Chapter 246: Thoughts
The northern barbarians were very cunning, usually nomadic tribes scattered in various places in the depths of the grassland, when the cold winter came, the pastures dried up and there was a shortage of food, so they gathered the men of various tribes to temporarily form an army, and went south to rob the people of the surrounding cities. It is not possible to gather 100,000 soldiers and horses every year, and sometimes several tribes unite together to gather 20,000 or 30,000 men, and they feel that they have a chance of winning, so they run over to attack the city. Most of them are robbing one place and then changing the next, not staying at all, robbing and killing all and burning them all, and the reinforcements have no time to put them out.
"How long does it take for the enemy soldiers to descend from the city to the arrival of reinforcements?" Gao Shenghan saw that he was a little distracted and patted his cheek gently.
How much time does it take?
Chen Zixiu smiled bitterly.
"There are no reinforcements." They fought against the enemy for two days and one night, and the beacon fire burned for two days and one night, and there were no reinforcements. Zuihou poured water and ice on the city walls and under the city gates, so that the enemy could not get close to the siege of the city, and later, probably because the other party was temporarily attacking, the reserve grain and grass did not keep up, so they had to retreat. The walls of Ganyebao were damaged, thousands of people were killed and wounded, the arrows and stones were almost exhausted, and the medicinal herbs were almost bottomed out...... He died of his injuries.
"Why?"
"I'm afraid that the enemy will make a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." The number of people in each fort was roughly the same, and to mobilize soldiers from the neighboring bunkers to relieve the siege would inevitably cause the emptiness of that place, and even more heavy losses would be incurred if they encountered another Northern cavalry on the way, or if the Northern Barbarians took advantage of the weakness to attack the earthen fort that had been aided by the soldiers.
"In your opinion, how can we change this situation of waiting to be beaten?"
Chen Zixiu was dumbfounded. After a while, he replied with a pursed lip: "The minister suggests that it is better to find a difficult place and gather half of the troops of the Northern Army to garrison." ”
Gao Shenghan smiled, "Is there really such a place, I still need to be embarrassed?" ”
Chen Zixiu also felt that it was impossible, and was speechless for a while.
The north and northeast of the Great Zhou Dynasty are mostly plains and grasslands, and there are also mountains and forests, and even a large forest area, but there are no natural dangers and narrow roads, and there are no offensive and defensive passes. Therefore, 64 forts could only be set up on the national border between Changyang Fucheng and Beiban as a buffer zone, which was also the national gate to prevent the barbarian chiefs from driving straight into Changyang.
"Listening to what you say, there are quite a lot of casualties every year, and the military department occasionally sends new recruits to replenish it, but it is far from being able to fill this gap. In the long run...... "Gao Shenghan twisted his eyebrows.
Thinking about half a salary, I feel that I still need to recruit more people, and in order to save military spending, I still have to tuntian!
"Let's talk about everyone's reaction after you spread the idea of Tuntian's army."
"The soldiers agreed and disagreed. Mixed reputation. "Those who disagree with it are naturally worried about the safety of their families, thinking that they just come to suffer and suffer from military service alone, so why bother to pull their family into the water! I agree with it because I miss my family, and I think that as long as my family is arranged in the towns and villages near Fucheng, they can also go home to help with farming during the truce, and the soil in the north is fertile, even if they can plant a season of rice or the crops next to it, it is also haode, after all, the land rent and tax of military households are very low.
"The minister heard that the army of the king of Yujun is to grow grain in the village enclosure of a hundred miles behind the garrison, and it is basically self-sufficient."
King of Yujun? Is that the guy who has a scrap son at home dares to reach out and play with the proton of the black sand country? When the incident happened in the winter of the previous year, she almost wanted to bury that stupid son in the dung pit as flower fertilizer, but she was worried that he was still stationed at the border in the north, so she didn't dare to do it, but she was locked up for a while. After that, the north fought a few victories, which gave him a lot of face, but he also threatened from the side: If he doesn't let go of his son, he won't fight!
"How much does the king of Yujun raise soldiers and horses?" Gao Shenghan cares about this.
"The minister is incompetent and has no evidence. I only heard people mention it, and it seems that there are 50,000 people. ”
Well, before he has mastered a single soldier, he has 50,000 soldiers. She's really deserving of the emperor.
"If the son of the world can't stand up, who will the 50,000 soldiers and horses pass on to in the future?" The old man is said to be in his fifties, and he can't carry it for a few years, so it's good to find out who will be the successor.
His second son and third son also fought with the army and were quite talented. The fourth son worked as a civilian in the army. ”
Depend on! It's so difficult to get a successor!
He also raised two sons at once......
Gao Shenghan's mind flashed, and he suddenly thought: Divide them up! It seems that the history teacher mentioned it when he was in school, what is the sub-feudal system? It was after the death of the elder generation of Xungui that the emperor presided over the division of the juniors, and even found a random excuse, and directly said to the lord that your son has done good deeds and has outstanding ability, and I plan to give him a fief to encourage him, since it is your son, your family property also has a share of his, why don't you set aside a small piece from your fief and give it to him? It is estimated that this can separate father and son!
Gao Shenghan's mood was a lot more comfortable all of a sudden, and he no longer forced to educate someone, threw the candle, and gently patted the place on his body that was dripping with wax oil to remove the wax tears, and the other party gasped in pain. But Rao is like this, the one who is not angry still quietly raised his head.
Depend on! Another masochistic physique?
Gao Shenghan glared, flicked his fingers, extinguished the candle, and the dark room suddenly fell into darkness, and his senses were sharper.
En, ah, ah, for most of the hour, extremely tired, both fell together and gasped.
"I didn't want you to go to war. The sword has no eyes, and you don't need to rely on this to earn a future. Gao Shenghan lay on the other party and touched his flat chest and abdomen boringly, and it was really long and strong, and the hard hand felt bad. I had to touch the little brother who softened.
Chen Zixiu couldn't dodge or fight, so she gave up on herself and went with her, her voice was a little muffled: "I don't want to achieve nothing......
"I'm going to open a military academy."
"Huh?!" Chen Zixiu's mind was still a little chaotic, and it took a while to understand what it meant, and he was so shocked that he almost didn't sit up!
I am held down by a slender hand and continue to touch.
"You prepare an excerpt, write a detailed jihua book, and then the preliminary preparation of the tutorial textbook has to be done by yourself. If you don't understand, go home and ask your dad for ideas. Or, looking for your friend? ”
Xiao Qiang.
The emperor knows.
Chen Zixiu couldn't say whether he was more worried or more excited, he was completely frightened by the emperor's proposal.
Military Academy!
He never thought that soldiers still need to go to a special academy for training and homework! Most of the generals are sons who inherit their father's business, or they are from poor families with a ruthless desire to get ahead, and they have real skills and excellent luck, so they can climb to a high position!
However, the emperor plans to cultivate qualified soldiers directly from the academy!
He couldn't speak for a while, and he couldn't even care about the fall of his little brother and being crumpled together.
