulin County and Tonghai County to establish Ninghai Country, Nanning Country, and Tong Hai Country, to reward the contributions of these three families.

Now let these three come to Tianluo Mountain to receive their fiefs, and then arrange for their clans to migrate to Lingnan as soon as possible to establish their countries.

Besides, those Coastal Aristocratic Families without members of Inborn are also permitted to migrate with the ennobled families, with each country allowed to select one family to follow and join them in their move.

Great Chu will not hinder them.”

Since two months ago, Lu Yuan decided to mobilize Purple Cloud Dao ahead of time to press for Ning Country’s surrender and to distribute those Coastal Aristocratic Families to various counties in Lingnan and the southwest.

For the local populace of Tonghai and Yulin counties, Lu Yuan has started the migration.

In Tonghai County over there, the main people being moved were the local Chu people.

Some of the conquered Yi People, due to laziness in management and assimilation, were left there, planning to hand them over to those Coastal Aristocratic Families to deal with.

In Yulin County, the main group moved were the commoners and some local gentry and influential families inclined towards Chu State.

However, some remnants of Su Country, mainly descendants of the Nine River Sword Sect and local influential families hostile towards Chu, these unstable elements, were left behind.

Now, several months have passed, and the approximately six hundred thousand controllable citizens were gradually moved by Lu Yuan to Xiangyang Prefecture in the north, to bolster the local population.

As for Tonghai and Yulin counties, about a hundred thousand people were left in each, significantly thinning the population.

However, those Coastal Aristocratic Families, each one was considerable in size and had thrived for more than two thousand years, practically every family had a large population.

Any one of these six surnames and seven clans, just by its own members, would number tens of thousands, and if counting those connected to them, a hundred thousand was nothing unusual.

For those offspring of deeply rooted local families, Lu Yuan certainly would not allow them to stay in Linhai County, continuing their local connections, and hindering the rule of Chu.

So, for these remnants of the previous dynasty, his method was to relocate them all.

I do not wish to be thoroughly ruthless; that would be too cruel.

But neither should you cause trouble locally for me; all of you go to Lingnan, and there you can do as you please.

We will not bother each other.

So, for each of these six surnames and seven clans, each family can bring about a hundred thousand people when they migrate, with some perhaps even more.

Now among the Jiangdong families with Inborn individuals, even counting Shen Qiu, the Heavenly Son of Ning Country, there are no more than seven families in all.

Therefore, the small kingdoms granted in Lingnan this time are likely to be limited to seven in number.

And the counties in Lingnan which Lu Yuan is ready to give up are precisely Jiuzhen, Tonghai, Yulin, and half of Southsea, just enough for these seven to divide among themselves.

However, among these six surnames and seven clans, aside from the seven families with Inborn individuals, there are six more families without Inborn.

These six families without Inborn can only choose one country for themselves and migrate to the selected nation according to the allocation of one country per family.

With this distribution method of one country per family, plus the population provided with their fiefdom by Lu Yuan, each small country with half a county can manage to have a population of about two or three hundred thousand.

In this way, it might be barely possible to support the scale of a small country.

“Yes, Your Majesty, I shall carry out your orders,” Du Xin replied upon receiving the instructions and immediately left to execute them.

Lu Yuan then continued to ponder on the spot.

Though the population in each of the three small countries parceled out this time was somewhat scant, the promise had been kept to the minimum.

With these three examples before them, the Coastal Aristocratic Families still in observation should also be able to settle down and pledge their loyalty peacefully.

And with the dissolution of the largest resistance in Jiangdong, those with ambitions would no longer be able to stir up trouble.

The situation in the two counties of Linhai and Guangling was thereby nearly stabilized.

“However, Tonghai and Yulin counties, being places of vast lands and sparse people, moving hundreds of thousands of householders and commoners there doesn’t pose much of a problem.

But the remaining Jiuzhen and Southsea counties together have only six million households; to move them all would indeed be a massive undertaking.”

Moving populations, for Chu State, had already become commonplace.

Back when it was still the State of Changsha, after the victory of the Northern Expedition against Zhou Country, Lu Yuan moved two million people back from the prefectures of Xichuan and Hanzhong, a migration project that lasted more than a year, with settling the immigrants taking several more years.
